The discovery came so sudden to Professor Ming that it took him several minutes before he recollected himself. The solution was so simple that he cursed himself for not finding it out sooner. He immediately took out his android phone from his pocket and called his father. Ignoring the sound of library door closing behind him.

Professor Ming came from a long line of historians whose father , Professor Wu , was a renown widely for the life-long research on the Chinese history during the Mongol Empire in early thirteenth century. He was regularly invited as a speaker on various historical exhibitions across the world.

It was inevitable that Ming himself was involved in the history so early in his life. He would accompany his father on the road trips and saw for himself the artifacts recovered during the digs oversee by his father. Ming’s area of interest was the final resting place of one of the most famous and blood thirsty conquers , Genghis Khan.

As far as history recorded , those who witnessed the funeral of Genghis Khan were also his last victims. No records of his tomb existed in the history. There had been several leads that pointed the resting place as the mound of earth outside Beijing but no official approval has been given by the Chinese government.

“Pa , I found it” , Ming spoke with glints in his eyes and his hands shaking.

“The tomb’s location?”

“Yes. Its right in front of us all these while! It is at …” , the only sound heard from the other side was a loud thud and it all went silent.

“Ming? Son? What happened?” , repeated the speaker as Professor Ming’s body lied on the floor , no longer moving.

Police would later record that event as murder by person or persons unknown but the fact was that all the notes were lost as well. It seems that there are secrets that are not meant to be discovered by anyone.

The End
