Xixia dead book

Chapter 68 The Lost 1964 (5)
However, Han Jiang glared at Zhao Yong, and said seriously: "This time I am going in an open capacity, as a colleague of Yelena and Lao Ma to talk to them, but no matter whether it is a diplomatic passport or not, I am not going to bring a weapon. , Firstly, to express my sincerity, secondly, a gun can’t solve any problems, if necessary, I can get weapons there.”

"In this way... I always feel unreliable, what if the talk collapses?" Zhao Yong asked back.

"Even if the talks collapse and I go in public, they don't dare to do anything to me!" Han Jiang said confidently.

Zhao Yong wanted to say something, but looked at Han Jiang, and choked back his words.At this time, Han Jiang said to everyone in an orderly tone: "This time we go to Petersburg, we will act separately. I will go alone in an open identity. The rest of you don't need to reveal your identities. Dr. Tang Fenghe will be a visiting scholar." Go, Tang Feng, your main task is not only to help me identify the authenticity of the jade screen, but also to contact as many scholars in Petersburg who have studied Xixia, especially the older scholars, they may reveal something Valuable leads."

Tang Feng took the lead and said, "It shouldn't be difficult to get in touch. There are only a few scholars in Petersburg who have researched Xixia. However, if I want to get valuable clues from them, I can't guarantee this!"

"No one needs your guarantee. We are all crossing the river by feeling the stones! As for Zhao Yong, you don't need to go to Petersburg for the time being. There are still some things you need to deal with at the headquarters. In addition, since it is the ceremony before the soldiers, if the negotiation is successful, you don't have to Go, if you talk about collapse, it’s not too late for you to show your talents at that time.” Han Jiang finally told Zhao Yong, although Zhao Yong was still worried about Han Jiang’s plan, he had no choice but to accept the order.

Everything was ready, but just before departure, Zhao Yong received a fax from Interpol. He only glanced at it, and rushed to Han Jiang's office. When he opened the door, Tang Feng was there, and Zhao Yong excitedly told Han Jiang Jiang reported, "Those two guys have a clue."

"Who?" Han Jiang and Tang Feng asked at the same time.

"Stephen and the blond woman."

"Oh! Show me quickly!" Han Jiang took the fax impatiently.

Zhao Yong introduced: "Stephen is a Chinese-American, and the blonde woman is named Fanny; according to information obtained by Interpol, they are leading a transnational cultural relics smuggling group, specializing in theft, robbery, and smuggling of valuable cultural relics and art. They have committed many art thefts and robberies that shocked the world, and were wanted by many countries, but they have been at large."

After reading the fax, Han Jiang handed it to Tang Feng, and asked Zhao Yong suspiciously: "Is there not much information about this group in the Interpol fax? Especially Stephen and Fanny, there is even less personal information about them. For example, their specific height, weight, blood type, fingerprints, as well as their experience, hobbies, etc., are not detailed, but this photo seems to be taken secretly, so I can’t see it clearly!"

"Yes, these two guys are very good at martial arts, and they are also very vigilant. Police from all over the world have never caught them, so there is no specific information about them. The photo was from the year before last when they attempted to kill the Louvre in Paris. It was followed and photographed by the French police before Gong's attack." Zhao Yong replied.

"Then what happened later?" Han Jiang asked.

"What later?" Zhao Yong didn't understand what Han Jiang was referring to.

"I mean the aftermath of this picture!"

"Later... Later it was said that Stephen and Fanny discovered that they had been followed, so they canceled their original plan. The two managed to get rid of the stalking of the French police and disappeared without a trace."

"These two guys must have received special military training, or even special agent training." Han Jiang concluded.

Tang Feng also finished reading the fax, and turned to Zhao Yong: "The records of this organization's activities in the past two years on this fax are almost blank?"

"I have also noticed this. In the past two years, this group seems to have reduced its activities, and there is almost no news about them." Zhao Yong replied.

"Could it be that they have washed their hands in the golden basin, abandoned evil and followed good? Obviously not!" Tang Feng said, shaking his head.

"Of course they didn't wash their hands in the golden basin. I think they disappeared temporarily to plan a bigger conspiracy and action. This action is for the jade screen, and we have already experienced it." Zhao Yong deduced.

Han Jiang frowned, thought for a long time, and then said: "Do you think that group of men in black who have been hunting us down is this cultural relics smuggling group led by Stephen and Fanny?"

Tang Feng and Zhao Yongwen were startled, "You mean there is someone else?" Tang Feng asked.

"Think about it carefully, would a cultural relics smuggling group be equipped with such advanced weapons? Would it have such a powerful intelligence gathering capability? ... And their people! Ordinary criminals would have such good skills?"

Han Jiang's series of rhetorical questions reminded Tang Feng and Zhao Yong, "Yes! From this point of view, Stephen and Fanny and their cultural relics smuggling group are just the tip of the iceberg, and our real opponent is still hidden behind the scenes!" After Tang Feng finished speaking, he took a deep breath.

