Makarov suddenly interrupted the conversation between Han Jiang and Xu Renyu, as if answering Han Jiang's question, and said to himself: "This sentence means that for the Almighty God, each of us We need pious confession like Nekhludolf in "Resurrection", and for life, we often think we are smart, but in fact, like those who laughed at Myshkin in "Idiot", as well as Myshkin himself, are all An idiot of one sort or another."

"Is that the right explanation?" Yelena asked curiously.

"It's not a question of right or wrong, it's Misha's understanding of the world and life." Makarov came back to his senses and said to Yelena.

"Why...you mean...this sentence was written by Misha?" Yelena asked in surprise.

Makarov nodded emphatically, and a strand of white hair that he hadn't cleaned for many days fell down, drooping on his old wrinkled forehead.After a moment of silence, Makarov raised his head again and explained to several people: "Let me tell you from the beginning, because the scientific expedition team was formed temporarily, many people did not know each other before. At that time, we There are strict disciplines, and we don’t ask each other’s real names and identities. Therefore, when we call each other on the scientific expedition team, we only call each other’s nickname or first name, but don’t know each other’s last name; It's called 'Ivan', so I only know that the young scholar's name is 'Misha', according to the habits of our Russians, 'Misha' should be a nickname, until finally Misha disappears, I don't know the truth about Misha Name."

"You just said that Misha is a scholar, so what does he study?" Xu Renyu asked.

Makarov said unhurriedly: "Listen to me, when I was on the scientific expedition team, Misha was always alone. He didn't like to communicate with everyone, especially the people on our side. On the contrary, he sometimes likes to communicate with his colleagues in China. He can speak fluent Chinese, so I asked our team leader curiously about him. The team leader knew something about him and told me privately that this Misha is Leninger A young Ph.D. from Le University studies Eastern history and culture. It is said that he not only speaks Chinese, but also knows many Eastern languages. The team leader also told me that the scientific expedition team did not want Misha because the organization thought that Although Misha is very researched in his major, he is very worried about his political leanings."

"Political orientation?" Yelena was puzzled.

"You should know that at that time, this was very important, not to mention that the scientific expedition was conducted in a top-secret state. As far as we are concerned, although the members of the scientific expedition team came from different units, every member of the scientific expedition team The members have all been strictly examined by the KGB, and I think the same is true of the Chinese side. The team leader once mentioned to me that during the examination, the KGB believed that Misha’s political attitude was unclear, superstitious in religion, and lacking a materialist view of history. Therefore, The scientific expedition team originally selected one of Misha's classmates, but because Misha's classmate suddenly fell ill and was unable to participate in the scientific examination, the KGB had no choice but to nod and agree to allow Misha to participate in the scientific examination."

"Wait, wait!" Han Jiang suddenly interrupted Makarov's narration, his brows were tightly frowned, as if he was recalling something, "Leningrad University? Studying Eastern history and culture? Misha! I seem to be I have some impression of this name, let me think, let me think, where have I heard this name?"

"If you think about it carefully, you must know that the nickname 'Misha' is widely used among Russians." Yelena reminded Han Jiang.

"No! No! I must have heard this name in an important place, let me think about it again... By the way, those seven top-secret letters." Han Jiang slapped his forehead and finally remembered.

"What top-secret letter?" Yelena asked suspiciously.

Han Jiang didn't know whether he should tell Yelena and Makarov about the seven top-secret letters, but at the moment in Petersburg, who else could he trust besides Yelena and Makarov?Han Jiang hesitated for a moment, and then explained to Makarov and Yelena: "When Liang Yunjie died, we seized a batch of stolen Russian documents, including a top-secret KGB document. How did it flow out from you? We translated this top-secret document and found that the main content of this top-secret document is seven letters. Through these seven letters, we learned about the formation of the scientific expedition team back then. In a letter written by Husband to his teacher, the famous Sinology master Alik, he mentioned that he and Misha discovered a treasure from the Xixia Dynasty in the Winter Palace, and also found many research materials of former Russian scholars. Later, Alik They affirmed their discoveries, and proposed to the government at that time to go to China for investigation, which led to the joint scientific expedition team in the future. I think the Misha mentioned here should be the Misha you mentioned. .”

"I think it should be like this. In this way, the famous Sinology master Mencius is probably Misha's classmate. He was originally planned to be sent there, but because of his sudden illness, Misha was replaced." Makarov deduced.

Han Jiang looked suddenly enlightened, and said: "Yes, this makes it clear. When I saw the seven letters at the beginning, I was surprised. Since Mengliev discovered the jade screen in the Winter Palace, why did he later read it?" He didn’t take part in the scientific examination, so it turned out that his serious illness saved him, otherwise, there would be no Mencius who became a famous Sinology master in the future.”

"Then what happened later? How do you know that Misha wrote that sentence?" Han Jiang asked again.

