I walked to the bedroom, and the star suddenly flew sideways, stopped in front of me, and stretched out his hands vigorously: "Eagle, listen to me, listen to me!"

He also had a flattering smile on his face, which looked even more ridiculous and infuriating.

"What are you going to say?" I asked calmly.

His light skills are very powerful, and if you don't use force, you will definitely not be able to get rid of his interception entanglement.

"Eagle, in fact, the truth is like this-" He only said a few words, Cai Xiaofo bounced up from the sofa, and stopped his words: "Eagle, let's take three steps back, you want eighty percent, and I and Sikong will each share one percent, okay?"

To be honest, when it comes to stealing and hacking, both of them are geniuses among geniuses, but when it comes to business bargaining, the two are undoubtedly equivalent to idiots, and there is no skill at all.

I sighed: "Sikong, Buddha, I treat you as friends and brothers, let's not waste time, okay? It's not a problem if you don't give me the golden points, but you have to be honest, what kind of trouble did you get into and need me to be a shield?"

To be able to bring a huge amount of gold to my door and to be willing to grab a small part of it, unless it costs me more, is such a good thing, and I will consult with any underworld figure, who will surely grovel and rush to them, and be willing to serve in front of their saddle.

The peculiarities of the "51" area determined that the fate of the intruders would be extremely dire, and since 2001, the Americans have caught a total of 19 cyber intruders. At present, these nineteen people have been locked up in the Pacific Black Prison from which they cannot be turned over, and it is more uncomfortable than death.

Sikong Xingxing and Cai Xiaofo looked at each other for a while, and at the same time raised their hands: "Eagle, we surrender, in fact, the truth is that we are being hunted down and killed, and we can only find you as a shield." ”

I quietly asked, "Who is the pursuer? Is the Pentagon assassination spy?"

The cleanest way to solve a case involving state secrets is to kill people, and Americans have been self-taught since the beginning of World War II.

Cai Xiaofo smiled bitterly: "If it's a Pentagon person, I can still bargain with them with my fame." ”

Sikong Xingxing frowned and sneered: "Hey, Buddha, things have come to an end, what are you still boasting about? Are you as famous as my 'King of Thieves'? Five months ago, I stole the watch, saber and football of the President of the United States in his country house, and if I really need to bargain, I have to come forward." ”

I put my hands on the left and right, and pressed the shoulders of both of them at the same time: "It's not an American spy, who is it?"

Sikong picked up the stars and fled away, grinning and covering his shoulders: "Hey, light, are you going to abolish my arm?"

Cai Xiaofo didn't escape, took a deep breath, and then slowly spit out seven words: "Diamond Killer Wang Lao Wu." ”

I couldn't help but sigh, "What? is this person?"

Sikong Xingxing muttered: "Of course it's him, otherwise we would still need to run away in such a mess?" from Japan to Russia to Nepal ......"

Wang Lao Wu is ranked higher than Tian Qi on the killer list, ranking fifth, Vietnamese nationality, good at disguise and poisoning and killing.

I immediately asked: "The spread of the information you got from the map is very small, could it be that Li Tian hired Wang Lao Wu to carry out the pursuit mission?"

One mystery after another, because at the level of "Diamond Killer", it is not difficult to kill Sikong Xingxing and Cai Xiaofo. Tian Qidu often praised his killing skills, calling him the most ingenious and ingenious master in Asian history, and claiming that if the two faced off, he had no chance of winning.

Because Li Tian and Wang Lao Wu are both Vietnamese, I will make such associations.

Sikong Xingxing cried with a sad face: "Probably, in Russia and Nepal, we almost died at least four times under his poison hidden weapon. On one occasion, his 'rattlesnake blow arrow' was nailed to the black bread I was holding. Alas, if I hadn't picked up the stars, if my light skills had been a little weaker, I would have been on the streets of Moscow. ”

Hearing him say this, I felt more and more suspicious, after all, the masters who can make it to the killer list rarely allow themselves to make mistakes and let their prey slip away from them. And for a super-killer, one hit is sure to hit and he will definitely retreat in shame, at least not again and again.

Now, I suspect that the other party's purpose is not to kill people, but to track and persecute them, which is a bit of a "follow the vine".

"We called Tian Qi and asked him to come forward to protect our name, but we didn't expect him to be really unrighteous enough, as soon as he heard the name of 'Wang Lao Wu', he was immediately afraid and shrank his head like a turtle. I told him directly that if he did not dare to come forward, I would go straight to Egypt to find you, and he agreed, saying, 'The eagle is busy, don't bother him.'" It is believed that he will arrive in Cairo by sunset tomorrow at the latest. Well, with his 'desperate three shots' here, at least he can withstand it for a while-"

Sikong picked the stars and chattered, I suddenly understood Tian Qi's thoughts, and there were countless heat waves bubbling and rolling in my heart.

