March 2017
Du Yongning was a little resistant to taking over this case, he felt that this was to put "small shoes" on him.
The task is very simple, let him protect a father and daughter, which is a task that ordinary police officers are unwilling to take.
Du Yongning is a person in the 749 Bureau who specializes in handling difficult and miscellaneous cases, and he has just cracked a case of smuggling cultural relics using high technology. It is estimated that he offended some powerful people, so he should be "good-looking".
Du Yongning took the deputy captain Liu Wenshi to the lounge of the community police station, and the police handling the case briefly introduced the situation.
A scientist who identified himself as Jing Pengfei reported the case and said that someone was going to kidnap his daughter. After the police who handled the case learned that what the scientist said was a little mysterious, he reported it to his superiors, who felt that this matter was under the control of the 749 Bureau, and finally the case was sent to Du Yongning.
Du Yongning lit a cigarette: "Then let me talk to him." ”
The police took a father and daughter to the lounge. The police handling the case quickly explained a few words, and asked Jing Pengfei to sign a few names, even if he handed over this hot potato to Du Yongning.
Jing Pengfei looks to be in his forties, with slightly bald hair, a somewhat fat figure, a round face and small eyes. It looks like an inconspicuous middle-aged clerk. The girl next to him is quite cute, 6-7 years old, with a round face and big eyes, and a Barbie hairstyle.
Jing Pengfei sat down on the chair with a sad face and looked around nervously.
Du Yongning threw him a cigarette, and after the latter lit the cigarette and took a big puff, he saw the little girl next to him and silently snuffed out the cigarette.
"Tell me, who's going to kidnap your daughter?" Du Yongning asked.
Jing Pengfei rubbed his hands, looking very nervous, he swallowed his saliva and stammered a little: "I'm also... Not too... Are you sure.... ”
Liu Wenshi on the side almost laughed out loud with a "poof".
Liu Wenshi hurriedly asked: "You don't know who will kidnap your daughter, so what police do you call?" ”
Jing Pengfei was questioned like this, and he became even more nervous.
Du Yongning stopped Liu Wenshi from continuing to taunt him.
He could see that the middle-aged man's panic was real, and he didn't pretend.
"It's okay, it's safe here, you can rest assured!" Du Yongning comforted.
Jing Pengfei's mood slowly calmed down.
At the same time, Du Yongning keenly observed that this little girl seemed very calm, only playing with the Rubik's Cube in her hand.
Jing Pengfei took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and he began to speak intermittently.
"My wife and I work for a scientific research institution."
"The name, address, registration information of the institution?" Liu Wenshi began to record.
"I really can't provide this, I just know that this is a multinational private scientific research institution, on a small island, my wife and I were recruited during our study abroad, and they offered three times the salary, and we couldn't refuse."
Du Yongning made a gesture for him to continue.
"We do basic physics research, and the topic of research is "time". The consortium that funds research is very rich, so our research is moving fast. ”
"Do you make watches?" Liu Wenshi asked.
Jing Pengfei showed a helpless expression, for a scientist like him, he is generally reluctant to talk about these things with this kind of big boss, but now the situation is special, he can only try to find a way to explain it to them.
In the four-dimensional space, "time" is a substance, and after research, we have found that "time" has two forms, simply put, one is "solid" and the other is "liquid". Jing Pengfei continued: "The solid state cannot be changed, but the liquid state can be changed. ”
"It's so mysterious!" Liu Wenshi held his chin and said.
Jing Pengfei nodded and said: "Originally, cutting-edge technology is unacceptable, but we are the ones who break through these barriers, the time observed by energy is the "past" and becomes "solid", and the time that is not observed is the "future", that is, the "liquid state". Therefore, the past can only be seen and cannot be changed, and the future cannot be seen, but it can be changed. ”
Liu Wenshi also lit a cigarette, and the pen he recorded stopped, and he didn't know whether to write it down now.
"The rules are determined, to peek into the past, it becomes very simple, we only need to reverse the "time particles" in a special way, we can see the mirror image of the past, but we can't change the past, we can only be an observer. ”
"What's the value of research?" Du Yongning asked.
Jing Pengfei shrugged his shoulders and said, "I can provide some evidence for the study of history, and the value of this project research has come to an end." ”
"If history can't be changed, it can't be started all over again... That's a good thing. Du Yongning nodded and said.
Jing Pengfei began to rub his hands again, looking a little hesitant.
Du Yongning noticed it, and he said encouragingly: "Don't worry, you say it, we are all professional and will keep it confidential for you, the more detailed you say, the more we can help you." ”
Jing Pengfei nodded and continued: "We went back to the time of the dinosaurs and discovered an interesting secret, there are still people of the previous generation on the earth, they are technologically advanced and rule the earth, of course we can't hear what they say, we can only see images. ”
"Lace News said that the earth's civilization has been repeatedly destroyed five times, the earth's age is 4.5 billion years, and it is normal that some other civilizations have existed." Du Yongning said.
"Well, yes, it's not big news, we're just getting closer to that fact. But before the project was stopped, my wife suddenly had a whim, she wanted to see the birth of the universe, which is the beginning of time, and this idea made us very excited, and how many scientists were looking for the truth was about to be revealed before our eyes. It took a lot of energy to experiment, but we got it anyway. ”
When Jing Pengfei said this, he suddenly grabbed his head with both hands and looked very painful.
"If you don't want to say it, we won't force you." Du Yongning comforted him.
Jing Pengfei gritted his teeth and continued: "This is a nightmare, but it can't be changed, my wife was 9 months pregnant at that time. She still insisted on participating in the experiment, and the experiment was very safe, so I agreed... ”
He began to sob: "It's all my fault... My wife was frightened... She had a miscarriage... My daughter saved.... My wife is gone. ”
Du Yongning got up and poured him a glass of water to calm him down, he wanted to ask him, what did they see? But he knew it wasn't appropriate to ask now.
"Time particles don't have any effect on adults, but they have had a small side effect on my unborn daughter."
"What is it?" Liu Wenshi asked.
"She can see the future.... Jing Pengfei seemed relieved when he said these words, and he drank all the water in the cup in one go.
