Chapter 21: Digging Graves
Pingyuan City is located in the north of Henan Province, which belongs to the north, and the days are short and the nights are long in winter.
By twelve o'clock, most of the city had fallen into a deep sleep, except for a few places of entertainment that had been going on all night.
In some remote corners, it is even completely dark, with only one or two lights lit up occasionally, indicating that there is a night owl or a group of night owls inside, still working something......
Boss Wang's scrap goods acquisition station is also relatively remote, even behind the acquisition station, is a small hillside, where mountains and rocks are piled up, once wanted to build a high-end community, just because of the problem of funds, has been suspended for a long time, the half-pulled real estate towering in the wind and rain, has been almost two years, and there is no one on weekdays.
Normally, at this time, the lights should have been turned off and the lights should have been turned off, but tonight, in the depths of the acquisition station, the lights were still bright, and seven or eight young men with short stature were working overnight under the command of an old man with a cigarette pouch......
Boss Liu sat expressionlessly on the big sofa moved to the yard, smoking the Yellow Crane Tower for dozens of yuan a pack one by one, no one knew what he was thinking in his heart, but no one dared to spare any effort, he was sweating like rain, only wearing a thin vest and leaking outside his shoulders and arms were foggy.
Wearing a thick dun dun cold clothing, he looks bloated and vulgar, as far as the master of the station, he looks too shabby, I don't know the roots, who would have thought that he is a big smuggler with hands and eyes!
Compared with his peers who have even made friends with the leaders of the country, he is certainly inferior by more than one point, but in terms of the cultural relics smuggling industry alone, his status in the rivers and lakes is quite not low, his business is not small, and his face is not wide.
When it comes to him Liu Hongsheng, no one in the industry can give a thumbs up, and he is jealous and envious in his heart.
From the age of more than ten years to start the rivers and lakes, to do the most inconspicuous, dirty and tired tomb robbery, to now he is nearly forty years old, with two dozens of professional tomb robbery teams in his hands, and with more than one large museum across the country has a certain business relationship and business contacts, the business scope includes robbery / tomb, smuggling / smuggling, entities, auctions, friends all over the north and south of the river worth hundreds of millions of he, in the entire antique trading circle, is an out-and-out predator.
The tree is very windy, the rafters that come out are rotten first, this time I don't know which joint is leaking, or let his peers stab themselves, in short, he has received reliable news: there are Hong Kong cultural relics police, has joined forces with the mainland police, together with him.
However, as an old Jianghu, he has already planned for these possible unexpected situations, and he has already arranged a way out.
In this city, he has already secretly spread the Internet, climbed more than one high-ranking official, and even has eyeliner in the police station, he can almost be said to know the relevant situation well, and if he wants to leave, he can get away at any time.
Don't look at the TV now, the police solve the case is superb, the monitoring network seems to be everywhere, in fact, the real efficiency of solving the case is still very low, if you don't really pay attention to it, some simple cases may actually have to be delayed for a long time, because of the darkness, dead ends and many other factors, in terms of the police force, it is difficult to do everything.
How many things will happen in a day in a huge city, and how many monitoring blind spots will there be?
For the Liu family, who has professionals under him and has begun to take on the nature of high-tech crimes, the smooth escape from the network is only the most basic requirement.
But fleeing, Boss Liu is not reconciled!
This time, this big list, being able to have Boss Liu personally in charge, has already explained its importance, as well as the huge benefits that may be implied.
From receiving relevant intelligence information, to starting the investigation, starting construction, peripheral wiring, some aspects of investment, intelligence costs, labor costs or something, add up to millions of investment, if you take into account the window period of some industries, once you miss, the loss of direct and indirect interests can reach tens of millions, and a year of wasted time!
Although the family is big and the business is big, but Boss Liu can't bear such a loss, taking such a big risk, but because of a dangling shot, he fled, so what kind of food do you eat?
Since you want to get out of the way, you have to have the courage to take responsibility!
You know, this is a Tang Dynasty tomb that opened the mountain to build a tomb, and at least it has to be a prince and grandson, who is delicate and wealthy, and the funeral goods in it must be treasures before the Tang Dynasty.
Time passed minute by minute, cigarettes were smoked one after another, and seeing that Boss Liu's expression was becoming more and more impatient, he had even sat up from the sofa and walked around on the dirt floor, finally good news came!
"Boss! The tomb is open! ”
A gray-faced man came out of the thief hole bare-chested, and ran to report the good news, and it could be seen that there were still people coming out of the thief hole behind him one after another, and they all sat on the mud floor next to him, panting and panting, and his body was sweating and dirty.
"Pony, what's going on inside?"
Boss Liu's face flashed with joy, and he asked quietly.
