Chapter 182 Clues to the treasure delivered to the door
Upon hearing Zhang Ming's furious questioning, everyone at the scene widened their eyes, as if they were looking at aliens.
The audience enjoyed it even more.
[Laughing Rat, you are still a spy at this level, just to give Sister Xi his head. 】
[The nine-year compulsory education slipped through the net! 】
[At first glance, this guy is just like Cheng George. He did not grow up in China. Which Chinese child doesn’t know where Sun Wukong’s golden cudgel is hidden! 】
Zhang Ming originally thought that his rhetorical question was reasonable, but as a result, the place was completely silent, and everyone looked at him with scrutiny, which made him feel guilty.
He asked nervously, "Did I say something wrong?"
Everyone nodded unanimously.
Jiang Nanxi added, "You said you are a geological survey scientist, so you should be a highly educated person, right? How come you don't even know the important settings of one of the four great Chinese classics?"
Zhang Ming was sweating profusely, "I... I grew up and went to school abroad. I only returned to China to work after graduation. I have no special understanding of Chinese culture."
Seeing his guilty look, Ye Shutong knew there was something wrong with him, so he directly raised his hand and waved, "Catch him and check everything on him."
"Yes."
There were four or five members of the Psychic Bureau on the spot, surrounding Zhang Ming and wanting to search him.
"Don't touch my things!"
However, Zhang Ming held on to his backpack, with an increasingly guilty look on his face, "This bag contains my research materials, which have not been released to the public yet, and no one else can read them!"
Ye Shutong said coldly, "We are from the Psychic Bureau. The situation in Ailao Mountain is special recently. You are acting suspiciously. We have the right to check your things. If you refuse, then we can only send you out immediately!" ”
Zhang Ming said, "I am an overseas Chinese who has just returned to China to work. I just don't know much about Chinese culture. Can you treat me like this? This is really unfair!"
Jiang Nanxi said in surprise, "You were lost in Ailao Mountain. You came to us for help because you wanted us to take you out. Now that there is a more reliable person to take you out, why aren't you happy?"
"I..."
Zhang Ming's expression paused.
The words he told Jiang Nanxi and the others at the beginning were naturally made up by him. He just wanted to sneak into their team and complete the task assigned by Mr. Cheng.
Zhang Ming thought for a while and said, "My companions have not been found yet. They must have been lost in the mountains. I hope to find them and leave together."
Ye Shutong said, "You can give us your companion's information, and then you leave first. When we find the person, we will contact you."
Zhang Ming didn't speak for a long time.
Ye Shutong's expression became even colder, "Why, you don't even have any information about your companions? It seems that few of what you said are true."
Zhang Ming was sent here temporarily, and he made up the excuse for getting lost with his companions. Where did he get the information?
When he saw that the people around him were refusing to let him go, and obviously not letting him follow Jiang Nanxi, his face turned ugly.
Zhang Ming stared at Jiang Nanxi for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll follow you out."
Forget it, the most important thing has been done, just leave if you leave!
As long as these people die in the Tusi Mansion, Mr. Cheng can still get what he needs!
Hearing this, Ye Shutong said to the people around Zhang Ming, "Look at him. The helicopter will come later and take him out together to clarify the matter."
What this means is that if the matter is not clarified, Zhang Ming cannot be allowed to leave easily.
After the others agreed, Jiang Nanxi went over and asked if there was any reward for reporting spies.
Ye Shutong said that only if there is definite evidence to prove that Zhang Ming is a spy from another country can she get the bonus. The result will only be known after we go out and conduct an investigation.
After Jiang Nanxi and Ye Shutong chatted, she and her teammates left the Saba tribe and continued their journey.
But when she left the Saba village, she felt a wave of unkind eyes staring at her. Jiang Nanxi turned around and saw Zhang Ming being guarded.
Zhang Ming felt that she turned her head, so he looked away and stopped staring at her.
"What does this kid want to do?"
Jiang Nanxi muttered and continued walking.
Fortunately, the distance they just walked was not very far, and it didn't take much time to get back and forth.
Jiang Nanxi checked the location of the Tusi Mansion in Ailao Mountain on the satellite map, and took everyone to the Tusi Mansion first.
On the way there, everyone noticed that the surrounding plants were getting weirder and weirder.
Most of the trees grew crookedly, and their dense branches and leaves blocked most of the sunlight. As a result, the light in the mountains was still very dim in the afternoon, and you needed to turn on a flashlight to see clearly what was nearby.
The branches and trunks of the trees were covered with thick moss, the mountain road was extremely wet and muddy, making it difficult to walk, and there was also a thin mist in the forest.
Lu Jiaqi pulled out his shoes from the wet soil and couldn't help complaining, "It's not raining yet. Why is the ground so wet and foggy?"
Liu Qingyan's voice came, "Ailao Mountain is the transition zone between the southern subtropical zone and the northern subtropical climate. Now we are on the windward slope of Ailao Mountain. The air humidity in this direction is high, and the clouds and fog will increase as the altitude increases. , resulting in less and less visibility in the forest, please be careful.”
As he finished speaking, he saw dewdrops hanging on the branches and leaves of some trees, and small water droplets dripped down from time to time.
He stretched out his hand to help Jiang Nanxi pull the hood of her jacket and put it on for her.
There was a snap.
As soon as Jiang Nanxi put on her hat, she felt a copper piece the size of a fingernail fall out of the hat.
The thing fell on her neck, and she quickly reached out to grab it to prevent it from falling into her clothes.
"What is this? Did you put it there?"
Jiang Nanxi turned to look at Liu Qingyan.
"..."
Liu Qingyan was speechless for a while, "I just want to help you pull your hat. Why should I put this thing?"
Jiang Nanxi withdrew his gaze and stared at the copper piece the size of a fingernail in his hand, "Then what is this? Why is it in my hat?"
"Let me see."
Liu Qingyan took it and took a look, and saw that the old copper piece was covered with patina and there was a drop of blood on it, like parts that had fallen off some ancient objects.
"This thing is a bit evil."
Liu Qingyan said, "The thing looks old, like it came out of the soil, but the drop of blood on it is very fresh. It must have dried on it recently."
Jiang Nanxi narrowed his eyes and thought about it, "Did Zhang Ming take the opportunity to put it in my clothes and hat? I had been in contact with him just now."
When she first met Zhang Ming, she wanted to talk to him and hooked up with him for a while.
"It's possible."
Liu Qingyan said, "This thing is not a good thing, so I'd better just throw it away."
He was about to throw away the copper piece the size of a fingernail when Sang Yu, who was walking at the back of the team, suddenly let out a strange scream.
Sang Yu's figure flashed.
He suddenly came to them from the back of the team, staring directly at the copper plate.
"Treasure...treasure..."
