The ace all-rounder is on fire

Chapter 520 Death News
Lin Shen remembered that there was a description in his grandfather's diary that there were three huge clay-bodied pottery urns in each of No. 1 and No. 2 tombs, with rough craftsmanship.

However, when the archaeological team opened the door of the tomb, the pottery urn had already been shattered, and there was no way to know what was stored inside.

The tattered pottery urn is now abandoned in the corner of the tomb. Its appearance is about the size of a lotus vat, and there is some residual fluid in the bottom of the urn.

Because of the humidity in the cave, the damaged tomb lost its protection against moisture, and the water dripping from the top of the tomb almost filled the pottery urn.

Lin Shen shone a flashlight on one of the relatively well-preserved pottery urns. The water in the urn was pitch black, and the bottom could not be seen. When you got close, you could still smell a faint fishy smell from the water.

Lin Shen put on his white gloves, took out the straw and test tube from his backpack, sucked up a few milliliters of effusion with the straw and squeezed it into the test tube, intending to take it back for testing.

When she used the straw to fetch water for the second time, something seemed to swish across the water, causing a circle of ripples on the originally calm water.

Lin Shen frowned, and she seemed to see a long tail that swung past the water and disappeared.

There seems to be something hidden in this jar of smelly water.

For safety's sake, she took a step back and scanned the back and sides vigilantly, but found nothing unusual.

Lin Shen sealed the sampled test tubes, sterilized the test tubes and straws with an alcohol spray bottle, put them in a sealed plastic bag and put them in a backpack.

Lin Shen took out a needle box from the side of the pocket, all of which were large sewing needles ten centimeters long, and grabbed a handful of steel needles in his hand.

It stands to reason that this stinky stagnant water will lay eggs in it except for some mosquitoes, but there will be no flies and mosquitoes in the cave.

Lin Shen was sure that he was not mistaken, that thing was not a fish, and it was impossible for a fish to have such a slender tail.

Lin Shen retreated vigilantly to the entrance of the tomb, picked up a fist-sized stone, held it in his hand, and stared at the half-tank of black water in the broken pottery urn.

- let's go!
With a bang, the stone was thrown into the urn.

In less than a second after the stone fell into the water, the water in the urn seemed to explode, and six or seven things with black hair jumped out of the water.

The body of that thing is about the size of a disposable paper cup, with a long tail dragging from its buttocks.

It's a water rat!

This thing is common in the wild. It likes to dive and catch fish in fish ponds. It can hold its breath in the water for a long time. It is a kind of ferocious rat.

Just as Lin Shen frowned, those water mice that jumped out of the pottery urn stared at their round red eyes, opened their mouths and screamed and rushed towards them.

Not a little courage...

Lin Shen, who had been prepared for a long time, flicked his wrist, and shot with two steel needles, nailing the two water mice rushing to the front to the ground.

The few behind were frightened, braked all the way, turned around and ran wildly, and a water mouse that climbed up the wall of the tomb in a panic got its tail stabbed by the steel needle that Lin Shen flew out, and hung on the wall struggling to get off.

The remaining ones left their companions and ran off to nowhere.

A few meters away, Lin Shen's eyes fell on the half tank of black water again, feeling puzzled.

It is no wonder that water rats live in a vat of smelly water in ancient tombs.

Lin Shen decided not to destroy the pottery urn for the time being.

She took a few steps forward and came to the water mouse nailed to the wall of the tomb by steel needles.

The little thing was very fierce, showing four yellow and sharp front teeth, struggling and wriggling to demonstrate to Lin Shen.

The scariest thing was the mouse's eyes, which were blood red with two black pupils the size of needle noses, staring at Lin Shen viciously.

"Little boy, I'll kill you again!" Lin Shen snorted.

Take out the glass jar from the backpack, put the mouse in it, pull out the steel needle, fasten the lid, open the air hole, and prepare to take this vicious mouse back for testing.

Lin Shen left tomb room No. 1 and continued on to the next target.

Tomb No. 2 is located deeper underground. To enter Tomb No. 2, you need to cross a raging underground river.

Over the past few decades, mountain floods, underground river diversions, and topography in caves have all undergone great changes.

Because of the damage caused by the excavation, the No. 2 tomb was flooded, and the accumulated water was almost flush with the ceiling of the tomb passage. Lin Shen had to give up the idea of ​​continuing the investigation.

At 3:47 in the afternoon, Lin Shen left the ancient tomb, returned the keys and walkie-talkie, and drove back to Yundu.

Lin Shen didn't go home, but went directly to Donglan Hospital.She handed over the sampled black water and the red-eyed water rat to the hospital's biological testing center.

***
On the way home from the hospital, Lin Shen received a call from Lao Xu.

"Hey, boss."

"Lin Shen, there is some sad news..."

Old Xu's hoarse voice came from the Bluetooth headset, as if he had just cried.

"This morning, during an emergency mission, Da Jiang from our bureau...was shot and died."

Lin Shen's hand holding the steering wheel was tightened at once, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, the car body swayed, and almost scratched against the car next to him.

The driver of the BMW next to him rolled down the window and cursed at Lin Shen.

Lin Shen suddenly came to her senses, at the intersection ahead, she changed lanes, slowed down and turned right.This is a fork in the road with less traffic, and Lin Shen drove all the way to the Lanqing River.

Lin Shen swallowed hard, and opened his mouth a few times before recovering his voice...

"Boss, you...you..."

"What did you say?"

The news came too suddenly. At this moment, her brain seemed to shut down suddenly, and she fell into an endless loop. She was stunned and aphasic, her trembling voice was stuck in her throat, and she couldn't speak at all.

She felt that her soul seemed to be separated from her body, and her soul was suffering from heart-piercing pain. She didn't want to believe this fact, but her body was like a statue, not knowing what to do.

"It happened suddenly." Old Xu's voice choked up, "No one could have imagined that two years ago, Qinglang, the KB member you were in charge of arresting, escaped from prison in the Northwest and returned to Beijing for revenge. The arrest, but the operation failed, Da Jiang blocked a shot for comrade...the bullet...was shot from his throat...the whole neck was smashed..."

"Stop talking...boss..." The hotness blurred his eyes at that moment.

"Lin Shen, you captured Qinglang back then. That guy was a mercenary in Southeast Asia, and you know his skills better than I do. You are also one of his revenge targets, so be careful."

"……I know."

"The day after tomorrow, the Bureau will send Brother Jiang farewell."

"I'll be there."

A busy tone came from the earphones, Lin Shen thumped the steering wheel hard, and kicked the accelerator hard.

The wind poured into the car, tearing at Lin Shen's long hair, just like tearing at Lin Shen's heart, and tears fell silently from the corners of his eyes.
