Chapter 1044: Chapter 1044 Partially Missing Files

"She can access such documents which undoubtedly must be publicly available," said Chi Minghong. "She can’t touch the encrypted files at all, just knows that the government office has such a place."

"It just so happens that I helped her look as well, events involving a certain population as she described are rare. Usually, they involve local residents, not matching Liao Lian’s situation."

"If the person hasn’t died, they might have entered some channels where the government office leaves no documentation. In such cases, it’s almost certain that the person is already dead."

If it were just Liao Lian alone, regardless of whether she was dead or missing, there would be countless possibilities, with no specific leads, making it difficult to search. But Lu Qing found out that it involved a large group of people who were picked up periodically from Snow City. Such a characteristic is quite evident and shouldn’t be so easily concealed.

However, no matter what Liao Lian had encountered, the likelihood of her being alive was very low. From a realistic perspective, searching or not didn’t make much difference.

Lu Qing was aware of this too and quickly gathered her emotions.

"Miss Chi, please give me a ticket," she looked at Chi Minghong. "I’d like to visit your hometown; I can slowly repay the ticket with work at a high interest rate!"

Chi Minghong smiled, "A ticket is nothing. You had the courage to come searching on your own, keep living well, you have a bright future."

Lu Qing choked up, "I hope I live to see the destruction of District 002!"

Chi Minghong paused, "That wish is too ambitious, I’m afraid I can’t help much with that."

Although Lu Qing’s words were radical, given Dong Jingxuan’s precedence from earlier, the others including Dong Yanqiong didn’t comment.

"Don’t be too extreme," Xu Huo said to her. "District 002 has no deep feud with you, and there’s no need to escalate the hatred. Not to say whether you can achieve it, just harboring such belief will hinder you from living well in any district."

Lu Qing kept her head down, not saying anything.

Xu Huo did not say more. A spark can start a prairie fire, and it is human thought that is the most dangerous. Currently, for Lu Qing as an ordinary person to talk about taking revenge on District 002 might seem ludicrous, but often people do not foresee the repercussions of their own actions, and in reality, no one can predict what will happen.

"Rest for a while before leaving," Chi Minghong carefully considered her emotional state. Her district, although not chaotic like District 002, was no sanctuary either.

Xu Huo took out a sanctuary reference, nodding to Chi Minghong, "I’ll step out in a while."

Chi Minghong indicated she would stay alert.

With the door closed, isolating the curious eyes of Wei Yu and others, Xu Huo then activated the holographic projection.

Previously, the data from Doctor Zhang’s laboratory, which he had already seen, were direct copies from the lab and saved in government offices. These indeed mentioned psychological treatments and charity support for children, but the numbers and examples were not typical.

The real highlight was in the encrypted files at the government office.

The orphanage was also a focus for District 002; children with talents were almost always picked before turning twelve, hence Doctor Zhang’s various psychological suggestions and seemingly hypnotic training caught traces, the entire surveillance process lasting six months.

Perhaps the government office wanted to see the results of Doctor Zhang’s experiments, since among the children he picked, only one-sixth were considered high IQ by the government office standards, his selection criteria differed.

This surveillance material seemed to be dated earlier, by the time Doctor Zhang began using potions on the children, the materials became simplified and vague, and towards the end only mentioned Doctor Zhang’s arrest without any results of the arrest.

The government office’s focus was on the laboratory, and the materials in the lab were definitely in their possession; as for the residence, it didn’t appear to be notably guarded.

Of course, it might also be possible that Doctor Zhang had returned later, or it could be the effect of a special item_artifact he left there; judging from this, it’s highly likely the government office did not capture anyone.

The materials affirmed Doctor Zhang’s psychological treatment, especially at the beginning. The government office mentioned several times that the treated children’s emotions stabilized, and there seemed to be breakthroughs in intelligence, the mental states introduced later showed improvement, sometimes surpassing the existing treatment records of the government office.

This was the real reason for the government office’s inaction.

However, these materials did not mention the names of those children or their subsequent arrangements. Chi Minghong was very thorough; she visited two orphanages and from the staff there confirmed that a group of children had indeed been taken by the government office, coinciding with the timing of Doctor Zhang’s arrest.

Meaning, the children Doctor Zhang tried to cultivate in Snow City eventually ended up in the hands of the government office, now it’s unknown whether they’re being used as research subjects or as semi-finished products in training.

Half a year of surveillance by the government office, and Doctor Zhang was unaware?

Xu Huo found it hard to believe.

He even harbored an unsettling hypothesis.

Someone who cultivates a child as one would prune a flower according to personal preference, how could they let their results be stolen by others, unless they initially intended to give up, or, knowing the surveillance by the government office, still completed the training of those children but didn’t know how these kids would end up growing.

The children from Xu Huo’s batch at The Seventeenth Hospital were mostly from Zone 014, who had left only after their families had been killed.

But from Xu Huo’s perspective, the emotionally unstable and noticeably flawed kids from District 002 did not fit Doctor Zhang’s training requirements. If what the Member of the Holy Sword Society mentioned about genetic issues in District 002 people is true, then Doctor Zhang would unlikely consider these children as legitimate candidates, unless purposefully.

Just like intentionally gene-editing Luo Changren with the Evolution Potion.

Are these children still alive?

If taken over by the government office, there should be someplace for them.

Shutting down the projector, Xu Huo opened the door and called Dong Jingxuan over.

Dong Jingxuan was still applying medicine to his wounds, "What’s up?"

Xu Huo didn’t beat around the bush, closing the door, and asked directly, "Does the government office have a live human experimentation site?"

Dong Jingxuan was startled, about to speak but heard him again, "Okay, confirmed there is one, where is this site? Inside or outside Snow City?"

"How would I..." Dong Jingxuan began to respond, but Xu Huo raised his hand to stop him, "Looks like it’s inside Snow City, does it have anything to do with you big families?"

"It seems so, is the experimental site provided by your Dong Family?"

"Is it far from the Dong Family Manor?"

"Or is it right inside the Dong Family Manor?"
