Gu Nianzhi patiently watched from the beginning. She had only caught a glimpse of it just now, so she hadn't noticed many details.
Gu Nianzhi chatted with He Zhichu as she watched the video on her laptop.
"Young Master He, what did you think of this matter back then?"
He Zhichu sat leisurely on the sofa next to her. He leaned over and picked up a mango from the coffee table in front of him. He cut it open with a knife and drew a cross on the flesh as he said, "Aren't you angry if I tell you?"
"Why should I be angry?" Gu Nianzhi tilted her head to look at him and smiled. "As long as it's the truth, I won't be angry."
"Okay." He Zhichu nodded. His hand holding the fruit knife paused for a moment, as if he was thinking about where to start.
His eyebrows were very black and neat, and his eyelashes were long and thick. From the side, his pair of shimmering almond-shaped eyes made him look flirtatious.
After a while, he slowly said, "On the surface, there's only one person in the entire country, or rather, the entire world, who can make you disappear from a heavily guarded hall full of guests in seven seconds. That person is your father, Gu Xiangwen."
Gu Nianzhi instinctively wanted to nod, but she quickly realized that she shouldn't. She smiled embarrassedly and said, "… Really? So you're just making guesses without evidence? "
"Am I the kind of person who would convict people based on guesses?" He Zhichu glanced at her and placed the sliced mango on a small bone china plate before placing it in front of her. "If you still remember the contents of the video, you'll know that Gu Xiangwen's note will arrive very soon. And only Gu Xiangwen is good at that kind of superb hypnosis. "
Gu Nianzhi lowered her head silently and used a small fork to eat the mango He Zhichu had peeled for her.
He Zhichu patted her head and continued, "Then, after we chased after them, we did see a car drive away. I heard from passers-by that a man did get into the car with a little girl."
"But even so, disappearing in seven seconds, leaving the He family's mansion in ten minutes, and getting into the car at the intersection. How did they do it?" Gu Nianzhi swallowed a mouthful of the fragrant and sweet mango. Her taste buds were soothed, and she narrowed her eyes slightly. She was as obedient as a cute little Scottish fold cat.
He Zhichu scoffed and said, "We didn't understand this at the time, but from the results of our investigation, the only thing that could make you suddenly disappear was probably the magnetic resonance instrument."
"We found the magnetic resonance device at the place where Gu Xiangwen was hiding. At the time, we saw him laughing maniacally in the fire with our own eyes. There was a car in the fire, and you were in the car." He Zhichu's eyes dimmed. "… I saw you and that car being engulfed in flames with my own eyes. Do you understand how I felt at the time?"
Gu Nianzhi, "…"
She pursed her lips and brought the bone porcelain plate with mangoes to He Zhichu. She blinked her big bright eyes and said, "… For you to eat? Would that make you feel better? "
He Zhichu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He rubbed her head. "I don't eat such sweet things. You eat them yourself."
Gu Nianzhi smiled and put down the bone porcelain plate. She smiled and said, "You make a lot of sense, but there are a few loopholes."
"First of all, the magnetic resonance device is a channel that connects two parallel universes. It can't be used to teleport in the same space-time."
"If I had immediately gone to the other world from the He family's birthday party, it would have made sense to use the magnetic resonance device to explain it."
"But according to your description, I went to the other world more than a month after the birthday party."
Gu Nianzhi took a tissue and wiped the juice off her hands. She was deep in thought. "So the option of using the magnetic resonance device to leave the He family can be ruled out."
He Zhichu frowned. "The magnetic resonance device can't be used to teleport in the same space-time? Who told you that? "
Gu Nianzhi's big eyes darted around. Of course, she didn't say that Lu Jin had told her …
She had been recuperating with Lu Jin for more than a month. When she was bored, Lu Jin would teach her about high-energy physics.
And the book "Quantum
Babies ". He also enthusiastically used it as a bedtime story and read a few pages to her every day.
Gu Nianzhi had been recuperating for more than a month, and her knowledge of high-energy physics had improved by leaps and bounds.
Although she still didn't understand it, she could still memorize it.
"It's very simple. Think about it. The principle of the magnetic resonance device is to find the same magnetic field frequency between two magnetic fields. When it reaches the same frequency, it uses the magnetic field resonance to form a spatial channel. And in the same space-time, who does it resonate with? "
Gu Nianzhi told him Lu Jin's theory guiltily.
He Zhichu was also puzzled. "Then if it wasn't a magnetic resonance device, how could you disappear from my side in seven seconds, appear at the door, and then follow someone into the car?"
He lowered his eyes and said lightly, "Even if it wasn't a magnetic resonance device, only Gu Xiangwen could do such a difficult operation."
Gu Nianzhi shrunk her neck. She thought that if she hadn't found out about the twists and turns from Lu Jin, her first reaction would have been the same as He Zhichu and the others.
Only Lu Jin, who was also Gu Xiangwen, could do such a difficult thing.
His image as a scientific genius was too deeply ingrained in people's hearts. He was always the first suspect when something unexplainable happened. What's more, this matter involved his most beloved daughter. It was a perfectly normal reasoning.
From this perspective, it was the right choice for her father to fake his death and hide his identity.
Gu Xiangwen had been "burned to death" in broad daylight and in front of everyone's eyes. If anything happened in the future, he couldn't take the blame for it anymore, right?
