When the call was about to broadcast "The number you dialed is currently unavailable, please call again later", Mingying suddenly picked up the call. Her tone was still so cold, and she was very concerned about the leakage of my whereabouts and the consequences it would bring to me.
She didn't apologize at all for the trouble, as if it was a matter of course. She asked me to meet at the Starbucks coffee shop in Changning Longzhimeng at 7 o'clock tonight.
I could only agree.
Cafe at 7 o'clock...Is this girl reluctant to treat me to a meal? It seems like she has no apology at all.
I arrived at Changning Longzhimeng at 6 o'clock. This blue sailboat-shaped building is only separated from my alma mater by Zhongshan Park. When I was a graduate student, I often came here to visit the supermarket and eat with friends, so I was familiar with it.
Very well. First, I finished my dinner hastily at KFC, then went to the Starbucks coffee shop on the first floor to wait for Mingying.
At 7 o'clock sharp, she appeared at the door of the coffee shop on time, almost to the minute.
Her eyes were very sharp, and she caught sight of me sitting in the corner. She came over and said, "You don't have to go to work starting tomorrow. We have made arrangements for your company, and I will work as your girlfriend tomorrow.
Go to your company to send a sick note and ask for leave for one month."
I was stunned for a while. Unless the one-month leave application form was issued by a regular municipal hospital, the unit would not recognize it at all. So I asked: "Which hospital? What disease?"
"Chest hospital. Arrhythmia." She said as she pulled out a chair and sat down.
Okay. When I meet such a group of weird guys, it is totally normal for me to have arrhythmia. This disease is made up to be logical.
Mingying said: "I saw you in the Lugong Postal Market this morning. You were walking around stupidly, and I could see your true face at a glance. You still have to learn the art of disguise.
This girl still has the same temper, and she tried to seduce me as soon as she came. But indeed, I walked around for so long, but I didn't recognize her disguise. It seems that she is better than me in this aspect.
"However, I didn't expect you to save something. The broken bottle is a bit shabby, but it is also a stupid idea. What, you have passed the test?"
Seeing that she was chatting so directly and had no intention of spending money here. I stood up and said, "Let's talk about it later. What do you want to drink?"
"Big Mocha."
I bought a cup of vanilla Frappuccino and a cup of mocha coffee, brought them to the table, and said softly: "Please use them."
She reluctantly squeezed out a "hmm" from her nose, picked up the cup and took a big sip.
Okay, you're so thirsty, why don't you want to buy a drink? If you're worried about the money, why don't you make an appointment to meet at the door of the Du Ke tea shop outside?
It's not that I'm not a gentleman, I just think she made me nervously look for Xiao Luqi's body and involved me in such a complicated situation. She really should treat me to a drink.
I sat down and said, "What test are you talking about?"
Mingying said how do I know? Organizations have to test people when they are looking for work.
My heart trembled. Could it be that this farce of stealing corpses in the afternoon was actually a test? Could it be that the loopholes in Mrs. Yin's speech were intentional? Could it be that the water on the ground and the quilt hanging on the pole were...
Are they all clues left intentionally?
Never mind it. These people must have had nothing to do, so they made the test look like a real-life Sherlock Holmes. I inserted the straw, took a sip of the ice sludge, chewed it in my mouth, and asked: "
What do you know about that painting?"
Mingying took out a picture from her bag, spread it on the table, and said, "Have you seen this?"
I went over to take a look. The picture was divided into two colors: blue and yellow. The yellow part had a blue triangular gap on the top and one on the bottom.
"This...is this Shanghai? This," I pointed to the gap above, "is this the mouth of the Yangtze River? Is this the Hangzhou Bay?"
Mingying nodded.
I suddenly said: "That's not right. Although these two entrances to the sea are correct...but this map is completely different from the current map of Shanghai, isn't it?"
"What a fuss. Have you never heard of the word vicissitudes of life?" She said calmly with a nonchalant tone.
"Could this be a map of ancient Shanghai? After years of changes, the shape of Shanghai is no longer what it used to be?"
"Mind the fuss about that, this area, for some unknown reason, sank during the Song Dynasty." She pointed to the upper part of Hangzhou Bay with a disdainful tone.
"Then this area," I pointed to the blue article in the east of Shanghai, "it looks like it used to be the sea, but now it is land. Could it be places like Pudong and Nanhui now?"
"Asking even though you know it."
"Where is Kangcheng?" I asked quickly, "Is it the part that sank?"
