Chapter 401 Dark Acquisition
"Princess, what happened to you?" Meng Xiaoben gently squeezed the jade hand of the princess across the tea table.

The princess took a sip of tea lightly, and kept saying in a trembling voice: "It's started, after all, it's still a start..."

"What started?" Meng Xiaoben asked in surprise.

"More than ten years have passed. I thought this incident was over, but I didn't expect it to start unstoppably." The princess was still talking nonchalantly.

Meng Xiaoben was at a loss, and became more and more anxious, wanting to know what the princess was talking about?
The princess held Meng Xiaoben's hand tightly with both hands, looked at Meng Xiaoben closely, and said slowly: "I need to tell you this from the beginning. My father was a biology professor at Beijing West University before his death. He is a professor of science and is a good friend of Professor Fujimoto Hashiji. The two of them have been classmates when they were studying in university and doctoral degree. Over the years, they have established a deep friendship. I also recognize Professor Fujimotohashi II as As his own uncle."

"At that time, my father, in cooperation with Professor Fujimoto, was researching a drug against superbugs. It turned out that in the northern mountainous area of ​​the island country, there was a strange flower growing in the Sakata area of ​​the coastal road. Its leaves were not green, but Deep purple. This is a perennial herb that blooms small yellow flowers every summer. It generally grows in mountainous areas above 500 meters above sea level, but the number is not large, even in the entire northern mountainous area, it is relatively rare. Local Farmers have used it as an anti-inflammatory medicine for generations. If the body is injured and the wound is festered, as long as you take a leaf of this flower and plant, the wound will be anti-inflammatory within half an hour. It is very miraculous, so the local farmers put it It's called Emperor Grass."

"The local county annals has historical records about it, and the county annals call it Mandala codongrass. Botanically, it belongs to the genus Sedum sedum. It is very drought-tolerant. It is a succulent plant, a perennial fleshy herb with a stem Very short but upright, the leaves are arranged in a spindle shape, the surface is always covered with a layer of white powder, and its flowers are scorpio-shaped. My father and Professor Fujimoto have conducted long-term research on it, hoping to purify it from its leaves Antibacterial components are produced, and then artificially synthesized to create a powerful antibiotic against superbugs."

"My father and Professor Fujimoto have put all their energy into this great research work. Obviously, if this research work achieves results, there is no problem with winning the Nobel Prize. Its huge medical value is simply inestimable After more than ten years of painstaking research, the two of them have already gained a very important understanding of the mechanism and chemical components of the superbacteria inhibition of mandala. According to the progress at that time, if the research work continues for one or two years, it will It will be done."

"But at this time, an incredible thing happened. A medicinal material company in Jingxi City suddenly purchased a large number of mandala codon grass in the mountainous area of ​​Jinkaido. The price they offered was terrible. The mountain people dug up a tree Mandala codon grass can be sold for 8000 million island coins, which is equivalent to 80 yuan. Driven by the interests, the local mountain people put down their farm work and went up the mountain to look for mandala codon grass. In this way, just passed In a week, the local mandala grass was almost dug up."

"Because Professor Fujimotohashiji's younger brother is a policeman in the local mountain area, Professor Fujimotohashiji got the news when the acquisition operation just started. At that time, Mr. Fujimotohashiji paid a high price to the local villagers through his brother I bought two mandala sagegrass and kept them secretly at home. In order to stop this kind of extinct procurement that destroys the biological balance, Mr. Fujimoto Hashiji and my father jointly disclosed the matter to the media. Once the media reported it, it aroused awareness in the island country. In response to the common anger of the people, the local council passed a law in time to immediately prohibit the digging and purchase of mandala.

"However, it was too late. The mandala sage has been dug up. In the whole mountainous area, there is no more mandala. Fortunately, my father and Mr. Fujimoto Hashiji, in their experiment There are still three mandala codon plants growing in the laboratory, and they can barely continue their scientific research, but their research has been affected to a certain extent, because they no longer have enough specimens to carry out some chemical experiments, so their research Work is starting to slow down."

"In order to continue the research smoothly, my father and Professor Fujimoto started to prepare to propagate the mandala. They built a greenhouse in their laboratory, imitating the temperature and environment of the local mountainous area, and began to cultivate it. But this The progress of this work is very slow, after all, the environment in the laboratory is somewhat different from the environment in the mountains. Therefore, they have been cultivating for more than a year, and only two survived."

"They were originally cultivating in secret. Later, for some unknown reason, their cultivation of this kind of flower was revealed. My father and the professor who defected both received threatening letters, asking them to immediately terminate the research on mandala. , destroy the specimens, or make them look good."

"My father and Professor Fujimoto did not give in to their threats at all. Instead, they accelerated their progress and carried out scientific research day and night. The threat from the other party escalated. Once, Professor Fujimoto was walking on the street when two masked men rushed over He was punched and kicked, and he was admitted to the hospital, and my father's car was smashed several times. The threat letter left by the other party warned the two professors that if they did not stop the research immediately, kill them all,"

"My father and Professor Fujimoto asked the police to solve the case as soon as possible. But for some reason, the police did not make any progress in solving the case. There may be a dark inside story. Later, a well-meaning policeman hinted to my father that this matter was done by the Valley Group, and the police station is simply powerless. If anyone wants to actively solve the case, he will soon Dead on the street."

"My father is very confused. The Valley Group is a drug cartel. They monopolize four-fifths of the drug market in the entire island country. Drugs bring them tens of billions of billions of huge profits every year. How can they participate in medicine? In the field of research? This is unlikely!"

"The Mitani group threatened my father and Professor Fujimoto more and more, but they didn't give in to them and continued to work on that research. The Valley group finally started. One night, the two of them were doing experiments in the laboratory, Suddenly, a dozen masked men rushed in, holding knives, guns and sticks, and smashed all the experimental equipment in the laboratory. They rummaged around, collected all the experimental materials, and lit a fire on the ground. "
