Chapter 19 On-site Investigation (II)
Zhao Xuan and Lin Ling took a lot of photos for the sake of safety, and after a while, Song Shaozhen came with news, affirming their thoughts.
The matter of the corpse is over for the time being, and more importantly, it is necessary to confirm why the two were affected by "Sun Yinjiu", and whether there are other "Sun Yinjiu" that have not been discovered.
The only thing that is certain is that Song Shaofeng's guess is right, and the other floors of the entire Futu Pagoda also have the same design, hiding "Sun Yin Jiu".
Lin Ling talked to Song Shaofeng on the phone, and Zhao Xuan went to call everyone back.
"We don't have anything to check on our side." Zhao Xuan pointed to the corpse and said to Yu Donghua: "If you also finish the inspection, you don't need to keep the scene." ”
Yu Donghua was also simply, and directly asked the two of them to help together, together with a few criminal policemen just now, took down the body bag and stretcher from Yu Donghua's car, and loaded the body.
Together with the ice cream cone parasols, as soon as they cleaned up the two police cars, they asked a few criminal police officers to drive the two cars back first.
But Li Xiaoqing insisted on staying. According to her, you have to take a luxury car.
Zhao Xuan pursed his lips and didn't say anything.
"What kind of case is this?" Yu Donghua was a little curious and asked Zhao Xuan: "Of course, if it involves secrecy, I didn't ask." ”
"An antiquities smuggling case." Zhao Xuan sacrificed the same set of statements that fooled Yu Shaohe before, and said to Yu Donghua: "The level of cultural relics is very high. ”
The entire Central Plains region has a long history and countless cultural relics, and ordinary people hate such things as illegal excavation and smuggling of cultural relics.
Yu Donghua was the same, gritting his teeth and saying: "We must cooperate well and severely punish these scum." ”
A few people returned to the rocky beach, Zhao Xuan briefly described the shape of the Futu Tower, and everyone went around looking for it, and Li Xiaoqing also actively helped.
The neighborhood has been searched by the criminal police, but Zhao Xuan is not at ease, after all, when he saw the stone carving before, it was also an inconspicuous big stone.
After rummaging for about an hour, it was not early when Zhao Xuan and the two arrived, plus the previous incident, it was almost six o'clock, and the sky had already begun to darken.
Zhao Xuan was about to call everyone to call it a day, when he heard Li Xiaoqing exclaim: "Come on." ”
Several people rushed to Li Xiaoqing's side. Li Xiaoqing stood next to a tree, covering his mouth, looking at a bush next to him.
When Zhao Xuan approached, he saw a nest of rats on the ground, no, the rats were dry!
Seven or eight creatures large and small, looking like rats, were densely covered with scales and scattered in front of the bushes.
"This ...... What is it...... What the hell? Li Xiaoqing saw that Zhao Xuan and the others had come over, and stammered and asked.
I can't even scare a forensic doctor clearly, I can only say that the shape of these rats is really weird to a certain extent.
Zhao Xuan saw that he couldn't hide it, so he explained it to them.
The bureau has a set of corresponding statements for each anomaly and in the face of different groups of people, and public officials like Yu Donghua and Li Xiaoqing can reveal relatively more content.
Of course, it would be best if it could not be revealed.
Although "Sun Yin Jiu" is only an anomaly that has just been discovered and named, it also has a whole set of theories.
"What I'm going to tell you next, be sure to keep it a secret." Zhao Xuan put on a serious look.
While recalling in his mind, he explained to the two: "This is a toxin that can cause problems in the secretion system of mammals, sweat glands that sweat constantly, and eventually die of dehydration." ”
Zhao Xuan broke a branch from the tree next to him, squatted down, poked the mouse on the ground, and continued: "These scale-like things are actually dry and cracked skin, just like cracked land. ”
"Toxins? We're not going to be poisoned too, are we? Li Xiaoqing exclaimed again, and jumped back two steps agilely. Even Yu Donghua next to him moved back quietly.
"Don't worry, it's okay, this toxin won't last that long." Zhao Xuan stood up, threw away the branches in his hands, patted the dust on his hands, and said, "It's been dead for several days." It should be with the two brothers Zhao Deshun and Zhao Deyi. The place where they were poisoned should be around here, so look for it. ”
"Where did this thing come from?" Li Xiaoqing heard Zhao Xuan say that it was okay, relieved his heart, and stepped forward again.
After glancing at the mouse on the ground a few times, he still seemed to feel uncomfortable, turned his head again, and asked Zhao Xuan, "I've never heard of it." It is impossible for a medical examiner to have no impression of a toxin at all. ”
"Just made up ......" Zhao Xuan almost blurted out, but fortunately he held back in time and choked himself with a cough.
"Ahem, I just found out." Zhao preached a little quickly, and wanted to cover his previous words: "A few days ago, I found a cultural relic with a bottle in it, which contained this kind of thing. We have not found any records of similar toxins in modern times. ”
"So this case is investigated very urgently, for fear that someone will be poisoned, no, it's still not too late." Zhao Xuan pointed to the mouse on the ground, looked left and right and said, "Look for it, it should be around, a stone carving." ”
Several people looked around carefully, and it didn't take long for Lin Ling to find it in a bush not far away.
The stone carvings are well hidden, and an earthy canvas is changed to blend in with the surrounding land. If it weren't for the pile of dried rats found nearby, a few people really wouldn't have found it.
Unless it is a large number of people who are assembled to conduct a hand-drawn investigation.
