Chapter 12: The Woman in the Tower
1
The Winter Palace was frightened all night, so that Tang Feng and Liang Yuan could no longer calm down, the two of them stubbornly arrived at the door of Tymoshen's office, for fear that the ghost would break into the door, and the two of them did not know how long they leaned behind the door, until there was no movement outside the door, and the two collapsed on the sofa.
"Was it the ghost who just banged on the door?" Liang Yuan trembled slightly.
"I don't know! Didn't hide the Queen's ghost? It's incredible! Tang Feng was still in shock.
"What could that be?"
"Whether or not it is the ghost of the Queen, one thing is for sure, we have been discovered by the security guards of the Winter Palace."
"So what are we going to do?"
"It seems that Tymoshin is not safe here either, and we have to leave the Winter Palace quickly. But we can't get out now, so we can only hide here and wait until dawn to get out. β
Liang Yuan nodded, hugged Tang Feng tightly, and the two snuggled up like this, ushering in the dawn of a new day. Unlike yesterday, when Ji Moshen came late, as soon as the sky dawned, Ji Moshen broke in in the dust, startling Tang Feng and Liang Yuan. Ji Moshen stared at Tang Feng and Liang Yuan on the sofa, he didn't speak for a long time, his eyes were bloodshot, and he looked a little scary, the office door behind him was open like that, until Ji Moshen's eyes slowly softened, he turned around and closed the office door.
"Did you go to the exhibition halls of the Hermitage last night?" Tymoshen questioned Tang Feng.
Before Tang Feng could speak, Liang Yuan quibbled stiffly: "No,...... No. β
"None? So how did this flashlight fall next to the column of the 1812 War Gallery? Tymoshin said, throwing a flashlight on the desk.
Tang Feng recognized at a glance that this was the flashlight he had lost when he and Liang Yuan escaped last night. He had to admit: "Yes, we inadvertently entered the Winter Palace last night, sorry for the trouble......"
Before Tang Feng finished speaking, Ji Moshen waved his hand, sat down on a chair with relief, and then said to Tang Feng: "At three o'clock in the morning today, the security guard of the Winter Palace called me, saying that the Winter Palace had entered the thieves at night, and asked me to check if there were any lost cultural relics. When I arrived, I found that the young male colleagues had arrived, and there were people from the police station, we were busy for several hours, and we checked it before the museum opened, this flashlight was picked up by the pillar of the 1812 War Gallery, and when I saw this flashlight, it turned out to be mine, and I thought of the so-called 'thief' in the night, it was you two. If this is picked up by someone else who knows this flashlight, I can't tell. β
"I'm so sorry I almost hurt you! However, please be assured that we did not mean to go in. Tang Feng explained.
"Then why did you enter the Winter Palace? I specifically warned you not to go out yesterday. Tymoshin looked unhappy.
"Because ......" Tang Feng hesitated, not knowing whether to tell Ji Moshen about the night. However, Liang Yuan said bluntly: "Because of the ghost! β
"What? Phantom? Tymoshin was stunned.
"Because we heard a strange noise outside the office last night, I went out to see what was going on, and I walked into the door along the big corridor outside, and I found out that inside the door was actually the exhibition hall of the Winter Palace, and it was all my fault, and Tang Feng came in to find me later." Liang Yuan told the truth 1510.
"Strange noises?" Ji Moshen was confused, but suddenly his eyes widened and he exclaimed, "That's not right! That door is locked at night! And that door also has an alarm device, if someone breaks through that door at night, the alarm device will call the police. β
"But last night the door was really unlocked, and the alarm device didn't alarm the alarm, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to get in, please trust us." Tang Feng explained.
Tymoshin shook her head and said, "I want to believe you, but what you tell me is so surprising. I came through that door with my colleague just now, the door was locked, and my colleague just opened the door with the key. β
"I don't know, but the door did open as soon as I pushed it last night." Tang Feng felt that it was difficult to argue now.
"Alright! All right! Even if the door wasn't locked last night and the alarm didn't go off, what did you see when you entered the Winter Palace? Tymoshin asked.
