When the little girl saw that the person coming was Gu Chen, she boldly walked to the car and asked, "Gu Chen, is this your car, right?"
"Yes." Gu Chen smiled at her and said, "I brought you delicious food."
"Really?" The little girl looked very depressed just now, but when she heard that there was something delicious, she suddenly became excited.
Gu Chen stepped on the accelerator and drove the car to the parking shed, only to find that all the police cars at the Haitang Police Station... had miraculously disappeared.
After getting out of the car, Gu Chen opened the trunk and stacked the contents together.
After closing the car door, he said: "One of these boxes is for you, and the other is for other uncles from Haitang Police Station."
"You really fulfilled your promise, that's great." The little girl reached for the box.
As a result, he found that he couldn't hold it at all, which made Gu Chen laugh twice.
"Leave the boxes alone for now." Gu Chen folded the cartons together again and said, "I'll put them in the office first, and then help you take them home."
"Then you'd better leave it in the office first." The little girl Nono suddenly said, "There's no one at home anyway."
"No one is at home?" Gu Chen looked around and said, "But there seems to be no one at the police station? Where have all these people gone?"
The little girl shook her head: "I don't know. My father went out early in the morning, and my mother also went to buy groceries. She asked me to stay alone in the office and not to run around. She said she would wait for them to come back. Then I was bored by myself, so I waited for them at the door.
"
"There are many cars on the roadside and it's not safe. Come on, follow me to the office." Gu Chen brought Nono to the office.
Just like what I imagined...
The office was empty, everyone seemed to have gone out.
At this moment, Nono found a pair of small scissors, then cut open the tape of the carton, happily ate the snacks inside, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Gu Chen, your snacks are so delicious."
"As long as you like it." Gu Chen touched Nono's head, took out his mobile phone and dialed Qitian's number.
Not long after, the phone call came through.
There was a lot of noise and excitement over Qitian. It seemed quite lively.
"Senior Brother Qi, where are you?" Gu Chen asked.
"We are in a cemetery in the East District." Qi Tian said.
"Cemetery?" Gu Chen was stunned for a moment and said, "What are you doing there? Why did I find that all the vehicles in the cemetery were missing, and there was no one in the cemetery."
"What did you say? Just wait."
The noise from Qi Tian's side was quite loud, so he didn't hear Gu Chen's question, so he walked to a quiet place and continued to ask: "Gu Chen, what did you just say?"
"I said there are no vehicles or people in the place," Gu Chen said.
Qi Tian chuckled twice and said: "Late last night, someone discovered an ancient tomb in the East District. No, we took people there to protect the scene last night. This morning, there were more people coming to watch. The high office
We are afraid that the ancient tomb will be damaged, so all of us should rush to the ancient tomb immediately to provide support."
After thinking about it, Qi Tian said again: "By the way, Gu Chen, the scientific research experts from the province will come to Haitang Police Station soon. You can receive them then and bring them here to me. I will send you their location later."
past."
"Okay, no problem." After confirming the scene, Gu Chen hung up the phone.
"There are actually ancient tombs in Haitang Town?" Gu Chen also muttered to himself, feeling a little incredible.
However, as a city with a long history, Jiangnan City is not uncommon to have ancient tombs.
I have seen some reports before, and some people have discovered ancient tombs that are thousands of years old.
"Gu Chen, what is an ancient tomb?" Nono, who was also sitting on the sofa in the office, asked Gu Chen for advice while eating jelly.
"Ancient tombs...are the tombs of ancient people."
"What is the tomb?" the little girl asked again.
"This..." Gu Chen hesitated and said with a smile: "To put it simply, it is the place where a person is buried in the ground after death."
"But why were the tombs of ancient people discovered? Why did my father and the others go to protect the site? Is there a lot of delicious food in the ancient tombs?"
The little girl's innocent question really stumped Gu Chen.
Gu Chen also couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "There is no food in the ancient tomb, but there may be some burial objects in the ancient tomb, which are some of the personal belongings of ancient people."
