"Hey, why did you two bump into each other?" He asked his police officers to guard the door of the ward, and then Ren Yonghai came over and sat down next to me.
This guy also poked my waist and teased softly: "Hey, Lin Kun, can't you tell, when did you capture such a beautiful girl?"
"Do you know her?" I turned my head and glanced at him.
Ren Yonghai nodded and said: "I know her. She used to work in our city's cultural relics department, but there was a flower there that no one could catch up with. However, she seemed to have been transferred away a few years ago. As for her,
I don’t know the reason.”
I rolled my eyes at him angrily, "Grandma, whoever likes this girl can take her away, I'm not interested."
"Met him inside? How is the corpse poison issue handled?" Seeing that I ignored him, Ren Yonghai finally put his mind back to serious matters.
"There's a buddy inside who is unlucky and his corpse has been transformed. Now he has become a real corpse. The other one is pretty lucky. Like several of your men, he has to earn his own life."
I summarized it briefly and concisely.
"Corpse transformation?" Ren Yonghai was startled and asked worriedly, "Will there be any sequelae?"
I shook my head: "It's okay. I can't afford to cause any trouble. When the hospital issues a death notice and takes it to be burned, just pay a little attention to it. Make sure it goes into the cremator and nothing will happen to it."
It's okay, Ren Yonghai breathed a sigh of relief.
I stretched my body greatly. The corpse poison issue has been solved. Those in the ward also have Miss Caiyun's poison in their stomachs. I have nothing to do. It's time to go back and continue to have some leisure time.
It’s been a long time.
"Officer Ren, I'll leave Caiyun here to help you for a few days. I'm leaving first." I stood up and prepared to leave.
"No, Lin Kun, you can't leave yet."
Before Ren Yonghai spoke, Xu Yaxian, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stood up and stopped in front of me.
"Hey, little aunt, what song are you singing, why don't you let me go?" I held my hands in my arms and glanced sideways at Xu Yaxian.
This girl rarely blushed, thinking that she really didn't have any position to stop me from leaving.
However, this girl only hesitated for a moment, and her stubborn temper flared up. She ignored it, raised her head, looked at me firmly and said:
"Lin Kun, you can't leave now. If the source of the strange disease is not found, the same thing will happen to someone in the future, and the excavation of the ancient tomb will not be able to continue."
I spread my hands helplessly and said, "Sister-in-law, what do you want me to do?"
"I hope you and this little girl will go to the ancient tomb excavation site with me and Team Ren to find out the source behind the strange disease and solve it." Xu Yaxian looked into my eyes and said firmly.
"Captain Ren, you are the leader. If there is a problem in the excavation work, you also have the responsibility to do your part. Do you think Lin Kun should come with us?"
This little girl has started to form gangs.
"Yes, Lin Kun, after so many years of brotherhood, you can't bear to watch me go to the ancient tomb to die alone? What if I didn't have the two of you and got infected with corpse poison again?" Ren Yonghai helped as expected.
I scratched my head, I really felt like I had a headache.
These two guys are laymen who don't know how to write the word "death". An ancient tomb can leak corpse poison just by opening the tomb door. Who knows what else is hidden inside?
What could be the source of corpse poison? Everyone knows
, it is definitely not an old corpse that is so rotten that only a skeleton is left, harmless to humans and animals.
Down here, there's a chance that there's a big brother waiting for you who can run and jump, and is very interested in the fresh meat on your body.
And this big brother has been there for hundreds or thousands of years, who knows what level of existence it is now?
However, if Xu Yaxian and Ren Yonghai, two ignorant people, were asked to take a trip to the ancient tomb, would they go to die, die, or die?
After I analyzed this truth in detail to them, Xu Yaxian and Ren Yonghai both fell silent. They are both adults with normal intelligence. Of course they know the dangers involved.
"Officer Ren, listen to my advice and apply for transfer when you get back. You can go anywhere. Just don't touch that ancient tomb." I kindly advised.
"As for you, Xu Yaxian, you have to think about your grandma. She is so old. Can you bear to see her white-haired girl giving away a black-haired girl?"
Xu Yaxian blushed, pushed me hard, and said loudly: "It's because we know there is danger in the ancient tomb that we have to go down to find out. Otherwise, what should we do? If we tell this kind of thing, people will just take it seriously.
We have mental problems, but if we continue the excavation work like this, do you know how many people will die?"
"Captain Ren, what about you, please show your attitude." Xu Yaxian approached Ren Yonghai again.
"I agree with Miss Xu. I am a policeman, and the word "escape" is not in my dictionary." Ren Yonghai also puffed up his chest and said.
"You kid." I shook my head helplessly. Can I just watch my friend die?
What's more, even Caiyun came over and grabbed the corner of my clothes and refused to let go. Looking at the expression on her face, I naturally understood what she meant.
