Lan Xiaolan came to the central library alone. It is the largest library in S Province and has a large collection of books of various types.
On the top floor of the library, there is a library that contains many rare books and historical documents. It is a place where books can only be read but not borrowed.
Ordinary people are not allowed to enter, and Lan Xiaolan was able to come in only with Professor Bai's permission.
Through the analysis of the twelve existing coffins, it has been basically confirmed that these corpses probably came from more than 2,000 years ago.
If these dead girls were all dancers and they were buried here collectively, then the owner of the cemetery was most likely a king of the time.
Lan Xiaolan had seen some argumentative essays posted on the forum, one of which provided extensive and detailed discussion on the tombs of the kings of this period.
One of the viewpoints is to study the walls of the kings' tombs. The kings of that period used a special kind of bricks and stones when building their own tombs.
During the production process of this kind of bricks and stones, some grain and straw were mixed in. As you can imagine, more than 2,000 years ago, when there was war, grain and straw for feeding cattle and horses were very precious.
Mixing such precious things with soil to make bricks and stones to build the walls of the tomb was exactly the tomb regulation that only kings of that period could have.
It was only yesterday, when Lan Xiaolan was knocking on the wall, that she discovered this.
Since it was a king, and the approximate time and basic location were confirmed, then as long as we look for the corresponding historical data, we should be able to find the owner of the tomb.
Apart from the twelve corpses, not many valuable cultural relics were unearthed. If it was a king in his heyday, there should have been a lot of burial objects.
If it was a fallen or defeated king, it would be impossible to build a tomb with such luxurious standards.
Of course, there is also a possibility that this was a king who died during his prime, but he was a wise ruler who regarded money as dirt, so he was not buried with too many burial objects.
But if he was truly a wise ruler, how could he sacrifice the lives of twelve young girls as burial objects?
Therefore, many known facts now contradict each other and are not in line with common sense. Lan Xiaolan fell into deep thought, hoping to find some clues in these books and historical materials.
Lan Xiaolan sat by the window, reading seriously.
Suddenly, a very elegant woman came over. She was wearing a deep blue dress. The cut of the dress was delicate and elegant, showing her graceful figure perfectly.
She had long, naturally curly hair that fell to her waist. Her face was tight, her eyebrows were as dark as distant ink, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, which was both decent and dignified.
"Excuse me, can I sit here and have a cup of coffee?"
Lan Xiaolan took a look at the dignified, steady and noble woman, and for some reason she inexplicably felt a sense of intimacy with her.
This is where the library stores its books and is generally not open to the public. Only literary researchers or prominent figures in society are allowed in.
So actually there weren't many people here, but this woman insisted on coming over to share a table with Lan Xiaolan, clearly coming here for her.
"Yes, please take a seat."
Lan Xiaolan just glanced at Dai Yuecheng without thinking much about it. Her body and mind were now immersed in the sea of books.
Dai Yuecheng looked Lan Xiaolan up and down seriously. She had a bun on her hair, and her face was bare, without a trace of makeup. She was wearing a plain black T-shirt, blue overalls, and a pair of muddy sneakers.
This is his brother-in-law, Ren Tingxi, who traveled all the way back to S City, not even going home, to spend the night with the girl who booked a room in a B&B? Dai Yuecheng couldn't believe his eyes.
If Dai Yuecheng had seen a girl with such ordinary clothes and looks in normal times, he would never have associated her with Ren Tingxi.
However, her people clearly took a picture of the two of them hugging each other under the dim street lights last night. To be exact, Ren Tingxi hugged her in his arms and kissed her actively.
If he hadn't really seen those photos, Dai Yuecheng wouldn't have come here in person to meet this girl.
Lan Xiaolan didn't notice that Dai Yuecheng, who was sitting opposite her, was looking at her with strange eyes. She just kept reading and sorting out her notes with a pen and paper.
After a round of research and analysis, Lan Xiaolan finally locked onto a person, and her mood finally brightened. However, her own guess was far from enough, and she needed more facts to confirm her guess.
So, she wanted to call Ren Tingxi. When she picked up the phone, she remembered that she didn't have Ren Tingxi's current contact information.
When they broke up 8 years ago, he deleted all the information about Ren Tingxi. A lot of things happened in the past two days, and he didn't have time to ask for his contact information.
She had no choice but to call Professor Bai: "Hello, Professor, is Ren Tingxi here? I want to confirm something with him. But I don't have his contact information."
Dai Yuecheng, sitting across from him, was stunned. It was unbelievable. He had originally thought his brother-in-law, Ren Tingxi, was hiding a mistress from his family, but he hadn't expected this girl to be someone he'd just met? He didn't even have her phone number.
Since she didn't even add her phone number, she let Tingxi chase her and hug her, and even stayed out all night without going home. It seems that this ordinary girl is different.
