Chapter 42: Framed

  Song Bo let out a breath and smiled, saying "My name is Song Bo, Song as in the great Song dynasty, and Bo as in waves."

  After hearing Song Bo's words, Da Zhuang smiled and said "So it's Little Song, I'm Li Donghai, the one with the gun is ***, and this silent brother is Ali." After finishing speaking, Da Zhuang turned around and pointed to the silent Ali.

  "Since Little Song brother can appear here, he must not be an ordinary person. I dare to ask if Little Song brother is also here to fight?" Da Zhuang said.

  Song Bo rubbed the back of his head and said, "I suppose so."

  Listening to Song Bo say this, Da Zhuang became interested "Eh? So that means we're fellow travelers now. Dare I ask if little brother has already gotten his hands on some treasure? Are you here alone to fight the battle?" After saying this, Da Zhuang glanced around in all directions.

  "Darling, I haven't seen it yet. My nature is different from yours. I'm here for archaeological exploration. I came with many friends before, but they all died, leaving only me behind. Coincidentally, I just made a new friend."

  When I heard Song Bo say this, I secretly thought it was bad. This kid wants to get rid of me, and now there's no way to hide.

  Before I could think much, Song Bo said "Hey, friend, don't hide anymore, come out and show your face."

  "Is there anyone else?" Da Zhuang felt extremely surprised, and it couldn't be blamed on Da Zhuang for not discovering it. After all, the tomb was dug at an angle downwards from the ground surface, and the strong light of the flashlight could only partially illuminate the stone chamber. It was also reasonable that Da Zhuang did not discover the existence of the tomb.

  Since Song Bo has already exposed me, I couldn't hide anymore and had no choice but to come out of the thief's cave.

  As it turned out, I was standing right behind Song Bo. Since the flashlight was in Song Bo's hand, he was only shining it on the ground between Da Zhuang and himself, so Da Zhuang and others didn't see my face clearly, but I could see their facial expressions clearly. Some of them looked uneasy, probably unsure if the person who came out was already dead or not.

  "Come on, big brother, introduce yourself. You didn't tell me your name earlier either," Song Bo said as he stepped back in front of me.

  This one step back was just right to push me into the bright light, no need for me to introduce myself, they could see my face clearly. I stared blankly at Da Zhuang "Da Zhuang,"

  Before I could finish speaking, **'s gaze turned cold. "Li Donghai, it seems that Han Xiaoke is not dead yet. Just now, he was the one who made me become like this. He wants to swallow all the treasures alone." As he spoke, ** took out a bullet from his waist and quickly loaded it into the magazine, ready to shoot at me.

  He raised his gun and was about to pull the trigger on me, but Dazhuang quickly pressed down the hand that had been raised. Although he had already pulled the trigger, all I heard was a "bang" as the bullet hit the ground, producing a crisp gunshot sound.

  "Hold your fire!" Da Zhuang shouted. In all the years I've known Da Zhuang, I'd never seen him look like this before, nor had I ever seen him get angry, but at that moment, he looked furious.

  Looking at Da Zhuang's appearance, he suddenly stopped his hand and didn't continue shooting at me. To be honest, Da Zhuang's appearance was really scary, even I hadn't seen it before, let alone those who hadn't been in contact with him for a long time. Da Zhuang's appearance also made him pause, unable to shoot at me again.

  "Huh? So you guys know each other, huh... looks like I'm the only outsider here." Song Bo said to himself.

  Dazhuang didn't respond to Songbo, his eyes fixed tightly on me "Xiao Ke, how did you get here?"

  "I came here directly from the stone room with the wooden man, didn't you guys also enter here from that stone room?" I said, I was puzzled why Da Zhuang would ask this, according to the structural diagram, only the previous stone room with the wooden man could lead to this stone room, and Da Zhuang could only enter here from that stone room. Presumably Da Zhuang also knew that only there could lead to here, but Da Zhuang asked this question for a reason.

  "There's no wooden man there, just a few wooden boxes, and they're filled with gold, silver, and jewels." Da Zhuang said.

  Listening to Da Zhuang's words, I finally understood that the mechanism should return to its original shape after a period of time. No wonder Da Zhuang said that there were only a few wooden boxes in the stone room and no wooden people. However, when I heard Da Zhuang questioning me, I couldn't help but feel some emotions. In the past, no matter what I did, Da Zhuang never questioned me, but now he actually questioned me, which surprised me. Did ** say something to Da Zhuang?

  Thinking of this, I took a look at him and saw that the corner of his mouth was slightly raised. If you didn't look carefully, you definitely wouldn't notice it. It's likely that this kid felt very pleased and happy in his heart when he saw me being doubted by Dazhuang.

  No matter how much explanation is given, it will only get more and more obscure. The reason why Da Zuan can be so prolific must be that he has definitely put in a lot of effort on this point.

  Looking at me without explaining, Da Zhuang said again "Xiao Ke, **said you harmed him, is this true?"
