Chapter 494 Reasoning Notes 10: Mermaid Tears (36)
It sounded a bit convoluted, but Ji Hongwei could tell that Bai Chun and Mr. Wang should be good people.Thinking of this, his uneasy mood gradually calmed down, and he was no longer panicked.

"You..." Ji Hongwei wanted to ask many questions, but he didn't know how to say them.It was still Bai Chun who was reasonable, and explained that he had been tracking down the shadow monster and Mermaid's Tears before, and since Cai Dong was killed last time, Mermaid's Tears disappeared.So, with a glimmer of hope, he posted on Weibo, hoping to get the necklace back.

"Mr. Ji, can you tell me. How did you get this necklace?" Bai Chun asked, with a smile that was lost and found across his face, and then he took another look at Ji Hongwei.

"Oh, I picked it up." Ji Hongwei told the truth, but this kind of rhetoric is a bit unbelievable.

Wang Zegang frowned and said, "You picked it up? Is it possible?"

Looking at Wang Zegang's questioning eyes, Ji Hongwei felt uncomfortable. "Mr. Wang, what do you mean..."

He could clearly see that the other party was doubting himself.

It's no wonder, as Wang Zegang said, the person who took the Mermaid's Tears was most likely the one who killed Cai Dong.And Mermaid's Tears is in his hand, doesn't this mean that he is the suspect who killed Cai Dong?
"I didn't kill it!" Ji Hongwei tried his best to defend himself, he didn't want to take the blame of the murderer.

"Unless you can reasonably explain how this Mermaid Tears Necklace came about. Otherwise, it will be difficult to remove your suspicion." Wang Zegang said, every sentence makes sense.Ji Hongwei lost his temper for a moment, and he couldn't help suspecting that these two people who claimed to be famous detectives didn't come to buy Mermaid Tears, but came to find the murderer.And has he been defined as a murder suspect?

At this time, Ji Hongwei had the heart to retreat.However, what Bai Chun said next dispelled his thoughts.

"No. Mr. Ji is not the murderer." Bai Chun said, "I have investigated, and you were at work when Cai Dong died. Right."

"That's right!" Thinking of this, Ji Hongwei gained confidence all of a sudden.

That's right, according to what was said on TV, Cai Dong was killed at two o'clock in the afternoon when he was at work. His colleagues can testify to this.However, the location of the Handong Group building was more than an hour away from his work place, so he had no time to commit the crime at all.

"Maybe, as said, you picked up this Mermaid's Tears." Bai Chun seemed to believe his words.

Ji Hongwei nodded quickly: "I'm not lying."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Bai." Wang Zegang still looked a little distrustful of him, and said, "Can this kind of thing be picked up on the ground casually?!"

Bai Chun said: "We have no way of speculating on this. Maybe the murderer lost it during his escape, or something happened to the murderer. In short, I believe that Mr. Ji is innocent."

Hearing that Bai Chun trusted him so much, Ji Hongwei was moved in his heart.

The most rare thing in this world is trust.

"And." Bai Chun said again: "Our trip is not to find the murderer, but to buy Mermaid Tears."

"Okay. I see. Mr. Bai."

After receiving such a lesson from Bai Chun, Wang Zegang became silent.

Now that the topic has returned to the transaction, Ji Hongwei is relieved.That's what he came here for.He needs medical bills to help his daughter with surgery.

At this time, Bai Chun raised his eyelids, stared at him with burning eyes, his thin lips were slightly raised, and a smile curved up: "Mr. Knowing how to use hands and feet. What's more, this is in public."

Ji Hongwei looked around the western restaurant.At this time, the people in the restaurant said that there were not many, and that there were not many. If these two people wanted to cheat, he only needed to yell, and they should get help from others.Therefore, Ji Hongwei took out the wooden box with confidence and put it on the table.

Bai Chun solemnly put on his white gloves, like an archaeologist handling a precious historical relic, carefully opened the box, put the Mermaid's Tears in the palm of his hand, then picked up the magnifying glass and observed it carefully .

His expression is very serious and serious, his face is meticulous.And Ji Hongwei nervously waited for his conclusion.

Is this jewel necklace real or fake?

In this way, Bai Chun observed for nearly 10 minutes.The surrounding air seemed to be stagnant, and the surroundings seemed to be frozen. Finally, Bai Chun put the Mermaid's Tears back into the wooden box, and solemnly locked the lid.

"Mr. Bai, is this real mermaid tears?" Wang Zegang asked immediately.

This is also the answer Ji Hongwei wants to know.Fortunately, he saw Bai Chun nodded.

"That's right, it's the cursed sapphire." While confirming, the other party added a curse word.

