An Zixin blinked her big eyes, looked at Ruan Zhou'an and said, "Jiang Zi, who is Zhou Liang? Can you contact me?"
Ruan Zhouan immediately said honestly: "I have his phone number. I'll call and see if I can get through..."
A minute later, Ruan Zhouan said depressedly: "That person turned off his phone..."
An Zixin cursed in her heart for wasting this girl's time, and was about to turn around and leave when Ruan Zhouan stopped her again. An Zixin tried her best to put on a smile and said, "Is there anything else?"
Ruan Zhou An gritted his teeth and said: "Classmate An, I know the address of Zhou Hengliang's home. I will take you there. Actually... Well, I am also a little worried about the teacher. He has never disappeared for so many days without any reason..."
An Zixin thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's get it together. I happen to have a car, and I have some friends to go with me!"
Ten minutes later, Ruan Zhouan stared dumbfoundedly at a dozen Italians in black suits and sunglasses with tough faces, and stammered: "Classmate An...why are all your friends all foreigners..."
An Zixin said seriously: "Academics do not distinguish between national boundaries, and history is a precious heritage that belongs to the whole world. These friends are all from Italy. They are dedicated to learning and admire Professor Li very much..."
Ruan Zhouan trembled a little and said: "Really...really?"
An Zixin patted him on the shoulder and said: "Why not! Do you know Marco Polo? He is Italian. It can be seen that this nation has loved our oriental history since ancient times..."
Ruan Zhouan seemed to be convinced, but he was still a little uneasy and said: "Then why are they all... wearing black suits, black ties and black sunglasses? How come... they look like... black..."
An Zixin hurriedly interrupted: "You are black! Wearing black clothes is a gangster?! When someone wears a suit, it means that they respect Professor Li and pay special attention to this meeting. They are just wearing more formal clothes. This is etiquette, understand.
don't know?!"
Ruan Zhouan was finally convinced and said honestly: "Okay, I will lead the way..."
Zhou Hengliang took An Zixin and a large group of Italians all the way to an old alley in the capital.
This alley is full of historical deposits no matter how you look at it, and it is hidden behind the bustling business center, forming a sharp contrast and giving you the feeling of traveling through time. This is also a major feature of Beijing.
It was already evening, the sky was already dark, there were very few street lights in the alley, and there was a long stretch of the road in darkness. Robert immediately led the people to disperse the formation, and vaguely surrounded An Zixin in the middle.
An Zixin also admired her in her heart. This handsome Italian guy with a serious smile and an expressionless face was really reliable in what he did. No wonder he was highly regarded by the two old men.
Soon, Ruan Zhouan led them to a door. He knocked hard and called Uncle Zhou several times! Unfortunately, no one answered the door.
At this time, Alessio, who had curly hair and a childish look, came over. He squatted down and looked at the door lock and then said quickly to An Zixin in Italian: "This door has been broken open, and it happened recently...
…”
In the past few months, the little beauty was forced to learn some Italian by the two old men, so she could understand it better. She hesitated and said: "Can you open it again?"
Alessio patted his chest triumphantly, then took out a thin needle, slowly inserted it into the keyhole and started to pry. An Zixin remembered this person's resume. This young man is actually only sixteen years old this year.
An Zixin is still three years younger.
According to the resume given by the two old men, his parents died when he was ten years old, and he was abused by his adopted aunt. He eventually lived on the street and became a thief. Later, he was spotted by two old men on the street and caught him.
Trained to become a subordinate.
After all, the prince brothers have matured and are very good at judging people. An Zixin has already discovered the extraordinary qualities of this young man from his actions in the past few days. In addition to having strong thief skills, Alessio also has great observation skills.
He is unique among people, he was the one who discovered the secret room in the warehouse last time.
An Zixin was just thinking about something when she heard a click and the door had opened. Alessio smiled proudly and ducked in first!
Ruan Zhouan stammered: "Isn't it bad to look like this? This... illegal intrusion... lock picking... is illegal..."
An Zixin cursed angrily: "Aren't we here to find your teacher? The Italian classmate just now said that the lock here has been picked, and I am worried about your teacher's safety, okay?! Stop talking nonsense and come in with me quickly.
Find someone!"
Ruan Zhouan was pushed by her, maybe he was really worried about his teacher, so he said no more and walked in second.
Seeing that An Zixin was about to follow her in, Toledo came over and whispered, "Let Ricardo follow you in. Robert and I will lead the others to guard the surroundings."
An Zixin nodded, Ricardo followed immediately, and the other Italians disappeared into the dim alley in an instant.
Ricardo is a bald man in his thirties and the older one in the team, but his fighting ability is quite amazing and he is the second best player in the team after Robert!
