Chen Yuankai opened the door and came in: "It's a call from Zhou Zheng's father. Captain Lu, can I go to the Qinghe City Public Security Bureau? Zhou Zheng's parents have already arrived in Liancheng and are preparing to go to Qinghe."
"Are they at Liancheng Airport now?" Lu Wuchuan asked.
"I just got off the plane." Chen Yuankai said sincerely, "Captain Lu, after all, I am Zhou Zheng's teacher, and it was I who brought him out this time. Due to circumstances, I should also meet his parents. And Xiang
Zhou, after all, he is also the leader of this team."
"It just so happens that we have to go to Qinghe City Bureau. I can take you there by the way." Lu Wuchuan looked at his watch and said, "We will leave in ten minutes, okay?"
"Okay." Chen Yuankai nodded, "I'll inform Xiang Zhou and wait for you in the courtyard."
After he went out, Duan Mo raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Wuchuan: "Go to Qinghe City Bureau, meet Zhou Zheng's parents, and see the corpse together. Is this a good time as you said?"
Lu Wuchuan's lips curled up slightly: "Sometimes he doesn't seem so stupid."
"What do you mean sometimes? I've always been smart, okay!" Duan Mo curled her lips.
Jiang Muyang was confused: "What did you say?"
"We are going to Qinghe, and you stay to look after the family." Lu Wuchuan said, "If we need an autopsy, we won't be back tonight. I will tell you in advance then."
"Ah? Do we really need to do another autopsy? Why am I staying? I want to go too," Jiang Muyang said.
"Are you the Hundred Thousand Why?" Lu Wuchuan chuckled, "The Marshal and the others haven't come back yet, do you think it's appropriate for us all to leave?"
Jiang Muyang replied quietly: "Oh, it seems not appropriate."
Lu Wuchuan gave some instructions, and then he and Duanmo went back to their rooms to get their belongings. When they came down, Chen Yuankai and Qi Xiangzhou were already waiting in the yard.
As we approached the center of the village, we could see several elderly people chatting and sunbathing in the distance.
Chen Yuankai pulled Lu Wuchuan's arm, lowered his voice and said, "Go this way, don't look over there."
The four of them turned a corner and went around the path on the other side until they were far away. Duanmo asked: "Professor Chen, why are you avoiding them?"
Before Chen Yuankai could speak, Qi Xiangzhou snorted coldly: "Those old men opposed the excavation of ancient tombs. They blocked the way before we entered the village, and it was Director Luo who helped persuade us to leave. When we passed through the village, we always avoided them.
."
"Why are you opposed?" Duan Mo didn't understand what the relationship between this ancient tomb and the villagers was. Luo Genfa, the village director of Kaoshan Village, had said before that they didn't even know there was an ancient tomb in Tianjian Mountain.
Chen Yuankai sighed: "They said that the ancestors of Kaoshan Village have lived here for generations, and those buried on this mountain must be their ancestors. If their ancestral graves are dug, future generations will suffer retribution."
Lu Wuchuan said: "Didn't I say that the real Xuanyuan tomb was found? If it is true as they said, wouldn't all the descendants of Yan and Huang have to suffer retribution?"
When the Xuanyuan Tomb was mentioned, Qi Xiangzhou immediately became interested: "At the beginning of this year, a stone tomb was discovered among the tombs at a site. It was dug out of the mountain. Inside the tomb was a giant sarcophagus made of long stones.
After opening the coffin, a large number of exquisite jades were found inside. The most special thing is that the owner of the tomb held a jade turtle in each hand. According to many evidences, the owner of the tomb is probably Emperor Xuanyuan."
"Why is the Jade Turtle holding the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan?" Duanmo asked curiously.
Qi Xiangzhou explained: "Of course we can't just rely on two jade turtles. The tomb also unearthed a bear dragon, a jade article with two bear heads, and fragments of a clay bear. It is recorded in Baihu Tongyi that the Yellow Emperor ruled the world and called it a bear. It is also recorded in the Historical Records
It is said that the Yellow Emperor had King Xiong, the son of Shaodian. The Yellow Emperor's original surname was Gongsun, and later he changed his surname to Ji, so he was called Ji Xuanyuan. Living on the hill of Xuanyuan, there was a bear in the building, also known as the Xiong family. Historical records record that Xuanyuan is the Tianyuan, and the sky
The turtle is the divine turtle, which later transformed into a dragon and is the totem of the Xuanyuan tribe. The only person who could hold the twin turtles for burial was none other than the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan."
"Those in historical data are just legends and cannot be used as scientific basis." Chen Yuankai expressed disapproval of his views.
Qi Xiangzhou retorted: "The legend is not groundless."
Chen Yuankai laughed: "There is also a legend that the Yellow Emperor cast a tripod in Jingshan Mountain. After building the first tripod, a flying dragon suddenly descended from the sky, and the Yellow Emperor ascended on the dragon. Since they all ascended, where did the corpse come from?"
"That's a myth you're talking about. There's a difference between legend and myth."
"Whether it is a myth or a legend, there is always controversy, so don't say it with certainty..."
Until they got in the car, the two of them were still arguing about everything from Xuanyuan's tomb to various controversies in the archaeological community.
Duan Mo and Lu Wuchuan looked at each other, and both saw helplessness in each other's eyes. Scholars and experts discussed academic issues, and even though they were noisy, they couldn't shut up.
Although the road leading to the outside of Kaoshan Village is difficult, one good thing is that there are no forked roads. No matter how winding it is, as long as you keep following this road, you can get out of the mountain.
Just as he was about to drive onto the provincial highway, Lu Wuchuan's cell phone rang.
Duan Mo quickly turned around and made a motion to silence the two people who were still discussing in the back seat, pointed at the Bluetooth headset on Lu Wuchuan's ear, and made a gesture to make a phone call, which silenced them both.
The call was from Wu Zhengping. He said that Zhou Zheng's parents were rushing to Qinghe City and would arrive in another hour.
Lu Wuchuan told him that he was also on his way to Qinghe City Bureau, and he was accompanied by two professors from the archaeological team.
It was lunch break when we arrived at the Qinghe City Public Security Bureau, and Zhou Zheng's parents hadn't arrived yet. Wu Zhengping took the four of them to the cafeteria and had a simple working meal.
After eating and waiting for a while, Zhou Zheng's parents finally arrived after a long journey. The couple were both dressed in formal clothes. Zhou's father had a coat on his left arm and held Zhou's mother in his right hand.
Both of them looked haggard. When they entered the conference room and saw Chen Yuankai, Zhou's mother finally couldn't help but shed tears: "Professor Chen, what is going on? How could Xiao Zheng..." She
My voice was choked with sobs and I couldn't continue speaking halfway through.
Chen Yuankai pursed his lips and said, "Mr. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, I'm very sad that this happened."
Father Zhou patted his wife's arm: "Don't get excited. We've already arrived at the police station. If you have anything to say, please speak slowly."
Wu Zhengping took a step forward and explained his identity, and introduced the others present. He pointed to the chairs and said, "You two, please sit down and take a rest."
"No need," Zhou's father waved his hand, "We want to see...the child first."
"This..." Wu Zhengping glanced at Zhou's mother worriedly, "Do you think we should wait until Mrs. Zhou's mood stabilizes before we go there?"
"I'm fine." Mother Zhou took a deep breath and wiped the corners of her eyes, "Please take us there now."
