The passage gate leading to the roof platform was not only locked with a big lock, but also completely sealed by wooden planks, Tang Feng and Han Jiang waited here for a while, and the two guys from the property company rushed to the gate with tools. It took a long time for the two strong guys to finally remove the wooden planks on the gate, and one of the guys handed Tang Feng a bunch of keys and said: "This is the key to the two locks on the gate, you can open it yourself, there are dead people on it, we won't accompany you up, after you use it, you can lock the door, and you will hand over the key to the person on duty at the door!" ”

After speaking, the two guys disappeared into the stairwell, and in the stairwell, the original calm was restored, Tang Feng first opened a chain lock with a key, and then opened the original lock of the door with another key, which was a rusty iron door, "Squeak-long!" With a sound, Tang Feng slowly pushed open the iron door, and a ray of strong winter light shone directly into the dark stairwell.

The iron door was completely opened, and Tang Feng's feet stepped on the insulation layer of the roof, there was no snow today, but the roof was cold and windy. Five minutes later, Tang Feng relied on his memory to touch the location where Qi Ning jumped off the building, Tang Feng clinged to the edge of the building, carefully poked his head out, and glanced downstairs, "Qi Ning jumped from here", thinking of this, Tang Feng felt dizzy.

Tang Feng retracted his head and began to carefully observe the place where Qi Ning jumped off the building, the ground here was a little messy, and several stone slabs used for heat insulation had been broken, suddenly, Tang Feng found something strange under a broken stone slab, he reached under the stone slab, a letter, there was a letter hidden in the rubble under the stone slab, Tang Feng took out the letter and looked at Han Jiang in surprise, Han Jiang was also surprised, "After Qi Ning committed suicide, the police have investigated this place?" ”

"It must have been negligent at the time!" Tang Feng couldn't wait to open the letter, the handwriting of the letter was blurred in some places due to the rain, but it did not prevent Tang Feng from roughly seeing the general content of the letter......

After reading the letter, Tang Feng was full of seriousness, and handed the letter to Han Jiang, after Han Jiang read the letter, he immediately dialed Zhao Yong's phone: "Immediately rush to the roof of the Yunzhong Building!" ”

"What? Roof! Who jumped off the building again! Zhao Yong was surprised.

"Don't talk nonsense! No one jumped off the building! After Han Jiang finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

When Zhao Yong arrived, Tang Feng wanted to analyze the content of the letter to Han Jiang, but Han Jiang interrupted him, "Wait until Zhao Yong comes, now my mind is a little messy, I want to start the whole thing from beginning to end." ”

So, Tang Feng and Han Jiang sat on the edge of the building, both fell into deep thought, and when Zhao Yong arrived at the top of the building, the two had been sitting in the cold wind for more than half an hour, and in this half an hour, they remembered many things, from the auction to Wang Kai's death, one by one, one by one, at this moment, in Tang Feng and Han Jiang's minds, the puzzle pieces that were once vague are gradually connected together.

"What are you two doing here? I can't think about it! Zhao Yong quipped.

"Humph! Hum! Don't curse me, Lao Tzu has never thought about it in his life. After Han Jiang finished speaking, he put the letter in his hand into his arms.

"Hehe, why are you two sitting here together? It's a matter of caution when you see it! Zhao Yong asked.

"Think about the problem!" Tang Feng Road.

"Looks like you've made a new discovery." Zhao Yong sensitively heard the sound outside the strings.

"It's a pity we're one step too late!" Tang Feng smiled helplessly.

At this time, Han Jiang jumped up from the ground and explained to Zhao Yong: "I called you here today to talk to you, and Tang Feng, about this matter from beginning to end." This is where Qi Ning committed suicide by jumping off the building, let's go back to the beginning, back to the origin of the whole thing, back to that grand auction. ”

Back to square one? Back to that grand auction? Tang Feng's eyes suddenly appeared in front of him again, and that was also the beginning of all his nightmares! He said to Han Jiang slowly: "Yes! It's time to analyze the whole thing from the point of origin. The grand auction? Hum! It was a terrible auction! The people who appeared at that auction, I know that at least three have died, Qi Ning, Liang Yunjie, Wang Kai, I am nine deaths, and there is a blonde woman who is the one who is chasing and killing us, this ...... What's all going on? ”

"Isn't it for that jade interstitial? Blood Curse! Hum! I'm kind of convinced now. Zhao Yongdao.

Han Jiang ignored Zhao Yong and asked Tang Feng instead, "Have you seen Wang Kai before?" ”

"I've seen it! At the preview before the auction, and at the auction, he was there, and at the auction, he was seated on the podium, probably in charge of recording! However, I didn't have a special impression of him, and I didn't have any dealings with him. Tang Feng replied.

