Chapter 275: A Fragment of a Lonely Book
There were two males and one female among the three, with an average age of forty-five. In the lone army, this is a deep dormant, who is only responsible for the normal operation of the branch, and will only take relevant action unless there is a major incident in the other way.
But for decades, in the Northeast, there have been almost no heretical events that make Lone Army think it is worth paying attention to, so these people also live a normal life like ordinary people, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible to associate these three people with people in the heretical way.
Hou Wan first called the company to inquire according to the normal connection method, but the person on the other end of the phone could not answer the code, he could only directly find the person in charge of the three people, but was told that the person in charge had asked for leave and had something to call his mobile phone.
Hou Wan tried to dial the mobile phone directly, who knew that the mobile phone would be connected as soon as he dialed it, and the person on the other end asked him directly what he did? Hou Wan said the code, and the other party also received the code, and Hou Wan immediately asked what happened.
The person in charge claimed that it was inconvenient to say on the phone that Hou Wan had to wait for him in an abandoned factory area that night.
After hanging up the phone, Hou Wan immediately sent the recording of the call with the person in charge back to Chinatown, and the PW headquarters also immediately conducted a voiceprint comparison to confirm that the person who answered the phone on the other side was definitely not the person in charge.
After Hou Wan recalled this, he shook his head slightly: "I was very puzzled at the time, because for so many years, no one has ever touched us alone, let alone directly attacked one of our sub-rudders, which is completely meaningless, besides, even if you want to start, it is difficult to find and confirm it." Even if it is found, it is not easy to get the other party to admit their identity, let alone let them confess the code of the connection with the above, now after all, it is the twenty-first century, not a hundred years ago, who will attack us? β
Wei Chiran asked, "Did you go that night?" β
Hou Wandao: "I knew it was a trap, of course I wouldn't go, the next day, I received a call from the guy who claimed to be in charge, he asked me why I didn't go, I lied that I was being followed, and asked him about the "Kyushu Ten Thousand Beasts", the man asked me where I lived, I didn't tell him on the grounds of safety, and he said that he wanted to give me something, I saw it, I could only inform the upper floor, let the upper floor rebook a hotel, let the guy send things over, who knows, that guy let the courier send a page of "Kyushu Ten Thousand Beasts Map" fragments. β
When Hou Wan got the fragment, he was not sure what it was, and it was not until he sent back the photo to Chinatown that he replied to him what it was, and ordered him to return to Chinatown immediately with the fragment, and the mission was terminated.
"That's all there is to it." Hou Wan frowned and took out the e-cigarette, "I still don't know who the other party is, what kind of person he is, what his purpose is, why he gave me a fragment, why Heluo asked me to terminate the task again, and gave a death order, and most importantly, over the years, although this fragment is in the warehouse, the upper echelons of the lonely army have been trying to determine its authenticity." β
Wei Chiran felt strange: "With such great ability as a lone soldier, isn't it simple to determine the authenticity of that fragment?" Moreover, didn't the hunt belong to the lone branch in the first place? β
Hou Wandao: "It's not that simple, although it is true that the capture was established alone, but later, in order to fake the show, almost no one knew about this fact in the later arrest." β
Hatsu said: "Isn't that meaningless?" β
It's like a group that invests in the creation of a new company, does not control it, does not include it under its umbrella, and allows it to develop freely, and at some point in the future, the company also becomes a group, and it has become a competitor to its own parent company, what is the point of doing it alone?
Hou Wandao: "I'm afraid this is also where Heluo wonders, right?" Therefore, I speculate that Helo is probably not really a high-level person, just a spokesperson, he just wants to find out something through this mission, and he sent me a message last night, telling me that I can take the fragment from the warehouse and find a way to determine its authenticity. β
Yin Wanmeng immediately asked: "For so many years, the lone army has not found out the authenticity of the fragments, how can we check?" β
Hou Wandao: "It's not that I haven't checked, it's checked, but the way it is used is different, first of all, it can't be made public, and other experts can't be hired, you must know that it is the treasure of the capture, if the news spreads, saying that part of the treasure of the capture is in the hands of the lone army, then the lone army will be over." β
Wei Chiran smiled and said: "I thought that Lone Army was really not afraid of heaven and earth. β
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Chiran suddenly thought of something and asked: "Before Songmeng left here, he didn't take the fragments with him, and even if he had a good memory, he couldn't write down the words and pictures on the fragments, so he would definitely make a photocopy." β
Hou Wan heard this: "It makes sense. β
Wei Chiran said again: "Songmeng took the photocopied fragments to the northeast, and it was easy to find out that the photocopied fragments came from the "Kyushu Ten Thousand Beasts", and then followed his identity to investigate, others would think that the "Kyushu Ten Thousand Beasts" is now in the hands of the T royal family, and Songmeng will also be in danger." β
Hou Wan got up and said, "In case he is discovered by the person who baited him back then, he will think that he is a lone soldier?" β
Wei Chi shook his head: "No, the lone soldier will not blatantly take out the fragments, that person must know this, so he will secretly investigate Songmeng, and find PW from Songmeng's identity, so as to find out that Lone Army is hiding in PW." And the purpose of this person's use of the fragments back then seems to be to strike at the lone army, Minister Hou, after that, did anything happen to other branches in the country? β
Hou Wan shook his head: "No, only the branch of the three eastern provinces had an accident, and since then, the Chinese town has stopped all the activities of the lone army in the three eastern provinces, allowing the rest of the people to live normally, break into pieces, and wait for orders." β
Wei Chi pondered for a moment: "Then, it can be speculated that the Lone Army Branch of the Three Eastern Provinces has been looking for the "Kyushu Ten Thousand Beasts Map", no, it should be looking for someone who holds the "Kyushu Ten Thousand Beasts Map", after this person found out, he had to use a fragment as a bait to destroy the three branches of the Lone Army, and at the same time wait for the other Lone Army to investigate, after He Luo found out that this matter was fraudulent, maybe the time was not ripe, maybe it was other reasons, so he suspended your operation. β
Hou Wan asked: "You mean, Songmeng found that fragment, which was deliberately arranged by Heluo?" β
Wei Chiran nodded and said: "It should be, Songmeng went to the northeast with a photocopy, and he will definitely be discovered by that person, this time it is equivalent to Heluo giving that person bait, and we are fishing rods, so our real task is not only to find Songmeng, but also to find that person and find the "Kyushu Ten Thousand Beasts Map". β
Early Summer said: "Makes sense. β
Yin Wanmeng smiled: "Your analytical reasoning ability is indeed good. β
Wei Chiran was still full of doubts: "But I really don't understand, why does Lone Army let me perform a mission every time, but I don't explain it, so I have to figure it out?" β
Hou Wan also frowned, why didn't Wei Chiran say? Why does Helo have to do this every time? What exactly does he want to do?
