Zhao Yong led people to search for another day, but still did not find Stepkin's body, Han Jiang decided not to waste any more time, let Zhao Yong lead a team of people to stay, and he returned to the headquarters with Tang Feng, Yelena, Makarov, and Xu Renyu.

Han Jiang reassigned the task according to the new clues, and handed over the two broken jade interstitial screens to Professor Luo, Professor Luo frowned in the face of the two broken jade interstitial screens, and after a long time, Professor Luo said to Han Jiang, "I can only try to see if I can stitch these two jade interstitial screens, and then decipher the text on it and the map behind." ”

"Then I'm sorry for you! Fix these two jade interstitial screens as much as possible," Han Jiang pleaded.

"Don't worry, I'll do my best, fortunately, the fragments are not missing, and they can still be repaired, but what will be repaired in the end, I don't dare to give you a packing ticket." Professor Luo has always been rigorous in his work, and he will never pack a ticket if he is not sure, but Han Jiang and Tang Feng also know that when it comes to this, it is estimated that Professor Luo is still more sure.

Han Jiang sent Yelena and Makarov alive again, "Yelena, after you return to China, I hope you can thoroughly check the files of Bultenko, Stepkin, and Brainin. ”

"You will send us a job, like our head, you must know that Iryugin will have to listen to me obediently in our place." Yelena said angrily.

"How dare I, how dare I send you a job, didn't I discuss with you and ask you for help?" Han Jiang hurriedly changed his most enthusiastic smiling face in history, which almost amused Tang Feng.

"That's pretty much it, let me tell you, I've checked the files of Stephkin and Brynin before, and there are no discrepancies with what I already know, and I can't tell you what else they have hidden from the files." Yelena said.

"Then Chachabuldenko." Han Jiang's eyes rolled, and he said, "There is still ...... And that Shchedrin, old horse, you go and ask him again, let him remember the past, especially the riot at the forward base, I think it's very important. ”

"That's what I think too, and there are signs that the mysterious organization we're facing now is related to the forward base back then." Makarov hesitated for a moment, and then sighed: "It's a shame to say that I was still the head of the forward base back then......"

"And that White, the American White that Shchedrin talked about, was very suspicious, and then Stephen actually met an American named White!" Han Jiang instructed Makarov.

"White?!" Makarov shook his head, "It's terrible that Shchedrin won't know much, last time he already said that he never touched Stephkin again, and White is missing." ”

"Anyway, I'll have to ask him again." Han Jiang admonished.

"That's it! Han, you don't need to tell us to do it step by step, don't forget that we are also agents, I also need to check Brenin's final autopsy report, and I also need to know about Stepkin's situation in Porotska, in short, you name it, I must have thought of it before you. Yelena said confidently.

Han Jiang smiled awkwardly, "I just like your confident look, and when I hear you say this, then I will be relieved." ”

Seeing off Yelena and Makarov, Tang Feng and Han Jiang hadn't been free for a while, when the call from Lao Jin of the criminal police team came, "Old Han, where have you gone, I've been calling you for the past few days, but no one answered!" ”

"Lao Jin, I went on a special mission a few days ago."

"Special missions? Then I won't ask. ”

"What's the matter, Professor Chen's case has progressed?"

"Progress? There is no progress, but Chen Zijian's autopsy report has come out. ”

"Oh! What did you find? Han Jiang couldn't wait to ask.

"That's the case...... Lao Jin stopped talking, "You better come here, let's meet and talk." ”

"Okay, see you in twenty minutes." After Han Jiang answered the phone, he slammed the steering wheel, turned around and ran towards the criminal police team.

Twenty minutes later, Tang Feng and Han Jiang came to the criminal police team, Lao Jin took out Professor Chen Zijian's autopsy report, hesitated for a while, and then said, "The autopsy conclusion is not complicated, I can tell you on the phone just now." Just ......"

"Lao Jin, when did you swallow and vomit?"

"It's just that Chen Zijian's death conclusion still makes me a little puzzled, so I invited you over." Old Kim explained.

"Incomprehensible? Didn't you say that Chen Zijian committed suicide last time? What, it's time for him to kill? Han Jiang asked rhetorically.

