"Qin Fen, there is a boxed lunch in the incubator in the co-pilot's seat......"

This girl...... I smiled and shook my head, then went to the passenger seat to get the lunch box. The lunch box was still warm, and there was a bottle of mineral water that was somewhat lukewarm next to it, as well as cutlery tissues. I can see that this is not a takeaway, I think it must have been delivered by her family.

……

"Are you done eating?" When Liu Rumei saw me, she immediately asked.

I nodded, "Yes, thank you." ”

Liu Ru frowned and rolled his eyes: "What are you being polite to me?" ”

"Uh......" I smiled, turned my head to look at the busy crowd, and asked, "What did you dig up?" ”

"Don't you watch it yourself?" Liu Rumei continued to roll her eyes: "I haven't started digging yet." ”

"Uh......" I continued to laugh.

……

I imagined that what was buried under the keel could be a bronze ritual vessel, or an ancient weapon, or a metal coin, or even a rock slab rich in metallic minerals......

But I never expected that a rusty truck would be dug up directly under the keel. The truck had rusted into a lump of rust, almost rusted with the dirt next to it, and its origin could only be guessed by its general form. This should be a Type 94 truck that was the most common in the Japanese army during World War II, and it looks a bit like a domestically produced liberation truck in the early days.

In the process of cleaning the vehicle, several white bones were found, and judging from the bullet holes on the body, it is believed that they died on the spot after an encounter, but their identities are no longer verifiable.

"It looks like the keel wasn't here in the first place." I looked at the truck in front of me, frowned, and said, "I think it should be that the Japanese army was intercepted in the process of smuggling the keel and buried here." ”

Liu Rumei nodded and asked, "Do they want this dragon backbone?" ”

I smiled and said to her, "There is a need called not having it at home, and I am just red-eyed." ”

Liu Rumei looked at me speechlessly.

"Ahem......" I hurriedly said, "what needs to be figured out now is not what they want this thing to do, but where they got it from." ”

Liu Rumei nodded, pointed to the big rusty truck on the ground and said, "There shouldn't be any clues, I think it's difficult to dig up a complete part in it now." ”

"yes." I propped my forehead, looked at the big lump of rust, and thought quietly.

"Do you have a compass?" I thought about it for a long time, and finally asked Liu Rumei.

"Brought it." Liu Rumei nodded, and began to rummage in her bag as she spoke.

"......Bring it to me," I said, taking the compass from her hand.

"Is there a map?" I continued to ask.

"Yes." Liu Rumei continued to rummage in her bag.

"Spread out the ......"

"Hmm."

I looked at the lump of rust and used my compass to determine where it was on the map. After some effort, I finally found the direction of the front of the car, and then responded by finding the direction of the rear of the car, and then marked the direction of the car section on the map.

Liu Rumei watched silently from the side, frowning and not saying a word.

After I had done all this, I looked up and continued to ask her, "Is there a map before liberation?" Preferably the kind with a traffic map ......"

Liu Rumei looked at me and said angrily: "You really use me as Doraemon!" Where can I find that thing for you! ”

"Uh......" I was speechless, as if it was difficult for some strong people, but without the map at that time, even if I knew the direction of the vehicle, it would be useless, so I cheekily said: "I know you don't, but you have a lot of energy, ask my colleagues at the Cultural Relics Bureau, see who knows where it is, and we don't take it, just take a look......"

Liu Rumei also knew this truth, and after sighing, she took out her tablet and began to knock and knock. This girl is always amazingly efficient, and after five minutes, she shoved the tablet into my hand.

"See for yourself......"

"Huh...... Uh-huh......"

Compare the old and new maps, find landmarks that still exist in both, determine the location of the keel, and then draw the direction of the vehicle......

"The old train station?" Liu Rumei suddenly spoke up behind me, she said that she wanted me to see it myself, but I couldn't help but be curious and secretly looked at it in the back.

"Hmm." I nodded, and then looked at the rear of the car. But then the scope is larger, I followed the road radioactive reverse reasoning from near to far, and finally assigned my hand to a place name, this place name is very peculiar called Dragon King Temple, it seems that it should be a Taoist temple. I compared it to the new map and found that it no longer had this place name.

Liu Rumei also saw it and said: "This dragon king view should be the original site of the keel, but why is it buried here with the truck?" ”

I thought for a moment and said, "It may be that the Japanese army transported the keel and was ambushed here." ”

"Ambush? Is it here? It's a small hill, so it's the least suitable for ambushes. Liu Rumei was puzzled.

I nodded, and then said, "Look at the name of this place on the old map. ”

Liu Rumei picked up the tablet and looked at it for a long time, and then said, "Xinghualing, this is a ridge." ”

I smiled and said, "Since it is a ridge, if this road is to be crossed, this place should have been a ditch before, and it is reasonable to ambush on the edge of the ditch." ”

Liu Rumei also thought about it, and then my words said: "Explosives were planted on both sides of the ravine, and when the truck arrived, the explosives were detonated, and then the truck and keel were buried. ”

"Not bad, not bad." I applauded.

