Chapter 6 Chapter 5 Major scientific discoveries

So, is everything that Zhang Xiaolong said to his sister true? What theories did he discover that could give him such confidence?Was his disappearance caused by his new discoveries in science? All kinds of questions linger in my mind, but I don't have a clue. I just thought that it is not difficult to know the content of Zhang Xiaolong's new theory, because since Zhang Xiaolong had proposed his new theory to the professors in school, then go to the United States and ask those professors, You can know. Starting from this point, or can we know the inside story of Zhang Xiaolong's disappearance?It seems that the trip to the United States is inevitable.

However, staying here is not useless. Because in this villa, or near this villa, there is a very fierce enemy ─ ─ the enemy who almost killed me last night! I walked back and forth in the hall for a while, and saw that Zhang Xiaojuan's complexion had gradually calmed down, and I hurriedly said: "Miss Zhang, you must leave here, because this place is too unsafe for you." Zhang Xiaojuan said: "No, I have to take care of those two natives." My heart moved, and I wondered to myself that during the three years since Zhang Xiaolong disappeared, Zhang Xiaojuan has been taking care of these two red people. So, has she learned their language?

Zhang Xiaojuan is a very smart little girl. Before I could ask a question, she saw my question on my face and said, "Those two people were brought back from South America by my younger brother. They used to live in Honduras." In the virgin forest in the south. There are people of the Twa tribe. The god they believe in is Hercules, called 'Tewuhua'. I don't know why my brother put so much effort into bringing them here. .” I figured out at least one more problem. That is, when I grabbed a chair and smashed it into pieces, the two natives shouted "Tewuhua", which turned out to be the name of the god they worshiped.

I said: "So, how did your brother disappear, don't they have any idea?" Zhang Xiaojuan said: "No, their language is very simple, and their vocabulary is very lacking. They can't express slightly more complicated things." I nodded.He said: "Of course, we don't hope to get anything from these two natives, but another thing, what kind of animal is that... black head in the laboratory?" The black one, of course I knew it was a jaguar. But a jaguar eating grass, that is impossible to imagine! Zhang Xiaojuan said: "That is a jaguar, and it is also the most important thing in my brother's laboratory." I immediately asked: "Why?" Zhang Xiaojuan spread her hands and said: "I don't know either."

I said: "Okay, what you call taking care of those two natives is nothing more than opening the door for the two Twa people when they want to come out of the laboratory. I will do these things." Zhang Xiaojuan opened her eyes wide and said, "Are you going to stay here?" I nodded and said, "That's right. If I don't get the result here, I'm going to go across the ocean. Go to the university where your brother is studying and find out what's going on." Zhang Xiaojuan looked at me for a while, and said, "Why...are you willing to work so hard?" I smiled, and said, "I'm coveting your father's money!"

Zhang Xiaojuan's complexion changed, she thought I was mocking her, so I quickly said: "Don't get me wrong, your father has too much money, I hope that if I can get him back, he can get his huge property, set aside some of it, and do some good deeds.” Zhang Xiaojuan nodded and said, "Then, isn't it dangerous for you to be here alone?" I said, "It's not dangerous, don't worry." In fact, I am not trying to comfort Zhang Xiaojuan with empty words. After thinking about the whole matter carefully, I already feel that the enemy may have been watching around this villa for three years. Of course, they must have something Figure's.

But now, I'm afraid they have gone far away.That's because what they're after may have already been obtained, and that thing, nine times out of ten, is the stack of documents that I lost. Great inventions in science are often the main cause of international espionage wars. I participated in this matter. Could it be that I have been involved in such a vortex of terrible struggles? I'd rather not be!Because the most immoral and inhumane struggle is the international espionage struggle! Zhang Xiaojuan said: "Then, I'm going back to the city." I said: "Naturally. The sooner the better, and there is nothing to do, it is best not to come again." Zhang Xiaojuan walked out the door, turned her head frequently, and looked at me. After I watched her get in the car and leave, I walked to Zhang Hailong's house. In the study, on his big office chair, he was resting half lying down and half sitting.

