Qi Xiangzhou nodded: "When we complete this archaeological mission, this road will become wider." He is a very talkative person and talks about history. The nearly one-hour journey is not boring at all.
The archaeological site is on a hillside. A shallow pit has been dug out, and the middle is divided into several grids of the same size. There is a isolation line around it, and a sign is erected in front of it, which reads "Do not enter the important archaeological site."
In addition to Liu Quan and Qu Hao, there are also two archaeological team members. They have different jobs, but they are both guarding the site at the moment.
Jiang Muyang raised his chin towards Yang Anning: "Classmate Yang, can you recall how you discovered...Zhou Zheng that day?"
On the way here, he had already explained the purpose of going up the mountain according to Lu Wuchuan's instructions.
Yang Anning pointed to the military green tent not far away: "When I heard that Zhou Zheng was missing that day, I was right in front of the tent."
"Professor Qi asked us to search separately. I went in that direction at that time." Yang Anning said as he led everyone up and out of the scope of the archaeological site, surrounded by grass and trees.
After walking about two to three hundred meters, an area surrounded by yellow and white warning lines appeared.
"I called Zhou Zheng's name as I walked. When I almost reached this position, I saw someone on the ground in front of me." Yang Anning stopped about one meter away from the cordon. "I took a closer look. It was Zhou Zheng. He was still wearing his headgear."
The same clothes I wore all day. I called him, "What are you doing here?" He didn't say a word. I thought he was asleep, so I went over and kicked his leg and said, "Hey, why are you sleeping here?"
He was still motionless. I knelt down and saw..."
Yang Anning swallowed hard: "I saw him with his eyes closed and a painful expression on his face. Only then did I realize something was wrong, so I called Teacher Chen. People nearby heard me calling and came over.
Some people said he was sick and needed to be rescued quickly. We turned him over and found out that he was sick. He was cold, not breathing, and had no pulse."
Qi Xiangzhou patted him on the shoulder and took over the conversation: "Professor Chen and I came here together. We quickly told them to back away and stay away from the body, and then called the police."
Yang Anning let out a long breath: "Yes, that's what happened."
Lu Wuchuan nodded: "Let's take a look at the scene. Professor Qi, you two take a rest first." He winked at Bao Sheng.
Bao Sheng didn't say anything. He carried the survey box, raised the cordon and got in. His huge body began to move slowly in the grass.
Duan Mo and Lu Dongming also followed in. This was arranged by Lu Wuchuan in advance, and they were tasked with assisting Bao Sheng in taking photos and making records.
Wu Zhengping said: "When I received the call and rushed over, the body was face up as they said. The surrounding bushes and grass had traces of being crushed, and it could be seen that the body had been turned over. And there were people at the time.
Looking around, the footprints at the scene were messy and difficult to identify."
Lu Wuchuan glanced at Qi Xiangzhou and Yang Anning, who were sitting on rocks a few meters away from the cordon, and said in a low voice: "As the professor said, the provincial and municipal leaders attach great importance to archeology this time. If they keep delaying,
It’s unreasonable for people to start work.”
Wu Zhengping frowned: "Lijun, the place of death of the deceased is quite special. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to just conclude the case with sudden death, right?"
"That's not what I meant." Lu Wuchuan said, "The case must be investigated, but there is no need to stop work all the time."
Wu Zhengping seemed to be relieved: "Once the construction starts, it will not only be the archaeological team, but also the migrant workers hired to help temporarily. The personnel is too complicated. If the murderer is among them, it will be difficult to control."
Yan Yishuai put his empty fist to his mouth and coughed twice: "Let me interrupt, it's very easy to escape in that shabby yard. Once you enter the mountain, even the people from the camp can't be found."
"That's true, but our police force is limited after all." Wu Zhengping said in embarrassment.
Bao Sheng stood up in the cordon, turned around and said, "Team Lu, you can come in."
Lu Wuchuan swallowed what he said and glanced at Wu Zhengping: "We'll talk about it later."
Three people from the special case team outside entered the cordon and continued searching from the center to the periphery.
Wu Zhengping, Liu Quan, and Qu Hao didn't know what to do and could only continue to wait.
After about half an hour, the special case team stopped searching and returned to the starting point. Lu Wuchuan said to Wu Zhengping: "Evacuate the people and go down the mountain."
"What should we do at this scene?" Wu Zhengping asked. This is a mountain, not a house, so there is no way to put a seal on it. If you don't watch, who can guarantee that no one will come in?
"It's okay. If something goes wrong, I'll take care of it." Lu Wuchuan said as he walked forward.
The special case team had already intervened in the case, so naturally they had to listen to them. Wu Zhengping called Liu Quan and Qu Hao to remove the cordon.
On the way back, Qi Xiangzhou asked: "Captain Lu, have you discovered anything new?"
Lu Wuchuan shook his head: "The Qinghe police have conducted a very detailed investigation. It has been two days, how can there be any new discoveries."
"What should we do?" Qi Xiangzhou was very anxious.
Lu Wuchuan said: "Professor Qi, don't worry, I will report to the bureau tomorrow, and it is estimated that work will be resumed in a few days."
Qi Xiangzhou's brows suddenly widened: "Thank you very much, Captain Lu."
"You're welcome, it's all for work." Lu Wuchuan paused and then said, "I have to wrong you, so try not to go out these days. After all, we are assigned by the bureau to investigate the case, and we still need to make necessary inquiries.
of."
"That's no problem. As I said before, we will fully cooperate with the police investigation." Qi Xiangzhou said cheerfully, and then asked, "Then will you go back today?"
"The military team will go back and we will stay. Later I will go find Director Luo and ask him to arrange a place to stay."
"If the Army doesn't mind, they can stay in our camp. The cultural relics haven't been unearthed yet, and there are plenty of empty rooms, including camp beds and quilts."
"Then I'll trouble you, Professor Qi." Lu Wuchuan's lips curled up. He had this plan in the first place, but he didn't expect Qi Xiangzhou to bring it up first, which saves trouble.
It was almost five o'clock when we returned to the so-called camp of the archaeological team. Lu Wuchuan directly asked Wu Zhengping and the others to go back first, saying that they would contact him at any time if necessary.
Fang Zhou asked Yang Anning to inform Luo Erdan to provide food for six more people at night, and find someone to arrange accommodation and move things.
There are ten people in the archaeological team, the leader Fang Zhou, two people from the archaeological institute, two technicians, and Chen Yuankai brought four students. Fang Zhou and Chen Yuankai are in a separate room, and the others are two people in a room. Of course, now
The house where Zhou Zheng lived was empty, and Yang Anning moved to another house, also by herself.