Han Jiang read the fax again, and finally said: "Anyway, this fax finally let us know who our opponent is, although they are not the final behind-the-scenes. Our plan remains the same, everything is according to the original plan For business, we will go to Petersburg in two groups. Tomorrow, Tang Feng, you and Dr. Xu will go first, and I will leave in a few days, so it is settled, is there any problem?"

After Han Jiang finished his orders, he looked at Zhao Yong and Tang Feng. Zhao Yong had no problem, but Tang Feng squeaked. It seemed that there was something unspeakable. Han Jiang immediately thought of Liang Yuan, and said with a smile: "Tang Feng, don't you worry about Liang Yuan?" Right? Hehe!"

Zhao Yong also smiled and said, "Why, are you planning to take Liang Yuan with you?"

Tang Feng blushed, and said: "Of course I won't take her there, but I don't know how long it will take to go to Petersburg this time, so I have to give her a reason!"

"I knew you were doing it for Liang Yuan. Reason, isn't it easy to make up? Here, let Zhao Yong make one for you!" Han Jiang pushed the question to Zhao Yong.

When Zhao Yong heard this, he became anxious, "Oh! Why did you ask me to make it up? It made me seem to be good at telling lies. We revolutionary soldiers never tell lies."

"Just blow it up! If you don't look for someone, we're all gone. Miss Liang will definitely ask you for someone!" Han Jiang joked.

Zhao Yong became dizzy when he heard it, and said to Tang Feng: "You should make up a lie yourself, go and fool Liang Yuan, I can't beat her!"

Before Tang Feng could speak, Han Jiang interrupted him, and said to Zhao Yong: "This time our operation is confidential, and Liang Yuan is not in the plan, so we keep it a secret from her, and Tang Feng can't tell her. If we say goodbye to Liang Yuan in the evening, with Miss Liang's temper, will Tang Feng be able to leave tomorrow? Liang Yuan has to pester him. Therefore, we have to leave quietly. If it goes well, maybe we can get away in a few days If you can come back, after we leave, Liang Yuan will come to ask about Tang Feng's whereabouts, so you have to make up a reason for her!"

Zhao Yong thought for a while and said, "You can see if it's okay for me to say this. I told Liang Yuan that Tang Feng and Professor Luo are studying problems in retreat, and they don't see any visitors. They will come out in a few days!"

Tang Feng and Han Jiang were dumbfounded by Zhao Yong's clumsy reasoning. Han Jiang said angrily, "You are still practicing in seclusion, and you don't see any visitors! Do you read too many martial arts novels? It seems that you really don't know how to tell lies!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yong suddenly stood up and said, "Thank you for the compliment, captain."

"What did I praise you for?" Han Jiang was taken aback.

"Praise me for not telling nonsense!" Zhao Yong said loudly.

"I'm just complimenting you. When you're in this business, sometimes you have to tell lies and lies; you can't tell the truth and tell the truth about everything. How can we keep our secrets!" Han Jiang sternly said.

"Actually, I can tell nonsense, that is... I am not good at speaking in front of girls, especially in front of beautiful girls."

"Idiot! Just tell Liang Yuan that Tang Feng and I are going to perform a secret mission. The mission is kept secret, so you can't tell it! Say the same to other people, do you understand?"

"Understood!" Zhao Yong stood at attention again.

"Okay! Let's all go back and prepare!" After Han Jiang finished speaking, Tang Feng and Zhao Yong left his office.

The next day, Tang Feng and Xu Renyu set off first, and soon they reported to Han Jiang that they had arrived in Petersburg safely and everything was normal.

Two days later, Han Jiang boarded the flight to Petersburg alone.

[Section [-] Yelena's Dinner]

On the last day before the New Year, Petersburg, the pearl of the Baltic Sea, the whole city is immersed in the festive atmosphere.Han Jiang walked alone in this strange city, strange streets, strange environment, strange people, everything was strange to him.

As soon as he arrived in Petersburg, Han Jiang experienced the severe cold in Russia. Although he also went deep into the Animaqing Snow Mountain, it was a prepared action, but the cold winter in Russia far exceeded Han Jiang's expectations.He walked to the corner of Nevsky Prospekt, when a gust of cold wind mixed with snowflakes hit him, Han Jiang felt a shiver, and he raised the collar of the coat that had been turned up, but it still couldn't stop him The invasion of cold wind.

The sky was getting dark. Han Jiang looked up at the road sign on the corner of the street. Fortunately, he studied Russian for a week before coming to Petersburg. After spending a long time, he finally understood the road sign. The arrow on the road sign pointed east. The direction is the Winter Palace. Just now he has seen the Winter Palace standing in the wind and snow. At this moment, the place he is going to should be north - Suvorov Street.

Han Jiang turned to Suvorov Street and walked for a while, and there was another intersection. Han Jiang checked the signs and the map, turned into a small road, and walked for another quarter of an hour. Several apartment buildings appeared on both sides of the road. , There was a smile on the corner of Han Jiang's mouth, he arrived at the place, this is the place he was looking for...