"I saw a ghost! The ghost of the queen is not hidden! Liang Yuan said faintly. At this scene, Ji Moshen stared at Liang Yuan in a daze for a long time, not knowing what to say.
2
Liang Yuan came to her senses at this time, no longer as frightened as she was just now, she described to Ji Moshen their horror in the Winter Palace, especially the encounter with the ghost of the Empress Wu in the Chinese Pavilion, Ji Moshen listened to it, and was stunned for a while before asking, "...... you Are you telling the truth? β
"It's true!" Liang Yuan said with an oath.
"That's not right! It's true that you broke into the Winter Palace, but you made up the ghosts you encountered later, right? Tymoshin refused to believe it.
Tang Feng said very seriously: "We did see that ghost. β
"Then let me ask you, what does that ghost look like?" Tymoshin asked.
"The appearance of the ghost, we didn't see it clearly, we only saw the ghost wearing a white robe, with a cloak and a light ......," Tang Feng tried his best to describe the scene he saw last night.
"Hehe, Tang Feng, you've watched too many horror movies, I've heard some legends about the ghosts of the Winter Palace over the years, but those are just legends, no one has ever seen them, you're good, you just let you meet them on the first day you came." And said yes...... What is it that does not hide the ghost of the Queen? β
"Because we found that the head of the Buddha in the display case was missing, which is the Buddha head that you said had hidden in it without the skull of the queen." Tang Feng argued.
Unexpectedly, after listening to Tang Feng's words, Ji Moshen laughed, and after laughing, he said slowly: "Tang Feng, I really doubt that the two of you went sleepwalking last night." I've just checked, and the head of the Buddha you mentioned is now sitting securely in the display case of the Chinese Pavilion, how can you say that the head of the Buddha is missing? You must know that every display cabinet in the Winter Palace has an alarm device connected to the monitoring room, and if any display cabinet is destroyed, the alarm device in the monitoring room will immediately alarm the bell, so it is almost impossible for someone to move the cultural relics in the display case without permission and without touching the alarm device. β
Tang Feng was speechless for a while, and was speechless, Liang Yuan pouted, and said: "Anyway, what we said is the truth, even if we sleepwalk, it is impossible for the two of us to sleepwalk together, let alone open the locked door." β
Tang Feng saw that he couldn't make Ji Moshen believe his words, so he had to say to Ji Moshen: "It seems that I can't make you believe our words, then we can only leave, and if we continue to stay here, it will only cause unnecessary misunderstandings." After speaking, Tang Feng got up and wanted to leave.
"Tang Feng, where are you going?" Tymoshin asked.
Tang Feng didn't know how to answer, because he didn't know where else to go in Petersburg? Ji Moshen grabbed Tang Feng and said, "Tang Feng, you can't go anywhere now." I don't care who is chasing you, now, the Winter Palace has strengthened its vigilance, and the police outside have also strengthened their police force, if you go out now, it is easy to be caught by the police, if that is the case, I will also be implicated, so whether it is for you or for me, you are safest to stay here now. β
Tang Feng looked back at Ji Moshen, and felt that Ji Moshen's words were reasonable, so he no longer insisted on leaving. Ji Moshen finally warned Tang Feng again: "No matter what you hear, no matter if the door is locked or not, you must not go to the Winter Palace again, and if there is any more trouble, it will not be so easy to solve." β
Tang Feng nodded: "Okay, I remember." β
"I still have something to go out now, I'll bring you some food in the afternoon, you stay here, if you're bored, just look at my books here, I think these books are of interest to you." With that, Tymoshin hurriedly left the office.

Tymoshin left the office, walked through the corridors of the Winter Palace, and went straight to the Chinese Pavilion on the third floor, he stood at the door of the Chinese Pavilion and hesitated for a moment before stepping into the Chinese Pavilion, there were no other tourists in the huge exhibition hall, only him, he stood in the center of the exhibition hall, looking around, this was a place he was familiar with, he didn't notice how this place was different from usual today? But his mind still kept popping up with the encounter that Tang Feng and Liang Yuan had just narrated to him.
