This matter has always been kept a secret. Apart from the fact that the story itself is too weird to say clearly in one sentence, it also has to be kept secret because the story involves some sensitive places. However, if it is kept hidden, it will not be fair to the dead, missing, and living people in the story, and each of them should be remembered.Even so, I can't write it down in a documentary way, I can only express it in an artistic way. I hope you in the story can read this book and know that I have never forgotten you. The protagonist of the story is Huang Qianshan, who was originally just an ordinary translator, who seems to have nothing to do with our story.However, such is the wonder of the world that often the most unlikely things are the most likely to happen.That day, Huang Qianshan took a job and needed to translate a manuscript from the Maldives, but he didn't know that because of this mysterious manuscript, he stepped into a conspiracy full of fog.

Huang Qianshan was born in Guilin, Guangxi and lives in Nanning. Although he is proficient in many foreign languages, he often does not obey the arrangements of his leaders and is late for work every day. So either he fired his boss or the boss fired him.A friend once recommended Huang Qianshan to work as an interpreter in Beijing and other places, but he refused all of them, because there is an elderly mother at home, and she has no one to rely on except her son.Although there are a lot of relatives in the family, they don't care whether their parents live or die, Huang Qianshan can't count on them.

Huang's mother is not in good health recently, and Huang Qianshan hasn't received a job for a long time, and the medical expenses really upset him.Translators have their own ways, Huang Qianshan sighed, and then he turned on the computer and went online to find work.Some of the translators are employees of the company, but most of them are skirmishers.There are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the stragglers, with many ways and relatively free time.Some manuscripts, contracts, etc. with many words need to be translated. The employer usually invites bids on the Internet first, and asks the bidders to try to translate a paragraph first. After comparison, the employer will choose the best person as the winning bidder.

Huang Qianshan glanced at the Internet, and more than half of the work was translated from Chinese to English or English to Chinese.These days, every major needs to learn English. Even a primary school student can speak a few words of English. Huang Qianshan doesn't like to be similar to others, so he learned a few foreign languages ​​intensively when he was in college.After searching casually for a while, finally Huang Qianshan's eyes lit up, and he saw a strange tender - a person wanted to translate a Maldivian manuscript. The local official language of the Maldives is English, but the native language of the Maldives is called Dhivehi or Divehi, and the more common Chinese translation is "Libehi" or "Dibehi".Apart from the languages ​​of the indigenous tribes in Africa, Libesh is probably the least spoken language in the world, and there are only a handful of people who can speak both Chinese and Libesh.

Huang Qianshan couldn't help but smile knowingly, there are absolutely no more than three people in China who can speak this language, and he is one of them.The Maldives is a small island country. Apart from tourism resources, there is nothing eye-catching. No one in the world or even the locals is willing to learn Libehi language.Huang Qianshan once worked for a British company in the Maldives for a year. At that time, he was eager to learn the local language by the way, but he did not expect to use it today. The employer left nothing but a mobile phone number, not even the gender.Huang Qianshan wrote down the mobile phone number, he hummed while shaking his head, thinking, rich people like to be mysterious, and who cares about peeping his privacy.After dialing the phone, a woman was talking on the other end, her voice was clear and clear.The woman said her surname was Lao on the phone, and Huang Qianshan felt kind upon hearing it. The surname Lao was the son and daughter of the working people, so it must be from his own family.

Because the salary needs to be interviewed and the manuscript needs to be handed over on the spot, the woman surnamed Lao made an appointment with Huang Qianshan.The woman surnamed Lao is not from Guangxi. She flew here from Beijing specially. Huang Qianshan, who was sitting in a cafe waiting for someone, was stunned when he saw the woman surnamed Lao. She was dressed in gold and silver, and she looked like a child of the working people. goods. "Mr. Huang, hello, my name is Lao Yue." Lao Yue introduced herself as soon as they met. "Don't call me Mr., it sounds awkward, just call me by my full name." Huang Qianshan sat casually.

"This is the manuscript. Please have a look. I wonder if it can be translated in one day?" Lao Yue was not polite, and directly took out a handwritten manuscript and put it on the table. It seemed that there was quite a lot of content. "One day? I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. If you're really in such a hurry, then find someone else." Huang Qianshan immediately declined. No matter how good a translator is, it is impossible to translate the content of a book in a day, unless speed is not quality. "Then how long will it take you to translate? Money is not a problem." Lao Yue asked anxiously.

"If you're in a hurry, I'll prepare it for you in three days." Huang Qianshan was secretly surprised, why the woman in front of him was in such a hurry, and she didn't pick an auspicious day to rush to have a baby. The manuscript that Lao Yue took out was not the original, but a sample integrated by taking photos.Huang Qianshan flipped through the manuscript casually. From the photos, it can be seen that the original manuscript is not a contemporary thing. The content of the manuscript has been spent. Letters are inherently difficult to distinguish.Although Huang Qianshan only glanced at it, he was secretly surprised to see the mention of China in the manuscript.Some words in the manuscript cannot be translated literally. The transliterated words mean Henan, Yuanmingyuan, and Yugong.Huang Qianshan wondered why a manuscript from the Maldives mentioned these things. Could it be that the president of the Maldives wanted to write a book to introduce China?

"Mr. Huang, I have another request, that is, when you are doing the translation, I have to watch from the sidelines." Lao Yue made this unreasonable request without changing his face. "Miss Lao, if you don't trust me, you can find someone else." Huang Qianshan pushed the manuscript back. "That's not what I mean, it's just that the content of the manuscript is a secret, and I don't want others to know." "Is this the first time you are looking for someone to translate? We have our own rules and ethics in this business, and we will not say a word that should be kept secret." Huang Qianshan cursed in his heart, this girl is really wordy, he Although she looks a bit rascal, you can't judge someone by their appearance.

