Chapter 42 Space-Time Sea (1)

Zhou Yuan made a fortune.

After class at noon on July 7, the student department informed Zhou Yuan to pick up the remittance slip.Soon, word spread throughout the department: This poor man who ate steamed buns and pickles all day received 4 yuan from his family.

For two consecutive days, Zhou Yuan invited four guests to the small restaurant in the cafeteria, each time spending three or four hundred yuan.You know, before that, 400 yuan was enough for his living expenses for a month.

Zhou Yuan is a low-key person.A family that had always been poor suddenly sent so much money, and the postscript on the remittance slip said: Son, spend the 2 yuan you sent, and ask for it when it runs out.He thought, did his parents win the lottery?They were all honest people, and they probably wouldn't be able to commit murder or robbery. The only thing that worried him was that they were deceived by someone.In that small mountain village, only the village committee had a phone number. Although he wanted to find out the truth of the matter, he didn't make a phone call, so as not to spread the news further.The summer vacation will be over in a few days, and he must rush back to have a look.

During the experiment, Professor Si asked him, "I heard you got rich recently?"

Zhou Yuan scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "A remittance slip was sent from home. It must have been passed on by the students in the student department. You all know... Let me treat you, it's hard to refuse..."

Professor Si looked at him with a smile and said, "It's okay, it's a good thing. At least, you can have money to continue your studies. Don't forget to take my postgraduate exam."

Professor Si is very satisfied with this student.In the field of astrophysics, Zhou Yuan has an amazing talent.For example, he once asked: "Is there an extraterrestrial existence? Do all living things depend on conditions such as water and oxygen to exist? In the vast Milky Way, or even the vast universe beyond the Milky Way, is there such a planet—without water, oxygen, etc.? There is no oxygen, and organisms rely on other substances to survive? Can stones and soil on the earth be considered as a form of life?"

Professor Si was amazed by his imagination.It was the first time he had heard of the concept of the sky beyond the sky, and it was from a sophomore student.Imagination is a valuable asset, especially when it comes to astrophysics.Human beings' research on celestial bodies is half made by nature and half man-made. Thought is the forerunner of action. Only when you think about it can you study and explore, otherwise nothing can be discussed.

Zhou Yuan's family has indeed made a fortune.

On July 7, Zhou Yuan's father walked into the largest Wangji jewelry store in the city with his hands in his hands.The clerk said to him with some disdain: "There is no toilet here." He said: "I don't go to the toilet, I want to see the boss." Take a look at this ragged man.The boss finally appeared, took the mountain man into the inner room, and asked him directly what was the matter.

Zhou Shucai took out a cloth bag from his close-fitting pocket, layer by layer.Then, he put a fist-sized pearl in front of the boss and asked, "Do you want this?"

The curtains were drawn in the room, and the light was relatively dim.This pearl is round and smooth, exuding soft light all over its body, it is actually a rare luminous pearl!
The boss opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth, his jaw almost dropped.Judging from his many years of experience in the jewelry industry, this is a priceless ancient night pearl.He touched the bead with trembling hands, and a coolness spread to his palm instantly.Miracle!To be able to see such a treasure in my lifetime, and it was actually sent by a mountain dweller.

He asked, "How much?"

Zhou Shucai stretched out a slap hesitantly.

"500 million?" The boss wanted to know the old farmer's background and see how much he knew about the price.

Unexpectedly, this time it was Shannong's turn to be tongue-tied.He said, "Five... five million?"

Immediately afterwards, he immediately said, "Okay! I'll sell it to you."

The boss was ecstatic. He held the Ye Mingzhu and looked at it carefully for a long time.This huge ancient night pearl cannot be found on the market at all. If it is really going to be sold, it will cost more than two billion yuan. If you buy it for 500 million, it will be enough for this life, the next life, and the next life.He asked the mountain people: "Where did this come from? Is there any more?"

"There's a smaller one..."

"I want it, I want it all!"

Zhou Yuan didn't call the village, but the village called him.The village head said: "Your parents died suddenly, come back quickly."

Zhou Yuan was stunned for a moment, his whole body seemed to be drenched in a basin of ice water, cooling from the outside to the inside.

On July 7, he took the earliest flight, rented a taxi after arriving in the city, ran for more than three hours, walked the mountain road for more than 7 minutes, and finally rushed home.

There are only about thirty families in this small mountain village, and they live scattered on the mountain, and the nearest neighbor is half a mile away from his home.His parents died two days ago. Yesterday, the nearest neighbor came to his house to borrow a sieve and found Zhou Shucai and his wife dead in the main room.

Martial law has been established around the scene, and the police have done some preliminary work.In summer, the corpses are perishable, so ice cubes were brought from outside the mountain to freeze the corpses at low temperature.

Zhou Yuan looked at his parents lying in the ice.They died strangely, with blue bodies all over, protruding eyeballs, thick blood vessels and high bulges, and looked like large earthworms crawling on their bodies, which was extremely disgusting.

Zhou Yuan's eyes turned red immediately, and tears flowed out.

Qin Han, captain of the Criminal Police Brigade of the Municipal Police Department, said: "It wasn't a homicide, it wasn't a suicide, it wasn't a robbery - a pearl suspected to be a pearl of the night was found under the pillow of the deceased, and 4908 million yuan in cash was found under the bed. It seems to have some kind of disease." , and the forensic analysis believes that if it is a disease, it is unheard of and unseen.”

Police officer Zhu Biao showed Zhou Yuan the bag containing the pearls.

Zhu Biao said, "Is this something from your house?"

Zhou Yuan picked it up and looked at it carefully. It seemed to be the night pearl he had seen on TV, except that the one in his hand was a bit bigger.Although it is daytime, the beads still shine with a warm luster indoors.He shook his head: "On July 7, I received a remittance slip of 4 yuan from my family. Before that, my family didn't have any savings."

"Oh?" Qin Han said, "This is a clue."

Zhu Biao took out another plastic bag, which contained a note that said: Don't touch the pearl.

Zhu Biao asked, "Do you recognize the handwriting on it?"

Zhou Yuan only glanced at it, and said with certainty: "It was written by my father."

Strange, what did he want to remind when he wrote these words?Is it a warning to others not to take his things, or is there another meaning?Could it be that he is reminding him that the pearl is dangerous, so don't take it?Could it be that the death of the parents has something to do with the pearl?
Qin Han's cell phone rang, and after answering the call, he said to Zhu Biao with a solemn expression: "You stay here, and no one is allowed to approach here. I want to go back to the city. The owner of Wangji Jewelry Store is dead. The shape is the same as here!"

Zhou Yuan said, "Please allow me to go with you."

Qin Han said: "You still stay here, besides, you won't be able to help much if you go."

Zhou Yuan insisted, "Maybe, I can help."

Qin Han pouted: "Let's go."
