The shooting in Moresby still attracted the attention of the police.
Two British people died in the suburbs of the capital. This was a huge and shocking case.
But unfortunately, this area is not within the scope of surveillance at all, and the two parties chose such a remote suburb in order to keep the transaction concealed.
By the time the police arrived, the murderer had already fled.
After escaping from the scene, Lu Qingliu put on simple makeup for Tang Songyuan and himself, dyeing his skin color to look like aboriginals.
Then he caught a bus on the side of the road and left Moresby.
In the afternoon, Lu Qingliu found an aboriginal village, and the two of them pretended to be tourists and settled in the village.
This aboriginal village is close to the sea. Its appearance is just like that of a primitive tribe. The residents live in thatched huts. The locals use canoes carved from a giant tree to go out to sea to make a living. However, there are not even basic roads, which makes it look extremely ugly. behind.
The aboriginal people were not very hospitable. After Lu Qingliu spent almost five hundred US dollars in local currency, they were able to stay temporarily in a thatched hut.
The thatched house is not big, but it is seven or eight square meters.
Lu Qingliu contacted Xiang Xiang using the satellite phone he found on his body, and then said to Tang Songyuan: "We have to wait here for at least two days before leaving by sea."
From the sea? Could it be a helicopter again?
Tang Songyuan was thinking in his heart, but Lu Qingliu opened the code box, took out the Nine Dragons Sword and observed it.
Suddenly she said: "You are very skilled. After this is completed, have you considered joining us?"
Tang Song Yuanzheng looked at the Nine Dragon Sword in her hand curiously, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said:
"No, this time it's just a coincidence. Why are you still thinking about my hundred pounds? I hope you can take me to find iron meteorites as soon as possible."
Lu Qingliu took out the sword and carefully examined the sword body to see if there was any damage on it, and then said:
"I used to have an informant who was considered a non-staff member of ours. He had an iron meteorite in his hand. I had seen it at his place before..."
Tang Songyuan asked excitedly: "Where is he? How big is that meteorite?"
Lu Qingliu calmly inserted the sword back and said: "Four kilograms are definitely available, and the place is in Los Angeles."
"Ah~!"
Tang Songyuan frowned and said, "I thought it was in China. Los Angeles is so far away. Do I have to fly to the West to complete the deal with him?"
Lu Qingliu said: "It's not impossible, or you can ask him to mail it to you."
Tang Songyuan curled his lips in frustration and said, "Forget it, let's wait until we leave here."
Three days later at night, the two packed their bags and rushed to the beach to wait.
Nearing the agreed time, Lu Qingliu lit a bonfire.
About ten minutes later, a speedboat sped towards them.
Lu Qingliu checked the secret code with the other party, and after confirming his identity, he took Tang Songyuan on board the speedboat, and then the speedboat drew a beautiful arc on the sea and left quickly in the direction it came from.
The speedboat drivers were two men in civilian clothes, and they looked young.
Tang Songyuan noticed their short hair and had a guess in his mind.
The speedboat was very fast. After more than an hour of speeding, it brought Lu Qingliu and Tang Songyuan to a huge sea fortress.
This damn thing turned out to be a huge warship!
Forgive Tang Songyuan for his lack of experience. This was really his first time seeing the real thing, but he didn't expect it to be so big.
"Welcome to Ship 108, I am Geng Pingbo, the captain of Ship 108!"
After boarding the ship, an officer with two cents and four stars on his shoulders greeted him warmly.
Lu Qingliu held the suitcase in one hand and shook his hand with the other: "Thank you for your help, Colonel Geng!"
After a brief exchange of greetings, Geng Pingbo arranged different independent cabins for them, and specifically ordered no one to disturb them.
After another two days of sailing, Ship 108 docked on a small island.
The two took a plane on the island, and when they landed again, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.
"Finally back to the Magic City..." After getting off the plane, Tang Songyuan took a deep breath and sighed.
At this time, a man came over and said to Lu Qingliu: "Team Leader Lu, the minister is waiting for you inside!"
Lu Qingliu held the box, nodded and said: "Lead the way!"
The two of them followed him into the office area of the airport. In an office, Tang Songyuan met Lu Qingliu's 'minister'.
He was probably in his fifties, with a Chinese-character face. He looked energetic, but his hair was a little sparse.
In addition, there are two very old but elegant old men.
In fact, these two people are the former director and deputy director of the Palace Museum, and are also the honorary presidents of the Beijing Antiques Association.
One is called Chu Shiji and the other is Zuo Mingyuan.
"Hello, Minister, Lu Qingliu has been ordered to return to the team!" Lu Qingliu stood at attention and saluted.
The minister looked at her with a look that seemed to blame and care, and said, "We'll talk about your business later. Just bring the things..."
Lu Qingliu took a few steps forward, put the box in his hand on the table, then opened it and said: "Nine Dragon Sword, intact!"
As soon as the box was opened, the old man who had been sitting there motionless suddenly became excited.
Chu Shiji's eyes even flashed with tears. He stood up tremblingly and wanted to reach out but hesitated.
Zuo Mingyuan looked similar, and murmured: "The Nine Dragons Sword, this is really the Nine Dragons Sword... It has been seventy years, and it has finally seen the light of day..."
The minister coughed slightly and asked: "Mr. Chu, Mr. Zuo, would you two confirm again?"
Chu Shiji finally restrained his inner excitement and gently picked up the Nine Dragons Sword in the box, as if holding the most precious treasure, for fear that it would melt in his hands.
He said with absolute certainty: "You can't be wrong!"
He brushed one hand over the beautifully decorated scabbard, the rubies, sapphires and diamonds inlaid on it, and the nine lifelike golden dragons.
Then he drew out his sword, and with a flash of cold light, the room seemed a little brighter.
He took out a magnifying glass from somewhere and looked closer.
Zuo Mingyuan nodded with great relief and said: "I can see the Nine Dragon Sword appear in this life, and I can die in peace."
"Very good!"
The minister clapped his hands excitedly, turned to look at Lu Qingliu and Tang Songyuan and said, "You two have made great achievements in recovering the Nine Dragon Sword. This is Tang Songyuan, right?"
Tang Songyuan greeted with a smile: "Hello, Minister!"
The minister nodded with a smile and said, "Come with me."
With that said, he took Tang Songyuan and Lu Qingliu to an office nearby. Seeing Lu Qingliu close the door, he said again:
"You did a good job this time. Qingliu will write me a detailed report later..."
Then he looked at Tang Song Yuan and said: "Due to some special reasons, Mr. Tang's achievements in helping us this time cannot be made public, so we can only provide Mr. Tang with certain material and spiritual rewards."
Tang Songyuan noticed the words "sure" and "spiritual reward" and was a little disapproving. He smiled and said:
"Team Leader Lu promised me additional conditions..."
The minister smiled and said: "This is not a conflict. In this case, you go back first, and I will ask Qingliu to bring you the reward later."
Tang Songyuan stood up and left. The minister's face darkened. He looked at Lu Qingliu and said, "Go back and write an inspection about your unauthorized actions and hand it in together with the mission report!"
