The worship of this so-called, dormant god of fate sleeping in a sarcophagus may have begun thousands of years ago in antiquity.

This cave, at that time, was just a small natural cave.

In this small cave lies a solid sarcophagus that cannot be truly natural or artificially carved. In that barbaric era, the ancient ancestors may have discovered the mysteries it possesses, and may have begun to sacrifice it for some "gifts".

Lu Ming suddenly sounded, when he searched the manor under the name of the Destiny Organization, there were still some antiquities in the list of seized items. At that time, I didn't pay much attention to it, and only generally believed that it was collected by the fate organization, and the so-called gods and holy relics and other things related to worship and belief, but now combined with the conclusions analyzed by rock experts, I realized that there may be some other things in it.

Lu Ming recounted his guesses. He Wei immediately dialed the numbers of the archaeological experts who stayed in the evidence analysis room and contacted them.

"Hello Professor Wang, may I ask, have the sources of those antiquities been analyzed?"

"At present, it can only be confirmed that these antiquities are from at least 3,000 years ago and are typical of bronze objects. But there is no way to tell which civilization or culture they belong to. They don't have much of a cultural marker on them. If we can know where they were unearthed from, we may be able to understand them further in combination with the region. ”

Lu Ming took the phone and asked, "Professor Wang, right here, in the area or surrounding areas of Shanbei City, in that era, was there an ancient human culture?" ”

Professor Wang paused and said with a wry smile: "If you want to talk about ancient human culture, there is indeed one, but I don't know much about it, and I only vaguely remember that it was named 'Dali Culture'." This culture is relatively ordinary and relatively niche, and at its peak, it has developed to the stage of mixed use of copper and stone, and can smelt bronze on its own, but it has not developed to the point where it can be used on a large scale. I don't know anything else. ”

Lu Ming groaned: "Is it more niche? So, Professor Wang, can you recommend to me an expert who knows a lot about this culture? ”

Professor Wang said: "To be honest, this culture has little research value. After all, the rest of the cultures of the same period had even entered the stage of civilization, or officially entered the Bronze Age. Well, but I happen to know an expert in Dazato culture, but ...... It may not be convenient for him to come out. ”

"Inconvenient to come out? What do you mean? ”

Professor Wang's voice was a little low: "His name is Wen Cheng, and two years ago, he was imprisoned for the crime of reselling cultural relics. It should be two or three years away before it comes out. ”

Knowing the name, it is easy to find people. As for going to prison or something, Lu Ming didn't care.

With the authority of the second team of operations, it is not difficult to find a prisoner to consult something.

"Okay, thank you."

Hanging up the phone, Lu Ming looked at Zhang Dingshan.

Zhang Dingshan groaned.

"There are no clear clues yet, so it's good to consult this Wen Cheng. You can do it. ”

"Okay."

Lu Ming agreed.

In the history of thousands of years, the existence of mountains, caves, etc., does not change much. Since traces of bronze excavation have been found in this cave, and there is an ancient culture in this place, and this culture has also developed to the end of the Neolithic Age, which can manufacture and use bronze tools on a small scale, then maybe there is some connection between this Dali culture and the sarcophagus of this god of fate.

It is very likely that the cave where this sarcophagus is located was dug by the Dali culture in its early days.

Zhang Dingshan continued to make follow-up arrangements: "That's it. I went to check the luck of the members of the Destiny Organization to see if they had gotten better after they started participating in the sacrifices. He Wei, you and Qingliang contacted to organize the use of pigs, cattle and sheep as sacrifices to sacrifice the sarcophagus. Lu Ming, you go to Wen Cheng. ”

"Yes."

These things were finalized, and the three of them separated.

Knowing Wen Cheng's name, Lu Ming came to the local security bureau, found Zhou Chang, checked it briefly, and immediately found out.

This Wen Chengcheng is a native of Shanbei City, and he is also serving his sentence in Shanbei City Prison at the moment. At the beginning, perhaps it was precisely because this Dali culture was his own local ancient culture that he became interested in it, and became one of the few researchers of this unpopular culture.

Knowing Wen Cheng's relevant information, Lu Ming immediately came to the prison. After handing in the documents, after waiting in the reception room for a while, a middle-aged and elderly man about fifty or sixty years old, with some horizontal flesh on his face, looking a little vicious and a little sleek, was brought in.