Liu Rumei was not proud, shook his head and said: "Yes, yes, it's good, but it's a pity that it's just an inference, and it has no practical significance." ”

I laughed and said, "How can it not be meaningful, reasonable inference is often the key to solving the puzzle." ”

"Is it reasonable?"

"Isn't it reasonable?" I smiled and said, "Don't worry about this, let's go to the Dragon King Temple to have a look, the so-called goose has been a long time, but I think there will be some clues left." ”

Liu Rumei frowned and said, "Even the name of the place is gone, can you still find it?" ”

I pointed to a place called Tuanjie Village on the new map and said, "Let's go here, this is the same place as the Dragon King Temple, and it is estimated that it was renamed after the liberation." ”

Liu Rumei's brows were twisted together, and she pointed to Tuanjie Village on the map and asked: "Just by looking at the name, you can know that it is a village that only existed after liberation, what clues can there be." ”

Me: "I'm not sure, let's go over and have a look." ”

"Okay." Liu Rumei didn't bother anymore and called the driver directly.

……

The situation in Tuanjie Village really left me a little speechless, rows of neat and uniform new houses, blue bricks and red tiles, and excessive magnanimity.

Liu Rumei smiled and asked, "Do you still want to inquire now?" ”

I was very lacking in confidence, but I still had a hard mouth: "Ask, you have to ask, this is a village with a story......"

"Uh-huh, let's go."

To inquire about this old story of stale sesame seeds and rotten grain, you must first find an old enough old man. In short, the luck is not bad, I met enough old people in the small square in the village, of course, there are also old enough ones, after some inquiry, there is still some gain.

Tuanjie Village used to be called the Dragon King Temple, and it used to be a Taoist temple with a lot of incense, and it is said that the dragon head of the real dragon was offered inside. Later, the Japanese devils were haunted, the dragon head was snatched away, and the Taoist priests in the temple also died and fled, and the huge Taoist temple fell into disrepair. Later, it came to the era of "breaking the four olds", not only demolishing the dilapidated Taoist temple, but also changing the name of the village.

That's all the old people can say, although there is still no important information, but it has directly proved our previous inference.

……

"There's no useful information." Liu Rumei looked at the distant village and said lightly.

"Well, it's okay." I replied.

We're trying to investigate the Feathered Humans, and the results here don't seem to be helpful in investigating the Feathered Ruins.

I thought about it for a moment and said, "There's one thing here, and it basically makes sense. ”

Liu Rumei was puzzled and asked, "Which one?" ”

I replied, "That strange painting of Li Erjia." ”

Liu Rumei continued to ask: "Is there a connection?" ”

I nodded and said, "Li Erjia's painting may come from this Taoist temple, in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, I think the incense here must still be very prosperous, and the messy carvings on the keel are regarded as heavenly books and other things, and it is not an exaggeration to be copied to ward off evil spirits." ”

The reason can be explained, but the facts are only inferences, and no further confirmation can be made, plus this matter is not the main object of attention, and after the two of us chatted casually for a while, we no longer got entangled.

"There's one more thing I'm concerned about." I glanced back at Tuanjie Village, which had disappeared from the end of my vision, and said, "Why did the Japanese rob the keel?" ”

"Isn't it because of red eyes?" Liu Rumei asked rhetorically and emphasized: "You just said it." ”

"Hmm." I nodded, and then said, "If that's all there is, then things will be simple, I think the matter of the ruins of the Feather Human Race, these Japanese invaders should have been investigating back then." ”

Liu Rumei: "There is evidence? ”

Me: "Intuition. ”

"Oh......" Liu Rumei thought for a while and then said: "Even if it has been investigated, it is meaningless now, this is a long old thing." ”

I shook my head and said, "Qiao Er and his gang can be so persistent about the ruins of the Feather Clan, which shows that the things of the Feather Clan are attractive enough, if these things are also known to the Japanese Kou, it is very likely that they will continue to investigate, even if they are defeated, they may still continue to investigate in secret." ”

"It's possible." Liu Rumei nodded, but the conversation changed, and then said, "However, this doesn't make any sense, right?" ”

I nodded, but for some reason, I always felt that there was a connection, and I couldn't say where it was. Maybe it's because there's so little information available now that the whole thing can't be thought of together.

"Do you think Qiao Er's backstage will be Japanese?"

Liu Rumei suddenly asked me such a sentence, I frowned and thought for a long time, and said: "Probably not, Qiao Er seems to be a high-ranking official, if this is, then the reality is too terrible." ”

"What about the Man in Black?"

Liu Rumei continued to speculate with a big brain, leaving my face full of black lines.

"Auntie, the man in black is a member of the military, and he is currently in the same group as us."
