Survival Paradox [Infinite]

After more than [-] hours of flying, and another two hours of connecting flights in London, Wei arrived in Edinburgh late at [-] o'clock in the local evening.

The sunset in the high latitude area is brilliant and magnificent, but it makes the land even more lonely.

Wei Chi checked into the reserved hotel, arranged tomorrow's itinerary, and washed up, and it was almost ten o'clock.It was already dark.His room had a window facing the pine forest, and outside he could see the hazy shadows of trees in the white mist.

The body was too tired, but he couldn't sleep. He sat in front of the window for a long time in a daze, his thinking seemed to have stagnated, and he couldn't think about anything.

"boom!"

A group of black shadows suddenly hit the window, Wei Chi was startled, the chair fell backwards, and he fell down.

Again?

He had a chill, and the cold sweat had already wet his back. Before he had time to think about it, he got up and rushed out the door.

This small hotel is very old-fashioned, with a wooden structure, and there was a "creaking" sound when he stepped on the floor. He didn't dare to look back, and rushed all the way to the lobby. The proprietress was sitting on the sofa, knitting a sweater and watching TV. He said in English with a strong accent: "Hey! Young man! This is an old house! Be quiet!"

Wei Chi was still in shock: "Something hit my window!"

"Probably squirrels, they are always confused." The old lady giggled for a while, "But they must be more courageous than you!"

Wei Chi paused, took out his phone, but there was no signal.

He felt sweat drip down his chin.

The old lady looked at him again, her glasses slipped to the tip of her nose: "You don't look well, do you need any help?"

Wei Chi wiped his chin, calmed down a little, and asked, "Maybe you have a WiFi signal here?"

"We are a small place here, there is no such thing."

Yu|~Xi "Go back to your room! Young man!" The old lady looked back at the TV, "Be quiet!"

Wei Chi returned to the room and found that he had the Internet.

He reacted and felt that his brain had been broken.

This is in the UK. He rented a mobile WiFi before going abroad, but he didn't bring it with him when he rushed out. It's not that there is no signal at such a distance-it's a big oolong incident.

He rubbed his face again, feeling a sudden pain in his temple.

He went to check the window and saw nothing special, only the hideous tree shadows in the white mist outside.

And the cry of crows.

He checked the lock of the window, closed the curtains, went back to bed, dimmed the lights, and tried to fall asleep again, but still couldn't fall asleep, so he took out his mobile phone and checked Moments.

The first one comes from Xu Baishi, and it's an official love announcement——with Hu Tianqi.

The official love announcement of high school students consists of nine pictures, six selfies of Xu Baishi himself, a bouquet of roses, a shadow of holding hands, and a screenshot of an email.Accompanying text: Excellent Mr. Hu.

Wei Chi clicked on the screenshot.

The sender is an authoritative journal in the field of natural science in China, and the content is probably "Congratulations on your article being selected for the next issue".Although Hu Tianqi used a pseudonym, but—combined with the meaning of Xu Baishi's circle of friends—of course it was Hu Tianqi.

It is of course something to show off that a high school student can publish an article in a journal of this level.

Coincidentally, the chief judge of this publication is Gao Weichi's senior brother for two terms, and it happens to be working hours in China, so Weichi easily obtained the content of Hu Tianqi's manuscript.

It is an article about "biological principles in the field of quantum mechanics". The arguments are rough, but the logic and ideas are very exciting, which is quite extensive for a high school student's knowledge.

Wei Chi felt that he could vaguely grasp the outline of the truth.

The next day, Wei Chi got up early in the morning and went to Heriot-Watt University - the alma mater that Ji Jingzhe mentioned.

Before coming, Wei Chi had already checked Ji Jingzhe's student status file and the student list of Heriot-Watt University. Ji Jingzhe did have enrollment records and graduation records, and there seemed to be no flaws on paper, so Wei Chi came here in person.

He found Ji Jingzhe's class on the "alumni wall" in the school corridor - I don't know whether to say it was unexpected or unexpected, probably more than expected - Ji Jingzhe is not in the photo.

To be on the safe side, he also checked with a student in this class - he found several names on the photo wall through ins, and after contacting him, he confirmed that one of them was working as a barista not far from the school, so he went to find people.

Probably because the life in Edinburgh is too leisurely and peaceful, and everyone is panicking, so they are very enthusiastic.After confirming that he did not remember You Ji Jingzhe, the barista also contacted three classmates on the spot to identify the photo of Ji Jingzhe provided by Wei Chi. In the words of one of their female classmates, it is "a person who looks like this." I can remember it forever when I see it.”It was finally confirmed that Ji Jingzhe was not present in their brewing department in the last three sessions and the next three sessions.

After bidding farewell to the barista who wanted to keep him for dinner, Wei Chi had no choice but to embark on an illegal path, although his time had already passed—hacked into the account of Aunt Ji Jingzhe, and found out who A transfer record.

He can do it, and now it can only be said that he has grown even more.

In fact, he could continue to check back then, but he stopped when he found out that the money was remitted to a personal account in the UK - he thought it was Aunt Ji calling Ji Jingzhe's tuition and living expenses.

