At this moment.

In a police car that sped past Su Yun’s tricycle.

Zhou Xiaoxiao was fiddling with documents with her head lowered. She picked up the phone and said, “Chief Zhang, Captain Chen and I are following behind the main group and preparing to go up the Burning Mountain.”

On the phone, Zhang Zhenghuai’s tone was a little serious. “Alright, the experts have already gone up the mountain overnight. Remember to cooperate with the comrades from the Cultural Relics Bureau. First, protect the country’s important cultural relics. Second, track down this group of tomb raiders!”

Zhou Xiaoxiao frowned when she heard that. “Got it. Chief Zhang, don’t worry. Let’s go and check on the situation in the ancient tomb first and report to you immediately! ”

“Alright, I’m not worried about you and Captain Chen. Remember to pay attention to all traces near the ancient tomb of the Burning Mountain. We can’t let the other party escape unpunished in our territory!”

“Yes! ”

Zhou Xiaoxiao hung up the phone, and a layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Ever since Commander Xu from the military came to inform him that such a group of people had come to Hibiscus City, the Hibiscus City police had been on high alert, day and night, but they had still let the other party succeed.

If not for the fact that a fishing crowd had gone to the deep mountains to find a fishing spot early this morning and accidentally discovered a strange pit in the forest and called the police, there would probably be no clues until now.

At the thought that the suspect had actually carried out a tomb raid under the nose of the entire Hibiscus City police, Zhou Xiaoxiao felt a chill run down her spine.

The criminals this time were not like before. Not only were they experienced, but they were also very difficult to deal with.

Captain Chen Ye, who was driving, realized that something was wrong with Zhou Xiaoxiao. He knew that she was shocked by the suspect’s cunning.

Hence, he comforted her. “Xiaoxiao, you don’t have to be too afraid. That’s what the criminals we’re facing are like. They can always do unexpected and shocking things.

“If we had taken precautions every time, the world would have been peaceful, right? I was full of confidence when I was young like you, but in the end, I realized that when manpower is limited, we can only do our best or stop our losses in time.”

Zhou Xiaoxiao looked at Captain Chen with gratitude and said softly, “I just feel that my plan has been disrupted. Previously, I also designated the Burning Mountain as a suspect location and even personally investigated it, but I didn’t find any clues. I didn’t expect these criminals to be so bold. It’s a little out of my control.”

Captain Chen laughed. “You’re just too inexperienced. I’ve seen criminals who are crazier and smarter than them. You still have to train more.”

Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded and said noncommittally, “Yes, I’ve opened my eyes this time. I hope I can bring them to justice as soon as possible.”

The foot of the mountain was a little congested because of the market, but the road up the mountain was especially easy and smooth.

Along the winding mountain road, a group of police cars went up the mountain one after another. However, the road stopped when it was less than halfway up the mountain. Because the Burning Mountain was too big, it was unrealistic to build it to the top.

“It’s such a deep mountain path. No wonder no one noticed.”

Captain Chen drove all the way past the Burning Mountain Reservoir and drove deep into the mountains for nearly half an hour before he saw rows of police cars and vehicles from the Cultural Relics Bureau parked by the roadside.

This was the end of the winding mountain path. If they wanted to advance further, they could only walk.

“Are we there?” Zhou Xiaoxiao craned her neck to look.

The car stopped and parked behind the other cars. Captain Chen quickly picked up the walkie-talkie and began to contact the comrades who had arrived first.

Just as Zhou Xiaoxiao was about to get out of the car, her phone suddenly rang with a notification.

[The streamer you’re following has started the livestream. Hurry up and watch the livestream…]

[Today is the last outdoor livestream on the Burning Mountain…] Zhou Xiaoxiao glanced at it. It was Su Yun’s livestream message.

However, she was not in the mood to watch the livestream now. She immediately chose to ignore the notification.

“Captain Chen, wait for me.”

Zhou Xiaoxiao hurriedly got out of the car and quickly caught up to Captain

Chen.

The two of them stepped over the guardrail, crossed a short cliff, and entered the dense pine forest.

Then, teams of police officers got out of the car one after another and walked into the mountains, pointing at the crime scene.

After walking for more than half an hour, they finally arrived at the crime scene.

At this moment, the deserted forest was already filled with relevant personnel rushing past with equipment.

“Captain Chen, you’re here.”

“Captain Chen, Professor Xie from the Cultural Relics Bureau is looking for you.”

As soon as Captain Chen and Zhou Xiaoxiao approached the scene, a few colleagues surrounded them.

Captain Chen looked around and frowned. “Why haven’t you pulled up the surrounding cordon?”

“Very few people come to this deep mountain forest, so there’s no hurry. I’ll get someone to pull the line now.”

Captain Chen looked at another male colleague. “Also, where’s the first person who first called the police?”

The male colleague pointed at the temporary tent that had been set up behind him. “It’s inside. We’ve already given a statement. Go over and take a look.”

Captain Chen glanced at the simple outdoor shelter behind his male colleague. It was printed with the logo of the Hibiscus City Cultural Relics Bureau. There was also a large pile of various equipment and tools in the shelter.

It seemed that this was the temporary office of the archeological team.

Captain Chen waved his hand. “You guys go ahead.”

He turned to Zhou Xiaoxiao and said, “Watch and learn well later. This is a good experience.”

Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded seriously. “Alright, Captain Chen.”

With that, Captain Chen led Zhou Xiaoxiao to the crime scene.

He saw that in a forest clearing, the people from the Cultural Relics Bureau had pulled up a square area of eight to nine square meters.

In the middle was a huge man-made pit.

There were seven or eight older elders squatting around the pit. They kept pushing their glasses and were writing and drawing in a notebook. From time to time, they would point out to the two younger men in the pit how to shovel.

They were all wearing vests with the logo of the Hibiscus City Cultural Relics Bureau. Without a doubt, they were the archeologists of the Cultural Relics Bureau.

“Xiao Li, don’t dig that spot. You’ll destroy the weight of the tunnel. When the tomb is destroyed, you’ll be a sinner of the country!”

Xiao Li, who was about to shovel in the pit, trembled when he heard this. He trembled and did not dare to shovel anymore.

“Heh, we have to plan to spend the New Year in this forest if we dig like you. Let’s go, let’s go. I’ll do it myself!”

Professor Xie was furious when he saw Xiao Li dawdling. He was about to get up and jump into the pit to do it himself.

However, as soon as he stood up, he saw Captain Chen and Zhou Xiaoxiao walking towards him.

“Professor Xie, why are you looking for me?”

Captain Chen walked forward and politely extended his hand to Professor Xie. Professor Xie’s originally bitter face immediately relaxed. After shaking Captain Chen’s hand, he smiled and said, “Captain Chen, you’re finally here. Look, look…”

As he spoke, Professor Xie pulled Captain Chen’s hand and circled the pit. He said bitterly, “This, this, this… This is an ancient tomb of the Spring and Autumn Warring States.. Look at what these thieves have done to do such a thing!”
