"Your office? Can I enter the Winter Palace now?"

"No! We don't go through the gate of the Winter Palace. Our office area enters and exits independently, and is not subject to inspection by the guards of the Winter Palace." Tymoshen introduced.

Thinking about it, Tang Feng could only do so, so he said politely to Ji Moshen, "Then we won't bother you."

Tymoshen parked the car, and the three walked towards the Winter Palace.When passing through the Winter Palace Square, Tang Feng remembered the mysterious light of the Winter Palace again, so he asked Ji Moshen: "I saw the mysterious light flashing in the Winter Palace twice at night, have you seen it before?"

"What? Bright light? Where is it?" Tymoshin looked shocked.

"On the third floor! I'm not sure which room it is either."

Tymoshen looked up at the Winter Palace in the snowstorm, and murmured, "No! I didn't see it!"

Tang Feng also looked towards the place where he found the gloomy light just now, and found that the gloomy light he saw just now has disappeared. When he was wondering, Timoshin said beside him: "Maybe it's the security guards on duty at night. They sometimes Will be patrolling with flashlights."

Tang Feng could only accept this explanation, he didn't say anything, followed Timo Shen into the Winter Palace through a side door, Tim Moshen didn't turn on the light, the three of them walked through the dark corridor, after a while, Jimo Shen Applying to lead Tang Feng and Liang Yuan to the office on the second floor.

Entering Ji Moshen's office, Ji Moshen still didn't turn on the lights. In the dark, he introduced to Tang Feng and Liang Yuan: "The conditions here are not good, you just make it up, don't turn on the lights at night, so as not to cause misunderstandings However, fortunately, I am the only one here, you close the door, no outsiders will trouble you, and there is a small bathroom in the office, you can use it. "

Tang Feng looked around. Although Ji Moshen's office was very large, it was filled with various books and materials, so it seemed rather cramped. He glanced at the bathroom inside and said with satisfaction: "It's really Thank you so much, you are so good, you even have a bathroom."

"It's okay, but it's a little messy. There was an old professor who shared this office with me. However, he retired a few years ago. The museum has relatively high requirements, and has never recruited young people who study Eastern history. Therefore, This place has temporarily become my independent kingdom."

"It's a bit messy here, but this is what it looks like to study knowledge. Alas! Is there a connection between this place and the exhibition hall?" Tang Feng suddenly remembered this question.

"There is a door on the second floor, which leads to the exhibition hall. It is open during the day and closed at night. There is a whole set of monitoring facilities at the door. So, you'd better not go near it." Tymoshen introduced.

"Okay, I've made a note. Go back and rest quickly!"

Timoshen looked at his watch and said, "Well, I should go. I won't lock the door of the office at night. During the day, if I'm not in, you must close the door tightly. No one will let them in except me." Come in."

"I understand!" Tang Feng sent Timoshen away, closed the door, looked at this small office, recalled the bizarre encounters in Petersburg these days, and shook his head helplessly at Liang Yuan.

At the same time, in Yelena's apartment, Ilyukin pinched his nose, lifted two sets of stinky coats from the bathtub in the bathroom, and asked Ivanov: "Where's Yelena? Where's Han Jiang? And Where is Tang Feng? After tossing all night, he didn't catch a single one!"

"There's one more thing... I haven't had time to report it to you yet."

"what's the situation?"

"Ma... Karov is also missing!" Ivanov reported tremblingly.

"What? Makarov is missing too? Isn't he in the hospital?"

"The people in the hospital said he was discharged the day before yesterday!"

"Damn it, as soon as that Han Jiang came, he was discharged from the hospital. Don't ask, Makarov, Yelena and Han Jiang are all in the same group. Yelena and Makarov, the two traitors, must be in the place where the jade screen is placed. It was Yelena who revealed it, that's why Han Jiang escaped so easily, I will sue them to the headquarters!" Ilyukin roared furiously.

"Then what should we do next? The clues seem to be broken." Ivanov asked for instructions.

Ilyukin was thinking, and suddenly he asked, "Where is that Tang Feng? What do you think of this person?"

"It's strange. He went to find Yelena, but he didn't seem to know that Yelena and the others had run away. Similarly, when he went back to the dormitory that day, it meant that he didn't know about Han Jiang's escape. I guess he lost contact with Han Jiang. It's strange. yes……"

"What is it? Say it!"

"The strange thing is that there seems to be another person with him today!"

