Li Mingqing looked through the information and said.
"What did they say to you?"
"They said I was blocking their path to wealth. The police were catching tomb robbers everywhere, so they had no choice but to hide. They came looking for me to arrest me and take my property."
Ding Yi joked: "They have good vision."
"Brother Ding, stop joking. The police and the port city have jointly shut down the ports where cultural relics are exported. Tomb robbers everywhere must be very anxious recently."
"Ming Qing, you have to be more careful."
"I can protect myself completely. Anyone who comes here is seeking death. Send them all to the Public Security Bureau." Li Mingqing was fearless and even a little excited.
"Let's go and see how these people are being interrogated."
Ding Yi brought Li Mingqing to the interrogation room.
The leading man looked left and right but didn't get to the point.
"What's your name?"
"You arrested me without even knowing my name? I haven't done anything illegal or criminal. Just let me go."
The police officer said sternly: "Be honest. I'll ask you again, what's your name?"
"Li Si."
"What is your relationship with Chen Long?"
"Chen Long?" The man was puzzled for a second. "You mean Brother Long? It's nothing."
"According to the clues we have, you and Chen Long are tomb robbers, and you had two transactions three months ago."
Li Si stopped shaking his head and looked at the police officer:
"Don't throw dirty water on me."
"Chen Long confessed that you were our target, but we didn't expect you to show up on your own. Thank goodness Dean Li is so skilled, otherwise you would have gotten away."
"Impossible!" Li Si's head was buzzing.
If this is true, he is like a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth.
He turned out to be the person being pursued by the Public Security Bureau.
If he had known this, he would never have gone into the city.
The police officer knocked on the table and said, "Be honest and tell me what's going on. If you don't, your four brothers will."
"I am indeed a tomb robber, but I don't sell cultural relics."
"Not reselling? Then what about the cultural relics you took out of the tomb?" the police officer asked.
"I only went into the tomb and never took any cultural relics."
He refused to admit it even if he was beaten to death.
"Li Si! I just said that even if you don't tell the truth, your four brothers will. Confess as soon as possible and try to get leniency."
Li Si narrowed his eyes and said, "I have never taken any cultural relics, let alone resold them."
"You really won't cry until you see the coffin. Once our comrades search your house, we'll know everything."
The interrogation room separated by a wall.
Ding Yi smiled and said, "Here come those who refuse to admit it again. Are they questioning the strength of the public security department's investigation?"
"It's better to delay it for a while. When will we go to his house to investigate?"
"Early tomorrow morning."
Li Mingqing volunteered: "I'll sign up."
"The unit has contacted Mr. Zhao Yuanyang from the museum, and he will be here tomorrow," Ding Yi added. "If I had known you were free tomorrow, I wouldn't have contacted Mr. Zhao."
"That's great, let's discuss this."
"It's settled. Tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock. I'll have them pick you up at your house. Just wait there. But there's one thing you must remember: no matter what happens, your personal safety is paramount."
Ding Yi gave worried instructions.
He knew that Li Mingqing was skilled, but he was still worried about accidents.
"Don't worry. We've all experienced bomb searches in hospitals. I'm sure Li Si won't plant a bomb at home."
"You never know. Even if there's no bomb, there might be something else."
"I agree with you. After all, Li Si is a tomb robber, so it's not surprising that he knows some tricks. I haven't dabbled much in this area, but I have done some research, so I can protect myself without any problem."
Li Mingqing knew this very well.
——
Two police cars drove towards the suburbs.
Zhao Yuanyang said excitedly, "President Li, I didn't expect you to be here too."
"Not welcome?" he teased.
"No, no, no, it's my honor to work with you. Dean Li, thanks to your actions, so many cultural relics have been saved. I admire you very much. If it weren't for you, it would be difficult for cultural relics lost overseas to return."
"I am a part of China, and I believe every Chinese person would do the same."
Li Mingqing said calmly.
Zhao Yuanyang was deeply moved: "I will learn from you."
“Learn from each other.”
"I don't know how many cultural relics we'll find this time. Last time I went to Chen Long's house, I found a lot, all on wooden shelves. I was stunned at the time. Who would have thought that such a small mud house could hold so many treasures?"
Li Mingqing: "Were you there last time too?"
"Yes, Lao Liang and I went there."
An hour later, we arrived at our destination.
Li Mingqing got out of the car and looked at the poplar trees on both sides of the road and felt that they looked familiar.
It’s very similar to the road in my hometown.
"This wasn't the village we came to last time."
The policeman said, "The two villages are less than 800 meters apart. They are neighboring villages."
"There may be tomb robbers in the surrounding villages," Li Mingqing reasonably guessed, "but I'm not sure. Maybe some people are just afraid of it."
Zhao Yuanyang agreed with him, "I think what you said makes sense."
"Chen Long and Zhao Si are probably the more famous tomb-robbing gangs in this area. People who want to make a fortune by robbing tombs will actively seek them out. Many of the houses in the village are new, so everything is self-evident. But the law does not punish the masses, so we can ignore these people."
"Dean Li, why don't we care about it?" Zhao Yuanyang didn't understand.
"They're all honest villagers. Most of them jumped in when they heard there was money to be made. But police cars and officers kept coming to the village, and information was shared between villages. They were so united that we couldn't get anything out of them. Even if we did, they'd probably just be doing some digging work."
