Paranormal incident investigation notes

After Zhang Dingshan raised this question, the conference room fell silent for a moment.

It is difficult to think about this. After all, under the premise that Organization Get data from the database.

But this method has now been blocked.

After the early data leakage, theoretically Organization

But with the beginning of large-scale sociological experiments, this was also sealed. Because all known people who may possess the gene have been gathered here for isolation and protection.

In this situation, what would I do if I were a member of Organization X? How can I continue to complete the "target" and continue to find humans with this gene?

Faced with this problem, Lu Ming began to try to change his perspective and put himself on the side of Organization X to think.

But his thinking did not lead to any results. Including He Wei and Lu Qingliang.

Several people held many discussions and proposed ideas from various aspects, but in the end they were all rejected by simple logic. In the end, this discussion came to nothing and could only be ended temporarily.

In the evening, Lu Ming took out the skewers brought by He Wei, cooked them on the induction cooker, and invited several people to eat together. He Wei showed strong interest in this, while Zhang Dingshan and Lu Qingliang shook their heads in rejection.

"It's too greasy, I can't bear to eat it."

Lu Qingliang said: "Indulging in body shape is a crime against oneself."

He Wei expressed contempt for this: "You, a grown man, pay more attention to me all day long than I, a woman."

Lu Qingliang snorted: "I am responsible for myself."

"Lu Ming, ignore them, let's eat."

Zhang Dingshan and Lu Qingliang went to the cafeteria to get some light food, while Lu Ming and He Wei started eating.

In the dining room, several people chatted casually, sometimes talking about daily life matters, sometimes talking about current cases.

When the case was discussed, Lu Ming could sometimes intervene. When talking about daily life, Lu Ming felt like he had nothing to say.

It wasn't that the other three rejected him. But Lu Ming felt that he... seemed to have no life anymore.

This made him feel depressed again.

"Is there any wine here? I'll have some. Do you want some?"

Sensing Lu Ming's depressed mood and realizing that he might have touched something unintentionally, the three of them shook their heads in unison. Zhang Dingshan got the wine, put it down, patted Lu Ming on the shoulder, and then the three of them left on their own.

The temperature difference in the desert is huge. It's still very hot during the day, but there's a slight chill at night. But in this makeshift room, the fiery red pot bottom was boiling and steaming, and the delicious and spicy atmosphere filled it, making Lu Ming not feel the cold at all.

Looking at the dark earth outside the window and the moon hanging in the sky, Lu Ming poured himself a drink.

He knew that his parents and sister were less than two kilometers away from him. Sometimes he would desperately want to rush out to meet his parents, but the remaining shred of reason would always pin him to his seat again.

We still need to get to the bottom of this case. We still have to completely eliminate the threat before we can go back.

Don't bring danger to your parents and relatives. After all, no matter whether they still have a life or not, they always still have a life.

But, but, where is the mysterious organization hiding behind the scenes, and what methods are it using to commit crimes continuously on this planet belonging to humans? What...

After drinking a glass of wine, Lu Ming suddenly froze.

Perhaps because of the stimulation of alcohol, he suddenly thought of a possibility.

He didn't figure out how to find out the hiding place and new modus operandi of this mysterious organization, which he temporarily called Organization X. He just suddenly thought that maybe he could try something from another direction.

Just some attempts.

After receiving Lu Ming's message, Zhang Dingshan and the others left and returned.

At this moment, the room was filled with the smell of hot pot and wine, and Lu Ming had already drank until his face was slightly red.

"Gene traceability."

Upon hearing these four words proposed by Lu Ming, the three of them were startled at the same time.

"I want to know what is so special about the Hag.1 gene. It might be helpful to check the origin of this gene."

A team of scientists led by Professor Shi Guofu has been conducting scientific analysis on this gene, but all information shows that this is just an ordinary gene. If this is the case, then simply try it through other means.

"Lu Ming, what do you mean, just like the Y-chromosome Adam or the mitochondrial Eve, we can trace the origin of the Hag.1 gene and find our most recent common ancestor?"

The so-called Y chromosome Adam is the most recent common ancestor on the paternal line of all living men in the world. In other words, all men in the world today are descended from this ancestor.

