Genius Club-Chapter 561 - 10 Extreme Reasoning_3
The most important thing was.
The hair of Chu Anqing that had been picked from the trash bag was exactly what was in the pocket of the plainclothes.
Lin Xian reached into his pocket and immediately felt the rectangular, flat plastic bag.
He took it out.
Looking at it under the light above...
"As expected, it’s empty."
Lin Xian was not surprised.
The sealed plastic bag was indeed empty now, without a single hair left inside.
And the seal at the top showed no signs of having been opened, remaining as tightly sealed as ever.
This indicated that even the hairs that Chu Anqing had shed in the moment at 00:42 on March 28, 2024, had also turned into blue stardust and disappeared.
In this world.
Everything that belonged to Chu Anqing’s body, every fragment, had vanished at that moment; transformed into tiny specks of blue stardust, collapsing like a quantum state.
This being the case...
The quantum state collapsing into blue stardust, in some respects, seemed quite similar to space-time particles.
Space-time particles don’t belong to this space-time, thus they can penetrate any physical entity in this universe, just as the blue stardust Chu Anqing turned into could leak from a spacesuit without a trace, or disappear from a sealed plastic bag without a trace.
They are all wondrous substances.
If the Millennium Stakes were like the space-time particles, not belonging to this space-time, this aspect could be clearly explained.
But the problem is...
If the Millennium Stakes, that is, Chu Anqing and Zhang Yuqian, both didn’t belong to this space-time, why didn’t space-time exclusion occur?
Why hadn’t their eyes turned the clear blue of Huang Que?
Why hadn’t they suffered from space-time backlash, grown weak and fallen, becoming transparent like Huang Que?
This was another contradiction!
"So..."
Lin Xian concluded:
"It’s highly likely that the Millennium Stakes and space-time particles are not the same, nor similar, so there’s no common ground between them, and there’s no need to seek similarities or differences."
At this moment, Gao Yang came over with a towel drying his hair, looking at the small plastic bag in Lin Xian’s hand:
"That’s the hair of Chu Anqing you mentioned, right? It’s disappeared as expected, hasn’t it?"
Lin Xian nodded:
"Though I was prepared for it, I still harbored a sliver of hope... until it was confirmed that Zhang Yuqian’s coffin was empty."
Gao Yang squatted down.
He took the tightly sealed plastic bag that had nothing inside:
"Anyway, this rules out any DNA verification. We can’t find Zhang Yuqian’s body, and it’s very likely there isn’t one. With Chu Anqing’s hair gone, the possibility of DNA verification is completely sealed off."
"Eh? Wait a minute."
Gao Yang had a sudden thought:
"Why don’t we directly compare the DNA of Chu Anqing’s parents to that of Zhang Yuqian’s parents? Like begets like; if Chu Anqing and Zhang Yuqian have identical DNA, then Chu Shanhe and that middle-aged gentleman should also match!"
"[It’s meaningless.]"
Lin Xian chuckled wryly:
"Even if they turn out to be different, completely unrelated... what does that prove? Can it prove Chu Anqing and Zhang Yuqian are unrelated? Can it prove they are not the same person? Obviously, this isn’t rigorous, otherwise why would so many people bother with paternity tests."
"Or if the results show that Chu Shanhe and the gentleman have identical DNA, what would that indicate? Can it ensure that Chu Anqing and Zhang Yuqian also share exactly the same DNA? Or does it prove that Chu Shanhe and the gentleman are Millennium Stakes? Or even Millennium Stakes? Then why haven’t they disappeared? Surely they don’t have to wait until they’re 200 years old to vanish?"

"Besides... if you follow that logic, if Chu Shanhe and the gentleman have identical DNA, that means Chu Shanhe’s father and the gentleman’s father also share identical DNA; which means their grandfathers have the same DNA, their great-grandfathers, including great-grandmothers, do too... what kind of biological ghost story is that? Is Chu Shanhe the origin of humanity?"
Gao Yang gave Lin Xian a thumbs-up:
"Your reasoning is brilliant! Logically flawless! So, it’s predetermined that Chu Shanhe and the gentleman do not have the same DNA, otherwise, we’d need to re-examine the origins of humans."
"So, are you saying we’re one step away from unraveling this whole series of events and the reason behind Chu Anqing’s disappearance? That is, to see what role [space-time particles] played in their transformation into blue stardust and their subsequent disappearance."
"Whether it was essential or not; whether their disappearance would have happened with or without them, or if they had to interact with the space-time particles before they could become Millennium Stakes."
"And to clear up this final question... we have only to ask that middle-aged gentleman in the Imperial Capital to reveal the truth about the car accident, even before the accident occurred, and whether Zhang Yuqian cried and babbled nonsensically just like Chu Anqing had that night."
"Exactly."
Lin Xian nodded, looking out the window where the rising crescent moon began to climb:
"Identifying commonalities between Chu Anqing and Zhang Yuqian, deciphering the truth of the Millennium Stakes, we’re just one step away—"
"We need to confirm whether Zhang Yuqian from the year 2000 had any contact with... space-time particles!"
