Thinking about it at this point, I am in a terrible mood, but this matter cannot be blamed on Shen Tangzhi and Hyde, and K, the culprit, I don't even know who he is.

Shen Tangzhi could see that I was sulking, and his face was apologetic, but he didn't say anything.

Old Dao and Hyde also looked depressed.

I looked at the expressions of several of them, and the stuffiness in my chest dissipated without a trace, since things are already like this, complaining about others and self is useless, why not save some effort and strive for your own opportunities?

This time, though, all of us were miserably calculated by K.

Shen Tangzhi and Hyde, they thought they were helping me, but because of this, they were used by K and inadvertently became K's accomplices.

In the beginning, K's email messages to her, although extremely helpful to her, were poisonous bait that led her and Hyde into K's trap. After that, K sent a text message to Shen Tangzhi, predicting the attack of the striae on my body and the strange dream, if Shen Tangzhi could believe me at that time, don't be misled by K anymore, and still be fine - but because my life is at stake, Shen Tangzhi doesn't dare to take risks.

When my blood jade was stolen, everything was different.

At this point, K finally tried to solve the problem and forced us into a dead end.

The pattern is the most yin and evil thing, and the blood jade "Yin and Yin Blood" is the only clue to unlock the curse that we know now - it is impossible for me to give up the opportunity to find the blood jade, and in order to help me, the old knife is naturally a two-sided knife, and Shen Tangzhi and Haide will think that they have to pay a certain responsibility for the theft of the blood jade, so it is impossible to stay out of the matter.

Thinking of this, I had a question, and I also turned around and asked Shen Tangzhi directly: "There is one thing that I haven't figured out." This time, K went to great lengths and seemed to want to pull you in, why? ”

"How do I know?" Shen Tangzhi didn't seem to intend to answer.

I asked, "When I came back from Blacktown, I took a closer look at the tattoos on my body, and then they disappeared for three months. During this period, I asked Cheng Cheng to find out your whereabouts, but even at the level of Cheng Cheng's father-in-law, he didn't have the authority to inquire about your whereabouts, how can you explain this? ”

Shen Tangzhi's face finally changed slightly, but it was only for a moment.

"How else do I need to explain? As I have already told you, Hyde and I went on a trip to England. Maybe Cheng Cheng didn't look for his father-in-law at all, just looking for an excuse - or maybe you should go to him again to ask for clarification. ”

When I saw her say this, I didn't force it to get to the bottom of it, but I knew that Shen Tangzhi's identity may not be as simple as a small forensic section chief of the Chengnan Police Bureau, when she suddenly asked for leave to go abroad, and the tattoo I brought back from Heishui Town must be inseparable, since she doesn't want to tell me now, there must be her reasons, and according to my understanding of Shen Tangzhi, the things she decided will never be easily changed.

Finally, I asked, "One more question is, since K has planned so well, what is our next step now, and does he have any instructions?" ”

"Here's the latest information." Shen Tangzhi handed me her phone.

The first is the four words "the opportunity has arrived", followed by a phone number, the phone number is surprisingly long, starting with 00977, and after the phone number, there are five words "Somol Ancient Country".

Lao Dao frowned at a glance: "International calls? ”

Shen Tang said: "This is the international area code of Nepal, the destination of the call, and it is a place called koang. I received this anonymous message this morning, presumably the next clue provided by K, but the call went unanswered, and then at noon, after receiving your call, I called Hyde to come over. ”

I glanced at Lao Dao, because the time when Shen Tangzhi received the text message was about the time when he found out that my blood jade had been stolen.

Shen Tangzhi and Hyde have already done their research, Koang is located in the south of the Himalayas, there is a small town here, and 11 kilometers west of Koang is the Dhaulagiri peak, which is known for its extreme beauty and extreme danger.

Hyde also brought a map, and we spread it out on the coffee table and found this small Nepalese town at the southern foot of the Tibetan Plateau.

