Chapter 174: Strange Shadow and Suspicion
Chapter 174: Strange Shadows and Suspicious Clouds
"Empty graves?" I was surprised and said, "How is this possible, isn't this princess tomb also quite recorded in history, and it is buried Princess Zhuang Jing Heshuo and Princess Zhuang Jing Gulun, isn't it a matter of a long time ago?" I asked.
"Indeed, a lot of documents have been unearthed in the tomb, and two epitaphs have been found, but there are no coffins, the two main burial chambers are obviously empty, and the bodies of the two princesses have not been found." Professor Nan said.
"Could it be that a tomb robber stole the bodies of the two princesses?" Yun Ximing asked, "When studying ancient corpses abroad, there are many records about robbing corpses, the value of corpses and the extreme fascination of some collectors with ancient corpses, it is that ancient corpses have a market and price in the auction world, and they are strange goods, especially when the embalming measures of some ancient corpses are particularly perfect, the preservation of ancient corpses will be very intact, and such ancient corpses are even more difficult to find." However, the corpse is the core of the whole tomb, and the corpse often carries a more eerie atmosphere, which deserves the reverence of all archaeologists. Therefore, there are very few professional groups that publicly display ancient corpses, so the ancient corpses on the market now, without exception, are all from the hands of tomb robbers. "Yun Ximing is an expert in ancient corpse research, and when he talks about his profession, he talks endlessly.
What Yun Ximing said seems to me to have a certain possibility, the theft of corpses does not only happen in ancient tombs, many people may feel that it is useless to put a terrible and terrifying ancient corpse at home, but there are many uses for corpses. Ancient corpses are an important basis for archaeologists to study human history, and the historical value of the corpses is much higher than that of the cultural relics that accompany the burial. At the same time, many corpses that have just died will also be regarded by medical maniacs as good for autopsy tests. What's more, in many remote areas, there are still many superstitious people who engage in ghost marriages, so corpses are far more useful than you think. I nodded, agreeing with Yun Ximing's statement.
"The possibility you mentioned does exist, but it is not possible in the princess's tomb, because it is impossible to transport something as big as a coffin out of the robbery hole, and there is no trace of a coffin in that tomb at all, if a coffin of such a size was once placed in the tomb, after being moved. It is impossible not to leave any traces. But in the main chamber of the princess's tomb, this is it, there is no trace of the coffin. Kong Qing said.
"So that means there is no coffin in this ancient tomb at all? Is this a well-dressed mound? Yun Ximing asked.
"Nope. It may not be considered a well-dressed mound either. Clothed mounds are often aimed at people whose bodies have no way to be buried. The burial mound which I set up to replace with the same thing before I was alive. The clothes mound is generally not too gorgeous, but the specifications of the burial goods in the princess's tomb are much higher than the so-called clothes mound, which is completely the specifications of the princess's burial. So it must not be a well-dressed mound. And even if it is a clothed mound, there will be objects that replace the corpse and be buried in the coffin, but no, we don't even see the shadow of the coffin. The mound will be placed after the body has been severely damaged or it cannot be buried outside because it has been lost, but the dignified royal princess can't think of how she could think that there is no corpse and set up the mound of clothes. So from these points, it seems that the possibility of a well-dressed mound is not very likely. Kong Qing said.
The theories put forward have been overturned again and again, and we are all at a loss, and it is really difficult to explain the fact that there is no body in the princess's grave. At this time, Wang Na tugged at the corner of my clothes.
"Miss Yinyin, if there is no body in the princess's grave, why can't we directly report that there is no corpse, why would the central government let us keep it a secret and insist that everything is normal in the princess's grave?" Wang Na asked.
"It's actually quite easy to understand." I whispered, "What would happen if one of your elders died, and many years later you found the body in the grave gone?" I asked.
"Then you can't be scared to death?!" Wang Na said.
"So, if the public knows about the princess's grave, let alone the people, even the media and public opinion don't know how many articles to make, the power of the people is often easily misled, and once this misdirection and suspicion is amplified, it is easy to get out of control, so I can understand that the central government made such a decision." I say.
"Yes, now that this strange shadow has appeared near the princess's grave or something, it has already caused a lot of panic, if the people know that there is no body in the princess's grave, it will be even more speculative." Wang Na said with emotion.
"Who mentioned the strange shadow of the princess's grave just now?" Professor Nan heard the words I had talking to Wang Na and asked suddenly.
"It's my ......," Wang Na replied in a whisper.