"Nope! No! I don't mean that, so far there is still no final conclusion on whether Chen Zijian committed suicide or he killed him, so this case is still dragging on, and I personally still tend to commit suicide. Lao Jin looked at Han Jiang and then at Tang Feng, and further explained: "What I said is incomprehensible, in fact, I told you at the scene last time that Chen Zijian's strange death posture has been bothering me, and the autopsy report clearly pointed out that Chen Zijian died because of the huge fright from the outside, which led to the rupture of the compressed cerebral blood vessels." ”

"Really scared to death?" Tang Feng exclaimed, "However, Professor Chen's assistant Xiao Lu said that Chen Zijian did not have cardiovascular diseases. ”

"This is the most inexplicable place, we later reviewed Chen Zijian's medical records and physical examination records, he really has no cardiovascular disease, how can a person without cardiovascular disease be easily scared to death? This is what I can't understand, I've been a criminal police officer for half my life, if you want to say people who are scared to death, I've also seen them, but without exception, there are cardiovascular problems, Chen Zijian's matter, it's the first time I've seen it, it's really weird! The posture of death is even weirder! ......," the old gold babbler.

After Han Jiang and Tang Feng listened to Lao Jin's chatter, it was already noon, and the two walked out of the criminal police team, Han Jiang asked Tang Feng, "How is it?" What's the catch? ”

"I'd like to go back to Professor Chen's lab." Tang Feng said suddenly.

"What, what did you think of?" Han Jiang asked rhetorically.

"I always feel like we must have overlooked something about Professor Chen......," Tang Feng muttered as if to himself.

"Do you still suspect that Professor Chen was killed by him?"

"Let's go check it out first!"

The two soon came to Professor Chen's laboratory, it was the lunch break, there was no one in the building, before coming, Tang Feng and Han Jiang did not inform Xiao Lu, the two were familiar with this place, the old-fashioned elevator was still rattling, and the lights were not turned on in the corridor, although it was daytime, it still made people feel cold and gray.

Tang Feng saw that the door of the laboratory was hidden, and knocked lightly twice, but no one opened the door, so Han Jiang didn't wait for Tang Feng to knock again, pushed the door and walked straight in, Tang Feng saw this, and hurriedly followed in, Xiao Lu was not there, the two walked to the inside, only to see Xiao Lu was facing away from them, staring intently at the computer screen, Han Jiang knocked on the door, Xiao Lu heard the voice, turned around suddenly, and found that it was Tang Feng and Han Jiang, and hurriedly closed a document he was staring at just now, and then operated on the computer a few times, and retreated to the desktop, Only then did he get up to greet Tang Feng and Han Jiang.

Xiao Lu's hurried actions did not escape the eyes of Tang Feng and Han Jiang, and after a few words of greeting, Tang Feng gave Han Jiang a look, Han Jiang understood, and said to Xiao Lu: "We want to take a look at the avatar made by Professor Chen again." ”

"Avatar? Isn't that avatar broken? Xiao Lu asked rhetorically.

"Look at it if it's broken."

Xiao Lu seemed reluctant, but he didn't dare to disobey Han Jiang, so he had to take Han Jiang to get the avatar locked in the safe, but Tang Feng didn't follow out, he saw Xiao Lu walk out, and sat down in front of Xiao Lu's computer, although Xiao Lu turned off the document he just read, but still left clues in "My recent document", Tang Feng found that there were four documents that had been opened recently, and the following three were medical and anthropological documents, but the title of the top document was - "Research on Western Xia Spells (Take it as an example)".

Tang Feng's heart fell suddenly, and he just wanted to click on the document to take a peek, when Han Jiang's voice was already heard outside the door, Tang Feng had to stand by the window, as if enjoying the scenery outside the window.

The female avatar with half of her face cut off appeared in front of Tang Feng again, Tang Feng stared at the avatar for a long time, and finally Tang Feng turned to Xiao Lu and said, "I want to take this avatar away, is it okay?" ”

Xiao Lu pursed his lips, "Whatever you want, this avatar is useless anyway." ”

Tang Feng wrapped the avatar, left the laboratory with Han Jiang, walked out of the building, and got into Han Jiang's car, Tang Feng immediately said his new discovery, "I found a document in Xiao Lu's computer - "Research on Western Xia Spells (Take it as an Example)", and it was this document that he was looking at with concentration just now. ”

"What does this mean?"

"Judging from the title, this is a paper, but this is not Xiao Lu's specialty, it should be something I studied, but Xiao Lu is looking at it intently."

"Maybe people are interested in Western Xia culture now, just take a look."

"Just take a look? Then why was he so flustered when he saw us, and hurriedly closed the document. Besides, this paper is very strange, "A Study of Western Xia Mantras (Take it as an Example)?! I am now half an expert in Western Xia studies, but I have never read this paper, nor have I heard of this "Hundred Words of Demon Break". ”

"That's because you're a shallow learner! Hehe! Han Jiang quipped.

"Am I a beginner? Okay, even if I'm just a little learned, I still think there's something wrong with Xiao Lu, and you have to pay attention to Professor Chen's clue. ”

"Okay, we have more important clues, Zhao Yong should be back today." Han Jiang said this, and sped up the car.