Although I was sitting still, I was thinking with all my might in my mind.What I was thinking about, of course, was the ins and outs of this complicated and confusing matter. However, I can only come up with the following concepts: Zhang Xiaolong has made great discoveries in science, but his theories are arrogant in the eyes of the world.He spent huge sums of money to practice his theories, but in the end, he disappeared. Although he has been missing for three years, he may have been safe and sound until recently. The only concept I can come up with is this.As for what Zhang Xiaolong's new theory is, why he will disappear, and who caused him to disappear, I don't know at all.

As for the magical "demon fire" we saw last night, those spikes that I thought were highly poisonous, the lights that suddenly went out, and other strange things, I can't explain them. I found myself, like entering a steam room, surrounded by steam, so that your eyes are useless, and when you open your arms to explore, you can hardly find anything! I thought about midnight and began to feel sleepy. Just as I was about to leave this spacious study, suddenly, an electric bell on the desk rang. Although the sound of the electric bell was not very loud, it could still startle people in such a silent night. I could hardly remember what happened in an instant.

However, when the bell rang a second time, I remembered that it was a signal from these two Twa tribesmen asking to leave the laboratory!I grabbed the key on the table with one hand, jumped up, and ran to the door. However, as soon as I ran out of the door of the study, I heard a scream from the back garden, from the side of the laboratory, followed by two very angry and strange screams. I immediately realized that the matter was extraordinary. I almost jumped down from the second floor and almost knocked out the back door. However, when I came to the back garden and looked forward, I saw that the door of the laboratory had been opened, and the place where the lock was installed had been destroyed, and on the ground, a person was rolling, his side Rolling and moaning in pain!