"Ghosts? The woman in the tower? Didn't hide the queen? ......" Scenes that made his heart beat came to Tymoshen's mind. He saw the breathtakingly beautiful head of the Buddha again, and at this moment, the head of the Buddha was still quietly placed in a prominent position in the middle of the display case, as usual, and the corners of the Buddha's mouth were slightly smiling, looking at everyone who passed in front of her.
Tymoshin strode forward, he threw himself on the display case, knelt down reverently in front of the Lushena Buddha, faced face, stared at the Buddha statue in the display case for a long time, Tymoshin was conquered by the Lushena Buddha, conquered by her peculiar oriental beauty. "Ghosts?" Ji Moshen said this word stupidly, and then, he sat down on the floor and smiled slightly: "How can such a beautiful Buddha be a ghost?" You have waited in the tower for a thousand years, just to be reborn today and let the world admire your beauty. β
After a long time, when the number of visitors in the exhibition hall gradually increased, Tymoshin stood up from in front of the Buddha, and when he stepped out of the Chinese Pavilion, he turned around and looked at the Buddha again, and a trace of horror and uneasiness flashed in his eyes.
Tymoshin went to the surveillance room on the first floor and found a security guard he was familiar with: "Sergey, can you show me the surveillance video near the China Pavilion last night?" β
"There, there's no surveillance footage in the nearby showroom, just two alarm devices in the hallway." Sergey replied.
When Tymoshen heard this, he cursed: "Damn it! How could there be no surveillance footage? β
"As you know, the Winter Palace itself is an important cultural heritage, most of the exhibition halls are inconvenient to install surveillance videos for the protection of cultural relics, and the focus of our defense is mainly on the periphery, nearby squares, streets, and some external walls near the Winter Palace, and there are relatively few surveillance cameras inside the Winter Palace, only a few important passages are installed." Sergey explained.
"On the important passage? β¦β¦ Then you show me the surveillance footage on the grand staircase leading from the second floor to the third floor, I think there seems to be one there. β
"Yes, there is one, I'll find it for you." Sergei asked while adjusting the surveillance video from last night's staircase for Tymoshin: "How is it?" You don't have any artifacts there, do you? β
"Nope! I just wanted to see the surveillance footage. β
"But that intruder set off the alarm on the second floor last night, and you suspect that the intruder went to the third floor?"
"I don't know, I'm just a little worried."
"In my opinion, last night's incident doesn't look like some Jiangyang thief did it, after all, there was no loss of cultural relics, maybe just a tourist who didn't leave after the museum was closed, but the strange thing is that we searched all the exhibition halls, and we didn't catch the illegal intruder, just now the officers at the police station thought that our alarm device was malfunctioning, causing them to run in vain, and then the police went back."
"That's what the police think?"
"Yes, because this kind of thing has happened to us here before, I encountered it once when I was on duty here, but every time this kind of thing happened, neither lost cultural relics, nor caught any illegal intruders, and every time the police came to the conclusion that there was a problem with our alarm device, and in the end it was gone, and after that, there was no major problem."
"Oh! β¦β¦ I remembered that a few years ago, there was also a time when I was called in the middle of the night, and it was the same situation last night. Tymoshin tried to remember, but he couldn't remember the details.
The surveillance video from the main staircase was called up, and Sergei adjusted the video time to half past two in the morning, and said to Tymoshin: "Our people have already appeared here at this time, and if they can find anything, it should be before half past two." So, Sergey began to rewind forward.
4
When the surveillance video fell to 2:20, Tymoshin suddenly shouted: "Stop! Stop it! β
Sergei was startled by Tymoshin's shout, hurriedly stopped the belt that was still falling forward, and asked Tymoshin in surprise: "What's wrong?" What do you see? β
"From 2:18 a.m. onwards." Tymoshin said with a frown.
