The ace all-rounder is on fire

Chapter 169 The Fake Ancient Tomb Is Real Antique
The criminal police team has strict rules and regulations. Even if you are so curious that you are scratching your heart, you will never say a word if you should not ask.

The environment at the scene was simple, and Lin Shen randomly selected some funerary objects for identification, and the dignified color between his eyebrows and eyes gradually deepened.

From the expression on Lin Shen's face, Gao Hongliang felt that this case was not as simple as it seemed.

"Every piece of funerary objects randomly checked here turned out to be genuine."

Lin Shen's voice was heavy, "Captain Gao, these cultural relics span a long time, and their historical value is very precious. To prevent nights and dreams, these cultural relics need to be moved to a safe place as soon as possible."

Gao Hongliang nodded with a serious expression. He has already arranged these links in advance, and the vehicles for transferring cultural relics have been notified in advance, and they are now on their way here.

"These cultural relics are registered and photographed, temporarily transported back to the Criminal Police Force, and then properly disposed of, what do you think?"

"Well, Xu Chu arrives in Yundu tonight, let's listen to his opinion then."

"My people have already gone to the airport, and Lao Xu will come to meet us as soon as he gets off the plane."

There are many unearthed cultural relics that need to be identified, and because of the confidentiality of the case, this is the only way to go.

The driving vehicle was in front, and the vehicles escorting the unearthed cultural relics arrived at the scene, and the transportation work started quickly.

Lin Shen stood on the hill outside the ancient tomb and looked around. Everything in the surrounding mountains and forests was soaked in the cool moonlight.

The temperature in the mountains at night is very low, especially the ancient tomb is located on a lower terrain. The forest is filled with thick fog, which blocks the moonlight and wraps everything around in endless darkness.Groups of chilly mist flowed beside him, and it was even more chilly to stay for a long time.

Lin Shen looked at the misty pond shrouded in mist under the moonlight, quietly lost in thought, as if he never felt the coldness around him.

Gao Hongliang lit a cigarette, "What are you thinking about?"

Lin Shen's brows were furrowed all the time, "The case is a bit weird, and there are still a few key issues that have not been clarified."

"what is the problem?"

"The identity of the tomb owner. The robbers said they burned the tomb owner's bones and coffin, but I think they are lying."

"Can the identity of the owner of the tomb be detected from the burial objects?"

"At the moment...it's difficult. These cultural relics do not belong to the same historical period, and the age spans a long time. I took a cursory look, but I haven't found any relevant evidence that can confirm the identity of the owner of the tomb."

"What do you seem to suspect?"

Gao Hongliang was puffing out a cigarette, his subordinates were all busy, and the surrounding environment was also very safe, some of them could speak out.

"I suspect that this tomb... is fake."

Lin Shen's words were astonishing.

Gao Hongliang was so startled that the cigarette almost dropped from his mouth, "Do you suspect that this ancient tomb is fake?"

"I think this is a fake tomb imitated by later generations using the method of the ancients to build tombs. The purpose of building this tomb is not to bury the ancestors, but to hide treasures, so that these treasures seem to have a Nominal provenance. And the origin of these treasures...I’m afraid it won’t stand up to investigation.”

Lin Shen thought for a long time, collected and sorted out all the doubts before and after, and after repeated scrutiny, he came to an astonishing conclusion.

Gao Hongliang is still puzzled: "The size of this tomb is not small, and the structure of the tomb is a masonry structure. In this mountainous environment, the construction of such an ancient tomb cannot be completed by a few people in a short period of time. This team of tomb robbers is not small."

"You're right. I've been thinking about this issue too. After your people clean up the cultural relics and load them into the truck, I want to go to the tomb to see if I can find any new clues."

More than a hundred precious cultural relics were transported with great care and lasted until midnight before the cultural relics in the tomb were cleaned up and all were photographed and loaded into the car.

Lin Shen and Gao Hongliang returned to the tomb with several criminal policemen. She carefully checked the specifications and construction methods of the tomb.

The masonry structure of the tomb wall is very strong. Boiled glutinous rice is poured into the compound soil, and the juice of sheep peach vine is mixed evenly to make the gaps filled with glutinous rice mortar. Its strength is comparable to modern concrete.

The airtightness, moisture resistance and firmness of this casting tomb are very good, and the engineering is quite troublesome.

What is certain is that the construction of this tomb paid full attention to airtightness and firmness, but ignored or even considered whether it matched the identity of the owner of the tomb. There were no inscriptions and murals, and the coffin was even missing.Gao Hongliang's men searched the surrounding forests, but found no trace of the coffin being burned.

"Did they throw the coffin in the pond?"

Gao Hongliang expressed his thoughts.

Lin Shen stared at the floor of the tomb for a while. Compared with the bare tomb wall, there were some ancient traces on the floor tiles.

Different from the color of the gaps in the wall tiles, the filling in the gaps of the floor tiles is dark red, which is the performance after the glutinous rice mortar is mixed with cinnabar.

In the eyes of the ancients, cinnabar has the effect of warding off evil spirits and suppressing ghosts, and there are some strange patterns left on these floor tiles. When observed from a distance, the whole is pieced together into a traditional Taoist rune.

Gao Hongliang also saw the problem, and the two looked at each other in unison.

Unspoken to each other.

Gao Hongliang immediately assigned tasks, and his subordinates brought a generator and a woodpecker electric hammer for professional concrete excavation.

There was a lot of people and strength, and after a burst of noise, the floor tiles of the tomb were torn apart.

"Dig!"

The first gravel pulling team withdrew, and the second digging team followed.

Gao Hongliang accompanied Lin Shen to temporarily withdraw from the ancient tomb.

A few minutes later, the subordinates came to report—"Report to the captain, an unknown corpse was found underground in the tomb!"

Gao Hongliang's eyes lit up, "Okay! Continue to dig deeper!"

An hour later, a 1-meter-long, [-]-meter-wide, and [-]-meter-deep earth pit was dug out of the underground of the tomb. An amazing discovery was made in the pit!

There are 4 skeletons buried in the ground of the tomb!
"There is indeed a secret in it!"

Lin Shen and Gao Hongliang hurried back to the tomb. Under the light, there were 4 skeletons lying neatly in the pit. Under each skull was a tomb brick engraved with a spell.

The clothes and muscle tissue of the deceased had rotted into mud, and only the yellow rubber soles on the bones' feet remained.

"The soles are so familiar!" Gao Hongliang sighed leisurely. "In the 80s and [-]s, from workers to farmers, yellow rubber shoes were the laborers' favorite."

"These dead are probably the laborers who built the tomb. After the tomb was built, they were killed and buried here."

Gao Hongliang nodded secretly, and immediately ordered someone to take the bones back and hand them over to the forensic doctor for further identification.

It was already 3 o'clock in the morning when the team evacuated.

After running around for a day and experiencing a life-and-death struggle, Lin Shen felt really tired. When she dozed off in the car, she received a call from Lao Xu. Lin Shen briefly introduced the case and clues. Yundu Criminal Police Brigade met.
