Neither Song Jiang nor Meng Zhe expected that Shi Lei would call the two of them over at night to see a mummy with a very ferocious expression. Moreover, according to Shi Lei, this mummy had just died...

Faced with Song Jiang's questioning, Shi Lei said helplessly, "We thought it was a case of hiding a corpse in a rental house at first, but according to the person who reported the case, the landlord Lu Fangfang, she didn't see it for only two or three days.

The deceased Wu Laoliu... Later, we obtained surveillance from a supermarket at the entrance of the alley, and it was confirmed that the deceased Wu Laoliu had gone to buy a pack of cigarettes two nights ago. With the current climate in the north, it would take at most two days for the deceased to buy a pack of cigarettes.

The body rots, but it is impossible to turn it into a mummy."

After hearing this, Meng Zhe came to the mummy. Although he looked disgusted, he finally pointed his finger at the mummy. Then a wave of air spread all over the mummy's body, and then he said in a deep voice, "This person

It should have been sucked dry..."

"What do you mean sucking someone alive?" Shi Lei asked in surprise.

"It's because some kind of evil thing sucked away the essence, soul, and all the blood and water all over the body, and finally it became the current state... The evil thing may be alive, or it may be some object.

But it must be something from some vintage." Meng Zhe explained.

When Shi Lei heard this, he quickly flipped through the case file at hand and said, "But the colleagues who went to the scene to investigate didn't find anything special in the house rented by Wu Laoliu?"

Song Jiang thought for a moment and asked, "Who is this Wu Laoliu? Have you investigated his social connections?"

After hearing this, Shi Lei nodded and said, "Wu Laoliu is a foreigner who has been doing some casual work near Niujiatun. Before the incident, he was responsible for clearing earthwork at an archaeological site. According to the contractor, he only worked at the construction site for one day and died.

If I go again, I won’t even get paid.”

After hearing this, Song Jiang and Meng Zhe looked at each other, and then quickly asked Shi Lei, "Which archaeological site?"

Shi Lei smiled and said, "Who else could it be? Of course it's the one next to Ninth Middle School! Isn't it trending every day in the past two days..."

After hearing this, Song Jiang said with a heavy face, "We were just trying to talk to you and the forging team about this matter. It's best not to continue digging that ancient tomb..."

When Shi Lei heard this, he said in a funny voice, "What are you thinking about? You really think that our police are omnipotent? Archaeological matters are not our business."

After hearing this, Song Jiang curled his lips and said, "Oh... I thought your police could control everything? But what if that ancient tomb was related to Wu Laoliu's death? Your police could always ask the archaeological team to stop digging, right?"

"

Shi Lei thought about it seriously, then shook his head and said, "No... First of all, there is no direct evidence to prove that there is any connection between the two. It can't be because he went to the archaeological team and became a mummy, right? Besides, other workers are not

Is he also fine? Why did something happen to him? This is logically impossible. Secondly, even if you find the connection between the two,

As Brother Meng just said, he was killed by some evil thing, and this evil thing is probably related to the ancient tomb, but how do you want me to report it to my superiors? What reasons should my superiors use?

What about asking the archaeological team to stop working? There are only two consequences of doing so, either my superiors will treat me as a lunatic, or the archaeological team members will treat my superiors as a lunatic."

Seeing that Shi Lei refused to agree to anything, Song Jiang could only sigh, "We have already said what needs to be said, how about you discuss it with the forging team...? This matter is big or small, Wu Laoliu is dead now

I don’t know why, but if you, the police, don’t find a way to stop the archaeological team from working, it’s very likely that more than one Wu Laoliu will die.”

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Shi Lei suddenly received a call from Duan Feng, saying that a scavenger found a male corpse in a small forest near Niujiatun. The death condition was almost exactly the same as that of Wu Laoliu, which made Shi Lei

Go to the scene quickly... Shi Lei didn't expect Song Jiang's words to come true so quickly. In desperation, he had to bring the two of them to the crime scene.

When Duan Feng saw that Shi Lei actually brought Song Jiang and Meng Zhe over, he knew that this case was far from simple, so he didn't say anything more and directly brought them to the corpse... and saw that it was half kneeling on the ground.

The mummified body was raised high with hands as dry as eagle talons, looking up at the sky, with protruding eyes and a wide mouth. The expression was exactly the same as when Wu Laoliu died.

At this time, Duan Feng briefly introduced the case to the three of them, "Just now, a scavenger called the police and reported that he found a body while passing by this forest. He said that he saw this person kneeling here in the morning, but because it was

My back was turned to him, so I didn't see the man's condition clearly at the time. When I came back at night, I found that the man was still there, so I wanted to walk over to see what was going on, and then I found that the man was already like this."

After hearing this, Song Jiang looked around and saw an old man holding a torn sack talking to a police officer. So Song Jiang looked at Duan Feng and said, "Is that the old man who discovered it?"

Duan Feng nodded and said, "Well, I've already asked, there shouldn't be anything suspicious..."

After several people returned to the police station, police officer Xiao Ding brought the personal information of the deceased Chen Gaoshan. The situation was basically the same as that of Wu Laoliu. They were all doing casual labor in the city and went wherever there was work.

However, one thing worth considering is that he also worked on the archaeological team for two days before his death...

Song Jiang then looked at Shi Lei and said, "Look, I just said there won't be only one victim. Again, let the archaeological team stop first. The ancient tomb is there. The tomb will be excavated one day early and one day late."

They won’t run away on their own, but if we rush to open the grave before figuring out the real cause of death of Wu Laoliu and that guy just now, the consequences may be serious.”

Duan Feng was silent for a while and then said, "I will try to communicate with the archaeological team about this first. Two workers died tragically in succession. If I say that this matter has nothing to do with the archaeological team, I guess no one will believe it.

Now that the situation has not worsened, it is right for them to stop work and investigate first, otherwise once it spreads to the Internet, it will be very difficult to stop work and investigate at that time."

When it comes to work, Duan Feng is indeed much better than Shi Lei. After weighing the pros and cons, the archaeological team finally agreed to temporarily suspend work for a few days. The reason given to the outside world was to avoid bad weather and wait for rain and snow.

Excavation work will continue after the weather passes.

What Song Jiang and the others didn't expect was that they thought that after suspending the excavation of the ancient tomb, they could concentrate on investigating what killed Wu Laoliu and Chen Gaoshan, but instead they were killed by several tomb robbers who got wind of the matter.

The thief took advantage of the opportunity and wanted to take advantage of the pause in the archaeological team's work to take the lead in searching the tomb...