This does not mean, of course, that there was only one man with a Y chromosome, Adam, in the world at that time. Rather, only his genes have been passed down and reproduced to this day.

According to genetic research, Y-chromosome Adam probably existed between 60,000 and 90,000 years ago and was a man living on the African continent.

Mitochondrial Eve is the most recent common maternal ancestor of all living humans. It lived about 140,000 years ago, also in Africa.

"Yes. I want to know when the Hag.1 gene was passed down and who passed it down. If the age and region of the first generation owner of this gene can be more accurately located, then, through some local historical records, Maybe we can find some clues.”

This idea cannot but be said to be extremely bold and imaginative, and at the same time... it is also slightly unreliable.

Like a blind cat trying to kill a mouse.

"Since there is no other way now, why not give it a try, maybe it will work?"

Facing the slightly surprised looks of the three people, Lu Ming shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands.

Lu Qingliang praised: "As expected, he is a writer, and the things he thinks in his head are different from those of us ordinary people."

Zhang Dingshan remained silent, but after a moment of thinking, He Wei's eyes suddenly lit up.

"I thought of a possibility!"

She looked extremely excited, as if she had made some extraordinary discovery: "Do you think it is possible that X Organization's new method of screening people with this gene is through genetic tracing?"

"Oh? Is there any relationship between the two?"

"Lu Qingliang, are you wasting all your life on your appearance and your head is full of mush? Use your brain!"

He Wei seemed to have finally seized the opportunity to attack Lu Qingliang and mocked him fiercely. Ignoring Lu Qingliang's slightly blushing face, he continued quickly: "Let's use an analogy, just an analogy. If, let's say if, if Organization Furthermore, if their traceability result is that the ancestor of the Hag.1 gene lived in an era not far away from us, or even in an era with historical records, then through the study of historical materials of the era and region where the ancestor lived, combined with the family tree , genealogy, local chronicles, big data and other tools, or supplemented by other genetic data, can the identity of his descendants be roughly delineated? Then further screening is carried out among these key groups to select those with Hag. Doesn’t the probability of people with 1 gene increase?”

It is just for further screening of key groups. The amount of work should not be large and it does not fall into the category of large-scale genetic testing. Based on the current understanding of Organization X, they should have this strength.

Lu Ming looked at He Wei in surprise: "I didn't expect this before..."

Zhang Dingshan frowned slightly: "Theoretically, this possibility exists. However, there are too many assumptions, and the real probability should be low. However, we have to make some related attempts anyway, so we can check it out. "

Zhang Dingshan finalized the next work content in a few words. After that, the three people left quickly and started working immediately - anyway, all the people known to possess the gene have been summoned here in the name of sociological experiments. It is very convenient to collect biological samples for data analysis.

The room that had been lively for a while became deserted again. Lu Ming was stunned for a while, shook his head with a wry smile, and picked up the wine glass again.

The relevant biological test materials were quickly collected and sent to Professor Shi Guofu's research institute as a rush. Relevant results were quickly fed back.

In the conference room, Zhang Dingshan took out a stack of materials.

"The gene traceability work is going very smoothly. Professor Shi Guofu's research shows that the Hag.1 gene can only be inherited from the father's line, that is, the gene can be passed from father to daughter, but the daughter can no longer pass it on to offspring. This shows that the gene The first-generation owner was a male. He lived not too far away from now, only about 450 to 650 years ago. The place where he lived was probably at the southern foot of the Taihang Mountains."

Based on this number, this "ancestor" probably lived between 1390 and 1590 AD. At that time, the area at the southern foot of the Taihang Mountains was still under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and the time range covered the period from Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang to Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun.

He Wei slammed the table: "It's not that far away after all! It can even be said to be very close!"

The closer the time is, the richer the inheritance of historical materials will be. Based on this, the probability of successful delineation of related offspring will be higher.

"You can't be wrong! The new method of Organization X must be this!"

At this moment, Lu Ming was slightly in a trance. It's like history has entered the modern era.

Lu Qingliang looked at Lu Ming slightly strangely.

"Lu Ming, didn't you expect that? Those thousands of people outside have the same ancestor as you. You are all real relatives."

Lu Ming smiled bitterly: "If we push forward a little further in time, all of us on the earth are relatives."
