Chapter 19 Chapter 17 Camera Tomb

Li Cu had countless questions and wanted to continue asking, but Wu Xie obviously didn't want to answer. After he finished speaking, he stopped talking, but sat down and started smoking. Li Cu also sat next to him, thinking about the results of sorting out.What he wanted to ask most just now was Wu Xie's analysis of this matter, but it seemed that Wu Xie did not have a specific analysis of this matter either.He felt that Wu Xie was struggling with something in his heart, this was the second time he had felt it, and it seemed that the closer he was to Gu Tong Jing, the more obvious Wu Xie's performance would be.

Li Cu wanted to figure out why, at least one thing is certain, Gutongjing is a strange place, there is a tomb that seems to be valuable, but all the people who went to that place, came back more or less. Or something went wrong. Everyone doesn't know what happened to those who had problems in Gutongjing, so, will they encounter the same situation when they go in?Thinking of this, he couldn't help feeling a little worried. If it wasn't for his family members, he might be implicated, and he wouldn't keep his promise and come here.I hope those are not true, I hope I can go home safely.

Just thinking about it, Wu Xie glanced at him and said to him strangely: "Stand up, what are you doing sitting here?" "I'll take a break too," he stammered. "Camels need to rest, why do you rest? The scenery here is so beautiful, go, take pictures." Wu Xie said, "Photographers should act like photographers, don't bother me next to me." "But I can't shoot." "Think about it yourself." Wu Xie said, "The work of the photographer is very important in this investigation, so don't show off." Li Cu left angrily, returned to his camel, found a hidden place with the aluminum alloy box, and opened the box.Inside was a set of SLR cameras that looked awesome. He picked it up, fiddled with it a little, and found that the operation was actually very simple.He picked up the camera, looked at the surrounding scenery, adjusted the focus and took a few landscape photos, and found that the photos were quite beautiful.It turns out that with such a camera, professional-level photos can be taken without any technical skills.

Li Cu got excited, climbed onto a sand dune, kept changing the focal length and turning the shutter in different directions, and took hundreds of photos.Suddenly, he stopped.He found something flashed in the camera.He put down the camera and looked in that direction, there was only a piece of yellow sand there. He frowned, because the camera turned very fast when taking pictures just now, and the speed of switching focus was also very fast, so it was just a momentary feeling.But Li Cu believed that he was not hallucinating, so he stopped immediately and looked in that direction, but the setting sun had already touched the ground line, and things in the distance could not be seen clearly under this light.

Li Cu picked up the camera again, zoomed out to the maximum focal length, and looked for the thing that flashed by just now, but he still couldn't find it.He wanted to check the SD card of the camera to see if the thing just now had been photographed.At this moment, someone in the camp on one side exclaimed. He looked back and saw a person shouting in the grass: "Come on, come on, there's something here." The others surrounded the person who was yelling, and someone asked, "What is making such a fuss?" Li Cu also slowly climbed down the sand dune, walked to the place where the crowd gathered, and found that they had dug the manhole for the purpose of having a bonfire and having dinner at night, but something was dug out when digging the hole.

Li Cu squeezed in and saw that there were indeed some unusual things in the excavated bunker. Most of them were black flakes that looked like plastic and metal, and there were also some colorful flakes mixed in. "What? Garbage?" someone asked. Wu Xie pushed everyone away, squatted down, picked up a piece of stuff and looked at it, and everyone recognized it immediately. This is a camera that has been burned. Wu Xie continued to fiddle with the plastic and metal sheets. Li Cu was surprised to find that there were a large number of burnt cameras of various models buried under the sand here, including SLRs and card players.

"What's going on here?" The people next to me whispered, "How come there are so many destroyed cameras?" "Dig it out." Wu Xie said to Wang Meng behind him, "Dig out everything." In total, the wreckage of more than forty cameras, of various models, were exhumed.By the time the cameras were sorted out and piled up in a row on tarps spread across the sand, it was already dark.Although the night in the desert was extremely cold, everyone in the inspection team put on their coats and surrounded the cameras. "There should be two to three tour groups." Wu Xie said, "All their cameras are here. When they passed by here, they collectively destroyed all their cameras."

"Why? Is it because there is too much money to spend?" A professor asked. "I don't know. It's probably because they took pictures that made them feel uncomfortable." Wu Xie said, "We can see if there is any memory card in it that can be used, so we can know what they have taken." Li Cuo helped Wu Xie check all the wreckage of the camera to see if there was a good memory card. Those professors seemed to be completely inexperienced with these things, and just kept watching from the sidelines. They finally removed six SD cards that might still be usable. After inserting them into the computer, the first few SD cards had problems, and only two could be recognized by the computer.

Li Cu thought to himself: If these people want to destroy the camera, they should be in a particularly flustered state, because if they are very calm and just want to destroy the photos inside, they only need to burn the SD card. But soon he found that he was wrong. In these two SD cards, there are a large number of photos, and the number is staggering.Most of them are landscape photos, few portraits.Obviously the owners of these two SD cards are professional photographers, not ordinary travelers who take pictures everywhere.Everyone watched quietly, and suddenly, the photos showed different scenery from before. The officers and soldiers accompanying the team pointed to those photos and told them that these were the scenery of Gutongjing.

