These people are all non-staff personnel. They have no status in the archaeological team and their salaries are very low.

After hearing Professor Li's words, meaningful smiles appeared on their faces.

After finishing speaking, Professor Li asked them to have a good rest outside, and then entered the ancient tomb himself.

He doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, and he has prepared everything a long time ago. Now he is entering the ancient tomb alone without worrying about problems.

The other staff members watched him walk in from outside and speculated on his thoughts.

"Is this a university professor?"

"He used to be a peasant, didn't you know?"

"I really don't know."

"As long as you can make money, why do you care so much?"

The staff decided to pretend not to notice and continued to eat their barbecue.

This barbecue was also a rabbit they hunted nearby, and they usually had no money to buy meat.

Chen Youyou rested outside and then set off in the direction of the ancient tomb.

Except for Professor Li, they did not notice that there were some people looking at them in the darkness.

One of them, a taller man, saw Professor Li progressing into the ancient tomb and cursed: "Why can this person go in directly? Is he a staff member?"

"It would be bad if there were staff inside."

This is a team of tomb robbers. They heard that there was an ancient tomb from the Song Dynasty here, and rushed over after hearing the sound.

But there was someone guarding the door, so they couldn't go in directly.

Fortunately, Professor Li brought wine. Judging from the fact that they were full and full, it would not be long before they went to the toilet and then took a nap.

They are waiting for such an opportunity.

However, Professor Li entered the ancient tomb himself, which may affect their progress.

The leader said: "It doesn't matter, he's just an old man. If you encounter him, just kill him."

They were originally tomb robbers, and they had done such things as murder and robbery.

As long as their interests are not touched, they absolutely do not mind using unconventional means.

However, if they want to survive in this society, they still have to hide themselves.

Therefore, they must not do anything until the staff have taken a nap.

Just watching silently in the darkness.

The next day, Captain Chen came to the university guest house and found Lin Ran and the others.

"Captain Liu, I would like to ask you to go to the ancient tomb with me again." Captain Chen said directly to Liu Jingfeng.

"What's wrong?" Liu Jingfeng frowned, "Didn't you agree to go in a few days later? Why have you changed your mind now?"

"Hey, I plan to go in and take some photos of the bronze coffin. Having photos will be more convincing, right?"

"Then you can go down by yourself." Liu Jingfeng didn't like him at all. He felt that this person was very different from the archaeological team members he had met before. He was just a businessman who was only interested in profit.

Ever since he met Lin Ran, he thought people in this industry were more selfless.

Captain Chen really slapped him in the face.

Captain Chen said disapprovingly: "Aren't we also doing archaeological research? Captain Liu, you are also from the capital, you should understand what I mean, right?"

When Liu Jingfeng was thinking of a way to refuse, Lin Ran said: "Promise him."

Seeing Lin Ran's expression, Liu Jingfeng knew that he had other plans, so he nodded in agreement.

They took Captain Chen's car and went directly to the construction site.

But as soon as they arrived at the construction site, they saw that the staff originally arranged here were lying on the ground and fast asleep.

Captain Chen suddenly became furious and kicked them while they were still sleeping.

"What are you doing? I asked you to look at the ancient tomb, why are you sleeping here?"

Captain Chen said angrily.

The staff was still drunk at this time, but after seeing Captain Chen, they were also a little confused.

However, they still concealed Professor Li's matter and just kept apologizing, saying that they were too tired last night and fell asleep unknowingly.

Although Captain Chen cursed, there was nothing he could do to them.

These non-staff personnel have no professionalism in the first place, as long as they are not guarding and stealing, it will be fine.

Anyway, in a place like this, it is unlikely that a team of tomb robbers will come.

He decided not to argue with the staff anymore and led Liu Jingfeng and the others into the ancient tomb again.

Because of their previous experience, they came in more prepared this time.

As arranged by Captain Chen, many lights were placed in the ancient tomb.

Moreover, these lighting lamps have sufficient power, so they are always placed like this, illuminating the inside clearly.

Now that there is no interference from others, it is certainly easier for Lin Ran to conduct research.

He is now standing in the first tomb, and everything in it has been emptied.

He recalled that when he came here for the first time, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

So he turned his attention to the previous wooden door, which had been demolished by Wang Jinpeng. At that time, he only thought that the wooden door was decayed and collapsed due to disrepair, so he had not paid attention to it before.

But now, he found something was wrong.

Because the structure of this wooden door is somewhat different from other wooden doors.

There are also many wooden doors in other tombs.

He roughly remembered the shape of the wooden door and asked, "I thought you had taken the wooden door away."

"A wooden door has little research value." Captain Chen replied calmly.

They continued walking forward and came to the second tomb.

This wooden door looks much more complete.

Continuing to walk forward, Lin Ran finally noticed something.

That is, the structure of the wooden door becomes more complete as you go inside.

They just kept going and were confused by the same scene, so they didn't pay much attention to the situation above the wooden door.

From this point of view, this wooden door still has another mystery.

But what does this really mean?

Lin Ran was calculating in his heart, and he couldn't make a guess at the moment.

But just then, he noticed footprints on the ground.

And asked curiously: "Captain Chen, did you arrange for someone to come in after we left?"

Captain Chen immediately denied it: "How is that possible? I asked them to install lights inside and then left. I was still present at the time."

"What about these footprints?" Lin Ran thought to himself, but did not say these words out loud.

In fact, he probably guessed that it was Professor Li, thinking back to the caretaker who was sleeping outside before.

"It's nothing." Lin Ran smiled. He didn't think Professor Li would kill them because of the ancient tomb, so he didn't take it seriously.
