Chapter 118: Suspicion in the Dungeon
After Song Xiaoshuang walked back to the room, he casually threw the satellite phone with the antenna to Liang Li, and after seeing Liang Li's speed with one hand, Song Xiaoshuang sat back on the plastic chair just now, picked up the enamel cup with red wine on the table, raised his neck and drank it dry in two sips as if he was drinking water.
Later, after Song Xiaoshuang's palm shook against another bottle of red wine on the table that had not been opened, the fingers of one hand grabbed the bottleneck of the wine bottle like picking a grape on the vine, and the bottleneck of the glass wine bottle appeared to be abruptly disconnected from the wine bottle without making a sound!
Song Xiaoshuang also gently put the broken bottleneck in the corner of the table, and put it together with the other bottleneck that Liang Li had just broken with Gu Wuqi, and poured half a cup of red wine into his enamel cup as if no one was around, picked up a piece of pancake from the tray on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, only to see the pancake in the corner of his mouth and the squirming hand continued to decrease, not to mention the eating appearance, and Dr. Fan Chaoran, who was eating pancakes and looked "Sven", could not be compared at all.
Liang Li, who was putting the satellite phone in the trouser pocket of her training uniform with one hand, just glanced at Song Xiaoshuang with a slight white eye, picked up a slightly thin piece of pancake with one hand, and paid attention to the two doctors, Konstantin and Fan Chaoran, while eating.
Liang Li has long been accustomed to Song Xiaoshuang's ruffian habits, and she knows a lot about Song Xiaoshuang's experience of dying all her life.
In extreme times, Song Xiaoshuang will not let go of all kinds of food that can be eaten, snakes, insects, rats and ants are all food sources for the stomach, and it is already very good to eat pancakes made of whole wheat flour with fruit filling and meat filling.
Sima Yuru beside her also knew that Song Xiaoshuang never paid attention to eating when he ate, and he had nothing to speak of, and he broke the bottleneck of the wine bottle without leaking his voice and making an obvious sound, Sima Yuru also had the right to pour red wine into the ceramic cup in front of her as if he hadn't seen it.
However, Song Xiaoshuang's faint exposure of his hand did make Dr. Constantine and Dr. Fan Chaoran feel incredible, Song Xiaoshuang's skills are no longer the height that simple ancient martial arts practitioners can reach, only the legendary wizards with strange abilities can get out!
At first glance, it seemed that the bottleneck of the glass wine bottle was cut off without the slightest sound, and Song Xiaoshuang's technique was a bit like a strange magic trick, but the two doctors knew that this was not a magic show at all.
The two doctors who were eating the pancake over the red wine, after looking at each other, Dr. Constantine drank the little red wine left in the ceramic cup, and when he carried the wine bottle to pour wine into the enamel cup, the pancake in his hand did not stuff it into his mouth, but spoke quickly and in a low voice in Chinese: "We didn't tell Isabel what the real thorny problem is, in fact, the underground structure of the royal tomb covers a large area, except for some places with invisible obstacles that cannot be passed, In addition to some strange underground creatures, more than ten cultural scholars from various countries who came to Gao City this time were trapped in a specific area of the underground structure of the royal tomb and could not get out, and the longest time has been several days."
When Dr. Constantine spoke, Song Xiaoshuang had already swallowed a piece of pancake rolled into a roll in three or two, drank the red wine in one hand with a ceramic cup, and said in a low voice with a strange expression on his face: "Dr. Constantine, Isabel told me that you are a paleontologist, if my memory is not wrong, Dr. Fan Chaoran is an authority in virology, and the main research direction in China is human virology, which does not coincide with the news broadcast by the Malian national radio station, and the expert team engaged in the study of heritage culture, Although it is possible to assign a biologist or virologist to do relevant extended research, it is not normal for paleontologists and virologists to get together at all, and the obvious news is only that the expert team members of UNESCO have arrived in Gao for the second time, and have deliberately superimposed your own identity on the expert team that secretly rushed to Gao City for the first time, so that the outside world thinks that the team only arrived in Gao City this morning, and without a simple and direct explanation, it will not be able to help you."
Hearing Song Xiaoshuang directly point out the true identities of the two doctors, Dr. Konstantin did not show any abnormality, in his mind, Song Xiaoshuang was a wizard with real materials introduced by Isabel, and Isabel told Song Xiaoshuang that his identity as a paleontologist was normal.
And Dr. Fan Chaoran, who has always been low-key and deep-eyed and a scholarly person, feels different, listening to the meaning of Song Xiaoshuang's words, Song Xiaoshuang knew the existence of the doctor before, and clearly remembered that the doctor was a virologist, but Dr. Fan Chaoran had no impression of Song Xiaoshuang at all before today, and said in a puzzled tone and quickly: "In which university did you listen to my class?" Or do you work for that research unit? ”
"I just happened to see a research report document on human viruses"
After Song Xiaoshuang took a sip of red wine, he said with a disappreliant expression.
