477. Fermi's paradox
Hirata found that this bodyguard lady was not a person who could be easily overwhelmed by momentum, and then his attitude immediately became gentle, and he said with a smile:
"Ahh
"It's not funny." The expression on the woman's face was still serious.
“……”
As Hirata had thought, this woman's sense of humor may have been ripped out by God before she was born.
"I'm really not here to investigate the case, actually, I'm on vacation today," Hirata rummaged through the bottom of his pocket, "You see, I didn't even bring my work permit today." ”
Hirata has been investigating the case of Hakuba Villa for 3 years, and sometimes he suddenly remembers the details of the case when he dreams about it in the middle of the night.
Although the deceased was not a very innocent person, and his death was much more than what he had done alive.
The reason why Hirata is so obsessed with this case is that the impact of this case continues to this day.
It wasn't until he read the newspaper yesterday and learned about the major personnel changes within the Triangle Group that he realized that if it weren't for the case of White Horse Villa, maybe everything would be different today.
And according to the evidence he has, the real murderer is someone else, this scheming Chinese, who was just thrown out to take the blame, and behind this there is the intricate exchange of interests of interest groups, he just took the fire and succeeded.
Therefore, the reason why Hirata appeared here was not to arrest her boss, as Yayoi Mai feared.
He just wanted to see the person involved.
Yayoi Maiko looked at him suspiciously, and then asked, "Then why are you here?" ”
"Can't I come here? It's so lively, it's okay to come and see it, right? ”
"Do you have a ticket?"
“……”
Hirata was helpless, and the corners of Yayoi's mouth hooked up a sneer: "So you are squatting here in the cold wind of early spring, and you feel the lively atmosphere like this?" ”
“……”
Choking for a long time, Hirata stomped on his feet that were a little numb from the cold: "Actually, it's pretty good outside." ”
"Then you can stay out there."
"That's right." Before Yayoi entered the gymnasium, he stopped her, "Why are you here today?" Shouldn't you be protected by your employer's side? Why are you alone now? ”
“……”
Yayoi was speechless for a long time before she brushed her hair awkwardly and said, "They have other arrangements." ”
"So you came to the concert?"
"I'm in."
"Hey!" Hirata yelled at her back, "Can I see your boss today?" ”
Yayoi paused for a long time, as if he was also thinking about this question, and finally said:
"I don't know."
Hirata smiled and sat down on the steps, looking at the growing line when suddenly he was tapped on the shoulder, and a ticket was handed over.
"You take it. I just got an extra ticket. ”
Hirata turned his head, and Mai Yayoi's expression was not clear in the backlight.
"Ah, thank you so much."
Hirata is not the kind of hot-blooded police detective, and his ability to walk down the stairs is quite outstanding.
Hirata studied the tickets for a long time and asked, "By the way, how do you have tickets?" Oh, it can't be your boss who gave it to you, right? ”
Yayoi didn't answer this question, but asked instead, "How did you find out that my boss was mixed up in this program group?" ”
Hirata grinned, revealing his smoke-stained teeth: "Your boss is not a low-key person, and, you see, it seems that I am not the only one who has found out." ”
He raised his head in the distance, Yayoi looked over, and saw that in that direction, several people with flamboyant hairstyles and fierce faces, who knew at a glance that they were not good at stubble, also appeared in the queue to enter.
"Tayama Society?" Mai Yayoi tensed.
Hirata put his hand in his pocket and said quietly: "It doesn't matter, there are so many people here, they don't dare to do anything, it is estimated that they are just here to demonstrate, and besides, the Tianshan Society is gone, and now it is just the last prestige." ”
Just when the two were on guard, suddenly a voice came from behind them, which startled the two:
"Hello, I heard you just speaking Japanese, are you native?"
The two turned around and saw a bunch of people pointing their cameras at them, with the hostess standing in the middle, and the microphone was about to poke them in the face.
"Uh, yes, that ......"
"Can I interview you? Where did you hear about our program? ”
“……”
Yayoi and Hirata looked at each other, and finally Yayoi had an idea and said, "We are fans of Chen Liang." ”
The name "Chen Liang" is very strangely pronounced in Japanese, and the hostess keeps a smile on her face, glares at her eyes, and repeats the name with strange emphasis.
"Chen Liang, Chen Liang? …… Are you fans of Chen Liang? ”
Yayoi Hirata paused for a moment, then nodded at the same time:
"Yes."
……
Su Xiaonuan ...... Do you know about her and Chen Ya's filming? Qin Yunchu asked, his eyes full of curiosity.
Jiang Xinhai touched his chin with his fingers and frowned, "He told me a little, but I don't know much." ”
"Ahem......"
Gu Yuqing suddenly coughed lightly on the side, Jiang Xinhai looked over, she twisted her body twice, and immediately sat up straight, leaning her ears over as if nothing happened.
Gu Yuqing had heard of the relationship between Chen Ya and Jiang Xinhai, but she had never heard of it before.
So even she didn't know about Chen Ya and Su Xiaonuan.
