Gao Mingcheng spent a few days on a trip to Yangcheng, and when he came back, he decided to rest for a few days, because then it was time for him to go back to Gaojia Village to prepare for planting trees.

But before returning to the village, Gao Mingcheng went to find Director Wang.

After a few dealings, Gao Mingcheng and Director Wang are already familiar with each other, so this time there is no need to carry things out, just go directly to his office to find someone.

"Director Wang is good." Gao Mingcheng pushed the door and went in, and saw Director Wang reading a newspaper, with a steaming cup of tea next to him.

In a place like the Cultural Relics Management Office, you are idle when you are free, and you are busy when you are busy.

For example, the ancient tomb case implicated in Wang Zhi's murder case last time was enough for them to be busy for a while.

It is necessary to go to the field to investigate, to transport all the valuable things back, to identify the age of the ancient tomb, to analyze the identity of the owner of the tomb, to protect the valuable cultural relics, and to report them in time after they are sorted out.

But now that more than half a month has passed, it's almost as busy as it should be.

Director Wang put down the newspaper and saw Gao Mingcheng walking in, so he said with a smile: "It's Mingcheng, why do you have time to come to me today?" Xiao Liu, pour a cup of tea! ”

The so-called Three Treasures Hall is not going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, Gao Mingcheng came to find Director Wang, naturally there is something wrong. He came for the ancient tomb in Peach Blossom Ridge.

He had two and a half pieces of jade in his hand, and the reason why he didn't take it to Yangcheng to show Fan Chengyao and evaluate it was because he wanted to find out the age of the tomb and the relevant information of the tomb owner in advance.

Again, he inadvertently found a clue and guessed that Fan Chengyao was smuggling antiques, but this was just his guess, Fan Chengyao didn't say it, and he didn't reveal that he already knew.

But if you directly take the antique jade to the door, wouldn't this be a self-confession!

Considering these two points, Gao Mingcheng didn't intend to let Fan Chengyao get his hands on his jade at all.

Soon, the hot tea was delivered, and Gao Mingcheng thanked him politely, and then took the tea.

He didn't rush to get to the point, but first chatted with Director Wang for a while, and only after drinking two sips of tea did he ask about the last ancient tomb.

Director Wang was stunned for a moment, then reacted, he stood up from his seat, walked to Gao Mingcheng's side with a smile, half joking, half serious and said: "Mingcheng, you are the lucky star of our Cultural Relics Management Institute!" You've found two tombs in the last two years! Make a significant contribution to recovering the country's losses! ”

The ancient tomb in Gaojia Village was discovered and reported by Gao Mingcheng, and the ancient tomb in Taohualing can be regarded as discovered and seized by Gao Mingcheng, otherwise maybe the murderer Wang Zhi ran away with the antiques, and in a few days, these national cultural relics will flow into the gambling house, and then it will be impossible to trace their traces.

And the tomb of the husband and wife of the Song Dynasty is more valuable for research than the ordinary single tomb, so after Gao Mingcheng arrested Wang Zhi, he simply gave two credits.

One is given to Gao Guobing, and the other is given to Director Wang.

Although there was no direct contact between the two of them, the benefits brought by the ancient tomb case were obtained by Director Wang.

Therefore, Director Wang's attitude towards Gao Mingcheng is quite kind.

Knowing that Gao Mingcheng came to ask for information about the ancient tomb, Director Wang did not hide it, but told all the information he had researched here.

From Director Wang's mouth, Gao Mingcheng learned that it was a tomb of the Southern Song Dynasty, which contained nine funeral items in different areas of life, such as tableware, wine utensils, tea utensils, incense utensils, study utensils, boudoir utensils, Buddhist utensils, ritual utensils, and daily miscellaneous utensils.

Director Wang sighed: "We are only a small place here, and most of the ancient tombs that have been excavated so far are such small and medium-sized tombs, and there are not many burial goods, only the ancient tombs in Chang'an and Luoyang, which are of great excavation value!" ”

"The funerary goods of the Song tomb are mostly porcelain, lamps and other daily necessities at that time. There are very few valuables such as gold and silver jewelry, so it is not surprising that they were not found in the tomb. But then I heard from Gao Ju that the tomb had been stolen once before, and Wang Zhi had accidentally discovered the ancient tomb that was almost collapsing before, and took a few valuable things from it, including four pieces of jade, a pair of silver bracelets and a pair of porcelain cups, but those things were all mortgaged to the gambling house by him as gambling money. ”

"Hey, after the incident, according to Wang Zhi's confession, the Gao Bureau sent someone to look for it, but until now, he has not found it. Those things, I'm afraid it's hard to get back! ”

Speaking of this regret, Director Wang chattered a little, and his face was full of regret.

Gao Mingcheng listened quietly, he thought that Wang Zhi only took the three pieces of jade, but he didn't expect to take other things, and went to participate in different gambling games.

Sure enough, betting on dogs has no future!

But if Wang Zhi takes these antiques away privately, and then sells them for money, it is enough to make a fortune. will not fall to the point of killing parents and killing the dealer to flee.