She said yes, this piece of land has now sunk to the bottom of the sea. The three hilltops on this piece of land have now been swallowed up by the sea water, leaving only the top of the hill, turned into three small islands. These are today's Jinshan Three Islands.
"Oh, I've heard a little bit about the Jinshan Three Islands. Aren't these three islands long ago set up as natural ecological reserves, and it's forbidden to go to them?"
"Do you think the purpose of setting up a protected area is to protect the ecology and animals?" Mingying took a sip of coffee and said quietly.
"Is there any unknown secret on these three islands? Is the protected area just a name to protect this secret?"
"I made it so obvious, do you still need to talk nonsense?"
Well...it seems that if you cooperate with this woman, you must withstand the double torture of her poisonous tongue and indifference.
Seeing that I was silent, Mingying coughed lightly and said, "Almost no one knows these news. After Dayu controlled the floods, he ordered a general to build Ninghai City on Huanghua Mountain, south of Wanbu of Wolong River.
, the people here established their own country, called Ninghai Kingdom. During the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Ji Zhao of Zhou Kang built Tokyo City at the foot of Huanghua Mountain. King Ninghai received the favor of King Kang of Zhou, so he renamed Huanghua Mountain Zhaoshan and Wolongjiang to Qinglongjiang.
.After the death of King Kang of Zhou, King Ninghai’s son changed his father’s name to King Kang, and the city of Tokyo was also renamed Kangcheng.”
"Dayu? This was a figure from before the Xia Dynasty, more than 4,000 years ago. I didn't expect that Kangcheng had such a long history?" I couldn't help but be surprised when I heard Mingying say this -
In ancient times, there were not many cities that could be called "Beijing". In the history from the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Luoyang was the central capital, Chang'an was the western capital, and Chengdu was the southern capital... If Kangcheng was called "Tokyo", what would its scale be?
A super metropolis, a super ancient civilization? I licked my lips and said, "How do you know these things? Is it possible that there is a historian within your organization?"
"How do you know?" She said expressionlessly.
"Hey, you admitted it. From your tone before, I thought you were not from the organization."
"How do you know it's not true?" She always had an expressionless face.
"……………………"
Damn it, this woman is so harsh and sarcastic, I can't stand it... I shook my head and continued to ask: "Then when did Kangcheng sink into the sea?"
"After the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the coast in the Jinshan area was pushed up by strong tides and continued to collapse and retreat. By the end of the Tang Dynasty, the coast had retreated to the foot of Jinshan Mountain. And what finally caused Kangcheng to fall into the sea, according to a very secretive history book, was the Southern Song Dynasty
In the eleventh year of Chunxi, there was an earthquake and tsunami."
I listened to Mingying's words with eyes wide open. While she was picking up the coffee to drink, I looked at the map carefully and said, "Earthquake and tsunami? I'm afraid it's not that simple, is it?"
"What's the meaning?"
I pointed to the number on the edge of the map, and it clearly said "30". This number led to a horizontal line that ran through the left and right sides of the map. And the city of Cannes, which no longer exists, is located on this line, evenly.
.
Mingying rarely showed a doubtful expression and looked at me.
Dear readers of this book, if you have read the previous chapters, you will not have the same doubts as Mingying. When I entered Wang Yongshun's office in the morgue, I had read one of his travel magazines.
The page I turned was the Caribbean Sea. When I was writing about it, I once mentioned a very mysterious latitude: the 30th North Latitude of the Earth.
There are countless bizarre events that happened on this latitude. Since they have already been mentioned, I will not repeat them here. Of course, I still selected some of these bizarre events and gave Mingying a sense of accomplishment in literacy.
My heart moved, I took out my mobile phone and looked at it carefully. If the map that has arrived in Chen Ziqi's hands is indeed not the "Wu County Regional Map", but the "Kangcheng Regional Map", judging from that map
Nowadays, the prosperity of this city has exceeded people's imagination - there are not only luxurious and magnificent government buildings, but also countless private houses, shipyards, oil mills and salt mills. Businessmen come and go frequently, and everything is prosperous.
How could such a prosperous coastal city, under the threat of wind, rain, and tides, not have a complete set of tide-proof information systems and facilities after thousands of years of evolution? Just an earthquake and tsunami can completely destroy it and make it
Sinking to the bottom of the sea? Who would believe this? Do you believe it? Anyway, I don’t believe it.
Yes, there must be something hidden here. Just like Atlantis, a prehistoric civilization that is also located on the 30th parallel of north latitude and sunk at the bottom of the sea...
