I asked you to write a book, not to disclose your criminal record!

Chapter 175: A more serious crime? ( words)
Qin Sisi closed the chat box with Shen Qianqian, thought about it, and opened Lin Chuan's novel again.

——The first volume of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles".

She wanted to see what the description of the tomb was like in Lin Chuan's novel.

'This unusual brick wall immediately caught our attention.'

"There is a burglar-proof layer inside the brick wall, and all the bricks must be taken out."

'Moreover, the wall is full of strong acid. Once it is broken, the strong acid will instantly pour onto the person, turning the person into a bloody corpse.'

'...'

until late at night.

Qin Sisi fell into a deep sleep, but even her dreams were filled with scenes of the tomb chamber of the Seven-Star Lu Palace.

call--

The next day, early morning.

The breeze gently blows across the mountains, and the mist in the mountains floats like a veil, gradually dissipating under the morning light.

The mountains in the distance are looming, and the outlines of the peaks appear soft and mysterious in the morning mist, like a shy girl, revealing her face half-hidden.

The sounds of birds singing and beasts roaring rang in everyone's ears.

There were a total of six off-road vehicles entering the mountains this time.

Archaeological Team 9, Linyi Cultural Relics Bureau, and Linyi Police Station, two vehicles each.

Following yesterday's route, a group of people rushed to the ancient tomb site before the morning mist dissipated.

The scene was cordoned off yesterday and no one broke in.

The arrival of the Cultural Relics Bureau and the police did not play a substantial role; they served more as witnesses and evidence collectors.

There was also a photographer recording the video.

This is a trace of work.

The main force is still Archaeology Team 9 and Professor Qi.

“Dig from here!”

After some geological and tomb exploration, the experienced Lao Yao decided to carry out protective excavation of the ancient tomb underground.

Tomb robbers have already visited here.

Protective excavation requires us to hurry up.

A group of archaeological team members immediately took action, and the police and cultural relics protection workers also joined the excavation.

The archaeological shovel dances up and down.

Shovels of soil were transported far away and dumped into piles, with stones piled nearby.

Not long after.

Not far from the stolen hole, a wide hole was dug out, about eight or nine meters deep, and the brick wall layer was exposed in front of everyone.

Qin Sisi was the main force in the excavation team. She looked at the brick wall first and her brows immediately frowned.

"Xiao Qin, did you find anything?"

Old Yao hadn't come close yet, but when he saw Qin Sisi like this, he started to ask.

Qin Sisi did not answer immediately, but knocked on the brick wall, which made a thudding sound.

Her mind was beating with the thumping sound.

'There is a burglar-proof interlayer inside the brick wall, so the bricks on the wall can only be taken out and not pushed in.'

'This brick wall is covered with a layer of wax filled with strong acid. If you open it rashly, it will instantly pour on people.'

'Strong acid is extremely corrosive. Once it is poured on a person, the whole body will be corroded.'

'...'

The relevant description in "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" immediately came to her mind.

so similar!
She sniffed it again, but didn't smell any strong acid, probably because the wax layer blocked the smell.

At this moment, she was eager to break the brick wall and see if what was inside was as Lin Chuan described.

Anti-theft layer, strong acid.

So, she looked at Lao Yao and immediately said, "Captain Yao, our preliminary guess is that this is an anti-theft layer. Bricks cannot be pushed in, they can only be taken out. In addition, there is a high possibility of strong acid, so we need to be extra careful."

Lao Yao came to her side and nodded solemnly: "Let me do it."

As an experienced captain, he naturally knew how to deal with these.

His index finger and middle finger were very long, but he didn't have the ability to use two fingers to explore a hole, so he could only take out a military knife and slowly pry the crack in the brick wall.

Kaka.

Bricks flew out of his hands.

Sure enough, this was an anti-theft layer, and then the wax layer appeared in front of her eyes.

However, there is no strong acid like red liquid under the wax layer.

Qin Sisi breathed a sigh of relief. This should have nothing to do with Lin Chuan.

But the next moment, Lin Chuan became even more suspicious.