Sure enough, the owners of these SD cards had all been to Gutongjing. Li Cuo asked at that time: "What exactly is Gutongjing?" As soon as he finished asking, everyone looked at him, and a student-like person said, "You haven't read the information? You don't even know where we're going?" Wu Xie looked at Li Cu and said in a teasing tone, "Yeah, you actually asked such a question." Li Cu was embarrassed for a moment, and said, "I'm not saying I don't know what that place is, I'm just sighing." Then he pretended to say it again, "What exactly is Gutongjing?"

Wu Xie patted him and said, "If you didn't do your homework well, you didn't do your homework well. Don't pretend, the professor is here. Let the professor explain to you." When Wu Xie spoke, he looked at a middle-aged man.The middle-aged man looked to be in his fifties, but his body was very muscular, and he did not look like a scholar at all.Li Cu remembered that this person seemed to be the team leader on the information, and his name was Wang Daming. Wang Daming's name sounds like someone from Hong Kong and Taiwan, but he is actually from Shandong and seems to be an expert in remote sensing.Hearing what Wu Xie said, he said, "Actually, the definition of that place is quite vague. I only know that Gutong Jing is an area surrounded by three Haizi, and the three Haizi are in the shape of a character. And the three Haizi They are elusive. Even in this era, satellites are often not found. They seem to be alive. It is said that someone saw them once in the Qing Dynasty. After the founding of New China, someone was on a plane during geological exploration. I saw it once and dropped the signal flag, but when I looked for it later, I only found a desert and didn’t see the three Haizi.” "Is this the legendary Haizi that can move by itself?" Li Cuo asked. Wang Daming nodded: "Many people have guessed this way. The three Haizi may not move, but appear at a certain time. After that time, they will sink to the bottom of the desert." "In that case, why is the place we are going to called Gutongjing?" "That's where the plane dropped the signal flag." The person next to Wang Daming said, "Did you not read any information?" For the first time, Li Cu felt that he was a little ashamed in this group, and he hesitated: "I, my memory is not very good." "Stop discussing these things. If you want to know more, go back and read the materials." Someone in the team said again, obviously a little unhappy.When Li Cu looked over, he also had an impression of that person, but when he read the information, he felt that this person was not an easy character to get along with.This person's hair is naturally curly, and he is probably under thirty years old. He is one of the few students, but it is said that he has made some achievements, so he has an equal status with the professors on weekdays. He couldn't remember the man's name, so he decided to call him Curly. Curly continued: "These photos are normal, ordinary landscape photos, it is impossible to burn the camera because of these photos. And, why did they bury them?" "If it's not the pictures in the camera that's going to be destroyed, is it the camera itself?" "You mean they suddenly collectively hate cameras?" "Is there such a thing as camera phobia in this world? I haven't heard of it." "Let me tell you, anything can happen in this world. There are still people who are afraid of hair. Hitler had body hair phobia. Except for his mustache and hair, all the hair on his body was shaved off." "However, it is impossible for so many people to get sick at the same time." Li Cu felt a little embarrassed when everyone chattered about. He obviously couldn't participate in such a discussion with his knowledge. After all, he was still a student. Dare to discuss issues with adults easily. Wu Xie ignored him, and just flipped through the photos over and over again. At the end, he clicked his tongue and made everyone quiet. "There is only one possibility for something like this to happen," he said. "What?" Curly asked. "This pit is full of cameras and nothing else, which means that this has nothing to do with carrying weight, looting, or discarding goods. This matter must only be about the cameras themselves. However, there are so many cameras here. If each camera The probability that the owner has the idea of ​​destroying the camera at the same time, or someone plans to destroy the camera is very small. That is to say, it is impossible for everyone to feel that the camera must be destroyed at the same time, and the tour group is not very good at it. Something like a leader saying that all the cameras have to be destroyed, because of course not everyone will listen to that order." "What's your conclusion?" Professor Wang asked. "The conclusion is that the person who destroyed these cameras will not be the entire tour group, it may be a small group of two or three people who took all the cameras, inspected and destroyed them." Wu Xie said, " We can restore what happened at that time. When one or several tour groups were stationed in a certain place, someone stole or used some method to take away the cameras of these tour group members, and checked the contents here. , and then destroyed." "This is also a conclusion. If this is the case, then they may think that with so many cameras, one of them is likely to take what they want." Professor Wang said, "So, have they found the photo they were looking for?" Woolen cloth?" "When we were looking for the cameras just now, did we find any camera without a memory card?" Wu Xie asked. Both Li Cu and Wang Meng shook their heads, Li Cu summoned up his courage and said, "I think, since they will burn all the cameras instead of just the memory card, then even if they find the photo they are looking for, they will burn the memory card." The camera with the picture was taken away." "It makes sense." Wu Xie took a few puffs of cigarettes, fiddled with the wreckage a few times, and said to Wang Meng, "Check again to see if there is anything missing." Then he said to others, "Everyone Let’s go get busy first, and those who are interested can stay and help, don’t just sit around and not do business, the temperature will cool down soon.”