"Like a mobile phone? And Peppa Pig?" Nono's eyes widened, looking very amused.
Gu Chen smiled and said: "There are no such things, because these things have not appeared at that time, so they can only be some valuable porcelain, gold and silver jewelry and other items."
"That's not fun at all." The little girl continued to sit on the sofa in the office and eat snacks.
I feel like I don’t like anything that adults like.
At least those porcelains can be as fun as Peppa Pig?
But the little girl doesn't know that if an ancient porcelain can make her rich enough to eat snacks for a lifetime, she will probably find it fun.
The two of them sat in the office and waited quietly...
Qi Xiaonuo also briefly became a left-behind child at Haitang Police Station.
Usually when Qi Tian and Yuan Hong didn't have time to take care of the little girl, they would throw her to the police station.
Because there are cameras everywhere, as long as the little girl doesn't go out, no one will dare to come to the police station to abduct the child.
8:37 am.
Two off-road vehicles drove into Haitang Police Station one after another.
Six people got out of the car one after another.
There are young people, middle-aged people, and old people.
An old man looked around and said to a young man: "Xiao Zhang, go to the police station and see if there are any police officers to respond to us."
"Okay." The young man named Xiao Zhang was about to turn around and go to the office building when he saw Gu Chen and Nuonuo standing at the door. He was stunned for a moment and said, "Professor, isn't there someone here?"
Gu Chen walked up directly and asked, "Who are you?"
"We are from the Provincial Museum, my surname is Li." The white-haired old man stepped forward with a smile and shook hands with Gu Chen: "We also received a notice from above. We heard that an ancient tomb was found in the suburbs of Haitang Town, Jiangnan City, and the province commissioned us.
Come over and investigate, conduct a scientific survey of the ancient tomb, and see if there are any important discoveries."
"It turns out to be Professor Li, hello." Gu Chen had spoken to Qi Tian on the phone beforehand, and naturally knew that the team leader's surname was Li, so he enthusiastically introduced himself: "I am a police officer from Haitang Police Station: Gu Chen."
"Hello, Officer Gu." Professor Li was very polite and introduced him to the people in the team: "This is my assistant Xiao Zhang, and the one wearing the peaked cap is Professor Wang, a senior archaeological expert in the province.
The first is Professor Peng, and his assistant Xiao He. Xiao He and the other driver, Master Xiao, are the logistics support."
"Hello." Gu Chen greeted everyone one by one and said, "I am entrusted by the office to receive you all. How about you go to the office to drink some water first, and then I will take you there?"
Considering that these six people all came from the provincial capital and had a long journey, Gu Chen still wanted them to take a rest first.
Professor Li waved his hand directly and said: "We have to do business first. We have water in the car. Why don't we bother Officer Gu to take us there first?"
It can be seen that Professor Li is also a pragmatic person.
Seeing that everyone was unwilling to rest, Gu Chen was naturally willing to lead the way and said, "Okay, let's set off now."
After settling Qi Xiaonuo in the office, Gu Chen got into Professor Li's car and drove along the road with the scientific expedition team.
Gu Chen opened the location sent to him by Qi Tian.
Since it was not a main road, everyone drove directly into a small road at a fork in the road, then another fork in the road, and then a small road. In the end, there was no road at all, and they drove directly off-road in the lawn.
The vehicle drove for about thirty minutes and entered a canyon. Then it drove further for ten minutes before arriving at an abandoned village.
In order to complete the poverty alleviation and relocation work here in the early years, many villagers moved out of the canyon very early and came to the newly built immigrant village in Haitang Town.
Not only can you live in clean and tidy buildings here, but life and shopping are also much more convenient.
Many villagers work in local companies and earn a lot of money.
However, the village that was abandoned decades ago is now covered with ivy and ivy on the walls, turning it into a somewhat terrifying uninhabited village.
Plants engulfed this original village in a sea of green...
There were many cars parked at the entrance of the village, including police cars and civilian vehicles.
A cordon was set up outside.
