Huo Shaoheng's deep black eyes stared unblinkingly at the images on the surveillance video, but his thoughts were far away.
Time seems to go back to that day seven years ago.
He remembered it clearly.
That morning, Bai Jinyi, director of the Imperial Capital Institute of High Energy Physics, suddenly said that there was a magnetic field anomaly in City C. She was going there to measure the magnetic field anomaly data. However, she was worried about something happening and needed strong protection. She specifically asked Huo Shaoheng to be present.
The Bai family's status in the political arena of the Chinese Empire was not low, and she was the girlfriend of Huo Shaoheng's father, Huo Guanchen, at the time. Therefore, Huo Guanchen gave her this face, and specifically asked General Ji and Speaker Long for permission. After receiving permission, he ordered Huo Shaoheng to take the lead. With the elite force of the Special Operations Department, they went to City C to provide special security for Bai Jinyi.
Because the Special Operations Department led by Huo Shaoheng cannot interfere in domestic affairs without authorization.
Since that time it was just a scientific investigation and not a political mission, Admiral Ji and Speaker Long did not object and gave them special permission.
In the beginning, everything was normal.
Bai Jinyi led his team to circle around a good place in the downtown area and start taking measurements.
It was approaching noon, and the abnormal magnetic field gradually weakened. Bai Jinyi felt that it was almost done, so she called her people to close the team.
Noon was the busiest time in that place, so they planned to give way.
At this moment, a car suddenly rushed in from an unknown direction, making a loud squeak, causing huge sparks, and the entire car immediately fell into a sea of fire.
At that time, Bai Jinyi gave up and immediately asked everyone to evacuate, not caring whether there was anyone in the car that suddenly broke into.
At the critical moment, Huo Shaoheng, in line with his duty as a soldier, refused to risk his life.
Ignoring the fire, he rushed in and opened the car door and found a sobbing little girl inside.
He immediately stretched out his hands to the little girl inside who was so frightened that she almost collapsed, "Come, let me rescue you."
The little girl's eyes moved to him, her small nose twitched, and she shook her head desperately, refusing to let him take her out.
The fire outside the car was getting bigger and bigger, but it didn't affect the inside of the car. Huo Shaoheng didn't have time to think too much at the time, so he hurriedly went over to untie her seat belt, held her against his will and quickly turned around and escaped from the car.
He remembered that the twelve-year-old girl struggled towards the car, as if she didn't want to be rescued by him.
Just after running a few steps, I heard an earth-shattering roar from behind.
A huge wave of air struck, knocking him and her to the ground.
He only had time to protect the little girl tightly under his body, and did not let the remnant power of the explosion hurt her in the slightest.
She cried hoarsely and clutched his collar so hard that the little girl was so frightened that her whole body twitched.
In the end, she seemed unable to withstand such a huge impact, and fainted with her head tilted.
After the explosion subsided, Huo Shaoheng stood up.
He still remembered the way he held her in his arms and looked down at her.
She closed her eyes and lay motionless in his arms, with dark bangs covering her forehead, fair skin, and a round, pouty face, which looked very ordinary.
Just like a montage in a movie, seven years passed by in a blink of an eye. The fainted little girl he once rescued and the little girl lying motionless in the submarine were magically overlapped.
If the little girl in the submarine was also carrying a small backpack and holding a small doll, it would be like an old scene reappearing.
Huo Shaoheng looked at the surveillance screen on the screen, his consciousness blurred for a moment, as if what he encountered back then was just a dream.
But how could it be a dream
That fat little girl with an unattractive appearance grew up beside him, from the age of twelve to nineteen now.
He knew her so well. Seven years was enough for a little girl who was ignorant of the world to grow into an adult. She was even his wife.
But the fair and chubby little girl in the submarine is also reality, and it is consistent with Gu Yanran's confession.
Huo Shaoheng's mind was spinning, and he felt that the reason he had held on to for so many years was about to leave him.
He clenched his hand into a fist, covered it in front of his face and coughed twice. With a hoarse voice, and using his last bit of restraint, he calmly gave the order: "... salvage."
…
The mechanical arm of the salvage ship began to work. Huo Shaoheng walked to the deck, put one hand in his trouser pocket, and held a cigarette in the other hand, silently smoking at the blue hole in front of him.
After not sleeping for several days and nights, Huo Shaoheng desperately needed to clear his head. He smoked harder than before.
Yin Shixiong understood Huo Shaoheng's feelings, so he came over and smoked with Huo Shaoheng.
The two stood quietly on the bow of the ship, listening to the sound of the staff on the opposite deck manipulating the mechanical arm, as well as the sound of the waves, which were amplified in the night sky and spread far away.
Yin Shixiong whispered: "... Mr. Huo, don't worry too much. Think about it, Professor He... at least won't harm Nianzhi."
"I think Professor He must know the whereabouts of Nian Zhi, otherwise he wouldn't have disposed of all the family property, right? It must be to hide his whereabouts so that he and Nian Zhi can fly away..."
