Chapter 419-420(1/2)
[Chapter 419, Star Coin Password]
The interstellar passenger spacecraft quickly broke away from the gravitational circle of the capital star and entered the stage of stable navigation in the universe.
A soft announcement sounded in the cabin: "Dear passengers, our spaceship has begun sailing at a fixed speed. During the rest of the journey, you can go to the lobby on the 2nd floor of the spacecraft to buy all kinds of food by yourself. At the same time, on the 3rd floor,
The entertainment center will be fully open 24 hours a day. Passengers who need to participate in various entertainment activities can make reservations in advance using the app in the spacecraft..."
It was the first time for everyone to ride on an interstellar spaceship. This spaceship is similar to a luxury cruise ship. In addition to the rest cabins, other public areas have been transformed into a food court and entertainment center.
If we hadn't taken the princes to escape from the capital planet together this time, everyone could have relaxed on the spaceship for two days.
But now, everyone has no interest in going out to play.
Shao Qingge opened his carry-on suitcase No. 3, took out a large amount of compressed food, and placed it on the dining table for everyone to eat. Lu Jiuchuan opened a pack of compressed beef, stuffed a beef cube into his mouth, and joked with a smile:
"Mr. Shao is really well-equipped, bringing such a large box of food."
For convenience, all of them were empty-handed. Only Shao Qingge and Ye Qi brought three boxes of luggage.
Ye Qi came over mysteriously and lowered his voice and said: "We experienced a weekly trip before, which was a replica of a sea cruise. Mr. Shao was very rich and took us to have an extremely expensive breakfast in the VIP restaurant. Calculated, one
The steamed buns only cost a few hundred yuan. Mr. Shao said, you get what you pay for, and the more expensive ones are always better."
Tang Ci asked with interest: "What then?"
Ye Qi glanced at Shao Qingge: "Then, like those who ate free breakfast, we suffered from vomiting and diarrhea and food poisoning! Hahaha."
Shao Qingge: "...You remember it so clearly."
Ye Qi finally stopped laughing, coughed slightly, and said seriously, "The ace of spades tells us that spending money will also buy you suffering. Therefore, Mr. Shao has learned his lesson and does not want to eat on the starship. Today
I went to a convenience store early in the morning and bought a whole box of sealed food."
Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci had "I see" expressions on their faces.
Shao Qingge: "..."
Regarding this dark history, Shao Qingge had nothing to defend. He patted Ye Qi's shoulder lightly: "Is there anything wrong with being cautious? Go ahead and cook a bag of noodles for daddy. Don't forget that in this world, I
He is your adoptive father, no matter how old or young."
Ye Qi's ears turned slightly red, and he glared at him with a resigned expression on his face. He turned around to cook noodles for "Dad" and also cooked a bowl for each of his other teammates.
After everyone finished dinner, Xiao Lou suggested: "It's still a long time until the terminal, why don't we study those banknotes? Did Mr. Shao bring them?"
"Of course." Shao Qingge opened suitcase No. 1, which was indeed filled with cash.
In order to prevent the banknotes from moving during the dragging process and causing confusion in the order, Shao Qingge filled the vacant positions in the box with white paper of similar thickness. Therefore, the arrangement of banknotes in the suitcase is exactly the same as that of a one-meter-high safe.
.
"We put the banknotes in in the original order, and we didn't find any other patterns," Shao Qingge said.
"Let's take it apart and take a look." Xiao Lou took the first stack of banknotes in the upper left corner. After untying the white straps that bound the banknotes, Xiao Lou spread the 100 banknotes on the ground and looked at them one by one.
His teammates also leaned over to watch carefully.
For comparison, Shao Qingge simply summoned an [ATM self-service teller machine] on the spot, took out a few more star coins, and gave one to each of his teammates.
Holding the banknotes that Shao Qingge had just taken out in their left hands, everyone squatted next to the banknotes spread out on the floor in Xiao Lou, comparing details bit by bit. The scene was like playing a game of "find the fault".
