We tossed and turned in the snow for three days, and we received a lot of money, except for the wolves, tigers, and brown bears that the fat man said, and we encountered almost every common beast.

"I said fatty, now your trip to the North Pole has to end early."

"What a disappointment, I haven't had enough of it!"

"Fatty, do you still want to go back, don't forget what we're here for, don't you want to stay here and hunt for the rest of your life?"

The fat man sighed and said, "In addition to selling antiques, this is one thing that can make me interested, you are good, the fat man is not happy yet, and he wants me to leave." ”

I suddenly looked solemn and said: "Time waits for no one, we must go back as soon as possible, the British are eyeing Zhuge Longyun, even if they are in Beijing, they dare not ensure absolute safety." ”

The fat man nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll prepare and sell all this belongings for money." ”

"You are so virtuous, you think about money everything, when is the time." I scoffed.

"Money is a good thing, my daughter-in-law is still waiting for my money to support the family, the child's milk powder money, and the mother-in-law's filial piety money......"

"Gotta get it, don't talk about it, hurry up."

Early the next morning, we took the train to enter the country, and Ji Weiqi actually checked the identity of the fat man early in the morning, and there were no obstacles along the way, and we arrived in Beijing smoothly.

Coincidentally, a lecture was being held in the library of Peking University today, and we waited for a long time in Zhuge Longyun's office without seeing anyone appear, only to know that the person who held the lecture today was him.

"Zhuge Longyun usually looks very low-key, how can he go back to give a speech?" Cheng Yiyun wondered.

"This should have been arranged by Sister Qi." The more people there are, the harder it is to start, and the safer it is, and we are not by his side these days, which is probably also a last resort.

Cheng Yiyun led the fat man into the lecture hall. She pointed to the podium and said, "The one standing on the stage is Zhuge Longyun. ”

"I know.

On the podium, a kind old man is Zhuge Longyun. His subdued speech made the audience applaud one after another.

"Students, archaeology is an extremely important academic field in China, which plays a vital role in the excavation of ancient cultural and historical relics in China, and also has a positive and far-reaching impact on world culture. Over the years, the hype in the archaeological academic community has intensified, and academic rigor has been abandoned for the sake of money! ”

"This old professor has a bit of a demeanor, quite a backbone, dare to say this." The fat man underestimated in the audience.

"How to say this, this is also a professor of Peking University, representing China's top scholars, and what he says is naturally beyond our reach."

"Alas, what I admire for this difference is his courage and daring to tell the truth, not that he is highly educated." The fat man smiled, "In terms of learning, he may not be taller than me!" ”

"Why are you so shameless!"

……

The banner in the lecture hall was conspicuous, and the words in large letters read: "Warmly celebrate the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Department of Archaeology of Peking University".

"Lin Kun, I just heard a few students discussing in the bathroom, and after this report is over, there will be a so-called dinner, which will be attended by many authorities and scholars in the field of history and archaeology." Cheng Yiyun said.

"Who arranged this dinner?" When I heard the news, I was shocked and my back shivered, "Isn't this asking for trouble!" ”

"I asked, it was this afternoon, the decision just made, I think there is a problem here!"

"It's over, I have a bad feeling!"

……

"I have heard that the teacher has drunk fine wine all over the world, and the students have brought Wuliangye in the old cellar, Shaoxing daughter red, Shaanxi Dukang, and Shanxi Fenjiu." At the meeting, a middle-aged man toasted, this person was Zhuge Longyun's student more than ten years ago.

"Fat man, did you see that person?" This alerted me, "Now I can't show my face, look at it for me!" ”

The fat man immediately pulled out to Zhuge Longyun: "Teacher, do you remember me?" ”

Zhuge Longyun put on reading glasses: "Are you?" ”

The fat man can pretend to be confused, Zhuge Longyun doesn't know him, but he is familiar with it, and directly poured wine for Zhuge Longyun, and said: "I will first give my most respected teacher a glass!" ”

The fat man deliberately said to the middle-aged man, "Can I borrow flowers and offer Buddha your wine?" You are the teacher's student, and you are my senior. ”

He took the opportunity to observe the words and colors, and captured the slightest reaction on the middle-aged man's face.

The middle-aged man readily agreed: "Okay! Brother, let's toast the teacher together! ”

"Don't panic and drink first!" Guo Fatzi deliberately hesitated, "Senior, is this Shaoxing's daughter Hong?" ”

"Exactly!"

"Wow, I'm also from Shaoxing!"

"yes, what a coincidence!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Senior, let's wish the teacher a long and healthy life, all the best, good luck, and all the best......"

Seeing that the man did not have any abnormal behavior, I thought to myself: "It seems that this person has no malicious intentions, but he can't let his guard down!" ”

Zhuge Longyun drank the wine in one gulp: "Good wine!" Authentic Shaoxing original cellar aged daughter red, good wine! This is a tribute wine......"

I didn't let my guard down in the slightest, and my keen gaze fell on everyone who approached Zhuge Longyun.

