Chapter 801 Throwing out the Bait
"The autopsy results just came out. There are several toxins in that person's body. The situation is quite complicated, but one of the toxins seems to be scorpion venom..."
As the person in charge, Moss, finished speaking, Nie Yao's brows furrowed even tighter: "Sure enough, it's scorpion venom again!"
"Has Miss Nie ever seen a similar situation?" asked the person in charge, Moss, in surprise.
"Last time in China, someone tried to steal cultural relics. The police found him and he ended up dying in his apartment. He was also poisoned by scorpion venom!"
Nie Yao raised her eyes to the person in charge before her and said in a deep voice, word by word, "They all have the same goal: the artifact from the 18th Dynasty of Egypt, during the reign of Queen Hasu, that Li Jinxing donated to your authorities!"
"So this gang is probably a massive antiquities crime ring..." Moss, the person in charge, frowned and said solemnly, "No wonder the people from the Cairo police mentioned Sudan to me earlier and asked me for more information!"
"According to what the criminal said before he died, the criminal mastermind behind this might be hiding in Sudan. However, it might be difficult for us to suddenly take action and capture him from Sudan!"
Nie Yao shrugged helplessly and whispered to the person in charge, Moss, "So this is the purpose of my adoptive father's proposal to you just now. If we want to catch him, we have to throw out the bait!"
"Professor Fred did tell me just now..." The person in charge, Moss, nodded slightly and said thoughtfully, "It's not that this proposal is not possible, but we need to think carefully. After all, we can't take risks with cultural relics. If we can catch him, it will certainly be great, but if we can't catch him, it may very well lead to a wolf entering the house!"
"Perhaps we can start the excavation first, then hold a press conference in another location to announce the excavation. This way, we can lead out the criminal leader behind this while not affecting our archaeological excavation work!"
Nie Yao suggested this. The person in charge, Moss, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "That's a good idea!"
"But if we act separately, they might become suspicious!" Professor Fred warned in a low voice.
"Yes, at this time we need an important person to show up without arousing their suspicion..." The person in charge, Moss, was still thinking quietly.
Nie Yao thought for a moment and said to the person in charge, Moss, "Let me take charge. They already know me. As long as I'm here, they'll believe that Li Jinxing's artifact will be with me!"
Moss, the person in charge, was still a little hesitant. Professor Fred said in a deep voice, "Although Ivy has been appointed as the leader of one of the archaeological teams, she is still too young. If I let her make the announcement, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince everyone! Moss, I think I should let the announcement be made..."
"Dad?" Nie Yao turned her head to look at her adoptive father and said with some concern, "You are not in good health. How could you take such a risk?"
Professor Fred shook his head and smiled faintly, patting the back of her hand and saying, "Don't worry, since we have deployed in advance, we must be well prepared. I will be fine..."
The most important thing is that he can't let his daughter face unknown criminals alone, not to mention that these criminals are willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of cultural relics!
The person in charge, Moss, thought for a moment, then smiled faintly and said, "Professor Fred, you are old after all. This is not suitable for you to do. Leave it to me. I will go with your adopted daughter. I believe those criminals will not suspect anything!"
