Since Poplar Iron Bull had to protect the psychic orb every step of the way, the two of them simply stayed in Ding Sicheng's room, and the others went out to buy food and came back to eat.

Ding Lingling went to contact the museum by the way, and decided to send the spiritual orb over in the afternoon.

Fortunately, nothing happened in the afternoon, and the poplar iron bull escorted the psychic orb into the museum vault, and then returned with Ding Lingling.

At that time, it was close to the end of the year, Ding Sicheng needed to recuperate his body, and secondly, he was busy at the end of the year, so he could only put aside the matter of the psychic bead for the time being, and wait until the year after the year to make plans.

Thankfully, nothing happened for a while.

Since the tomb search team had no other important tasks, they continued to participate in the excavation and research of the terracotta warriors and horses, as they did during the last free period.

At the end of the year, in the evaluation of advanced collectives and advanced individuals, Baiyang Tieniu was rated as the young pacesetter of archaeology this year because of his outstanding contributions, and the salary level of both of them was raised to the deputy section level. At the same time, in Xi'an City, two people will be rewarded with a two-bedroom and two-hall house.

The news was transmitted back to Tie Niu's hometown, and Tie Niu's parents were so happy that they set off a few big firecrackers that day.

When he went home for the New Year, Tie Niu also brought back the red apricot, and Tie Dad and Tie Ma were even more happy with tears.

They didn't praise their son's competitiveness, but just grabbed the hand of a poplar who came to the house for the New Year, and shook it again and again saying that it was the poplar who brought their son to the right path after all.

Poplar Iron Bull has been poisoned by the blood wolf, and more than eight months have passed now, and from the sixth month later, the two of them will go to the night of the full moon, although they will still feel hot, but the symptoms are already very mild, presumably under the combined effect of the immortal medicine and the golden python gallbladder, the blood wolf toxicity in the two of them has been basically lifted.

spent the New Year with He Meimei at home, and Baiyang went to Beijing to pay New Year's greetings to Ding Sicheng on the fifth day of the new year.

He and Ding Lingling are a couple, this New Year's greeting naturally has another meaning, Tie Niu and Hongxing also understand this, so they did not follow Baiyang to Beijing together, but waited until it was time to go to work, and went directly to Xi'an to pay Ding Sicheng a New Year's greeting.

Ding Lingling came to the station to pick up the poplars, even if the couple didn't say a word when they met, just looking at each other, they would feel beautiful and sweet.

Bai Yang had nothing to say, and asked if Ding Sicheng was good, but Ding Lingling frowned suddenly and said, "My dad went to Xi'an in advance!"

Bai Yang was slightly stunned and asked, "There are still two days off, why did Uncle Ding go early?"

Ding Lingling endured it for a while, and then lowered her voice and said: "The vault of the museum was stolen, and the psychic orb and the spirit mirror were all stolen!"

Poplar was taken aback and asked with an "ah" voice, "When did this happen, and why did this happen?"

"The exact time of the theft is still uncertain, it is estimated that it should be on Chinese New Year's Eve! Although the security personnel of the museum do not rest during the Spring Festival, they will inevitably relax a little on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve! But at that time, they did not immediately notice it, and it was not until yesterday that the deputy director on duty entered the vault to inspect, and only then did he feel that something was wrong, and as a result, after careful inspection, he found that the Spiritual Treasure Mirror and the Psychic Orb were all lost! My father got the news last night and rushed to Xi'an directly by night train!"

Ding Lingling's words made Bai Yang silent for a while, and just as the bus came, the two didn't talk about it anymore.

Ding Lingling's mother passed away a few years ago, and Ding Lingling also has a married sister named Ding Dongdong.

may be because Ding Sicheng was going to Xi'an in advance, and he was afraid that Baiyang would come to the house without one to entertain, and the other would gossip with Ding Lingling's lonely men and widows, so Ding Dongdong also went back to his parents' house today.

When Poplar Tie Niu arrived, Ding Dongdong was almost ready to eat, and it could be seen from her eyes that she was very satisfied with Poplar's prospective brother-in-law.

After lunch, Ding Lingling took Bai Yang out to walk around the surrounding streets, and Bai Yang discussed with Ding Lingling and simply went to Xi'an, so as not to find anyone around him when Ding Sicheng needed manpower.

Ding Lingling didn't have an opinion, so she immediately went to the train station with Baiyang to buy a ticket, and then came back to talk to Ding Dongdong.

Ding Dongdong inevitably blamed them, saying that they didn't discuss with her before deciding.

That night, Ding Dongdong cooked dinner early, and Ding Dongdong's lover also rushed over to meet with Baiyang. After dinner, Ding Dongdong and his wife sent Ding Lingling and Baiyang to the train station.

arrived in Xi'an at noon the next day, but failed to see Ding Sicheng immediately.

Ding Sicheng didn't come back until late in the evening, and he probably expected that once he knew this information, Poplar would definitely come to Xi'an immediately.

