Chapter 226 - Chapter 226: Chapter 174: Increase the Severity of the Crime? (5000-Word Chapter) (2/2)

‘The strong acid is highly corrosive; once poured on a person, the whole body would corrode.’

‘…’

The passages from “Touch Gold Notes” immediately flashed in her mind.

It was too similar!

She leaned in and sniffed, but couldn’t smell any strong acid, possibly because the wax layer sealed off the scent.

At this moment, she was eager to break open the brick wall to see if it was as Lin Chuan had described.

The theft-proof interlayer, the strong acid.

Therefore, she looked at Old Yao and immediately said, “Captain Yao, my preliminary estimate is that this is the theft-proof interlayer. The bricks can only be removed outward, not pushed in, and there is a high likelihood of strong acid, so we need to be especially careful.”

Old Yao came over to her side and nodded solemnly, “Let me do it.”

As an experienced captain, he naturally knew how to handle this.

His index and middle fingers were long, but he did not possess the art of the Double Finger Probe. Instead, he took out a military knife and started to pry gently along the seams of the brick wall.

Crack crack.

One by one, the bricks were passed out by his hands.

Indeed, this was a theft-proof interlayer, and as expected, a wax layer appeared before them.

However, there was no red liquid strong acid under the wax layer.

Qin Sisi breathed a sigh of relief, this was likely unrelated to Lin Chuan.

But in the next instant, Lin Chuan’s suspicion grew.

Because, in Lin Chuan’s novel it was described, after breaking through the brick wall, they used needles and plastic tubes to divert the liquid strong acid into a straight well.

With time, the soil around here would have been acidified by the strong acid and would be much more acidic than the soil in the same area that had not encountered strong acid.

Qin Sisi immediately took out pH test paper.

She began comparing the acidity of several samples of soil.

Sure enough.

The soil near the thief’s hole was far more acidic than that of other places.

This…

Before even entering the tomb, Lin Chuan’s suspicion had increased again.

Meanwhile.

Old Yao and the others had broken through the brick wall and the wax layer to discover a pitch-dark Underground Palace.

After professional equipment tested for toxicity and air quality, confirming it was safe, the people, equipped with the necessary gear, immediately entered the Underground Palace.

Qin Sisi took a deep breath, already praying silently that the layout inside the tomb chamber wouldn’t be the same as what Lin Chuan had recorded.

But!

As she entered the Underground Palace, illuminated by the lighting equipment, sweeping her gaze around, her heart felt cold.

It was utterly chilled!

At this moment, she essentially pronounced Lin Chuan’s sentence.

The sentence for Tomb Robbing varies according to the damage done to the tomb chamber, the losses incurred, the cultural relics stolen, and the impact caused. It could be as short as a few years or as long as life imprisonment.

Even a round of peanuts could be in order.

biubiubiu!

Anything could happen!

“Writer Lin, I hope your sentence will be a little shorter,” Qin Sisi sighed, her gaze resting on the Underground Palace.
