Chapter 9 Peering into the spot and knowing the leopard
"A person's age, race, and living habits can be seen from the number of deciduous teeth or wisdom teeth in the teeth. The enamel of the teeth will grow at a rate of 4 microns per day, so observing the thickness of the enamel can also estimate a person's age.
The characteristics of the jaw can determine the race of the target, as well as some small details, such as smokers' teeth will turn black, tailors who always hold needles in their mouths will have larger gaps in their teeth, etc."
"The most direct way to determine a person's age at death is to take a sample from the teeth and then analyze the content of the carbon isotope carbon-14. You can determine the age when the person died. But we are now in an ancient tomb, and there is no such thing.
Under the conditions, it is more than enough to determine the gender and age of death directly from the degree of tooth wear."
Black glasses looked at Li Lvyan, who was frowning. The person in his mind overlapped with Li Lvyan inexplicably, and his face changed slightly. "Who are you, Jiang Yunsu?"
Li Lvyan was surprised, "Do you know my university professor?"
Black Glasses took a deep breath: This is really a flood that has flooded the Dragon King Temple. It seems that there is indeed God's will in the dark. Li Lvyan couldn't help but feel very strange when he saw Black Glasses asking himself a question but not taking the initiative to answer it.
, but when he looked at the corpses, he knew that these two corpses were completely dead, and immediately he was not so afraid.
"Corporal Grasshopper, I have discovered that you are dishonest," Wo Gua said.
Li Luyi said, "Why am I being dishonest?"
"Didn't you say that you followed your master to rob tombs in an honest way? Why are you now doing forensic work?"
Li Lvyan said helplessly, "That's not tomb robbing, it's to study the historical activities of ancient human society based on the material data left behind by ancient humans through various activities."
"Come on, one is funded, and the other is working independently. Isn't this the essential difference?"
Li Lvyan was furious and muttered, "I minored in medicine in college."
Black Glasses coughed, "These two corpses have rotted like this. What happened here has nothing to do with them, but what is more worthy of consideration now is why there are two modern human corpses hidden in the tomb of Liu Jing of the Han Dynasty, and
——”
Moreover, this is actually the first time that the nail has been hammered into the coffin. Now it seems that we really need to think carefully about what Wo Gua said, because only time travel can explain this situation clearly.
Wo Gua said carelessly, "Why are you so cowardly? Since we know that these two corpses will not cause any actual harm, why should we be polite to him?" As he said this, he stretched out his hand to touch the corpses, which scared Li Lvyan.
"They are wearing modern clothes. Wherever there are antiques, you won't even let them go!"
"What do you know? If they are really the first to travel to the past in history, I have to find evidence to convince you two."
Wo Gua didn't care. He dug around on the man in the jacket for a while and found nothing. Then he ran over to the man in the windbreaker and rubbed it, but he still didn't seem to find anything.
, couldn’t help but feel a little discouraged.
Black Glasses observed it for a moment, then suddenly held the inside of the windbreaker that Wo Gua had just missed with his right hand, folded his index finger and thumb together and rubbed it, and said with a slight curl of the corner of his mouth, "I found it."
Um?
Li Lvyan and Wo Gua, who originally thought there was nothing on this person, immediately gathered around him. He pulled his black glasses slightly with one hand and a black and white photo fell out of his windbreaker. Wo Gua laughed "hehe" and picked up the photo.
The photo said triumphantly, "Look, this commander has the foresight."
But when Wo Gua saw the photo first, the smile on his face suddenly froze.
Seeing the strange look on Wo Gua's face, Black Glasses and Li Lvyan took the photo and looked at it, but saw that it was an ugly photo that was almost peeling off. But what a coincidence, there were several people standing in the photo.
His face can still be barely seen clearly.
There are a total of seven people in the photo, not standing in a row, but in two rows. The three people in the front look energetic, with an average age of about thirty-five. They are wearing neat coats. There is nothing special about them.
Although they were smiling, their faces gave off an extremely serious feeling. Since they were standing in the front row when the photo was taken, it means that the status of these three people in this group is higher than those in the back row.
What was strange was that there were four people at the back, one of whom was wearing a camouflage windbreaker and the other was wearing a jacket. Li Lvyan looked back at the two coffins that had just been opened. Those two people must be them.
And sure enough, judging from the faces and ages of the two people, they were not much different from what Li Lvyan had just guessed. The four people behind were more like bodyguards in a team than taking photos. They were unsmiling and had a chilling air.
Like a soldier who has experienced a hail of bullets.
The three in front were at least smiling, while the four in the back were unsmiling and staring coldly at the camera.
This photo is full of contradictions, and the background behind it is also very strange. It seems to be the yard of a wealthy family, because the picture has no color, but the spaciousness and decoration of the yard still indicate the wealth of that family.
Li Lvyan and Black Glasses looked at it for a long time but didn't see anything. Nawogua just glanced at it. How could he be so scared?
But seeing Wo Gua hugging his knees and shivering in the corner, seemingly frightened, Li Lvyan patted Wo Gua on the shoulder, "I said Wo Gua, aren't you known as the handsome coach? The coach only has so much courage and is so timid.
