On the third day after Lao Jiang expelled Luo Jin from the Fulong Gang, everything was fine except for the occasional complaint from some people. Hu Tao, the acting elder designated by Lao Jiang www.biquge.info is low-key and introverted, and he can compete with Luo Jin in terms of ability and popularity. When Luo Jin was expelled from the Fulong Gang, Hu Tao quickly took over Luo Jin's affairs without causing much commotion.

Lao Jiang drove the car, went around his garage, and saw the poker face standing at the intersection from a distance. He was dressed as usual in a black down jacket, with a raised collar that covered his chin. He let out a nonchalant sigh and rubbed his hands in the air.

When Lao Jiang parked the car next to the poker face, he noticed that he slowly showed a shallow smile.

"Get in the car." Lao Jiang said to the poker face in the car. Open the door, and there is a file bag in the passenger seat.

"What is this?" Poker Face didn't pick it up and asked.

"You asked for a blood sample to be tested. The results were quite astonishing. See for yourself. Lao Jiang had already read this report, and if it wasn't for the poker face personally handing it over to him, he would definitely suspect that there was something wrong with this blood sample.

"What kind of blood?"

Lao Jiang smiled mysteriously, "Fox, I didn't expect it." ”

"I see." Poker's face was perfunctory, and at the same time his brow furrowed deeply.

"What are you thinking? Tell me, you really brought this blood from Daji's tomb? "No one believes in this evil," how could there be fresh fox blood in Daji's tomb? ”

"Well, I'm afraid I don't know yet." Poker Face carefully read the report and put it back into the file bag.

Lao Jiang shook his head, "You, you really haven't changed at all." How's it going, are you still used to living in the house? "Lao Jiang doesn't know that the quirk of poker face: as long as he leaves his bed, he won't be able to sleep. Perhaps for people who have lost their parents at an early age, the most secure place is their own bed.

"Anyway, let's bear with it." Lao Jiang said with relief.

Poker Face nodded silently, "After returning to Hangzhou, I went back once." Before Yu Yue and Ah Shen returned. ”

"What are you going to do back?"

"Find something. Do you remember, I have a colleague named Zhou Shan? ”

"Remember, it's the honest man in his thirties who is still alone." Of course Lao Jiang remembers. The first time he and Zhou Shan met was in Ah Shen's archaeological research institute, when Ah Shen was only helping out, and Zhou Shan was in charge of checking and checking Ah Shen's research results.

"He's dead."

Lao Jiang thought that he had heard it wrong, so he deliberately lowered his voice on the radio, "What did you say?" ”

"He died in Daji's grave......" Pokerface's voice trembled for a moment.

"That's not right. Didn't he come with you to the U.S. for a seminar? On the plane back, something happened to your archaeological team...... How could he have died in Daji's tomb? Lao Jiang's car drove steadily, but his voice was slowly becoming anxious, "Are you sure that person is Zhou Shan?" ”

"I found the badge of the archaeological team from him. Moreover, he died because he was caught in the trap of Daji's tomb. Poker Face looked at the scenery flashing by outside the window and recalled the scene, "There can be no mistake." ”

"Who is the person who went to the seminar with you?" Lao Jiang asked, "An imposter has been by your side for so long, haven't you even noticed?" ”

"Hmm. Zhou Shan is usually more introverted and reticent. Poker Face said and took out two badges from his pocket, one was his own and the other was Zhou Shan's. The reason why the poker face knew at a glance that the badge belonged to Zhou Shan was because the name of the archaeological team member would be engraved on the back of the badge, and all the archaeological team members would carry the badge with them. "I probably didn't tell you that this badge is not such a simple badge, it is a small database, and all the research results of our archaeological team are kept in this badge. Of course, outsiders don't know. Many people think it's just the emblem of an archaeological team. Poker Face fiddled with the badge in his hand.

"It's not like you don't know anything about Daji's tomb, do you? I heard that Ah Shen say that you seem to be very familiar with Daji's tomb. Lao Jiang asked tentatively.

Ah Shen didn't continue to hide it from Lao Jiang, "That's right, I once received a puzzle and a bronze medal, and the result of the puzzle is the map of Daji's tomb. Now that I think about it, that map was probably sent to me by someone with a heart. ”

"Something to do with Zhou Shan?" Old Jiang was puzzled.

"I guess it should have been sent to me by someone who knew that Zhou Shan was going to Daji's tomb." Poker Face pondered, "Most likely, this person also knows that Zhou Shan in the archaeological team is not the real Zhou Shan. That's why they sent me the map and the bronze medal so I could confirm it. ”

"Can you show me the jade plaque you found in Daji's tomb?" Lao Jiang asked.

"Remember the bronze medal photo that Yu Yue sent you? And it's the same. "I think the reason why the man sent me the bronze medal was to tell me that I was looking for a jade medal that was exactly the same as it was in Daji's tomb." After speaking, he pulled out a silver chain from his neck and took out the jade plate.

Lao Jiang parked the car on the side of the road, took the jade plate, and observed it carefully. I saw that this jade plate is light green throughout, extremely clear, without a single flaw, and a lifelike nine-tailed fox is engraved on the front, not only the shape is vivid, but the smooth fur color of the nine-tailed fox can almost be seen. On the back, like on the bronze plaque, there is an oracle bone inscription, which is so finely carved that it is almost unrecognizable to the naked eye. What shocked Lao Jiang was that the eyes of the nine-tailed fox were blood-red. He carefully groped for the nine-tailed fox's eyes with his hand, "What are these eyes made of?" ”

Poker Face shook his head, "I studied it, and there is no trace of this piece of jade." Pokerface tucked the jade card back into his clothes. Nunu chin and let Lao Jiang continue driving.

