Chapter 1266 You Have to Investigate Even if You Die

"By the way, Grandpa, do you know the Earl of Carnarvon?"

Yang Cheng changed the subject, Liu Muqian's current thinking ability was obviously not up to scratch, after thinking for a long time, he muttered, "Earl Carnarvon? Let me think~"

"Oh, I remembered, it should be the eighth generation now? Time flies so fast~"

Yang Cheng's eyes lit up, "Grandpa, do you really know each other?"

"Yes, the Earl of Carnarvon family is an old friend of the Royal Bank of Scotland. Their ancestors once served as conservative cabinet ministers. The seventh Earl of Carnarvon used to go to London every week to raise funds to maintain the manor's expenses. The gathering among the nobles is very nice, I have seen it several times~”

After a pause, he asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly ask about the Earl's family?"

Yang Cheng roughly talked about Tutankhamun's golden mask. Of course, some dangerous information was concealed by him, and he asked instead, "Have you never heard of the golden mask?"

Liu Muqian pondered for a long time, then slowly shook his head and said, "The golden mask? Didn't a man named Howard discover it? Oh, by the way, the fifth Earl of Carnarvon was also discovered together."

Yang Cheng affirmed, "That's right, Howard Carter, an archaeologist, received funding from the Earl of Carnarvon. Later, their mysterious deaths caused a sensation all over the world."

Liu Muqian's memory became clearer, "Yes, I vaguely remember reading similar news in newspapers when I was a child, but it's too long ago, I can't remember."

A look of disappointment flashed across Yang Cheng's face. Although he didn't have much hope at first, after all, he only talked about it with his grandfather on a whim.

After chatting for a while, grandpa went back to his room to rest first. Yang Cheng had nothing to do, so he went to grandpa's study to find a book to pass the time, but most of grandpa's books were history books. This book is called "Gods, Mausoleums and Scholars-Archaeological History".

Take it off the bookshelf, and shake off the floating dust on the surface. This is the corner of the bookshelf, and the servant must have neglected it when cleaning it.

Yang Cheng had heard of this classic work on archaeology, but had never read it. He happened to have time, so he decided to read it.

First, I turned to the catalog, scanned it from front to back, and found that the "Pharaoh's Curse" event was also introduced in the book, and I immediately became interested.

But what is said in the book is completely contrary to his understanding, and it is completely different from what he understands.

According to the explanation in the book, the Earl of England, Carnarvon, was injured in a car accident and had difficulty breathing all his life.

In 1903, after Earl Carnarvon came to Egypt, he invested a lot of money in the excavation of antiquities; due to lack of professional knowledge, he hired Howard Carter to preside over the actual work. On this point, it was enough for Yang Cheng to find the author and shoot him for 20 minutes. In our understanding, it was Howard Carter who first started the research on Tutankhamun's tomb, and then Earl Carnarvon's sponsorship.

Enduring impatience and continuing to read, the book said that on November 5, 1922, Howard found the entrance to Tutankhamun’s tomb. After receiving the report, Earl Carnarvon rushed to Egypt from England. At that time, Carnarvon was already ill. Fragmented, until the death of the Earl of Carnarvon on April 3, the excavation work was suspended, and Carter continued to work.

Unexpectedly, after the death of Earl Carnarvon, the "curse of the pharaoh" appeared in the newspapers, and even the inscription on the sarcophagus was tampered with.

In short, it is to turn prayers to God into threats to people. In order to strengthen the atmosphere of terror, some people who have nothing to do with the excavation of the tomb are also said to be cursed.

The book also said that a man surnamed Carter died in the United States, and was said by the press to be Howard Carter's brother; a 78-year-old British lord committed suicide by jumping off a building shortly after the death of his son, and the newspaper said that the son of the lord was Carter. Secretary, so both father and son were punished by Pharaoh.

Yet that Carter in America had nothing to do with Howard Carter; neither the Lords nor their sons nor anyone in their family had anything to do with Tutankhamun's tomb. Qiqi's novels are first published on the Internet

Seeing this, Yang Cheng didn't want to watch it at all.

Thinking angrily, "It's nonsense, is this broken book written to fight for sales? Can this kind of children's reading material be regarded as an archaeological work?"

He slammed the book on the desk with a bang, but what he couldn't deny was that although he didn't want to believe it, what was said in the book still caused him psychological fluctuations, and he didn't know what he was thinking while frowning~

After a long time, he called the United States and asked Susu to find a private detective to investigate the author of the book—Krim. Yang Cheng knew that this name was probably a pseudonym, but a writer who had published books should be easy to investigate. Why? Looking for a private detective?

Because Yang Cheng didn't pay much attention to this matter, he was just upset for a while, and wanted to prove that the author is a liar with a "magic pen", and the research project on Tutankhamun's mask has made progress, which is enough to explain the problem Well, if the legends are all lies, there will be no legends, after all, there are no waves without wind.

It was just a temporary idea, and Susu dared not neglect, but let a private detective investigate a person who has been dead for more than 30 years, can they really find anything?

Poor Kerim, even when he was killed, he never thought that the book he wrote would be dragged out and flogged his corpse decades later. The worst thing was that he would be asked what color his underpants were when he entered the coffin. , after finding the private detective, Susu prayed to the sky for 3 seconds. If you want to seek revenge, please find someone.

Having been with Yang Cheng for a long time, Susu's personality has also changed. Fortunately, Yang Cheng is not an arms dealer who believes in dollars more than God, otherwise Susu would have to be trained to become a new generation of black widows~

Putting the book back on the shelf intact, she moved her neck and went to the room. Suddenly, the phone rang. Yang Cheng took it out and found that it was Andrew's message, asking him to watch the news. The fastest updated Qiqi novel

news? What happened?

Clicking on the headline, the top news is that the teenager who was beaten by the ghost in the morning died in the hospital an hour ago.

Yang Cheng's face darkened, he went back to his room and closed the door, called Andrew, and asked sharply when he got through, "Why did you kill someone?"

Andrew said aggrievedly, "Boss, I really don't blame me. Who knew that kid was a sick child. The hospital's examination results showed that the kid had suffered from severe liver disease before. His spleen ruptured due to a car accident two months ago. This time It was also bad luck, Paul Kedland happened to hit the internal organs, and he went to a community hospital, and it was too late to transfer to a big hospital when he found out."

Yang Cheng didn't know what to say, it really couldn't be blamed on Andrew, who knew that just finding a random boy was a sick child~

He cursed secretly, "Did no one notice you when you contacted him?"