"Oh! ...... at auction? Han Jiang tried his best to recall everything at the auction, but he didn't have any impression of Wang Kai in his mind.

"Tang Feng, is this a little strange?" Zhao Yong suddenly thought of something, "I remember you once said that during the auction of jade interstitials, in the end, it was the blonde woman and Liang Yunjie who bid, after Liang Yunjie reached a high price of 10 million, the blonde woman hesitated, but she still raised her card at the last moment, but at that time, Qi Ning seemed to see something in the small door on the sidelines?" The gavel was dropped in advance in a panic! Is that so? ”

"Yes! At that time, the scene was quite chaotic, many people may not have noticed this detail, but I will never be mistaken, Qi Ning hurriedly dropped the gavel, glanced at the small door next to him, his eyes were suddenly full of fear, I immediately turned back to look there, I didn't see anything, only saw the door shook twice, I think Qi Ning must have seen someone, a person who scared him......"

"And this person wants him to take a picture of the jade interstitial screen to Liang Yunjie." Han Jiang suddenly interjected.

"That's what I thought, who could this be?" Tang Feng asked.

"This is strange, since we have already determined that Wang Kai represents the mysterious organization that has been chasing and killing us, and it is he who manipulated the auction of the jade interstitial screen, then, Wang Kai was on the rostrum at that time, and the person who made Qi Ning so frightened appeared at the side door of the auction hall was not Wang Kai, who could it be?" Zhao Yong said the question in his heart.

"Yes! Is there still a group of people? …… No! Wrong! If Wang Kai represents that mysterious organization, then who does the blonde woman who bids with me at the auction represent? She's the one who's been hunting us down with Stephen, and she's representing that organization? This...... What's going on here? Tang Feng's mind fell into chaos.

"This is indeed strange, Wang Kai? Blonde woman? A mysterious figure that suddenly appeared? And Liang Yunjie, who was stabbed to death? Han Jiang couldn't figure it out, he took out the letter in his arms and handed it to Zhao Yongdao: "You better take a look at this letter first!" ”

Zhao Yong took it, and after reading it, he was shocked: "Where did you find this letter?" ”

"Just now, here, in the place where Qi Ning jumped off the building, in a hidden place under the heat shield, we didn't find this letter at the beginning." Han Jiang was a little annoyed.

"After the incident, both of us came here, but we just looked at it casually, and we didn't expect this matter to be so complicated at the time, and it was just an ordinary case at that time, and it was handed over to the police to deal with." Zhao Yongdao.

While Han Jiang and Zhao Yong were talking, Tang Feng opened the letter again with a tremble, not so much that it was a letter, but that it was a death verdict from Qi Ning.

It's an ordinary A4 piece of paper, with a few sentences printed in plain black ink—

Mr. Qi, what you did at the auction has made us extremely disappointed, and we have to regret to inform you that your life has come to an end, and your wife and children will also leave this world with you, think about it, your beautiful wife, lovely son, they will all end such a beautiful life because of you.

If you are still smart, if you have not lost your mind, then we advise you to end your life yourself, so that nothing has happened, we continue our plan, and your wife and children will only suffer for a short time, and only you will leave this world. Leaving is a painful choice, however, it is necessary and worthwhile for you, you should think about it yourself, and never try to call the police, otherwise, we cannot guarantee the safety of your family.

There was nothing on the envelope, no stamps, no zip code, no sender, no recipient, "What's going on?" Why is there nothing on the envelope of this letter? Zhao Yong asked.

"Needless to say, Wang Kai must have done it, he directly printed the letter, and then put the letter in Qi Ning's desk, or other places where Qi Ning could see it, Qi Ning may have seen this letter on the second day of the auction, or it may have been in the evening of the same day, so he chose to jump from here the next morning." Tang Feng explained.

"It was this letter that killed Qi Ning!" Zhao Yong sighed.

Han Jiang said: "It's not that this letter killed Qi Ning, this letter is just the last bullet shot at Qi Ning." I also agree with Tang Feng's judgment, this letter was made by Wang Kai, so the question arises, from the content of the letter, combined with the information we have already known, it was Wang Kai who directed the auction of the jade interstitial screen on behalf of the mysterious organization, what is their purpose? For money? Obviously not, it is obvious that the purpose of this organization is not for money, but to get all the jade inserts, and then uncover the secrets of the jade inserts and get the treasures of the Western Xia Dynasty. ”

"That's true, but this doesn't explain why they went to the trouble of planning this auction? Can't explain the blonde woman either? Tang Feng said.

"It's really strange, if their purpose is to uncover the secret of the jade interstitial, directly decipher the text on the jade interstitial screen, and find a few other jade interstitials, why go to great lengths to organize this auction? What is their purpose......" Han Jiang fell into deep thought again.

