Chapter 140: Time, Visit, Surprise, Hope!
After Commander Wei and Minister Zhang went out, they went straight to Chu Jian's office.
However, when they arrived at the door, they found that Chu Jian's office door was open.
He was sitting inside, as if he was waiting for the two of them to arrive.
Commander Wei frowned, walked into the office, looked at Chu Jian, opened the door and asked:
"Captain Chu, where are the members of the 543 exploration team now? -"
Chu Jian didn't show any surprise when he saw Commander Wei's arrival.
He stood up, saluted according to the rules, and then replied:
"Both chiefs, the team members are about to leave confinement. I hope that the two chiefs will wait patiently for a while."
This is indeed the case. Zhang Qilin and others originally planned to leave the customs in just one day.
It was all because I had gained a lot of insights and blessings, so I neglected time during the retreat, but I should be out of retreat soon.
But what Chu Jian said exactly echoed what Commander Wei said before arriving.
"Captain Chu, we have been waiting and waiting, but we haven't seen these team members for a long time. Could it be that we don't want to cooperate with the investigation?"
Facing Minister Zhang’s inquiry, Chu Jian smiled and shook his head:
"The two chiefs are serious. I am willing to cooperate with all investigations, but there were some minor incidents.
Please ask the two leaders to be more patient, they will not take too long. "
Chu Jian's words further confirmed Commander Wei's previous guess.
He felt that Chu Jian was looking for a reason and deliberately did not want them to come into contact with these team members.
Why do you have such thoughts? Is it because there is something wrong in your heart?
If they cannot see the light, they will naturally be afraid of team members meeting them.
For a moment, the expressions of the two chiefs were a little complicated. Commander Wei's expression became much colder. He looked at Chu Jian, sighed, and said:
"Captain Chu, I can give you time, but I can only give you one more day at most.
This matter can't go on like this, and I can't stay in the Kunlun Security Area forever.
If you can't meet these players by then, you need to give me a convincing explanation. "
Chu Jian saw Commander Wei's serious attitude and was not surprised.
But he also knew that according to the current progress of Zhang Qilin and the others, it would be too hasty to leave the customs today, but waiting one more day should be enough.
So after thinking for a while, Chu Jian looked at Commander Wei and said:
"Chief, one day is enough.
During this period, you can investigate all other matters and I will fully cooperate.
Commander Wei looked at Chu Jian deeply for a few times. After a moment of silence, he looked at Chu Jian, his tone was full of helplessness, and he said:
"Captain Chu, because there are too many doubts in the matters you are involved in, the results of this investigation have been inconclusive.
This has a big impact on you, and I believe you know it well.
Again, I can give you one more day, but I hope you won't let me down again. "
The atmosphere in the room suddenly solidified again.
Commander Wei looked straight at Chu Jian. Obviously, this was the last time Commander Wei showed mercy to Chu Jian, and it was also the last chance he got for Chu Jian.
After all, he is the commander of the provincial military headquarters, so he cannot stay stuck in this matter.
Moreover, the later it is delayed, the more suspicious the war zone will be, and it will be even more disadvantageous for Chu Jian.
Chu Jian did not give in at all, looking at Commander Wei calmly, obviously still firm in his attitude.
Minister Zhang saw this and felt a little anxious. He didn't want to see the situation become so tense.
But now Commander Wei is speaking in person, and even if he wants to say something, he really can't.
Da da da--
At this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps in the corridor, and Wang Zhiguo hurriedly appeared at the door of the office.
As soon as he entered, he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere here. His heart sank and he quickly walked into the house:
"Two chiefs, I didn't know you were here..."
Seeing Wang Zhiguo, Commander Wei's expression softened a little.
Chu Jian also looked over and asked:
"What's wrong, Political Commissar Wang? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Wang Zhiguo immediately looked at Chu Jian, pointed out the window and said:
"Captain Chu, someone is looking for you at the door!"
"Find me?"
Chu Jian frowned in confusion. He didn't expect anyone to come to him at this time.
Seemingly seeing Chu Jian's doubts, Wang Zhiguo continued:
"It's from the Beijing Archaeological Research Institute, and Director Zhao is here in person!"
"Which Dean Zhao?"
Commander Wei, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke, even a little surprised.
Wang Zhiguo quickly replied:
"The leader is Director Zhao Qiran of the Beijing Archaeological Research Institute.
"What? Dean Zhao is here?"
Minister Zhang glanced at Commander Wei in surprise:
"This Dean Zhao is an authority in the archaeological community today, and he has made great achievements in archaeology.
I even heard that the superiors are studying a lifetime achievement award for Dean Yue Ziran!"
Commander Wei glanced at Chu Jian with some confusion:
"Captain Chu, have you ever interacted with Dean Zhao Qiran?"
Chu Jian shook his head blankly:
"I do not know him……..."
Commander Wei was even more puzzled now, why would such an authoritative professor suddenly come for a replacement sword?
Looking at a few people, Wang Zhiguo asked with some uncertainty:
"Chief, do you want to invite Dean Zhao Qiran to come in?"