When the canvas was pulled apart, it was a round stone with a diameter of nearly one meter and a height of more than half a meter.
There was also an iron hammer on the stone, and next to it were white chisel marks, which were clearly new.
The whole stone is covered with yellow mud, and it looks like the two brothers glued it later, and the handprints are still clearly visible.
"Come on, this is it."
According to Song Shaofeng's speculation about the goods in the small truck driven by the two brothers, it was either one big or two small, which met the size of the stone, Zhao Xuan was relieved, and this was it.
It's just that only two pieces have been found now, and the remaining five or seven pieces have no clues.
"That's it? Is this a national treasure? I can't see it. Also, how did this toxin escape? Li Xiaoqing had obviously recovered from the fright just now, and looked the stone up and down.
"There was a porcelain vase inside, and they tried to chisel open the stone, and the porcelain vase inside was shattered, and the toxins floated out." Zhao Xuan bent down and pointed to a crack in the lower half of the stone: "Here." ”
"Then why don't they just pry it open from the seam?" Li Xiaoqing incarnated 100,000 why.
"There's a trap in there, it's stuck." These don't need to be kept secret, Zhao Xuan said it obviously much easier: "It takes a few people to cooperate." The two tomb robbers know something, they only know how to use violence, isn't this retribution? ”
"And how do you know there's toxins in there?"
"We didn't know there was a toxin in it, but we knew it couldn't be opened violently, and the toxin was discovered later."
"Stop!" Seeing that Li Xiaoqing was still going to ask, Zhao Xuan hurriedly interrupted Li Xiaoqing's words and pointed to the stone: "Let's move back first." ”
Song Shaozhen was worried that the other stone carvings were also abnormal, so he had already prepared extra-large sealed bags for several people according to the size of the previous stone carvings, and as for the rope or something, the last time I bought it was still in the car.
Zhao Xuan asked Lin Ling to go back to the car to get something, and he found some dry firewood and built a fire, preparing to burn the mice.
Song Shaozhen's research has determined that "Sun Yinjiu" can be burned directly, and he is not afraid of anything going wrong.
borrowed a lighter from Yu Donghua, and fiddled with it for a long time without lighting the fire, but he made a mess.
Yu Donghua watched Haha Zhile on the side, took the lighter in Zhao Xuan's hand, and lit the fire in three or two clicks.
turned his head and laughed at Zhao Xuan: "Where do you young people know this, you think you can do anything after reading some books?" ”
"I think when I was young, baked corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes, no matter what lighter was needed, a match would do it." Helped Zhao Xuan throw the dried rats into the fire, caged the firewood, and the flames were a little bigger.
It's just that it doesn't taste very good. Li Xiaoqing saw that the two of them were talking about roasting sweet potatoes and burning mice, so he had already hid far away.
After a while, Lin Ling also came back, and when Yu Donghua saw it, he threw a few dry branches into the fire and got up to help Lin Ling.
If you want to talk about the old comrades who have done the work, they are not ordinary.
The rope was straightened and laid on the ground, the sealed bag was opened and covered on it, the two little girls pulled both sides of the bag, and called Zhao Xuan, and pushed it from the other side of the stone, and the stone rolled and accurately turned into the bag.
Seal the mouth, pull the rope back and circle it left and right a few times, tie it tightly, leave a fist-sized buckle, rummage through the bushes next to it for a while, and find a two-meter-long, arm-thick, crooked branch.
Then he inserted it into the button, lifted it back and forth with Zhao Xuan, tried the center of gravity, adjusted it, and a pick was done.
"Awesome!" Li Xiaoqing read it carefully from beginning to end and applauded.
The stone sculpture looks very large, but because it is hollow, although the two of them carry it heavy, they will rest all the way, and it will not be possible to carry it back to the car. A few people put stones in the last row of the van with their hands.
Zhao Xuan took a few bottles of water from the car and distributed them to everyone. Yu Donghua drank water and exclaimed: "It's still convenient for a van." ”
Zhao Xuan: "......"
A few people turned around again, extinguished the bonfire, looked around to see if there was anything missing, and then got in the car and returned to the county seat. It's hard to see clearly.
After some labor, several people became familiar with each other, chatting all the way and going back. In the middle, Yu Donghua took advantage of the meeting for a while, but there was nothing out of it.
Back in the county seat, it was completely dark. Piggybacking on Yu Donghua and sending him home, Zhao Xuan originally asked him to eat together, but Yu Donghua refused with a smile. The remaining three went to the county guest house.
Song Shaofeng helped the two of them book a room in the morning, which made Zhao Xuan's fantasy of "searching the entire county at night, there is no empty room, and sharing a room with beautiful women" came to naught. Li Xiaoqing also lives here.
Although the name is a guest house, the room decoration and facilities are very refreshing, which is better than many hotels.
Zhao Xuan took a shower, changed his clothes, and got out of the lobby, ready to go to dinner with the two beauties, but he didn't expect Lin Ling to be faster than him and was already sitting there.
"Didn't you take a shower?" Zhao Xuan leaned over and found that Lin Ling was still wearing a training uniform, the same as in the morning.
"Washed." Lin Ling glanced at Zhao Xuan.
"Then why are you still wearing your morning clothes?" Zhao Xuan was puzzled.
"Changed?" Lin Ling was a little strange, grabbed his collar and sniffed it. He looked up and replied to Zhao Xuan: "It's a new one." ”
"Well, sister, you won, I should have thought that you must have at least a dozen identical training uniforms." Zhao Xuan touched his nose, sat next to him, and complained secretly.
