MMB Chapter 143 The secret deep in the tomb
Chapter 143 The secret deep in the tomb
"I, I, I, that's me!" Cheng Zongwen confessed.
"Then let me ask you, what kind of person is your son-in-law?" Zhang Yang decided to verify it.
"I used to be a rich second-generation playboy, but like me, I changed my ways." Cheng Zongwen replied quickly.
The angle of this answer is indeed like that of Chen Yanguang's father-in-law.
Zhang Yang nodded: "Friend Bao, I do know this brother who is suspected of being a tomb robber."
"But I don't know if he dug your ancestral grave."
"I really didn't dig. I came to Bozhou to follow other tomb robbers... Wuwuwu..."
Cheng Zongwen still wanted to explain, but something seemed to be stuffed in his mouth and he couldn't speak.
But what he said at the end successfully caught Zhang Yang's attention.
He still vividly remembers the scene of Mr. Cheng stringing his finger bones together and wearing them around his neck.
This non-mainstream rich second generation seems to have a grudge against a group of tomb robbers.
Because the Cheng family and his son were under investigation, the wedding could not be held for a while, so he started his revenge in advance.
"Friend Bao, is that sock or something stuffing his mouth?"
"It's a carrot."
"Oh, pull it out first."
"What he said makes sense. Let's listen to his explanation."
Zhang Yang thought for a while and realized that the man named Cheng was kind to him. If he really didn't rob the tomb, he would be better off unjustly accusing him.
But just call the police directly. He is a man with a criminal record and even got into a robbery hole. He will probably have to go to the palace three times.
Let’s ask first.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, teacher." Baoyou followed suit.
Soon, Cheng Zongwen regained his language function. He argued: "The mobile phone in my pocket has ticket purchase records. I just came to Bozhou yesterday."
"Friend Bao, look at it, right?"
"If so, it doesn't mean anything!"
Baoyou muttered, but quickly gave the answer. Cheng Zongwen indeed arrived at the place yesterday.
In one day, an ancient tomb was locked, which was so terrifying.
"You came yesterday and went into the robber's cave today, do you still have to explain?" Zhang Yang asked.
"I didn't dig it, it was dug by Xiang Baotou and others. That Han tomb has been evacuated a long time ago. I just came to verify one thing."
The explanation given by Cheng Zongwen is:
He had just arrived, but the tomb was already empty.
There was no time to commit the crime and no stolen goods, so he could not be a tomb robber.
In addition, the traces of the robbery hole are obviously old, and the excavated tomb bricks are covered with moss.
"Friend Bao, your ancestral grave has been dug before, do you know?"
Zhang Yang already believed 50% of Cheng Zongwen's words.
Just take another look at the traces of the robbery and you will know that what he said is true or false.
"Damn it, the ancestral graves are really gone? I don't know this!"
"It has been gone for at least six or seven years. The hole was well covered up." Cheng Zongwen made up for it.
"What should we do now? Call the police?"
Baoyou was a little panicked and hoped that Zhang Yang would give him an idea.
But Cheng Zongwen's words instantly gave up the idea of calling the police.
"After calling the police, your ancestral grave will be rescued and excavated by the archaeological team."
"I saw some bones down there. If you want the bones of your ancestors to be displayed, then let them dig them up."
Baoyou was silent.
Zhang Yang was also scratching his head.
Things seem to have gotten awkward, and Baoyou himself is not happy about calling the police now.
In the end, it was the client who made his claim.
Baoyou asked Cheng Zongwen: "Then can you take me to collect the bones of my ancestors?"
"No problem, just let me make atonement for my sins."
Then, the two people naturally talked about going down to the robbery cave.
The entrance to the cave is too narrow, so there is no need to rush;
If the movement range is too large, there is a risk that the hole will collapse;
Don't be greedy when you enter the tomb, it's enough to bring out a little at a time...
The more Zhang Yang listened, the more he felt something was wrong.
He quickly asked: "Can it be broadcast live?"
…
Live broadcast, of course, is possible, but not the kind of live broadcast room.
Cheng Zongwen held a video conference.
At that time, a mobile phone can turn on the hotspot on the ground, and the mobile phone broadcasting the live broadcast will also have a signal underground.
After Zhang Yang entered the meeting, he thought about it and pulled Chen Yanguang in.
As a good friend, Zhang Yang would not allow him to miss this opportunity to see his future father-in-law "robbing graves".
As the heir to the ancestral tomb, Baoyou also brought someone along.
"The second eldest brother on the list?"
When Zhang Yang saw "Captain Chu", he was stunned.
Is this treasure friend still a fan of mine? Or was your home robbed?
Facing Zhang Yang's question, Xiao Chu explained that his private archaeological team has already become famous in the group.
This treasure friend is one of the members of their archaeological team developing in southern Anhui.
"There is Cao Cao's tomb in Bozhou, how come there isn't a permanent member of the team?" Captain Chu explained confidently.
"That's it. Then I'll have to recruit a treasure friend. He's my distant cousin and he's very knowledgeable about tombs."
Zhang Yang thought for a while and felt that it was necessary to calm down the situation personally.
Several other people heard that Master Zhang also had a cousin, and they were all surprised and happy.
The knowledge of treasure appraisal and tomb viewing is generally passed down from family to family.
"Cousin" and "has research on tombs", these two keywords indicate that he must be a master!
Soon, a man with a husky avatar joined the video conference.
"Welcome to my cousin, you can just call him Lao Liu." Zhang Yang said on the microphone during the meeting.
Lao Liu? Sixth child!
Outside the video conference, Zhang Yang quietly introduced the current situation to Captain Liu.
Ask him not to worry, and then talk after reading it.
The latter responded with a "cold fist" expression.