Because, Lin Chuan's novel describes that after breaking through the brick wall, they used needles and plastic tubes to guide the strong acid liquid into a vertical well.

Over time, the soil nearby will inevitably be acidified by strong acids, and its acidity will be much higher than the soil in the same place that has not encountered strong acids.

Qin Sisi immediately took out the acid-base testing paper.

Start comparing the pH values ​​of soil in several places.

really.

The soil near the tunnel is much more acidic than that in other places.

This……

Before entering the tomb, Lin Chuan's suspicion increased.

the other side.

Lao Yao and others have broken through the brick wall and wax layer, and found a dark underground palace.

Professional instruments were used to test the toxicity and air values. After confirming safety, a group of people immediately entered the underground palace with relevant equipment.

Qin Sisi took a deep breath and began to pray secretly that the layout of the tomb would not be the same as what Lin Chuan recorded.

but!

It wasn't until she entered the underground palace and glanced around under the illumination of the lighting equipment that her heart sank.

Totally cold!

At this moment, she basically sentenced Lin Chuan to prison.

The sentence for tomb robbery can be as short as three or two years or as long as life indefinitely, depending on the degree of damage to the tomb, the losses already caused, the cultural relics stolen, the impact caused, etc.

Even a bowl of peanuts is served.

Biubiubiu!

It's all possible!

"Writer Lin, I hope your sentence will be shorter." Qin Sisi's eyes fell on the underground palace and she sighed.

The heart that was hanging in the air finally died!

'On the floor of the tomb is a whole stone slab in the shape of the Eight Diagrams, with ancient characters engraved all over it.'

'Around them, eight eternally burning lamps have gone out.'

'In the middle of the tomb is a four-legged square tripod, on the top of which are engraved patterns of the sun, moon and stars.'

'To the south, there is a sarcophagus.'

"Behind the sarcophagus, there is another path going down, and it seems there is a deeper underground palace."

'...'

The layout here is exactly the same as Lin Chuan described.

Qin Sisi finally figured it out.

It is no wonder that Lin Chuan can locate the dragon so accurately, and he also knows the art of smelling the earth and the unique skills of Fa Qiu Zhonglang Jiang.

——Explore the cave with two fingers.

Is it possible that other tomb robbers told Lin Chuan?
In fact, this possibility cannot be ruled out.

But Qin Sisi thought again, which tomb robber would tell his criminal record to a novelist and let him publish it?
To show off or to surrender?
Therefore, the possibility that Lin Chuan committed the crime is very high!
“This tripod!”

At this moment, a ray of bright light fell on the tripod.

A staff member from the Cultural Relics Bureau nearby trotted over with shining eyes and said, "Fortunately, this tripod was not stolen!"

Several staff members from the Cultural Relics Bureau gathered around the tripod and began to study it.

Finally come to a conclusion.

——This four-legged square tripod dates back to the Warring States Period, but is more likely a product of the Spring and Autumn Period.

——It is worth over 100 million yuan and can be regarded as the treasure of the museum.

Qin Sisi was standing nearby, listening to the discussion of the staff from the Cultural Relics Bureau, and her brows furrowed again.

She had another doubt in her mind.

"Lin Chuan is a master in cultural relic identification and restoration. He must know the value of this tripod. If he was the one who robbed the tomb, why didn't he take the tripod away?"

"Could it be that Lin Chuan still has a chance to quibble?"

A glimmer of hope was rekindled in Qin Sisi's dying heart.

As long as the tomb is not destroyed, the contents are not missing.

Then... Lin Chuan is not guilty!
"I hope so." Qin Sisi muttered.

Subsequently.

Qin Sisi bypassed the sarcophagus and followed the tomb passage into the deeper part. On both sides of the inclined tomb passage, there were inscriptions and stone carvings, and everyone stopped to analyze them.

However, Qin Sisi didn't care about it because she had seen these contents in Lin Chuan's novels a long time ago.

Now she is secretly alert.

From the surface until now, all the details of Lin Chuan match.

God knows if there are things like "blue-eyed fox corpse, nine-headed snake cypress, blood corpse, and red corpse-bugs" in there.

