Chapter 16 Section 15 Catch the Thief

Hearing this sentence, there were a few team members around who heard the news and rushed over to see it. Everyone immediately exploded: "How is it possible?" "That's right, how could King Loulan's tomb be here?" "The tomb of King Loulan has never been found before, how could it be found here?" According to literature records, Loulan Kingdom changed its name to Shanshan Kingdom in 77 BC and then moved its capital to Nicheng.So far, the academic circles are still inconclusive about the location of the capital of Loulan and the capital renamed as the capital of Shanshan.Back then, Bergman discovered a large group of tombs in the Xiaohe cemetery, suspected to be the cemetery of the Loulan royal family, but there is no text to indicate that there is a Loulan king buried there.However, this place may be thousands of miles away from the Loulan ruins, but on this stone gate, the words of the resting place of King Loulan are clearly engraved. If this is true, it may be one of the most important archaeological discoveries of this century. one.

"Shut up!" Sang Bu yelled irritably when he heard the team members' discussion, and he waited for Chu Feng's confirmation.And Chu Feng is busy communicating with Professor Ling now: "Professor, we may have discovered the tomb of King Loulan!" Then, he scanned the text on the stone gate with the scanning function on the computer, and passed it to the professor. The professor also confirmed that Chu Feng's translation of these two lines of Kalu characters was accurate. "Great, after waiting for so many years, I finally found a Loulan royal tomb!" The professor seemed very excited.

Chu Feng told the professor about the tomb robber, and the professor became anxious when he heard it: "How can I do that! Apply for protection from the armed police immediately!" Sangbu followed Chu Feng all the time, and when he confirmed the meaning of this sentence, he immediately turned to make a phone call. If this is really Loulan King's Tomb, maybe we can find some clues to the mystery of Loulan's mysterious disappearance.This is the first time that Loulan Royal Tomb has been discovered, and no one is not excited.There are no less than 20 Loulan kings with names and surnames recorded in Chinese historical records, but no royal tomb has been found so far. If the secrets hidden by the Loulan people for thousands of years can be found here, then it may really be the most valuable archeology of this century. Found.

Even Chu Feng, who has always been calm and self-disciplined, couldn't help shaking his hands slightly after discussing with the professor the possibility of Loulan King's Tomb appearing in this place! Take a deep breath!Chu Feng put away his computer and went to take a closer look around the mausoleum to see if he could find any clues. It stands to reason that if this tomb has been robbed, there should be a robbery hole nearby, and Chu Feng searched carefully around the tomb door for a radius of one kilometer, but he didn't find even a mouse hole, then , this tomb should never have had a visitor.From the topography and the results obtained by the archaeologists holding Luoyang shovels, he can see that the underground area of ​​this cemetery will not be less than three acres.This is basically consistent with the identity of the king of a small country in the Western Regions - Loulan King.

Just then, two police cars drove into the construction site.Chu Feng saw a little boy who jumped out of the leading police car, and looked carefully, it turned out to be the little boy he met on the big bluestone at the entrance of Mazha Village at dusk yesterday. This little boy is Ahematjiang. He didn't see those off-road vehicles leaving the village yesterday. He felt very reconciled. Yesterday those cars and my little friend Eska... The police who learned the situation from Chu Feng and others arrived at Mazha Village, but found nothing. When they were about to withdraw, they saw a little boy running out of breath: "Uncle policeman, uncle policeman, hurry up! Go catch the bad guys!"

The policemen followed the little boy into the canyon and met the gang of tomb robbers who were trying to escape. After a firefight, the gang was captured in one fell swoop. It turned out that Eska accidentally discovered a trail that can go around the canyon from the back of the village. He has a friend in Shanshan County. A few days ago, when that friend came back to him, he accidentally revealed himself when he was bragging with him. Knowing that there is a small road that no one knows into the canyon, I didn't expect to be caught by this group the next day and asked him to lead the way into the canyon.Ahematjiang, a little boy, followed behind those cars. Seeing Iska with his hands bound, he hurried back to the village to find helpers, just in time to bump into the police who came to search for him.

Hearing the inside story, Chu Feng secretly called it a fluke.If it weren't for the little boy Ahemaitijiang, I'm afraid the police still wouldn't be able to catch the tomb robbers. After Chu Feng asked Ahemaitijiang carefully, he walked towards Captain Sangbu.Sangbu was talking to a policeman, and when he saw Chu Feng coming over, he introduced: "Chu Feng, Professor Chu, from Nanjing, a disciple of the famous Professor Lingru Kailing." "Lao Cai, director of Shanshan County Public Security Bureau." Sambu was still the same, introducing the two to each other with particularly concise words.

