Chapter 84: Hidden Deeply
"Hey, why did you only say half a sentence?!" Professor Cui asked.
"It's nothing, it's imperative to find a way to get out of here, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it later," Zhou Xiaolong looked at Professor Cui and continued, "Before I came here, the police had already intervened, but we moved the location, even if the police could trace the cornfield, I am afraid it would be difficult to find our traces......"
"Alas...... That cornfield is gone......" Professor Cui said with a sigh.
"Professor Cui, what do you mean by that?!" Zhou Xiaolong asked puzzled.
"Last night, the thieves found you, and they feared that the location was exposed, and then they burned the whole cornfield, and followed their reserved escape route, loaded us into stuffy tankers, and brought us all the way here, alas, I don't know what this place is?"
The reason for the matter is basically clear, but Zhou Xiaolong still can't figure out one thing, why didn't these people solve him and Professor Cui in that small courtyard, threw him in the cornfield, set fire to it and burned it together, and there were no clues, wouldn't it be more suitable for these outlaws' way of committing crimes?
"Young man, what are you thinking?!" Professor Cui saw Zhou Xiaolong frowning and thinking about his thoughts, so he asked, "You say, can we still have a way to escape?!" ”
"I'm wondering, why did these people tie us up here, why didn't they just kill people in the cornfield?!"
"Because, they still have a place where they can use me......"
After saying this, Professor Cui smiled bitterly.
Professor Cui has always been obsessed with archaeology, and although there are many ancient tombs, there are very few unexplored ancient tombs.
Professor Cui has been working in the Department of Archaeology, but for so many years, he has been studying the theories in books, which is considered to be on paper, and he has never had the opportunity to personally participate in the excavation of ancient tombs.
It has been more than 30 years since he came to Jinhai University in the 80s, and Professor Cui has not participated in a single field archaeological operation, as a senior professor of the Department of Archaeology, he is also ashamed.
Now that Professor Cui is 70 years old, he is not reconciled in his heart, and he very much hopes that he can have a chance to witness the whole process of the development of the ancient tomb once in his lifetime.
If he could participate in it, Professor Cui would be willing to die, so he was fooled by this group of thieves and was confused.
Although this group of thieves is smart and cunning, they are not as good as Professor Cui for knowledge such as tomb visiting, and they need Professor Cui to guide them.
For example, the location of the entrance to the robbery cave in the cornfield and the location of the tomb door were all found by Professor Cui when he was forced to do so.
Therefore, it is not difficult to imagine the reason why these thieves did not get rid of Professor Cui, and it is indeed that there is still a place where Professor Cui can be used.
The two of them were talking, when suddenly there was a sound of unlocking the door, and the two of them immediately shut up and distanced themselves.
The one who came in was the big man who was called Lao Hei, he raised his hand, pointed at Zhou Xiaolong, and said, "You, come out, our boss wants to see you!" ”
Zhou Xiaolong stood up very calmly, took two steps forward, and then glanced back at Professor Cui, the two of them blinked secretly, and then, Zhou Xiaolong followed Lao Hei out of the room.
The courtyard here is very large, like a farm for prisoners to work on, and walk through the whole yard to the other side, where there is a relatively large house.
Lao Hei pushed Zhou Xiaolong and said, "Go in, be honest!" ”
As soon as he entered the room, Zhou Xiaolong looked up and saw that there was a square table in front of him, there were three people, one sitting behind the square table, and one standing on the left and right beside him, all of them were men.
The one who was sitting, looking about fifty years old, with a fair face, wearing a pair of glasses, and a string of red sandalwood prayer beads in his hand, looked very civil, like an intellectual.
But the two men standing behind the middle-aged man, with dark and rough skin, looked like they were fierce and vicious.
When Zhou Xiaolong stood still, Sven's middle-aged man smiled at Zhou Xiaolong and nodded, and Zhou Xiaolong also nodded at him.
