Chapter 9 Seeing the Spot to Know the Leopard

"A person's age, race, and living habits can be seen from the number of deciduous teeth or wisdom teeth in the teeth. The enamel of the teeth will grow at a rate of 4 microns per day, so observing the thickness of the enamel can also estimate a person's age. The characteristics of the jaw can determine the race of the target, as well as some small details, such as smokers' teeth will turn black, tailors who often hold needles in their mouths will have larger gaps in their teeth, etc."

"The most direct way to judge a person's age at death is to take a sample from the teeth and then analyze the content of the carbon isotope carbon-14. You can determine the age when the person died. But we are now in an ancient tomb, and there is no such thing. Under the conditions, it is more than enough to determine the gender and age of death directly from the degree of tooth wear.”

Black glasses looked at Li Lvyan, who was frowning. The person in his mind overlapped with Li Lvyan inexplicably, and his face changed slightly. "Who are you, Jiang Yunsu?"

Li Luyan was surprised, "Do you know my university professor?"

Black Glasses took a deep breath: This is really a flood that flooded the Dragon King Temple. It seems that there is indeed God's will in the dark. Li Lvyan couldn't help but be very surprised when he saw the black glasses asking him a question but not answering actively. However, when he looked at the bones, he knew that the two bones were already dead, and he was not so scared immediately.

Wo Gua said, "Corporal Grasshopper, I have discovered that you are dishonest."

Li Green Ant said, "Why am I being dishonest?"

"Didn't you say that you followed your master to rob tombs in an honest way? Why are you doing forensic work now?"

Li Lvyan said helplessly, "That's not tomb robbing. It's a study of the historical activities of ancient human society based on the material data left behind by ancient humans through various activities."

"Come on, one is funded, and the other is working alone in the dark. Isn't this the essential difference?"

Li Lvyan was furious and muttered, "I minored in medicine in college."

Black Glasses coughed, "These two corpses have rotted like this. The movement here has nothing to do with them, but what is more worthy of consideration now is why there are two modern human skeletons hidden in the tomb of Liu Jing of the Han Dynasty, and ——”

Moreover, this is actually the first time that the nail in the coffin has been driven in. Now it seems that we really need to think carefully about what Wo Gua said, because only time travel can explain this situation clearly.

Wo Gua said carelessly, "Why are you so cowardly? Since we know that these two corpses will not cause any actual harm, why should we be polite to him?" After saying that, he stretched out his hand to touch the corpses, which scared Li Lvyan. "They are wearing modern clothes. Wherever there are antiques, you won't even let them go!"

"What do you know? If they are really the first in history to travel to the past, I have to find evidence to convince you two."

Wogua didn't care. He dug around on the man in the jacket for a while and found nothing. Then he ran over to the man in the windbreaker and rubbed it, but he still didn't seem to find anything. , couldn’t help but feel a little discouraged.

Black Glasses observed it for a moment, then suddenly held the inside of the windbreaker that had been missed by Wo Gua with his right hand, folded his index finger and thumb together and rubbed it, and said with a slight curl of the corner of his mouth, "Found it."

Um?

Li Lvyan and Wo Gua, who originally thought there was nothing on this person, immediately gathered around him. He pulled his black glasses slightly with one hand and a black and white photo fell out of his windbreaker. Wo Gua laughed "hehe" and picked up the photo. The photo said triumphantly, "Look, this commander has the foresight."

But when Wo Gua saw the photo first, the smile on his face suddenly froze.

Seeing the strange look on Wo Gua's face, Black Glasses and Li Lvyan took the photo and looked at it. They saw that it was an ugly photo that was almost peeling off. But what a coincidence, there were several people standing in the photo. His face can still be barely seen clearly.

There are seven people in the photo, not standing in a row, but in two rows. The three people in front look energetic, with an average age of about thirty-five. They are wearing neat coats. There is nothing special about them. Although they were smiling, their faces gave off an extremely serious look. Since they were standing in the front row when the photo was taken, it meant that the status of these three people in this group was higher than those in the back row.

What was strange was that there were four people behind them. One of them was wearing a camouflage windbreaker and the other was wearing a jacket. Li Lvyan looked back at the two coffins that had just been opened. Those two people must be them.

And sure enough, judging from the appearance and age of the two people, they were not much different from what Li Luyi had just guessed. The four people at the back were not so much taking pictures, but more like acting as bodyguards in a team. They were unsmiling and had a chilling air, like soldiers who had experienced bullets and rain.

The three in front were at least smiling, while the four in the back were unsmiling and staring coldly at the camera.

This photo is full of contradictions, and the background behind it is also very strange. It seems to be the yard of a wealthy family, because the picture has no color, but the spaciousness and decoration of the yard still indicate the affluence of that family.

Li Lvyan and Black Glasses looked at it for a long time but didn't see anything. Nawogua just glanced at it. How could he be so scared?

But seeing Wo Gua hugging his knees and shivering in the corner, as if he was frightened, Li Lvyan patted Wo Gua on the shoulder, "I said Wo Gua, aren't you known as the handsome coach? The coach only has so much courage and is so timid. Like this? Just now you were not afraid to open the coffin, and you were even less afraid to miss the dead things. Now you are afraid like this after seeing the photo. You are fucking useless. On behalf of all the young pioneers across the country, I despise you."

