Chapter 15: Nine Yao
Shen Yu sat in a swivel chair, still staring at those places and closing his eyes in contemplation.
The sunlight shone in through the window, outlining her beautiful silhouette, and I wondered for a moment whether the Creator was too partial, otherwise how he could so generously give such a good figure and a brilliant mind to a man at the same time.
I looked at her a little forgetful and couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.
"What are you looking at?" She apparently realized that I was staring at her, and suddenly asked me.
"Curve ......" I was caught off guard by the question, and I couldn't help but blurt it out.
She glanced down at her breasts, her face flushed, and then she glared at me with wide apricot eyes.
"I mean...... The curve connecting the places of the crime ...... "I quickly rounded myself."
She squinted, as if she had seen through that I was lying.
"Really, look here, if you don't consider the pot theft case in Renji Lane where the victim has not been found, after marking the locations of the other seven cases, it will become seven ......" I stood up awkwardly and walked to the front of the map and gestured vigorously.
"And then flicker." Shen Yu looked at me with Erlang's legs crossed, "Seven what?" ”
"What's the ...... Seven what's coming from......"
I suddenly remembered the seven ponds in Luqiao Park, and from the map, the seven ponds were scattered and arranged a bit like the Beidou in the sky. It is no wonder that Luqiao Wetland is also known as Tawau.
Shen Yu picked up a plastic ruler from the table and walked towards me while tapping on his palm.
"Yan Zhu, if you don't explain the curve today, I'll let you recall what it's like to be physically punished."
"Don't don't, don't I'm explaining? Seven, what, Seven Stars......" I hurriedly said what I had just thought.
"Do you want to say the Big Dipper? Do you want to take a good look at these places, arranged like a spoon? Shen Yu didn't know when he turned around, took out a small spoon from the coffee cup, and banged my head with it.
"Seven stars aren't necessarily spoons...... I pretended to be aggrieved, "In ancient times, there was a saying about seven stars, and seven stars were also ......."
"Seven Yao?" Shen Yu stopped suddenly, she no longer knocked on my head, but looked at the dots on the map and frowned.
"That's right, it's the seven rays, the sun, the moon, the water, the metal, the fire, the wood, and the earth!" I looked at the locations on the map and suddenly said, "Look at the locations of these places!" Lined up in a staggered manner! ”
Shen Yu didn't care about me, she hurriedly ran to the computer, and I followed. She opened a star map software and entered the locations of those who stole pots one by one, and the words "calculating" appeared on the software screen.
After a few moments, a time appeared on the software.
"October 7, 499 A.D."
"Could it be that the position of this arrangement is the location map of the seven stars on that day?" I was dumbfounded, "Isn't that far-fetched?" ”
"Probably not," she said, shaking her head, "you see, that day happened to be the autumnal equinox. You go and find out what happened in 499 A.D. ”
"No need to check," I pointed to my head, "I remember it all." In that year, China was still in the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Wei State in the north was the reign of Emperor Xuanwu Yuan Ke, and the Qi State in the south was the reign of Xiao Baojuan, the Marquis of Dongdu, the Northern Dynasty was quite stable, and the Southern Dynasty seemed to be constantly rebelling. ”
"What else?"
"Also, by the way, Emperor Yuanhong of Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty died that year."
Shen Yu shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be right, don't worry about these things for now." A question occurred to me. ”
"What's the problem?"
"Even if Qiyao's location is confirmed, don't forget, we still have an eighth case."
I was stunned. If you count it according to Qiyao, the ancients didn't know about the existence of Uranus and Neptune except for the five planets, so which star is the location of Renji Lane in the eighth case?
I slapped my head suddenly.
"Jiuyao! Jiuyao! In ancient times, in addition to Qiyao, there was also a saying that there were nine Yao! In addition to the seven stars, there are two hidden stars, named Jidu and Rahu! ”
"What is a hidden star?" Shen Yu's eyes lit up suddenly.
