233: Re-entering the tomb

Su Yue had not yet contacted Liang Yuzhu when Liang Yuzhu called him proactively.

As soon as the call connected, the other party said somewhat excitedly, "Su Yue, we've probably figured out which mountain the tomb robbers dug in."

Su Yue was happy to hear this, "Is that so? It just so happens that I also found the Yu Banzhi here."

Liang Yuzhu was even happier upon hearing this and couldn't help but exclaim, "Su Yue, your efficiency is too high!"

They had also borrowed personnel from neighboring cities and visited all 17 villages that reported the case, and finally, with the help of experts' research on the artifacts, they determined which mountain peak had recent signs of theft.

Unexpectedly, while Police were busy, Su Yue quickly found the shop that received the artifacts.

Su Yue knew that some things couldn't be clearly explained over the phone, and it was also a good time for him to go back to the Intelligence Department to see the latest information that had refreshed.

Therefore, he said, "Things can't be explained clearly over the phone, let's meet at my rental house."

Liang Yuzhu knew from Su Yue's words that he was going to provide her with new intelligence, so she naturally had no objections.

She nodded, "Okay, I'll see you in a bit."

"See you in a bit."

When Su Yue returned to his rental house on the electric bike modified by the System, Liang Yuzhu had not yet arrived, so he went to the basement first.

Indeed, when he pulled open the drawer, there was already a file bag inside.

By the time he came out of the basement, Liang Yuzhu had also just arrived.

Seeing the brown paper file bag in his hand, her eyes instantly lit up.

"Is this the new intelligence?"

Su Yue nodded, asked her to sit on the sofa, and then unhurriedly opened the file bag.

Liang Yuzhu's eyes were fixed on the file bag in his hand, eager to know the details of the case.

Those tomb robbers definitely wouldn't give up stealing, and Police didn't have much time left; they had to figure out where those tomb robbers were stealing from as soon as possible.

Although they had already found the specific mountain, a mountain is dozens of square kilometers, and searching it inch by inch with manpower alone was unrealistic; it was possible that while they were searching the mountain, the tomb robbers would have already finished stealing and left.

Therefore, knowing the location of the ancient tomb could save a lot of police resources and also prevent the ancient tomb from being damaged by tomb robbers.

Su Yue took out a photo from the file bag, and the photo clearly showed a burial chamber.

In the center of the burial chamber was an open coffin, which was empty, and the surrounding burial objects were pitifully few.

Seeing this photo, Liang Yuzhu's originally excited mood cooled down considerably.

She looked at the empty burial chamber in the photo, feeling a bit desperate.

"Does this mean the tomb robbers have already emptied the burial chamber?"

The first time Su Yue saw this photo, he also thought the tomb robbers might have already emptied the burial chamber, but he quickly shook his head again.

"Not likely, if they really entered, there wouldn wouldn't be anything left."

With Su Yue's reminder, Liang Yuzhu also realized something was wrong.

That's right, if tomb robbers had really entered the burial chamber, given their greed, it would be absolutely impossible for any burial objects to remain; perhaps this photo meant they hadn't had time to enter the burial chamber yet!

Thinking of this possibility, Liang Yuzhu couldn't sit still.

"Su Yue, can I take this photo? I want to let the experts study it further."

Originally, she thought she could directly find out where the ancient tomb was buried from Su Yue, but instead, she only got a photo of a burial chamber.

She was initially disappointed, but gradually, she no longer felt as lost as before; instead, she wanted to quickly lead people to search the mountain and see if they could catch the tomb robbers before they damaged the ancient tomb.

Su Yue nodded indifferently, "Yes, take it. If there's any movement regarding the Yu Banzhi, I'll also notify you immediately."

Liang Yuzhu smiled, "Okay."

She was very grateful to Su Yue for providing so much help with the case; if it weren't for him, they would still be unable to do anything about this group of hateful tomb robbers.

After leaving Su Yue, Liang Yuzhu went to the research institute again.

She handed the photo she got from Su Yue to the experts and asked, "Do you know what this photo is about?"

As soon as the experts saw Liang Yuzhu's photo, their originally cloudy eyes suddenly became bright, and they eagerly wanted to take the photo to study.

"Girl, where did you get this photo? It's too well taken."

"This is a famous false tomb; the main burial chamber might not have been stolen yet!"

"Don't look at the few burial objects here in the false tomb, but if you look closely, these are all good things."