Tian Qi didn't want to make trouble, but when he heard that two living treasures were coming to me, he was afraid of delaying my search for Leng Xin, so he stepped forward. Although he called, he didn't say anything, just silently shared the burden for me. People in the rivers and lakes, having a friend like Tian Qi is really the biggest harvest in life.

"Eagle, what are you thinking?" said Sikong Xingxing, sneering.

"I'm wondering, how did Li Tian discover the 'Sea of Gold'? What the hell is going on with that underground well?"

Cai Xiaofo suddenly yawned, folded the cookie paper, and put it back in the bag.

"I'm sleepy, so I'll borrow your big bed to sleep. He staggered to his feet and walked to the bedroom.

Speaking from his heart, his level of human sophistication is slightly higher than that of Sikong Xingxing, and he has a lot of whimsical ideas in his head, and often does some unbelievable things, such as the one they just talked about finding a Longtang killer to be his girlfriend.

Longtang, Area 51, and Wang Lao Wu are not easy to mess with, but I think the identity of Li Tian, the key figure in the "Sea of Gold" incident, will be more important.

Throughout the history of pyramid research, scientists have used all the most advanced detection equipment to conduct a comb-like carpet search of the Giza Heights. All the evidence shows that there are no dark tunnels under the Giza High Ground, and the proposition that "there is a three-story underground building under the Sphinx" in the conclusion of the scientific expedition is basically speculation and inference, which is not credible.

"So, how could Li Tian surpass all the research of his predecessors and suddenly step into the 'sea of gold'? This is not the era of ancient mythology, his record clearly states that he saw those massive amounts of gold, is it just an illusion that came out of thin air?"

Sikong Xingxing also went to sleep, leaving me to recline on the couch.

Having poured my fourth glass of wine for the day, I walked out onto the balcony with my glass in hand.

In the east, the morning dawn appeared, and the sky sounded one after another pigeon whistles, and at the same time, there were flocks of large and small pigeons that constantly broke through the silence of the morning and flew towards the east. Cairo's New Town is a luxury metropolis of celebrities and cars, while its old town is low and old, like a dumpster for the rich to dispose of.

I took my mind back from the "Sea of Gold" incident and put it back on the case of Leng Xin's disappearance.

Today, I have to find out one thing -- what exactly did the archaeological team find? The gentleman is not guilty, but he is guilty, and only from this aspect can he know the other party's intentions, and then deduce where the other party came from.

Within twenty-four hours, I will thoroughly track down the whereabouts of the moon and determine whether what she said is true or false, and then make further plans.

As the morning sun was in full bloom, I dialed Miz's number.

Cairo police officers live a quiet 9-to-5 life, and calling him at this time will naturally incur a hundred or a thousand sentences of slander, but before he can start to be dissatisfied, I first gag him with one sentence: "Officer Miz, there is a job that can easily earn 5,000 dollars, do you want to try it?"

The ice has mostly melted, with only irregular ice cores floating in the glass, reminiscent of icebergs hidden in the expansion.

"Five thousand dollars, what do you want me to do?" Mitz immediately became energetic.

I was relieved to know that I had made the right price for the right person, and that the deal would go smoothly.

"I want you to protect two people, it is to protect them closely, because there is a famous international killer who is chasing them, and they are in my room right now; second, I want all the information related to the 'Undead Guardian' and Mingyue in recent years; third, I want the official whereabouts record of Professor Leng Hannan and his party after entering the Egyptian desert; fourth, I want the information of the underworld forces that have appeared in the Egyptian desert within ten years, including the part that has been rounded up by the police. After doing that, you may get that money. ”

Except for the first one, I'm sure he'll be able to do it all. Before the truth of the incident becomes clear, the more information that can be gathered, the better, this is what I have thought of in my contemplation.

Officer Miz agreed: "Okay, I'll do it right away, don't worry." ”

Here, I have a slight negligence not to mention the matter of Researcher Shevie, because at the moment, Shevi is only an outsider in this incident, and her research commissioned by the professor is nothing more than routine work, and has nothing to do with the robbery.

I went downstairs at eight o'clock and took a note to the policeman guarding room 1806, and asked him to keep room 1808 strictly until Officer Miz arrived. The police came to stand guard for Sikong Xingxing and Cai Xiaofo, and they could finally feel a little more at ease.

