Chapter 3: The Archaeologist and the Tomb Robber

"Jiang Ting, twenty-three years old...... Researcher of the Pre-Qin Research Institute. ”

"This ...... Why is this happening? Jiang Ting's face was puzzled, "Could it be that before I participated in the interview, I was hired by the Pre-Qin Research Institute?" ”

"Wait a minute, how did I become an orphan?!" Jiang Ting's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at his resume, and the "parents" column was written with "none", with a note: "Orphans, raised by Zongheng Orphanage." ”

Jiang Ting bared his teeth, his parents are alive and healthy, why did he become an orphan on his resume?

Jiang Ting checked carefully and found that in addition to the basic consistency of height and weight, his home address, place of birth, and graduation school were completely different from his own, and even his blood type had been changed.

"Except for photos and names, there really isn't any." Jiang Ting smacked his tongue, his real age was still a few months away from being twenty-three years old, so the age on his resume was not right.

"I actually became a researcher at the Pre-Qin Research Institute." Jiang Ting shook his head a little incredulously, "As for the issue of false information...... The Pre-Qin Research Institute is also supposed to be a secret department, and what it studies is too secret, so personal information needs to be kept secret. Jiang Ting thought for a moment and came to a conclusion.

The clothes were almost dry, Jiang Ting picked up the iron he borrowed from the shopkeeper, steamed off some of the moisture, and left the hotel.

……

"Sorry, the user you are calling is temporarily unreachable, please dial again later. Sorry! The subscriber you dialed……”

Jiang Ting reluctantly put down his mobile phone, and when he got home, he called Director He as soon as possible, but the other party's mobile phone couldn't be connected, and Jiang Ting couldn't help but be a little worried.

"Hey, hello, my name is Jiang Ting......" Jiang Ting did not hesitate, and immediately called the police, the pre-Qin Research Institute is a very important matter, there is a possibility of infiltration by foreign forces, and he must find a way to spread the news.

However, Jiang Ting did not tell the matter, he just said that he encountered a murder case during the interview, and the police attached great importance to it, and immediately sent three police cars to investigate, one of which was specially designed to protect Jiang Ting.

"Mr. Jiang, please tell us the details of what happened." Inside the police station, a young policeman said to Jiang Ting with a serious expression.

"Honestly, I don't know what happened next." Jiang Ting shook his head, and when he led the police to the scene, he found that the Pre-Qin Research Institute had been reduced to ruins, and not even a single body had been found.

According to Jiang Ting's account, he discovered the case this morning, and was able to demolish a two-story cement building within a few hours, which was obviously not done by manpower.

"We have inspected the site and found no traces of explosives, and when we investigated the surveillance footage of the North Outer Ring Road, only a few muck trucks passed by, and there was no possibility of large-scale demolition equipment."

The young policeman had a serious face, and if they hadn't found blood stains on a piece of broken rubble, Jiang Ting might have been treated as a false police officer.

"Xiao Wang, you go back first, someone has taken over this case." A voice came, Jiang Ting looked up, but found a middle-aged policeman standing at the door, looking at him with a solemn face.

"Team Liu......"

"I have reported this matter, the higher authorities attach great importance to it, and have sent someone to take over the case, and the rest of the matter has nothing to do with us." The middle-aged man known as "Team Liu" explained with a calm expression.

The young policeman nodded, got up and left, Team Liu glanced at Jiang Ting and said, "Mr. Jiang, come with me." ”

Jiang Ting responded, his expression was a little complicated, but in the end he still kept up with Team Liu.

Twenty minutes later, Jiang Ting took Liu's car and came to the Qinwang Reservoir upstream of Hanwang Lake, where a small building stood next to the water, which was very elegant and chic.

The small building is divided into three floors, the building shape is antique, east and west, a bit like an ancient teahouse, it is paved with cyan bricks and tiles, and many willow trees on the lakeside have spit out new shoots, which are swaying in the spring breeze.

