Chapter 2 The Last Fly

  Don't underestimate flies, they are a very important member of nature. —— Fabre "Insect Memories"

  One

  A-Tong knew this time he really couldn't escape. This is fate...

  They liked to call Tang Zhengfei "Tang Guoyuan" before and after dinner, because although Tang was not old, he had a good capacity for liquor, and could down a kilogram of Guoyuan without turning red or getting dizzy.

  Moreover, the wine is of high quality, without any adulteration or evasion.

  No rush, wine glasses and chopsticks are raised together, jokes and anecdotes fly around.

  Tonight is the detention center's treat. Of course, saying so is a bit improper.

  Actually, Ah Tang and his party came to conduct a pre-inspection of the civilized city creation work, Tang Director Gu Dao.

  The intestines, just leaving the cafeteria to eat. Unfortunately, it's Tianzhi Blue, can't help it, Ah Tang can only drag out the clichéd "Tianzi Lai" again.

  "Tan Kechang is indeed a young talent! I admire him!" The speaker was a middle-aged man who looked like a professor, wearing gold-rimmed glasses. Tan felt familiar with the face.

  "Oh, this is Fang Zonggong from the new technology orchard introduced by Huaiyang District last year. This is Tang Kechang from the Municipal Soft Construction Office." Tang's nose was red and he was busy with small talk.

  Ah Tong smiled humbly. This square worker's clothes were neat, but there was a black stain on the collar, which disappeared when he turned his head.

  "Come on, let's have a drink. After dinner, Tang will take us to see the prison area?" Director Jia was busy stuffing half a pack of Suyan cigarettes into his pocket. I reckon this old fellow wants to check out the women's prison, Ah Tang smiled but didn't say anything.

  "Alright, let's finish up early. The cafeteria in the detention center opens at 7 pm. We can go take a look at our logistics support." Tang was pleased with himself, and Ah Tang heard that they were applying to be one of the top ten prisons in the country.

  2.

  Huaiyang District Detention House is like a giant beast, its thick high walls and pale white searchlight beams are its dormant majesty.

  A line of people walked over the culprit's head, under tempered glass and thumb-thick steel bars, were groups of organisms suppressing sāo movement.

  The source of the commotion was not them, but a food cart that had just entered the monitoring area. One by one, medium-sized...

  Female workers, wearing uniform overalls and large masks that only expose their eyes, carry rice and soup from the vehicle into the isolation area, and then distribute them to each cell under the guidance of the police.

  Tang Zhengfei suddenly had an idea: "Where did these people come from?"

  "They are basically local farmers whose land has been requisitioned, as well as outsiders. Tang Ke is very reassuring and absolutely reliable. Our food is sampled every day for testing, absolutely safe and non-toxic. Even the prisoners are human beings after all. You see, since last year, we can even pay 1 yuan to add a dish ourselves. "Tang Ke said with certainty, pointing at a few prisoners who were busily digging into their duck eggs, seemingly more enjoyable than just drinking soup for dinner. These duck eggs seemed quite smelly, probably leftovers from summer."

  The surroundings were quiet, the rustling sound of eating made Tang Zhengfei think of the flies in the dirty public toilet in summer. Old Jia happily followed other instructors to go to area B to take a look. Fang Gong said he couldn't drink anymore and went back to rest. Ah Tang thought of Niu Bureau Chief from Xuzhou, if he didn't lose his memory, he would probably be digging up low-quality duck eggs to eat too.

  Walking to the end of District A, Tang Zheng saw a strange person sitting in a small room with a low ceiling, his waist...

  He was very straight, his face was as pale as death, and the woman wearing a mask was feeding him rice and scrambled eggs. The supervisor was watching from afar. Under the white incandescent lamp beside the soup, there were actually many flies flying around. "What's wrong with him?" Ah Tang couldn't help but ask.

  "He's Wang Zhe, the perpetrator of last year's 512 bombing case. He's already been sentenced to death and is set to be executed by the end of the month, so he's chained up every day and can only be fed through a slot. But it seems like there have been people from your city coming to visit him recently, I don't know if they're trying to appeal the case or what. He just goes to the bathroom wherever he is, who'd want to get close to him?" Tang's words struck a chord in Ah Tong's heart. The scene from last year flashed before his eyes again. That ball of flames shooting up into the sky, not only taking the lives of several officials instantly, but also his Du Qian, who was in the car, her legs pinned under the deformed seat, bleeding

  He was vague, why didn't he drive to send her that day? Why? ... Until now, Duan Qian still hasn't gotten up. Tang Zhengfei looked down at the dying person and suddenly had an illusion, as if he had already died.

