Chapter 47

"Holy crap!"

"Fang Hao, you..."

When Ding He first started speaking.

Both his momentum and his voice were filled with a sense of oppression.

Yet, by the second half, it slowly fell apart.

To the point that...

He himself was dumbfounded.

Because right now, on the display screen in front of him.

Four large green characters made his brain crash.

There, on the results bar of the lie detector, were four large characters—

[Verification Passed].

At this moment.

The interrogation room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The two criminal police officers on the scene couldn't help but hold their breath.

The way they looked at Fang Hao.

Was also replaced by shock and disbelief.

This... such an outrageous statement...

Was actually true!?

Several previous, plausible answers had all been rejected by the lie detector.

Yet this most outlandish reply right before them.

Was actually passed by the lie detector!?

And outside the interrogation room window.

Watching this "bizarre" scene.

Those special investigation team police officers and the program staff... were all stunned.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What is he doing!?

Everyone had thought of countless reasons for why Fang Hao possessed these cultural relics.

But they never once thought... that these things belonged to Fang Hao in the first place.

As for the so-called descendant of Cao Cao, they had merely listened to it as a joke.

And so.

When the truth, verified by the lie detector, was truly placed before them.

Everyone was stupefied.

[What the hell... this is actually true!?]

[Holy crap! Holy crap, holy crap! Damn it, am I dreaming!?]

[God... this is the most outrageous thing to happen this year!]

[Is Fang Hao really a descendant of Cao Cao!?]

[Damn it... even if Liu Cixin came here, he'd have to say this is more sci-fi than his novels, right?]

[So... Cao Cao's descendant is really surnamed Fang!?]

[Oh my god! What has happened to this world?]

The audience members all widened their eyes.

Looking at Fang Hao on the screen, whose own expression was uncertain.

This was definitely the time his demeanor looked most like he was lying since the program began.

Yet this time...

It was passed!?

So much so that everyone couldn't help but have a thought arise.

This damn thing...

Could it be that the lie detector is broken?

"Uh... Team Leader Xu."

"I'm not doubting you, ha."

"I'm just saying, is it possible that this lie detector has some kind of damage?"

Inside the interrogation room.

Officer Ding He lowered his voice and quietly asked Xu Qiong.

"I don't really understand the machine's principles, I just had this thought..."

"Is there something wrong with the positive and negative poles of the test?"

"For example... it shows correct when he lies."

"And shows he's lying when he tells the truth?"

Ding He looked at Xu Qiong in front of him and asked in a low voice.

In front of the camera.

The special investigation team leader at this moment... Xu Qiong was starting to doubt her life.

She had personally calibrated this equipment.

And half an hour ago.

She had even specifically asked the accompanying technical staff to test it.

Everything showed there were no problems.

But how did it get to this point with Fang Hao?

Such an outrageous answer...

Could also be passed by the lie detector?

Turning back without leaving a trace, Xu Qiong glanced at the camera behind her.

At this moment, hundreds of thousands of viewers across the internet were watching this scene.

She had to bite the bullet and continue the interrogation.

"You said that was a place you knew from childhood."

"Are you trying to say that you knew the location of Cao Cao's tomb when you were a child?"

"And because of that, you've been obsessed with Cao Cao's mausoleum ever since you grew up?"

"And so, for the past few years, you've been continuously committing tomb-robbing crimes?"

Xu Qiong asked like this.

This was already the most imaginative hypothesis she could make.

In order to believe the lie detector.

However, it was a pity.

She guessed wrong.

It was around 11:50 at night.

An uninvited guest arrived at the Zhangzhou Gongan Bureau.

It was that titan of the archaeological world who had been hospitalized due to high blood pressure—

Professor Ding Xuan.

As a titan of the archaeological world.

The only person representing the Dragon Kingdom's official side to excavate Cao Cao's tomb.

His arrival.

Directly interrupted the special investigation team's interrogation of Fang Hao for the time being.

Before Ding Xuan arrived.

The "Archaeology Today" program team was in a state of having no leader.

Therefore, they hadn't had much say.

And now, after he arrived at the scene.

Under the host's introduction.

He immediately had a face-to-face meeting with Team Leader Xu Qiong of the special investigation team.

In front of the camera.

The audience was incredibly excited.

After all, the two protagonists of "Directly at the Scene" and "Archaeology Today."

Were finally in the same frame of the century.

However, before everyone could express themselves.

Ding Xuan brought a piece of news.

A piece of news that, for Team Leader Xu Qiong and Deputy Team Leader Ding He...

Could be called a bolt from the blue.

"I came here specifically to tell you that you seem to have arrested the wrong person!"

"This Fang Hao... based on my professional judgment."

"He is innocent!"

At this moment.

Earth-shattering!

Along with the old Professor Ding Xuan speaking.

The originally lively reception scene.

Became instantly silent in the next moment.

Countless people felt a chill rising from their pores.

Everyone suddenly turned their heads to look at Fang Hao sitting in the interrogation room.

Their pupils contracted sharply.

Ding He's cold sweat broke out on the spot.

"Professor Ding, oh Professor Ding..."

"Saying such things at this time is really terrifying..."

As the first person to officially open the Wei Wang tomb.

Professor Ding Xuan's state of mind had experienced great ups and downs over the past two days.

First, knowing that Cao Cao's tomb had been robbed.

Professor Ding Xuan's blood pressure soared, and he was hospitalized for two days.

And later, after knowing that all the tomb robbers had been caught.

His originally outrageously high blood pressure "duang" dropped back down!

He immediately discharged himself from the hospital and tracked the whereabouts of the program team.

He chased all the way from Xudu City to Zhangzhou City.

And tracked all the way from Fang Hao's residential area to Fang Hao's house.

His actions were always one step behind the program team.

And the moment Professor Ding Xuan arrived at Fang Hao's basement.

He felt his blood pressure, which had just calmed down, almost soar again.

Finally found it...

The stolen treasures from Cao Cao's tomb had finally been recovered!

The excited old Professor Ding danced with joy.

He immediately forgot about any case or tomb robbing...

He directly took materials from the studio upstairs and found tools like a magnifying glass.

He seriously watched the various treasures in the basement.

However, it didn't matter if he didn't look...

Once he looked, he saw the problem.

He was surprised to find...

The state of all the cultural relics seemed strangely weird.

It seemed that these cultural relics did not possess... the state of being excavated from a coffin or soil.

But instead, damn it...

They were handed-down treasures!?