Huo Shaoheng glanced at him, indifferently, without any pressure, but Yin Shixiong's neck felt cold for no reason.
It feels like being targeted by a bloodthirsty wolf.
After Yin Shixiong finished speaking, he was stunned, touched his neck, slapped himself hard, and muttered: "If you don't know how to persuade others, don't persuade them! I'll let you talk nonsense!"
What he just said really deserves a beating.
Huo Shaoheng dusted off the soot, moved his eyes away from Yin Shixiong's neck, looked in the direction of the blue hole sea area, and said, "Let's fish it out first."
…
When waiting for the small submarine to "" go to sea, everyone on the ship was very nervous and in a bad mood.
Zhao Liangze was even more irritable and didn't want to stare at the surveillance camera anymore.
He came to the deck and controlled his little hummingbird robot to take pictures everywhere. He actually took a lot of Caribbean scenery that could be used directly as a desktop.
Back in the cabin, he showed everyone the photos he took today and said to Yin Shixiong: "Nobita, look at this, can you go directly to the photography exhibition?"
Yin Shixiong took a look and saw that it was a photo in the evening.
It's just when the sun is about to set, and it's so round that it's amazing. The sunset glow in the blue sky is perfect, and the colors are full and rich, just like plumeria flowers hanging in the tropical rainforest, and the girl in the grass skirt, her posture is enchanting and bright.
"Huh? Not bad! Are your hands shaking out of habit?" Yin Shixiong clicked his tongue.
"Who has a habit of shaking hands?!" Zhao Liangze glanced at him, "No artistic talent! No appreciation level!"
Cursing, he stood up and pushed Yin Shixiong away. Just as Song Jinning turned around from his own screen, he saw the sunset picture on Zhao Liangze's computer screen and exclaimed, "It's so beautiful."
"Hahahaha, Director Song still knows the goods!" Zhao Liangze said hurriedly, "I have a higher definition one here, do you want to see it?"
Song Jinning rubbed her eyes, walked over and said, "Okay, it's just time to give your eyes a rest."
Zhao Liangze: "..."
Yin Shixiong: "Pfft!"
Song Jinning ignored them and sat down at Zhao Liangze's seat. Holding the mouse in his hand, he right-clicked on the properties of each picture and looked through them.
In fact, Song Jinning has no artistic talent. When she looks at these pictures, she doesn't look at the composition or color, but looks at the pixel resolution and frequency coefficient.
Just looking at each data makes her feel relaxed and happy.
Zhao Liangze was also a computer expert. He knew what Song Jinning was looking at at a glance, which made him even more depressed.
Although Yin Shixiong had been in a bad mood these past few days, he still felt much better after seeing Zhao Liangze deflated.
As Song Jinning continued to look at a group of photos, his mind habitually began to combine various data together, and he gradually noticed some differences.
She went back and looked at all the photos taken by Zhao Liangze.
This time, we didn’t look at the parameter data of the photo, but the photo itself.
Zhao Liangze finally felt better.
At this moment, Song Jinning said softly, "Hey" and said, "Oze, look at these two photos, do you think they are a little blurry?"
Zhao Liangze: "..."
Yin Shixiong: "... Hehe, Director Song, Ozawa has a habit of shaking his hands. It's normal for him to be confused. If he's not confused, it's abnormal..."
"Go! Get out of the way!" Zhao Liangze pushed Yin Shixiong away completely and sat next to Song Jinning, "Director Song, which one do you want?"
Song Jinning put the mouse on the two photos she mentioned, right-clicked, "Look, the parameters of this one and the parameters of this one are exactly the same as the previous data, but these two are better than before and after. The photos should be blurry.”
Zhao Liangze squinted and looked at it for a long time, "I can't see it? It's obviously the same resolution, so how can it be blurry than other photos?"
Its smart little camera has an internationally leading autofocus function.
Although Yin Shixiong always jokes that his hands "habitually shake", in fact, with the function of his camera's automatic vibration reduction and focusing, shaking is not a problem at all and does not affect the final imaging function at all.
Song Jinning nodded, "Oh, your eyesight may not be as good as mine. Do you want to print it out and look at it with a magnifying glass?"
Zhao Liangze: "..."
Yin Shixiong: "..."
Being told by a woman who is old enough to be their mother that their eyesight is not as good as hers, this feeling, tsk, is really a bittersweet experience.
However, their eyes were almost bulging out, and they didn't notice any difference. In the end, they just printed it out on the highest resolution photo paper.
Once this print came out, they immediately saw the difference.
There are two photos that are indeed blurry than the other photos, and this blur is not the kind of blur that cannot be focused due to shaking hands, but the blur that seems to appear as a double image.
But every image is equally clear.
"What's going on?" Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong clicked their tongues together, confused.
Song Jinning looked at the two photos for a while and said, "This phenomenon will only occur under one condition."
"...when the hands are shaking?" Yin Shixiong still persisted in promoting the theory of "habitual hand shaking".
