Chapter 20: The Empress's Skull
1
In a large classroom that can accommodate more than 200 people, Professor Chen Zijian was lecturing to his students on the podium, Tang Feng and Han Jiang walked in from the back of the classroom, and they didn't want to disturb Professor Chen's lecture, so they tiptoed to find two seats in the last row of the classroom and sat down.
Professor Chen Zijian is a well-known anthropologist in China, especially has a unique view on paleoanthropology, Professor Chen on the podium wears blue rimless glasses, a suit and leather shoes, and looks at his age, he should be less than 50.
Fifteen minutes later, Professor Chen Zijian ended his lecture early, and after the students left the classroom, Professor Chen cleaned up and walked towards Tang Feng and Han Jiang. Before Han Jiang could speak, Professor Chen first said, "I have already received the package you asked someone to mail from Petersburg. ”
"Then I'm going to trouble you!" Han Jiang hurriedly asked.
Professor Chen leaned against a desk, looked at Han Jiang, and then looked at Tang Feng beside him, Han Jiang hurriedly introduced Tang Feng to Professor Chen, and said, "You can ask him about the origin and history of that thing." ”
"Well, I have a few questions right now." Professor Chen asked Tang Feng bluntly: "According to you, this skeleton is from the Western Xia period?" ”
"That's right! We think it's the early Tangut period. Tang Feng said.
"Yes, after I received this skeleton, I have done a bone age test, which confirmed that this skeleton is indeed from the 11th century AD, more precisely, from the middle of the 11th century, which is in line with what you said about the early Western Xia. In addition, we have also determined the ethnicity of this skeleton, as previously judged by Russian experts, the owner of this skeleton belongs to the Tibetan-Arian-Mongolian race, and is about 40 years old. ”
"Is that all?" Tang Feng asked in disappointment.
Professor Chen looked at Tang Feng and said angrily: "This is only the preliminary test results, and the detailed report will take some days." Of course, you can't expect me to tell you who this skeleton is, I don't have that much power. ”
After speaking, Professor Chen got up and walked out of the classroom, Tang Feng and Han Jiang hurriedly followed, and when Professor Chen walked to the door of the classroom, he turned back to the two and said, "That's it, I'll give you the detailed test report in a few days, and ...... I'll keep this skeleton here for a while, you're okay with it. ”
"Of course I don't have a problem, but ...... However, you must be careful, don't ......" Tang Feng looked at Professor Chen hesitantly, looking like he wanted to speak and stopped.
"Be careful of what?" Professor Chen didn't understand what Tang Feng meant, so he raised his voice and asked.
"Be careful not to lose it."
"Lost it?" Professor Chen frowned, "How could I have lost it!" If you don't worry about me, you can go to someone else! ”
Professor Chen obviously misunderstood Tang Feng's meaning, and Tang Feng hurriedly explained: "I'm not worried about you, I mean that this skeleton is very important, and maybe other people will be interested in it. ”
"Oh! This is the first time I've heard of it, who would want such a skeleton? Okay, I see what you mean, I'll be careful, I'll lock it in the safe. After speaking, Chen Zijian ignored Tang Feng and walked straight out of the teaching building.
Tang Feng looked at Chen Zijian's back, walked to Han Jiang's side, and said, "This person is really difficult to get along with. ”
"It's nothing, people are good people, but they have a big temper, and people with ability are like this."
"People who have the ability are like this? Professor Law is not like him. ”
"Professor Luo?" When Han Jiang heard Tang Feng mention Professor Luo, he immediately turned to Tang Feng and said, "Tang Feng, you and Professor Luo should also hurry up." ”

When Tang Feng and Han Jiang returned to the headquarters, Zhao Yong had just returned from Hong Kong, and when Han Jiang saw Zhao Yong, he asked him very dissatisfied: "Why did it take you so long to come back?" ”
"Hey! Not to mention, Liang Yuan and I went to Hong Kong, but Liang Yongquan was not there, and after waiting for a week, Liang Yongquan came back from abroad. ”
Han Jiang softened his tone and asked Zhao Yong again: "Have you asked Liang Yongquan?" ”
"I asked everything you should ask, and according to your idea, I installed a pinhole camera in the collar of my jacket to record everything I said to Liang Yongquan."
