As far as most people's perception is concerned, when Ah Fu was taken over by the police for questioning, most people already had an idea.

Sure enough, with Qi Tian's questioning, the people who eat melons began to speculate.

Some professional archaeological experts also rushed to the scene when they heard the news.

Gu Chen took out his notebook and stood aside.

Everyone discussed Ah Fu's suspicion with great interest.

"Officer Qi, you can say whatever you want to ask, why can't I understand what you're talking about?"

Qi Tian also snorted coldly: "Ah Fu, I'll tell you clearly, since yesterday's assistant Xiao Zhang and Xiao He appeared in a coma, you have been spreading curses in the archaeological base, and today when Master Xiao appears in this situation again, you are the first to come out to spread rumors, I think you are the most suspicious here." ”

"Am I the most suspicious?" Ah Fu also looked innocent, and said: "I'm just trying to persuade you, don't joke with your own life, what I said is true, this place is definitely unlucky, you still don't believe it." ”

"Yes, Ah Fu said that there was a curse here from the beginning, but within a few days, strange things came one after another, how can you say this?" one of the onlookers couldn't help but interject.

Another staff member also said: "You can't just suspect what people say and what they are? Ah Fu knows a little about feng shui." ”

"I can testify to this. Another man raised his hand.

Qi Tian is also very angry, and he is investigating Ah Fu, what are these people doing here?

Of course, Qi Tian knew that Ah Fu understood Feng Shui.

But the curse is pure nonsense, what age are they?

Gu Chen put down the transcript and said to everyone: "The police are handling the case, please don't get close to interfere, we will send you over for questioning if necessary." ”

Then Gu Chen asked Professor Li again: "Can you lend us the room?"

"Of course. Professor Li gave up his position, took the initiative to open the door of the room, and said, "You are questioning inside, and I will help you stop these people." ”

"Then there's work. Gu Chen thanked him and pushed Ah Fu directly inside.

The other onlookers were stopped outside the house by Professor Li: "Everyone go back first, I will inform everyone if there is a situation." ”

"Professor Li, there must be a curse in this place, right?"

"yes, this is already the third, maybe you'll be next. ”

"This place is indeed a bit evil, it feels weird. ”

"If it really doesn't work, let us go back, who loves to come?"

"Yes, although archaeological excavation is a great undertaking, it is not good to lose a small life. ”

......

All kinds of clouds, Professor Li is almost immune to hearing it in the past few days.

He wasn't too sleepy, he hadn't slept for more than 20 hours since the incident, and he felt like it was time to rest.

"Bang!" the door shut.

Since this is an abandoned old mansion, there are almost no other items except for the folding bed brought by the archaeological team, and the three of them can only stand in place.

Ah Fu leaned against the corner of the wall and said impatiently: "Comrade policeman, I think you are really mistaken, the three of them have become like this, it really has nothing to do with me." ”

"Did you go out last night?" Gu Chen asked.

"This ...... Yes. Ah Fu nodded, and said in a lazy tone: "It looks like about one o'clock in the morning at night, and I have an urgency to urinate, so I went out and solved it." ”

"Do you live in an old mansion?" Gu Chen asked again.

"Yes. Ah Fu did not deny it, and continued: "Those of us who belong to the core of archaeology, like Professor Li, can all live in such a sturdy house, while other workers can only sleep in tents. ”

"You live alone?" Gu Chen asked.

Ah Fu shook his head and said, "I am Professor Wang's assistant, and I live with Professor Wang. ”

Gu Chen recorded these circumstances and asked, "Then have you recently discovered that there are any suspicious people in the archaeological base?"

"This ...... Let me think. Ah Fu frowned for a moment, and quickly looked at the dilapidated ceiling and thought.

After about ten seconds, Ah Fu thought of something, seeing that Gu Chen was staring at him, and didn't want to say anything, he smiled and said seriously: "Officer Gu, there really isn't." ”

"Are you sure?" Qi Tian on the side answered, always feeling that this Ah Fu was weird.

Judging from his appearance, he is an honest and responsible guy, but sometimes it is impossible to determine a person's true behavior from his appearance.

Ah Fu's current question is also ambiguous, and it seems that the answer is not answered.

But the passion for curses is undiminished.

After Gu Chen asked some more basic information, he said, "You can go first, but please remember that you are not allowed to spread curse rumors again." ”

"It's all true anyway, so it's not going to be spread, right? ”

Ah Fu wanted to say a few more words, but Qi Tian raised his fist and was about to beat him.

Seeing this, Ah Fu quickly shrunk his neck, opened the group and left quickly.

"Just let him go?" Qi Tian felt unwilling.

Gu Chen smiled and said, "I can't ask from him for useful value, but I found that there are some connected laws in this." ”

"You mean?" Qi Tian was originally anxious about Ah Fu's question, but when he heard Gu Chen say this, he suddenly felt a little bit brighter.

"Didn't you notice? The three people who had the accident were the first team members to come to the scene to find out the situation. “

Gu Chen wrote the names of the team members who came to the scene at that time with a pen in the record book, and continued: "Professor Li, Professor Wang, Professor Peng, and the rest are assistants Xiao Zhang and Xiao He, as well as the driver and logistics master Xiao. ”

"Then you mean, if this happens next, it will definitely happen between Professor Li, Professor Wang, and Professor Peng?" Qi Tian also gasped.