"Professor Chu, I have admired him for a long time!" Director Cai was very enthusiastic, and shook Chu Feng's hand violently. Chu Feng said a few polite words, and quietly withdrew his hand. What Director Cai said here is similar to what Xiao Ahemaitijiang said. A total of 10 people and three vehicles were captured. The leader of this group of tomb robbers was not with his subordinates, so this time he slipped through the net.Moreover, most of the funerary objects they stole from the Han tomb in the middle of the night last night were also driven by the leader and a man named "Hei Pi" to sell the stolen goods, so they were not seized, that is to say, they slipped through the net at least two times. One car per person.

When Chu Feng heard this, he felt very regretful, but Director Cai was full of joy.Having cracked such a large theft case, and also arrested a gang of repeat criminals, it is already predictable that Director Cai will receive an award for his meritorious deeds.Such a good thing has been obtained without any effort, why not let him be overjoyed? ! "Professor Chu, I heard that you were the first to discover the clues of this group of people. Oh, thank you so much! It's also thanks to you for not making a fuss! Otherwise, these guys hid in another place, and I don't know where to find them !” Director Cai sincerely thanked Chu Feng.

"Where, I'm ashamed to say that I didn't do anything. Without this little boy, I'm afraid I'd be accused of condoning crimes!" Chu Feng smiled wryly. "Nothing! Nothing!" Director Cai laughed dryly. Most of the criminals have already been escorted by Director Cai to the police station. There are only two people in the car. These two are guarding Eska. Director Cai is going to interrogate them himself, so the car to escort them is at the end.Chu Feng glanced at it, unexpectedly, this time, through the car window, he saw a familiar face!I was shocked for a moment!