Jiang Ting knew that the person he wanted to meet was there.

"The second room on the east side of the third floor......" Jiang Ting followed Team Liu, silently observing, there was no one in the teahouse, and it seemed that all irrelevant people had been dispersed in advance.

Pushing open the door, an old man in a long robe sat there and said to Jiang Ting: "The old man is sent by Jia Jintang, a little friend of the Xianqin Research Institute, you are polite." ”

"The Unloading Sect?" Jiang Ting was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously remembered a sentence:

"Learn to rob tombs, come to Xiangxi, dig pits and unload ridges first, learn blasting on Monday, excavator on Tuesday, three points of theory, seven points of practice, and no charge for trial digging in January. Our slogan is to take over the world's projects, cultivate the elites of the mountains, dig all over the north and south of the river, and relieve the land of China. ”

If you're not filming well, what are you doing here?

Jiang Ting's second reaction was uncomfortable, after all, as an archaeologist, he would feel a little nervous when he saw a tomb robber sitting in front of him.

When Jiang Ting was an intern, he had followed his mentor in archaeology, and he had also seen tombs that had been destroyed beyond recognition, and many valuable murals had been damaged, which was regrettable.

Tomb robbers do little to protect the tombs, and for them, they take what is valuable, and destroy or discard what is not.

A piece of gold-threaded jade garment will be carefully protected by archaeologists and sent to museums, while tomb robbers will rip off the gold-threaded jade garment, pull out the gold thread, throw the jade piece on the ground, and step on the body of the tomb owner by the way - the Lion Mountain Tomb of King Chu is an example.

On the other hand, among the people, archaeologists have to endure all kinds of infamy, as if it is a shame to seek treasures for the country without asking for anything in return, and it is an honor to steal tombs and sell cultural relics to foreign countries.

"It turned out to be Mr. Jia, polite." Jiang Ting returned the salute, although his heart responded, but he maintained basic etiquette.

"Xiaoyou still has some prejudices in his heart." Jia Jintang smiled, but his eyes showed arrogance and disdain, "Xiaoyou doesn't know that if the Pre-Qin Research Institute didn't have us laymen, it might not have been able to be established." ”

Jiang Ting sneered in his heart, if it weren't for the group of tomb robbers who contributed to the archaeology after the founding of the People's Republic of China, where would he Jia Jintang have survived until now?

I don't know how many cultural relics I sold to the foreign powers during the war, and I relied on the national disaster to make a lot of money, and lived a luxurious life, and now I really regard the work of atonement as my own credit?

"Mr. Jia wants to see me, is there something wrong?" Jiang Ting didn't want to dwell too much, so he asked directly.

"Young people are just anxious." Jia Jintang poured himself a cup of green tea, "The old man, as a person from the Tianshu Management Office, came this time, even if it is to see the juniors, it is understandable, right?" ”

The teacups on the table were large, apparently used to drink tea bowls such as Babao tea, but Jia Jintang would not have any objections to doing so.

"Tianshu Administration?" Jiang Ting raised his eyebrows, "What kind of department is this?" ”

"The Tianshu Management Office is a special organ of the government, such as your Pre-Qin Research Institute, the Prehistoric Investigation Bureau, the Lost Civilization Investigation Center, and the recently established extraterrestrial civilization search team, all of which are in charge of the Tianshu Management Office." Jia Jintang talked eloquently, looking like he knew everything.

Jiang Ting was silent for a while, glanced at Team Liu not far away, and suddenly said, "What about the Huaxia Dragon Group?" ”

Jia Jintang's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and he almost spilled the water, and said angrily: "I don't know." ”

Jiang Ting nodded, looking Jia Jintang up and down, the other party's words did not seem to be fake, if it was really as Jia Jintang said, then this world was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

"What do these departments do?" Jiang Ting asked his doubts.

"Go down, investigate the ruins, or find some aliens." Jia Jintang's answer was simple.