I feel that this possibility of Gu Chen's reasoning is very high.

Because judging from the current situation, nearly half of the six people have this rare situation, which is enough to show the feasibility of this law.

"Could it be that among these six people, have they been exposed to something suspicious, or is there some ulterior secret between them?" Qi Tian turned his head to look at Gu Chen.

Gu Chen rubbed his face and said, "I don't rule out this possibility, because among these six people, nearly half of them have this kind of suspicious situation, which means that someone is going to target them." ”

"And this person, most likely out of the six, or the remaining three?"

"Senior Brother Qi, it's good to be able to reason about this step, and I can't rule out other possibilities, such as this Ah Fu, he looks a little weird......"

"Then we must protect Professor Li, Professor Wang, and Professor Peng now from being plotted. Qi Tian interrupted: "Pay special attention to this Ah Fu, he is still the most suspicious." ”

Gu Chen smiled and said, "Then let's live here tonight, we have to be energetic at night, besides, the archaeological base can't be stopped, everything is ...... as usual."

As soon as he spoke, Gu Chen suddenly noticed that under the action of the sun, there were some broken glass fragments under the folding bed.

If it weren't for the refraction of sunlight, I'm afraid I would have almost ignored this detail.

"What is this?" Gu Chen squatted down, put on gloves, and pinched one of them in his hand.

"It should be a broken bottle, right? These people are really, since they live in an old house and don't clean it, what if they want to pierce people?"

As soon as Qi Tian wanted to get the broom at the door, he was stopped by Gu Chen: "Senior Brother Qi, don't worry about this for now, I think it's better to take it back and study it." ”

"What is there to study the glass shards?" Originally, Qi Tian wanted to sweep the glass shards aside, but seeing Gu Chen staring at him with a serious face, he still hesitated for a moment and changed his words: "Okay, let's take some back." ”

"I'll leave this to me. Gu Chen took out a small forensic bag, then took out a long pair of tweezers, put all these fragments into the forensic bag, and labeled them with numbers.

At this time, Professor Li pushed the door and walked in, and asked, "Officer Qi, Officer Gu, just now I saw that you asked Ah Fu to come out early, did you ask anything?"

"Not yet. Qi Tian patted Professor Li embarrassedly and said, "But please rest assured, Professor Li, we will live here tonight to protect your safety, and you can let everyone continue to work." ”

"What...... What? You policemen want to live here?" Professor Li suddenly laughed: "But it doesn't work, if you don't investigate the reason, everyone is not sure." ”

"That's why we decided to stay here and investigate the cause and effect. Gu Chen suddenly walked up to Professor Li and smiled slightly.

"Alright, I'll go talk to you again, and then ask someone to arrange a place for you to stay. As soon as Professor Li turned around, he suddenly stopped again, turned around and said, "In addition, I want to send a car to send Xiao Zhang, Xiao He and Master Xiao to a big hospital to continue receiving expert treatment, what do you think?"

"Of course that's fine. Gu Chen readily agreed: "If necessary, our police can help contact this matter." ”

"Then thank you so much to Officer Gu and Officer Qi. Professor Li put his hands together, feeling that with the help of the police, perhaps the scientific expedition team could be reassured.

A few people walked out of the room and walked towards the central square.

This is a temporary resting place for everyone, and many tents are set up here.

There are also distribution vehicles in the vicinity, which are responsible for providing safe electricity for the workers stationed here, as well as providing logistical support for the smooth operation of the archaeological excavations.

On the way, Gu Chen casually asked, "Professor Li, in addition to the excavation of some broken porcelain at the site, do you have any other important discoveries?"

"This ......" Professor Li didn't expect Gu Chen to suddenly ask this, so he couldn't help but be dull for a moment, and said, "No, except for some broken porcelain, everything else is insignificant, but ......"

"But what?" Qi Tian hurriedly asked, for fear of missing out.

"But we did dig up a corpse, the body was bandaged, like a mummy, and with it was buried some trinkets, all of which we numbered and sealed, and most of them were transported to the provincial museum identification and restoration center. ”

"Then is there anything special about this corpse?" Gu Chen asked again.

"By the way, is this considered to be very big?" Professor Li also held his chin and began to recall the scene of the excavation at that time: "When it was unearthed, it really scared us, after all, it was the first time we encountered the burial method of wrapping the corpse with a strap, although the scene was wrapped with bones, and the bandages around the bones were also rotten, but those ornaments had their own merits, very exquisite." ”

"Did you take it all away? Gu Chen asked.

"Yes, after the excavation, we numbered all the objects, put them in professional boxes, and then sent someone to transport them, and now they should be in the Provincial Museum's Cultural Relics Identification and Restoration Center. Professor Li said in the affirmative.

This was what happened before, and of course Gu Chen and Qi Tian were not very clear.

Gu Chen nodded, looked at Professor Li beside him, pretended not to care, and said, "When it was unearthed, who were the main handlers?"