His groaning became weaker and weaker, and his rolling movements also gradually slowed down. Although I never saw that person's face, I subconsciously felt that this person was about to die. I took a stride and jumped towards the man. Just when I arrived at the man, I heard the roar of a leopard in the distance. I hurriedly followed the sound and looked as far as I could. In the darkness, I could vaguely see, forty yards away, two short figures, and a black panther figure, flashed forward quickly, and disappeared in a flash.The shadow I saw was so blurry and disappeared so quickly, so I wondered if it was the hallucination I had after hearing the roar of the leopard! I stood still for a moment, then bent down to look at the man at my feet. I immediately saw that it was a Caucasian man with a golden beard and a very tall figure. His blue eyes were wide open, looking at me with a terrifying expression, and he said "" "Hehe" voice, saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth. I quickly said: "Who are you, tell me quickly? Tell me quickly!" I was speaking English, but the man moaned in Spanish: "Doctor... call...doctor..." I leaned over and wanted to help him up, but he yelled again in English: "Don't touch me!" At the same time, he turned his body outward and rolled away. I found that this person's sanity had fallen into a semi-comatose state.Spanish may be his original language, that is to say, he may be from South America, so he just yelled like this when he saw someone beside him, but he immediately found that I was a stranger, So he shouted in English again, telling me to ignore him. I took a step forward, only to see the muscles on his face twisted from the pain. I knew that this man's life was in imminent danger. Even if a doctor came immediately, it would be difficult to save his life. Under such circumstances, I planned to use the Chinese "acupoint stimulation method" to make him more conscious. able to tell what happened to him. However, as soon as I leaned over, before I could make a move, I only heard that person screaming wildly, the voice was terrifying and shrill, and then I suddenly stood up, and I was already frozen! I leaned over and saw his eyeballs almost protruding from their sockets, and his lips were covered with blood, which shows how intense his pain was before he died.I sighed secretly in my heart, this Caucasian man suddenly appeared here, and, obviously, he broke the door of the laboratory, so, he has something to do with this matter, and he should be at a loss the only clue. However, he died and the only clue was broken. I looked at his corpse for a while, and at that moment, I had already figured out a countermeasure. I couldn't let this corpse lie here, I had to move him away. Because, if the corpse is left here, I will not be able to report to the police, and once I report to the police, not only will I not be able to fulfill Zhang Hailong’s entrustment to me, but I will also get into great trouble. For my future work, There will also be great obstacles! I first walked into the laboratory, took a closer look, and saw that in the laboratory, all the dried cats, dogs, chickens, etc. had disappeared, the two Twa people, and the black panther, Of course it's gone. Other than that, nothing changed. I guess the white man died at the hands of those two Twas, maybe the two Twas, with everything, were about to leave, they rang the bell and waited at the door, the white man He was probably already engaged in his work of breaking the door lock. It happened that as soon as the white man entered, the Twatu rushed out, and the natives immediately launched an attack. I'm out of the lab.I leaned over the dead body of the white man and groped in his pockets. Within five minutes, I got the following items: an alligator leather bag, a notepad, a bunch of keys, a Take a rocking drill and a pair of pliers.The latter two were obviously used by the man to break the lock on the laboratory door, so I discarded them.And put the purse, notepad, and keys into his pockets. To my surprise, the Caucasian man had no weapons on him.What surprised me even more was that I didn't find any fatal wounds on his body at all! That caucasian weighed at least ninety kilograms. It was really not easy to kill a strong man like him, but now he fell to the ground without any wounds! I picked up his body, walked out, and walked a long way before throwing him on the side of the road. Then, on the return road, I carefully wiped out my footprints. After returning to the villa, I put the experimental The door of the room was ajar, and he returned to Zhang Hailong's study. I opened the leather bag, and there were dozens of dollars in it, and a piece of white paper, which, at a glance, was torn from the edge of a newspaper, on which was written an address in Chinese and English, and A person's name is: "Yang Tianfu, 5th Floor, No. 69, Dunspo Road".The English name is Robert Young. I don't know who Yang Tianfu or Robert Young are.But I am very happy, because this address and this name may not give me anything in front of me, but with my efforts, I can reveal the truth of the fact! I carefully put away this scribbled note, and opened the notepad again. Most of the notepad is blank, only two pages have text on it, and two phone numbers are written on one page— ─I inquired about those two phone numbers as soon as I left the city, and they turned out to be the numbers of two pornographic establishments. On the other page, there was a lot of densely written Spanish. I had to use a magnifying glass to see clearly, and I saw that it said: "Rob, I heard that they have got everything. That is impossible. I Decided to give up, you have to be careful in