Chapter 3: The Son of Anubis

Washington, D.C., at Qin Ge's home.

The Egyptian police found that Young Master Sun had a camera on him, half of the film in the camera was taken, and there was also a roll of ......More than a dozen photos, which were lined up by Qin Ge and placed on the desk," but only so much could be washed out. ”

"This ...... What is it? Lao Liu Tou picked up a photo, only to see that in the middle of the photo was a round stone pillar, on which there were some things carved with stars, but the image of the carved place was blurry, and it was impossible to see what was carved at all. And where there is no carving, it is very clear.

"I don't know yet, I've shown it to several archaeologists who specialize in Egyptian history, and they can't be sure what this place is," Liu Dan said, "The shape of this pillar is very unique, and there are no such pillars in the known pyramids and temples." ”

"The contrast of all the photos is very strong, indicating that there is no light source other than the flash in the place where the photo was taken," Alexun also began to analyze, "and the last few photos were taken very blurry, but the previous photos were taken very clearly, indicating that Young Master Sun seemed to be in a panic when he took the last photo, and he didn't have time to stabilize the lens." "Alxun picked up the last few photos, only to see that the photos were blurry, as if there was an outline of a person, but I couldn't see clearly." Aren't there still a few scientists who are tied up with Young Master Sun? They didn't tell their families either? Old Liu Tou frowned and said, "And the consultant of the British Museum who disappeared, doesn't there be any clue to his family?" ”

"Nope." Qin Ge said expressionlessly, "The families of these people, like us, are also looking for their whereabouts. ”

"Huh! The secrecy is still in place...... Where do I start...... old Liu Tou frowned with the photo in his hand, "Master Qin, there is a saying in China, you must tie the bell to the bell, Young Master Sun's soul is no accident, even if I want to help him find it back, I have to figure out where he lost it first......" Frowning, Lao Liu Tou picked up the photos and looked at them one by one. "Now I don't even know where he happened, how can you let me help you?"

"Mr. Liu, there are only these clues at the moment......" Qin Ge was silent, "Mr. Liu. With all due respect, I think it's necessary for us to make a trip to Egypt...... If it were your master, I'm sure he would do the same......"

"I'll tell you, the surname is Qin, you don't use my master to press me...... It's impossible for my master to come to the United States with you at all, you have to carry that tuberculosis ghost to him......" Old Liu's eyes widened, he had long known that Qin Ge had such a hand. "You want to know the place, I could consider going with you, but you don't know anything now, you want me to go with you to solve the case?"

He was halfway through the phone when the phone rang. "Hey, hello,...... Good ground. I'll be there right away! Qin Ge picked up the phone receiver and didn't say a word, an excited expression immediately appeared on his face. Mr. Liu, there is a new clue! ”

"I said, Master Qin, have you arranged it? Just wait for my words? Lao Liu's face was flushed with anger, why did he consider going to Egypt as soon as he finished saying that he had a clue, and this call came after him?

"Mr. Liu, I promise it's a coincidence!" Qin Ge showed a hint of a smile, "I think you should believe in fate, or rather: providence ......"

Washington, D.C. Police Department.

"What are you doing here? Did you catch the murderer? Looking at the American police officers coming and going, Lao Liu Tou squatted through the prison and looked a little uncomfortable.

"Mr. Qin!" An old man in a white coat with a beard like Marx shook hands with Qin Ge, "The things you brought make me hard to sleep every time...... ”

"Thank you very much!" Qin Ge held the old man's hand, "Let me introduce you, this is Mr. Liu Fengyan, my Chinese friend (English)...... This is Conn Smith, my American friend! Washington Police Department Trace Forensics Expert! ”

"Nice to meet you!" Smith looked Old Liu up and down and stretched out his hand.

"Me too!" Lao Liu Tou shook hands with this foreign uncle, and found that his hand was almost half smaller than the other party.

"Please come in! I've got the results! Conn waved his hand and let the four into the house.

"This is the paper ball I restored!" Conn used a projector to punch a map full of strange pictograms into the wall, "There are places where the symbols can't be restored, so I can only draw them as far as I can." (On the body recovered from the Nile, the Egyptian police found a paper ball whose contents had been soaked in the river for too long to be identified by the Egyptian police, so Qin Ge took it back to the United States for identification.) )

"Oh!" Liu Dan's eyes widened, "Oh my God! They...... They...... Is it ......?"