As I walked through the hotel lobby, I casually remembered the man who had secretly looked at me yesterday, but it was only a glimpse, and I preferred to believe that I had too much heart.

The research society's address is easy to find, a small five-storey white building.

I walked into the foyer of the small building, and a girl in a smoky gray suit and skirt immediately got up from the sofa and greeted me: "Is it Mr. Chen Ying?"

She has large, talkative eyes, a slightly upturned mouth, a reserved smile, and two rows of fine, white teeth at the same time.

I nodded, and her smile deepened, "I'm Xiwei, please come with me." ”

Her black hair was long and smooth, draped over her shoulders, and when she turned around, she swayed slowly, sending a faint scent of lavender.

We went up a stainless steel spiral staircase to the second floor, where her office was at the end of the hallway, a small room with extremely light décor. In addition to the large desk, there is also a long table on which the sterile box, refrigerator, electron microscope, optical analysis balance and other necessary items for the laboratory are neatly arranged.

"Mr. Chen, I also deeply regret the murder of the professor. She leaned forward slightly, the smile on her face completely retreated, revealing a faint sadness, "The professor is an authoritative expert on ancient Egyptian biochemistry and cultural relics, and his death will be a loss for the study of Egyptian civilization. ”

She is Chinese and quite fluent in Chinese, so it was easy to close the distance between us.

I replied calmly, "Thank you for your concern, can we get down to business?"

Time is precious, and I have to make the most of every minute.

It seemed that the other party didn't like to waste time either, so she nodded lightly: "Okay." ”

As she walked over to her desk and turned on the projector, I glanced a few more times into the clear cooler on the bench. There are more than a dozen test tubes of different diameters stuck in the test tube rack inside, and each one has some black slices in it. The electronic thermometer of the refrigerator shows that the inside of the container is at -40 degrees Celsius.

"Miss Shevie, what are the three samples the professor sent?" I approached the long table, observing the black slices.

"Fragments of three ancient fossils, and from the looks they should have been an ancient gadfly, a Nile red-lipped beetle, and a Giza amphibian ladybug. Look at the picture—"

There was a snap, and an image appeared on the curtain above the long table, but the room was too brightly lit to see too clearly.

I turned my head to look at the four bright floor-to-ceiling windows, and she had already held up a smoky gray remote control and smiled at me: "Mr. Chen, if you don't mind, I want to close the curtains, okay?"

Actually, I should have noticed that she was deliberately avoiding the suspicion of "being alone in the same room", because she was so young, so beautiful and reserved and elegant, and indeed should avoid suspicion many times, but my mind was already attracted by the beetle in the picture, and I wanted to see it clearly, so I immediately responded: "Okay." ”

The thickened velvet curtains closed silently, and the room immediately darkened.

In the picture, three black insect fossils are arranged in a triangular shape, and the most intact is the ladybug, with a dotted pattern on its body that is faintly recognizable. The other two can only be revealed by the skillful hand of a biologist.

"They lived from about 5,000 to 8,000 years ago, and although I call them fossils, that's not rigorous. Because these three insects are not dead, but are in a state close to 'dead'. Mr. Chen, to put it in an easy-to-understand way, they are 'hibernating' for a long time, not dying. If there is no external force to destroy their habitat, they will continue to 'hibernate' until they wake up again. The scent of Syvi's hair was near, and she stood three steps away from me.

She magnified the image eightfold, and the ladybug's image became more and more apparent.

If her words are true, these things are only useful to biologists, and are by no means of interest to robbers.

"Please keep talking. I frowned.

"Mr. Chen, insects will not be the trigger for the professor's murder, if you don't want to listen to these academic materials, I have some other ideas that I would like to put forward and discuss with you, okay?" she walked over to the long table and pressed the switch of the sterile box, the heavy lid slowly opening upwards.

"Amphibian ladybugs of the same species have appeared in large numbers in some of the decaying pyramids, and it can be concluded that at some point in history, it seems to be a fashion or a strange sacrifice to put ladybugs into the pyramids. In the murals of ancient Egypt, ladybugs belonged to the 'worm of light', and the ancient Egyptians believed that this golden thing would lead them to gold, because it was the 'child of gold'. Mr. Chen, I have read quite a few books related to the 'Sea of Gold', and all of them invariably mention that Pharaoh ordered the slaves to put the gold together with the ladybug, and then cast a spell, at this moment, the ladybug would go crazy and eat the gold, and then the body would merge with the gold nuggets. After this ritual, they sleep with the gold and become 'insect mummies' baptized with gold. ”

I've read the information, but I've come to no conclusions, so at the moment, I'm just listening quietly and not expressing any opinions.

