Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 496 The Mystery of the Spy
I followed the rope to Kumbu, and found him squatting next to Zheng Qian's corpse, with a strange look on his face, and he just nodded his head slightly when he saw me coming.

"What did you find?" I glanced at Zheng Qian's body, the wounds began to turn white, other than that there was no difference from before.

Kunbu looked solemn, pointed at Zheng Qian's wound and said, "The scars here are a little strange."

He was referring to the middle part of the scar. If it was torn by ghost hands, it should have started from here. Kumbu pointed to the wound and made a tearing motion. I instantly understood what he was trying to express.

If the tearing must be from the middle to the two sides to cause a large wound, it is more realistic, and no one tears from the outside to the inside.But if it was torn out along the middle, there would be a problem with the wound on Zheng Qian's back—it was too big!
We've seen the ghost hand just now, it's a bit bigger than ours, but it can't tear people's flesh as easily as tearing paper, otherwise he would be gone the moment he grabbed Kumbu, and it wouldn't be his turn at all I go to the rescue.But looking at the wound on Zheng Qian's back, it was as if it had been torn into such a huge wound casually.

"Didn't that thing do it?" I said nah.

But if it wasn't for that ghost, who killed Zheng Qian?
Kunbu's face was extremely ugly, and he said that the wound was torn out at the beginning, but it was definitely not fatal. As for how to cause a bigger wound later and kill Zheng Qian, he judged that it was probably man-made.

man-made

My brows frowned instantly, Zheng Qian was with Lao Yan and the others, if it was artificial, wouldn't they care?
Or did Zheng Qian separate from Lao Yan and the others before he died?
Then why did they separate?

A bunch of questions drilled into my ears, almost filling my head. I scratched my hair irritably.

"Chang'an, is it possible..." After speaking, Kumbu stretched out three fingers. Needless to say, he was suspicious of Liu Hanqiu and others from 303, but no matter how crazy they are, they wouldn't be able to kill ordinary people, right?

Kunbu also hesitated, although Liu Hanqiu is not a good person, but I believe all this is just because he coveted the status of 701, it is a power struggle.

"It's hard to say." Kunbu hesitated for a while but said softly.

I thought of Liu Hanqiu's assassination of me and Lao Yan outside Fengshou Village, and the two dead men who entered Fengshou Village and were finally eaten by Long Zong, and I was also hesitant.

After all, Old Yan and the others would not do such a thing, and Old Zheng and the others were even less likely. After all, they were people from Fengshou Village. At most, Qian Zai's torn hands were seriously injured, and his life would not be in danger.

Who else is there on this island?

You don't need to think about it, you know it's Liu Hanqiu and the others, but what's the use of them killing Zheng Qian?

"No, what we want to think about is why Liu Hanqiu is always one step ahead of us." A flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and my eyes passed through Zheng Qian's body like an arrow, as if I could see Liu Hanqiu's face through him .

We stayed in Fengshou Village for a long time, and we only found out the location of this place under the deliberate promotion of the old village head, and it was also under the leadership of the old Zheng Shu of Fengshou Village that we risked our lives to find this island. The twists and turns during the period Not too much.

What kind of ability does Liu Hanqiu rely on to be one step ahead of us in everything?

Kunbu and I thought about it for a long time but couldn't think of a reason. The mission this time was of a sudden nature, relying on the legend of carrying the coffin in Kowloon. Without more information, Liu Hanqiu probably wouldn't have more detailed information. The clue is right.But if he had found the island that we have come to after so many twists and turns by his real ability, he would not have coveted the status of 701 all these years.

The superiors are not stupid, whoever can lead 701 better and get back more national treasures is the director of 701, so Liu Hanqiu must not have such ability.

Throw out all the impossible, and the rest must be the truth—someone is helping him, and this person is either from our 701 or from Fengshou Village.

But the people in Fengshou Village pinned their hope of unraveling the curse on us, so it is unlikely to be them, so the traitor can only come from 701...

My palms were full of sweat, and I tried my best to prevent myself from thinking about it. The members of 701 were born and died together. If anyone betrayed, the consequences would be disastrous, not to mention whether our psychology can bear it.

"Chang'an, did you think of something?" Kunbu asked very sharply.

I opened my mouth, not knowing whether I should say it, but finally I could only give a wry smile.

Kunbu frowned: "Are you doubting something, Chang'an, you have to remember that in the tomb, you will never be able to fight alone, not even Fourth Miss."

I smiled bitterly, and it took me a long time to squeeze out a few words——I suspected that there were spies in 701.

"Impossible!" Kumbu denied it without even thinking about it. I also knew it was impossible, but I deeply felt that my speculation was not wrong.I told Kumbu my conjecture, and he frowned after hearing it, and then asked me if I still remember the ancient tomb of Zengguo last time?
I nodded. Last time, we also suspected that there was a traitor in 701, which caused our schedule to go unsatisfactory. After Lao Yan returned to Yanjing, he vigorously investigated the main members, but in the end the spy was not found.

I instantly understood what Kumbu meant—he suspected that the spies might be among the non-key members!
"But we didn't contact them after we arrived on the island..." I paused as I spoke. In order to keep the information in time and just in case, Lao Yan usually keeps in touch with the department. If there is no signal, the radio station will be used. If there is no signal, the matter will be recorded, and when there is a signal, it will be reported back.

This is also the particularity of 701's work, because it is not impossible for the entire army to be wiped out. After Lao Yan suffered from the loss of the Changye Ancient Kingdom, the entire army was almost wiped out, and he has been stricter in this aspect. Anyone who goes out to perform missions can describe the situation There are as many details as possible.

Therefore, someone in the 701 headquarters must know our every move at this moment!
I just felt sour, and suddenly thought of a paradox—that is, Liu Hanqiu moved faster than us. If he moved based on Lao Yan's report, he must be later than us.

Thinking of this, I was relieved for a while. Doesn't this mean that there are no spies among us, but the question turns back, what is Liu Hanqiu relying on to stay one step ahead of us?
"Bug!" I suddenly thought of a possibility, and hurriedly asked Kunbu, if Liu Hanqiu eavesdropped on our conversation, would it be possible to lead us to the island?
After all, before we set off, we would discuss specific matters. Some things were discussed in great detail, such as what equipment we should bring, how to carry out operations after going to the island, etc., and we also had a meeting when we set off from Yanjing.