Hearing Song Xiaoshuang say this, Dr. Fan Chaoran was even more puzzled, and couldn't understand how Song Xiaoshuang got his research academic report documents, Dr. Fan Chaoran began to feel that Song Xiaoshuang was not just a wizard, and many of Dr. Fan Chaoran's research topics in China were secret and not public, and they could not be seen in academic journals at all.
"Well, Dr. Fan Chaoran, now is not the time to discuss the academic report documents, we need to hurry up and get people out of the underground structures of the royal tomb."
Dr. Konstantin had a grim look on his face, and his voice was low in Chinese. Dr. Fan Chaoran then came back to his senses and said in a slow voice: "That's right, the special office of UNESCO in Gao City has been coordinating its expert research scholars, and a few days ago, the first batch of cultural research experts from various countries who received the rescue research and excavation mission rushed to Gao City in a low-key manner."
It turned out that as early as a few months ago, since the extremist rebel forces were driven out by the resurgence of the Malian government army and the French army, and the government army and the French army recaptured the city of Gao, various United Nations agencies quickly carried out various activities in the city.
With the UNHCR, WFP, the Office for Human Rights, and so on, plus the United Nations peacekeeping force and various observers from the African Union, the League of Arab States, and the United Nations, the city of Gao is the city with the largest number of United Nations staff in eastern Mali.
After the situation in the city of Gao was basically stabilized, UNESCO also set up a special office in the city to coordinate and assign its top scientists to participate in the restoration and reconstruction of the damaged buildings and structures in the ancient city of Gao.
According to the arrangement of UNESCO's special office in the city of Gao, more than a dozen top scientists from all over the world have marked the most urgent and valuable restoration, which is the Tomb No. 3 in the desert gentle mountain area a few kilometers directly north of the city.
Legend has it that the No. 3 Tomb is the Songhai Empire, the early burial of an emperor and many princesses, originally has been opened up into a tourist project in the city of Gao, tourists from all over the world can visit the tomb is located on the slow mountain of the dilapidated buildings on the ground, that is, some stone bungalows, the walls of the bungalows have a variety of mysterious and strange prayer spells and symbols.
As for whether the No. 3 royal tomb is a real royal tomb or a pure clothed tomb, it is only a question that the Malian government department should consider, the value of the royal tomb lies in the sense of mystery, and the so-called scientific research value of excavating the well-preserved underground structure area of the royal tomb is obviously a short-sighted behavior, whether the No. 3 royal tomb is a real royal tomb or just a clothed tomb, because the ban on not being able to excavate at will has been maintained until the war in Mali, and there are special guards.
After the war in Mali, the entire political situation in Mali has collapsed, and when the extremist rebel armed forces were at their strongest, they occupied the vast desert area between the three cities of Timbuktu, Gao and Kidal for a year (the Tuareg tribal armed alliance nominally occupied a vast area in the north and east of Mali, but in fact lacked confidence, and finally led to the occupation of the three cities of Timbuktu by the extremist rebel armed forces), and the extremist rebel armed members who pursued extremist ideas wantonly talked about various ancient buildings and structures in the three cities of Timbuktu, Gao and Kidal. The well-known No. 3 Tomb of the King naturally did not escape the deliberate destruction of the armed forces of the extreme rebels.
The dilapidated buildings on the top of the hill at the Wang's Mausoleum did not escape the devastation of the bomb explosion, although it has a United Nations cultural protection symbol.
The location of the underground structure passage of the royal tomb has also been partially found by the armed members of the extreme rebels, and two stone corridors leading to the underground palace in the core area of the underground structure were blown up with explosives, just because the layout of the No. 3 royal tomb is more complex than imagined, and there are extremely strange things happening, the armed members of the extreme rebels have lost some manpower in vain and have not dug into the underground palace, and in a short period of time faded the idea of continuing to dig the underground palace to find various treasures, and used explosives to re-block the entrances of the two stone cloister passages, In the later period, the armed forces of the extreme rebels were greatly damaged, and no one mentioned the idea of excavating the No. 3 royal tomb again.
After the city of Gao was recaptured by government forces and the French army, and the United Nations peacekeeping troops were stationed, the special office of the UNESCO institution in the city of Gao had long wanted to use the banner of rescue excavation of the No. 3 royal tomb, or at least to find out whether the royal tomb was a well-dressed tomb.
After many rounds of negotiations and negotiations with the Malian government, both sides made their own concessions, and in exchange for UNESCO taking the lead in repairing and maintaining the buildings and structures of great value that were damaged in the ancient city of Gao, the scientists under the UNESCO Institute will go deep into the underground palace of the No. 3 Royal Tomb to find out.
