Chapter 984 Looking for the target
The disappearance of B-29's design drawings and all research materials, along with the personnel who carried and protected it, shocked the Joker's leadership.
In addition, the theft of research data from several arms companies, including Rogheid Martin, drew great attention from FOBOLE. Director Huf immediately ordered a crack team to investigate all the cases.
After several days of investigation, investigators concluded that the theft of these weapons research materials and design drawings was a well-planned and premeditated operation.
Although the perpetrator is unknown, investigators are almost certain that the perpetrator was a professional agent, as ordinary thieves do not possess such specialized capabilities.
While investigators were searching the world for the thief, Zhang Yunhe had already arrived in New Mexico.
Los Alamos Laboratory.
Zhang Yunhe, dressed in a suit and disguised as a middle-aged white salesman, bought a pack of cigarettes at a store next to the laboratory entrance.
While buying cigarettes, Zhang Yunhe asked the shop owner about some information about the laboratory.
After chatting with the boss, Zhang Yunhe learned that the laboratory was built starting in the first half of the year, and the construction speed was very fast, with the main building completed in just three months.
The interior decoration and cable laying took only one month.
The shop owner's account was similar to what Zhang Yunhe had learned: the laboratory was specifically built by the Joker for the nuclear research program, and the person in charge was Julius, who was also the core of the entire nuclear research program.
Zhang Yunhe did not linger in the store for too long, as staying too long or asking too many questions might arouse the store owner's suspicion.
After leaving the store, he did not leave or go far, but instead used his Ironblood equipment to stealthily infiltrate the laboratory.
He had to find a breakthrough among the researchers in the lab, or find someone to act as his informant within the lab.
Julius, the person in charge, certainly couldn't act as his informant. The Joker's higher-ups were too protective of him. Finding someone who could both have close access to core research and be easily bribed was not easy.
That's why Zhang Yunhe needed to sneak into the laboratory to review the files of all the personnel who came here to participate in the research project.
According to the shop owner, the laboratory has been in operation for less than two months, during which time researchers from all over the world have been coming to participate in the research.
At the beginning, the laboratory had only 6 physicists and 100 engineers and technicians. Now, the number of scientists has increased to more than 30, the number of engineers and technicians to more than 300, and the number of military personnel to more than 200, and the number of personnel is still increasing.
Inside one of the laboratory's office buildings, Zhang Yunhe found the personnel archives room.
The pristine white walls, smooth floors, and the still-smelling paint from the filing cabinets, desks, and chairs all indicate that this place has only recently been put into use.
A middle-aged white woman wearing glasses, who worked in the personnel archives room, was asleep on her desk. Zhang Yunhe added something to her water cup, and she slept very soundly.
Zhang Yunhe gently closed the door of the personnel archives room, turned around and walked towards the rows of personnel file cabinets. The files were divided into three areas: the first area contained the personal information of scientists; the second area contained the files of engineering and technical personnel; and the third area contained the files of military personnel.
Zhang Yunhe automatically excluded the personnel files from the second and third areas. Engineering and technical personnel were all doing odd jobs and had no access to the core of nuclear research and testing. Military personnel were mainly responsible for secrecy and security. Only scientists could truly access and participate in research and testing.
The first section of the filing cabinet contained 36 files, showing that the shop owner outside was also a thoughtful person.
Zhang Yunhe opened and looked through the scientists' files one by one, analyzing what kind of people these scientists were based on their past studies, lives, family members, and social relationships.
Zhang Yunhe worked on this task for a full two hours, and fortunately, no one else came here during that time.
After reviewing all 36 files, Zhang Yunhe already had a goal in mind.
The first target was a scientist named Lawrence. He had nine family members, making ten including himself. His parents were old and unable to work, his wife had a chronic illness and needed to take medication long-term, and he had six children, the oldest of whom was 20 years old, unemployed, and causing trouble everywhere, while the other children were still in school.
Although Lawrence's income as a scientist was not low, it couldn't keep up with the high household expenses, so he had to take on jobs such as translating academic papers to supplement his income.
The second target was a scientist named Holly, who had a hobby of gambling. He often went to various casinos after get off work, and the casino owners treated him like a plague because he was not only proficient in physics but also a mathematician. He was good at calculations and often used probability to dominate the gambling table, usually winning more and losing less. Since he did not cheat, the casinos could not do anything about him.
The third target was a scientist named Fermi, who was not only highly knowledgeable but also a womanizer. He was unmarried but had at least three girlfriends at the same time, and all of them were married women.
Besides being good at making women happy, Fermi is not only handsome, but also willing to spend money on his girlfriends. His income is actually not low, and can be said to be higher than most people, but he spends most of his money on his girlfriends and often has to borrow money from his colleagues.
After leaving the lab, Zhang Yunhe first investigated Fermi's situation and discovered that one of his three girlfriends was the wife of a local gang leader.
"Hey, this is interesting. I didn't expect Fermi to be so bold as to steal someone from a mob boss. If that mob boss finds out, the consequences will be unpredictable!"
For the next two days, Zhang Yunhe kept a close eye on Fermi. Every day after get off work, he would follow Fermi and keep an eye on his every move.
Zhang Yunhe discovered that Fermi was not only a scientist, but also a master of time management. Every day after get off work at 5:30 pm, this guy would happily play with different girlfriends at different times.
Of course, Zhang Yunhe took pictures of Fermi playing with his girlfriends during these days.
That afternoon, Zhang Yunhe sat in his car waiting outside the laboratory. Of course, he didn't approach the laboratory door. After all, this wasn't a noisy area, and there were very few residents and factories around. Getting too close to the laboratory would easily arouse the guards' suspicion.
