Asked you to write a book, not to confess your criminal record!

Chapter 225: Chapter 173: Writer Lin is too Harsh! (5000 Word Chapter)_3

```

"Received."

The archaeological staff immediately executed the lockdown order, sealed off the site, and left behind temporary monitoring equipment.

The sunset gradually sank.

Qin Sisi, stepping in the fading glimmers of the sunset, returned the way she came, climbed into the off-road vehicle she'd arrived in, and looked at the leaping ridges outside the window.

The rushing wind blew in through the window, messing up her hair, and a complex expression surfaced on her quiet and gentle face.

A day's long trek, scaling mountains and crossing ridges, intense work had left her legs slightly sore and her face somewhat weary.

But in her heart, layer upon layer of tides surged incessantly and could not calm down for a long time.

In the car.

She glanced at Old Yao, wanted to speak several times, but for some reason swallowed back her words again and again.

The faces of several archaeological staff in the car showed annoyed expressions.

To do archaeology, often at times, is to race against tomb robbers for time.

You have to beat the tomb robbers and protect the ancient tomb; that's what counts as archaeology.

Quite obviously.

This time, they were behind the tomb robbers.

"This tomb is located at the convergence of the Five Dragons, and on the ancient map it belongs to the Lu Territory, it's very likely a royal tomb from the Lu state during the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period," said Professor Qi in the car, sighing and sharing his conjecture.

Old Yao's face turned somewhat grim, nodded and said, "According to Professor Qi, this tomb has a very high burial standard, it indeed has this possibility, now we can only hope that the tomb robbers didn't succeed, or that the precious relics are still in the tomb."

As he said this.

Old Yao also sighed.

For archaeologists, this is the most distressing.

This feeling is like the person you've been chasing after, and you find out someone has already been there, and it's highly possible that they caused wanton destruction.

For archaeologists, it is exactly so, very vexing.

Qin Sisi looked out the window.

She said nothing.

Finally, the two off-road vehicles left the mountain and stopped at a hotel in Linyi.

After dinner, Qin Sisi took off her day's field attire, took a shower in the bathroom, then changed into casual clothes, and half-lied on the bed.

At this time.

She couldn't wait to take out her phone, unlock QQ, find Lin Chuan's avatar, and clicked on the chat box.

Her phone tapped rapidly, entering a long string of text.

But she hesitated to hit the 'send' button.

She hadn't entered the tomb yet, she couldn't be sure.

Qin Sisi pursed her lips, took a deep breath, deleted the long string of text, and then opened Shen Qianqian's chat box:

"Qianqian, have you eaten yet?"

Shen Qianqian had finished work and replied quickly: "Just ate, aren't you on an archaeological dig? How come you have time to chat with me?"

Qin Sisi gave a dry laugh, her fingers moving, and replied, "Went into the mountains today, the progress is not bad."

"That's great, a successful first battle!/Awesome.jpg," Shen Qianqian replied.

"Oh, have you seen Lin Chuan's novel?"

Qin Sisi deliberately steered the conversation towards Lin Chuan's novel.

"You mean his new book 'Touch Gold Notes'?" Shen Qianqian asked.

"Yes."

"Of course I've seen it, I read every one of his novels, subscribed to all of them./Proud.jpg" Shen Qianqian replied with a smile.

"You've known Lin Chuan for a long time, you must be very familiar with him and his novels, right?" Qin Sisi asked.

"Of course."

Shen Qianqian was not reticent about her old classmate.

```

"Qianqian, I have a question for you."

"Ask away."

"Where does Lin Chuan usually find inspiration for his novels?" Qin Sisi tentatively asked.

"Inspiration... his head is full of how to commit crimes; he doesn't need to look for inspiration!"

On the other side of the internet, Shen Qianqian half-jokedly said.

"No one has an entire mind full of crime unless they've actually committed one," Qin Sisi retorted.

"So far, Lin Chuan really hasn't committed any crimes," Shen Qianqian spoke up for Lin Chuan.

And indeed, that was the case.

Lin Chuan had not only cooperated with their police station—in anti-gambling campaigns, anti-fraud operations, and anti-scam apps—he had also helped take down the hacker organization AW, securing the Han River Network's safety.

However.

Many details related to Lin Chuan had been classified and stored away as confidential files at Anling Police Station, not to be disclosed to the public.

Even police stations at the same level were not permitted to view them.

This was a form of protection for Lin Chuan.

So, just by looking at Lin Chuan's works, this author is definitely a prime suspect!

Absolutely, no doubt about it!

But in reality, Lin Chuan was frighteningly reputable, with one commendable act after another.

If he were a detective, he would at least be at the position of a division chief by now.

It would be time for a promotion.

There was even a possibility for an exceptional promotion.

"I know he hasn't committed any crimes, but I'm wondering if it's possible that he might commit one?" Qin Sisi pursed her lips and asked with a complicated mind.

"Why would you ask that?" Shen Qianqian questioned back.

Qin Sisi stared at Shen Qianqian's chat box, hesitated for a long time, and then responded, "Qianqian, I've noticed something very strange."

"What is it?"

"There are certain details in Lin Chuan's 'Touch Gold Notes' that closely match with reality," Qin Sisi sent this message.

"Which details, specifically?" Shen Qianqian further inquired.

After a brief contemplation, Qin Sisi recounted today's events truthfully to Shen Qianqian.

Shen Qianqian was her old classmate, and they were on good terms.

Additionally, Shen Qianqian was a police officer at Anling Police Station and abided by the law.

She trusted Shen Qianqian.

However, on the other end of the network, Shen Qianqian, reading the string of messages from Qin Sisi, also fell into doubt.

Gourd Mouth, Little Stone Pond, Lightning-Struck Wood, streams, lakes, and even an excavated tunnel.

The surface details matched up one by one.

"Isn't this too coincidental?" Shen Qianqian replied in astonishment.

"I also think it's too much of a coincidence, which is why I'm so conflicted and unsure how to decide," Qin Sisi said, clearly troubled.

Her initial instinct was to trust Lin Chuan, but the excessive number of details, the too-perfect matches, caused her to fall into suspicion.

Anyone would have doubted!

If it weren't for Shen Qianqian acting as an intermediary, and if Qin Sisi didn't know Lin Chuan personally...

By now.

Qin Sisi probably would have reported it to the Archaeological Team, which would then contact the police, detain Lin Chuan immediately, and interrogate him.

This wasn't about achievements.

It was because Writer Lin was too criminal!

As an old acquaintance of Lin Chuan, Shen Qianqian also pondered for a long time before replying, "Sisi, don't panic for now. The tomb hasn't been opened yet, so as long as what's inside the burial chamber is different, this has nothing to do with Lin Chuan!"

Qin Sisi nodded repeatedly: "Okay, I'll go into the tomb tomorrow to see what's going on!"