The surveillance video began to be played back at a normal speed from 2:18, and Timoshen looked at the screen nervously, and the screen appeared on the grand staircase leading to the third floor on the second floor, the staircase was covered with a red carpet, and the two wall lamps emitted a faint light in the dark palace, shining on the red carpet of the grand staircase, Timoshen felt a strange atmosphere, when the time was close to 2:20, Timoshen's eyes widened, staring at the grand staircase on the screen, but when the time came to 2:20, time seemed to stand still...... There was a snowflake on the monitoring screen, and Tymoshin's eyes suddenly lost focus, and after about twenty seconds, the screen returned to normal, and Sergei asked in surprise: "If you hadn't reminded me, I would have ignored this detail, but what does this mean?" β
"I don't think that means much, maybe your machines should be overhauled." Timoshen rubbed his swollen temples and said talkatively.
"Okay, let's go a little further." Sergei continued to rewind forward, and Tymoshen was always worried that Tang Feng and Liang Yuan would be in trouble if they appeared on the surveillance video, so he sat down and checked the surveillance video with Sergei. Fortunately for Ji Moshen, he did not find Tang Feng and Liang Yuan from this surveillance video.
"The other stairs leading from the second floor to the third floor, are there no surveillance footage?" Tymoshin asked.
Sergei shook his head: "It's not all installed, except for this one, there is another one that is broken, it's been half a month, and it hasn't been repaired." β
Ji Moshen secretly speculated in his heart that if Tang Feng was telling the truth, then they must have walked up other stairs. Timoshin calmed down a little and was about to leave, but somehow, those terrifying sights came to his mind againβghosts? The woman in the tower? Didn't hide the queen? Surveillance footage from the grand staircase...... Tymoshin stopped, turned around and quietly asked Sergey: "Have you heard of the ghosts of the Winter Palace?" β
"The ghost of the Winter Palace? I've heard old colleagues talk about it before, but I've never met it, hehe, why do you ask this, do you think ...... last night" Sergey suddenly widened his eyes, stared at Tymoshin, and didn't dare to say any more.
"I just suddenly thought of the legend of the ghost of the Winter Palace, and nothing else." With that, Tymoshin left the monitoring room.
Sergei hadn't reacted to Tymoshin's words just now, and when Tymoshin walked away, another colleague said to him: "I think that Tymoshin is studying his head badly, and he even suspects that the ghost has touched the alarm?" β
Sergei turned his head to look at the colleague, then at the surveillance screen in front of him, and shook his head helplessly.

Tang Feng and Liang Yuan spent a boring day in Ji Moshen's office, Tang Feng has been looking through Ji Moshen's books, especially those in Chinese, Tang Feng has to admire Ji Moshen's reading, a foreigner, so understanding of Chinese history and culture.
After finishing Ji Moshen's book, Tang Feng picked up the thin information on the table again. He flipped through the information, and once again silently stared at the close-up of the Buddha statue on the black-and-white photo, the dignified and beautiful Lushena Buddha, is this really the remains of the Empress Wuzang?
Just when Tang Feng was thinking nonsense, Ji Moshen returned to the office with some food, and saw that Tang Feng was still staring at the information, Ji Moshen smiled: "Are you still thinking about that ghost?" β
"I don't want to think about ghosts, but ghosts haunt me." Tang Feng uttered something similar to a mantra.
"Okay, don't think about it, I went to the surveillance room to check the surveillance video, and I didn't find any ghosts at all. Luckily, the two of you didn't appear in the surveillance footage. Tymoshin said.
"That's lucky! However, I still can't explain what happened last night, huh? Liang Yuan asked suspiciously.
"Miss Liang, you must know that there are many things in this world that cannot be explained at all. I went to the China Pavilion to check on the Buddha statue, and she was still intact and in her original display case. β
"This ...... It's just incredible. Tang Feng felt that his brain was becoming more and more confused.
Ji Moshen picked up the information in front of Tang Feng, flipped through it, then slammed the information on the table, pointed to the photo of the tower in the data, and said to Tang Feng: "This great tower is indeed great, because it opens the door to Western Xia Studies, but it's a pity...... It's a pity that damn Kozlov, who destroyed this great tower, who opened this treasure house of Western Xia art in a barbaric way, damned Kozlov, is just a rough man, an uneducated adventurer. β
Tymoshin said and slammed the table, Tang Feng looked at Tymoshin in surprise, he rarely heard Russian scholars evaluate Kozlov like this, in the past, domestic scholars often blamed Kozlov for Kozlov's barbaric way to excavate Blackwater City, but Tang Feng never expected that a Russian scholar like Timoshin would be so disdainful of Kozlov.