"Okay, good job."
On the computer screen, Liang Yongquan's figure soon appeared, and Tang Feng recognized that it was Liang Yongquan's study......
After Liang Yongquan sat down, he didn't wait for Zhao Yong to speak, and first thanked: "Thank you for protecting my daughter, this child is too willful, I can't do anything about her, she is crazy all day long, when she was in school in the United States, she liked to run around the world, and now there is a Tang Feng, and she is not at home." ”
"This is what we have to do, and we also want to thank you for lending us the jade interstitial." Zhao Yong said.
Liang Yongquan laughed, "That thing, even if it is given to you, I don't care." ”
"Why?"
"Because it's a troublesome thing, and I can't sleep at night when I put it here."
"Oh! How so? What do you seem to know? ”
Liang Yongquan's face became serious, "This is obvious, my father died on this thing, besides, don't think that I don't know anything, although Liang Yuan didn't say much to me, but I have also heard about it, isn't it nine deaths and a life along the way?" ”
"How much more do you know?"
"Let's be honest, I know that the reason why those people are not relenting is not only to get the jade interstitial, but to understand the secret behind the jade interstitial, I'm right."
Zhao Yong was taken aback, he thought of Liang Yuan, it was not strange for Liang Yongquan to know this, how much else did he know? Zhao Yong continued to ask, "How much else do you know?" It's better to say it all. ”
"Basically, I only know so much now, and I may not know as much as Liang Yuan."
"You only know so much, don't you dare to be interested in the secret behind the jade interstitial?"
"Nope! I don't want to know, and I also advise Liang Yuan not to know this, we are doing well now, why should we mess with those rights and wrongs! ”
"But don't you want to avenge your father? Isn't that like you're in the mall? Zhao Yongqiu asked.
Liang Yongquan pondered for a moment and said, "I only understand now that my father was killed because he wanted to uncover the secret behind the jade interlude, and I also know about his participation in the Sino-Soviet scientific expedition back then." Of course I want to take revenge, but if those people can't even catch you, how can I do it? In short, how much money I have, how much energy I have, you know, I know better in my heart, I won't do anything like hitting a stone with an egg, which is more in line with my character. ”
"You're a shrewd businessman!" Zhao Yong's tone softened, "Okay, let's not talk about the jade interstitial, I still have a few questions to ask you, mainly a few of you." ”
"Please!"
"Do you know Qi Ning?"
Liang Yongquan thought for a while and said, "I don't know, but I seem to have heard this name somewhere." ”
"Do you know Wang Kai?"
"I don't know, I've never heard of this guy."
"Do you know a Russian named 'Tymoshin'?"
"Our company does have business in Russia, but it is all done by the people below, and I rarely deal with Russians, let alone know this Ji ...... What the...... Mo's. ”
"What about Makarov? Also a Russian. ”
Liang Yongquan shook his head, and Zhao Yong hurriedly added: "Your father knows this person?" ”
"My father? Just because my father knew someone didn't mean I knew it too. ”
"What about Professor Luo Zhongping? Your father seems to know him well. ”
"Hmmm! Professor Law is an old friend of my father's. However, I didn't know him well, and I only met him once. ”
Speaking of this, Zhao Yong was already hopeful of asking for valuable clues from Liang Yongquan, he sighed softly, and finally asked another question.

"Have you ever heard of a Chinese-American named 'Stephen'?" Zhao Yong finally asked another question.
"Is his surname Ma?" Liang Yongquan suddenly asked rhetorically.