In the twilight, Yelena came out of the hospital and got into her Fiat car. She had just visited Makarov who was still lying on the hospital bed. After this period of recuperation, Makarov's body had basically recovered, but The doctors still did not allow him to leave the hospital, and Yelena came to visit him almost every day, bringing Makarov some of his favorite veal and mushroom soup.

Although the street was bitingly cold and snowflakes were still falling, people celebrating the New Year still clogged the street. Yelena hurried back to her residence. She still had a lot of things to do. Thinking of this, Yelena snorted softly. !festival!For her, it is too far away. Since she was a child, she has no feeling for these festivals. Now, her occupation makes her have no time to enjoy the festivals.

Yelena honked the horn vigorously, but the car in front of her still didn't move at all, so she could only continue to wait. Although Yelena's driving skills were top-notch, she couldn't use it at this time.Finally, the car in front began to move slowly, and Yelena's little "Fiat" also moved forward slowly.

Yelena looked at her watch, it was 08:30, and she returned to the residence almost an hour later than usual. She parked the car, took the lunch box for Makarov, jumped out of the car, and walked into the dark corridor .

Following Yelena's light footsteps, the voice-activated lights on each floor turned on, the first floor, the second floor, the third floor...huh?Why is the voice-activated light on the fourth floor not on?Last night was fine, and Yelena suddenly became alert. She stopped and observed everything in the dark quietly. There should be no one in the corridor, but Yelena still smelled something different from usual!
Yelena did not take out her mobile phone to illuminate, but leaned against the wall in the darkness, and slowly moved towards the door. When she came to the door, her professional sensitivity made Yelena conclude that someone must have been there when she was not around. Here, even into the house!
Maybe... Maybe that person is in his room right now!Yelena tried her best not to let the key collide with the sound, and slowly inserted the key into the keyhole. She gently put down the insulated lunch box in her hand, held the key in one hand, and touched her lower back habitually with the other hand, because that It was the place where she usually put her gun, but when she put her hand in it, she realized that she no longer had a gun!

Yelena had no choice but to pick up the lunch box again, thinking it was a weapon for self-defense.Ready, Yelena turned the key abruptly, pushed it again, the door opened, and the room was dark, Yelena put down the raised lunch box, and went to find the light switch, the light turned on, and the living room was bright. But Yelena suddenly realized something was wrong!When I was leaving, the curtains were clearly drawn, but now, the thick curtains are completely drawn!No!Not only that, but she found out that there was a person sitting on the sofa with her back facing her, and when the person heard the movement, he turned around and smiled at Yelena, and said calmly in Russian, "I finally waited for you back! "

"Ah! Why is it you? Han! You... frightened me!" Only then did Yelena see clearly that the person sitting on the sofa was Han Jiang.

"You... you should have... expected... that I would come... to find you!" Han Jiang said to Yelena in broken Russian.

"why?"

"Because... because... you... took our...things!"

Yelena was amused by Han Jiang's poor Russian. Yelena smiled wryly, closed the door, and said in Chinese: "Yes! I should have expected that you would come to me. For that piece of jade screen, between us The account has not been settled yet!"

"That's right! The grievances between us must be settled." Han Jiang resumed speaking in Chinese, and felt a lot more relaxed.

"How did it end?" Yelena also sat on the sofa, staring at Han Jiang and asked.

"I saved your life in Animaqing Snow Mountain, so why don't you repay your kindness, ha ha!" Han Jiang put on a playful smile in front of Yelena.

"Yes! Yes, you saved my life!" Yelena nodded, "You want me to return that jade screen to you? What about the jade screen that originally belonged to the Winter Palace?"

"It's easy! Let's cooperate. This time I'm here to talk to you about cooperation."

Just as Han Jiang got to the point, Yelena smiled wryly, "Cooperation? That's fine, I don't care who you cooperate with. Tell me first, how did you get in?"

"How did you get in? You're not the Kremlin here, so why can't I get in? Don't forget what I do!" Han Jiang said with a smile.

"How do you know that I live here?" Yelena pressed her every step of the way.

"Don't underestimate my intelligence gathering ability, and don't underestimate my ability to act. I have been in Petersburg for two days. If I want to find a living person, I can still do it!" Han Jiang still kept a smile on his face.

After hearing this, Yelena spread her hands, nodded, and questioned Han Jiangdao: "Okay! Even if you are very powerful, but entering the master's room without the master's permission, is this your usual style?"

Hearing Yelena's question, Han Jiang put away his smile, leaned closer to Yelena, lowered his voice, and said in a low voice, "Forgive me for taking the liberty, because I can't guarantee if there are any of you outside, and more importantly, are there any of us?" Therefore, just in case, I had to break into your boudoir, and if I am presumptuous, please forgive me, Miss Yelena!"

"Our enemy? You mean that group of men in black came to Petersburg?" Yelena suddenly became nervous again.

"It's entirely possible that they didn't succeed in the Heitou Shishi, and they will never let it go!"

"Don't scare me. I've always been safe here. I've never noticed any suspicious people around here, except of course I met you today!" Yelena was still angry.

"I'm not scaring you, time is running out, we really need to cooperate and deal with the common danger together!"
