39. Opinion of scientists
"Bloody merfolk? Are you talking about a sapphire? Tie Yiran asked.
"yes, have you heard of it?" She looked expectantly at the man in front of her who looked exactly like Tie Yirou. She was really surprised, because even twins, if they were of different genders, most of them were fraternal twins, and they should be the same as ordinary siblings in appearance. But Tie Yirou and her twin brother Tie Yiran were printed in the same mold. By the way, I heard that identical twins can also give birth to dragon and phoenix fetuses, and girls are produced because of the loss of the Y chromosome in the process of cell division of the fertilized egg, which is really rare.
"Of course, famous gems. Anyone who has little research on antiques has heard of it. Tie Yiran smiled and nodded.
"Why is it so famous?" She asked. If you can ask Tie Yiran, an expert in archaeology, you should be able to get a more objective and scientific opinion.
"First of all, it is very rare for sapphires to contain rubies, it should be said that they are unique at present, and the ruby in it is still in such a unique and delicate mermaid form, which is amazing." "Many mineralogists want to find out how it came to be, but unfortunately this priceless gem can't be easily dissected. β
"I think so, this crystal form is really rare. Is there any other reason? She asked again.
"The gem was examined and found to be quite ancient, formed for at least sixteen thousand years. Do you know what this concept is? Tie Yiran took a sip of coffee and continued, "The possibility that the ruby shape inside this sapphire is man-made is close to zero. β
"So, what is the reason for 'not equal zero'?" She asked curiously.
Tie Yiran smiled approvingly and said, "Your reaction is so fast. The remaining faint possibilities are from areas that have not yet been scientifically proven. For example, it is the work of aliens, or the product of a prehistoric civilization. β
Hey? Just as she guessed!
"But unfortunately, none of the speculations have been confirmed." Tie Yiran continued.
"I've also heard that people who own gems can meet real mermaids. Is this rumor also true? β
"Hehe, there are indeed such rumors. This is a rumor that the former owner of the gem said conclusively that he had seen a real mermaid. Tie Yiran turned the coffee pot that Tie Yirou brought and said, "But the people who came after it didn't seem to see it again." Of course, no one can prove whether the mermaid really exists. β
Tie Yirou said on the side: "But there is no evidence that can confirm that the mermaid does not exist." β
"That's right...... In other words, neither the evidence nor the counter-evidence can be established. She had seen with her own eyes the "raccoon", a creature that only existed in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, but the scientific community did not consider it to be an actual species. Maybe the "raccoon" is just a special species? "What is not scientifically proven does not necessarily not exist."
"Your attitude is quite in line with the spirit of science." Tie Yiran smiled, "No wonder Yirou will look at you differently. β
"Didn't she speak ill of me?" She asked, tilting her head.
"Yes." Tie Yirou answered her matter, "I said that you are very picky, every time you ask me to grind beans and make coffee, and you don't care about my situation at all, you have known me for so long, and you have never asked about my family......"
"I don't care about you? I'm making friends with you, and I'm not here to check your account! She screamed.
Tie Yiran laughed. Tie Yirou said softly: "I'm kidding you." β
She rolled her eyes.
At this time, a guest came in. "Shi Sui!" The man called.
Yo, it's Meng Fan again. He knew he could find her here. "Hey, Officer Meng is also coming for coffee?" However, judging from his expression, this uncle may not have the leisure to drink a cup of leisurely.
"I have something to ask you." Meng Fan strode up to her, "Did Shi Fasheng, the thief who broke into the museum last night, meet you before committing the crime?" β
Oh, sure enough, I asked about it. "Yes, he came to the magazine to meet Xiao Mo and me, and said that he had super news to tell us." It seems that Shi Fasheng's luck is quite good, and he met Meng Fan who is in charge of investigating this case.
"What did he say?" Meng Fan asked with a frown.
"He said that the 'Blood Mermaid' was originally his, and it was stolen from him by Yang Hongxun by despicable means. Because there is no evidence for what he said, we did not adopt it. She said.
"You didn't find anything either?" Meng Fan looked at her suspiciously.
"It's just a day before and after, what can you find out?" She muttered, "Besides, we don't intend to use what he said about it, and of course we won't investigate it in detail." "The most important thing is that she and Xiao Mo are not police informants, why should they investigate these inside stories and report them to Meng Fan?
"You actually ignored such explosive news?" Meng Fan said with a look of disbelief.
"There is not even far-fetched evidence that there is room for fabrication, who dares to scribble? We are also afraid that we will be sued by Yang Hongxun, a rich man. She said. The police need evidence to handle the case, and they also need evidence to break the news!
"Didn't you see Yang Hongxun that day? He didn't say anything either? Meng Fan asked again.
She shook her head.
"Hey! Didn't you go for an interview? Why can't you ask anything? Meng Fan said angrily.
"When did I say Gu, oh, we're going to interview?" She was puzzled, "Didn't I say I was going to a jewelry show that day?" It's you, you've been ordered to guard the jewelry show, why don't you know anything? "That's more unreasonable than that, isn't it?
"You!" Meng Fan glared at her fiercely.
"Also, if there is anything to doubt, wouldn't it be faster to ask Yang Hongxun directly? Ask me what I do? "Although it is the duty of a citizen to assist the police in solving crimes, it can't be said that she has even done the job of a police officer, right? She's not an intelligence dealer or a private investigator who specializes in providing clues.
"Tsk! If I could ask him directly, would I still be looking for you? Meng Fan said unceremoniously, "I have already looked for him on the night of the crime!" He said he didn't know Shi Fasheng at all! I checked for a day and couldn't find the point of contact between these two people at all! β
"It's likely that Shi Fasheng lied from beginning to end." She said with a sip of her coffee.
"My instincts tell me that there is definitely something wrong with the rich man who seems to be polite!" Meng Fan clenched his fists and said.
It sounds like it's just a hatred of the rich...... "Then you can find evidence and arrest him." What's the use of telling me? She shrugged and said, "I wish you a speedy quest for proof." "Even if Shi Fasheng is telling the truth, I'm afraid Yang Hongxun has already destroyed all traces.
"Nonsense! Of course I'll pull out his tail! Meng Fan left angrily.
"Hmm...... The policeman seems to be more irritable than when he came back. Tie Yirou said slowly.
"He's a cop? Looks like a simple idiot with little roots. "Tie Yiran coolly interfaced.
To sum up, Meng Fan was irritable, weak-rooted, innocent and idiot in the eyes of the brother and sisterβshe thought to herself.
