The fat man instinctively thought that Zhang Lingyu was also here to rob the tomb, and that their previous tomb-robbing teams were basically formed temporarily.

Therefore, he mistakenly took Xie Xia Xia and others as Zhang Lingyu's gang.

Zhang Lingyu rolled his eyes in anger and sighed deeply: "Fatty, that's the political commissar of the military region next door. The two people in suits are from the National Security Office. That's Feng Baobao, and the two of us are here on behalf of the Core Bureau."

Hearing this, the fat man froze in place.

Although he didn't know what department the Core Bureau was, he could tell that these people were employed by the government. He was stunned for a long time.

His eyes were filled with astonishment, as if they could fit two eggs in each. Not only was the fat man stunned, but even Xie Xiaxia and the others were stunned. They had no idea what to say, and the atmosphere was awkward for a while.

The fat man pulled Zhang Lingyu aside and asked in a low voice: "Lingyu, are you kidding me? Why are you hanging out with government officials now?"

Zhang Lingyu patted the fat man's shoulder helplessly: "This is a long story, but I'm curious why you are here? And who tied you up like this?"

Upon hearing this, the fat man immediately looked around vigilantly, and said as if he was facing a great enemy: "Lingyu, the tomb owner has resurrected! He looks so wretched, and I don't know what kind of drug he used, but it stinks. Then I didn't react, and when I woke up, he was like this."

For a moment, several people looked at the fat man in confusion, as if they were looking at a lunatic.

However, Zhang Lingyu, who knew the fat man's character, immediately became serious.

He knew that even though the fat man looked nonchalant, he would never joke about such things.

So Zhang Lingyu quickly looked around, then stared at the fat man and asked, “Are you saying there are other people here?”

The fat man still had a bitter face, as if he wanted to pour out all his grievances to Zhang Lingyu: "Lingyu, why can't you understand what I'm saying? Didn't I tell you? The tomb owner resurrected and suddenly appeared behind me. That old man was so ugly that I can't even eat when I think of his face now."

Zhang Lingyu frowned, thinking back to the journey, he really didn't find any traces of other people. He looked down at the American military boots on the fat man's feet, and immediately understood the origin of the footprints outside the cave.

Seeing that the fat man was fine, Zhang Lingyu didn't waste any more time on him and began to observe the cave: "This cave seems to have been dug later, and there are claw marks on the wall. Could it be some kind of animal?"

Zhang Lingyu's words puzzled everyone present. This cave was spacious enough to accommodate several people, and there were all kinds of treasures scattered on the ground. It was hard to believe that this was dug by animals.

At this moment, the fat man's attention was all on Zhang Lingyu: "Lingyu, why on earth did you come here? And you brought such a group of people with you..." The fat man had a natural aversion to people in uniforms.

Xie Xiaxia and the others were very uncomfortable with what they said. Zhang Lingyu was worried that the fat man would speak without restraint, so he quickly told them the general purpose of their visit.

After listening, the fat man looked at Zhang Lingyu with strange eyes, and then carefully touched his forehead: "Lingyu, when did you get sick? Why did you start talking nonsense? What core bureau, what dragon-slaying exploration team, you didn't join a pyramid scheme, did you?"

Although the fat man tried to lower his voice, his voice was full of energy, and his words were particularly harsh in the silent cave. Even Feng Baobao showed a contemptuous expression, looking at Zhang Lingyu as if asking: Where did you get to know such a weird person?

Zhang Lingyu knew that it would only waste time if they continued like this, so he interrupted the fat man. He turned around and looked at Zhuge Qing and the others, and said in a deep voice: "This fat man is my friend. We will discuss the details when we get back. Now let's investigate this cave carefully. I think there is something wrong with this place."

Zhuge Qing nodded politely and turned around with Guo Mu to go out and check. Although Xie Xiaxia didn't say anything, she kept looking at the fat man vigilantly. He heard from the conversation between the two that the fat man was a tomb robber. As a soldier, if it weren't for Zhang Lingyu in the middle, he would have detained the fat man back to the military region long ago.

The fat man watched several people leave one after another, and quickly followed. His mind was full of doubts about why Zhang Lingyu appeared here, but he knew that this was not the place to talk, so he didn't dwell on it too much. But just after walking a short distance, he turned back, stuffed some treasures into his backpack, and then followed with satisfaction.