Is this like this? Just now you were not afraid to open the coffin, and you were even less afraid to think about the dead person’s things. Now you are afraid after looking at the photo.
If you do this, you will have no future, and on behalf of all the young pioneers across the country, I despise you."
Wo Gua raised his head, his face pale, "The man in the middle of the first row of that photo -"
Hearing what Wogua said, Li Lvyan took the photo and looked at it. He was a slightly wealthy man. He was dressed like a wealthy businessman. Why did his facial bones look familiar?
Wo Gua trembled, "That's my dad."
What?
Not to mention Li Lvyan, even Black Glasses couldn't help but move when he heard Wo Gua's words. Black Glasses quickly took out the map he got initially, "The map you gave me before is
Did he draw it?"
Wo Gua swallowed, "That's because I was afraid that you would not keep your word, so I traced it myself based on the real map. The real map is still in the toilet water tank of the hotel I rented."
It turns out that the map that Black Glasses has been looking at was obtained from Wo Gua. Wo Gua was willing to provide Black Glasses with the map and followed Black Glasses all the way here. There must be something that fell into Black Glasses' hands.
Thinking of this, Li Lvyan was full of curiosity about the encounter between the two people.
Wo Gua looked like a fat chef in a restaurant who would steal a bite while holding a spoon. How could he possibly meet someone like Black Glasses? It turned out to be because of the map in Wo Gua's father's hand.
When I took another look at the man at this time, I saw that his facial features were very similar to Wo Gua's. Although Wo Gua was oversized, there was no doubt that Wo Gua was really not bragging this time.
Seeing that Wogua was afraid of turning into such a bird, Li Lvyan said with relief, "This photo was taken in a yard. The fact that these two people died here does not necessarily mean that your father also came to this tomb."
Wo Gua raised his head, "But my dad has been dead for thirty years. I have only seen his photos and never met him. Tell me, if he is really still alive, how could he not come back to see me?"
Li Lvyan finally understood Wo Gua's strange behavior. It turned out that there was such a deep-seated reason behind all this. He couldn't help but look at the photo again, but the first one from the left in the first row looked slightly...
When looking at a man with an elegant air, I can't help but feel a familiar feeling of closeness in my heart.
Strange, have I seen this person somewhere before?
Black Glasses suddenly said, "The strangeness of this photo can be studied slowly after we go out, but the most important thing right now is that we are trapped here, and what is even weirder is that since this man is indeed Jin Yuanbao's father and the third son of
How could the person from ten years ago, the person who was also photographed behind him, appear in a coffin from the Han Dynasty? And more importantly, the nails in the coffin were definitely driven in only once and were never pulled out again.
I can’t figure out these problems, even if I know the true identity of everyone in this photo, it won’t help.”
True identity?
Li Lvyan glanced at Black Glasses strangely: except for Wo Gua who took the initiative to say that one of them was his father, Black Glasses was a little surprised. Everything else in this extremely weird photo seemed a little strange.
The calmness, did the black glasses know something, but didn't say it?
Black Glasses knew that Li Lvyan's inquiring eyes were on him, so he did not explain. He still inquired about the situation more carefully. The anxiety hidden in his heart was reflected in Black Glasses' actions. It was impossible to repeat the masochistic behavior.
The mystery solved.
At this moment, Wo Gua also recovered from the excessive blow just now. Seeing the condition of the black glasses, he couldn't help but said to Li Lvyi, "Corporal Grasshopper, have you discovered something but not said anything?"
Li Lvyan nodded, "There must be a lot of things hidden in these black glasses that haven't been told to us. I had to act a little bit when I saw this photo unexpectedly."
"Acting?" Wo Gua's eyes widened, "Do you think it was an accident that I found this photo? The black glasses knew a lot of things at the first sight of the photo, but they didn't tell us that everything was just pretending to us.
Did you see it?"
Li Lvyan affirmed, "When he said 'true identity', I became very suspicious. The photo was strange and true, but except for you who knew what your father looked like, we didn't know the names of the other people at the scene."
Who, why did he just say that the people in the photo have their true identities?"
Wo Gua patted his thigh, "Yeah, why didn't I notice it just now? Those black glasses are really hidden."
Is it something hidden, or is there another evil intention?
Li Lvyan frowned and began to think about every move, word and deed of Black Glasses just now, only to find that Black Glasses is indeed an extremely careful person. If he hadn't found a loophole in that sentence, I'm afraid he wouldn't even know this.
Being unable to detect it also made Li Lvyan want to find faults, but he couldn't find the fault at all.
Wo Gua said, "Speaking of which, the three of us are now tied to life and death. You can't just hide and say nothing just because these black glasses are suspicious. Food and water resources are limited. If we do this on purpose, we will end up dead."
They will just perish together."
Wo Gua's words were rough. Li Lvyan took a deep breath and stuffed the photo into his pocket without any trace. Seeing the calm light in Li Lvyan's eyes through his black glasses, he knew that he had made a discovery. He immediately
He looked up at Li Lvyan.
Li Lvyan, who was originally prepared to express his reasoning very forcefully, couldn't help but feel soft when he saw Black Glasses's gesture of asking for help, and then he started to look down upon himself.
