43. A surprise visit from the police
Many scientists speculate that the legendary prehistoric civilization of Atlantis was destroyed by a flood, and the memory of this great flood seems to have been etched in human culture. The Flood is told in the myths of Asia, Europe, and the Americas -- and it's interesting how the myths could be so consistent. And it's one of the arguments that scientists have deduced that Atlantis did exist and was destroyed by the flood. If Atlantis did exist, its demise clearly illustrates the fact that no matter how highly developed civilization is, it is no match for nature.
Most of the books she had bought about Atlantean civilization in the past were relatively simple scientific books, and it would be difficult to find more detailed information from them.
"Morning, Spike!" Xiao Mo ran in in a hurry, "How did you feel last night?" Do you have nightmares? ”
"Thanks to you, it's fine." She threw Xiao Mo a roll of her eyes.
"Hehe, didn't I say you'll be fine?" Xiao Mo said with an expression of "as I expected", "Because everyone's physique is different." ”
"If my reaction is the same as Yang Hongxun's, you see that I won't kick you to death!" She wanted to bite him to death! But then again, is her physique really so peculiar that not only is she fine, but she can also hear strange poetry?
"Hey, it's going to be fine." Xiao Mo patted her shoulder so hard that he almost caused the coffee in her cup to spill onto the keyboard. "According to research, the so-called ghosts are likely to be brain waves left over from before life, and those who claim to be able to see ghosts have more sensitive brains than ordinary people, so they can receive these brain waves and see ghosts."
She glanced at Xiao Mo coldly.
"Hahaha, great, Spike's brain is very sensitive, congratulations." Xiao Mo laughed extremely fakely.
She continued to stare at Xiao Mo. Don't erupt in silence, just stare at him in silence!
Xiao Mo coughed awkwardly and said, "Don't be angry, why don't I treat you to a big dinner tonight plus your favorite coffee?" ”
Her life is really cheap. "I said Xiao Mo, you ......"
"Shi Sui, Xiao Mo!" Their colleague Xu Hua hurriedly walked over, "A police officer is coming, I want to ask you for questioning!" ”
And the police came looking for them? She drank Xiao Mo and went to the reception room together, thinking that she had probably come to ask about Shi Fasheng again-in fact, they had only met Shi Fasheng once, so how could they provide any valuable clues? "Xiao Mo, you tell me honestly, did you commit something?" She looked at Xiao Mo and said.
"Why me?" Xiao Mo raised his eyebrows, "You have such a good relationship with that Officer Meng, maybe he came to you for a date,"
Xiao Mo's eyes were probably hallucinating, otherwise how could he think that she had a good relationship with Meng Fan? "Uh-huh, don't you have a good relationship with that Miss Zhu Jing?" She snorted.
"Don't mention her." Xiao Mo said in disgust, "You'd better stay away from him." ”
Wow, it's serious. She shrugged and said, "I don't want to have any contact with her anyway." ”
"That's good." Xiao Mo nodded.
Strange, how did she seem to have degraded to the point where she had no ability to read people? Her friends always remind her to keep her distance from certain people. "What is it that you have to do with each other?" She asked, tilting her head.
Xiao Mo pulled the corners of his lips and said, "I can't talk about the festival, everyone's positions are too different." ”
Different positions? "What do you disagree on?"
Xiao Mo's answer was to pet her head - well, Xiao Mo was indeed two years older than her, but there was no need to treat her like a child, as if she were a child or a puppy. "You'll know when you get the chance." Xiao Mo finally said.
God knows when the "after" will be.
In the reception room was Meng Fan and Zhu Jing, a combination of nothing new. "Is there anything you want us to do?" After she sat down with Xiao Mo, she asked.
"There's something I want to ask you two about." Zhu Jing's smiling expression made her very uncomfortable.
"Don't dare to be, what can help the two police officers?" Xiao Mo asked a little coldly.
"Mr. Yang Hongxun has met you privately, did he reveal that he wants to resell the 'Blood Mermaid' to others?" Zhu Jing asked clearly, "He doesn't plan to accuse Shi Fasheng and ask us to close the case as soon as possible." So we'd like to know more about it. ”
"Unfortunately, we don't know." Xiao Mo replied.
Zhu Jing stared at him, trying to assess the truth of his words. But Meng Fan, who came with Zhu Jing, looked very impatient, as if he was reluctant to come here. "Miss Shi, what about you?" Zhu Jing turned her head and asked her.