After checking the cave, they found that there were indeed many passages leading to other places. But these passages were too narrow, and even the thinnest Feng Baobao could not pass through. This made Zhang Lingyu more certain of his guess: this cave was probably related to some kind of animal.

After checking, they found nothing, and the oxygen in the cave was getting thinner and thinner, so they had to choose to return to the ground. Fortunately, there was a rope that had been dropped before, and they were able to return to the ground along the rope.

When Zhuge Qing and others thought that the fat man could not come up the rope, they found that the fat man had stood beside them at some point, brushed off the dust on his body, and seemed unconcerned.

This made Zhuge Qing and Guo Mu look at each other in surprise.

In such an environment, even well-trained people like them found it difficult, but how could a chubby-looking fat guy be so flexible?
Zhang Lingyu didn't care about it.

He knew that anyone who was deceived by the fat man's appearance and underestimated his abilities would suffer.

Afterwards, they followed Zhang Lingyu and Feng Baobao around the cemetery for a few more rounds, spending three or four hours, but still without any results. This made Xie Xiaxia, who had been silent the whole time, look at the two with a meaningful look. He was already somewhat uneasy about handing over such an important matter to two young people, and now this feeling became stronger and stronger.

Guo Mu felt the same way, but she was curious why Zhuge Qing trusted them so much.

Because of Zhuge Qing's attitude, Xie Xiaxia and Guo Mu did not reveal their attitudes along the way, but just followed quietly behind to observe Zhang Lingyu and Feng Baobao. And now there is a fat man, which makes the originally serious team a little more funny.

"Lingyu, what are we doing here at this grave?" asked the fat man.

"Lingyu, look at these graves, they seem to have been struck by lightning. I don't know what bad things these people have done to deserve to be struck by lightning after death." The fat man kept nagging beside Zhang Lingyu.

Zhang Lingyu sighed helplessly: "Fatty, can you please stop talking? This was not struck by lightning, this was hit by a shell."

"What?" The fat man thought Zhang Lingyu was joking and waved his hand carelessly, "Stop kidding, who has nothing better to do than to bombard a graveyard with a cannon?"

"Fatty, be careful with your words!" Xie Xia Xia, who couldn't bear it any longer, reminded him seriously.

The fat man looked at him in confusion, then came close to Zhang Lingyu and asked in a low voice: "Lingyu, what's wrong with this soldier? It's as if I stepped on his tail."

Zhang Lingyu rolled his eyes: "Don't you understand yet? This place was obviously bombed by the military station."

"Oh my god, there really are people who have nothing better to do!" The fat man looked back at Xie Xia Xia in astonishment. Obviously, he didn't understand why the military wanted to bombard the cemetery.

Xie Xiaxia suppressed her anger, and really didn't want to argue with him. He didn't get angry for the sake of the National Security Office. Zhuge Qing also hurried to smooth things over, but he was complaining in his heart. How come there was suddenly a chatterbox in the investigation? Not only did he not understand the situation, but every word he said was a false alarm.

In this way, several people investigated in a helpless mood, but in the end there was no result. Zhang Lingyu could only decide to return to the military district temporarily. When the fat man followed Zhang Lingyu and others to the military district station, he immediately looked around like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden, and praised from time to time.

"This military uniform is really nice..."

"Lingyu, look! They are all mortars. This military station is quite powerful."

Zhang Lingyu glared at the fat man and said, "From now on, don't say a word. We have something important to do now!"

The fat man shrugged his shoulders when he heard this. He was used to listening to Zhang Lingyu's words. The group returned to the conference room again. At this time, Hou Hao and others were still waiting for the results of the investigation in the conference room. Hou Hao never thought that they would be gone for several hours before returning.

When the door of the conference room slowly opened, Xie Xia Xia led the way in. Hou Hao immediately stood up, with a curious light in his eyes, and asked:
"Thank you, Political Commissar. Is there any result?"

Facing Hou Hao's anxious gaze, Xie Xia Xia was hesitant to speak. It was really hard for her to say that after several hours of running around, she got nothing and only brought back a fat man.

Hou Hao seemed to read the answer from Xie Xia Xia's expression, sighed softly, and sat back in his seat.

Afterwards, Zhang Lingyu and others also walked into the meeting room.

Hou Hao noticed the extra fat man at a glance, frowned slightly, and wondered:

"Who is this?" Zhang Lingyu explained quickly:

"Captain Hou, this is my friend. I met him by chance during the investigation."

