Chapter 226: Chapter 174: Increase the Severity of the Crime? (5000-Word Chapter)

Qin Sisi turned off the chat window with Shen Qianqian, pondered for a moment, then reopened Lin Chuan’s novel.

— “Touch Gold Notes” Volume One.

She wanted to see, how the description of the tomb chamber was depicted in Lin Chuan’s novel.

‘The unusual brick wall immediately attracted our attention.’

‘Inside the brick wall was a theft-proof interlayer, all the bricks needed to be removed outward.’

‘Moreover, the wall was filled with strong acid; if broken, the acid would pour out instantly, turning a person into a blood corpse.’

‘…’

Until deep into the night.

Qin Sisi fell into a deep sleep, but even in her dreams, she was surrounded by scenes of the Seven Stars Lu King Palace tomb chamber.

Huh—

The next day, early morning.

A gentle breeze brushed across the mountains, and the mist among the mountains, like a light veil, drifted and gradually dissipated under the morning light.

The distant mountain ranges were faintly visible, their contours soft and mysterious in the morning fog, like a shy girl half-concealing, half-revealing her face.

The sound of birds and beast roars sounded by the ears of the people.

This time into the mountains, there were a total of six off-road vehicles.

The ninth Archaeological Team, the Linyi Cultural Relics Bureau, and the Linyi Police Station, each with two vehicles.

Following the path of the previous day, the group hurried to the Ancient Tomb site before the morning mist had cleared.

The site was sealed off from the previous day, and no one had trespassed.

The arrival of the Cultural Relics Bureau and the police hadn’t served any substantial purpose, they were more witnesses and collectors of evidence.

There were also cameramen filming.

This was a mark of work.

The main force was still the ninth Archaeological Team and Professor Qi.

“Dig from here!”

After a round of geological and tomb exploration, Old Yao, experienced as he was, decided to carry out protective excavation on the Ancient Tomb underground.

This place had been visited by Tomb Robbers.

Protective excavation needed to be done quickly.

The archaeologists immediately sprang into action, and both police and cultural heritage workers joined the excavation.

Archaeological spades danced up and down.

Loads of earth were moved to a distance, and stones were also piled up nearby.

Not long after.

A wide hole was uncovered not far from the thief’s hole, about eight or nine meters deep, and the brick wall layer was exposed to everyone.

Qin Sisi was a powerhouse in the excavation team, and she looked at the brick wall as soon as it was revealed, furrowing her brows immediately.

“Qin, spotted anything?”

Old Yao hadn’t approached yet, but seeing Qin Sisi’s expression, he asked.

Qin Sisi didn’t answer right away, instead she knocked on the brick wall, which made a thudding sound.

Her thoughts raced with each thud.

‘Inside the brick wall is a theft-proof interlayer; therefore, the bricks on the brick wall can only be removed outward, not pushed inward.’

‘The brick wall was covered with a layer of wax, filled with strong acid, which would pour out instantly if opened rashly.’