Zhou Xiaolong saw that there was a mobile phone on the desktop, which was his own local tyrant Jin Da mobile phone.
"Little brother, what's your surname?" The middle-aged man spoke first.
"If you have something to say, just say it, no need to detour!" Zhou Xiaolong said impatiently.
"Okay," the middle-aged man looked Zhou Xiaolong up and down, and said bluntly, "You have a ring on your hand, if I'm not mistaken, that silver ring should be a magic weapon...... Last night when you were unconscious, I wanted to take the ring off, but it was like it was on your body, and I couldn't take it off...... Moreover, the ring still heats up, as hot as coals, and burns my hands, but it is safe and sound on your hands...... It shouldn't be ordinary for someone to have such a magic weapon, what kind of person are you, come to my field to make trouble, so what's the matter?! ”
Hearing this person's words, Zhou Xiaolong immediately understood that this person still didn't know anything about his coming to rescue Professor Cui.
Zhou Xiaolong thought of Uncle Bai Zimo's words, wandering the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes are sinister, you can't always tell the truth, and those who always tell the truth will often suffer losses.
So, Zhou Xiaolong thought quickly, calculated in his heart, and followed the man's question and made up a lie.
Zhou Xiaolong raised the ring on his hand, shook it in front of the man, and sneered before saying, "This gentleman, since you have discovered and seen that this ring is not an ordinary object, can't you still guess that you and I are people in the same way......
After hearing Zhou Xiaolong say such an ambiguous sentence, the middle-aged man actually stood up, approached Zhou Xiaolong, and asked in a low voice, "Could it be ...... You are...... Zhao Gongshan's people?! ”
Zhao Gongshan, could it be that these tomb robbers are also related to that Zhao Gongshan?!
Zhou Xiaolong's heart struck, he had never seen Zhao Gongshan, but he had heard such a name more than once.
Although he didn't know Zhao Gongshan, Zhou Xiaolong couldn't shake his head, whether he could escape with Professor Cui from here, it seemed that this Zhao Gongshan was a key and turning point.
"Are you talking?!" The middle-aged man urged impatiently.
This question is actually quite difficult to answer, first of all, Zhou Xiaolong doesn't know whether Zhao Gongshan and this group of people are friends or enemies, and secondly, if he admits to knowing Zhao Gongshan, then when it comes to Zhao Gongshan's situation, Zhou Xiaolong still can't answer......
Oops, what to do?
Sooner or later, it is better to answer in a muddy and vague way, and let the other party guess for himself.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaolong smiled, deliberately laughing unfathomably, he pondered for a long time before saying: "There are some things I can say, some things I can't say, there are rules in every way, since you have a guess in your heart, sir, why do you bother to ask?" ”
The middle-aged man didn't expect Zhou Xiaolong to answer himself like this, his eyes rolled, and he laughed a few times before he said: "If you want to talk about my friendship with Zhao Gongshan, we met twenty years ago, and I didn't stand on my own at that time, Zhao Gongshan did help me a lot, and I was also grateful...... However, since I have set up my own door, and I also have a group of brothers under my command who need me to support, so I started the tomb a little faster, and I rushed in front of Zhao Gongshan, and I really didn't want to go...... But it's nothing, when the porcelain in my hand is sold, I will wrap a big red envelope for Zhao Gongshan after all, you think this is good?! ”
The more Zhou Xiaolong listened, the more he understood, it seemed that this group of thieves was originally with Zhao Gongshan, and later ate alone, so he was afraid that Zhao Gongshan would find someone to take revenge on them, so he regarded Zhou Xiaolong, who suddenly appeared, as an eyeliner sent by Zhao Gongshan......
At this point, this should be more or less the case.
Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaolong seemed to have a bottom in his heart, for the sake of Zhao Gongshan's face, these tomb robbers probably didn't dare to do anything to Zhou Xiaolong and Professor Cui for the time being.