Director Cai who was beside him noticed his strange behavior: "Professor Chu! Professor Chu! What's wrong with you?" Chu Feng came back to his senses and looked at Director Cai's expression: "Oh, it's okay! I seem to have seen this man in Urumqi!" He pointed to a "yellow-haired" young man in the car and said.This is the "yellow hair" that appeared at Fatty's house that night! "Oh!" Chief Cai was interested, "Where did you see him? Do you know him?" "Oh no! I don't know him!" Chu Feng didn't tell the truth because of Fatty, "I just arrived in Urumqi that day and wanted to go to a friend's house. I saw him arguing with others on the side of the road because his 'yellow hair' was too conspicuous. I just took a second look, and I didn’t expect to see him here again.” Director Cai didn't say anything after listening to his explanation.However, the reason why Chu Feng's words are so half-truthful is to prevent professionals like him from hearing something wrong, so Director Cai must not be able to find any flaws for a while.But this is just a stopgap measure. If the "yellow hair" confesses, he will be passive.However, before doing this, Chu Feng must ask Fatty for clarification. Director Cai and the car escorting "Huang Mao" walked away, but Chu Feng was still immersed in his own thoughts. "Yellow Hair" appeared here and was arrested, does it mean that the fat man is the escaped thief? ...Chu Feng shook his head, as if he wanted to get rid of such thoughts, no, the fat man has his own legitimate career, how could he be the leader of this group? But what about the "yellow hair" who appeared here and was caught as a tomb robber?Could it be that Fatty has some unclear connection with them? Thinking of this, Chu Feng wished he could go back to Wushi to find Fatty and ask him face to face. It's a pity that he can't leave now. The significance of the discovery of the Loulan King's Tomb is not insignificant. If it is confirmed that this is indeed a Loulan King's Tomb after the door of the tomb is opened, then this is the first time in thousands of years that it has appeared before the eyes of the world. Loulan Royal Tomb.This news made Ling Rukai very excited and decided to come immediately.Chu Feng talked all kinds of things, so he persuaded the professor to wait for the news in the ward first, and Chu Feng promised to inform him of the news on the scene as soon as possible.So, he can't go now anyway. Chu Feng went to look at the tomb door again, and found that the stone door was tightly blocked at the end of the passage.The migrant workers have tried many ways to loosen the stone gate, but they have made no progress. Xiao Wang happened to be the supervisor here, and when he saw Chu Feng approaching, he stepped forward: "Professor Chu, we have thought of many ways, but this stone gate seems to be more than that, look—" He pointed to the side to dig A touch of blue came out, "This is also a huge rock. There are huge rocks on the left and right sides of this stone gate. We haven't dug to the edge of the huge rock. I don't know how big it will be. Otherwise, let's blast it!" "No, it must not be blasted! We must ensure the integrity of this stone gate!" Joking.This stone gate is now the only evidence that can prove that this tomb is the tomb of King Loulan. If it is blown up, there will be no written materials inside to prove the identity of the owner of the tomb. At this time, Captain Sangbu also came in, and Xiao Wang explained the situation again.After hearing this, Sangbu said calmly: "According to Professor Chu's instructions!" After speaking, he looked at the blue boulder carefully, waved his hand, and asked Xiao Wang to go over: "Ask someone to dig out the stone from that position on the ground." , you dig from here, move together, I don't believe it, this rock can be so big!" He said while gesturing.The pointed place is 50 centimeters different from the current location of the bluestone. After hearing this, Xiao Wang quickly went to the ground to set up.Sangbu walked up to Chu Feng and asked in a low voice, "Are you sure that this is the tomb of King Loulan?" Chu Feng knew in his heart that this big man like an iron tower, despite his calm appearance, was probably already churning in his heart.He shook his head with certainty: "I can't be sure! Before the door of this tomb is opened, I can't be sure about anything!" After speaking, he turned around and left. After walking a long way, he could still hear the sound of Sangbu grinding his teeth.Chu Feng was secretly happy!The iron tower man also had times when he was deflated, and he seemed to have avenged the handshake at the beginning! That night, when it was getting dark, Professor Zhang arrived with a group of people from the Xinjiang Institute of History and a platoon of armed police soldiers. Professor Zhang was going back to Nanjing on today's plane, but after hearing about the discovery of the Loulan Royal Tomb , Immediately canceled the trip and rushed over. The professor Wang who came yesterday afternoon also came and greeted Chu Feng with a look of remorse.Chu Feng and Professor Zhang were discussing what happened during the day, so they didn't bother to ask. The armed police soldiers in that platoon were led by a company commander surnamed Mao, and it seemed that the higher-ups still attached great importance to this matter.As soon as they arrived, they set up a guard post and surrounded the area within a few kilometers with a cordon. Since the thieves haven't been caught yet, Chu Feng and the others might be in danger if they go back to the village for the night. Professor Zhang and the others brought enough outdoor survival equipment, so Chu Feng camped with everyone. Don't look at the high temperature of more than 30 degrees Celsius during the day, but at night, you have to wear a cotton coat. "Wear cotton-padded jacket in the morning, gauze in the afternoon, and eat watermelon with the stove in your arms" is not an exaggeration at all here.After Chu Feng ate a simple dinner with everyone—instant noodles, he got up and walked out of the tent wearing a military coat that Professor Zhang gave to everyone. Looking up at the starry sky that seems to be within reach, Chu Feng sighed at the childlike stars twinkling in the silent night sky. Why does this beautiful starry sky always appear in desolate places? "Because real beauty can only be appreciated by a few people!" Chu Feng was taken aback by the voice coming from nowhere, and when he took a closer look, there was a figure behind him that shouldn't have appeared at all. Chu Feng laughed at Ling Ning's appearance in the military coat for a long time afterwards. She was originally small, but now she wrapped her whole body in it like a zongzi.Chu Feng didn't care to laugh at her at the time, and stared at her as if he had seen a ghost: "You, why are you here? Where is the professor? Who will take care of the professor now?" Ling Ning shrugged: "Uncle asked me to come, don't worry, I hired special guard for him. Uncle is fine." "No!" Chu Feng was worried. Although the special guard was very good, it was impossible for him to be as careful as his relatives. He grabbed Ling Ning's hand and walked out: "You must go back, now, immediately, immediately!" "Uh--wait, wait--" Chu Feng ignored Ling Ning's protest, and dragged her towards the direction of the parking lot. Ling Ning couldn't bear it anymore, and yelled: "Stop--!" This sound, according to eyewitnesses afterwards, was loud enough to shatter the earth, at least half of Chu Feng's ear was numb for a long time.And the people in the tent didn't know what happened, so they ran out to see. At this time, Chu Feng's eyes widened again: "Teacher! Why are you here?!"
