We toiled in the snow for three days and got quite a harvest. Except for not seeing the wolves, tigers and brown bears that Fatty Guo said, we encountered almost all the common wild animals.
"I said, Fatty Guo, now your trip to the North Pole has to end early."
"It's really disappointing. I haven't had enough fun yet!"
"Fat man, do you still want to go back? Don't forget what we are here for. You don't want to stay here hunting for the rest of your life, do you?"
Fatty Guo sighed and said, "Besides selling antiques, this is the only thing that can cheer me up. It's better for you. The fat man wants me to leave before he has enough fun."
I suddenly looked solemn and said: "Time waits for no one, we must go back as soon as possible. The British are eyeing Zhuge Longyun. Even in Beijing, they dare not ensure absolute safety."
Fatty Guo nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll make preparations and sell all my belongings for money."
"You are so virtuous and you think about money. How long have you gone?" I laughed.
"Money is a good thing. My wife is still waiting for my money to support the family, including milk powder money for my children, filial piety money from my mother-in-law..."
"Yes, yes, please stop talking and hurry up."
Early the next morning, we took the train to enter the country. Si Weiqi actually took care of Fatty Guo's identity early in the morning. We encountered no obstacles along the way and we arrived in Beijing smoothly.
Coincidentally, a lecture was being held in the Peking University Library today. We waited in Zhuge Longyun's office for a long time but no one else showed up. When we asked, we found out that it was him who was giving the lecture today.
"Zhuge Longyun usually seems to be a very low-key person, how come he goes back to give a speech?" Cheng Yiyun asked doubtfully.
"This should be arranged by Sister Qi." The more people there are, the harder it is to attack, and the safer it is. We are not protecting him these days, so this is probably a last resort.
Cheng Yiyun led Fatty Guo into the lecture theater. She pointed at the podium and said, "The one standing on the podium is Zhuge Longyun."
"I know.
On the podium, there was an old man with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, none other than Zhuge Longyun. His mellow speech made the audience burst into applause.
"Students, archeology is an extremely important academic field in our country. It plays a vital role in the excavation of our country's ancient culture and historical relics, and also has a positive and far-reaching impact on world culture. Over the years, the archeology academic community has been hyped
The trend is getting worse and worse, abandoning academic rigor for money!"
"This old professor does have a bit of a common demeanor, he has a lot of character, and he dares to say these things." Fatty Guo underestimated him in the audience.
"After all, this is a professor from Peking University, representing China's top intellectuals, and what he said is naturally beyond our reach."
"Oh, that's different. What I admire is his courage and his courage to tell the truth, not that he is knowledgeable." Fatty Guo said with a smile, "In terms of knowledge, he may not be higher than me!"
"Why are you so shameless!"
…
The banner in the lecture hall is conspicuous, with the words "Warmly celebrating the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Department of Archeology of Peking University" in large characters.
"Lin Kun, I just heard a few students discussing in the bathroom. There will be a so-called dinner after the report is over. Many authorities and scholars in history and archeology will attend." Cheng Yiyun said.
"Who arranged this dinner?" When I heard the news, I was so shocked that chills ran down my back. "Isn't this asking for trouble!"
"I asked. The decision was just made this afternoon. I think there is something wrong here!"
"It's over, I have an ominous feeling!"
…
"I've heard for a long time that my mentor drank the best wines in the world, and his students brought Wuliangye, Shaoxing Nuerhong, Shaanxi Dukang, and Shanxi Fenjiu from the old cellar." A middle-aged man toasted at the meeting. This person was Zhuge Longyun's student more than ten years ago.
.
"Fatty Guo, have you seen that person?" This aroused my alarm, "I can't show my face now, so keep an eye on me!"
Fatty Guo immediately pulled away and walked to Zhuge Longyun: "Teacher, do you still remember me?"
Zhuge Longyun put on his reading glasses: "Who are you?"
Fatty Guo was able to pretend to be confused. Zhuge Longyun didn't know him, but he knew him well. He filled Zhuge Longyun's wine directly and said, "I'd like to toast my most respected teacher first!"
Fatty Guo deliberately said to the middle-aged man: "Can I borrow flowers to offer to the Buddha and use your wine? You are the teacher's student and my senior."
He took the opportunity to observe the words and expressions of the middle-aged man and capture every slightest reaction on the middle-aged man's face.
The middle-aged man readily agreed: "Okay! Junior, let's toast our teacher together!"
"Don't worry about drinking yet!" Fatty Guo deliberately hesitated, "Senior, is this Shaoxing Nuerhong?"
"Exactly!"
"Wow, I can be considered a Shaoxing native!"
"Yes, what a coincidence!"
"Yes, yes!"
"Senior, let us wish our mentor health and longevity, all the best, good fortune, and everything goes well..."
Seeing that the man didn't do anything unusual, I thought to myself: "It seems that this person has no malicious intentions, but we can't let down our guard!"
Zhuge Longyun drank the wine in one gulp: "Good wine! Authentic Shaoxing original cellar aged Erhong, good wine! This is a tribute wine..."