Tymoshin then complained: "If I were to excavate Blackwater City, it would be a hundred times more perfect than Kozlov, especially this great tower, I will open this white tower in the most scientific and gentle way." Take out the relics in the White Pagoda one by one, especially the Lushena Buddha, because she is the incarnation of the Empress Muzang, because she has the most beautiful smile in the East, she is noble and incomprehensible, but unfortunately, all this was destroyed by Kozlov, so ,...... I have always had a wish that one day I too will be able to open such a great tower, and there will be a beautiful queen or princess in the tower. β
The more Ji Moshen spoke, the more involved he became, Tang Feng looked at him in a daze, and it wasn't until he finished speaking that Tang Feng smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to have such an ideal, but it's a pity that you were born a hundred years late." β
"Yes! A hundred years, but what is a hundred years to the queen of Wuzang who has been sleeping in the tower for a thousand years? β
"Are you so sure that the woman in the tower is the queen of the Hidden Queen?" Liang Yuan asked in disbelief, although she saw the white ghost, she still couldn't believe that it was the ghost of the Queen Wuzang.
"A woman with such exquisite and important burial goods can only be a queen, a noble queen who has no treasure."
"But we still can't know the full history of the Empress Muzang, she is like a woman in the fog." Tang Feng said helplessly.
6
Ji Moshen nodded and said: "Yes, Tang Feng, you are right, Empress Wuzang is still a woman in the fog." After the fall of the Western Xia, the Mongols destroyed everything in the Western Xia, palaces, mausoleums, temples, writing, everything that once recorded the history and culture of the Western Xia, so that we know very little about the history of the Western Xia today, the Empress Wuzang reached the peak of power after the death of Yuan Hao, but when the Wuzang family rapidly declined from the peak of power, what kind of pain and choice did this woman endure? Judging from the historical data we have, she was not too old at the time, could it be that she became a nun again? How many more years did she live? We didn't know that it was unforgivable for a serious scholar, so I kept studying the Buddha statue and this great pagoda. β
"I remember you said the other day that your scholars had tested the age of the corpse, saying that it was a woman in her thirties, and this age seems to be a little different from the age of the Empress Muzang, according to my estimate, the historical Empress Muzang should be older than this, so I still can't fully agree with your opinion."
"Tang Feng, you said this question, I also thought about it, according to historical records, before marrying Yuan Hao, there was a marriage, according to the age calculation, when she gave birth to Yuan Hao, she should be at least close to thirty years old, Liang Zuo succeeded to the throne in infancy, and then more than ten years, the power of the Wuzang family is overwhelming, according to this calculation, when the Wuzang family declines, the queen of Wuzang should be at least about forty years old. But I think that when she didn't hide her life, she should still be very young, and when the family fell, she should only be in her thirties, which is also counted, and this skeleton can be understood. β
"This is just wishful thinking on your part, and it is not in the spirit of science!" Tang Feng smiled at Ji Moshen.
Timoshen rubbed his swollen temples again, "Yes, this is indeed wishful thinking, but I am willing to believe that this skeleton is so young, and it also shows that it proves that the Empress did not live long after the family lost power, and passed away." β
"You mean, forgive Zuo, her own son may well have killed her mother." Tang Feng exclaimed.
"That's what it means."
After Ji Moshen finished speaking, there was a silence in the office, and after a long time, Liang Yuan said, "Okay! All right! You say so many bones, female corpses, it would have been scary enough for us to meet that ghost! β
Ji Moshen shook his head slightly, he wanted to sort out the thoughts of the day, but the more he wanted to clear his thoughts, the more chaotic his mind became, and finally, Ji Moshen said with a talk: "Tang Feng, it's not that I don't believe what you said, although I haven't seen the ghost you said, but I believe that what happened to you last night must have a reason, let me think about it again, maybe I can come up with something...... If only my teacher were still around, he would have been able to explain all this. β
"Professor Boris?" Tang Feng asked rhetorically.