When Lu Ming saw it, he felt that this person was not the kind of honest person, and it was a little difficult to deal with. When I think about it again, I am relieved.

If this Wen Cheng was an honest man, how could he have the courage to resell cultural relics and end up in prison.

Wen Cheng was very respectful and humble to the prison security guards who brought him over. When the security officer left, he closed the door, and only Lu Ming and him were left in the reception room, but the momentum was different.

He sat opposite Lu Ming with a grin, and glanced at Lu Ming: "Who are you?" What are you looking for me? ”

Lu Ming said with a smile: "Hello Professor Wen, I heard that you have a lot of research on the local Dali culture in Shanbei City, so I came to you, mainly because I want to consult you about some things." Oh yes, a little gift for you. ”

Lu Ming placed a large bag on the table. It's full of fruits, instant noodles, bread, cigarettes, and the like.

Wen Cheng's mouth was slurking, he dragged the bag and rummaged through it, and laughed twice: "What do you want to consult me?" ”

"A lot. Everything you know about Dazato culture. ”

"That'...... That's not enough. ”

Wen Cheng casually pulled the big bag aside: "Young man, which unit are you from?" It's not easy to come to this prison to find me. ”

Lu Ming frowned slightly.

Wen Cheng's style made him a little uncomfortable. I wanted to scold him a few words, but I felt that I was here to beg for someone after all, which was not appropriate.

Lu Ming raised his head and looked directly into Wen Cheng's eyes calmly: "Which unit I belong to, you don't care." Just tell me if you're willing to cooperate. You have to cooperate, there are your benefits. If you don't cooperate, I'll leave immediately. ”

Wen Cheng laughed: "Dali culture is a niche culture. It's me, the local, who is interested in it. I dare say none of the other archaeologists can compare to me. If you want to go, just go. ”

Lu Ming frowned, stood up and came to the door, opened the door, and said, "It's over, take him away." ”

Two security officers came in, one on the left and one on the right, holding Wen Cheng away. Halfway through, Wen Cheng turned around again.

"Young man, I'll wait for you to come back to me."

Lu Ming returned to the reception room and dialed Lu Qingliang's phone.

"Qingliang, here in Shanbei City, there is an ancient culture, called Dali culture. Consult with an archaeologist and help me find someone who has enough knowledge of the culture. ”

"No problem, wait, ten minutes at most."

Before it was ten minutes, Lu Qingliang's call came back.

"I've inquired about you, this Dali culture is relatively unpopular, and there are not many experts who study it. However, there happens to be an expert who has studied it very deeply, called Wen Cheng. ”

"Wen Cheng?"

Lu Ming smiled bitterly: "Is there anything else?" This Wen Cheng ......"

Lu Ming recounted the meeting just now.

"I can see that he must have something difficult to do. If he does not meet his conditions, he will not cooperate. I'm too lazy to deal with such people. ”

Lu Qingliang was a little embarrassed: "It's really hard to find other people, other experts, at most, when studying other cultures, take this Dali culture by the way to see if there is any communication between the two different cultures." has specialized in Dali culture, except for this Wen Cheng, there is really nothing else. ”

As he spoke, Lu Qingliang's tone changed again: "This Wen Cheng is not easy to deal with, right?" Or, let me go? I'm sure you'll get it done. ”

There was a hint of eagerness in his tone.

Lu Ming shook his head: "This little thing, you don't need to go out." During this time, there are many places that require your cooperation in logistics, so you should stay at the headquarters honestly. ”

Lu Qingliang was a little disappointed: "Then, okay." If you can't figure it out, come back to me. ”

Hanging up the phone, Lu Ming thought for a moment, and called the security officer again: "Bring Wen Cheng here." ”

A moment later, Wen Cheng was brought over again.

This time, Wen Cheng's eyes were slightly surprised, as well as eager.

After the security officer left, Wen Cheng sighed twice: "In such a short period of time, I found out that except for me, other people have not studied Dali culture enough?" I thought you'd have to come back to me in two or three days. ”

He looked Lu Ming up and down, and the eagerness in his eyes was like a beggar seeing roast chicken and a poor ghost seeing gold, which made Lu Ming feel uncomfortable.