Back at the headquarters, Zhao Yong had already returned dejectedly, "Haven't you found Stepkin's body yet?" When Han Jiang saw Zhao Yong like that, he knew that it would be no show.

Zhao Yong shook his head in disappointment and said, "No, we searched all over the area, but we didn't find Stepkin's body." ”

"Has this guy evaporated from the world?" Han Jiang was extremely disappointed, and then ordered: "You continue to search, and notify me immediately if there is a clue." ”

Zhao Yong stiffened his head and took the order, but saw that Tang Feng was in a daze in front of his computer, and the computers in the entire headquarters could not be connected to the Internet, only Han Jiang's computer could be connected to the Internet.

Han Jiang patted Tang Feng, "What are you looking at?" ”

Tang Feng searched the Internet for the title of the paper he saw on Xiao Lu's computer, but there was nothing on the Internet, and Tang Feng took out the topic of "Breaking the Devil in a Hundred Words" separately and searched, and the search engine produced dozens of results, but after Tang Feng looked at them one by one, they were all irrelevant information.

This made Tang Feng even more confused, "Where did Xiao Lu's paper come from?" ”

"It can't be that he wrote it himself!" Han Jiang said with a smile.

"He? Does he have that ability? Tang Feng was puzzled.

"Alright, let's go through the whole incident from the beginning." Han Jiang changed the subject.

"The whole affair? Auction?! "Tang Feng now has a headache when he mentions that auction.

"Nope! This time, let's start with the jade interlude, and start with the jade interstitial screen that got the Stephen family this time. Han Jiang said categorically.

"The Stephens?"

"That's right! I rethought it in the past two days, and the whole incident seems to have started with that auction, but in fact it started decades ago, from the black lama to get the jade insert from Dunhuang. Han Jiang said and took out a piece of paper, and wrote on it the four locations of Helan Mountain, Dunhuang, Anima Qing Snow Mountain, and Heishui City in the east, west, south, and north, respectively, and continued: "The four jade inserts were placed in these four places respectively, and now we already know that the two jade inserts of Helan Mountain and Anima Qing Snow Mountain have never been touched for hundreds of years before we found them, and the jade inserts of Dunhuang and Heishui City have been out of place as early as the beginning of the last century. ”

"Well, the piece of Blackwater City was discovered by Koznov, and the piece of Dunhuang was discovered by someone else, and it was finally obtained by the Black Lama."

"I've been thinking about these two jade inserts for the past two days, do you say that the jade insert in Blackwater City was discovered first, or was the jade insert in Dunhuang discovered first?" Han Jiang suddenly asked a strange question.

"According to the age of the activities of the two historical figures Koznov and the Black Lama, it should be Koznov who first discovered the jade interstitial screen in Blackwater City in 1909, and the Black Lama's activities were mainly in the twenties of the last century, which should have been after Koznov discovered Blackwater City, and it is likely that the Black Lama deliberately looked for it after hearing that Koznov discovered the jade interstitial."

Han Jiang listened to Tang Feng's analysis, thought for a while, and said, "You have a point, I originally thought the same way, but is it possible that the actual situation is just the opposite?" ”

"The other way around?" Tang Feng was stunned. "Are you saying that the jade insert in Dunhuang has already been discovered!"

"At least earlier than Koznov. I remember you mentioned to me that Koznov went on two expeditions to Blackwater in 1908 and 1909. ”

"Yes! Koznov had come to China on assignment from the Royal Geographical Society, and according to his plan, he was supposed to inspect a vast area from Mongolia to Sichuan and Yunnan. The first time he found the ancient city of Heishui in 1908, he didn't find anything surprising, and Koznov thought it was just a deserted town, so he continued to his final destination, Sichuan and Yunnan. But when Koznov went to Qinghai, the Geographical Society sent a telegram to tell him that some of the cultural relics he found in Blackwater City were very valuable, so he immediately returned to Blackwater City and continued to excavate, so this was Koznov's second excavation of Blackwater City in 1909, and it was in this excavation that Koznov made an amazing discovery in the large stupa outside Blackwater City. ”

"What do you think prompted Koznov to return to Blackwater City from Qinghai to continue excavation?" Han Jiang asked.

"According to the past understanding, Koznov transported some of the documents found in Blackwater City back to Petersburg, and the famous Russian sinologist Yi Fengge found in these documents an ancient script that he had never seen before, that is, the Tangut script as we know it today, and then attracted the attention of the Geographical Society, and Koznov returned to Blackwater City."

"Could it be a jade interstitial?"

"Jade interstitial? Are you saying that Koznov heard the secret of the jade interstitial screen and returned to Blackwater? Tang Feng fell into deep thought.

