Chapter 1 Finding an Heir

Next Chapter

Since ancient times, there have been many huge riches in the world, and when these huge riches disappear over time, their wealth disappears, creating one mystery after another.

This is a corner of the earth, the name of the country is Fudeqi, although the country is not large, with a population of less than 300,000, but it is a tourist vacation and tax haven for the world's rich.

Not far from the coast there is an isolated island, which is a rich man's castle called Green Island, which was built in the Middle Ages. It is said that one year the tsunami destroyed the buildings 30 kilometers off the mainland, but the green island was not damaged at all, which shows its solidity. The whole island enclosed by watchtowers is a large manor house with green trees, three three-story villas in a zigzag layout, and a swimming pool in the middle of the three villas, which just connects the three villas in series. The three villas were named the Golden Building, the Silver Building, and the Bronze Building, probably because of the golden, silver, and yellow colors.

The owner of the castle is named Gust, he is the emperor of a commercial empire, he owns 99 conglomerates in all walks of life around the world, with a total capital of 1 trillion US dollars, and the profits handed over to him every year reach 10 billion US dollars, which means that he can use 10 billion US dollars in cash at his disposal every year. Because of his low profile, the world did not know that there was such a business giant on the earth, because he could not spend it, and his account has accumulated more than 100 billion US dollars in cash.

Gust, who is over 100 years old, knows that his time is short, and according to the ancient system of Green Island, it is time to find an heir.

The five elders of Green Island and the island: Tai Lao, Yue Lao, Jin Lao, Shui Lao, Tu Lao and the five old heirs: the crown prince, Yuezi, Jinzi, Shuizi, Tuzi, and 99 group chairmen were recruited by Gust to the Jinlou Law Hall to search for heirs.

People in accordance with the ancient system, after the ritual law, move out of the compass, law, law, by the five elders in front of the eyes to complete the search test, the old man started the compass to measure the direction, the old Yue Lao consulted the law book to determine the birthday, gold, water, earth three old people started the magic weapon to determine the gender, characteristics and distance, the results, the five elders will seal the test results in the magic weapon, waiting for the auspicious day, by Gust and the five old heirs to start the search.

October 10th is the opening day of the search. Gust, who was hobbling and sat in front of the big screen, opened the magic instrument and handed the result book to Gust, "Please check it by the castle master!" Gust opened the book and looked at his birthday, and sighed: "What a coincidence, it's today." Then he handed the booklet to Yuezi, "Let's start!" Yuezi gave the direction to Jinzi, the distance to Shuizi, and the rest to Tuzi, and Jinzi, Shuizi, and Tuzi entered the conditions into the computer, and soon, with the help of satellite maps, the location was locked. Tuzi screened the population according to the conditions through super software, and found 9 people who met the conditions in the local area, and the last condition was to determine the candidates by characteristics, and 5 people must go to the scene to verify in person. Gust looked at the photos of the nine people and felt very cordial to a middle-aged man from country C, but quickly covered it up, he sighed: "Look at fate!"

On the morning of N City in Country C, in the Xiuxiu vegetable market, fruit vendor Hu Shiqi was sorting out fruit boxes, and his 5-year-old daughter Hu Xiaoxia was greeting guests. Five foreigners came to the booth, and a "bearded" foreigner asked, "Little friend, where is your father?" Hu Xiaoxia: "Inside, what do you want, I'll help you weigh it." The "bearded" smiled and said, "I want 5 catties of grapes." Hu Xiaoxia struggled to put 4 large bunches of grapes on the scale, looked at the scale, added a few, and quoted: "5 catties, 17 yuan and 5 jiao." The "bearded" handed her 20 yuan, and asked with a smile: "How much money should you look for me?" Hu Xiaoxia picked up Baba: "Should you find... At this time, Hu Shiqi came over to educate the child and said: "20 minus 17 is equal to 3, 1 minus 0.5 is equal to 0.5, a total of 2.5 yuan." The girl nodded as if she didn't understand.

Taking advantage of Hu Shiqi's head to give change, the "bearded" and the other four foreigners stared at Hu Shiqi's right forehead tightly, and after a while, the five looked at each other and shook their heads.

