Paranormal Investigation Notes

Chapter 232 Dali Culture
The worship of this so-called god of fate sleeping in the sarcophagus may have begun thousands of years ago in ancient times.

At that time, this cave was just a small natural cave.

In this small cave, there is a solid sarcophagus that cannot be confirmed to be naturally formed or artificially carved.In that barbaric era, the ancient ancestors may have discovered the mystery it possesses, and may have begun to sacrifice it to obtain some "gifts".

Lu Ming suddenly sounded that when searching the manor under the name of the Fate Organization, there were still some ancient items in the list of seized items.At that time, I didn't pay much attention to it. I just generally thought that it was collected by the Fate Organization. The so-called sacred objects and other things related to worship and belief, but now combined with the conclusions analyzed by rock experts, I realized that there may be some hidden meanings in it. With some other things.

Lu Ming told his guess.He Wei immediately dialed the numbers of the archaeological experts who stayed in the evidence analysis room and got in touch with them.

"Hello, Professor Wang, may I ask, have you analyzed the source of those ancient artifacts?"

"At present, it can only be confirmed that these ancient objects originated from at least 3000 years ago, and they are typical bronzes. But now there is no way to tell which civilization or culture they belong to. There are not many cultural marks on them. If we can know where they are from Where they were unearthed, combined with the region, may be able to further understand them."

Lu Ming answered the phone and asked, "Professor Wang, here, in Shanbei City or its surrounding areas, did ancient human culture exist in that era?"

Professor Wang paused, and said with a wry smile: "If you want to talk about ancient human culture, there is indeed one, but I don't know much about it. I only vaguely remember that it was named 'Dali Culture'. This culture is relatively common and relatively small. The peak stage has developed to the stage where copper and stone are mixed, and bronzes can be smelted by themselves, but it has not developed to be used on a large scale. I don’t know much about others.”

Lu Ming mused, "Is it relatively small? Then, Professor Wang, can you recommend me an expert who understands this culture better?"

Professor Wang said: "To be honest, this culture is not worth studying. After all, other cultures at the same time have even entered the civilization stage, or officially entered the Bronze Age. Uh, but I happen to know an expert who studies Dali culture. But...it might be inconvenient for him to come out."

"It's not convenient to come out? What do you mean?"

Professor Wang's voice was a little low: "His name is Wen Cheng. Two years ago, he was imprisoned for the crime of reselling cultural relics. It should take two or three years before he comes out."

Knowing the name makes it easy to find people.As for going to jail or something, Lu Ming didn't care.

With the authority of the Second Action Team, it doesn't take much effort to find a prisoner to ask something.

"Okay, thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ming looked at Zhang Dingshan.

Zhang Dingshan pondered for a moment.

"There is no clear clue yet. It's good to consult this Wen Cheng. You can handle this matter."

"it is good."

Lu Ming agreed.

In the history calculated in units of thousands of years, the existence of mountains, caves and the like will not produce much change.Since traces of bronze ware were found in this cave, and there is an ancient culture here, and this culture has developed to the end of the Neolithic Age, and can manufacture and use bronze ware on a small scale, then maybe this Dali culture, There is still some connection with this sarcophagus of the god of fate.

It is very likely that the cave where this sarcophagus is located was excavated by the Dali Culture in its early days.

Zhang Dingshan continued to make follow-up arrangements: "That's it. I'll check the luck of those members of the Destiny Organization, and whether it has improved after they started participating in the sacrifice. He Wei, you contact Qing Liang, and the organization uses pigs, cattle and sheep as pawns. Regarding the sacrificial offerings to the sarcophagus, Lu Ming, you should go find Wen Cheng."

"Yes."

After finalizing these matters, the three separated.

Knowing Wen Cheng's name, Lu Ming went to the local Public Security Bureau, found Zhou Chang, did a simple search, and found out immediately.

This Wen Cheng is a native of Shanbei City, and he is serving his sentence at the Shanbei City Prison.At the beginning, maybe he became interested in this Dali culture because it was his local ancient culture, and became one of the few researchers of this unpopular culture.

Knowing the relevant information about Wen Cheng, Lu Ming immediately came to the prison.After submitting the documents, they waited in the reception room for a while, and a middle-aged man, about five or sixty years old, with some flesh on his face, looked vicious and tactful, and was brought in.

