Zhang Yu was worried about the fate that the two of them were about to face. When he heard Mei Qian's words, he couldn't help being shocked and looked at him in surprise.
Unfortunately, Mei Qian's face is hidden in the shadows and cannot be seen clearly.
After a while, he smiled easily and said: "It's come to this. If you kill me, even if you get out by luck, how can you explain it to the outside world?"
"Just run away? If I sneak into the forest, who can see me?" Mei Qian narrowed her eyes.
"Don't make trouble. Now that surveillance is advanced, where can you go? You don't want your house deposit or your assistant?" Zhang Yu still smiled: "A guy who doesn't hurt anyone in a fight in the detention center will be a guy who doesn't care about anything.
A desperado?"
"It's good that you know." After Mei Qian said these words, he pretended not to notice the other person's little gesture of touching the gun, then turned back and continued to knock on the stone door, sometimes putting his ear against the wall.
, seems to be listening to something.
Zhang Yu quietly let go of his hand on the holster. Just as he was about to ask something, he heard Mei Qian say: "We may face many unknown dangers next, so some words must be explained clearly in advance. I trust you."
Professional ethics, I also hope you can trust me, believe that I will not run away alone, let alone harm you. No matter how you doubt my identity, wait until I get out."
Zhang Yu was stunned and asked: "Have you found a way out?"
"Almost." Mei Qian clamped the flashlight on his shoulder, then squatted down and knocked hard on a stone brick with both hands. After a while, he suddenly smiled: "It is indeed moving." He scraped the soil under the stone brick clean with his hands.
The palm of his hand fell into a narrow gap.
The other hand stretched out to Zhang Yu's eyes: "Where are your keys?"
Then he exerted great force, relying on a small key and his right hand, to separate the several-foot-square stone bricks by a few inches.
Seeing this, Zhang Yu also stepped forward to help. Finally, with the combined efforts of the two of them, the stone brick was completely pulled in.
Seeing the gap that was just big enough for one person to pass through, although his intuition told him that there was no danger on the other side, Mei Qian still covered his mouth and nose and took a flashlight to look at it. Although he couldn't see anything because of the angle, he couldn't feel anything unusual.
, then slowly loosened the hand on his nose, probably because of the recent earthquakes, the air in the ancient tomb was circulated, and there was no unpleasant smell, so he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Finally I don't have to be trapped here waiting to die.
The two discussed it, and Zhang Yu took the lead and got to the opposite side one by one.
"I said, this is different from what I imagined!" After passing the hole, Zhang Yu patted the dust on his body and said in a complaining tone: "Look at the protagonists in your novels who all have special skills.
You can come and go freely underground, how can you dig a dog hole?"
"You said it was a novel." Mei Qian came over, but he was also disgraced. However, he did not rush to take care of himself, but held up a flashlight and began to observe the surrounding environment.
This is a small space, and the most conspicuous thing is a four-legged square tripod two people high directly opposite.
Seeing this cauldron, Mei Qian's face froze. He shifted his flashlight and saw a huge sarcophagus next to the cauldron, and there was really a passage behind the sarcophagus.
He just borrowed the "Tomb Robber's Diary" from Ning Chi a few days ago and reviewed it carefully. The layout looked familiar to him.
No matter from the indoor layout or the patterns of the sun, moon and stars on the cauldron, they are exactly the same as those described in the novel.
I had watched the TV series, so I had a deep memory of this paragraph, so I kept it when I copied it.
The only thing that is different from what is recorded in the book now is that there is no passage for the protagonist of the novel to come in, there is only one way out.
Wait, if the Dragon-Breaking Stone is not put down, wouldn’t it be...
His eyebrows were beating wildly. Since everything else had come true, could there really be a bloody corpse lying in the coffin?
"Is there really such a thing as a bloody corpse?" Coincidentally, Zhang Yu seemed to be quite familiar with that novel.
"How is that possible?" Mei Qian retorted sternly: "How could such evil things exist in the world? This is obviously a place reserved for future generations to offer sacrifices to. As far as I know, all large tombs have such arrangements."
Then he ignored Zhang Yu's probing gaze and began to observe and explore the surrounding walls.
I don't know why, but his trajectory is always far away from the coffin.
Finally, after confirming that there was no other way out, the two walked around the coffin and entered the corridor.
After leaving the stone chamber for a while, Mei Qian, who was walking in front, quietly let out a breath. He was really afraid that Zhang Yu would suggest opening the coffin to verify. With such an unreliable system, what if a monster suddenly jumped out of it?
So sad.
The tomb passage they were in was sloping downward. It was similar to the place they fell in. It was smooth and had neither patterns nor inscriptions. But it was much shorter. Not long after, a door made of white jade appeared in front of them.
Mei Qian looked at the statues of evil spirits on both sides of the gate and felt his head throbbing in pain.
"Do you think this is a coincidence?" Zhang Yu looked strange and joked. He went straight to the statue and tried to turn the jade seal in the statue of the evil ghost. According to the description in "Tomb Robber Diary", this should be the mechanism that opens the door.
.
