The man spoke a language I had never heard before.There are always clues to be found in the several major systems of language, but the language that the man speaks belongs to that language system, but I can't recognize it. The man went on to say a lot of words, I can only hear that it is a very simple language with many monophonic consonants and accent consonants, I believe that if I get along with the two of them for three months In half a year, you will probably be able to talk to them. But in front of my eyes, what they were saying, I couldn't understand at all. After I tried to understand their words and failed, I turned around and said to Zhang Hailong: "Mr. Zhang, why did you bring me here to see it?"

Zhang Hailong looked very serious, and said: "Mr. Wei, you are also a smart person, you should understand. Look, how strange is everything here?" I feel the same in my heart, because everything here is indeed extremely strange. Zhang Hailong continued: "I believe that the experiment conducted by Xiaolong here must be something that has never been tried before in the world, but you must figure out what it is." He paused for a while, paced back and forth, and said, "Also, where did he go, and I hope you can find out that although he is a person who is very focused on science, he is by no means a person who has not been with his family for three years." The person who communicated. I think that he may have suffered misfortune. But even if he dies, I must have a... definite... result!"

Zhang Hailong is a very strong old man, but when he said the last few words, his hands were trembling slightly, and his voice was also trembling── I originally wanted to reject Zhang Hailong's request.Because I'm by no means a good detective. But seeing that Zhang Hailong put all his hopes on me, I couldn't bear to refuse him.I just said: "I am willing to give it a try." Zhang Hailong held my hand and said, "It's not about giving it a try, but I want you to do it!" I looked around this basement again, and I really didn't have a clue in my mind. After staying for a while, I said: "Mr. Zhang, I can agree to your request, but I have to ask you a lot of questions, and you have to give me the key to this basement."

Zhang Hailong nodded and said: "Yes." I said: "Then, does your son live in this basement?" Zhang Hailong said: "I suspect he didn't sleep, because every few days, when he comes out of this basement, he is always exhausted and falls asleep. As for No one knows what he's doing!" I went to the laboratory table and took a closer look. The test tubes were not all empty, but some test tubes contained dried up medicine. An alcohol lamp had burned out the alcohol, and even the wick was burnt. A good scientist would not be so indiscreet. From this point of view, I can at least be sure of one thing: Zhang Xiaolong must have been in a hurry when he left, and he didn't even turn off the alcohol lamp.After he left, he never came back, that's why this happened.

I also saw that at the other end of the experimental table, there were several thick file folders, which were full of papers. I naturally knew that they were the records of Zhang Xiaolong's experiments. I reached out to get the two folders, but as soon as I reached out, I immediately heard two weird roars, and Zhang Hailong shouting loudly! I immediately saw that there were two people rushing towards me from behind me!I hurriedly turned around, and saw the two short Indians, like two mongooses jumping on a rattlesnake, attacking me, each holding a sharp spear in their hands! The weapon in this kind of person's hands is naturally highly poisonous. I don't know why they suddenly attacked me, but I know that I must not be stabbed by the sharp spear in their hand.

Moreover, in my future work, there are still many places where these two Indians of unknown origin will be used, so I will take this opportunity to subdue them. At that moment, when I turned around, the two of them had already jumped in front of me, only five or six feet away, but I still stood still until the sharp spears in the hands of the two of them pointed at my chest. When I stabbed out, I took a stride and swept backwards. When I swept backwards, my feet stopped at the same time, and I jumped up. So, in an instant, I flew over the heads of the two Indians. The two pointed spears of the two Indians hit the experimental platform with two "boots". I jumped over their heads and immediately sank down. When they were still at a loss, Stretching out his hands, they have already held down their vests!

The two Indians were pressed on the experimental table by me, unable to move at all, they just screamed strangely. Zhang Hailong came up and said: "Mr. Wei, I only know that these two people are very loyal, even if I touch something on that table, they will get angry." Only then did I know the reason why those two people attacked me, I let go of my hand and stepped back. The two Indians turned around and stared at me viciously.I made a South American native, peace sign to them.Those two people actually understood and made the same gesture. I smiled at them, and slowly said: "Zhang──Xiao──Long."

The two Indians were taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Zhang──Xiao──Long──" They spoke very bluntly, but they could clearly hear that they were calling the name "Zhang Xiaolong" , it can be seen that Zhang Xiaolong's name is familiar to them. I called the name of "Zhang Xiaolong" several times, and then kept making peace gestures, and the two Indians showed doubts on their faces. I looked around and saw a chair, I walked over, lifted the chair up, put it on my lap and smashed it, and the chair fell apart with a "wow". I lifted another chair leg and rubbed my hands together, and the chair leg turned into pieces of wood!

Those two Indians shouted loudly: "Tewuhua! Tewuhua!" I don't know what the word "Tewuhua" in their mouths means.But I saw them yelling, throwing their bodies to the ground and worshiping me, I don't know what to do to stop them. The two worshiped for a while, stood up, put away the spear, and handed the stack of folders to my hand.I took the folder and asked back, "Where did the food for the two of them come from?" Zhang Hailong said: "I don't know. At night, they often come out and run around the mountains. It's probably because they are looking for food. My driver has met them a few times, and his face is pale with fright!"

By now, at least one thing has become clear: that is why the driver is afraid. But I don't know how many things are not clear! I thought for a while, and said: "We can leave here now, I believe that from this pile of documents, we will be able to research some clues?" Zhang Hailong said: "I hope so." The two of us exited the basement together, and the two Indians immediately closed the door from inside.We went up the stone steps again.Along the way, I couldn't wait to flip through the documents in the folder, but they were formulas and charts that we didn't know much about.