Zhao Yong's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, he is surnamed Ma." ”
Liang Yongquan leaned back heavily, his eyes did not look at Zhao Yong, as if he was staring at the roof, and sighed: "This guy, I now suspect that the murderer of my father is likely to be him, but I am not sure." ”
"Oh! It seems that you are not idle, and you are also investigating your father's murderer. ”
"Not to mention the investigation, my father and I have always been law-abiding citizens, and I didn't know this Stephen before, but you also know that my father likes to collect antiques, and my father once heard others talk about this Stephen, saying how good this Stephen is, and there is a group of people under him, specializing in smuggling and stealing precious cultural relics and works of art, and many things are from his hands on the black market of art, but my father has only heard about it, and has not dealt with him. After my father had an accident because of that jade insert, I didn't suspect Stephen, otherwise I would have reminded you at that time, but then Tang Feng and Liang Yuan were attacked, and my bodyguard Huang Dahu was killed, I had to investigate secretly, and the conclusion pointed to this named Stephen, I reported my investigation conclusion to the Hong Kong police, but there was no follow-up, the police said that the gang did not operate in Hong Kong after that, they suspected that the gang had suffered a heavy blow, and it was likely that the game was over. That's it, I know so much about this Stephen. ”
Zhao Yong didn't expect Liang Yongquan to know a lot about Stephen, he nodded and said, "What you said is basically consistent with the situation we have. But this Stephen did not disappear because of the devastation he suffered in Hong Kong, he has always been our worst enemy. ”
"Oh! This...... This is strange, how can this Stephen have so much energy? According to common sense, with his strength, don't say to provoke you, it's me, he should also weigh it, after I began to doubt this Stephen, I have been puzzled, our Liang family has no enmity with him recently, no grudges in the past, and has never dealt with each other, why should he be an enemy of us? Is it just for that jade interstitial? I don't think I can do it! ”
"Stephen can't mess with your Liang family, but the black hand behind him is not afraid of your Liang family."
"Ahh - You're saying Stephen wasn't the mastermind. Liang Yongquan looked shocked.
Zhao Yong nodded slightly, and said: "As for Mr. Liang Yunjie's death, it is not just for the jade interstitial, but because he knows too much, after all, he is one of the few survivors of the scientific expedition team back then, and he has been studying the jade interpolation." ”
Liang Yongquan nodded thoughtfully, "I understand, there are more important people behind Stephen, which is why their energy is so great." But who will be Stephen next? ”
"That's what we want to know, and if you think of anything, you can contact us directly, and remember, don't go to the Hong Kong police, or anyone else, and don't do a private investigation."
"Okay, I understand."
Zhao Yong had basically finished asking Han Jiang's questions, he looked at his watch, got up and said, "Today has taken up a lot of your time, please forgive me, thank you for your cooperation." ”
"This is as it should be, and I hope you catch my father's murderer as soon as possible." Liang Yongquan also stood up and shook hands with Zhao Yong, at this time, Zhao Yong seemed to remember something, and said to Liang Yongquan again: "By the way, there is something I almost forgot, before coming, Tang Feng specially asked me to ask you to borrow something." ”
"Oh! This kid asks me what to borrow? ”
"He said that the last time I saw a book at your place, an old book, the "Four Painted Screens" written by Gao Luopei."
"Why, he's interested in this book? This is what my father used to see, and if he likes it, you can bring it to him. As he spoke, Liang Yongquan walked to the bookshelf, took out the "Four Paint Screens" from the bookshelf, handed it to Zhao Yong, Zhao Yong took it, turned two pages, closed it again, and said, "Yes, it's this book." ”
After speaking, Zhao Yong said goodbye and left.

"I didn't ask you to ask Liang Yongquan what book he wanted!" After Tang Feng finished watching this video, he shouted at Zhao Yong.
"I asked him to ask Liang Yongquan for it." Han Jiang replied for Zhao Yong.
"Why?"
"Didn't you be curious about this book last time? I'll borrow it for you. After Han Jiang finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Yong, who hurriedly took out the yellowed "Four Paint Screens".
Tang Feng took the book, flipped through it, and said, "What's wrong with this book?" ”
"This is for you, when you came back from Hong Kong, you told me that there were no other novels in the Liang family's study, only such a "Four Painted Screens" written by Gao Luopei, and you thought it was strange at the time." Han Jiang said.
Judging from the publication time and wear and tear of this book, it should be that Liang Yunjie used to read it often, and Liang Yongquan also said just now that his father read it, which is a little strange, but now it is easy to understand, four paint screens? Four screens? This book shows that Liang Yunjie knew that there were four jade interstitial screens for a long time, and other than that, I really couldn't see any other meaning. ”
Han Jiang stared at the yellowed page in front of him, shook his head, and said, "I really can't see anything, maybe I'm too suspicious." ”
"You still suspect that there is something wrong with the Liang family?" Tang Feng asked.