"Could it be what?" Qin Ge rarely saw the well-informed Liu Dan with such an expression, "Where is the mark above?" ”

"They went to the pyramids of Dedevladi!" Liu Dan trembled word by word, "No wonder they want to keep it secret!" ”

"The pyramid of Dedevla!" Qin Ge frowned and said, "Is there anything special about this pharaoh?" ”

"Dedevra is the second pharaoh of the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt, after Khufu, the reign is not very long, legend has it that his pyramid is about five miles north of the Kicha Necropolis Ablauash, but these are legends, there are no pyramids in this area at all, archaeologists even suspect that Defra did not have his own pyramid at all," Liu Dan said, "In the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt, the sun god was worshipped, so many pharaohs have the syllable 'La' in their names, which means '' The sun god', including Dedevla, but Dedevra is the son of Anubis! ”

"What does Anubis do?" Old Liu Tou asked, "This so-called son is his own son?" ”

"Not my own son...... Anubis is the god who helps the dead to reach the underworld in Egyptian mythology, that is, the ruler of hell," Liu Dan said, "The pharaohs of Egypt used to shape themselves as the sons of the gods in order to increase the sanctity of their rule, just as the emperors of China liked to shape themselves as 'dragons', in the fourth dynasty of Egypt, the god of creation, that is, the sun god 'Ra', was worshipped, so from the fourth dynasty onwards, most of the pharaohs' names claimed to be the sons of 'Ra', including this Diefra!" But many of his companions in later generations thought that he was not the son of Ra, but the son of Anubis! ”

"You mean, Young Master Sun found his pyramid?" Old Liu Tou frowned and said, "In other words, Young Master Sun's curse comes from Dedevla?" ”

"According to legend, Diefra has a strange curse that whoever divulges the location of his grave will have his soul summoned by Anubis!" Liu Dan said, "I guess they took care of this ancient legend to hide their whereabouts, but whether the curse Sun Ting received is the curse of Defra, I can't be sure!" (Sun Qilin's son's name is Sun Ting)

"Does this map show the exact location of the pyramid?" Qin Ge asked.

"Nope!" Liu Dan frowned and said, "This map is a map of the inside of the pyramid!" And it's a little strange, why are the coordinates reversed? ”

"Can you speak English?" Conn on the side felt that he was left out in the cold, "I have the credit for cracking this thing, I am qualified to know the secrets here!" ”

"Smith, my friend said that this map is a map of the interior of the pyramid of a legendary pharaoh in Egypt, Dedevla, but he said that the coordinates are reversed......" Qin Ge translated.

"Yes, I've been into a lot of pyramids, and the layout of their interiors is generally similar, this map is very similar to the internal route map of a pyramid, but the lines depicted on the map seem to be the opposite of most of the pyramids now!" Liu Dandao.

"Conn, are you sure you didn't reverse that piece of paper when you restored it?" Qin Ge asked.

"I'm sure I'm not mistaken!" Conn was not interested in the pyramids, but was most concerned about the correctness of his research results, "If these symbols are correct, then this picture is correct!" With that, Conn reversed the slide, and the entire map route changed direction, but so did the strange symbolic direction.

"That's right......!" Liu Dan stared intently at the slide lantern on the wall, "It was right just now, but now the words are reversed......!" ”

"The king of Hades let you die on the third watch, how can I keep you on the fifth watch......" At Qin Ge's house, Lao Liu Tou repeatedly looked at the photos on the table, "Lord Hades dares to steal his son's grave, he deserves to die!" "To be honest, the most annoying thing in Lao Liutou's life is tomb robbery, although this Egypt is not China, and the so-called archaeological hat is buttoned, but people's graves are well, you have to go in and toss, a little valuable things have to be taken away, the beautiful name is "scientific research", what is the difference between this and tomb robbery?

"Mr. Liu, this is not a tomb robbery!" Liu Dan raised his eyebrows and said righteously to the old Liu Tou, "This is archaeology and scientific research!" ”

"Hey, don't tell me this, tell that Defra to ......" Old Liu Tou was lazy, Erlang put his legs on the table, and lit the cigarette, "Comrade Liu, let me tell you, whether to rob a tomb or not is a legal issue, but now that Young Master Liu has been cursed, that curse is not just to prevent your scientific research, right......?" ”

"You're ......!" Liu Dan didn't have any words.

"Mr. Liu, now is not the time to discuss this issue...... Qin Ge pushed the door into the house, "Alxun has already arranged, the flight will fly directly to Cairo tomorrow afternoon, Mr. Liu, I hope you can help ......" With that, Qin Ge took out a beautiful Nanmu box from his bag and put it in front of Old Liu.

"Uh-huh......!" When he opened the box, the wrinkles on Lao Liu's face immediately stretched into a smooth plane, and he saw that the four seal characters of "Emperor Wu Yuzun" on the jade bottle were particularly conspicuous, "Okay!" For the sake of Sun Lao's face, I will accompany you for a while! I'm looking at Old Sun's face! It has nothing to do with Qin Ye, you don't ......" Old Liu Tou picked up the jade bottle and looked left and right, eager to eat it in one bite......
