Thirty-one. Appalling

At eight o'clock the next morning, when I woke up, Liu Yu and his shrewd and capable female secretary were already waiting in the living room. Before I could speak, Liu Yu waved his hand and sent the female secretary away temporarily. It wasn't until the door was closed that he turned his gaze to me, and motioned for me to sit down, with a little warmth on his face.

"If you're so serious, you won't talk to me about any major international issues, right? Why didn't you wake me up? Although I didn't sleep well all night, I couldn't help but ask curiously, Liu Yu in front of me seemed too formal.

"Wake you up? I don't want to mess with you who didn't sleep well. Liu Yu nodded, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and said slowly: "Let's get to the point." I should have come up and have a serious conversation with you about the question you mentioned yesterday, but I haven't figured out how to say it, because everything I'm going to say is probably a bit beyond your comprehension. Now that you've decided to stay here, I think there are some things you should know. ”

It's just a Hong Xiaoyu, will it make him so nervous? Without waiting for me to ask, he turned on the laptop he had been holding and turned to me. Appearing in the picture in turn are people dressed in different costumes, just looking at their dresses, it is very similar to the photos that Lin Zi showed me before, one looks like it was taken in recent years, and the other one, although it is the same person, but it is a costume with a sense of age. Except for the occasional celebrity or two, most of the people who appear in the photos don't look recognizable.

"Any thoughts?" Liu Yu asked thoughtlessly. He was obviously expecting my response, "These things are all classified documents, and not many people can see them except me, so our conversation today is also secret, and I can guarantee that what I am telling you is definitely not a dream." ”

"These people...... Could it be that you want to follow me. Did they all travel through the wormhole decades ago to the present? Or are they all actors. That's why I dressed up like that. Flared pants, I remember, were a very popular outfit in the eighties. I pointed to one of the photographs and smiled wryly, though that explanation was a bit beyond my comprehension. But I couldn't help but ask.

Such a whimsical idea. Unexpectedly, it was recognized by Liu Yu. He turned back to the computer, crossed his fingers, and after a moment said, "That's exactly what you said." It's just that they didn't come through the wormhole, but survived to the present. These photos were also taken under very unexpected circumstances. Decades passed, and they looked the same as before, as if time had not worked on them at all. In other words, some subtle changes have taken place in their bodies, as if they were ...... Ate the same as preservatives. Am I clear enough? ”

"It must be the wrong way I opened my eyes when I woke up in the morning!" I closed my eyes, I must still be dreaming, otherwise, how could Liu Yu, who has always been serious, say such inexplicable words in front of me? But Liu Yu was indeed sitting in front of me, and he looked very leisurely.

I reached out to him, squeezed his fingers hard, and with a scream, I seriously asked, "Does it hurt?" ”

"Are you still my own sister? With such a strong effort, your finger was not broken by you, even if you were lucky. Can it hurt? Do you want me to break your fingers? Liu Yu looked at me helplessly, crying and laughing.

"If it hurts, that means I'm not dreaming, right? So why did you talk nonsense? You say they ...... Is it that long to live? But it seems as if time hasn't left a trace on them? This is absolutely not true in theory, is it? You also know that people have no way to fight against time, even the most powerful people can't do it, and this is probably an equality that there is no way to deny in the world. "I glared at Liu Yu a little helplessly, but my heart was full of question marks, Liu Yu is not a person who likes to joke, at least in such a thing, he never jokes, so in this way, the question is, how did those people do it?" Is it a facelift? I know that with today's technology, it's not difficult to 'change heads'. ”

Liu Yu frowned, he sighed, and said slowly: "It's not difficult to change your face, but these people are not in the situation you said. In fact, this was also discovered by our department a few years ago, because of an antique that was auctioned. It was a piece of porcelain that was considered ominous by the antiques industry. It is said that everyone who holds it dies. The last person to possess it died in a dozen years, and it is said that a thief sneaked into the owner's residence at night and encountered the deceased when he succeeded. The two men had an argument, as a result of which the owner was stabbed, and the thief also panicked as he fled, fell from the window and died. ”

"Oh? The thing you said seemed quite sensational at the time. "I nodded, it looked like I had seen the news on TV years ago." I heard that the person who was stabbed was not rescued in time, so he died? He's said to be an authority figure in a certain industry, right? ”

Liu Yu nodded, sighed and said: "It is said that his death is suspicious, the person who rushed to investigate the case conducted a careful investigation of the scene, and extracted two sets of fingerprints from that antique, one is the deceased, one is the thief, it is said that the person who entered the fingerprints at that time was a novice, and inadvertently entered the two fingerprints and the identity information of the two people into the fingerprint database." According to the results of the investigation at the time, it was confirmed that the two had indeed had a dispute over the antique, and the tragedy that occurred during the dispute between the two people, so the case was closed by accident. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yu paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about how to say what to say next, and seeing that I didn't say anything, he continued: "Just a few years ago, Interpol issued a wanted warrant for assisting in the investigation, which published the information of some prisoners. I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, but among the fingerprints provided by someone, it was found that the fingerprints of one of the people were the same as those of the person who was killed in the antique case. ”

"What?" The last sentence shocked me to stand up from my chair abruptly, and looked at Liu Yu with wide eyes, "You say it again?" Fingerprints of a dead man...... Is it really possible? How do I think it's unlikely? Are you sure you're not mistaken? Are you sure you're not talking in your sleep......" (To be continued......
