227: Chapter 227 Bone was indeed discovered.

Over the next few days, Zhang Xiaofu kept his attention almost entirely on Lin Xiao.

He was worried that Lin Xiao would actually "sacrifice himself for others" and stir up some terrible trouble just to make things easier for everyone.

Time quickly arrived at the fifth day.

"Today, we are going to take everyone for shooting and grenade throwing training!"

Following the instructor's announcement, many lethargic students became interested, as if reborn, cheering and responding from below.

Only Zhang Xiaofu felt his heart suddenly "thump" in his chest.

What he feared most was really happening!

Shooting and grenade throwing? This could really cause trouble!

I hope Lin Xiao doesn't...

But just as he was about to pray in his heart, he heard Lin Xiao's inner voice.

[The opportunity has arrived!]

It's over!

Zhang Xiaofu's heart instantly jumped into his throat.

However, there were too many people around, and even if he wanted to go and advise Lin Xiao not to be impulsive, he didn't know how to bring it up.

Moreover, they weren't in the same class, and they weren't very close either.

Besides continuing to pray in his heart, all he could do was keep a close watch on Lin Xiao as much as possible, and not get himself involved if something happened.

Soon, the training began.

The training ground was a very open wasteland, surrounded by sturdy fences, prohibiting unauthorized personnel from entering.

Grenade throwing training had a certain level of risk, so it was conducted in batches.

Every student undergoing training would be accompanied by two or three instructors for assistance.

To ensure everyone's safety.

When it was Lin Xiao's turn, a flash of brilliance crossed his eyes.

He rubbed his hands together, feeling eager to try.

"Instructor, do we really have to throw it?"

"Of course! Don't be a coward!"

The instructor didn't notice Lin Xiao's abnormality, assuming he was just like the other students, asking because of cowardice.

He demonstrated it simply to Lin Xiao twice more, then lifted his chin at Lin Xiao, "Alright, it's your turn!"

"Okay! You were the ones who told me to throw!"

Lin Xiao held his breath, gathered all his strength, aimed, and forcefully threw the grenade directly onto the open ground in front of him.

With a "boom", the grenade exploded!

The instructor beside him couldn't help but applaud, "Not bad, this student is really good, threw it far and steady. Everyone should learn from this classmate later..."

As the instructor spoke, he looked at the dust raised by the explosion.

Soon, he realized something was wrong.

This dust was dispersing too slowly!

And the ground vibration caused by the explosion—why hadn't it stopped after such a long time?

Another younger instructor nearby picked up binoculars and looked toward the dust-filled area.

"Se-Second Brother, it seems, something is wrong!"

"What is it?"

The previous instructor took the binoculars and also looked over there.

Soon, his expression became serious.

"All training suspended! Everyone back up!"

Following the order, every assisting instructor immediately made the students move back.

Then, several of them walked together toward the spot where the grenade had just exploded.

Before they even got close, they felt that the ground under their feet was not quite right.

"Everyone be careful, let's wait for the smoke to clear before moving forward."

The older instructor had some experience with this kind of thing.

He led the others to stop in place first.

The smoke and dust took a while to clear.

But at this point, they didn't need to get closer, because even from a distance of a few meters, they could clearly see the situation over there.

They saw a huge pit had appeared on the ground.

To be precise, the grenade's explosion had caused a large-scale collapse.

Inside the pit, besides soil and rubble, there was a pile of messy things.

The most conspicuous among them were bones.

Many, many bones!

Some were clearly animal bones, but mixed in among them were human bones as well.

The instructors were stunned, and the students were stunned too.

The only one with a clear head might have been Zhang Xiaofu.

He looked at Lin Xiao in astonishment, his inner shock indescribable.

The few students who had participated in the discussion the other day also gradually realized something and looked at Lin Xiao one after another.

Lin Xiao spread his hands, "It's not my business."

About an hour later.

On the training ground, The Police, forensic doctors, and Archaeology Expert had all arrived.

When the criminal police team saw Lin Xiao, they couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Officer Zhang glared at them and sighed helplessly, "Lin Xiao, why is it you again?"

"Coincidence, I guess."

Lin Xiao grinned.

"It's fortunate that it's just an ancient tomb. If another murder case had occurred, I would really have to take you back for study."

Officer Zhang held his forehead, feeling a deep headache.

The Police and the forensic doctors breathed a sigh of relief, but the Archaeological Team was not so relaxed.

Because it was blown out directly, many of the burial objects in this ancient tomb were damaged.

The old experts were both excited and heartbroken, carefully cleaning up the scene, hoping to find something that could represent the tomb owner's identity and the age of this ancient tomb as soon as possible.

Fortunately, professionals are just different.

They quickly made a simple deduction about the general situation.

At this time, Lin Xiao and Officer Zhang also curiously crowded over.

"Who blew this place up?"

An old professor asked.

Officer Zhang pushed Lin Xiao out, "He blew it up."

Lin Xiao pushed the previous instructor out, "He was the one who told me to blow it up!"

The instructor was a bit stunned and quickly said: "No, I told you to blow it up, but I didn't tell you to make such a big commotion!"

Looking at the mess all over the ground, they couldn't help but worry if they had accidentally destroyed something.

If any national treasure-level cultural relics were destroyed, even if they didn't have to bear responsibility, they would probably still face a lot of criticism.

But just at this moment, the old professor's eyes were full of joy.

"Well blown, well blown!"

"??"

Lin Xiao, Officer Zhang, and the instructor all had question marks on their faces.

The old professor pointed to a spot and said: "Look, the collapse caused by the explosion happened to expose the outer perimeter of the tomb chamber, without having any impact on the main tomb chamber in the very center!"

"Then these fragments..."

The instructor asked doubtfully.

"They are all just jars and pots, and human and animal burial objects; even without this explosion, they wouldn't have been able to be preserved intact after so many years."

The old professor waved his hand dismissively.

Officer Zhang leaned in, "Then does this ancient tomb still have some value?"

"More than just some value! It is extremely valuable!"

The more the old professor spoke, the more excited he became, his wrinkled cheeks faintly flushing red.

"Heh, Lin Xiao, I thought you were possessed by Conan, only helpful with murder cases. I didn't expect you to be able to make a name for yourself in the archaeology world too!"

Officer Zhang put his arm around Lin Xiao's shoulder and said half-jokingly.

"What do you mean by that?"

The old professor asked, somewhat confused.

Officer Zhang felt like he had to get it off his chest, so he recounted all the times Lin Xiao had discovered corpses before.

The members of the Archaeological Team heard these words and looked at Lin Xiao one after another.

Their gazes held confusion and expectation.

But even more, it was eagerness!

Even the old professor had a thoughtful look on his face.

Lin Xiao immediately took two steps back.

"No way! No matter what you are thinking right now, please stop all those thoughts! I am still a student, I just want to study hard and improve every day; I don't want to be your corpse-sniffing dog or tomb-sniffing dog!"