"This K, is you telling us to go to this town? What the hell is this town in the ancient country of Somer? The old knife was puzzled.

I continued, "Have you heard of the ancient kingdom of Somol? ”

Shen Tang Zhidao: "It is an ancient country that only exists in legends, and there is no record even in the history books, only some countries in the southern foothills of the Himalayas, such as Nepal, have legends about the Somol Kingdom." It is said that the country was founded deep in the precipitous Himalayas, isolated from the world and incommunicado with the outside world. ”

Legend has it that the first to discover the existence of the Somer Kingdom was some lotus pickers looking for snow lotus in the snow-capped mountains of the plateau, they got lost in the snowy region, and met a group of tall, blue-skinned people in a desperate situation, they claimed to be the inhabitants of the Somol Kingdom, and rescued this group of lotus pickers, since then, the legend about the Somol Kingdom has been handed down.

Since the eighties of the nineteenth century, there have been attempts to find the city-states of the Somol Kingdom in the Himalayas, but they have not found anything, and some scholars say that the legendary 'Himalayan Yeti' may be the remnants of the Somol Kingdom.

Shen Tangzhi said that in December 1953, there was a British expedition to Nepal fully armed to find the mysterious ancient country of Somole, its leader Edmund Hillary and his Sherpa guide Tenzin Nogi, on the way to climb Mount Everest, found huge human footprints, suspected to be "Himalayan snowmen".

And because of the increase in the number of expeditions in search of snowmen, in the early sixties, the Nepalese government also legislated to protect snowmen and prohibit hunting.

Coincidentally, the most recent news about the snowman came from the small town of Koang, where in 1974, during a seven-day trip north of Namchebazar in northern Nepal, a young girl in Sherpa claimed to have been attacked by a snowman who stole food from the house and killed five calves.

Lao Dao was very dissatisfied with this: "This is all a clue from decades ago, and it is not certain that the girl is still alive now." ”

But in any case, all the clues now point to one outcome, which is to follow K's prompt and go to that desolate and cold Nepalese town.

However, entering the plateau and snow mountains is not a joke, and you need to prepare equipment materials first.

In this regard, Shen Tangzhi was prepared for a long time, she quickly made a list, and then handed it to me and asked me if I had anything to add.

I said, I will leave the material work to you and Hyde to prepare, and we will definitely rest assured.

Shen Tangzhi saw that I had no opinion, and concluded: "Well, most of the equipment and materials I listed can be bought directly in Jinguan City, and only some of the equipment needs to be transported from abroad by the Haidetuo people, which will take about three or five days." During this time, I will post information about recruiting guides, and you will need to get a visa and a ticket or something. ”

After the deliberations are completed, it is time to prepare for each other.

I don't have anything to prepare here, and now that the blood jade is gone, the white body will go alone, just put on the brain.

During this period, Li Yi learned the news that we were going to Nepal, and came over and asked me to tell his cousin that he would also take him with him this time, how can I say that his current identity is also an assistant of the "Jiguang Detective Agency"?

I just voted down.

What are you kidding, it's not a trip. To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that I really had no experience in the expedition, I wouldn't even want Shen Tangzhi and Hyde to come to this troubled water.

Five days later, I, Lao Dao, Shen Tangzhi, and Haide boarded a plane to Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, and then, without bothering to visit this ancient city with a history of more than 1,200 years, a vast Buddhist culture and exquisite wood and stone carved buildings, we rented two off-road vehicles in Kathmandu and immediately rushed to Nam Che Bazar in the north.

We didn't take a break along the way, and the four of us took turns driving until we arrived at the Namche Bazar.

Among the four of us, Hyde, Lao Dao and I, are the first time to enter the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, we got off the plane, altitude sickness first gave us a dismount, fortunately several of us are not bad, half a day later, has been better, and after arriving at the Namche Bazaar, has basically adapted to the plateau environment.