In the room of the "Another Mouth" hotel are the five heirs of the island: the prince nicknamed "Bearded", the confinement nicknamed "Humpty Dumpty", Kaneko nicknamed "Glasses", Mizuko nicknamed "Fake Woman", and Tuzi nicknamed "Farmer". They are sorted by age, with the "bearded" being the largest, followed by "Humpty Dumpty", followed by the third "glasses", the fourth "fake woman" and the fifth "farmer".

Yuezi washed the grapes and put them on the coffee table, and the five of them sat around the coffee table, eating grapes and talking about Hu Shiqi. Prince: "He doesn't even have a scar on his forehead, let alone an old scar from nine years ago. "Yuezi:" Excluding 1 person, there are 8 people left. Tuzi checked it on his mobile phone and said, "I'm going to inspect Tian Mu in the afternoon?" Shuizi also looked at his mobile phone and said: "The sun is too big in the afternoon, I think it's better to inspect Pu Meishan, he is a takeaway, let's order a takeaway and let him deliver it." Tuzi returned: "It's okay!"

At dinner time, five people were sitting in the room, and there was a knock on the door in the room, and "glasses" went over to open the door and said, "Take it in!" I saw a middle-aged man wearing a blue takeaway uniform who looked nearly 50 years old, and when he walked into the room, he was Park Mi-san. The "bearded" said, "Put it on the coffee table!" Park Mi-san put the takeaway on the coffee table, and he was slightly surprised to see that it was a few foreigners, especially because they spoke C Chinese fluently. He did not know that these five people could fluently speak the nine Chinese languages spoken by the most people in the world, including country C, the ninth most populous country in the world.

Wuzi observed that although Park Mi-san had dark skin, his forehead, especially his right forehead, was smooth and traceless, and the "glasses" looked at it carefully and said, "Thank you!" Park Mi-san replied: "No thanks! After saying that, he took the door and walked out.

"Glasses" waited for the door to close, listened to the footsteps and walked away, shrugged his shoulders to the others, spread his hands, and said, "Eliminate one more, and there are seven more." ”

The next day, the sun shone hotly on the earth, and the people on the streets, whether going forward or backward, ran to the side of the shadows. The "bearded" took the other four people to get out of the car near the "Tangren" neighborhood, and they walked towards the neighborhood guard.

At the entrance of the "Tangren" community, a parasol was completely ignored by the sunshine of the west, and the security guard had to go to the next tree to hide in the shade, and the security captain reprimanded the security guard when he saw this: "Tian Mu, who told you to leave your post without permission and hide over there, you think the salary is too high, right?" Tian Mu: "No way, you see that the parasol can't block the sun in the west at all, I can also complete the work here, is it okay to be humane?" Security captain: "I'll give you humanization, who will give me humanization?" When the manager deducts my salary, I will deduct yours." Tian Mu was helpless: "Okay! Okay! Okay! I'll stand up." ”

"Big Beard" and other five people had already come to the door, as if watching the excitement, they stood at different angles, carefully observing Tian Mu's forehead in the sun, "Humpty Dumpty" excitedly exclaimed: "He has a scar on his forehead!" "Fake Woman" sighed: "What's the use of that, he is on the left, we are looking for the right." The "farmer" said happily: "Let's go! There are six people left, it won't be the last!" The "bearded" said solemnly: "Even the last one, we must also work hard to complete the mission." The farmer replied, "Of course!"

The five people returned to the "Youkou" hotel, and after dinner, the "farmer" looked through the next list on his mobile phone and said: "Let's go to inspect Liu Renjian tomorrow, he is a bus driver." The "bearded" responded: "All right!"

