Chapter 26 Old Cases Revisited

Zhao Haipeng finally saw Chen Mengsheng walking out of the villa with an abnormal expression in the police car, Xu San and a few thugs didn't dare to embarrass them when they received a call from Kui Jiulong, so they obediently gave way and let them go. Back in the car, Zhao Haipeng asked urgently, "Brother Chen, what happened?" Why is your face so ugly, I'm going to the bureau to gather people to raid Kui Jiulong's house! ”

Chen Mengsheng shook his head and said inexplicably: "Is there any land temple or Taoist temple here?" ”

"What? Land Temple? Temples? Zhao Haipeng stopped the car, looked at Chen Mengsheng strangely, reached out and touched his forehead, his face full of puzzlement.

Chen Mengsheng smiled bitterly: "Brother Zhao doesn't have to be suspicious, just because I have something in my heart that needs to be confirmed." ”

Zhao Haipeng didn't understand what Chen Mengsheng said, but he believed that he must have his reasons. After thinking for a while, he said: "There are many big temples in Beijing, but there are really few land temples. Before liberation, I heard the elders say that there was a temple of the God of Wealth, but it had already been demolished, don't you think? ”

Chen Mengsheng nodded and said, "As long as there is a place where a small temple has been built, it is fine, and if I want to breathe, Brother Lao Zhao will take me there." Zhao Haipeng saw that he was sitting in meditation, and he didn't want to ask anything, so he drove to the former site of Zhao Gongming's God of Wealth Temple outside the Temple of Heaven at Yongding Gate......

The former God of Wealth Temple has been changed to Zhao Gongkou, surrounded by Rainbow City, Pomegranate Garden and other communities. Zhao Haipeng parked the car outside the tennis court, pointed to the left and said, "Brother Chen, there is it." ”

Chen Mengsheng opened his eyes and looked at it: "You are waiting for me here, I will go back when I go!" Chen Mengsheng got out of the car and found a secluded place where no one was there and recited the trick of asking for gods, but there was no movement for a long time. Like the gods of the big temple and the big view, Chen Mengsheng does not dare to go all the year round, for fear of being investigated by the heavenly court, and only by finding a small temple and a small god will not be detected by the heavenly palace......

After about ten minutes, Chen Mengsheng couldn't sense the slightest appearance of the God of Wealth. This shows that what he saw in the palace of the Immovable King just now was not a dream, and he could no longer use the Dao method to invite God. In other words, the last retreat is gone, even if he is dead, it is impossible to see Cui Yu and ask for Shangguan Yanran's whereabouts, so he can only drink Meng Po soup like ordinary people and forget about this life and past life. The only hope for finding Shangguan Yanran is the half of the jade plaque that Master Puwang has seen......

Chen Mengsheng returned to the car with his soul lost, looking at the sky with two eyes and muttering to himself: "I have really become a waste, maybe Yanran has forgotten me when she sees me......"

"Brother Chen, what are you muttering? Still worried about your junior sister? Are you a person with special abilities, are you afraid you can't find it? If only I had half of your ability, I must make Ning'er happy. Alas! Zhao Haipeng smiled helplessly.

But when Chen Mengsheng heard this, he suddenly opened his mouth, "That's right! found Yanran, even if she didn't know herself anymore, as long as she could protect her and make her happy! Chen Mengsheng seemed to see hope in despair, and the whole person was shocked. Resolutely said, "Let's go, let's go back......"

Returning to Zhang Ning's old house in Daxing Village, Tian Ruozhi was still in a semi-coma due to excessive blood loss. Zhang Ning listened to the news brought by Zhao Haipeng and became more and more convinced that Ma Jin was the most suspicious, and as for the person who came to sneak attack last night, he still didn't have a clue. Zhao Haipeng called Zhao Gang to report the clues he had in a few days, Zhao Gang realized that the seriousness of the situation exceeded his expectations, and immediately arranged for Zhao Haipeng to transfer Zhang Ning and them to the witness safe house of the Dinghai Branch to live temporarily, only Chen Mengsheng stood alone under the pomegranate tree in the courtyard, not saying a word, guarding against someone to attack again......

It was another long night, and Chen Mengsheng and Zhao Haipeng took turns guarding the old house. As soon as the morning dawned, Zhao Haipeng and Chen Mengsheng settled Zhang Ning and Tian Ruozhi into a safe house and rushed to the Chinese Academy of Sciences non-stop, and they must find out the black hand who killed Zhang Jiadong!

"Dean Ma, I came today to ask you to help investigate the disappearance of Zhang Jiadong." Zhao Haipeng walked straight to Ma Jin's office and asked.

Ma Jin was obviously a little nervous about Zhao Haipeng's sudden visit, took a puff of cigarette and said with a smile: Hehe, Haipeng, you are a rare guest. Zhang Ning had a car accident, it's okay, I haven't been able to contact her. Who is this? I look a little familiar. ”

Zhao Haipeng smiled slightly and said: "He is my new partner Chen Mengsheng, according to last year's file records, you said that Zhang Jiadong disappeared during the scientific expedition in Xinjiang." Is that right? ”

Ma Jin looked at Zhao Haipeng and asked with some surprise: "Yes, have you found Jiadong?" ”

Zhao Haipeng nodded and said: "Zhang Jiadong was murdered, and my colleagues in the forensic department have collected evidence and made an NDA comparison to determine that the identity of the deceased is Zhang Jiadong, so we have to retry this case." I hope Dean Ma can cooperate with our work, this is your transcript a year ago, there are many doubts. ”

"At that time...... Then...... I may have lost my mind because the disappearance of Jiadong was too sudden, and I may not remember clearly......" The cold wind in Ma Jin's office was blowing, but it couldn't stop the layers of sweat oozing from Ma Jin's forehead.