"I won't interfere with your work, don't worry." Lao Yue promised. "I'm sorry, this is my rule." Huang Qianshan still refused. At this point in the conversation, Huang Qianshan left without looking back, and Lao Yue didn't stop him.This is not the first time Huang Qianshan has treated his employer like this. He thought the matter was over like this, but Lao Yue came to him one day later.If Mother Huang wasn't there, Huang Qianshan would definitely pick up the broom and drive them away.Lao Yue still wanted Huang Qianshan to translate the manuscript, but she seemed to be suffering, and Huang Qianshan was not a hard-hearted person. He saw that Lao Yue cared so much about the translation of this manuscript, so he agreed to Lao Yue's request for the first time.

As the saying goes, there are unpredictable things, Huang's mother had a heart attack that night and was sent to the hospital. The medical expenses alone cost Huang Qianshan one head and two big.Life is like this, always when you are short of money, natural disasters and man-made disasters will make you feel short of money.Without further ado, Lao Yue immediately paid for the medical expenses. Huang Qianshan didn't like to be handed over, but his mother's life was not a joke, so he lowered his head and said, "Thank you, I will translate this book for you for free." Although Lao Yue was in a hurry to translate the manuscript, Huang's mother was hospitalized due to illness that night, so she asked Huang Qianshan to stay with her mother in the hospital first, and the manuscript could be translated tomorrow.Lao Yue didn't leave immediately, but kept helping Huang's mother's hospitalization, not like an outsider at all.Huang Qianshan, who was guarding his mother, took it into his heart. Although he knew that Lao Yue wanted him to help translate the manuscript, he had no choice but to agree to Lao Yue's request—to let Lao Yue watch the book while translating. with. Because Huang's mother was going to have an operation, Huang Qianshan stayed outside the operating room, and Lao Yue also waited.Huang Qianshan urged Lao Yue to leave several times, but Lao Yue just sat there. Huang Qianshan couldn't help wondering whether Lao Yue was worried about him holding the manuscript, so he refused to leave.Since Lao Yue was not persuaded to leave, Huang Qianshan simply let Lao Yue watch from the side, anyway, he would not do anything wrong. Lao Yue asked about Huang Qianshan's family affairs from time to time, but Huang Qianshan was already annoyed by the questioning. It was not until the eight generations of his ancestors had introduced Huang Qianshan that he couldn't help asking where Lao Yue's family lived and whether he was married.Lao Yue was honest, she didn't think too much, and immediately said that she was from Beijing, her parents died, and she was the only one in the family.When Huang Qianshan heard that Lao Yue was an orphan, his unhappiness turned into sympathy. "Actually, there is an old professor in Beijing who can speak Libei Xiyu. You can go to him, and I know how to contact him." Huang Qianshan didn't want to waste Lao Yue's time, so he pushed the business out of the door. Huang Qianshan recommended it out of good intentions, but unexpectedly received a shocking answer, which was completely beyond his expectations.It turned out that Lao Yue told Huang Qianshan that Li Guowei was dead, and if Li Guowei hadn't died, she would never have come to Huang Qianshan.Li Guowei is Huang Qianshan's mentor, Huang Qianshan was able to study abroad thanks to Li Guowei, now that he heard the news from a stranger, Huang Qianshan suddenly felt that he was dreaming. Lao Yue sighed, and said that Li Guowei was killed at home the day before yesterday, and the murderer has not been caught yet.As soon as Huang Qianshan heard the word "murderer", his head buzzed. Could it be that his teacher was murdered to death.Li Guowei has always been kind to others, never quarreling with others, it is too late to respect and love him, who would lay a poisonous hand on this old professor?Soon, Huang Qianshan's question was answered. It turned out that this matter was related to the manuscript in his hand. Before that, Lao Yue had already visited Professor Li Guowei. She wanted to ask Li Guowei to help translate the manuscript, and Li Guowei readily agreed.However, no one expected that Li Guowei died tragically at home the night before the delivery of the complete translation.The strangest thing is that none of the cash and valuables at home were lost, except that the photocopies and translations of Lao Yue's manuscripts to Li Guowei were missing.Perhaps he was worried that Huang Qianshan would not dare to take over the translation, so Lao Yue immediately assured that Huang Qianshan would never be in danger, so he could rest assured.Huang Qianshan was not stupid, he could tell at a glance that Lao Yue was not sure, and he did not expect a woman to be able to protect him. At the end, Huang Qianshan asked: "The murderer has not been found yet, is there any suspect?" Lao Yue shook her head and said no, she said: "It's not that I don't worry about you, I believe you have professional ethics, but I worry that you will also be in danger, so..." Huang Qianshan smiled, he thought, you are worried about the manuscript, how could the lies become so sweet after passing through this woman's mouth.If it is really dangerous, what effect can Lao Yue play, at most it is to lose one more life.As she was talking, Lao Yue's cell phone rang, and she got up to answer the call, leaving only Huang Qianshan who was confused, in a daze. Looking at the back of Lao Yue's departure, Huang Qianshan wondered in his heart, could Li Guowei's death be related to the translation of this manuscript?If so, what secret is hidden in the manuscript that would cause someone to take the risk of killing Li Guowei?Huang Qianshan felt that this matter was too absurd, maybe it was just that Li Guowei was too unlucky to encounter robbery and murder, after all, there are too many people who are short of money these days.Huang Qianshan flipped through the manuscript casually, but when he kept reading it, he couldn't help being surprised.
