A couple of letters and an invitation.

Su Xian casually picked a letter from it and opened it.

The letter was sent in late June, so it should have been sent in early July.

And Augusta brought the wooden box to the test, which was the beginning of July.

There was a piece of paper in the letter, but there were also some information documents underneath the letter.

His heart moved slightly, and he unfolded the letter first.

The letter begins: "Dear Wal-Mart, I already have some eyebrows about what you asked me to investigate......"

Basically, it seems that Wal-Mart sent a letter to his colleagues in the royal capital in June, asking him to investigate clues about something in a database in the royal capital.

His colleague quickly found a clue and sent it over.

And then there were some polite words.

Su Xian removed the letter paper, revealing the information underneath.

At the top of the document is a photo - a picture of the wooden box!

And underneath the photo, is a newspaper.

The headline in the newspaper was circled with a pen and the headline read: "The famous explorer Mr. Lane led a team to conquer a thousand-year-old ruin, bringing out a large number of treasures from it." ”

The next piece of information is still a newspaper, still a headline.

The headline reads: "Mr. Ryan and his team announce that they will conduct an auction of relic treasures at the Royal Capital Auction House!" ”

The next document is still a newspaper.

But the place that is circled with the pen is a little lower.

The headline reads: "Stolen! Mysterious millennium wooden box! ”

This news is accompanied by a small picture, but it is the wooden box that Augusta brought!

……

"That wooden box, it was stolen?"

Seeing this, Su Xian couldn't help but feel extremely surprised.

His thinking up to now has always been based on "Augusta stole a wooden box from a thousand-year-old mausoleum", but he didn't expect that the real fact was that the wooden box was actually stolen from someone else's hands!

No wonder Augusta, when he came to them to identify the wooden box, he specifically requested that it be done at 1 a.m.

It turned out that he was going to identify stolen goods!

Professor Buck saw that his expression had changed, and he couldn't help asking, "Mark, what did you find?" ”

Su Xian didn't say much, he directly handed him the letter and materials, and then picked up the next letter to read.

The letter was still sent from the royal capital, but the sender was changed.

The letter was sent in late June, and it arrived in early July.

Open the envelope, unfold the stationery, and read it quickly.

Two minutes later, he put the letter down, finally knowing what to expect.

Wal-Mart had contact with Augusta in June, and had seen the wooden box, and he had identified something and noticed that the wooden box was special, but that was all, he was not good at translating ancient texts, and he had not been able to translate the information of the seal, and his heart was not greedy.

He then promised Augusta that he would introduce better experts to help him identify it, but at the same time he sent several letters to his colleagues or friends in the royal capital, asking them to help investigate the origin of the wooden box.

Augusta is a tomb robber, and he has nothing to do with the word "thief", and his credibility is not enough.

Wal-Mart had some friendship with him, but it also happened to know that he hadn't robbed the tomb recently, so he was suspicious of his statement, so he asked people to help investigate.

The result of the investigation is the same, Augusta is indeed a complete rat, and the wooden box is the stolen goods he has stolen!

At the same time, the arrival of another letter also let Wal-Mart know about the "thousand-year-old ruin".

In essence, the so-called thousand-year-old ruins are a mausoleum!

After all, explorers are a legitimate profession, and they sometimes explore tombs and dig up treasures, but they are unlikely to advertise themselves as tomb robbers, so they are usually referred to as "ruins".

By excavating the thousand-year-old mausoleum, they brought out many treasures, and antiquarians and historians rushed to identify them.

In such a frenzied atmosphere, those treasures were sold for sky-high prices in the royal auction house, and in the end they basically ended up in the hands of nobles and riches.

There was a wooden box - another wooden box that was exactly the same as the one that Augusta had stolen!

As the final easter egg and finale, the wooden box was auctioned off by a member of the royal family.

The member of the royal family opened the wooden box on the auction table on the spot and witnessed the opening of the treasure in the wooden box with all the people present.

What appeared in the wooden box was another elixir!

The so-called elixir of immortality is a kind of elixir that the emperor who called himself "I" used a giant monument to collect the beliefs of the people, then cast thousands of soul tripods, and refined the beliefs of the people with the fire of the soul, and finally refined a kind of divine pill.

In that wooden box, under the elixir of longevity, there was no parchment, but another one—the instruction manual.

Wangdu's best translator translated it on the spot on the auction table and read out the contents of the manual.

Eventually, the elixir was translated as "thousand-year-old medicine", which is said to be a miraculous thing that can prolong life.

……

Wal-Mart used this information to learn the value of the wooden box stolen by Augusta.

It was supposed to be daylight on the first of July.

He was greedy.

But he has not been so mad as to kill people and seize treasures, or even kill people to kill people.

As Professor Buck said, he wasn't originally a man who took human life as a matter of course.

……

Su Xian picked up the third letter.

This is a letter with a package attached.

However, the letter did not contain the sender's name and address.

This is obviously suspicious.

And it was the puppet that came with the letter!

……

Originally, although Wal-Mart was greedy, it could still restrain itself.

However, the appearance of puppets changed all this, and eventually led to a series of tragic events.

Until the end, he became suspicious of Su Xian because of the gangster chaos that happened in the rare treasure antiquities store that night.

At that time, his consciousness was probably confused to a certain extent.

As the puppet said, he attached a part of his soul to the stand-in, manipulated the stand-in to go to the academy to find Su Xian, and was finally killed by Professor Buck in the office!

Is this a coincidence, or is it inevitable?

No one said it clearly.

The last question that remains is, who sent the puppet?

……

Su Xian handed the third letter to Professor Buck as well, and then reached for the invitation.

The invitation was beautiful, and there was even a golden chrysanthemum badge pinned to it.

He took out the golden chrysanthemum badge and placed it on the table, before opening the invitation and looking at it carefully.

"To Mr. Wal-Mart, your application has been approved, and you will be eligible for the invitation of this association from now on, and the most recent meeting of this association will be held at 8 p.m. on July 18. If you are interested in visiting, please be sure to bring the Designated Golden Chrysanthemum Badge and at least one ancient item of sufficient value. Peace of mind. ”