Moreover, Gu Xiangwen had indeed interfered in this matter, so even he probably felt that it wasn't unjust to put the blame on him, so he had no intention of explaining at all.
Gu Xiangwen also had a social disorder. It would probably be more difficult for him to explain his actions to others than to kill him.
Therefore, he had never told anyone about the twists and turns.
If Gu Nianzhi hadn't been his daughter, he definitely wouldn't have said a word.
By a freak combination of factors, the culprit behind Gu Nianzhi's disappearance became Gu Xiangwen.
Everyone thought so, and the results later confirmed everyone's guess.
How should they put it?
This wasn't wrong, but it wasn't completely right either.
What Gu Nianzhi wanted to do was to arrest everyone related to her disappearance and make them bear the legal responsibility they deserved.
Gu Xiangwen was her father. Although he had done something wrong, he had already used his actions to atone for his sins. She had long forgiven him.
However, the others were still at large, thinking that no one knew what they had done.
Anyone who harmed Gu Nianzhi wanted to get away with it? That was impossible.
Gu Nianzhi calmed down and calmly watched the virtual holographic projection again.
This time, she used her camera-like memory to memorize the faces of all the guests. She also counted the number of people present.
There were a total of 237 people in the living room. 185 of them were children about her age. They were all dressed in cartoon costumes, including the invited guests and the children who were waiters.
There were 52 adults, including the He family's servants.
Because most of the waiters were children, there weren't many adult servants. There were only seven or eight of them, who were responsible for maintaining order in the living room.
The video played slowly, and finally, it was time to turn off the lights and blow out the candles.
After the lights came on, Gu Nianzhi decisively pressed the pause button. Her gaze scanned the computer screen inch by inch.
When her gaze swept across the still image twice, Gu Nianzhi's heart skipped a beat. She realized something was wrong.
She narrowed her eyes and looked up at He Zhichu. "Young Master He, do you still have the list of everyone present at my birthday party eight years ago? I mean everyone present, including your family's servants. "
He Zhichu glanced at her. "Of course I do. I've read it more than once. What's wrong? Do you think there's a problem with any of them? But I investigated every single one of them after that, including the servants in the living room. I didn't find anything wrong. "
Gu Nianzhi thought to herself that her genius father had probably already succeeded in intercepting her. Of course, He Zhichu wouldn't be able to find anything wrong with these people..
She was a lawyer and knew that she couldn't simply suspect people without evidence.
He Zhichu was also a lawyer, so he naturally understood this very well.
But if he couldn't find anything after that, what about before that?
Gu Nianzhi felt that this was the "blind spot" of the whole matter.
Gu Nianzhi smiled slightly. "I want to watch it again. After all, they were all witnesses at the scene. "
He Zhichu wouldn't refuse such a request. He immediately pulled out the information from the computer's backup and sent it to Gu Nianzhi's email. "Watch it yourself when you have time."
Gu Nianzhi opened the email and saw that the hundreds of pages of information were already lying in the email. She nodded and said to He Zhichu, "There's something wrong with this video."
He Zhichu was surprised. "What's wrong with it? Everyone has investigated it … "
"I know you've investigated it." Gu Nianzhi quickly nodded. "But look here."
Gu Nianzhi's mouse pointed to a spot on the screen. "In the direction diagonally behind you, there's a child wearing a cloak and a mask."
From where He Zhichu was standing at the time, this direction happened to be the blind spot of his vision.
Just like when driving, there was also a fixed blind spot in the driver's vision.
He Zhichu's frown deepened. "Wasn't this child here a long time ago?"
"No." Gu Nianzhi shook her head and quickly rewound the video. "I counted. Before the lights went out, there were 237 people. After the lights went out, there were still 237 people. Do you understand the problem now? "
He Zhichu froze, and his face quickly drained of color. "… You mean, you didn't leave the hall at all!"
"Yes." Gu Nianzhi closed her eyes. "As for the exact number of children, before the lights went out, there were a total of 186 children, including me."
"Among them, there were 185 children wearing cartoon uniforms. I was the only one who didn't wear a cartoon uniform."
"After the lights went out, when the lights came back on, I was gone, but the number of children wearing cartoon uniforms had increased to 186. You can count them again. "
He Zhichu stared blankly at the child wearing a cloak and a mask diagonally behind him in the video. He gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the small coffee table. "This is outrageous!"
He suddenly understood that the inside story of Gu Nianzhi's disappearance eight years ago was far more than what they had discovered.
"… You mean, when you disappeared eight years ago, other than Gu Xiangwen, someone else had a hand in it?!" He Zhichu suddenly stood up. He couldn't wait to make a move.
Gu Nianzhi placed the mouse on the two adults next to the child and said calmly, "And these two people, do you know who they are? From their attire, they should be servants of the He family. Their posture is to surround the child on the left and right. "
This child wearing a cloak and a mask was her, right?
But why was she standing there obediently without crying or screaming?
He Zhichu glanced at the two people Gu Nianzhi was pointing at with the mouse. His expression darkened. "They are Wen Shouyi's parents."
Gu Nianzhi's eyes widened. She couldn't help saying, "Oh my god, what kind of grudge do I have with their family … What are they doing?! By the way, Wen Shouyi's mother insisted on sending flowers to my room just now. I chased her away and locked her up! "
