Chapter 1468
I felt like vomiting, so I took my plate and went to watch TV.
"Good afternoon, viewers, the latest news at noon."
"According to information, criminals were found illegally excavating ancient tomb sites in our city yesterday. Let us learn about the latest news."
The TV screen switched to a deserted area, with a cordon surrounding the area. There was a man in uniform, who should be from the police station.
I saw the robbery cave and concluded at a glance that it was Ye Luzi who did it.
The large hole dug at the entrance of the robber's cave was very uneven. They used a square-head shovel instead of a cyclone shovel. Moreover, the location chosen by the robber's cave was in a concave position, which is prone to water accumulation and collapse.
Dou Sprout came over with the cake, and I motioned for him to stop talking.
The reporter asked: "Officer Zhao, what's the latest situation now?"
The police officer said solemnly: "Experts from the Cultural Relics Bureau conducted an inspection this morning. This place belongs to an ancient sarcophagus tomb from the mid- to early Shang Dynasty that has not yet been discovered. The suspect who robbed the ancient tomb was a gang and was very professional. The time of the robbery should have been yesterday." Late at night from one to three.”
Douyazai bit his plastic fork and said, "Fengzi, who did this? Are there ancient tombs from the Shang Dynasty here?"
I frowned and said yes.
Some fake experts say that there are no high ancient tombs in western Sichuan, but that is nonsense.
There has been no cultural gap here in Sichuan since ancient times.
On the contrary, there are super prehistoric civilizations such as the ancient Shu Kingdom, Sanxingdui, and Ba Kingdom in Sichuan.
The so-called prehistoric civilization refers to the mysterious civilization that existed before the Shang Dynasty.
However, what was mentioned on TV was "ancient sarcophagus tombs of the Shang Dynasty", which made me confused.
From my understanding, ordinary people in the early and middle Shang Dynasty did not use coffins.
The large tombs do not use coffins, but coffins made of large laminated wooden strips. They are usually square or sub-shaped earth pit coffins.
I have never seen a sarcophagus from the Shang Dynasty. Sarcophagi only became popular after the Western Zhou Dynasty, so I guessed it was a mistake?
The police officer promised to solve the case as soon as possible, and the scene changed to interviewing nearby residents. It was very remote, with only one family living in a vegetable field.
The old vegetable grower said: "I was sleeping in the middle of last night when I heard a roar. My wife said it was thunder and it was going to rain and asked me to collect my clothes. I came out and saw that it didn't look like it was going to rain, so I went back to sleep. Well, I saw this big hole in the morning."
At this time, the little sister came over and said: "He is lying."
I asked in surprise: "How did you tell?"
The younger sister stared at it and said, "You can see from his eyes that he must know the inside story. Maybe he is the one who robbed the tomb."
I was thinking, why don't I go take a look in the afternoon?
Anyway, it’s not far from here, so I’m not afraid of the shadow being crooked. It’s not our fault. I’m not afraid. I’m very curious about what the Shang Dynasty sarcophagus looked like.
In this way, I drove Xiaoxuan and took a stroll in the afternoon. The address was on the west side of Zheduo Mountain, near Mohuo Village.
We got there at 3:30, and there were a lot of people, mostly villagers, watching the fun.
"Brother, what's going on?" I gave him a cigarette.
"Young man, you came late and didn't see it. We all saw it just now. There were many weasels running out of the cave."
"weasel?"
"Yes, such a big weasel!" The man stretched out his hand and gestured.
I frowned and asked, "Didn't you say there was a sarcophagus?"
"They all said it was there, but I didn't see it and I wouldn't let it pass."
"Everyone, stop looking! There's nothing to see! Let's all disperse!"
No one listened, but more and more people came to watch the excitement.
Some people were dissatisfied and said: "Who are you to drive us away? We are still waiting to see the crane lift the coffin."
Let Xiaoxuan stay here, I took advantage of the chaos and squeezed through, ran to the thieves' cave and squatted down to take a look.
It was very deep and dark. I threw a stone down.
Listening to the echo, it was about fifteen meters deep.
Sudden!
I saw a pair of strange "yellow eyes" appear out of thin air at the bottom of the cave.
