Chapter Ninety-Seven: On Motives

Chapter 97 on motive

"But I don't understand, Xiao Jiang is already our friend, what is she trying to do to sneak in with us? There's no need for her to do this, and if she's already a friend, she can come to us at any time. "I'm still puzzled, what is the point of having to go through the trouble of joining in when someone who is already a friend is already a friend.

"Yin Yin, of course you will think so, but others will not think so, for Xiao Jiang, her encounter with us is only limited to this scientific expedition of the ancient tomb of Shandong Chengxin Village, now the dust has settled, the ancient tomb has been destroyed, the cultural relics have been sent to the relevant departments, the fat man can return to his blasting team to continue to be a consultant, you and I have a solid family, we can return to Shanghai, Uncle Lu is also the deputy of Vice Minister Zhou of the Ministry of Security, we all have a place to go, Have you ever wondered where Xiao Jiang will go in the future? Yun Ximing asked me rhetorically.

"She can go back to the archaeological team of Shandong Province, if she wants to change to another way out, we can help her, it's not a difficult thing, since it's a friend, of course I will help her find a better way out." I say.

"But it's hard to convince others of this kind of unjustifiable thing, and what good job can we arrange for her? We all rely on family members, but if there is an opportunity for Xiao Jiang to join us justifiably and get a job that is just right for her, and she happens to know about this opportunity, do you think that if it were you, would you work hard to fight for it? Yun Ximing said.

"Jobs, opportunities? What do you mean? "I didn't understand what Yun Ximing meant, it seemed that during the week I was in a coma, much more had happened than I had imagined.

"Look at this." Yun Ximing took out a dozen pieces of text from the drawer at my bedside and handed it over, and I glanced at the title on it.

Formulation of the Establishment Plan of the National Association of Experts and Consultants for the Protection of Cultural Relics and the Research Group on Difficult Issues

"What is this?" I asked.

"Wen Jiàn was sent by Vice Minister Zhou, and we haven't submitted the progress report on the ancient tomb in Chengxin Village this time, because you are the captain, and you were in a coma at that time, so we communicated with our superiors and decided to wait for you to recover and go to Beijing in person for a top-secret report meeting. But at the same time, we have also reflected the general situation with experts and superior leaders, in recent years, many archaeological teams in the process of scientific research, inexperienced, led to the occurrence of a series of tragedies, the superior leaders decided to set up a difficult problem handling team, as a consultant, in the future, to deal with this aspect of difficult problems. The people currently being selected are, me, Fatty, you, Uncle Lu, and the other members are still pending, how the whole group is currently formed, and where it is formed, these will have to wait until you have recovered, and then make a decision, and ask your grandma what she means. Yun Ximing said.

Suddenly heard Yun Ximing mention his grandmother, he felt uncomfortable, it is said that his parents are already on the way to come, and it is estimated that he will be able to arrive today, and he suddenly feels very homesick, and suddenly feels that nothing matters, and he is actually quite happy to be alive.

"So, Xiao Jiang already knows about the establishment of an advisory group, so he figured out various ways to join in, it's completely unnecessary, we just need to give her a recommendation place at that time, can't we?"

"It's not that simple, if Xiao Jiang just wants to enter the advisory group, any of us can give him a recommendation, but she may have another purpose, fatty, you need to explain here." Yun Ximing looked at Dazhe, Dazhe was silent for a moment, and said slowly.

"In the past few days, I have been very close to Xiao Jiang, and I found that she seems to be particularly interested in what happened during her coma, and has been pestering me to tell her about the situation at that time, you know me, how could I let go of every opportunity to show off my heroic deeds so lightly, so I will tell the matter in special detail." Dazhe said triumphantly.

"I'm afraid it's a special exaggeration." I ruthlessly exposed him, and he pouted dissatisfied, and continued.

"But slowly, I noticed that she seemed to care about two things, one was your old ghost friend, and the other was the wooden box you took out. When she heard that I had seen the box, she seemed to be very excited, and kept asking what the box looked like, whether it had been opened, what was inside, and so on. Dazhe said.

"Maybe she's just curious, people who do archaeology see the same cultural relics, and there is nothing unusual, and there are not many people who have seen such precious things, so there is nothing wrong with asking in detail."

"That's what I thought at first, but then I realized that something was wrong, if it was just out of curiosity, I couldn't take notes, and not only that, I also found a bug with a recording function on the wall behind my hospital bed, just this morning, so her curiosity about these things is definitely not accidental." Da Zhe said earnestly, "Yin Yin, you and Brother Gongzi are the right match, I don't have any chances, but the love between the two of us who grew up together since childhood is there, just rush to this point, I will never allow anyone to hurt you in my life, no matter who it is." ”

Dazhe's sudden confession made the whole room fall into an awkward silence, Yun Ximing's eyes were complicated, he didn't know what to say, these few minutes of conversation, the amount of information was beyond my imagination, I didn't bother to analyze Xiao Jiang's motives or something, it should come sooner or later, let it be. Emptying my brain, the first question that comes to my mind, I blurt out.

"What about the 10,000-year-old agarwood box? Did it go to a superior expert? Have you opened it and do you know what's inside? I asked. Dazhe shook his head and looked at Yun Ximing, who coughed and said.

"The box didn't open, I don't know for some reason, the box just couldn't be opened, so it was kept together as it was, and now the box is safe."

"What does it mean to be safe? Didn't you hand over the box? There are so many experts in the central government, they must be able to figure out the mystery of that box, I just want to ask you, where is the box now? "I'm a little annoyed, the box that Ji Ziyang and I desperately protected, Ji Ziyang still doesn't know where to wander like flying ashes, they didn't even hand over the box, could it be that they want to emulate the ancestor of the Jia family?

"Yin Yin, don't get excited, the box was taken away by my grandfather as soon as we were rescued, and he wanted to take the box to meet an important person." Yun Ximing said.

"See whom?" I asked.

"Your grandma!" (To be continued.) )