The experts passed the photo around, praising it one by one, and then looked at Liang Yuzhu with curious eyes.

"Girl, which burial chamber's false tomb is this? Has the main burial chamber been researched? If not, count me in!"

Other experts also echoed, "Count me in!" "I want to go too!"

Seeing the experts so excited, Liang Yuzhu had a faint expectation in her heart; she tentatively asked, "Do you mean that this burial chamber is actually fake?"

The experts looked at her with confusion, somewhat surprised, "You didn't know this burial chamber was a false tomb?"

Liang Yuzhu didn't have much research in archaeology, so she frankly admitted that she didn't understand this area of knowledge.

"I don't understand, please give me more guidance."

Some experts couldn't help but be curious, "Then where did your photo come from? The main burial chamber shouldn't have been damaged by tomb robbers, right?"

This was exactly what Liang Yuzhu was worried about, and she honestly said, "I was just about to ask you what this photo represents. You said this is a false tomb, does that mean the tomb robbers haven't gotten into the main burial chamber yet?"

The experts shook their heads, "Based on just one photo, we can't tell if this burial chamber has been damaged or not, but ancient tombs with false tombs are not that easy to steal from, maybe the main burial chamber hasn't been damaged yet."

Liang Yuzhu suddenly thought of the contract that looked like a primary school student's drawing, and felt a little happy, "Unless they are professionals, do ordinary people know the difference of false tombs?"

The experts frowned, "That's hard to say, if they are lucky enough to really stumble into the main burial chamber, that's something no one can predict. However, it is also true that not all tomb robbers recognize false tombs."

Liang Yuzhu nodded heavily, "Thank you for explaining, I understand."

According to the information Su Yue provided last time, this group of tomb robbers is not highly educated, perhaps they haven't discovered the main burial chamber yet, and they still have time.

The experts were still very curious about the photo Liang Yuzhu brought, and kept asking her questions related to this false tomb.

Liang Yuzhu also really wanted to tell them the specifics, but Police hadn't figured out where the ancient tomb was yet, nor did they know how much damage the group of tomb robbers had done to the ancient tomb, so she was truly powerless.

However, she finally promised, "Professors, please rest assured, I will notify you as soon as I find the ancient tomb, and please continue to research the artifacts to help us find the ancient tomb as soon as possible."

Even if Liang Yuzhu didn't say anything, the experts would continue to research where the artifacts were unearthed. Seeing the experts continue to be busy, Liang Yuzhu didn't disturb them anymore and drove back to Police Station.

As soon as she arrived at Police Station, Liang Yuzhu went to the Director's office and reported the investigation results and the results obtained from the experts to him.

Hearing that they had figured out which mountain the tomb robbers were digging in, the Director immediately slapped the table and said excitedly, "Good! Then let's arrange people to search the mountain as soon as possible! We must catch that group of tomb robbers before they damage the ancient tomb!"

Although Liang Yuzhu was also very happy, she also knew that searching a mountain was not an easy task.

"Director, that mountain is over 20 square kilometers, and searching it is quite difficult."

The expression on the Director's face froze, and he also looked somewhat troubled.

"This mountain is actually this big."

During this time, he had already borrowed personnel from neighboring cities, but completing a search of a mountain in the shortest possible time was not an easy task either.

Just then, Director Liu came to see the Director, and upon hearing about their new progress, he was immediately happy and patted his chest in assurance.

"Don't worry! We are professionals in finding artifacts, and now that we have determined which mountain peak it is, I guarantee we can find the ancient tomb as soon as possible."

Hearing Director Liu say this so confidently, Liang Yuzhu and the Director were completely relieved.

Meanwhile, the tomb robbers took advantage of the dark and windy night to sneak up the mountain again to continue excavating the ancient tomb.

Because of the Heavenly Fire Glazed Roof, they didn't dare to dig around randomly. Fortunately, Big Beard had done this before and quietly dug a side tunnel next door, wanting to enter the main burial chamber to steal more burial objects.

These people were uneducated hooligans, and they kept chattering while working.

"We're doing a big one tonight, we won't have to worry about food and drinks for the next year!"

"Hey, look at your small ambition. If we can really get into the main burial chamber, there's more gold and silver treasures in there than you can ever use!"

"That's right, that's right, then not to mention eating well and drinking well, we brothers will be able to bring honor to our ancestors within a ten-mile radius, who will have more money than us in the future?"

