Chapter 2: Three Skeletons
The monkey and I arrived at Team Cai's office as fast as we could, and closed the door casually.
The two of us are going to go our separate ways, planning to go on a massive search, there must be important clues left in the office, if the package sent by the bearded man is no longer here, then the purpose of the two people who took away Team Cai last night is obvious!
The monkey started rummaging through the cabinets, and I focused on checking Team Cai's desk, because if it were me, the more important things would be placed closest to me.
As far as the eye could see, in addition to a computer, there were two widely available geography magazines and a half-dead potted plant, and there was nothing of interest on the surface. There are three drawers under the desk, and the bottom drawer also has a padlock, which is a suspicious point, there are dozens of drawers and cabinets large and small in the whole office, but there is only one locked!
I didn't bother to rummage through the gender, so I called the monkey over, and together we focused all our attention on the locked drawer.
Picking the lock is our old business, and in less than five seconds, the monkey has already opened the lock.
As soon as the drawer was opened, a bag wrapped in yellow paper appeared before us, with nothing written on it, but it was quite large, and the bag seemed to contain many things. The monkey and I were stunned, so I took the bag out of the drawer and tore it open.
As soon as I tore open the yellow paper bag, a videotape was poked out with a few photos. I recognized the content of the photo at a glance, it was the three scenes of my father and others in a stone cave under Inner Mongolia 30 years ago, so this tape must be the video that accompanied the photo.
The monkey found an old-fashioned VCR in his office and immediately took the tape from me, and he wanted to rewatch the original. The yellow paper bag was still in my hand, and it was only then that I realized that there seemed to be something else in it.
I pulled out the rest of the contents and looked at them, and found that they were several pieces of letterhead, and they were covered with dense small letters, as if they were some kind of document. I saw that the title of the document read: Investigation report on the discovery of three skeletons in the Yinshan Mountains of Inner Mongolia.
Inner Mongolia Yinshan Mountain Range! Three skeletons! These two points alone are enough to entice me to read on!
It took me five minutes to read the entire investigation report, which roughly said that another expedition team of the Institute of Archaeology went to Inner Mongolia to do a geological expedition in the Yinshan Mountains of Inner Mongolia, and accidentally found three skeletons in a sinkhole in the mountains, the sinkhole is more than 50 meters deep, and the four walls are steep and there is no climbing point to find, only some green vegetation grows at the bottom, at first they thought that the three victims may have been some young people who came to the mountain to explore and fell down, because few people come in the mountain, So much so that no one found the three of them until they were killed and turned into bones.
But when the archaeological team went down to the bottom of the sinkhole, they found that it was not so simple, the three skeletons showed no signs of fractures, and the clothes on their bodies had long been rotted into a thin layer of ash, but there was a common suspicion, their necks were all broken! And the fracture is very smooth, so it can be inferred that the three of them may have been killed by someone who cut off their heads with a sharp weapon!
From the above circumstances, it can be concluded that the incident is a criminal murder case, and the three victims may have been murdered and dumped in the wilderness. Just as the staff was about to call the police with a satellite phone, someone suddenly found several pieces of plastic paper bags from under the three skeletons, the paper bags were yellowed and mutilated, and it was impossible to determine what they had fallen from.
But a few things wrapped in the plastic belt surprised everyone present, which were three ID cards and three work permits:
He Zhangqi, born in 1956, was appointed as a field technician at the Institute of Ancient Chinese Culture, History and Archaeology in 1983.
Shi Chang, born in 1949, served as a field technician at the Institute of Chinese Ancient Culture, History and Archaeology in 1983.
Tang Huaping, born in 1952, served as a field technician at the Institute of Chinese Ancient Culture, History and Archaeology in 1983.
They were three of the 17 archaeological teams led by the bearded man 30 years ago, and there were only 12 people left after the entire team returned from Inner Mongolia, and a total of five teammates had been lost.
When the archaeological team learned that the three skeletons they found were actually the predecessors of the archaeological institute 30 years ago, they were very shocked, they quickly cordoned off the scene, and continued to search for more clues in the sinkhole, and soon after, they found a robbery hole in the sinkhole that led to the ground.
The person in charge of this archaeological team felt that this matter was related to the secrets of the archaeological institute 30 years ago, and now it is the Cai team to continue to take over the task of finding the ghost mirror 30 years ago, so the news of the discovery of bones and the robbery of the cave was temporarily blocked, and he specially wrote this report to explain to the Cai team. At the end of the document, there is also a special request: Please bring good people to come as soon as possible, and the specific follow-up matters will be transferred to you to be responsible! Payment will be made two days in advance.
After reading this document, I felt very shocked, the bones of the teammates who searched for the ghost mirror with my father 30 years ago would have been found in the Yinshan Mountains of Inner Mongolia two days ago, and this document was put together with the videotapes and photos sent by the bearded man, but the Cai team did not mention it on the phone at all, probably because the matter was serious, so he wanted to wait for us to come back and tell us in person.
At the moment, my mind is a little messy, from the perspective of time, there are three things that happened almost at the same time, the first one, Xie Zhipeng and Xinyi received an order from their superiors to evacuate Korla to Inner Mongolia. In the second, the bearded man sent a videotape and a photo. The third is this report on the discovery of three skeletons in the Yinshan Mountains. These three things seem to be unrelated, but in my opinion, I feel that there must be a connection between them, Xinyi and their trip to Inner Mongolia this time, maybe they learned that the bones and robbed holes were found in the Yinshan Mountains, and the bearded man sent a package to lead us to Inner Mongolia may also be related to this matter. It's just that I still don't understand, even if the thief hole in the sinkhole is the entrance to the underground, but what will be in it that can attract Xie Zhipeng and Xinyi, a huge secret organization, and the bearded man who has not appeared for 30 years to go at the same time! Isn't this key factor, the ghost mirror, in my hands! Could it be that this mirror in my hand is a fake?
……
While I was reading the report, the monkey had re-watched the tape, and according to him, the original version was almost the same as the one that Team Cai sent me on his mobile phone, and the only three scenes that could be played were played.
Then I told the monkey about this report roughly, and we agreed that the two people who pretended to take away Team Cai yesterday must have mastered the originals of these top-secret files at this moment, so the destination of his trip must be the sinkhole in the Yinshan Mountains of Inner Mongolia, but it stands to reason that they only need to get these files, and they don't need to take Team Cai and Liu Yuan away at all, so it seems that Team Cai may also have more information about the Yinshan Sinkhole, and at present, there should be no danger to life!
The monkey originally only planned to send me back to Beijing and then rush back to my hometown in Xi'an, but now the Cai team and Liu Yuan were taken away by two mysterious people and their whereabouts are unknown, the key is that these two mysterious people also have the same face as me and the monkey, this matter seems too weird, and the situation is urgent, the monkey has made a decision, and intends to set off with me immediately to Inner Mongolia Yinshan.
Heizi went to Kunlun Mountain and didn't know when he would be able to come back to join us, now in this situation, we can't wait for him, the trip to Inner Mongolia is imminent, and we can't delay it for a moment!
