Chapter 8 Nervous asphyxia

"Comrade Li Jiang... Here's the thing, I don't think this thing is as simple as what is written in your report, I don't know if you can spare some time to talk about it in detail after work..."Liu Dongsheng did not expose Li Jiang's lies, but lowered his voice and slowed down the speed of his speech to put on a very mysterious look.

"This..."Li Jiang hesitated for a moment, opened the door and looked at the corridor sneakily, "What can I say now, why wait for work...?" ”

"That's good..."Although there was no one else in the room except himself and Li Jiang, Liu Dongsheng still put his mouth to Li Jiang's ear, and muttered a few words in a low voice, and Li Jiang broke out in a cold sweat when he listened, "Don't... Captain Liu, let's talk about this topic after work... After work said..."Li Jiang wiped a handful of sweat with his hands, "Our bureau... You didn't tell anyone else, did you? ”

"Until now, I've told you alone..."Liu Dongsheng said, "If it's okay, there is a dumpling restaurant not far from the left, where will I wait for you after work!" With that, Liu Dongsheng turned around and went out.

"Well... Good... Then I won't send it..."Li Jiang returned to his seat, picked up the phone and was about to dial, but just pressed two buttons and hung up the receiver again, sighed and shook his head.

Chengde Road, Shuangyuan Dumpling Restaurant.

"Captain Liu, how did you know about this?" Li Jiang put his bicycle at the door of the dumpling restaurant and pushed the door into the house, only to see Liu Dongsheng sitting by the door.

"Hey, hey... This matter is also quite evil by the public security..."Liu Dongsheng pouted, "The waiter... On two pounds of leek eggs... Take two cucumbers for me and open two beers... Take another head of garlic..."

"Oh?" Li Jiang was stunned for a moment, "Captain Liu, can you tell me more details?" ”

"That's the case, we analyze, so many special grade, first-class cultural relics, certainly not one or two people, there must be a criminal gang behind the theft, reselling, and selling as one, so we sent a notice to all provinces and departments across the country to assist in the investigation, hoping to wipe out this gang, but I just finished sending a fax on the front foot of this notice, and received a call from Xi'an on the back foot..." Liu Dongsheng broke open a pair of disposable chopsticks and began to describe the content of the phone.

In 1986, the Liquan County Public Security Bureau in Shaanxi Province received a report that a tomb robbery gang was committing a crime next to National Highway 312, about 10 kilometers southwest of Liquan County. This can make the police worried, such a vague description of the lot, how to find it? But it happened that year was the second nationwide "strike hard" year, Shaanxi is a large province of cultural relics, so the leaders attached great importance to the case of tomb robbery, after a brief analysis of the case, they sent almost three-quarters of the county's police force along the 312 National Highway to carry out a carpet search, but because it was night, so the police officers searched all night and still found nothing, until three days later, a farmer in Nantian Village, east of Liquan County, called to report the case, saying that a big hole was found in the crop field, bottomless, suspected that it might be a hole robbery. After receiving the report, the county public security bureau quickly dispatched the police to Nantian, under the guidance of the villagers came to the crop field where the robbery hole was found, according to the description of the villagers, this land belongs to the village Liang Dali's family, legend has it that Liang Dali's ancestors are tomb robbers for seven generations, Liang Dali himself also has the habit of stealing chickens and dogs, and was a well-known second-rate son before liberation. At the time of the land reform, Liang Dali also got a few acres of land, and stopped for a few years, but after the reform and opening up, he began to move again, people in their sixties, because of their bad reputation, did not marry a daughter-in-law, and did not do their business all day long, and the artemisia grass in their own fields was often higher than the crops.

Later, the police came to Liang Dali's house under the leadership of the villagers, but found that there was no one at home for a long time, according to the reaction of Liang Dali's neighbors, Liang Dali was likely to leave home in the middle of the night, because Liang Dali had not seen him come out since he entered the house a few days ago, and the neighbors were afraid that something would happen, so they deliberately climbed over the wall to the courtyard of Liang's house and looked in from the window, but there was no one in the house at all, and I don't know when he left. As a result, the police handling the case judged that Liang Dali was suspected of committing a major crime, and issued a wanted warrant in the province.

At the same time that the police visited the villagers to understand the situation, the cultural relics department of Shaanxi Province also sent an archaeological team to the scene, and found a large-scale tomb of the king of war along this robbery hole, which was the "Nantian No. 1 Tomb" that caused a sensation in the archaeological circle that year.