"No matter what their purpose is, judging from the later situation, this auction is beyond the plan of the mysterious organization, and the jade insert was finally bought by Liang Yunjie, which they don't want to see." Zhao Yongdao.

"Hmmm! This is also certain, the result of the auction was beyond the expectations of Wang Kai and the mysterious organization! That's why Qi Ning was forced to commit suicide, Liang Yunjie was stabbed to death, the battle for Hong Kong, and a series of events later. Tang Feng said.

Han Jiang waved his hand and said, "Not necessarily, my intuition tells me that the things that happened later are not necessarily because of the auction results that exceeded the expectations of the mysterious organization, and some things are destined to happen." Of course, in the end, Liang Yunjie bought the jade interstitial, which really exceeded Wang Kai and the expectations of the mysterious organization, so they quickly took a series of remedial measures, on the one hand, they forced Qi Ning to commit suicide, with the strength of that group, it was easy to kill Qi Ning, and the reason why they wanted to force Qi Ning to commit suicide was to not want the police to suspect him, so they did not retaliate against Qi Ning's family; On the other hand, chasing and killing Liang Yunjie to recapture the jade interstitial, of course, because Liang Yunjie's father and son are not idle people, so the gang has not succeeded, and later when they started in Hong Kong, we arrived in time to not let that gang succeed. ”

"The captain has a point, but I still don't understand, how can the blonde woman at the auction explain it?" Tang Feng thought of the blonde woman again.

"The blonde woman, now I really can't explain it...... Maybe she is just a chess piece pressed by the mysterious organization at the auction, as I said earlier, although we don't know what the purpose of Wang Kai and the mysterious organization planned and directed this auction, but one thing is certain, they don't want the jade insert to fall into the hands of some specific people, such as Liang Yunjie, so they may also install some people at the auction, and buy back the jade insert at any expense if necessary. Han Jiang speculated.

After listening to this, Tang Feng shook his head and said: "This explanation doesn't make sense, since it was to prevent the jade insert from falling into his hands, he deliberately arranged for that woman to bid, why did she hesitate in the end?" This is not logical, the financial resources of that mysterious organization should be much richer than Liang Yunjie, the jade interstitial screen is so important, if you are determined to win, 10 million should not be a large amount for that mysterious organization. ”

"Yes! That doesn't make sense. Han Jiang also acknowledges Tang's point of view.

"Also, you just said 'they don't want the jade screen to fall into the hands of some specific people', who are your so-called 'specific people'? Liang Yunjie is! What about me? If I bought it when the jade was inserted, would it have exceeded Wang Kai and the expectations of that mysterious organization? They're going to hunt me down too? Tang Feng asked rhetorically.

"If you buy the jade interstitial, I think they will trouble you in order to regain the jade interstitial." Han Jiang Road.

"But when they take the jade interstitial screen to auction it, they run the risk of being bought by someone else, unless they arrange for one person to bid offstage, outpacing all bidders, and the blonde woman obviously didn't do that." Tang Feng really couldn't figure it out.

"I can't figure it out either, after saying a lot, this problem doesn't come back, Wang Kai and that mysterious organization worked hard and took great risks to plan the auction of the jade interstitial, what is it for?" Han Jiang rubbed his swollen temples and asked helplessly.

Tang Feng thought for a while and expressed his opinion: "Maybe there is such a possibility that the blonde woman was not arranged by this mysterious organization, at least not at that time. ”

"Oh, Tang Feng, why do you say that?" Han Jiang frowned.

Tang Feng shook his head, "I don't know, it's just my feeling, that woman is obviously in the same group as Stephen, and they are chasing and killing us on behalf of the mysterious organization behind them, but we haven't seen the true face of this mysterious organization so far, I think Stephen is not the real mastermind behind the scenes, and there should be someone else behind the scenes." ”

Han Jiang listened to Tang Feng's inference and nodded, expressing his agreement, "You go on." ”

"Let's assume that the blonde woman who appeared at the auction was not arranged by the mysterious organization, so can we think that the mysterious organization doesn't really care who buys the jade insert in the end." Tang Feng said.

"What about Liang Yunjie?" Zhao Yong asked.

"Liang Yunjie is obviously an exception!" Tang Feng said affirmatively.

"You mean, that group of people just don't want the jade insert to be bought by Liang Yunjie, and they don't really care about being bought by others? Liang Yunjie is what you call 'some specific people'? Zhao Yong exclaimed.

Tang Feng nodded, "Well, it's completely possible, I have this feeling - if it was me or someone else who bought the jade interstitial, in the eyes of that group, it didn't seem to be the worst ending, and maybe, there would be no Qi Ning's later suicide." This is the only way to explain why Qi Ning's frightened expression before the hammer finally fell! Of course, this is just my gut feeling, and there is no hard evidence. ”

That's an interesting explanation. Liang Yunjie? Liang Yongquan? …… How much do they have to do with the whole thing? Why were those people so alarmed that Liang Yunjie got the jade interstitial? Maybe ......" Han Jiang muttered to himself, and suddenly, he turned to ask Tang Feng: "How is Liang Yuan doing?" I haven't seen her in a long time? ”

"Captain, you...... Why are you asking this all of a sudden? Tang Feng asked a little puzzled.

