Xixia dead book

Chapter 97 The Lost 1964 (34)
After the two finished speaking, they went straight back to the exhibition hall where Tang Feng was found. Tang Feng and Liang Yuan seemed to have almost recovered, but Tang Feng was still weakly leaning against a showcase. Han Jiang kicked Tang Feng lightly. He kicked and said: "Okay, get up quickly! Tell me how you came to the Winter Palace, and what happened to Timoshin?"

So, Tang Feng briefly talked about what happened to him and Liang Yuan these days. After finishing speaking, Tang Feng sat up and asked, "Why did you suddenly appear here?"

Han Jiang pointed to an exhibition hall next door, and said: "That exhibition hall has an iron door leading to a cultural relic warehouse below. We went all the way from the sewer to a basement below, and then went up, and broke the iron door with a gun. The three iron locks on the door forcefully opened the iron door, and we came here and happened to bump into you."

"If you were a moment later, Liang Yuan and I would be finished... Hey! How did you reach the Winter Palace all the way from the sewer?" Tang Feng was puzzled.

"Because of the ghost, the ghost brought us here."

"What? You also saw a ghost?" Tang Feng was surprised. Suddenly, Tang Feng pointed to the corridor outside the door and shouted in horror: "Look, that ghost is in the corridor."

Everyone looked back and saw that the lights in the corridor were all on, but no one saw the ghost. Tang Feng jumped up. At this moment, he suddenly had a good impression of this ghost who had saved his life. He took the lead in chasing it out, turned the corridor, and came to another exhibition hall next door. Tang Feng saw the iron gate that Han Jiang said, and the white ghost flashed and disappeared inside the iron gate.

When everyone arrived, Tang Feng pointed to the iron gate and said, "The ghost has entered the iron gate."

Han Jiang looked at the iron gate, held a gun, and entered the iron gate first. This is the place they came to just now. At this moment, a dim wall lamp lit up in the underground warehouse, and Han Jiang was able to check The whole picture of this place, he looked around, all around here are made of long stones, about three to four hundred square meters of space, one side, there is a room recessed outwards, the back wall of the room was smashed, Straight to the dark sewer pipe outside.

Just now, Han Jiang and the others walked into this underground warehouse from here. Han Jiang walked into this room again and checked carefully. He suddenly found a looming bloodstain on the ground. The one extending from the door stretched from under his feet to the black hole outside the wall, "Could this bloodstain be left by the ghost just now?" Han Jiang murmured.

"It's very possible." Tang Feng said.

"The bloodstains lead to the outside, and the ghost flashed by. I think the ghost must have returned to the sewer pipe." After Han Jiang judged, he wanted to rush into the black hole on the outer wall to follow the ghost's footprints. But he was grabbed by Yelena: "Don't chase after him, ghosts have their own lives."

Han Jiang looked at Yelena suspiciously, "Ghosts have their own ghost lives?"

Yelena said to everyone: "After listening to Tang Feng's narration just now, I finally figured out the ins and outs of all this. Let's talk about this first. This is the first place I came to take over this case. This is the Winter Palace. An underground warehouse, because of the poor conditions, has been piled up with some bulky cultural relics such as sculptures and stone carvings. More than half a year ago, the Winter Palace decided to renovate this place. According to my investigation, Tymoshen volunteered at that time. In addition, he also undertook the relocation of cultural relics here. I guess it was at this time that Timoshen discovered a basement here, which is the basement you see now, and this basement is where the first piece of jade has been sealed. The place where the screen is inserted."

"It turns out that the first jade screen has been hidden here! Since Timoshen and Stephen are in the same group, he probably knew about the existence of this secret room long ago." Tang Feng said in surprise.

"Well, now it seems that Tymoshin probably knew about the existence of the basement in advance, but he didn't know the exact location of the basement. It was during the renovation of the underground warehouse that Tymoshin found out the exact location of the basement, He also knew that the back wall of this basement was very close to a sewer pipe outside, so a bold and brilliant plan came into his mind. He led people to open the sewer pipe from the outside to the passage leading to the secret room. Unconsciously, he took away the jade screen, and then rebuilt the long stones to restore everything to its original state. Outsiders would not be able to find anything unless they looked carefully. However, Timoshen kept everything secret. After laying down some clues, Victor, who came in for construction later, found out. Victor soon suspected that he had fallen in love with Timoshin. They sent someone to brutally kill Victor, and further planted the blame on Victor, imposing the crime of the theft of the jade screen on Victor." Yelena described the theft process of the jade screen according to her own deduction.

"So, before Victor's decoration company settled here, the jade screen in the secret room had been stolen!" Han Jiang said.

"Yes, that's it. Victor is innocent, but Victor may have been threatened by Tymoshin. I don't know if it was out of fear or for some other reason. He didn't report Tymoshin to the relevant department in time. , this is..."

When Yelena said this, Makarov beside him was already in tears, sobbing so hard that Yelena had to stop and comfort Makarov.

