Because Officer Mu and the others started their search toward the west of the camp, Lin Qianyi and I were responsible for the north and south sides respectively. As for the east side, it was where we just found the bodies of the archaeological team and the unidentified person.
We have already checked carefully before and there is no need to continue checking.
The north side of the camp that I am responsible for is the area closest to the ruins. I first checked the area with the sign of the Cultural Relics Restoration Room, and then there were some rooms without signs, which seemed to be where inspected cultural relics were stacked.
There were also no people in these houses, only some cultural relics that had been processed and sealed were left in them. Some of these cultural relics seemed to be vessels from the ancient Dian Kingdom, and some were ivory handicrafts with exotic styles.
, it seems to be quite valuable.
But having said that, seeing these mountains of cultural relics stacked together without any defense, I really can't understand the purpose of the attackers.
In the police call received by Officer Mu and others, the archaeological team did not describe the identity of the attacker on the phone. The current assumption that the attackers may be a cultural relic theft gang is only a guess made by Officer Hu and others based on the situation at the scene.
.But after seeing these cultural relics, I have some doubts about this speculation. If those people's purpose is really for these cultural relics, why didn't they touch the cultural relics in this house? And speaking of it, generally just
The theft gang that stole cultural relics, even if their actions were exposed, would not be so frenzied that they would kill the entire archaeological team, right? Perhaps, it is still somewhat difficult to conclude that this incident was the work of a cultural relic theft gang.
It's too early...
When I left the house and came to the edge of the camp, I inadvertently glanced at the ruins of the nearby ancient city, and noticed what seemed to be a person lying on the nearby city wall.
Another corpse!
I can make such a judgment without getting close.
Because under the city wall, I had already seen a pool of red liquid flowing down the wall below the figure, dyeing the section of the ancient city wall under him bright red.
I looked around and saw no suspicious figures nearby, so I walked towards the city wall.
Stepping on the cracked stone stairs to the top of the city wall, I briefly confirmed the newly discovered deceased.
The deceased was a man. The cause of death seemed to be a fatal puncture wound to the chest and heart. However, in addition to this, there was another suspicious thing about his body, that is, the face of the corpse had been stabbed with a sharp weapon.
Completely disfigured! Someone used something like a dagger to not only cut the face of the deceased, but even cut off all his facial features, making the face of the deceased look exactly like a skull.
There is no telling what he was like during his lifetime.
In addition, there is another thing that caught my attention, that is, the time of death of the deceased was different from what we found in the dormitory before. Although the blood of the deceased dripping on the ground was cold, it was not cold yet.
Completely dry, his death time should be a few hours after the deaths of those in the dormitory. In other words, this person did not die at the beginning of the attack, but dealt with the attacker for a long time.
He was finally killed here.
After a brief confirmation, I got off the city wall. When I was about to find Officer Xiamu and others and tell them what I had just discovered, I suddenly felt a strange feeling under my feet, as if I had stepped on something sticky.
Is it blood?
I raised my feet and lowered my head, only to see that what was stuck to the ground was not red blood, but a ball of slippery and transparent dirt.
I tried touching the dirt with my toes again and found that it was a sticky liquid that looked like mucus.
Some, like saliva or phlegm, are liquids that can cause physiological disgust.
After taking a closer look, I found that this liquid was stained everywhere on the ground.
"Strange, did I see these things just now?" I followed the traces of these liquids on the ground step by step until I reached a stone house. The stone house in front of me was everywhere in the ruins.
They are all probably the houses of the lower-class residents of the ancient Dian Kingdom who lived here in ancient times.
And the traces of dirt I just traced all the way into this stone house.
Is there something in this?
I stood in front of the stone house, carefully raised the flashlight, then opened it and shined inside.
However, as soon as the light of the flashlight entered the stone house, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of me. At the same time, the sound of a sharp blade cutting through the air rang in my ears.