The next day, it rained heavily, and the "bearded" five people took a taxi to the bus departure station, and there were still 20 minutes before Liu Renjian's No. 59 bus departure, when the rain stopped, and I saw a man and a woman quarreling under the shade of a tree not far away, and the "glasses" said: "That man can't be Liu Renjian!" The "farmer" looked at it and shouted, "Exactly!" and the "bearded" man said, "Let's get closer and observe." ”

The woman who quarreled with Liu Renjian was howling: "You can't get divorced? You have been married for 5 years, you can't afford a house, and the child's milk powder money depends on me to earn money from tutoring classes, and I can't find a tutoring class. Except for a fall from drinking last year and a scar on his forehead, it hasn't changed. I won't tell you, I'm divorced from this marriage. ”

Liu Renjian was speechless, and could only mutter: "That's what I can do, you can leave if you want to! I will rest the day after tomorrow and go through the formalities with you." The woman breathed a sigh of relief and said, "The child belongs to you, and I will pay the child support on time." ”

Liu Renjian knew that it was irretrievable, and Qin Yang replied: "Okay! ”

The woman didn't look back and walked away.

Liu Renjian looked at his watch, and then walked towards his car.

"Humpty Dumpty" said: "There is indeed a scar on his right forehead, but unfortunately it was from last year, not 9 years ago that we asked for. "Fake Woman": "Eliminate one more, there are 5 left, let's go!"

The "bearded" led everyone to a small restaurant on the street that looked relatively clean for lunch, and chose a window seat to sit down. The shopkeeper was very happy to see five foreigners coming, and thought they could take a bite. But I heard one of the "bearded" people order food in fluent Chinese: "A plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a plate of roast chicken, a plate of beef in sauce, a braised carp, and a plate of boiled vegetables in clear water." The heart was half cold, and the embarrassment should come: "Please wait a while, use the tea slowly." Then he asked the man to bring a pot of tea and put it on the table.

"Glasses" picked up the pot and poured a glass for the four people one by one and for himself. The farmer was checking his phone and said, "The next person's name is Yu Zhen, and he is the cook of a small noodle restaurant." The bearded man took a sip of tea and replied, "Well, let's go there for dinner." "After eating, 5 people went back to the hotel to rest.

In the evening, the golden sunset hangs in the western sky, illuminating the upper half of the commercial buildings on one side of the street, but not the lower half, which is the same primary color as the buildings on the other side. The street was full of people coming and going to get off work, and the five people "Bearded", "Humpty Dumpty", "Glasses", "Fake Woman" and "Farmer" followed each other closely in the crowd, for fear of losing them and finding each other difficult to find.

The five people followed the map and came to an alley, and the "farmer" said, "Turn into the alley, on the right." Turning into the alley and walking for about 5 minutes, everyone stopped in front of a noodle restaurant, only to see the gold-lettered signboard of "Huangjia Noodle Restaurant" on the door eyebrow shining in the sunset. On the left wall of the shop is a description of the history of the "Huang Family Noodle Restaurant", the "Big Beard" goes to the service desk to buy noodles, the "Humpty Dumpty" and the "Fake Woman" choose a wall table to sit on, and the "Glasses" and "Farmer" go to read the history of the "Huang Family Noodle Shop" on the wall.

It turned out that this is a chain store, has a history of 30 years, the development history said that the founder of "Huangjia noodle shop" Huang Guangzai was unemployed, to a strange city to find a job, this day, his money was stolen by thieves, the job has not yet been settled, tired and hungry he fainted in front of a noodle stall on the street, the noodle stall owner is a kind-hearted old man, seeing this, helped him into the store, woke him up, and cooked a bowl of noodles for him to eat, Huang Guangzai felt that this bowl of noodles was the most fragrant bowl of noodles he had ever eaten in his life. Through conversation, the old man happened to be surnamed Huang, his single son went abroad to study and never came back, his wife had passed away a long time ago, the old man had a good pension, and he didn't open this noodle stall to make money, mainly because he was too lonely, and he hoped to have something to do to communicate with people. The old man took in Huang Guangzai, a guy who was not needed, and used all the money earned from the noodle stall as Huang Guangzai's wages, and the old man died two years later, and the old man's son had already lost contact. Huang Guangzai later made the noodle stall bigger and made it into a noodle shop, in order to commemorate the old man, so it was named "Huangjia Noodle Restaurant", and now it has become a chain store of "Huangjia Noodle Restaurant" with nearly 100 franchise stores all over the country. ”

"Glasses" and "Farmer" finished reading the history of the store and sat down on the seats chosen by "Humpty Dumpty" and "Fake Woman", and "Bearded" had already bought the number and sat next to "Humpty Dumpty" waiting for the number. At this time, the music was stopped on the store's radio and a warning message was played, "Please take care of your valuables". It turned out that the cashier at the counter saw several foreigners who spoke Chinese C coming in, and not long ago, the news said that some foreigners who had been in country C all year round frequently stolen. Of course, the "bearded" and others did not know what to do, thinking that it was the store's habit of reminding customers.

