Xixia dead book

Chapter 156 The Decisive Battle at the Peak of Helan (41)
"Then check Burdenko." Han Jiang rolled his eyes and said again, "And... that Shchedrin. Old Ma, you can ask him again, let him recall the past, especially the forward The base riot thing, I think that's very important."

"I think so too. There are indications that the mysterious organization we are facing now has something to do with the forward base." Makarov hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said, "I'm ashamed to say that I was still The person in charge of the forward base..."

"And that White, the American White that Schedrin mentioned was very suspicious. Later, Stephen also met an American named White!" Han Jiang instructed Makarov.

"White?" Makarov shook his head, "I'm afraid that Shchedrin won't know much. He already said last time that he never got in touch with Stechkin again, and White also disappeared."

"No matter what, you must ask him again." Han Jiang urged.

"Okay! Han, you don't need to teach us how to do it step by step. Don't forget that we are also agents. I still need to check the last autopsy report of Brainin and learn about Stechkin's situation in Ponotzka. In short, Everything you can think of, I must have already thought of it before you." Yelena said confidently.

Han Jiang smiled awkwardly: "I just like your confident look. I'm relieved to hear you say that."

After sending Yelena and Makarov away, Tang Feng and Han Jiang hadn’t had a moment’s leisure when Lao Jin’s phone call came after him: “Old Han, where have you been? I’ve been calling you for the past few days , no one answered!"

"Old Jin, I went to perform a special mission a few days ago."

"Special mission? Then I won't ask."

"Why, has Professor Chen's case progressed?"

"Progress? Not to mention any progress, but Chen Zijian's autopsy report came out."

"Oh? Did you find anything?" Han Jiang asked impatiently.

"It's like this..." Lao Jin hesitated to speak, "You better come here, let's meet and talk."

"Okay, see you in 10 minutes." After hanging up the phone, Han Jiang slammed the steering wheel, turned around and ran towards the criminal police team.

Ten minutes later, Tang Feng and Han Jiang came to the criminal police team.Lao Jin took out Professor Chen Zijian's autopsy report, hesitated for a while, and then said: "The conclusion of the autopsy is not complicated, I can tell you on the phone just now. It's just..."

"Old Jin, when did you hesitate to vomit?"

"It's just that Professor Chen Zijian's death conclusion confuses me, so I invited you here." Lao Jin explained.

"Unintelligible? Didn't you say that Chen Zijian committed suicide last time? What? Now he killed him?" Han Jiang asked back.

"No! No! That's not what I meant. Up to now, whether Chen Zijian committed suicide or homicide is still not finalized. So this case is still dragging on, and I personally still tend to commit suicide." Lao Jin looked at Han Jiang, and then Look at Tang Feng, and explain further, "What I said was inexplicable, I actually told you at the scene last time. Chen Zijian's strange death posture has always troubled me, and the autopsy report clearly pointed out that Chen Zijian was caused by A huge shock from the outside led to the rupture of a cerebral blood vessel and died."

"Really scared to death?" Tang Feng said in shock, "However, Professor Chen Zijian's assistant, Xiao Lu, said that Professor Chen has no cardiovascular disease."

"This is the most inexplicable part. We later consulted the medical records and physical examination records of Professor Chen Zijian, and he did not have cardiovascular disease. How can people who do not have cardiovascular disease be easily scared to death? This is my It's a puzzling place. I've been a criminal police officer for half my life, and I've seen people who were scared to death, but without exception, they all had cardiovascular problems. This is the first time I've seen Professor Chen Zijian It's really weird! The posture of death is even weirder..." Lao Jin said in a rambling voice.

After Han Jiang and Tang Feng listened to Lao Jin's chatter, it was already noon.The two walked out of the criminal police team, and Han Jiang asked Tang Feng: "How is it? What have you gained?"

"I want to visit Professor Chen's laboratory again." Tang Feng did not answer Han Jiang's question directly.

