Chapter Twenty-Six: The Midnight Train (Part II)

"Let's go." Before returning to the car downstairs, Tang Qianlin simply said these two words.

Just when everyone was about to get into the car, a car drove from a distance, and after the car stopped steadily, Li Yunfan got out of the car and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The situation has changed, we must set off immediately." ”

"Immediately?" Yi Mochen frowned, "Didn't you say early tomorrow morning?" ”

Tang Qianlin was not surprised, nor surprised, but asked, "Is something wrong?" ”

Li Yunfan shook his head and said, "I don't know, Section Chief Park just received a call from General Miyake and ordered us to rush to the train station immediately." ”

While Li Yunfan was talking, Tang Qianlin secretly observed Qian Sinian, Qian Sinian stood there very calmly, and his performance made Tang Qianlin confirm the speculation in his heart - he knew that Miyake Kyoji had arranged it like this, and originally planned to let them leave by train overnight.

This arrangement is for the sake of secrecy, so as not to leak their specific whereabouts to the third party, so as to disrupt the deployment that the third party may have.

Everyone got on the train separately and was led directly to Harbin Railway Station by Li Yunfan.

When they arrived at the gate of the train station, a Japanese officer from the gendarmerie stepped forward and stopped the train and told them to wait.

Tang Qianlin looked at the train station through the window, only to find that it was already heavily guarded, and there were almost no idle people, etc., it stands to reason that this season, at this time, the train station should be empty, but for the sake of safety and confidentiality, the Japanese still adopted a blockade and strict investigation.

"When we go to Fushun this time, we have to pass through three major stations along the way: Xinjing, Siping and Fengtian, and there are dozens of small stations on the way." After Tang Qianlin got out of the car, Li Yunfan took advantage of Qian Sinian to step forward to talk to the officer and talk to him in a low voice, "There are as many as seven military stations on the way, of which five are from the Kwantung Army, and only two belong to the National Defense Army, so you must be more careful along the way." ”

Tang Qianlin was puzzled: "Be more careful?" ”

Li Yunfan looked around and said: "Although Kyoji Miyake has blocked the news, this matter will still leak out, plus you said about my father, I'm worried about ......"

As soon as Li Yunfan said this, Yi Mochen interjected and asked, "What's wrong with your father?" ”

Tang Qianlin looked at Li Yunfan, Li Yunfan hesitated and said, "Old Tang suspects that my father is from Chongqing. ”

Yi Mochen was stunned, subconsciously glanced at Qian Sinian, who was talking to the Japanese officer in the distance, and said in a low voice: "Really? ”

Tang Qianlin said: "Xiangye told me personally, and he also tried to win me over. ”

Yi Mochen didn't know what to say, but he felt that this time it was a big trouble, and he also understood why that fake Xia Shuang said not to have anything to do with other forces, maybe Lone Jun already knew Li Qingxiang's background.

Li Yunfan said: "I kind of understand, why did my dad wash his hands when he was at the most beautiful." ”

At this time, Qian Sinian walked over, and the three of them quickly shut up and stopped talking about that sensitive topic.

Qian Sinian glanced in the direction of the station gate: "General Miyake asked us to go in first and identify something." ”

"Identification?" When Yi Mochen heard these two words, he felt a little strange.

Qian Sinian nodded: "Yes, identification, I don't know the specifics, the thing is in the carriage." ”

As he was speaking, the Japanese officer stepped forward, but he was not arrogant, and said respectfully: "Everyone, is it okay?" ”

Qian Sinian looked at Tang Qianlin, Tang Qianlin nodded: "Let's go." ”

Is it an overnight departure? Or come here to identify something? What is Kyoji Miyake going to do? Tang Qianlin walked into the railway station with the Japanese officer with this question, and went straight to the platform of three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry.

The platform is full of soldiers of the Kwantung Army, and people are arranged at the commanding heights, so it can be said that there are no dead ends in 360 degrees.

When he came to the separate carriage, Tang Qianlin found that the carriage was surrounded by soldiers, who were at least the size of a squad of Japanese troops, and all of them were armed with improved MP28 submachine guns.

The officer nodded to one of the leading soldiers, who pulled the door open with several soldiers.

When the door of the carriage was opened, a stone statue of Buddha was placed in front of the crowd.

Jun Cao and the soldiers who opened the car door immediately got out of the way, freeing up the line of sight for Tang Qianlin and the others to see clearly.

Qian Sinian said: "This is it. ”

"Buddha statue?" Yi Mochen took a step forward and moved slightly closer to the carriage, "Where did you get it?" ”

Qian Sinian didn't answer, but said, "You first identify what age this Buddha statue is." ”

Yi Mochen didn't come forward to take a closer look, and replied without thinking: "Ming Dynasty." ”

Li Yunfan walked to the door of the carriage, looked at it for a while, and agreed: "Yes, it's from the Ming Dynasty." ”

Of course, Qian Sinian didn't understand this, and asked, "Why?" The reason? ”

Yi Mochen walked into the carriage, stood in front of the Buddha statue, and pointed: "The characteristics of the Buddha statue in the Ming Dynasty are realistic clothing, you see the armor and stumbling silk silk of this Buddha statue are as real as the general, and then look at the Buddha statue itself, the face is plump, the eyebrows are long, the forehead is broad, the big ears are drooping, and the expression is solemn and soft, these are the common characteristics of the Buddha statues in the Ming Dynasty." ”

Qian Sinian didn't enter the carriage, just nodded and said, "Okay, this thing...... Will it be dangerous? ”

Qian Sinian asked such a sentence, which surprised everyone present.