Big Beard listened to his subordinates happily fantasizing about the future, and he was also very much looking forward to it.

Just as they said, as long as they did another big job tonight, they would really hit the jackpot.

Thinking of the stacks of money, Big Beard smiled and cursed the group of subordinates who were getting more and more exaggerated, "Since you want money, why don't you hurry up and put in more effort!"

"Yes!" A group of subordinates excitedly echoed.

With their efforts, as if they had been injected with chicken blood, the side tunnel they dug soon opened.

Everyone's heart was filled with joy, even Big Beard couldn't control his fierce expression.

He said, "Don't be in a hurry! Go in one by one in line, take whatever you see, don't snatch, we'll divide it equally after we get out."

Although he said that, he was the first to scramble into the hole, and the subordinates behind him also pushed and shoved to get in first.

The dug tunnel was not big, and they had to crawl to get inside. When Big Beard crawled out of the hole and saw the huge burial chamber, his eyes immediately sparkled.

This time, they had really hit the jackpot.

He thought excitedly in his heart, and rushed to the coffin placed in the center without delay.

He hadn't noticed from a distance just now, but when he got closer, he realized that the coffin he thought was closed seemed to be open.

His pupils instantly constricted.

It was also at this time that the subordinates behind him squeezed in, each one more excited than him, surging forward.

By the time Big Beard realized something was wrong, the subordinate rushing in front of him had already screamed in surprise.

"This... how is this empty!"

The echo in the burial chamber was strong, and his screams just echoed in everyone's ears.

Although they were not educated, they also knew that the ancients most tabooed coffins and would absolutely not do such a thing as stealing from a tomb.

However, this coffin was wide open now, and there was nothing inside.

A timid one couldn't help but guess with a trembling voice, "W-won't it reanimate?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone who hadn't felt anything suddenly felt a chill down their spines, and a huge fear surged in their hearts.

Big Beard was also startled by this guess and broke out in a cold sweat, but with wealth and glory right in front of him, how could he give up easily?

He angrily scolded the subordinate who was talking nonsense, "What nonsense are you talking about! There are so few things in this burial chamber, maybe someone just stole it once before, how could such a supernatural event happen?"

"Do you still want to get rich? Hurry up and take everything around here!"

Speaking of money, the subordinates who were originally scared out of their wits also felt a hint of courage rise in their hearts.

"The Director is right, there's no such thing as ghosts, being poor is what really makes you a poor ghost, hurry up and work."

"If there were really ghosts, how could we still be standing here? We're just scaring ourselves."

The subordinate who had just talked about reanimation saw his brothers around him go to move the burial objects in the burial chamber, and he also plucked up the courage to try and move them, but he wasn't careful and stepped on a stone on the ground, falling to the ground with a 'thud'.

He was already scared out of his wits, and now he went through this, screaming and struggling to crawl towards the exit, "Ahhh! There really are ghosts!!!"

Staying in the burial chamber already made it easy for people to think wildly, and with someone repeatedly saying there were ghosts, those who originally didn't believe it also started to believe there were ghosts here, and they scrambled to escape the exit.

Even after they escaped down the mountain, their excited feelings still hadn't calmed down for a long time.

Some subordinates cried to Big Beard with red eyes, "D-Director... it was too... too terrifying..."

Big Beard nodded in agreement, his heart still pounding wildly.

He originally didn't believe in ghosts, but all his subordinates had fled, and he was left alone in the cold burial chamber, his heart becoming more and more panicked.

It was at this moment that the originally silent burial chamber suddenly made a sound, and he was instantly scared white, crawling away from the exit as if fleeing, and truly believing that this ancient tomb had ghosts.

"Then Director, what should we do?"

Big Beard looked at his subordinates, who were all scared pale but still clutching the burial objects in their hands, and the panic in his heart dissipated a little.

Fortunately, although they were so scared their legs were weak, they still managed to loot all the burial objects in the burial chamber, which was the only thing he was thankful for.

He took a deep breath, "I'll contact someone to sell them tomorrow, these things can't be kept for long."

The subordinates were greatly frightened by the ancient tomb, and they were naturally happy to quickly transfer these hot potatoes, the antiques, for money as soon as possible.

They all forced a smile and praised Big Beard.

After the group discussed everything, they stumbled and supported each other as they went home.