"Why are you investigating this stuff?" Jiang Ting continued to ask.

"Because...... The world is about to change, and the silence will eventually break through the ground. Jia Jintang said with a solemn face.

Jiang Ting heard it in a fog, and wanted to continue asking, but was interrupted by Jia Jintang: "I'll ask you a few questions, and you have to answer truthfully." ”

"Okay." Jiang Ting nodded, his body tensing.

"Name?" Jia Jintang took a sip of tea.

"Is this still going to be asked?" Jiang Ting shrugged his shoulders, Jia Jintang reacted, put down the cup, and said without changing his face: "We need to check your information." ”

Jiang Ting said "oh": "My name is Jiang Ting." ”

"Gender?" Jia Jintang picked up the cup again.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Male"

"Age."

"Twenty-six." Jiang Ting glanced at Jia Jintang, who did not react.

Jiang Ting's heart sank, he took a deep breath, tilted his head slightly, and looked at Team Liu at the door.

Team Liu was guarding the door, but his eyes were looking in his direction from time to time.

"Blood type?"

β€œAB。”

Jia Jintang nodded and continued to ask.

"Parents?"

"Orphans." Jiang Ting was silent for a while, "Singularity orphanage grew up. ”

Jia Jintang asked a few more basic information, starting from the item of "age", Jiang Ting answered all the wrong information, neither on his resume nor on his real information.

However, Jia Jintang didn't realize it, Jiang Ting swallowed his saliva, cold sweat began to ooze from his back, and a bold guess appeared in his heart.

It is very likely that this Jia Jintang is a person from a foreign force!

The Pre-Qin Research Institute is a special department, how can it not even have basic security measures?

The entire staff of the Pre-Qin Research Institute was killed, and Jiang Ting was sure that the "Liu Team" in front of him would definitely not be able to get out of it.

"When did you arrive at the institute?" Jia Jintang asked.

"It's about seven thirty o'clock this morning." Jiang Ting made a look of recollection and spoke.

"What happened next?"

Jiang Ting briefly recounted the matter, he did not hide the matter of the wooden box, those searchers witnessed Director Qin sending him out of the courtyard, they could naturally think that something was on Jiang Ting, and now concealing it would cause suspicion.

However, Jiang Ting only told Jia Jintang that there were bank cards and bronze coffin pendants in the wooden box, and did not say anything about the USB flash drive of the brass coffin.

Jia Jintang asked a few more innocuous questions, and finally spoke: "Where is the thing that the director of the Pre-Qin Research Institute gave you?" ”

"The bank card is on me now, and I didn't bring the bronze coffin with me, so I put it at home, I'm afraid this thing is too valuable." Jiang Ting scratched his head, "I'll go get it now." ”

With that, he got up and walked towards the door.

"Jiang Xiaoyou, please sit down." A touch of ecstasy appeared in the depths of Jia Jintang's eyes, but he still did not relax his vigilance, he got up and grabbed Jiang Ting's wrist and dragged him back, "Liu Zhen, you arrange it and send a few people to fetch it." ”

"This old man has a lot of strength!" Jiang Ting's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sat back at the table quietly.

"Team Liu" nodded, walked out of the room, and made a phone call at the door, Jiang Ting reached out and poured himself a cup of tea.

The teapot is a piece of blue and white porcelain, although it is a modern process, but the workmanship is very exquisite, the warm handle of the pot is very feeling in the hand, Jiang Ting quietly watched the hot tea poured out, and his heart was extremely calm.

Jiang Ting picked up the tea bowl with his left hand: "Mr. Jia......"

Before the words fell, Jiang Ting's arm exerted force and splashed the tea on Jia Jintang's face, and at the same time, Jiang Ting lifted the teapot with his other hand and smashed it on Jia Jintang's head!

The sound of broken porcelain came, Jiang Ting exerted his strength with both feet, rushed directly to the nearest window, and jumped down!