"I'm going to talk to you about that, about the weird shadows." Professor Nan said, "I know what you are capable of, so Yin Yin, I want you to go to Beijing for a long time, maybe you can help us solve this strange thing." ”
"I've been arranging this matter, originally we were to assist in the investigation of this matter, there is no reason to stay out of the matter, if it weren't for the previous cultural relics transfer incident, I would have investigated this matter in Beijing, I originally thought it was just a rumor from the public, but I didn't expect things to develop to this point, by the way, about that kind of shadow surveillance video, do you have it?" I asked.
"That's what I'm going to show you." Professor Nan motioned for Kong Qing to show us a video.
This video is just a simple surveillance video, it should be the surveillance video of the princess tomb scenic spot, the quality of the picture is not very high, it is the kind of old-fashioned camera taken down, and the picture is a little blurry. I have also watched a lot of these surveillance videos, and the quality of the shooting is really not flattering, and the faces of tourists coming and going are blurred. Now the time on the screen is night, the princess's tomb is empty, the dim light reflects an ancient tomb very weird, we are just a group of people staring at the screen, the picture has not changed at all, the time display in the upper right corner is 23:50, until the time becomes 00:00, the picture has not changed, Kong Qing pressed the pause button.
"What's the situation? You're showing me...... Scenery? Dazhe asked puzzled.
"Fatty, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, this is a comparative analysis, this video should be a surveillance video when there is no strange shadow, and the next thing should be to show us the video with a strange shadow." Yun Ximing said, Kong Qing nodded on the side.
"You know better!" Dazhe said unconvinced.
"Alright, let's move on." Kong Qing said that she clicked on another video, and the beginning of this video was the same as the one just now, quiet night, dim lights, and a scenic area with no people, but suddenly, the whole picture turned into a snowflake, and there was also a harsh sound. Wang Na and Li Yunning covered their ears, and my eardrums were a little tingling, but I didn't react as strongly as others, and this sound seemed a little familiar to me. It's not because I've heard it before, it's because it doesn't feel like a noise to me. It's like you get bored when you hear noise, but you don't hear people somewhere else speak in a dialect that you don't understand, because you know from the bottom of your heart that it's probably not a noise, and the sound is, to me, kind of like some kind of dialect that we don't understand.
When the video was over, everyone seemed to be relieved.
"What's going on? Broken monitoring equipment? Min Lan asked puzzled.
"It's a distraction." Uncle Lu, who had been silent, suddenly said, "I learned to use a radio when I was in the Marine Corps, and this situation should be interfered with by some kind of radio waves." Uncle Lu said.
"This comrade is right, it is true, we have checked the monitoring equipment, and even replaced the new monitoring equipment, which is currently the most advanced monitoring equipment in China, let's take a look." Kong Qing said that she clicked on another video.
It's exactly the same as the previous video, the picture first turned into a snowflake, and then it made a screeching sound, the only difference is that this time the picture is much clearer, so it's not useless at all, at least I saw a vague and unclear human figure on the screen, but apparently everyone didn't notice this, they all covered their ears, trying to escape the unpleasant harsh sound.
We watched a total of three such videos, all of which were clear shots, and then snowflakes appeared, and then there were screeching sounds. Finally, Dazhe couldn't stand it anymore and protested.
"I said, Comrade Kong, can we let go of our ears and watch it so many times, do we still have to learn this strange sound, and then communicate with this ghost friend of ours? In fact, we have Yin Yin, don't be so troublesome, just send Yin Yin to negotiate with them, tell them not to mess around too much, don't come out in the middle of the night to scare people...... "Dazhe is most afraid of this kind of thing, and when it comes to this kind of time, he will not choose to speak."
"Director Kui, do you see something?" Kong Qing asked.
"From my point of view, I can only say that I can be sure that this is my field, but I don't know exactly what it is, and I need to go to the site to confirm." I say.
"What about other than this? Do you see anything else? There was still a little disappointment in Kong Qing's tone.
"What else do you see? Comrade Kong, this screen is full of snowflakes, what else do we need to see? Dazhe asked in a daze.
"Is it ......" Wang Na stopped when she wanted to speak.
"Isn't it? If anything comes to mind, say it. Kong Qing said encouragingly, and I also looked at Wang Na encouragingly, he always felt that he was a small role in this team, but she was always able to see some details at critical moments that I was afraid that I would not pay attention to.
"Isn't it time? The time in the upper right corner is always the same, starting at eleven fifty and ending at twelve in the middle of the night. (To be continued......)
