Tomb Raider Gu Tomb Miscellaneous Notes

In the countryside, wind up at night to save electricity.

An oil lamp at the head of the room illuminated three figures.

I sat at the table with Dumen Dupai, with a small cup of Huadiao in front of each of us.Of course, a thief can't take the seat.

When this little thief begged for mercy, he never forgot to declare his family name. By the time we sat down to negotiate, I had heard his name more than ten times.

The thief's name is A Que, he has no father or mother, and his family lives in Hunan.

Ah Que looked at me and said tremblingly, "Master, is that enough?"

I looked at him, and now there is only a pair of underwear left on his whole body. I didn't expect to take off the night clothes. The inside is quite material, with all the muscles that should be there, well-proportioned, strong and strong.On an October day, the night dew was heavy in the countryside, and he was shivering there with his arms folded.

I glanced at the ground, and the sundries shaken out of his clothes were scattered everywhere, and I didn't see anything that belonged to us.

I put on airs and said, "It's nothing valuable, no wonder it was stolen from our rural farmers."

"That's right, it's not going well recently, the people in the city are poor, and there's only two cents in a purse when you go out, and it's useless to steal a bunch of cards, alas." A Que sighed to express his helplessness, and then squeezed out another one at me. With a smile, the small eyes became two slits, "Look, take it off, I'm going to—"

I said seriously, "What are you doing next? Do you really want to warm your bed? Stand by the wall!"

"Oh……"

For some unknown reason, the unique faction suddenly jumped off the chair at this moment, ran to the pile of sundries, and squatted down to pick and choose.I'm used to him doing things illogically, so I didn't pay attention at first, until he picked out a small stone figure and put it on the table, with a strange look and shining eyes, as if he was shocked by the figure.

When I took a closer look, I realized that it was not a portrait.

At first glance, the stone statue is very ordinary, only about ten centimeters high. It can be held in one hand. It is blue-gray in color, and it is hard to tell what kind of stone it is. , a bit like the monster described in "Shan Hai Jing".Some parts have bright colors remaining, and it can be seen that they should have been painted with gold powder, silver powder, cinnabar, etc., especially the painted patterns are still left on the clothing.

This kind of painting, I, an apprentice who has just started, can also see that this thing is a little old.

The more you look at the Dumen Dupai, the more dignified his expression becomes. I heard him murmur, "Could it be that this is the tenth..."

I asked curiously: "What is the tenth?"

The Dumen Dupai bit his mouth and beckoned: "Young thief, come here!"

A Que turned his head and pointed to his nose: "Call me?"

Dumen Dupai nodded: "Quick, come here!" But his eyes were fixed on the stone statue all the time, as if he was afraid that the stone statue would disappear in a blink of an eye.

I don't know what the master is doing, and his curiosity has been aroused by him, but I know that I can't ask questions at this time, otherwise, with the master's temper, I will betray you instead.

A Que leaned over like a dog, with a flattering expression on his face: "Master, why did you summon me?"

I couldn't help laughing, this little thief is really interesting, he thinks he is a summoned beast.

With a serious face, the Dumen Dupai grabbed A Que's skirt and pulled him towards him, pointing to the stone statue and asking, "Where did you get this thing?"

A Que said blankly: "Master, I'm a thief, this thing...of course I stole it, ha ha."

The unique faction licked his lips: "Where did you steal it?"

"This……"

The independent faction threatened: "I can't think of it, I let my apprentice be you!"

I cried and shouted silently, master, this is not how my apprentice orders me!

A Que turned pale with fright, and hurriedly said: "I remember, I remember! It was stolen from a hotel! The tenant left the door open when he went out. I heard the door lock alarm ringing. There was no one on that floor at that time. There was no shadow at all, and it happened to be a corner, so I was greedy for a moment, so I went in and slipped around, and touched this thing out."

"When did you steal it?"

"Just today!" Ah Que didn't dare to neglect, and said, "In a small hotel in Baoshan District, I think this thing should be quite valuable and easy to carry, so..."

"Teacher, let's go to Shanghai now!"

The Dumen Dupai couldn't wait, put the stone statues in their arms, and dragged them up one by one with each hand. I told the little thief to leave.I was dizzy for a while, God knows why the master's madness suddenly became serious, so I hurriedly stopped him: "Master, where is the car going to Shanghai in the middle of the night, wait until tomorrow morning!"

The independent faction thought about it, but fortunately, it didn't stick to it.

At five o'clock in the morning of the next day, A Que and I were woken up by the gongs and drums of the independent sect. The three of us chartered a yellow crocodile car. The old ghost gritted his teeth before he took out the money and called a taxi.

