Yin Yang Tomb Raider

Chapter 227 Restoration Site, Work Card
Munro took the lead to push open the largest room. The lights were on inside, and facing us was a large cabinet, just like the traditional Chinese medicine cabinets we usually see in pharmacies, with drawers stacked on top of each other, even labels on it No!
"Why is there no one?" Lao Jiu looked around suspiciously: "There is no one, how can I buy things?"

"Look carefully, there is no one, but there is a ghost." There is a long counter in front of the cabinet, and a watery shadow is slowly standing up. At first it was a vague shadow, and then slowly solidified, it was actually a The guy in the long gown of the Republic of China!Lao Jiu's eyes widened, and he rubbed his own in disbelief: "Fuck me, this, is this a ghost?"

What Meng Luo gave Lao Jiu was cattle's tears, and the effect was long-lasting. Lao Jiu turned around impatiently: "Take your time, I'll go to the yard to smoke a cigarette."

The old boy simply slipped away, the ghost guy looked at Mengluo: "Here it is again, what do you want this time?"

"Add three more black dog blood sprays, three more cinnabar shotguns, and twenty more Zhengyang and Yin symbols." Meng Luo said, "By the way, there is another thing for dealing with zombies." Do black donkeys have hooves?"

"Yes, yes, the price." The ghost guy's eyebrows were blurred, and I couldn't see what he looked like at all. I only saw his mouth moving, but his voice rang clearly in my ears: "Normal The black donkey’s hooves are useless, they must be processed by the owner to be useful, and only a few can be processed in a year, and the price is very high, are you sure you want it?”

"Yes, of course, let's talk about three first." Meng Luo said, "One each for Laojiu, Tao Ran and Huacheng. They must be recycled when they are used up. These are recyclable and cost-effective."

I gave a wry smile, and Mengluo's rich second-generation temperament was clearly visible at this time. The ghost guy took the goods, and said at the same time: "Old rules, opening the box is not allowed in the store."

Meng Luo repeatedly agreed and urged me to swipe the card. The ghost guy took out the card reader and operated it skillfully. I said angrily, "Where is the boss?"

"I'm probably sleeping. I didn't see the guy last time I came here." Meng Luo said, "I just feel that the yin and yang atmosphere in this room is very strange. I walked over to have a look. I didn't expect such a store to exist. It's amazing."

"The ghost guy is also amazing, the owner of the store should be your fellow." I looked at Lao Jiu disapprovingly, and Lao Jiu was familiar with all this: "Hurry up, hurry up, I won't come to this ghost place from now on. "

Munro said: "Everything in it is tailor-made for catching ghosts and catching zombies, and you can't buy it anywhere else."

Early in the morning of the day after tomorrow, we were ready and finally set off. Tao Ran and Hwaseong waited for us at the agreed place first. As soon as Meng Luo saw them, he couldn't wait to send the tools over. Tao Ran naturally accepted it happily, and Hwaseong slapped us. Slapping off Munro's hand, the black dog blood spray in his hand fell to the ground: "I don't use these crooked things."

Kind of being treated as a donkey's liver and lungs!I suddenly became angry, stepped forward and yelled at Meng Luo: "Be careful, who should help and who should not help, I have some brains, Officer Hua, be polite to my people, we are in the final analysis Colleague, you are not my boss, understand?"

Huacheng sneered and said, "If Tao Ran hadn't interceded, I would never have agreed with you to join the Liren Group. I know who you are. Don't think that you will be safe wearing the skin of an antique shop owner."

Hwaseong closed the car window, Meng Luo and I looked at each other, I sneered and said, "The hot face is on someone's cold ass."

Meng Luo's face turned pale: "Can't Tao Ran go alone?"

"This is a case of the Liren Group." On the contrary, Lao Jiu was extremely calm: "Huacheng is a member of the Liren Group, and it is reasonable for him to go. Okay, get in the car and leave."

Tao Ran was sitting in the co-pilot seat, staring into my eyes. The reason we drove by ourselves was that Monroe's weird things couldn't pass the security check, so we had to travel a long distance. After getting back in the car, Lao Jiu started the car, Hwaseong iron heart If he wanted to get rid of us, he would have already rushed to the front. Meng Luo was so angry that he hadn't let it out yet: "That Huacheng grows dark and has a bad temper. Why is he not a group?" long."

"That's what you asked for." Lao Jiu said angrily, "Who is to blame for sending it to your door?"

The two sea holly flapped their wings, looking gloating at their misfortune. Lao Jiu looked at them with his hands on his waist: "Take these two little things too, you are really crazy."