"I'm just asking, don't forget that she is also from the Liang family."

"She's very good, and after coming back from Hong Kong, I see that she is much better than before." Tang Feng replied.

"If there's anything unusual about her, you have to tell me in time." Han Jiang said in a commanding tone.

"Captain, do you suspect that Liang Yuan has a problem? But didn't you tell me in Maqu, don't you doubt Liang Yuan? Tang Feng argued for Liang Yuan.

"I didn't suspect Liang Yuan, I just gave you a vaccination. Okay, let's not talk about her......" But when Han Jiang said this, he frowned and said with a wry smile: "I still can't get around their Liang family, let me continue to talk about my analysis, assuming that Liang Yunjie buys the jade interstitial, which is the last thing that the mysterious organization wants to see, then who will be the person who appears at the side door of the auction hall?" I think it should be the person who wants Liang Yunjie to buy the jade interlude. ”

"Well, it's probably Liang Yunjie's person." Zhao Yong boldly speculated.

"In this way, Liang Yunjie also put a lot of pressure on Qi Ning, Qi Ning, in the end, was crushed by these two strong pressures?" Han Jiang wondered.

"Are you saying that both the mysterious organization and the Liang family have exerted tremendous pressure on Qi Ning for their respective purposes, and even death threats?" Tang Feng asked Han Jiang.

Han Jiang waved his hand and said: "I'm not sure about the Liang family, but with Liang Yunjie's understanding of the jade interstitial, the Liang family is the most likely, don't forget, Liang Yunjie is a survivor of the scientific expedition team back then." ”

"But the Liang family has always been law-abiding, and I haven't heard that they have anything to do with the underworld, how can they exert huge pressure on Qi Ning? Besides, even if Liang Yunjie wanted to unlock the secret of the jade interstitial, but he was dead, Liang Yongquan didn't seem interested in what his father did......" Tang Feng said.

"I found out that your kid has a problem with his position now! How can you always excuse the people of the Liang family, don't forget that you are our person, you must always stand on our side! Han Jiang said solemnly to Tang Feng.

"I didn't speak for the Liang family, I just talked about things!" Tang Feng argued with some excitement.

Han Jiang patted Tang Feng and said with a smile: "Okay, okay!" Not to mention the Liang family, we can now be sure that at least two powerful forces appeared in the auction, and these two powerful forces secretly competed, both exerting a huge influence on Qi Ning, and the auction ended with a result that was unfavorable to Wang Kai and the mysterious organization. ”

"Hmmm! This can be made clear. Tang Feng and Zhao Yong both agreed with this conclusion. Tang Feng couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect that seemingly ordinary auction would be so complicated!" All sorts of forces are involved. ”

"Yes! We all overlooked so many details of the auction that we lost a few important clues to solve the mystery, and it was only after I recalled the details of that auction these days that I found some clues. Han Jiang said slowly.

"I still have a question, since the mysterious force that wanted to shoot the jade interstitial screen to Liang Yunjie at the Jockey Party finally succeeded, why didn't we feel the existence of this force after that?" Tang Feng asked Han Jiang another problem.

"Yes! Except at the auction, after that, we didn't feel the appearance of this force, assuming that this force is the Liang family, are they just to get the jade interstitial? Liang Yunjie knows some jade interstitial secrets. Zhao Yong analyzed.

"That's easy to explain, didn't you just say that? Assuming it's the Liang family, this doesn't make sense, they originally wanted to get the jade interstitial screen and uncover the secret of the jade interstitial, but because Liang Yunjie was killed, the Liang family retreated, after all, they couldn't compete with that mysterious organization, if we hadn't intervened in time, that mysterious organization might have succeeded long ago. Han Jiang said.

Tang Feng listened to Han Jiang's analysis and said: "With this analysis, I remember that when I met Liang Yongquan in Hong Kong, I seemed to be able to hear from his words that he knew some inside information, and at that time, he probably had a premonition of a powerful threat, so it didn't take me much to say, Liang Yongquan easily handed over the jade interstitial screen worth tens of millions." And...... And I don't seem to have much hope of catching his father's killer. ”

"That's right! He gives us the feeling that this is it, but is it in line with Liang Yongquan's character to blindly show weakness? Will you be able to escape the killers of that mysterious organization? As far as I know, he has always been known for his indomitable attitude in the mall. Han Jiang said.

