Chapter 143 The Secret Deep in the Tomb

"I, I, I, that's me!" Cheng Zongwen confessed.

"Then let me ask you, what kind of person is your son-in-law?" Zhang Yang decided to verify it.

"He used to be a playboy and a rich second-generation, but like me, he turned over a new leaf." Cheng Zongwen answered quickly.

The angle of this answer is indeed like that of Chen Yanguang's father-in-law.

Zhang Yang nodded: "Baoyou, I do know this brother who is suspected of being a tomb robber."

"But I don't know whether he dug your ancestral tomb."

"I really didn't dig it. I came to Bozhou to track other tomb robbers... woo woo woo..."

Cheng Zongwen wanted to explain, but something seemed to be stuffed in his mouth and he couldn't speak.

But his last words successfully attracted Zhang Yang's attention.

He still vividly remembered the scene of Mr. Cheng stringing his finger bones together and wearing them around his neck.

This non-mainstream rich second-generation seemed to have a grudge against a group of tomb robbers.

Because the father and son of the Cheng family were under investigation, the wedding could not be held for a while, so he started his road to revenge in advance.

"Baoyou, was that a sock or something you stuffed into his mouth?"

"It was a carrot."

"Oh, pull it out first."

"What he said makes sense. Let's listen to his explanation."

Zhang Yang thought about it. This Cheng guy was nice to him. If he really didn't rob the tomb, he shouldn't wrongly accuse him.

But if he called the police directly, he would probably be sent to prison for three times as he had a criminal record and had dug a hole to rob the tomb.

Let's ask clearly first.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, teacher." Baoyou followed suit.

Soon, Cheng Zongwen recovered his language function. He explained, "The phone in my pocket has a ticket purchase record. I came to Bozhou yesterday."

"Baoyou, take a look, is that right?"

"If it is, it doesn't mean anything!"

Baoyou muttered, but still gave an answer quickly. Cheng Zongwen did arrive there yesterday.

In one day, he locked onto an ancient tomb. It was so terrifying.

"You came yesterday and entered the robbed hole today. You still have to explain, right?" Zhang Yang asked.

"I didn't dig it, but Xiang and his men did. The Han tomb had long been emptied. I just came to verify one thing."

Cheng Zongwen explained:

He had just arrived, but the tomb was empty.

There was no time to commit the crime, and no stolen goods, so he couldn't be a tomb robber.

In addition, the traces of the tomb robbery holes were obviously some years old, and the tomb bricks dug out were all covered with moss.

"Baoyou, your ancestral tomb was dug before, did you know?"

Zhang Yang believed Cheng Zongwen's words 50%.

As long as he took another look at the traces of the tomb robbery holes, he would know whether what he said was true or false.

"Fuck, is the ancestral tomb really gone? I don't know about this!"

"It's been gone for at least six or seven years, and the tomb robbery hole was well covered." Cheng Zongwen added.

"What should we do now? Call the police?"

Baoyou was a little panicked and hoped that Zhang Yang would give him an idea.

But Cheng Zongwen's words instantly dispelled his idea of ​​calling the police.

"After calling the police, your ancestral tomb will be excavated by the archaeological team."

"I saw some bones down there. If you want your ancestors' bones to be exhibited, let them dig them up."

Baoyou was silent.

Zhang Yang was also scratching his head.

Things seemed to be stuck. Baoyou himself was not happy to call the police now.

Finally, it was the person involved who made his demands.

Baoyou asked Cheng Zongwen: "Then can you take me to collect the bones of my ancestors?"

"No problem, let me make amends."

Then, the two of them naturally talked about the matter of digging the tunnel.

The entrance to the tunnel is too narrow, so you can't be impatient;

The movement is too large, and the tunnel is at risk of collapse;

Don't be greedy when you enter the tomb, just take a little out at a time...

The more Zhang Yang listened, the more he felt something was wrong.

He quickly asked: "Can you live broadcast?"

...

Live broadcast, of course, but not the kind of live broadcast room.

Cheng Zongwen called a video conference.

At that time, a mobile phone will open a hotspot on the ground, and the mobile phone that is live broadcasting will also have a signal underground.

After Zhang Yang entered the meeting, he thought about it and pulled Chen Yanguang in.

As a good buddy, Zhang Yang would not allow him to miss the opportunity to see his future father-in-law "grave robbing".

As the heir of the ancestral tomb, Baoyou also pulled someone.

"Big brother No. 2 on the list?"

When Zhang Yang saw "Captain Chu", he was stunned.

Is this Baoyou still his fan? Or was his home robbed?

In response to Zhang Yang's questions, Xiao Chu explained that his folk archaeological team has become famous in the group.

This Baoyou is one of the members of their archaeological team developed in Nanwan.

"Bozhou has Cao Cao's tomb, how can there be no permanent member?" Captain Chu explained confidently.

"Is that so? Then I have to pull another Baoyou. He is my distant cousin and is very knowledgeable about tombs."

Zhang Yang thought about it and felt that someone must come to calm the situation.

When the other people heard that Master Zhang had a cousin, they were all surprised and delighted.

Knowledge such as appraising treasures and visiting tombs is usually passed down in the family.

"Cousin" and "research on tombs" are two key words that show that he must be an expert!

Soon, a man with a husky head joined the video conference.

"Welcome my cousin, you can just call him Lao Liu." Zhang Yang said on the microphone in the meeting.

Lao Liu? Lao Liu!

Outside the video conference, Zhang Yang quietly introduced the current situation to Captain Liu.

Tell him not to worry and wait until he finishes watching.

The latter responded with a "fist-holding" expression.

…

At around seven o'clock in the evening, four viewers were in place, and two people who were going to the tomb were also in place.