everything, if there is an accident, you must not make a sound, absolutely not! Never!" This is a letter written in a very hasty situation, and half of this page was torn off. For some unknown reason, this letter was not sent out. And I can also guess that the "Rob" who should accept that letter must be Mr. Robert Young on the fifth floor of 69 Dunspur Road! I am not only happy, but also very satisfied! I am planning to go out of the city tomorrow, on the fifth floor of the 69th floor of Dunspur Road. I want to go there to find that Robert Young. I decided to find that Robert Young first, and then gradually unravel the truth of this mysterious matter.I wrote another telegram to my cousin Hong Hong who is far away in the United States. The telegram is: "Please go to Mississippi State University and ask a Chinese student named Zhang Xiaolong what bold new theory he put forward in his graduation thesis. Please reply quickly." .” I know Honghong must like this job. After putting away all the telegrams, notebooks, keys, etc., I lay down on the reclining chair. I was very satisfied with what I had gained tonight, so I didn't even think of pursuing those two people. The whereabouts of the Twa people. Not long after I lay on the chair, the room was already full of sunlight. I didn’t know who was knocking on the door. I looked down from the window first, and saw two policemen and two police dogs! I was taken aback, because last night, although I had carefully eliminated the footprints, I couldn't eliminate the smell to prevent the police dogs from following it here. I was in the window and said loudly: "Please wait a moment!" The two police officers raised their heads and said very politely: "I'm sorry to trouble you so early in the morning." I took the opportunity to say: "I am very afraid of dogs by nature, can't you pull the two police dogs away?" A police officer said: "Of course, of course." I asked them to pull the dogs away, of course there was a reason.The police officer would come here, of course, because after the man’s body was discovered, they were led by the police dog, and the police dog must also have an impression of my smell. If the police dog approached me, it would definitely bark and make me Sergeant, greatly suspicious! I saw one of the police officers pull the dog away, and then I went downstairs and opened the door. As soon as I opened the door, I said, "Mr. Zhang is not here. I am his friend. The chairman of XX company, surnamed Wei, what are you looking for?" What's the matter with him?" As I spoke, I handed over my business card. The police officer glanced at my business card and said: "It's nothing, we found a dead body on the side of the road not far from here, and after the police dogs sniffed the dead body, they brought us here... " I let out an "ah" and said, "Last night, I seemed to hear a voice behind the house, but because I was only alone, I didn't dare to go out and look. Who died, was it a thief?" The police officer said: "We don't know the identity of the deceased. He may have been here before he died. If you find signs of someone who has been here, please contact us at any time." I hurriedly said: "Good! Good!" The police officer was obviously very polite to me because of Zhang Hailong's relationship. After he couldn't say a few words, he got up and left. I sent him to the door, and he turned around and said, "Mr. Wei, you are here alone. According to reports from the villagers, last night, there was a roar of a tiger, and there may be beasts hidden in the mountains and forests!" I naturally knew that the so-called "tiger's roar" was made by that American black dog. I just agreed at the time, and after the police officer left, I also quickly left the villa. When I came, Zhang Hailong sent me here, so when I left, I had to walk to the bus stop. After finally arriving at home, Lao Cai opened the door and said immediately, "Miss Bai has been waiting for you all night, where have you been?" I said, "Where's Miss Bai?" Lao Cai said, "She's gone, she has a letter for you." I took the letter that Lao Cai handed to me, written by Bai Su and left it to me, and opened it, only to see a few lines on it, saying: "Li, Dad and I have a trip to Europe, details will come back later." Talk, as long as half a year, as little as three months, don't read." I was very surprised by Bai Su's letter. Because, I made an appointment with her to spend the New Year's Eve together.Now it's only the second day of the new year, but she and her father suddenly have a trip to Europe. Boss Bai and Bai Su are not people who are in a hurry and have no plans. They suddenly went to Europe, obviously there is a major reason. But Lao Cai didn't know why they were going, and I really couldn't bother to figure it out, because I was already obsessed with that strange thing, and I really didn't have the energy to care about other things . Immediately, I conveniently put the letter Bai Su left me on the desk, carefully placed a dozen or so thorns in a kraft paper envelope, and ordered Lao Cai to send it to a laboratory I was familiar with for testing. Follow up to send a telegram to Honghong.Then, I talked on the phone with a friend who is a lecturer in the biology department of a university. I asked him if there were any special biological discoveries in the past two years.As a result, I didn't get any new clues. I also called Peter Huang, an outstanding private detective friend, and entrusted him to investigate where Zhang Xiaolong spent the huge amount of money three years ago before he disappeared. This is of course an extremely difficult task, but Peter Huang is very confident that he can reply to me within five days. After hearing Peter Huang's affirmative