Chapter 208: Chapter 168: Just Come Back to the Police Station with Me and Confess Everything! (5000 Words Mega Chapter)
More than ten meters underground, a brick chamber tomb from the Han Dynasty.
In front of the stone gate, Shen Qianqian, Qin Sisi, Su Yu, and Old Lu among others focused their eyes on Lin Chuan.
They saw Lin Chuan tap the stone gate, which was over two meters tall, then he shined his flashlight into two small holes on the gate, before extending his index and middle fingers to probe inside.
Old Lu frowned and asked in confusion, “Is there something inside these small holes?”
Director Su Yu wasn’t completely ignorant; after watching Lin’s actions, he murmered, “I suddenly recall that, years ago, when interrogating Zhang Biao, a tomb robber, he had mentioned a technique for opening tomb doors that required having very long index and middle fingers. However, he had not mastered it, and I didn’t know if it was real or not.”
“Having very long index and middle fingers is useful for what?”
Old Lu, who relied heavily on modern instruments, was somewhat ignorant about tomb robbing techniques.
Director Su Yu furrowed his brows, his gaze landing on Lin Chuan, “Just like Comrade Lin is doing now, this move is called…”
“Double Finger Probe!”
To one side, Shen Qianqian chimed in.
All of a sudden, everyone turned to look at Shen Qianqian, their eyes filled with confusion.
Qin Sisi’s mouth was slightly open, her voice tinged with surprise as she asked, “Qianqian, you understand these techniques too?”
Shen Qianqian chuckled, shook her head, and explained to everyone:
“I don’t understand this. Just now, when I was above ground, I secretly looked up ancient tomb robbing techniques and happened to see the one Lin Chuan is using. Both the index and middle fingers are inserted into the small hole to explore the internal mechanism structure. Then with a force of two fingers, the mechanism is broken open, but…”
“But what?” Qin Sisi pressed.
The corner of Shen Qianqian’s mouth twitched, “However, the description says that this is a made-up skill of the fictional Central General of Prosperity.”
“What?”
Everyone was stunned.
Made up in a novel?
The unique skill of the Central General of Prosperity?
Once again, everyone looked at Lin Chuan, their expressions a bit odd.
Using a fictional skill to open a real tomb’s stone gate sounded strange, didn’t it?
Yet, watching Lin Chuan’s focused and professional motion, the skill seemed as if it was real.
Just as everyone was puzzled,
Lin Chuan’s fingers, which had been inserted into the little holes of the stone gate, suddenly exerted strength and with a ‘click-click’ sound, immediately drew everyone’s attention.
There were consecutive slight clinking sounds from inside the stone gate.
Listening, it seemed like the noise of mechanical movement, not quite like gears, more like iron blocks.
Click, click, click—
Creak—
Lin Chuan lightly pushed with both hands, and the stone gate slowly began to open a crack which gradually widened.
For a moment, everyone’s eyes bulged, looking at each other in astonishment.
Their faces were filled with immense joy and full of surprise.
They were happy that the stone gate had been opened without damage.
They were surprised that the so-called ‘Double Finger Probe’ technique, which was supposedly fiction, was real!
Old Lu’s expression was particularly priceless.
