Li Mo hung up the phone and received many messages within a few seconds. Pictures were sent one after another. They were full of various antiques, especially a large number of bronzes covered with green rust.
If the bronzes in the photos are real, something big is going on.
Li Mo looked at them one by one, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became. Judging from the photos, there were food utensils, wine utensils, musical instruments, military and horse decorations, weapons, etc. If these were all real, could they have come from some unknown giant? Stolen from the tomb?
After taking a closer look, there was no obvious dirt on these bronze vessels, and they seemed to have been professionally processed.
Li Mo was a little unsure of what was going on over there, but since he encountered this matter, he would rather deal with it as if it were true.
After thinking about it, Li Mo dialed Qin Yali's phone number.
The man who answered the phone was a man with a deep voice. He smiled and said, "Xiao Mo, your aunt went shopping and forgot to bring her cell phone."
"It's my uncle, I guess. I happen to have something urgent to do and I need to find my aunt. When she comes back, please call me back immediately."
"Okay...Xiao Mo, wait a minute, your aunt is back."
"Who's looking for me?"
"Xiao Mo comes to see you if there is something urgent."
Qin Yali put down the fruit, then took the phone and asked, "Xiao Mo."
"Auntie, the people I sent to track down the Red Gold Dragon tracked all the way to Shaanxi, where they found a cellar with many bronzes hidden in it. But I can't tell from the photos sent back whether all the bronzes are real. , but this matter must not be taken lightly. If it is true, then the problem will be very serious."
Qin Yali's expression changed suddenly, and the bronzes appeared. If they were genuine, they were either stolen from the tomb or from the museum.
Either way, it means the matter is serious.
"Xiao Mo, please send me all those photos and I will report them to my superiors immediately."
"good."
Li Mo forwarded the photo, and about ten minutes later, he received another call from Qin Yali.
"Xiao Mo, whether this matter is true or not, we will treat it as true first. If possible, you can accompany me to Shaanxi, along with people from the task force. The superiors are contacting the airport, and they may contact the military in the middle of the night. When you go to the airport, pack up and bring a change of clothes."
"No problem, I'll ask for a leave from the school first."
Li Mo hung up the phone and contacted Director You of the History Department of Peking University and Director Wang of the History Department of Qingdao University to report the urgent matter and ask for a few days off.
At eleven o'clock in the evening, a jeep parked at the entrance of the wealthy residence complex. Li Mo dragged his suitcase and walked closer to take a look, and said with a smile: "Long time no see, Captain Qin."
"Get in the car and we'll talk on the way."
Li Mo got into the car, and the jeep immediately sped towards the airport.
"You want to go there too?"
"I didn't expect it. This thing happened so suddenly. Considering that you and I have worked together before, my superiors specially transferred me to this task force. When we get there, if the bronzes are authenticated, what will happen? Mobilize more people to support."
Qin Fen said while driving, "I heard the news about your engagement with Sirui from Sijun. I want to congratulate you."
Li Mo thought for a moment before asking: "What is your relationship with Mr. Qin?"
"Hahaha, have you guessed that we are from the same family, and my grandfather is Mr. Qin's cousin. It's just that we are not in Kyoto at all. Last year, we were transferred to Kyoto to serve. Firstly, with your assistance, the national treasure theft case was destroyed. Secondly, Because Grandpa Qin also used some connections behind the scenes. So after all, we are also a family. From now on, we will call me Brother Qin."
"Come around, we are all a family. This world is so big, but this world is so small."
"Hahaha, when I heard what you said, I thought of another person, Fang Wenjing. Her sister is engaged to your cousin Shibin. She will get married this year. From now on, you and her will be considered a family. It is really a fate. It’s amazing, like you said, the world is such a small place.”
"Is Officer Fang engaged to her boyfriend?"
"Shh, don't mention her boyfriend when you see her later."
"What happened? They had a quarrel and broke up?"
"I was really guessed." Qin Fen said with a wry smile, "In our line of work, it's normal to be on a business trip for ten and a half days. Her boyfriend was with her in college, but he ended up hooking up with her outside. Other girls. When she found out, she beat him up hard without saying a word, and then walked away gracefully. That boy was unlucky too. He used to work here in Kyoto, and he was raped for dirty hands and feet during work. People reported it, so the result was unfortunate.”
"Hey, Officer Fang is well done." Li Mo said sincerely, "I think Sijun is a good match for her."
Qin Fen drove a little slower, thought for a moment and said, "After your reminder, I also think they are quite suitable, with the right age and the right family. You can match them up later."
