Chapter 58: The Merchant's Swan Song (6)
Xiao Yan was lying on the sofa and was even annoyed and uncomfortable, he desperately wanted to go back to his dream to see Liu Yanyu, he wanted to continue this dream as Xiao Sheng, he wanted to know what happened between Liu Yanyu and Xiao Sheng next.
Through these meetings with Liu Yanyu, Xiao Yan can be sure that the owner of this tomb is Liu Yanyu. And he concluded through analysis that Liu Yanyu died after Xiao Sheng, so he was still eager to know who built this tomb for Liu Yanyu.
The mother of "Yanyu Pavilion", she doesn't have that financial resources. Although Li Congqian was rich, he was close to death in the Southern Tang Dynasty at that time, and he didn't have enough time. In Xiao Yan's dream, Liu Yanyu only came into contact with these few people, and he couldn't figure it out even after racking his brains.
I couldn't sleep, I couldn't figure it out, Xiao Yan felt helpless. He stood up and moved his muscles and bones, lying on the sofa for so long, he naturally had back pain, but at this time, Zhang Ke suddenly called.
Zhang Ke's voice on the phone seemed very anxious, and he kept urging Xiao Yan to hurry to the archaeological excavation site, but he didn't say anything specific. Xiao Yan was a little confused for a while, but he didn't think much about it, hung up the phone and simply cleaned up, and rushed to the archaeological excavation site.
There were many people gathered in a tent in the middle of the archaeological site, and Xiao Yan squeezed in with great effort. He walked up to Zhang Ke's side and patted Zhang Ke on the shoulder and asked, "What's the matter with calling me over in such a hurry?" β
Zhang Ke turned to look at Xiao Yan as if he had seen a savior, and he said excitedly, "You are here." β
"What's going on, what are so many people doing here?"
Zhang Ke paused, thought carefully and asked, "Do you remember that there was a soldier's helmet in the coffin?" β
Xiao Yan nodded, looked at Zhang Ke blankly and replied, "Remember, what's wrong?" β
"The helmet is missing?"
"Gone?" Xiao Yan looked at him in disbelief and exclaimed, "How could that thing not be seen?" β
"I don't know, why don't you gather everyone together and ask."
"Is there anything that looks like that?"
"Nope." Zhang Ke shook his head and sighed.
The archaeological site is surrounded by high barbed wire, and there are also security guards in it for 24 hours, so it stands to reason that ordinary people cannot enter and exit at will, and there is no trace of the barbed wire being crossed.
Now the only possibility left is that the insiders did it, so Zhang Kecai gathered everyone together to check them one by one. The result of the investigation was that each of them had alibi evidence or witnesses, and if some of them were to cover up each other, then there were also personnel standing guard at the entrances and exits twenty-four hours a day, and it was impossible for anyone to take such a large object out of their noses. If they hid the helmet at the site, then Zhang Ke had turned the archaeological site upside down and couldn't find it. In the end, he came to an unrealistic conclusion - the thing was gone.
"What are you? Are you looking hard to see if there's anything you haven't looked for? Xiao Yan looked at Zhang Ke and said excitedly.
Zhang Ke looked at Xiao Yan with an aggrieved face and replied, "I've looked for itγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» we've looked for it, even under the table, we've searched it several times." β
"And where is this big thing going?"
"You ask me, who am I going to ask?"
When the two of them were arguing, another colleague who was sent back to the institute by Zhang Ke called him back. After listening to the call, his face immediately sank, "The thing was found, but can you tell me why it is in your office?" β
"What do you say? How is this possible? β
"Is it true, won't we know when we go back to the institute?" After speaking, Zhang Ke dragged Xiao Yan back to the research institute.
Xiao Yan and Zhang Ke walked into his office together, and there was only the colleague who had just called in the room. The colleague looked at Xiao Yan's desk and said, "The helmet is there." β
They followed the man's gaze, helmets facing out of the window, respectfully placed next to the guqin on the desk.
"How did it end up here?" Xiao Yan asked in surprise.
"How do I know, didn't you get it back?"
"How could it be me, I haven't been to the scene in the past few days, if you don't believe it, then you can go and see the surveillance."
"Could it be that you got it back and forgot about it?"
"If it's not me, I'm not me, why don't you believe it?" Xiao Yan seemed to have been greatly wronged, and he kicked the table leg coldly.
The table shook violently a few times, and the teacups that had been placed on the table also collapsed. The undrunk water from the cup flipped out and ran down the table under the helmet. Seeing this, Xiao Yan hurriedly stepped forward and hugged the helmet. He was glad that there wasn't much water in the cup, but he suddenly threw the helmet out.
Zhang Ke's eyes were quick, and he jumped to catch the helmet and scolded angrily, "What are you doing?" Is this a relic? β
"There's a pair of eyes insideγ»γ»γ»γ»γ» inside." Xiao Yan replied timidly.
"Nonsense." Zhang Ke held his helmet in his arms and looked at it carefully, "Is there one?" Have it? Where is it? Open your eyes and say γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» blind"
Before he finished speaking, his body suddenly trembled, and his face twitched. His hands stiffened, and his helmet fell to the ground.
The helmet was standing on the ground, turning in the direction of Xiao Yan, and stopped when facing Xiao Yan. The inside of the golden helmet was black, and two things that looked like eyes were glowing and staring at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan felt very frightened, and changed his position back and forth to avoid this chilling light. But no matter what position he shifted, the helmet would follow him and stop, facing him.
"Why does it keep following me? Somehow to get him away for me? Xiao Yan said timidly.
Liu Yanyu suddenly appeared in front of everyone, he walked up to Xiao Yan and curtsied, "General, because this is your battle armor." β
"Liu Yanyu γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
"The Liu Yanyu you mentioned before is her?" Zhang Ke pointed at Liu Yanyu and asked in surprise.
"Enγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
"Hellγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»" Zhang Ke and another colleague reacted and ran out of Xiao Yan's office screaming.
Liu Yanyu didn't show any hostility in the previous meetings, so when she appeared, Xiao Yan didn't feel scared anymore, he said, "When we met before, you found out that I wasn't the general you said I was, why do you call me a general now?" β
"No, you're the general." Liu Yanyu looked at him and said affirmatively.
