Chapter 47
In the shed, the experts still could not determine the identity of the tomb owner after a preliminary examination, and the most final opinion was to reseal the sarcophagus and the corpse and transport it back to the capital, and use isotope carbon 14 analysis to determine its age, and finally determine whether the ancient corpse was the queen of the wind herself.
Ruicheng County drove a crane to lift the moonlight sarcophagus on a truck, and then was escorted into Beijing overnight by the staff of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, and the archaeological excavation work was temporarily over.
The leaders of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage asked Professor She to return to Beijing with him, after all, he is one of the few authoritative experts in this field in China, and Professor She could not shirk it, so he had no choice but to say that he would arrive later.
When Mr. Xue and Youliang arrived at Fenglingdu, the experts had already left here, and the two of them were in the air again.
As the saying goes, "there is no impermeable wall", when they and Mei Niang had dinner in the Fenglingdu restaurant, the diners were drinking wine and relish about the discovery of the Fenghou Mound and the moonlight sarcophagus and the incorruptible ancient corpse in the back mountain.
"Five thousand years, the corpse seems to be asleep, what a god." Someone exclaimed slightly drunk.
"You don't know about this," the shopkeeper of the restaurant picked up on the side, "I heard that the moonlight sarcophagus is a good thing, let alone five thousand years when the corpse is put in, it will never decay, and it is a hundred times stronger than the crystal coffin in the Chairman Memorial Hall in Beijing." ”
"Moonlight sarcophagus?" Mr. Xue's ears stood up and he became alert.
"How much is it worth?" Someone is curious.
"How much?" The shopkeeper smiled and said, "That's priceless, money can't buy it, and eighty percent of it will be sent to the memorial hall." ”
"Alas, if our buddies had known that Lu Dao had dug it out first, they wouldn't have to worry about it in this life." The man who drank sighed in frustration.
"Don't want a little life? Everything that goes underground belongs to the state, you know? ”
"You say, 'Is that corpse really the queen of the wind?' I heard that the tomb is all new soil, and eighty percent of it has already been stolen. ”
"What's even more strange, the ancient corpse still has a straw in its mouth, like a poisonous snake, could it be that people in ancient times grew that thing?"
"That's not called a straw, I heard that there is a most powerful expert, surnamed She, at a glance it is called 'ovipositor', I also wonder, how can a man grow that thing?"
"Women don't grow long." The crowd burst into laughter.
has a conscience to understand that where is the body of the queen of the wind, it is obviously the old man of the Confucian barbarian Guo Ruchang, or he buried it with Secretary Xing.
In the conversation with the locals, Mr. Xue quickly sorted out the clues.
"Professor She has already entered Beijing with him, and we are one step late." He said.
"Mr. Xue, do you have to see my father?" Arira asked cautiously.
"Hmph." Mr. Xue glanced at him and didn't say anything.
Youliang originally planned to lead the unfathomable master Mr. Xue to Professor She, so that he could profit from it, and take the opportunity to find the Yang Devouring Needle and rescue Erya, but now that I think about it, this matter is not so simple, Professor She is a snake demon, this Mr. Xue is undoubtedly a demon, if you can't figure it out, they are a gang at all, isn't it self-defeating?
But if you don't do this, not only will you not be able to save the kidnapped Erya, but you will also not be able to touch the yang needle, and you will have to endure the torture of the cold of the yin needle every once in a while, maybe you will not wake up that day, and you will end up with the same fate as Zeng Jing.
"If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger?" Youliang is determined to let go of it.
"Let's go to the tomb and have a look." Mr. Xue stood up and walked out of the shop, Youliang followed behind with Mei Niang in his arms, and it was completely dark at this moment.
After the moonlight sarcophagus was escorted into Beijing, Secretary Qin and others returned to Ruicheng and immediately convened a meeting of the serious crime team in the conference room of the county party committee, and the personnel of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security and the provincial department were also present.
Regarding the case of villager Guo Erxi, Secretary Qin can no longer hide it.
"It's been six years, and this matter has tormented me all the time," Secretary Qin looked around with heavy eyes, and then said, "But I am a party member, and I must obey the decisions of the organization and keep my mouth shut." ”
Everyone in the conference room held their breath and realized that what Secretary Qin of the county party committee was going to say next must be extraordinary.
"I was present with Guo Youcai, the mayor of Fenglingdu Town, and Guo Youfu, the public security commissioner, and we witnessed someone killing Guo Erxi."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned and looked at Secretary Qin in surprise.
"One day six years ago, I received an internal phone call from the capital informing me that the chief had sent someone to Fenglingdu to investigate the case, and asked me to fully cooperate in private" Secretary Qin knows that the road is rich and unreliable, rich and too righteous, and sooner or later this matter will be exposed, it is better to pick yourself up now, anyway, Chinese politics is a son of heaven and a courtier, the chief has stepped down, and he has not reaped any benefits from it, there is no need to put his life on the person who is too powerful, "those who know the times are handsome" This old saying is an irrefutable truth.
When he recounted what had happened, there was silence in the conference room for a while, no one spoke, and the air seemed to condense.
