Solving Middle Age Crisis by Intelligence System Chapter 416 - 270: Anticipated Reward (Double-Length)2

The site has been temporarily sealed off by the Northern Mongolia Provincial Hall’s criminal investigation team. Once the National Archaeological Team arrives, they will conduct the excavation and deal with the removal of those foreign bodies.

The Northern Mongolia Cultural Relics Bureau personnel, upon learning that there’s an underground palace of Genghis Khan beneath the tomb, were astounded and turned back halfway, each of them in disbelief.

Although they felt resentful and argued fiercely with higher-ups, they ultimately had to face reality.

After all, the level of Genghis Khan’s mausoleum was too high for the local archaeological team to handle.

State-level intervention not only ensures excavation standards but also balances the interests of all parties.

Later, under the coordination of high-level authorities, Northern Mongolia was also allocated a spot for an archaeological team, considering the tomb was found there, and various resources needed local collaboration.

As for Director Hua, he successfully joined the National Archaeological Team through Director Yu’s efforts, and with this experience, a promotion upon his return was a natural progression.

This was also Qi Yun’s way of repaying Director Hua for risking his life to accompany him into the tomb.

Although the other party was personally interested in going down, it was only after Qi Yun brought it up that he agreed to go and persuade Captain Wu together.

A gentleman judges deeds, not intentions, so Qi Yun acknowledged this favor, and with the matter of the Bronze Mirror, sought Director Yu’s help to make arrangents.

In the past two days, Qi Yun received two system intelligence updates, one containing purple-grade information, which included a coordinate.

[(Purple 4/6): 31°08′03″E, 29°58′45″N]

According to the map, this coordinate is located in the southwestern part of Egypt Cairo, an area with many long-existing ruins, including the renowned Sphinx and ancient Pyramid Complex.

And this coordinate points to the Khufu’s Pyramid, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, existing for nearly five thousand years.

As for the clues hidden within this pyramid, Qi Yun is currently unaware.

Although Ignacio and his ntor are assisting in unraveling these mysteries, there is scant docuntation on them, so progress is limited.

This is the advantage of the De Gaulle family; they not only know how to read map information but also likely know the hidden clues at these locations on the map.

However, Qi Yun also has his own advantage, which is that he now knows the detailed coordinates of four locations: Loulan Ancient City, Genghis Khan’s Tomb, Mayan Ruins, and Khufu’s Pyramid.

And he’s already mastered the clues at the first two locations.

Whether or not to explore the Mayan Ruins and Khufu’s Pyramid will depend on his eting with De Gaulle. If De Gaulle has already acquired leads to these places, then there’s no need to pursue them further.

...

At eleven o’clock at night, the sky had not completely darkened.

In Koi Mountain Park, Qi Yun found Zhou Hongchang behind an artificial hill.

"Why et here? Feels like a spy rendezvous." Qi Yun smiled and sat down on a nearby stone bench.

Zhou Hongchang stared at Qi Yun for a few seconds, then, in front of him, pressed the power button on his phone to turn it off and placed it on the stone table beside him.

Then he took out a pack of cigarettes and offered one: "It’s quiet here."

Qi Yun accepted the cigarette, noticing Zhou Hongchang’s serious deanor, so he asked, "Sothing happened?"

"Yes." Zhou Hongchang nodded, clutching a lighter to light Qi Yun’s cigarette, "There’s sothing I want to chat with you about."

Qi Yun held the cigarette in his mouth, gently tapping the back of Zhou’s hand, and after the cigarette was lit, he took a couple of puffs: "What’s up, tell ."

Zhou Hongchang looked around and seeing no one, carefully asked: "Do you know Qiu Jiahao?"

Qi Yun’s expression froze, turning to stare at Zhou Hongchang, thinking the latter wanted so help, he didn’t expect such a question.

"Why ask that?"

Zhou Hongchang, a veteran constable, noted Qi Yun’s muscle twitch, recognizing his sudden alertness.

He lowered his head, took another cigarette from the pack, and lit it, speaking at ease: "I was recently assigned to a case, where the deceased was Qiu Jiahao."

"This investigation was conducted secretly, few knew, and we were ordered to keep it confidential." Zhou paused and looked at Qi Yun, his expression sincere: "eting you and discussing this is already against the rules."

"Old Qi, you’ve been good to , so trust that I wouldn’t harm you."

Qi Yun paused with his smoke, ash dropping on his shoe.

He could sense Zhou Hongchang was truthful, yet remained vigilant at heart.

The connection between Qiu Jiahao and himself wasn’t a secret, easily discovered without governntal aid upon inquiry.

Thus, for Zhou to et at personal risk, it surely wasn’t just to ask if he knew Qiu Jiahao, there must be more.

He needed to clarify Zhou Hongchang’s true purpose.

"The case was initially handled by the New District Branch; their conclusion was accidental heart attack death."

"However, we secretly arranged for a forensic re-examination of Qiu Jiahao..."

Zhou Hongchang’s Adam’s apple moved, speaking even lower: "The forensic found trace rcury residue inside him!"

"And it was refined liquid rcury, extrely toxic, capable of causing cardiac arrest within minutes."