"No. 150, 151, 152, 153, 154, please go to the window to get noodles!" Hearing the radio call, the "bearded" asked everyone to go and get noodles from the window, when Yu Zhen came out with a bowl of noodles, everyone found out that this was a middle-aged man in his 40s, "fake woman" said: "Can the master add more soup to me?" Yu Zhen said: "Okay!" "Fake woman" said to the town: " The master has a good face, especially the scar on his right forehead, which is very similar to the good mark that God ordered to the good people in our hometown, which must have been left after he was a child!" Yu Zhen said embarrassedly: "It was left when I was a child." ”

The five people returned to the table to eat noodles, and "Humpty Dumpty" said, "The right forehead is finally aligned, but unfortunately there is no scar on the left arm." The farmer said, "I have paid close attention to his left arm, which is indeed clean and unscorn. The farmer said, "This one is gone again." After eating noodles, the five of them walked down the street back to the hotel.

In the early morning after the rain, "glasses" opened the curtain and found a tall magnolia tree outside the window, he pushed open the glass window, and a burst of magnolia flowers wafted in with the wind, only to see the green leaves dotted with magnolia flowers and buds. Downstairs, there is a cleaner sweeping the fallen leaves and flowers.

"It's so fragrant!" may smell the flowers, and the "farmer" doesn't know when he came over. "Glasses" looked at the cleaner and said thoughtfully: "Today we will go to inspect Kong Mengyu, he happens to be a cleaning worker." The farmer said, "Yes!"

At breakfast, the farmer said to everyone, "'Glasses' suggested that the next one should go to inspect the cleaner Kong Mengyu." The "bearded" man said, "Okay, the last four people, see if they can find it, if they can't find it, they will have to wait for next year to ask for a new magic weapon." ”

After the meal, "Big Beard" and other five people came to the Xinjie community, which is a mixed community of shops and residences, and the shops generally open after 9 o'clock in the morning, so there are few pedestrians on the roads in the community, Kong Mengyu is sweeping a bunch of dog shit, he scolds while sweeping: "Come out to walk the dog and don't clean up the dog shit, these dog owners are really uneducated." ”

The "bearded" people approached and observed that Kong Mengyu had some gray hair on his temples, was about 60 years old, and was wearing a white T-shirt on his upper body and a pair of blue trousers on his lower body. "Glasses" whispered, "He has an old scar on his right forehead." The "fake woman" said, "It seems that there is a scar on his arm!" "The bearded man" stopped and said, "Don't look at it, the scar on his arm is not on the left, it is on the right, it is not in order." ”

The five people left the Xinjie community, because it was still early, they returned to the "Youkou" hotel room and inspected the information of the last three people: Lan Tiansheng, a worker at the Koster Electronics Factory, Fan Tang, a real estate salesman, and the last Jiang Zi, an unemployed person.

"Big Beard" and others know that the reason why they can accurately find the current location of 9 people through their mobile phones is that through the Green Island encryption network, it can easily find all the information that "Big Beard" and others need, because there are Green Island information officers in any corner of the world, some of these information officers are local residents, and some are camera monitoring equipment. Because the technology of Green Island's own research institute has been several generations higher than the current world's highest technology, people do not know that their cameras and other monitoring equipment are serving themselves at the same time, they are also serving Green Island. So, why can't we rely on this information network to investigate the characteristics of the nine people? Because, the major problems related to the successor must be identified by the bigwigs who protect the island one by one, which is also the requirement of the ancient law of Green Island for thousands of years, and the five sons such as "bearded" are the five elders who protect the island, so the five sons are well aware of the heavy responsibility and dare not use the green island network to eliminate characteristics.
