Chapter 199: The Missing Mary
The goal was achieved, and it was achieved without asking such a big circle.
This surprised Hou Wan, but it was something that Wei Chi expected.
Hou Wan found that Wei Chiran had an advantage, that is, no matter when, even if he had the upper hand, he would not easily show his purpose, but would find a way to make the other party naturally confide. It shows that he is really cautious, so cautious that every step is clearly calculated.
This kid has a bright future, but he is also one of the threats to the lone future.
Of course, at this time, Hou Wan did not know that the greater threat of the falcon had come to his side, lurking in the dark, waiting for the opportunity to pounce and tear apart the prey.
Wei Chiran stood in the corner and watched Bai Tianzong eat in fear, but in his heart he had other thoughts about Chenzhou's decision to arrange for Miao Menghuai and Bai Tianzong to get close to Chiva.
Could it be that Chenzhou's purpose at the beginning was also Lingjian, so this arrangement was made in the Chiva incident, you know, in the Chiva incident, far more suitable women than Miao Menghuai abound, why do you want to find her?
Or did Chenzhou know that the lone army was looking for Lingjian, so he deliberately involved these two places in order to fish?
After Bai Tianzong finished eating, he looked at the silent Wei Chiran: "Can I go back?" ”
Wei Chiran asked, "We are looking for someone to verify your claim." ”
Bai Tianzong hurriedly said: "That's what my master told me, I don't know if it's true." ”
Now it is almost confirmed, if Bai Tianzong's words are false, then the clue will be completely broken.
However, why did He Yiyuan use such a complicated way to cover up the clues?
He Yiyuan told Bai Tianzong that the clue about Ling Jian was the name of a person, this person was Charles, an Englishman who lived in Singapore.
Other than that, nothing more.
After sending Bai Tianzong back to the cell, Hou Wan led the lieutenant back to the previous cabin room.
After Wei Chi Ran entered, he asked, "What is Ling Jian?" ”
Hou Wan shook his head: "The legend is a book of heaven, but what is the specific use, no one knows, however, we have accurate information, we know that the original location of Ling Jian in Yongcheng, China, probably in the twenties of the last century, during the melee of the Chinese valve, several geographies have gone to Yongcheng to look for Ling Jian, and found, one of the most important is called Tang Anshu, at that time Yongcheng also had a series of events caused by Ling Jian, and most importantly, Tang Anshu and others disappeared after finding Ling Jian, And the last person to see them before they disappeared was called Leng Rui, this person was ostensibly a thousand corpses, but in fact he was a lone member of our army. ”
(For this story, see "Alien Tombs")
Hou Wan also told Wei Chiran that Leng Rui had an apprentice at that time, and his apprentice was Shan Zhenping, whom Wei Chiran knew.
Wei Chiran suddenly remembered that it seemed that Shan Zhenping had mentioned this matter to himself, but because it was a past incident and had little to do with Qiqi Courage, he didn't take it to heart.
Wei Chiran asked: "You mean, Shan Zhenping knows the whereabouts of Tang Anshu and the others?" ”
Hou Wandao: "Yes, I asked Shan Zhenping, he didn't say the detailed process, just said that Tang Anshu boarded a ship named Mary, which was British at the time, and he didn't know what happened later, we tried our best to investigate, and found that the last person who witnessed Mary was at the end of April 1927, in the Bay of Bengal, and then never seen again, so we suspect that Mary was shipwrecked in the Bay of Bengal." ”
Wei Chi pondered and said, "You mean, Tang Anshu took Ling Jian on board the ship at that time?" ”
Hou Wandao: "Yes, Tang Anshu was accompanied by his friend An Wanghai, who is also a geographic, both of them disappeared, I suspect that both of them died in that shipwreck, so, to find Ling Jian, you must find out the accurate whereabouts of the Mary." ”
Wei Chiran said: "Why do you know that Bai Tianzong's master knows the whereabouts of Ling Jian? ”
Hou Wan shook his head and said: "Because He Yiyuan is also a scholar, he belongs to the category of archaeology, but because he belongs to a different geography, his archaeology is very strange, and what he studies is not interesting to others, or thinks it does not exist, He Yiyuan has also been looking for Ling Jian, he has not concealed this matter, until many years ago, he suddenly turned his goal to investigate the shipwreck, which attracted our attention, and we have been monitoring him quietly, until Shan Zhenping told me about the Mary, Combined with the previous investigation data, I found that He Yiyuan put all his energy on investigating the Mary for a while, but then suddenly burned all the information, and then the world evaporated. ”
Wei Chi Ran understood: "That's why you conclude that He Yiyuan must know Ling Jian's whereabouts." ”
Hou Wandao: "Yes, so, your next task is to go to Singapore and find the Englishman named Charles." ”
Wei Chi said: "Although Singapore is not big, it is difficult to find an Englishman named Charles there, right?" ”
Hou Wandao: "It's not difficult, because He Yiyuan only knows an Englishman named Charles, who happens to be the past owner of the Mary, a descendant of the British Charles family, and we also found out that Charles doesn't know Bai Tianzong, so this time you need to pretend to be Bai Tianzong to contact him." ”
Wei Chiran asked: "There is a question, where is He Yiyuan, you don't know, if Charles and He Yiyuan keep in touch in private, wouldn't it be revealing if I went so rashly?" ”
Hou Wan said: "It's okay, I have a plan, before you go, I will send other people to pretend to be He Yiyuan's assistants to contact Charles, and at the same time, we are also monitoring Charles's communications." ”
Wei Chi understood that if the first batch of people went, if Charles knew He Yiyuan's whereabouts, in order to verify his identity, he would definitely contact He Yiyuan, and Lone Army could find He Yiyuan's whereabouts.
