I am a super cop

Chapter 2678: Stealing Hole
"Old Wang, you should be more careful. You are such a grown-up, but you can still get lost just by following others. Aren't you ashamed?"

Seeing that Comrade Lao Wang was fine, Lu Weiwei also sighed, thinking that it was good that he was fine, but she still couldn't help but teasing him.

Officer Wang said nonchalantly, "Isn't this a special situation? Who would have thought that the vegetation here is so dense."

"The plants here are indeed a bit strange. It's understandable that Officer Wang didn't follow us. Even the traces we left when we came here are hard to find among these plants."

"It seems that the plants here are a little different. Sometimes we still need to be careful. After all, it is not impossible for plants to eat people."

Gu Chen also joked, feeling that everyone was too nervous just now.

After hearing what Gu Chen said, Xu Enping also stood up and said, "Officer Gu is right. Some outdoor plants, especially those in the deep mountains that are isolated from the outside world all year round, can sometimes be very dangerous."

"These plants are isolated from the outside world, so in many cases, we have to be vigilant."

Turning his head to look at the skull, Xu Enping said, "Maybe this person got lost in the jungle and was trapped and died here. You'd better be careful."

"Yes, Brother Wang, don't lose us next time. We were scared to death just now." Yuan Shasha couldn't help but say jokingly.

"Okay, okay, the key point is who is this dead person? Moreover, there is only a skull, and there is no body skeleton."

"And I checked it. This is indeed a real skull, not a model."

"This shows that this person's head has moved, but why did it move? This is worth our deep consideration."

"Maybe he was murdered." Gu Chen observed the skull briefly and then said:
"It seems that the deceased has been dead for many years. He may have been buried in a coffin and then dug out by grave robbers, who took away his valuables and damaged his body."

"It will eventually lead to his head and body being separated."

As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Xu Enping quickly said, "Officer Gu, the situation you described does exist."

"Since there is a village in this mysterious place, birth, aging, sickness and death are inevitable."

"And if there are dead people, they must be buried, which means there must be a cemetery nearby."

"The outsiders who came here may have discovered the cemetery here, so they started to rob the tomb."

"Perhaps this is why someone came here but did not advertise it to the outside world. Perhaps they wanted to keep the treasures of the cemetery for themselves?"

"Is that so?" Seeing that Xu Enping's analysis seemed to make some sense, Officer Wang crossed his arms and said thoughtfully:

"So, the dead guide and Xu Yaxuan, who we need to find, may be involved in the treasure here."

"Otherwise, why would you come to a place like this for no reason?"

"Obviously, they all have a strong purpose, and the driving force is definitely money."

After a pause, Officer Wang continued, "If there really is a treasure here, that would be very interesting."

"What's so interesting about this? This kind of place is probably full of dangers. Tomb robbing? You won't even know how you died. In my opinion, that skull might belong to a tomb robber." Lu Weiwei still has her own unique insights.

This unique insight was quickly agreed by Gu Chen: "What Senior Sister Lu said is also possible."

"The situation now is that we found the skull here, which means that other parts of the deceased's body are still nearby."

"So, it's best to look for it now, maybe you'll find something."

"Yeah." Yuan Shasha nodded silently and agreed, "Brother Gu's words make sense. I think we should now carefully look for the place where Brother Wang found the skull."

"That's it." Seeing that everyone was of the same mind, Officer Wang said nothing more.

Then, Officer Wang led everyone to point out the area where he had just fallen.

Then, everyone began to look carefully for traces around.

Because we were afraid of being separated again, we had to keep seeing at least two companions during the search.

After searching for an unknown amount of time, Gu Chen suddenly discovered that there seemed to be some strange traces on a hillside not far away.

So Gu Chen quickly called his companions: "Everyone stop for a moment and come closer to me, I have found something here."

"Junior Brother Gu, what did you find?" Lu Weiwei hurried over and asked.