"When the museum opened... I don't need to say it...? Liu Dongsheng filled Li Jiang with beer.

"You... You know that in detail... Actually, I'm also hearsay, but it's very evil..."Li Jiang sandwiched a dumpling and ate it with a mouth full of oil (one is a criminal investigator, the other is an archaeology, and when talking about the topic of ancient tombs and ancient corpses, I am afraid that in addition to these two professions, there is only forensic medicine... "This time this matter was originally handled as a secret, but I didn't expect you to know...".

"Of course, this matter was first spread by the public security mouth, and then it was your turn to talk about cultural relics..."Liu Dongsheng seemed to be quite proud, "By the way, Comrade Li Jiang, you do archaeology, how many strange things like this have happened?" ”。

"Tianjin is such a palm-sized place, how many tombs are buried? I'll be honest with you, Brother Liu, I'm shocked what you found, I thought that kind of rare thing would never be identified by me... I'll be honest with you, I've just heard that I haven't really encountered it..."

"That's... Do you believe it or not? Liu Dongsheng continued to ask.

"What believe it or not? Believe in what? Li Jiang seemed quite surprised.

"You don't know what's next?" Liu Dongsheng asked, "Don't you know about Liang Dali's arrest later?" ”

"I know this, didn't you say that there was basically nothing lost in that tomb at the time?" Li Jiang's face also changed a little, "There are several versions of this matter in the industry, the top says that the tomb robbers are unevenly dividing the spoils and killing each other, and the bottom is rumored to be an evil spirit..."

"I want to figure it out too! That's why I'm coming to you! Liu Dongsheng took a sip of wine, "If I hadn't experienced a few things recently, I would have just listened to it as a joke..."

Half a month later, Liang Dali was caught stealing at Xi'an Railway Station, and then sent to the station police station. According to Liang Dali's confession, he hadn't eaten for two days when he was arrested, and when he came out, he brought more than 20 yuan, which was spent in a few days, and he lived at the train station if he had no place to live, and bought two buns to eat when he was hungry.

After being arrested, Liang Dali was quickly transferred to the city bureau, during the interrogation, he admitted that he had followed his father to rob the tomb before the liberation, but after the liberation, he was good, refused to admit that he was still connected with any tomb robbery gang, and did not admit that the hole was dug by himself, after learning that none of the tomb robbers were caught, Liang Dali was even more shocking, and frankly admitted that the report call received by the public security bureau on the night of the tomb robbery was that he ran to the neighboring village overnight to call, and the reason why he suddenly ran away after the report was not afraid of the revenge of the tomb robbers, and the second was not that he was afraid of the police misunderstanding. But I am afraid that the contents of the tomb will come back to life if they are stolen!

Although the police handling the case were very dismissive of this kind of statement, which was close to nonsense, for the sake of insurance, they still found the police on duty who answered the phone at the Liquan County Public Security Bureau that night and verified it with the branch secretary of Maping Village (a neighboring village of Nantian Village), and found that Liang Dali did not tell a lie, and it was indeed him who reported the case.

"And then?" Li Jiang's face turned pale when he heard this, "The things inside come to life, isn't this pure nonsense...?" ”

"Is the stuff really alive... We don't know, but the tomb robbers..."Liu Dongsheng frowned, "The tomb robbers are really dead...!" ”

"Ahh Yes! Li Jiang slapped the table, "Or you are well-informed about being a policeman, I don't know about this Liang Dali from beginning to end..."

Just when Liang Dali was squatting in the detention center and was asked by the police for questioning every day, the camp was blown up again at the excavation site of the Nantian Ancient Tomb...

At first, the excavation work went very smoothly, although the robbery hole has hit the inside of the tomb, but the burial things were not lost, until the coffin was opened after the archaeological team bombed the camp, the huge coffin was not filled with ancient corpses, but a modern corpse, died obviously not for a long time, and the electronic watch on the arm was still jumping (the electronic watch was a high-end product in that era, more than a thousand pieces).

After receiving the report, the task force went to the excavation site for the second time, and after forensic identification, the deceased was about 30 years old, and the time of death was about 20 days, and the cause of death was preliminarily judged to be neurological asphyxia (no toxins were detected in the liver, no external injuries on the body surface, no strangulation marks on the neck, and no physical damage to the internal organs and head).

"Nervous asphyxia...?" Li Jiang said with a shocked face, "This... What kind of death is this...? ”