"Yes, Professor Boris, he is so wise, kind, and learned that I still need his help, and yet he has left us." Timoshen paused for a moment, and then said to Tang Feng: "Okay, I'm leaving, you guys are good at your own tonight, remember what I said, no matter what movement is outside, don't go out of this office." β
Tang Feng and Liang Yuan nodded and sent Ji Moshen away, and in the empty office, only Tang Feng and Liang Yuan were left, and they had no choice but to continue to survive this cold winter night.

Leaving the cemetery of the Nevsky Lavsky, Ivalov rushed back to the FSB as fast as he could, and Ilyugin was already waiting here a little impatiently, and as soon as he saw Ivanov, he asked with a sneer: "What are you doing at the headquarters today?" I didn't know beforehand. β
"Head, it was the headquarters that temporarily asked me to report to work, I thought the headquarters notified you!"
"Fart! I didn't know at all, I didn't know until you left. What did you say at headquarters? "Ilyugin was clearly unhappy with Ilyugin's going to headquarters.
"I just told the truth and reported the progress of the case to headquarters."
"And what did you say about Yelena?" Ilyugin is most concerned about this.
"Yelena, I said she ran away with that Chinese agent. She betrayed you, and she's going to investigate the case herself. β
"No!" Ilyugin suddenly burst out and said, "No! It's not that you betrayed me, it's that you betrayed the organization, you betrayed the country, you have to let the headquarters understand everything that happened here, we have a traitor, this traitor is Yelena, and the old immortal Makarov, that's why the jade insert will be stolen. β
"To be honest, head, do you believe that the jade interstitial screen was stolen by Han Jiang and Yelena?" Ivanov asked rhetorically.
Ilyugin approached Ivanlov and said: "Dear Valentin, you have to understand one thing, it's not a question of whether you believe it or not, it's come to this point, you have to believe that it was that Han Jiang who colluded with Yelena to steal the jade interstitial, and we have no choice now." β
Ivanov nodded: "I understand. β
"It's good to understand, if you understand, you have to start acting, I'll ask you again, what are you doing at the headquarters?"
"What else are you doing?" Ivanov immediately thought of what Ilyugin was referring to, he secretly cursed Ilyugin in his heart, and actually spying on himself, Ivanov originally wanted to drag it for Yelena for two days, and then tell Ilyugin that he went to the headquarters to check the files, but now it seems that it can't be delayed, Ivanov had to take out the thick documents, handed them to Ilyugin, and said helplessly: "I also went to check the files." β
"Check the files? Who told you to check it? β
"Myself, no one else." Ivanov replied stiffly.
Ilyugin looked through the document suspiciously and said, "Misha? Why are you going to check this person? β
"Aren't all the documents written? He was the third survivor of the expedition, and we didn't know about it before, so I had to look into his situation. β
"I see, I mean how do you know, or rather, how did you come up with the idea to investigate this Misha? Before, did you have a clue? Ilyugin looked at Ivanov with a skeptical look.
"Nope! I didn't know that this Misha was still alive later, and I wanted to go to the headquarters to investigate the information of those people in the scientific expedition team back then, but in addition to what we already have, it is useful to find this document. Ivanov replied cautiously.
Ilyugin's small gray eyes stared at Ivanov: "Didn't Yelena ask you to check?" β
"Head! Absolutely not, although I pursued Yelena, now I have lost contact with Yelena. Ivanov assured Ilyugin.
Although Ilyudkin did not fully believe Ivanov's words in his heart, it was inconvenient to continue to ask, so he opened the document brought back by Ivanov, read it carefully, and while reading, Ilyudkin asked: "Have you read this document?" β
"I've seen it."
"Any thoughts?"
"Not yet. However, if this Misha is not dead by now, we should find him, but this document is only recorded until 1988, and there is no information about Misha's situation and whereabouts after that, so we do not know what happened to him after that, and we have no way to do anything. β
"You can go and investigate the old employees of the Winter Palace first!" Ilyugin prompted.
"Director Yingming, I'll investigate tomorrow."