This time, through cross-comparison, he locked the account holder——Jin Yue, a Chinese.

Soon he found a group photo of Jin Yue and Aunt Ji on the Internet, confirmed that they were college classmates, and then successfully found Jin Yue's ins account.

Jin Yue seems to be a housewife, her husband is an Englishman, she has a small villa with a garden, and she has a golden retriever.

Wei Chi sent her a private message: Do you know Ji Hongyan?

Ji Hongyan is the name of Aunt Ji Jingzhe.

After posting these words, he didn't sit still. He looked for landmark buildings in Jin Yue's life photos, roughly determined her living area, checked the traffic route, and went to the scene to arrest her.

While waiting for the bus, he suddenly felt a little dizzy, probably because he didn't sleep and didn't eat breakfast all night, and his blood sugar was low.He crouched down on the platform, hugged himself, and curled up into a ball.

There was darkness and flowers before his eyes, he thought of Ji Jingzhe for a while, and thought of Zhou Yingchun for a while.

She should be in Europe now, should I look for her too?

But why?

Why?

Why do you have to hide something from him from his closest relatives?

Suddenly the phone vibrated.

Jin Yue replied.

Jim: Of course I do!Are you a friend of Hongyan?

Wei Chi replied: I'm in Edinburgh now, can I see you?

Jim: Of course!

After confirming his location, Jin Yue quickly sent an address.

Wei Chi didn't expect Jin Yue to have such a reaction, but he didn't have time to think about it, so he set off for that address while he was feeling better.

The address Jin Yue gave was a coffee shop, and it was indeed within the scope of her life analyzed by Wei Chi, and Wei Chi took the bus directly to it.

Wei arrived at the coffee shop late, and easily recognized Jin Yue—a Chinese woman dressed softly and well, about the same age as Aunt Ji, but with a completely different temperament.

What Wei Chi didn't expect was that Jin Yue recognized him all of a sudden.

Probably because they are all Chinese, he thought.

"sit down."

Jin Yue invited him to take a seat opposite: "What would you like to drink?"

Wei Chi glanced at the menu, and ordered a random coffee.

Jin Yue said to the waiter, "Wait a minute." Then she turned around and said to Wei Chi in Chinese, "Your complexion is not very good...is it hypoglycemia?"

Wei Chi: "A little bit."

"Then I suggest you change to a different kind of coffee, or order milk." Jin Yue said, "The coffee you ordered contains very little sugar, and it may excite the sympathetic nerves and aggravate your symptoms."

Wei Chi didn't care much about this issue, so he said, "Then milk."

The waiter left.

Being interrupted like this, Wei Chi suddenly didn't know where to start.

"You look anxious." Jin Yue frowned, "Did something happen to Ji Hongyan?"

"No." Wei Chi thought for a while and said, "I don't mean to offend, I just want to ask you to confirm something."

Jin Yue: "Tell me."

Wei Chi found that he had no energy left to think about the words, so he simply said, "As far as I know, Ji Hongyan will remit you two sums of money every year between 2016 and 2021. I want to know where the money goes."

Jin Yue remained expressionless: "What right do you have to know its whereabouts?"

"Because this money is not Ji Hongyan's own property, but the inheritance left to her nephew by her nephew's deceased parents." Wei Chi regained his rhythm, "Theoretically, she has no right to use this money, if it is proved to be Illegal, you, as the payee, have the responsibility to explain where it goes."

At this time the waiter came up and served Wei Chi milk.

Still calm, Jin Yue took two pieces of paper for Wei Chi, then turned around and thanked the waiter.

When the waiter left, she nodded at Wei Chi: "Let's have a drink first."

Wei Chi: "I want you to answer my question."

Jin Yue sighed slightly: "What did Ji Hongyan say?"

"She said that Ji Jingzhe was studying in England, and I took it for granted that the money would be Ji Jingzhe's tuition and living expenses." Wei Chi said, "But in fact Ji Jingzhe didn't go to school in Heri."

Jin Yue: "I think you should have seen his graduation certificate."

Wei Chi: "Certificate and experience are not the same thing."

Jin Yue took a sip of coffee, lit another cigarette, took a puff, and said, "If you have hypoglycemia, I won't give it to you."

Wei Chi: "Thank you, I don't smoke."

Jin Yue nodded, took another puff of the cigarette, exhaled it slowly, and said, "But he has already returned to China, haven't you seen it?"

Wei Chi was about to answer when he suddenly felt something was wrong—he only briefly mentioned Ji Jingzhe's name, and Jin Yue used "he" twice to refer to Ji Jingzhe. This way of speaking showed that she and Ji Jingzhe were actually very close. familiar.

And he was surprised that he seemed to be brought into her rhythm without knowing it.

not like this.

He said seriously, "Ma'am, tell me about the money."

Jin Yue smoked the cigarette slowly and said, "Can I make a phone call?"

Wei Chi said: "You better not."

Jin Yue laughed, and suddenly asked, "Are you Wei Chi?"

"how do you know?"

"I often hear Xiao Ji mentioning you."