"The thief hole went directly into the tomb, and I have already seen the coffin, but I don't know if it is the tomb owner's at the moment. There are also bones of the burial goods in it, which are spread in a thick layer in the burial chamber. Now the exhaust gas is being discharged outward, and the brother in charge of technical work has begun to pull the wires and install the blower. The brothers will hide for a while, and after a while, the exhaust gas will be almost exhausted, and you will soon be able to go down and get something! ”
The big man introduced the situation in the tomb with an excited expression, and at the same time put on thick warm clothes, and now the temperature has dropped to several degrees below zero, and the air is foggy and cold.
Boss Liu pricked up his eyes and categorically vetoed, "What are you waiting for, now the wind is tight, it's good to take a step earlier, let's not get some gas masks, high-temperature fire suits or something, let the brothers put them on, go down now, and clean it for me overnight!" ”
"But?" Dahan said with some embarrassment, "It's been busy for most of the day, and the brothers are a little overwhelmed, besides, such an ancient tomb, no one can say what is in it, and the brothers are a little out of shape for a while!" ”
"The old donkey is on the sleeve, and if you don't pull it, you will pee!" Boss Liu threw the cigarette butt on the ground and scolded viciously.
However, Boss Liu also knows that this robbery/tomb robbery is taboo, and it seems that it will not work without some blood.
He paced back and forth a few steps, and finally made up his mind, "You go and tell the brothers, as long as this ticket is done, I will add 10,000 yuan alone!" But I have to say in advance, three o'clock, before three o'clock, I will be neatly lived, I will transport all the things out overnight, when the time comes, if you give me a strain, this ten thousand yuan, but there will be no more! ”
When it is really a great reward, there must be a brave man, and as soon as the news was announced, everyone immediately became busy.
Wires, blowers, searchlights, wireless pinhole cameras, and all kinds of tools and supplies were sent to the tomb one by one in the hands of several men in firefighting suits.
A high-achieving student who graduated from a prestigious university spread out his laptop and carried out a preliminary assessment of the entire tomb through the video data transmitted by the camera......
The work was carried out intensely, everything was running in an orderly manner, and a steady stream of utensils were taken out of the tomb, from pottery urns and armor to copper coins and jade pendants.
That's it, it's just a fraction of the time, the main burial chamber hasn't been opened yet, and the guys are digging hard. The coffin of the tomb owner has not been discovered: it is the real good thing inside!
Boss Liu couldn't help but put on gloves and looked at the treasures he had harvested one by one.
This is an ancient Tang Dynasty sea beast grape mirror inlaid with gold and silver, with an inscription!
This 47 mm wide and 24 mm high Western Han jade cong is a ritual vessel.
There are more than 100 ancient cultural relics before the Tang Dynasty, but Boss Liu is very happy, and he said that if he mixes some genuine goods, fakes, and half-truths, he can open a few black market auctions, and when the time comes, the money is not a lot of money?
Hey, what is it?
Boss Liu held up a strange object with his hand, and he always felt that something was wrong!
I saw that this is really a beautiful thing, the bronze casting base, decorated with dragon and tiger, gluttonous lines, the bottom foot is inlaid with a whole circle of various colored gems, magnificent, magnificent, really magnificent!
That's it, it's just a base!
On the base, there is a crystal the size of a tennis ball, the shape is not very regular sphere, I can't tell what kind of material it is, crystal clear, faint patterns, colorful and beautiful, not to mention, it looks more strangely familiar, what is this?
"Don Xiao, come here!"
Xiao Tang, a high-achieving student who was meticulously sorting out the relevant video data, immediately grabbed his notebook and came to Boss Liu.
"Boss, what's the matter?"
"Where the hell did you get this thing?"
Xiao Tang took a look, quickly found its source, and compared it to the corresponding video, he had to explain to the boss at a glance, "Oh, it's this, boss, look, it is placed in this place in the tomb, it should be a ritual vessel, I guess it is the same as the crystal ball in the West, the ancients thought it could communicate yin and yang, so it was solemnly placed in this place, most likely, this is a heavy weapon!" ”
Boss Liu scratched the back of his head, why do I still think there's something wrong with it?
didn't wait for Boss Liu to come up with a reason, suddenly, a thing with white smoke rolled over from a distance, Boss Liu was suddenly shocked, and before he could react, his brain sank and fell to the ground, fainting.
None of the people present missed it, and they all fainted.
Mi Liancheng swiped out, snatched the "heavy weapon" in Boss Liu's hand, and then stopped without stopping, and ran away quickly.
His mental suppression was already full of all his strength that could be used without affecting the injury, but these people fainted for a minute or two at most, didn't leave, and waited to be discovered? If you want it, there will be no trace, okay?
Before leaving, Mi Liancheng took the disguised smoking thing and threw it into the garbage can on the side of the road, so there was a flaw in the puzzle of the cloth, and it was not really ether......
