The scholar and I followed Liu to the Public Security Bureau. The bureau was brightly lit, and it seemed that the security was sufficient. The Public Security Bureau is a small two-story building, and through the back door on the first floor is a separate small courtyard. The forensic department is located in this small courtyard.

The three of us walked and chatted, and just after passing the back door on the first floor, we vaguely heard a rapid shouting in the duty room of the forensic department, as if someone was calling for help. The three of us woke up most of the time at once. Liu Suo rushed over with one arrow step, and the scholar and I followed. The yard is not big, but even if we struggled to run through, it took more than ten seconds.

When I arrived at the duty room, I saw that the room was messy, and Zhao Wei was pale and lying unconscious on the ground. The window on the back wall of the house was open, and I grabbed a chair, stepped on it, and looked out, and saw a man running away in the night. That person was none other than a young man! The scholar shouted for support in the front yard, and Liu pinched Zhao Wei's man with his fingers. After more than ten seconds, the footsteps outside were messy, and it was obvious that the police on duty ran to support.

Liu asked me if I saw the suspect, and I was so excited that I lied and said that I didn't see it clearly, and only saw a back.

After a while, Zhao Wei woke up and turned around, looked at us, and didn't say a word for a long time. "Fuck, don't be such a bear! What's going on? Liu asked anxiously.

Zhao Wei slowed down for a while, and then explained the ins and outs. It turned out that Xiao Zhao was on duty tonight, and he came to the duty room after eating. Originally, there was also a colleague on duty, and it happened that the colleague had something at home, so he had already said hello and said that he would be a little late. Xiao Zhao felt bored himself, so he sat at his desk and played with his mobile phone. Suddenly, he heard footsteps outside the door, thinking that a colleague was coming to be on duty, so he didn't look up. After a while, he didn't see his colleague talking, Xiao Zhao looked up in confusion, and almost didn't scare himself to death. There was a person standing in front of him, where was his colleague, it was Lao Song who had just finished the funeral! Zhao Wei's hair stood up, to say that this forensic doctor has generally seen the world, and he has seen a lot of bizarre things, and his courage is generally not small, but he suddenly saw his dead colleague standing in front of him without a sound, even if he was bold, he was really shocked. Zhao Wei rolled back, and even the person with the chair fell to the ground, and when he looked up again, there was still any old Song. Xiao Zhao thought he was dazzled, rubbed his eyes, and looked around again, there was really nothing out of the ordinary. He thought that he had misread it just now, and was about to pick up the chair when a pair of powerful hands instantly stuck Xiao Zhao's neck. Xiao Zhao couldn't turn his head, he was scared to death, the desire to survive and the power to resist fear burst out together, his right leg kicked back, his hands propped up on the table, and he broke free from the shackles with a bang. Then he jumped forward desperately, and then turned around again, only to see a rustic, disheveled, not tall, childish boy standing in the house.

Zhao Wei was at a loss, and just when he was about to ask who this young man was, the earth boy moved extremely quickly, and he instantly pasted it, and put an iron knee on Zhao Wei's stomach, and wanted to pinch his neck with his hand. Zhao Wei struggled desperately while shouting for help, slowly finding it difficult to breathe, feeling that his brain was deprived of oxygen, and his whole body was weak. Then I fainted...

Liu Suo and the police who rushed over were all angry, damn it, someone dared to go to the public security bureau to make trouble, and this was worth it. While reporting to the leaders of the bureau, Liu asked people to send Xiao Zhao to the hospital. At the same time, a technical investigation of the scene was carried out. According to the regulations, I, the scholar, and Liu were all required to be questioned in the transcript. I didn't say that the person who was going to kill Zhao Wei was a young man. I always felt that the boy was unusual, and if he was recruited, he might be exposed in the hands of me and the scholar.

After making the record, Liu went to attend an emergency meeting held by the Public Security Bureau to deploy the investigation work. After the scholar and I said goodbye to Liu Suo, while slowly walking to the residence, we told the scholar that I saw that the young man was the murderer, and then began to analyze what happened today.

"Scholar, have you found a pattern? Including in Wangfujing Street, the mysterious man called us to say that there were ghosts around, and Xiao Zhao was almost killed, and the local boy was present in these abnormal situations. And I suspect that Lao Song's death has something to do with this local boy. ”

"You mean, these cases that this local boy has done? So how can a little kid have such courage and ability? Even if he is gifted and has the ability, what is the purpose of doing this? The scholar asked me as he smoked a cigarette.

"What if... What if this earth boy is here for Azusa? We assume that the car accident was planned and carried out by the earth boy, and then for some reason, the azusa wood was not stolen by the earth boy as planned, but was taken away by others, then the earth boy found himself struggling, not only did the plan not succeed, but it was exposed that the truck driver 'died twice', and in order to cover up this abnormal situation, the earth boy had to come out and kill the people who knew the inside story at the time. "I'm just speculating based on my imagination." Moreover, do you remember what Xiao Zhao said, when he saw Lao Song standing in front of him, he was startled. I think maybe it's not that Xiao Zhao is dazzled, but that the boy may have used some kind of magic, and even the truck driver's thing is also caused by a kind of magic. ”

The scholar said: "Okay, Mr. Xia, I found that you can be a detective, your analysis is very reasonable." If you want to talk about this magic, you really can't completely disbelieve it. There are corpses in Xiangxi, Li Miao has witches, and there are dancing gods in the Northeast, and his grandmother is really mysterious. What else did you find? ”

"At least one thing can be explained, the boy didn't know that Azusa was in our hands. Otherwise, Lao Song will not appear in front of Xiao Zhao tonight, but will appear at our bedside..."I said in a low voice.

