"What is this?" The next day, on the road, Xiao Gu drove the car, Liu Pengcheng and Wu Ling sat in the second row, and Liu Pengcheng found that Wu Ling was still reading a very thick old book.

"Yesterday you told me about that place, I have been checking the information, the tombs in that area, the earliest should be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this place used to belong to the Chu State, and the funeral customs of the Chu State are different from those in the Central Plains. The Central Plains region is accustomed to digging holes on flat ground, and the more than 1,000 Chu tombs found in the Jiangling area are mainly on the slopes and hills around the Chu capital Yingcheng, and the higher the hills, the denser the tombs are. The Chu people not only like the highlands, but also especially like the north-south Gangqiu land. ”

"So you want to check mainly the north-south mountains?" Liu Pengcheng asked.

"Not necessarily, because after all, the state of Chu was more than 2,000 years ago, and it was difficult for the tombs at that time to have a good underground structure, if it was said that in order to hide a bunch of things, I am afraid it must be the tombs after the Song Dynasty, I didn't ask in detail yesterday, the place you said, did that person hide a lot of things at the beginning?"

"Not a few." Liu Pengcheng did not inform Wu Ling of the specific circumstances of the case.

"Then there is a high probability that it is a tomb of the Ming and Qing dynasties," Wu Lingdao, "According to what you said, this tomb should be in a relatively remote mountainous area, according to the customs of the Ming and Qing dynasties, this is definitely not the tomb of the prince according to the legend, it should be more of some local solid families, and there are no good things in the tomb in this case." ”

"How so?"

"Eh" Wu Ling thought for a while and replied truthfully, "There was almost no one in my old industry who was active in this generation, which means that the tomb value of this generation is very low. The tombs of Guchudi are highly concentrated near Yingcheng, which belongs to the state-protected cemetery, and the things produced are either of poor quality, or only have high research value, and the circulation value is very average. In addition to this area, the value of other areas is relatively low, so more people are still willing to go to the Central Plains and Shaanxi and Jin. ”

"Well, I understand," Liu Pengcheng looked at the sky, "The visibility is not bad today, in order to handle the case smoothly, I applied for a helicopter for you." ”

"Helicopter!" Wu Ling was taken aback, this thing only existed in his impression, he had never seen such a thing as a helicopter in reality!

"Well, the mountains and rivers are very time-consuming and laborious, and if we want to see some possible tombs in a short period of time, it is unrealistic to climb the mountain with two legs," Liu Pengcheng said, "You don't have to worry about other problems, at least for a week, this helicopter will serve you." ”

Wu Ling was extremely shocked.

Before he came, he had wanted to have a good talk with Liu Pengcheng, and finding a tomb was not such a simple matter. If you know that there is a tomb of a certain lord and a certain prince in a mountainous area, according to the specifications and system, it will be relatively easy to find, but now only give a general direction, and the place to find is a mountainous area, with lush trees and vicissitudes of life.

Of course, he didn't dare to say this kind of thing, after all, it was not good to mention this as soon as he came up. Maybe you're lucky enough to find it as soon as you come?

But he never thought that Liu Pengcheng not only knew the difficulty of this, but also didn't know where to transfer a helicopter, the operating cost of this thing is said to be very high, calculated in hours, but Liu Pengcheng actually arranged for him for a week.

"It's the cold winter season, although this is not the north, but the vegetation is relatively not so lush, will it be easier?" Liu Pengcheng then asked.

"It'll be a little bit," Wu Ling still didn't slow down.

"Okay."

Xiao Gu's car drove fast and steadily, and soon, Liu Pengcheng met Team Zhou, and in addition to meeting the comrades of the Forestry Department here.

When Liu Pengcheng handled the opium poppy planting case in the past, he borrowed the Yun 5 from the local Forestry Bureau, and this time he came here, the helicopter of the Forestry Department happened to be the Zhi 5, which is similar in terms of age.

Z-5 is the first generation of domestic helicopters put into operation in 1958, with several minor revisions behind it, and the performance is relatively stable, and it has been 15 years old to help this time. Don't look at the Z-5 is not big in the military aircraft, but it can still carry more than 10 people, but the Forestry Bureau generally does not have so many people to go to the sky, except for fire prevention, at most four people at other times.

didn't have too much politeness, on the afternoon of coming here, taking advantage of the good weather, Liu Pengcheng, Xiao Gu, and Wu Ling took a plane to the sky together.

Xiao Gu had been in the army with a straight 5, and he felt the roar of the straight 5 again, and he was a little excited, with him, Liu Pengcheng and Wu Ling both adapted to the situation of the plane as soon as possible.

The noise of this old straight 5 is still very loud, and the communication in the cabin must not be as smooth as in the car, Wu Ling is also very panicked, and probably commanded the driver to walk a few areas, but found nothing.

The flight only lasted 1 hour, mainly because Wu Ling's body was a little unbearable, and his legs were already shaking when he came down.

Liu Pengcheng was also very uncomfortable, but fortunately, he was stronger than Wu Ling, and there were no problems.

Wu Ling is a strong character, he discussed more helicopter knowledge with the pilot, and started planning again.

If the helicopter flies too high, the difficulty of Kanyu is too great, not only because of limited vision, but also because the angle gap between the station is too large.

If you fly too low, not to mention the safety factor, the key is that the strong wind will blow the dust below.