Under everyone's comfort, Makarov gradually regained his composure. He pointed to the back wall of the basement that had been opened again, and asked Yelena, "Then why is this place like this now?"

Yelena explained: "If my guess is right, it should be like this. After the jade screen was stolen, the renovation project of the Winter Palace was temporarily suspended. The cultural relics here were removed, and the big iron gate leading here was tightly locked. No one came here again, and the back wall of the basement was knocked open again, it should be that ghost."

"You mean Misha?" Makarov said.

"Now it seems that the ghost is undoubtedly Misha." Yelena said.

"Misha?" Tang Feng had some impressions of this name, but he didn't understand what Yelena was talking about, so Yelena briefly told Tang Feng and Liang Yuan what they had discovered in the past few days. After listening to Tang Feng, he sighed. There is actually a third survivor in the scientific expedition team?Misha is that ghost?Just when Tang Feng was thinking wildly, Yelena said again: "The ghost Misha should be an insider who knows about the jade screen. After he found out that the jade screen was stolen, he opened it for some unknown purpose. I think he opened it at night. Entering the Winter Palace is not just to pretend to be a ghost to scare people, what he did must be related to the theft of the jade screen."

"Maybe Misha is looking for something?" Tang Feng said suddenly.

"Looking for something, what are you looking for?" Han Jiang asked.

"I don't know. I'm just guessing." Tang Feng replied.

"But even if the ghost Misha broke through the back wall and entered here, how did he get into the Winter Palace? The big iron gate at the entrance is locked with several big iron locks." Liang Yuan questioned.

Yelena was silent while Han Jiang and Tang Feng looked up at the underground warehouse. Tang Feng suddenly noticed something strange on the wall to the north. He walked over and shone a flashlight on the wall there. Under the light of the flashlight, everyone See, on this wall, a row of iron ladders similar to fire ladders protruded. Tang Feng raised the flashlight little by little, and the beam of light from the flashlight shot straight to the top of the row of iron ladders. There seemed to be two stone slabs there. ...

"I see. If you don't pay attention, you really can't find this row of iron ladders." Yelena said in surprise.

Makarov then explained: "This is not surprising. As far as I know, the basement here, including this underground warehouse, was dug as an air-raid shelter during the Great Patriotic War to prevent the bombing of the Germans. Evacuate in time, and repair this row of iron ladders, people upstairs can come down directly from here to avoid the bombing."

"Well, that's right, so it means that the ghost Misha entered the Winter Palace through here." Yelena deduced.

"Okay, let's hurry up along the path that the ghost walked and see what's up there." Xu Renyu suggested.

Tang Feng nodded, and was the first to climb up the iron ladder, followed by Han Jiang, Liang Yuan, Yelena, Makarov and Xu Renyu. Tang Feng climbed to the top of the iron ladder, and he gently pushed a stone slab on the top , the stone slab was loose, revealing a gap, Tang Feng looked out through the gap, the surroundings were pitch black, and something seemed to block his sight in front of him, he boldly pushed the whole stone slab open, and then lifted another one On the stone slab, the entrance of the cave suddenly opened up. Tang Feng jumped out of the cave, followed by Han Jiang.

In front of Tang Feng was a tall cabinet. He pushed it, but the cabinet did not move at all. "It seems that this cabinet is very heavy!" Tang Feng said, and together with Han Jiang, he moved the cabinet blocking the entrance of the cave. The cabinet was very heavy. However, the two big men, Tang Feng and Han Jiang, were unable to lift the cabinet, and could only forcefully push the heavy cabinet. The cabinet rubbed against the ground, making an ear-piercing sound. Tang Feng was startled suddenly, and suddenly remembered something: "It turns out That strange noise we heard at night was this."

"In other words, the ghost must have entered the Winter Palace from here at night." Liang Yuan said, who had just climbed out of the cave.

"Yes, this cabinet is very heavy, and Han Jiang and I barely pushed it. It seems that the ghost has amazing arms!" Tang Feng said.

Han Jiang turned on the light, and everyone saw clearly that this was an office. Tang Feng and Liang Yuan recognized at a glance that this was the office they entered by mistake, and the hole they drilled just now turned out to be an office. It was actually that luxurious fireplace. At this moment, Tang Feng had fully understood the path of the ghost entering the Winter Palace.

All the people gathered in this office. Tang Feng led them out of this office, and then came to Timoshin's office after turning a corner. He introduced to everyone: "This is Timoshin's office."

Han Jiang and Yelena searched Tymoshin's office for a while, but found nothing. Tang Feng suddenly caught a glimpse of the document titled "The Great Tower" still on Tymoshin's desk, and his heart skipped a beat. "After a while, I felt bad.

Seeing Tang Feng's solemn expression, Han Jiang hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Tang Feng suddenly yelled: "Not good! That Buddha statue."

