Tang Feng saw that Han Jiang was silent alone, as if he was thinking about something important, so he didn't want to disturb him, so he went to Liang Yuan and Hei Yun's room.Although these two girls of similar age lived in two completely different worlds since they were young, they had already chatted very speculatively. When Tang Feng entered the room, he saw Liang Yuan combing Heiyun's hair!

Seeing that the two girls were safe and sound, Tang Feng went back to his and Han Jiang's room, but he didn't see Han Jiang when he waited left, and he didn't come back when he waited right. Tang Feng became suspicious, where did Han Jiang go alone?He went to Xu Renyu and Makarov's room and asked, "Did you see Han Jiang?"

Xu Renyu asked him instead: "Aren't you in the same room as him? I haven't seen him!"

Tang Feng walked out of the small hotel where they were staying, which was already the best hotel in this county.Tang Feng came to the main street of Maqu. This small town located in the hinterland of the grassland has been the only way from the inland to the Tibetan area since ancient times. Most of the people in the city are Tibetans. Maqu means "Yellow River" in Tibetan. In a large county, you can travel all over the city in a short time.Outside the city, as far as the eye can see, there is an endless prairie. This vast Maqu prairie is affectionately called Shambhala by Tibetan herdsmen!

The beautiful Shambhala, the paradise of herdsmen.Tang Feng had walked out of the city unknowingly, and he was completely surrounded by the boundless grassland.Suddenly, he saw a person sitting motionless on a hillside.The man was staring at the distance alone, Tang Feng couldn't see the man's face clearly through the distance, and he felt suspicious, so he walked up the hillside, and when he got closer, he found that the person sitting on the hillside was Han Jiang.

Han Jiang remained motionless and didn't notice Tang Feng's arrival at all, until Tang Feng patted him on the shoulder and asked, "Run here alone to enjoy the scenery?"

Only then did Han Jiang notice Tang Feng's arrival, and he laughed dryly: "Appreciate the scenery? Hehe, I'm not in the mood right now!"

Tang Feng is still immersed in the beautiful scenery: "Relax, don't be so nervous. Look at the boundless Maqu prairie in front of us. It has been rich in 'Hequ horse' since ancient times. It is known as the most beautiful grassland in Asia. If it is in summer... It’s literally an ocean of green.”

"You still have such leisure and elegance now! I think your psychological quality is better than mine. I should let you be the captain!" Han Jiangweng said in a low voice.

"I'm not here, I'm not looking for a job, I can't think about so many things! You, those who can do more work... You frown, what are you thinking?"

"Thinking of what? Thinking of the whole incident! I just thought it through from beginning to end."

"Oh! Then what did you think of?"

"I have thought a lot. For so long, we haven't reflected on the whole incident. Today I thought a lot. However, we should first settle the matter in front of us."

"What's in front of you?"

"Hmm! Who will carry out the mission to Animaqing Snow Mountain this time?"

"It's still worth thinking about, of course the two of us are indispensable."

"Then besides us?" Han Jiang asked.

Tang Feng lost his mind for a moment: "Except for the two of us... Liang Yuan and Hei Yun, the two girls are fine. The old horse is old... Xu Renyu? Dr. Xu can go with us!"

Han Jiang waved his hand: "In addition to Xu Renyu, there are only three people, and the strength is not enough. It would be great if Zhao Yong was here, and I have no idea about Xu Renyu!"

"What? You have no idea about Dr. Xu!" Tang Feng was very surprised.

Han Jiang looked at Tang Feng, smiled wryly, and remained silent. His eyes looked straight ahead, which was the prairie under the hillside.

Han Jiang was silent for a long time, and suddenly asked Tang Feng: "Tang Feng, do you think we are in the right direction in the whole incident?"

Hearing Han Jiang's question, Tang Feng felt a "thump" in his heart. This was a question he had always wanted to think about, but he didn't want to think about it. He shook his head, not knowing how to answer it.Tang Feng thought of the auction that still haunts him so far. If it weren't for that abnormal auction, if it wasn't for this mysterious Xixia jade screen that appeared at the auction, he wouldn't be here now, and he wouldn't be here now. Will not experience so many things!Thinking of this, Tang Feng couldn't help muttering to himself: "I...I don't know, maybe... maybe our investigation direction was wrong from the beginning."

"Oh! Tell me specifically?" Han Jiang was obviously interested in Tang Feng's words.

Tang Feng explained: "After listening to Lao Ma's narration that day, and thinking about the whole thing together, I have a bad feeling. I feel that we seem to be being led by the nose by our opponents all the time. It was like this before the jade screen, and it was the same after getting this jade screen, and even now, we don’t know who our opponent is.”

"Yes, I feel the same as you! Throughout the incident, no matter how hard we try, we have been in a passive position. I feel more and more that our opponents seem to know us well. Wherever we go, they will definitely appear There! I didn't feel that way at first, but now it's getting stronger and stronger." Han Jiang expressed his doubts.

"You mean... there is a ghost among us?" Tang Feng asked back.

