Bourne: Command and Conquer

Chapter 174, Sophora Mechanism

“Zhongshan Mausoleum Guards? They don’t care about this.”

"Yeah?"

 “They are only responsible for maintaining daily order. Responsible for peripheral security.”

 “Have they had any personnel abnormalities recently?”

 “You said the crime was committed from within?”

 “I’ll just say whatever I want…”

 Zhang Yong still felt that it was making a mountain out of a molehill.

 Losing a mausoleum blueprint is no big deal.

Zhongshan Mausoleum is guarded by guards. What's the use of getting the drawings?

what do you want to do?

There is nothing valuable here.

"Report!"

 Suddenly, someone came in a hurry.

 Looking at this and that, it seems that I don’t know who to report to.

 Everyone gathered around Zhang Yong. It seems that Zhang Yong is the big shot. However, Zhang Yong does look too young.

 Zhang Yong:? ? ?

 Look around.

It seems like you have become the talker?

 Hang, I’m so flattered!

 A trivial matter can make you addicted to leadership?

 He doesn’t want to.

 If anything happens, you will have to bear the blame.

 However, the eyes of everyone around him fell on him. It was useless for him to argue.

He had no choice but to say: "Tell me. What's the matter?"

“Report! The Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Guard reported that one of their soldiers is missing.”

"Um?"

 Everyone immediately smelled something was wrong.

  Like a shark in the deep sea, smelling blood. I suddenly became energetic.

 Zhang Yong:? ? ?

No way?

 Someone is missing? Must be a coincidence. coincide.

 How could anyone want a drawing of a mausoleum? This thing is actually quite unlucky. Don’t even want to give it to me.

"specific situation."

 “Captain Fan of the Guard is outside.”

 “Invite him in.”

"yes!"

Soon, Captain Fan from the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum Guard came in.

This Captain Fan was once the personal bodyguard of the founding father. For many years, he has been guarding Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum conscientiously.

"Report!"

 “Who are the missing soldiers?”

“His name is Chen Yongfu. He is twenty-two years old. He is from Guanzhong. He has only been in the army for one year and four months.”

 “When did you disappear?”

"He asked for leave yesterday morning. He was supposed to return to the team last night. But until now, he still hasn't come back. We sent people to look for him, but they couldn't find him. So we judged that something might have happened to him..."

 “Did he ask for leave to say what he was going to do?”

“He said he was going to meet a friend. He is also from Guanzhong. He is engaged in antique business.”

 “Did you say who his friends were?”

"No."

 “Does he have any relatives near Jinling?”

"No."

 Captain Fan answered in the affirmative.

 Zhang Yong was confused. Was it really being plotted against?

No way?

 Just a Tomb Guard soldier.

 Honestly speaking, this tomb guard is completely part of the etiquette.

 They have no rights. You can't even leave Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. All the disputes outside have nothing to do with them. So, who would take their chances?

 Mostly it is a private matter.

 Zhang Yong still feels that losing a drawing is not a big deal...

"Report!"

 Suddenly, another guard arrived.

This time his face turned red. Clearly nervous. Covered in sweat.

"What's up?"

 “Chen Yongfu was killed.”

"What?"

“His body was found in the nearby village of Bafang.”

"What?"

 Zhang Yong was very depressed.

　　　It is true that God is against me!

 I originally hoped it would be a trivial matter. Go through the motions. As a result, the situation seems to be getting more and more serious?

　People died.

 Those who were killed.

 He was still killed at this time.

 Every idiot knows that there must be something fishy behind this matter.

However, Zhang Yong really couldn't figure out what the murderer wanted to do?

In order to steal a copy of the mausoleum blueprint, you want to kill someone?

Even if you want to rob a tomb, there is no need to kill anyone! Is your brain in trouble?

What’s more, there are no treasures stored in the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum itself. The mausoleum is also sealed with cement. How do you steal? Really get hundreds of kilograms of explosives?

 Besides, the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum has guards stationed 24 hours a day. Who is such a powerful tomb robber? have no choice. I had to go to Bafang Village to have a look.

