Captain Chen was not very good at history, but when he heard that it was an ancient tomb from the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, no matter how shallow his historical attainments were, he knew the importance of this ancient tomb.

This was an ancient tomb from more than two thousand years ago. Its value was immeasurable.

Captain Chen hurriedly expressed his stance. “Professor Xie, don’t worry. We will definitely not let this group of cultural relic criminals off, so we have already mobilized people to investigate urgently.

At the moment, can you guess what important cultural relics have been lost in this tomb?”

Professor Xie’s face darkened. He pondered for a moment. “At the moment, we don’t dare to go in through the rat hole to check. We can only know the weight after excavating the entire ancient tomb..

“It’s just that this group of local rats is a little strange. We discovered that they actually dug out two tomb tunnels in the same tomb. One of them was even filled in. Since they wanted to destroy the traces, why didn’t they fill in the other tunnel?”

Captain Chen fell into deep thought.

Behind him, Zhou Xiaoxiao suddenly said, “Professor Xie, could it be that they’re not the same group, or that this ancient tomb has been raided twice at different times?”

With Zhou Xiaoxiao’s reminder, Professor Xie’s eyes suddenly lit up. He slapped his thigh and said, “Sigh, as expected of our hero policewoman of Hibiscus City. You reminded me.

“These tomb robbers usually have different intentions. In order to hide their treasures, we can’t rule out the possibility that they will enter the tomb privately.”

Hearing this, everyone nodded and felt that it made sense. This was at least a clue. If it could be verified, it meant that the criminal gang was not united and might become the key to solving the case.

Captain Chen thought of something and said, “By the way, Professor Xie, did you leave any footprints or fingerprints near the thieves’ cave when you came?”

“Sigh!”

Professor Xie waved his hand and let out a long sigh of disappointment. He shook his head and said, “According to the changes in the surrounding soil, this group of tomb robbers should have carried out the theft the night before yesterday. The entrance of the cave was washed by the rain and all traces were destroyed.”

“The night before yesterday when it rained heavily? Does that mean we only realized it a day late?”

“Yes, Captain Chen, excavating cultural relics is the job of our Cultural Relics Bureau. The arrest of grave robbers will depend on your police. Alright, go do your own things first. I’ll let you know if there are any new discoveries.”

After knowing that they were already a day slower than the tomb robbers, Professor Xie did not dare to delay. Captain Chen could not afford to delay either.

He immediately gathered the idle police officers nearby and issued an order.

“Comrades, I’ll give everyone an order now. Immediately conduct a blanket search of this mountain. We can’t let go of any traces. Although the traces might be minimal after a heavy rain, we can’t give up. Everyone, perk up and search carefully!”

“Yes!”

Immediately, all the police officers in the vicinity were involved in the search.

Not only manpower, but even police officers brought five professional police dogs to search for traces or clues of the tomb raiders.

After Captain Chen gave the mission, he led Zhou Xiaoxiao to the awning set up by the Cultural Relics Bureau.

Looking at the middle-aged man who was stamping his feet anxiously on the fishing stool, Captain Chen said, “You were the one who called the police?”

When the middle-aged man saw the person in charge, he immediately picked up the fishing gear beside him and said, “Officer, I’ve said everything I know.

Can I leave now?”

Captain Chen snapped, “What are you panicking for?”

The middle-aged man had a bitter expression and said anxiously, “It’s almost nine o’clock. If we’re late, the good fishing spot will be snatched.”

Zhou Xiaoxiao and Captain Chen sweated. They thought to themselves, ‘Why are you still thinking about fishing at a time like this?’

It had to be said that these fishermen were really dedicated. It was said that they were not afraid of floating corpses at night, but they were afraid of not being able to fish.

After that, Captain Chen and the fisherman checked the details of the place where they found the incident again. After seeing that there was no problem, they asked the fisherman to sign it. After leaving his phone number and ID card, they let him go.

After the fisherman left, Zhou Xiaoxiao also stood up and expressed that she wanted to participate in the mountain search.

Captain Chen agreed with this. Currently, there were less than 20 police officers. It was too much work to complete a blanket search of the mountain.

The fact that Zhou Xiaoxiao was willing to volunteer meant that she was very discerning.

After Captain Chen agreed, he stayed at the scene alone with the old professor from the Cultural Relics Bureau.

Zhou Xiaoxiao hurriedly walked into the pine forest.

As time passed, the excavation of the ancient tomb of the Warring States

period gradually began to go smoothly.

When it was almost noon, they had roughly determined the size of the ancient tomb.

It was not big, it could be even said to be very small. It meant that the owner of the tomb was not too big. They were not at the level of a noble at all, but they still had a certain archeological value.

At the same time, among the police officers who were searching the forest on the other side, although the search range kept expanding, the mountain path became more and more difficult to walk on. Especially after the rain, the ground was muddy, and every step seemed to be stepping on a swamp.

When they were three to four miles away from the ancient tomb, a police dog suddenly barked!

All the police officers nearby became vigilant. Without a doubt, the police dog had smelled something amiss.

“Gray Wolf, what did you find?”

The police dog, Gray Wolf, ignored the police officer’s comforting words and dived in a direction.

The police officer quickly untied the rope on Gray Wolf and shouted at his colleague through the walkie-talkie, “I have a situation here. Follow Gray wolf!”

The three police officers who were closest to him arrived immediately and immediately followed Gray Wolf. They trudged all the way to a short slope.

The police dog, Gray Wolf, was digging and sniffing at a small mound.

The police officer could tell at a glance that something was wrong with this small mound. He immediately called out, “There’s new soil outside this mound. There might be something buried inside. Hurry up and help dig it out!”

The three of them worked together and quickly dug open the mound. However, when they saw the scenery, they immediately shuddered!

“Well

“Quickly report the situation! There are clues!”

An older police officer immediately turned on the walkie-talkie.

At the same time, Captain Chen, who was in the ancient tomb, was still recording some information on the scene. At this moment, with the sound of an electric current, a shocking news suddenly came from the walkie-talkie beside him!

“Captain Chen, we found a corpse in the mountains!”

“What? Where?” Captain Chen’s pupils constricted as he exclaimed. “This body was buried in the ground and dug out by our search dog. It’s…”

“Okay, I’ll be right there.”

After saying that, Captain Chen greeted the surprised staff of the Cultural

Relics Bureau and hurriedly ran towards the place where the corpse was found.

Although the distance was not far and it was only a few miles, the roads in the mountains were really difficult to walk.

Captain Chen and some of the police officers spent a long time before arriving at the dump site. They immediately saw the corpse of a man whose body had been dug out.

Captain Chen immediately gave the order to clean up the scene and check the traces. At the same time, he did not excavate the corpses completely for the time being.

Not long after, the traces around were collected. After Captain Chen took photos and collected evidence, he immediately sent a message to the forensic department of the police station.

“Old Qin, a body has been found at the crime scene. We need your forensic department to do an autopsy on the spot.. Hurry!”
