curse

Chapter 48

The rainy night is boundless.

Ye Xiao's complexion was very bad. He was sitting in a small meeting room of the Institute of Archeology. There was a TV and a video recorder in the meeting room.He pressed the remote control, and the video tape began to appear on the TV.

"Officer Ye, where did you find this video tape?" the deputy director of the Institute of Archeology asked beside him.

"It's in the safe in Wen Haogu's office." Ye Xiao said.

There were only the two of them in the room, and it was still raining outside the window, so the light in the room was also very dim. Ye Xiao continued to ask: "Don't you know this tape?"

"We never read Director Wen's stuff. He is always mysterious."

"You mean he has eccentricities?"

"Maybe it's the reason why she never got married."

"Don't talk, watch the video quickly, where is that?" Ye Xiao pointed to the screen on the TV and said.

A wasteland appeared on the TV, the sky was full of yellow dust and land, endless, it seemed that it should be filmed in the passenger seat of the car.The quality of the picture is average, it is a bit reddish overall, and the sound is very loud, probably the sound of a car engine.

A bit of green appears at the end of the horizon, and then the scene jumps to a white valley in an instant.Obviously, the footage was edited at the beginning, and then the camera was pointed at the side window, and some graves began to appear.The farther the car went, the more graves there were on both sides, and the scene became more miserable. Then there were constant editing traces, until the car stopped in front of a tall mound.The camera was lifted off the car, and then some people appeared in front of the camera, including Wen Haogu, Xu Anduo, Zhang Kai, Yang Xiaolong, and Lin Zisu.But there are some people that Ye Xiao doesn't know. He asked the deputy director softly: "Apart from the people from the Institute of Archeology, do you know these people?"

"No, I've never seen it. But I'm sure this is the archeology they went to Xinjiang three months ago. Those people I don't know should be the staff of the local cultural relics department."

"Why didn't you see Jiang He?"

"The person carrying the camera is Jiang He. He is the only person here who knows how to use the camera and edit it himself, so he is in charge of all the work of filming."

They stopped talking, and a big hole appeared on the side of the mound in the camera. Ye Xiao could see that there were traces of blasting operations at the hole.

The deputy director said: "It must be the cave of the cultural relics thieves. They may have used some explosives. That kind of place is inaccessible. The tomb robbers almost exhausted all methods to plunder the cultural relics, so Director Wen has been worried about this."

The sound of their conversation came from the TV. Wen Haogu seemed to be arguing with Yang Xiaolong, and then Zhang Kai and Xu Anduo also joined the quarrel. The sound quality was not very good, even though Ye Xiao turned the volume of the TV to the highest, Still can't hear what they're saying.The next part was cut out again, and Ye Xiao gradually became impatient looking at the intermittent picture.

Suddenly, the screen suddenly entered a dark environment, almost completely black, and he couldn't see his fingers. At first Ye Xiao thought that there was something wrong with the TV, but only after hearing the sound did he understand.Then, someone turned on the light, illuminating the front of the camera. It was a long corridor. The light only illuminated a distance of about a few meters ahead, and it was still immersed in darkness further on.It looked like Jiang He was leading the way with the camera on his shoulders.The camera kept moving forward, and the picture shook so badly that Ye Xiao felt a little dizzy watching it.Sometimes the lens is aimed at the top of the head and the four walls. In the light, some patterns can be vaguely seen, but they are very faint, and the light is too bright, and some reflections appear, which is really unclear.As I was walking, a wall suddenly appeared in front of me, and the light shone on the wall, revealing the patterns and words on the wall.Then the back of Wen Haogu appeared in the camera. He approached the wall, as if he was observing the wall carefully. Then, Wen Haogu read a passage softly - "Who entered this tomb?" , whoever will be annihilated by the eternal curse."

Now the sound quality is surprisingly good, Ye Xiao clearly heard Wen Haogu's voice coming from the TV speakers.He cast his eyes on the deputy director, and the deputy director's face was also pale.Then, the screen suddenly disappeared.Ye Xiao immediately rewound the tape again, and played it again, but it still disappeared after Wen Haogu's sentence, and the rest of it was blank. This part must have been cut.Ye Xiao put his hand on his chin, pondered for a moment and then said softly, "Why did Jiang He cut off the content behind?"

"I don't know, maybe he doesn't want to leave anything in the video."

Then, Ye Xiao re-watched the video with the slow-forward function, but he couldn't see anything new. In the end, he could only take out the video tape, put it in his bag, and prepare to take it back to the bureau for analysis.Ye Xiao was a little puzzled, where did Jiang He put the cut part?What unknown content is there in the cut part?Everyone who has entered the ancient tomb is dead, and no one can answer this question.Ye Xiao shook his head helplessly, turned around and asked the deputy director, "I'm sorry, how do you feel after reading it?"

"I'm a little scared." The deputy director's eyes flickered.

"afraid of what?"

"Some people say that Director Wen died because of a curse. Could it be that Wen Haogu's last sentence was about this curse?"

Ye Xiao cast his eyes sharply on him, then slowly moved away, and he left the archaeological research institute.

Walking out of the gate of the Institute of Archeology, he drove the bureau's car through the misty and rainy streets.