Ricardo is a very serious and meticulous person, so it makes sense for Toledo to arrange for him to come in. Searching rooms is what he and Alessio are best at, plus they have been following Anzi closely.
The puppy 'Cow' at Xin's feet, these two people plus a dog are definitely the best partners to find a secret.
After entering the door, An Zixin noticed that it was a standard old-fashioned courtyard house. It was probably the residence of a wealthy family in the old days, and there was a concierge at the door.
At this moment, the courtyard was dark and silent, and there was no light in the room.
By the moonlight, An Zixin faintly noticed that many of the windows in the wing rooms surrounding the courtyard were covered with dust. It may have been that no one had stayed there for a long time. The only exception was the east wing room. Only those few houses were somewhat popular.
, at least someone has lived there recently.
Ricardo, Alessio and 'Cow' did not hesitate to disperse and search. Ruan Zhouan pointed to the east wing and said: "The archaeologist Zhou Hengliang lives here. I accompanied the teacher here once...
"
An Zixin was stunned, nodded and then carefully opened the door to the east wing. The door was not locked and opened with a creak. After she walked in, she pressed the switch and the light turned on.
.
The entrance is the living room, with ordinary old-fashioned furniture and an old sofa, and then there is the bedroom. Although Zi Xin is not a detective, she can tell from the things in the room, especially the clothes, that the owner here should be a
bachelor.
Unfortunately, nothing valuable was found in the room. She had to ask Ruan Zhouan: "Do you know what your teacher and this Zhou Hengliang talked about?"
Ruan Zhouan scratched his head and said as if he was trying hard to recall: "I really don't know the details, but I know roughly that Zhou Hengliang seemed to have gone to the west and participated in a joint archaeological team. Something went wrong during that archaeological operation. Others in the team
Everyone died in the desert, and he came back alone. He told the public that he found nothing, but he told my teacher that he actually found something..."
An Zixin immediately said: "What?"
Ruan Zhouan looked embarrassed and said: "Classmate An, I don't know about this. Anyway, Zhou Hengliang encountered a bottleneck in his research on this thing, so he found my teacher. As you know, he is the top expert on Xixia history...
…”
An Zixin blinked her big eyes and murmured: "I see..."
At this time, the door was pushed open, and Alessio, Ricardo and 'Cow' ran in one after another. The first two shook their heads to indicate that they had no valuable discoveries, and the 'Cow' was not to mention, look at it.
You can tell by the honest look on his face as he squats there. If he discovers something, he will definitely pounce on his owner as soon as possible...
The two people and the dog quickly focused their search on this house where someone had lived in it. They searched every inch of the house. Suddenly Alessio let out a sigh and saw his eyes fixed on the wall.
A wall clock, An Zixin asked him inexplicably what happened to us? Have you never seen a wall clock from China?
Alessio shook his head and Nono said: "The hanging is a bit crooked..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the cow scurried up. Without hesitation, the guy bit the wall clock and pulled it. The wall clock was immediately torn off, revealing a small black hole in the back.
The 'cow' was indeed smart, knowing that what was important was what was behind it, so it threw away the worthless wall clock, jumped up again and reached into the hole with its little paws, and soon it pulled out a piece of paper.
.
Then he happily handed it over to the owner, looking like he was asking for praise.
While comforting the 'cow', An Zixin opened the thing and discovered that it was actually a hand-drawn map. This map was definitely not our common urban traffic map, but a professional topographic map with many contents marked on it, such as altitude.
, distance, etc. It’s a pity that An Zixin is not the one who caught her at all. She is completely blind and can’t understand...
While she was struggling, she suddenly heard the top student Ruan Zhouan behind her say in surprise: "This is the topographic map near Blackwater City!"
An Zixin said inexplicably: "Blackwater City..."
She was about to say something when she suddenly heard a clicking sound on the roof, and then a black shadow suddenly rushed over! Unexpectedly, there was someone hiding on the roof!
An Zixin reacted and moved very quickly. She took the map and backed away quickly. The one who jumped down was a middle-aged man. He was holding a machete in his hand and slashed it down quickly. This man was obviously very skilled and the slash was very fast.
She was in a hurry, and An Zixin had time to escape if she had to, but she happened to have the map in her hand, so she hesitated.
At the critical moment, a strong body suddenly stood in front of her, it was the bald Ricardo!
I saw that the knife struck him firmly, and blood spattered, but Ricardo didn't even shake, and punched him without hesitation! The swordsman didn't expect that the foreigner was so tough, and this time he didn't
I ran away but was punched by him and flew out!
Then there were several more noises on the roof, and three more guys with knives jumped down!
An Zixin shouted "hide" to Ruan Zhouan, then pulled out the stick given by Lin Wenzhou and rushed forward with Alessio and the "cow"! (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
