Chapter 82 My Dad Dares to Eat Shit
"Holy crap! I remember now! It must be him again!"
The scream from the young police officer, Xiao Li, pierced the deathly silence, instantly causing a commotion in the Technical Appraisal Center laboratory.
Everyone present, including Criminal Investigation Division Captain Chen Jianjun, who hadn't closed his eyes in two days and was mentally numb, suddenly turned their gazes toward him.
"Xiao Li! What are you screaming about! What did you remember?" Captain Chen asked, his brow furrowed and his voice hoarse.
Xiao Li pointed at the black dragon knight no. 1, then at his own phone. Because of his extreme shock and excitement, his expression was somewhat twisted, and he stammered: "Captain... Captain Chen! This car! This car and the Swarm Drone that was requisitioned by the military before, they should both be... be from a... Streamer! His factory is called the Li Family Toy Factory!"
"Swarm Drone?"
"Li Family Toy Factory?"
At the mention of these two terms, most of the Experts present felt a wave of confusion. They were authorities in their respective fields, but they usually didn't pay attention to such gossip news on the internet.
Chen Jianjun, however, felt his heart jump. As the Criminal Investigation Division Captain of the Municipal Bureau, he certainly knew about the Swarm Drone incident that had caused such a stir a while ago and eventually even led to the military stepping in to requisition it.
The level of that incident was very high, and the subsequent handling was extremely confidential. He only knew that the technology came from a private enterprise in Baishui City, but he didn't know exactly which one.
He never expected that this phantom car, which had been leading the city's traffic police in circles, would actually come from the same source as that major event that had alarmed higher-ups!
"Are you sure?" Chen Jianjun's eyes instantly became sharp.
"I'm sure!" Xiao Li nodded heavily. He quickly took out his phone, wanting to search for the recording of that original livestream to serve as evidence for his superiors.
He opened a video website and typed the keywords "Li Family Toy Factory, dragon knight no. 1" into the search box.
However, before he could find that original video, a video that had just been released but was already exploding in popularity, with its title bolded and in red, popped up at the very top of the search results.
Video title: 《Regarding the Optical Stealth Car and the Bear Kid's Online Dating Meetup Car》
Publisher ID: Dr. Wei
'Dr. Wei?' Xiao Li paused. He was very familiar with this ID. This was the science popularization Streamer from a few days ago who had sworn that dragon knight no. 1 was a special effect and had even made a poisonous vow to livestream himself eating poop.
'This guy...?' A thought flashed through Xiao Li's mind.
Chen Jianjun also leaned over. Looking at the title, his brow furrowed even deeper. He had been handling cases for a lifetime and had seen all sorts of scenes, but this situation had completely exceeded the scope of his cognition.
"Click on it and take a look," he commanded in a deep voice.
Xiao Li swallowed his saliva and clicked on the video.
...
At the beginning of the video, Dr. Wei was wearing a neat white lab coat, sitting in his science studio. The background was still that whiteboard filled with various formulas. His expression was serious, and his eyes were filled with professional light.
"Hello everyone, I am Dr. Wei. Regarding the dragon knight no. 1 stealth car incident that has been hotly discussed across the internet these past few days, as a science popularization worker, I have conducted an in-depth technical analysis based on a rigorous and realistic attitude."
In the first half of the video, Dr. Wei's analysis was clear and logical. He performed a frame-by-frame comparison of the video of dragon knight no. 1 appearing and disappearing on the highway with the livestream recording where Li Jiajun had previously showcased the Swarm Drone.
"By comparing the unique cartoon bear logo that appeared in both videos, as well as the Streamer himself, we can be one hundred percent sure that this phantom car that triggered a city-wide manhunt, and the Swarm Drone that was previously confirmed and requisitioned by the military, were both produced by the same Factory Director Li."
Seeing this, the police and Experts present were all invigorated.