During the banquet, a brown-haired and blue-eyed female student came to Zhuge Longyun and said in fluent Chinese: "Professor Zhuge Thank you for teaching me over the past four years, making me an excellent archaeologist. I'm almost graduating. This collar badge was left by my grandfather, and now I am giving it to you, which will add a touch of sparkle to your dinner. ”

When Zhuge Longyun saw the collar badge, which was printed with the image of the queen, he smiled and said: "Haha, thank you, I accepted it, thank you for your respect and recognition of me." ”

After saying that, he pinned the collar badge to the collar of his suit.

"Yiyun, go check this woman."

"Professor Zhuge , I am reluctant to Peking University, and I am also reluctant to you. Allow me to polish your collar badge for you, it will add a touch of brilliance to your brilliance. She took out her handkerchief.

I noticed that the foreign girl was unusually pretty, with curly brown hair that reached waist-length, shiny and elastic; He is tall and tall, with a straight chest and a thin abdomen, slender legs, large and bright blue eyes, and a shaped nose, like a fine sculpture of Byzantine art.

It was a kind of soul-frightening beauty, and it just made the fat man feel inexplicably strange. He immediately approached the girl, pretended to be drunk, raised his hands and fingers, and snatched the handkerchief from her hand.

The girl's soul-snatching eyes blinked, and her eyes instantly focused on the fat man, and she smiled charmingly: "You drank too much." ”

The fat man pretended to be confused and said, "Miss, what are I doing with you when I drank too much?" ”

"Please give me back the handkerchief."

The fat man smiled: "This handkerchief embroidery is good." ”

The fat man didn't have enough time to check if there was a problem with the handkerchief, which was already the limit of what he could do, and if he continued to make trouble unreasonably, he might expose his intentions.

The girl took a handkerchief and wiped the collar badge on Zhuge Longyun's collar to shine. Then, she turned around and smiled, and hurried away, leaving behind a rich body fragrance.

I felt that this person was unusual, and I wanted to follow her, but I didn't dare to stay away from Zhuge Longyun.

Zhuge Longyun drank a lot of wine, and when the dinner was almost over, Zhuge Longyun was invited to the stage to make a concluding speech. I saw him fall to the ground and walk to the podium, and suddenly fell face to the ground, and everyone present was frightened and hurriedly gathered around.

……

"Zhuge Longyun is dead!"

I was blinded.

"How so?" I was deflated, and my voice was out of breath.

I was indignant that the killer was killing people invisibly under his nose.

I felt even more ashamed that I was seen as nothing by my opponents.

Of course, I also felt unusually stressed.

"The other party's methods are far more clever than ours, it should be the British who did it, and they have reminded us that the rose collar is the most direct evidence.

"Are they provoking us?"

"Now no country dares to provoke us without dying, they are telling us that they are responsible for this matter." I explained.

"Have you investigated the cause of death?" I asked.

"The doctor said it was alcoholism."

"Are you sure it's not poisoning with other chemicals?" I racked my brain to think about every scene at the dinner party, even the smallest detail, "How could it be just because of alcoholism?" ”

Suddenly, I rushed into the emergency room like crazy, Zhuge Longyun's body was covered with a layer of snow-white corpse cloth, and several doctors were about to push the body to the morgue.

I lifted the corpse cloth, but saw Zhuge Longyun naked, I was a little excited, and asked the doctor, "What about Zhuge Longyun's clothes?" ”

Several doctors looked at each other, and I grabbed one of the doctor's collars: "Where's his clothes?" ”

"In... Over there...... Just lavaged him so ......"

I hurriedly put on rubber gloves, grabbed Zhuge Longyun's suit, pulled off the collar badge pinned to the collar, smelled it, there was still the smell of glass cleaner left on it, and turned back to Cheng Yiyun and said, "That's right!" ”

"The murderer is likely to be that foreign! Detergents are very common liquids for cleaning glass, usually glass cleaners contain a colorless but fragrant carbon tetrachloride. When the murderer wiped the collar badge with a handkerchief stained with this detergent, Zhuge Longyun inhaled a sufficient amount of carbon tetrachloride. In addition, Zhuge Longyun drank a lot of alcohol, and carbon tetrachloride and alcohol had a chemical reaction that led to death. This method of killing leaves no obvious evidence, so it is often mistaken for alcoholism. ”

"What's the use of talking about this now, that woman is long gone!"

"Zhuge Longyun is dead, and the loss to us is too great."

"So what do we do next?"

"Motivation."

"Motivation?"

"Yes, the British killed him, and it was the motive for killing him!"

"Needless to say, kill people and kill people!"

"Yes, kill people, but what does he know?"

"You have to ask him about this, how do I know!" The fat man said.

"Although he is dead, I remember an important clue he left us, Yiyun, do you remember when he said about the English missionary?"

"Remember, what's wrong?"

"This is the breakthrough, Zhuge Longyun should have studied this missionary, and obtained some amazing secrets from this missionary's research on Tibet, before he was burned."