In the living room, Zhang Xiaojuan was still sitting angrily, without even looking at me, she just said to her father: "Dad, you are satisfied, because someone knows our scandal again." Zhang Hailong's complexion sank, and he shouted: "Ajuan, go back to the city!" Zhang Xiaojuan stood up abruptly, her high-heeled shoes sounded loudly, and she walked out. After a while, we heard the sound of a car driving away. Zhang Hailong and I sat in the living room for a while, I thought about dozens of questions in my mind, and then I started to ask Zhang Hailong one by one. Here, for the sake of simplicity, I use the form of question and answer to record our conversation at that time.All the questions were from me, all the answers were from Zhang Hailong.Here it is: Question: Before the son disappeared, did you have any special behavior? A: He has always been very weird, and it is difficult to say anything special about him. Q: Does he have no friends? Answer: Yes, there is a foreigner, and I keep in touch with him from time to time, but I don't know his name and address. Question: Does he have the habit of keeping a diary? Answer: No. Question: Which university in the United States did he study in? Answer: Mississippi State University. Question: If you think about it carefully, what unusual behavior did he do before he disappeared? Answer: Yes, it was thirty nights. He came to my office suddenly and asked me for four million dollars in cash. How could I get so much cash together in a short time in the evening of the year?I asked him what it was for, but he refused to say and left.After he left my office, no one saw him again until now. I asked here and felt that there was nothing more to ask.I stood up and said: "Mr. Zhang, I don't think you should be impatient. I will try my best to help you." Zhang Hailong said: "Mr. Wei, please ask for everything, how much will it cost──" I immediately interrupted him and said: "Mr. Zhang, I believe that your son must be a very good scientist. What he is doing The job must be a very strange job, and his disappearance is also very mysterious. If I want to find out about this matter, can I pay the expenses first?" Zhang Hailong said: "Originally, I didn't want to raise the expense. It's from the bottom, but—" I said, "But what?" Zhang Hailong said: "But because Xiaolong spent so much money in a very short period of time when Xiaolong was here, as for what he was doing, no one knew, so I'm afraid that when you are investigating, there will be some It takes more money." I smiled and said, "Okay, if necessary, I will definitely ask you, but I hope you don't question me about the purpose of withdrawing the money!" Zhang Hailong hurriedly said: "Naturally, naturally." I thought to myself, this way, things will be much easier. Because Zhang Hailong's financial resources are so strong, if there is anything that cannot be done, it must be irreparable by manpower! So, I said at the time: "That would be much more convenient. Mr. Zhang, there is no need for me to stay here anymore, but in this villa, isn't there a room for your son?" Zhang Hailong said: "Yes." I said: "Maybe you take me to have a look?" Zhang Hailong showed hesitation on his face, as if he refused to agree to my ordinary request. I couldn't help being very unhappy, and said: "Mr. Zhang, you must not keep any secrets from me!" Zhang Hailong hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that, I did it for your own good!" I was surprised and said, "For my own good? Is there a ghost in that room?" My words were meant as a joke. But when Zhang Hailong heard this, his complexion suddenly changed, and he looked around. I couldn't help being surprised again, because since I met Zhang Hailong, he has given me the impression that he is full of self-confidence, extremely majestic, commanding others all his life, and never being inferior. He is afraid and fearful. Usually stay away from such people. But now, looking at his face, he really felt a considerable degree of fear. I waited for his explanation, and he was quiet for a long time before he said: "Mr. Wei, there was a sensational news in this villa last year, have you forgotten?" I thought about it for a while, then remembered, and said with an "ah", "By the way, last New Year's Eve, there was a foreign tourist who stayed here overnight and died suddenly, didn't he?" Zhang Hailong nodded and said: "Your memory is really good." I said: "I was not in the local area at the time. If I was, I must investigate the identity of the deceased. The deceased is not a tourist, but has a special identity, isn't it?" Hearing what I said, Zhang Hailong looked at me with admiration. From his eyes, I knew that I had guessed right. It's really not difficult for me.Before, my friend and I discussed this matter, because this violent tourist died in the villa of a famous rich man.This kind of thing, as usual, should be a big sensation. However, the newspapers treated it lightly as small news.That, of course, is due to the lack of further news for the reporter.Any news that should be sensational but not reported in detail must have ulterior motives. Zhang Hailong looked at me for a moment and said: "You guessed right, he is a senior member of a very prestigious institution in a certain country." At that time, Zhang Hailong naturally told the name of this institution and the name of that country.Now that I am describing this weird event that is almost unimaginable, I feel that it is inconvenient to write the name of this institution truthfully. Anyway, there are only a few of the world-famous police and spy agencies in the major countries of the world. It is irrelevant to not write them out. . At that time, I couldn't help wondering: "Far away from the ocean, did he come to you specially?" Zhang Hailong said: "Yes, I haven't told you in detail about this matter. That year, the consulate of a certain country suddenly sent someone to invite me, saying that there was a tourist who wanted to borrow my villa for a few days. That person was A professor at Xiaolong School. I have a lot of business contacts with a certain country, so I naturally agreed. I didn't know the identity of that person until he died. He stayed for two days, and something happened on New Year's Eve." I quickly said: "When the accident happened, what happened?"