After finishing speaking, Tang Feng rushed out of Ji Moshen's office alone. Everyone was puzzled and followed Tang Feng to the China Pavilion on the third floor of the Winter Palace. Tang Feng could not stretch out his trembling right hand and groped on the wall. Finally, He touched the light switch, and the huge chandelier turned on, illuminating the entire exhibition hall brightly and resplendently, but when Tang Feng looked at the Xixia cultural relics, he was dumbfounded. The avatar has disappeared without a trace.

Tang Feng couldn't believe it was true. He rushed to the display case and checked carefully. The Buddha statue was indeed gone. Someone smashed a big hole in the glass in front of the display case... "Who did this? What is here?" ?” Yelena asked in surprise.

Tang Feng turned the information in his hand to the close-up photo of the Buddha statue, and pointed it out to everyone: "This is the Buddha statue, the Xixia Buddha statue that Koznov found in Heishui City. Timoshen thinks that there is no hidden queen in this Buddha statue." skull."

"The queen's skull?" Everyone was surprised.

"The ghost left blood, and it seems to be injured. Could it be the injury from smashing this piece of glass?" Xu Renyu reminded everyone.

"Doctor, do you mean that the Buddha statue was taken away by that ghost?" Liang Yuan asked back.

Tang Feng carefully inspected the big hole in the glass, and said: "From the hole in the glass, there is no trace of blood. From this point of view, the blood on the ghost's body does not seem to be left when the glass was smashed."

"Okay, don't study this piece of glass, look, what did I find?" Han Jiang walked over with a bullet casing in his hand, "I found this on the floor not far away."

"It means that something happened here... No, there was a fight just now, and during the fight, shots were fired?!" Yelena said in surprise.

"Competition? Who and who?" Liang Yuan asked.

"You don't need to ask, it must be Tymoshin and the ghost. They both want to get this Buddha statue, and the blood left by the ghost shows that the ghost Misha was injured in the fight, and it should be shot by Tymoshin. .” Tang Feng said.

"This explanation makes sense, but I don't understand what's so special about that Buddha statue? What makes them insist on competing for that Buddha statue?" Han Jiang asked Tang Feng in confusion.

"That Buddha statue must have special value and significance, but we don't know it yet!" Tang Feng explained.

"That still doesn't make sense. If Tymoshen wanted to get this Buddha statue, why did he wait until today? He could steal it anytime." Yelena shook her head and said.

Tang Feng stared at the display case without the Buddha statue, and said in a daze: "Why can't other cultural relics in the display cabinet attract them, but the Buddha statue? Why did Timoshin wait until now to get the Buddha statue? There is only one possibility, What they are fighting for is not the Buddha statue itself, but the secret hidden in the Buddha statue, maybe that secret is inside the Buddha statue."

"Inside the Buddha statue? Didn't you say that the queen's skull is hidden inside the Buddha statue?" Han Jiang asked.

"That's what Timoshen said. Whether there is a queen's skull hidden in the Buddha statue can only be known when it is opened." Tang Feng said.

Yelena interrupted the two of them and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this Buddha statue, let's talk about the two people who fought for the Buddha statue. The ghost Misha was injured and left. So, where is Tymoshen? He should be still in winter." In the palace, we still have a chance to catch him."

As soon as Yelena finished speaking, her cell phone rang, and it was Ivanov calling, only to hear Yelena swear at the other end of the phone: "Idiot!", and hung up angrily.

Yelena shrugged her shoulders at everyone, and explained: "It's like this in the world. Some people are always a beat ahead of us. That Tymoshin just walked out of the gate swaggeringly."

"Going out? How is this possible?" Everyone was horrified, and followed Yelena to the monitoring room on the first floor. Ivanov reported carefully: "Our people rescued a policeman in the toilet. His coat Got ripped off."

"Okay, I'm not interested in your explanation, so show me the surveillance video." Yelena snapped as if she was a different person.

On the screen, a picture of the gate of the Winter Palace appeared. After a short while, a tall and thin man in police uniform walked out of the gate of the Winter Palace with a square leather suitcase. Wearing glasses and changing clothes, Tang Feng still recognized Ji Moshen at a glance: "It's him, and the box he is carrying probably contains the Buddha statue, which is just the right size."

At this time, Ivanov on the side reported again: "After Tymoshin got out of the Winter Palace, he didn't get into his own car, but drove away in a police car. Then we found this thing in his car .”

As he spoke, Ivanov took out a white robe from a large evidence bag, from Han Jiang to Tang Feng, to Yelena, Makarov, everyone was dumbfounded, Jimo How could there be such a robe in Shen's car?

"This is the ghost's robe, the ghost's robe..." Makarov muttered to himself.

Han Jiang carefully inspected the robe, and suddenly, he found a trace scratched by a sharp weapon on the hem of the robe. Looking at it, it fits perfectly with the scratched part of this robe, no less!

"What's going on here? Why did another ghost come out?" Tang Feng felt that his head was going to explode.

"Who is the real ghost? Misha? Tymoshin?" Yelena was also lost in thought. She thought she had already figured out the ins and outs of the matter, but now it seems that what she knows is just the tip of the iceberg.