However, there were a large number of villagers, and many people crossed the cordon and entered the police's second line of defense, which was a flat area near the village.
However, there are police guards here and no one is allowed to approach.
Assistant Xiao Zhang pressed the car horn continuously, and a passage opened in front of the crowd, and then there was a police cordon in front of them.
"Professor Li, let's get off the bus right here?" Gu Chen asked.
"Okay." Professor Li nodded and opened the car door.
Two off-road vehicles were parked side by side at the intersection. Then, assistants Xiao Zhang and Xiao He, as well as the logistics driver Master Xiao, each carried a heavy travel bag and followed behind.
Gu Chen could tell with the naked eye that there were some professional tools inside.
Passing through an old house, we reached the innermost cordon.
Gu Chen walked at the front, pushing through the crowd first and saying, "Everyone, please give way and let the scientific expedition team go in first."
The crowd suddenly retreated to both sides like a tide, and many people were still muttering.
"Oh my god! Even the scientific expedition team is here. There must be a lot of treasures inside, right?"
"If you dig something out of this, you can really make a fortune."
"What are you thinking about? The scientific expedition team digs graves, which is called scientific research. We dig graves privately, which is called tomb robbing. If you want to go to jail, why don't you try it?"
"I'm just saying casually, aren't the people who come here all here to watch the fun?"
"Let me tell you, these scientific expedition teams are here just to determine whether there is any archaeological value. Once determined, the surrounding villages will be surrounded by cloth and used as an archaeological base. Then some tents will be dug.
Machines, all kinds of equipment will come in."
"Yo? You seem to understand very well. Please reveal another 10 yuan."
…
People who eat melons are still very imaginative and have all kinds of heated discussions.
Gao Jin, who was guarding the ancient tomb's cordon, discovered that Gu Chen had arrived at the scene with his scientific expedition team.
"The scientific research team from the Institute of Science and Technology has already brought it." Gu Chen said.
"Very good." Gao Jin nodded and took the initiative to step forward.
"This is the team leader, Professor Li, Professor Li, and this is Gao Jin, the director of our Haitang Police Station."
"Hello Professor Li."
"You are so good, Director."
"This is Professor Li's assistant Mr. Zhang. The one wearing a peaked cap is Professor Wang, a senior archaeological expert in the province. This is Professor Peng, and his assistant Mr. He. This is the driver and logistics support Master Xiao.
"
Based on the introduction of the leader, Professor Li, Gu Chen introduced all six members of the scientific expedition team to Gao Jin.
Gao Jin smiled: "Nice to meet you."
"Gao Jin, all your police officers came out to protect the scene. Thank you so much." Professor Wang also stepped forward and shook hands with Gao Jin.
"Yes, if our police cannot intervene immediately, the ancient tomb will probably be destroyed by these people, so there is no other way. The bureau asked us to protect the site, cooperate with your scientific expedition team, and do a good job in the early stage of archaeological research.
Get ready." Gao Jin said.
Professor Peng walked within the cordon and asked a flat area where part of the soil had been turned over: "How is the situation at the scene?"
"The situation is like this." Gao Jin also walked to the somewhat aloof Professor Peng and said, "There are a few fans who take small videos and want to take some small videos in this uninhabited village and put them on the Internet.
I didn’t know there was an ancient tomb here at first, so I planned to dig a simulated one in an open space outside the uninhabited village, imitating the way the army digs holes for cooking.”
"As a result, they dug up some ancient broken porcelain. They suspected that there were ancient tombs underground, and then called the police. However, because it was getting late, they did not dare to stay here, so they returned along the road."
"But because the news about the ancient tombs in the uninhabited village was leaked, many nearby villagers brought tools and prepared to dig holes here. Fortunately, our police arrived and stopped these villagers who destroyed the ancient tombs."
"But due to the large number of people, our police force is limited. In order to prevent someone from destroying the scene, we can only mobilize all our troops and have been holding on since last night until now."
