As long as I see him next, it will be Professor Li who is embarrassed.

They kept walking.Soon we arrived at the sixth tomb.

He originally expected to see Professor Li here, but he was surprised because the things inside had not changed at all. The chains were still there, the gold bricks were also there, and there were no traces of being tampered with.

"We previously thought about removing the gold bricks, but the gold bricks seemed to be stuck on the coffin." Captain Chen explained.

It turned out that it was for this reason that he wanted to dig up the coffin from the ground.

However, their job this time was not to dig, but to take pictures.

Captain Chen took out his camera.

Cameras in this era were very precious. After he took out the camera, he asked Wang Jinpeng and others to hold cloths and get close to the coffin while he took pictures.

Wang Jinpeng and the others were naturally unhappy, but they still followed Lin Ran's instructions and did as he wished.

At this moment, Lin Ran was patiently observing the chain.

These eight chains protruded from the surrounding coffins, and were then attached to the bronze coffin.

Some of it is buried underground.

Why is it designed this way?

Is the underground empty?

Lin Ran was puzzled.

But at this moment, he noticed something strange.

Ignoring Captain Chen's taking pictures, he came to the coffin and squatted down.

"What's the matter with you?" Captain Chen squinted his eyes and looked at Lin Ran, feeling that this kid was a little too messy.

Lin Ran was looking at the footprints on the ground.

In order not to affect the progress of the exploration inside, they and the archaeological team wore the same shoes, just so as not to interfere with the research.

However, the footprints on the ground were very messy, and there were some shoe prints that he had never seen before.

Lin Ran felt a little weird when he saw the shoe print.

Besides them, there were other people who came, and it should have been yesterday!

Lin Ran told Captain Chen about this discovery, and Captain Chen's eyes widened at first.

Although he is not very professional in archeology, he is still very strict in management.

Seeing the footprints on the ground, he understood that someone had indeed been here.

He immediately called the staff at the door in with a serious expression and asked them what was going on?

The staff were scared to death and they didn't dare lose their jobs.

In comparison, money is no longer the most important thing.

And what surprised them was that Professor Li was not in the ancient tomb.

Captain Chen looked very surprised when he heard that Professor Li came last night.

"Why, Professor Li, he came here alone."

The staff looked at each other. They didn't expect to be exposed so quickly, so they could only lower their heads and say, "Yes."

By the way, I told him what happened last night.

Captain Chen felt that this was a big headache. Professor Li was highly respected and could be regarded as a full-time consultant to the archaeological team, so something like this could happen.

"What about the people you teach?" Captain Chen asked.

"I don't know. We fell asleep outside." The staff lowered their heads. They didn't know what happened.

Professor Li promised them that he would give them a share of the pie, but he didn't say anything to them when he left. This incident made them feel unhappy.

That's why they sold it so thoroughly.

Captain Chen said: "Go to the university now and call Professor Li over, and tell him that Captain Chen has something to do with him."

Captain Chen said with an ugly expression.

Although he also had selfish motives, he had absolutely no intention of setting up the ancient tomb. The contents inside were all studied and prepared to be handed over to the museum.

Unexpectedly, Professor Li wanted to monopolize it. This matter was very serious for him.

Lin Ran and the others remained silent, not intending to interfere in their internal problems.

However, he felt a little strange.

The footprints on the ground were obviously not Professor Li's alone. It was obvious that there were other people coming.

But what about so many people?

The things in the ancient tomb were not touched. They just came to take a look and then left.

This makes no sense.

And Professor Li shouldn’t come here for no reason!

He had a vague feeling that Professor Li might be in trouble.

Not long after, the staff came running back.

He said with a pale face: "Professor Li is not in the school. It is said that he never went back after leaving the dormitory last night."

Upon hearing this, their expressions changed.

"Damn it! What on earth is Lao Li doing?" Captain Chen cursed.

"I think there's something wrong." Lin Ran said, "How about we open the coffin now and take a look?"

He vaguely felt that something was wrong with this matter.

Captain Chen immediately objected: "I haven't made a report yet."

"Now is not the time to think about making a report." After Lin Ran finished speaking, he ordered Wang Jinpeng and the others to start unlocking.

Although Captain Chen felt helpless, he was also afraid of problems.

If the contents of the coffin were removed, their efforts would be in vain.

In desperation, we can only cooperate with Wang Jinpeng and others.

Fortunately, this iron lock is not particularly strong. After all, it is made of copper.

They took shovels and other tools and pried the coffin out.

But by this time they were extremely tired. They had used a lot of effort and everyone was sweating profusely.

"Be careful! Don't damage the bottom of the coffin." Lin Ran explained.

"Understood." Wang Jinpeng and Xu Ning gritted their teeth and started digging again.

Not long after, most of the coffin was exposed to the ground.

After all, they were professional local masters and had considerable experience when digging, so they did not cause any damage.

Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that most of the coffin had been dug out.

Captain Li was a little stunned. He didn't expect these people to work so efficiently. He originally thought that he would need at least some excavators to cooperate with the machinery to dig out.

Liu Jingfeng said: "Fortunately, this is a copper coffin. If it were replaced by a wooden coffin, it would be difficult to dig it out."

Copper products are relatively tough, so don't worry, they will cause direct damage. If they are wood, they may have cracked long ago if they are so warped.

After a lot of effort, the coffin was finally dug out.

When Captain Chen didn't know what to do next, Lin Ran immediately asked Wang Jinpeng and the others to brush away the thick soil on the surface of the coffin.

Seeing that the cleaning was almost done, Lin Ran could clearly see the structure of the chain.

They assume a looping posture and become a ring-like structure.

If you want to open the coffin, you must first unlock the iron locks and then level the coffin.

Captain Chen said: "Isn't this not good?"

"What else is there to care about now?"

"The iron locks have not been unlocked, and the contents inside the coffin should not have been touched," Captain Chen said.