"In the scientific expedition team, I was relatively close to Misha. I saw this sentence more than once at Misha's place. He wrote this sentence in his notebook and on the title page of the book. It’s like his motto. I asked him curiously what this sentence meant, but at that time Misha smiled and didn’t answer, saying that he would explain it to me later, but... you know, Misha has no future , I read some books later, and I more or less realized the meaning of this sentence." Makarov explained.

"In this way, the ghost that Han Jiang and the others saw underground is likely to be Misha?" Yelena guessed, resting her chin.

"That's right! If that underground hut is where the ghost lives, then it's very likely that the ghost we encountered was Misha! He didn't die, he came back again." Xu Renyu agreed with Yelena's opinion.

Makarov shook his head and said slowly: "Let's not jump to conclusions too early. As far as I am concerned, I don't believe that Misha will come back from the dead? I just said that the KGB documents clearly record the last survivor. There are only me and Liang Yunjie, and even if the record is inaccurate and Misha is really not dead, then why did he come back to Petersburg and hide in the sewer with his talent and learning? It doesn’t make any sense at all.”

Han Jiang, who had been thinking about it all the time, suddenly said to Makarov: "It really doesn't make sense, but... But I suddenly thought of something, think about it, why did the men in black who chased us all the way treat Yu Chaping?" The situation is so well known, and they know everything about the scientific expedition team back then. They know much more than us, so that I once doubted you, because you are a survivor of the scientific expedition team back then, especially after Liang Yunjie died. You are the only survivor! And now there is another Misha, assuming Misha is really not dead..."

Hearing Han Jiang's words, Makarov suddenly opened his eyes wide, interrupted Han Jiang's words in surprise, and asked: "You suspect that Misha is not dead, he... He and Stephen, and the gang in black People belong together!"

Han Jiang nodded slightly, and said again: "He may even be behind the scenes. Besides, I still can't figure out why Stephen and the others know so much."

"No!...No! Misha, he...he is not such a person." No matter what, Makarov couldn't believe Han Jiang's conjecture, and Yelena and Xu Renyu were also shocked by Han Jiang's astonishing conjecture.

The room fell into silence again. Makarov lowered his head in pain. Han Jiang looked at Yelena and then at Xu Renyu. He was at a loss for a while. Makarov raised his head Come on, and said to Han Jiang: "Han, I have thought about it carefully. Although I don't want to accept your speculation, my reason tells me that your speculation is reasonable."

"In this case, I think, let's go to the sewer pipe and catch that 'ghost', then the truth will come to light." Yelena suddenly suggested.

Facing Yelena's proposal, Han Jiang and Xu Renyu all stared wide-eyed. Looking at Yelena, Yelena stared and shouted at Han Jiang: "Why are you looking at me like this?"

"I shudder when I think that such a beautiful beauty like you will get into the dirty, smelly and damp sewer pipe!" Han Jiang joked.

"It's also scary, and I might get lost. I don't dare to go there anymore." Xu Renyu also complained.

"You two cowards, I have never been anywhere, and I am still afraid of the sewer?" Yelena yelled at Han Jiang.

Han Jiang argued: "I'm not afraid of going into the sewers. What I'm worried about now is the whereabouts of the second jade screen and Tang Feng's safety. Regardless of whether the ghost is Misha or not, we can look for it later. That’s not our priority right now.”

Yelena said: "But I have a hunch that if we want to solve all the problems we are facing now, we must find that underground ghost. Maybe the ghost is a key to solve the puzzle."

"How can you see it?" Han Jiang asked.

"You think, we don't even know where they got Yuchaping now? We have no clue, and he was hunted by Ilyukin. If that underground ghost is really Misha, then, as you speculate, he has It might be Stephen's accomplice, maybe he was the one who stole the Jade Chaping, finding him is tantamount to finding the Jade Chaping."

"But what if Misha isn't Stephen's accomplice?" Han Jiang asked again.

"If he is not, then as an insider back then, our enemies will definitely not let him go. Perhaps, he hid in the sewer pipe just to avoid the men in black from chasing and killing. So, instead of us wandering around now Instead of hiding in Tibet aimlessly, it is better to attack directly and find that ghost, in this way, we will have the initiative, which is called 'drawing from the bottom of the pot' in your Chinese "Sun Tzu's Art of War"!" Yelena clearly analyzed the current situation.

Han Jiang nodded in admiration: "You actually understand "Sun Tzu's Art of War". I really admire you."

"Hmph, Han Jiang, you know the gap between us now, you will, I will, I will, you will not! So, you have to listen to me." Yelena put on an inherent expression in front of Han Jiang. Her arrogant look, although, her arrogance often fails in front of Han Jiang.

"Okay, my major, I will follow your orders." Han Jiang pretended to be helpless.

Yelena looked at Makarov first, as if she was waiting for Makarov's opinion, Makarov smiled and said: "Elena, I agree with your analysis, at this moment, your method may be the most effective Yes, though, it takes some risk."

Yelena got Makarov's approval, immediately pulled out the gun, checked the magazine, and then told Han Jiang: "Han, you come with me, go before dawn, save the night and dreams."