Gao Mingcheng stayed here for a while, and inquired about the situation of the ancient tomb clearly, and he had a rough estimate of the jade in his hand.

After leaving the Cultural Relics Management Office, Gao Mingcheng went to the police station.

As soon as he entered, someone he knew told him that Gao Guobing was not at the police station, but went to the city for a meeting.

When it comes to going to the city for a meeting, everyone is beaming, and obviously this is a great thing.

Gao Mingcheng didn't come to Gao Guobing to do something, so Gao Guobing was okay if he wasn't there, so he turned around and went to find Huang Dazhi.

Huang Dazhi looked a little haggard, not only him, but in fact, the rest of the police station also looked a little haggard.

Originally, just after the New Year, no matter how poor people were, they could eat a few meals of big fish and meat, which was the longest meat time of the year, but Huang Dazhi and they were all tired of running for their lives, because of Wang Zhi's murder case, they didn't have a good year at all.

With the help of Gao Mingcheng, they quickly arrested Wang Zhi, but after interrogation, they learned that Wang Zhi had lost some of the cultural relics before, so the people from the police station had to follow the information Wang Zhi said to look for it.

After looking for more than ten days, I got the news that someone had melted the pair of silver bracelets, which made everyone angry!

As for the porcelain cups, they were hidden at home and remained intact, but the four pieces of jade were nowhere to be found.

Later, they went to the place where Huang Dazhi picked up the jade before, and dug three feet into the ground directly, but they still didn't find it.

Later, he visited a nearby village to find out the news, but to no avail.

But in this process, Huang Dazhi's heart was very anxious, but he didn't dare to confide it.

Now that he saw that Gao Mingcheng, the only person in the know, was here, he immediately put down what he was busy with, and his eyes showed a little excitement.

Not everyone is able to keep secrets, and when people hide secrets, people with poor psychological quality will be under great pressure.

Or maybe they'll leak it inadvertently.

"Mingcheng, come here." Huang Dazhi gave Gao Mingcheng a look, and the two came to the courtyard one after the other. The view is so wide that you can see it at a glance if someone is close.

Huang Dazhi has been suppressed for a long time, and a strong desire to talk has arisen in his heart, and now he can finally wait to say all the things.

His voice was very small, but his words were very fast, but fortunately, Gao Mingcheng knew the cause and effect, so he could understand it.

Seeing Huang Dazhi's anxiety, Gao Mingcheng said: "If you want to turn it in, I have no problem here, but you have to find a good way to cover it up, and you can't let people know that you secretly took it before." ”

After such a long time, Huang Dazhi has been integrated into the police station and has won everyone's trust and love, but people's trust is difficult to establish, but it is easy to break.

Once there is a precedent, then if something similar happens later, everyone will suspect you.

This is obviously not good for the cause.

Huang Dazhi's face was full of surprise, and he said, "You agree with me to turn it in?" I heard that it was from the Song Dynasty, or jade, and it should be very valuable. ”

Huang Dazhi said before that after selling it, he would get half of the money for each person, so he didn't make the decision to hand it over, firstly, because he was worried about his reputation, and secondly, he felt embarrassed, so he kept Gao Mingcheng busy.

Gao Mingcheng just made a windfall, so I really want to say at this time - I'm not interested in money!

Ahem, but let's keep a low profile!

Gao Mingcheng picked up the information he got from Director Wang, and then said his own valuation, which was a clear telling of Huang Dazhi's price of the two pieces of jade.

Oh, as for the half of the jade pendant, it is generally worthless due to its mutilation.

But there are also people who will take it to make a fake, make a half-cut fake according to the complete jade pendant, and then glue it with a special glue, and then sell it as a fake one.

From ancient times to the present, there have always been counterfeits in antiques, for example, the people of the Song Dynasty faked the famous paintings of the Tang Dynasty, but if the fakes have been handed down to this day, then they are also a real antique.

"Dazhi, you picked up the things, and you can make your own decisions. The jade is still in my house, and I'll bring it to you later. Gao Mingcheng said.

Huang Dazhi was shocked, and hurriedly shook his head and refused: "Put it there for you first, it's inconvenient for me to live." ”

Gao Mingcheng said: "In a few days, I will go back to the village, and the mountain I contracted will be planned to dig a pit in advance so that I can plant trees." ”

At this moment, Huang Dazhi didn't know what to say.

He lowered his head, his feet turning unconsciously.

Eventually, he breathed a sigh of relief, as if he wanted to open it.

"Mingcheng, I didn't steal it, nor did I steal it, but I picked it up! I've watched "Shaolin Temple" before, and I think this is my fate. ”

"I didn't know who I was going to say these things to, I kept it in my heart, thinking about it all at once, thinking about it again. But now that I figured it out, I could be hypocritical, I could be greedy, but I really needed money. ”

Gao Mingcheng was not surprised by this result, and only said sincerely: "You are in charge of your things." If you don't sell things first, you can collect and keep them yourself, what do you think? ”

At this moment, Huang Dazhi was completely relieved, he could see his heart clearly, and since he had made a decision, he would not hesitate again in the future.

A person's life, in many cases, is to recognize oneself and the world.
