"Don't look at the walls, look underground, and see if there's any clues down there."

Lin Yi put away his notebook, held the candle flame, and took the lead in starting to grope in the area under his feet.

When the others heard him say this, they all picked up their spirits again, and began to look everywhere on the floor of the apse for clues.

"If you hit the stone bricks and make a 'empty' sound, it means that the bottom must be empty, everyone pay attention."

Team Qiao lay on the ground and knocked on the floor with the handle of the sapper shovel, and did not forget to remind everyone.

Now, after a series of previous tests of escaping death, Team Qiao and Qin Renjie have fully adapted to the environment of this underground tomb and have devoted themselves to the work of finding an exit.

Especially Team Qiao, an old criminal detective, finding all kinds of clues should be his strength.

It's just that the situation here is too complicated, and the set of theories and methods summed up in the theory and practice he has mastered are not applicable here at all, and now his experience comes in handy when looking for vacancies and exits in the underground.

It's just that after a carpet search, they didn't find that the floor tile was empty underneath.

Wang Qiang is now tired and sweating profusely, sitting on the ground, not wanting to move.

"You say that after they put these coffins in, did they fill in the holes that went out?"

"If that's the case, let's talk about it now, even if we open all the floor tiles here, we won't necessarily be able to find an exit!"

Qian Sheng is also a little out of idea now.

"Don't complain, come and see!"

Lin Yi was standing between the two coffins at the moment, waving at them.

The group picked up their spirits again and gathered towards his location.

"Did you find anything?"

"You see, the stone bricks under the bed of this coffin are not a little different from the stone bricks in other places?"

Lin Yi pointed to the stone bricks under the coffin bed and asked them.

Team Qiao didn't say a word, just lay on the ground, his face against the floor, looked in with a flashlight, and reached in to grope for a while.

After observing for a moment, he stood up.

"It's really different, the stone bricks around the stone bricks here are so smooth, there is a height difference of about one centimeter, and the brick joints are more humid than those from other places, you see!"

As he spoke, he showed a little dirt that had been plucked out of the crack in the brick beneath the coffin.

Lin Yi took it, spread it in the palm of his hand, and examined it carefully.

It is said that this underground palace is hidden in a cave deep in the mountains, and the humidity is already high, and the inside of the underground palace is even more humid all year round.

The soil between the brick joints was moist enough, but the dirt under the coffin bed was paste.

The water content is a bit too high.

"Could the difference between these slabs be caused by the downward pressure of the coffin bed and coffin? And it's more humid here than outside? ”

Bai Lu asked rhetorically.

"It's not impossible."

Lin Yi put the thin mud in his hand under his nose and sniffed it.

"What? Did you learn from Mr. Chang? ”

"Not really, I feel like there's a smell of water in the soil, to be exact, it's the moisture of living water, not the moist air that condenses inside the mountain."

"Does it make a difference?"

"There are some differences, if the water vapor in the cave is condensed, from the top down, down the edge of the coffin, and above is the wooden coffin, there will be a mildew smell in the soil, and if the water is seeping out of the ground, there will be no such smell.

In addition, it is likely that the sinking of this stone brick is caused by the fact that when the hole is backfilled, the soil and stone in the ground are dug up and covered with soft soil.

Because under Chen Yuanyuan's coffin next to it, there is no such drop on the stone bricks. ”

After listening to his analysis, everyone's faces showed a look of hope.

"So, there's a good chance there's another exit under the coffin?"

"It's very likely!"

Lin Yi asserted.

But here comes the problem again.

The space under the coffin bed is limited, and the distance from the ground is less than 20 centimeters.

The four corners of the coffin bed are carved from a whole stone, each piece weighs hundreds of pounds, and there are hundreds of millions of tons of coffins pressed on it.

Such a small space is not enough for them to show their skills.

Team Qiao volunteered to try to get into the bottom of the coffin to pry the floor tiles, but the distance from the ground was too short to turn over at all, so they had to give up.

"What should I do with Advisor Lin?"

Lin Yi thought for a moment and said, "There is a way. ”

"Tell me about it."

Lin Yi gently tapped the outer wall of the coffin room with his hand.

"There is a gap between the coffin chamber and the coffin inside, just like Chen Yuanyuan's coffin next to it, the gap can accommodate at least a distance of more than one person.

The coffin is so big, and the gap must be bigger, so my idea is to open the coffin cover, chisel through the bottom plate of the coffin, and turn over the stone slab below in the coffin to find a way out. ”

Team Joe listened to his description and thought for a while.

This matter can be big or small, as the only person with official status at the scene, if this underground palace is made public in the future, it will be a major archaeological discovery, and in principle, they can't touch it casually, especially the coffin.

But right now, I've searched all the surroundings, and this one looks the most hopeful.

Once the decision is made, the pressure on him has to bear alone.

"Then do it! Human life matters! ”

"Okay, when the sky falls, let's stand up together! Brothers, take a hand! ”

Lin Yi touched the seal of the hair from the neckline, and silently recited a sentence in his heart: Heavenly officials are blessed, there are no taboos!

Then he jumped on the coffin bed and climbed to the top of the coffin with his hands and feet.

Wang Qiang threw up a coil of paracord at the bottom, Lin Yi caught it, and after tying all the four corners of the coffin cover, he used a barrier knife to break all the mortise and tenon joints around the wooden coffin top.

Everything was ready, and he snapped his fingers at the people below.

I silently recited several times in my heart "Raise the coffin to make a fortune", and under the joint efforts of everyone, one end of the coffin cover was lifted, and the other end was erected on the coffin board, and the balance point was found and the coffin cover was hung up.

Lin Yi took the flashlight handed over by Bai Lu and took a picture in the coffin.

Inside is a large coffin of golden silk nanmu, which emits a unique golden streamer of wood under the illumination of the flashlight beam.

Going down to the inside along the corner of the coffin, there is a gap of nearly one meter between the coffin and the coffin, which is enough for them to stay.

Lin Yi walked around the coffin, and kept stepping down hard, trying to find a loose or rotten coffin floor to do it, and when he approached the top of the coffin, there was a touch of wood on his hand holding the coffin.