Han Jiang put together the "Four Paint Screens", sighed heavily and said: "Of course the Liang family is the object of my suspicion, after all, they are very interested in the jade insertion, Liang Yunjie is dead, I allowed Liang Yuan to join us, also to test Liang Yongquan, if Liang Yongquan and Liang Yuan have any abnormal behavior, it is impossible to escape us." But so far, apart from Liang Yuan telling his father some information about us at the beginning, he has not found any unusual behavior from Liang Yuan and Liang Yongquan. ”
When Han Jiang said this, Zhao Yong added: "In addition, I have also been investigating Liang Yongquan, this time I went to Hong Kong, I did not wait for a week in vain, I investigated the situation of Liang Yongquan and the Xinsheng Group in detail. Founded in 1979, Xinsheng Group started as the first through international trade, and later set foot in real estate, commercial real estate and other projects, and has developed to this day, international trade and real estate are still the main business of Xinsheng Group. In addition, I also investigated the relationship between the New Life Group and the Hong Kong triad, but I don't see any ...... they have anything to do with the triad."
Han Jiang suddenly interrupted Zhao Yong's words and said: "In other words, the Liang family can't be the mastermind behind the scenes, first, it's not reasonable to be reasonable, Liang Yunjie was killed, Liang Yuan and we went through hardships and dangers, all this can't be done by Liang Yongquan, right?" Of course, I have never believed in reason, and many of the most heinous criminals I have met in the past have often committed unreasonable cases; So I asked Zhao Yong to investigate Liang Yongquan in detail, which confirmed the second point, the Liang family does not have that strength, and it has nothing to do with criminal organizations such as the underworld, I believe in this article more, strength determines that Liang Yongquan can't do those things, he can't be the mastermind behind the scenes. ”
"Now you should always believe that the Liang family is innocent! The Liang family is the victim, not the one behind it. Tang Feng said.
"Then who do you think will be behind this?"
"I'm going to ask Stephen. Just catch him, and we'll know who's behind it. ”
"Nonsense! I know that, too. ”
"And then there's Yelena, there must still be problems with the KGB, and there are situations that we don't know about." Tang Feng reasoned.
"Yelena......" Han Jiang muttered Yelena's name, "I hope Yelena can make progress over there." ”

The next afternoon, when it was almost dark, Tang Fengzheng and Han Jiang were sitting in the office analyzing the ins and outs of the whole thing, just when their minds were in trouble, Han Jiang's mobile phone suddenly rang, and the rapid ringtone interrupted the thoughts of the two, Han Jiang connected the phone, and Professor Chen Zijian's voice came from the other end: "Can you come over now?" ”
"Come here?" Han Jiang looked outside the window at the sky that had just darkened, and there were still snowflakes. Thinking that Chen Zijian must have made some important discovery when he looked for him at this time, Han Jiang immediately said to Chen Zijian: "Okay, we'll rush over immediately, where are you now?" ”
"You're going to come to my lab, you know, you've been here before."
"Okay, I see, I'll see you in an hour."
Han Jiang hung up his phone and looked at Tang Feng, "How about it, come with me, Professor Chen must have made progress there." ”
"What progress can he make there? A bunch of bones! Tang Feng didn't expect anything from Chen Zijian's side at all.
"You'll find out when you go!" After Han Jiang finished speaking, he picked up his coat and walked out of the office, Tang Feng shook his head, and had to hurriedly follow.
The street was full of people in a hurry, rushing home from work, Tang Feng and Han Jiang drove into the city from the suburbs, thinking that they could arrive in half an hour, but when they arrived at Chen Zijian's laboratory, it was still twenty minutes later than the agreed time, and it was already dark outside.
It was close to the holiday, and at this time, there was no one in sight in the huge teaching building, only a window on the twelfth floor was still shining, and Han Jiang recognized that it was Professor Chen's laboratory. Tang Feng and Han Jiang hurried to the twelfth floor, with the heavy footsteps of the two, the voice-activated lights in the corridor lit up one by one, this is an old building, with a history of more than 20 years, although it has been renovated several times, but the wall skin on the wall still falls off a lot, the dim light reflects the wall of Ban Du, when Tang Feng and Han Jiang's figures are projected on the wall, it looks extraordinarily slender.