Putting on a pair of sterilized plastic gloves, Xiwei took out a teacup-sized glass observation dish from the round shelf of the sterile box, and turned around and brought it to me.

"Mr. Chen, this is the ladybug sent by the professor, please take a closer look at its lips—" We narrowed the distance to only one step, and with every word she spoke, a faint scent of orchid rose and fell.

This dish doubles as a magnification, so what I observed was actually what the ladybug would look like when it was magnified four times. Any insect that is magnified will reveal a hideous and terrifying face, and it is no exception, and its lips resemble two interlaced serrated guillotines. On top of those jagged teeth, there was a faint golden light.

"It was 100 percent gold, and as for its purity, it was simply strange, to four nines or even higher after the decimal point. Mr. Chen, people with a little common sense should know that the level of gold purification of the ancient Egyptians is still lower than that of the ancient Maya, even the gold statues, golden coffins, and gold masks that appeared in the Valley of the Kings are only between 95% and 98% pure. At this point, Professor Leng and I have reached a consensus that the gold powder on the lip of the ladybug is by no means artificially refined, and it is fundamentally different from any kind of gold product found in Egypt before. ”

Sylvie's tone was smooth and smooth, and as she was immersed in her own narrative, she unconsciously took another half step closer to me, and we looked at the ancient creature almost shoulder to shoulder and head to head.

I'm more concerned with the origin of the event than with the current predetermined outcome: "Did the professor say where the fossils were found?"

No matter what others say or do, I will firmly grasp the main thread of my own thoughts, and I will not be affected by anything. Now, what I want to know is to teach them what and where they found it, and then to track down the real culprits behind the robbery.

He refused to say, Mr. Chen, the rules of the archaeological community are relatively special, and anyone has the right to keep their own clues. However, when we were convinced that the gold on the ladybug's lips was different, he had an extremely strange manifestation - "Suddenly, the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window was slammed, and there was a "pop" sound, as if some large flying insect was bumping headlong into it.

She glanced in the direction of the window, and a sudden flush flew on her cheeks: "Oh, I'm sorry, it scared me." ”

I smiled faintly, "Please go on, did the professor laugh three times and walk away?"

That is Leng Hannan's common action, every time there is a discovery in the archaeological process, he will imitate the ancients "look up to the sky and smile and go out, how can my generation be a Penghao person".

Xiwei nodded: "Yes, it was indeed three laughs, but he said the following words to himself-"

She raised her head and imitated Leng Hannan's arrogant and high-spirited posture: "Haha, haha, haha, I see, this is what it means that the gold of the world casts the sea of gold? Americans are really smart, smart, smart, I understand, I understand-"

I couldn't help but be stunned, how could Leng Hannan mention the Americans? And praise the other party for being "smart"?

Although Leng Hannan is a scientist obsessed with archaeology, he has a strong political love and hatred, and he has quite a lot of criticism about the United States' two wars against Iraq in the name of "peacekeeping." With his reputation in the international archaeological community, he has received several sincere invitations from Yale University, and the other party has sent him several letters of appointment as chief visiting professor, but he has thrown them into the wastebasket casually. There is no doubt that he does not like the United States and scoffs at anything that is labeled "American".

Now, he praises "American ingenuity," whether with good intentions or with contempt, to show that his findings are related to Americans.

"Mr. Chen, can you speculate what the professor's words mean?" Xiwei sighed, turned on the photoelectric microscope on the long table, adjusted the height of the observation table, and then put the observation dish on it.

"That's all?Leng Xin, did you say anything?" the name was mentioned, and the blood scab on my heart was revealed, and I trembled with pain.

"I haven't seen Miss Leng since the professor discovered the fossil, and I heard from the professor that she was not feeling well and was recuperating in the hotel. However, please don't blame me for being too careful, every time he mentions Miss Leng, his expression becomes a little unnatural, as if he is trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart-"

The spotlight of the microscope turned on, and the ladybugs were shrouded in pillars of light, and the golden light became more and more dazzling.

"Angry?" I repeated.

Leng Hannan and Leng Xin have a very harmonious relationship between father and daughter, after Mrs. Leng passed away eight years ago, the two of them have a very dependent taste, work together, live together, and can be regarded as a model of harmony between father and daughter. So, when Leng Xin was mentioned in front of outsiders, how could he show an angry expression?

This is another unsolvable mystery, and I can surmise that the archaeological team has encountered a huge problem, even an unsolvable crisis. Unfortunately, they did not inform me as soon as possible, but instead rushed to deal with it alone, which led to the tragic situation that has taken place today.