In the end, Wu Ling chose to mark the key high ground and let the helicopter send him over, and he observed and watched on each high ground for ten minutes, and then changed places, which could greatly save the time of climbing the mountain.

This plan needs to learn abseiling, because there is no stopping point in these places, fortunately, Xiao Gu is very good at it, Wu Ling is very thin, and Xiao Gu can still complete abseiling with Wu Ling on his back.

In this way, in the next few days, Wu Ling and Xiao Gu started this new plan, and Wu Ling kept reporting the coordinates of what he thought might be a tomb to Liu Pengcheng, and Liu Pengcheng immediately sent someone to start checking.

On the one hand, there are a lot of people on Team Zhou's side, on the other hand, Liu Pengcheng and Team Zhou hired some local medicine farmers at a reasonable price, and asked them to help explore some coordinates.

In this way, in just two days, two ordinary tombs that have never been discovered have been found, one should also be the tomb of an official, Wu Ling looked at the photos of the scene, and said that this tomb is the tomb of the late Ming Dynasty.

In the afternoon of the same day, people from the local Municipal Cultural Bureau came over and went into the tomb to investigate for a long time, only to confirm that this was indeed the tomb of the late Ming Dynasty!

Two days later, in the mountains.

"Wang!"

"Woohoo!"

Two police dogs roared around a hillside, very loudly.

When the two policemen and the three medicine farmers heard this, they all quickly approached.

In general, it is a valley with a small river below. There is definitely no water in this season, but judging by the situation in the riverbed, the amount of water should not be low during the rainy season.

On one side of the valley, there is an area where a slight landslide should have occurred, but because of the tree cover, the landslide is not a serious problem. The vegetation here is relatively lush, and you can't see anything from the outside.

The area where the two police dogs barked was also a piece of dirt, and the policeman who followed did not hesitate, picked up the shovel he carried with him and began to dig.

The excavation was more difficult than expected, the place should have been untouched for at least a year, and the roots of various plants and trees were intertwined, and it was difficult to shovel down with a shovel. Fortunately, the three medicine farmers were all experts, and the small pickaxes they carried were very useful, and with the cooperation of the three of them, the land was dug up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After digging about 20 centimeters, the end of the pickaxe touched some wooden structures, and then I found some bamboo.

"There's a burial chamber," a policeman smelled a strong stench, but he didn't change his face and asked the medicine farmer to give way, and he and another policeman moved the bamboo that supported the entrance to the tomb.

After moving away, the smell did not become as big as expected, and the wind gradually faded as soon as it blew, and the police took a flashlight to look inside and found nothing wrong.

"I'll go down and have a look." Said the police officer in charge.

"Don't do it, call the professionals." Another said.

"In this way, I can't go down, you pull me a little, I'll take the camera and stick in to take a picture, the camera has a flash, it should be able to shoot something."

"Okay."

The camera the police was holding was a normal Kodak camera, and he stretched his head and arms down, and there were four people pulling him behind him, but it was safe. Because there were many people pulling him, he was also a little bolder and probed down.

Needless to say, he knew how bad it smelled underneath, so he kept holding his breath. After finding the angle, he decisively pressed the shutter.

The old Kodak's flash was very stable, and the electrical energy in the capacitor was released in an instant, and at this moment the entire tomb was illuminated, and the policemen who leaned over also saw a lot of things at once.

After taking two or three photos, the four people who pulled him quickly pulled him up.

The one who came up held his breath for a long time, gasped for breath, and calmed down: "There is a shout. Shouting people. ”

In less than 20 minutes, Xiao Gu descended here with Wu Ling's rope.

Wu Ling is really a skilled and courageous person, he took out his bag, lit a windproof match, and threw it directly into the tomb, and then looked at it, and the match burned for more than twenty seconds before it was extinguished.

"No problem, I'll go down and take a look." Wu Ling has ready-made high-altitude rappelling equipment on his body, but he doesn't need to go down this pit at all, he took off all the equipment on his body, then took out gloves from his bag and put them on, and then took out a few turns, and went down to the bottom of the pit, then took out a flashlight and shone it forward.

"What's the situation?" Kotani, who was pulling the rope, asked.

"I can see three corpses, it looks like they have been dead for a few years, but they are almost rotten, only bones remain," Wu Ling was not afraid of this scene at all.

"Don't go inside, I'll call someone." "Don't spoil the scene. ”

"Okay, pull me up." Wu Ling's tone was very calm, in this kind of place, it was much more comfortable than on a helicopter.

When Liu Pengcheng received a call from Wu Ling, he knew that the case had finally reached the core moment.

He followed Zhou's team up the mountain, along with the Cultural Affairs Bureau and on-site investigators.

As the excavation began, more and more bones were brought out, and more and more traces and hairs were collected at the scene, and there was almost certainly a suspect in the sample.

In this cemetery, a total of 12 corpses were exhumed, which can basically be consistent with the previous disappearance cases, these missing people are not only Tan Song's fellow villagers, but also from the next township and county, the situation is relatively similar, and the previous disappearance cases can be matched!

After that, Liu Pengcheng did not continue to participate in the follow-up work, and took Wu Ling and Xiaogu early and went directly to Yuhang City.

This case, handled from scratch to now, Liu Pengcheng's mood has not been better.

In order to make some money for himself, Tan Song killed more than a dozen people one after another, completing the primitive accumulation of capital, which has been until now. If it weren't for the air-raid shelter problem discovered by Liu Pengcheng, maybe these histories would really become history.