However, fortunately, they have basically figured out the main reason why Heluo sent them to the northeast.
But Wei Chiran felt that there was another obvious clue, that is, the authenticity of the fragment.
After thinking about it, Wei Chiran felt that he could only go to Xie Qingfei for help, after all, he was a cargo chaser, and it was necessary for him to identify the authenticity of these antiquities, judging from the experience of real-world events, he had a good moral character.
However, now the Chinese town is full of spies looking for Hou Wan and Wei Chiran, and once the two appear, they will be easily discovered, so Hou Wan can only send two trusted PW operatives to invite Xie Qingfei to a safe house in PW at the dock.
Originally, Xie Qingfei was reluctant to come no matter what, but it wasn't until Wei Chi dialed the phone and pleaded in person that Xie Qingfei agreed.
When Xie Qingfei walked into the safe house, Wei Chiran and the others immediately stepped forward to greet him.
Xie Qingfei looked around the room, looked at the two PW operators in the back, and asked, "Officer Wei Chi, what are you looking for me?" β
Wei Chi said: "Boss Xie, the matter is urgent, I won't be polite, I invited you to come to verify the authenticity of a fragment of pages." β
Xie Qingfei wondered: "Fragments? β
Wei Chi led Xie Qingfei to the table and opened the flat box specially containing the fragments: "This is it." β
Xie Qingfei just glanced at it, and blurted out: ""Ten Thousand Beasts in Kyushu"? β
Hou Wan, Chu Xia and Yin Wanmeng looked at each other, knowing that this Xie Qing was really a cargo chaser, even if he didn't admit it, he just said that he was a descendant of the cargo chaser, but he was a treasure of the items in the other way.
Wei Chi nodded and said, "There is only one fragment, but I don't know if it's true or not." β
Xie Qingfei looked very embarrassed, and looked closer, but he didn't dare to get started, after all, once this kind of scrap page is used, no matter how careful it is, it is very easy to damage.
The so-called ancient books refer to books that have not been printed using modern printing techniques.
Books were called classics in ancient times, also called documents, and had the triple meaning of documents, archives, and books. With the progress of time, the memoir-like documents are arranged for people to read, and to achieve the purpose of disseminating knowledge and experience, a book is formed, the content of the book is increasing day by day, the carrier tends to be diversified, the production technology is constantly improved, in order to facilitate reading, different binding styles such as brochures, scrolls, albums and thread-bound books are produced.
The traditional classification of ancient China adopts four categories: classics, histories, sub-sections, and collections, which are subdivided into 44 categories under the four partsβamong them, the classics are mainly based on Confucian classics and their interpretations, and also include books on ancient music and writing; The Department of History mainly includes historical books on various topics, as well as geography, political books and catalogue books; The sub-department has the widest range, including the hundred schools of thought, arithmetic, astronomy, biology, medicine, military advisory, art, religion, divination, fortune calculation, and similar books. The collection department records poetry collections, literary criticism, and works on lyrics and songs, and individual works are called "separate collections", and collective creations are called "general collections".
Xie Qingfei frowned and looked at it for a long time and said: "The Ming Dynasty carved books, which can be roughly divided into three periods, from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to Zhengde for more than 100 years, the style of engraved books inherits the afterglow of the Yuan Dynasty, whether it is official carving or private carving, to sum up, it is six words, black mouth, Zhao character, Jiyuan." β
Wei Chiran asked, "What do you mean?" β
Xie Qingfei said: "The upper and lower ends of the stitch in the book are black stripes with wide and thick ink prints, which are black mouths. The word Zhao refers to the fact that most of the fonts engraved in the Yuan Dynasty imitate the words of Zhao Mengfu, as for the Jiyuan, as the name suggests, it is the meaning of inheriting the afterglow of the Yuan Dynasty. β
Although Wei Chiran understood, he didn't understand the font either, after all, he didn't study this, so even if he knew, he couldn't tell the age, so he asked: "Then when was the "Kyushu Ten Thousand Beasts Map" engraved?" β
Xie Qingfei said: "It should be from Jiajing to Wanli, you look at the white mouth square characters on the fragments of the Song Dynasty, this is the style of that period, but just looking at these still can't prove that this is true, because it is not impossible to imitate this kind of fragments now." β
Hou Wan immediately asked: "What does Boss Xie mean that this fragment may be fake?" β
