Chapter 98 The Lost 1964 (35)
After a while of silence, Tang Feng suddenly remembered something, and said to everyone: "After Liang Yuan and I strayed into the Winter Palace, we overheard the call between Timoshin and Stephen. During the call, Timoshin told Stephen that he is now It is certain that the ghost is the old guy, and then he specifically explained that it is his teacher, and said that the old guy is not dead, has been living in the sewer, and now he has returned to the Winter Palace."

"Ji Moshen's teacher?" Xu Renyu suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone looked at Xu Renyu, wondering why Xu Renyu lost his composure, only Tang Feng stared at Xu Renyu, and slowly said a sentence: "I suddenly thought... Could that ghost... Could it be Professor Boris? "

"No! It's impossible. Professor Boris died eight years ago. Didn't the two of us visit his tomb? Maybe Tymoshen has other teachers?" Xu Renyu couldn't believe it.

"Tang Feng, do you mean that Professor Boris is the ghost Misha?" Han Jiang suddenly remembered that Tang Feng and Xu Renyu had told him about Professor Boris.

Tang Feng nodded and said, "It can also be said that the ghost Misha is Professor Boris."

Xu Renyu also had to start to believe this assertion at this time, and the voice and appearance of Professor Boris back then emerged before his eyes, "They are indeed very close in age, and Professor Boris' mentor is also Academician Arik, if Misha Went to St. Petersburg University after 1988... But how did Professor Boris become a ghost?"

Han Jiang pondered for a while, then murmured: "The ghost Misha? Professor Boris? Tymoshen? Missing the 1964 file? Who is the real ghost..."

Xu Renyu told Yelena and Makarov about his relationship with Professor Boris back then. After Yelena listened, she said to Han Jiang: "Okay, don't think about it, I just need to go to St. Petersburg University to find out more about Boris. The situation of the professor. Now Tymoshin has also escaped, and their conspiracy has been completely exposed. They will definitely jump over the wall in a hurry, take the jade screen, and the mysterious Buddha head to escape, so we must block them in Petersburg."

Yelena paused, and then ordered to Ivanov: "Ivanov, you keep a few people here in the Winter Palace, and the others can withdraw. Your main task is to take people to the airport, the station, and the transportation hubs out of the city. Do not let Stephen and Tymoshen go, and let me know in time if there is any situation."

Ivanov took the order to go, but Han Jiang said: "It's not the only way to block it like this. There are inevitably loopholes in such a big city."

"What do you mean?" Yelena asked.

"We want to take the initiative!" Han Jiang said firmly.

"But what direction are we going to attack? We don't know where Yuchaping is hidden by them?"

"I remember Timoshin mentioned on the phone that he asked Stephen to go to that place immediately to take the jade screen." Tang Feng tried his best to recall every word Timoshin said at that time, but he was too nervous at that time Now, he can only recall Tymoshin's words bit by bit.

"That place? Didn't he say what it is?" Han Jiang asked anxiously.

"No. I think Stephen knew about that place, and they should have made an agreement before." Tang Feng said.

"This shows that the jade screen is not in the hands of Stephen and Timo Shen yet. After they stole the jade screen, they hid it in an unknown place. Where could it be?" Han Jiang wondered.

Yelena said angrily: "Whoever he is, first search the safes of all the banks in the city."

"No, it's too ostentatious to go to war like this." Makarov dissuaded Yelena.

"Then what else can be done?"

"There will be a solution, let us all calm down and think about it." Makarov remained calm.

Tang Feng raised his head, staring at the huge oil painting on the top of the Winter Palace. The oil painting seemed to be a picture of "The Crucifixion of Jesus". Looking at the painting, Tang Feng suddenly saw a large piece of red in front of his eyes. Slowly spread out, like a bunch of bright red roses, and like a big pool of dark red blood... Tang Feng closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, a scene of tranquility emerged before his eyes. In the picture, Tang Feng calmly said to everyone: "I thought of a place."

"where?"

"The cemetery, the cemetery of Professor Boris!" Tang Feng emphasized.

"The cemetery? Why is it there?" Han Jiang asked Tang Feng back.

"Intuition, please trust my intuition, this is a sentence you often say." Tang Feng replied.

"That is indeed an unobtrusive place." Xu Renyu nodded in agreement with Tang Feng's speculation.

Tang Feng explained again: "Actually, I didn't rely entirely on intuition. When Dr. Xu and I went to the cemetery of Professor Boris, we saw someone put a large bouquet of red roses in front of the professor's simple tomb. It should have been placed there not long ago. , probably before we went; I thought at the time, it must be very expensive to buy such a large bouquet of red roses in Petersburg in such a cold season! Dr. Xu once said that Professor Boris lived alone and had no children. There are not many friends, and the cemetery is very remote. In such a cold weather, who would brave the wind and snow to visit Professor Boris in a remote cemetery? Moreover, he presented such a large bouquet of expensive red roses. The person is Tymoshin!"

"This time is close to the time when the jade screen was stolen. But even if Ji Moshen hid the jade screen in the cemetery, what does it have to do with presenting flowers?" Han Jiang was puzzled.

