Chapter 146: Two Phone Calls

I didn't think about the level for a while. Is it AOE that has increased the level of attention to this matter and tilted more resources, or is it our government that has raised the level of secrecy in this matter? Seizing his respite, I hurriedly asked, "Who has risen in rank?" What level has it been raised? ”

"The Chinese government." Jack immediately said, "They've raised the level of secrecy on this matter. We've been sealed off, monitored by the military, and no vehicles are allowed to enter here. You know that only Wutong Liang has fresh water around here, and if you strangle the road into Wutong Liang, it is impossible for other archaeological teams to approach the Lop Nur area. The military seems to be aware of the fact that someone had entered the depths of the desert before the blockade and was asking us for details and trying to persuade us to leave. I feel that if we don't leave, they will resort to coercive measures, and their attitude towards us has become worse and worse these days, and they have become more and more impatient. ”

When I heard it, I didn't think it was good, the matter was getting more and more complicated and confusing, and it seemed to have entered a military-led trajectory again. If this matter is ultimately led by the military, I, who is on their blacklist, don't even want to get involved in it, or even have anything to do with it.

However, Jack is a little overly worried about their current situation, according to him, the current archaeological team in Wutongliang are all civil archaeological organizations from various countries, these archaeological organizations are very famous, behind the funding of the consortium, of course, there is also the support of the government of the country where they are located. Their identities and backgrounds are there, and it is impossible for the Chinese government to be rude to them without sufficient reasons. The way these organizations operate will not allow the Chinese side to seize the lever, and their actions are open and must be authorized and approved by the relevant parties. For example, my studio has the authorization to enter Lop Nur for inspection. No one can make a mistake in this kind of detail.

"Don't worry about that, they won't expel you easily, and it will require a higher level of authorization to act. What you have to do is do your best to gather information. I calmed his uneasiness and said, "You said that two archaeological teams have entered the desert, is there any news of them?" ”

"Nope. I'm worried that something is wrong with them, and in the past few days the army has been checking the number of the two archaeological teams that have entered the desert, and it is said that quite a few people have been sent to search for them. It's not that there is no chance to enter the desert now, but that no one dares to enter it. From the voices of the army investigators, I could tell that they were also in trouble at their base camp in Lop Nur. ”

It's a hassle. I comforted Jack with a few words to end the call. dialed Xiao Ting's mobile phone again.

"Hey, who are?" Xiao Ting is far less well-informed than Jack, and is full of doubts about this strange international long distance.

"Xiao Ting, I'm Zhang Jianqiang. Where are you now? ”

"It's you, why did you go abroad? Where are you? ”

Instead, she asked about me. "I'm in Burma." I say.

"Ahh I heard Xiao Ting exclaim. At that time, Myanmar was synonymous with war and crime. "How did you get there?"

However, she immediately reacted that our trip must be related to Xiao Guolin. "My dad was to Burma?" Xiao Ting asked in a more surprised tone.

"No, Xiao Guolin hasn't been here. We're here to find someone who can provide clues. "I didn't dwell too much on this issue and immediately turned the conversation to her." What's the news on your side? Are you still with Xiao Guolin's students? ”

"We separated. He provided a list of search and rescue teams that had searched for missing people before them, and he and I split up to find out what was going on. However, it is not optimistic, it is difficult to get useful information from their mouths, they are limited by confidentiality regulations, and some words cannot be said thoroughly. ”

I expected this and didn't hit her. "Don't worry, we can get a little bit of it, and the more information we get, the more we can find useful things from the middle. You alone stay safe and don't do risky things, you know. ”

"Well, thank you." Xiao Ting said very lightly.

"Also, has your dad ever been abroad? Especially half a year ago. ”

"Yes. I went out twice, and I remember going to Europe, as if I was attending some kind of conference. ”

"Where's his passport?"

"Keeping it at home, I saw it when I was sorting out his things. Do you need it? I'll go home and get it if I need to, I'm in Beijing now, and I'm going to go home in the next few days. ”

"Okay, you take Xiao Guolin's passport, and wait for me to go back and take a look, maybe there are clues on it."

"What clues?"

"Well, let's talk about it when we meet. It's not convenient for me to say it here. ”

I vaguely did not answer the question. Hanging up the phone, I decided on a trip to Laos. At present, the clues in other directions are not clear, so I have to try my luck in Laos.

When I got out of the convenience store, I got on my motorcycle, stretched out my hand to the fat man and said, "Key, I'll drive." ”

The fat man said with an unhappy face: "Are you okay, the road here is not easy to walk, don't plant the two of us on the road." ”

I sneered. "I can't do it. You still practice with my motorcycle, I'm a coach-level veteran, don't talk nonsense, take the key. ”

I insisted on riding on the motorcycle, and the fat man couldn't help it. Give me the key, sit behind me and hug me tightly, and say, "Lao Tzu's youth has just begun, don't destroy your hands." ”

I glared back at him angrily. "You're embarrassed to mention your youth with the vicissitudes of your face, have you ever had it?"

"I won't quarrel with you, and I'll ride the car steadily." The fat man said worriedly.

As soon as I released the clutch, the front wheel of the motorcycle suddenly rose off the ground, and I leaned forward, trying to press the body. The fat man screamed in the back, urging me to come down and change people.

I was so angry that I shouted, "Can you blame me?" You're too heavy, sit forward. ”

The fat man put his arm around my waist and squeezed it forward, and two hard things were pressed against my waist at once. I screamed in pain. "What do you have in your arms, it's dead."

"Magazine." The fat man muttered.

"Damn, why are you still carrying this thing. Let people ride well, don't you? I yelled.

I guess I couldn't raise my head when I scolded this thing in the house, and I didn't dare to take out these two bullet clips. It's good, it's like two knives directly on my lower back. Motorcycles swayed out of the stockade on slippery dirt roads with black smoke in their wake.

When I opened the stockade, I was sweating on my head. This road-breaking really tests driving skills and arm strength, the wheels are slipping badly, thanks to the fat man's heavy body, he can hold down the car, otherwise he can't grasp the direction at all. Even so, motorcycles are constantly making difficult maneuvers such as drifting.

I regret dying, I didn't expect it to be so difficult to go, but this is what I want to come over and I'm embarrassed to admit it, so let's drive forward. Both arms soon began to ache and weak, and both hands were even more shaken to grip the handles. When passing a narrow ridge by the edge of a pond, the rear wheel of the motorcycle pressed against a piece of mud, and the car slipped and wiped a piece of wet mud, and the people and the car slid into the pond.
