Chapter 38 Sure enough, you have always been here! (Ch 38)

Song’s house.
Master Hei Qi covered his chest: “Hiss~”
“Three hundred thousand!”
“It’s all in vain?”
Song Xiangu stared at the screen with a serious look, and said without turning her head: “My Song family will not owe you money.”
“Relax!”
Hei Qiye grinned: “Look at what you said, am I the kind of person who cares about money?”
“For Linglong, I wouldn’t even blink an eye at one million, not to mention three hundred thousand.”
“Even this Zhang Xuan doesn’t seem to be able to save Linglong.”
“What a pity…”
Song Xiangu’s face looked very ugly, but the stubbornness in her eyes was still there: “As long as there is a glimmer of hope…”
“It’s no pity!”
. . . . . . . . . . . .
Conference car.
Because the Warring States tomb was still being excavated, in addition to Yang Yuming, only Professor Chu and several of his staff members came to the Archaeological Institute.
However, with the addition of Qian Wei and several other people from the Security Bureau, as well as three associate professors from Yanbei.
There were more than ten people sitting at the conference table.
The notice they received was to cooperate with the investigation of international detective Kate Young, and they knew nothing about the destination of the train heading north.
Zhang Xuan’s live broadcast was being played on the conference TV.
This is the source of all their current investigative leads.
Professor Chu said to Qian Wei, who was watching the live broadcast studio attentively, “Captain Qian.”
“How long will Miss Yang be busy?”
Qian Wei glanced at his watch and said, “It should be soon.”
Professor Chu slowly leaned back in his chair: “Oh.”
“International Detective is really different.”
“Everyone, I, the old man, still don’t even know whether we are going to do archaeology or investigate a case.”
Everyone seemed to feel the same way and started joking around.
“It’s both archaeology and investigating a case!”
“Everyone, sorry for the wait!”
Just then, a capable female voice came from the back door.
“Thump, thump, thump~”
Everyone turned around and saw a short-haired woman wearing a black windbreaker, tall figure, with big black eyes shining sharply under gold-rimmed glasses, walking in with a stack of documents.
She just looked straight ahead, and after scanning everyone, her eyes finally landed on the TV.
“Captain Qian, please send this to everyone!”
Qian Wei took the documents and handed them out one by one.
Kate Yang pulled out a chair and sat down. While everyone was looking through the documents in their hands in confusion, she crossed her arms, rested her elbows on the conference table, and stared at the live broadcast screen: “In a few minutes, Zhang Xuan should be able to find a way to crack the chess game.”
Everyone who hadn’t understood the contents of the document suddenly looked up at her.
The expressions were surprisingly consistent.
It’s like looking at a weirdo.
“Ahem…”
“Ms. Yang is from abroad, so she speaks more directly. Please forgive me.”
Qian Wei felt a little embarrassed for Kate Yang.
Everyone at the scene laughed.
But Kate Yang seemed not to have heard it, and continued: “The document in your hand is a screenshot of the possible location of Li Chunfeng’s ancient tomb that I found on the satellite map.”
“There are seven locations in total, all on the route of this train.”
“Within an hour, Zhang Xuan should be able to find clues to open the door to the ancient tomb.”
“So we must determine the exact location of Li Chunfeng’s ancient tomb in the shortest possible time.”
“Even if we confirm it one minute later, the train will miss the station and we will lose more than two hours.”
The scene was silent.
Qian Wei looked at her in shock: “Ms. Yang’s words are really shocking.”
He tilted his head and lowered his voice: “Everyone here is an expert professor, so don’t be too confident.”
Professor Chu really spoke up: “Before Miss Yang came, I was watching the live broadcast.”
“The bronze chessboard is obviously a very powerful mechanism.”
“So many people died up there.”
“It’s absolutely impossible to crack it in just a few minutes.”
“As for the main gate, there is no way to talk about it.”
“We still have plenty of time.”