  The smell is even stronger, and it doesn't quite look like a duck egg...

  (Three)

  Tang Suo and Ah Tang arrived at the monitoring room. Ah Tang was sensitive this time, he asked Tang Suo to call up the surveillance footage of the suspect from just now, and didn't even bother to drink water, carefully staring at it.

  He barely moved. The instructor left. His mouth was still mechanically chewing. Flies, it turned out that the flies were flying around him in circles. Ten minutes passed. He opened his mouth. Look, look quickly, Tang Zheng saw the most terrifying thing he had ever seen since birth.

  。。。

  A fly crawled out of his half-open mouth, no, two, three, no, a lot, black and dense, crawling along the edge of his mouth, rolling to the ground... Tang Suo also went crazy: "This is impossible, every day after 8 o'clock there is a half-hour bathing supervision cut-off time, how can this be possible? What's wrong with him?"

  "Stop messing around! Get your people to control the situation, you and I are going over there right now!"

  Article 4

  When the police rushed into Room A139, flies, many flies had already gathered around Wang Zhe's mouth and face, black, wriggling creatures, wet and slippery, some fell to the ground, others struggled to fly up. In addition to the smell of feces and rotten duck eggs in the room, there was also a stench of rotting flesh.

  Zhang Zhe's empty eyes stared at the bewildered crowd, his lips moving, Tang Zhengfei endured the strange smell and approached him, 10 seconds later he would regret this brain-damaged move.

  "You've finally arrived... Ugh..." Wang Zhe muttered, his throat twisting: "Go find C9, today I'm going to eat it all, I won't make it till tomorrow." As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zhe looked at A Tang, with a strange smile in his eyes. Suddenly, his throat convulsed violently, his mouth opened wide, and a stream of vomit splattered onto A Tang's face! A Tang wiped it off, but what was that vomit? It was all maggots and insect larvae! A Tang felt his vision go black, and then he knew nothing...

  (5)

  The case was taken over by the Ministry of Public Security's Domestic Affairs Department. Wang Zhe is dead, he didn't make it.

  The municipal bureau was gloomy and disheartened, Old Tang was also downcast, but Ah Tang unexpectedly received a commendation notice and only stayed in the hospital for observation for a few days.

  He's been abandoned by his friends, and even Zhuangzi and Ju Hua didn't come to visit him. Only Ye Rui, who had just returned from studying abroad, came to keep him company. Ye Rui was also one of Ah Tang's closest friends, inheriting the sharp observational skills of his father, Jing Cha, but he was a bit too soft-hearted, according to Ah Tang's girlfriends.

  "This matter"

  The key is to avoid the food inspection of duck eggs, I heard that non-toxic and non-adverse reaction alienation worm eggs are placed in duck eggs for gavage, but now the evidence has been sealed, our humble municipal soft construction office can't see anything." Tang Zhengfei hesitated and still didn't tell Ye Rui about C9.

  "I'm not so sure, the temporary worker has disappeared without a trace and is hard to find. But you told me that fly seemed to have a problem, right? How could an ordinary fly possibly hatch in the stomach without oxygen? That's high-tech!"

  "High-tech?..." Tang Zhengfei recalled that day, the mysterious and elusive Fang Gong, High-Tech Orchard, developing biotechnology, fruit flies... The stain on his collar, now thinking about it, seemed like a fly.

  "We're going, Old Ye. You drive, I don't have time to change clothes. We're heading to Huaiyang District's Guolin Farm!" Ah Tang threw off the quilt and jumped up.

  Article 6

  The high-tech orchard has withdrawn its investment. I heard that the funds have been withdrawn back to the Hong Kong headquarters.

  Looking at the empty factory buildings and gardens, a

  The patient who took the medicine felt somewhat despondent.

  "Come on, pretty soup, I know you're thinking about Dong Qian's things."

  "That C9, Tang told my dad about it." Ye Rui spoke slowly and calmly, lowering his head to play with the weeds by the side of the road.

  "You little scamp, really!" Ah Tun truly wanted to kick him, but also wanted to hug him.

  "Haha, don't worry, I'll help you, try my best, in my own way."

  Two snow-white but bulging hands were clasped together.

  "In the village there was a girl named Xiaofang..." The three stars in the pocket started calling again, and A Tang found it strange that they interrupted this evening's base.

  The beautiful scenery, took out a look, and sucked in a breath of cool air.

  "Come to my office - Dong Jin".

  Good heavens, this old cave, Yin and Yang are inseparable.
