Chapter 360: Suspicion in the Ancient Tomb

It is raining in Qinshan Mountain, and the trees are about to drop.

Looking from a distance, the fine rain created bursts of rain and mist, and the entire valley was shrouded in clouds and mist, just like a fairyland on earth.

However, in a certain open space under the valley, it was muddy.

This mountainous plain with a radius of two to three kilometers is in the shape of a huge isosceles triangle. And the ancient tomb of the Ming Dynasty in front of us is exactly located at the center point of this isosceles triangle.

At this moment, Zhao Yu got off the minibus with six or seven people. They were all wearing rain capes, and they were walking on the muddy ground towards the entrance of the ancient tomb.

The air was cold and damp, coupled with such a newly excavated tomb in front of him, it made people feel heavy and depressed, making them uncomfortable.

Those who accompanied Zhao Yu were criminal investigation experts from various branches of Qinshan.

It is reported that since the discovery of the crime scene, all the archaeologists working here have been evacuated, basically retaining the original scene.

When Zhao Yu entered the tomb along the dark and gloomy tomb passage, there were already evidence search personnel in white clothes collecting evidence in the tomb.

Regarding this visit to the ancient tomb to investigate the case, Zhao Yu's arrival is quite interesting.

Because the place where the ancient tomb case occurred is under the jurisdiction of Yunyang County, Qinshan City, and should have been handled by the Yunyang County Police Department.

However, although Yunyang County has a large territory, because it is located deep in the mountains, its organizational system is not complete at all. The Yunyang police station is simply not capable of handling this case. Moreover, this case appeared to be extremely strange, and it must not be easy to solve it.

Therefore, in view of the actual situation, the criminal investigation department of the Qinshan City Bureau conducted such a joint investigation for the first time.

The so-called joint investigation means that some experienced criminal investigation experts are dispatched from various branches of Qinshan to help the Yunyang Police Station to solve this case together!

What's interesting is that the city bureau didn't appoint any team leaders or leaders to them after the personnel were transferred, but just let everyone show their abilities.

Ever since, this joint investigation inevitably has a strong sense of competition!

Everyone wanted to solve the case before others, so all the sub-bureau units named by the city bureau sent out their best agents, and behind the scenes gave the agent the best investigation resources.

To put it bluntly, it wasn't the few people in front of me who were solving the case, but the various branches were involved in this unprecedented competition.

Due to the excellent performance of the Rongyang Sub-bureau recently, the Rongyang Serious Crime Unit was naturally the first to be appointed by the city bureau.

As the hottest detective at the moment, Zhao Yu was also entrusted with a heavy responsibility by Chief Luan to participate in the investigation on behalf of the Rongyang branch!

To put it nicely is to participate in the survey, but to put it too far, it is called participating in the competition! Participate in a crime-solving competition organized by the City Council!

Although there is no specific reward after solving the case, none of the sub-bureaus is stupid, and they all know that this is a good opportunity to show their faces. Whoever can solve the case first will be favored by the city bureau, and whoever will Stand out among your peers and become the best.

It is precisely because of this level of competition that the 7 elite agents from various sub-bureaus who entered the tomb at the scene ignored each other, and they all had their own ghosts there, delusional to win the championship in one fell swoop!

At this time, under the leadership of a Yunyang police officer, the detectives came to the coffin in the center of the tomb.

"Experts," the police officer introduced the situation to everyone, "This ancient tomb was discovered half a month ago and reported to the Qinshan City Cultural Relics Bureau. With the approval of the superior, the Cultural Relics Bureau excavated the tomb and opened it up today. Tomb door, entered the tomb.

"According to the inscription at the entrance of the tomb, cultural relics experts have proved that the owner of this ancient tomb is Qiu Chengqiu Zixu, the prefect of Lu Ya in the late Ming Dynasty.

"But..." At this point, the police officer's face changed slightly,

Said, "Everyone has also seen that this tomb has been patronized by tomb robbers, and there are almost no valuable cultural relics left! However, there is no sign of damage to the coffin, so the archaeologists decided to open it in advance. Check the coffin to see if there is anything valuable inside...

"However, when the staff opened the coffin..." the police officer pointed his hand to the inside of the coffin, "but such a scene appeared. It's really... tsk tsk... puzzling..."

The lid of the coffin was open. In fact, as early as the police officer introduced it, everyone had already seen the situation inside.

Unexpectedly, what was lying in the coffin was not an ancient corpse with only a skeleton left, nor any dazzling funerary objects, but a modern person wearing a blue long-sleeved shirt and black suit pants! ! !

However, although he is a modern person, this person should have been dead for a long time. Not only is the corpse highly decomposed and his face is hideous, but he can clearly see that there is a fatal gash on the top of his head!

Seeing this scene, the detectives were all incredulous. There is a modern man lying in the coffin of an ancient man in such a good condition. What kind of situation will this be?

"Interesting..." At this time, a 50-year-old detective on Zhao Yu's right said, "I have been in criminal investigation for most of my life, and I have never seen such a strange thing! The coffin of the Ming Dynasty lay a modern dead person, which is interesting!"

"Hmm..." Police Officer Yunyang pointed to the corpse and introduced, "Before you arrived, the cultural relics experts had already checked briefly, and said that there should be ancient remains under this corpse, but it should have been discovered by someone. messed up..."

"The deceased is male!" said a detective wearing glasses on Zhao Yu's left, while writing something in his notebook, "Aged between 55 and 60 years old, 1.70 meters tall, wearing blue shirt……"

"Let me see," another very old detective said afterwards, "it's not difficult to explain. The uneven distribution of loot by tomb robbers is nothing new, right? After killing people , I saw that the inside of the coffin is quite suitable, so I just put people in it! Tomb robbers always do things as they please, regardless of the consequences..."

"This police officer," at this time, a bearded detective in his 40s asked, "How many robbery holes have been found in this tomb?"

"There is only one!" Beside the police detectives, there was a cultural relic worker familiar with the tomb, who answered the question on behalf of the Yunyang police officer, "And this robbery cave is very new, it should have been dug out not long ago. Police officers, on behalf of the Qinshan Cultural Relics Bureau, please, those tomb robbers must have stolen a lot of cultural relics, please, catch them and recover the cultural relics!

"Although the owner of the tomb, Qiu Cheng, was only the prefect of one party, because of the special position of Qinshan in ancient times, it was an important place connecting the north and the south. There must be very precious cultural relics in it!"

Um……

The detectives nodded again and again. In the eyes of everyone, although a modern dead person appeared in the coffin, it looked very strange. However, as long as those tomb robbers can be caught, the truth of the case will surely be revealed!

However, looking at the messy secret room and the dead people lying in coffins, Zhao Yu faintly smelled something different.