I held the flashlight almost instinctively. Then, with the harsh metal sound, I felt that the flashlight in my hand seemed to be blocking something. However, despite this, my flashlight was blocked by that flash.
Smashed the light bulb.
My eyes immediately turned dark, and at this moment, the sound of breaking through the air sounded again. The person who attacked me seemed to be unwilling to give up and insisted on killing me.
Although I lost my sight, the close combat skills I learned from Lin Qianyi in Game 749 were not in vain. Just as the sound of breaking through the air sounded, I reflexively moved to the side, and then
Then he aimed at the place where the sound of breaking through the air came and kicked him.
With a sound of "Bang!", my foot seemed to have kicked someone, and the person was kicked away.
At the same time, for safety reasons, I immediately shouted loudly: "Who are you? Why did you attack me!"
My shouting was not only to frighten the other party, but also to warn Lin Qianyi and the others.
Sure enough, not long after my cry rang out, the voices of Officer Mu and Lin Qianyi came from the distance.
"Comrade Lin! What's wrong with you over there?"
"Four-nine! Hold on, I'll be right over!"
Hearing their shouts, the black figure that attacked me became obviously sluggish. Then, I saw it seemed to get up from the ground, and it tried to escape.
This person who sneaked up on me in secret is crucial for us to figure out what happened here. I knew this very well, and I was not going to let him go. So, I adjusted my posture, lowered my head, and pounced with all my strength.
He went up and pushed the figure hard.
The figure rolled seven or eight times on the ground and was still trying to get up. I had already rushed over and pressed on its back. I was about to use the joint skills Lin Qianyi taught me to kill this figure again.
After controlling it, I suddenly heard a painful cry from underneath me: "Stop, stop! I surrender!"
"Four-nine!"
"Comrade Lin!"
At the same time, the light of three flashlights came over, and the three police officers who came after hearing the news came to me.
Through the light of the flashlight they brought, I noticed that the person under me was a man in his forties. In addition, there was also a sharp dagger lying at my feet.
The man was lying on the ground. When he saw Officer Mu and the two officers, he immediately said to them: "Officer Mu! Officer Hu! Misunderstanding! This is all a misunderstanding! Things are not what you think!"
Misunderstanding? I curled my lips and put a little more force on my hands, causing the man to shout "hurt" several times. At the same time, I said: "This guy attacked me just now. If I hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been dead by now."
Dead! How dare you say it was a misunderstanding?"
"Comrade Lin, calm down!" Officer Mu came over, swept the man's face with his flashlight, and then said to me: "Comrade Lin, please stop first. We recognize this guy, he is Li Shengli from the archaeological team.
,Associate Professor Li.”
Associate Professor Li? I was surprised when I heard what Officer Mu said. I pulled the man up from the ground and then pushed him to a nearby wall.
I asked: "Associate Professor Li? Why did you attack me just now?"
Associate Professor Li turned around and said with an aggrieved look: "I said it was a misunderstanding, okay? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, okay? Also, Officer Mu, I've told you many times, please don't call me Li
Associate Professor, can you please just call me Professor Li?"
Officer Mu ignored the second half of "Professor Li's" words. Instead, he briefly introduced the identities of Lin Qianyi and me to Li Shengli, and then asked directly: "Associate Professor Li, can you explain it in detail?
?Why did you attack Comrade Lin just now? Also, what happened here? We found the bodies of many people in the camp!"
"I heard the noise and thought Comrade Lin was the one who attacked us!" Li Shengli explained, "So I attacked him. I was just trying to protect myself. Is this wrong?"
I asked: "The people who attacked you? Who were those people? Why did you think I was them?"
"I don't know!" Li Shengli held his head and said with some pain, "I was in the cultural relic restoration room at the time, and suddenly there was a scream outside. After I walked out, I saw that the camp was in chaos. Those people
They killed everyone they saw and even gathered their bodies together! I was so frightened that I secretly escaped into the ruins!"
