Chapter 357 Reasoning Notes 8: Legend of the Pharaoh (7)
Section [-] Yellowed Photos

In the early morning, the snow-white sunlight covered Li Anna's body.Her soft curly hair was loose, and there was a slight smell of alcohol on her lips.Eyelashes trembled, and she quickly woke up, but felt that her head was extremely heavy.

when did i come backLi Anna covered her head and sat up, looking at the sunshine outside the window.She was sleeping on the bed in the teacher's dormitory at this time, with her mobile phone on the side of the pillow.Oh, she vaguely remembered drinking late with her colleagues last night and getting very drunk.Later, I only remember some messy song rhythms, and then it was broken.

"Oops, Dad!" She just remembered the business, picked up the phone and looked, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.There weren't any missed calls on it, and her father didn't call her again last night.Li Anna shook her head and went to wash her eyes with dry eyes.

Gotta go to the museum now.She picked out a snow-white gauze dress, dressed up and ran downstairs, but she bumped into Director Lin who was going upstairs.He asked, "Are you up? Did you sleep well? You were very drunk last night."

"Really? I'm sorry to trouble you." Li Anna scratched her head embarrassingly, "But thank you for sending me back, I have to go beforehand!" She waved to Director Lin and ran downstairs in a hurry. I stopped a taxi on the side of the road and went straight to the museum.

In the car, Li Anna still couldn't dial her father's phone.

"The number you dialed was not answered, please try again later..." A mechanical and cold female voice came from the other end of the phone.She hung up the phone, leaned on the seat and looked out the window at the galloping scenery.For some reason, the short ten-minute journey suddenly felt extremely long to her.

As soon as the taxi stopped on the side of the road, Li Anna opened the door and ran down.

What happened?She immediately frowned.I saw three or four police cars flashing red outside the gate of the museum, and a large number of students left the gate of the museum in an orderly manner under the guidance of the staff, with expressions of lingering fear on their faces.

not good.Li Anna felt bad and immediately ran into the hall.She saw several white-gloved police officers sealing off the exhibition hall with a yellow cordon. "Please leave carefully, don't destroy the murder scene." The police commanded everyone with a loudspeaker.

Murder!Could it be... Li Anna's heart felt like being pricked by a needle.She approached the booth of the golden coffin with trepidation.Several forensic personnel were collecting evidence around the coffin, and there was a dead body in the coffin.The chest cavity of the corpse was sunken abruptly, leaving only blurred flesh and blood, it was simply too horrible to look at.It's not a pharaoh mummy, it's gone.

The person lying inside is... Li Anna recognized the clothes of the deceased at a glance.

"Father!" She stumbled and ran over, but was stopped by the police guarding the scene. She could only look at her father's miserable condition, and let out a heart-piercing cry from her throat.He was still wearing the tie she gave him for his birthday this year. On that day, they agreed to travel abroad together during the Chinese New Year.He was a person who was fine yesterday, but today he couldn't even see him for the last time...

Why? !Li Anna's heart and lungs were broken.

Is all this really the curse of Pharaoh?
That night, Lianna sat in the museum office sorting out her father's belongings. He had been sitting here on duty the night before, and the photos of Egyptian artifacts were stacked in the upper right corner, covered with his fingerprints.On the table, a fountain pen with a metallic matte luster lay quietly. It was a pen that my father had used for decades.

It has lost its owner forever.

Li Anna picked it up, and a tear suddenly fell from the corner of her eye.

In the eyes of colleagues, my father is a man who does not contend with the world, always stays up late and works overtime, and is gentle and caring for his subordinates.In her eyes, he was socially simple, got along well with his neighbors, and was a good father who raised his daughter alone.What was the reason for his bad luck?
Is it just the ridiculous reason for the pharaoh's curse?She doesn't believe it.

Li Anna picked up the photo of the golden coffin and stared closely at it.Her mind recalled the terrified look on his father's face when she saw her father for the last time.Dad... She called softly, the desolation in her heart spreading into tears.While thinking about it, two figures walked into the office, disrupting her thoughts.

"Who?" She turned her head vigilantly, but saw two high school students.One was wearing a white shirt, innocent and harmless, and the other was cold and expressionless, surprisingly handsome.

"Who are you?" Li Anna asked.

"Hello, my name is Mikaka, and his name is Qi Mu. We are campus detectives." Chunliang high school student introduced himself to her, while another high school student with facial paralysis looked around, looking through the bookcase for a while, and observing the wall for a while. photos on .

"Campus detective?" Li Anna wiped away the tears on her face. "What are you doing here?"