Tang Ci concluded: "The designs are all the same. On the front is the portrait of the founding emperor of the Luoke Empire, and on the back is the face value of 1,000, rugged Braille, and the banknote number."
Yu Hanjiang suddenly said: "Look at the lower right corner of the banknotes. There are differences in the anti-counterfeiting marks."
Among this group of people, Yu Hanjiang is undoubtedly the one with the best observation skills. After all, he is a criminal policeman. He has encountered many criminals in his previous cases and is quite sensitive to anti-counterfeiting signs.
In the interstellar era, few people use banknotes anymore. The ID card on their wrist is bound to a bank card, and they can be paid by scanning it directly. But banknotes are hard currency after all, and banks will definitely have reserves, and banknotes must be marked with anti-counterfeiting marks, otherwise
The introduction of large-scale drugs will destroy the market economy.
Hearing Yu Hanjiang's words, everyone turned the banknotes to the back. Ye Qi quickly discovered this: "The colors of the light are different? The banknotes left by Mr. Shao, the light of the anti-counterfeiting mark changes horizontally, and it was just removed from the ATM machine
The banknotes taken out changed vertically?"
Yu Hanjiang nodded: "There will be light-changing ink on the banknotes to prevent copying and counterfeiting. The anti-counterfeiting ink of these two versions of star coins is printed in different ways, so the angle of color change under light will be different. Mr. Tang, could you please check it out?
Has the empire made any announcements about the revision of star coins in recent years?”
Tang Ci took out his portable optical computer and quickly told everyone the result: "There are a total of four editions of banknotes issued since the founding of the empire. The one in the safe is the third edition, and the fourth edition of banknotes was issued in August 2975.
, it has been used to this day, and this is the version I just took out from the ATM machine."
Xiao Lou quickly realized the crux of the problem: "In other words, the banknotes left by Mr. Shao were the third edition. This edition stopped printing in August 2975. Starting from August, all new edition banknotes were issued.
, wants to take out old banknotes with a face value of 7.5 million from the bank, and prove that he took out these banknotes before August 2975?"
After the new version of banknotes is issued in large quantities, the old version will stop printing, and it is impossible to withdraw the entire 7.5 million old version of banknotes from the bank. Then, the only explanation is that Shao Qingge's father had already withdrawn 7.5 million of the old version of banknotes before the new version of banknotes was issued.
cash and deposited in a safe.
The date of July 15, 2975 indicated by the placement of the coins coincided with the time when he withdrew the cash. At that time, the new version of banknotes had not yet been issued, so what he took out was naturally the old version.
Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou and analyzed: "This also proves our speculation about the date. July 15, 2975, must be the time when the Noah's Ark project was first launched. Mr. Shao doesn't know why.
For what reason, a large amount of banknotes were taken out of the bank when the plan was launched, and were left as clues to Shao Qingge."
He must have been uneasy or had a bad premonition about this plan, so he took precautions and left a clue in advance.
Xiao Lou suddenly asked: "Mr. Shao, do you remember when your father passed away?"
Shao Qingge thought for a moment and said, "It should have been 18 years ago, shortly after the Noah's Ark project was restarted."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Ye Qi again and said: "Ye Qi's biological parents also died shortly after Ye Qi was born 18 years ago. According to the information, they died in a battle on the front line, but I always feel that something is wrong
It’s not that simple. I saw Ye Qi’s father’s name in the signature of the Noah’s Ark restart plan.”
Ye Qi scratched his head and said: "I have no impression of my parents at all. I grew up in an orphanage since I was a child."
Shao Qingge frowned and pressed his temples. He suddenly remembered the reason why he adopted Ye Qi in the first place - that year, he went to the orphanage to do charity and donated a sum of money to the orphanage. Ye Qi, as a representative of the children
, went on stage to give him flowers. Shao Qingge, who was still very young at the time, saw the child's clear eyes and felt inexplicably familiar, so he adopted Ye Qi.
Shao Qingge looked at Ye Qi: "Ignore all our past experiences, just in this secret room, we didn't know each other at first. I adopted you because you are Ye Bowen's son, and I have met your biological father."