Wo Gua raised his head, his face pale, "The man in the middle of the first row of that photo -"

Hearing what Wo Gua said, Li Lvyan took the photo and looked at it. He was a slightly wealthy man, dressed like a wealthy businessman. Why did his facial bones look familiar?

Wo Gua trembled, "That's my dad."

What?

Not to mention Li Lvyan, even Black Glasses couldn't help but move when he heard Wo Gua's words. Black Glasses quickly took out the map he got first, "The map you gave me before is Did he draw it?”

Wo Gua swallowed his saliva, "I was afraid that you would not keep your word, so I traced it myself based on the real map. The real map is still in the toilet water tank of the hotel I rented."

It turns out that the map that Black Glasses has been looking at was obtained from Wo Gua. Wo Gua was willing to provide Black Glasses with the map and followed Black Glasses all the way here. There must be something that fell into Black Glasses' hands.

Thinking of this, Li Lvyan was full of curiosity about the encounter between the two people.

Wo Gua looks like a fat chef in a restaurant who can steal a bite while holding a spoon. How could he possibly meet someone like Black Glasses? It turned out to be because of the map in Wo Gua's father's hand.

When I looked at the man again, I saw that his facial features were very similar to Wo Gua's. Although Wo Gua was oversized, it was unmistakable. This time, Wo Gua was really not bragging.

Seeing that Wogua was afraid of becoming like a bird, Li Lvyan said with relief, "This photo was taken in a yard. The fact that these two people died here does not necessarily mean that your father also came to this tomb."

Wo Gua raised his head, "But my dad has been dead for thirty years. I have only seen his photos and never met him. Tell me, if he is really alive, how could he not come back to see me?"

Li Lvyan finally understood Wo Gua's strange behavior. It turned out that there was such a deep-seated reason behind all this. He couldn't help but look at the photo again, but the first one from the left in the first row looked slightly different. When he looked like a man with an elegant air, he couldn't help but feel a familiar feeling of closeness in his heart.

Strange, have I seen this person somewhere before?

Black Glasses suddenly said, "The strangeness of this photo can be studied slowly after we go out, but the most important thing right now is that we are trapped here, and what is even weirder is that since this man is indeed Jin Yuanbao's father and the third How could the person from ten years ago, the person who was also photographed behind him, appear in a coffin from the Han Dynasty? And more importantly, the nails in the coffin were definitely driven in once and were never pulled out again. I can’t figure these things out, even if I know the true identity of everyone in this photo, it won’t help.”

real identity?

Li Lvyan glanced at Black Glasses strangely: Except for Wo Gua who took the initiative to say that one of them was his father, Black Glasses was a little surprised. Everything else in this extremely weird photo seemed a little strange. The calmness, did the black glasses know something, but didn't say it?

Black Glasses knew that Li Lvyan's inquiring eyes were on him, so he didn't explain. He still inquired about the situation more carefully. The anxiety hidden in his heart was reflected in Black Glasses' actions, and it was impossible to repeat the self-flagellation. The mystery solved.

At this moment, Wo Gua also recovered from the excessive blow just now. Seeing the black glasses in such a state, he couldn't help but said to Li Luyi, "Corporal Grasshopper, have you discovered something but not said anything?"

Li Lvyan nodded, "There must be a lot of things hidden in these black glasses that haven't been told to us. I had to act a little when I saw this photo unexpectedly."

"Acting?" Wo Gua's eyes widened, "Do you think it was an accident that I found this photo? The black glasses knew a lot of things at the first sight of the photo, but they didn't tell us that everything was just pretending to us. watch?"

Li Lvyan affirmed, "When he said 'true identity', I became very suspicious. The photo was strange and true, but except for you who knew what your father looked like, we didn't know the names of the other people at the scene." Who, why did he just tell those people in the photos and their true identities?"

Wo Gua patted his thigh, "Yeah, why didn't I notice it just now? Those black glasses are really hidden."

Is it something hidden, or is there another evil intention?

Li Lvyan frowned and began to think about every move, word and deed of Black Glasses just now, but found that Black Glasses was indeed an extremely careful person. If he hadn't found a loophole in that sentence, I'm afraid he wouldn't have even done this at all. Being unable to detect it also made Li Lvyan want to find faults, but he couldn't find the fault at all.

Wo Gua said, "Speaking of which, the three of us are now tied to life and death. You can't just hide and say nothing just because these black glasses are suspicious. Food and water sources are limited. If we do this on purpose, we will end up dead." They will just perish together."

Wo Gua's words were rough and unreasonable. Li Lvyan took a deep breath and stuffed the photo into his pocket without any trace. Seeing the calm light in Li Lvyan's eyes through his black glasses, he knew that he had made a discovery. He immediately He looked up at Li Lvyan.

Li Lvyan, who was originally prepared to express his reasoning very forcefully, couldn't help but feel soft when he saw Black Glasses' gesture of asking for help, and then he started to look down upon himself.