"But this time, that mysterious organization is too powerful, I'm afraid that Liang Yongquan, who has always been pretentious, can't do anything, I'm afraid!" Zhao Yong speculated.

"It seems that we need to talk to Liang Yongquan again, at least let him tell everything he knows." Han Jiang put away the letter and said.

I don't know when the snow fell in the air again, Tang Feng and Han Jiang walked towards the stairwell, but when they walked out, they realized that Zhao Yong was still in place, not moving, looking thoughtful, the two turned back again, Han Jiang asked Zhao Yong loudly: "What are you thinking?" Want that auction? ”

Zhao Yong came to his senses and replied, "No! I didn't think about the auction, I was thinking......"

Han Jiang looked at Zhao Yong's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and said sharply: "Just say what you have, don't spit out!" ”

"That's right, captain, do you remember the last time you were in Maqu, you connected with me, I once told you, I'm worried, in fact, what I'm most worried about is not your actions, but our internals!"

"Inside us? Do you suspect that we have a mole within us? Han Jiang quickly thought of what Zhao Yong meant.

Zhao Yong nodded heavily, and Han Jiang took a long breath and said: "Your worries coincide with mine, this problem, I talked to Tang Feng when I was in Maqu, I have long suspected that we have internal problems, but Tang Feng and I can't be sure who has problems, because no one seems to have problems." ”

"Yes! I've thought about everyone in my heart, even you, the captain, but none of them seem to be a problem! Zhao Yongdao.

"Humph! You kid even doubt me? You can do it! Balls! Still, it takes the courage to be skeptical. No one can rule out suspicion. But then I thought about it again, maybe I was overthinking, looking for the Blackhead Stone Chamber, we had repeated encounters with the men in black, maybe because of Stephen's secret existence, maybe because we were too much aligned with their goals. Han Jiang patted Zhao Yong on the shoulder and said.

"That's why I always run into it. So what do we do next? Zhao Yong asked.

"The next step, on the one hand, is to wait for Xu Renyu, just wait for him to hear the news from Petersburg, and we will act; On the other hand, you have to secretly strengthen the monitoring of Liang Yongquan, both to protect him and to find any valuable clues from him. Han Jiang commanded.

Zhao Yong nodded, "I understand!" ”

After speaking, the three of them walked to the stairwell together, Tang Feng took out the key and was about to lock the door, at this time, Han Jiang's mobile phone suddenly rang, and Xu Renyu's voice was on the other end of the phone, only to hear Han Jiang say a few times: "Hmm! Good. He hung up.

Han Jiang looked at Tang Feng and Zhao Yong, and said calmly, "There's news from Dr. Xu's side, let's go back quickly." ”

When the three of them rushed back to the headquarters, Xu Renyu had been waiting for a long time, and as soon as he saw the three of them, he couldn't wait to announce: "The whereabouts of that jade insert have finally been figured out!" ”

"Oh! Where is it? Tang Feng asked anxiously.

"In Petersburg, in the safe of the Federal Security Service in Petersburg, to be exact." Xu Renyu said seriously.

"What? In the safe of the State Security Service of Petersburg! So, it was really taken away by Yelena? Tang Feng was a little surprised and a little angry.

"As far as I know, it's not Yelena, it's not Makarov, Makarov also fell and injured at the time, it was the second group of agents they sent, after Yelena was captured, they lost contact with their superiors, so the FSB sent another team to find Yelena and Makarov." Xu Renyu introduced.

"That's right...... So they took the jade insert and rescued Makarov, but they didn't care about Tang Feng's life or death. Han Jiang confirmed his earlier judgment.

"But how did they find the spot where we fell so quickly?" Tang Feng was puzzled.

"I don't know this very well, they should have their means, it may be that Makarov has resumed contact with his superiors in Maqu." Xu Renyu guessed.

"Leave that alone, doctor, and tell me about the current situation of that jade interstitial." Han Jiang asked Xu Renyu.

Xu Renyu introduced unhurriedly: "I used all my connections to finally understand that after their people brought the second jade insert back to Petersburg, they wanted to return it to the Winter Palace and settle the case. However, after the experts of the Winter Palace saw the jade interstitial, they said that although this jade interstitial screen was also a priceless treasure, it was not the one stolen from the Winter Palace, so the case could not be closed, so the Federal Security Service locked the jade interstitial in the safe. ”

"Wait, doctor, are you sure that the Russians are only trying to recover the stolen piece of jade from the Winter Palace, and have no other purpose?" Zhao Yong questioned.

"This ...... I can't confirm this either, but from the existing indications, it is! Xu Renyu said.

Zhao Yong didn't think so, he turned to Han Jiang and said: "Captain, we just analyzed, in addition to that mysterious organization, there is another force involved, and the Russians knew a lot about the inside story of the jade interstitial screen back then, and even I think they may know more than we know." So ......"