"Another person? Damn! It seems that there are more than three of them!" Ilyukin cursed, but then he asked Ivanov: "You chased after that Tang Feng, where did he disappear at the end?"

"He flew over the Winter Palace Bridge and then disappeared. Our people have found the red BMW sports car they were driving near the Winter Palace and are investigating the origin of the car."

"Winter Palace?" Ilyukin fell into deep thought again. Finally, he ordered: "Strengthen the monitoring around the Winter Palace. They can't run far. As soon as they show up, arrest them immediately!"

Ivanov took the order to go, but Ilyukin stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom and said fiercely alone: ​​"Elena, don't blame me this time, you can't escape from my palm." Afterwards, Ilyukin Kim let out a series of sneers.

[Section [-], the third survivor]

A beam of strong light hit the rusty keyhole, and Makarov opened the door with the key tremblingly. This is the apartment of his son Victor. Victor was killed here six months ago. in the bathroom of an apartment.

In just half a year, a thick layer of dust has already accumulated here. Makarov touched the wall. He wanted to turn on the light, but Yelena quickly stopped him: "Don't turn on the light."

Makarov laughed dryly, and said: "It's useless to turn it on, the electricity has been cut off long ago, and the heating has also been turned off, Yelena, go and see if the water and gas have also been turned off?"

Yelena went to the kitchen to check, and the natural gas was also stopped, only the water was not stopped. Yelena took out a rag and started cleaning. Han Jiang and Xu Renyu also helped Yelena, and together they quickly cleaned the apartment clean up.

Yelena checked every window in particular, and thick curtains were drawn on the windows, making it airtight.After all this was done, the four of them sat around on the sofa in the living room, and Yelena lit a candle that she had just dug out.

The faint light from the candles shone on everyone's faces, and the candlelight brought some warmth to everyone, but staying in this unheated room still made people shiver.No one spoke, and after a while of silence, Yelena broke the silence: "I'll go out tomorrow morning to buy more candles, food, and batteries."

"Are you safe going out now?" Han Jiang asked with concern.

Yelena smiled and said, "Don't worry, Ilyukin can't catch me in Petersburg."

Han Jiang wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Makarov: "But this is not the way to go, the jade screen may leave Petersburg at any time, and Tang Feng... so we must find a solution to the problem." Method!"

Makarov's words reminded everyone, Han Jiang asked suspiciously: "I have never figured out how those men in black stole the jade screen?"

"Ilyukin was too careless. I told him that the location of the jade screen should be kept secret, but he told many people, and vowed that the 'Peter's cabin' in the basement was impenetrable, and no one could steal the jade. table plaque."

"But how exactly did they go in and steal the jade screen?"

"For real masters, what's the difficulty? Since you can escape from it, they can steal things from it! Ilyukin is just too confident in himself, but he doesn't know that there are mountains outside the mountains, and there is a sky beyond the sky!" Yelena explained road.

"Well, even so, where do you think Yuchaping will be now?" Han Jiang asked Yelena.

"I don't know about this, but I think Yuchaping hasn't left Petersburg yet. Ivanov told me on the phone that Ilyukin has closely checked the roads, civil aviation and railways to prevent Yuchaping from leaving. Petersburg."

"I hope so! However, this means that we can't get out." Han Jiang said.

Han Jiang's words made Yelena fall into deep thought. She was thinking of a solution to the problem, but her mind was like a mess!At this moment, Makarov suddenly saw a pen that Xu Renyu was fiddling with. He looked at the pen obsessively, which made Xu Renyu feel uncomfortable. Xu Renyu asked Makarov suspiciously: "You...you Why do you keep staring at this pen?"

Makarov turned around and said to Xu Renyu, "Doctor, please show me your pen."

Xu Renyu handed the pen to Makarov, and Makarov looked at it carefully for a long time before asking, "Doctor, is this pen yours?"

Xu Renyu replied with some embarrassment: "It's not mine, I picked it up two days ago."

Han Jiang also noticed Xu Renyu's pen at this time, and he recognized that it was exactly the pen he saw on the table in the underground hut in the sewer pipe.Seeing that Makarov was so curious about the pen, Han Jiang asked Makarov, "Do you know this pen?"

Makarov didn't answer Han Jiang, but asked Xu Renyu again with concern: "You picked it up? Where did you pick it up?"

"In...in the sewer pipe." Seeing Makarov's appearance, Xu Renyu stammered.

"Sewer pipes? Tell me quickly, what's going on?" Makarov asked urgently.

