Ah, this person she had just read in the brochure introduced, it was Yang Hongxun, the owner of all the jewelry on display here. "Mr. Yang, this is truly a very magical gem, and I believe it is a masterpiece of God." Xiao Mo stepped forward and said, "Hello, I'm Xiao Mo from X Weekly, and she is our photographer Shi Sui. ”

"I've read both of them, and I'm honored to meet you." Yang Hongxun is actually over fifty years old, only about forty years old from the outside, wearing appropriate casual clothes, showing elegance from head to toe, followed by four expressionless bodyguards.

"Mr. Yang, I wonder if you can tell us how you got this 'blood mermaid'?" She was more interested in this. I am afraid that such a precious gem was obtained by someone at auction, right?

"It took a lot of work, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is that the gem is mine now." Yang Hongxun smiled slightly.

Just say that he can't tell them that he doesn't want to tell how he got the gem? What are so many official articles? She muttered to herself.

"I heard that the person who owns this gem can see a real mermaid, I wonder if Mr. Yang has seen it?" Xiao Mo said half-jokingly.

"Hehe, I'm still waiting for this opportunity." Yang Hongxun smiled and said, "You guys visit slowly, I still have something else, goodbye." After speaking, he led the people behind him out of the exhibition hall.

"I'm afraid the means to get this gem are not so above board, right?" After the group left, she said to Xiao Mo.

"Hmph, it's hard to say." Xiao Mo patted her on the shoulder and said, "The affairs of rich people are always very complicated, so let's leave it alone." ”

"I want to manage it, but can I manage it?" She scoffed and said. Hey? There seems to be a "buzzing" sound in my ears. Tinnitus?

"What's wrong?" Xiao Mo asked.

"Something seems to be ringing...... "It's not uncomfortable, but it's not clear when you hear other sounds."

"No, it's quiet." Xiao Mo looked around, "People with good ears are just this bit of trouble, and if it's more serious, they might have a headache." "Quite gloating.

"Do you believe that I chant in your ear every day so that you can experience the experience too?" She said with a smile.

Xiao Mo smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I'm afraid of you." But I didn't hear anything. ”

"Is it just tinnitus?" She patted her ear.

"Now we can only photograph the 'Bloody Merfolk' and investigate the unfortunate events related to this gem. Anyway, all the gems are gone. Xiao Mo said, "Since you have come to Jiangbei, go to the Ciyun Library to see if there is any information about it." ”

"But how much information is there? The collection is not as large as our university library. She pouted. In the past, she also had a library card for the Tsz Yun Library, but there were too few useful materials there, and perhaps to cater to the teenage children who were more likely to go to the library, most of the new books were read by that age group, and there were fewer scientific books. In short, the variety of books in the Tsz Wan Library needs to be increased.

"At least more than yours, right?" Xiao Mo glanced at her, "Don't pick and choose, the library is a treasure trove of knowledge, give me an open mind!" ”

"Yes—" was verbose.

"Listen to you, you've been to the Tzu Yun Library?" Xiao Mo asked again.

"Well, I used to get a library card."

"Why didn't you do it later?"

"There are very few books I am looking for." She scratched her hair, "Haven't you been?" ”

"Nope." The guy replied quite plainly.

When she preached just now, she spoke so smoothly that she thought he was a frequent visitor to the Tzu Yun Library. "I think there should be some news from the past in the reading room, maybe there will be some clues."

"You know what you're going to do next, and you don't think you're just looking at the scenery." Xiao Mo smiled, "It seems that I should go and tell the editor-in-chief that this special feature about the 'Blood Mermaid' should be written by you, who are good at finding information." ”

"Shouldn't it be written by you, who are good at digging up secrets?" She said. From her last experience at the castle hotel, she shy away from these things that seemed to be hiding some secrets.

"You've been weird since you got done with the Castle Hotel." Xiao Mo said.

"Because I understand that if I am too curious, I will not live long." She spread her hands and said.

Xiao Mo laughed a few times, but it precipitated into a complicated smile, "If you are too curious, you won't live long......"

In fact, she only felt that something was wrong with Xiao Mo, since he disappeared and came back, he seemed to be a little less angry. What happened to him during that time? "It seems that neither of us is very willing to write, so in that case, no one should go to the editor-in-chief to talk too much." She said.

"Yes." Xiao Mo smiled, "Let's go, go to the library." ”

*********

According to the information found in the library and collected by Xiao Mo before, the term "blood mermaid" first appeared in 1806, as a trophy obtained during the British invasion of Egypt, but it is not clear why this gem ended up in the people. As for the first owner of the gem, an English jeweller who had been in good health and died of cancer shortly after receiving the gem; The second owner, an English art dealer, would also die of a madness after getting the gem and slammed his head against the wall, severing his injuries; The third owner was a pope from Italy, who was assassinated less than a month after receiving the gem and the gem was missing......

"All owners have died, so it's no wonder that the 'Bloody Merfolk' is known as a cursed treasure." She smiled, "But the death of cancer may have been due to the jeweler's pre-existing illness, but he didn't know it; The painting that crashed into the wall and died may have been stimulated by something and couldn't think of suicide; As for the assassination of the pope, it is not unusual, and it is not uncommon to hear about fights between political enemies. "It's really unjust that this gem has this kind of thing every time!

"The more precious the jewel, the more great things happen to it, and the accumulation of these misfortunes turns into a so-called curse over time." Xiao Mo said, "It's like putting Queen Mary of Louis XVI of France." Antonette sent the guillotine to the same diamond necklace. That necklace is also a cursed necklace, after all, it is the fuse of the French Revolution, and it does not kill a single person, but an entire dynasty. ”

"It's funny, if there is a curse, the female crook who single-handedly concocted this big scam should have died a terrible death after leaving with the necklace." She shook her head.

"You know a lot about the Queen's necklace." Xiao Mo smiled.

"It's one of the most incredible scams in the Western world." She shrugged, "All these owners are going to die in the special?" ”

"I don't know, let's bring all the materials back first." Xiao Mo said as he sorted out the books and newspapers on the table.

"Okay."
