Yin Yang Tomb Raider

Chapter 317 Xiao Xuan, Yelu Chu

The first time I had a conversation with Tie Shou in such a peaceful atmosphere, it felt very strange, I scratched my hair: "Are you hungry, can I cook you a bowl of noodles?"

Shit, I accidentally included TVB's classic lines. Tie Shou didn't know the stalk, so he didn't laugh, but said sternly: "No, I don't like eating at other people's homes, so I'm leaving first."

This guy ran here for no reason, and left in such a hurry. I feel that he was worried that Lao Jiu would come back suddenly and see him in such an embarrassment, but he must have thought too much. Lao Jiu and Mengluo both came back at night. I was eating noodles alone, and the two of them showed funny expressions. I slapped my chopsticks on the table angrily: "What's so funny?"

"Uncle Yunfang didn't mention any useful information today." Lao Jiu ignored my questioning and said directly: "But after reading the file, I think we can investigate from the theft of the golden mask, although there is no clear Directionality, but the crime took place in the Mongolian grasslands, so let’s consider it an adventure, what do you think of Uncle Yunfang’s proposal?”

"Very good." I said: "It's a good time to be on the grassland now, so it's a good time to travel, but because it's investigating the case, I think it's best to use the identity of the Liren Group to go there, and I will bring it up to Hwaseong of."

Lao Jiu snapped his fingers, and the matter was settled. I went to the hospital immediately and found Hwaseong with the file. As for why we want to investigate this case, I explained it as interest. Anyway, there are so many unsolved cases, which one to investigate? It wasn’t an investigation, Hwaseong was very surprised. He thought we would choose a case that was relatively recent to investigate. The case in the 90s of the last century is 20 years away from now. There were not many police officers who handled the case. Most of them have retired and took care of the case at home. The grandson is gone, but the Liren team can't be idle. Huacheng still applied to the superiors and asked the local police for help. The reply was received a week later. At that time, Uncle Yunfang had left the imperial capital to live as someone else's wife again. After Lao Jiu and Seventh Sister confirmed their relationship, the two still got along as before, but changed from three to two, and Tie Shou finally figured out to quit.

I made a great contribution this week. After some twists and turns, I finally found a domestic expert on Khitan script and deciphered the writing on two pieces of silkworm chrysalis amber. It turned out to be two names——Xiao Xuan and Yeluchu.

Marriage of the same surname is not allowed in the Khitan Kingdom, but the Khitan people in the Liao Dynasty had only two surnames——Xiao and Yelu. Shi and Bali were the secrets of the second trial. After Abaoji married the Shulu family, a Uighur descendant, he also listed Shulu as a descendant family, and shared the surname Xiao.

As for who Xiao Xuan and Yelu Chu are, Lao Jiu and I hold different opinions. Lao Jiu immediately thought that it was the names of his parents. The imprint is very old, and it is very likely that it was passed down from the Liao Dynasty. In this way, these two people are not Lao Jiu's parents, but Lao Jiu's ancestors.

Lao Jiu and I fought fiercely and there was no further evidence to prove our idea. We can only put this aside for the time being and go to the crime scene first. The happiest thing to go to the grassland is the two sea holly, the sky of the grassland is wider , and let them fly happily!
We arrived at an unknown place. In addition to the wide road and sparse traffic on the way, there are also vast grasslands on both sides. The green grass is growing prosperously. Countless flocks of sheep are scattered on the green land like white clouds covering the grass. There are also some naughty little Tibetan mastiffs, they got out from passing by without paying attention, and almost got under our car several times, and there are some bulky yaks on the side of the road, gnawing the grass on the ground slowly, and the yurts are everywhere. Occasionally, a beautiful Mongolian girl would pass by the car, and at that time, Lao Jiu's eyes would straighten...

This place is so beautiful, look up at the sky, the sky is like a blue gem, and the lake on the side of the road is like a green gem, the two complement each other, and after a glance, I can't help but want to go to the lake, blow the wind, and look at the lake , looked up at the sky again, and stopped several times along the way. When we arrived at the destination, we arrived two hours later than the agreed time!

This is an unknown small place on the Mongolian grassland, surrounded by grasslands, only this area is a concentrated building, the local police received a notice to arrange people to respond, the people and land here exude a primitive energy , if this police officer is not wearing a police uniform, he would think he is a general with a knife in ancient times, with a standard Chinese character face and a strong figure. In my hand, I was looking anxiously, with deep eyebrows, this was my first impression of this police officer.

