Lu Ming's idea was finally recognized by Li Wenhua. He temporarily approved Lu Ming's current arrangement. Or... he actually didn't have much hope for Lu Ming.
You go check it out first. If you really can't find it clearly, you should either find another team to investigate, or just list it as an unsolved case.
This matter is so bizarre that the probability of it being listed as an unsolved case should be very high. Moreover, in any case, at least at this stage, this matter does not appear to be too harmful, and it does not have much urgency.
After finishing this report, Lu Ming, who temporarily assumed the position of captain, did not directly make any arrangements. He once again began to think with all his concentration, combing through every development detail of this matter from beginning to end, trying to find someone.
Something that I either missed or neglected.
But he thought for a long time and still couldn't find any valuable clues.
He quietly looked at the sarcophagus in front of him, which was about ten meters away from him, and sighed silently.
He was wondering if he really needed to break open the sarcophagus to see what was inside.
If there was really no other way out, knocking open this sarcophagus would be the last option. But he didn't want to do it unless he had to.
In addition to causing unknown risks, doing so may also destroy the only clue, causing the case to become a complete unsolved case, with no possibility of investigating it clearly.
After all, this sarcophagus is the only real thing that exists, which can prove that there is something weird in this case.
"Perhaps... I should bring Wen Cheng here again and let him interpret the artifacts inherited from the ancient Dali cultural period collected here by the Destiny Organization."
Previously, because of the need to keep it secret and because he did not think that Dali culture played a big role in the God of Destiny incident, Lu Ming did not let Wen Cheng get involved too deeply. But now, the "breaking the sarcophagus" has been ruled out.
After the last resort, if you want to find any breakthrough, you may have to rely on Wen Cheng.
Of course, the probability of getting a breakthrough from Wen Cheng is very low, and there is basically no hope.
After contacting the Shanbei City Prison, Lu Ming successfully obtained the permit. So a few hours later, his worries were relieved, and Wen Cheng, who was much more energetic than before, was brought to Lu Ming.
In a separate office, Lu Ming and Wen Cheng started a conversation.
"There are some things in your research on Dali culture that are wrong."
After a moment of silence, Lu Ming got straight to the point and said these words.
Wen Cheng was stunned.
He did not expect that Lu Ming would actually say such words.
Okay, even if it's wrong, so what? You went through all the trouble to get me out of prison and bring me to you, just to tell me this?
Lu Ming ignored him and continued: "What the sarcophagus represents, and what the ancestors of the Dali culture worship, is not death, but destiny. The ancestors of the Dali culture used pregnant women and animals to sacrifice the sarcophagus.
, the purpose is not to 'sacrifice death with new life', but to sacrifice destiny with the fetus in the belly of a pregnant woman."
Wen Cheng was a little confused.
Lu Ming said calmly: "Now, we have found the sarcophagus."
Wen Cheng stood up suddenly, his face full of shock.
"This is impossible!" He lost his voice: "You mean, you found the sarcophagus that actually exists in the real world? How is this possible? It is just a symbol, a symbol, a totem, how can it exist?
In the real world?”
Just like some ancestors worshiped the phoenix, worshiped the sea god, and worshiped the thunder god.
How could they actually exist?
"Wen Cheng, what you are going to see next is top secret information. If you leak it, I'm afraid you will never be able to leave prison in your life."
Lu Ming placed the detailed documents of the "Doom-haunted" case in front of Wen Cheng: "If you can promise not to leak the secrets and are prepared to bear the consequences of the leaks, you can open it. Of course, as long as you participate in this mission, no matter what
No matter what the result is, we will give you at least a second-class meritorious service."
A second-class meritorious service, at worst, a sentence of a few months. This is what Wen Cheng looks forward to most. But feel the solemnity in Lu Ming's words, and the terrible consequences of leaking secrets - even if they are accidentally leaked.
, he still hesitated.
For a moment, he gritted his teeth and finally picked up the document and opened it.
Lu Ming waited for him quietly until he finished reading the document.
Wen Cheng's expression did not change, but this did not mean that his mood was so calm. Lu Ming could clearly detect that his body, including his arms, had been trembling slightly.
After a long while, he took a deep breath and slowly put down the document in his hand: "I want to see the sarcophagus."
"Can."
Lu Ming stood up and brought Wen Cheng to the sanctuary and to the sarcophagus.
At this moment, Wen Cheng's eyes suddenly burst into indescribable light. Like a vicious dog pouncing on its food, he came to the sarcophagus in a few steps, squatted down, and carefully examined everything about the sarcophagus. His hands were weak.