answer, I felt a little better.Because after understanding where Zhang Xiaolong spent so much money, he can be somewhat blind to the nature of the research work he is doing! I can trust Peter Huang, so I told Peter Huang what happened, and he said that he could help me with all his strength, so I gained a lot of confidence in finding out the truth in my heart. After taking a hot bath, I fell asleep again, woke up in the evening, refreshed, and the next step, of course, was to go to Dunspur Road and meet the man with the address and name who stayed at The gentleman on the mysteriously dead white man. After I got dressed, I walked out of the bedroom, only to see Lao Cai standing at the door with a very ugly look on his face. I didn't pay much attention to the embarrassment on his face, but just asked casually, "Has the telegram been sent?" Lao Cai quickly said: "It has been sent." I asked again: "What about the laboratory, when did they say they can give me an answer?" Lao Cai's lips trembled and said, "Brother Li, I... I'm really confused..." I couldn't help being taken aback, and said, "What do you mean?" Lao Cai's face was flushed, and he said: "Shortly after I went out, I turned the corner of the street and saw two foreigners fighting. I... went to join in the fun... I just looked at it for a while, the envelope you gave me , it was stolen!" My heart trembled, and I said, "What did you say, that envelope with a dozen spikes was stolen?" Lao Cai's complexion was even more guilty, and he said: "Yes... I didn't even feel it. When I reached the door of the laboratory, I touched my pocket and found that it was gone. I will come back immediately. You fell asleep. I dare not Excuse me, I have been waiting at the door, I think, it is always stolen while watching the excitement." Lao Cai is indeed old. Old people have their common problem, that is, when they narrate something, the order is reversed, and it takes a lot of effort to understand it. At that time, I had no time to blame Lao Cai, because the theft of those dozens of thorns was by no means an ordinary thing. If the one who stole the dozen or so thorns was an enemy whom I have not confronted head-on, but who has already suffered from them several times, then it proves that the enemy's methods are very powerful. But if the dozen or so spikes were stolen by an ordinary thief, then the thief might have lost his life!Because I firmly believe that on the spikes, there will be poison! I immediately said again: "What else is missing around you?" Lao Jin said: "No, I have more than two hundred yuan with me, but it's a lot of money!" I nodded, and said: "Okay, you don't have to make a fuss, those spikes are not very useful." Lao Cai said with a sigh of relief, "It turns out that they are not very useful, but they scared me for a long time!" I couldn't help but smile wryly in my heart, thinking to myself what do you Lao Cai know?Those poisonous thorns may be an extremely important key, because my friend in charge of the laboratory is specialized in toxicology, and he has especially in-depth research on the poisons of wild peoples in various places. If the dozens of poisonous thorns can be delivered to him, then he will be able to identify where these poisonous thorns came from, and it will be of great help to find out the truth of the matter at that time! But now, there is no need to say anything, the stinger has been stolen by the enemy, and I am in admiration for the enemy's superior methods, foresight, and quick strikes, but I am also very unconvinced, and I will compete with the enemy again The heart is much stronger. As I thought about it, I walked into the living room. As soon as Lao Cai turned the corner of the street, he encountered foreigners fighting. He lost the kraft paper envelope while watching the excitement. From this, it can be imagined that the enemy must have followed me to my home and was spying on me secretly. Under such circumstances, if I just go out like this, it would be really uneconomical. After thinking for a while, I went back to the study and opened a very delicate suitcase. Inside the suitcase were twelve masks made of nylon fiber.Those leather goods are as thin as the wings of a cicada, covering the face of a person, it is almost invisible, but the color of the mask is mixed with the original skin color, but it can form a completely different skin color. There is a mask used to pretend to be a drunk , and even the color of the eyeballs can be changed. These twelve masks, apart from their practical value, are the most exquisite works of art. At this time, I picked a mask of over fifty with a wine-grooved nose, put it on my face, and looked in the mirror, and it was almost difficult for me to recognize myself. I changed into another worn-out suit, and then walked out through the back door. Of course, my gait is also very unsharp, like a middle-aged man who is overwhelmed by the burden of life. I slowly turned to the front of my house. There were several children setting off firecrackers, and a foreigner in his thirties was watching these children with great interest. I became very sensitive to white people at this time.Because the person who died in Zhang Hailong's villa was a Caucasian, Lao Cai also encountered a fight with a Caucasian when he was stolen. So, I immediately paid attention to the white guy. I saw that person hanging a video camera, he looked like a tourist, he kept taking pictures, and took pictures of the expressions of the children when they set off firecrackers, and those children kept laughing. It seems that there is nothing abnormal at all, it is full of the joyful atmosphere of the New Year, but after I couldn't see it, I immediately saw