"I just said that casually."
Li Mo waved his hands repeatedly.
When the car drove into the airport, there were already more than ten people waiting in the waiting room. Li Mo walked into the conference room and glanced at Fang Wenjing subconsciously. She was sitting there drinking hot tea with a calm face.
"Xiao Mo, sit here for a while. We'll board the plane in about half an hour."
Qin Yali is the leader of the team this time. In addition to her, there is also an office director whom she has met before. The rest should be members of this task force. They all looked solemn, silent, and waited quietly.
"Qin Bureau, didn't you arrange a bronze appraisal expert this time?"
"You are not the top appraisal expert. I just need you to follow me. Besides, those well-known bronze appraisal experts are older and are not suitable for traveling at this time." Qin Yali gave him a cup of hot water. "It's still cold outside. It’s quite heavy, but it’s much warmer in the south.”
After everyone waited for about half an hour, a soldier came in and informed them that they could board the plane.
Military planes roared into the sky.
When everyone fell asleep, the military plane landed, and a special car took them to the hotel.
It was getting slightly brighter, and Brown Bear had arrived at the hotel to meet Li Mo. He also brought the latest news.
"Boss, this is the information we have collected, please take a look first."
Li Mo had just finished taking a shower. He picked up the information and started reading it. After about ten minutes, he put it down and said, "The female boss who sold me six red gold walking dragons is not from Huizhou, but from Shaanxi?"
"Exactly, because you said that the red gold walking dragon was purchased by her grandfather in Shaanxi, so we investigated her grandfather's information. Unexpectedly, her grandfather was actually in the Shaanxi Museum more than 40 years ago. I worked for a while and then resigned because of illness. Following this information, I continued to investigate in depth, and later I found something unusual. Four people resigned within half a year. You must know that in those days, it was very important to have a public meal. There must be a reason for who will lose their iron job."
The brown bear did not continue.
The information was quite detailed, and Li Mo also roughly knew what was going on. That is, four people from the Shaanxi Museum resigned one after another. One of them came to Huizhou to settle down with the red gold walking dragon, while the other three still stayed there, but their descendants are already well-known entrepreneurs and philanthropists.
When investigating one of the people, the investigators inadvertently followed his car from the city to a tourist resort outside the city. There were several ancestral houses in the resort.
The reason why it attracted their attention was because the descendants of the other two people came to the ancestral house late at night. The three parties met and talked secretly about something, and left one after another before dawn.
So they sneaked in quietly and found a cellar in one of the ancestral houses, where they discovered the bronzes and other antiques.
"Brown Bear, let's sneak in again at night to find out the truth. If it is confirmed that it is a real bronze, the police will naturally attack and we will retreat. If the identification is false, we will pretend that nothing like this happened."
"OK."
After everyone else woke up, Li Mo and Qin Yali discussed what was going to happen next and whether they should take further action would be decided after finding out the truth at night.
During the day, they disguise themselves as tourists and enter tourist resorts.
"Boss, this resort is close to the mountains and is connected in all directions."
Li Mo looked at the surrounding environment, then walked to Qin Fen and whispered: "Brown Bear is a scout, and he can clearly judge the quality of this terrain at a glance. To be honest, this is really a good place. At night, there are no traces of people. It’s sparse, the transportation is developed, and you can advance and retreat.”
"I understand what you mean. As long as you confirm it, Director Qin and I will arrange the rest in the shortest possible time. And we will use the power of other places to avoid leaks."
"Then let's have fun during the day. It's a rare opportunity to go out and relax. You can order whatever you want for lunch. You don't need to think about the rest."
"Hahaha, I suddenly feel like I want to fight against the rich."
Except for Li Mo, Qin Fen and Brown Xiong, several people sent here before were secretly monitoring the situation of those old houses. Except for a few elderly people who normally live there, there are very few people coming in and out at other times.
There is a hotel in the resort, and the three of them waited until it was late at night before walking out of the hotel. No one asked them what they were doing out there. After all, there are many nightlife projects in the resort that you can participate in casually.
Under the leadership of Brown Bear, the three of them walked around several times before secretly entering a remote area. There are still more than a dozen old houses preserved here, which have been well maintained after renovation.
"Brown Bear, where are the others?"
"They are scattered around. They didn't issue a warning, which means we can sneak in directly."
Qin Fen looked at the brown bear and then looked around. It was quiet. Except for a few lights under the night, nothing unusual could be seen.
The old house I discovered before is backed by a mountain and faces the river. It is blocked by trees. In summer, it is really hard to see this old house surrounded by greenery.
