Chapter 228 - Chapter 228: Chapter 174: Increase the Severity of the Crime? (5000-Word Chapter)_3 (2/2)

Meanwhile,

Sisi stood motionless on the spot.

Outside the side chamber, she looked at the two suspected tomb raider victims inside, her mind awash with ripples.

No, not ripples.

A towering wave!

She had already imagined an entire epic novel in her mind.

Three tomb raiders, entering the tomb of King Lushang, and then one of them, wishing to hoard the treasures, conceived a deadly plan and killed the other two.

After leaving the tomb, he even recorded his crimes in the form of a novel.

This person could very well be…

Lin Chuan!

As an archaeological worker, Qin wasn’t a criminal investigator and did not know how to examine a crime scene, but by all logic, it was pretty much Lin Chuan!

A normal person would come to the conclusion it was Lin Chuan!

So, in Sisi’s judgment, Lin Chuan wasn’t just guilty of tomb robbing; he’d also been implicated in a murder!

Hiss!

Tomb robbing, murder.

A crime on top of another!

How much trouble could this bring about?

At least enough to start a hornet’s nest!

She had thought this was just an archaeological mission, but things had taken an unexpected turn—as the tomb’s underground palace had turned into a crime scene.

And all clues were pointing to Lin Chuan.

At least for now, Lin Chuan was a prime suspect!

Sisi stood there, dumbstruck, her mind racing with wild thoughts.

“Qin, what’s wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?” Old Yao looked at Sisi and, noting her pale complexion and bloodless lips, asked with concern.

“Ah, I’m fine,” Sisi snapped back to reality and replied.

At this time, her heart was torn!

Should she come clean to Old Yao right away about this?

To directly explain that she saw almost the exact details in Lin Chuan’s novel.

As for the case of the two tomb robbers, she’d leave it to the police to investigate.

“The smell earlier got to you; you should step back and breathe some oxygen, and you’ll be fine. Let’s let the police handle this; we need to take a look at those stone coffins,” Old Yao suggested.

“Stone coffins…” Sisi murmured.

“Yes, we will have a hard time moving these stone coffins, so I intend to open them here and see what’s inside,” Old Yao declared.

“Open them here?”

Sisi’s brow furrowed, “We cannot open them!”

“Why not?” Old Yao’s brow also furrowed.

“Those seven stone coffins might be very dangerous!” Sisi immediately said.

“Is there some mystery about these seven stone coffins?” Old Yao asked in a tight frown, looking puzzled.
