Chapter 180: The Mermaid from China (3) Double Oath - The Nightmare of Love

Of course, Takashi Asama has been generous again and again, and he only allows Ken to install surveillance equipment in public places such as living rooms and gardens, and he is not stupid enough to allow Ken to spy on some private areas.

As Ryuichi Asama said, he gave Ken this right to know just so that Ken could get the news as soon as someone had an accident. There are some secrets that Ken doesn't have the right to know, unless Ryuichi Asama allows it.

What really surprised Kurosawa Silver was Ryuichi Asama's openness to this banquet. He even explained the story to Ken before Jiroji Suzuki arrived.

From the origin of aquamarine to its reality.

Legend has it that a handsome girl was infatuated with the mermaid who sang loudly on the reef, and was willing to give her life to throw herself into the sea and kiss her lover for eternity. However, the mermaid only covets the girl's delicious body, and is extremely disgusted with the girl who turns into an ugly water ghost. He tore the girl's heart apart and continued to lure new prey.

But just as he wanted to kiss another beauty, the merman suddenly clutched his chest and fell. His heart was solidified into stone, like his cold and merciless heart, and his heart was split in half, like a maiden's despair for her lover.

Awakened from the temptation of the merman, she picks up the aquamarine, which can be put together into a heart, and returns to her hometown, using it as a token of love and finding her true love. This pair of aquamarines can be used as a blessing between couples and as a weapon to curse the bearer.

Aquamarine has always been in the hands of two owners, but it is rare for both men and women to survive, and the owner of one of them has always suffered all kinds of bad luck and mental and physical torture. As a result, this pair of aquamarines has the name "Double Oath" and a recognized name - "Nightmare".

It can make couples who originally figured it out suspicious of each other, bringing about the death of one partner and the depression of the other.

The pair of cursed stones traveled from continent to continent, witnessing many marriages and many people's graves, and it was later sent to museums for collection.

Soon, modern technology revealed that the pair of seemingly bisected treasures were in fact gems with similar appearances and different properties, each with a unique radioactive substance.

If the gemstones are left alone, they may be fine, but if they are close to each other, even if they are not touched, their radioactivity can have a harmful effect on the human brain, ranging from dizziness and fatigue to auditory and visual hallucinations and mental breakdowns.

And when the gemstones are put together with each other, the place where the two touch each other gives birth to a special substance. This substance is not examinable for the time being, but as time passes, the color gradually accumulates, and the special mineral can already be identified with the naked eye as blood red in the museum. What's even more amazing is that when the aquamarines come apart again, the color fades quickly, but when they coincide again, the color reverts to a certain level of deep red that has accumulated in a relatively short period of time.

At that time, the experts of the museum were very surprised by this phenomenon, and used a special secret room to preserve the aquamarine, but they did not expect that when the room was opened again the next day, the aquamarine disappeared, and then there was no legend of this pair of gems, and they did not expect that all of them were exiled from Europe to Southeast Asia, one to the hands of the Chinese, and one to the hands of the Japanese.

Hayashi said he had stumbled upon the left half of the aquamarine at a private trade fair six years ago, while Jiroyoshi said he had discovered the right half of the aquamarine during an undersea expedition thirty years earlier, and that the pair had become more rounded in the perennial bumps, unlike the public image of the original vow, and that they both treated their collections as ordinary sapphires.

Unexpectedly, a few months ago, they met by chance at a public exhibition in Europe, and they hit it off at first sight and had a very happy conversation. Jiroyoshi was invited to his house by Hayashi and was amazed to see the aquamarine in the collection cabinet.

The pair of aquamarines are like telepathic twins, even though they are in a different place, and their appearance has changed over time, but they are very similar to another gemstone in another place today.

After Jiroyoshi returned to Japan, he communicated with Hayashi via video, and both of them could see that the pair of gems were almost one and the same across the screen.

Jiroyoshi is an avid collector of treasures, and he is very excited to learn about the past of aquamarines. He paid a high price to buy Forest's collection, hoping to conquer Kidd the Monster Thief with such a treasure.

Lin had heard a little about Kidd eight years ago, but it was the first time he had heard that Kidd had reappeared now, and his activities were limited to Japan, so he also became interested in Kidd the Strange Thief. In the process of getting along, Lin also learned about Jiroyoshi's competitive character, and seeing that Jiroji liked his treasure so much, Lin resold the gem to Jiroji at the original price when he got the sapphire.

However, the official deal will not wait until Lin arrives in Japan. Before that, Lin was going to study aquamarine for a while before giving it away.

Jiroji is naturally happy to be able to spend less money and get a baby, and a little time is not a big problem for him. He promised Lin that he would take him on a tour when he came to Japan, but he didn't expect that the accident happened when Jiroji left Huaxia and Lin was about to go to Japan.

Forest's aquamarine was stolen, and Kidd's signature was left behind.

The white card was filled with arrogant words and threatened to steal the aquamarine from Jiroyoshi Suzuki's hand, hoping that they would soon hold a press conference to fight him.

It's a weird thing.

"I analyzed Kidd's criminal actions in recent years. In the living room, Miss Wen sat on the sofa, looked through the information she had sorted out, and said clearly in fluent Japanese, "There are three doubts. ”

"First, there are very few known cases of direct challenge letters without notice. This is contrary to Kidd's original intention of attracting attention. ”

"Second, Grandpa didn't leak the deal with Mr. Suzuki. It's not clear why Kidd was able to get news of aquamarine. ”

Grandpa made a possible explanation for this suspicion: Kidd also participated in public exhibitions in Europe, and through certain channels he knew that Grandpa and Mr. Suzuki each held half of the 'double vows'. ”

He wanted to get his hands on this valuable treasure, but transnational crime was difficult, so he stole it without prior notice just to be on the safe side. The purpose of his provocative letter was to attract Mr. Suzuki to exhibit aquamarine publicly. This also reflects the fact that Kidd is not aware of the fact that Grandpa and Mr. Suzuki were going to hold a press conference in the first place. Plus, Kidd doesn't even know that you two already know that aquamarine is a 'double oath.'" Kidd only knew that you had a certain amount of intersection, so he left a letter asking Mr. Suzuki to show you the sapphires that you had been refrigerated for a long time and that did not seem to you to be exhibitable. ”

Of course, this may also be due to Mr. Suzuki's precautions being too good. Kidd can't fight for it when you don't take special care of that sapphire. ”

As he said this, Wen looked at Jiroyoshi.

Jijiro's face showed a proud smile, and there was some thoughtfulness, as if he was awakened by Wen's words.

After a short pause, she continued to speak.

"The third doubt. "Wen closes the information," is not only based on the first two doubts, but also a new direction of thinking. That is, the person who stole Grandpa's gem was not really blaming Kidd the thief, but someone else who wanted to steal the gem by the hand of Kidd the blaming thief. ”

She looked at Ryuichi Asama, and at first glance she thought it was Mr. Chairman, Fumihito Asama's younger brother: "Speaking of which, my grandfather and I read today's morning newspaper before coming here. We saw a very remarkable statement. Mr. Asama, can you take the liberty of asking, what do you mean by your actions?"
