"How can you be sure it's from Northern Qi?"

When Zhang Yang asked, he quietly gave Mao Seventeen a look.

The police are watching you from behind, and maybe everything you say next will become evidence in court.

Mao Qiqi hesitated a little and gave a very standardized answer:

"This is my auction, and it is written in the auction that it is Northern Qi."

After hearing this, the policeman on duty nodded and left.

But Zhang Yang's heart sank suddenly.

Oh no, this must be the stolen goods of the tomb robbers.

How can a person who is upside down go to an auction to buy something, just like how can a wholesaler go to the mall to buy high-priced goods?

Besides, the terracotta figurines of the Northern Qi Dynasty, if they participate in the auction, they must be overseas.

But Mao Seventeen has just been released, and he has basically been with Cheng Lao Er, and he must have never been abroad.

Zhang Yang pretended to take out a magnifying glass, and took the terracotta figurines in his hand to check them repeatedly.

"Production time: 557 years"

This year happened to be at the time of the change of dynasties and dynasties between the north and the south.

In the Southern Dynasty, the Liang and Chen dynasties alternated in this year; The Northern Zhou Dynasty was also founded in this year.

Zhang Yang really wanted to ask, why are you sure that it is something from Northern Qi?

But now is clearly not the right time and place.

He could only nod first and deal with the audience in the live broadcast room:

"There is nothing wrong with the east and west, a very typical period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, painted terracotta figurines."

"But things like yours can't be bought and sold in China."

"I know." Mao Qiqi nodded: "I plan to donate it to the museum." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Yang pretended to be a little surprised: "It just so happens that we have a museum through train here, are you interested in going backstage to chat?" ”

Of course, Mao XVII did not refuse his invitation.

With three antiques suspected of being stolen, the two went backstage to the event venue.

After making sure that there was no one around, Zhang Yang pulled a stool and sat down by himself.

He crossed his arms and looked at Mao Seventeen, without saying a word.

Wait for the other party to take the initiative to explain.

"Teacher, why are you looking at me like that?" Mao Qiqi touched his face: "Is there anything dirty on my face?" ”

"Nope." Zhang Yang shook his head: "But among the three cultural relics you brought for identification, there seems to be dirty things." ”

"Hey, hey, hey."

Mao Qiqi showed a smile of understanding.

He took out his phone and showed a picture in front of Zhang Yang's eyes.

The picture is somewhat gray, and it looks like it is in an underground tunnel.

"Graveyard?" Zhang Yang asked naturally.

It can't be an ancient sewer, right?

"Yes, this is an ancient tomb of Northern Qi."

"Look at this."

Mao Qiqi swiped his phone to switch to the next picture.

Above it is a blue square epitaph, half of which is still buried in the earth.

The exposed part reads "March 13, 8th year of Tenpo".

"Tianbao is the year of Northern Qi, right?"

"Yes, this is the era name of that psychopathic emperor Gao Yang."

Zhang Yang nodded, it turned out that "Northern Qi" judged it like this.

He said, how can you cut the year so accurately!

"Why don't you take the tombstone out and look at it?" Zhang Yang asked.

The covered part is most likely written about the identity of the owner of the tomb.

"That's not going to work." Mao Seventeen's head shook like a rattle: "We can't destroy the ancient tombs. ”

"Huh?" Zhang Yang was a little incomprehensible.

Do you believe what you say?

What the hell is going on, come quickly!

Fortunately, there are many photos in Mao Seventeen's mobile phone, and he quickly explained the whole thing clearly with the information in the pictures.

After receiving a report from a group friend, a fresh thief hole was found in an abandoned chicken farm.

Xiao Chu, the future deputy leader of the archaeological team, quickly arranged for two temporary workers to go to the site to investigate.

These photos were taken after they went down the thief's hole.

The burial chamber is typical of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties periods.

It's a pity that they came too late, and the contents of the tomb have long been looted, leaving only some terracotta figurines.

This includes the one that has been identified.

Looking at the terracotta figurines in his hand, Zhang Yang fell into deep thought.

Didn't you say that you can't destroy ancient tombs? But can you bring out the contents of the tomb?

What [cultural relics protection tomb robbery]!

"Where did you find this?" Zhang Yang asked.

If it's close, return it quickly.

"Huainan."

"The Huainan you are talking about, is it the Huai of the Huai River?" Zhang Yang asked in disbelief.

What do you mean by bringing the things in the ancient tombs thousands of kilometers away to Yangcheng?

Is it going to be this way?

Mao Qiqi nodded, as if agreeing with Zhang Yang's idea.

Perhaps he also knew that his behavior was a little strange, and took the initiative to explain:

"Boss Cheng and I are here to find other funeral items along with this terracotta figurine."

“…… Sales? ”

Zhang Yang felt that Mao Qiqi seemed to have said two words less.

Sure enough, his words were recognized by this colleague.

even asked Zhang Yang with a surprised face:

"You also know that there is a market for ancient relics here?"

"Well, you know, a passage to Southeast Asia (the one of the cultural relics tycoon and the Ming boss)."

"So do we." Mao Qiqi said with surprise and joy: "Then do you have any information here?" ”

"What, what?"

"It's these relics! We have been tracking it down from Huainan and found that it is very likely to leave the country through Yangcheng. ”

"But after the clue arrived in Yangcheng, it was broken." Mao Qiqi frowned.

"I didn't expect to see you holding an event here, so I planned to try my luck at the event......"

"I see."

Zhang Yang nodded in realization.

Is this the effect of labor reform? Quack awesome!

Mao 17 and Cheng Laoer, two tomb robbers with criminal records, have directly turned into cultural relics detectives!

Of course, among them, the guiding role of Zhang Yang and Xiao Chu is also indispensable.

Zhang Yang thought about it and asked Mao Seventeen if he had notified the cultural relics protection department in Huainan.

The answer was no.

The reason is: you can't startle the snake.

However, Chu Zhenmin has been notified, and the nature is similar to that of the record.

"You should not carry this thing with you for the time being."

Zhang Yang pointed to the box containing the terracotta figurines on the table, although this thing was just an ordinary cultural relic, it was stolen from the tomb after all.

It's good to be able to return the thing to its original owner, but if you miss an arm or a broken leg, it's also a troublesome thing.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Mao Seventeen's attitude is very good.

Zhang Yang nodded, and now he has to think about how to solve this matter.

Wait, is there something missing?

"By the way, where did you get your other two things?"

Zhang Yang remembered that there were also jade ornaments and bronzes.

Those two things are more than the funeral goods of Northern Qi.

"We bought them all from the previous channels after we came to Yangcheng."

"Cheng Lao Er said that these things are like real things."

"Awesome!" Zhang Yang praised.

It is worthy of the antiques of [Tomb Robbers' Strict Selection], both of which point to potential large-scale tomb robberies.

But now, this kind of cultural relics case with a less clear origin can be put aside for a while.

Leave it to Chu Zhenmin to deal with.

Zhang Yang motioned for Mao Qiqi to sit and rest, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed the phone number of the cultural play tycoon.

How to leave the country? Inquire first.

Thank you for the 100 coin reward from the Emperor of the Starry Sky!