"Why, what did you think of?" Han Jiang asked back.

"I always feel that we must have overlooked something in the matter of Professor Chen..." Tang Feng seemed to be muttering to himself.

"You still suspect that Professor Chen committed suicide?"

"Go and see first!"

The two soon came to Professor Chen's laboratory.It was lunch break, and there was no one in the building.Before coming here, Tang Feng and Han Jiang did not inform Xiao Lu, they are already familiar with this place.The outdated elevator was still rattling, and the corridors were not lit. Even though it was daytime, it still made people feel cold and gloomy.

Seeing that the door of the laboratory was ajar, Tang Feng knocked lightly twice, but no one was there.So Han Jiang didn't wait for Tang Feng to knock again, pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing this, Tang Feng hurriedly followed in.Xiao Lu was not there, and the two went to the inner room again, only to see Xiao Lu was staring at the computer screen with his back to them.Han Jiang knocked on the door, Xiao Lu heard the sound, turned around suddenly, and found that it was Tang Feng and Han Jiang, and hurriedly closed the document he was staring at just now.Then he operated on the computer a few more times before getting up to greet the two of them.

Xiao Lu's hasty actions failed to escape the eyes of Tang Feng and Han Jiang.After exchanging pleasantries, Tang Feng gave Han Jiang a wink. Han Jiang understood and said to Xiao Lu, "We want to take another look at the portrait made by Professor Chen."

"Avatar? Isn't that avatar broken?" Xiao Lu asked back.

"Look if it's broken."

Xiao Lu seemed reluctant, but he didn't dare to disobey Han Jiang, so he had to take Han Jiang to get the portrait locked in the safe.Tang Feng didn't go out with him. He saw Xiao Lu go out and hurriedly sat down in front of Xiao Lu's computer.Although Xiao Lu closed the document he was looking at just now, he still left some clues in "My Recent Documents".Tang Feng found that there were four recently opened documents, the following three were medical and anthropological documents, but the title of the top one was——"Study on Western Xia's Spells example)".

Tang Feng's heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to click on the file to find out, Han Jiang's voice came from outside the door.He had to stand by the window, pretending to be admiring the scenery outside the window.

The head of the woman with half of her face cut off appeared in front of Tang Feng again.Tang Feng stared at the head portrait and remained silent for a while. Finally, he turned to Xiao Lu and said, "I want to take this head portrait away, is that okay?"

Xiao Lu curled her lips: "It's up to you, anyway, this avatar is useless."

Tang Feng wrapped up the avatar, and left the laboratory with Han Jiang.Walking out of the building and getting into Han Jiang's car, Tang Feng immediately revealed his new discovery: "I found a document in Xiao Lu's computer——"Research on the Xixia Spells" As an example)", and it was this document that he was concentrating on reading just now."

"What does this mean?"

"Judging from the title, this is a paper. But it's not Xiao Lu's major, it should be something I'm researching, but Xiao Lu is reading it intently."

"Maybe people are interested in Xixia culture now, just take a look."

"Just take a look? Then why was he so flustered when he saw us and hastily closed the document? Besides, this paper is very strange. )", I am now considered a half-expert in Xixia research, but I have never read this paper, nor have I heard of this "Magic Breaking Hundred Characters Must Determine."

"That's because you are ignorant! Hehe!" Han Jiang teased Tang Feng.

"Am I poorly educated? Well, even if I am poorly educated. But I still think there is something wrong with Xiao Lu. You should pay attention to Professor Chen's clue."

"Okay, I see. We still have more important clues. Zhao Yong should be back today." Han Jiang said and accelerated the speed of the car.

Back at the headquarters, Zhao Yong had already returned dejectedly. "Still haven't found Stechkin's body yet?" Han Jiang saw Zhao Yong like that, and knew there was nothing to be done.

Sure enough, Zhao Yong shook his head in disappointment: "No, we searched the area, but we didn't find Stechkin's body."

