Xiao Ting was slightly stunned, hesitated for a moment before asking, "Then will you help me?" ”

I deliberately frowned, as if I was making a choice, and paused for a moment before saying, "I need to know Xiao Guolin's plan of action this time before I can make a decision." The last operation hurt us too much for you to understand. ”

"I understand." Xiao Ting said with a layer of things in her eyes: "My dad seems to have changed since he came back last time. In the past, he always tried his best to spend time with me, and although he spent very little time with me, I could feel it. As long as there are no field archaeological tasks, he is always with me, taking me to the park, going camping, buying me dolls, and he buys me these when I am in high school, and my classmates laugh at me, but I like it. He suddenly changed, he was short-tempered, he rarely spoke to me even at home, he shut himself in the house all day, and never turned off the lights at night. It's been better in the past two years, but I still see the difference, he's always afraid of something, looking at me with fear in his eyes, I can't see that he's afraid of me or our environment. He has a devil in his heart. I wanted to help him, I wanted to save him from his fear, and that's why I enrolled in the J.D. Department of Archaeology. ”

When she said this, Xiao Ting's tone became calmer, and her eyes brightened.

"Papa" sparse applause came from a corner of the room. I turned my head to see the fat man sitting in the swivel chair with a cigarette in his mouth, his hands still clapping rhythmically, and the expression on his face surprised me a little, there was no such trademark evil smile on his face. Immediately, the fat man took half of the cigarette in his mouth, spit out the smoke ring, and waved his hand, "You continue." ”

I'm annoyed that the fat man disrupts my rhythm, and this kind of pressure and digging holes should be interlinked, so that her brain follows my rhythm, and there can be no flaws and interruptions in between, so as to guide her train of thought. I secretly glanced at Xiao Ting, and saw a look of disdain on her face, and secretly relieved, fortunately she was not distracted by the fat man.

By handing her a glass of water, I drew her gaze back. "It's best if you can understand that. I will show you the information about Xiao Guolin's whereabouts in this letter, and the content that has nothing to do with it will not work. It's done to protect you, and that's what your dad meant. "What I'm talking about directly is what I can show you and what I can't let you know, skipping the detail that the USB flash drive is in her hand, I believe she will follow this misdirection.

Xiao Ting seemed to be much calmer, and didn't rush to answer me, her eyes wandered between me and the computer for a moment before saying, "You haven't promised to help me yet." ”

Of course, I won't agree to this kind of thing easily, the problem is that her head seems to be clear, and she is starting to grasp the crux of the problem, which is not a good sign. It seems that the pressure on her is not enough, since I have made it clear that I can't search and rescue Xiao Guolin and leave me, then I should be stronger, don't let her have a fluke mentality, and let him understand that the leading power is with me.

I quickly made up my mind, frowned, and said, "I have to read Xiao Guolin's letter before I can make a decision, I want to know his attitude and the purpose of the letter he left me." ”

Listening to my words, Xiao Ting also frowned. I'm not in a hurry, I'm going to give her time to make a decision, and I'm sure she'll make the decision I want. The situation is stronger than people, I don't think there is anyone else who can help her, she can only compromise.

The room was quiet, the sound of the clock moving was very loud, and even the sound of the fat man smoking could be heard.

"My dad said you were a trustworthy person, and I think he was looking at the wrong person." Xiao Ting raised her head, and the expression on her face seemed to be very relieved. "I believe him, but I don't believe you. Before I came to you, I looked for Uncle Cao Mingzhe and Uncle Zhou, I don't know what happened to you, but I know who can help me. Of course it's best if you can help me, and if not, I'll trade it for help. After saying that, she shook her hand that was holding the USB flash drive.

After hearing this, I felt sweat on my forehead. The tone of her words is similar to the previous performance, this girl's previous performance is acting? If it's true, then my performance is too clumsy in comparison. I'm a little annoyed and angry, being played around by such a junior, and still self-righteous, it really makes me ashamed. I felt my face flush a little, my body getting hot, and the plan in my head was completely disrupted. I calmed down and thought about it, I had a lot of lies in front of me, and if she had looked for Captain Zhou, these falsehoods would undoubtedly have been exposed by her a long time ago. Then she still listened to me as if nothing happened, where did this girl come from such a heavy scheming.

"Who else can you find to help you but me? Captain Zhou? Or Cao Mingzhe? "I immediately figured out the key to the matter, if she handed over the USB flash drive and handed it over to the JD archaeological team or the organizer of this operation, they would definitely be able to unlock the code, but no matter which unit it was, she would not be allowed to participate in the follow-up search and rescue work, of course, provided that there was a search and rescue operation. He wouldn't even let her know the contents of the letter, not even a single word of it. It seems that Xiao Ting understands this, so she didn't turn to the official but found me.

"I have contacted someone who is willing to help me, all I need at the moment is the content of this letter, thank you for helping me unlock the password. After reading it, I will give you a copy of the content, and not a word will be missing. Xiao Ting said very calmly and methodically.

But she didn't leave right away, I seemed to have caught something, she had a loophole in it. I desperately threw away the distractions and negative emotions in my head, and the question became clear: why didn't she leave in a hurry? She got what she wanted, she found a helper, and leaving right away was the right choice. She should be able to see that we don't move, and even the fat man is just scaring her.

"Who are you looking for? I know everyone involved in this. I asked, staring into her eyes.

"Yes, you know. But I won't tell you his name, it's part of my agreement with him. Xiao Ting looked at me calmly and continued: "Look, my preparation is sufficient, I can take action at any time. I have also investigated you, and I know that you have had an archaeological activity, a geological activity, in the past two years. Your studio is quite famous in the field of archaeological and cultural exchanges, and I was surprised to find that you have not given up on the last operation, and you are the only individual who is always doing follow-up work, and I admire you. You know, as soon as I saw your sand table, I knew that you and my dad had the same idea, you should know better where they are, search for missing people, you are the most suitable person, it's a pity..."

She had revealed her purpose and wanted to lure me into the urn, but she didn't know the fear in my heart, and I was doing something for a promise, but I really didn't think about going on it myself. I'm becoming more and more sure that the person who supposedly helped her was made up by her, and she had no other chips in her hand.

PS: It's cold today. The hands are a little numb.