Zhao Haipeng smiled: "Then Dean Ma remembers it now?" Did Zhang Jiadong disappear in Xinjiang? ”

"No...... No, he's crazy. Secretly ran away from Urumqi Hospital and returned to Beijing without saying a word. We didn't answer his calls, and the whole thing was nerves up by that thing. Ma Jin shuddered and took a few puffs of flue.

Zhao Haipeng put down the notebook and asked, "What is it?" What happened to you in Xinjiang? Why did you hide it at the time? ”

"This ...... This...... Last year, local herders in the Peacock River Valley, east of Xinjiang's Tarim Basin, discovered several stone tablets engraved with words. The director of the Xinyi Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, Idilis, invited Jiadong, who went to Xinjiang twice to investigate and unearthed many tombs of the ancient Loulan period in the area of the Peacock River, according to the discovery of Jiadong, it should be in the lower reaches of the Peacock River is the place where Bergman once recorded a thousand coffins. In August of that year, Jiadong went to Xinjiang with me and Huang Yunxiang, but who would have thought of that strange thing......"

In August, the Peacock River is crisp in autumn, and the pear fragrance and fruit are red, and Zhang Jiadong has to drive hundreds of miles every day to observe the geology and landform under the leadership of the guide Geden. More than a month passed in a flash, and no progress was made in the inspection work. The legendary city of a thousand coffins in Guloulan may be just around the corner, but there is no clue about the archaeological work......

In order to find a breakthrough as soon as possible, Zhang Jiadong decided to conduct a carpet investigation separately. With Zhang Jiadong's three people from Beijing and the guide Ge Deng as a group, the Xinjiang archaeological team set up another group. The two teams collected rocks and sand along the Peacock River basin every day for spectrum analysis, and then compiled the data by radio every day. But one day, after Zhang Jiadong finished writing the day's diary in the tent, the weather became gloomy and terrible in a blink of an eye.

Gordon looked up at the dark clouds floating in the sky in the car, and told Zhang Jiadong that a big sandstorm was coming, and the desert storm could be enough to destroy the entire city. Zhang Jiadong immediately instructed his assistants Ma Jin and Huang Yunxiang to transport the hundreds of sampling bottles that had not been collected and analyzed today into the car, but the sky was dark and the clouds were rolling, and the sandstorm could suddenly come at any time.

Gordon yelled in the car, "Get out of here, it's too dangerous here!" Don't worry about things yet, the most important thing is to save your life! The three of them took Zhang Jiadong and got into the car, and Gerdon stepped on the accelerator violently, and the car flew away against the wind like an arrow off the string. Suddenly, the place where I was camping was obliterated by the yellow sand that covered the sky......

Gordon sighed lightly and said, "It's so dangerous! If we were half a step later, we would have been discovered by later archaeological discoveries, and there would be a shelter rock forty kilometers west along the Peacock River. ”

Zhang Jiadong suddenly shouted: "Stop quickly, Ma Jin will give me a telescope." What do you think there? Huang Yunxiang, you immediately contact the Xinjiang Second Group, we have made a major discovery here! Zhang Jiadong pointed to the window with his finger, and the people in the car were dumbfounded as they looked in the direction of Zhang Jiadong's finger......

I saw that the phoenix eyes gathered into a tornado a hundred meters away from the car window, and the yellow sand was rolled up where the tornado pillar went, revealing several large wooden pillars. Underneath the wooden pillars are huge stone blocks, which are typical tombs of ancient Loulan nobles. Gordon hesitated and stopped the car, and suddenly the flying sand and rocks outside the car were like the teeth of a beast tearing at the body. Zhang Jiadong looked at the gradually clear tomb and excitedly wanted to open the car door and go down, Ma Jin hugged him in fright and shouted: "Jiadong, you are crazy!" If you go out now, you're looking for death, and it's not too late for you to go when the eye of the storm is over! ”

Zhang Jiadong also shouted: "When the eye of the wind passes, it will be buried in yellow sand, and then it will be a needle in a haystack to find the tomb." Let me go and let me go down! When the two were at a stalemate, the car suddenly had a huge shock, and the wheels were sinking little by little.

"Don't move, we're in a cross-sectional airflow." Gordon stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the rear wheel stirred up more than a high level of sand. Gordon repeated it several times, and instead of moving, the car accelerated and sank. The roar of the engine makes the ear drums ache faintly, and a large amount of yellow sand is sucked in by the car's air intake. Gordon didn't dare to act rashly anymore, and the four of them could only wait in the car to come to the rescue.

Zhang Jiadong looked at the yellow sand flying around, realized the current situation in a desperate situation, and said to Huang Yunxiang: "Have the two groups been contacted?" ”

Huang Yunxiang said with a bitter face: "Curator, the wireless signal can't pass through the sandstorm now, and we can't even count on satellite communication now." ”

Gordon tapped his hand on the thick yellow sand covering the front windshield glass and said worriedly: "If this storm is so tossed again, I think we will still have to rely on ourselves." I'll go out and put the rear tire on the back of the car in a while, and you'll take care of the driving. Gdalden's words stunned the three people in the car, and at this juncture, the self-sacrifice of human nature was more touching than any rhetoric......