'Good guy, that saved us the effort of comparing it ourselves,' Chen Jianjun thought speechlessly. 'This Streamer is actually quite professional.'
However, the subsequent direction of the video was something no one expected.
Dr. Wei continued in the video: "So, the key to the problem now becomes, since the Swarm Drone is a real piece of black technology, then this even more unbelievable stealth car from the same person, is it just a special effect created by this Factory Director Li to be mysterious, or is it..."
He paused here.
It was also at this moment that several eye-catching bullet comments suddenly floated across the video screen.
"High energy warning ahead! Friends who are eating or drinking please put down your bowls and chopsticks immediately!"
"The big one is coming! Non-combat personnel please evacuate immediately!"
In the laboratory, except for Xiao Li, the other police and Experts were confused by this internet slang and didn't understand what it meant.
Only Xiao Li, seeing these bullet comments, felt his heart jump violently, and an extremely ominous premonition welled up.
In the video, Dr. Wei's professional face was expressionless, then suddenly collapsed. He took off his glasses, rubbed his temples, and showed a smile that was uglier than crying. He said to the camera with a tragic tone: "Or is it... that I, Dr. Wei, a science popularization Streamer with two million followers, and also a staunch materialist, misjudged the technology of this car from the very beginning."
"I once made a poisonous vow that if that car wasn't a special effect, I would livestream myself eating poop."
"A gentleman's word is his bond. Today, I am fulfilling my promise."
As soon as he finished speaking, he slowly took out a plate from under the table.
On the plate was a lump of indescribable, crudely shaped matter, emitting a suffocating aura that even the screen couldn't block.
"Ugh..."
In the laboratory, several young technicians had already begun to dry heave.
Chen Jianjun's mouth also twitched violently. He felt his stomach churning, so he quickly turned his head, not daring to look again.
He had been handling cases for thirty years, had seen bloody crime scenes, and had faced rotting corpses, all without changing his expression while eating two steamed buns.
But today, he felt that his thirty-year career and iron-clad stomach were facing an unprecedented challenge.
In the video, Dr. Wei closed his eyes, like a martyr heading to the execution ground. With trembling hands, he picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful, and then resolutely put it into his own mouth.
Chewing, swallowing.
0.5 seconds later.
"Ugh—wa—!!"
Dr. Wei lunged at the trash can next to him, emitting a heart-wrenching retching sound.
The entire livestream screen shook violently, and finally, accompanied by a loud bang of something falling to the ground, the video cut off abruptly, and the screen went black—
Of course, if time could be pulled back, and if someone were standing in front of Dr. Wei, they would have seen a successful smile on Dr. Wei's face. He wasn't stupid; how could he really eat poop? He was just using something shaped like poop made of chocolate. But when he looked up and saw his girlfriend holding what looked like poop—but was actually chocolate—taken out of the refrigerator, and then looked at the golden retriever looking at him with confusion, he really started vomiting. Damn it, his girlfriend ate the chocolate, so what did he eat? No wonder the taste was wrong!
Returning to the present.
Inside the A-level laboratory, there was silence.
Everyone stared blankly at the pitch-black screen, their minds blank. The faces of several young police officers had turned pale, and they were holding back to avoid throwing up.
After a long time, Chen Jianjun finally came back to his senses. His face was green. Looking at Xiao Li's phone, which was still emitting a smell, he felt his worldview had been shattered.
'Do young people nowadays... play this hard?' A thought flashed through his mind.
He suppressed the discomfort in his stomach, turned his head, and gave an order to Xiao Li, whose face was also sallow, in a complex tone:
"Alright... turn off the video."
"Now, both human and material evidence are present."
He paused, looked at Dr. Wei's tragic face on the screen, and finally squeezed a comment out through his teeth:
"This guy... can be considered a ruthless person."
If he had a son in the future, and his son was comparing dads with others in kindergarten, he could totally say, "My dad dares to eat poop, does your dad dare?"
