"But why hide it?" Remembering the last time I went to the Cultural Relics Bureau, everyone's expressions were strange, could it really be as "Unknown" magazine said, there is an ulterior secret.

"How do we little shrimp know? You journalists can go and investigate. ”

"But are you sure the coffin is really open?" I thought I was more active than me, and even asked me to investigate.

"In fact, there are rumors in the bureau that it has been opened, and we all know that if we only have a simple protective treatment, it will not be delayed for so long."

"What else do the rumors say?" "You can't say I told you that." "Of course." "Actually, this is just a rumor, I heard it when I went to the toilet, it seems to say that the contents of this ancient coffin have been handed over to the central government." "Really?" "Well, I didn't hear it very clearly, but I felt like that's what they meant. Reporter Lin, I know you have been to the excavation site, can you tell me what the situation was at that time? “

"When I arrived at the scene, the ancient coffin had already been dug up, and I looked at it and thought there was something special, it was a coffin. Oh, there are some strange words on the coffin lid, I don't understand, you Professor Li said that it may be an oracle bone inscription, or it may be some excessive scriptures. "Oracle? But isn't it a coffin of the Ming Dynasty? "You guys about archaeology, you ask me? I don't know. "Is there anything else?"

I remembered the story of the two-headed serpent, so I told him the same. After listening to this, he pondered for a long time before he said, "No wonder it's top secret. "What? What do you think of? "Maybe it's a strange snake like that."

I gave him a blank look and said, "Can you be serious?" “

"Hehe, the world, there are no wonders. The reason why I studied archaeology is because I think that ancient times are actually very magical, and the wisdom of the ancients is often beyond our imagination. I'll tell you that I actually just graduated from college and came here, and I didn't have my turn to do anything this time, but I begged for a long time to get this opportunity, just to take a look at this ancient coffin. ”

It turned out to be a child who had just come out of the ivory tower, no wonder he was so curious. If it was an old employee, he would have been used to this arrangement, so he wouldn't gossip with me.

He sent me just to see the ancient coffin, and I thought it was because my treatment had improved. Chatting and chatting about the fact that I was about to arrive at the museum, but unfortunately, there was a traffic jam again, and I could only sigh when I looked at the museum not far away. I took out my business card from my bag and handed it to him, "What else can you tell me in the future, we can continue to discuss it." “

He took the business card and glanced at it and said, "Coincidentally, my surname is Lin, and my name is Lin Zihao." "Yes, then we are also a family, you have to call me sister."

He sighed and said, "Okay. ”

Looking at his innocent appearance, I really felt like my sister loved my younger brother, "You told me so many things, if I reported them all, wouldn't you be afraid of trouble from above?" ”

Unexpectedly, he actually looked at me and said, "You promised me, don't say that I told you." "I won't name names, but the staff of the Cultural Relics Bureau, your leaders are not easy to investigate you."

He was a little anxious and pointed at me and said, "You! ”

Seeing that he was anxious, I smiled and said, "Funny to you, first of all, our newspaper will definitely not report this kind of gossip." I'm just as curious as you, don't worry, I'm not bad at remembering, investigating reports that are just fanning the flames, and I just want to know the truth. ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, otherwise, why am I talking to you so much?"

"You have to swear!"

I sighed, thinking to myself that if I was a college graduate, if I was really a bad person, would I be able to believe my vows? At this moment, we finally arrived at our destination.

I said helplessly: "If I lie to you, I will never find a boyfriend, and I will never be able to get married, okay." With that, I opened the door and got out of the car. He also hurriedly turned off the engine and got out of the car, caught up with me and said, "I believe you." I smiled and shook my head.

The staff moved the box to the exhibition hall that the museum had already prepared, and everyone opened the box and carefully carried the ancient coffin out, Lin Zihao was also helping, and he was really excited to see it. Finally, the ancient coffin was put into the stage intact.

After I took a few photos, I walked into the platform and saw this ancient coffin up close again, and Lin Zihao also leaned over to look at it carefully. Suddenly, a familiar image flashed through my mind, the strange cloth on the corpse, wasn't the text on it the same as the text on the lid of this coffin? No wonder I felt familiar before, I always felt that I had seen it somewhere, it turned out to be here!

But I wasn't sure, so I immediately flipped through the photos in the camera, fortunately I haven't sorted out the photos in the past few days, and there should still be in the camera. Sure enough, I turned it over, I enlarged the photo, and compared it next to each other, and sure enough, it was the same, but the cloth was incomplete, just a part of the middle of the coffin lid.

Lin Zihao saw that there was something wrong with me, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" I was just about to answer him, when someone came to us and said that the leader was coming and told us to get out of the way. So I said to him, "I'll talk to you later." ”

After we got out of the way, it was the director of the museum who came, and Professor Li, and some other people, I didn't know, and the staff next to me told me that it was Director Lin of the Cultural Relics Bureau, and I thought to myself that I had met two "acquaintances" today. They stood next to the coffin and started talking, and the staff around them signaled that I could take pictures, so I started taking pictures.

