Chapter 39: Reason

After Xia Jun sent Du Hao and the others to Professor Tong's side, he had just returned from the camp, and the other people surrounded him to inquire about the news.

Gu Ming was also very curious about why Du Hao appeared here, so he pricked up his ears and listened to Xia Jun's explanation.

As she had guessed before, Du Hao was indeed here to apologize this time.

Du Hao's contractor of the company's construction team colluded with others to steal cultural relics, so he, as a senior executive of the Du Group, made a special trip to express his apologies for this incident.

Although the matter of the contractor is a personal act, after all, this is an accident in their construction team, and after this is spread, it will definitely involve their Du's reputation, if competitors take the opportunity to make trouble, it will definitely damage their company, so people have to be cautious.

Not only that, but he also has a more important task, which is to discuss matters related to the ancient tomb with Professor Tong, the person in charge here.

The place where the tomb was excavated happened to be the place where they were going to carry out the construction, and the rescue excavators could not continue the work here until they finished their work, which greatly affected the overall progress of the entire project.

With each day of delay, their losses will increase, and the company's top brass will hope that this matter will end sooner and they can reduce their losses a little.

Another thing that worries them the most is that they are afraid that the excavated tombs will be classified as cultural heritage and left to the archaeologists to study carefully, and then they will really have a headache.

If that were the case, the project they were building would have to be overhauled, and the cost would be immeasurable.

"So, that person just now came back with the contractor's wife to send cultural relics?" A boy who has a good relationship with Xia Jun asked.

Not only Gu Ming noticed the woman holding the thing, but everyone else also noticed. Everyone didn't care much about whether the Du Group would suffer losses, but they were very curious about what the woman brought.

"As far as I know, it seems that the contractor quietly hid some things before he was arrested, and his wife didn't know about it, and the things that were hidden were also discovered by her accident." Xia Jun nodded.

"Did you see what it was?" Someone then asked.

"I didn't see it." Xia Jun pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose.

The unsatisfied curiosity was a little disappointed, but soon asked other questions.

"I heard before that the foreman was going to be sentenced for stealing cultural relics, so it seems that the wife of the foreman was scared, and I heard that we began to redeem cultural relics without regard for responsibility, so I came here with things." Fu Wen analyzed.

After hearing this, many people nodded again and again, and they all felt that what Fu Wen said made sense.

Gu Ming didn't answer, and subconsciously glanced in the direction of the camp.

She felt that the foreman's wife could hand over the hidden cultural relics, and Du Hao must have played a great role in this, otherwise how could the foreman's wife come here with Du Hao so coincidentally.

Yu Xiao had sent someone to search the foreman's house before, and specially told the foreman's family that if the cultural relics were found and sent back in time, the foreman's crime might be mitigated a little. It's a pity that after waiting for a few days, the family of the contractor did not move at all.

Sometimes, it is possible for some people to refuse to tell the truth for the sake of certain interests. said that it was the wife of the contractor who didn't know that there were hidden cultural relics before, but what the truth was, how could they know it, and it wasn't what the other party said.

"The professors are appraising those things, so let's leave that alone, since we have the first one to come to the door, maybe someone will come later." Xia Jun interrupted those who were still discussing.

The others listened and thought it made sense, so they ended the topic and returned to their seats to continue waiting.

"Is that woman really not going to be held accountable?" Guan Tong lowered his voice and asked Gu Ming.

"I guess most not, after all, a notice was sent before, if the responsibility is held accountable at this time, who else will dare to send things back." Gu Ming propped up her jaw and looked at Guan Tong lazily.

"That woman is still a little smart, maybe not only will she not be held responsible, but she will also get a sum of money to redeem the cultural relics." Guan Tong sighed.

"I don't know if I can get the money to redeem the cultural relics, after all, her situation is different from others." Gu Ming shook her head.

She unconsciously stroked the bracelet she was wearing on her left hand, and felt that Guan Tong was probably wrong, the smart person was not the wife of the contractor, but Du Hao.

The professor's side did not wait too long, and it didn't take long to determine that the contractor's wife had indeed brought the stolen cultural relics from the ancient tomb, and not only did not hold them accountable, but also gave a sum of money to redeem the cultural relics.

Probably inspired by this incident, not long after the contractor's wife went back, people who had been in a wait-and-see state came to the temporary appraisal point one after another with things.

Some of these people are members of the construction team, and some of them are unrecognizable.

Anyway, it had been stated before that no matter who sent back the cultural relics, they would not be held responsible, and Gu Ming and the others didn't bother to explore the identities of those people, so they honestly started the identification.

I don't know if it's because Gu Ming seems to be easier to talk, or because she looks easier to deceive, there are many people with things who run to the table where she is, and Xia Jun's side has the least, and it is very likely that he was frightened by his aura full of scholarly flavor.

It's just that Gu Ming feels sorry that there are few people who bring real things to identify, but there are many people who come with fakes, she has been busy for most of the day, and almost all of them are fakes, only occasionally there are one or two genuine items, but it is not the stolen cultural relics in the ancient tomb.

Now, Gu Ming ushered in a middle-aged man dressed very plainly, and the man carefully put something that was held by a cloth on the table.

"Miss, help me see my incense burner, I got it from someone else, what a baby! I heard that these things are cultural relics of the state and should be handed over to the state for safekeeping, my son is a soldier, and he has to respond to the call of the country no matter how he says. The middle-aged man unwrapped the cloth on the outside, revealing the contents inside, and smiled innocently at Gu Ming.

Gu Ming raised his eyes and saw a jade incense burner about 14 centimeters high and 13 centimeters wide presented in front of his eyes.
