"Lao Liu, I obeyed your arrangement in a proper manner, where did I offend you?" was given a lecture for no reason, and Qi Lu's mood was not much better.

"Why did you go to Qiangzi's father's house?"

"This"

"Didn't you advise me not to disturb the family of the deceased, why did I go to find someone in private?"

Liu Chenfei's series of questions made Qi Lu's face feverish and speechless. It seems that the neighbor of Qiangzi's father called the police when he saw him die strangely, and then Liu Chenfei learned through the mouth of the aunt next door that he had looked for Qiangzi's father before the incident, so he came to Xingshi to ask for guilt.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little tense, Lao Wu hurriedly took out a cigarette and gave it to Liu Chenfei to smoke.

Liu Chenfei lit a cigarette and asked Qi Lu with a gloomy face: "Did you find any clues?" ”

"Clues?" Qi Lu hesitated, but still told Liu Chenfei what happened.

The more Lao Wu listened, the more anxious he became, and kept looking at Qi Lu behind Liu Chenfei's back to ask him not to talk any more, but Qi Lu pretended not to see his hints, and still said the content of the conversation with Qiangzi's father. Except for the few lines of prophetic poems that the old man said, Qi Lu told Liu Chenfei about other aspects without reservation.

After saying these words, Qi Lu let out a long breath, as if he had let go of a big burden, and then handed the letter to Liu Chenfei.

Liu Chenfei asked Qi Lu while reading the letter: "That wooden box?" ”

Lao Wu saw that he couldn't hide it any longer, so he had to hand the wooden box to Liu Chenfei with an embarrassed expression.

Liu Chenfei opened the box and took out the tortoise shell and looked at it for a few minutes, so he knew that it was a fragment, so he put them together and said, "It seems to be a map." ”

"Yes." Qi Lu nodded and said, "According to the old man, this is the location map of the ancient Zhou tombs handed down by their ancestors. ”

"How did Hadron use this map to find the artifacts in the tomb?

"That's how it should be."

"This is an important clue, I need to take this box back to the police station."

"No, this is a relic given to me by the old man!" Qi Lu categorically refused, and when he saw Liu Chenfei's face was gloomy, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It is closely related to archaeological work, and I will give it to Professor Jiang and let him see if there are any secrets hidden in the map." ”

Hearing Qi Lu say this, Liu Chenfei no longer insisted on it, and he returned the wooden box to Qi Lu.

The wooden box felt cold in his hand, Qi Lu couldn't help but think of the dead old man, and he asked Liu Chenfei: "Has the cause of the old man's death been found?" ”

"The medical examiner initially deduced that he had died of a heart attack. However, the exact results are still to be awaited for the autopsy report. ”

Qi Lu asked tentatively, "Will it be suicide or homicide?" ”

"It's unlikely." Liu Chenfei replied in a very affirmative tone.

It turned out that the police had inspected the old man's house, and there were no suspicious signs at the scene of the death, basically ruling out the possibility of murder.

At the same time, Liu Chenfei also investigated the medical history of the old man, who was found to have a serious heart attack in the hospital three years ago, and his life was in danger at any time. The elderly are also well aware of this and have already done organ donation in advance.

Qi Lu felt a little guilty after hearing this, a seriously ill patient like the old man can't have too much emotional fluctuations, and his meeting with him today is likely to be an important factor that induces his illness.

At this moment, Qi Lu's mobile phone rang, and after he answered the phone, he found that it was Jiang Wenhao calling.

The professor's tone on the phone was very urgent, and he asked Qi Lu to put down his work and hurry to the ancient tomb site.

"The professor urged me to come over, will you come with me?" After the call, Qi Lu asked Liu Chenfei.

"I don't have time, I still have to work on the case. But I can give you a ride. ”

Qi Lu picked up the wooden box, and after explaining a few words to Lao Wu and Ding Xiaolan, he flew out with Liu Chen.

After Qi Lu came to the ancient tomb site, he was taken into a temporary shed by Professor Jiang's assistant.

As soon as he entered the door, Qi Lu saw Jiang Wenhao studying the human calf bone in his hand, he was slightly stunned, and realized that this bone was the leg bone given to him by the Tianchi Flying Squirrel King at the beginning.

Qi Lu went straight to the point and told the professor about the meeting with Qiangzi's father, and then solemnly handed him the wooden box.

Jiang Wenhao suddenly became excited, he put together the tortoise shell in the wooden box in front of the desk according to what Qi Lu said, and sure enough, he found that this was a map of the ancient tomb.

"Xiao Qi, you see, the main coffin room, including the dark room below, and even the dark passage we discovered later, are all marked in this map, no wonder Hadron can successfully dig the thief hole directly into the dark room."

Qi Lu asked, "Then can you tell the age of these tortoise shells?" ”

Jiang Wenhao used a special lamp to shine on the tortoise shell, he carefully checked the lines and the way the characters on the armor were written, and finally nodded affirmatively and said: "Although the age of the tortoise shell will eventually be detected by instruments, according to my years of archaeological experience, these tortoise shells should be cultural relics more than 2,000 years ago." ”

"So this map is true, why is there such a tomb map that has been preserved by the tomb keepers until now?"

Jiang Wenhao said with emotion: "This is indeed a mystery, maybe we will never know the answer." ”

"I've always felt that this tomb is strange, but I can't tell what is wrong for a while." After a series of strange events, Qi Lu expressed his worries to the professor.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Wenhao also nodded with deep sympathy and said: "Xiao Qi, your hunch is right, since I presided over the excavation of the ancient tomb, a lot of strange things have happened. ”

"Ahh What's weird, can you tell me? Qi Lu asked in surprise.

Jiang Wenhao picked up the calf bone and said, "The test report is out, the bone you picked up belongs to the same age as the standing skeletons in this ancient tomb." ”

"You're saying that this bone originally belonged to something from the ancient tomb?"

Jiang Wenhao took out another drawing and spread it on the desk, and said: "Look, this is the orientation map drawn by the staff according to the position of the skeleton when we first entered the ancient coffin room, do you see that it matches the constellation in the sky?" ”

"Nandou!" Qi Lu was an expert in astrology, and he recognized the mystery hidden in it at a glance.

"Nandou is alive, Beidou is dead, and the owner of the tomb hopes that these funeral people can help him resurrect, which is beyond reproach. But there's a strange mystery that I can't explain. ”

"What mystery?"

"After cleaning, there are 108 skeletons, and you should know what it means."

"Heaven and earth, 108 Star Monarchs?"

"You're right. But have you ever thought about it, there was no saying that there was no heaven and earth in the Western Zhou Dynasty, why did these skeletons secretly match this number? ”

"Could it be that someone crossed over to the Zhou Dynasty" Qi Lu stammered, not knowing how to answer.

"Lao Liu, I obeyed your arrangement in a proper manner, where did I offend you?" was given a lecture for no reason, and Qi Lu's mood was not much better.

"Why did you go to Qiangzi's father's house?"

"This"