This sentence was quite convoluted, but Ye Qi quickly understood: "It means that the fact that you are my adoptive father is not a random arrangement, but involves some clues about the Noah's Ark plan? Your father,
Both my biological father and I participated in this plan? And you have also met my biological father?"
Shao Qingge nodded: "Yes, although the impression is not clear, your biological father must have been to my house and had a dispute with my father. I was very young at that time and did not hear what they said. I only heard them talking.
Quarreling. What is certain is that they all died unexpectedly in those two years. My father was in a car accident, and your parents died on the front line."
Xiao Lou frowned slightly: "Could it be that the death of your parents was not an accident?"
Yu Hanjiang asked: "Where is the list?"
Shao Qingge also took out his portable optical computer and enlarged the downloaded Noah's Ark restart plan in front of everyone.
There are more than a dozen names on the signature page. In addition to the directors of the investor Noah Medical Technology Company, there are also several important senior officials from the Imperial Academy of Sciences and the Military Ministry...
Yu Hanjiang suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. He looked at Tang Ci, who understood and quickly typed these names into his brain to search, but the results of the search made Tang Ci's expression change.
He said solemnly: "Mr. Shao died in a car accident on August 10, 2982; Major General Ye Bowen died in September of the same year; Professor Qi Zhao of the Academy of Sciences died of poisoning in the laboratory in November of the same year; the scientist Liang Lu also
Died of sudden heart attack in November..."
Every time he pronounced a name, the faces of his teammates became uglier.
After he read out the death news of nine people in succession, Ye Qi couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Are they all dead?"
Tang Ci said: "There is only one left, Lin Yan's mother, Professor Zhang Shaohua."
Yu Hanjiang frowned: "Except for Professor Zhang, all other insiders were silenced eighteen years ago. This is the case that Hongtao needs to investigate in this secret room - we can't even find the body of the deceased."
When investigating a case, if there is a body, we can at least deduce the cause and time of death. Only when we arrive at the crime scene can we find various evidence and clues left by the suspect...
But now, the nine dead people have been turned into nine urns and buried in the cemetery.
The crime scene was completely destroyed.
A serial murder case without a body was a case from 18 years ago?!
Lu Jiuchuan had a headache and held his forehead: "How to check this?"
Everyone's eyes turned to Yu Hanjiang. The old case from 18 years ago was much more difficult than sending everyone to the crime scene for an autopsy to find the murderer.
Yu Hanjiang thought about it carefully and said: "This case cannot use the previous thinking to investigate the social relationships, grievances and causes of death of the deceased - no matter how they died, in the final analysis, they must have been silenced. Therefore, we only need to start from the plan
Start by yourself and investigate those who are still alive, the secrets of the Noah's Ark plan and the forces behind it."
Ye Qi said: "Ms. Zhang Shaohua, Lin Yan's mother that Teacher Qu is checking, is the only one alive among the signatures. Will she know some clues?"
Yu Hanjiang shook his head: "Since everyone else has been silenced, it is impossible for them to leave only this hidden danger. I speculate that Ms. Zhang is most likely to be hypnotized and does not remember the past. The reason why the silencer let her go is because of her
She is General Lin’s wife, maybe General Lin is protecting her, or maybe His Majesty is giving General Lin a favor.”
His Majesty?
It is not unexpected for Yu Hanjiang to mention this person. Although His Majesty is not on the list, this plan will definitely be related to His Majesty. Otherwise, how can we explain the several prince clones in the palace?
Xiao Lou glanced at the star coins on the ground.
Similar in color to RMB, 100 pink banknotes were laid out on the ground in order.
Apart from the fact that the anti-counterfeiting mark is different from the current banknotes, confirming that this is the third edition of the star coins issued before 2975, are there any other clues on the banknotes?
He squatted down and carefully looked at the front and back of the banknote.
Suddenly, Xiao Lou said: "There is something wrong with the serial number of the banknotes."
To be continued...