the flaw, because, after every three photos taken by the Caucasian man, he always I want to raise my camera and take a picture of my house. The lens of his camera is facing the balcony where I live. Of course, he has other intentions. Although I saw the flaw, but I remained calm.Moreover, I had decided in my mind that I might as well wait a little while before going to Dunspur Road. Now, it would be more useful to pay attention to the behavior of the white man first. Not long after, it got dark, and the white man put away his camera, looked at my residence twice, and then walked out. I have been standing against the corner for a long time. If this kind of person leaves, we will follow behind. How did I know that the white man was very vigilant, I just followed him a street away, and he was already spotted by him. He stopped in front of a window cabinet for a while, then suddenly turned around and looked at him. I walked over. His actions made me feel at a loss for a moment. He came directly in front of me, stared at me viciously, and shouted: "What do you want to do?" I could only say: "I... don't want anything." He said fiercely again: "You are following me, aren't you?" When I was struggling to deal with it, I suddenly saw two foreign tourists and a Chinese who looked like me walking towards me. As they walked, the Chinese kept pointing to the shop window.With an idea, I hurriedly said, "Yes, I'm following you." There was a very sinister smile on the face of the white man, and he said, "What is it for?" I pretended to be respectful and said, "I would like to introduce you to some products rich in oriental art!" I believe that my "performance" at that time must have made me look like a leader. Therefore, the other party's expression immediately relaxed a lot and shouted: "Go away!" I really wanted to go up and give him a slap, but I agreed and stepped back.I stepped back about ten steps, and when I turned my head to look, the white man had already turned the corner of the street. I stood there blankly for a moment, groaning inwardly.Because if that person is my enemy, then he is indeed too vigilant. I am confident that my tracking ability is not clumsy, but it is beyond my expectation that he can be spotted so easily. Naturally, I was unwilling to lose track of that person, so I hurried over quickly. However, when I turned the corner of the street, the lights were on, people were coming and going, and there was still the shadow of the man there. I was very disappointed and thought to myself, since I came out, I might as well take a walk on Dunspur Road . I made up my mind and walked towards a station. However, just as I was queuing, I heard a loud noise not far away. Like any city, a large group of people immediately gathered around to watch the excitement. Naturally, it was impossible for me to know what happened. Expletives, issued in Spanish, are rude.I am not interested in cursing, but I am very interested in the sound. Because, that's the white guy I just failed to follow! Then I heard him say in an angry voice in English: "You must get it back, you must get it back!" At this time, I also began to squeeze into the circle of people, and when I reached the side of the circle of people, I jumped up. I saw that the man was waving a long and narrow belt in his hand, and that belt was used to hang the camera.But at the end of the belt, there is no camera!And there were two policemen standing in front of him. When I saw this, I immediately understood what was happening! That must be the man who lost his camera in the crowd!As soon as I understood this, I couldn't help being overjoyed, and I immediately withdrew from the circle of people and walked forward hastily. This area is not too far from my home, and I know almost all the pickpockets and hooligans who are active in this area.I know better about the pickpockets in this area, and now, I'm heading there! I turned into a very dirty street, stopped for a while at the door of an old building, and then walked up the extremely dark wooden stairs with no staircase lights. As soon as the stairs stepped up, there was a strange sound of "creaking" and "creaking".And personally, I don't believe that this is the place it should be in this highly civilized city. I have only set foot on the third section, and then I heard a strange sound from above, and said: "Who is it? Who are you looking for?" That question came out of nowhere, and if you were a timid person, you would be shocked, maybe you would be so frightened that you would immediately roll down the steep stairs!Naturally, I wouldn't be afraid, because it wasn't the first time I heard that strange voice, so I hurriedly said, "Is it Ah Xiao? I'm Wesley?" A Xiao is a drug addict. He is the watchman in this den of thieves. When the wooden ladder rang, he would ask questions. Don't say that his voice is terrifying. If a flashlight shines on his face, then It can even make people shy away, his face is exactly like "XX old devil" and "XX old monster" in martial arts novels... As soon as I said that, he immediately said: "Mr. Wei, it's been a long time, it's been a long time!" Ah Xiao was said to be an intellectual, so his words were very elegant. As I walked up, when I passed him, I slipped a ten-yuan note into his hand and said, "Is Shi Xing here?" A Xiao grabbed the banknotes tightly, and spoke more energetically, saying: "Yes! Yes!" I jumped up two more wooden steps and came to a door. I could only hear a woman's longitudinal laughter coming from inside, saying: "I only twisted a few times, and that foreign devil's eyes lit up!" Another man's voice said: "At this time, I'm afraid I will strip his trousers He doesn’t even know when he’s down.”
