The UV lamps in the forensic laboratory were humming, and Su Chen's nano gloves scraped off tiny gold powder from behind Chen Zihao's ears. "The cutting marks of these coating particles..." He turned the electron microscope, "are exactly the same as the craftsmanship of the golden Buddha stolen from Zheng He Pavilion."
Tang Ren suddenly placed the compass on the dissecting table: "Gold is found in the palace, this body must have been tampered with by a master in Feng Shui!" He tore open the shirt of the deceased, and the pattern formed by the spots on the body turned out to be the "Resurrection" formation in "Lu Ban's Book".
Qin Feng pulled up the Chen family files, his finger paused on the tablet: "Chen... Chen Zihao has a twin brother!" The yellowed scan of the birth certificate showed that on July 16, 1946, the Chen ancestor also gave birth to twins.
"Go to the old house!" Su Chen grabbed the evidence bag, which contained incense ashes extracted from the gaps in the swimming pool mosaics - testing showed that they were special spices offered to Zheng He.
The copper door ring of the Chen family's ancestral home was covered with green rust, and Tang Ren's Luoyang shovel was stuck in the door crack: "The house is facing the direction of Yin and Shen, which is a bad omen of 'white tiger holding a corpse'!" A sudden draft lifted the curtain of the main hall, revealing the tablets of the twins on the altar.
Su Chen used a laser scanner to detect the ground, and a cavity echo came from under the blue bricks. Qin Feng suddenly stuttered and pointed to the beam: "Three...three o'clock!" The flashlight shone on the beam and saw dense Thai numbers engraved on it, which turned out to be GPS coordinates after being combined.
"This is the record in the Genglubu!" Tang Ren threw out the Five Emperors' Coins to smash the floor tiles, revealing the fragments of the Ming Dynasty sea map. When Su Chen was piecing together the map, the system suddenly sounded an alarm - the location of the Strait of Malacca on the sea map coincided with the last location of Chen Zihao's mobile phone.
In the damp underground secret room, thirty perpetual lamps surrounded the bronze safe. Tang Ren used cinnabar to draw the innate eight trigrams on the surface of the safe: "Kai Xiu Sheng Shang Du Jing Si Jing... Sheng Men is in Xun position!" As he turned the combination dial, Qin Feng noticed that the production batch number of 2010 was exposed on the worn corner of the safe.
"This is a modern imitation!" Su Chen used liquid nitrogen to freeze the lock core and cut open the interlayer with a nano knife. A yellowed photo was sandwiched in the damp account book - a photo of Chen Zihao and his twin brother in front of the Zhenghe Pavilion, with the gilded Buddha's pupils in the background flashing a strange red light.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard in the secret passage. Tang Ren picked up the incense burner on the altar and smashed it against the secret door, and half of a jade cufflink fell out of the broken porcelain. Qin Feng scanned it with a microscope helmet: "Engraved... engraved with the Chen family crest!"

The cryogenic cabinet in the morgue suddenly sounded the alarm, and Chen Zihao's body flew away. The surveillance footage showed that someone who looked like him swiped the electronic lock. Su Chen found two identical suits in the locker, with dry cleaning labels with dates that differed by one year.
"Year-old!" Tang Ren tore open the lining of his suit, revealing traces of tailoring, "This is the 'year-old substitute' method in "Maoshan Technique"! "Under ultraviolet light, the material showed the height marks of the twins' growth.
Qin Feng suddenly called up the cell phone base station data: "Two...two signal sources!" On the map, Chen Zihao's cell phone location flashed at the Zhenghe Pavilion and the Chao Phraya River Pier at the same time. Su Chen's energy tank vibrated violently, and a red warning popped up on the system interface: [Observer Detected].
On the long-abandoned, weed-covered wharf, huge containers were piled up in a disorderly manner, forming a complex maze. In the middle of this seemingly ordinary group of containers, stood a strange array of thirty ancient bronze mirrors.
Tang Ren held the compass in his hand and stared at the needle with a serious expression. The compass needle seemed to be pulled by some powerful force and spun wildly and rapidly. "Oh my!" Tang Ren exclaimed, "This is actually a variation of the 'Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation'! This formation is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you will fall into a place of eternal damnation."
Su Chen at the side quickly took out an advanced sonic detector and began to carefully scan the mysterious ancient mirrors. With the slight buzzing sound of the instrument, the screen gradually displayed a shocking picture - it turned out that behind each mirror, there was a piece of gilded Buddha fragment hidden.
Just as everyone was surprised, a strange laugh suddenly rang out. Then, a man in a gorgeous Tang suit slowly walked out from the mirror. This man had a handsome face, but he exuded an indescribable gloom. What was even more shocking was that his appearance was exactly the same as Chen Zihao who had been missing for a long time.
"Welcome everyone to this theater of truth." The man raised his lips slightly, revealing a sly smile. He raised his right hand and showed everyone a bronze compass in his hand. On the compass, a striking Nazi eagle emblem was clearly engraved. "My family has been silently guarding this secret for ten years..."
In a flash, Qin Feng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly launched an attack. He was seen mumbling something, and a strange stuttering frequency caused waves of sound waves. In an instant, the main mirror withstood this powerful force and instantly broke apart, revealing a bulletproof glass cabinet hidden behind it.
Through the transparent door, one can clearly see a body frozen in the cabinet - it is the Chen Zihao that everyone has been looking for, with a replica of Zheng He's sword stuck in his chest to extract the dandruff tissue on the sword.
The DNA test results were revealed in the rainstorm: the murderer turned out to be a man who claimed to be Chen Zihao's ancestor, and his real birth year was 1946.
