If you dig up a corpse at the beginning, the system will be awakened directly.

The police feel that now that their accomplices have been arrested, they are somewhat vigilant. They have two choices at this time. One is to be cautious and give up the tomb robbing operation at this time, and the other is to rush through the night to excavate and take away the funerary objects dug out. Go for reselling.

After much thought, they felt that these tomb robbers would choose the second method. After all, they were Chu State tombs. If they were tombs from other eras, they might not have the idea of ​​gambling, but the burial objects in Chu State tombs were mostly gold, silver, and jade. Items like this are much easier to acquire than other cultural relics. If you miss this time, you don’t know when you will encounter such a large tomb again.

Based on these points, the police determined that they would dig overnight, and even if they did not go to the scene, it would not be a big loss to the police, it would only be a pain to the few police officers who stayed up all night.

"Actually, the probability that they will give up digging is very small."

On the way, Su Hao also chatted with Officer Xiao.

"Why do you say that?" Officer Xiao looked at Su Hao with confusion and asked.

"Who dares to rob tombs? Who is not bold? Ordinary people, let alone tomb robbers, don't dare to get close to tombs. After all, who is not afraid of ghosts and gods today? Although some people believe it and some don't believe it, but Once you get down to the tomb, the environment is easily reminiscent of those unclean things. Do you expect these people not to take risks? I think it is more realistic to expect that I won’t be able to dig anything out in the ground tomorrow.”

"I think it's impossible for you!" Officer Xiao also smiled after hearing Su Hao's words. It can be seen that he actually often watches Su Hao's live broadcasts. After all, Su Hao has now become the top star on various video platforms. Streaming, when you open the software, the advertisements that pop up are Su Hao's live broadcast room or various videos. It is difficult not to recognize him.

At around eight o'clock, they had already entered Xinwei Village and were walking on the road leading to the back mountain. The sky was covered with dark clouds and it looked like it was threatening to rain heavily. If they had not used the light of their mobile phones, they would have just stretched out their hands at this time. If you can't see your fingers, you can't see clearly the truth ahead.

Their target was the barren mountain located behind Sanwei Village. It was undeveloped and the surrounding area was undulating. Since it was in the south, even though it was already late autumn, the surrounding trees were still proudly green. However, I don’t know if it was because of the impending rain. So the wind kept whistling by, hitting everyone and making them shiver with cold.

Except for the footsteps of a few people, there is silence around. This place is completely deserted. Unless it is a time of worship, when villagers go up the mountain to worship their ancestors who were previously buried on the mountain, there is no trace of anyone except six people. Walking towards the mountain following the faint light, there were Su Hao, Officer Xiao, three police officers and the tomb robbers' accomplices they had arrested previously.

The accomplice was walking at the front. Because he was wearing thin clothes, he was shaking violently from the wind. Su Hao and Officer Xiao were walking at the end. If something really happened, they would be the first to do so. React.

This place is still some distance away from where the tomb was found. One of the three police officers used the same handcuffs with his accomplice to prevent the other party from escaping, while the other two were holding the flashlights of their mobile phones and shining them forward. , it looked so dazzling in the dark night sky, and the light spots could even be seen from a distance.

However, they concluded that the tomb robbers did not go to the tomb so quickly to steal the funerary objects, and they were not afraid of alerting the enemy. According to their colleagues, they usually choose to act after [-] o'clock in the morning. At this time, most people have already fallen asleep, and almost no one can detect them. It is safest for this group of people to go to the tomb during this time until they leave after four o'clock.

If they couldn't dig out the tomb during this period, they would bury it hastily and wait until the next day to continue digging. The last time they stole the tomb, it took them eight days, and they only found a fake dragon robe and some coins. Category, it is really a huge loss.

They quickly headed towards their destination, and no one knew exactly where they were crouching.