"Hello." Lao Jiu rolled down the car window: "You are picking us up?"

"Are we here from the imperial capital?" The man spoke in a high-pitched voice, very energetic.

"Yes, we came from the imperial capital." Lao Jiu got out of the car immediately, and bought a pack of cigarettes for the man by the way: "Brother, what's your name?"

If these words were put in the imperial capital, it would definitely make people unhappy, but this man seemed to like Lao Jiu's speaking style very much, and took the cigarette with great interest: "Ba Gen, how about you?"

Munro and I also got out of the car and introduced ourselves one by one. Bagen took us to dinner. At the dinner table, we briefly explained the background. Bagen said that they had been notified a long time ago to investigate the theft of the golden mask. , so I found the criminal police who handled the case in advance. The criminal police who handled the case back then have been scattered all over the place, some are not even in the local area, and only two are still working. Personally, even so, we were very excited and decided to visit the five immediately after dinner. Bagen suggested that we find Na Risong, who is still working and has a high position.

Na Risong, male, 51 years old this year, Ba Gen said that he is a very capable old criminal policeman. In recent years, he has retired to the front line and turned to management work. When we passed by, Na Risong had already taken out some photos and put them on the table In fact, as soon as we came in, he directly entered the topic without too much greetings, which was smoother than we thought.

Na Risong is very fluent in Chinese. After sitting down, he put the photos in front of us. These photos are some years old. I secretly hid the photos, after all, it has been 20 years, and the higher-ups don’t expect to solve the case, but I have been a criminal policeman all my life, and this one is burned in my heart, and I can’t let it go, take a look.”

The photo shows a museum 20 years ago. It is said to be a museum, but the actual situation is a bit shabby. There are some cultural relics placed in the glass lattice, and the outside is just the most common lock without monitoring. It is said that there were actually only six people at the scene at night, two of them. One is the security guard on duty, sitting in the hall where the accident happened, and four more people are in the office upstairs. Because the conditions of the local museum are poor, the higher-level unit has already proposed to transfer this batch of cultural relics to other places. Good place to go, just before the transfer, the golden mask was stolen.

In the photo, the glass grid where the golden mask is stored is empty, and the lock has not been damaged. "Where are the fingerprints and footprints?" Lao Jiu asked.

"I've collected it, but nothing matches it." Na Risong said: "And the six people at the scene all lost their memories. When I asked them if there was any strange person who went to the museum that day, they didn't know anything, even their own I don’t remember where it is, and you say it’s strange, but now there are only two of these six people left, and the other four have all passed away.”

"So concentrated?" My heart moved: "Why did you die?"

"Sickness, accident, you don't know it, the time is completely different, four people have passed away one after another in 20 years, not concentrated, I think there is no doubt." Na Risong said.

My heart moved, and I said, "Have you been investigating this case?"

Na Risong's face trembled: "Can some of you tell me why I chose this case? The place where the crime happened is not in the imperial capital."

"Have you heard of Liren Group?" Lao Jiu asked.

"I've never heard of this organization before. I didn't know the existence of this organization until you came here and someone called us," Na Risong said, "Do you have any clues?"

Lao Jiu laughed and said, "How is it possible? This is the first time we have come into contact with this case. I heard it was windy that day?"

"Yes, the local people know that there was a lot of wind that day." Na Risong said: "There was only wind, no rain, and the six people in the museum fainted. When they woke up, they found that they were still in their original positions. But I couldn’t remember anything, and then I found that the golden mask was lost, and the gate was still locked. Because of the poor conditions, the hall where the tomb’s cultural relics were kept was locked from the inside. The lock was intact and there was no trace of being picked. The two people guarding there stared at him all night, afraid of accidents."

"Where's the window?" I asked.

"The window is tied from the inside." Na Risong said, "And look at the position of the window."

Pointing to a photo, he said, "We saw that the window was installed so high that two people could reach it together. Not to mention, the window is small and narrow and rectangular, so even a child can't get in. Na Risong said: "So, this is a secret room theft case."

My brain quickly started, and I immediately thought of new possibilities: "What about the roof, is it possible to uncover the roof..."

I immediately shut my mouth and stopped analyzing this possibility, because the roof is not that kind of tile, and it is a building. How could it be possible to cut open the roof and then cut open the floor of the second floor? The movement is too big and it is impossible. Leave no trace, "Ignore my deduction just now, it's impossible." He cleared himself up, his face was a little hot, especially in front of two professional criminal policemen.

Lao Jiu said abruptly: "There is another possibility."
