As usual, Li Zi'an and Gao Shan sat across the coffee table, and Dong Xi made two cups of tea and stood behind Gao Shan.

Li Zi'an put the compass on the coffee table.

Gao Shan's gaze fell on the compass: "I remember that the pointer was retracted, why did it come out again?"

Li Zi'an said: "I don't know, I guess the person who took it activated it again, but we don't know what method that person used." ”

"Take it?" Gao Shan's gaze moved to Li Zi'an's face, staring directly into Li Zi'an's eyes.

Li Zi'an met Gao Shan's gaze, his eyes did not flicker at all, and he said very calmly: "Chief Gao, if it is stolen, that person will not return to Zhao completely, so I said that it was taken away, not stolen." Of course, that person's behavior must have violated the law, and it should be investigated or investigated, and it must not be connived at. ”

"So, you know who that person is?"

Li Zi'an nodded: "I already have an object of suspicion, which is the statue in the Xindi Temple. ”

A strange expression suddenly appeared on Gao Shan's face: "Are you telling me that it was the missing statue that stole Queen Jingwu's bones and compass, and then returned them to you?"

Li Zi'an smiled: "Chief Gao, I'll talk about the statue first." ”

"Well, you say. Gao Shan glanced back at Dong Xi, "You go and sit next to the master, I'm a little unaccustomed to standing behind me so high." ”

Dong Xi stood behind him every time, he never said that he was not used to it, but this time he said that he was not used to it.

The old fox was clearly suspicious of something, and wanted to observe the reactions of the two men at the same time.

Dong Xi walked around from behind Gao Shan and sat next to Li Zi'an.

Gao Shan looked at Dong Xi: "Did the master tell you that he doubted that statue?"

Li Zi'an's heart was inexplicably a little nervous, but his face was not revealed at all.

From the time he came out of the mountain to the present, his face has long been tempered into titanium alloy skin, and his psychological quality is also quite strong, so this little pressure is not a problem at all.

"I saw the statue in the temple of the New Earth, and it was a statue of a woman, and the man the master was talking about was the woman in white, and she was exactly like the statue. Now it seems that the person who stole the statue at that time was the woman, and she was the only one who had that ability. Dong Xi said it unhurriedly.

Li Zi'an's heart secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he was worried that Dong Xi would not be able to stabilize in front of Gao Shan just now, and now it seems that his worries are unnecessary. Dong Xi's skin is definitely not as thick as his, but her psychological quality is definitely stronger than him, and she obviously has special training in this area.

This time I really owe Dong Xi a big favor, how can I pay it back?

Gao Shan's gaze moved to Li Zi'an's face again: "Master, how much do you know about that woman? You are so sure that she stole the bones and compass of Queen Jingwu, you must know her very well." ”

Li Zi'an was silent for a moment before saying, "I suspect that she is an abnormal human. ”

"Abnormal humans?"

Li Zi'an said: "The world of Xindi is the ancient Loulan civilization, which existed more than 3,000 years ago, but it was at least 2,000 years ahead of the Central Plains civilization at that time, and the stone used to build the temple was not a thing of this world. Based on my understanding and judgment, I suspect ......"

Gao Shan urged, "What do you suspect?"

Only then did Li Zi'an say it: "She is an alien, or a person who has lived for thousands of years." ”

Gao Shan was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to judge what Li Zi'an said.

This is outrageous.

"Chief Gao, do you think, if she is an ordinary human being, how can she take away the bones and compass of Queen Jingwu without leaving any traces in such an environment?" Li Zi'an changed his words, "Also, I was about to talk about this, and it was quite strange to return to Zhao this time. ”

Gao Shan's gaze returned to Li Zi'an's eyes.

Li Zi'an looked very calm: "Last night, I watched the stars at night, and I saw the general direction of returning to Zhao, and then I looked for it, and found Queen Jingwu in a forest. The strange thing about this is that she seems to know the results of my stargazing, and she knows when I will go, so she put the bones and compass of Queen Jingwu in that wood, but if she is not sure at all, she can't put those two things in that woods. ”

Gao Shan didn't say anything, just looked at Li Zi'an, obviously wondering whether Li Zi'an's words were true or false.

Li Zi'an continued: "She activated the compass, so the pointer popped up again, and it pointed to the west again. ”

Takayama's gaze fell on the compass again.

"Chief Gao, the compass points to the west again, and I have a hunch that there must be something in that direction, maybe it is a mine of that kind of ore. Li Zi'an continued to divert Gao Shan's attention.

Gao Shan reached out and picked up the compass and tried to turn it, but the needle always pointed in the direction of 12 o'clock, and he didn't even tremble.

Li Zi'an stretched out his right hand, pinched a pistol finger, and injected true qi, the index finger and middle finger suddenly trembled, and the volume also increased significantly.

Gao Shan looked at Li Zi'an's pistol and was dumbfounded.

Li Zi'an wanted this effect, he pressed the pistol on the compass, and the true qi was injected into the compass from his fingers.

