Chapter 11: The Demon Thief Returns
The next day, Duanmu was still studying genetic experiments in his dream, and a pair of fat hands woke Duanmu awake, Huo Xiaojia's strength was really not small.
As a baby who has the gas to get up, Duanmu just wanted to have a seizure, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Fang Zheng sitting on the side.
Fang Zheng apologized slightly, and said slowly: "Duanmu, I'm sorry to wake you up, there is a new situation." ”
Seeing that Duanmu was still in a state of confusion, Fang Zheng paused before continuing.
"I've been working on a couple of cases lately, all of which are about missing people, probably related to the underground labs you mentioned. The previous few were homeless people or civilians, and recently several heavyweight tycoons suddenly disappeared, and yesterday the prince of Fuhai Group, Situ Yunhai, personally reported the case, saying that his father Situ Dafu had been missing for 24 hours, and asked for help in finding someone. ”
Duanmu heard this and hurriedly got up.
Fuhai Group is a well-known local private enterprise, a large taxpayer, and a large group company with high-tech characteristics actively supported by the local government. The company started from the processing of electronic products, and gradually developed into a whole industry chain company integrating computers, mobile phones and smart home appliances. After the scale of the company expanded, it also actively involved in the field of real estate and finance, and gained a lot.
Even people like Duanmu who don't care much about the economy and finance have heard of it, plus Duanmu's father has business dealings with Fuhai Group, Duanmu is still quite sensitive to this company. I heard that this company has invested in many private genetic research institutions, but such rumors are generally difficult to prove.
Fang Zheng continued: "The recent disappearance of the rich has a certain amount in common, it is all related to a rich club, this club we have been following for a while, but people are just gathering to hold a seminar or something, although the theme is a bit superstitious and feudal, but they have not done anything else out of the ordinary, so in the end they let it go...... This club is called the Emgrand Club, and the name sounds luxurious, but it has a more resounding name in private: the Immortal Immortal Cultivator Society. ”
As soon as Duanmu heard this name, he had an ominous premonition in his heart.
Don't talk about cultivating immortals, there are so many pleasures in the world, glory and wealth, and endless enjoyment, Duanmu doesn't believe that these rich people are willing to give up these people in the world to do what ethereal immortals are.
But immortality has always been the ultimate dream of the elite class.
From the earliest emperor of ancient times, Qin Shi Huang, and even earlier antiquity, emperors and generals have all pursued immortality, not to mention many later great figures.
And in the mortal world, in order to pursue immortality, the methods used are also strange.
In ancient times, there were alchemy, Qing cultivation, and later there were warlocks who practiced and borrowed their lives to return their souls......
In modern times, all kinds of bizarre life-sustaining drugs, or non-stop organ transplants to prolong life, and even some people freeze themselves, hoping that science will develop to the point where human beings can live forever and then resurrect.
In the age of genes, scientists have found that the natural lifespan of humans is closely related to genes, especially the telomere length of gene molecules.
This discovery is a lifesaver for the rich, who can't wait to apply the results of their research to themselves, and enjoy themselves forever without worrying about dying one day.
Fang Zheng's words interrupted Duanmu's contemplation: "Situ Yunhai asked me to meet in the morning, I rushed over to pick you up with me, maybe you can find some other clues." ”
Duanmu agreed without hesitation.
The group soon arrived at Situ's mansion.
It was a single-family mansion among the green mountains and green waters, and I don't know how the Situ family got this feng shui treasure, and it must have cost a lot of money. Looking at the courtyard is a fountain, a pool, and flowers and trees, just like a corner of the palace, it must be extremely expensive to maintain.
As soon as the car stopped, Situ Yunhai personally came out to greet him.
I saw that the prince of the Situ family did not have the prince's frame at all, he was very approachable, and his dress was not exaggerated, and he was only slightly more delicate than ordinary people in the sea of people. Although Situ Yunhai is not tall, about 1.77 meters, he maintains a good body shape, unlike many gentlemen, who are either overindulged and very thin, or eat fat heads and big ears. Unhae's hairstyle is Korean-style broken hair, which looks warm and comfortable. Yunhai's skin is very white, at first glance, he has never suffered hardship, fine skin and tender meat, thick eyebrows and big eyes on his fair face, a straight nose and thin lips, and a smile that reveals white and neat teeth, which can fascinate thousands of girls.
But a group of old men didn't appreciate his face, and everyone hurriedly walked into Situ's exclusive office and began to discuss how to find Situ's father.
Without waiting for Situ Yunhai to say a few polite words, Fang Zheng first asked: "Situ Gongzi, didn't you unite with the young masters of other families to find someone?" As far as I know, there are several big families that have old men missing......"
Situ Yunhai said helplessly: "I've tried it too, but it's just ...... How so...... These young masters are eager to take over the old man's class as soon as possible...... Instead of cooperating with these people who have their own ghosts, I might as well find you more reliable. ”
As he spoke, Situ played with a leaf-like object that was placed randomly on his desk, as if it were a bookmark.
Duanmu could see that it was ......
The blue maple leaves of the Demon Thieves!
Duanmu asked, "Excuse me...... Where did you get that blue maple leaf in your hand? ”
Situ's face was full of doubts: "Is this this?" This little leaf is quite delicate, and the one I found in the notebook on my desk is strangely pretty...... As for where it came from? I don't know ...... either."
When Duanmu Tianqin heard this, he hurriedly asked: "Situ Yunhai, hurry up and see what is missing at home!" ”
Situ looked confused, his mind hadn't turned a corner, under Duanmu's urging, Situ turned around the office and found that there was nothing missing, so he had to call the housekeeper and ask the housekeeper to take stock of the things at home.
After working for a long time, the Situ family really lost something!
It is an ancient book, and it is handed down from the ancestors, the Situ family has been busy doing business in recent generations, and they have never been literati, and they can't understand it, so they just keep this ancient book as an antique, and when they meet cultural people, they take it out to show off, and they don't pay special attention to it, so that when this book was lost, the Situ family doesn't know at all......
This book is called "Xuanshi Lu".
Situ turned on his phone and said, "I've flipped through it a few times, and I don't think it's interesting, it seems to be a book that records strange stones, and I've taken a few photos, this stone looks like a turtle shell, look at it......"
Duanmu took a look at it and was immediately shocked!
Because this stone is the one that Shirley stuffed into his bag, and he carried it with him......
Duanmu didn't act rashly, all this was too weird: the strange stone that Shirley secretly gave him in the United States actually appeared in ancient Chinese books. And, in the special capacity of Shirley's father's work, it is highly likely that this stone came from outer space! The origin of this stone must be extraordinary, and there must be a great secret in it!