……

At [-]:[-] in the morning, on the barren hills of Xinwei Village, the light from a spotlight was shining on the path ahead. Under the light, a group of five people walked forward. This group of people were very old. The older one is probably in his early fifties, with the slightest wrinkles already appearing on his face, while the younger one is around twenty, looks extremely lean, and is definitely a good candidate for work.

They wrapped themselves tightly at this time, facing the cold wind blowing around them, without any shivers. It could be seen that they were well prepared, but because of the rain, the surrounding dirt roads looked different. It was difficult to walk, their trouser legs and shoes were already covered with mud, but they didn't care at all and kept walking forward.

The older leader was holding a small shovel in his hand at this time. This is the so-called Luoyang shovel. It is an extremely useful tool for digging holes for robbers. And because it is compact, it is extremely easy to carry. The people all held tools such as shovels in their hands, and each person carried a large basket on their back, which seemed to be used to hold the excavated funerary objects.

"We've eaten and drank, and it's time to work. Brothers, after finishing this work, we'll go our separate ways. I heard someone said that Haizi was caught selling dragon robes in the counterfeit market. , this guy is not a man of his word, and he will probably turn us in. We can only dig up this tomb in the dark and rainy night, and then we will have the capital to escape!"

The leader shouted loudly. They also knew that once they were targeted by the police, it would be difficult to escape, but because the first two tomb robberies did not dig out anything valuable, even if they wanted to run away, they did not have the capital. , had no choice but to turn their attention to the tomb discovered this time, hoping that the funerary objects found in the tomb this time would make them rich and prosperous, and would no longer set foot in this industry.

They also know that the time left for them will be very scarce. The big tomb here must be dug at night and the burial objects stolen overnight. Otherwise, they will never have such an opportunity again.

The leader glanced at the sky. The sky was dark and scary at this time, and it might rain at any time. He shouted to the people around him: "I'm afraid it's going to rain again. We must get to the location of the tomb as soon as possible." , dig the tomb open, and take away as much as you can when the time comes. Just take your own share this time. After this time, we will truly separate and don’t contact each other again!"

They had already driven the vehicle to the foot of the barren mountain, waiting to dig out the funerary objects and transfer them.

Under the order of the leader, the others showed great enthusiasm and accelerated their pace. Soon they had arrived at the predetermined place. Because they had marked the place, they immediately found the location of the tomb. Making a quick decision, the five people picked up the tools they brought and dug underground.

As for the work of measuring the exact location of the tomb, they had already done it before tonight, and were waiting to finally dig out a hole to steal.

As time went by, they also began to dig up the earth above the tomb. This is also a basic feature of Chu State tombs. There will be high mounds of earth built on top of the tombs, which are the so-called big tombs, similar to those in modern times. A small mound filled with soil over a tomb.

With this mark, you can basically find the exact location of the tomb at once. If one of their members hadn't discovered this thing when they went into the mountains to hunt, they wouldn't have known that there was actually a tomb from the Chu Kingdom located here. That person happened to know a lot about this too.

Tombs in the Chu State would be mounded according to the social status of the person buried. In other words, the higher the status, the higher the mound on the tomb. However, due to the passage of time, the mounds on the tomb at this time were no longer Covered with dead grass and trees, it actually looks more like a hill than a mausoleum.

If the tomb robbers had no experience in this area, they would not know that there was actually a tomb inside. The leader was named Mo Gongyang, and his ancestors were the gold-touching captains of the Qing Dynasty. Naturally, he knew more about tombs than ordinary people. Know more.

He just glanced at the seal of the large tomb in front of him and already judged the size of the tomb. The height of the seal of the large tomb in front of him was about one and a half meters, the altitude was about [-] meters, and it was about [-] meters from north to south. , two hundred and twenty meters long from left to right. According to the specifications passed down by our ancestors, this is a tomb of a prince and king.