"Me? I don't know. She shook her head, "That sapphire is Mr. Yang's property, and he doesn't need to discuss what he likes to do with it with us outsiders." "Even if Mr. Yang wants to sell his own things, does he still have to announce it to the world and obtain the consent of the people of the whole country before he can sell it?
"Mr. Yang went to see Shi Fasheng, why did they meet and what did they talk about?" Zhu Jing half-narrowed her eyes and asked again.
Xiao Mo sneered and said, "Asked the wrong person, right?" Should this kind of question be asked to the person concerned, or would it be better for the police officer in the detention center? Could it be that Yang Hongxun will tell these two outsiders these things? ”
"Outsiders?" Zhu Jing sneered, "Isn't your relationship with him quite good?" He's willing to take the gem out of the display case and show it to you. And it can be seen from his words that he has a pretty good impression of Miss Shi. ”
"That's because we happen to have a common topic." She shrugged, "Mr. Yang sponsors the study of prehistoric civilizations, and it just so happens that I have read some of that material when I was writing novels before, so let him think that I am like-minded with him." "Others appreciate her and want her to find a reason? What kind of world is this?
"Zhu Jingjing, I hope you understand, you are asking us to assist in the investigation now, right? Please don't talk to us in that tone toward a suspect. Xiao Mo said unhappily.
"Of course, we know that quite well." Zhu Jing nodded and said, "Let's leave first today, and we may come to disturb you if necessary." ”
Meng Fan on the side snorted sneeringly.
After saying these few words, Zhu Jing and Meng Fan were ready to leave, and when Zhu Jing went to the bathroom, Meng Fan began to complain: "Inexplicably, this theft case is not even held accountable to the owner, why is she holding on to it?" ”
"Isn't that what your higher-ups want you to deal with?" She asked.
"The theft case has long been dealt with, and all the human and physical evidence has been sorted out and ready to be handed over to the prosecutor. It's just that as soon as he heard that Yang Hongxun was going to close the case as soon as possible and could dispose of the sapphire freely, he looked at this and that as if he had taken the wrong medicine. Meng Fan snorted, "That rich man is suspicious, but it is people's freedom to dispose of their own property, what is she worried about?" ”
In other words, Zhu Jing is not concerned about the case, but about the whereabouts of the gems?
"Spike, go back quickly." Xiao Mo said, "I'm going somewhere, something is calling my phone." ”
"Where are you going?" She hadn't heard that Xiao Mo was going on a business trip.
"Nothing." Xiao Mo didn't want to mention it, "Why do you ask so much?" Are you done with this week's series? ”
"Got it, got it." Che, what does it have to do with this week's serialization?
Meng Fan waved his hand to them and said, "Okay, you guys are busy with your business, if we really need you to provide information again, we will look for you again." In short, I hope you don't go to other places for the time being. ”
"If the editor-in-chief doesn't send us on a business trip." Xiao Mo said as he walked towards the stairs.
"It's the same excuse you've used before." Meng Fan snorted.
Strange thing, where is Xiao Mo going in such a hurry? Ever since the guy went missing, she hadn't asked him what had happened. "Officer Meng."
"Huh?" Meng Fan raised his eyebrows.
"Have you ever heard Zhu Jing mention that she knows Xiao Mo?" Since Xiao Mo himself refused to say it, he might be able to detect something by knocking on the side.
"Nope." Meng Fan said simply, "That woman is always mysterious. More than a month ago, I also took a few days off temporarily, causing everyone's duty to be rearranged, and she refused to say anything when asked what was going on, I really don't know how those people above approved the leave. ”
More than a month ago? Wasn't it exactly the time when Xiao Mo disappeared? Is it a coincidence? "I'll go back first, and I'll listen to you next time."
"Who's whining?!" Meng Fan screamed as if he had been stepped on by his tail.
"Okay, then next time I have time, I'll listen to you talk about your unit's personnel troubles." She shrugged nonchalantly, "Officer Meng, isn't she your partner?" Doesn't your relationship with you affect your work? "Although Meng Fan is not like a person who will deliberately stumble on the other party behind his back, it is not easy to carry out his work if he always disagrees, right?
"You don't underestimate me! As a first-class criminal policeman, how could I be affected by such a trivial matter? Meng Fan snorted disdainfully.
"Oh...... It's really impressive. "Regardless of whether Meng Fan is first-class or third-rate, but at least Meng Fan has saved her, rushing to this, she can't help but say that Meng Fan is an unpopular criminal policeman.