 I was speechless all the way. Looking depressed. Hot and tired. My crotch was soaked. Standing in the sun, I feel like I will get heat stroke at any time.

 Completely unmotivated. The main thing is a forced business.

"Stop pretending."

Yang Lichu suddenly sneered.

 She had already seen that Zhang Yong did not want to take this job.

This guy is definitely a character who has no profit and cannot afford to be early. Want benefits in everything you do. I don't want to move if it doesn't do any good.

 There is obviously no benefit in tracking down the mausoleum blueprints. At least so far, no one has promised a reward. So, this guy was lazy and worked hard from the beginning.

 Hum. If anyone says mission accomplished, there are five thousand dollars. Make sure he runs faster than a rabbit.

 What is a hot summer? Dare to go to the sea in winter!

"cut!"

 Zhang Yong gave her a roll of his eyes.

 I have not violated you. What are you nagging about?

 The other spies didn’t protest.

 Don't bother to pay attention to him.

 Go to Bafang Village.

 The surrounding area has been heavily guarded.

I accidentally saw Gu Bafeng. It turns out that this guy also came after hearing the news.

 Zhang Yong was confused, “What are you doing here?”

Gu Bafeng replied mysteriously: "I heard it is a big event. I will join in the fun. When the time comes, I will not have any credit, but I will also have hard work."

 Zhang Yong:…

 I really hope it's not a big deal.

 Survey the site.

 Chen Xingfu was hanged.

 Just in a desolate brick house. He was hung from the beam.

  It feels a bit like showing off to others. Otherwise, it won't be handled this way. As if he was afraid that someone wouldn't know. What's weird is that there is a Bagua formation below.

 That’s right. It is a Bagua array made of wood pieces.

 Wood chips are black and almost the same size and shape.

 Although it was daytime, Zhang Yong felt a little creepy. Why does this look like a horror movie?

 I am obviously a spy movie, right? It's like it's going to be haunted.

 How dare there be a ghost in broad daylight?

 The people around were also looking at the Bagua array curiously.

 Fortunately there are many people. There are also many guns. Otherwise, it would be a bit uneasy. Those black wood chips are weird.

 Gu Bafeng squatted down. Pick up a wood chip. Smell it.

 “It’s a locust tree,” he said.

 “Huai…” Zhang Yong frowned.

 He doesn't like locust trees.

 Because this thing is said to be related to ghosts.

 Except for those near mausoleums, normal people would not plant locust trees around them.

 Gathering of Yin Qi will shorten one’s lifespan. It's a taboo.

 “Zhang Yong!”

 Gu Bafeng suddenly waved quietly.

 Zhang Yong walked over immediately. Walk to the side corner with him.

 “Speak directly if you have anything to say.”

 “I have a bad judgment.”

"What?"

 “Sophora bureau. Have you heard of it?”

 “What kind of agency?”

 “A Japanese spy agency. Specialized in tomb robbing. Selling treasures from tombs.”

 “To touch the gold captain?”

“Almost the same. But the division of labor is clear and the number of people is larger.”

"How did you know?"

“I caught a few tomb robbers by chance. They confessed that using locust trees to form a Bagua formation is an important symbol of the locust organ’s ability to transcend the souls of the dead.”

 “The Japanese also believe in these things?”

“Strictly speaking, someone from the Puppet Manchukuo State was involved. Not only did they want to rob the tomb, but they also wanted to destroy the feng shui of the tomb. Especially places with Han dragon veins, they would destroy it.”

"Why?"

“The Puppet Manchukuo has been dreaming of its restoration.”

"Yeah?"

 Zhang Yong feels very weird.

 Just rob a tomb, and then do it as a whole?

Grab robbers are just tomb robbers, and there is no need to talk about Feng Shui and dragon veins. pull. Let’s leave it to future generations, it’s all feudal superstition.

 This is dross! Must be abandoned!

 Shaking his head.

 Absolutely do not believe it.
