Chapter 61 Chapter 61 The corpse shocked the world
Captain Chen is not very good at history, but when he heard that it was an ancient tomb from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, he knew the importance of this ancient tomb no matter how shallow his historical literacy was.
This is an ancient tomb from more than 2,000 years ago, and its value is inestimable.
Captain Chen quickly expressed his stance, "Professor Xie, don't worry, we will never let these cultural relic criminals go, so we have mobilized manpower to conduct an emergency investigation.
Can you guess what important cultural relics have been lost in this tomb so far? "
Professor Xie lowered his face and pondered for a moment, "Currently we don't dare to go down the mouse hole to check. We can only know the weight by digging out the entire ancient tomb."
"It's just that this group of country rats is a little strange. We found that they actually dug two tomb passages in the same tomb, and one of them was filled in. If they wanted to destroy the traces, why didn't they also fill in the other passage? Woolen cloth?"
Captain Chen also fell into thinking after hearing this.
Zhou Xiaoxiao, who was behind him, suddenly said, "Professor Xie, could it be that they are not a group of people, or that this ancient tomb was stolen twice at different times."
Being reminded like this by Zhou Xiaoxiao, Professor Xie's eyes suddenly lit up, he slapped his thigh and said: "Hey, you are indeed the heroic policewoman of our Rongyang City, you really reminded me.
These tomb robbers are usually disloyal. In order to hide treasures privately, it is not ruled out that they will go to the tomb secretly. "
Hearing this, everyone nodded and felt that it made sense. This was at least a clue. If it could be confirmed, it meant that the criminal gangs were not working together and might be the key to solving the case.
Captain Chen also remembered something when he saw this, and said: "By the way, Professor Xie, when you came here, did you leave any footprints or fingerprints near the robbery cave?"
"Harmful!"
Professor Xie waved his hand, sighed in disappointment, and shook his head: "Based on the changes in the surrounding soil, this group of tomb robbers should have carried out the theft the night before yesterday. The entrance to the cave was washed away by rain, and all traces were destroyed. "
“It rained heavily the night before yesterday? So we found out a day late.”
“Well, Captain Chen, the excavation of cultural relics is the job of our Cultural Relics Bureau. The arrest of tomb robbers depends on the police. Okay, let’s go about our own business first. I’ll let you know if there are any new discoveries.”
After learning that he and others had slowed down the tomb robbers for a whole day, Professor Xie did not dare to delay, and Captain Chen could not afford to delay either.
He immediately summoned the idle police officers nearby and issued instructions.
"Comrades, I am giving you an order of action. Immediately conduct a comprehensive search of the mountains of Ranshan. No traces can be missed. Although the traces may be minimal after being washed away by a heavy rain, we cannot give up. We are all fighting. Come on, look carefully for me!"
"yes!"
Suddenly, all nearby police forces were involved in the search.
Not only manpower, some police officers even brought in five professional search dogs to find traces or clues of the tomb robbing gang.
After Captain Chen finished giving instructions, he led Zhou Xiaoxiao to the awning set up by the Cultural Relics Bureau.
Looking at the middle-aged man on the fishing bench who was stamping his feet anxiously, Captain Chen said, "You were the one who called the police?"
When the middle-aged man saw the person in charge coming, he immediately picked up the fishing gear and said, "Comrade police, I have told you everything I know. Can I go?"
Team Chen said angrily: "Why are you panicking?"
The middle-aged man said with a grimace, "It's almost nine o'clock, and all the good fishing spots have been taken away by others."
Zhou Xiaoxiao and Captain Chen were ashamed, thinking that it was already late and they were still thinking about fishing.
I have to say that these fishermen are really dedicated. I heard that they are not afraid of encountering floating corpses at night, but are afraid of disturbing the nest.
Subsequently, Captain Chen and the Diaoyu guy checked again to find out the details of the place where the incident occurred. After seeing that there were no problems, they asked the Diaoyu guy to sign, leave his phone number and ID card, and then let him go.
After the fishing guy left, Zhou Xiaoxiao also stood up and said that he also wanted to participate in the mountain search.
Zhou Xiaoxiao’s willingness to take the initiative shows that she has great discernment.
After Captain Chen agreed, he stayed alone at the scene with the old professor from the Cultural Relics Bureau.
Zhou Xiaoxiao hurriedly walked into the pine forest.
With the passage of time, the excavation work of the Warring States tombs began to go smoothly.
By almost noon, the size of the ancient tomb had been roughly determined.
The scale is not large, it can even be said to be very small, which shows that the status of the owner of the tomb is not too great and does not reach the level of a prince or aristocrat at all. However, it still has a certain archaeological value.
At the same time, among the police officers on the other side who were conducting a comprehensive search of the mountain forest, although the search scope continued to expand to the surrounding areas, the mountain roads became increasingly difficult to walk, especially after the rain, the ground was muddy, and every foot felt like stepping in a swamp. .
When we were three or four miles away from the ancient cemetery, a police dog suddenly started barking!
The police officers nearby were all alert. There was no doubt that the police dogs smelled something unusual.
“Gray Wolf, what did you find?”
The police dog Gray Wolf ignored the police officer's reassurance and instead dived vigorously in one direction.
The police officer quickly untied the rope from the gray wolf and shouted to his colleagues through the intercom, "I have a situation here, follow the gray wolf!"
Three nearby police officers arrived immediately and immediately followed the gray wolf, trudging all the way through the mud to a low slope.
I saw the police dog Gray Wolf digging and sniffing at a small dirt bag.
The police officer could see something was wrong with this little bag of dirt at a glance, and immediately called out: "The outside of this bag of dirt is new soil. There may be something buried. Please help dig it out with something!"
The three of them worked together to dig up the soil bag quickly, but when they saw the scenery inside, they felt shuddering!
"this…"
“Report the situation quickly! We have a clue!”
An older police officer immediately turned on the intercom.
…
At the same time, Captain Chen, who was at the ancient tomb, was still recording some on-site information. At this time, with a burst of electricity, a shocking news suddenly came from the walkie-talkie placed next to him!
“Team Chen, we found a body in the mountains!”
"What? Where is it?" Captain Chen's pupils were shocked and he exclaimed.
“This body was buried in the soil and dug out by our search dogs, right here.”
“Okay, I’ll be right over.”
With that said, Captain Chen greeted the surprised Cultural Relics Bureau staff and hurried towards the place where the body was found.
Although the distance is not far, just a few miles, the road in the mountains is really difficult.
Captain Chen and some police officers spent a long time before arriving at the place where the body was dumped. They immediately saw the body of a man whose body had been half dug out.
Captain Chen immediately issued an order to clean the scene and check for traces. At the same time, he should not conduct a comprehensive excavation of the body for the time being.
Not long after, the traces from all around were collected, and Team Chen immediately sent a message to the forensic department of the police station after taking photos and collecting evidence:
“Old Qin, a body was found at the crime scene. We need an on-site autopsy from your forensic department. Hurry!”