After hearing this, Commander Wei came back to his senses and immediately said anxiously:
"Of course, Dean Zhao is here in person, but you must not neglect it. Please come in quickly!"
It is not difficult to see from Commander Wei's attitude that he respects Zhao Qiran from the bottom of his heart.
Moreover, although the two of them belong to different official systems, Dean Zhao's position is not low and belongs to the main hall level. Coupled with the specialness and uniqueness of the Archaeological Institute, his authority is much higher than that of the main hall.
As the commander of the provincial military region, when the other party comes to visit, naturally he cannot neglect it.
After receiving the order, Wang Zhiguo immediately hurriedly left the office again. Not long after, the footsteps of several people came from the back corridor.
"Director Zhao, Commander Chu are in the office, as well as Commander Wei and Minister Zhang from the provincial military region..."
The voices sounded from far away to near, and soon Wang Zhiguo brought Zhao Qizhuang and Liu Hecheng into the office.
Seeing Zhao Qiran, Commander Wei immediately stepped forward with a smile and held his hand:
"Hello, Dean Zhao, I am Wei Tianqi, Commander of the Provincial Military Region, and this is Zhang Zhuo, Minister of Strategy."
Zhao Qiran obviously did not expect that he would meet people from the provincial military region here.
But he quickly reacted, thinking he was here to investigate?
He responded with a smile:
"Hello, Commander Wei, and hello, Minister Zhang. I didn't expect that we would meet here. We have known each other for a long time."
Chu Jian stood there without moving. He looked at Zhao Qiran not far away, and kept recalling what interactions he had with him.
But after much deliberation, Chu Jian couldn't figure out why a dean like Zhao Qiran, who was far away from the capital, came here?
Wang Zhiguo quickly introduced Chu Jian to Zhao Qiran:
"Dean Zhao, this is the head of the Kunlun Mountain Security Area, Captain Chu Jian, that you are looking for.
0……Please give me flowers…………
Hearing this, Zhao Qiran immediately shifted his attention from Commander Wei and Minister Zhang to Chu Jian. His eyes suddenly lit up and he said politely:
"I didn't expect that the head of the Kunlun Mountain Security Area would be so young."
Chu Jian smiled politely:
"Dean Zhao, the capital is not close to here.
What's the matter with you coming here so hard?"
Faced with Chu Jian's straight to the point, Zhao Qiran simply didn't make any detours:
"Captain Chu, I have to ask something first. Is the 543 exploration team your team here?"
Chu Jian obviously felt some differences, but quickly nodded:
"Yes, this team was formed within our regiment."
Hearing this, Zhao Qiran's eyes clearly flashed with surprise. 543 was actually a team formed within the army.
But at this time, Zhao Qiran is still not sure whether the 543 exploration team is related to the Xiangjiang incident.
Therefore, the cautious Zhao Qiran asked tentatively:
"Captain Chu, I just came back from Xiangjiang.
Have you heard about what happened in Xiangjiang? People say that strange phenomena occur in the sea, and even sudden shipwrecks cause serious losses to the army of Great Britain.
And I heard that there is a secret hidden in the sea..."
Speaking of this, Zhao Qiran observed Chu Jian's reaction.
He knew that if he found the right person, Chu Jian would definitely know what he was going to say.
And if he doesn't know, there's no need to talk in detail, because the 543 exploration team should just be famous.
But what he didn't expect was that, instead of being surprised after hearing this, Chu Jian shook his head and said with a smile:
"Dean Zhao, the secret you are talking about is the Beihai ruins, right?"
In an instant, Zhao Qiran was stunned. At this time, a storm surged in his heart.
At this moment, he could be sure that the 543 exploration team in the Kunlun Guard Area was the 543 on the stone tablet!
Otherwise, Chu Jian would never know about the collapse of Beihai!
The next second, Zhao Qiran immediately smiled, stepped forward and held Chu Jian's hand, feeling a little excited.
Commander Wei and Minister Zhang, who saw this in their eyes, looked at each other, obviously confused about the situation in front of them.
Dean Zhao Qiran came in person, but he came for the 543 exploration team?
"It's rare. It's really rare that a commander who can form such an excellent team is so young.
It’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance..."
After hearing this, the two of them became even more puzzled. Dean Zhao Qiran actually spoke so highly of the 543 exploration team.
But what makes Commander Wei feel strange is, where did Zhao Qiran learn about the 543 exploration team?
And it is not difficult to tell from his tone that he seems to have some understanding of this exploration team.
To be honest, even Chu Jian didn't understand it at this time.
A dean from the capital suddenly came to visit, and judging from the attitude of Commander Wei and others, it seemed that he was a very respected person.
And this dean turned out to be here for the 543 exploration team, and he seemed to recognize this team very much.
What exactly is going on?
Almost everyone in this office felt confused and confused because of Zhao Qiran's sudden visit.
Especially Commander Wei and Minister Zhang.
The two of them had never seen the 543 exploration team since arriving in this security area.
Why does the director of the Institute of Archeology, who is far away in the capital, seem to be more familiar to him?
Just when a few people were confused, what Zhao Qiran said next made them even more stunned:
"Captain Chu, the 543 exploration team is China's hope for the future, Ah Fan!".