"Officer Gu. Professor Li suddenly stopped and asked, "What are you asking for?" Do you think these things have something to do with the corpse?"

"I don't mean anything else, Professor Li, I just want to know the situation on the scene, don't worry too much. Gu Chen couldn't explain it for the time being, and he didn't want to say too much to Professor Li, so he could only prevaricate a few words.

"Yes, Professor Li, who was operating when exhuming that corpse?" Qi Tian felt that Gu Chen's words had been said, so he could only echo them.

"Professor Wang, Professor Peng and I, as well as assistants Xiao Zhang and Xiao He, and the driver Master Xiao. Professor Li said.

At this moment, Gu Chen and Qi Tian's expressions and attitudes were very relaxed, which also made Professor Li not have too much pressure.

However, in fact, when Gu Chen and Qi Tian looked at each other, the two of them basically determined the approximate range.

That's right.

The exhumation of the corpse was indeed the responsibility of these people.

At this moment, three of the six of them fell.

That means that if there is any bizarre event that happens next, it will definitely happen between Professor Li, Professor Wang and Professor Peng.

"Is there something wrong with the corpse?" Gu Chen asked.

Professor Li shook his head: "No, we have all examined it, it is just an ordinary rotting corpse." ”

Afraid that Gu Chen and Qi Tian would not understand, Professor Li used his professional knowledge to popularize science again, meaning to tell the two that no toxic substances were detected from the corpses.

Because the excavated corpses have been transported to the provincial capital, there are many follow-up personnel.

Of course, Professor Li was aware of the police's concerns, but he still used his professional knowledge to deny them.

When the three of them came to the square, Professor Li took the lead in entering a tent, turned on the loudspeaker, and began to shout to everyone.

The content is probably that the police will move in, protect everyone's lives, and let everyone go back to work.

After all, the scheduled press conference date is approaching.

This time, not only media reporters from Jiangnan City were present, but even media reporters from the provincial capital and some fraternal units in other provinces also knew about the news.

The Provincial Museum arranged outreach and publicity for the scientific expedition team.

The scientific expedition team is responsible for excavating valuable cultural relics, and the two sides cooperate in an orderly manner.

Professor Li's attitude at the moment is relaxed, and it also makes others feel relaxed.

Everyone once again gathered around the square, chatting about the announcement.

"Professor Li is determined to stay here. ”

"We can go, but he can't, he's the leader, and if you want to blame him, he'll definitely be the first to blame." ”

"What if the police are coming? Protecting our lives? It feels very dangerous to hear that. ”

"That guy must have to protest again, he's the most against being here, this guy has been thinking about going home soon. ”

"Well, since the police are stationed here to provide us with security at night, then we have to work and work, and what will we eat if we don't work?"

"Yes, I have two children to raise, so let's go to work. ”

"Walked away. ”

Under the effect of the broadcast, many of the workers who had previously stopped working to cool off in various places picked up their tools and walked to the archaeological pit again.

The archaeological base, which had been silent, was once again lively.

Turning off the microphone, Professor Li turned around and said, "Thank you, Officer Gu, Officer Qi." ”

"You're welcome. Gu Chen smiled and said, "You guys pay more attention to safety, I have to go to the city first, and I will return to the archaeological base before dinner, so please rest assured." ”

"That's okay, our logistics chef here is very skilled, and dinner is here. Professor Li said.

After a brief greeting with a few people, Gu Chen was going to take the broken glass first and go to Forensic Doctor Liu of the Technical Department of the Municipal Bureau to study it.

And overtime at night is inevitable.

He is most worried about the safety of Professor Li, Professor Wang and Professor Peng.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen suddenly looked nervous, and hurriedly asked, "By the way, Professor Li, why did I only see you here today, where are Professor Peng and Professor Wang?"

"yes, I was still wondering, I didn't see these two people much all morning. Qi Tian was reminded by Gu Chenyi, and he also said.

"One is going to the city to buy something, and the other is going to the provincial capital, and he may come back that night. Seeing that Gu Chen and Qi Tian looked serious, Professor Li said again, "What's wrong?"

"In other words, can you come back before the evening?" Gu Chen asked.

"Yes, everyone will return to the uninhabited village in the evening. Professor Li said.

Although Gu Chen didn't know if his guess was accurate, he always felt that the three people, including Professor Li, gave people an uneasy mood.

Gu Chen nodded secretly.

As a result, the whereabouts of the three were scattered.

If the person who started with the assistant Xiao Zhang, Xiao He and Master Xiao is one of the three, then there is no need to worry about the workload tonight.

Externally, Gu Chen and Qi Tian said that they would protect everyone's safety, but in fact, as long as they kept an eye on these three people.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, Gu Chen drove Qi Tian back to the Haitang Police Station, and then drove to the Technical Department of the Municipal Bureau alone, preparing to hand over the glass fragments collected at the scene to Forensic Doctor Liu of the Technical Department for identification.

And in the room just now, Gu Chen also had a certain understanding of the general layout of the scene, and had already hand-drawn a topographic map of the scene.

According to this, Gu Chen can use his entry-level imagination to simulate a real scene and incorporate some of his judgments.
