Chapter 44 Chang'an Mystery Case 1
Xi'an, known as Chang'an in ancient times, has been the capital of emperors since ancient times. This thousand-year-old city has been the capital of a total of 13 dynasties including Western Zhou, Qin, Western Han, Xinmang, Western Jin, Former Zhao, Former Qin, Later Qin, Western Wei, Northern Zhou, Sui and Tang.
It is one of the most important birthplaces of Chinese civilization.
The Fenghao Capital City, Epang Palace, Daming Palace, and Weiyang Palace here are all world-renowned historical monuments. Among them, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang are the most famous and are the most popular historic sites in Xi'an.
Xi'an is an ancient city with many imperial tombs. Because it was an ancient capital that experienced 13 dynasties, some very precious tombs with great archaeological significance are often found here.
It is precisely because of this that Xi'an is home to many famous historians and archaeologists at home and abroad. If Professor Tan had not been employed by our NTU, he would most likely have settled here, because this is the place where
An archaeologist's paradise.
"Liu Hao, have you received the list your uncle provided us?" When our car entered Xi'an, I began to figure out what to do next.
"Not yet. My uncle said that the information about these five surviving experts is confidential. He has spent a lot of effort, but he still hasn't gotten any specific information about these experts."
When I heard this, I felt that this matter was difficult to handle. Liu Hao's uncle is a very capable person. Although I don't know what his specific job is, he gave me the feeling that there are very few things that he can't handle.
of.
But now even Liu Hao's uncle said that he can't get the information of these five experts. If this is the case, how can we find these five experts? You must know that Xi'an has a population of more than 8 million. In this huge crowd, if it is not accurate,
There is no way we can find these 5 people.
"Hexuan, what should we do now? We have arrived in Xi'an, but without news about those five experts, we have no way to find them!" Li boldly came over. Although his tone was calm, I could feel the meaning in his words.
of uneasiness.
"Professor Tan, you are a veteran of archeology, and you should be familiar with the archaeological community in Xi'an."
When we were worrying about how to find these five surviving archaeologists, I suddenly thought of Professor Tan. If there is anyone among us who is most familiar with the archaeological world, it is undoubtedly the Professor Tan next to us.
Professor Tan comes from a family of archaeologists, and three generations of his family have been engaged in archaeology. He is definitely the most familiar with the archaeological world. If he comes forward, we may be able to find these five people from other places.
"Well, I do have a few archeology friends in Xi'an, but I don't know if they were invited when the ancient tombs were excavated here. I'm afraid they don't know much."
Tan Jiao was also unambiguous. He knew the current situation and of course he would not refuse at all. After all, it was also related to his own life.
"There is no news about Uncle Liu Hao now. We can't just waste time like this. Let's go to your friends first and ask if there is any news." I heard that Professor Tan has a friend here. I don't care whether he has any news, so I decided to go find him first.
Say it again.
Although the few of us have taken medicine to suppress the brain corpse worm, who knows when this thing will attack. Once the brain corpse worm attacks, the way of death is very painful.
"He Xuan is right, we must find those five experts as soon as possible and try every method." Li Danda was the first to support me.
After discussing the countermeasures in detail, we decided that Professor Tan would look for information on the five surviving experts, while the rest of us would first find a place to stay.
Then we split up, Professor Tan and Xiao Wang, because Xiao Wang had a car so it would be easier to move around, while Liu Hao, Li Dadan and I settled down first.
After half an hour, a few of us split up and started proceeding as planned.
It is not difficult to find accommodation in Xi'an. It is easy to find it as long as you have money. Before departure, Professor Tan gave us 30,000 yuan. He picked up the money on the way. It was not until now that we discovered that this old professor also
It's really rich.
But think about it, Professor Tan has three generations of archaeologists in his family, and he is a famous scholar. How could he have no money? Tens of thousands of dollars is not a big number to him at all.
Half a day later, we found a house near Weiyang Road in Xi'an. It cost 2,000 yuan a month for three bedrooms, two living rooms and one bathroom. The rent was not very expensive.
After reaching an agreement with the landlord, we paid half a year's rent at a time and moved in that day. After settling in, I called Professor Tan and told him the address.
After Liu Hao and Li boldly put down their things, they went to a nearby supermarket to buy some daily necessities. This time we came out in a hurry and didn't bring anything with us, so we had to buy everything again.
Fortunately, Professor Tan gave us 30,000 yuan, otherwise we wouldn’t know what to do!
After Liu Hao and Li boldly went out, I lay on the bed alone, thinking about the recent events in my mind. One by one, these events flashed through my mind like a movie.
Before I knew it, I fell asleep. Maybe I was too tired from the past two days. As soon as I fell asleep, I completely lost consciousness.
Drowsily, I seemed to feel like someone was pushing me. At this time, my head felt dizzy, my whole body had no strength, and my head was as heavy as a sandbag.
I knew someone was pushing me, but I just couldn't open my eyes.
"Who is it?" I wanted to ask who it was, but when I opened my mouth forcefully, I found that I couldn't speak at all.
At this time, someone pushed my shoulder again, and I tried hard to open my eyes, but my eyelids felt like lead, and I just couldn't open them.
Half a minute later, the man pushed my shoulder again, this time much harder than before, and I tried hard to open my eyes again.
With my efforts, those eyelids, which were filled with lead, finally opened suddenly.
But the moment I opened my eyes, the scene in front of me scared me so much that I almost fell off the bed.
I saw a big bug with a snow-white body and a body as thick as a bucket lying next to my bed. Its head was raised high, and in the middle of its head was a huge mouthpart that was as long as an arm.
I also studied biology before, and I noticed that this kind of mouthparts is a piercing-sucking mouthpart. The most common type of mouthparts that have this kind of mouthpart is mosquitoes.
But the mouthparts of mosquitoes are very small, but the mouthparts of this big bug are ridiculously large. I have no doubt that if I were stung by it, even my brain and all the body fluids in my body would be sucked clean!