Bah, what are you asking for help? Those black glasses are definitely not good people, and they were still lying to us just now.
Don't be fooled by illusions.
"The windbreaker originated in World War I. The military coats on the Western battlefield were called 'trench coats.' The First World War originated in August 1914. After that, windbreakers began to become popular, and the real
It will take a few years for you to invest in the clothes you wear in your daily life.”
Wogua and Black Glasses looked at Li Lvyan blankly, "Corporal Grasshopper, what are you talking about? This grave robber is not here to hold a fashion exhibition for you. Your special hobby can be displayed on the website in the dead of night.
, these brothers are waiting to go out and do serious things."
Li Luyi raised his eyebrows and said, "Marshal Wo Gua, when you take a multiple-choice question and don't know the correct answer, what do you do?"
Wo Gua thought for a while with a frown on his face, "I will not do it, and then hand in the paper in advance, and finally let the person who submits the paper be a fool, let him eat his shit."
Li Lvyan looked at the black glasses and asked, "What about you?"
Black Glasses calmly said, "If there must be a correct answer here, and the others are all wrong, when I don't know the correct answer, I will use the elimination method."
"Correct answer."
Li Lvyan sighed at Wogua, "There are many possibilities before us now, but there must be a solution. Otherwise, why is there not a single body here? And they went out, and we are still here? This
It’s because we don’t have the right answer yet, and we don’t even have the wrong answer in front of us.”
Black glasses looked at Li Lvyan strangely, "How did you know someone was out?"
Li Lvyan's eyes darkened, he looked at the black glasses and smiled slightly, "It seems you know."
Black Glasses crossed his arms, raised his head slightly, looked at Li Lvyan, and gave an indifferent smile, "I don't know."
Seeing that Black Glasses refused to tell the truth even at this time, Li Lvyan gritted his teeth, but still said truthfully, "In the photo just now, I don't know if the three people in the front row have all come in, but the four people behind must be
They came in together, because from my observation, those four people should be bodyguards similar to mercenaries."
Wo Gua scratched his head, "You can accurately determine their age, but can you tell the cause of their death?"
Li Lvyan shook his head, "There are no traces of blunt force blows on the skull. The bones are normal and have no discoloration. It is not a physical or chemical death, but a natural death. But if you want to ask me how I died, there is no laboratory test. I still
I really don’t know. After all, I was a dabbler in medicine back then. However, these people’s bones are very developed, including calf bones, sternums, etc., and everything is in line with the characteristics of personnel who have been trained at high intensity for many years, so I judge that they are either military personnel,
Or they are mercenaries." Li Lvyan raised his head and took another look at his black glasses. His expression was as usual, and he couldn't see anything wrong.
"Then it doesn't make sense. When it comes to life and death, everyone wants to survive. Why were his two companions left behind when they escaped? That's not right. You still haven't explained it. You
What happened to the raincoat I just mentioned?"
The black glasses suddenly showed a hint of understanding, and said lightly, "Don't you understand? Wind and raincoats were only popularized in the British army after the First World War, while in China, the 'windbreaker' only appeared in the 1930s.
Clothes, that speaks for itself.”
Wo Gua still looked confused. Black Glasses and Li Lvyan said in unison, "This means that the time travel you just mentioned is impossible."
Um?
The two looked at each other, and Li Lvyan pursed his lips, "This is the method of elimination. Eliminate all the answers that can be thought of now, one by one, eliminate all the impossibilities, and the remaining one, no matter how incredible it is,
, that’s also true.”
Wo Gua blinked his eyes, "I'm not making baseless remarks. You have also seen the traces of the coffin nails being pulled out and then nailed down again. People of the 20th century were lying in coffins made in the Han Dynasty.
No matter how you look at it, it will make people think like that.”
"This just confirms what I just said," he looked at Wo Gua and said with certainty, "Apart from these two people, there is definitely a third or even more people who have come to this tomb."
At this time, Black Glasses finally understood what Li Lvyan meant. He looked at Li Lvyan with a somewhat complicated expression but with admiration, "You mean, this coffin nail was not there at all. These two people were there at the beginning."
After he died, he was put into this coffin by his companions and nailed with coffin nails, but the original two coffins were not nailed at all?"
Children can be taught.
At this time, Wo Gua slapped his forehead and couldn't help but said, "Damn it, why didn't I think of that? It seems that there must be more than one person who came in with these two ghosts before. Otherwise, how could these two people sleep here peacefully?"
Datoujue, I am really smart as hell." Seeing Wogua's happy expression again, Li Lvyan shook his head.
But it is not enough to clarify this problem. The more critical question is, since these two corpses were left by the group that came before them, what is the purpose of the two coffins that were originally placed here? What were the contents of the coffins before?
Is there a corpse? And if there is a corpse, why is it not seen here? If not, why are these two coffins placed here so strangely?
Wo Gua knew that this matter was not something he could think about with his intelligence, but he still cautiously said, "Well, I think that instead of thinking about who is the unscrupulous person who did this to this coffin, it is better to consider this matter as a whole.