Lao Jiang turned the steering wheel and suddenly thought of something, "The emblem of your archaeological team is also a fox, is there any connection between this?" You've been refusing to tell me before, why? ”

Poker lowered his head, as if he was pondering whether he should tell Lao Jiang about it. Finally, he saw Ah Shen standing a few hundred meters away, "Let's talk about it later." ”

After Ah Shen got into the car, he sensitively noticed the solemn atmosphere between Poker Face and Lao Jiang, "What, what are you discussing again?" ”

Old Jiang smiled honestly, "It's not a discussion, how can I meet Duanmu Long." ”

"That guy, is the one recommended to you by Zhou Lao, who can help you solve the dried corpses in the old mansion?" Ah Shen still remembers that at that time, Zhou Lao mysteriously stuffed Lao Jiang with a business card. advised, don't let Duanmu Long know that he recommended it.

"I heard that this Duanmu Dragon is a famous physicist. Why would Elder Zhou recommend him? Pokerface asked.

"You may not know that he suddenly announced that he would not continue his physics research, and then he disappeared from academia altogether. It is still called an outlier by physicists. ”

"I sent someone to check, and the address on this business card is in the Ninth Ring Block."

"What is the Ninth Ring Block?" Shen stared at the address on his business card.

Poker Face looked at Lao Jiang and motioned for him to explain. Then he closed his eyes and recuperated.

Lao Jiang explained, "The Nine Ring Block, also known as the Nine Streets and Eighteen Alleys, was the main street in the state capital during the Ming and Qing dynasties, and later the Qing government collapsed, after the Republic of China and the warlord melee period, until now, the city has been continuously expanded and rebuilt, and many places there have been demolished. Lao Jiang swept the business card in Ah Shen's hand, "That address, I don't know if I can find it." ”

After Lao Jiang finished speaking, the air in the car suddenly quieted down, and for a moment, no one spoke. Poker Face suddenly said, "Ah Shen, when you were a child, you also lived in that neighborhood. Poker Face still had his eyes closed, and his voice was so soft that he couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Ah Shen was surprised, "Where did you live when you were a child?" Why did you move later? ”

Lao Jiang looked at the poker face, and his eyes were full of worry. Of course, Lao Jiang knew that Ah Shen had to move out of the Ninth Ring Street because of the death of his parents. After that, the Ninth Ring Road was demolished. "Of course, because of the demolition, like my family, I had to move out of the block."

Ah Shen didn't hear the cover-up in Lao Jiang's words, and suddenly smiled, "With the identity of your ancestors for generations, it's difficult not to be conspicuous in the block, right?" ”

Lao Jiang smiled, "That was still when my grandfather was alive, and the gang was not as big as it is now." It didn't expand rapidly until my dad took over, and by that time, we had already moved out of the Ninth Ring Road. ”

Chatting and chatting, the car had been driving for more than an hour unconsciously, and when it was close to the Ninth Ring Road, Lao Jiang suddenly stepped on the brakes heavily.

"What's wrong?" Due to inertia, Ah Shen threw himself on the back of the seat in front of him, "The brakes are so hard." ”

"Look?" Lao Jiang sent someone to check the current situation of the Jiuhuan neighborhood early in the morning, and what he reported at the time was that the government's demolition plan in the Jiuhuan neighborhood had been shelved because of the collective protests of some nail households. Later, for some reason, the nail households moved out of the Ninth Ring Road almost overnight. At the same time, the government department has not mentioned the demolition plan of the Ninth Ring Road block. Over the decades, the Ninth Ring Road has become an old, empty city, gradually forgotten on the fringes of the city.

"How can such a big place be forgotten?" Ah Shen looked from afar, and the entire Ninth Ring Road was shrouded in a gray mist.

"Later, when the government was planning, the periphery was planned as industrial land, and for decades, almost all the industrial waste was discharged into the Ninth Ring Road block, which was very polluting." Lao Jiang said, took out the mask and handed it to Poker Face and Ah Shen respectively, "If it weren't for Duanmulong's business card, I really didn't know, he was also from the Ninth Ring District." ”

"This place has become like this, Duanmu Long is probably the same as us, and he is no longer here for a long time, right?" Shen said.

Lao Jiang nodded, "Of course." ”

Ah Shen looked at the dilapidated and old residential buildings shrouded in fog in front of him, and said with a crying voice, "Since everyone is gone, what are we doing here?" Look at the miasma there, I won't go. If you go, you might be poisoned and killed immediately. ”

"My subordinates found out that not long ago, Duanmu Long returned here and took something from his old mansion." After speaking, Lao Jiang and Poker Face both put on masks and got out of the car.

"Since everything has been taken away, why don't we do it again? Isn't it okay to find Duanmu Long directly, besides, we're just looking for Duanmu Long to drop a demon to get rid of a demon, so investigate people's privacy, okay? Ah Shen's brows couldn't be tighter, and he looked at Lao Jiang and Poker walking forward without looking back, gritted his teeth, and got out of the car. As soon as he got out of the car, he regretted it, and even though he was wearing a mask, there was still a choking smell in the air, accompanied by a strong stench that penetrated his nostrils. Intense nausea hit him, and he covered his mouth and tried to get back into the car. only heard a beep, and the car was locked by Lao Jiang.