"Has this guy evaporated from the world?" Han Jiang was extremely disappointed, and then ordered Zhao Yong, "You continue to search, and notify me immediately if you have any clues." Zhao Yong bit the bullet and took the order to leave.

Han Jiang turned around, only to see Tang Feng was in a daze in front of his computer.The computers in the entire headquarters cannot access the external network, only my own computer can.

Han Jiang patted Tang Feng and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Tang Feng searched the Internet for the thesis topic he saw on Xiao Lu's computer, but there was nothing on the Internet.Tang Feng single-handedly searched for the topic "Magic Breaking Hundred Characters" and the search engine produced dozens of results, but after reviewing them one by one, he found that they were all irrelevant information.

This made Tang Feng even more confused: "Where did Xiao Lu's paper come from?"

"He couldn't have written it himself!" Han Jiang said with a smile.

"Him? Does he have that ability?" Tang Feng fell into confusion.

"Okay, let's sort out the whole incident again." Han Jiang changed the subject.

"The whole incident? The auction?" Tang Feng felt a headache when he mentioned the auction now.

"No! Let's start with the jade screen this time, and the jade screen that we got from Stephen's family this time." Han Jiang said firmly.

"The Stephen family?"

"Yes! I've rethought it these two days. The whole incident seems to have started from that auction. In fact, it started decades ago. The black lama got the jade screen from Dunhuang. It’s done.” Han Jiang took out a piece of paper and wrote on it the four locations of Helan Mountain, Dunhuang, Animaqing Snow Mountain, and Heishui City according to the east, west, south, and north respectively, and then continued, “Four yuan The jade screens were placed in these four places. Now we know that the two jade screens in Helan Mountain and Animaqing Snow Mountain have not been touched for hundreds of years before we found them, while Dunhuang and Animaqing have never been touched. The jade screen in Heishui City has been out of place since the beginning of the 20th century."

"Well, the part of Heishuicheng was discovered by Kozlov, and the part of Dunhuang was discovered by someone, and finally got by the black lama."

"I've been thinking about these two jade screens for the past two days. Do you think the jade screen in Heishui City was discovered first, or the jade screen in Dunhuang?" Han Jiang suddenly raised a strange question. The problem.

"According to the age of the activities of the two historical figures, Kozlov and the Black Lama, it should be Kozlov who first discovered the jade screen in Heishui City in 1909. The activity of the Black Lama was mainly in the 20th century. It should be after Kozlov discovered the jade screen in Heishui City, and it is very likely that the black lama deliberately searched for it after hearing that Kozlov had discovered the jade screen."

After listening to Tang Feng's analysis, Han Jiang thought for a while and said, "You are right, I thought so too, but is it possible that the actual situation is just the opposite?"

"Reversely?" Tang Feng was startled, "You mean, the jade screen in Dunhuang has been discovered long ago?"

"At least earlier than Kozlov. I remember you once mentioned to me that Kozlov went to explore Blackwater City twice in 1908 and 1909."

"Yes! Kozlov was appointed by the Royal Geographical Society to come to China. According to his plan, this time he should inspect a vast area from Mongolia to Sichuan and Yunnan. He found the black water for the first time in 1908. When he visited the ancient city, there was no surprising discovery. He thought it was just a small deserted city, so he continued to his final destination, Sichuan and Yunnan. But when Kozlov arrived in Qinghai, the Geographical Society sent a telegram to tell He, some of the cultural relics he found in Heishui City were very valuable, and he was asked to return to Heishui City immediately to continue excavating. This is why Kozlov excavated Heishui City for the second time in 1909, and it was at this time During the excavation, Kozlov made an astonishing discovery in the Great Stupa outside Blackwater City."

"What do you think prompted Kozlov to return to Heishui City from Qinghai to continue excavating?" Han Jiang asked.

