Tang Sancheng, who was pinched for no reason, jumped up: "You are happy, pinch yourself, why pinch me?"

"Isn't it me who pinches me and hurts me?" Cong Yang said with a playful smile, "Okay, let's go, there must be nothing wrong with this stench."

Cong Yang walked at the front excitedly. There is a very narrow mountain road here. Although there are weeds on it, it can be said that someone had cultivated it before, but it was abandoned these years. Tang Sancheng followed behind Cong Yang, touching the road. Looking at the place where he was pinched just now, he greeted Cong Yang twice in his heart, but when he really saw the hole covered by vines, Tang Sancheng put aside the complaint just now, and couldn't wait to go in to find out. .

Cong Yang was the first to go in, and immediately followed the smell to find it. While walking, he muttered: "If I don't hit this time, I will jump from here!"

Cong Yang's heart skipped a beat afterward. The harder he spoke, the greater the risk. When he walked four or five meters in and found no corpse, Cong Yang had a bitter face. Fortunately, Xiao Shan had sharp eyes and saw Seeing a hand bone protruding from behind a stone: "Look, there!"

Cong Yang's face changed drastically: "I knew it was right. "

When the two brothers found the corpse, it was in a sitting posture, and it must have been moved behind to get the things under the corpse. When a group of people approached, Bai Yi first said: "Judging from the development of the skeleton, it is an adult Male, the degree of decay is quite high, and it seems to have been dead for a long time."

Fu Yu suddenly squatted down, picked up a branch and touched the man's throat: "He died of poisoning."

"How do you know?" Shen Bing asked curiously, "Everyone is like this."

"The larynx is black." Fu Yu said: "This is the most typical feature. He couldn't have committed suicide. A person who was about to commit suicide would do everything possible to hide some ancient coins. This is unreasonable. It seems that he I was also very surprised, so I improvised."

Bai Yi saw the scattered items the brothers mentioned. Apart from the items they mentioned, there was also a kettle, which was a military kettle. After unscrewing the lid of the kettle, Cong Yang frowned: "It tastes sour!"

Bai Yi smiled: "If it was poisoning, there would only be water or food. It seems that he may have companions who come out to fight. Almost no one fights alone, at least there are two people."

"Infighting?" Shen Bing cut out: "It's better for us, we will never have to worry about being stabbed from behind."

Liu Zhixi stared at the skeleton in a daze, Tang Sancheng asked him: "What's wrong? What's so good about this skeleton?"

"No, I thought of one thing." Liu Zhixi said: "You must not know it. In the late 90s, there was a famous tomb robber. Of course, that was after you. At that time, he even robbed They discovered ancient tombs from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods, and they have not been caught once."

"Then how do you know that the same person did it?" Xiao Shan said.

"This man is too crazy." Liu Zhixi said: "He said he is a descendant of Sang Jiuming, and this Sang Jiuming is also a powerful figure. In the Qing Dynasty, he was ordered to rob graves."

Sang nine lives!Bai Yi said: "I heard from my master that this person is related to the underground tomb we found in Changbai Mountain. He is indeed a capable person."

"Yes, under the banner of Sang Jiuming, this person is very ostentatious. The police were furious at the time and issued a reward for arrest, but they found nothing. In the 90s, rumors were flying all over the sky, saying that this person would fly over the wall, and some people said that he would be easy. So the police couldn’t catch him at all.” Liu Zhixi said: “This person’s surname is also Sang, Sangjie, I remember it very clearly, after all, Sang is a rare surname. Later, this person disappeared suddenly, like a star passing by. It was like a shooting star in the sky, and there was no trace of it anymore. The police tried their best for a while, but it seemed hopeless, and nothing happened.”

"After talking for a long time, do you think this person is the missing Sang Da?" Cong Yang shook his head again and again: "This is a bone. Although it is also inverted, it may not be that Sang Jie."

"No, it's more than that." Liu Zhixi said, "Look at the bones of its hand, are they different from ordinary people?"

"Six fingers." Bai Yi had already discovered it.

Ordinary people only have five fingers on their hands, but some people have six fingers on one hand. If Fu Yu can solve this, it is caused by physiological chromosomal variation, or acquired radiation, or genetics. , but Bai Yi didn't think about these things, but Liu Zhixi's words had loopholes: "The police couldn't catch him, so how do you know that Sangjie is Six Fingers?"

Liu Zhixi was stunned on the spot, and he sighed for a long time: "I have nothing to hide in front of you, I know him, and I am very familiar with him, I must have been poisoned by the Dao Dou, It’s just that I can’t get rid of the relationship. After he disappeared, I have been looking for him, no less than the police.”

