At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Tian Dongmin, an old expert from the Qinshan Municipal Cultural Relics Bureau, rushed to the scene, and after inspecting the excavated items at the scene, he said to Zhao Yu:

"Here's ...... There could be a temple!"

One sentence made Zhao Yu and the others stunned, like falling into a fog.

"Temple!?" Because of curiosity, Cui Lizhu even missed the last helicopter back to Qinshan, and still stayed at the scene, "Is it the kind of temple that burns incense?"

"That's right," Tian Dongmin said, pointing to the first unicorn excavated, "This thing is called a hedgehog, and the type and material of the vessel should be the kind of rui beast embedded in the eaves!"

"And these ......," he said, pointing to a few broken stone beasts that had been excavated later, as well as various tiles and bricks, "these are the materials used in ancient buildings!"

"Inside the mountain, what else can it be besides the temple?"

"There used to be a ......temple on this hillside," Zhao Yu said, pinching his waist, "why has no one ever told us?

"The landslide washed away the temple," Miao Ying pondered, "and the landslide happened in the early '90s...... It means that the temple has been buried underneath for nearly 30 years, and it is located deep in the forest, so if it is unknown, it seems reasonable, right?"

Temples, wells, corpses......

Zhao Yu couldn't help but scratch his head, he thought that if he dug up something below, there would be significant progress in the case, but now it seems that it is even more confusing.

"Professor Tian," Miao Ying asked, pointing to the excavated items, "Can you determine the age of this temple?"

"Well......" Tian Dongmin looked at the excavated items carefully and said, "Judging from the shape of the artifact, it won't be too long, at most it will be the end of the Qing Dynasty, or the Republic of China." ”

"I think it's also ......," Cui Lizhu said, "If it's rough enough, it's definitely not worth it!"

"I think it's probably a mountain temple, right?" Professor Tian said, "In the area near the inhabited Qinling Mountains, many mountain temples have been found before, and they are all very small in scale.

"This has a certain relationship with the terroir and culture of Longxi.

"In fact, it should not be difficult to understand that the residents of the coastal areas believe in the sea god Niangniang, so of course we mountain people are in awe of the mountain god.

"In order to pray for good weather or to be able to catch prey, people build mountain temples deep in the mountains.

"Therefore, it is normal for a mountain temple to be excavated here. ”

"Mountain Temple...... Lin Chongxue Night Mountain Temple ......" Cui Lizhu patted her head, "Obediently, how did you remember that the Water Margin was returned?"

"So...... Is it big or not?" Miao Ying asked again, pointing to the bottom of the deep pit.

"I can't say, but in such a remote mountain, it shouldn't be that big, right?" Professor Tian asked curiously after analyzing it, "By the way, aren't you criminal police......?" Found another case related to archaeology?

"This girl is right," he pointed at Cui Lizhu and then at the pig, "This kind of crude folk product is not very old, and it has no collection value." ”

"Well, anyway...... Zhao Yu said, "You have to work hard! We have to dig overnight tonight, and if we dig up anything more, you have to help identify it!"

"Okay, no problem, no problem, you saved my life," Tian Dongmin politely said to Zhao Yu and Miao Ying, "I will do my best in public and private!"

"Thank you!"

After Miao Ying said politely, the three of them left Professor Tian and went to the side of the excavation site instead.

"That's amazing," Cui Lizhu asked Zhao Yu curiously, "You two also saved his life?" Can you tell me about it?

"Of course, I fought with your sister Miao against tomb robbers, and also found the Golden Buddha that had been missing for hundreds of years, and saved the old expert by the way," Zhao Yu said with a blushing face and a heartbeat, "However, I, Zhao Yu, take it as my responsibility to save the common people, and I have saved many people, so I have nothing to be proud of." ”

"Okay, now is not the time to talk about this," Miao Ying said to Cui Lizhu with a serious face, "Xiao Cui, since you missed the last helicopter back to Qinshan, will you still go to Fu'an tomorrow?"

"If you don't go, I'll let Wu Xiumin pass. ”

"Go, you have to go!" Cui Lizhu said, "Sister Wu still has to find the identity of the No. 3 deceased!"

"In this way, I will go with the people from the forest ranger station tomorrow, go from here to Xixia Province, and then take a long-distance bus directly from Zhangze, and then I can go to Fu'an, which is faster!"

"Well, that's fine!" Zhao Yu pointed to the tent in the distance, "Tonight, let's stay in the wilderness for another night!"

......

On the hillside, more than a dozen generators roar to provide electric lighting to the excavation site.

At this time, it was already 8 o'clock in the evening, and the officers and men of the armed police were still digging the scene in full swing.

The pit was gradually dug from more than 20 meters to more than 30 meters.

Further down, they unearthed more building materials, such as bricks, tiles, and stone pillars, and the situation became clearer as they dug more and more.

Professor Tian Dongmin's guess was right, and there was indeed an old temple buried under the hillside.

Moreover, through the comparison of the unearthed items, the professor is also more convinced that this is a mountain temple built in the Republic of China, or in the early days of liberation.

"Let me guess first, ...... first" At this moment, in a certain tent on the side of the hillside, Cui Lizhu took Zhao Yu's notebook and said, "Since the murderer dug a well from here and buried the deceased alive in the well, then ...... Surely this person knows that there is a mountain temple buried under the hillside?

"So...... Why did he kill people?" Cui Lizhu drew a big question mark on her notebook, "Could it be ...... Is it possible to say that there are still living sacrifices in the mountain temple?"

"Hey, don't scribble," Zhao Yu snatched the notebook, "This is my notebook, what are you drawing?"

"The landslide was 30 years ago, which means that the murderer in this case must be 30 years old or older, but ......" Cui Lizhu continued to pinch her chin and guess, "If you have any feelings with the mountain temple, it means that when the landslide, he already has to be 10 or 20 years old......

That is to say...... The murderer should be in his forties or fifties, or older!"

"The point is...... Why kill people?" Zhao Yu said, "Miao Ying and I guessed before that the murderer wanted revenge, so the deceased must have offended the murderer before his death!"

"But...... Mountain Temple...... How many meanings do you have?"

"You say...... Will it ......" Cui Lizhu used her brain, "The landslide is not a natural disaster, but an accident?"

"Accidents?"

"For example...... Did the four deceased use explosives to blow up the mountain and cause the landslide?"

"Bomb the mountain?" Zhao Yu scratched his head, "There is no mine in the mountain, what kind of mountain is blown up?"

As soon as Zhao Yugang finished speaking, his walkie-talkie suddenly rang.

"Zhao Yu, Zhao Yu ......" Miao Ying's voice came from the walkie-talkie, "Don't be busy analyzing the case first, let's call Zhang Peipei quickly!"

"What's wrong?" Zhao Yu was surprised, "Where are you?"

"I'm in the pit! Come and take a look!" Miao Ying said hurriedly, "It turns out that it's not just the mountain temple buried in the soil!"