Shen Tangzhi had already booked a room in a hotel in Namchebazar, and just after putting away his luggage, a tall Nepalese man with a fuchsia face typical of highland people, wearing a military uniform, found us.

He told us in broken Chinese that there was a big man who wanted to see us.

I asked the big man for his name, and he gave me a disdainful look, and then solemnly announced a name - "Sir Tenzin Kava".

I'm not familiar with Nepal, so I've never heard of the name, and if it weren't for the fact that this person was wearing a military uniform, I would have immediately declined.

But when Shen Tangzhi and Hyde heard this name, their expressions were obviously stunned, as if they didn't expect it to be the case at all.

Shen Tangzhi simply made a decision on our behalf, accepted the invitation, and the man in military uniform took us into a military vehicle, and the driver of the car immediately started the car after we got into the car.

Ten minutes later, the military vehicle left the city.

Seeing that the road was becoming more and more desolate, I asked, "Where do you want to meet us?" ”

The big man in military uniform was silent on the road, and when he saw me asking, he turned back from the passenger seat and said stiffly: "Sir is now in Bago Maha Village, and it will be about half an hour away." ”

After saying that, he turned back and sat in the passenger seat, neither speaking nor moving, like a piece of wood.

The old knife whispered to me: "This person has a murderous aura on his body, he should be an old soldier." I had seen his hands, the mouth and index finger of his right hand were full of calluses, and they were the hands that had been holding a gun for many years. ”

But Shen Tangzhi told me and Lao Dao not to worry, or it is useless to worry, because this Sir Tenzin Kawa is a powerful man in Nepal.

His identity is known as the Tiger of the Snow Mountain, the legend of the Sherpas, the nephew of Tenzing Nogai, one of the first two climbers of Mount Everest, and a princess of the Nepalese royal family.

If Tenzin Nogai is compared to a legend that has passed away, then Tenzin Kava is undoubtedly a living legend.

Born in a poor mountain village among the many snow-capped mountains in Nepal's Dhaulagiri district, Tenzin Kawa was a rebellious boy who ran away from home at the age of thirteen after a fight with his father and hiked hundreds of kilometers through snowy mountains and jungles to Kathmandu.

A year later, when Tenzin Kawa was fourteen years old, he killed three adult strong men in a brawl, and when the court sentenced him to life imprisonment, he applied to join the world's five most fierce mercenary groups - the Nepalese Gurkha Mercenary Regiment. And after officially becoming a member of the Gurkha mercenary group, he received three military medals to be exempted from punishment.

It is said that Tenzin Kawa, who was only 14 years old at the time, laughed and agreed, and mocked the judge and said: You must regret such a frivolous verdict.

Sure enough, just sixteen months later, Tenzin Kawa passed death-level training and became a full-fledged member of the Gurkha mercenary regiment.

Tenzin Kawa served in the Gurkha Mercenary Regiment for a full forty-one years, during which time he wore as many as twenty-six medals on his chest, including one Victoria Cross.

During this time, Tenzin Kava married Princess Collit of Nepal and followed in the footsteps of his uncle Tenzin Nogai, conquering all the top 20 peaks in the world by anaerobic climbing!

Even though he retired to seclusion five years ago, his legendary experience, especially his anaerobic ascent of the world's top 20 peaks, has been talked about by major mountaineering magazines. The recent photos of Tenzin Kawa and Princess Collit are also frequently exposed in the newspapers by the paparazzi, enjoying the treatment of not being a star but being a star.

In Nepal, no one knows about Tenzin Kawa, just as we know about the Himalayas.

There is also a rumor that during Tenzin Kava's service in the Gurkha mercenary regiment, the number of enemies who died at his hands had already exceeded 100, so the Nepalese people will feel terrified when they mention Tenzin Kava's name.

After listening to Shen Tangzhi, I became very curious about this legendary man, but at the same time, I couldn't help but be puzzled - why did such a prominent figure seem to be waiting for us to arrive?