So, Han Jiang explained for Xu Renyu: "That day, we escaped from the Federal Security Bureau and fled into the sewer pipes in Petersburg. In the pipes, we bumped into a white ghost and an underground cabin..."

When Makarov and Yelena heard the word "white ghost" from Han Jiang's mouth, they were all shocked. Han Jiang continued: "We followed the ghost all the way and came to an abandoned pipeline. A hut built in pipes, inside the house, there is still dim candlelight, it seems that there are still people living there, we found simple furniture, food, books, and this pen.”

"Really? I didn't expect such an underground world in Petersburg!" Yelena exclaimed.

"Ghost? Han Jiang, can you give me a specific description of the so-called ghost?" Makarov asked.

Han Jiang tried hard to recall, "I only saw that ghost was covered in white. He seemed to be wearing a white robe. The light was too dim. Moreover, I only took one look, and the ghost disappeared, so it was difficult for us to see clearly. true colors."

"That's right, then do you think this so-called 'ghost' is a person or a real 'ghost'?" Makarov asked Han Jiang.

Han Jiang was also thinking about this question, but without speaking, Xu Renyu interjected, "Have you heard the story of the ghost of the Winter Palace?"

"The Ghost of the Winter Palace?" Yelena seemed to have never heard of it.

Xu Renyu explained: "When I was studying abroad in Petersburg, I heard people say that some people claimed to have seen ghosts in and around the Winter Palace at night. I didn't believe it at the time, but now I begin to believe it."

"I don't know if there really is a ghost in the Winter Palace. The education I have received is that I don't believe in ghosts. But just from the ghost we met, it's really hard for me to tell if it's a human or a ghost." Han Jiang expressed his views.

"Then do you think the hut you found in the sewer pipe is the hiding place of that ghost?" Makarov asked again.

"I can't judge accurately, maybe, it's a homeless man's hut, maybe... that ghost is the owner of this hut." Han Jiang speculated.

Makarov fell into deep thought again. After a long time, he shook the pen in his hand and said to everyone: "Do you know why I am so interested in this pen? Because I know its former owner."

"It used to be the owner?" Makarov's words aroused everyone's curiosity.

"Yes, its former owner was a young scholar I met half a century ago in the Sino-Soviet Joint Scientific Expedition Team. I don't know what his name is, but we all called him 'Misha' at that time."

"What? You mean that the owner of this pen is a member of the scientific expedition team with you?" Han Jiang was stunned.

"Misha? Male, female? Does this name sound like a girl's nickname?" Xu Renyu asked doubtfully.

"Then what happened to this Misha?" Yelena was also shocked.

Makarov explained slowly: "Misha, yes! This name is like a girl's nickname, but he is a big guy. I don't know who gave him this nickname. The test team, everyone called him that, so I remembered this name. Misha...he later?" Makarov seemed to be lost in memory, and after a long time, he said again: "Misha, he should disappear forever Yes, there were only two survivors of the scientific expedition team, me and Liang Yunjie, because... because on that terrible night, when Liang Yunjie and I returned to the camp, all the people in the camp were gone, and since then, they have disappeared forever Yes, when I was in the KGB, I wanted to further investigate this matter, but the top-secret official documents I saw confirmed that there were only two survivors, me and Liang Yunjie."

"In this way, the owner of the hut is likely to be someone who knows Misha, or even a survivor of the scientific expedition team, or Misha... Misha is not dead at all, he has returned to Petersburg!" Han Jiang was shocked by his astonishing speculation.

When Makarov heard Han Jiang's speculation, his body moved slightly, but Xu Renyu interjected: "We were still on the table in the hut, and we found a piece of paper written in beautiful calligraphy in Russian. It reads: "To God, we are all Nekhludolf; to life, we are all Prince Myshkin."

"That's right, I wanted you to explain to me what this sentence meant, but before you finished speaking, that ghost appeared again!" Han Jiang recalled the scene at that time.

Xu Renyu explained: "I told you at the time that Nekhludoff is the protagonist in Leo Tolstoy's famous book "Resurrection". The restless Nekhludoff, in order to repent, gave up his aristocratic status, and went to cold Siberia with Katyusha in order to revive his soul; while Prince Myshkin was another great writer Dostoev The hero of Sky's famous book "The Idiot", Prince Myshkin was considered an idiot in the author's time..."

"Okay, you don't need to waste so much words, just tell me what this sentence means." Han Jiang interrupted Xu Renyu, but when they were talking, Makarov was trembling all over. stand up.
