C1 Bronze Coffin

Jiamusi, Extreme East China.

In winter, it was abnormally cold here. At temperatures around -40 degrees Celsius, not to mention peeing, even the puffing from his mouth would turn into a congealing state.

Jiang Chao and Qiu Ning appeared together at the Fuyuan Port, which was a distance away from Sharpei Pioneer.

A thick layer of ice had already covered the intersection of the Wusuli River and the Heilongjiang River in front of Fuyuan Port.

Every year, during the winter months of November and December, the navigation routes on the river would be blocked. Today, however, an icebreaker was slowly heading towards Fuyuan Port from the direction of Sha Russia.

"Sister Qiu, what did you pull back this time?" Jiang Chao curiously and nervously asked.

Jiang Chao was a senior in the Ha City Forensic Department, and Qiu Ning was his teacher.

"I heard it's a mummified corpse that the archaeological team brought back from Russia. This mummified corpse seems to have existed for a thousand years, and the preserved corpse is even better than the mummified female corpse of Ma Wang. The archaeological team and Russia negotiated to bring this mummified corpse back for research." Qiu Ning was a teacher at Ha City in the provincial capital, and also the external forensic expert for the Criminal Police squad.

There were a lot of outstanding students in the class, but for the first time, Qiu Ning brought Jiang Chao, who was at the bottom of the class, to the ceremony of handing over the corpse that was sent back from the archaeological team.

"It's another dried corpse, and it's a thousand year old corpse!" Jiang Chao was a little afraid in his heart. He remembered that when he first went to the System Dissection class at the age of eighteen, many students in his class were shocked by the terrifying feeling of dissecting a corpse. But after four years of university, basically all the students in his class could only imitate the corpse twice.

But only Jiang Chao, no matter what, did not dare to touch the corpse. He could not overcome the fear in his heart. After all, the cold corpse on the planer was once a living person's.

Jiang Chao, prepare for a bit. When it is time for us to arrive, help us with the archaeological team's work. Qiu Ning instructed.

"Alright, Sister Qiu." Jiang Chao nodded.

Qiu Ning was already over thirty years old, but the one she was maintaining was a young woman around twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old.

No one would think she was a medical examiner just from her appearance.

Qiu Ning took good care of Jiang Chao, but unfortunately, Jiang Chao was the last person in the class for whom he failed. Standing in front of the port, Jiang Chao encouraged himself, and this time no matter how terrifying the situation was, he had to subdue the fear in his heart.

But when the ice breaker landed on the pier, Jiang Chao was stunned.

A few robust crew members used ropes to slowly lower a huge bronze coffin onto the pier.

The bronze coffin looked somewhat strange.

There were many carvings of skeletons on top of the coffin. In the center of the coffin was something like an ox head or an evil spirit. It stretched out its long tongue and licked the skulls around it.

The coffin looked rusty, but the carvings on it looked lifelike.

"The archaeologists are here. Jiang Chao, let's go." Qiu Ning reminded Jiang Chao.

After Jiang Chao heard this, he finally woke up from his hysteria and rushed over.

A man in his forties who had a beard and seemed to be in high spirits came down from the boat and tied a rope around the bronze coffin.

"The people from the Cultural Relics Enforcement Unit said that they will appoint a forensic expert. Who am I, it's you, Professor Qiu?" This middle-aged man who wore the uniform marked 'Black Dragon Archaeology' seemed to know Qiu Ning and laughed as he spoke.

Qiu Ning also politely brought a smile on her face before going straight to the point, "Lao Qin, is this a female corpse or a male corpse inside the coffin?"

"It's a female corpse. According to the date of the tomb, it dates back to the Spring and Autumn Battle Country or even earlier, but this female corpse still looks very lifelike." Lao Qin said excitedly with a smile.

"Did you reseal the coffin while you were in the process of transporting it?" Qiu Ning asked with concern.

If the coffin was originally sealed, it would easily cause the body to oxidize and speed up its decay after being pried open.

"Don't worry about Professor Qiu, I really haven't seen such a perfectly preserved corpse. When I first saw it, I thought it was dead for one or two days, so I'll explain the details to you guys after we get to the research institute." The Lao Qin was suspenseful.

"Alright." Qiu Ning nodded, and paused for a while, before turning to Jiang Chao, "Jiang Chao, go and help Lao Qin."

"Alright." Jiang Chao immediately ran over to Lao Qin's side.

To be honest, this Jiamusi's winter was really cold.

However, Jiang Chao knew that the Sister Qiu had given him a chance this time. Jiang Chao also wanted to gain more experience, so he completely took off his clothes of being a coward like Ginger and let all his teachers and classmates think highly of him.

Jiang Chao took the initiative to cooperate with Lao Qin and the other members of the archaeological team to pull the bronze coffin.

However, when Jiang Chao and the others tried to pull at the rope, they realized that there was something huge inside the bronze coffin. Under the combined effort of five or six men, they actually didn't move at all.

"Big guy, use a little more strength! Just drop him off on the car and he'll be OK! " Lao Qin led the group by pulling on the rope and shouting.