"Why do I have this strange idea? Think about it, the Black Lama is a rough person, it is impossible to know the words on the jade interstitial, and he doesn't even know the history of Western Xia, how did he know all this and know the secret of the jade interstitial? ”

Tang Feng's eyes lit up, "You mean there is a master in that team?!" ”

"It must be like this, otherwise even if the black lama gets the jade interstitial, he will not be able to know the secret of the jade interstitial."

"Superior?" Tang Feng thought for a while, "I also thought of this layer before, but I thought that the master should be Stephen's grandfather Ma Yuan." ”

"Ma Yuan? In the team of the Black Lama, he is literate and hyphenated, but if you think about it, with Ma Yuan's ability, can you understand the Xixia characters on the jade interstitial? ”

"Could it be that there is a master next to the Black Lama and Ma Yuan?" Han Jiang's words made Tang Feng completely confused.

Han Jiang drew a circle on the word "Dunhuang" on the paper, then wrote an "X", and then drew a question mark next to the "X", and said: "Let's start with this 'X', there are two possibilities for the existence of this master, one is that the jade interstitial screen was discovered by him, and later he dedicated the jade interstitial screen to the Black Lama for some purpose, if so, then the jade interstitial screen of Dunhuang is very likely to have been discovered by this 'X' before Koznov discovered Blackwater City; of course, there is another possibility of this." 'X' was just one of the Black Lama's subordinates, who worked for the Black Lama like Ma Yuan, and eventually participated in the killing of the Black Lama at the Black Eagle Temple. As far as I'm concerned, I'm more inclined to this 'X' to be the former, because I think that this 'X' is far superior to the Black Lama and Ma Yuan. ”

"Your speculation is too shocking, but I still can't agree with your speculation, is there really this master 'X'? Maybe Ma Yuan knew Xixia Wen. Tang Feng shook his head, refusing to easily agree with Han Jiang's speculation.

"Will Ma Yuan know Xixia Wen?" Han Jiang shook his head, "No!" You said that the earliest person to crack the Tangut script in modern times was the Russian scholar Yifengge, and Yifengge deciphered the Tangut script based on the documents that Koznov brought back to Petersburg. ”

"Isn't that the question coming back? Yi Feng Ge is the first scholar to crack the Western Xia Script, and Yi Feng Pavilion cracked the Western Xia Wen after Koznov discovered Blackwater City, assuming that there is really this master 'X', is this 'X' more powerful than Yi Feng Pavilion? Before Yifeng Pavilion or almost at the same time as Yifeng Pavilion cracked the Western Xia Wen, I don't believe it! Tang Feng kept shaking his head.

"This ......" Tang Feng's rebuttal asked Han Jiang, Han Jiang held back for a long time before saying: "This is indeed a problem, but I still insist on the existence of this 'X', don't forget the oath that you and Lao Ma found on the stone platform in the apse!" Han Jiang reminded Tang Feng.

"The oath on the stone platform?!" Tang Feng's thoughts quickly returned to the deep and dark Xuangong in the mountains.

"You told me that only Ma Yuan's name was left behind the stone * oath, and there should be a few people's names, but they were all deliberately erased!"

"Yes! I've always wondered about this! ”

"Who do you think did this? Who will engrave their names and erase them? It was already in the deep and dark stone hall, and no one saw it, so why did it erase it? Are you afraid of people finding out? Tang Feng was speechless by Han Jiang's series of questions, and Han Jiang continued to himself: "I want to erase those words not because I am afraid of being seen, but ...... It's that those people are dead! ”

"Dead? Only Ma Yuan is a survivor? ”

"To be precise, they should have all been killed by the only one left!"

"Ahh Tang Feng was stunned.

"This is the most reasonable explanation, according to Stephen, Ma Yuan was killed at the end of the forties of the last century when he went to the seven-colored Jinhai to look for the jade interstitial, and according to your judgment, Ma Yuan killed the black lama and engraved the oath on the stone platform should be in the late twenties, no later than the beginning of the thirties, then, there are more than ten years in between, just imagine, what has Ma Yuan been doing for more than ten years?"

"Look for the jade interstitial, look for Hanhai Mi City!"

"Yes, in this process, the people who swore an oath on the stone platform must have experienced many, many things, just like us, so by the end of the forties, before Ma Yuan left the Black Eagle Temple, the people who swore with him should no longer be alive."

"In other words, in the past ten years, all the people who swore an oath on the stone platform have died, including Ma Yuan himself?"

"There are two more possibilities here, from the Seven-Colored Jinhai Grand Lama's account about Ma Yuan, it can be seen that Ma Yuan already had a group of his own people under his command at that time, and they were colonels of the Secret Bureau, which can be regarded as fledgling, so I speculate that he probably killed the few people who swore an oath with him on the stone platform in the past ten years, and also erased the names of those people; Of course, there is also a possibility that those people died of natural causes in the past ten years, or were killed in the process of searching for the jade interstitial, but if this is the case, it does not explain why the names of those people were erased. Han Jiang said his judgment in one breath.

