The two chatted for a while, and then Liang Cunxiao went to do his own business, while Lin Yi and Ning Che went to Lu Beichen.

In the courtyard, Lu Beichen was playing chess with another old man, taking a sip of tea from time to time, looking relaxed.

The two did not go over to disturb him, but just stood beside Lu Beichen, waiting for him to finish playing chess.

And just like that, half an hour passed.

The two finished playing chess, and Lu Beichen won in the end. He boasted to the other party for a few words and then followed Lin Yi.

"How's the meeting going?"

"There were some minor frictions, but they were resolved."

Afterwards, Lin Yi told Lu Beichen what happened at the meeting.

"This kid is really impatient."

Hearing Lu Beichen's comments, Ning Che thought of Lin Yi.

She was wondering what Lin Yi would do if he was Pan Xiaodong.

Finally, Ning Che felt that if it were Lin Yi, he would probably not say anything and would not raise any objections no matter what the arrangement was.

Looking at Lu Beichen's evaluation of Pan Xiaodong, it seems to be fine.

"Based on the current situation, it can be considered as letting them participate."

"But they won't be satisfied, and neither will the higher-ups." Lu Beichen said:

"They should also be involved in the global search and the next operation. You should decide the limits in this regard."

"understood."

After staying with Lu Beichen for a while, Lin Yi and Ning Che returned to the Zhongwei Brigade and found Liu Hong.

"How's the meeting going?"

“It taught them a lesson.”

After briefly discussing the content of the meeting, Liu Hong's evaluation of Pan Xiaodong was similar to that of Lu Beichen.

"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore." Liu Hong said:

"Yu Luo called me just now. There has been new progress over there. They found the farmer, but he said that the remains were dug out from the ground and have nothing to do with the ruins. He never mentioned the Baker ruins at all."

After hearing the news, several people felt strange.

"If it was really dug out from the ground, it has nothing to do with the Baker ruins, and it is also inconsistent with what is recorded in the book." Lin Yi muttered.

"I just studied the book carefully again and found that there might be something wrong with it." Liu Hong said:

"It seems more like a fictional documentary. The things recorded in it may not be true."

"Ok?"

After hearing the news, Lin Yi and Ning Che were both surprised. No one expected such a result.

"If this is really a novel, then where did the golden chair come from? It matches the relics of the indigenous people." Ning Che said.

"I was thinking that, too. This is so bizarre."

"Maybe there is a problem in some link, and someone may be lying here." Lin Yi said.

"lie?"

They both looked at Lin Yi, "Don't look at me, I'm just guessing."

After a pause, Lin Yi continued:

"Let's assume now that the golden chair is something that belonged to the indigenous people. Then it must have been unearthed from the ruins. Combined with what Davis and the farmer said, someone must have lied."

"Let's change the angle." Ning Che said:

"If no one is lying and the golden chair was dug out from the ground, does that prove that the ruins could be underground? Of course, it wasn't originally underground, but after so many years, the movement of the earth's crust caused it to appear under the surface. Or someone took the golden chair out of the ruins and buried it underground, and it was dug out by a farmer many years later."

"I think the possibility of the first one is very low, and the second one is also unlikely. Normally, if a golden chair is stolen, unless someone has a special status like us, they will basically sell it for money. It is unlikely that they will bury it. Even if they want to hide it, they are unlikely to use this method."

After Lin Yi finished speaking, the three of them fell silent.

Things had developed to this point, and the three of them didn't know what to do next.

"Do you think we may have missed some details?" Liu Hong said:

"Will there be other clues in that record?"

Lin Yi nodded, "There's no point in discussing this now, let's go over there now."

"Go."

The two got up and left, went to the research institute in the back, and found the ancient book sealed in the safe.

Before this, the book had been authenticated and it was found to be at least 50 years old. In addition, the golden chair had also been authenticated and it was found to be at least several thousand years old.

Therefore, there is no problem with these two things, and there is no possibility of forgery.

Now, then, the possibility that someone is lying is even greater.

After getting the book, Lin Yi flipped through it carefully.

In terms of content, if it is said to be a fictional novel, there seems to be no problem, but if it is said to be a notebook, there is no problem either.

"In fact, if you just look at this book, there doesn't seem to be any problem." Ning Che said.

"I don't think there's any problem either. Although there aren't many records about the ruins, there are some contents that fit the characteristics of the ruins. I don't think they are fabricated." Lin Yi said:

"If it was made up, it's unlikely to be so similar. What do you think?"

Ning Che nodded, obviously agreeing with Lin Yi's statement.

"I think we can start with this person and find a way to find the author of this book. After so many years, even if he is dead, he should have descendants. If we can find clues in this regard, we will have a new breakthrough."

“That’s a really good idea.”

Ning Che held up his phone and said, "I'll call Yu Luo."

In the next few minutes, Ning Che told Qiu Yulo about the relevant matters, while Lin Yi continued to look at the book, trying to find other clues.

In his opinion, the man named Davis was unlikely to lie.

People in the pawn business collect things from all over the world and then sell them on the market, so the problem is most likely with the farmer.

But there is nothing special about the identity of a farmer, otherwise he would not be likely to be a farmer.

Could it be that the golden chair really surfaced because of the movement of the earth's crust?

If this is the case, the ruins under the ground should also be revealed. It is unlikely to be so peaceful.

So which link went wrong?

Lin Yi rubbed his temples and thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

"Okay, don't think so much. Before we have any clues, no matter how much we think, it will be useless." Ning Che said:

"I have already told Yu Luo about the relevant matters. Once they have new clues, we will think about what to do next."