"So you suspect that the Russians are not so pure?" Han Jiang continued.

Zhao Yong nodded, but Tang Feng said, "Won't it?" We got along with Lao Ma and Yelena, and we felt that they really had a single purpose, which was to retrieve the jade interstitial screen, and the rest of the ...... I really didn't see it. From an academic point of view, Zhao Yong just said that the Russians may have a deeper understanding of the jade interstitial screen than us, but I don't think so, yes, the first jade interstitial screen was indeed discovered by Koznov first, and then, the research work on it was also done by the Russians, which can be seen from the seven top-secret letters of the KGB, but later because of the failure of the scientific expedition team, some Russian scholars who knew the inside story and had studied the jade interstitial screen were killed, and the KGB has been sealing this jade interstitial screen since then, so, I don't think the Russians necessarily know more than we do. ”

"How much do the Russians know about it? We don't know. As for the motives of the Russians? We had to go to Petersburg to find out, and now they locked that jade interstitial in the FSB safe and didn't do anything further, what were they trying to do? Han Jiang asked everyone such a question.

6

"It's not waiting for us to take the bait, is it?" Zhao Yong listened to Han Jiang's question and asked vigilantly.

"What do you mean by that?" Tang Feng was surprised, stared at Zhao Yong and asked.

Zhao Yong said with certainty: "Isn't this obvious? Since they know that this jade insert is not the one stolen from the Winter Palace, and should be returned to us, of course, they can also treat this jade insert as the original one of the Winter Palace with no conscience, so that they can also make a difference; Now, they didn't take these two roads, but locked the jade interstitial screen in the safe, silently, didn't they just wait for us to pass, they expected that we would not give up, and must have prepared a net of heaven and earth, waiting for us, whether we are clever or hard, I'm afraid it will be more than lucky! ”

After Zhao Yong finished speaking, Tang Feng smiled and said: "How do you know how to fight and kill, so you want to take back that jade insert, according to my analysis, the purpose of the Russians is nothing more than two, one is waiting for us to go, make a deal with them, and exchange this piece in our hands for their piece; The second one, like you just said, they may have a larger purpose, not just trading. First, we definitely can't agree, I think the best outcome should be to find out the purpose of the Russians, and it is best to cooperate with them, which is the best policy! ”

"Working with the Russians? Will they do anything that is not good? Zhao Yong didn't believe it.

"For them, figuring out the mystery of the death of the expedition and finding the remains of the expedition is the biggest benefit they can get, and again, this is the biggest benefit we can get, and when it comes to legends like treasures, there are still a lot of uncertainties, and it's too early to talk about that." Tang Feng said.

After listening to Tang Feng's analysis, Han Jiang nodded and said, "Hmm! Tang Feng's analysis is very reasonable, if the Russians really have no other purpose for the jade insertion, cooperating with the Russians is indeed the best way. It's just that...... There are a lot of issues involved, so how easy is it to say? ”

Everyone was silent for a while, thinking about Tang Feng's analysis, Xu Renyu suddenly sneered twice, and said: "Cooperation, it's really difficult, why don't you want to think about it, if the Russians didn't know the secrets of the jade interstitial screen before, but you and Makarov have gone all the way, he knows a lot of secrets of the jade interlude!" ”

Xu Renyu's words reminded everyone, and Tang Feng muttered to himself: "I don't know how Lao Ma and Yelena are doing now?" ”

"Yes! We don't know that Makarov and Yelena are over there, it doesn't work to talk, and if they talk there with weight, then it will be much easier to cooperate with the Russians. Han Jiang said.

Tang Feng thought for a while and said, "Lao Ma is a general, and Yelena is their ace agent, so it should be quite effective to speak!" ”

Unexpectedly, Xu Renyu joked: "Come on, it's true that Makarov is a general, but he retired more than ten years early, if he hadn't participated in the scientific expedition team and seen the jade interlude, the Russians wouldn't have sent this bad old man, as for Yelena's ace agent, it's not fake, but she also has to listen to the above, so I advise you not to have too much hope for them." ”

"Alright! If you want to find out the true intentions of the Russians, you can only go to Petersburg and continue the analysis here, and there will be no progress. Han Jiang said, while thinking about the problem quickly, he paused, and said: "This time our purpose is very clear, is to retrieve the second jade interstitial, I hope to cooperate with them as Tang Feng said, so that our trip will be easy, but if the cooperation fails, then it will be like Zhao Yong said, take it by skill." Therefore, we have to prepare with both hands, my plan is to salute first and then to soldier, and when I get there, I will go to Yelena and Lao Ma first, and persuade them, and then go together to persuade their superiors; If this trick doesn't work, then come hard. What do you think? ”