A ray of green light suddenly burst out from the center of the compass and instantly disappeared into the ceiling.

Dong Xi and Gao Shan both raised their heads and looked at the green light, but it disappeared after only two seconds. The two of them returned their gaze to the compass again, only to find that the needle of the compass had pointed to the west.

"This ...... What's going on?" Takayama said in surprise.

Li Zi'an took the pistol back: "I use my inner true qi to activate this compass." ”

As soon as he withdrew his pistol point, the compass needle returned to 12 o'clock.

Gao Shan glanced at the compass, and then moved his gaze to Li Zi'an's face: "So, if we want to find the place where this compass guides, then you must lead the team?"

Li Zi'an nodded.

Takayama was silent.

Li Zi'an said: "This is just my judgment, maybe Dr. Zhang has some way to activate the compass, then there is no need for me to lead the team." ”

Gao Shan shook his head: "If Dr. Zhang had a way to activate this compass, he would have activated it a long time ago, and he can't wait for now, you can hold this compass." ”

"Shall I take it?" Li Zi'an wanted to take it, but he still had to put it on his face.

Gao Shan said: "There is a black cauldron that you are going to the west to carry it, you take this compass and find the place where it guides by the way." ”

"What black cauldron?" asked Li Zi'an.

"Have you been watching the news lately?" asked Takayama rhetorically.

Li Zi Anxin already had a premonition, but he said calmly: "I've been busy lately, I haven't watched the news much, Chief Gao, you just tell me what the black pot is, I can carry it." ”

Dong Xi had already reminded him to watch the news, so he said it here first.

"It's the black pot of ZJ. Takayama said.

Sure enough, it was this black cauldron, and Li Zi'an's head suddenly became a little bigger.

Gao Shan continued: "You know, the current international environment is very complicated, the Cold War mentality is revived, and some extreme politicians are turning back the clock on history and encircling our economic development around the world, and their methods are despicable, and they are shameless to the point of being outrageous. Our company is in a difficult situation outside, and ZJ has become their target, and the king over there ordered ZJ to sell its overseas business for a period of 45 days, and our time is running out. ”

Li Zi'an smiled bitterly: "Chief Gao, I have never pushed the black pot given to me by the sanatorium, but this pot is ...... Do you think I can memorize it?"

Gao Shan glanced at Dong Xi.

Dong Xi sat upright and looked very calm.

Gao Shan's gaze returned to Li Zi'an's face: "There is no way to ask you, a master, to come out, I know that this black cauldron is too big for you to carry it." ”

"Then you're still letting me carry it?"

Gao Shan smiled bitterly: "Isn't there nothing I can't do? I didn't explain to you last time that it was for this reason, we have studied and analyzed, and the chance of you carrying this black cauldron is zero." ”

Li Zi'an looked at Gao Shan and didn't speak, but there was a fragrant sentence in his heart that he didn't spit out.

Now that you know that the chance of success is zero, you still talk about a hammer!

Gao Shan said: "But I know that you have a lot of methods, the means are all over the world, if you don't let you try, I am unwilling, many people will also be sad, it is rare that ZJ's social software is popular all over the world, it represents our strength in the digital age, and culture, just like that, it is a pity, and it is easy to dampen the confidence of our entrepreneurs, this head must not be opened, so you have to try it anyway." ”

Li Zi'an's head is one or two bigger.

The black cauldron with zero chance of success also wants him to try, doesn't this make him go to death?

However, Gao Shan's words are very convincing, this matter is indeed infuriating, but all the Chinese children who are a little bloody can't swallow this breath. If he didn't even give it a try, he wouldn't be able to talk about it, and it would also damage his reputation as a black cauldron master.

Gao Shan glanced at Dong Xi, although he didn't say anything, but that look was a commanding language.

Dong Xi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Master, you just try it, how do you know if you don't try?"

Gao Shan followed and said: "Yes, you don't have restrictions, the means are all over the world, don't you try, are you willing?"

Li Zi'an said: "Anyway, there are still 45 days, give me a few days to think about it, I'll talk to my military advisor to see if she has any feasible plan, and I'm also thinking about how to carry this black cauldron." ”

Gao Shan frowned: "Is three days enough?"

Li Zi'an said: "I have a week. ”

"Let's take a step back, five days. ”

Li Zi'an: "......"

"You give me a definite answer in five days. ”

Li Zi'an nodded: "Okay, I will definitely give you a definite answer in five days." ”

Gao Shan was about to nod, when he suddenly remembered something, and then said, "No, what I want is not your reply, but a practical plan." ”

Li Zi'an: "......"

Gao Shan said again: "Dong Xi, you invite the master to your house as a guest, stir-fry a few dishes, I will accompany the master to have a few drinks at noon today, thank the master for returning to Zhao." ”

"Yes. Dong Xi responded in one bite, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

She wanted to hide it, but she couldn't.

Li Zi'an's heart was a little speechless.

For such a big event, a few drinks are considered to be grateful?

You're a dog.
