Chapter 260 Sacrifice
Qin Yi remained calm and sneered:
"What did you just yell?"
Meng Chengfeng said anxiously, "Almost six years ago, I heard you give a report at Beijing University. At that time, you were the commander of the Gale Company and went there as a representative of the troops to give a speech."
"My father's name is Meng Yanqing. He teaches archaeology at Beijing University. A few years ago, a Western Zhou tomb was excavated in the suburbs of Beijing. It was led by him and was even reported in the newspapers."
Qin Yi frowned and looked at him without saying anything.
Meng Chengfeng continued, "I know Wu Jiafu's sister, Wu Tong or Su Tong. I know she is definitely not Sister Lan from Yu Nan, so I guess you might be here for Master Peng! Now that I see you, I can be sure! Our goals are the same!"
Meng Chengfeng seemed eager to be honest, and took the initiative to continue without waiting for questions:
"Three years ago, my father was kidnapped by Peng Ye's people and threatened to work for them. My father refused to obey and died in a car accident! But they still didn't let my father go and slandered him for embezzling national cultural relics. We had no way to appeal. In the end, due to insufficient evidence, Peking University had to expel him. He devoted his whole life to archaeology, but he was still questioned and cursed before his death."
Meng Chengfeng's eyes were red and his face was grim. "I have been searching for three years and finally found Master Peng's whereabouts. I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid that I will not be able to clear my father's name. I am so close to meeting him! I can't let this go!"
"Captain Qin! Give me a chance! Give me a chance to avenge my father!"
Qin Yi looked at him and still said nothing.
"Captain Qin! Don't worry! Just give me a chance! No matter if I succeed in the end or not! I will never expose you! I wish you would tear him into pieces!"
Qin Yi finally spoke, and he said coldly:
"At Crow's Beak Rock, you almost killed Su Tong!"
Meng Chengfeng was stunned for a moment, then he reacted, "I, I didn't mean to harm her! Otherwise, I wouldn't have left the flashlight and the notebook behind!"
"Oh! Then why did you trick her into going down to the pit?"
Meng Chengfeng was talking incessantly just now, but now he was silent.
"Let me give you a chance! This is your sincerity!"
Qin Yi said coldly: "Meng Chengfeng! The charge of armed robbery in Hubei Province alone is enough to sentence you to death! From now on, you should reflect on yourself here! If your father is really wronged, we will clear it up for him!"
Qin Yi turned and left.
"Shengyuan Treasure!"
Meng Chengfeng finally shouted out four words.
Qin Yi stopped and didn't look back.
"Xu Zhigao, the founding emperor of the Southern Tang, abolished the Southern Wu and established the Great Qi, with the reign title Shengyuan. Three years after the founding of the country, he restored the surname Li and changed the country's name to Tang, which was later called the Southern Tang. The world only knows about the Southern Tang, but few people know about the Great Qi, and no one knows that the reason why Xu Zhigao was able to abolish the Southern Wu was because he possessed an all-encompassing and immeasurable treasure!"
"It only took one tenth of this treasure to destroy Southern Wu... My father has been studying Da Qi for nearly ten years..."
Meng Chengfeng's voice became lower and lower.
Qin Yi turned around and asked, "So, what does this treasure have to do with you tricking Su Tong into going down the pit?"
Meng Chengfeng didn't say anything else.
He couldn't find an excuse for the moment, and any ordinary excuse couldn't deceive Qin Yi.
Qin Yi said coldly: "So, you are still trying to win my trust, and then find a chance to come back to Su Tong and get the copper coin back!"
Meng Chengfeng was startled and suddenly looked up at Qin Yi.
"Y-you know it!"
"Meng Chengfeng, your credit with me has run out! No need to talk anymore!"
"That's my only chance to get close to Master Peng!" Meng Chengfeng roared.
"'Da Qi Tong Bao' - there are only two in existence. One was auctioned off by an American. The other one is on Su Tong's needle bag! That is the only key to unlock the treasure!"
Qin Yi looked at Meng Chengfeng quietly for a moment, then said:
"Thank you for telling me! If what you said is true, I should be able to help you fulfill your wish! Master Peng deserved to die long ago!"
Qin Yi turned and left.
"I can help you catch the black kite!"
Qin Yi did not stop.
"Xu Yuzhen——"
Meng Chengfeng called out a name!
Qin Yi paused and finally turned around. Meng Chengfeng was already in tears.
"Xu Yuzhen is my grandmother! I swear on her honor! I will never have any inappropriate thoughts again! I will cooperate with you! Please, please give me a chance!"
Xu Yuzhen, a national model worker from Beijing, lived a simple and hardworking life. Although she was just an ordinary old lady, she was a role model that people all over the country were eager to learn from and emulate.
"I never dare to mention her. I am too ashamed to mention her. I am the only stain on our family. I feel sorry for my mother and even more sorry for my grandmother. But I have no way out! This is the only wish I have to live on! Please give me a chance! If I am lucky enough to survive, I will definitely surrender to you."
——————
The second day after arriving in Xiaoya Village was the 23rd day of the first lunar month.
In order to prevent any further complications, Qin Yi asked Li Song and others to bring the pottery shards to Lao Wan to complete the task early in the morning.
Lao Wan smiled and handed them a brass lock with a key, saying:
"Congratulations on becoming the second team to collect all the pottery fragments."
"Oh! I wonder who will be the first one?"
"Ma Ye's men from Shaanxi Province came to deliver their mission at daybreak."
On the way back, Zhou Jin muttered quietly:
"They got three of the five pieces of pottery from us. They are more enthusiastic about completing the task than we are!"
Li Song said: "That Mr. Ma is temporarily allied with us. It is better for them to pass than for others to pass."
After receiving the bronze lock, the previous stage of the task came to an end. All we had to do was wait until the 25th day of the first lunar month and go with Lao Wan to see Master Peng.
Because there is still one day until the task deadline tomorrow.
They just had one day to rest and take a closer look at the matters related to the Gale Company.
However, before long, Peng Zhi sent someone to deliver the news.
A body was found in Nan Ge Village, only two kilometers away from Xiaoya Village, and they were asked to go and check it out.
Qin Yi's expression froze, and he immediately asked Cheng Gang, Rao Jiancheng and Lin Li to go over to identify it.
Two hours later, several people came back with serious expressions and brought back a nameplate.
A nameplate specially made for the Gale Company.
It says “0301zhangzili” on it.
Comrade Zhang Zili from Class 1, Platoon 3.
Qin Yi took the nameplate solemnly and placed it upright on the table. Everyone took off their hats and saluted.
The atmosphere is solemn.
Before joining the special operations team, Qin Yi served as the company commander of the Gale Company and was very familiar with the organization of the Gale Company.
Most of the people in the third platoon are responsible for security and defense work, and they mostly go in and out of high-level formal places, so they will not take off their nameplates when they go on missions.
If you are on a disguise mission or entering a special place where there are targets to be arrested, it is absolutely impossible for you to have any identity-related identification on your body.
This is basic common sense.
The fact that Comrade Zhang Zili died in this area with a nameplate on his body just proves that he entered Xiaoya Village without knowing it.
He didn't know that there were many gangs here and a huge storm was brewing.
It also confirmed that
The missing Professor Zhai Changyu and Lin Jiao are most likely also in Xiaoya Village.
The woman captured by Mr. Peng——
It’s most likely Lin Jiao.