When the ceremony was finally over, I wanted to interview Director Lin and the curator, but they were about to leave after just a few general words, and the staff said they would not accept interviews with reporters. I was scolding in my heart, but I saw Lin Zihao talking to Director Lin inside.

Wait, Director Lin, Lin Zihao, they shouldn't be father and son, right? It's no wonder that just after graduating from college, he can enter such a good unit as the Cultural Relics Bureau, and he, a low-level staff, must have learned some inside information through his father. After I had this idea, the more I looked at the two of them, the more I felt that they looked a little alike.

Originally, I was skeptical of Lin Zihao's words before, but now it seems that the credibility has improved. After watching him and Director Lin separate, I quietly came behind him, "Lin Zihao! ”

He was startled, turned to me and said, "Surprise me, I'm looking for you?" What did you just find? ”

"If you want to know, you have to answer me a question truthfully."

"What's the problem?"

"What is the relationship between you and Director Lin?"

When he heard my words, his smile froze. Scratching his head, he said, "It doesn't matter." “

The more he tried to cover it up, the more suspicious he became. "If you don't tell the truth, I won't tell you." With that, I turned to leave. He ran up to me and said, "Don't be like this, actually, in fact, Director Lin is my father, low-key and low-key." “

Sure enough, as I thought, it seems that this matter is really complicated. I said to him, "Let's go out and talk, there's too many people here." "Okay."

We walked to the square outside, and I saw that there were no related people around, so I said to him, "Do you know about the murder that happened on the Yangtze River a few days ago? “

He nodded and said, "I heard." "At that time, I went to the scene to interview, and there was nothing else on the body, only a rag, and the rag had the same words written on it as on this ancient coffin." "What? Are you sure? “

I flipped through the pictures in my camera and showed them to him. "See for yourself, it's the words on that rag."

He took it and looked at it carefully. "Really, that's a coincidence. Is there any connection between this? ”

"Do you know what these words mean?"

"I don't know right now, but if I give me a little time, I'll definitely look into it." "Okay, you go back and study what these words mean, I'll go back and see how the case is now, and then we'll get in touch." "Okay, add a WeChat, you send me the photo. Are we doing this a secret investigation? It felt so exciting. “

I thought it was a little funny to see his excited look, but I didn't say anything, we opened our phones and added WeChat. After that, he drove me back to the company.

On the way, Lin Zihao kept talking excitedly about his wild conjectures, which to me sounded like the dreams of an innocent boy who had just left the ivory tower.

Lin Zihao's words blew in my ears like the wind, and the question I cared about was: The police said that the time of death of the deceased was before the discovery of the ancient coffin, but the deceased had strange words on the ancient coffin before his death, what kind of connection is there between the two? Or is it just a coincidence? Perhaps there is such strange writing elsewhere.

Lin Zihao finally quieted down, and I seized the opportunity to say, "Look at how you look like this, and talk so much?" ”

"That's not right!"

"That's right, I also think it's very contradictory, it stands to reason that you should be a restrained and quiet boy with such a look."

"It's not this, I mean, didn't the murder on the side of the Yangtze River happen before the ancient coffin was dug up?"

He finally got to the point. I couldn't help but roll my eyes and say, "yes." ”

"That! How could that person know the words on the ancient coffin in advance? ”

"So, you're going to go back and study what the words mean, and I'm going to ask what the case is going on. We work together to do our job. ”

"I can't wait, but you haven't sent it to me yet."

"Remember, don't tell anyone. We're nosy with rats right now. ”

"I know, this time it was really strange, in fact, there was something new in the bureau before, and my dad knew that I liked it, and he would tell me and tell me to see it. But this time he didn't want me to know anything, and the more he did, the more I wanted to investigate it myself. I saw you come to the bureau for an interview that day, and I heard that you had been to the scene, so I came to you today, and I believe that the two of us will be able to figure out the truth of the matter. ”

His firm eyes made me understand that the more secrets I wanted to hide, the more people wanted to get to the bottom of it. And people often choose to turn a blind eye to the realities that lie before them.

When I returned to the newspaper, I put down my things and went to the "Public Procuratorate and Law Mouth" to inquire about the news of Sister Liu, who used to study in the same university as me, and was a senior sister who was several years older than me. I got a surprising message from her.

When I arrived at Sister Liu's office, I moved a chair and sat next to Sister Liu, who was writing a manuscript on the computer. She saw me sitting down and asked, "What's the matter, what's the matter that I can't figure out?" ”

"Sister Liu, it's nothing, I just want to learn about the murder case on the Yangtze River last time, what's the situation now?"

"Well, it hasn't worked out yet, but something strange happened."

"Strange?" "Remember the old man who fainted? In the early hours of last night, he woke up and secretly went to the police station to turn himself in. "What? It turned out to be him? I thought he was just an innocent passerby! I didn't expect it to be the main character. “