If so, it would be very dangerous.

For this reason, Qin Sisi reported to Lao Yao and said, "Captain Yao, the owner of this underground palace is not a simple person. There should be many traps here, and there may be some unknown creatures. We need to be careful."

After Lao Yao entered the tomb, he took a quick look and found that the tomb had not been severely damaged, so he was in a good mood.

He smiled and nodded: "Xiao Qin, your suggestion is good."

Then, he immediately began issuing instructions, asking everyone to be on guard.

These archaeologists are all experienced and have worked in the national archaeological team for a long time. The reason they have survived is naturally because of their vigilance and sharpness.

Of course, you have to be tough!
Tomb robbers need to be strong, otherwise they can't do it.

Archaeologists have to be even more lucky because most tomb robbers know some mechanical tricks, but archaeologists may not know much about them.

So, you have to have a tough life!
Fortunately, in this underground palace, there were no such things as the 'blue-eyed fox corpse, nine-headed snake cypress, blood corpse, and red corpse-bugs' described in Lin Chuan's novel.

Until everyone passed through the corridor and saw a huge jade door, the jade door had already opened.

Archaeologists entered Yumen and arrived at the main tomb area.

Above the main tomb area is a large roof covered with murals and densely written words.

Below, there are many sarcophagi.

Qin Sisi counted them.

One, two, three, four... There are seven sarcophagi in total. These seven sarcophagi are obviously not of the same level as the one they just found in the tomb.

The seven sarcophagi in the main tomb chamber are much more exquisite.

Each bite is filled with ancient characters and painted with many exquisite patterns, such as animal patterns, clothing, or the sun, moon and stars.

There are also some weird things.

Old Yao came forward, stared at the words on the sarcophagus, and said, "These are large seal characters, which are consistent with the fonts used by the State of Lu during the pre-Qin period."

Most of the people present were archaeologists who had studied the large seal script and could roughly understand the content above.

Qin Sisi also looked over.

Sure enough, as expected, it recorded the deeds of the tomb owner.

The owner of this tomb was a prince of the State of Lu. He was born with a ghost seal that enabled him to borrow ghost soldiers from the underworld and was invincible in battle. He was named King Lu Shang by the Duke of Lu.

It's probably something like this.

At this time, Professor Qi and a group of staff from the Cultural Relics Bureau were looking at the seven sarcophagi with burning eyes.

Professor Qi looked at the positions of the seven stone coffins and began to explain: "Captain Yao, these seven stone coffins correspond to the positions of the Big Dipper, so they are called Seven Star Coffins."

"The owner of this tomb is King Lu Shang, a vassal of the State of Lu. There must be a lot of burial objects." said a staff member of the Cultural Relics Bureau.

Everyone thought.

Among these seven sarcophagi, one is the main coffin and the other six are burial objects.

As for the buried companions, they are most likely in another burial pit.

This also conforms to the burial specifications of the princes of the State of Lu.

Old Yao looked at the seven sarcophagi with a complicated expression on his face: "Don't you think it's a little strange?"

Everyone frowned.

Lao Yao explained: "Based on the existence of the tomb robbery holes, this place must have been visited by tomb robbers, but how come these seven sarcophagi are still intact?"

"Does Captain Yao have any doubts?"

Professor Qi also showed a hint of surprise on his face and asked.

Lao Yao shook his head: "I just feel it's strange, I'm not sure."

"Captain Yao, we've found something!"

Suddenly, in a tomb chamber next to the main tomb chamber, an archaeological worker ran out and reported nervously.

"What's going on?" Old Yao's face turned grim.

"We found two bodies in the corner of the side tomb chamber," the archaeological staff reported.

"Corpse?"

Old Yao frowned.

Qin Sisi's heart also skipped a beat.

At this time, police staff, Lao Yao, Qin Sisi and others rushed over immediately.

The side tomb chamber is very large and contains a sarcophagus.

The sarcophagus had been opened, and there was nothing inside.

Near it were two shriveled corpses in different shapes.

