C1 (2/2)

However, such a short distance almost made Jiang Chao, who had the thinnest physique, somersault in the snow.

”Chief Qin, this thing is heavy to begin with. I think we should use a trailer like before. Even if we get a few more people to come, it won't be too far.” A burly man from an archaeological team suggested breathlessly.

”Then call the trailer.” Lao Qin also had no moves.

It was cold now, and the roads were slick with snow. It took hours to get there, too, after hailing a trailer.

Only when the carriage hooked onto the bronze coffin and slowly dragged it, did Jiang Chao's hands and feet go numb as he got on the carriage with Qiu Ning.

Jiang Chao looked at the bronze coffin at the back of the trailer.

”Sister Qiu, don't you feel that this coffin looks a little strange?” Jiang Chao curiously asked Qiu Ning.

”Don't worry about it. If you're scared, then don't try to be a medical examiner.” Qiu Ning said with a serious expression.

”This is the Sister Qiu that I know of.” After Jiang Chao heard this, he became somewhat embarrassed.

Ever since the first time he took part in the corpse dismembering, Jiang Chao had a feeling that he was being bitten by a snake for a long time. Honestly speaking, he had never seen an ancient corpse before.

But this time, he also mustered up enough courage. He wanted to change his fate of being a loser, a loser, diaosi.

At the Jiamusi Institute of Archaeology.

The heavy bronze coffin was placed in the mortuary.

There was an operating table and electronic testing equipment in the room.

However, compared to the provincial capital's Ha City Public Security Bureau's forensic examination room, the equipment here seemed somewhat crude.

Jiang Chao was a little perturbed. He was wearing his chemical proof clothes. This was his first time coming into contact with an ancient corpse.

According to Qiu Ning and the Lao Qin, the corpses that were brought out from the tomb chamber had corpse poison, so they were fully prepared.

”Put on the gas mask as well. After opening the coffin, Jiang Chao, you can watch from the side and make your move after you see my arrangements.” Actually, for someone as inexperienced as Jiang Chao, according to the rules, he couldn't be carried around with a knife. However, Qiu Ning was also taking care of him so that he could have a good job after graduation.

Putting on the oxygen mask, Jiang Chao watched by the side with a serious expression.

Qiu Ning then turned to Lao Qin and the others and said: ”Lao Qin, open this coffin.”

”Alright, but Professor Qiu, let me remind you first, I'm not sure if the dry ice in this coffin has melted yet. The dry ice in the coffin is made from a mixture of mercury and other liquids, and the mercury's freezing point is -39 degrees Celsius. But today, the temperature of Jiamusi is around -40 degrees Celsius, so the temperature won't rise again until tomorrow.” Lao Qin and the others were also wearing protective gear.

After Lao Qin finished explaining, Qiu Ning frowned: ”Open the coffin and take a look. If the mercury in the coffin has not melted and it's not easy to clean it up, then we can make a move after a while.”

After Lao Qin heard this, he arranged for the other members of the archaeological team to work together to pry open the bronze coffin.

When he opened the coffin's lid, it was exactly as Lao Qin had said, there was a huge block of dry ice inside the bronze coffin.

The ice formed from mercury was different from ordinary ice. After solidifying, it looked like a crystal coffin, tightly sealing the corpse within.

When Jiang Chao saw the female corpse inside the dry ice clearly, he was greatly shocked.

The female corpse had a picturesque appearance, snow-white skin, large eyes, and an oval face.

The female corpse looked to be around eighteen or nineteen years old. She wore a snow-white fairy like gown, her hair was scattered, but her black hair was above her waist. Her figure was also quite slender, and her pair of white stockings made her legs look very delicate.

The Lao Qin said that he felt that this girl had only died a day or two, but from Jiang Chao's perspective, the woman in the ice seemed to still be alive.

”Lao Qin, where did you find this female corpse? Logically speaking, no matter how advanced the technology is, it would be impossible for a corpse to be so perfectly preserved. ” Qiu Ning felt that it was the corpse of a modern man, as a woman, she was surprised at this woman's moving appearance.

”It's about a hundred kilometers away from Fuyuan Port, in the Changbai Mountains area under the jurisdiction of Sha Russia.” The Lao Qin spoke the truth.

After pausing for a moment, Lao Qin continued, ”We were invited by the Sha family to enter the ancient tomb for archaeological exploration. However, when we arrived, the tomb chamber had already been opened by the Sha family.

”In other words, it's almost impossible for the corpse in the coffin to be swapped?”

Nowadays, technology could transform a famous person's corpse, isolating it from bacteria and allowing it to be stored for 10 to 20 years.

But Qiu Ning had seen those remodelled corpses before, and she could immediately tell that they were dead.

However, the corpse in front of him seemed to be alive. The woman's skin was white and rosy, and her lips were not shriveled.

Hearing Qiu Ning's words, the Lao Qin laughed dryly: ”We were just curious about this point, so we transported the corpse back to Professor Qiu and entrusted it to you to be appraised.”
