Chapter 97 Zhao Dehai from the Cultural Relics Management Bureau is here to clear his suspicion!
The two workers were terrified.
He said, "Comrade, we didn't do anything! We just dug it up accidentally."
"Are you going to sell whatever you find? I heard from the person who reported you that what you took was a large artifact."
"You two were setting up a stall on the street, and many people saw you. As for the stolen goods, they're right here!"
He pointed at the object and said, "The evidence is irrefutable. Don't talk nonsense here. Give me specific information."
The two workers are not good at speaking.
But he also knew that speaking at this time would only cause trouble, so he simply looked at Gu Shengsheng and waited for her to speak.
Gu Shengsheng calmed down and said to the guy standing in front of her who was a head taller than her:
"This matter is really not as one-sided as you see it, comrade."
"They were selling copper coins yesterday. According to the Cultural Relics Law, copper coins, gold, silver and jewelry are all allowed to be sold. I was the only one who bought something, and the owner of the stall next to me can testify to that."
"Secondly, I didn't come here to trade artifacts privately. They dug this thing up and asked me about it. I discovered that this seemed to be an ancient tomb, so I decided to come and take a look."
The inspector laughed out loud. "Ms. Gu, we've heard of your exploits in finding lost cultural relics. You've always been eloquent, but don't you realize that what you said is a bit too clever?"
"Now the deal is considered a failed one, you can say that. Do you really want me to come in after your deal is successful before you admit it?"
When he said this, he was obviously furious, with veins bulging on his forehead.
It has to be said that Gu Shengsheng was shocked.
"I'm not denying it, it's the truth. I'm not just making it up, I have witnesses!"
One of the guys in the inspection team laughed. "Ms. Gu, that's really interesting. There are witnesses at every stage. It makes perfect sense! Who else would be as careful as you are in everything they do? Unless it was all planned."
"..." Gu Shengsheng looked at them speechlessly: "I'm just good at paying attention to what's happening around me."
"You only listen to what the whistleblower says. Why don't you want to listen to a victim like me?"
Who doesn't know how to be sarcastic? Gu Shengsheng rolled her eyes at her little brother.
Then the leader looked at him and said, "Know how to respect! Listen to what Miss Gu has to say."
"It's not that I'm keeping this secret. I'm also in this line of work, and you all know about it. So it's not surprising that I know someone in this line of work, right?"
"Mr. Zhao Dehai and I discussed this last night. He said he brought university professors over this morning to take a look, including professors of archaeology and geology."
"If you don't believe me, we can just wait here for him to come."
Gu Shengsheng was also very considerate and posted her chat history for him to see.
The head of the inspection team glanced at her.
Then he said, "I also know Mr. Zhao Dehai."
"I studied archaeology at National Tsing Hua University, and he was my professor at that time."
"Miss Gu, if you lie, you can be exposed at any time. You didn't commit a serious crime, but the nature of lying is different."
"And why are those two workers behind you staring at you? Did you make some agreement beforehand?"
Gu Shengsheng: "...No, how could ordinary people not be scared when they see you? I get scared when I see you too! Isn't this a normal reaction?"
"I'm afraid that you will say it's abnormal, but I'm not afraid that you will say it's abnormal. What do you want from me?" Gu Shengsheng said helplessly.
Seeing the bad looks from those groups, she immediately shut up. He who knows the current situation is a wise man.
There is no need to say more now.
"Mr. Zhao Dehai is the head of the Cultural Relics Administration, and we rarely meet. Miss Gu, how could you contact him so casually?"
"If you're lying, come clean now. There's still time to confess."
“…” Gu Shengsheng looked at them.
She was now certain that these people did not know Zhao Dehai.
Just now when she took out Zhao Dehai's WeChat, the team leader's eyes were unfamiliar for a moment.
I think it is also a means of handling cases. They deliberately say they know each other so as to change the other party's mentality.
But Gu Shengsheng was so upset that she wanted to cry, because she really knew him.
"I didn't lie," she said.
"But you don't know Zhao Dehai, right? Don't say later that I hired someone to disguise me." Gu Shengsheng found the photos of him in his circle of friends on her mobile phone, and then the inspection team also took out the photos from Baidu.
Gu Shengsheng said, "Remember my appearance. Also, check my chat history, WeChat, and so on. We haven't contacted each other today, and I haven't said anything. There's no collusion in my testimony."
She had to explain clearly.
Now everyone is waiting for Zhao Dehai to come.
"How long will it take?" asked the team leader.
Gu Shengsheng said, "There are about ten minutes left. We agreed to start work at 8:30."
"Okay." It's only ten minutes. The team leader doesn't believe that such a big shot will come.
Even if they really discover the theft of ancient tombs and the private sale of stolen cultural relics, their inspection team will usually contact a department of the Cultural Relics Management Bureau.
Where can I meet such people?
This Miss Gu is way too exaggerated in her words.
He had looked like a well-behaved person, but he had never expected such a temper. He had seen many people who procrastinated.
It's okay to wait ten minutes.
...Ten minutes later.
Zhao Dehai showed up on time and walked in from outside carrying a briefcase.
I was originally smiling and saying, "Shengsheng, this place has a deep connection with you!"
“…” Gu Shengsheng was dejected and didn’t say anything. It was fate that he would be caught.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Dehai was also stunned: "What are you doing?"
The members of the inspection team were not familiar with Zhao Dehai, but they were very familiar with his assistant.
The assistant quickly came over and asked, "Is there some misunderstanding?"
Zhao Dehai stood in front of Gu Shengsheng.
His face was grim as he asked, "What happened?"
The inspection team leader quickly reported, "It's like this. Someone reported today that someone was illegally selling and trading cultural relics here. There are also photos of the transaction from last night. That's why we came here."
"I just happened to run into Miss Gu and these two construction workers preparing to exchange cultural relics."
When he said this, Zhao Dehai asked, "Is it clear now?"
"Understood." Several people from their inspection team walked to the back and made way.
Zhao Dehai's assistant patiently explained, "This is what happened. Miss Gu told Mr. Zhao Dehai about the copper coin transaction last night. They're old acquaintances, so there wasn't enough time to file a record."
"So Mr. Zhao said he would come and take a look in person."