"Fuck, Mr. Xia, don't scare the Sprinkle family, in the middle of the night, goosebumps are coming out." The scholar shrunk his neck and teased me.

We all felt that the analysis just now was very reasonable, but we didn't know what the origin of this earth boy was, and why he had to win the Azusa Wood Bowl, the scholar felt that there was a valuable treasure in the Azusa Wood Bowl, and then laughed again and again, "This time I made a fortune, this time I made a fortune!" ”

Just as I was saying this, my phone rang, and when I took out my phone, it turned out to be Lao Xu. On the phone, Lao Xu said in a trembling voice: "Hurry up to my dormitory, I know how to open the Zimu Pill!" ”

After hanging up the phone, the scholar and I immediately stopped a car and rushed straight to Zheng Da Xu's dormitory. ran all the way, and when I arrived at Lao Xu's dormitory, I locked the door, and the scholar couldn't wait to pull Lao Xu to urge him to say quickly. It can be seen that Lao Xu is also very excited. As an archaeologist, the excitement of being able to open an ancient secret box with my own hands is indeed difficult to calm.

According to Lao Xu, the bronze production process in the pre-Qin era has tended to be perfect, and most of the utensils are made of bronze, such as the bronze sword unearthed from the Xi'an Terracotta Warriors, which is still extremely sharp for more than 2,000 years. Compared with bronze, wood is much inferior in terms of value and preservation ability, so there are not many wood tools in the pre-Qin period. However, the development of wood has been going on since the enlightenment of human civilization. During the Warring States Period, there was a carpenter who was respected by later generations as the ancestor master, and that was Lu Ban. He pushed the craft of woodware to a climax. After the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, a large number of wooden mechanisms were used in many tombs to prevent theft, such as machine crossbows. It is precisely because wood is easy to obtain, low cost, easy to carve and transform, and more suitable for processing into corresponding parts. During the Han Dynasty, many ancient buildings were made of wood, and many huge and magnificent buildings were fixed with mortise and tenon joints from top to bottom without a single nail. These ancient buildings are condensed with the wisdom of the ancients and show the ingenuity of the ancients. Lao Xu searched the records of ancient books, and discussed with many friends in the circle, and finally found a way to open this box.

In fact, this ancient box is the same as those ancient buildings, there are many parts fixed with mortise and tenon in a certain way, the surface is carved with patterns, and the sap of lacquer is brushed, which is both beautiful and anti-corrosion, and at the same time cleverly covers up the fine seams between the parts, making people mistakenly think that the ancient box is one. And this seemingly one-piece ancient box will leave a mechanism as a secret door when it is made, and the box can only be opened by touching the secret door.

The scholar said, "Then what are you waiting for, open it now." Where is the secret door? ”

Lao Xu picked up the Zimu bowl, and then pointed to the middle of the pattern carved with the dragon and the green harrier at the bottom, and said: "I have carefully observed that the six sides of the Zimu bowl look exactly the same, but in fact, there are still differences, only the pattern of the dragon and the green harrier carved on this side is not the same as the other five sides." ”

The scholar and I looked at the place where Lao Xu pointed out, and looked at the other sides repeatedly, and finally found that there was a small circle carved between the dragon and the green harrier on this side, which looked like a bead pattern. The azusa is supposed to be colored with the sap of the lacquer tree, and the whole body is dark, only this small bead pattern is black and red, which is really difficult to find without looking closely. We can't help but secretly admire Lao Xu's observation ability.

"As far as I know, this is the secret door of the Azusa Wood Bowl, and once it is opened, the consequences are unpredictable. You guys think about it first. Lao Xu stared at me and the scholar and said.

"What is there to consider? Just open it. The scholar's eyes lit up.

At this point, no one can predict what will happen next, since so many bizarre things are happening around this Azusa Wood Bowl, then open it and see what the secret is. The three of us unanimously agreed to open.

Lao Xu put the azusa wood on the table again and turned on the lamp. With the secret door side facing outward, use a metal nail to slowly poke the pattern of the small bead. But nothing happened, Lao Xu put force on his hand, only to hear a snap, and the small bead sank inward. Then there was a crackling sound coming from the azusa tree.

The scholar pushed Lao Xu away and said loudly: "Get out of the way, be careful!" Lao Xu and I were both frightened by his sudden sound, and instinctively dodged both sides and squatted.

After a series of sounds, the azusa suddenly fell silent. After a long time, seeing that it did not move further, we stood up. Lao Xu pushed his glasses and said, "You're too nervous, what's the mechanism, you think this is a hidden weapon?" ”

The scholar smiled embarrassedly: "There is such a scene in the Sprinkle family watching movies." Isn't this all for safety, as the saying goes, be careful to sail a ship for ten thousand years. ”

We don't pay attention to the scholars. I looked at the Azusa wooden bowl, and there was nothing unusual except for the small beads that were recessed in. Lao Xu said something strange, walked over and wanted to pick up the wooden box, but he didn't expect to just touch the Zimu Tree, and the change started again.