However, what made Mei Qian relieved was that no matter how Zhang Yu changed directions, the jade seal did not move at all and was obviously fixed.
Fortunately there are different places.
"Is this another dead end?" Zhang Yu frowned and looked at Mei Qian: "What should we do next?"
"I'm tired, let's rest for a few minutes." Mei Qian didn't care about being dirty and sat down on the ground. Strangely enough, even though it was dark and cold here, thin beads of sweat appeared on his head.
"There won't be seven fake coffins behind the door, right?" For some reason, Zhang Yu was no longer as worried about how to enter the tomb at this time. He happily distributed the cigarettes, lit them and sat on the ground.
Mei Qian didn't answer, took two puffs of cigarette, and suddenly asked: "Tell me, how long do you plan to imprison someone like me? When will I be free again?"
"It starts in ten years, and the maximum is indefinite. You have to wait." Zhang Yuzhengrong replied.
Mei Qian: "..." He doesn't know if it's too late for him to die now?
Seeing his appearance, Zhang Yu smiled again: "We police handle cases based on evidence. We can't find any concrete evidence of your crime at the moment, but your situation is quite special, and you may have to stay in the detention center for a while."
"What kind of special law? Let him go since there is no evidence? It would be better to be released on bail pending trial than now!" Mei Qian frowned, and his tone was a bit harsh: "After all, I am a minor celebrity, and I have been locked up like this. You guys
Aren’t you afraid of the negative impact?”
Zhang Yu didn't care about his attitude and patiently explained to him.
"It is precisely because you are a public figure that you must consciously accept supervision. The law will protect your legitimate rights and interests. But at the same time, the law also has relatively strict requirements for people like you. As a public figure, you are crucial to the social atmosphere.
Guiding role. Therefore, we must be cautious when investigating your case. Although there is no evidence that you robbed the tomb, there were too many coincidences that happened to you, and they were exposed in the eyes of the people across the country. Your case was taken seriously by the authorities as soon as it appeared.
, belongs to the ministry’s key supervision. And everything we do has a legal basis.”
"Let's talk about your detention first. According to Article 82 of the "Xia State Criminal Procedure Law", the police agency can detain current criminals or major suspects in one of six circumstances, and you happen to be
It meets three of the points. First, there is the possibility of destroying, forging evidence or colluding with confessions. Don’t stare. In our eyes, you are a major suspect, and we don’t know who your accomplices are. Even if we monitor your communications, there is no guarantee.
Have you sent the information out? If you don’t clear the suspicion, who will dare to let you go now?”
"Second, you don't tell your real name, address, and your identity is unknown. You can't deny this, right? You can't even explain your hometown and parents, right?
Third, there are serious suspicions of committing crimes on the run, committing crimes many times, and committing crimes in groups. Grave robbing is definitely not a one-person thing, right? There are so many coincidences in your novels, is it wrong to say that you, or you, committed crimes in a gang, or committed crimes in a gang?"
"But I didn't rob the tomb at all!" Mei Qian sighed. Although lawyer Lu Tianlu also told him about these laws and regulations, when the police officer investigating his case said it, it had a different taste.
"You have no evidence of your innocence, right? If you can tell your origins, we will definitely be able to find out, and won't the suspicion be cleared?"
"Whoever makes the claim must provide evidence. If you say I'm guilty, you should be the one to provide evidence!" Mei Qian snorted coldly.
Zhang Yu was still smiling: "Aren't we investigating? As for the time of your detention, according to Article 156 of the Criminal Procedure Law, the period of investigation and detention of a criminal suspect after arrest shall not exceed two months. However, the circumstances of the case
For cases that are complex and cannot be concluded upon expiration of the time limit, the case can be extended by one month with the approval of the higher-level procuratorate. If evidence cannot be found within the time limit, you may be released on bail pending trial or acquitted."
"Of course, depending on the nature of the case, you may also face another situation. Generally, it is two months, and if the case is complicated, it will be extended by one month. If it is a case belonging to a major criminal group, a complex case where the crime is committed, the crime involves a wide range of evidence, and the evidence collection is
For difficult and major cases that may result in a prison sentence of more than ten years, the detention period may reach seven months with the approval or decision of the provincial procuratorate. In the most extreme cases, the detention period may be as long as the Supreme Procuratorate submits it to the national cabinet for approval.
It can be extended indefinitely. Calculate for yourself how many points do you meet?"
Mei Qian's face turned green when he heard this: "I won't be so unlucky, right?" When he first listened to the lawyer's explanation, he was full of confidence, because he had never done it before, so he didn't care.
But what Zhang Yu means now is that he won't be able to get out for a while?
Zhang Yu comforted him warmly: "Of course, what I'm talking about is that our police have made a major breakthrough in your case. At present, if no evidence can be found anymore, there is a possibility that you will be acquitted or released on bail pending trial."
It needs to be bigger.”
After saying this, Mei Qian felt a little relieved. But just when he was about to continue asking questions.
The entire corridor suddenly shook, and then he heard the familiar "rumbling" sound. Was there another earthquake?
