After knowing that Zhang Yi Yuan had a ghost, I installed a bug in his car.
At that time, on the rooftop, the agreed meeting place between him and the fierce-looking man was the parking lot on the negative third floor.
On the appointed date, I saw the fierce-looking man looking around and getting into Zhang Yi Yuan's car.
I couldn't see the actions inside the car from a distance.
But through the bug, I heard a rustling sound of rummaging through bags.
Zhang Yi Yuan spoke first:
"Jing'an District Wetland Park, about two kilometers east, the local villagers dug up some trinkets."
"I personally identified the items. It should be a tomb from the Tang Dynasty."
"But this information can only be kept secret for a maximum of three months."
"After that, you'll have to report and apply for protection and excavation. You need to act quickly."
The fierce-looking man was very satisfied and kept his promise, handing the ancient book to Zhang Yi Yuan:
"Pages 22 to 23 contain the information you want to know."
Then there was the sound of flipping pages.
A few minutes later, Zhang Yi Yuan finished reading the two pages, looking shocked.
I heard him mutter in a low voice:
"...How could this be?"
The fierce-looking man smirked and said:
"Surprised? The Empress from a thousand years ago has long turned to ashes. There's no such thing as a real tomb."
My heart tightened as I listened.
Cheng Yangli had already turned to ashes?
Does that mean the female corpse is my sister, Lin Jun?
However, their subsequent conversation made me doubt.
"As for the female corpse you dug up, it's probably just a buried maid."
The fierce-looking man mockingly taunted Zhang Yi Yuan:
"Too bad, our Director Zhang, you can give up on using her to gain promotion now."
As soon as the female corpse was mentioned, Zhang Yi Yuan became cautious:
"Did you touch that female corpse three years ago?"
The fierce-looking man denied it.
He said that shortly after entering the tomb, he triggered a mechanism, causing the burial chamber to collapse.
Everyone came back almost empty-handed.
Not to mention the female corpse, he didn't even touch the tomb coffin.
"If I had known it was Cheng Yangli's tomb, I would have risked my life to take something out."
As I listened to his words, my brows furrowed.
The excavation site of Cheng Yangli's tomb was near our village.
It was only about three kilometers from my ancestral home, where Lin Jun disappeared.
And three years ago, the timing of their tomb raid coincided perfectly with Lin Jun's disappearance.
I said I didn't believe in coincidences.
My intuition told me that Lin Jun's disappearance must have a strong connection to them.
Of course, more than anyone else, I didn't want my only sister to become a pile of bones.
But if the female corpse in the tomb coffin is really her.
Then I will definitely find the truth and bring her home.
