Chapter 103: An Unexpected Encounter
Since visitors are concentrated on the second floor of the Natural History Museum, the restrooms on the second floor are quite tight.
In life, everyone has a herd mentality, thinking that they will be safer with a group of people. So, everyone is afraid to go to the first floor, preferring to queue up and only want to use the restrooms on the second floor.
In fact, there is no barrier between the first and second floors. If the bandits did get to the first floor, they would only have to walk up a few stairs if they had to go up the second floor.
So, staying on the second floor or the first floor, there is no difference in the risk that everyone faces.
Everyone may understand the truth, but everyone still wants to get together.
Li Jingwei saw that the people in the bathroom on the second floor had already lined up outside the door, so he went down the stairs next to the toilet and prepared to go to the bathroom on the first floor.
Sure enough, the restroom on the first floor was empty, and the entire hallway was empty. After he finished conveniently, he had just finished washing his hands at the sink and was about to open the door to go out, when suddenly someone slammed the door in from the outside.
Fortunately, Li Jingwei reacted quickly, dodged away in time, and stood aside, otherwise he would definitely be hit by someone who came.
The visitor seemed to have no time to stop his body, and fell to the ground at once. He tried, tried several times to get up, but to no avail. Seeing this, Li Jingwei hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and let him sit on the ground.
This man was the one who had just climbed over the fence and entered. At this moment, he didn't expect that he would be so seriously injured that it was difficult to even move.
He glanced at Li Jingwei, who was helping him up, nodded apologetically, and said, "Thank you!"
After a pause, he pointed to a cubicle and said, "Please help me sit down on the toilet." ”
At this time, Li Jingwei also saw that the person who had come was seriously injured, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried when he remembered the gunshots on the road not long ago.
He didn't know if the person in front of him was an injured bandit or an injured innocent passerby. However, upon closer inspection, it seemed that the person in front of him had not received a gunshot wound, and he could not help but be a little confused, as it seemed that he was not the person who participated in the shootout. I saw that there was some mud on the clothes of the visitor, so I guess I had fallen outside.
He hesitated for a moment, but helped the visitor to sit down on the toilet in one of the cubicles, and then said, "Do you need me to call you an ambulance, or take you to the hospital?"
"No need. Striated replied with some difficulty.
He saw Li Jingwei looking like a college student, but he was not flustered and afraid, but stood aside very calmly, and continued:
"You're young, but you're a very calm person, and you're good. I'm no longer good, and it's useless for an ambulance to come. Don't worry, I'm not the gunman on the road just now. I'm just a dying man now. ”
"Do you need me to help you do anything, do you want to call the security guards in?" Li Jingwei heard it, and there was despair in the words of the visitor, and he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for him. But the other party didn't say, and he didn't want to ask what happened first.
"No need. Are you Chinese, or are you an international student?," Hengwen asked.
"I'm Chinese, but I've graduated and work at MIT. Li Jingwei replied truthfully. There's nothing to hide from that.
Hengwen looked at Li Jingwei and hesitated, but still said: "I want to ask you for one thing, I hope you can promise me." ”
"Tell me, I'm not sure if I can do it. Li Jingwei replied.
If he can do it, he is willing to help someone fulfill his unfulfilled wishes. But if you can't do it, you can't say yes.
Seeing that Li Jingwei did not agree, Hengwen had more confidence in his decision.
Li Jingwei's answer made him feel that this was a person who said that he would be fruitful. I won't just promise others, but if I do, I will definitely find a way to do it. This should be someone to trust.
Hengwen first took off a necklace with a heart-shaped pendant from his neck, then took off a diamond ring from his left ring finger, and finally took off the watch on his wrist and handed it to Li Jingwei.
Seeing this, Li Jingwei thought that he was paying for his help, and hurriedly said, "You don't have to give me these." If I can do it, I'll do my best. ”
"It's not for you. This is what I want you to pass on to my wife and children. Ahem....... Striated coughed a few times, then continued:
"Please give the ring to my wife and tell her I'm sorry for not protecting her. Give the watch to my son, hoping that he will remember me as an incompetent father in the future. The necklace was given to my daughter to tell her that Daddy would bless her in heaven. ”
As he said these words, tears flowed involuntarily. He didn't know at all that Meisha and the two children would be able to escape from the encirclement and interception of the Japanese Black Dragon Society, and he didn't even hold out any hope.
Now, when he says this to Li Jingwei, it is not so much that he still has expectations in his heart, but rather a kind of psychological comfort for himself, and it also makes his death more reassuring.
"Then how can I find your wife and child?" Li Jingwei is young after all, although he looks very calm on the outside, he still can't bear to see the helplessness and desolation of a big man who explains the aftermath like this.
At the same time, he didn't know what to say to comfort the other party, so he could only try his best to help the other party fulfill his unfulfilled wish in the future.
Hearing Li Jingwei's question, Hengwen was also sad in his heart. He didn't know where to find it, so how could he answer Li Jingwei's question.
He smiled wryly and said, "My wife's name is Meisha Hittel, and she is still in Japan, and she is on the run with her two children. The son's name is Ryan, who is ten years old, and his daughter's name is Charlotte, who is seven years old. I don't know if they'll be able to escape, and I don't know where they'll go when they do. So, I can't answer your question. ”
"Then how should I transfer your relics? Is there any other way to contact us?" Li Jingwei was at a loss when he heard this. If you can't even find someone, how can you hand over the goods?