On the way, I asked my master what was the origin of this stone statue, and the independent school played a trick and said: "What is this thing called Xingshi, and it is only on the roof of the Hall of Supreme Harmony."

As soon as Dumen Dupai said its name, I knew what it was: "This is a spine beast?!"

For some reason, the Hall of Supreme Harmony is unique. There are ten kinds of ridge beasts on its roof, so there are ten kinds of ridge beasts. "Xingshi" is the tenth ridge beast placed at the end. Among all ancient buildings, Only the Hall of Supreme Harmony has this kind of spine beast.Not long ago, we robbed King Ming's tomb on the ground and on the eaves of the sacrificial building. There were also ten ridge beasts. Why King Qi can enjoy the tomb treatment beyond the ninety-five supreme? answer.

The Independent School remained silent, and A Que looked at me blankly.I think there is still a driver in the car, so it's hard to say what secrets the stone statue has.But his expression seemed to be that there was a shocking secret buried in his heart, he couldn't tell, but he was full of worries.

I endured it, don't worry, I will figure it out sooner or later.

A Que led the way and took us to the hotel he mentioned.

The hotel is located on a secluded street, and it doesn't look very formal. After entering, we went to the counter and asked for someone. The lady at the counter didn't let us register our ID cards, so I asked for the room number. Ah Que reported the number, and then looked at it pitifully. with me.I understand what he's afraid of. He's a thief, and he's afraid to be a man wherever he goes. If people know his whereabouts, his career as a thief will be over.

I smiled at the counter lady and said, we can go upstairs and find it by ourselves.

The room is 419. We went to the fourth floor. As expected, the guest room was in a dead corner, and a wall at the corner completely blocked it. If you are not a tenant of this room, you would never come here.

The three of us were crowded at the door of the room, and we were a little bit at a loss for a while.

I looked at Dumen Dupai and said, "Knock on the door and go in?"

The solitary faction looked at A Que and said, "Pick the lock and get in?"

Ah Que looked at me again and said, "Master, I'd better invite you, I'm leaving!"

I grabbed A Que by the collar and dragged him back: "What are you running, if you run again, I'll call the police!"

As soon as he heard the word "policeman", his legs went limp.

"What are you three doing?"

Suddenly there was a voice from around the corner, which made the three of us tremble in fright. I almost regarded myself as a thief and wanted to run away.

An uncle in his forties walked around the three of us, went to the door, swiped his card, and then looked back at us: "Who are you, what are you doing here?"

I still reacted quickly, squeezed out a smile and said in a friendly way: "We are looking for someone—"

"Oh, looking for Xiao Mo?" The uncle laughed, "This kid said he has friends in Shanghai, so he wasn't lying to me."

I hurriedly used the Shanghai dialect: "Yes, yes, we are his friends!"

In fact, I don't know how I will meet Xiao Mo after I go in. From the beginning to the end, only the unique faction knows why we came here, and what I care about is why the master saw the stone statue. , there will be such a large reaction.

However, this lie no longer needs us to fulfill.Because when we walked into the room, we saw a thin young man lying on the bed, face up, with two big eyes open, looking at the ceiling absently, his face was full of horror and despair.

2.

Without taking a second look, we knew that the boy was dead.

The three of us were taken aback, only to hear the uncle stammering: "Guess, sure enough... It really came true...Ghost, this must be a ghost! The ghost is on the body, the ghost is on the body!!!!!!... "

We turned around and saw the sturdy uncle shivering like a little woman, huddled by the door, his face contorted in fear.Then before the three of us could react, he yelled, hugged his head and ran out of the room desperately.

The three of us were a little frightened at first, but we were dumbfounded by this uncle.

I look at the independent school, the independent school looks at A Que, and A Que looks at me.I said, "Call the police first!"

Ah Que yelled no, and started to run, I grabbed his collar again: "This is a murder case, why are you running!"

Ah Que cried out, "Master, I'm a thief, and I'm most afraid of seeing the police!"

"Old man," the independent faction stroked his beard, "I'm also afraid of the police."

Indeed, one steals the ground and the other steals the ground.

My head was dizzy, and I said to my mother, I am now a thief's apprentice, so why am I not conscious at all!

"It's impossible not to call the police. When the hotel waiter comes over to take a look, we will become suspects!"

I hold the phone, but my thumb is shaking.

After all, this was the first time I saw a murder scene with my own eyes, and the death of that young man was really shocking.It seems that at the moment before he died, he saw something terrifying, and his face was distorted like that. That kind of expression made people feel that what he saw might even be something unexplainable like a ghost, a terrifying force Slowly torture him to death.