"Master Zhang, look at the terrain of his ancestral tomb."

In front of the camera, although Cheng Zongwen was a little dirty, he was very energetic and explained Feng Shui to Zhang Yang on the spot.

"The green dragon on the left, the white tiger on the right, and the two mountains embraced each other..."

"This place is halfway up the mountain. I came to see it during the day. It is on the sunny side and is very consistent with the characteristics of a Han Dynasty tomb."

Except for Zhang Yang, everyone else could only say "hmmmm" when he said these words.

Zhang Yang had studied it before, and he asked Cheng Lao Er: "Have you entered the tomb? What shape is it?"

"A double-chamber tomb in the shape of the Chinese character Lv."

"It should be from the late Eastern Han Dynasty, or even the Western Jin Dynasty." Zhang Yang analyzed.

"How was such a small tomb discovered?"

"Then I don't know. Exploring tombs has always been the specialty of the headmen." Cheng Zongwen said honestly: "I only know that the robbers' hole went directly to the main tomb, to the lower right."

"The burial objects of this kind of Lv-shaped tomb are basically placed there. Xiang and his men hit it very accurately..."

The conversation between Zhang Yang and Cheng Zongwen, coupled with the dark night sky and the deep robber's hole, made the remaining people feel weird.

Chen Yanguang was the first to be unable to help and started to chat awkwardly:

"Master Zhang, aren't you also a headmen?"

"Who is this Xiang headmen?"

This question successfully made the audience feel awkward. In the end, Cheng Zongwen pretended to cough to help his brother-in-law out.

"It's getting late, let's get started!"

Baoyou's mobile phone was placed outside the robber's hole, and his big yellow dog was on guard outside.

The two of them entered the robber's hole one after the other.

The content at the beginning was a bit boring. Apart from the soil, there was the sound of the two of them crawling.

But the long wait was worth it. After more than ten minutes, the end of the robbery hole suddenly became clear.

The main tomb chamber has arrived.

Zhang Yang followed the camera to see the whole picture of the main tomb chamber and took a breath of cold air.

At the end of the Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, although the funeral culture was not very good, there were still tomb figurines, travel ceremonial guards, male and female servants (figurines), kitchen utensils and other burial objects.

Now, there are only some broken pottery pieces left in the tomb chamber, and the coffin with the lid opened and empty inside.

"Beast!" Baoyou howled a little uncomfortably.

Then he planned to start looking for the skeletons that Cheng Zongwen mentioned in the tomb chamber.

"Stop! Stop!"

Captain Liu couldn't stand this scene.

He had received systematic cultural relics protection education and knew that it was better to let the archaeological team excavate such ancient tombs that had been stolen, otherwise it would cause secondary damage.

"Is there any problem, cousin?" Chen Yanguang asked.

The two people in the tomb also stopped.

Except Zhang Yang, everyone thought of one thing - there was a mechanism in the tomb.

Otherwise, Master Zhang's cousin wouldn't be so anxious.

"Cousin, you are too sensitive." Zhang Yang came out and took over the conversation: "Don't look blindly, Master Cheng, where are the bones you saw before?"

"My dear, don't worry, this may not be your ancestral tomb, and the situation of tombs within tombs is also very common."

Zhang Yang's words made everyone's attention return to the original purpose of their tomb.

"It's here."

Cheng Zongwen took two steps and picked up a leg bone from the ground.

"Show me a light."

Zhang Yang looked carefully.

"Name: Tibia (human)"

"..."

"Production time: 1983"

"..."

Seeing such information, he couldn't help shivering.

This turned out to be the bones of someone born in the 1980s.

You don't have to think about it to know that it should be the tomb robber.

Unequal distribution of spoils, or black eating black? Anyway, it was killed directly in the tomb.

Murder case!

Cheng Zongwen was able to enter the palace for the second time, so he still has something, and he can even encounter a murder case.

Zhang Yang thought about it and felt that he had to say it.

"Well, I have a question, let me share it with you all."

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this skeleton?" Xiao Chu asked.

"Yes, but I want to ask Captain Liu, if a tomb robber is the kind who does all kinds of evil, when he was robbing the tomb, he might have been trapped, or he might have been silenced by his accomplices, or he might even have a heart attack and died in the tomb."

"Do you want to investigate this kind of case?"

Chen Yanguang/Xiao Chu/A friend: "Captain Liu? Old Liu?"

Captain Liu: "What do you mean, there is a murder? I want to call the police... No, I want to report to my superiors!"

Cheng Zongwen: "Sure enough, someone died here!"

In the video conference, after a brief chaos, it was Xiao Chu who finally stabilized the situation.

As for why it was him, it was very simple, because he asked Captain Liu:

"Liu Jiade (Captain Liu's full name)? Don't rush to report this case."

"Chu... who are you?" Captain Liu was a little confused.

"He is the son of an official, and his father may be your leader." Zhang Yang introduced briefly.

"No, none of my leaders have the surname Chu."

"Then is there any surname Shen?" Xiao Chu asked back.

Now, it was Captain Liu's turn to be upset.

Because he suddenly remembered that Zhang Yang received a certain banner because of a leader named Shen.

The world line converged, converging on Captain Liu.

"Well, brother, you are the family member of the leader, you should know the importance of this murder case, right?"

"If it was decades ago, it would be fine if we just closed our eyes, but now, with such advanced technology, it is very likely to solve the case."

"By then, maybe other cases will be involved. After all, tomb robbers are involved in everything."

"I don't completely agree with your point of view, Captain Liu. Tomb robbers are also divided into different types." Cheng Zongwen interrupted: "But I firmly support solving the case!"