So Ding Sicheng was not surprised at all when he saw Bai Yang and Ding Lingling, but sighed and said: "You guys have nothing to do, and now the police are completely confused, and they are even doing an internal investigation, because the police suspect that this matter is likely to be stolen by the museum staff!"

"This must be impossible, right? It must have been the master who sneaked into our box on the train!" said Poplar.

"I also think so, so I have reported the matter to the police, but the police are a little unconvinced, because they have not found any signs of outsiders entering the vault! And all the gates and locks in the vault are intact, in the words of the police, the thieves entered the vault with a key 100%!"

"For that master, this isn't a very difficult thing, right?" Bai Yang immediately said, "For example, that person can use the acupoint technique to stop the person on duty, and then take the key of the person on duty and enter the vault." After stealing the Psychic Mirror and the Psychic Orb, he unknowingly returned the key to the officer on duty. When the officer on duty comes to his senses, he will not know that such a thing has happened!"

"Yes, your speculation is the same as mine! But the problem is that you know and know the acupoint technique, but no one else knows, and you and I don't have this kind of ability, even if we say it, the police won't accept it!" Ding Sicheng sighed again, "What's more, the staff on duty don't have the keys to each opening gate in the innermost layer of the vault, and the spirit mirror and the psychic orb are still separated in the two branches." This person has to sneak into the homes of several deans and vice presidents who have the keys to the vault overnight, steal the keys in their hands, and then rush to the museum, and then subdue the security guards on duty, search the outer vault keys from the security guards on duty, and take away the two treasures, and send these keys back to the homes of several deans and vice presidents unknowingly, this kind of thing is simply a fantasy, if I were the police, I would not believe that there can be such gods in the world!"

Bai Yang thought about it carefully and said: "But I believe that the person who defeated me and Tie Niu has this ability! The only difficulty now is that this person must master the structure of the vault in advance, and figure out which people will have the keys to the vault! This person has been waiting for two months before starting during the Chinese New Year, of course, because the security guards of the vault will inevitably be lax during the Chinese New Year, but I think the more important reason is that this person needs time to investigate the two points I just said!"

"That's right!" Ding Sicheng nodded, "But you believe me, but I can't provide these information to the police, so I can only wait for the police to investigate slowly! Now that the director of the museum and several vice presidents have all been suspended, the superior has ordered me to temporarily take over the post of director of the museum, and cooperate with the police to find out the truth as soon as possible and recover the two treasures." Honestly, I'm feeling a lot of pressure right now!"

Bai Yang can understand Ding Sicheng's feelings very well.

As the leader of the specially established grave search team, Ding Sicheng's title is by no means below the director of the museum, but his authority is far greater than that of the director of the museum.

Therefore, the higher-level leaders asked Ding Sicheng to temporarily take over the position of director of the museum, first of all, of course, it is a kind of trust in him, but secondly, it is also a warning to him.

After all, he was under the direct jurisdiction of the senior leaders, but such a major theft occurred at the location of the base camp of the tomb search team, and the theft was the treasure that the tomb search team had just handed over to the museum. From these two points, it is difficult for Ding Sicheng to completely shirk his responsibility.

The most troublesome thing is that a few of them can clearly determine who the thief is, but this person's ability is definitely not something that ordinary humans can have, and even the Poplar Iron Bull, who has eaten immortal medicine and golden python gall, is not his opponent, so you can imagine how difficult it is to catch this person.

In particular, the police did not believe that this person really existed, and it was even more difficult to find the clues of this person with the help of their grave search team.

But since the responsibility has been assigned, even if there are thousands of difficulties and dangers, Ding Sicheng can only bear it.

And what Poplar can do is only to complete the tasks assigned by Ding Sicheng with all his might, and share a little bit for Ding Sicheng.

So Bai Yang didn't say much, only asked Ding Sicheng what he could do.

Ding Sicheng thought about it for a moment and said: "I think that person will definitely enter the tomb of the First Emperor after getting the Spiritual Mirror and the Psychic Orb, so I have asked the police to strengthen the vigilance and protection of the Tomb of the First Emperor! But this person's kung fu is too high, even if ordinary people find his traces, they will be unknowingly hit by him, so I want you to leave for the Tomb of the First Emperor immediately to assist the police in the protection of the Tomb of the First Emperor!"

Poplar hurriedly agreed and stood up.

Ding Sicheng sighed again and said: "Now I am not sure what day the vault was stolen, maybe this person has already entered the tomb of the first emperor and taken a certain treasure in the tomb of the first emperor, what we are doing now is just to make up for the loss! I only hope that the super complicated mechanism in the tomb of the first emperor, that person can't crack it smoothly at one time!"

Bai Yang was really a little afraid of that person, so he had to speak: "I'm really far behind that person, why don't you make a phone call and ask Lao Hei to come over as soon as possible!

Ding Sicheng nodded and said, "While it's still dark, you go out to have dinner with Lingling, and then rush to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor, and let Lingling drive you there!"

Bai Yang hurriedly agreed, and respectfully withdrew with Ding Lingling.
