Chapter 209: Chapter 168: Just come back to the police station with me and confess everything! (Five Thousand Word Mega Chapter)_2

Now, Lin Chuan was essentially the leader of this archaeological team.

After all, the strength he displayed made even Director Su Yu feel inferior.

Lin Chuan led everyone into the Stone Gate.

A musty scent hit them in the face, like an ancient house that had been sealed off, with the smell emanating from the decayed objects within.

However, this tomb from the Western Han Dynasty period seemed untouched by outsiders.

Inside the tomb, the tall mounds of earth and vertical burial shafts came into view.

Ahead was a tomb passage with a slope, extending underground.

On the side of the tomb passage, various paintings were depicted, including birds, beasts, insects, fish, and human clothing, similar yet distinct from the pictures on the bronze drum seen in the Cultural Relics Protection and Archaeological Research Institute.

Since the Stone Gate was wide open and a space had been dug above, some of the archaeological staff were carrying oxygen bags, so there was no need to worry about oxygen.

Lin Chuan, holding a flashlight, led everyone down the tomb passage.

Several flashlights swept over the tomb chamber, reaching the ground.

The place was covered in cobwebs, and several skeletons were in the corners of the chamber.

The two girls, Qin Sisi and Shen Qianqian, did not show fear. One was an archaeologist, and the other was a police officer.

To them, a few skeletons were nothing much to worry about.

“These must be the people who built this tomb chamber,” Lin Chuan surmised after a glance around the chamber, noting there were no signs of tomb raiders.

In ancient times, many large-scale tomb chambers required skilled craftsmen to construct them.

But once they completed the work, these people often couldn’t leave and were poisoned inside the tomb chamber.

A big reason for this was the fear that the tomb owners had that these craftsmen might reveal the secrets of the tomb’s construction and mechanisms after leaving, facilitating future tomb robbing.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Lin Chuan casually surveyed the chamber, noting its “convex” shape floor plan with front, middle, and rear chambers, a complex yet orderly structure, harboring twelve coffins placed in an orderly fashion within.

In the center of the tomb chamber was a bronze coffin engraved with exquisite patterns.

Adjacent to the bronze coffin on each side, there were two other wooden coffins.

All three coffins were sealed with wax on the surface.

They were relatively well-preserved.

Director Su Yu marveled, exclaiming, “We’ve discovered a Great Tomb in Anling!”

“Indeed.”

Old Lu, the archaeology expert, added his voice.

“We owe it all to our Writer Lin,” Qin Sisi blinked, glancing at Lin Chuan beside her.

In the dim light, Qin Sisi saw Lin Chuan’s face, calm and collected with a faint smile. Maybe it was the light, but she felt a sense of mystery about him.

If he joined the National Archaeological Team, wouldn’t that be fiercely awesome?

“This discovery of the Han Dynasty Grand Tomb was all thanks to Comrade Lin,” Su Yu laughed heartily, clearly very pleased.

Indeed, the pressure that had been weighing on his shoulders suddenly felt much lighter.