Zhao Yong and Xu Renyu agreed, but Tang Feng added: "This method is feasible, but don't forget our old opponents, they didn't get the second jade interstitial screen, and they can't make the next plan, they must be more anxious than us, with their old ways and sensitivity, they won't know the whereabouts of that jade interstitial screen, so this trip to Petersburg has to guard against them." ”

Han Jiang patted Tang Feng on the shoulder and said, "You kid has made great progress now, yes, what you said is very important." The men in black must have smelled the scent too, and maybe they'll be moving soon, so we'll need to hurry up as well. When Han Jiang said this, he asked Xu Renyu instead: "Doctor, you can complete all the formalities for us to go to Petersburg as soon as possible, the sooner the better." ”

Xu Renyu nodded: "Don't worry, no problem, I can get Tang Feng the status of a visiting scholar and give it to you...... If you go in a public capacity, I can get you a diplomatic passport, what do you think? ”

"Diplomatic passports, that's great, not to be checked when you go through customs, so you can bring a gun!" Without waiting for Han Jiang to speak, Zhao Yong said with some excitement.

Han Jiang glared at Zhao Yong, and said solemnly: "This time I went in a public capacity, as Yelena and Lao Ma's peers to talk to them, but whether it is a diplomatic passport or not, I don't plan to bring weapons, first, to express my sincerity, and secondly, a gun can't solve any problems, if necessary, I can get weapons there." ”

"That's ...... I always feel unreliable, what if the conversation collapses? Zhao Yong asked rhetorically.

"Even if the talks fall apart and I go in a public capacity, they won't dare to do anything to me!" Han Jiang said confidently.

Zhao Yong still wanted to say something, but looked at Han Jiang and choked back the words. At this time, Han Jiang said to everyone in a commanding tone: "This time we will go to Petersburg, we will act separately, I will go alone in a public capacity, the rest of you do not need to disclose your identity, Tang Feng and Dr. will go as visiting scholars, Tang Feng, your main task is not only to help me identify the authenticity of the jade interstitial, but also to contact as many scholars in Petersburg as possible who have studied Western Xia, especially older scholars, who may reveal some valuable clues." ”

Tang Feng commanded: "It shouldn't be difficult to get in touch, there are only a few scholars in Petersburg who have studied Western Xia, but if you want to get valuable clues from them, I can't guarantee this!" ”

"No one needs your assurance, we're all crossing the river by feeling the stones! As for Zhao Yong, you don't have to go to Petersburg for the time being, there are still some things that you need to deal with at the headquarters, and in addition, since it is a salute before the soldiers, if the negotiation is successful, you don't have to go, if the negotiation collapses, it will not be too late for you to show your skills at that time. Han Jiang finally instructed Zhao Yong, although Zhao Yong was still not at ease with Han Jiang's plan, he had no choice but to nod his head and accept the order.

Everything was ready to stop, but just before leaving, Zhao Yong received a fax from Interpol, he only glanced at it in a hurry, and rushed to Han Jiang's office, as soon as he pushed the door, Tang Feng was also there, Zhao Yong excitedly reported to Han Jiang: "Those two guys have eyebrows." ”

"Who?" Han Jiang and Tang Feng asked at the same time.

"Stephen and the blonde woman."

"Oh! Show me! Han Jiang couldn't wait to take the fax.

Zhao Yong introduced: "Stephen, is a Chinese-American, that blonde woman, named Fanny; According to Interpol's information, they lead a transnational antiquities smuggling syndicate, specializing in theft, robbery, and smuggling of valuable cultural relics and works of art. ”

Han Jiang finished reading the fax, handed it to Tang Feng, and asked Zhao Yong suspiciously: "Isn't there much information about this group on the Interpol fax?" Especially Stephen and Fanny's, there is even less personal information about them, such as their specific height, weight, blood type, fingerprints, as well as their experiences, hobbies, etc., are not detailed, but this photo seems to have been taken secretly, and it can't be seen clearly! ”

"Yes, these two guys are very good at kung fu and very vigilant, the police of various countries have not caught them, and there is no specific information about them, that photo is the year before last, they were tracked and taken by the French police before they tried to attack the Louvre in Paris." Zhao Yong replied.

"And then?" Han Jiang asked.

"What?" Zhao Yong didn't understand what Han Jiang was referring to.

"I mean the picture later!"

"Later...... It is later said that Stephen and Fanny discovered that they had been followed, so they canceled their original plan, and the two managed to escape the stalk of the French police and disappear without a trace. ”

"These two guys must have specialized military, even agent training." Han Jiang concluded.

Tang Feng also finished reading the fax, and asked Zhao Yong instead: "The record of this organization's activities in the past two years on this fax is almost blank?" ”

"I've also noticed that in the last two years, the group seems to have reduced its activities, and there is almost no news about them." Zhao Yong replied.