Ilyugin said again: "Judging from this document, Misha's resurrection from the dead is indeed magical, if he is indeed alive, then he will have great significance for us, and will go far beyond the jade interstitial screen itself, do you understand what I mean?" β
"Yes, I'll try my best to find out, but I think this Misha is probably no longer alive, after all, there has been no report about him since 1988, and the most likely reason is that he died in 1988."
"Whether he's still there or not, I'm going to check it out, huh? Why is this copy missing from 1964? Ilyugin also found the missing parts of the documents.
Ivanov came up and looked closely, and he found that this document was missing the 1964 record of Misha, and he tried to recall the situation when he found the dusty documents in the archives of the headquarters, all the documents about Misha, all copied, and there would never be any omission! Never!
Ilyugin looked at Ivanov suspiciously, then stared at the missing page, lost in thought.
8
Ilyugin thought for a while, and he thought about this document that Ivanlov might have gone to find for Yelena, Yelena? Han Jiang? Why are they investigating this Misha? If Yelena had asked for this document, they must have almost certainly had a clue, so why not use theirs...... Thinking of this, Ilyugin closed the document and said to Ivanov: "I'm afraid that the missing part involves some important things, which have been stolen, and the bureaucrats at the headquarters can't even manage a single document." β
"Yes! We're fighting to the death. β
"Regardless of this document for now, our focus is still to find Yelena, Han Jiang and that Tang Feng."
"By the way, head, I have made some discoveries in the past two days, the red BMW sports car, I investigated clearly, the car belongs to a car rental company, and the person who rented the car is a Chinese girl named 'Liang Yuan', which is her passport mortgaged in the car rental company. Subsequently, we found out the room that the girl opened in the Astoria Hotel, but the information they registered was not Tang Feng, nor the Liang Yuan, but a company in Hong Kong. Ivanov reported.
Ilyugin took Liang Yuan's passport, looked at it, and muttered, "Hong Kong, China? Beam...... Beauty? A company in Hong Kong? He searched his mind for the impression of the Chinese girl, but he couldn't remember anything about the girl. Ilyugin threw Liang Yuan's passport on the table and said to Ivanov: "This girl's entry time is not the same day as Tang Feng, it seems that their organization has sent someone again, maybe there is more than one; And the Hong Kong company may just be a front, and the room in the Astoria Hotel is most likely their stronghold in Petersburg. β
"Yes! That day downstairs in Yelena's apartment, we almost caught Tang Feng, but suddenly a BMW sports car rushed out of the downstairs and picked up Tang Feng, and they must have come to Petersburg again. Ivanov chimed in.
"It seems that they will not give up until they have achieved their goal! Yelena's apartment hasn't moved for the past two days? β
"The two days were peaceful, and I led people to search Makarov's house, but nothing was found; Also, when we arrived at the Astoria Hotel, Tang Feng and the girl were not there, but the items in the room were still there, so I guess they would still come back, but our people stayed there for two days and didn't see any of them. It's really strange, Han Jiang and Yelena, as well as Tang Feng, these people should still be in Petersburg, but we can't catch any of them, where are they hiding? Ivanov said suspiciously.
Ilyugin said: "They must have a hiding place, according to the information we have, Han Jiang should be with Yelena, Makarov, and the so-called translator now, there are at least four of them, and Tang Feng, at least with the girl named Liang Yuan." I guess the two groups of them haven't met yet, and we need to stop them from meeting and break them down. β
"That's right, but we don't seem to have anything to do but wait for them to show up right now?"
"Let me think, let me think, Don, we are not familiar with each other, but Yelena and Makarov we know very well, what else do they have hiding in Petersburg? That's right! How did we forget there! Ilyugin suddenly thought of something.
"Director, where do you think of it?"
Ilyugin waved his hand, Ivanlov came over with his ear, Ilyugin whispered a few words in Ivanov's ear, Ivanov nodded frequently, and after the task was explained, Ilyugin sneered: "Hehe, Yelena, Han Jiang, and my dear teacher, you can't escape from my palm." β
After Ilyugin finished speaking, he let out a terrifying smirk. Ivanlov smiled on the surface, but in his heart he couldn't help but feel sorry for Yelena.