Although Han Jiang was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but tremble when he heard Tang Feng say the word "inner ghost".He turned his face to look at Tang Feng, who was also watching him.Tang Feng had never seen Han Jiang like this before. In Han Jiang's eyes, there was a kind of confusion and bewilderment. He was completely different from the shrewd, capable and confident him in the past.

Even in the most difficult moment, Han Jiang always maintained his confidence. What happened to him at this moment?Han Jiang lowered his head, looking thoughtful... When he raised his head again, Tang Feng found that Han Jiang's eyes seemed to have regained a little confidence in the past, and he said calmly: "To be honest, I don't believe that we have insiders, but we can analyze all the people involved. Let's take the whole incident back to Guangzhou, when we both met for the first time. When you joined the old K, I I once told you that including your old K, there are seven people in total. Now including Xu Renyu, there are eight people. I am K2, Zhao Yong is K3, Professor Luo is K4, Xu Renyu is K8, and you are K7. Except the five of us , there are three more people, let's analyze these three people first."

"I remember, you once told me that you don't know who these three are?" Tang Feng asked suspiciously.

"Yes, K1, K5, and K6. I don't know the identities of these three people. You suspected that K1 was the real boss of old K."

"Yes! But you said that you are the leader of old K. At that time, I murmured in my heart, since you are the captain, why is there another person with a code name before you?"

"Your question, I have also had. Think about it, when I was appointed as the captain of the old K, the chief told me that my code name is K2, and there is a K1 in front of me. Can I not Do you have any doubts? I have asked the chief many times about this question, but the chief repeatedly emphasized that I should not have any worries. Tell me who K1 is."

"Could K1 be your chief?" Tang Feng guessed.

"Impossible. I also thought about it, but this idea was quickly rejected. The chief is very busy with work and is not specifically responsible for the jade screen, and all the people who joined the old K must be directly involved in this matter." Incident. In addition, if the chief is K1, there is no need for him to hide it from me." Han Jiang denied Tang Feng's guess.

"That's strange, you are the boss in the old K, how can there be someone who is more senior than you?"

"So, I later changed my thinking. This K1 is smaller than my senior official. I don't know, but I think the reason why he ranks ahead of me is not because his position is higher than mine, nor is it because of his rank. He is taller than me, but because of this mysterious K1, he got involved in the incident of Yuchaping earlier than me, and he is even closer to the core of the whole incident than us.”

Tang Feng listened to Han Jiang's analysis, thought for a while, nodded and said, "Only your analysis makes sense. But since he intervened earlier than us and is closer to the core of the whole incident, why didn't he help us?" ? Even if he doesn't show up, he can help us!"

"Well! This is a problem. From the very beginning, we have come to today through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, basically relying on our own analysis and hard work. We didn't get any extra help, and the above didn't provide us with any valuable information. and clues, so I really can't figure out what is the role of K1?"

"What about K5 and K6?" Tang Feng asked.

"I know even less about these two people. It can be said that I know nothing, and I can't figure it out. The only thing I can be sure of is that they entered the old K later than me and earlier than you."

"That's right! They should have joined Old K before me. How weird! What is their role?"

"They must have their role, but we don't know that's all!" Han Jiang spread his hands helplessly.

"But here comes the problem. The chief said, you are the leader of old K, and you are in command of old K's actions, but you don't even know who your team members are or what they do. How can you command them? Also, Those three people must have their role, but we have not had any relationship with these three people, how to explain this? It’s incredible! Originally, what we encountered along the way was incredible enough. The interior is so unpredictable, really..." Tang Feng suddenly felt funny when he said this.

But Han Jiang looked serious: "Maybe the chief has the chief's intentions. They joined the old K, and they were all absorbed by the chief himself, including procedures such as oaths, which should be presided over by the chief himself."

"But you said just now that the chief doesn't personally direct the actions, so who will direct the actions of these three?" Tang Feng paused, suddenly seemed to think of something, and asked in surprise, "Could there be another army besides us?" The team acting alone, they are also looking for the jade screen? Maybe they are looking for the other two jade screens! That K1 is their leader, although they are all old K, but they are actually two teams!"

Tang Feng's speculation is not shocking, and Han Jiang was also shocked by this speculation, but Han Jiang quickly regained his senses, shook his head, and said, "Impossible, think about it carefully. Impossible, if they are a separate team, where do their clues come from? Yu Chaping is in our hands, and an academic authority like Professor Luo is also on our side. And, more importantly, if As you said, there is no need for the chief to hide this fact from me, because this may cause us to repeat actions and waste our precious resources, so it is impossible, as you said, why two teams are looking for jade at the same time Interstitial, if there is one, that team is our old rival!"

Thinking about it, Tang Feng found it really unlikely. The two of them discussed for a long time, but they couldn't figure out the clues of these three mysterious characters. In the end, Han Jiang could only say: "In short, with regard to these three mysterious characters, we can only confirm that they are They exist, are informed, are useful, and will help us, perhaps at the most critical moment. As for whether there are ghosts among the three of them, I think it is not up to us to make a decision. It’s up to the chief. After I go back, I will tell the chief about our doubts. Now let’s talk about the five of us.”