"Of course there is no necessary connection with presenting flowers. I think if Professor Boris is the ghost Misha, Timoshen may be guilty of harming his teacher! Of course, this is just my guess."

Yelena also began to believe Tang Feng's conjecture, "Tang Feng is right. Ji Moshen probably hid the stolen jade screen in the tomb. Well, let's stop guessing, and we will split up and take action. Is the jade screen hidden in the cemetery, Han Jiang, Tang Feng, and father, you go to the cemetery of Professor Boris first to prevent someone from digging the grave, and wait for dawn; I will immediately open the official document for the excavation of the cemetery, and in addition, go to St. Petersburg University Check the situation of Professor Boris at school, Dr. Xu, you'd better go with me, and then we will meet at the cemetery."

Xu Renyu nodded and left with Yelena, while Tang Feng, Han Jiang, Liang Yuan, and Makarov rushed to the Shuvalovo Cemetery in the suburbs. At this time, it was already dawn the next day, and the Winter Palace experienced a sleepless night.

Before dawn, Tang Feng, Han Jiang, Liang Yuan, and Makarov arrived at the Shuvalovo Cemetery. The cemetery was surprisingly quiet, with no birdsong or people in sight. A path leads all the way to the depths of the cemetery. Four people stepped on the snow and made a dull sound of "creak! Creak!" Liang Yuan nestled in Tang Feng's arms and looked in horror at the rows of tombstones and crosses on both sides of the path. , the four of them walked to the end of the trail, Tang Feng pointed to a small hillside on the left according to his memory, and whispered: "It should be on that hillside."

The four continued to advance up the hill. Suddenly, they heard a soft rubbing sound. Han Jiang pulled out the pistol vigilantly. This was the pistol that Yelena gave him for self-defense when she left the Winter Palace. Han Jiang walked in front of Tang Feng. , standing in the snow, observing the surrounding environment, it was almost dawn, and fog rose in the cemetery, Han Jiang couldn't see the situation ten meters ahead, he could only listen quietly, and he listened again There was a soft rubbing sound. At this time, there should be no one in the cemetery. Could it be Stephen or Tymoshin?When Han Jiang was suspicious, Makarov walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous, they are two naughty little squirrels."

"Squirrel! Where? Are you so sure?"

"Come on! I'm sure it's a squirrel."

The four continued to go up the hillside. After 10 minutes, they came to the small hillside. Han Jiang stood on the hillside and looked around, but he still couldn't see the surrounding environment clearly. On the hillside, there is a dense pine forest.Han Jiang turned around and took a careful look at their positions with a flashlight. He saw a huge black stone tablet engraved with two large Chinese characters "Buan". When Han Jiang was surprised, Tang Feng pointed to the tombstone and introduced: "This is the tomb of Academician Alik, a famous master of Sinology."

"Is it Misha's teacher?" Makarov asked.

"Yes, many Russian sinologists are his students." Tang Feng replied.

"Where's Professor Boris' tomb?" Han Jiang asked Tang Feng.

"It should be around here."

With that said, Tang Feng was going to look for the tomb of Professor Boris, but was stopped by Han Jiang. Han Jiang carefully used the flashlight to shine around the tomb of Academician Alik, until it reached the snowy place far away. On the ground, Han Jiang felt a little relieved and said, "Except for our footprints, no other people's footprints have been found here. It seems that apart from us, no one else has been here in the past two days."

Tang Feng quickly found Professor Boris's tombstone among a pile of messy tombstones, because he saw the bouquet of red roses again, and the red roses were still lying quietly in front of Professor Boris's tomb. Hit, has lost its former bright colors.

Tang Feng's flashlight shone on the tombstone, which was still an ordinary, even crude tombstone, with the name "Boris Mikhainovich Ustinov" engraved on it in Russian, There was nothing else, Tang Feng's flashlight slowly moved to the back of the tombstone, which was the place where Professor Boris was buried.Tang Feng walked up to it and checked it carefully with a flashlight. Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide and said in surprise: "Look, it seems that someone has flipped this place."

A few people gathered around and saw that Professor Boris' tomb was covered with snow, but the snow was obviously thinner than other tombs, and it was a bit messy. Tang Feng said with certainty: "There must be something wrong with this." , I remember the last time I came here with Dr. Xu, the snow here was thick and not as messy as this."

"It seems that you are right!" Han Jiang said.

Liang Yuan suddenly asked Han Jiang: "If Yu Chaping is really buried here, wouldn't it be very dangerous for us to be here now? Stephen and Timo Shen may bring people here anytime."

Han Jiang nodded and said, "Yes, we must be ready for battle at any time."

"I hope Yelena can bring someone to arrive sooner." Makarov prayed silently.

When Yelena and Xu Renyu rushed to the Shuvalovo Cemetery with a large team, it was already bright, but the morning fog had not cleared. The moment Tang Feng and Han Jiang saw Yelena, they relaxed , The police set up several layers of cordon around the cemetery, and Yelena also brought an experienced forensic doctor.

"Finally, you are here. We can now conclude that the tomb of Professor Boris has been tampered with recently." Han Jiang straightforwardly introduced their discovery to Yelena.