Listening to Gao Jin's report, Professor Li said gratefully: "I really appreciate you police. Without your protection, this ancient tomb may soon cease to exist."
"It should be." Gao Jin smiled: "Apart from not being able to leave, I don't feel very hard at all."
Professor Peng, who was aloof on the side, said: "Just a few pieces of broken porcelain are not enough to conclude that there is an ancient tomb here. If not, your hard work will be in vain."
"It's okay, so I'm asking you to come over, right?" Gao Jin also felt that Professor Peng was really a little aloof, but he didn't take it to heart.
At this time, one of the melon-eating people reminded: "There should be ancient tombs. I heard the old people here say before that this village seemed to be cursed in the past, and some strange things often happened."
"So this village has never had good weather. Later, after Haitang Town launched poverty alleviation and relocation, the indigenous residents here began to live a good life. So this kind of place is very evil, and it is difficult to say that there will be no ancient tombs.
"
Professor Peng smiled and said: "This is just your one-sided statement. Archeology has always been a rigorous work. It cannot be judged by just listening to hearsay. It requires professional scientific basis."
"Yeah, I just heard about it casually." People who eat melons can't say much in front of experts. They can only respond with a smile: "You are experts, so whether there is an ancient tomb here depends on you."
Professor Wang unloaded his luggage and said, "Let's not talk nonsense here. If there are any ancient tombs, we will find out if we come over and investigate. Let's get to work quickly."
At Professor Wang's suggestion, the scientific expedition team entered the center directly and began to take out tools, collect soil and other procedures.
Gu Chen didn't quite understand, so he walked up to Qi Tian and asked, "Senior Brother Qi, were you here last night?"
"Yes, I went back for a meal on the way and came back in a hurry." Qi Tian rubbed his bloodshot eyes and couldn't help but yawned.
"Then tell me, is there really an ancient tomb here?" Gu Chen asked again.
Qi Tian crossed his arms and clicked his tongue: "Well...it's hard to say, but judging from the distribution of the porcelain on site, it's really interesting. Maybe there's a big tomb hidden in it."
"We are busy then." Gu Chen also smiled, took out a box of mints from his pocket, handed it to Qi Tian's hand, and then distributed the rest to the police officers on duty.
Throughout the morning, the scientific expedition team was making preliminary preparations.
The melon-eating crowd watching the excitement was almost noon, and the number of people began to gradually recede.
What started as a large group has now become groups of two or three.
…
…
12 o'clock noon.
A van painted with the restaurant's logo slowly drove into the cordoned area.
A driver wearing a blue baseball cap opened the door and shouted to the police at the scene: "Gaosuo, the lunch you ordered has been delivered. Come over and help get it."
"I go."
"I am coming too."
Qi Tian and Gu Chen were the first to leave the scene, carrying Gao Jinding's takeout with them.
The higher point is the set menu, which also has many drinks.
When the police officers on duty took a look, they all ran to the shade and prepared to have lunch.
"High Institute, let the people from the scientific expedition team come over to eat first." Qi Tian touched his growling stomach and said involuntarily: "Anyway, they have been here all morning, and they didn't find anything important. Anyway, there will be more in the afternoon."
I have time."
"They are also rushing to make progress and want to determine whether the site has scientific research value as soon as possible." Gu Chen opened a bottle of water, took a few sips and said: "But their methods are quite professional, so they should be more reliable.
Bar?"
"If they can get the results quickly, then we can feel more relaxed. When the big troops arrive and surround the scene with tarpaulins, we won't have anything to do." Officer Tan is also very tired and feels that he needs to seriously make up for it now.
Sleep.
But thinking that Gu Chen was on vacation yesterday and escaped a disaster, I felt that this guy was really lucky.
Gu Chen separated the lunch boxes for rice and vegetables, and simply cleared the weeds at the entrance of an old house as a place for everyone to eat.
Many police officers arrived one after another, but at this moment, good news came from the center of the ancient tomb investigation.
Professor Li's assistant, Xiao Zhang, was calling loudly to the police...