When Lu Ming saw it, he felt that this person was not that kind of honest person, and he was a bit difficult to deal with.After thinking about it again, I felt relieved.

If this Wen Cheng was an honest person, how could he have the guts to engage in reselling cultural relics, and ended up in prison.

Wen Cheng was very respectful and humble to the prison security guard who brought him here.After the security guard left and closed the door, there were only Lu Ming and him left in the reception room, but the momentum was different.

He sat across from Lu Ming carelessly, and glanced at Lu Ming: "Who are you? What do you want from me?"

Lu Ming said with a smile: "Hello, Professor Wen, I heard that you have a lot of research on the local Dali culture in Shanbei City, so I came to see you, mainly because I wanted to consult you about something. Oh, by the way, I will bring you A little gift."

Lu Ming placed a big bag on the table.Inside are some fruits, instant noodles, bread, cigarettes and the like.

Wen Cheng clicked his tongue, pulled the bag and turned it over, and laughed twice: "What do you want to consult me?"

"A lot. Everything you know about Dali culture."

"Then... that's not enough."

Wen Cheng casually pulled the big bag aside: "Young man, which unit do you belong to? It's not easy to come to this prison to find me."

Lu Ming frowned slightly.

Wen Cheng's behavior made him a little uncomfortable.I wanted to reprimand him a few words, but felt that I was here to beg for help after all, which was not appropriate.

Lu Ming raised his head and looked directly into Wen Cheng's eyes calmly: "You don't have to worry about which unit I belong to. Just tell me whether you are willing to cooperate. If you cooperate, it will be to your advantage. If you do not cooperate , I will leave immediately."

Wen Cheng chuckled: "Dali culture is a minority culture. It's me, a local, who is interested in it. I dare say no other archeology can compare to me. If you want to go, just go .”

Lu Ming frowned, stood up and came to the door, opened the door, and said, "It's over, take him away."

Two security guards came in, one on the left and one on the right with Wen Chengcheng in their arms and left.Wen Cheng walked halfway, but turned his head back.

"Young man, I'm waiting for you to come to me again."

Lu Ming returned to the reception room and called Lu Qingliang.

"Qingliang, here in Shanbei City, there is an ancient culture called Dali Culture. Please consult an archaeological expert and help me find an expert who has enough research on this culture."

"No problem, wait, up to 10 minutes."

In less than 10 minutes, Lu Qingliang called back.

"I've asked you about it. This Dali culture is relatively unpopular, and there are not many experts who study it. But there happens to be one expert who studies it deeply, named Wen Cheng."

"Wen Cheng?"

Lu Ming smiled wryly: "Is there anything else? This Wen Cheng..."

Lu Ming recounted the meeting just now.

"I can see that he must have very difficult conditions. If his conditions are not met, he will not cooperate. I am too lazy to deal with such people."

Lu Qingliang was a little bit embarrassed: "It's really hard to find other people. Other experts, at most, are studying other cultures, and at the same time they study this Dali culture to see if there is any communication between the two different cultures. Except for this Wen Cheng, there is really no one who has studied Dali culture."

As he said that, Lu Qingliang's tone changed again: "Wen Cheng is not easy to deal with, is he? Or, let me do it? Guaranteed to handle it for you."

His tone was full of eagerness to try.

Lu Ming shook his head: "You don't need to take action on such a small matter. During this period of time, there are many things that need your cooperation in logistics. You should stay at the headquarters honestly."

Lu Qingliang was a little disappointed: "Then, it's fine. If you can't figure it out, then come to me."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ming thought for a moment, then called the security officer again: "Bring Wen Cheng."

A moment later, Wen Cheng was brought over again.

This time, Wen Cheng's eyes were slightly surprised and eager.

After the security guard left, Wen Cheng clicked his tongue twice: "It was found out in such a short period of time that no one else has enough research on Dali culture except me? I thought you would have to come to me in two or three days."

He looked Lu Ming up and down, the eagerness in his eyes was like a beggar seeing roast chicken, or a poor ghost seeing gold, which made Lu Ming feel uncomfortable.

Lu Ming snorted coldly: "Tell me your conditions."