"According to your reasoning, the mysterious master 'X' should also be one of the people who swore an oath on the stone platform."

"Well, I guess so. Now, according to my speculation, we can connect the whole thread of events. At this time, a gradually complete picture scroll seemed to appear in front of Han Jiang.

6

Seeing that Tang Feng still didn't believe in his inference, Han Jiang didn't explain, and continued to paint the picture that had unfolded in front of his eyes, "First of all, it's this master." X' first found a piece of jade interstitial in Dunhuang, and he cracked the Western Xia script on it, but he was lonely and could not find the rest of the jade interstitials, so it is likely that he told Koznov something about the jade interstitial screen in Qinghai in early 1909, because according to what we knew before, the jade interstitial screen in Dunhuang should be engraved with the storage location of the jade interstitial screen in Heishui City, which we can quickly let Professor Luo decipher. ”

"That's right! This doesn't need to be decoded by Professor Luo, we can already deduce it. But based on this alone, it is concluded that Koznov went to Blackwater City after listening to the opinion of this so-called master 'X', which really does not make sense, I checked the report written by Koznov after returning to China, and it did not mention anything at all under the guidance of 'X', and then he turned back to Blackwater City. Tang Feng retorted.

"Of course, Koznov could not have mentioned this 'X' in the report, Koznov wanted to take all the credit for himself, and the 'X' certainly did not want his name to appear in Koznov's report, so it is entirely possible for Koznov to hide this paragraph in the report."

"Okay, even if you're right, Koznov only returned to Blackwater City after listening to the guidance of this master 'X', and also found the jade interstitial screen of Blackwater City, but how does this help this 'X'? He didn't get the jade interstitial! ”

Tang Feng's words stopped Han Jiang, Han Jiang pondered for a long time, and said: "I think when 'X' told Koznov that there was a jade interstitial screen in Blackwater City, there may have been an agreement between them, and 'X' originally had a chance to get a jade interstitial, but in the end, Koznov violated the agreement and brought the jade interstitial back to Petersburg. ”

"Just keep making it up!" Tang Feng felt that Han Jiang had suddenly become a storyteller, and his imagination was extremely rich.

"Believe it or not, I'll finish my thoughts first, and you may believe it after you hear it. Although I can't be completely sure of the trace of this 'X', but this looming 'X' must exist, after Koznov's theft and excavation of Heishui City, this 'X' disappeared, but after the rise of the Black Lama, it should be that he dedicated the jade insert of Dunhuang to the Black Lama, obviously his purpose is to use the strength of the Black Lama to find all the jade inserts and find Hanhai Mi City. ”

"Then this 'X' killed the Black Lama with Ma Yuan, and then looked for the jade interlude together, looking for Hanhai Mi City, I'll tell you for you!" Tang Feng said with a smile.

"That's right! That's it, you don't laugh, do you know what will happen later? ”

"What's next? He was killed by Ma Yuan! I'm doing what you speculated! Tang Feng said.

"It's just a possibility. All right! Even if this 'X' was dead before the end of the forties, let's not talk about him, let's talk about Ma Yuan......"

"Ma Yuan? Didn't Ma also die in the stone waterfall cave at the end of the forties? ”

"Well, in the next ten years, it seems that nothing happened about the jade interstitial screen on the surface, until the Sino-Soviet joint scientific expedition team mysteriously disappeared!"

"In fact, this decade is an undercurrent!" Tang Feng Road.

"Yes, there has been an undercurrent in the past ten years, if the battle for the jade insert screen before Ma Yuan's death was the first half, then the disappearance of the Sino-Soviet joint scientific expedition team is the beginning of the second half, and the middle ten years can be understood as an intermission."

"Oh! At halftime, I think you're getting more and more interesting now! Tang Feng was a little convinced of Han Jiang's inference.

"So, what happened in those ten years?" Han Jiang asked himself and said, "Let's start with these two jade inserts that have been discovered, before, we already knew that after Koznov brought the jade insert back to Petersburg, the jade insert attracted the attention of the Russian scholar Yi Fengge in the thirties, but Yi Fengge died in the thirties." The Great Purge', and then the Great Patriotic War, no one cared about the jade insert, until the early fifties, Misha and Menlev found this jade insert in the Winter Palace, and then there was the Sino-Soviet joint scientific expedition at the end of the fifties, which was a clue from the Russian side.

