"Chen Yuankai was invited by Qi Xiangzhou as an expert, and he brought four students with him. Zhou Zheng is in his second year of graduate school, Wu Mengyao is one year above him, Fang Nuo and Yang Anning are one year below him. There is also Luo Erdan.
, was hired temporarily and was responsible for cooking and some chores. Except for him, everyone else lives here. Among these people, Wu Mengyao is worth mentioning." Lu Wuchuan said, "Duanmo learned from Fang Nuo that Wu Mengyao was in Zhou Zheng
Even though she has a girlfriend, she is still very close to him, and it shows clearly. In the past few days, she has been staying in the room to rest due to physical discomfort. However, during this period, her diet was normal, and every meal was served by Fang Nuo
Take it back to her."
"Can Xiaogangpao speak accurately with that mouth?" Lu Dongming first raised the question.
Jiang Muyang looked over and asked, "Who is the little steel cannon?"
"I would like to add something about Wu Mengyao," Duanmo said, "She was a little depressed and her face wasn't very good, but she didn't look like she couldn't go out. I went to find Fang Nuo in the morning and saw that the job she brought back yesterday was still there.
Confiscated, there is basically no food left. I looked at it last night, and the amount of food is quite a lot for a girl."
"This is a bit strange." Yan Yishuai touched his chin and said, "You are such a good person, why can't you hide out of the house? Because of Zhou Zheng's death?"
"I didn't finish what I just said," Lu Wuchuan said, "I asked Chen Yuankai this morning, and he said that Wu Mengyao told him that she was not feeling well and wanted to go back to the camp to rest on the day before Zhou Zheng died, that is, on the afternoon of April 2nd.
Someone came over at that time, so I didn’t continue to ask.”
"So, the reason why Wu Mengyao stayed behind closed doors was not because of Zhou Zheng's death?" Duan Mo asked in shock.
"At least not entirely." Lu Wuchuan said, "What did Fang Nuo tell you?"
"...Well, she only said that Wu Mengyao has been feeling unwell for the past few days. She didn't say the specific time, and I didn't ask." Duanmo brushed his forehead and sighed, "It was my preconception that I automatically thought it was her since Zhou Zheng's death.
That’s all.”
In the process of case investigation, even if it is a seemingly small detail, the accuracy of its time node is crucial. This point was emphasized by the teacher in school. Sometimes, maybe it is because of an inconspicuous detail that the case is solved.
If the time is wrong, it will lead to the wrong direction of the entire investigation.
Yan Yishuai waved his hand: "The investigation has not officially started yet. This is not a big problem."
Jiang Muyang smiled and said: "The handsome guy is right, elementary school girl, you don't need to take it too seriously."
"That's right, it's just a casual chat, not a formal inquiry. It's good that you can find out these things from the side." Lu Dongming comforted him, and suddenly the topic changed, "Besides, Xiaogangpao's words are not necessarily true.
That’s right, investigation and evidence collection don’t just depend on one person.”
Lu Wuchuan did not express his opinion on this matter, but said: "Baozi will go up the mountain in a while and continue to investigate the crime scene. Marshal, Dong Ming, you two will follow. The three of us will question the archaeological team one by one.
, Duanmo, you take notes."
After the work was assigned, Bao Sheng went back to get the survey box, and left with Yan Yishuai and Lu Dongming.
The questioning started with Qi Xiangzhou. He seemed to be ready for a long conversation. He was holding a thermos cup in his hand when he entered the room.
After he sat down, Lu Wuchuan asked: "Professor Qi, I have a question. Shouldn't all archaeological sites be equipped with monitoring systems? Why don't you have one?"
"In principle, it should be there." Qi Xiangzhou pushed up his glasses with his index finger and said, "But in fact, the monitoring system will not necessarily be in place immediately as the excavation work begins. The current excavation work of Tianjianshan Ancient Tomb
It's still in its infancy, so we just shoot some videos as data during the work. When the excavation reaches a certain level, we will set up monitoring equipment. Funds are tight, so it would be nice to save a little."
"Didn't it mean that provincial and municipal leaders attached great importance to the Tianjianshan Ancient Tombs, and the media even reported on it? Why are funds still tight?" Jiang Muyang asked.
"That's true, but after all, we can only confirm that this is an ancient tomb. As for what period it is from, whose tomb it is, and what historical value it has, it's hard to say." Qi Xiangzhou smiled mockingly, "If this is confirmed one day in the future,
It’s a thousand-year-old tomb, let alone monitoring it, the armed police force has to be sent in.”
"Besides the members of your archaeological team, who else is at the scene?" Lu Wuchuan changed the subject.
"Currently, there are only migrant workers hired from the local area," Qi Xiangzhou said. "Archaeological excavations are basically like this. Most of the early excavations were done by migrant workers. But there were only a few people in the backing village, and they were not willing to come. Later, they still
Director Luo found six people, so our progress is so slow."
Lu Wuchuan nodded, indicating that he understood, and then asked: "How do Zhou Zheng get along with his colleagues in the archaeological team and these migrant workers?"
"It's not bad." Qi Xiangzhou said with certainty, "Archaeological excavation work is not like what the outside world imagines. Open the ancient tomb, take out the things inside, and then take it back for research. In fact, real archaeological work is very difficult and boring. In
Under these conditions, everyone enjoys the hard work and talks and brags after work, so the relationship is still very harmonious."
Lu Wuchuan asked a few more questions, and Qi Xiangzhou gave a long list of answers, but they were basically of no value.
The second person to be questioned was Chen Yuankai. His face looked a little haggard, and the dark circles under his eyes were obvious. It looked like he had not rested well.
Lu Wuchuan asked him to introduce Zhou Zheng's specific situation. He sighed first and said that when Zhou Zheng was a sophomore, he was the teacher of their class "Field Archeology". Zhou Zheng was very studious and listened carefully in class.
They often asked questions after class. In this way, they gradually became familiar with each other.
When Zhou Zheng was an undergraduate student, he participated in archaeological projects with Chen Yuankai, and after becoming his graduate student, he followed him in every project.
Zhou Zheng's family is in another province. Both his parents are senior technicians at a biological research institute. The family situation is good. He has a cheerful personality and is generous in dealing with others. Whether it is his teachers, classmates or colleagues who participated in the project, they all have a good impression of him.
Speaking of this, Chen Yuankai sighed again: "Zhou Zheng is quite enthusiastic about archeology, which is very important. Some students only choose the archeology major based on temporary interest, but after four years of university, especially after internship, this
The temporary interest has been wiped out to the point where there is almost nothing left. There are not many people who can persevere and maintain their enthusiasm. Originally, I planned to take care of him, but who would have thought that something like this would happen..."