Lu Ming snorted coldly: "Tell your conditions." ”

Wen Cheng is obviously fifty or sixty years old, but at this moment he is full of temperament. He smiled again, which made Lu Ming feel a little angry in his heart, and then said, "If it were someone else, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to meet my conditions." But if you can find out so quickly that you can't do without me, maybe you can really satisfy me.

My conditions are simple. Now, I have two years and six months left in my sentence. I can help you, you let me get out of prison in a month, how about it?

I've inquired about the specific ways to handle it, I've helped you, you count me as a meritorious service, operate it, reduce my sentence by two years and five months, and the matter will be settled. ”

Lu Ming's brows furrowed again.

Action 2 does have that authority. Even, if necessary, it is not impossible to take Wen Cheng away on the spot now.

But...... With great authority comes great responsibility. If the power in your hands is used at will, then, what is the difference between Action 2 and Action 16?

Lu Ming shook his head directly: "This is impossible." Wen Cheng, I can promise you that if you cooperate with me, then after the matter is over, I can use the name of my unit to send a letter of commendation to the prison where you are located, and suggest - note, it is a suggestion, suggesting that they start the meritorious service award procedure for you. However, I will not interfere in whether it can be done in the end, whether the sentence can be commuted, and how long the sentence can be reduced. In addition to that, I will give you a bonus. The amount is still uncertain, but it should be above 200,000 human coins. ”

200,000 human coins is quite a lot, enough to buy a mid-range car.

Wen Cheng looked at Lu Ming playfully: "Young man, this is not good. Either promise me, or you go to someone else, and you can do it yourself. ”

Lu Ming's tone suddenly became stern: "It is the obligation of every citizen to cooperate with the Public Security Bureau. You refuse to cooperate, believe it or not, I will notify the prison authorities and lock up your little black room? ”

Wen Cheng's body suddenly sat up straight, his face was full of horror, and his voice was full of eagerness: "Young man, don't, don't, I will cooperate with you, cooperate with you, I will cooperate with you in whatever you want." ”

Well?

Wen Cheng's rapid transformation made Lu Ming a little incomprehensible. But he still had a cold face: "Sort out everything you know about Dali culture and give it to me." ”

"What Dali culture? I don't understand. ”

Wen Cheng said pitifully, his face full of innocence.

Lu Ming's heart swelled with anger: "Playing a scoundrel, right? I'll lock you up in the dark room right away! ”

Wen Cheng immediately began to beg for mercy: "Officer, I don't know what culture is not a crime, right?" Why are you in my little dark room? Shall I go back and start learning immediately? Please, let me go, I'm just an honest man, I really don't know! Help me! It's a bully! ”

The two security guards guarding the door immediately rushed in and looked at Wen Cheng with a wary face. Wen Cheng pointed at Lu Ming and shouted: "This police officer said that because I have no education, he will lock me up in a small black house!" Oh my! Is it illegal to be uneducated? ”

Lu Ming slapped the table and stood up angrily.

This old rascal!

"Take away, take away!"

The two security guards dragged Wen Cheng away. Lu Ming was still angry.

The first visit to Wen Cheng was in vain. The next day, Lu Ming came to Shanbei City Prison again, and in this reception room, he saw Wen Cheng again.

This time, Lu Ming didn't talk nonsense with him, and directly slapped a file bag on the table.

Wen Cheng was a little puzzled, but he still opened the file bag, took out the documents inside, and looked at it. In a moment, his face turned pale.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Lu Ming's mouth.

"Wen Cheng, you're amazing, before I checked you, I didn't know that in addition to the crime of reselling cultural relics, you did so many things. Stealing property, huh? ”

Wen Cheng looked at the Chinese piece in his hand and saw a back figure walking out of a mobile phone store. The figure didn't make a face, but he could clearly recognize it, it was himself.

"Tax evasion, right?"

Further down the file, there is a series of numbers. The final amount is 96,500 human coins. The name of the company is the one run by Wen Cheng before he was imprisoned.

"The prosecution didn't know these things before, right? You say, if I hand it in, your sentence will ...... How long can I add more? A year? Two years? ”

Wen Cheng clapped his hand in Chinese and stared at Lu Ming viciously. Lu Ming said with a smile: "I can't let you reduce your sentence, but it's okay to let you increase your sentence." Whether you want to increase the sentence or not, you choose. ”