One of them was lying face down, straight down, and the other was curled up. The tomb was filled with a faint stench of corpses.

Qin Sisi tried hard to hold back her retching as she watched several police officers at the entrance of the tomb taking samples from the two bodies.

She suddenly felt uneasy again.

This was beyond her expectations. There was no record of such a thing in the first volume of Lin Chuanxiao's "Grave Robbers' Chronicles". Moreover, these were two corpses and had not yet formed skeletons.

This must be the tomb robber who dug the hole.

But why did they die here?
This became a mystery.

The police comrades were very professional and conducted professional testing and on-site investigation for half an hour.

One of the police officers came over and said, "Captain Yao, based on our analysis just now, these two people should have been killed. Preliminary estimates show that they died no more than six months ago. They should be tomb robbers, and their specific identities are yet to be determined."

"Kill him?"

Captain Yao didn't know much about the murder case, but it sounded strange.

The police officer nodded and continued, "Yes, although they were already shrunken, we could see from their bodies that one of them was stabbed in the back, and the other was stabbed in the abdomen and chest. Therefore, it was determined to be homicide."

Everyone was shocked.

This was clearly an internal fight among tomb robbers as they were dividing up the loot, and they were tempted by the wealth.

"Where is the murder weapon?" Old Yao couldn't help but ask.

"No murder weapon was found on either of them, nor at the scene. We conclude that the two victims were killed by a third party!" The police officer gave his analysis.

"In other words, there was another tomb robber who killed his accomplice, took the cultural relics for himself, and fled?"

Old Yao swallowed and asked in a daze.

"That's very possible." The policeman nodded and replied.

aside.

Qin Sisi was stunned on the spot.

She was outside the side tomb chamber, looking at the two suspected victims of tomb robbers in the tomb chamber, and her heart was filled with ripples.

No, not ripples.

It's a huge wave!
She had already imagined a huge novel in her mind.

Three tomb robbers entered the tomb of King Lu Shang. One of them wanted to embezzle the treasure, so he became malicious and killed the other two accomplices.

After leaving the tomb, he recorded his crimes in the form of a novel.

This person is most likely...

Lin Chuan!

As an archaeological worker, Qin Sisi is not a criminal police officer and cannot investigate the scene, but based on common sense, this is basically Lin Chuan!
Any normal person would judge that it was Lin Chuan!

Therefore, in Qin Sisi's judgment, Lin Chuan was not just committing tomb robbery, but was also involved in a murder case!
hiss!
Grave robbing and murder.

The crime is added to the class!
How many baskets of peanuts are needed?

At least it’s going to be a hornet’s nest!
She thought it was an archaeological mission, but unexpectedly, the tomb chamber and underground palace turned out to be a crime scene.

And all the criticisms were directed at Lin Chuan.

At least now, Lin Chuan is a major suspect!
Qin Sisi stood there blankly, her mind already full of random thoughts.

"Xiao Qin, what's wrong with you? Are you not feeling well?" Old Yao looked at Qin Sisi beside him. Seeing that Qin Sisi's face was pale and there was no blood on her lips, he asked with concern.

"Ah, I'm fine." Qin Sisi came back to her senses and replied.

At this moment, she was feeling very conflicted!
Should I confess this matter directly to Lao Yao?
To put it bluntly, she saw almost the same details in Lin Chuan's novel.

As for the case of the two tomb robbers, let the police investigate.

"The stench just now made you react. You should stay away from the scene and take a few breaths of oxygen. Let the police handle this. Let's take a look at those sarcophagi." Old Yao said.

"Coffin..." Qin Sisi murmured.

"Yes, it is difficult for us to take these sarcophagi away, so I plan to open the coffins on the spot and see what is inside," said Lao Yao.

"Open the coffin on the spot?"

Qin Sisi frowned immediately, "The coffin cannot be opened!"

"Why?" Old Yao also frowned.

"These seven sarcophagi are very likely to be in danger!" Qin Sisi said immediately.

"Is there any mystery behind these seven sarcophagi?" Old Yao asked in a daze, frowning.