Although they have never excavated tombs from the Warring States Period before, they have seen quite a few cases on the Internet. Most of the tombs from this period are buried with many cultural relics such as gold, silver, jewelry or jade. These things have been passed down for more than two thousand years. It still remains the same, but the funerary objects such as clothes and various wooden slips have probably been lost in history. Most of the small tombs they dug before contained weapons or bronze objects. Such funerary objects can hardly be sold for much money.

However, the higher the level of the tomb, the more difficult it will be to excavate, because the higher the level of the tomb, the deeper it is buried from the surface. It will be very difficult to go straight down to open the robbery hole. Fortunately, One person also brought a drilling machine and a backup power supply. With the help of this thing, it became much easier to dig a hole for robbery. However, there was no one in the barren mountains for miles. They only needed to dig out a hole that could accommodate one person. Then bring the hole drilling machine into the big pit for excavation work, and then use wooden boards to block the cavity above to achieve maximum noise reduction. In this way, it becomes extremely simple for them to open the hole.

However, it was quite laborious to dig out the solid soil, but because it had just rained heavily, it suddenly became extremely loose, and the excavation was much easier than the small tomb excavated before. After a while, They have already dug a robbery hole that can accommodate one person. Now they only need to use a drilling machine to open the passage to the tomb. They can enter it and steal all the funerary objects inside, and then fly away and never come back again. place.

Gradually, they had dug the passage to the tomb below, and the steps leading down to the tomb were exposed. Mo Gongyang shined a searchlight towards the ancient tomb, only to find that there were twenty levels of stairs below.

"There are actually twenty steps! This time it's really amazing!" Mo Gongyang shouted excitedly.

"What do the twenty steps mean?" The other tomb robbers who heard the voice all looked at Mo Gongyang in unison, waiting for his answer.

"Generally speaking, Chu tombs use stairs to determine the identity of the tomb owner. The tomb of the King of Chu has twenty steps, and the tomb in front of you is obviously a tomb of a prince!" Mo Gongyang happily explained to the surroundings. road.

At this time, this group of people had no idea that there were four people watching them under the mound behind them. They were afraid that the accomplice they had captured before would make a noise to attract the attention of these tomb robbers, so they stayed with him. The police had already taken him down the mountain and were waiting somewhere for Officer Xiao and his team to arrest him. At this time, Su Hao was staying with the police officers, carefully hiding through the bushes.

Because of the extremely dark sky and the fact that Ming Suhao and the others were in the dark, this group of tomb robbers had not noticed that anyone behind them was watching them carefully. Even the law enforcement recorders carried by the police officers had started recording. , when the time comes, these images will be sent to court as evidence to convict them of the crimes they committed.

"Aren't we going to take action yet?" Officer Xiao asked Su Hao in a very low voice. They spoke in a voice that only two people could hear. Naturally, they were not afraid of alerting the enemy.

"Don't worry, wait for them to enter and seal the entrance directly. Then we will try to catch turtles in the jar. If we arrest them now, the culpability of the other party is not enough to convict them of a felony. At most, it will be an attempted tomb robbery. It is necessary to film them entering the tomb chamber. , we can attack, and we can definitely give them a fixed-term prison sentence of about ten years." Su Hao definitely didn't have any good impression of these tomb robbers, so he came up with this plan.

"They seem to have left one person to look out for the wind!" A police officer next to him whispered at this time, pointing to the entrance of the tomb. They left the youngest accomplice outside to look out for the wind, while the others rushed downwards. Walking towards the tomb, when he saw this scene, Su Hao signaled Officer Xiao to come forward and bring him down, otherwise it would cause a lot of trouble for the subsequent arrest work.

Officer Xiao also understood what he knew, and walked quietly along the surrounding dirt road to get behind the tomb robber who was letting loose. The tomb robber was still watching the video on his mobile phone. Apparently he didn't know that he had entered Officer Xiao's attack range. Officer Xiao was seen flying very fast. Jumped out from the side and directly covered the guy's mouth. He didn't even have time to resist, and his mouth and nose were tightly covered. Several police officers followed immediately and subdued the man in front of him. .
