When they arrived at He Xiangguo's office, Guo Ming spoke first before He Xiangguo started introducing the task.
"What did we find out last time we were attacked?"
He Xiangguo knew what she was asking and said with a smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, my mission this time is related to the last attack on you."
"Do you still remember Jiang Jiu whom you helped arrest in Country M last time?"
"He hasn't spoken since he was arrested. We tried our best, but we couldn't pry his mouth open. He has been frozen here."
"Half a month ago, the murderer with a broken jaw was handed over to us because we could not find out his background and there was no breakthrough. But we have always suspected that their assassination was related to the mission you performed last time. So I brought Jiang Jiu over to recognize him. This time, he was willing to speak."
"As far as we know now, the murderer is the same group of people who instigated Jiang Jiu. Last time they attacked you, we suspect that a large part of it was because they wanted to kidnap you and use it to achieve their own goals. Why? So sure, because the place where you are attending the banquet is a very ideal sniper spot. If I want to kill you, I only need a gun, and there is no need to assassinate you in person."
"So, the possibility of capturing you alive is very high."
"As for what other intentions they have after kidnapping you, we don't know. However, the relatively good news at present is that Jiang Jiu is willing to provide the information he knows and testify in court, so the person who assassinated you and The person behind it will be caught soon!"
"Okay, I can participate in the arrest."
"No, no, no, we haven't reached that point yet. At present, Jiang Jiu has made a request. If he wants his cooperation, the prerequisite is that he must see his sister safe and sound and protected by us."
"Um?"
"We also just learned that he also has a sister. According to him, after the main messenger behind him asked him to flee abroad, he began to arrange for people to assassinate him. He could have left, but because of the agreement with his sister He contacted him every day, so no matter what, he had to return to the hotel and use the hotel phone to report that he was safe. He did not want to say more about how he contacted his sister, but he said that the person behind the scenes did not know that he had a sister. Now Seeing that you were attacked, he was a little scared. If it is as he guessed, those people originally wanted to kidnap you in exchange for his words, but now they will definitely think of other ways to prevent him from talking. "
He Xiangguo paused and continued: "The existence of his sister may be discovered by then."
Guo Ming said nothing.
"Where your friend is, we will follow up and protect him to avoid another accident. As for bringing his sister here, we need your help to bring her here."
"Why me?"
"Because..." He Xiangguo paused, as if he didn't know how to speak. After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth and said it: "You have a clean background and are very safe."
Guo Ming understood instantly. Since Jiang Jiu is so important, the other party will definitely try their best to put spies around him. And I, as a time traveler, would never be used to do this.
Haha, spies can indeed be found everywhere!
He Xiangguo didn't know the specific contact information, so he could only ask Guo Ming to go to the reception room to meet Jiang Jiu for detailed discussions.
Recalling that I met Jiang Jiu for just a brief moment, the thin, fair-skinned young man could not be connected with the decadent man with a beard in front of him. I saw him sitting in a wheelchair, extremely thin, with both cheeks sunken. It looked like a skeleton covered with a layer of skin and then a layer of stubble.
Jiang Jiu's hands couldn't work hard, so the caregiver helped push him to the table, then closed the door and went out.
Across the table, Jiang Jiu saw that the person opposite was Guo Ming. Jiang Jiu's hands trembled and the fire in his eyes suddenly dimmed, but he didn't know what he thought of and dimmed again.
"You will help me bring my sister here, right?" Jiang Jiu asked hoarsely.
"right."
"Do you know Morse code?"
"what?"
“Where’s the fence casting?”
"ah?"
"I understand. Just go to the third and fifth classes of the second middle school in P Town, T City, to find a girl named Jiang Yunyun, and tell her, 'The water flows eastward, day and night,' and she will reply to you, 'Fangxin comes full sleeves; Rhino horns are young and plump, if you match, she will trust you and go with you."
"Okay, I understand." Guo Ming didn't say anything. He recited those two sentences several times in front of his face, and then planned to leave.
"Hey~" Seeing that Guo Ming was about to leave, Jiang Jiu hurriedly called to her, as if she still had something to ask.
"Um?"
"My legs..."
"There's no cure." After Guo Ming finished speaking, he turned around and left.
The author has something to say:
The water spring flows eastward, day and night without stopping. It is taken from "Lu Spring and Autumn Annals". The first sentence means that the clouds are rising in the west, and the clouds are natural, and the winter and summer are endless.
These two lines, "Fragrance comes full sleeves; rhinoceros horns are young and plump" come from two poems, both followed by the word Qiongjiu.
Because it contains two people's names, it is used as a secret code for the connection.
Why didn't Guo Ming treat his leg? Nonsense, who asked him to break his ribs!