Look at the jade interstitial screen in Ma Yuan's hand again, this time we finally got some information about their family from Stephen's mouth, according to Stephen, when Ma Yuan was killed in the Seven-Colored Jinhai Stone Waterfall Cave, Stephen's father, that is, Ma Changguo, and another person escaped, which is consistent with what we saw in the Stone Waterfall Cave, so I think what Stephen said is true, and then, what did Ma Changguo, who is also a secret service of the Secret Bureau, do? After the defeat of the Kuomintang in Taiwan, he did not go to Taiwan, but took the initiative to ask to lurk on the mainland, which was an unreasonable move at the time, and he must have had his purpose, which was obviously for the sake of jade interpolation. ”

"Well, it can only be explained like this, these people are all fascinated by the jade interlude!"

"Stephen didn't say what his father had done all these years of lurking in the mainland, and when he left the mainland, but I estimate that Ma Changguo is likely to have something to do with the disappearance of the scientific expedition team." Han Jiang boldly speculated.

"Oh?! Do you suspect that Ma Changguo also followed the expedition team into the Badain Jaran Desert? ”

"I don't think the expedition team Ma Changguo can get in, but he is likely to be following the expedition team."

"According to you, he was also a survivor when the expedition team finally had an accident? Liang Yunjie, Makarov, Misha, and another Ma Changguo ......" Tang Feng counted the survivors related to the scientific expedition.

"Maybe Ma Changguo is not just a survivor, he is also likely to be a murderer!"

"Murderer?"

"Have you forgotten? When Lao Ma reported to KGB Chairman Shelepin, he said that the day before their accident, the two large boxes of drinking water carried by the scientific expedition team had all leaked, and this was probably deliberately sabotage, and it was precisely after losing drinking water that the scientific expedition team encountered an accident when they went out to find a water source. Han Jiang's speculation is getting bolder.

"Do you suspect that Ma Changguo deliberately put those two boxes of water?"

"Who else? The members of the scientific expedition team were strictly selected by both China and the Soviet Union, and it was impossible for them to mix in the spies, and no one wanted to be killed by thirst in the desert without water to drink, so it could not be done by people inside the scientific expedition team. ”

"It makes sense to say that Ma Changguo is the most likely. But what about his motivation for doing so? Is it just to let the scientific expedition team be wiped out? ”

"Motivation?" Han Jiang's eyes rolled, "Motive, I want to ...... I think that the scientific expedition team was probably close to the Hanhai Mi City they were looking for, so Ma Changguo didn't want the scientific expedition team to find Hanhai Mi City, he released the drinking water of the scientific expedition team, just to let the scientific expedition team retreat in difficulty, and then he would discover Hanhai Mi City. ”

"This madman? He alone? ”

"Maybe he has accomplices."

"The scientific expedition team was too anxious, and they didn't find all four jade inserts, so they went directly into the desert, and sure enough, something happened!" Tang Feng sighed.

"Don't forget that it was a * era, the scientific expedition team was anxious to find Hanhai Mi City, so they organized such a huge scientific expedition team, thinking that there were many people and great strength, but in fact, this is not a matter of many people!"

7

Han Jiang continued: "When the scientific expedition team had an accident, the Chinese and Soviet governments adopted the method of calming the situation, and the governments of both countries lost interest in finding this Hanhai Mi City, and the Soviet side already knew that Makarov was recruited into the KGB, Misha was closely protected by the KGB, the jade insert was sealed, and the relevant documents were destroyed, and I think it was similar to this on our side."

It seems that this matter has come to an end again, but in fact, the surviving Ma Changguo did not dare to stay in the mainland, and even ignored the instructions of the Taiwan side, hurriedly crossed the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, crossed the Himalayas and went to India, and then did not dare to go to Taiwan, and directly took a boat to the United States, and then hid in Tibet and lived in seclusion in the American countryside until he heard that a jade insert was going to be auctioned in Beijing, and we already know what happened after that. ”

"If what Stephen said is true, then Ma Changguo's side has not made any moves in the past few decades."

"Well, I believe what Stephen said, and in retrospect, he probably was ready to die with Stephkin when he told us all this."

"Yes! A man is about to die, and his words are good! Tang Feng sighed.

"Ma Changguo guarded the jade insert in Dunhuang and hid in Tibet until he moved, so let's go back and look at the Russian side, the jade insert in Blackwater City was sealed by the KGB in the basement of the Winter Palace until it was discovered by Tymoshin. On the surface, there seems to be no action on the Russian side, but, now that I think about it, in fact, it is not, on the contrary, the Russian side has been surging undercurrents for decades, first of all, Misha, Misha was closely protected by the KGB, which made Misha unharmed, but the lost 1964 is very suspicious, according to Yelena's investigation, there must be something wrong with the agents who protected Misha around 1964, but when Yelena found them, Brynin was burned to death, and Stephkin escaped from prison. ”

"Now that Stephkin is openly appearing in front of us, this proves that there is something wrong with those agents!"