Song Jinning smiled and shook his head, "No, when the hands are shaking, the edges of the image are blurred. The edges of the images in these two photos are clear, but there is still mushy vision, which only occurs under strong magnetic fields. The phenomenon."
"Because ultra-strong magnetic fields can cause uncertainty in matter."
"According to the theory of quantum mechanics, the same particle can appear in two different places at the same time."
"The conditions presented in these two photos are very close to this theory."
"And when the magnetic field energy is strong enough, it can cause larger objects to appear in two different places at the same time."
"So the two slightly overlapping pictures look blurry. In fact, it is because of the emergence of super strong magnetic fields that they appear in two different places at the same time."
"A super strong magnetic field appeared here today!" Song Jinning came to the conclusion. She stood up and said, "I'm going to take a look at my instrument!"
Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong were stunned throughout the whole process, wearing mosquito repellent incense over their eyes.
Huo Shaoheng walked in and frowned: "Salvage has begun outside, why don't you go help?"
Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong came to their senses and secretly admired Song Jinning for being so powerful. He actually used his academic skills to deceive them, both of them, members of the Special Operations Department who had been tested for a long time...
"Yes, Chief!" The two of them hurriedly ran to the deck to participate in the final process of salvaging the ship out of the water.
Song Jinning was also called out by Huo Shaoheng to help monitor and build a closed chamber filled with nitrogen below the deck.
…
Based on the experience of salvaging the "cereusi" last time, this "cereusi" is now much smaller and would have been easier to salvage.
However, the blue hole waters here have a more complex terrain than the waters at the Cape of Good Hope, with more rocks. The salvage ship cannot get close and can only rely on the robotic arm to dive diagonally in twists and turns, which takes a lot of time.
The five fingers of the robotic arm grabbed the small submarine and lifted it from the bottom of the sea.
Zhao Liangze watched the staff operating the robotic arm perform microprocessing through the monitor.
They are really experienced and can monitor the conditions of the seabed through the cameras on the robotic arms, find suitable routes in time, and avoid those intricate reefs.
For this reason, it only took them one night less than the time it took to salvage Gu Xiangwen's large submarine.
It took two days and one night to salvage Gu Xiangwen's big submarine, and they spent two days this time.
So in the end, when the small submarine "" came out of the water, it was also in the dark.
Two whole days, forty-eight hours, from night to day, and from day to night.
Forty-eight hours later, the night sky was still dark, the sea was covered with thick clouds, and it was raining lightly.
Light rain rarely falls in the Caribbean. It is either a clear sky or a heavy rain caused by a hurricane. Such poetic light rain is rare.
A huge tent was set up on the medium-sized salvage ship, extending to a distance of about 20 meters from the sea.
This kind of tent can block the prying eyes of satellites in the sky.
Similarly, Huo Shaoheng didn't want other countries' satellites to monitor what they were doing.
After the tent was set up, they dragged the small submarine "" out from the bottom of the sea and put it on the deck of the salvage ship.
Just like last time, a small closed room filled with nitrogen was improvised below deck.
The small submarine that had just been salvaged and looked like a banana split ice cream was placed in the center of the room.
Huo Shaoheng and Chen Zhan wore full-body chemical protective suits, carried oxygen tanks and walkie-talkies on their backs, and entered the closed room.
Song Jinning helped them replace the air outside and ensured that there was only nitrogen in the room before they tried to open the door of the small submarine.
Huo Shaoheng only used a piece of wire to open the door of the small submarine.
He was very surprised. He went over and took a closer look and found that the lock was indeed not as complicated as that of a large submarine.
Maybe this little submarine is really a toy given to Xiao Nianzhi by Gu Xiangwen...
Huo Shaoheng and Chen Chen pushed open the door of the small submarine and walked in.
The little submarine was too small for their two grown men.
After walking only about five meters, they arrived at the playroom where the little girl was lying.
The floor of the game room is covered with wood-colored floors, but there are colorful graffiti on the floor. They must have been painted by children, right
The display's attention was completely attracted by the little girl with pink princess face.
He pushed Huo Shaoheng's arm and wanted to walk over and take a look.
Huo Shaoheng nodded and let him do what he wanted, while he still stared at the graffiti on the ground and examined it carefully.
Zhe walked to the bed, stretched out his hand, opened the little girl's eyelids and took a look, and found that she was indeed dead.
It's just that the submarine was filled with nitrogen, so her body was preserved as if she had just slept and would wake up at any time.
Display shook his head and sighed, thinking that he had to prepare the coffin again...
He turned around and saw Huo Shaoheng still staring at the graffiti on the ground.
"What's wrong? Do you look at the painting drawn by this child so carefully?" Display asked curiously.
Huo Shaoheng said lightly: "...This is not an ordinary painting."
He raised his head and looked at the motionless little girl lying on the bed with a complicated expression, and said: "... This is the clue she left when she was dying. She used pictures to tell us who killed her."