Touching the sarcophagus, but not daring to touch it directly, it's like an artist who sees a shocking work of art and is afraid of accidentally destroying it.
"I have seen this pattern on an unearthed jade article... I used to think that its meaning was to communicate with the 'God of Death', but now it doesn't seem to be..."
"I have always been unable to figure out why the totem that the ancestors of Dali culture regarded as the incarnation of the god of death has this shape. Now it seems that it was simplified according to the real thing..."
After seeing this sarcophagus, many of Wen Cheng's doubts seemed to have been answered.
"Sergeant Lu, you mean to say that this sarcophagus does have some mysterious power, um... the power that can affect destiny? This power does not exist in illusion, but in real terms?"
"yes."
Lu Ming directly admitted: "We have confirmed this through a lot of tests."
Wen Cheng finally understood why the confidentiality level of this incident was so high.
If this kind of thing, which is full of mysterious and strange aura, is known by the public to actually exist in the world, then I don’t know how many people’s worldview will be subverted, and I don’t know how much trouble it will cause.
He took a deep breath and barely suppressed the shock in his heart: "So, what can I do?"
"I want to know what kind of impact this sarcophagus had on the ancestors of Dali culture, and to what extent."
If the answer to this matter can be obtained, then, using the original Dali culture as a reference, we can roughly know what impact the God of Destiny's "resurrection" will have on the human world.
"Also, what secrets did the ancestors of Dali culture master about this sarcophagus?"
Wen Cheng nodded: "I'll try my best."
Lu Ming opened up his authority to Wen Cheng, allowing him to access the antiquities from the ancient Dali culture that were seized from the Destiny Organization in order to decipher the information they might contain. In order to achieve this goal, Lu Ming also used his previous research
All materials and tools have been transferred.
Wen Cheng's work is just an attempt by Lu Ming. From Lu Ming's point of view, he does not have much hope for it. He is still trying to find other ways. Unfortunately, he has not been able to find one so far.
.
Another regular meeting ended in silence among the three of them. It was already dark now, and in the night sky, the bright moon hung high and stars were dotted.
To be fair, the environment of the manor used as the home base of the Destiny Organization was quite good. On a certain path surrounded by flowers, plants and trees, Lu Ming walked slowly in the night, thinking silently.
But before today's thinking lasted long, he was awakened by a slightly complicated noise. He looked in the direction of the sound with some confusion, and not long after, he heard a burst of chaotic footsteps.
"I found it, I found it, Chief Lu is here!"
A guard rushed over first. When he saw Lu Ming's figure clearly, he immediately shouted into the communicator.
Lu Ming was shocked and immediately asked: "What happened?"
"Sergeant He said that we couldn't reach you by phone and asked us to find you immediately. Chief Lu, please come with me. Chief He is waiting for you over there."
In order to ensure that he could devote himself wholeheartedly to thinking, Lu Ming did not carry his mobile phone with him, but left it in his residence. He also did not allow the guards to follow him.
Anyway, this manor has been under strict security for a long time, so there is no need to worry about safety issues.
At this moment, after hearing the guard's words, Lu Ming immediately realized that something unexpected must have happened, so He Wei had to find him immediately.
Lu Ming did not dare to neglect, and immediately followed the guard to the place that was temporarily opened as a conference room. When he pushed the door and walked in, he saw He Wei's face was serious.
"Lu Ming, I just received a report. Twenty minutes ago, the guard guarding the sarcophagus heard a voice coming from the sarcophagus."
He Wei pressed the player, and a burst of sound came from the laptop in front of her.
Boom boom, boom boom...
It was the same as the sound coming from the sarcophagus during the sacrifice.
Lu Ming frowned: "We didn't make a sacrifice, did we?"
He Wei said solemnly: "Of course not. The sarcophagus has also been on guard 24 hours a day, and no one without permission can approach it."
This is an unexpected event, a new change, a change that no one could have predicted before.
In the past, the sarcophagus would only ring when there were sacrifices. Now, when there are no sacrifices, the sarcophagus actually starts to ring?
"Go to the scene."
"Walk."
The two people immediately got up and hurried to the sanctuary with more than 20 guards. They signaled everyone to keep quiet, and when they got closer to the sarcophagus, Lu Ming heard the banging sound.
After listening for a while, Lu Ming confirmed in his heart that its intensity was similar to that of the last sacrifice.
Lu Ming's brows wrinkled again.
To be continued...