"We are very interested in this case. Maybe we can help you." Mikaka said sincerely.

"I think the police will investigate this matter, and you don't need it."

Are two students playing detective?Li Anna didn't know how powerful this pair of partners was, otherwise she wouldn't have declined politely.She was about to issue an order to evict the guest, but at this moment, a paralyzed high school student named Sai Mu raised his finger and stared at her.

"What photo is this?"

He was referring to a yellowed group photo on the wall.The photos look old, and the people inside are wearing clothes that are common in the 80s.And there is an inscription in the lower right corner of the photo—taken in 1982.This is a photo taken 32 years ago, but the background is very strange, as if in a wilderness, with several tents set up behind it.Back then, Li Yunong was still a youthful young man, and standing on his left was a middle-aged man with heroic features, a bearded face and glasses.

There are a total of ten people in this photo, like a team.The middle-aged man mentioned just now should be the leader of this team.Because he stood in the middle, full of leadership qualities.

"This is a photo of my father when he went to Egypt for archaeology." Li Anna walked over and looked at the photo: "I heard that there was an accident and only a few people survived."

The Egyptian archaeological team, Chinese, 30 years ago, survivors... This reminded Qi Mu immediately of the rumor of the Chinese tomb robber who died in the pharaoh's tomb mentioned by the commentator.Could it be that Li Yunong is the survivor of that expedition?Qi Mu groaned for a moment, and suddenly his fingers moved to a person in the photo who was blackened by cigarette butts. "Who is this guy?"

"I don't know either. Huh?" Li Anna stared at the photo and thought for a while, "It's strange, when I looked at the photos before, it seemed that this person's profile picture didn't look like this. Why suddenly..."

This shows that someone was deliberately concealing the real identity of this person, so he used cigarette butts to dispose of his avatar.The question is, is there anything special about its identity?Could it be that it is the murderer? !

"Is there anything unusual about the curator before he died?" Qi Mu then asked.

"Oh, he called me for no reason that night. Hey, no, why did I tell you this? Who are you?" Li Anna looked at them, and her vigilance suddenly increased.

Even campus detectives don't care about this kind of murder.

"Miss Li, don't be afraid." Mikaka tried to defend, "We are good people. We will help you." After finishing speaking, he also acted cute, which made his credibility drop sharply.

"Please go back." Li Anna had just issued the order to evict the guest, and it was Qi Mu's turn to act.

He coldly took out his police officer ID and said only one sentence: "Please assist in the investigation."

This guy is a policeman?It's true to look at the photo of the police officer's card, but is there such a young policeman?Li Anna felt that this handsome man was more like a high school student.

"Aren't you with him?" Li Anna pointed at Mi Kaka uncertainly.Qi Mu glanced at him proudly, with disdain on the corner of his mouth, "He's just my follower."

Hey Hey hey.Who is the follower!Mi Kaka was dissatisfied, and because of the situation, she had to swallow her anger.Only then did Li Anna feel relieved, and continued: "I was at a class reunion last night, and my father suddenly called and said to me, 'There were only four people who came back, not five'. Later, I drank too much, and stayed After being drunk all night, when I woke up and rushed over, I saw my father..." Li Anna couldn't help but choked up again when she said this.

"One more person?" This message is very important.Qi Mu frowned. "Did your father mention what happened back then?"

"I only said it once when I was very young and ignorant, and he never said it again." Li Anna shook her head, "This memory is like a kind of torture to my father. As far as I can remember, he often wakes up in the middle of the night , I couldn’t sleep well. Although he saved his life, those experiences left him with a great psychological shadow, and he couldn’t live peacefully at all.”

What kind of secret did Li Yunong know that led to his murder?Before he died, he specially told his daughter that he wanted to leave important clues.It seems that this case is likely to have something to do with the extra fifth person.In other words, there were five survivors. If Li Yunong was the first to be killed, then the next one would be...

"Do you know who the survivors are?" Qi Mu stared at the old photo.The photos were not signed, and it was difficult to find out the identities of the players back then.

"I don't know. Father didn't say a word about it. But..."

"But what?"

"Father accidentally revealed the Golden Book..." Li Anna said.

"The Book of Gold? What is that?"

"I do not know either."

The golden book, the golden mask, the golden coffin.It seems that it belongs to Pharaoh Khufu again.Could it be that what they got from the ancient tomb was the Golden Book?But what secrets does this book hold?Qi Mu held his chin and remained silent.Suddenly, Li Anna remembered the night she met her father for the last time:

"By the way, someone came to look for my father before he died!"

"Do you know that person? What does he look like?"