The two quickly found the laboratory that was still lit, the door of the laboratory was not locked, it was hidden, Han Jiang knocked on the door, but there was no movement inside, he knocked again, but there was still no movement inside, Han Jiang chuckled in his heart, is Professor Chen not there? Still is......?
Just when Han Jiang was still thinking nonsense, Tang Feng made a big effort and pushed open the door of the laboratory, in the laboratory, the lights were on, there was a dead silence, Tang Feng walked into the laboratory, only to find that Professor Chen Zijian frowned, he was sitting alone on the chair and was distracted, there was a row of microscopes and all kinds of glass bottles on the table in front of him, and some experimental instruments that Tang Feng couldn't name, Tang Feng and Han Jiang walked up to Professor Chen Zijian, Professor Chen noticed their arrival, and stared at Tang Feng and Han Jiang in surprise.
Seeing that Chen Zijian was fine, Han Jiang hurriedly said, "Sorry, we're late." ”
"Oh!" Chen Zijian seemed to have just remembered this matter, and hurriedly stood up, he looked at Han Jiang in front of him, and then at Tang Feng, the brows that had just been stretched out, and became entangled again, "That's the case, after you left yesterday, I have been studying the female remains you brought, and I have made a very important discovery, which can even be said to be a very amazing discovery, so I called you here." ”
"An amazing find? What exactly? "Tang Feng and Han Jiang both came to the spirit.
But Professor Chen was not in a hurry to say his astonishing discovery, but said to Tang Feng unhurriedly: "Before I tell me this discovery, I still have a few questions to ask you. ”
"Teach me?" Tang Feng was a little surprised.
"Yes, can you tell me about the origin of this bone? You haven't told me about the origins of this bone. ”
"This ......" Tang Feng hesitated slightly, he looked at Han Jiang, Han Jiang nodded at him slightly, and Tang Feng said, "Okay!" Let me tell you that this female skeleton was found in a tower in Blackwater City in 1909 by the Russian explorer Koznov, and when it was found, this skeleton was sealed in a very perfect Buddha statue, and there should be some fragments of the Buddha statue in the package sent to you, right? ”
"Yes, there are some pieces! Kind of like the shape of a human face. ”
"That's the head of the Buddha statue. Later, this Buddha statue was brought to Petersburg by Koznov, and after studying the bones in the Buddha statue, Russian experts came to the same conclusion as what you said last time, but the bones were lost in World War II, to be precise, it should be temporarily missing, and later, the head of this Buddha statue was found in the storeroom of the Winter Palace, so the head of the Buddha has been on display in the Winter Palace. Recently, we accidentally got a headless skeleton in Petersburg, and a female skull was found in that Buddha head, and Russian scholars judged that the owner of the bones in the Buddha statue should be the empress of Yuan Hao, the founding emperor of the Western Xia Dynasty. ”
"The Queen's bones?"
"Well, there are no bones of the Queen. The unearthed cultural relics and the examination of the bones show that she is indeed the remains of the queen who did not hide them. ”
"Then ......" Professor Chen muttered, suddenly, he raised his head, looked directly at Tang Feng, and asked, "So, are you sure that this woman's skull and the skeleton of the body part are the same person?" ”
"Ahh - What do you mean by that? Tang Feng didn't understand what Chen Zijian meant by asking, and was stunned for a moment.
6
Seeing that Tang Feng didn't understand, Professor Chen added: "For example, the bones and bones that Koznov originally found were replaced with the skull of another person, or the body part was replaced with the skeleton of another person, is it possible?" After all, as you said earlier, this skeleton was lost during World War II. ”
"What? This...... How is this possible?! Tang Feng was shocked, and Han Jiang was also very shocked.
"That's right, last night, I was here alone to continue to test this bone, and as a result, I came up with an incredible result, the body part of this bone is about forty years old, as I told you yesterday, and this skull, the bone age detected is only about thirty years old, a difference of eight to ten years, I thought it was very strange at the time, I couldn't figure it out, and then something even stranger happened, I thought about it, and fell asleep, and in my sleep, I had a dream."
"Dreams?"
"Maybe it wasn't a dream, or maybe it wasn't a dream, but in my daze, I heard a voice, a woman's voice shouting in my ear, and it was far and near, faintly, but I still heard the voice clearly."
"What did that voice say?" Tang Feng asked.