This shocked Ji Hongwei.He asked with trepidation, "Is there really a curse on this mermaid tear?"

"This, it's hard to say." Bai Chun didn't give an affirmative or negative answer, but just told him that the owners of Mermaid Tears all died strangely one after another. "However, cursing is purely a feudal superstition and should not be fully believed."

Having said that, Ji Hongwei still felt a little apprehensive.Because of its priceless value, this mermaid tear is bound to be coveted by the bad guys, maybe this is its curse.

If it can be sold, it is better to sell it as soon as possible.Ji Hongwei just wanted to get rid of this ominous thing quickly, so he asked Bai Chun: "Mr. Bai, do you want to buy this gem?"

Bai Chun understood his urgency, and asked with a smile: "Then how much are you going to sell?"

Ji Hongwei cautiously reported a number: "One... 100 million. Is it okay?"

"100 million?" Wang Zegang's eyes widened.

But Ji Hongwei thought that the other party was too expensive, so he said embarrassingly: "I'm sorry, it really can't be lower."

This 100 million is necessary to treat her daughter.Moreover, the usury owed before must be repaid.Ji Hongwei didn't want to make more concessions, but the other party didn't think the price he set was too high, but rather too low.Bai Chun looked at him seriously, and asked: "Mr. Ji, you should know that this mermaid tear was sold for a high price of [-] million US dollars at the auction in Dubai."

"I know this." Ji Hongwei checked the information before and knew the value of Mermaid Tears clearly.

"Then why do you..." Bai Chun showed a slightly surprised expression.

Ji Hongwei said that this mermaid tear itself is not his property.If he hadn't been in a hurry to use the money, he would have given it to the police.He sold it today because he wanted a sum of money to treat his daughter.

For this money, 100 million is enough, not too much.

His words are touching.Bai Chun and Wang Zegang looked at each other, and then said: "Mr. Ji, you are a kind person. The curse of mermaid tears will only be fulfilled on those greedy people. Don't worry, I will pay the money right away."

After all, he took out his laptop, asked Ji Hongwei for his bank card, and then used online banking to transfer 100 million.It didn't take long for Ji Hongwei to receive a text message notification from the bank.The 100 million has already been transferred to his bank card.

The transaction has been completed.

"Thank you, Mr. Bai." Ji Hongwei's heart warmed, and he glanced gratefully at Bai Chun, his clenched hands trembling slightly with excitement.

He worked so hard just to cure his daughter's illness, and now his wish can finally come true.Holding the bank card, Ji Hongwei lowered his head slightly while holding the bank card, his shoulders began to shake slightly, and he shed a tear excitedly.

Others may not understand why a man in his 40s would sob softly in public.The so-called man does not flick his tears lightly, but it is not yet the time to be sad.What is shown here is the love of a father for his daughter.

"Xiaorou. Dad is rich, so he can help you arrange hospitalization."

After returning home, Ji Hongwei said impatiently as soon as he opened the door.

But when he looked over, Ji Xiaorou sat motionless on the chair, looking at Ji Hongwei with hazy eyes, the knife on her neck made her unable to move.

Under the light, there was a faint cold light on the knife.

Behind Ji Xiaorou, stood a tall black figure. The angle just avoided the light, making it impossible to see its appearance.

A gust of wind blew, lifted the curtains, and floated in the room.

Inside the house, there was silence, and Ji Hongwei's breathing and heartbeat continued to increase.

Xiaorou is in danger!Ji Hongwei wanted to rush over, but the black shadow's cold voice came out like the shadow of a sword: "Don't come here. Unless you want your daughter to die."

At that moment, Ji Hongwei's footsteps were nailed to the floor as if nailed to a coffin, unable to move at all.

He knew the identity of that shadow.It is Earl.

It's just that he couldn't see its face clearly, and he didn't know its identity.It appeared on the street that night, and it only showed people with a weird voice.It sat by the window, like a black shadow hiding behind Xiao Rou.If it wasn't the Earl, Ji Hongwei would almost have thought it was the mysterious Phantom Thief Shadow Stranger.

"You...what do you want to do? Don't hurt my daughter! Please, don't!" Ji Hongwei pleaded, kneeling on his knees, for the sake of his daughter, he could even abandon his dignity.

The count laughed softly, and the laughter made him sound like a complete devil.

What exactly does it intend to do?
Ji Hongwei said: "I have sold Mermaid Tears to that man named Bai Chun as you ordered."

oh.It turns out that this transaction was arranged by the Earl.But Ji Hongwei didn't know the Earl's purpose in doing so, and he would not seek answers.Because he only wanted to save his daughter, he didn't want to get involved in other things.