"Oh! So it's very possible that the jade screen is hidden here?" Yelena said excitedly.

"Then we have to dig it out to find out!" Makarov said.

Yelena said: "I have also made new discoveries. We have figured out Professor Boris' experience at St. Petersburg University. He did come to St. Petersburg University in 1988, and Tymoshin was indeed his student. About eight years ago Professor Boris died of a dreadful, supposedly contagious skin disease, so that few people attended his funeral, and very few knew where his tomb was."

"According to the memories of Professor Boris' colleagues, it was Timoshin who took care of Professor Boris when he was dying. After Professor Boris died, it was Timoshin who organized the funeral for him and built this tomb for him." Xu Renyu added.

"That's right! Then our inference is completely valid. After 1988, Misha lost the protection of the KGB and came to teach at St. Petersburg University. He could have spent his later years in peace, but he was killed by his student Tymoshen. , but Misha did not die, he escaped into the sewer pipe and became a ghost!" Tang Feng said.

"Then what will be in the tomb? Could it be that it has been empty for so many years?" Liang Yuan asked suddenly.

"Dig it out and have a look!" Yelena said, and ordered two policemen to start digging. The tomb was very shallow. After 5 minutes, a small tomb was revealed. Inside the tomb was a coffin made of mahogany. Rove carefully observed the coffin and said, "Judging from the texture and workmanship of the coffin, it is a good coffin. It has been eight years and there is no sign of rot."

"Such a good coffin, won't it be empty inside?" Liang Yuan said.

Yelena winked at a policeman, who used a crowbar to pry open the mahogany coffin in the tomb. Everyone gathered around the tomb, staring nervously at the coffin in front of them.The lid of the coffin was lifted, and a skeleton without a skull appeared in front of everyone. Everyone was shocked when they saw it. "A skeleton without a head?" Everyone exclaimed in unison.

After 2 minutes, only Tang Feng calmed down quickly. Without waiting for the forensic doctor to act, he reached out and picked up a humerus from the coffin, looked at it carefully, and said to everyone: "This skeleton is very clean. The whole coffin is very clean, obviously not like those coffins where people are actually buried, this headless skeleton reminds me of the empress that Tymoshin told me about."

"Is that the queen wrapped in the Buddha statue?" Yelena asked back.

Tang Feng nodded, "Well, it's the empress who didn't hide."

Yelena didn't say anything, and turned around to signal the experienced forensic doctor to investigate the skeleton, and the forensic doctor quickly came to a preliminary conclusion, "This headless skeleton is a female skeleton, and it is preliminarily judged to be a Tibetan —Arian-Mongolian female, about 40 years old, maybe older."

This conclusion shocked everyone. A woman’s skeleton appeared in Professor Boris’ tomb, and it was of Mongolian race. “That means this skeleton can’t be Russian?” Yelena asked in amazement Forensic.

The forensic doctor nodded and replied affirmatively: "This skeleton should come from the East, and it should have a long history, at least hundreds of years. She is older than every soul in this cemetery. This is really incredible This is the first time in my decades of professional life that I have come across..."

Yelena couldn't hear the forensic doctor's words anymore, she just felt her brain was spinning, and it was a mess. After a long time, he heard Makarov say: "It seems that Tang Feng's deduction is correct, this skeleton It is true that the queen's bones were not hidden, she came from the far east, but was buried here."

After Makarov finished speaking, he drew a cross on his chest, but Tang Feng had a new question: "But according to Tymoshin, the bones of the queen who did not hide were lost in the Great Patriotic War. Will suddenly appear here?"

"I'll ask Timoshen and Misha the ghost." After Yelena finished speaking, she ordered the forensic doctor to collect the headless female skeleton and bring it back to the laboratory for detailed examination. "The question now is the jade screen? There is no such thing in the coffin. Could it be that Timoshen and Stephen have already taken the jade screen?" Yelena said disappointedly.

As soon as Yelena finished speaking, Tang Feng jumped down from the grave and stood in the coffin. Liang Yuan asked in surprise, "Tang Feng, what are you going to do?"

"I believe the jade screen is here." As he said, Tang Feng bent down and touched the wooden board at the bottom of the coffin, and then knocked with his hand. Then, Tang Feng took the crowbar in the policeman's hand and inserted it into the coffin. The edge of the bottom of the coffin was pried upwards vigorously, and the wooden boards at the bottom of the coffin were pried up. Everyone was surprised to find that there was a compartment under the coffin boards. Tang Feng excitedly pried open all the wooden boards and uncovered the wooden boards A layer of sponge covered under it - a piece of warm and beautiful jade was displayed in front of everyone, with a faint golden light shining on the jade surface, Tang Feng recognized at a glance that this was the jade screen they found in the black head stone room.

Tang Feng took out the jade screen from the coffin, and Makarov took it carefully and placed it on the snow in front of the tombstone.Immediately afterwards, Tang Feng found a neat row of M4A1 assault rifles and a large amount of ammunition from the compartment under the coffin.

"Tymoshin regards this as his storage room!" Yelena sighed as she looked at the guns that emerged from the grave.As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion behind everyone.