Wen Cheng is obviously five or sixty years old, but at the moment he is full of carefree temperament.He laughed again, which made Lu Ming feel a little angry, and then he said, "If it were someone else, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to meet my conditions. But if you can find out so quickly without me, maybe you can really satisfy me." I.

My condition is very simple.Now, I have two years and six months left in my sentence.I can help you, how about letting me get out of prison within a month?
I will inquire about the specific handling methods for you. I have helped you. You count me as a meritorious service. Just operate it and commute my sentence for two years and five months, and the matter will be settled. "

Lu Ming frowned again.

The Second Action Team does have this authority.Even, if necessary, it is not impossible to take Wen Cheng away on the spot now.

But... with great authority comes great responsibility.If you use the power in your hands at will, what is the difference between the second team in action and the sixteenth team in action?
Lu Ming shook his head directly: "This is impossible. Wen Cheng, I can promise you that if you cooperate with me, after the matter is over, I can use the name of my unit to send a letter of commendation to the prison where you are, and Suggestion—note, it is a suggestion. It is suggested that they start the meritorious service award process for you. However, I will not intervene in whether it can be achieved in the end, whether the sentence can be commuted, and how long the commutation can be reduced. In addition, I will give you a sum of money Bonus. The amount is still uncertain, but it should be more than 20 Renminbi."

20 Renminbi is quite a lot, enough to buy a mid-range car.

Wen Cheng looked at Lu Ming playfully: "Young man, this is not acceptable. You can either promise me, or you can find someone else, and you can figure it out."

Lu Ming's tone suddenly became severe: "It is the duty of every citizen to cooperate with the Public Security Bureau in handling the case. If you refuse to cooperate, believe it or not, I will notify the prison to lock you up in the dark room?"

Wen Cheng suddenly sat upright, his face was full of horror, and his voice was full of urgency: "Young man, don't, don't, I will cooperate with you, cooperate with you, and I will cooperate with you in whatever you want."

Ok?
Lu Ming couldn't understand Wen Cheng's rapid transformation.But he still kept a cold face: "Sort out everything you know about Dali culture for me."

"What Dali culture? I don't understand."

Wen Cheng said pitifully, his face full of innocence.

Anger welled up in Lu Ming's heart: "You're playing a scoundrel, right? I'll close your little black room immediately!"

Wen Cheng immediately began to beg for mercy: "Officer, if you don't know what kind of culture you don't break the law, right? Why lock me up in a small black room? I'll start learning immediately when I go back, okay? Please, let me go, I'm just an honest person , I really don’t know! Help me! I’m bullying you!”

The two security guards guarding the door rushed in immediately, looking at Wen Cheng warily.Wen Cheng pointed at Lu Ming and yelled: "This police officer said that because I am uneducated, I will be locked up in the dark room! My God! Is it illegal to be uneducated?"

Lu Ming suddenly slapped the table and stood up angrily.

The old rascal!
"Take it away, take it away!"

Two security guards dragged and dragged Wen Cheng away.Lu Ming was still angry.

The first visit to Wen Cheng failed.The next day, Lu Ming came to Shanbei City Prison again, and saw Wen Cheng again in the reception room.

This time, Lu Ming didn't talk nonsense with him, and directly slapped a portfolio on the table.

Wen Cheng was a little puzzled, but he still opened the file bag, took out the documents inside, and looked at them.After a while, his face turned livid.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Lu Ming's mouth.

"Wen Cheng, you are amazing. Before I checked you, I didn't know that you did so many things besides the crime of reselling cultural relics. Stealing property, right?"

Wen Cheng looked at the document in his hand, and saw a figure walking out of a mobile phone store.The figure didn't capture the frontal face, but he could clearly recognize it as himself.

"Tax evasion, right?"

Below the file is a series of numbers.The final amount was 9.65 Renminbi.The name of the company is the one run by Wen Cheng before he was imprisoned.

"The prosecution didn't know these things before, right? Tell me, if I hand over this file, how long can your sentence... be extended? One year? Two years?"

Wen Cheng suddenly patted down the document in his hand and stared at Lu Ming fiercely.Lu Ming smiled lightly and said, "I can't reduce your sentence, but it's still possible to increase your sentence. Whether you want to increase your sentence or not is up to you to choose."