Faced with this situation, what can I say? I can only nod helplessly and agree to the plan of these guys.
The corpse poisoning incident interrupted the excavation work of the ancient tomb. When the four of us arrived at the excavation site, there was a strict warning tape around the place. There was no one inside, and only the police were guarding the outside with guns.
Under the leadership of Ren Yonghai, we naturally went straight to the tomb door that was opened on the day of the accident without any obstruction.
The tomb is located at the core of the excavation site. The tomb passage has been dug out. A loess rammed road extends underground at an angle of about 30 degrees. At the end of this rammed road is the entrance to the tomb.
"This is an ancient tomb from the Qin Dynasty with a history of more than 2,000 years. According to the data, it is inferred that the owner of the tomb may have been a noble of the Chu State at that time. Judging from the multiple burial pits that have been discovered, the status of the tomb owner is not low.
, most likely a prince..." Xu Yaxian introduced the origin of the ancient tomb in detail.
Along the rammed road, we soon entered a large pit. This was not a tomb, but a working surface dug out to facilitate excavation.
"That's the entrance to the tomb." Xu Yaxian turned on the flashlight and pointed forward.
The light of the flashlight shone on it, and a tomb door appeared in front of us.
The door of the tomb has been opened, and it is pitch black behind the door. When the light of the flashlight comes in, there is only a small beam of columns, and there is boundless darkness next to it.
Behind this dark entrance, this tomb that has been buried underground for more than two thousand years is about to reveal its mystery to the world.
And this is where the corpse poison comes from.
"Are you ready?" I looked around and finally asked.
"Yeah." Everyone nodded, no one hesitated.
Now I will stop talking nonsense,
Turn on the flashlight and walk into the tomb first, followed by others.
Entering the tomb, the internal structure of the tomb gradually pieced together a complete outline under the illumination of a flashlight.
We are now in a central corridor about two meters wide and more than ten meters long. The corridor is paved with long stone bricks and extends all the way to the main tomb chamber at the end. On both sides are the entrances to side chambers.
A huge bluestone blocks the entrance to the main tomb chamber, weighing a thousand kilograms.
"Something happened as soon as we entered. We haven't even had time to open the main tomb chamber, and even the cleaning of the side chambers has not been completed." Xu Yaxian promptly reported the progress of the excavation work.
I nodded, greeted Caiyun, and the two of us walked to the door of the main tomb.
Although it has been thousands of years, the main tomb chamber is still sealed in good condition. Caiyun and I carefully inspected every corner of the tomb door and found no trace of damage.
The corpse poison doesn't seem to be leaked from here.
"Has anyone else come in here since the accident?" I turned around and asked.
"No, after the accident, the cultural relics department immediately evacuated all personnel. Entry to the entire excavation site was prohibited. All the people guarding the outside were my people. I can guarantee that no one came in." Ren Yonghai walked to me.
, replied.
"The first two staff members who entered the tomb immediately fell into a coma. Then several police officers who went in to rescue people also fell into a coma when they came out of the hole. We have not sent anyone in since then," Xu Yaxian added.
"In other words, apart from the four of us, only those people who were infected with corpse poison have ever come in?" I asked again.
The two men nodded in confirmation.
I walked back a few steps, glanced at the entrances to the side rooms on both sides of the corridor, and frowned slightly.
Generally speaking, the main tomb chamber where the owner of the tomb is buried is the place where problems are most likely to occur. The bad custom of burying living people was prevalent in the Han and Qin Dynasties, but wives and concubines were mostly buried, and their bodies were usually placed in the main tomb chamber.
If the corpse poison did not come from the main tomb, where did it come from?
"Caiyun, let some Gu insects out and look for any remaining corpse poison here." I turned around and told Miss Caiyun.
Miss Caiyun nodded, raised her hand, and a few tiny crackling sounds suddenly sounded in the darkness.
"Gu worm?" Xu Yaxian was startled. Although she couldn't see the appearance of the worm in the darkness, she still subconsciously avoided Miss Caiyun and moved closer to me.
This is a woman who always misses the point. I shook my head speechlessly.
The poisonous insects flew back quickly, and Miss Caiyun pulled the corner of my clothes to indicate that the poisonous poisonous insects she released had no results.
This is a bit strange. Before entering the ancient tomb, I imagined several situations that might exist in the tomb and made corresponding mental preparations, but this situation was definitely not included.
This seems to be an ordinary tomb, not to mention a zongzi. There is no yin energy at all, and it looks completely calm.
Damn it, did the corpse poison fall from the sky out of thin air?
The four people put it together and couldn't figure out any clues, so they had to go one by one and carefully check the side rooms on both sides of the corridor.
There are almost no funerary objects in the side chambers. Judging from the size of this ancient tomb, there should be an ear chamber in the main tomb chamber, and most of the valuable funerary objects are buried there.
Chapter completed!
