Ahmed’s first reaction was that Pharaoh’s mummy had been stolen. But when I thought about it, I felt that something was wrong. Why did you want to remove the shroud to steal the mummy? There is also the golden mask of the Pharaoh. This is the most valuable thing. Why is it still left in the coffin?

"What is this?" He no longer cared about whether the contents of the coffin were cultural relics, and picked up a black object from some scattered gold ornaments under the shroud.

"Spices." Alef said, "the mummies are stuffed with these gold and silver treasures to embalm the corpse."

Ahmed frowned and threw the spices in his hands back into the coffin.

"Do you know how the mummies are made?" Alef asked.

"How did it make it?" Ahmed didn't know why Alef asked this.

"After every pharaoh dies, he must hold a ceremony to throw the pharaoh's body in the wilderness or in the river, and then mobilize the whole city to search for it. This ceremony originated from the myth of Orisis. According to legend, Orisis was once He was put in a box by his brother and thrown into the Nile River. After finding it, he was unloaded and thrown in a different place. Orisis's wife retrieved the corpse and put it together again to make a mummy. After he was resurrected, Orisis became the **** of the underworld. After the death of the pharaoh, he would imitate this process and hold a corpse hunting ceremony.

The ancient Egyptians did not fear death, they believed that one day after death they would be resurrected. So I guess this ceremony started while Pharaoh was still alive.

When Pharaoh's corpse or dying body was recovered, he began to dissect him-excavate the abdomen, take out all the internal organs; then excavate the nose, open the nasal bones and upper jaw bone, and take out the brain. However, they will retain the heart, because the ancient Egyptians believed that the heart is the source of wisdom and the main difference between the body and the object. Only by retaining the heart can it be ensured that he is still alive.

Then, they immersed the body in salt water to dissolve the grease and wash off the epidermis. About forty days or so, take the body out to dry, and then fill the cavity with spices—the kind you just picked up—and some gold jewelry that the pharaoh used during his lifetime. After the abdominal cavity is sutured, gum is applied to the outer layer of the corpse, and finally the corpse is tightly wrapped with cloth. In this way, a standard mummy is made. "

Alef seemed to be teaching his students in class.

Ahmed was shocked when he heard it. The corpse in the corner was lying there, the internal organs and brain had been taken out, only the heart was still there. If it is stuffed with spices and wrapped in a shroud, it will be a standard mummy.

The murderer made the corpse like this, is it because he wanted to make a fake mummy to get through?

No, it's impossible. This is too easy to dismantle, and there is no need for so many dead people.

Or the murderer deliberately treated the scene like this, trying to lead the matter into the direction of mysticism, so that the police could make a wrong judgment?

This is very possible. For example, he had just judged that the killer was an animal that likes to eat viscera. Although it is unlikely that there will be a large animal that can bite a human belly in this place, the inherent mystery of the pyramid is easy to overlook the logical irrationality. Sex, it seems reasonable even if there are some monsters that have never been seen here, just like the plot in the movie "The Mummy".

But Ahmed is an experienced veteran policeman after all. After combing through it from beginning to end, this possibility was ruled out.

The sandstorm lasts only a few hours. If the murderer finds the treasures of the underground palace and wants to swallow all the witnesses, he should have no time to deal with the scene. Mysticism can only deceive people for a while. For the murderer, time is the most important thing. valuable. He should slip away quickly with the most valuable things, instead of putting on the golden mask and not taking it, struggling to deal with the internal organs of so many people and the pharaoh's mummies.

Ahmed walked to the corpse in the corner and knelt down again to look for clues.

The incision in the corpse's abdomen was flat, but it didn't look like a knife, it looked a bit like cut with an awl. Nothing can be seen elsewhere, and I am afraid that a conclusion can only be reached after the forensic medical examination.

Looking at the empty corpse, he suddenly had the urge to fill the coffin with spices and then wrap the corpse in a cloth. He didn't know why he thought so, but the thought was so strong, as if someone kept urging him in his ear.

He felt a cool breeze flowing from the back of his neck and ears, as if something was lying on his back.

A cold sweat broke out on Ahmad's forehead and back, and he turned around abruptly, only to see Adura behind him.

"Adura, what are you doing?" he asked.

Adulla seemed to be frightened, and pointed behind Ahmed in horror: "He...he..."

Ahmed sighed and said, "Don't be afraid, it's just a dead person."

He said that he turned and went back, but saw that the corpse who was lying on the ground just now had stood up. Just behind him, there was an open belly with no internal organs, half of the heart exposed under the ribs, and there was still thumping and thumping. . And that faceless face also seemed to be visible, staring at Ahmed.

Ahmed's heart was beating wildly. However, he was a policeman who had experienced strong winds and waves. With the authority given to him by the chief to make immediate decisions before coming, he immediately reacted. While retreating quickly, he took out his pistol and fired two bangs.

The bullet puffed into the body of the living dead, as if hitting the torn cotton wool. The body of the living dead shook slightly, seeming to be irritated, and began to approach him step by step.

Sudden gunshots suddenly sounded in the stone room, shocking people's ears. He saw the corpses in the other corners also stood up, and the automatic rifles in the hands of the two soldiers who followed Alef were bursting with fire snakes.

"Quickly go!" Ahmed cried out. Fired in such a small place, before being killed by a corpse, he was already killed by his own stray bullets.

He turned his head and rushed towards the entrance of the passage. However, I don't know whether it was a mistake in his memory, or it was caused by nervousness, and he actually ran into the stone monument.

Suddenly, the stone stele radiated golden light, and the other four stone steles also radiated light as if echoing.

The light is getting stronger and stronger, so that people can't open their eyes, just like coming to the midsummer sun.

The light penetrated the thick stone wall like a sharp sword, and passed through the outside of the pyramid. The entire pyramid became transparent.

Ahmed saw the sun in the sky~lightnovelpub.net~ There was a sea of ​​sand on the ground, the undulating sand dunes were endless, and the fine sand reflected golden light in the sun.

The three pyramids of Giza stood just like that in the sea of ​​sand, and there were many people standing around them. There was a halo on their bodies, and they couldn't be seen clearly.

Alhammed was clearly standing in the underground palace of the Pyramid of Khufu, but he seemed to have an extra pair of God's eyes, and he could see everything on the Giza Heights.

Then he saw a person coming out of the crowd on the ground and walking towards the Pyramid of Khufu. Strangely, he didn't walk towards the entrance, but walked directly towards the stone wall, stepping up on the stone steps outside.

Is he going to climb to the top of the pyramid? The Tourism Bureau expressly stipulates that private climbing is punishable by imprisonment of one to three years. Even if he got permission from the government, why did he walk so easily? It's not easy for those stones to get up!

What is even more strange is that he actually walked through the stone wall and walked in, as if the pyramid was not completed, but a trapezoidal platform.

Oh, he went down again. But there is no way here!

The man stepped on the invisible steps, went down a few steps, reached the same height as Ahmed, and then walked towards Ahmed.

Ahmed was a little nervous and didn't know what happened and what the man did.

The man approached, and Ahmed could finally see him clearly. He was wearing a suit, because he was covered with a layer of golden light, so he couldn't see the color of the suit, and his facial features were not very clear, but he could vaguely see that he was not young.

He saw the man holding something like a red coral branch in his hand.

Even if the sun is dazzling, the coral branches are still red and eye-catching, like blood-stained roses for lovers.