On the contrary, if Charles is not in contact, then Wei Chi Ran can appear openly and pretend to be Bai Tianzong.
Hou Wan said again: "We will find He Yiyuan as quickly as possible, and control him, and then it doesn't matter if you go to contact Charles, I believe that Charles should know the exact point of the sinking of the Mary." ”
After Hou Wan finished his order, he asked Wei Chiran to eat, Wei Chiran didn't think too much, but before he finished the meal, he fell asleep, and when he woke up, he had already returned to the safe house in the Chinese town.
Chu Xia and Fang Xunyi both sat next to him and looked at him, and when they saw him wake up, they hurriedly asked him what was going on?
After Wei Chiran said something, Fang Xunyi asked, "This mission is to find Ling Jian." ”
Chu Xia also analyzed: "No wonder we want to give us half a month's vacation, just because Hou Wan needs this half a month to send someone to contact Charles, test Charles, and see if he has a private contact with He Yiyuan."
Wei Chiran asked: "Seven courages, secret armor, weaving dreams, and now it is Lingjian again, why is the lone army so persistent in collecting the treasures of other sects?" ”
This is what Saker wants to figure out, and it is also the question that Wei Chiran is now asking.
And why did Saker choose to cooperate with Chenzhou, just to find out about this matter?
Chu Xia said: "I don't know, in short, for thousands of years, the lone army has been doing this, but it has not been completed." ”
Fang Xunyi asked: "Why hasn't it been completed for thousands of years?" The power of the lone army is so great. ”
Chu Xia said: "First of all, coveting the treasures of other sects is equivalent to stealing and robbing, if it is discovered, it will be attacked by a group, so it can only be done privately, and doing it privately means that the people who go to do these things cannot reveal their identities, so the best way is to find the treasure of a certain sect, infiltrate their own people into a certain sect, and use the identity of the other party to find the treasure, so that they will not be discovered." ”
Wei Chiran heard this: "And it is not easy to cultivate a person from the other side, and one person is often not enough, and more people are needed to assist, plus these sects have not been found by themselves, so it is equivalent to making it more difficult." ”
Fang Xunyi asked a key question: "However, why do the various sects think that that thing is their treasure?" ”
Chu Xia shook her head: "I don't quite understand what you mean." ”
Fang Xun recalled: "For example, weaving dreams, was weaving dreams invented by corpse painters? No, where did it come from, no one knows, why the corpse painters think that Dream Weaver is their treasure, and what is the standard for their identification? And why do you think so? ”
Wei nodded slowly, indeed, the existence of the alien path itself is very mysterious, and behind this mystery there are countless secrets, and what do these secrets come from?
After resting for a week, Chu Xia received an order from Hou Wan to let her return to P headquarters, and there was something to explain in person, and during this week, Chu Xia did not suspect the Saker, because the way the Saker took was that as long as he was in front of Chu Xia, he would let Fang Xunyi face it.
It's just that in early summer, I also wondered, why did Fang Xunyi feel taller than before?
But this doubt was only for a moment, and it did not make Chu Xia think deeply.
After leaving in early summer, Wei Chiran went out to buy two cups of coffee, but when he returned, he found that Saker was sitting in front of the computer and used early summer's ID to enter P's system.
Wei Chiran immediately asked, "What are you doing?" ”
The falcon head didn't reply: "Knowingly asked." ”
Wei Chiran said: "You will expose yourself faster in this way, you went to the P headquarters in early summer, in case the system has a record, Hou Wan and early summer both find out, how do you explain it then?" ”
The falcon said lightly: "Let's just say that you logged in, and the purpose of your login is to find out if your adoptive father Wang Lun is dead." ”
Wei Chiran was a little angry: "Just let me carry the black pot, right?" ”
Saker said: "No, it's just a way to cooperate, don't be so nervous, sit down." ”
Unfortunately, Saker didn't seem to find what he was looking for in the system, so he had to log out, close the system, and sit there drinking coffee and thinking about something.
Wei Chiran looked at the falcon's appearance and asked, "You cooperated with Chenzhou, and in turn infiltrated the lonely army, is it also because of boredom?" ”
The Saker glanced at the lieutenant, but just smiled, not answering his question.
Soon, Chu Xia returned and brought back the news of Hou Wan, after Hou Wan's people went to Singapore to contact Charles, although Charles suspected the identity of the person who sent it, he did not contact He Yiyuan through any means, but asked the person sent He Yiyuan where he was far away? Because He Yiyuan has lost contact with him for a long time.
The lone soldier disguised as He Yiyuan's assistant lied that they had also lost He Yiyuan's whereabouts, and only found Charles in He Yiyuan's contact information, so they came thousands of miles to inquire, and the purpose was just to find He Yiyuan and let He Yiyuan complete his research on another shipwreck.
The lie was so clumsy that Charles didn't need to think much to conclude that there was something wrong with the group.
Of course, this was also deliberately arranged by Hou Wan, so that Wei Chiran could appear natural after disguising himself as Bai Tianzong.
However, Wei Chiran thought that he must no longer disguise himself as Bai Tianzong, because in that case, after all, Bai Tianzong was sentenced in the Chinese town, and this matter can be easily found out, it is not a secret, once this matter is exposed, it will backfire on the mission.
Hou Wan heard Wei Chi Ran say this on the other end of the phone, and he also felt that there was some reason, and asked, "Then in what capacity do you plan to go?" ”
Wei Chi said: "Bai Tianzong's creditor." ”