"Encountered by chance?" Hou Hao was surprised by this statement. He has been stationed in this military region for many years and he knows very well whether anyone comes here.

There is no one living within ten miles around, how could you easily "encounter" him by chance?
But Hou Hao still gave Zhang Lingyu face and did not investigate the matter further:
"So, what have you discovered now? How do you plan to solve this matter?"

Facing Hou Hao's direct question, Zhang Lingyu shook his head slightly:
"Not yet. This matter is much more complicated than we expected."

Although Hou Hao had anticipated this result from Xie Xia Xia's expression, he still couldn't help feeling disappointed when he actually heard it.

He sighed deeply, and although he didn't say anything else, the heaviness of the sigh was unbearable.

Feng Baobao and Zhang Lingyu encountered difficulties when they carried out their first mission.

Everything seemed normal during the investigation, but it seemed abnormal.

However, neither of them could break the deadlock for a while.

Pan Xing had never been optimistic about these two young people. After learning of the result, he shook his head slightly.

The military had placed too much hope on this matter.

After all, there are only three days, and now one day has been wasted, which is hard to accept.

The fat man looked at Hou Hao and others in confusion, then at Zhang Lingyu and Feng Baobao.

He still hasn't figured out the whole situation, he only knows that Zhang Lingyu and Feng Baobao seem to be investigating something and they were invited by the military.

Core Bureau...

Could it be that Zhang Lingyu was not joking and that was really an official department?
Just as the fat man was muttering in his heart, Zhang Lingyu looked at Hou Hao and said:
"Captain Hou, since we have taken over this matter, we will definitely take responsibility to the end.

I wish the military could provide me with a phone so I could get in touch with the director.

I will readjust the specific investigation plan after this call."

Hou Hao looked at Zhang Lingyu deeply, just nodded slightly, and said nothing more.

But he didn't hold out much hope.

After all, these two people looked too young, and he knew nothing about the core game.

However, Zhuge Qing seemed to have always trusted these two people very much.

He represented the National Security Office, so Hou Hao did not make the situation too awkward.

Soon, two soldiers brought a phone and placed it on the table in the conference room.

Zhang Lingyu immediately dialed a number and then put the phone to his ear.

The call was quickly answered.

After hearing the voice on the phone, Zhang Lingyu was ready to call out "brother", but thinking that this was an official occasion, he immediately held it back and said:
Deputy Director Wang, our investigation has hit a bottleneck. Please let the Director take the call."

Wang on the other end of the phone remained silent. He just hummed, and then the phone fell into silence for a few seconds.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Miao's voice came from the phone.

The conference room was so quiet that even though Zhang Lingyu didn't turn on the speakerphone, Huang Miao's voice was still clearly audible.

"Lingyu, are you having trouble with the investigation?"

Zhang Lingyu responded immediately:

"Commander, after we arrived, we discovered that Team Leader Zhuge Qing had encountered evil spirits.

After I helped Team Leader Zhuge exorcise the evil spirit using the method you taught me, I began to investigate the case.

But all the investigations seemed too normal, nothing strange could be found, so we couldn’t identify a breakthrough.”

Huang Miao's voice remained calm, as if he was not surprised by this:

"This is your first independent investigation, so it's normal to encounter difficulties. Otherwise, there would be no experience to be gained. Experience is accumulated slowly.

In this case, the more anxious you are, the more likely it is to backfire.

Tonight I will use the astronomical technique to observe the celestial phenomena and help you. Wait for my call..."

After saying this, Huang Miao hung up the phone.

Zhang Lingyu's confidence was boosted by this phone call. After hanging up the phone, he looked at Hou Hao firmly and said:
"Captain Hou, you just heard it.

We just have to wait until dark, and the director will definitely give us directions."

Hou Hao looked at Zhang Lingyu in confusion, not understanding why this phone call made him so determined.

Don’t you think what your director said is outrageous at all?

Can you determine the direction of the case by observing the celestial phenomena at night?

This……

At this time, Zhuge Qing also nodded and said happily:
"That would be the best. If Director Li is willing to help, this case will definitely be solved!"

For a moment, Hou Hao and others, including Guo Mu, all frowned.

They wondered what Huang Miao was capable of. He had never shown his face and even just said something like "observing the celestial phenomena at night", but how could he make them believe him so firmly? (End of this chapter)
