Chapter 351 Tomb Robber

On a dark rainy night, several figures tiptoed past under the outer wall of Beidu No. [-] Middle School, and came to the periphery of a construction site surrounded by colored steel fences. The leader lifted a piece of foam board on the ground. A big hole was exposed...then several people easily got into the construction site from the big hole.

"Third brother, why do you think the archaeological team stopped working?" a monkey-cheeked man with a sharp mouth whispered.

The middle-aged man who was called the third brother snorted softly and said, "Those experts and professors know how to be poor, saying that the temperature is too humid these days, and rashly opening the tomb may cause too many changes to the environment inside... ..."

Seeing this, a boy wearing glasses hurriedly said flatteringly, "The third brother is still wise, let's take advantage of this free time, and we will definitely be able to pick up a lot of good things for nothing!"

The third brother sneered and said, "Actually, what's the difference between those archaeological teams and us? They all steal the tombs of ancient people. Why are they legal and we are illegal? If you don't believe me, you can ask the owner of the tomb to see if he is willing to let us go." The archaeological team dug his tomb?!"

At this time, several people came to a tomb covered with a rainproof cloth. The third brother pointed to the bottom and said, "That stone tablet was dug out from here. From past experience, the entrance to the tomb must be right here." gone."

After hearing this, the others took out a few steel pipes from their bodies one after another, and quickly connected them with threads. At this moment, Cuntou unloaded the backpack behind him, which contained several shovel heads of different specifications. More complicated than the digging tools used by the archaeological team...

Afterwards, several people took advantage of the moonlight to take off the rainproof cloth and got in one after another, leaving only four eyes outside to watch out for the wind, while the third brother who walked in the front was holding an old-fashioned calcium carbide lamp in his hand.

The reason why these tomb robbers choose to use open flames for lighting is mainly to observe the air quality in the tomb at any time. If the color of the calcium carbide lamp flame changes significantly, they must retreat outside immediately to avoid lack of oxygen or inhalation. Toxic gas.

Because archaeology is a meticulous job, the staff of the archaeological team have to dig and clear the earthwork at the same time. The progress is usually not fast, but the tomb robbery is different. The third brother and the few people he brought are all veterans at first glance. In a short time, the archaeological team's work for a few days was finished...

The moment the tomb was opened, several people couldn't help but cheered, but then quickly shut their mouths, because they were afraid that the security guards who were patrolling would hear them if they made too much noise.The third brother was the first to drill down from the robbery hole, and after confirming that there was oxygen below, he called the bitches to follow.

After the few people went down to the main tomb, they were all overjoyed, because judging from the situation in the tomb, this place had not been visited by other colleagues before, and the funerary objects were all neatly stacked, including some large bronzes, pottery pots, and Some brightly colored lacquer boxes...

Bronze ware and pottery were not their focus this time, because the former was too heavy, while the latter was fragile, so the tomb robbers locked their eyes on several large wooden boxes and an exquisite lacquer box.

At this time, the third brother opened the exquisitely patterned lacquer box casually, and found that there were some women's hairpins and jade ornaments in it. From this, it was deduced that the owner of the tomb should be a noble woman in the Warring States Period.

After Cuntou saw the contents in the lacquer box, his eyes lit up immediately and he said, "Third brother, this box alone is enough for the brothers to eat for several years, right?"

The third brother laughed and said, "Let's just say you don't know much. What's valuable is not what's inside, but this lacquer box..."

A tall and burly man next to him smiled naively when he heard it, "I said that it's right to follow the third brother, and the third brother understands!"

Unexpectedly, when several people rushed to flatter the third brother, the calcium carbide lamp placed on the ground suddenly went dark, and the flame changed from bright yellow to dark green... The third brother was shocked when he saw it , immediately took the lacquer box and was about to take people out, but at this moment, he saw the boss with an inch head and staring eyes, looking behind everyone in horror, he opened his mouth wide but couldn't say a word.

After a few days of investigation, the police found that Chen Gaoshan not only had contact with the last deceased Wu Laoliu before his death, but even had a drink with him once. Duan Feng retrieved the video surveillance in the small restaurant, I found that when the two were eating, Wu Laoliu kept his hands on the bench next to him, and seemed to be very nervous about the things on it, but because of the problem of light and angle, it was difficult to see what was on the bench in the video ...

However, according to the proprietress of the restaurant, "It looked like something wrapped in clothes. The man was very precious at the time. I saw a customer who couldn't find a stool, so I wanted to put the clothes on the table for him to make room for the stool. As a result, His staring boss asked me what I wanted to do?! In the end, I had to take out a stool from the back kitchen!"

After Song Jiang and Meng Zhe watched the surveillance, they couldn't see clearly what was wrapped in Wu Laoliu's clothes, but one thing is certain, that thing probably came out of the archaeological site...

After Ke Duanfeng contacted the archaeological team, the other party did not know whether any cultural relics were lost. After all, they did not have a list of the buried objects in the ancient tomb. All of them were opened, so they speculated that it should not be an important funeral object.

As a result, when the police were fully investigating the case of Chen Gaoshan and Wu Laoliu, something happened at the archaeological site... First, the patrolling security found that the rainproof cloth above the tomb had been tampered with. The hole leads directly to the tomb, and then a man wearing glasses ran madly to the police station to report the crime, insisting that several of his friends had all died in the ancient tomb!
As soon as Duan Feng saw that the two sides were aligned, he knew that something was going to go wrong, so he immediately led his people to the archaeological site, but at first the archaeological team didn't agree with them going to the tomb rashly, but when they heard that there might be grave robbers If they died inside, they had no choice but to reluctantly agree with Duan Feng to take them down... As a result, after they went down to the ancient tomb, they saw a few mummified corpses with the same death appearance as Wu Laoliu and Chen Gaoshan.

According to the account of the man wearing glasses, his name is Fu Zichao, nicknamed Four Eyes, and he is in charge of a tomb robbery gang. He went there with four other members of the gang that night, Third Brother, Cuntou, Dahan, and Lengzi Archaeological site.

The third brother is their boss, who is responsible for finding the shovel under the tomb, and almost never makes a trip in vain every time.This time, it was the third brother who heard the news that the archaeological team had to suspend work for a few days for some reason, so they wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to go to the tomb early and order the treasures out.