Gu Chen pointed to the earthen slope ahead and said, "The plants over there are a little sparse, but they are somewhat different from the natural growth situation. It feels like it has been renovated."

"Let's go and take a look." Xu Enping also frowned and took the lead.

Soon, everyone discovered the area that Gu Chen thought was abnormal.

And there are indeed signs of having been turned over.

"The plants on the soil are sparse, and it looks like someone has turned it over." As soon as Lu Weiwei finished speaking, she immediately began to dig with her hands.

Soon, everyone discovered that there was a sack behind the soil.

And there was actually a hole in the ground behind the sack.

"It's a robbery hole." Xu Enping took a look and immediately found something wrong.

"Senior Sister Lu, step back." Seeing this, Gu Chen quickly pulled Lu Weiwei behind him.

The sudden appearance of the tomb tunnel was full of uncertainty, so Gu Chen was afraid that there was danger inside, so he quickly pulled Lu Weiwei back.

"Oh my God, there really is a cemetery in a place like this?" Lu Weiwei was also scared. She felt that the moment she dug the tomb, a cool breath seemed to blow towards her.

Everyone gathered at the cave entrance and observed for a long time. Xu Enping also picked up a strong flashlight and shone it inside. He turned his head and looked at everyone and said:
"This place is a bit mysterious. The cave should be winding and the passage is narrow. Maybe only one person can pass through at a time, and they have to bend down to do it."

"I think there should be some mechanisms in there, right? Specially designed to deal with tomb robbers." Officer Wang suddenly fell into a big pit just now, and he felt like he was trapped in a trap.

So now I am a little bit nervous.

But it is always a good thing to be cautious, and Gu Chen agreed with Officer Wang's statement:

"There may really be a trap here, so it's better to be careful. Use the light to investigate first, then put your phone in and feel the way out."

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chen immediately took out a portable mini stand.

I originally brought this stand so that I could have something to support my phone when handling cases on site.

Now it seems that the decision to bring the stent was useful.

Gu Chen fixed his phone on the bracket, then stretched the bracket to form a selfie stick. He then turned on the camera function of the phone, adjusted the flash lighting, and then reached into the cave to start exploring the situation.

With the help of the mobile phone holder, Gu Chen's investigation went very smoothly.

When the cell phone was taken back, everyone gathered around immediately and found that the images in the video were all in the shape of earth pits, with no signs of mechanisms.

"It seems there is no entrance to the cave. I'll go in and try again." Gu Chen said.

"Brother Gu, be careful." Seeing that Gu Chen was about to venture in again, Lu Weiwei said with some concern.

But Gu Chen just smiled slightly and started to crawl towards the cave entrance.

Then use your mobile phone to take pictures and explore the way ahead.

Soon, Gu Chen entered the cave, but because the space was small, in order to facilitate Gu Chen to advance and retreat in time when encountering danger, everyone chose not to follow Gu Chen into the cave.

But even when Gu Chen disappeared at the entrance of the cave, Lu Weiwei was still very nervous, fearing that Gu Chen would be hurt.

But not long after, Gu Chen came out with his back hunched, backing away.

The moment he emerged from the cave, Gu Chen stood up, patted the dirt that had fallen on him, and said without hesitation:
"It looks like a real cemetery inside. It looks like tomb robbers have visited it."

"Are there really tomb robbers? I thought they were just talking." Seeing that the situation was true, Officer Wang was also a little surprised.

Xu Enping seemed calmer and said slowly: "If it is tomb robbery, then it is easy to understand. Those so-called guides came here, perhaps some of them were here to bring tomb robbers."

"Perhaps a long time ago, someone discovered the existence of a cemetery in this place, and it seemed isolated from the outside world, so they had evil ideas about the cemetery here."

After a pause, Xu Enping continued, "So, the skull just now, is it the owner's? Or the tomb robber's?"

"It's not clear yet. I have to go back and check again. I just came out to get some fresh air." Gu Chen spoke the truth and took a few deep breaths.

