"Team Bai," Ren Xu and Li Han discussed for a while and said, "This piece is indeed a Chu bamboo slip. The font is correct. It is the same as the one we encountered in southern Hunan, but it is not from the same batch."

Hearing this, Bai Song breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that it wasn't just one batch. Bai Song didn't want the affairs in Xiangnan to be disturbed again. He was already tired.

"Wang Liang, your memory is really good." Bai Song put on gloves and looked at the Chu bamboo slips that had gone through two thousand years. "So this thing really shouldn't be distributed in Dashan Province, right?"

"Yeah," Ren Xu nodded, "and it looks like it has been unearthed for quite some time."

"There is a problem here. If they were tomb raiders in Dashan Province and dug up something to sell, then why would they bring it to this store? This is the first point. The second is that it is impossible for them to dig up the Chu bamboo slips." Wang Liang analyzed.

Everyone understood what Wang Liang said, and everyone fell into deep thought.

Bai Song felt that, based on the current situation, these people might be scammers, using real things to commit fraud.

Recalling his experience in Xiangnan, Bai Song still remembers the saying, "Experts cheat experts, and the experts cheat even better."

"Captain Bai, people are still asking questions. As of now, the punishment should still be based on teaching and learning foreign languages. Do you have any other suggestions?" asked Chu.

"It's not a matter of instruction. Ask these people in the transcript where these pottery shards and bamboo slips fragments came from. Don't ask too many questions." Bai Song said, "I think these people will say that these things were dug up at the construction site and will not admit the source. It doesn't matter. I don't intend to make a breakthrough from these few people. I mainly want to see what the people outside do after they are arrested. Just be careful not to lock them up in the same cell."

"Then they will definitely not be locked up together." Chu Suo said: "Okay, then we understand."

"Well, these things need to be identified and dealt with accordingly. Just pretend I was never here."

…

Bai Song's purpose was to alert the enemy. He was not very interested in these pottery and bamboo pieces. He cared more about other things.

In the past few days, I haven't heard that the team from Dashan Province has detained or summoned anyone here, so this shows that the operation from Dashan Province should have been unsuccessful.

Generally speaking, except for large-scale operations, such as Bai Song and his team driving a bus to Shanghai to pick up a group of people, statements will be taken on the spot in all other cases.

Apart from procedural reasons, once a suspect is caught, the sooner he is questioned the better. Otherwise, the suspect will have to think about it for more than ten hours on the road and will have prepared a lot of lies for the police.

So Dashan Province did not contact Tianhua City, which means they did not catch him.

If they haven't caught him, they should have sought reinforcements from people in Tianhua City, especially technical means of reinforcement, but there has been no contact so far, which makes Bai Song particularly curious.

…

This action by the Sanlin Road Police Station came without any warning and indeed disrupted the plans of the people at the construction site.

Among the people hired by the developer, three were arrested for learning foreign languages. Li Kun went to talk to the developer and mentioned that these people had been not doing their jobs properly recently. The remaining person was also fined 500 yuan.

However, after being fined, the remaining people felt relieved and did not leave but continued to work here. Bai Song asked Li Kun to pay more attention.

On Saturday, Wang Liang and Li Han went to a specialized cultural relics appraisal agency to conduct a preliminary appraisal of the fragments.

What no one expected was that there was actually a piece of "Yunnan pottery" in it.

Going back in history to the Warring States Period, the seven major powers were Qin, Qi, Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei and Chu. Chu was located in the southernmost part, and these were considered to be within the scope of the Zhou Dynasty.

To the south of the Chu State, there was an "ancient Dian Kingdom" during that era. A bronze piggy bank, a national treasure, was unearthed there. However, this piggy bank was very scary and was rarely exhibited.

Bronze artifacts are naturally extremely precious, and there are still some pottery fragments, and there are many in each excavation. But even so, there are still very few ancient Dian pottery.

It was very difficult for people of that era to exchange what they had with each other, especially for the ancient Dian Kingdom. It was almost impossible for pottery to enter the Central Plains, and it was even more impossible to cross mountains and reach the vicinity of the mountainous provinces.

So, the answer is obvious, this is what people are doing now.

As of now, this case, of which nothing is known, has already involved five regions: Southern Xinjiang Province, Southern Hunan Province, Dashan Province, Gansu Province, and Tianhua City.

Why is Gansu Province involved?

These women from Gansu Province are not really just "teaching foreign languages". Logically speaking, it is problematic that these people from the mountainous provinces came here with cultural relics fragments. Is it possible that they don't pay for learning foreign languages, but give this? That's too extravagant.

The case was complicated, which made Bai Song very excited. He liked this kind of thing.

Especially until now, Bai Song still doesn't know what's going on...

"What I said is not a specific report. This thing is quite complicated. I have never done cultural relic appraisal. It is said that it will take some time to produce a specific report." Wang Liang explained to Bai Song.

"It's okay. We just need to listen to what we have said before." Bai Song said, "This may be a large-scale gang smuggling cultural relics."

"It's possible. But after checking with the police station, we found that these people are all farmers or workers. They just started to have some money recently, and they are spending more and more. People can't hide their wealth," Wang Liang said. "However, these people don't have any criminal records, and their anti-detection experience is almost zero. I feel that if you interrogate them in the detention center and interrogate them more, there will definitely be a breakthrough."

"Do you think they are the main characters or puppets?" Bai Song asked.

"It must be a puppet."

"Well, so asking them won't be very effective, and we might get wrong answers. I don't have any investigative direction at the moment, and once I have a wrong direction, I will be confused." Bai Song said: "I plan to be a bystander for a while in this case."

"Okay." Wang Liang was also interested in the case: "I'll watch it with you."

"How long were those people detained? Fifteen days?" Bai Song asked.

"Ten days, all first offenses."

"Ten days is fine. Fifteen days is too deliberate." Bai Song said, "Anyway, no one knows we are investigating now, so let's not question these people. Even if they are released, they will only think they were caught by the police in a crackdown on pornography. I'm not sure we can solve the case within ten days, so let's not make a fuss."

"I won't use my brain anymore." Wang Liang felt a headache after hearing this: "I'll listen to you."