"Yelena suspects that maybe in addition to Brennin, Stephkin and Isakov, there is another person." As he spoke, Han Jiang drew a circle on the name "Blackwater City" on the paper, wrote a "X2" next to it, and drew a circle heavily on "X2".

"I've thought about it too, but I'm still not sure of the existence of this 'X2'."

"Yes, later, it was the forward base that Lao Ma and Bultenko were responsible for, originally Lao Ma mentioned this forward base to us, and it seemed that it had nothing to do with the jade interstitial, but the appearance of the mysterious tattoo made these two things linked."

"Yes! When Lao Ma said it, I was really shocked, the totem of the ancient tribe of the party appeared on the Black Lama's team, on the students of the advance base, and on the mysterious organization that was fighting against us, is there any connection between the three? ”

"There must be a connection." Han Jiang thought for a moment and continued: "The Black Lama's team was led by the Black Lama, and then Ma Yuan, after Ma Yuan's death, who is leading this team?" ”

"Ma Changguo?"

"We don't know yet, maybe this team was broken up later and no longer exists......"

"It should be like this, otherwise, Ma Changguo would not have run to the United States alone and hid in Tibet."

"But is there another possibility, that the team was taken over by someone else?"

"Who could it be? Everyone on the stone * oath should be dead, except for Ma Changguo, who else can take over this team? ”

"I don't know. Let's look at the mysterious organization that we have been fighting against, the head of this organization is the 'General', who is the General? We don't know what the internal connection he has with the Black Lama's team and the trainees who are advancing to the base, and I can't say it yet. ”

"Maybe we were too careful, according to Stephen, when the group got tattoos on him, they were very civilized, unlike Bultenko, maybe they were two people at all, maybe Buldenko was like he said, he saw that ancient totem, and then used it to teach disobedient students."

"I hope so, but since I heard what Lao Ma said, I have always suspected that this tattoo is not so simple."

"Perhaps, Yelena's investigation can help us solve some mysteries......" Tang Feng muttered.

Tang Feng and Han Jiang fell into a long silence, and after a long time, Tang Feng sighed: "Looking back now, the auction was not the beginning of the whole incident, but only a continuation of the second half. ”

"Not bad! It's kind of overtime, but this overtime has swept us all in. Now let's talk about the auction, Stephen said that the auction was a game set up by the general, and it dawned on me that some of the mysteries that we couldn't solve before were solved. ”

"Yes! In order to lure out Ma Changguo, who had been hidden for many years, the general did not hesitate to set up an auction bureau, but he didn't expect Ma Changguo to hide in Tibet for so many years, and he couldn't help but come out, although he asked Fanny to come forward, but the general still followed the vine, found Stephen, and then found Ma Changguo, not only let Stephen work for himself, but also got the jade interstitial! Kill two birds with one stone! Brilliant! ”

Han Jiang smiled, "I'm afraid there are more than scheming generals who kill two birds with one stone!" ”

"Oh! - "Tang Feng was puzzled.

"He not only solved Ma Changguo's side through the auction, but also lured Liang Yunjie."

"Liang Yunjie? But I think Liang Yunjie and I were unfortunately involved in the end! ”

"You were swept up by your curiosity, but Liang Yunjie is definitely not, I don't dare to say that the general set up this bureau is aimed at Liang Yunjie, but I can be sure that the general set up this bureau, in addition to luring out Ma Changguo, he also hopes to lure out all the people who know the secret of the jade interstitial screen, Liang Yunjie is obviously one." Han Jiang inferred.

Tang Feng nodded, "You do have some truth when you say that, it seems that I am an unlucky ghost!" ”

"And whether Liang Yongquan is real or pretended, in short, he showed no interest in the jade interstitial, so he escaped."

"Hmph, thinking about it this way, he gave us that piece of jade insert, and he really threw * to us."

"He threw it right, Liang Yongquan probably heard something about the jade interstitial screen from Liang Yunjie, so he knows that he is not capable of solving this problem, so it is better to throw * to us! But this guy was unwilling to give up the jade interstitial screen worth tens of millions, he knew that only we could solve this matter, so he made a gentleman's agreement with us, and when the matter was resolved, he would return the jade interstitial screen to him. ”

"Hehe, fortunately, Liang Yuan didn't inherit his father!"

"What? Scared? I'm afraid not to soak other people's daughters! ”

"I'm scared? I think Yelena will have you to suffer in the future! Tang Feng sneered.