Then, Gu Chen picked up his phone and prepared to enter the cave again.

This time, Gu Chen took a deep breath outside, preparing to hold his breath and enter the cave.

Perhaps the inside of the cave is not ventilated, so the oxygen content is relatively low. Staying in such a cave for too long will lead to the risk of suffocation.

Therefore, when Gu Chen entered the cave for the first time, he did not stay too long, but chose to come out immediately after finding out the situation.

This time, he took a deep breath, and with his strong lung capacity, he thought he could stay in there a little longer.

Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha and Xu Enping stood outside and waited quietly.

Not long after, Gu Chen came out of the narrow cave again.

This time, Gu Chen also took deep breaths to make his breathing feel better.

"What's wrong, Junior Brother Gu?" Seeing this, Lu Weiwei asked with concern.

Gu Chen waved his hand and said without further explanation: "There may be some valuables buried with the dead, but they are all gone now. There are some severely rotten wooden boxes in there, but they are all empty."

"There are some old cloth bags inside, which are also empty. I was going to take them out just now, but some places are difficult to take, so I can only come out to take a breath."

"There really are burial objects?" Yuan Shasha exclaimed when she saw Gu Chen had made a major discovery.

A skull that Officer Wang picked up when he fell behind led everyone to discover this ancient tomb by accident.

It feels like a pleasant surprise.

After taking a breath, Gu Chen went into the cave again.

This time, he threw away the phone holder and went in bare hands.

Not long after, Gu Chen brought out the rotten wooden box and some old cloth bags.

"These things are all burial objects. I feel like they are not very old, maybe... only a few hundred years ago? Definitely one or two hundred years."

Xu Enping also gave a fair evaluation when he looked at the empty wooden box and the rotten cloth bags that Gu Chen brought out.

Gu Chen also nodded silently: "Yes, judging from these objects, it is indeed not long from now."

"Perhaps the tomb robbers found these things worthless and did not take them out, but took away the burial objects in the wooden box and the cloth bag."

"But now, there is nothing valuable inside, but there is a body missing its head."

"A corpse without a head? Isn't this the skull we found?" Yuan Shasha exclaimed after hearing Gu Chen's explanation.

Officer Wang nodded silently: "Now it seems that the skull I picked up is indeed a body in the cemetery, but the key is, if you want to rob a tomb, why do you have to bring out the skull of the deceased?"

"Is this thing really valuable? This is disrespectful to the dead."

Officer Wang also expressed his doubts.

After all, the cemetery here seems a little weird.

And it is now clear that tomb robbers have been here and carried out excavations here.

In the end, they stole the accompanying collections, but they were afraid that the cave would be discovered by others, so they covered the exit of the cave with linen, and finally covered it with a layer of soil and put some plants on it, thus concealing the existence of the entrance to the cemetery.

Gu Chen looked at the rotten wooden box and reminded Yuan Shasha, "Xiao Yuan, take pictures of these and do a good job of collecting evidence."

"I understand." Upon hearing Gu Chen say this, Yuan Shasha immediately took out a transparent evidence bag, took photos and packaged the evidence in one go.

On the other hand, Gu Chen did not stop looking for other ancient tombs. The surrounding terrain seemed to give Gu Chen endless imagination.

Due to the success in discovering the cave just now, Gu Chen clearly realized that tomb robbers have no bottom line.

Since they have dug up an ancient tomb, they must believe that there are other ancient tombs here.

So after stealing from one ancient tomb, they would inevitably look for the next one.

In this way, Gu Chen only needs to focus on checking areas with sparse vegetation, and perhaps he can find the entrance to the ancient tomb.

And God helps those who work hard. After Gu Chen's careful search, he soon found the same terrain as the previous entrance to the ancient tomb.

"There, there, and that area, there seems to be a possibility of an ancient tomb." Gu Chen said with a sharp gaze.