Tang Qianlin asked, "Section Chief Qian, why do you say that this thing is dangerous?" ”

Qian Sinian smiled: "No, I mean, will this thing be dangerous?" ”

Tang Qianlin pondered for a moment and said, "It depends on where this thing came from, although this Buddha statue has been carefully cleaned, but the people who cleaned it are worried about damage, so there is still soil left in some places." ”

Tang Qianlin also walked in, pinched out a little soil from the gap in the Buddha's hand, sniffed it, and then said: "Judging from the composition of the soil, you dug it out of the miscellaneous soil, not flat soil. ”

Qian Sinian stood outside and asked, "What is miscellaneous soil and what is flat soil?" ”

Terminology. Flat soil refers to normal, natural soil that has not been altered before excavation. Tang Qianlin squatted there and looked at the Buddha statue carefully, "And the miscellaneous soil refers to the fact that this Buddha statue has either been dug up and reburied, or it has been washed out by heavy rain or mudslides due to natural factors." ”

Qian Sinian finally said: "It was indeed washed out by the rainstorm, Mr. Tang, you are really professional, you can see it in this way." ”

Qian Sinian's words also let Tang Qianlin, Li Yunfan and Yi Mochen know that in this secret search class, Qian Sinian is the person who knows the most except for Park Bingzheng, and it can be judged from this point that the Japanese not only trust Qian Sinian because of Park Bingzheng, they originally regarded Qian Sinian as a confidant.

So, on the other hand, it is speculated that Kyoji Miyake and Nobuyoshi Honjo transferred Park Byung-jeong because of this trust, will they trust Qian Sinian for the same reason?

In other words, Qian Sinian's identity may not be simple.

Qian Sinian said at this time: "There are two Buddha statues, this is just one of them, the strangest thing is that when this Buddha statue was dug out of the soil, several people died on the Kwantung Army, so I asked, is this thing dangerous?" ”

Yi Mochen looked at Qian Sinian: "Dead? How did he die? What's with? ”

Li Yunfan also asked: "Old Qian, what's going on?" ”

Qian Sinian nodded to the Japanese officer, and the officer said to the military cao who opened the door earlier, "Take out the specimen." ”

Specimen? Tang Qianlin looked at the military cao, who carefully took out a box from the huge military backpack and handed it to the officer with both hands.

The officer cautiously walked up to Qian Sinian with the box, but Qian Sinian said: "Show Mr. Tang, he is an expert, I don't understand this." ”

The officer walked up to Tang Qianlin and opened the box, Tang Qianlin took a closer look and found that five frogs that had been shriveled and only the size of a fingernail were nailed into the box with thin nails.

Yi Mochen and Li Yunfan also stepped forward to watch.

"What is this?" Li Yunfan took a closer look, "Frog? ”

Yi Mochen was also puzzled: "Such a small frog? It's smaller than a forest frog, and the first time I've seen it, it can't be a forest frog that hasn't grown up yet, right? ”

The officer shook his head: "The biological experts of the empire have identified it, this is not a forest frog, it is a creature that has never been seen before." ”

The officer said, took out a magnifying glass and gave it to Tang Qianlin: "Please think about the abdomen of this creature." ”

After the officer finished speaking, he removed the nail from one of the frogs and turned its body upside down. Tang Qianlin took a magnifying glass and looked closer, and found that the frog's abdomen actually had barbs, and the barbs were still shining with silver-white light under the light.

Tang Qianlin looked at it carefully for a while, and handed the magnifying glass to Yi Mochen: "Have you ever seen this kind of thing in all these years of being a foreign businessman?" ”

Yi Mochen looked at it carefully, and at the same time was reminiscing, and said for a while: "I haven't seen it." ”

"You should have seen it, this kind of frog is endemic to the Northeast, I heard that there is also this kind of thing in Siberia in the Soviet Union, it is very rare, it is called the ice frog there, and here we are called the ghost frog." Tang Qianlin pointed to the Xiaoice frogs in the box, "If these ice frogs are all alive, just one is worth a fortune." ”

Li Yunfan suddenly thought of something: "Is this thing also called a silver snow clam?" The kind we saw last time? ”

Tang Qianlin denied: "No, silver snow clams and ghost frogs are two completely different things, the role of silver snow clams is mainly medicine, and ghost frogs have many uses, in medicine, ghost frogs can treat burns, in the past, ancient nobles, would keep ghost frogs in the cellar at home to cool down and escape the heat." ”

"No way, it's definitely not a ghost frog." Yi Mochen took the open mirror and said in an extremely affirmative tone, "I've seen ghost frogs, ghost frogs can't be so small, they are generally half fingers long, and their bodies are translucent." ”

Tang Qianlin didn't argue with Yi Mochen, but just asked Qian Sinian: "Section Chief Qian, where did you find the ghost frog in the box?" ”

Qian Sinian looked at the Japanese officer, and the officer replied: "When this Buddha statue was dug up, there were such things everywhere around the Buddha statue. ”

Li Yunfan heard this: "Could it be that it was this thing that killed those soldiers?" ”

Without waiting for the Japanese officer to reply, Yi Mochen immediately said: "Impossible, although the ghost frog has a terrifying name, it is absolutely non-toxic and harmless." ”

After Yi Mochen finished speaking, Tang Qianlin was about to refute, but he couldn't help it, just nodding silently.

The Japanese officer said: "I don't know if this thing killed me, but after this thing was excavated, it didn't take long for our soldiers to die one after another, and after the identification of the military doctor, they all died of poisoning." ”

Tang Qianlin immediately said, "Can I see the corpse?" ”

The Japanese officer looked at the other car on the other side of the track and said, "The body is in that train." ”