Han Jiang asked back: "Don't you bring a doctor?"

Before Yelena could speak, Xu Renyu yelled first: "Okay, I'm accompanied by a beautiful woman, so just let me go, I don't want to run into that dirty and wet sewer again."

"Elena, take me with you! If that ghost is really Misha, I will have a way to deal with him." Makarov asked to go.

But Yelena saw that Makarov hadn't fully recovered, so she rejected Makarov's request and asked Makarov to rest here. Just wait here first."

Han Jiang picked up Xu Renyu's gun, checked it, and returned the gun to Xu Renyu, saying: "The safety here is in your hands. Before we come back, you don't want to go anywhere."

Xu Renyu fully agreed, but after Han Jiang and Yelena left, Xu Renyu looked at this apartment where someone had died, and couldn't help feeling a chill down his back!

Han Jiang and Yelena braved the wind and snow and detoured two streets before finding Yelena's "Fiat". Yelena deliberately parked so far away to prevent Ilyukin from finding out.

"Actually, your car is very unsafe now. Once Ilyukin finds out, it will be troublesome." Han Jiang who got in the car reminded Yelena.

"Don't worry, this is a new car I bought. Ilyukin has never seen it before, but Ivanov has seen it!" Yelena said.

"By the way, you haven't told me, how did you get your gun?"

"Hmph, do you think it is difficult for me to make one? To tell you the truth, Ivanov made it for me. It is a P96 9mm pistol without a number." Yelena handed the gun to Han Jiang for a look. look.

After reading it, Han Jiang returned the gun to Yelena and asked, "I was just wondering, what is your relationship with this Major Ivanov? He seems to take good care of you!"

Yelena glared at Han Jiang and said, "What's the relationship? Hehe, Ivanov is my crazy suitor."

"A crazy suitor? From your tone, you have a lot of suitors?" Han Jiang laughed.

"Yeah! My suitors can add up to a platoon."

"Really? No wonder you always look arrogant, that's how it is! I wish your suitors break through a company as soon as possible!" Han Jiang deliberately joked.

Yelena gave Han Jiang a hard look: "Am I arrogant in front of you?"

Han Jiang pretended to think seriously, "Arrogant, very arrogant. Can't you be gentle with me?"

"I'm not gentle enough for you? Huh! It seems that I have treated you for nothing!"

"Hey, Yelena, do you think I'm a member of your platoon?" Han Jiang asked suddenly.

Yelena turned her head to look at Han Jiang, glanced at her mouth, and said, "It doesn't count now, you still need to stand the test!"

"Tested? Well, let's make the test harder!"

Han Jiang's words made Yelena laugh out loud, and after laughing, Han Jiang said again: "Really, didn't Ivanov tell you anything about Ilyukin's side?"

"I wanted to ask him, but he was quite strict, he just kept asking me if I saw you."

"It seems that this guy is not qualified. You should kick him out of your platoon! Since you want to pursue you, you must serve you wholeheartedly. You can't hold back!" Han Jiang laughed again.

While the two were talking, the car quickly arrived near the Peter and Paul Fortress. Yelena parked the car on a remote street and asked Han Jiang, "Did you come out from here that day?"

"Well, that's where the 'ghost' disappeared." Han Jiang said.

"Okay then, let's go in from here and check the equipment again."

The two came prepared this time. In addition to the gun, they also brought enough batteries and various tools.Han Jiang led Yelena down from the bridge of the Peter and Paul Fortress, and soon they found the exit of the sewer pipe. Han Jiang looked at the sky outside, and there was already a gray belly in the distance, and the sky was about to dawn, and they, But at this time to get into a dark world.

Relying on his memory, Han Jiang quickly found the iron fence door he encountered last time. It was still the same as last time. One of the iron railings was broken in the middle. Yelena got through the iron gate, turned a corner, followed the large abandoned sewer pipe, and the two walked to the underground hut at the end of the sewer pipe.

Inside the hut, there was a dead silence, without the faint candlelight. Han Jiang pulled out his pistol and walked into the hut cautiously. Yelena also followed in. The light from the two flashlights swept across the underground hut. Han Jiang found that The hut was exactly the same as what they saw last time, except that the piece of paper on the desk was missing...

"Any new discoveries?" Yelena asked Han Jiang.

Han Jiang pointed to the desk, and said, "The piece of paper that was originally placed on the desk is missing."

"Oh! It seems that the ghost doesn't want us to know more." Yelena said, walking towards the broken low wall on the other side of the hut.

Yelena used the flashlight to shine on the narrow pipe outside the low wall, but the pipe was too narrow and curved, and the light from the flashlight couldn't reach very far. Yelena turned her head in disappointment. Behind her, Yelena bumped her head against Han Jiang's solid chest. Yelena was quite frightened, and the flashlight in her hand fell to the ground. Immediately afterwards, a scream of "Ah——" shook the ghostly shadows in the whole hut. So scary!
"Why are you standing behind silently like a ghost?" Yelena complained.
