Chapter 40: Another Tomb Robbery
At 8:45 a.m., Li Zhen came to the Security Bureau to report.
He had been in and out of the Security Bureau building a few times during his previous training sessions. In his mind, the six-story building with black sè glass walls looked unremarkable. Like the other buildings on the base, they were not built too high for air defense reasons.
The building was deserted on those occasions, and occasionally a few workers in black uniforms passed by, all in a hurry. He felt that at least half of the rooms in the building should be empty.
In fact, the entire northern base gives the same feeling - although the area is very large, Bi Jing also has tens of thousands. Most of the time, however, the roads in the base are nowhere to be seen, and every entry seems to shrink into the buildings.
So sometimes he can't help but think about it...... Where did you go to the capital?
But now the hall seems even more empty. The time for the Security Bureau to work is nine o'clock, and at this time it should be in and out, in and out. However, when Li Zhen stepped into the hall, he only saw the female clerk behind a desk on the west side of the hall.
She looked up from the computer screen, glanced at Li Zhen's shoulder, and smiled: "You are Lieutenant Li Zhen?" ”
Li Zhen nodded: "I am." Then he walked up to her, "I'll report on it today." ”
The other party smiled lightly and said, "Wait a minute." ”
He picked up the phone next to him again, dialed a button, and said a few seconds later, "Lieutenant Li Zhen has arrived." Be. ”
She put down the phone: "Director Dai is waiting for you in the office." Please take the elevator on the right, Room 302 on the third floor. ”
Li Zhen always felt that the atmosphere of Jinxiao was a little weird, but he couldn't tell where the competition was. I could only nod my head, thank her, and walk into the elevator she was pointing to.
The elevator was quiet and steady, rising rapidly after he pressed the button on the third floor, and finally stopped with a slight pause.
Li Zhen looked at his appearance at the smooth wall, and after confirming that there was no mistake, he walked out. Turn right, take a dozen steps, and stop in front of a mahogany door.
He knocked on the door three times with his knuckles, and then said aloud: "Li Zhen reports!" ”
After two seconds, a voice came from behind the door: "Please come in." ”
He immediately grasped the door, and with a slight twist of his hand, opened the door. I saw that in the empty office, a shadow sat behind a desk in the back window, and seemed to be looking at himself.
Li Zhen closed the door with his backhand, walked to two meters in front of the desk, and raised his hand to salute.
Dai Bingcheng looked at him behind the desk, then at a chair in front of Li Zhen's right, and raised his hand: "Sit." ”
Such an atmosphere made Li Zhen more serious. He sat down on the chair according to his words, and then saw Dai Bingcheng on the other side stretch out his hand, turned the computer monitor next to him, and asked in a steady tone: "What do you think of this news?" ”
Those who entered were right. Li Zhen thought in his heart, as soon as Director Dai arrives at work, ...... It becomes another one.
He thought that the other party would be polite to him first, and then say something like working hard. But I didn't expect the first thing I saw him was...... Then he set his sights on the computer monitor.
Above is a screenshot of the news, from the Qilu Times. This news looked quite ordinary, but when it fell in Li Zhen's eyes, his pupils shrank slightly—he was in and out again.
And it's a thousand tomb robbers.
This time, the case occurred in the northeast of Juye County, near Chiyou Tomb. According to Jǐng's speculation, it was the same gang or the same gang that took place in the last case near the Huanggu Tomb.
The Chiyou Tomb in Juye County is generally considered to be the grave where the Chiyou shoulder and condyle are buried. It is said that it has survived through the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Han, Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, and has been preserved until now. The tomb robbers seem to have gone for the burial vessels in the tomb, but the means are beyond imagination. They brutally dismembered the bodies of the five officers on duty, and then dragged their white spoon corpses straight to the main body of the tomb, dug a diagonal tunnel tens of meters long in the square, and took all the cultural relics at the bottom of the tunnel.
But this "whole artifact" is actually controversial.
Because in historical legends, after Chi You was defeated by the Yellow Emperor, he was divided. His body was buried in all corners of the land of Kyushu to prevent the monster from coming back to life.
However, Nabijing is a legend more than 4,500 years ago...... Even bones may have rotted into dust after such a long time, right?
Therefore, the Chiyou tomb in Juye, in fact, did not see the stump of Chiyou unearthed, and it was preserved as a relic. As for the so-called "burial vessels...... I've never seen it before.
However, this gang of tomb robbers did not know what kind of magical powers they had, and they dug up treasures that seemed to be of great value under the tomb. The reason for this is that the experts found what they left behind at the scene again - three copper nails.
This means that the legend is true - it is said that when the Yellow Emperor fought against Chiyou, the warriors on the Yellow Emperor's side used stone or wooden weapons, while Chiyou's army used bronze weapons.
Since there are copper nails at the bottom of that passage, there must be other funerary goods, right?
In both cases, there was such obvious evidence left behind that perhaps those who entered had only one purpose: to demonstrate.
Although it is not clear what the motive is.
These thoughts flashed through Li Zhen's mind, and then he vaguely thought of another aspect—the purpose of the gang was too strong.
The two crimes were committed near the legendary Chiyou Tomb. Once in the Imperial Mound, and the other here in the mound. Could it be that the conclusions reached by experts and scholars after countless years of research are not as clear and accurate as those of these tomb robbers? Why do they always find the right place?
The legend has been confirmed by the tomb robbers today...... It's kind of ridiculous.
Thinking of what Beichuan had mentioned to him before and the cruel methods of those tomb robbers, Li Zhen frowned slightly and replied, "I think this may not be an ordinary crime. I've reacted to Ensign Ying Ran before—"
Dai Bingcheng hummed and interrupted him: "Ying Ran also conveyed your thoughts. At first, we had doubts and didn't pay much attention to it. But the matter has been poked out again...... "he sighed slightly, "it seems that we were indeed negligent. There's a good chance your guess is correct. Don't rush yet, let's take a look at this. ”
Then he pushed a piece of cardboard in front of him to Li Zhen.
Li Zhen was a little surprised when he saw this thing - it was really as thin as a piece of cardboard, and it could even be rolled up. The front is a display screen with pictures and dense text on a pale green background.
He had seen this thing in the news before, and it was said that the technique was not yet mature, but he didn't expect it to be officially used in the Security Bureau. But now is clearly not the time to lament this.
Li Zhen picked up the cardboard and looked at it quickly and carefully.
Juye's case happened on December 27. And the information he has now seen shows that after December 27, a few years ago, the same case occurred in Zhuo County, Zhili Province. The means were just as cruel, and they left three copper nails in the same way.
As he expected, the information also mentioned that the scene of the incident in Zhuo County, Zhili, is also the place where the legendary Chiyou is buried.
In addition, there are two homicides, both in Zhili Province. The places of the incident are not far apart, and there is no more than three trips between them. Although these two places are not the legendary tombs of Chiyou like the previous three places, copper nails have also appeared.
No doubt...... It's all the same perpetrator.
And this, or these perpetrators, are also targeted by "Chiyou Grave". After that, both the two places were unknown in legends and historical materials, and they were both remote mountain villages. But since the copper nails were left behind, this means that those two places - if the legend of Chiyou being buried by the body is true - are also the tombs of Chiyou.
