Headless General (5)
Tang Lei is the godbrother of psychic Tang Xiu. Luo Sichen calls Tang Xiu Sister Xiu. Sometimes Luo Sichen can't tell the difference between him and Tang Lei. Anyway, what he can be sure of is that he is not having sex with Tang Lei. Tang Lei's personality is weird. The strange thing is that he is obviously an ordinary person, but his highest record is that he did not eat, drink or sleep for seven days and seven nights in order to repair cultural relics, and he is not dead yet. From the perspective of cultural relic restoration, Tang Lei is a geek with a low level of education. There is no normal graduation stage in the entire process of junior high school, high school, and university. In order to study the skulls of dead people in the sixth grade of elementary school, he went to the cemetery in the middle of the night. Poe went to dig someone's grave, and when he was caught, he was beaten severely. Others saw that he was young, so they didn't beat him to death. Luo Sichen's evaluation of Tang Lei was that he knew there was a ghost but didn't want to believe that it would get dark. Although he seldom contacted him, he could always find him when he needed to be used, unless Tang Lei fell into a work state. It can be said that Luo Sichen was lucky to find Tang Lei this time. After Tang Lei repaired and appraised it day and night, he came to a conclusion. The conclusion was that the wooden board hidden under the iron cabinet was indeed coffin wood. As for the patterns on the bottom of the coffin, Tang Lei was a little confused.
"It's strange. I have been dealing with cultural relics for so long, and I have never seen similar patterns. I feel..." Tang Lei pushed up his glasses and thought about it carefully. Luo Sichen was waiting aside. Impatiently, he asked loudly: "Hey, can you handle it?"
"What's the hurry?" Tang Lei rolled his eyes at Luo Sichen and carefully examined each pattern with a magnifying glass. In fact, Tang Lei felt that these patterns were carved by hand, and they were definitely not coffin makers. After thinking about it, Tang Lei told Luo Sichen the conclusion he came to. Luo Sichen looked at Tang Lei in confusion after hearing this. He didn't understand what Tang Lei meant.
"Xiao Lei, you mean..."
"What I mean is that these patterns were carved after the coffin was made. If it was not carved by the deceased himself, it was carved by someone who could touch the coffin." Tang Lei looked up at Luo Sichen.
Xue Hu looked at Tang Lei with a smile and said softly: "This answer is interesting. Could it be that a person can't move even after he's dead?"
"You don't understand this, beauty. In ancient times, there was a custom that living people would often make coffins in advance in order to extend their lives." Tang Lei smiled confidently.
Luo Sichen picked up the wooden board and looked at it again and again, and asked puzzledly: "So what age is this coffin from?"
"The age is unknown, but I'm sure it's not the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it's earlier than the Ming and Qing Dynasties."
"Earlier than the Ming and Qing Dynasties?"
"Yes." Tang Lei nodded, stood up, pointed to a fine line on the coffin and said: "Generally, coffins do not have patterns on the bottom. This was not the case during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Although there were no professional instruments, I believe this is an earlier work than the Ming and Qing Dynasties."
"What do you think, this is a coffin!" Luo Sichen was really convinced by Tang Lei. In Tang Lei's eyes, anything with history was a cultural relic and a work, and they were all objects of his research, but he also Thanks to Tang Lei, at least it was confirmed that this thing was a coffin.
Tang Lei laughed. He was somewhat interested in the coffin and asked, "How about we make a deal?"
"What deal?" Luo Sichen didn't know what Tang Lei wanted from him. Last time, Tang Lei snatched a flower bowl from the Qing Dynasty from Luo Sichen's hands. This time, Tang Lei looked at it uncertainly. Got something that I had obtained before.
Tang Lei crossed his hands on his chest and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "I'll help you check this coffin. Afterwards, you have to give this coffin to me."
"You want a coffin too?" Luo Sichen opened his mouth.
Tang Lei looked at the coffin and replied with a smile: "It is of great research value."
Luo Sichen shook his head. He couldn't promise Tang Lei this. Firstly, the coffin couldn't leave here until the headless ghost was caught. Secondly, this thing didn't belong to him. Who hid it under the iron cabinet? Who knows who it belongs to, but it doesn't belong to Luo Sichen anyway. Luo Sichen couldn't make the decision, so he simply told Tang Lei about the situation. After hearing this, Tang Lei frowned. He felt very uncomfortable when he thought that the things he had in hand were actually taken by others. But soon, his unhappiness was wiped away because he thought of a good idea. Use the offer of help to restrain Luo Sichen and make Luo Sichen talk to him and ask for this thing.
"What? You want me to ask for this coffin?" Luo Sichen's voice reached a high octave, and Tang Lei's cleverness left him speechless.
Tang Lei made up his mind to do this anyway, so he picked up his bag and pretended to leave. "If you don't agree, forget it. Just pretend I haven't been here."
"Hey, wait a minute..." Luo Sichen stopped Tang Lei and sighed: "It's not that I don't want to help you get it, but I'm afraid they won't give it to you."
