Chapter 425: Chapter 250: Big Case, Unexpected Gain_3

"Staff staying at the base?"

Brian exclaimed in surprise.

Alpha nodded, "Yes, after the institute closed for the holiday, I returned to Jiao Town. Unexpectedly, my niece died less than two kilometers away from me, so I recommended Team B6 to Chief Jilder, who was the first to arrive."

Brian: ..

Alright.

So that’s how it is.

He glanced at Alpha, "So why did you stop me?"

Alpha’s eyes showed sadness,

"My sister had been divorced for many years, devoting most of her emotions to her son and daughter. But then she heard this news and committed suicide this morning.

Mr. Brian, I have investigated some of your information. I know you are a remarkable person.

I beg you to find the murderer..."

"This is my duty, you may leave now," Brian nodded indifferently.

He would solve the case.

However, Alpha’s approach made him feel somewhat annoyed, as if he went from proactively solving the case to being forced into it.

And this guy was going to be his subordinate in the future.

That feeling made him even more annoyed.

This guy does not seem to have much emotional intelligence, probably didn’t mix well at the institute, otherwise he wouldn’t have been left behind by those at Black Light Biotechnology Company for me to deal with.

Alpha didn’t notice the change in Brian’s mood.

He looked at Brian gratefully and pulled out a USB drive from his pocket, "Mr. Brian, I don’t have much money, this is my private research project, not yet published, please help me kill that criminal, I..."

Brian: ..

Is this something you say out loud?

Alright, this guy really lacks social skills.

Luckily, it’s quite far from the reporters.

Green and Chief Jilder pretended they didn’t hear and turned their heads away.

Brian took the USB drive, looking towards Jilder.

Chief Jilder obediently walked forward, moving away from the scene.

He didn’t know Brian but was aware that the people of NW are not to be trifled with and needed the clean-cut face before him to help solve the case or share the blame, so he did not want to upset him over a trifle.

Seeing the people walk away.

Brian casually asked Alpha, "What is this research about?"

Alpha earnestly said,

"A very significant research!

Decades ago, the institute had a research project called the Gluttony Gene.

Individuals injected with this gene develop a severe appetite for the flesh and blood of their own kind and could absorb certain special substances from the flesh, causing mutations.

However, individuals who could integrate the Gluttony Gene are very few; it only appeared once among tens of thousands of individuals and consumed a lot of resources.

Therefore, except for that surviving individual, the project was shelved.

I think the project, though cruel, has great potential. So, changing my approach, relying on gene grafting technology.."

What followed were strings of incomprehensible technical terms.

But Brian understood the final words.

Essentially, Alpha had applied this technology to plants and, after tens of thousands of experiments, cultivated a unique type of Cannibal Flower.

This Cannibal Flower, not only immensely more vital than most existing plants, could through the flesh, bear a special kind of red fruit.

According to Alpha’s tests.

These red fruits contained significant energy.

Ordinary lab rats needed only a little to go a week without needing to eat while maintaining their vitality, and if they ate too much, they would bleed from their mouths and noses.

Brian was shocked after hearing Alpha’s introduction.

Damn.

Isn’t this high-energy food?

Similar items, for which various official organizations research to ensure the combat demands of High Rank Warriors, also exist.

Like Nutrient Liquid, special Energy Bars and the like.

But those things are not cheap to synthesize, otherwise, they wouldn’t need merit points to exchange.

Special Energy Bars could be bought with cash, but the price wasn’t cheaper compared to merit points, and they were only available in limited quantities.

If what Alpha said about those special Cannibal Flowers, that they really could just use flesh to cultivate fruit, then this research truly has great value!

Thinking this.

Brian carefully stored the USB drive, his indifferent expression immediately turning enthusiastic:

"Alpha!

You’re an employee of my research institute, which makes you one of my own people!

Your matters are my matters!

I, Brian, treat my people as brothers!

Don’t worry, I will find the person who killed your nephew and niece, caused your sister’s death, and I’ll personally twist his neck off!"

Who says low social intelligence!

This is clearly a research-obsessed talent!

This talent, I’ll take him!

Previously at the institute, because Alpha couldn’t talk well, he was always alienated by his colleagues, but he didn’t expect the new BOSS to be so kind!

He choked up and nodded, "Thank you, Mr. Brian. You’re a good person."

"Mr.? Call me boss!"

Brian patted Alpha’s shoulder, "Alright, Alpha, you don’t look well, go back first. I’ll contact you after I solve the case."

"Okay, boss!"

Alpha, somewhat sadly, glanced at the depths of the forest and turned to walk outside.

He still had to claim his sister’s body and handle the funeral.

..

Unexpectedly, there was also an accidental gain from this outing.

Feeling quite pleased, Brian was preparing to lead Green to inspect the scene.

Suddenly.

He squinted his eyes slightly.

"Gluttony gene... Cannibalism..."

Isn’t this the mutation talent of that little girl mutant they encountered at ’Alice Garden’ while investigating the highway disappearance case previously with Green?

Brian’s current sonic attack and tracking abilities were obtained from that little girl mutant.

That’s right, the institute he took over was responsible for the research project involving that little girl.

Only after killing that mutant girl did Benjamin, the person in charge then, begin interacting with him, eventually dying by his hands.

He touched the USB drive in his pocket, the corners of his mouth turning up.

Fate, indeed wonderfully indescribable.

...

Considering it as buying goodwill, Brian was also prepared to resolve this case beautifully.

He quickened his steps towards the crime scene.