After hearing Lao Qin's words, everyone held back their urge to drink their milk and moved the bronze coffin forward a little.

However, such a short distance almost made Jiang Chao, who had the thinnest physique, somersault in the snow.

"Chief Qin, this thing is heavy to begin with. I think we should use a trailer like before. Even if we get a few more people to come, it won't be too far." A burly man from an archaeological team suggested breathlessly.

"Then call the trailer." Lao Qin also had no moves.

It was cold now, and the roads were slick with snow. It took hours to get there, too, after hailing a trailer.

Only when the carriage hooked onto the bronze coffin and slowly dragged it, did Jiang Chao's hands and feet go numb as he got on the carriage with Qiu Ning.

Jiang Chao looked at the bronze coffin at the back of the trailer.

"Sister Qiu, don't you feel that this coffin looks a little strange?" Jiang Chao curiously asked Qiu Ning.

"Don't worry about it. If you're scared, then don't try to be a medical examiner." Qiu Ning said with a serious expression.

"This is the Sister Qiu that I know of." After Jiang Chao heard this, he became somewhat embarrassed.

Ever since the first time he took part in the corpse dismembering, Jiang Chao had a feeling that he was being bitten by a snake for a long time. Honestly speaking, he had never seen an ancient corpse before.

But this time, he also mustered up enough courage. He wanted to change his fate of being a loser, a loser, diaosi.

At the Jiamusi Institute of Archaeology.

The heavy bronze coffin was placed in the mortuary.

There was an operating table and electronic testing equipment in the room.

However, compared to the provincial capital's Ha City Public Security Bureau's forensic examination room, the equipment here seemed somewhat crude.

Jiang Chao was a little perturbed. He was wearing his chemical proof clothes. This was his first time coming into contact with an ancient corpse.

According to Qiu Ning and the Lao Qin, the corpses that were brought out from the tomb chamber had corpse poison, so they were fully prepared.

"Put on the gas mask as well. After opening the coffin, Jiang Chao, you can watch from the side and make your move after you see my arrangements." Actually, for someone as inexperienced as Jiang Chao, according to the rules, he couldn't be carried around with a knife. However, Qiu Ning was also taking care of him so that he could have a good job after graduation.

Putting on the oxygen mask, Jiang Chao watched by the side with a serious expression.

Qiu Ning then turned to Lao Qin and the others and said: "Lao Qin, open this coffin."

"Alright, but Professor Qiu, let me remind you first, I'm not sure if the dry ice in this coffin has melted yet. The dry ice in the coffin is made from a mixture of mercury and other liquids, and the mercury's freezing point is -39 degrees Celsius. But today, the temperature of Jiamusi is around -40 degrees Celsius, so the temperature won't rise again until tomorrow." Lao Qin and the others were also wearing protective gear.

After Lao Qin finished explaining, Qiu Ning frowned: "Open the coffin and take a look. If the mercury in the coffin has not melted and it's not easy to clean it up, then we can make a move after a while."

After Lao Qin heard this, he arranged for the other members of the archaeological team to work together to pry open the bronze coffin.

When he opened the coffin's lid, it was exactly as Lao Qin had said, there was a huge block of dry ice inside the bronze coffin.

The ice formed from mercury was different from ordinary ice. After solidifying, it looked like a crystal coffin, tightly sealing the corpse within.

When Jiang Chao saw the female corpse inside the dry ice clearly, he was greatly shocked.

The female corpse had a picturesque appearance, snow-white skin, large eyes, and an oval face.

The female corpse looked to be around eighteen or nineteen years old. She wore a snow-white fairy like gown, her hair was scattered, but her black hair was above her waist. Her figure was also quite slender, and her pair of white stockings made her legs look very delicate.

The Lao Qin said that he felt that this girl had only died a day or two, but from Jiang Chao's perspective, the woman in the ice seemed to still be alive.

"Lao Qin, where did you find this female corpse? Logically speaking, no matter how advanced the technology is, it would be impossible for a corpse to be so perfectly preserved. " Qiu Ning felt that it was the corpse of a modern man, as a woman, she was surprised at this woman's moving appearance.

"It's about a hundred kilometers away from Fuyuan Port, in the Changbai Mountains area under the jurisdiction of Sha Russia." The Lao Qin spoke the truth.

After pausing for a moment, Lao Qin continued, "We were invited by the Sha family to enter the ancient tomb for archaeological exploration. However, when we arrived, the tomb chamber had already been opened by the Sha family.

"In other words, it's almost impossible for the corpse in the coffin to be swapped?"

Nowadays, technology could transform a famous person's corpse, isolating it from bacteria and allowing it to be stored for 10 to 20 years.

But Qiu Ning had seen those remodelled corpses before, and she could immediately tell that they were dead.

However, the corpse in front of him seemed to be alive. The woman's skin was white and rosy, and her lips were not shriveled.

Hearing Qiu Ning's words, the Lao Qin laughed dryly: "We were just curious about this point, so we transported the corpse back to Professor Qiu and entrusted it to you to be appraised."