It was as if death had come.

I'm not a coward, but when I saw the miserable condition of that young man, I couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.

And when the three of us looked over again, there was a woman squatting beside the bed at some point. Her long hair blocked her side face like a curtain, and she seemed to be carefully looking at the boy on the bed, pressing her slender fingers on the boy's neck. on the arteries.

She got up and said calmly: "He was poisoned by Gu, and died of the poison."

We are all surprised, when did this woman come in?

Because the three of us were standing in the hallway not far from the door, unless she was already in the room, if she came in from the outside, it would be impossible for the three of us not to notice.When we came in just now, there was no one else in the room except the boy's body.

I looked at Dumen Dupai and A Que, their expressions really showed that they were puzzled and surprised when this woman came in and how she came in.

I was about to ask this woman who she was, but the woman turned to me, looked at me with faint eyes, and my heart trembled inexplicably.

This woman is very charming, with a pretty face, icy skin and jade skin, star eyes and long eyelashes.

She was dressed in a plain purple dress, which was cold and had an iceberg-like glamorous beauty coming from her bones. Although she had put on makeup, if she didn't have a good foundation, she wouldn't be able to achieve this effect.For such a woman, a faint smile can often make a man fascinated.

I like tall and temperamental beauties, thin and bony, with slender legs.This woman happened to be the type I like, so I was so useless that her mind went blank.

It's a pity that the beauty didn't have any expression on her face, she glanced at us coldly, and said, "You guys go, I'll call the police."

I froze for a moment, thinking how could I lose face in front of such a beautiful woman, and hurriedly said: "How can we leave, it's not appropriate for a woman to do this kind of thing, the police will come and question you later, how do you deal with it? I'll call the police, You all get out of this room first!"

Dumen Dupai and A Que couldn't wait to leave quickly, so they withdrew outside the door in a blink of an eye.The woman lowered her eyes to look at the boy on the bed, and then took out sunglasses and perfume from her purse.

She sprayed some perfume on her neck and wrists, put on her sunglasses, walked past me, and walked out of the room.

This woman is surprisingly tall. I looked down and saw that she was wearing flat boots, but she was even taller than me. When she passed by me, the strong scent of perfume wafted from her body, which was elegant and fragrant, saying It's wonderful.

I was a little embarrassed, so I lowered my head and called 110.After the phone call, I suddenly remembered that the woman's behavior just now was very suspicious.

She seems too calm, she can still wear perfume and sunglasses in a room where someone just died, is this normal?

I rushed to the corridor, but the woman had disappeared without a trace, A Que asked me what was wrong, I was so frightened, I didn't know what to say.

I suspect that the woman has something to do with the boy's death. Although I don't want to suspect that she may be the suspect in the murder case, her overly calm behavior is really abnormal. As long as it is abnormal, there must be a reason.

Unfortunately, I was one step too late when I thought of this.

I made up my mind with the independent faction, and felt that it was not appropriate to stay at the scene of the crime in our identities. We went to the police station to make a statement, and it was over if we revealed all the facts.So, in the end, it was decided to dodge before the police arrived.

We left the hotel through the back door and walked a lot until we were sure we were far away from the hotel before we breathed a sigh of relief.

I asked the independent sect: "Master, what should we do now?"

The solitary faction grabbed A Que's hand, as if afraid that he would slip away, and said, "I have something to ask this thief, but I need to find a place to hide."

Whether the owner of the stone statue is the dead boy or the uncle who fled in fright, this clue seems to be broken here, and the unique faction can only start with A Que.Although I really want to know the secrets about the stone statues, I have a hunch that we won't be able to stay in Shanghai for long.

So I said: "Master, find a place to talk first, I want to go home."

I haven't been back to Shanghai for half a year, I want to go home and have a look, and I also want to contact Shen Er, if I get into any trouble, see if he can help.

This is really an inexplicable disaster. I suddenly got involved in a murder case. There is no reason in it. I did nothing, but I can't face the police squarely. It seems that I may have to hide for a while. Fleeing with the police.

The Dumen Dupai said that Ah Ling had a flower shop nearby, and they planned to go to Ah Ling's shop.Let's leave it at that.

When I got downstairs, I remembered that I hadn’t cleared the mailbox for a long time, so I found the key and opened the mailbox. Sure enough, it was already full of various advertising newspapers and leaflets.

After I emptied the mailbox, I went upstairs with a pile of papers, flipped through them as I walked, and sorted out the utility bills.

In this way, I saw a letter.