I did not relax my vigilance at all, and my keen eyes fell on everyone who came close to Zhuge Longyun.
During the dinner, a brown-haired and blue-eyed female student came to Zhuge Longyun and said in fluent Chinese: "Professor Zhuge, thank you for teaching me over the past four years and making me an excellent archaeologist. I am about to graduate.
Yes. This collar badge was left by my grandfather, and now I give it to you, which will make you even more glorious at the dinner party."
When Zhuge Longyun saw the collar badge with the Queen's portrait on it, he smiled and said: "Haha, thank you, I accept it. Thank you for your respect and recognition."
After saying that, he pinned the collar badge on the collar of his suit.
"Yiyun, go check on this woman."
"Professor Zhuge, I can't let go of Peking University, and I can't let go of you either. Please allow me to polish your collar badge, which will make you even more glorious." She took out her handkerchief.
I noticed that the foreign girl was extremely beautiful. She had waist-length brown curly hair that was very shiny and elastic. She was tall, with a tall chest, a slim waist, slender legs, big and bright blue eyes, and a shaped nose.
, like exquisite sculptures of Byzantine art.
It was a soul-stirring beauty, which also made Fatty Guo feel inexplicably strange. He immediately approached the girl, pretending to be drunk, raised his hand with two fingers, and snatched the handkerchief from her hand.
The girl blinked with soul-catching eyes, her gaze instantly focused on Fatty Guo, and she smiled charmingly: "You drank too much."
Fatty Guo pretended to be confused and said, "Miss, what am I going to do to you if I drink too much?"
"Please return the handkerchief to me."
Fatty Guo smiled and said, "The embroidery on this handkerchief is pretty good."
If Fatty didn't have enough time to check whether there was anything wrong with the handkerchief, this was the limit of what he could do. If he continued to make trouble unreasonably, his intentions might be revealed.
The girl took the handkerchief and took the collar that Zhuge Longyun was wearing.
The chapter was polished to a shiny finish. Then, she turned around, smiled, and hurried away, leaving behind a strong body fragrance.
I felt that this person was unusual, and I wanted to follow her but I didn't dare to stay away from Zhuge Longyun.
Zhuge Longyun drank a lot of wine. The dinner was almost over. Zhuge Longyun was invited to the stage to give a concluding speech. He fell to the ground and walked towards the podium. Suddenly he fell face to the ground. Everyone present was frightened and hurriedly
Go around.
…
"Zhuge Longyun is dead!"
My eyes are dull.
"How could this happen?" I was completely discouraged and my voice was breathless.
I felt indignant that the killer was killing people invisibly under my nose.
I feel even more ashamed, being treated as nothing by my enemies.
Of course, I also felt extremely stressed.
"The other party's methods are far more sophisticated than ours. It must have been done by the British, and they did it extremely well. Moreover, they have reminded us, and the rose collar badge is the most direct evidence.
"Are they provoking us?"
"Now no country dares to provoke us without risking their lives. They are telling us that they are responsible for this matter." I explained.
"Has the cause of death been investigated?" I asked.
"The doctor said it was alcohol poisoning."
"Are you sure you weren't poisoned by other chemicals?" I racked my brains to recall every scene at the dinner, even every small detail. "How could it be just because of alcohol poisoning?"
Suddenly, I rushed into the emergency room like crazy. Zhuge Longyun's body was covered with a snow-white shroud, and several doctors were about to push the body to the morgue.
I opened the corpse cloth and saw that Zhuge Longyun was naked from the waist up. I was a little excited and asked the doctor: "Where are Zhuge Longyun's clothes?"
Several doctors looked at each other in confusion. I grabbed a doctor by his collar and asked, "Where are his clothes?"
"... over there... I just had his stomach pumped, so..."
I hurriedly put on my rubber gloves, grabbed Zhuge Longyun's suit, pulled off the collar badge on his collar, smelled it, and there was still the smell of glass cleaner on it, and turned around and said to Cheng Yiyun: "This is it.
correct!"
"The murderer is probably that foreign girl! Detergent is a very common liquid for cleaning glass. Glass cleaners usually contain a colorless but fragrant carbon tetrachloride. When the murderer used a detergent stained with this kind of detergent,
Zhuge Longyun inhaled a sufficient amount of carbon tetrachloride when he wiped his collar badge with a handkerchief. In addition, Zhuge Longyun drank a lot, and carbon tetrachloride and alcohol reacted chemically, leading to death. This method of killing leaves no obvious traces.
evidence, so it is often mistaken for alcohol poisoning."
"What's the use of talking about it now, that woman has disappeared long ago!"
"Zhuge Longyun is dead, which is a huge loss to us."
"Then what do we do next?"
"motivation."
"motivation?"
"Yes, the British killed him, and they had an unavoidable motive!"
"Needless to say, killing people and silencing them!"
"Yes, murder and silence, but what does he know?"
"You have to ask him about this, how could I know!" Fatty Guo said.
"Although he is dead, I remembered an important clue he left us. Yiyun, do you still remember what he said about the British missionary?"
"Remember, what happened?"
Chapter completed!
