Xu Lin got out of the car with everyone.
The architectural style of Xuan'an City Bureau is very different from that in the south. The architectural style here is older. There is a large yard in front of the main entrance, and there are many cars parked in the yard.
Unlike the buildings in the south that often have more than ten or twenty floors, this city bureau building only has four floors, but it occupies a large area.
Arriving at the lobby of the Xuan'an Municipal Bureau, the solemn national emblem stood in the middle of the main hall on a column more than three meters high.
Xu Lin led his men to salute in front of the national emblem.
"Team Leader Xu?"
At this moment, a somewhat uncertain voice sounded.
Everyone turned their heads and saw a middle-aged man holding a thick document standing in front of them.
Behind the middle-aged man, there were two other people standing there holding files over a foot thick.
Xu Lin looked at the middle-aged man's police rank, Second Class Superintendent.
It was immediately clear that this person should be the director of the Xuan'an Municipal Bureau, Wang Wantong.
"Xiaohong, help me get it quickly." Wang Wantong smiled awkwardly at Xu Lin, and then asked a policewoman who walked over to help him get something.
After the policewoman took over the file in his hand, Wang Wantong came to Xu Lin.
Xu Lin immediately saluted and said: "Director Wang, I am Xu Lin, the leader of the special case team. I am very happy to meet you."
Wang Wantong returned the salute, then reached out and shook Xu Lin's hand.
"Team Leader Xu, I've heard of him for a long time."
Xu Lin: "Bureau Wang, we are here with a mission this time."
Wang Wantong smiled: "I know, I will personally take people to the database and sort out all the information you need."
As he spoke, he pointed to the files held by the three people behind him.
"Here is all the information about the Sangmenxing gang. It's embarrassing to say that we have still not eliminated this gang for seven years."
"We arrested a few before, but they were all minions. We are not afraid of Team Leader Xu's jokes. We haven't been able to catch any of their core members."
Xu Lin's expression was also somewhat solemn, and he said: "I did catch one, but even this core member doesn't know the information about the person behind it."
"Team Leader Xu is talking about an old bachelor?" Wang Wantong asked.
Xu Lin nodded: "Yes, this old bachelor is very mysterious."
"Hey! Who says it isn't? Team Leader Xu, let me tell you the truth, we once sent three undercover agents to infiltrate this gang. One of them died. Although the other two completed their mission, they were the bait thrown by them. Take down the other two gangs entrenched in the northwest."
"So far, the tomb robbing industry in the entire northwest is almost dominated by the old bachelor's family. However, so far, we have still not been able to trace their core personnel."
"This organization is like a strict spy organization, even... more strict than a spy organization."
Having said this, Wang Wantong sighed.
A group of tomb robbers could not be eliminated after 7 years. For the Xuan'an Municipal Bureau, that was a huge shame.
Xu Lin nodded, he also thought this case was very difficult.
"Wang Bureau, let's go in and talk. I'll take my people to read the information for a while."
"Okay, let's go! I've prepared an office for you."
Wang Wantong said, leading Xu Lin and others upstairs.
Their office was on the third floor. After going upstairs, Xu Lin and his team members began to look through the files.
Every case of the past seven years must be read through in detail.
As their understanding deepened, they became more and more frightened by the cultural relics involved in this case.
"At an auction in Hong Kong City in 2017, cultural relics from the Western Han Dynasty appeared for the first time, and targets began to appear."
"In 2018, cultural relics that were recently unearthed appeared in nine auctions in Hong Kong City, Macao City, Eagle Sauce, etc. For some experts, they can tell the difference between those newly unearthed and those unearthed before. come out."
"This year, the entire northwest was shaken, and Daxia officials were furious."
"In 2019, cultural relic auction cases occurred all over the world. The Sangmen Star finally surfaced. The number of cultural relics involved was shocking."
"In 20, 21, 22, and 23 years, plus the previous 3 years, in just 7 years, at least close to 50 pieces of precious cultural heritage have fallen overseas, with a total value of more than 14 billion."
"The most famous of them is a set of chimes auctioned in 2022. Although this set of bronze chimes is not as good as Zeng Houyi's chimes, there are still 36 bronze chimes, which can be said to be a priceless national treasure. The auction value at that time , hitting 3.48 billion directly.”
"Shangmen Xing can be said to have become famous in one battle."
"But even so, the official investigation found nothing. This organization that combines tomb robbing and trafficking did not leave any clues."
…
Looking at the information in front of them, Xu Lin and the others fell into deep thought.
This case is no less than an unsolved case.
Just as they were sorting through the files and case details, Wang Wantong suddenly walked in from outside.
"Team Leader Xu, we just received a tip that another robbery cave was discovered on the Hexi Mountain side. Now our people are preparing to go there. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Xu Lin stood up immediately after hearing this and said: "Special Case Team, let's go!"
"yes!"
Everyone stood up, including Fang Qingying, and gathered quickly.
Then he left the compound with the city bureau's car and rushed towards Hexi Mountain in Xuan'an City.
The land in the northwest is vast and vast. After walking for nearly two hours, they arrived at Hexi Mountain.
As soon as we entered the mountainous area, there were no mountain roads around.
Because there are many tombs around, the development here has not extended to the suburbs, and the original landform features of the land are still preserved.
There are no roads in the mountainous area, so everyone can only walk.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the front suddenly opened up. They came to a valley surrounded by giant trees.
Wang Wantong and his men quickly stepped forward and came to a villager. After saying a few words, he set up a cordon around the village.
In addition, archaeological experts also came.
If it is determined that the tomb has been stolen, then they will carry out rescue excavation.
"Stop for a moment."
Xu Lin took a step forward and scanned the surroundings sharply. Then he came to the entrance of the burglary cave, which was only about 50 centimeters in diameter, and took a slight sniff.
"It smells like blood."
He spoke calmly, then stood up and said to Han Xing: "Go in and see what's going on. Be careful."
"yes!"
Han Xing nodded and was ready to go down immediately.
Wang Wantong came over and said, "Team Leader Xu, are you sure?"
Xu Lin smiled and said: "My nose has always been better than ordinary people. There is not just a trace of blood smell, but a lot of it."
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions changed.
Han Xing immediately tied a safety rope around his waist, and then with the help of Lao Ma and Lao Ye, he went down from the entrance of the robbery cave.
"Fuck!"
In less than a minute, exclamations sounded from below.
