Tomb Raiders Fake BG "Soul of the Sword"

Chapter 44 The Secret in the Box

Early the next morning, the four of them asked Agui's daughter to take them to Zhang Qiling's old residence.

This old-looking tall building is hidden by the surrounding buildings and is not conspicuous.It can be seen that it has a sense of dilapidation that has been neglected all year round.

"Several bosses, this place hasn't been lived in for a long time, what's so interesting about you coming here?" Agui's eldest daughter looked at these strangers strangely.

Wu Xie smiled perfunctorily, and winked at the fat man.The latter understood, and took out a few banknotes from his pocket and gave them to the girl: "Big sister, this is the money for the way. You go back first, we will stroll around, take some photos and go back."

The girl was still puzzled, but since she had money to accept, her work was over, so she curled her lips and left without asking any further questions.

As soon as the people left, after confirming that there was no one around, they immediately started to fight.Fatty made a brilliant move, and pried open the embroidered lock in a few strokes.

"I said why are you so proficient." Wu Xie saw that the fat man's movements were as smooth as flowing water, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice: "Tell me, have you done it before?"

"The difference between tomb robber and thief is only one word, okay?" The fat man replied indifferently.

This guy definitely has the qualifications to be a thief.

But this idea immediately turned around when the three of them entered the house.Yes, three people.

Can anyone tell when the black one that was sitting on the windowsill came in? ?

"The window is open, it's too troublesome to walk around from the door." A certain sword soul jumped down from the window sill and patted the hem of the skirt.

Then let me enter through the main entrance! ! !Wu Xie already wanted to kneel to some two in his heart: "You climbed the window so recklessly, what if someone sees you?"

"Don't worry, I've confirmed that no one nearby turned in."

This dialogue is so familiar, so familiar that it makes people angry.Wu Xie silently apologized to the fat man, this woman is the most potential thief, she can disappear without anyone noticing and then reappear without anyone noticing.

It's exactly the same as the owner of her stuffy oil bottle.

Knowing that what he said was just to be angry with himself, Wu Xie turned his attention to Zhang Qiling's room.

There are not a lot of necessary daily necessities, and there are none of the unnecessary things.It really fits Zhang Qiling's personality.

Plain to the point of being boring.

Similar to his other two residences, it seems that this is indeed Zhang Qiling's residence.

She swept across the hall hastily, then turned and entered the study.

The moment the door was pushed open, the dust scattered and choked her, so she walked quickly to the window and opened it for air.

Next to the window sill is an old-fashioned writing desk with a layer of glass on it, on which many old photos are pressed.

The glass on the countertop has traces of being moved recently. It should be that the bald Chu that Wu Xie said lifted the glass when he came and took away the photo of the black shadow.

She wiped the dust on the glass with her cuff, and the few photos on it gradually became clearer.

Many of the characters in the photos are familiar to Ajiu, Huo Ling, Xie Lianhuan, Qi Yu, Chen Wenjin... Sure enough, Zhang Qiling had already contacted the archaeological team at this time?

"Huh?" Her eyes were attracted by the photo under the group photo of the archaeological team. Although only one corner was exposed in that photo, Ajiu still saw half of the person's face in the photo.

"This is..." Her pupils narrowed, and she wiped the glass to see more clearly.

That's right, it's him.

But why is this person's picture here?

Why did Zhang Qiling know about him?

Then everything before this...?

Is he...

Something is about to burst out of my mind.

The sound of planks being torn interrupted Ajiu's train of thought, and when she turned her head, she saw Zhang Qiling destroying the floor of her own house, and then took out a suitcase from inside.

"Brother, what is this?"

"Sharp weapon? Haha, brother, you really are an upside-down, and you even set up a hidden compartment to hide the treasure?"

All three of them focused on the box that had been dug out.Ah Jiu lifted the glass, secretly took out the photo, and hid it in his pocket.

"What are you looking at?" She walked over and asked nonchalantly.

"This box. I found it under my brother's bed." Wu Xie pointed to the black box on the ground: "But my brother said that it contains dangerous goods and cannot be opened."

Dangerous goods?She glanced at Zhang Qiling suspiciously, while the latter was frowning intently and staring at the box in a daze.

"This is yours, right?" Ajiu knelt down and looked at the box.

"Sister Jiu...Girl, are you talking nonsense. The things under my brother's bed are of course my brother's."

"No, that's not what I meant." She paused, then turned to look at her master: "I mean what's inside."

Seeing that she hesitated to speak, Wu Xie knew there was a door, and asked, "Ajiu, do you know what's inside?"

Ajiu shook her head, kept her eyes on Zhang Qiling, and said something strange: "Although it's very faint, there's a smell similar to yours emanating from this box. Do you really have no impression of it?"

The three of them were stunned.