"It's not safe to leave them at home." I waved my hand, and the two little things stood on the roof of the car without even using a seat!
Huacheng is like an iceberg along the way, putting us thousands of miles away, but Tao Ran told us a lot about the scene of the crime, not just in the file, in her words, some things cannot be clearly written It was written, for example, before everyone disappeared, the nearby villagers heard laughter from the camp and laughed heartily. After everyone in the archaeological team disappeared, someone once smelled a strange fragrance when passing by the camp. If you laugh to your heart's content, you have encountered something happy. Could it be that Professor Shi and his party disappeared collectively when they were happy?
It was the evening of the second day when we arrived at the camp near the Xixia King’s Mausoleum. The sky was gloomy, and a sandstorm had just blown. The car was covered with dust, and a group of people looked dusty and exhausted when they got off the car. The local police A police officer named Xiao Ma received us. He seemed preoccupied and shy. His Mandarin was not up to standard, but he could understand it anyway.

After a brief introduction, we were taken to live in the guest house closest to the camp. After we had dinner, we went to the camp for a field trip. He successfully entered the blocked crime scene, but it is not known whether it is the first crime scene or not.

The camp is made up of six tents, all of which are square tents, of which only three are for people to live in, and the other three, one is a place for everyone to eat, and the other two are places for work, which are very evenly distributed. There are traces of campfires, simple chairs and stools are still placed outside, only one was kicked to the ground, and the rest are arranged very neatly. In the camp tents for accommodation, some beds are neatly folded, and some are laid flat. , and some sleeping bags were placed on the ground, and there were traces of people waking up on the bed. Tao Ran and Huacheng looked at each other: "It's very clean, so it's suspicious."

I walked towards one of the tents, this place is for work, the table is full of various tools, I am no stranger to these tools, glanced to the side, my eyes lit up: "This thing..."

"You recognize?" Lao Jiu asked.

"I gave this snuff bottle to the professor." I picked up the snuff bottle, "As a gift for him to translate the Tangut text for me, unexpectedly he used it, and he still carried it with him."

There is also snuff in the snuff bottle. Snuff is a kind of tobacco product. It was originally a Western product. After it was introduced to China from Europe in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, it was processed and transformed into powdered medicinal materials. After inhalation, it has the effect of improving eyesight and avoiding epidemics. There are still two-thirds of the snuff in it, but one-third is used, and it is placed on the right hand side, so it is easy to pick up and use. Could it be that this is where the professor works?
"Lin Tianyi, what do you think?" Tao Ran asked.

"I don't know, the professor has a special feeling for this place." I said, "He has come here more than once to pick up wind, and he returned to the imperial capital without incident. Why did something happen this time?"

"Take a rest first, and go in to check tomorrow during the day." Huacheng said, "I'm leaving first."

Tao Ran followed helplessly, Lao Jiu patted me on the shoulder: "Okay, let's go to have a rest too."

I glanced at the workbench, the snuff bottle, the brushes used to clean the dirt on the outer layer of antiques, and some specific chemicals. These are all used to clean antiques. I touched my nose. I can also do the same things, but the lid of the bottle is still not closed, the professor is clearly still working one moment, and disappears the next second?

I stared carefully at the work table in front of me, no, there must be something wrong, Lao Jiu urged again: "Aren't you leaving?"

Two sea hollies suddenly let out a long cry, and jumped from my shoulders to the work table. They clawed at the chemical reagents on the table with their claws. I finally realized what was wrong, "Too careful is not normal. Well, we usually clean antiques, some of the reagents will leak out when they are stained, and the brush is not a vacuum cleaner, but you see, the surface of this table is as good as new. Although there is a layer of dust, the reagents did not leak at all. Cleaned up the place!"

Lao Jiu and Meng Luo looked at each other: "Who is so thoughtful?"

"You ask me, who do I ask." I said angrily, "Look for the professor's luggage."

"With so much luggage, how do you know which one belongs to the professor?" Munro asked stupidly.

"The professor is old, so you can tell by his clothes. Also, he is a man, so take out everything that looks like his luggage." I said seriously, "Hurry up."

At this moment, Tao Ran went back and forth. Seeing us packing and unpacking in a hurry, he joined in without asking any questions. In a blink of an eye, we put all the backpacks and boxes of the suspected elderly men together and lined them up. While rummaging, he told Tao Ran what he found, and at the same time repeated what the professor said at the beginning. Tao Ran was thoughtful, and Lao Jiu suddenly yelled: "This is it, Lin Tianyi, look, this is the professor's name card?"

Really, I took it and shook my head inexplicably: "As far as I know, they wear work badges to show their identity when they go in and out of archaeology. How did the professor stuff the work badges into the backpack?"

There was no work card in the rest of the luggage, and the work card of the professor alone was hidden. I wondered, did the professor know that he was going to encounter something unexpected, or was this just a coincidence?