"The five of us? Are you suspecting that there is an inner ghost among us?" Tang Feng felt cold sweat on his back.

"As I said, I don't doubt any of us now. Let me analyze the five of us in detail. To be precise, there should be six of us, and Liang Yuan." Han Jiang said.

"Well, why did I forget about this eldest lady. I have never understood why you agreed to let Liang Yuan join us? I think she will only drag us down."

"Isn't this because of Liang Yongquan's request? The jade screen belongs to the Liang family, and Liang Yuan insists on participating, so there is nothing we can do!"

"Nonsense! This jade screen is a cultural relic stolen from the Winter Palace. It is a smuggled cultural relic. According to relevant international laws, it is illegal to auction smuggled cultural relics, which means that the auction is illegal. The auction is illegal. Naturally, the jade The screen should not belong to the Liang family." Tang Feng's bookish anger came up again.

"So, the police should recover this jade screen and return this Chinese treasure to Russia?"

"This... this..." Han Jiang's words left Tang Feng speechless.

"You don't know yet, the Winter Palace and the relevant Russian authorities have asked the Chinese police to recover this cultural relic, but we have played Tai Chi with them, and we can't do it! First, because Liang Yongquan was very cautious and kept quiet, outsiders did not I don't know that the Liang family bought the jade screen, so we pretended not to know; the second is because we need this jade screen, so I don't need to explain this, you should understand; third, and the most important one, this This treasure belongs to China, and although it has been kept there for so many years, we have no obligation to return it to them now."

"So they sent Yelena and Lao Ma here to take back Yuchaping!" Tang Feng immediately thought of Lao Ma's trip to China.

"Well! That's right, that's the way it is. It's just that we still don't know whether Yelena and the old horse are purely routine, or there are other bigger plans. Leave them alone, let's go back to the topic just now and analyze it. There are six of us." Han Jiang brought the subject back.

"Six of us? First of all, the two of us can rule out..." Tang Feng was stunned when he said this, because he found that Han Jiang was staring at him with strange eyes. Tang Feng was shuddered by Han Jiang's stare, "You... ...you don't doubt me, do you?"

Han Jiang put away the strange gaze, squeezed out a smile, and comforted: "I am very relieved about you! Before I accepted you into the old K, I investigated you in detail, and I am sure that you will have no problems."

Han Jiang's words finally let Tang Feng breathe a sigh of relief. Han Jiang continued: "We can rule it out, and Zhao Yong can also rule it out. I picked him directly from the Marine Corps. He has been serving in the army before and has contact with the outside world." Relatively few, and he performed well in the army, so he shouldn’t have any problems. Professor Luo, I invited him several times. I don't want to meddle in this nosy business, I just came to help, I have no desires or demands, so Professor Luo will have no problem at all."

"Then Liang Yuan and Xu Renyu are left? Let me talk about my opinion on Liang Yuan first. I think she can also be ruled out. She is just a rich lady who is curious about everything and understands nothing."

Han Jiang smiled and said: "Hehe, I found that the power of love is really powerful. You have only known each other for a few days, and now you have already started to protect her."

"What love? Who said I like her? It's her who keeps pestering me!" Tang Feng was still stubborn.

"Your analysis is good, she is a naive and lovely little girl, but don't forget her father!"

"You mean——Liang Yongquan? Do you doubt him?" Tang Feng said in shock.

Han Jiang looked at Tang Feng, and asked back: "Liang Yunjie is so devoted to the jade screen, he spared no expense! Could it be that Liang Yongquan is not interested in the jade screen at all?"

Tang Feng thought about it, and Han Jiang's question was worthy of scrutiny: "Yes! Although I have only met him twice, Liang Yongquan gave me the feeling that he is not interested in Yuchaping at all, and even avoids it."

"Is that suspicious?"

"But it's easy to understand. His father died because of Yuchaping, and with Huang Dahu's death, Liang Yongquan certainly didn't dare to keep Yuchaping. He has his own business. I've read their company's reports, and the performance has been very good. Well, with plenty of cash, there is absolutely no need for him to take such a big risk... More importantly, he is far away in Hong Kong, and he has not found any abnormal relationship with Liang Yuan. Moreover, although Liang Yuan has been with us all the time , but she didn’t participate in the decision-making, she doesn’t know many things!”

Tang Feng said a lot in one breath, Han Jiang nodded and smiled and said: "You are working hard for Liang Yuan. Not bad! I thought of everything you said. Zhao Yong and I have actually been monitoring the contact between Liang Yongquan and Liang Yuan, but not I didn't find anything unusual, especially since Liang Yuan joined us, due to limited conditions, there was very little contact between Liang Yuan and Liang Yongquan; what's more, I also found that Liang Yuan has matured now, when she first came, she was indifferent to everything. I want to tell Liang Yongquan that I criticized her for this matter, but now, apart from asking about her father's health, she rarely talks about her own affairs."

"Hehe, we still train people here!" Tang Feng smiled, and then he put away his smiling face and asked Han Jiang, "If Liang Yuan is also excluded, then only Xu Renyu will be left?"