"That voice kept shouting in my ear: Don't put my head on that woman, don't put my head on that woman......" Professor Chen Zijian, who has always been unsmiling, actually described the voice he heard.
"Don't put my head on that woman? What does that mean? Tang Feng frowned.
"Maybe it's just my hallucination, I almost never dream."
"I think it looks like, you may have been too tired after a busy day yesterday, and you detected that the skull and skeleton are not a person, so you dreamed that a woman called out to you." Han Jiang said.
But I did hear that, and then I woke up, and I ran to the lab next door, and I saw that the bones were lying on the table in the shape of a human skeleton, and while I was staring at the bones, I heard the voice again, and I was sure that I wasn't asleep, it was a hallucination? But my body had always been very good, and the sound was endless, haunting me, and finally, I couldn't help it, so I moved the skull to the side, and strangely, the voice disappeared immediately. ”
"This ...... How does this sound like a tale of fasting! Tang Feng muttered.
"I'm not someone who can make up stories, you come and see." Saying that, Chen Zijian led Tang Feng and Han Jiang to a laboratory next door, only to see that in the middle of this laboratory, a large dark green table was placed, no! Maybe it was black, but in short, Tang Feng couldn't see the exact color of this table under the light of the laboratory, and on top of this large table, as Professor Chen said, according to the appearance of a human skeleton, the skeleton was placed, but the skull had been moved to another small table next to it.
"Whoa! See! Chen Zijian pointed to the skeleton on the table.
"Did you hear that voice today?" Tang Feng asked.
"Today I studied this skeleton again, and I also put the skull on the skeleton to take pictures, measure, and observe, but I didn't hear that sound again, but I was still a little worried, and when I didn't use it, I still put the skull aside."
"Where's the photo?" Han Jiang suddenly asked.
Professor Chen took out a few photos from a drawer, handed them to Han Jiang, and said, "My assistant just washed them out today." ”
Tang Feng and Han Jiang looked at these photos, there was nothing abnormal, Han Jiang frowned, and asked Professor Chen: "When the skull and skeleton are combined, they are quite consistent, with my years of criminal investigation experience, it looks like a person!" ”
"I don't deny your criminal investigation experience, but science is science, this skeleton seems to be very consistent, the age is in the middle of the 11th century AD, the ethnicity of Tibetan-Arian-race, the age and the ethnicity are all consistent, without careful study, it is impossible to see that this is the remains of two people." Professor Chen swore solemnly.
But how is this possible? Who would go to find the bones of two ancient people from almost a thousand years ago and put them together, not to mention the fact that this skeleton has been stored in Russia for almost a century. Tang Feng felt a little depressed in his heart, and his head was a mess.
"It's not my job, I'll give you the detailed report in a few days, but I'm sure the skull and skeleton belong to two different Oriental women from the mid-eleventh century."
"Isn't there a part of this that has been forged by modern people?" Han Jiang boldly speculated.
Professor Chen glanced at Han Jiang, there seemed to be a trace of disdain in his eyes, "I have thought about all these ideas of yours, and I have done all the tests, I found out the problem of this skeleton last night, why did I call you over now, all day long, I have been studying this skeleton with my assistant, I called you here after I have a positive conclusion, I can now be 100% sure that this skull and skeleton belong to two different women in the middle of the eleventh century, and there is no fraud." ”
Han Jiang knew that Chen Zijian was academically rigorous, and if he didn't draw an accurate conclusion, he wouldn't say it, he looked at Tang Feng helplessly, not knowing how to accept this reality, Tang Feng stared at the skeleton on the table in a daze, as if he was in deep thought.
7
After Han Jiang instructed Chen Zijian to restore the appearance of the owner of the skull, he said goodbye to Chen Zijian with Tang Feng. When they came out of Chen Zijian's laboratory, it was late at night, and Tang Feng and Han Jiang were walking in the dark corridor, and the voice-activated lights were lit up one by one, reflecting the slender figures of the two. After turning a corner, there was an elevator at the end of the corridor in front of him, but Han Jiang suddenly felt that something was wrong here, he looked up and saw that the voice-activated lights here had failed, and he stomped on the ground hard, but the voice-activated lights in this corridor did not respond.