…
At around 7 o'clock in the evening, the four spectators were in place, and the two tomb-goers were also in place.
"Master Zhang, look at the terrain of his ancestral tomb."
In front of the camera, although Cheng Zongwen was a little dirty, he was very energetic and explained Feng Shui to Zhang Yang on the spot.
"Green dragon on the left, white tiger on the right, two mountains embracing each other..."
"This place is halfway up the mountain. I visited it during the day. It is on the sunny side and fits the characteristics of a Han Dynasty tomb."
Except for Zhang Yang, everyone else could only say "Yeah, yeah, yeah" to what he said.
Zhang Yang had studied it before. He asked Cheng Laoer: "Have you entered the tomb? What shape is it?"
"Lv-shaped double-chamber tomb."
"It should be from the late Eastern Han Dynasty, or even the Western Jin Dynasty." Zhang Yang analyzed.
"How was such a small tomb discovered?"
"Then I don't know. Exploring tombs has always been a unique skill for the leader." Cheng Zongwen said in a very honest tone: "I only know that the robbers dug directly into the main tomb chamber, on the lower right side."
"The funerary objects of this Lu-shaped tomb are basically placed there, and they hit Xiang Bao on the head very accurately..."
The conversation between Zhang Yang and Cheng Zongwen, coupled with the dark night sky and the deep cave, made the remaining people feel strange.
Chen Yanguang was the first to couldn't help himself and started chatting awkwardly:
"Master Zhang, aren't you also the leader?"
"Who is this leader?"
This question successfully silenced the situation. In the end, Cheng Zongwen pretended to cough and helped his uncle out.
"It's getting late, let's get started!"
Baoyou's mobile phone is placed outside the burglar's cave, and his big yellow dog is watching outside.
The two people entered the robbery cave one after the other.
The content at the beginning was a bit boring, except for the soil and the sound of them crawling.
But the long wait was worth it. Ten minutes later, at the end of the cave, everyone suddenly became cheerful.
The main burial chamber has arrived.
Zhang Yang followed the camera to see the whole view of the main tomb chamber and took a deep breath.
At the end of the Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, although the funeral culture was not very popular, there were still burial objects such as figurines for tombs, ceremonial guards for traveling, male and female servants (figurines), and kitchen utensils.
Now, there are only some broken pottery fragments left in the tomb chamber, as well as the empty coffin with the lid lifted off.
"Beast!" Baoyou howled a little uncomfortably.
Then I planned to start looking for the bones Cheng Zongwen mentioned in the tomb.
"Stop! Stop!"
Captain Liu couldn't stand this scene.
He has received systematic education on cultural relic protection and knows that it is best to let the archaeological team excavate such stolen ancient tombs, otherwise it will cause secondary damage.
"Is there something wrong, cousin?" Chen Yanguang asked.
The two people in the tomb also stopped moving.
Except for Zhang Yang, everyone thought of one thing - there was a mechanism in the tomb.
Otherwise Master Zhang’s cousin wouldn’t be so anxious.
"Cousin, you are too sensitive." Zhang Yang came out to take over the conversation: "No need to search blindly, Mr. Cheng, where are the bones you saw before?"
"Friend Bao, don't worry, this is not necessarily your ancestral tomb. Tombs within tombs are also very common."
Zhang Yang's words brought everyone's attention back to their original purpose of going to the tomb.
"Right here."
Cheng Zongwen took a few steps and picked up a calf bone from the ground.
"Show it and let me take a look."
Zhang Yang looked carefully.
"Name: Tibia (human)"
"..."
"Production date: 1983"
"..."
Seeing such information, he couldn't help but tremble.
This turned out to be the corpse of a certain person born in the 1980s.
It didn't take much thinking to figure out that it should be a tomb robber.
Unequal distribution of spoils, or the gangsters taking advantage of the gangsters? Anyway, it was given to people directly in the tomb.
Murder case!
Cheng Zongwen was able to enter the palace for the second time, so he still had some skills. This could lead to murder.
Zhang Yang thought for a while and felt that he still had to say it.
"Well, I have a question, let's talk about it for everyone."
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this white bone?" Xiao Chu asked.
"I have a question, but I want to ask Captain Liu. If a tomb robber is the kind who does all kinds of evil, he may have been trapped in a trap while robbing the tomb, or he may have been silenced by his accomplices, or he may even have a heart attack. Dead in a tomb.”
"Do you want to investigate this kind of case?"
Chen Yanguang/Xiao Chu/A certain treasure friend: "Captain Liu? Old Liu?"
Captain Liu: "What do you mean, there is a murder? I want to call the police... No, I want to report to my superiors!"
Cheng Zongwen: "Sure enough, someone died here!"
In the video conference, after a brief period of chaos, it was Xiao Chu who finally stabilized the situation.
As for why it was him, it was very simple, because he asked Captain Liu:
"Liu Jiade (Captain Liu's name), right? Don't rush to report this case yet."
"Chu... who are you?" Captain Liu was a little confused.
"He is a second-generation official, and his father may be your leader." Zhang Yang introduced briefly.
"No, none of my leaders have the surname Chu."
"Is there anyone named Shen?" Xiao Chu asked.
This time, it was Captain Liu's turn to not be calm.
Because he suddenly remembered that Zhang Yang received a certain banner because of a leader named Shen.
The world line converged on Captain Liu.
"What, brother, you are the leader's family member, so you should know the importance of this kind of murder, right?"
"A few decades ago, it would have been fine if you just closed your eyes, but now, with such advanced technology, it is very possible to solve the case."
"When the time comes, it may be involved in other cases. After all, tomb robbers can get their hands on everything."
"I don't completely agree with Captain Liu's point of view. Tomb robbers also have their own people." Cheng Zongwen interjected: "However, I firmly support solving the case!"