"Chen Ya told me that he was only making movies for one thing," Jiang Xinhai said, "just to make money." ”
"Make money? But...... Didn't he already make a lot of money from writing at that time? Qin Yunchu said in surprise.
"Lots of money? "No," Jiang Xinhai said, "the domestic publishing industry was very withered at that time, do you know how many copies of his best-selling "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" were printed at that time? It's barely a million copies, and it's the result of several additional prints. ”
"Huh?"
This answer is very contrary to common sense, in Qin Yunchu's consciousness, the name of the Golden Yong Ancient Cage is too loud, and the people of the country seem to have seen it, it shouldn't be just that.
Jiang Xinhai said: "There is nothing surprising, the domestic publishing industry was very withered at that time, and you have also worked as a book editor, so you should know very well that the first printing of "Shooting the Condor" was only 100,000 copies. ”
Qin Yunchu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded. In fact, the number of 100,000 copies for the first printing was already very good for Chen Ya, who was just a newcomer at the time, and it was considered a high incense for an unknown newcomer to sell 10,000 books.
Qin Yunchu said: "100,000 books, the price is calculated at 35 yuan, and the royalty is about 6.5%, that is to say, the first edition of Chen Ya is only ...... More than 200,000? ”
"Yes, the royalties have increased a bit, but the taxes have to be deducted, plus all kinds of expenses, and in the end, when he finished more than 50 sets of books, he only had a total of 8 million in his hands."
"8 million?" Qin Yunchu's lips moved, "How can there be only so much?" ”
Jiang Xinhai smiled bitterly: "It's less than you imagined, right?" It is completely inconsistent with the fame, mainly because, first, the publishing industry at that time was really sluggish, and second, there were too many pirated books, and most people actually read pirated copies. ”
Qin Yunchu groaned: "Hmm...... Indeed, our biggest headache at that time was pirated books. ”
So he actually got rid of the poverty line, and he was far from making a lot of money, not to mention ...... He threw more than half of it on the property with his backhand. ”
Jiang Xinhai paused, and then said: "He bought dozens of houses in the capital and Shanghai in one go. ”
Qin Yun took a breath of cool air when he first arrived: "Dozens of sets? Oh, indeed, the property market wasn't as crazy as it is now. ”
Gu Yuqing finally couldn't help it, and also joined the topic: "At that time, the housing prices in the capital were about six thousand, and they couldn't be sold. ”
Jiang Xinhai said solemnly: "Maybe there is more than vision, the rise of the property market is mainly due to a wave of large infrastructure after that year, he was able to bankrupt his family and invest all his money in the property market in the previous year, I doubt that he can foresee the future, even if it is the crony capital of the year, he does not dare to invest money like this." ”
Gu Yuqing pursed her lips and said, "Perhaps, he traveled back from the future?" ”
Qin Yunchu smiled silently. No one takes this joke seriously.
"Well, so he bought a house with all his money, and later in order to make money, he started making movies with Su Xiaonuan?" Qin Yunchu asked, "But why Su Xiaonuan?" ”
"Maybe it was because his friend at the time was only Su Xiaonuan." Jiang Xinhai said, "When it comes to making movies, you not only need money, but also connections and resources. ”
"So it's amazing," Qin Yunchu said, "He and Su Xiaonuan were just ordinary people in a small mountain village at that time, right?" Even at the age of school, how did he convince those people to help make a movie? ”
"He asked the bigwigs in the literary world for help, and with a script, he went to Cao Kunguan, a well-known producer at the time," Jiang Xinhai said, "The name of the script is "Crazy Stone." ”
……
"Xiao You, have you ever thought about a question, why haven't we found a time traveler so far?"
In the taxi, Su Xiaonuan said suddenly.
Xia You came back to his senses and blinked.
She was very glad that Su Xiaonuan pulled the topic away from Chen Ya, and her mind could think about other issues normally.
Xia You asked, "Are you talking about the space-time version of the Fermi paradox?" ”
"Well, it's called the Fermi Paradox."
"Fermi said that if there are aliens in the universe, then after a long enough time, human beings will definitely be able to observe aliens," Xia You said, "In the same way, if the time machine is invented, then people will definitely be able to meet people who have traveled from the future to the present." ”
Su Xiaonuan had a smile on her face and nodded, "So, what do you think?" ”
"That means there are no aliens in the world." Xia You leaned his head against the car window, "Human beings didn't invent a time machine in the end, and they perished before they were invented. ”
Su Xiaonuan said: "Are you afraid? ”
"Why be afraid?"
"Why aren't you afraid?"
"Anyway, it will definitely take many years for humanity to perish," Xia You leaned against the car window, and Yu Yu said, "Before that, I have already perished, and it is none of my business." ”
Su Xiaonuan said: "But have you ever doubted that there are some people in this world who seem to be able to foresee the future and do very magical things, have you ever suspected that those people may have traveled from the future?" ”
Xia You raised his head suddenly: "What do you mean?" ”
