Chapter 625
After analyzing the missing person cases, we discovered that all of them involved individuals aged between 18 to 25, with attractive appearances and well-proportioned figures.
These people were naturally good-looking and were all in the prime of their youths.
"There have been people disappearing up until early this year. It would be truly inhumane if all of those cases were connected and related to Genome Society. What a horrific crime this is," Zion said as he lit up a cigarette.
Steven stepped up to look at all the missing person cases on the screen. He also casually extinguished the cigarette in Zion's hand.
Zion was troubled by the cases, while Steven's action was done on my behalf I hated the smell of smoke.
Stunned, Zion ground his teeth in frustration. Such an unspoken public display of affection seemed to be at his expense.
Steven was getting too lazy to memorize things himself. He reached over to ruffle Ashton's hair. "Here, have a closer look and remember them all."
Ashton was to commit every single missing person case to his memory. He then looked at Xan and said, " You can remember them instead."
Xan had autistic tendencies, and no one could break into her world. She wouldn't be easily distracted as long as she was focused on doing something.
And she had an exceptional memory.
"She's just like a human computer!" Phil exclaimed in surprise.
Xan looked up and carefully studied every single person in the photos with intense focus.
"I managed to contact Sarah Leigh's family. He's renting a place in Tranquil Garden, claiming that he wants to look for his sister in Huma," Zion said after returning from taking a call.
I nodded in reply.
"The families of all these missing persons are all renting a place near Tranquil Garden. With close to a hundred people coming at once, it seems like a coordinated, disciplined, and purposeful action," Eason offered his analysis.
It just so happened that all of them currently had a case on hand.
"Take Sarah Leigh's brother, for example. His sister has been missing for over 40 years, yet he's just planning to look for her now. What is he thinking?" Phil complained.
"We can only be certain until after we meet him." I glanced at Zion before looking at the time. "Can we go over now?"
Zion nodded. "You can continue analyzing the case with the others, Eason. I'll bring Stephany and the others out."
Eason looked at Zion begrudgingly. "I'm your superior. Are you trying to teach me how to do my job?" "Oh, well..." Zion smiled. He then ignored Eason and led us away.
Xan stood in front of the screen. Her gaze landed on the young man who recently disappeared. "Being good -looking and having a gentle personality are among the criteria of selecting experimental subjects."
She rarely spoke, but her sudden words brought a chill down everyone's spine.
Did that mean that Genome Society was also conducting other experiments besides cloning and genetic experiments?
"These people would be valuable and useful." Xan turned around and looked at me. "Do you know about lab dogs and white mice, Mom?"
I nodded nervously. "Some animals are gentle in nature and have internal organs and systems that are similar to humans. That's why many pharmaceutical companies use dogs, monkeys, apes, white mice, and other animals for drug testing, studying drug resistance, and other experiments."
Although cruel, these animals had made significant contributions to the advancement of human medicine. "They only use animals for experiments under legal and ethical constraints. But animals... aren't the best experimental subjects," Xan mumbled.
It was true that animals weren't the best experimental subjects. Many medications and medical experiments could not be replicated on animal bodies. Only by using human bodies could the experiments' values be shown.
Eason said, "Back in the warring period, the Rhordian invaders used our people for monstrous and inhumane human experiments. Rhorda's medical technology advanced at least a century by conducting vivisections.
"Their medical advancements were built on the flesh and blood of our people. That's why their frostbite ointment is so effective." His voice trembled as he spoke from his seat.
Such hatred was engraved in our genes and should never be forgotten.
Now, Genome Society seemed to be also conducting similar inhumane activities that crossed the moral and legal boundaries.