After a long time, the director of the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security pondered and said: "Secretary Qin, this matter is not trivial, you need to make a record." ”
Secretary Qin nodded: "No problem, I guarantee that what I said today is the truth." ”
"Father-in-law, you are finally willing to listen, I have long said that Guo Erxi is a female ghost." Guo Youcai sat there and muttered quietly.
"Comrades, Secretary Qin's revelation involves state secrets, and no one is allowed to divulge them, otherwise they will bear criminal responsibility, and I will report to the ministry leaders as soon as possible and listen to the instructions of my superiors. As for Guo Erxi's case, the direction of the investigation of the serious crime team should be adjusted, and if you do specific research, is it clear? The director said with a heavy heart.
The meeting was dismissed, and Secretary Qin shrank on the chair, as if he had collapsed.
"Father-in-law, will that ghost come back?" Guo Youcai muttered in his mouth, although "Huima Crazy" was cured, his brain seemed to have become dull, and the whole person was stupid, so he had been recuperating at home and did not return to work in Fenglingdu Town Government.
Secretary Qin looked at his son-in-law helplessly and smiled bitterly, but did not answer.
It was night, under the faint moonlight, Youfu came to the woods in the back mountain alone, the temporary shed had been demolished, the big pit left by the excavation of the ancient tomb was still there, the messy footprints left on the ground were clearly recognizable, and there was no one in the surroundings.
"Guo Erxi, now you can finally look at it, and your murderer will definitely be punished by the law, and when things come to an eyebrow, I will tell Guo Er's sister-in-law to apply for state compensation, and life will slowly get better, you can rest assured." Youfu stood in front of the tomb and said softly in his mouth.
Not long after, two people came from the bushes, it was Mr. Xue and Youliang.
Mr. Xue stopped abruptly and whispered, "Don't make a sound, the aura here is very weird." ”
Youliang was dragged behind a tree by him, and under the moonlight, he recognized that the person standing next to the tomb in the distance was Guo Youfu, the younger brother of the town's public security commissioner and mayor.
Mr. Xue sniffed, squinted his eyes and looked around, nodded and whispered: "It turns out that this is the forbidden place of 'ghost hugging incense', I don't know who set up this feng shui puzzle, so it seems that what 'Fenghou Mound' is pure nonsense, this is already a matter after the Han Dynasty or the Two Jin Dynasty." ”
Youliang Wenyan secretly admired Mr. Xue in his heart, he had heard Song Diweng talk about the Guo family's old house, and heard the story of Guo Pu in the Eastern Jin Dynasty who set up the 'ghost hugging incense' feng shui puzzle.
This person has a great background, and he has studied Chinese folklore, Buddhism, Confucianism and feng shui, but I don't know if he can solve the mystery of Blue Moon Valley, but he can't ask it yet, otherwise the lies he made up about his life experience will be a gang.
"Hmph, the person who set up the bureau never imagined that in the future, even people with moonlight sarcophagi would be pulled away by cars." Mr. Xue said with a smile.
"Mr. Xue, you know so much." Arira couldn't help but praise it.
"Shhhh Mr. Xue dragged Youliang to his low body and hid in the shadow of the big tree.
Youfu also seemed to hear something, he looked around and asked in a loud voice, "Who is here?" ”
The voice echoed in the night sky, and the chirping of the mantis insects that could still be heard just now came to an abrupt end, and everything was silent.
There was a sudden noise in the bushes, and a black shadow like a wild boar rushed straight towards Youfu.
Youfu was taken aback, because he changed his career to work as an internal clerk and did not carry a gun, in a panic, he picked up a wooden stick with one arm and tried to resist, but the soles of his feet slipped and the whole person fell down the grave.
The black shadow stood on top of the mound, raised its head and let out a long, painful hiss at the night sky: "Meow"
It was only then that Arira finally saw that it was a big civet.
Hearing a cat meow, Youfu settled down before relieving his heart, if it was a big wild boar, it would be troublesome, but this black cat is really big enough, it looks like it weighs more than a hundred pounds, and I have never seen it.
Youfu found that the big cat didn't seem to be hostile to him, so he vigilantly climbed up from the other side of the tomb, but the wooden stick in his hand still didn't dare to let go.
"Strange, how could there be such an old civet here?" Mr. Xue said to himself in surprise.
Under the moonlight, the big civet cat's hind paws scratched the soil sadly, with tears in its eyes, and the mournful cry of "meow" in its throat.
Youliang stared at the big civet in surprise, was it remembering the dead old man Guo? may have sensed that Guo Ruchang's body had been taken away, so he ran here from the navel.
At this moment, Mei Niang quietly got out of the bushes, limped towards the big civet, came to its feet with a "meow" in her mouth, and gently rubbed her thighs with her cheeks, as if to comfort the big civet.
The big civet stretched out its big tongue and gently licked the mane on Mei Niang's neck, in the end, it was the same kind, and there was no vendetta.
Youliang behind the tree is in a hurry, and now it is completely exposed, in case Youfu discovers himself, he can't explain it in front of Mr. Xue.
There was a howling wind in the night sky, and a huge bat circled and slowly descended.
