Chapter 60 Ancient Tomb
at this time.
Inside a police car speeding past Su Yun's tricycle.
Zhou Xiaoxiao was lowering his head and fiddling with documents, and answered the phone and said: "Report to Bureau Zhang, Team Chen and I are following the large army and preparing to go up to Ranshan Mountain."
Zhang Zhenghuai's tone on the phone was a little solemn, "Okay, experts have been up the mountain overnight. Remember, you must cooperate with the comrades of the Cultural Relics Bureau. First, protect the country's important cultural relics, and secondly, track down the traces of this group of tomb robbers!"
Zhou Xiaoxiao frowned when he heard this, "Copy that, don't worry, Director Zhang, we'll go check out the condition of the ancient tomb first, and then report to you immediately!"
“Okay, I can rest assured that you and Captain Chen are doing things. Remember to pay attention to all traces near the Ranshan Ancient Tomb. You must not let the other party go unpunished in the boundaries of our Rongyang City!”
"yes!"
Zhou Xiaoxiao hung up the phone, and a thin layer of sweat formed on her forehead.
Since the last time Captain Xu from the military came to inform them that such a group of gangs had come to Rongyang City, the Rongyang City police had taken every precaution, day and night, but they still allowed the gang to succeed.
If it hadn't been for a fishing group who went to the mountains early this morning to look for fishing spots, accidentally discovered a strange pothole in the forest and called the police, I'm afraid there wouldn't be any clues yet.
A chill ran down Zhou Xiaoxiao's back when he thought that the suspect actually carried out a tomb robbery and excavation under the eyes of the entire Rongyang City police.
The criminals this time are different from the past. Not only are they experienced, but they are also difficult to deal with.
Chen Ye and Captain Chen, who was driving, noticed something was wrong with Zhou Xiaoxiao and knew that she was surprised by the suspect's cunning.
So he spoke in relief and said, "Xiaoxiao, you don't have to be afraid, Queen Mother. The criminals we face are like this. They can always do amazing things unexpectedly.
If we could take precautions in advance every time, the world would have been peaceful, wouldn't it? I was full of confidence when I was as young as you, but in the end I discovered that when manpower is limited, we can only do our best or stop losses in time. "
Zhou Xiaoxiao glanced at Captain Chen with a grateful look, and said softly: "I just feel that the plan has been disrupted. I also used Ranshanhui as a suspected location before, and even came to check it myself, but there were still no clues. Come to think of it, these criminals are really brave and a little out of control."
Captain Chen laughed: "You just have too little experience. I have seen criminals who are crazier and smarter than them. You need more experience."
Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded and said noncommittally: "Well, this is an eye-opener. I hope they can be brought to justice as soon as possible."
The foot of the mountain was a bit congested because of the market, but the way up the mountain was exceptionally easy and smooth.
Along the winding mountain road, a group of police cars went up the mountain one after another. However, the construction of the road only stopped when it reached less than halfway up the mountain. It is because the burning mountain is too big and it is not practical to build it to the top of the mountain.
“It’s such a deep mountain road, no wonder no one has discovered it.”
Captain Chen drove past the Ranshan Reservoir and drove deep into the mountains for nearly half an hour. Only then did he see rows of police cars and Cultural Relics Bureau vehicles parked on the roadside.
This is the end of the winding mountain road, and the only way forward is by walking.
“Are you here?” Zhou Xiaoxiao looked around.
The car stalled and stopped behind other vehicles. Captain Chen quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and began to contact the comrades who arrived first.
Just when Zhou Xiaoxiao was about to get off the car, her cell phone suddenly rang with a notification sound.
【The anchor you are following has started a live broadcast, hurry up and watch it live.】
【Today is the last outdoor live broadcast in Ranshan...】
Zhou Xiaoxiao glanced at it and saw that it was Su Yun's live broadcast message.
But now she was not in the mood to watch the live broadcast and immediately chose to ignore the push message.
Zhou Xiaoxiao hurriedly got out of the car and quickly caught up with Captain Chen in front.
The two of them stepped over the guardrail, climbed over a short cliff and entered the dense pine forest.
Subsequently, groups of police officers got out of their cars one after another and walked into the mountains, pointing directly at the scene of the crime.
He stopped and walked out for more than half an hour before finally arriving at the crime scene.
At this time, the sparsely populated forest was already filled with related people hurriedly carrying equipment.
“Team Chen, you are here.”
“Team Chen, Professor Xie from the Cultural Relics Bureau is looking for you.”
As soon as Team Chen and Zhou Xiaoxiao approached the scene, several colleagues gathered around them.
Captain Chen looked around and frowned: "Why haven't you raised the cordon around you?"
"There are very few people coming to this remote mountain and old forest, so there is no rush. I will go and ask someone to pull the line."
Captain Chen looked at another male colleague, "Also, where is the first person who made the alarm?"
The male colleague pointed to the temporary tent set up behind him and said, "It's inside. We have already made a confession. Please go and take a look."
Captain Chen glanced at the simple outdoor shelter behind his male colleague. It had the logo of the Rongyang City Cultural Relics Bureau printed on it. There were also a lot of various equipment and tools piled in the shed.
It seems that this is the temporary office location of the archaeological team.
Captain Chen waved his hand, "You go ahead and do your work."
Turning around, he said to Zhou Xiaoxiao: "Watch and study carefully in a while. This is a good experience."
Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded seriously, "Okay, Team Chen."
After saying that, Captain Chen led Zhou Xiaoxiao to the scene of the crime.
As soon as you see it, in a clearing in the forest, people from the Cultural Relics Bureau have pulled up a square boundary of eight or nine square meters.
In the center is a huge hand-excavated earth pit.
There were seven or eight older men squatting around the pit. They were pushing up their glasses and holding a notebook in their hands to write and draw. From time to time, they were instructing the two younger men in the pit how to shovel.
They are all wearing vests with the logo of the Rongyang City Cultural Relics Bureau. There is no doubt that these are the archaeological experts of the Cultural Relics Bureau.
“Xiao Li, don’t dig at that location. You will destroy the load-bearing capacity of the tunnel. When the tomb is destroyed, you will be a sinner of the country!”
Xiao Li, who was about to shovel in the pit, felt his heart tremble when he heard this, and he was too trembling to dare to shovel.
“Hey, if you dig like this, we have to plan to spend the New Year in the woods. Let’s go for a walk. I’ll do it by myself, old man!”
Professor Xie became very angry when he saw Xiao Li dilly-dallying, and was about to get up and jump down into the pit to do it himself.
However, as soon as the old man got up, he saw Captain Chen and Zhou Xiaoxiao coming towards them.
“Professor Xie, why do you keep asking me for anything?”
Captain Chen stepped forward and politely extended his hand to Professor Xie.
Professor Xie's originally bitter face immediately relaxed. After shaking hands with Captain Chen, he smiled and said: "Captain Chen, you can come here, take a look, take a look."
As he spoke, Professor Xie took Captain Chen's hand and walked around the pit, and said sadly: "This, this, this is an ancient tomb from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Look at what these thieves have done, to annihilate their descendants. thing!"