No wonder I've been out of my mind since just now, Liu Zhixi said: "Also, I also recognize this backpack, but I haven't heard him mention the map. You say he has companions, but he really doesn't have one. He's a weird person. It’s always been a one-on-one fight.”

"It's the same as Sang Jiuming. Could it be that the Sang family is fighting alone?" Bai Yi said.

"Why did he die here, and was poisoned?" Liu Zhixi obviously identified that this person was Sang Jie, and he went to look through the backpack. The backpack had obviously been searched, and there were some food residues in it. , it was broken, and there was nothing in it. Liu Zhixi was about to put the backpack down, when he suddenly remembered that Sanjay had said before that, just in case, he had made a sandwich in his backpack. He turned the backpack over and touched it with his hands. wrote: "There is really a mezzanine."

"What is this?" Bai Yi asked.

"Sang Jie made the mezzanine." Liu Zhixi said: "Because he is fighting alone, and he once said that he was worried about something unexpected happening to him, so he will definitely leave a final message. Do you have a knife?"

"Yes." Xiao Shan took out his own knife and handed it over.

Liu Zhixi couldn't wait any longer, so he cut open the interlayer, and an envelope folded in half fell out. When Liu Zhixi saw the oiled paper envelope, he immediately became excited: "It was wrapped in oiled paper, so it must be well preserved. Hurry up." open to take a look."

Bai Yi picked up the envelope and opened it. Inside was a dense letter written in a hurry. Bai Yi said: "It seems that we were wrong. He committed suicide because he was in too much pain. In this way, he was bitten by Hidden Wing, and he put the poison in his water bottle with his own hands, in order to die quickly..."

It was written clearly in the letter that he did all this very methodically, sealed the ancient coins, then took out the contents of the bag, sealed the envelope in the interlayer, put the poison in the kettle, and drank it. Go down and sit here quietly waiting to die...

Liu Zhixi felt sad: "It seems that it must be very painful to let him make this decision."

"Of course, I didn't see what that person looked like just now." Shen Bing said: "And the pain lasted for a long time, I think he couldn't take it anymore, so he ended it himself, what else is in the letter? "

"Scales..." Bai Yi's expression became excited: "He found the scales under the ground, silver ones."

"The silver scales in Yuan Tiangang's tomb?" Tang Sancheng slapped his thigh vigorously: "It's funny, haha, I really didn't expect that we still have such a chance."

"He took the scales away, and that's why the paederus came out..." Bai Yi said, "This is the key. Also, the origin of this layout is also a bit strange. He found it in the antique market. , luck was a little bit too good, but the result was not very good.”

After confirming that this person is Sang Jie, the sky outside the cave has already darkened, Bai Yi said: "Take care of his bones, we have to leave as soon as possible, we haven't made any preparations, we can't spend the night in the mountains today."

They buried Sangjie's bones with stones. Liu Zhixi packed up his belongings and put them together. Discovering the bones of an old acquaintance here really made Liu Zhixi depressed. After doing all this, everyone hurried out of the mountain and found themselves. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the car, so I drove to the nearest county seat for dinner and lodging.

It may be because of the skeleton just now, except for Tang Sancheng, other people's appetite is not high, Tang Sancheng ate quite happily: "This is a good thing, why are you all frowning, it shows that we are one step closer Oh, the scales, maybe it will connect all the things together."

"You have a good idea." Shen Bing was about to ridicule Tang Sancheng, when Liu Zhixi's cell phone rang, everyone looked at each other, remained silent, and listened to Liu Zhixi talking on the phone.

It turned out that the person in charge of the relevant department called and asked about the progress of the matter. Liu Zhixi prevaricated on the phone for a while, and when he hung up the phone, he said: "It seems that we still have to proceed according to the original plan and go to the hexagram first." Look for the Bao Cemetery at the designated place in the book, and the matter of the scales can only be discussed later.”

Hearing this, Bai Yi's heart moved, and Fu Yu on the side helped him with food: "Don't think too much, we will always find the answer after one thing comes down."

It seems that Fu Yu also had the same idea, Bai Yi nodded: "One by one."

That being the case, for Liu Zhixi to explain to the higher-ups first, after resting all night, he went to the place indicated by the hexagram the next day. The hexagram originally only pointed to the general direction, and the last time Tang Sancheng came there , and again, the hexagrams finally settled down to the place in front of them. The local cultural relics bureau received Liu Zhixi and the others, but because it was a small project, only three or four people were sent over, and three of them were going to do hard work.

The person sent here claimed to be Xiaowen, said that his superiors called him that, and expressed his strong admiration for Professor Liu. The next step was to fully obey Professor Liu's arrangements, but Liu Zhixi came here for the first time. Know where to start.