Bah, what are you asking for help? Those black glasses are definitely not good people, and they were still lying to us just now. Don’t be fooled by the illusion.

"The trench coat originated in World War I. The military coats on the Western battlefield were called 'trench coats.' The First World War originated in August 1914. After that, the windbreaker began to become popular, and the real It will be a few years before you invest in the clothes you wear in your life.”

Wogua and Black Glasses looked at Li Lvyan blankly, "Corporal Grasshopper, what are you talking about? This grave robber is not here to hold a fashion exhibition for you. Your special hobby can be displayed on the website in the dead of night. , these brothers are waiting to go out and do serious things."

Li Luyi raised his eyebrows and said, "Marshal Wo Gua, when you take a multiple-choice question and don't know the correct answer, what do you do?"

Wo Gua thought for a while with a frown on his face, "I will not do it, and then hand in the paper in advance, and finally let the idiot test writer eat his shit."

Li Lvyan looked at the black glasses and asked, "What about you?"

Black Glasses calmly said, "If there must be a correct answer here, and the others are all wrong, when I don't know the correct answer, I will use the elimination method."

"bingo."

Li Lvyan sighed at Wo Gua, "There are many possibilities before us now, but there must be a solution. Otherwise, why is there not a single body here? And they went out, and we are still here? This It’s because we don’t have the right answer yet, and we don’t even have the wrong answer in front of us.”

Black glasses looked at Li Lvyan strangely, "How did you know someone was out?"

Li Lvyan's eyes darkened, he looked at the black glasses and smiled slightly, "It seems you know."

Black Glasses crossed his arms, raised his head slightly, looked at Li Lvyan, and smiled casually, "I don't know."

Seeing that Black Glasses refused to tell the truth even at this time, Li Lvyan gritted his teeth, but still said truthfully, "In the photo just now, I don't know if all the three people in the front row came in, but the four people behind must be They came in together, because from my observation, those four people should be bodyguards similar to mercenaries."

Wo Gua scratched his head, "You can accurately judge their age, but can you tell the cause of their death?"

Li Lvyan shook his head, "There are no traces of blunt force blows on the skull. The bones are normal and have no discoloration. It is not a physical or chemical death, but a natural death. But if you ask me how I died, there is no laboratory test. I still I really don’t know. After all, I was a dabbler in medicine back then. However, these people’s bones are very developed, including calf bones, sternums, etc., and everything is in line with the characteristics of personnel who have been trained at high intensity for many years, so I judge that they are either military personnel, Or they are mercenaries." Li Lvyan raised his head and took another look at his black glasses. His expression was as usual, and he couldn't see anything wrong.

"Then it doesn't make sense. When it comes to life and death, everyone wants to survive. Why were his two companions left behind when they escaped? That's not right. You still haven't explained it. You What’s going on with that windbreaker you just mentioned?”

The black glasses suddenly showed a hint of understanding, and said lightly, "Don't you understand? Wind and raincoats were only popularized in the British army after the First World War, while in China, the 'windbreaker' only appeared in the 1930s. Clothes, that speaks for itself.”

Wo Gua still looked confused. Black Glasses and Li Lvyan said in unison, "This means that the time-travel thing you just mentioned is impossible to happen."

Um?

The two looked at each other, and Li Lvyan pursed his lips, "This is the method of elimination. Eliminate all the answers that can be thought of now, one by one, eliminate all the impossibilities, and the remaining one, no matter how incredible it is, , that’s also true.”

Wo Gua blinked his eyes, "I'm not making baseless remarks. You have also seen the traces of the coffin nails being pulled out and then nailed back in before they were nailed down. People of the 20th century were lying in coffins made in the Han Dynasty. No matter how you look at it, it will make people think like that.”

"This just confirms what I just said," he said, looking at Wo Gua, and said with certainty, "Aside from these two people, there is definitely a third or even more people who have come to this tomb."

At this time, Black Glasses finally understood what Li Lvyan meant. He looked at Li Lvyan with a complex expression but with admiration, "You mean, this coffin nail was not there at all. These two people were there at the beginning." After he died, he was put into this coffin by his companions and nailed with coffin nails, but the original two coffins were not nailed at all?"

Children can be taught.

Wo Gua slapped his forehead at this time and couldn't help but said, "Damn it, why didn't I think of that? It seems that there must be more than one person who came in with these two ghosts before. Otherwise, how could these two people sleep here peacefully?" Datoujue, I am really smart as ice and snow." Seeing Wogua's happy expression again, Li Lvyan shook his head.

But clarifying this issue is not enough. The more critical question is, since these two corpses were left by the group that came in before them, what is the purpose of the two coffins that were originally placed here? Was there a body in this coffin before? And if there is a body, why is it not seen here? If not, then why are these two coffins placed here so strangely?

Wo Gua knew that this matter was not something he could think about with his intelligence, but he still cautiously said, "Well, I think that instead of thinking about who is the unscrupulous person who did this to this coffin, it is better to consider this matter as a whole. .”

Um?

Li Lvyan's eyes lit up, "Say it again!"