Tang Lei turned around, looked at Luo Sichen, and sneered: "Who are you, Luo Sichen? Are you worth more than this coffin? They must have spent a lot of money to invite you here. What does it mean to ask him for this coffin?" ?”
"I..." Luo Sichen shook his head angrily.
Xuehu was afraid that if Tang Lei really left, no one would be able to unlock the secret of this coffin, so he helped Luo Sichen stay and said, "Don't leave yet, there will be a way."
"Beauty is still smart." Tang Lei put down his bag. He didn't really want to leave, he was just showing off. Who makes him a geek? He just likes to study and tinker with these things. He and Luo Sichen The relationship is that of friends and partners. When Tang Lei is in trouble, he will ask Luo Sichen for help. Usually Luo Sichen likes to put on some airs. This time it is Tang Lei's time to ask for help. He will not let Luo Sichen do this. The boy had been taking advantage. In addition, Luo Sichen couldn't speak clearly before and said the wrong place, causing Tang Lei to fly to the wrong place. Tang Lei had paid off all Luo Sichen owed him at once.
"Let me think about it..." Luo Sichen
I just feel that my head is big. A coffin is not an important thing. The key is that someone put it under the iron cabinet. It proves that someone is paying attention to this coffin. Does it think this coffin has cultural relic value? Want to exchange it for money? Or does it mean something else? Luo Sichen didn't know this. Also, what Luo Sichen didn't know was who was the person who put away the coffin? It shouldn't be workers. Workers can't get in. After thinking about it, Luo Sichen only thought of the engineer, but the engineer didn't mention it at all. The reason for this? Sometimes, when you think about something, it is better to confirm it with action. Luo Sichen called Engineer directly and asked the question straight to the point.
The engineer squeaked on the phone and said, "Did you find out... I kept it there. It was dug out by the excavator there. I saw patterns on it... I thought it was..."
"You think it's a treasure?" Luo Sichen guessed that Cheng Gongba Cheng thought so.
Engineer Cheng replied on the phone: "...that's what I thought at the time..."
"Then tell me what you think now. Do you still think this thing is a treasure?" Luo Sichen had just told Engineer Cheng that this piece of wood is not a treasure, but a coffin. It is very likely that it is still the headless ghost. The meaning of the coffin is very obvious. It was because the engineer collected this piece of wood that the headless ghost was guarding the headless ghost outside the window. This proves that this coffin is very important to the headless ghost.
When Engineer Luo heard that Luo Sichen said that the ghost might kill people because of this, he was very scared and quickly replied: "Since it is a coffin, you can throw it away for me, or you can return it to him..."
"Then you mean that I can handle this coffin myself, right?" Luo Sichen further confirmed Cheng Gong's statement.
Chenggong sighed: "Sorry to trouble you, if I had known it was a coffin, I wouldn't have picked it up."
"Okay, it's okay. Leave the rest to me." Luo Sichen quickly hung up the phone and looked at Tang Lei with a smile. "Are you satisfied now?"
When Tang Lei heard that Luo Sichen had made up so many lies, he suppressed his laughter. That was because he was the one who benefited. "As expected of a master, he was fooled by just a few words."
"Talk about this? Let's do something." Luo Sichen put the coffin in front of Tang Lei. He was not worried that Tang Lei did not have professional equipment. He only needed to give Tang Lei a computer connected to the Internet, because Tang Lei had a computer in his backpack at any time. Carrying test tubes and other dangerous things, he also relied on the certificates he had to get through customs, but it was not that exaggerated. The chemicals were bought locally after getting off the plane, so Tang Lei was completely able to get through the customs. This issue was resolved in the office.
Tang Lei nodded and sat on the chair. Luo Sichen disturbed Tang Lei and took Xuehu out of the office. Outside the office was the construction site. The excavator on the construction site was parked aside. It had not been started for two days. This time It was Luo Sichen's order. He didn't want to destroy everything at the scene, maybe he could still find something. Looking at the slightly red mud and a few weeds growing up, Luo Sichen shook his head. Xuehu saw that Luo Sichen seemed very upset and asked quickly: "What's wrong with you? Sichen."
"I'm thinking about a question." Luo Sichen turned to look at Xue Hu.
Xuehu looked at Luo Sichen and asked, "What are you thinking about?"
"I was wondering if, as I was told, that coffin is very important to the headless ghost..." Luo Sichen actually had more on his mind. He was still thinking about whether that method was feasible.
When Xue Hu heard what Luo Sichen said, he hurriedly expressed his opinion: "In my opinion, it is very possible. Moreover, I think the pattern on the coffin is also related to the ghost. I think that is the right one." He is very important."
"Smart." Luo Sichen put his hands in his trousers pockets and nodded. He knew that what he thought was right, but he was not sure that he could use the coffin to lure the headless ghost out, so before taking action, he had to try his best to Learn more about the background of this coffin and the meaning of the patterns on the coffin.