"Mei Sha and I have a secret method of communication, but after today, we will definitely be monitored by S.H.I.E.L.D., so we must not use it again, otherwise it will also cause you great trouble. I also told Meisha that this communication method should only be used once, and it must not be used again. "When he is dying, there is nothing to hide. He went on to say:
However, seven years later, June 13 is the 80th anniversary of the birth of Meisa's parents and the 30th anniversary of their death. I think that if Meisa escapes, she will definitely go to the grave of her parents to pay her respects. ”
Meisa's parents are buried in the Haneda Cemetery near Sensoji Temple in Tokyo, Japan. So, please find a way to go when the time comes. To be honest, I don't have much hope. Everything depends on God's arrangement. ”
Although he said that, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.
"Well, I promise you, seven years from June 13th, I will definitely go to Haneda Cemetery. Li Jingwei looked at the horizontal striped eyes and said seriously.
He has always made a promise and will do what he says. Now that I have promised the horizontal stripes, I will definitely go in the future.
Hengwen looked at the young man in front of him, and he didn't know why, he trusted him very much in his heart, which can also be said to be an intuition.
Sometimes, it's just so strange that you may not trust each other completely when you spend a lot of time with you. And some people, you only see one face, and after a few short words, you will trust the other person unconditionally.
At this moment, Li Jingwei gives this feeling to the horizontal lines. So, he's relieved now.
Hengwen took out a sheepskin map from the inner pocket of his clothes, handed it to Li Jingwei, and then said: "This is a treasure map, which is what the various forces are fighting for each other today. The gunfire you just heard was caused by it. ”
"Frankly, I don't know if it's real or not, and even if it's a treasure map, no one knows if it's still there. I'm giving it to you today, and don't let anyone know about it, or you'll get a lot of trouble for you. ”
"This time, it was also because of this treasure map that I ended up like this. It's not because I'm greedy for treasure. I'm just a pawn abandoned by S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Black Dragon Society of Japan. If you crack the secret of the treasure map one day, don't tell anyone, remember. “
When Li Jingwei heard this, he felt that the matter was very important, and he immediately wanted to return the treasure map in his hand to Hengwen, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, this is something you exchanged for your life, I really can't accept it." Please take it back. ”
Suddenly, he realized that this treasure map was probably the treasure map that the Clober family had traded with S.H.I.E.L.D., that is, the treasure map about the treasures in the shipwrecks of the Ming Dynasty.
Li Jingwei really wanted to get this treasure map, not for the treasure in it, but to find the crystal skull to see if he could find the soul or mind of the twelve demons.
He always remembered what Song Ziyu said to him in the stone chamber of the Hantan of the Tianshan Mountains, wanting to find the crystal skull, completely exterminate the souls of the twelve demons, and prevent them from resurrecting and endangering mankind.
However, to let him take the treasure map from a dying man, it is obvious that Li Jingwei can't do it.
Li Jingwei was thinking about it, and heard Hengwen say again:
"Look at my current situation, what's the point of retrieving the treasure map? Moreover, I have been involved in S.H.I.E.L.D. operations since the beginning, and I have never had the heart to try to hide the treasure map. ”
"So, you don't have to excuse yourself. As for what you do with it in the future, that's your business. Be sure not to let anyone know that the treasure map is in your hands. Hengwen said with a wry smile, and once again told Li Jingwei to keep it a secret.
Seeing that Li Jingwei was still a little hesitant, Hengwen continued:
"I can't ask for this treasure map, and I definitely can't leave it to my family. If you really want to leave the treasure map to them, then you will harm them. Such a treasure is not something they can touch. ”
"For you, if you can crack the secret in the future, you can try to find it. If the treasure does exist, you can secretly donate it to Huaxia. After all, most of this batch of treasures was probably plundered from Huaxia, and it should be returned to Huaxia. ”
When a man is about to die, his words are good. The words of the horizontal stripe are also true.
After a little hesitation, he added: "At present, it is not appropriate for you to hand over the treasure map to Huaxia now, because the relevant organizations of many countries are now staring at this matter. The actions of one country are also very likely to attract the attention of other countries, and it is also possible to be besieged by a group. Moreover, if you hand it in now, you will also be involved in it. Besides, in case the treasure map isn't real, you won't be able to explain it clearly. ”
"Okay, I accepted it, and thank you for the people of Huaxia. After hearing the words of the horizontal stripes, Li Jingwei no longer shirked, and he carefully put away the treasure map and the relics of the horizontal stripes.
Do big things, don't stick to small things. The treasure map is related to the interests of the Chinese nation, and Li Jingwei naturally has to put the interests of the nation first in the gift of horizontal stripes.
Seeing Li Jingwei finish all this, Hengwen nodded reassuringly and said, "You go out quickly, don't talk about it to anyone." “
Seeing this, Li Jingwei didn't say anything more, bowed his head towards the horizontal stripe, and then turned around and walked out quickly.
After Li Jingwei left, Hengwen took out a communication device from his pocket, pressed a series of long numbers, and then left a sentence: "It's good to meet you in this life! Don't forget our agreement in seven years." ”
After doing all this, he struggled to disassemble the communication device, then threw it down the toilet and flushed it down the drain. Then he got up, walked out of the bathroom, leaned against the wall, and came to a small hall.
The small hall that usually comes and goes with people is empty at this time. Striated sat down by a wall, just enough to be captured by the camera. He didn't find the camera all the way just now, and he didn't see it until he was in this small hall.
The behavior of Hengwen just looking for a camera is very secretive, and it will not give people the impression of deliberately checking whether there is a camera. As a professional agent, it was still easy for him to do this.
After sitting down against the wall, Striated took out a small bottle from his pocket, and after a few silent words, he swallowed the medicine in the bottle in one gulp, and then poured it against the wall.
The two people who didn't know each other's names from beginning to end never asked each other's names, but one of them seriously entrusted the aftermath, and the other made a solemn promise. Then the two were separated from each other as if they had never met.
It's just that a person has let go of the burden in his heart, but a person has taken on a heavy responsibility.