"What smell? Body odor?" The fat man said without thinking.Wu Xie glared at him, and at the same time moved her nose to smell the 'smell'.

Strangely, he didn't smell anything.

"Ajiu, can you be more specific about what it smells like?"

Ajiu shook her head.

The atmosphere fell into silence again.

Generally speaking, if a person carries an item with him for a long time, the item will be stained with that person's 'smell'.The police often take advantage of this and give the suspect's items to the police dogs to sniff, and then the police dogs can follow the smell to find people along the way.

Let’s not mention whether this was carried by the little brother back then. This thing has been placed here for more than ten years. Even if it smells, it should be gone. Then why did Ajiu suddenly say that?

Humans' sense of smell sensitivity is completely impossible to smell subtle smells, because she is the soul of the sword, so the sense of smell is superior to others?

Probably not, she has never shown that her sense of taste is superior to others.

Then why is she so sensitive this time.Wu Xie couldn't figure it out.

"Then do you feel anything... the spiritual field or something?" Remembering that Ajiu used to talk about the spiritual power and the spiritual field, Wu Xie wondered if Zhang Qiling felt something bad. scientific stuff.

Ajiu denied: "There is no special feeling, except for the taste."

"..."

The three of them and one ghost just stared at the box silently, trying to think about how to deal with it, when suddenly they heard the sound of someone knocking on the floor below.

<<<<<

The purpose of the person who broke in from under the secret compartment was the box in their hands.Due to the tacit cooperation between Wu Xie and Fatty, the box was saved, but the person who snatched the box ran away.

"Damn! There are all kinds of thieves now. They even snatch this kind of thing." The fat man wiped the sweat off his face and clicked his tongue.

Wu Xie didn't even bother to complain about him and went to check the box by himself, so Ajiu took over this task.

"Thieves won't come to snatch this kind of thing. That person is here for this, and he probably knows what's in it." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Zhang Qiling.

Hearing this, Wu Xie and Fatty were both taken aback, the box that was half lifted by Fatty gave a bang, the lock snapped, and a heavy black lump rolled out.

They thought it was a bomb or poison or something dangerous, but a few people reflexively blocked it with their hands. Unexpectedly, there was no movement for a long time, so they amplified their courage and walked forward.

Wu Xie stretched out his hand, and just as he was about to take it, he was slapped back by the fat man.He rubbed the reddened back of his hand, and watched the fat man take out a pair of white sterilized gloves from his pocket with a look of eating flies.It's just that the size of the rubber gloves is not suitable, and it is tightly strung on the fat man's palm, which looks a little funny.

"Where did you get the gloves?"

"Carry it with you, isn't it a must for Holmes?"

Is it? !

"This is……"

Unexpectedly, there was an iron block hidden in the Pandora's Box under Zhang Qi's coffin.Because it has been rusted for a long time, if you don't hold it carefully and weigh it in your hand, you really don't know it is iron.

One side of the iron block is uneven, as if it has been melted by some strong acid, it is very ugly.

Just looking at this, I really can't think of anything, but it is impossible for Zhang Qiling to hide under the bed and protect it tightly, it has no meaning at all.At this time, let's brainstorm.

"Hey, do you have any impression of this thing? Ah... Jiu?"

The person who had been behind until just now was completely gone.

No one heard anything, and no one noticed when she left.

The three looked at each other.

Well where did this go?

Just as Wu Xie was about to say something else, Zhang Qiling pressed his shoulder and raised his chin.

Looking in the direction he indicated, I saw a few poorly dressed villagers standing on the hillside carrying a load, looking at them with gloomy faces.

Wu Xie took a breath.

When did they stand there?

——"Don't worry, I've confirmed that no one nearby turned in."

Ah Jiu couldn't miss it.

There was no one around, at least when they came in.Since when did these people stand there?

After all, it is not a village that communicates too much with the outside world, and there must be many villagers who feel xenophobic.And they just broke into the houses in broad daylight, did they anger these conservative villagers?

The fat man said in a low voice; "A good man doesn't suffer immediate losses, let's retreat now, and come later to investigate the situation."

"Then what about Ajiu?" Wu Xie replied in a low voice: "Maybe she has gone back to the house, could it be that she left her and ran?"

"She will find her own way." Zhang Qiling who had been silent all this time suddenly said, "Leave her alone.

"That's right, she might have left a long time ago, and if something really happens, she won't be at a disadvantage with her skill."

"..."

If you think about it carefully, you don't need to worry about her if you worry about anyone.

Nodding, the three left carefully.

Sitting by the stream, watching the girls playing in the lake, Wu Xie suddenly felt tired.A mess of clues were being sorted out in his head, and sleepiness surged up all of a sudden.

Chen Wenjin, what are they doing?

What is the iron block in the box?

Why did Ajiu leave so suddenly?