"Strange? I remember when we came, the lights here were all good, how come a few hours, all the voice-activated lights here are broken, this is so fucking evil! Han Jiang cursed and took out his mobile phone to illuminate.
"Maybe it's a broken circuit!" Tang Feng said faintly behind Han Jiang.
"Broken circuits? That's evil enough! Han Jiang continued to walk forward, suddenly, Han Jiang noticed that Tang Feng behind him did not move, he looked back, only to see Tang Feng standing in the dark corridor, holding his mobile phone, the bright light emitted by the mobile phone was reflected on Tang Feng's face, Han Jiang saw that Tang Feng's face was a little strange, under the reflection of the bright light of the mobile phone, it looked particularly gloomy.
"What's wrong with you?" Han Jiang shouted at Tang Feng.
Tang Feng didn't answer, Han Jiang walked a few steps, came to Tang Feng's side, and asked again: "I'm still thinking about what happened just now, don't think about it, I think it's probably Misha and Ji Moshen who made a mistake." ”
"Mistaken? How can it be such a coincidence? Unless Koznov brought back one skeleton, and two similar bones. ”
"Maybe that's what happened."
"But Koznov and Ipungka's report only mentions the woman in the tower, never the other woman."
"And what do you say is going on?"
Tang Feng suddenly felt a slight pain in his brain, and his chest was a little stuffy, "I don't know, I thought that there was no doubt about this skeleton, but it turned out that there were new doubts, all this is too strange, maybe Koznov did bring back another skeleton, maybe Misha later confused it with another skeleton in the Winter Palace, maybe Professor Chen was mistaken, or maybe it was ...... Someone ......"
When Tang Feng said this, he suddenly stopped, turned around suddenly, and looked at the dark corridor behind him, Han Jiang was shocked when he saw Tang Feng's appearance, and he also turned his head to look at the corridor behind him, but he didn't see anything, Han Jiang asked Tang Feng suspiciously: "What are you looking at?" ”
"There was someone behind me just now!"
"Someone? Who is there at this time? ”
"That's the ghost, the ghost of the queen is not hidden!"
"Don't be stupid, there's no ghost! The ghost is Misha. Could it be that there are really ghosts that have escaped from the Winter Palace here. ”
"Nope! I felt it, she was nearby. ”
"Nonsense, I see that you are the same as Professor Chen, suspicious, let's go!"
Saying that, Han Jiang dragged Tang Feng up and dragged him straight into the elevator, the elevator door slowly closed, Han Jiang looked at this squeaky, old-fashioned elevator, and felt a little worried in his heart, this elevator must not have a problem, it is enough to have a problem at this time...... He looked at Tang Feng beside him again, his eyes stared straight at the elevator door, motionless, and did not speak, as if he was frozen, "Is there really a ghost?" Didn't hide the Queen's ghost? Han Jiang also thought about it.
Fortunately, this old-fashioned elevator is running normally, a minute and a half later, Han Jiang pulled Tang Feng out of the elevator door safely, and came to the hall on the first floor, in the hall on the first floor, there is a very small guard room, there is an old doorman on duty here, Han Jiang pulled Tang Feng towards the door, Tang Feng seemed to be a little sober at this time, he broke away from Han Jiang's powerful hand, and followed Han Jiang to the door.
When the two of them came to the gate, Han Jiang inadvertently glanced at the old man in the guard room, and the old doorman also noticed them, so Han Jiang walked over and said hello to the old doorman, and the old doorman asked Han Jiang, "Are you looking for Professor Chen?" ”
"Yes, we have something to do with Professor Chen Zijian."
"At this time, only Professor Chen is still here." The old doorman sighed.
Speaking of this, Han Jiang wanted to leave, but Tang Feng suddenly asked the old doorman: "Is there a ghost in this building?" ”
At this moment, Han Jiang listened to Tang Feng's question, and somehow, a cool air rose behind him, and the old doorman immediately changed his face, staring straight at Tang Feng with a gloomy face, and after a long time, the old doorman said slowly: "Young man, don't talk nonsense, I have been in this building for more than twenty years, and I have never seen a ghost, nor have I heard anyone talk about a ghost." ”
Han Jiang had no choice but to smile awkwardly at the old doorman, and hurriedly pulled Tang Feng out of the building.