A voice of agreement was heard.
Qian Wei noticed the subtle change in the atmosphere and couldn’t help but wink at Yang Yuming, but Yang Yuming shrugged and showed an expectant expression.
really!
Kate Young doesn’t seem to be pampered by these scholars and professors.
He just adjusted the frame of his glasses on his tall nose and said, “I have found a way to crack it.”
“Why can’t Zhang Xuan?”
Professor Chu and others’ eyes widened instantly.
. . . . . . . . . . . . .
In the live broadcast room.
A scene occurred that surprised Zhang Xuan deeply.
I saw a dense crowd of human-faced spiders crawling out of the hole under the chessboard. They crowded in front of the round jade stone emitting blue light as if they were worshipping.
“What about the others?”
He frowned.
According to his speculation, the next step would be to make the black move.
This also means that the person who can break the impasse he has been waiting for is about to appear.
But now the chess-playing spiders have a meeting.
The black spots are gone too!
“……….”
“Is the game over?”
After thinking for a moment, an idea suddenly popped into his mind, which surprised him.
But there is clearly only Zhou Cheng on the chessboard!
Song Linglong’s anxious voice was heard: “These spiders are having a celebration party!”
“Brother Xuan, have you thought of a solution?”
He blinked: “Almost there!”
Song Linglong: “How fast?”
Zhang Xuan: “Tell the guy opposite you to connect with me!”
Song Linglong: “Ah?”
“But he…”
Zhang Xuan frowned: “Hurry!”
“Time is running out.”
Song Linglong’s voice came from the live broadcast room: “Hey, that guy!”
“Brother Xuan, let me ask you to connect with him!”
Zhou Cheng’s voice came quickly: “Okay, I’ll try!”
The audience in the live broadcast room immediately became excited.
These are two bronze chessboards. They only saw the Changshengjie on the opposite side, but knew nothing about the chess game on the opposite side.
The solution to break the deadlock may really be in the opponent’s chess game.
really!
After waiting for about two minutes, the connection request of the Snow White Rabbit popped up.
Click Accept Connection.
A blurry face suddenly flashed past the camera.
“Double click to flip the camera!”
“I want to see the other side of the chessboard!”
Zhang Xuan looked serious.
Zhou Cheng seemed to be frightened by Zhang Xuan’s tone, and turned the camera around, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
An identical bronze chessboard appeared on the screen.
Not only the chessboard, but also each chess piece fits perfectly.
Even the position of the cute little girl holding her phone opposite is a mirror image of the big white rabbit!
“Hiss~”
Even Zhang Xuan couldn’t help but take a deep breath!
The audience in the live broadcast room exclaimed!
Perhaps they thought of many possibilities, but they did not expect that the two chessboards would be exactly the same!
“Wait~”
“Why are they exactly the same?”
Song Linglong’s shocked voice came.
Zhou Cheng seemed to be confused all the time.
Zhang Xuan blinked, seeming to be thinking.
After a moment, he said to Zhou Cheng who was connected to him, “Do you have a flashlight?”
Zhou Cheng: “Yes.”
Zhang Xuan: “Very good!”
“Look towards the opposite side and take a clearer picture.”
Zhou Cheng: “But…”
Zhang Xuan frowned: “But what?”
Zhou Cheng: “Okay!”
Zhang Xuan sat up straight, his dark eyes flickering: “Little cutie, turn off the lights!”
Song Linglong: “Yeah!”
“Click.”
Instantly, the images in both cameras went black.
It seemed that everything had quieted down.
“Click.”
Zhang Xuan: “The same brand of flashlight?”
“Um?”
The lights come on.
His eyes suddenly widened!
The live broadcast room was also filled with exclamation marks and words like “WTF”!
I saw white light illuminating the deep chessboard!
On the chessboard two or several squares away from Song Linglong, a row of expressionless and vivid faces were staring at the camera in Zhou Cheng’s hand!