"According to past knowledge, Kozlov transported back to Petersburg some documents discovered for the first time in Heishui City. The famous Russian sinologist Yi Fengge found in these documents an ancient The writing, that is, the Xixia script we already know today, only then attracted the attention of the Geographical Society and made Kozlov return to Heishui City."

"Could it be the jade screen?"

"Jade Chaping? You mean that Kozlov returned to Heishui City only after he heard the secret of Yu Chaping?" Tang Feng fell into deep thought.

"Why do I have this strange idea. Think about it, the black lama is a rough man, it is impossible to understand the words on the jade screen, and he doesn't even know the history of Xixia. How did he know all this, knowing that the jade What about the secret of the interstitial screen?"

Tang Feng's eyes brightened: "You mean, there is an expert in that team?!"

"It must be like this, otherwise, even if the black lama got the Jade Chaping, he would not be able to know the secret of the Jade Chaping."

"An expert?" Tang Feng thought for a while, "I also thought of this level before, but I thought that expert should be Stephen's grandfather Ma Yuan."

"Ma Yuan? He is a literate man in the team of black lamas. But think about it carefully, with Ma Yuan's ability, can he understand the Western Xia characters on the jade screen?"

"Could it be that there is an expert beside the black lama and Ma Yuan?" Tang Feng was completely confused by Han Jiang's words.

Han Jiang drew a circle heavily on the word "Dunhuang" on the paper, then wrote an "X", and then drew a question mark next to the "X", "Let's start with this 'X'. This There are two possibilities for the existence of the expert. One possibility is that he discovered the jade screen, and later he dedicated the jade screen to the black lama for some purpose. If this is the case, then the jade screen in Dunhuang It is very likely that Ping was discovered by this 'X' before Kozlov discovered Heishui City. Of course, there is another possibility that this 'X' is just a subordinate of the Black Lama, just like Ma Yuan Worked for the Black Lama, and finally participated in the killing of the Black Lama in the Black Vulture Temple. As far as I am concerned, I am more inclined to say that this 'X' is the former, because I think the ability of this 'X' is far superior to that of the Black Lama and above the horse."

"Your conjecture is too shocking, but I still can't agree with your conjecture. Does this expert 'X' really exist? Maybe Ma Yuan knows Xixia Wen." Tang Feng shook his head, unwilling to agree with Han easily. Jiang's speculation.

"Will Ma Yuan know Xixia script?" Han Jiang also shook his head, "No! You said that it was the Russian scholar Yi Fengge who first deciphered Xixia script in modern times, and he brought it back to Petersburg based on Kozlov's Documents, only to decipher Xixia script. Can you imagine that a down-and-out scholar like Ma Yuan can understand Xixia script?"

"Isn't the question coming back? Yifengge was the first scholar to decipher Xixia script, and he deciphered Xixia script after Kozlov discovered Heishui City. Assuming that there is such an expert 'X', is this 'X' X' is better than Yifengge? Can Xixiawen be cracked before Yifengge or almost at the same time as Yifengge? I don't believe it!" Tang Feng kept shaking his head.

"This..." Han Jiang was stopped by Tang Feng's rebuttal, and he held back for a long time before continuing, "This is indeed a problem. But I still insist on the existence of this 'X', don't forget you and the old horse The oath found on the stone platform in the apse!" Han Jiang reminded Tang Feng.

"The oath on the stone platform?!" Tang Feng's thoughts quickly returned to the deep and dark Xuangong in the mountains.

"You told me that only Ma Yuan's name was left behind the Shitai League oath. There should have been several other names, but they were all erased intentionally!"

"Yes! I've always wondered about it!"

"Who do you think did this? Who would have engraved their names and erased them? It was originally in the deep and dark stone palace, and no one saw it. Why did you erase it? Afraid of being discovered?" Tang Feng was caught A series of questions left him speechless, and Han Jiang continued on his own, "I don't think the person who erased those words was afraid of being seen, but...but that those people are all dead!"