"Gotcha! Get! Get! Let's stop arguing, let's talk about the following, the unexpected result of the auction may surprise the general, they didn't expect the jade insert to be auctioned by the wealthy Liang Yunjie, so they killed Liang Yunjie and wanted to snatch back the jade insert. But because we intervened in time, their plot did not succeed! After that, Stephen worked for the general, but he spent his old money in Hong Kong, and he could only work harder for the general until he completely broke with the general in Helan Mountain this time! Han Jiang finally connected all the information he had already mastered.

Tang Feng pondered for a moment, and then asked the question that had been bothering him all along, "But there is still one point that can't be explained. It's Qi Ning's death. Previously, we have analyzed that Qi Ning committed suicide under pressure from two sides? One side has been determined, it is Wang Kai, and behind him is the general, but what about the other side? Qi Ning was under strong pressure from the other party, so he hurriedly dropped the hammer and slapped the jade interstitial screen to Liang Yunjie. Could it be that the pressure on the other side is Liang Yunjie? ”

"I've also thought about this question, but it's a pity that Qi Ning and Liang Yunjie, both parties are dead, Wang Kai is also dead, and now there is no proof of death, it is difficult to figure it out, maybe it is Liang Yunjie's pressure on Qi Ning." Han Jiang couldn't figure this out either.

"Nope! I don't think it's possible, Wang Kai has already put pressure on Qi Ning in advance, since the general took out the jade insert as bait, he has to consider that the jade insert will be bought, and now all this gives me the feeling that the general doesn't seem to care who bought the jade insert, whether it is Ma Changguo, or me, or someone else, but the general is very reluctant to see the jade insert being photographed by Liang Yunjie. Tang Feng put forward his feelings.

Han Jiang thought for a while before he said: "That's the case, I also have this feeling, I can be sure that whether you buy it, or Ma Changguo, or anyone else, the general can deal with you, and you can deal with it, it seems that only Liang Yunjie makes the general feel the pressure." ”

"It stands to reason that the general is strong, the Liang family is not the general's opponent at all, the general doesn't need to worry!" Tang Feng was puzzled.

"There is only one explanation, Liang Yunjie was the insider back then, and the general was worried that Liang Yunjie knew the secret of the jade interstitial."

"Ma Changguo is even more insider, and he is more familiar with the jade interstitial screen than Liang Yunjie!"

"Then there are two possibilities, one is that the general is concerned about the Liang family's ability and prestige, and the other is that Liang Yunjie knows the secret behind the jade interstitial screen better than Ma Changguo."

"Better?" Tang Feng fell into memories, he was recalling the two brief contacts with Liang Yunjie, which were the two contacts that impressed him, every detail, every sentence, Tang Feng remembered vividly. Tang Feng recalled it again and said, "No! Judging from my two contacts with Liang Yunjie, I don't think Liang Yunjie will know more than Ma Changguo. ”

"You? You've met Liang Yunjie twice, how much can you know about him? ”

"Although it was only two times, when we met in Guangzhou for the second time, Liang Yunjie obviously felt a huge danger, since he was looking for me, he should have absolute trust in me, so I thought he wouldn't hide anything from me."

"Liang Yunjie didn't expect death to come so suddenly, he may still have something to say to you, but it's too late."

Han Jiang's explanation left Tang Feng speechless, Tang Feng pondered for a moment, took the piece of paper in Han Jiang's hand, and wrote down the names of Misha-Ma Changguo-Makarov-Liang Yunjie on the paper in turn, "These are the four survivors known from that scientific expedition, although Ma Changguo can't be 100% sure, it should also be counted." ”

"Well, it's really the four of them that are known now, and now except for the old horse, the other three are dead."

"Let's rank these four people!"

"In what order?"

"Whoever is closer to the mystery is in order!"

"Who's closer to the mystery, I think it's Misha!"

"I think it's Misha too, then, what about next?"

"Ma Changguo!"

"Well, judging from their performance afterwards, it is true, they are the people closest to the mystery, Misha was protected by the KGB, Ma Changguo ran to the United States and hid, and decades later, there are still people who want their lives, I can't help but say that they are the closest people to the mystery, and they are destined to have no peace in this life." Tang Feng explained.

"So you don't think Lao Ma and Liang Yunjie know much."

"Yes, there is no way to prove your inference just now, why the general is unwilling to buy the jade interstitial screen ...... Liang Yunjie"

"Maybe I have to ask Liang Yunjie and the general!" Han Jiang sighed.

"Of the four survivors, only Lao Ma is still alive, and maybe he and Yelena can bring us some unexpected gains."

Han Jiang listened to Tang Feng's words, his heart tightened, among the three survivors, Makarov was the only one who was still alive, could it be that danger was coming to him, thinking of this, Han Jiang couldn't help but feel sorry for Makarov and Yelena.