"It's two stars that don't exist, but are just theoretical. The meter is the ascending node of the ecliptic and the white path, while Rahu is the descending node of the ecliptic and the white path, that is, the position of the lunar eclipse. You know the zodiac and the white way, right? ”
"I don't know, tell me about it."
"The ecliptic is the orbital plane of the sun, and the white path is the orbital plane of the moon, if the two planes are extended indefinitely, there will be two intersections, the one above is Jidu, and the lower one is Rahu, so you understand, right?"
"Understandable." Shen Yu smiled, "I found you to be quite useful." ”
"Did you just find out?"
"I found out. You are simply an encyclopedia, or a paper version, and you will not take the initiative to give me an answer if I don't turn it over. ”
"The electronic version has to be turned to know the answer." I SAID HOLDING THE KINDLE IN MY HAND.
Shen Yu said as he typed the zodiac and the white path into the star map software, and I saw that the location of the "Jidu" happened to fall on Renji Lane, and then the location of Rahu was on Polo Street in the south of the city.
Shen Yu's expression suddenly brightened.
"I see! Do you remember Shi Chong said that there is no one in Renji Lane who has such a big iron pot? She said.
I nodded.
"Because what he cares about is not stealing the pot at all, but the place, the place! Renji Lane didn't have that kind of iron pot, so he deliberately carried a mouthful and walked around the alley, in order to be seen, and to make people think that he stole it in Renji Lane. She added.
"But why does he care so much about directions?" I asked with a frown.
"Then we'll have to wait until we catch the backstabber himself, and then ask for it myself." She patted me on the shoulder very happily, "Hey, what do you want for dinner, I'll invite you to eat." ”
I was simply flattered and hurriedly stammered, "I want to eat whatever you want." ”
Instead of smiling, she looked at me seriously, and the look in her eyes made me a little flustered.
"What's wrong?" I thought there was something wrong with my own answer, but she hurried back to the computer.
"What did you say just now that intersection of Rahu is?"
"It's a lunar eclipse."
She looked up and pointed to the computer screen: "On October 7, 499 AD, there was a total lunar eclipse. And, you see. ”
I walked over too, and she quickly clicked on a web page, only to see that it said—
"Good news for astronomy lovers, the city will be observing the Blood Moon next Thursday!"
......
I hurriedly ran out of Shen Yu's office, and happened to bump into Lin Ying taking Yu Yiqing to visit the campus, apparently learning about Du Wanqian's situation.
Lin Ying's temperament is like a student who is still in school, and the two long legs tightly wrapped in Xiaoyu's jeans have also attracted the attention of many boys.
These two women came to visit the campus, and they were a perfect match.
Xiao Yu's eyes were sharp, and she saw me from afar and waved her hand at me.
I walked over in three steps and two steps, and Lin Ying was still chatting with a student.
I then turned around and asked Xiao Yu, "Has there been any progress?" ”
Xiao Yu nodded vigorously.
"Du Wanqian, it's not that simple to dare to be emotional. We all visited the school recently, and the teachers and students thought that she had left home to chase stars in anger again, and she would come back anyway, so no one dared to provide any clues. Now that we heard that she was dead, many of the people who asked us complained about it. Miss Du has bullied people a lot at Weiyang University, do you know that there was a case of a female student committing suicide here last year? ”
"I know, that student's name is An Yue, and I heard that he has depression."
"Some students secretly told us that An Yue's depression was forced out by Du Wanqian. Du Wanqian and An Yue had nothing to do with each other, but for some reason, she suddenly began to hate An Yue, found a group of scoundrels in the school and gangsters in society, and came to harass An Yue every once in a while. Not only that, but I heard that An Yue's father was also instructed by Du Wanqian to make him unemployed - her father had a car repair shop, and someone came to make trouble at both ends of the three days, and in the end he couldn't open it and almost closed it. ”
I was taken aback: "A little girl, with so much energy?" ”
And Du Wanqian is so arrogant and domineering, her father doesn't care?!
But thinking of Du Jiansheng's example, I swallowed this sentence silently.