"Have they washed their hands of gold, and forsaken evil for good? Apparently not! Tang Feng shook his head and said.

"Of course they didn't wash their hands of gold, I think they disappeared for the time being in order to plan a bigger conspiracy and action, and this action is for the jade interpolation, which we have already learned." Zhao Yong reasoned.

Han Jiang frowned, thinking for a long time before he spoke: "Do you think that the group of men in black who have been chasing and killing us is this cultural relics smuggling group led by Stephen and Fanny?" ”

Tang Feng and Zhao Yong were shocked when they heard this, "You mean there are other people?" Tang Feng asked.

"Think about it, an antiquities smuggling syndicate would be equipped with such advanced weapons? Will there be such a strong intelligence-gathering ability? …… And their people! How can the average criminal be that good? ”

Han Jiang's series of rhetorical questions reminded Tang Feng and Zhao Yong, "Yes! In this way, Stephen and Fanny, and their antiquities smuggling syndicate are just the tip of the iceberg, and our real opponents are still hidden behind the scenes! After Tang Feng finished speaking, he gasped.

Han Jiang looked at the fax again, and finally said, "Anyway, this fax finally lets us know who our opponents are, although they are not the ultimate masterminds. Our plan remains the same, everything goes according to the original plan, we will go to Petersburg in two groups, tomorrow, Tang Feng, you and Dr. Xu will go first, I will leave in a few days, it is so decided, is there any problem? ”

Han Jiang finished ordering, look at Zhao Yong and Tang Feng, Zhao Yong has no problem, but Tang Feng squeaked, there seemed to be something unspeakable, Han Jiang immediately thought of Liang Yuan, and said with a smile: "Tang Feng, you can't rest assured that Liang Yuan is not good, right?" Hehe! ”

Zhao Yong also smiled: "What, are you still going to take Liang Yuan with you?" ”

Tang Fengsheng blushed and said, "Of course I won't take her there, but I don't know how long it will take to go to Petersburg this time, so I have to give her a reason!" ”

"I knew you kid was for Liang Yuan. Reason, isn't this hard to make up? Oh, you ask Zhao Yong to make one for you! Han Jiang pushed the problem to Zhao Yong.

When Zhao Yong heard this, he was anxious, "Alas! How do you let me make it up? It makes me seem like I'm very good at telling nonsense, and we revolutionary soldiers never tell lies. ”

"Just blow it! If you don't look for anyone, we're all leaving, Miss Liang will definitely ask you for someone! Han Jiang joked.

Zhao Yong's head grew as soon as he heard this, and he said to Tang Feng: "It's better for you to make up a nonsense about this matter, go and fool Liang Yuan, I can't talk about her!" ”

Before Tang Feng could speak, Han Jiang interrupted him and said to Zhao Yong: "This time our action is confidential, and Liang Yuan is not involved in the plan, so we keep it secret from her, and Tang Feng can't go and tell her." Moreover, if Tang Feng says goodbye to Liang Yuan tonight, with Miss Liang's temper, will Tang Feng be able to leave tomorrow? Liang Yuan had to pester him. So, we have to go quietly, if it goes well, maybe we will be back in a few days, after we leave, Liang Yuan will come to ask Tang Feng's whereabouts, and you have to make up a reason for her! ”

Zhao Yong thought for a while and said, "You see if it's okay for me to say this, I'll just say to Liang Yuan, Tang Feng and Professor Luo are studying problems in retreat, and they won't see any guests, and they will come out in a few days!" ”

Tang Feng and Han Jiang were made to laugh and cry by Zhao Yong's clumsy reason, and Han Jiang said angrily: "I am still in retreat and cultivating, and I don't see any guests!" Have you read too many martial arts novels? It seems that you really can't tell nonsense! ”

When Zhao Yong heard this, he suddenly got up and said, "Thank you, captain, for the compliment." ”

"What did I praise you?" Han Jiang was stunned.

"Praise me for not telling nonsense!" Zhao Yong said loudly.

"I am praising you, for when you do this, sometimes you must tell lies and lies; You can't tell, tell the truth in everything, how can we keep our secrets! Han Jiang said sharply.

"Actually, I'm talking nonsense, that is...... It's just not good at saying it in front of girls, especially in front of pretty girls. ”

"Stupid! You just said to Liang Yuan that Tang Feng and I went on a secret mission, and the mission was confidential, so you can't say it! Say the same to everyone else, understand? ”

"Got it!" Zhao Yong is another upright.

"Good! Let's go back and prepare! After Han Jiang finished speaking, Tang Feng and Zhao Yong withdrew from his office.

The next day, Tang Feng and Xu Renyu took the lead in setting off, and soon, they reported to Han Jiang that they had arrived safely in Petersburg and everything was normal.

Two days later, Han Jiang also boarded a flight to Petersburg alone.
