Jiang Mingxin's face was solemn.
"The Palace Museum Research Institute is a very special place. Ordinary people cannot enter. The person who switched the items could only be an internal researcher. And the person who forged it is most likely the missing folk expert."
"Yes, after investigation, these five researchers are the most suspicious. And in recent years, the Palace Museum has lost several cultural relics every year."
"At first, they suspected they had been put in the wrong warehouse or that there was an error in the storage records. But some time ago, Director Lu of the Palace Museum Research Institute led a large-scale inventory and discovered that some cultural relics that had been stored for a long time but had not been restored were indeed missing. In addition, several confidential documents were also stolen."
Bailing took out a list and handed it to her.
After Jiang Mingxin looked at it carefully, he took several deep breaths.
"If stealing national treasures is about making money, then stealing confidential documents is..."
Only a spy who betrays his country could do that.
Bailing further explained: "Those confidential documents involve the Palace Museum's security measures and the storage locations of some national treasures. If they were known to foreign criminals, the hidden dangers would be enormous."
"Have these national treasures been moved?" Jiang Mingxin asked.
Bai Ling shook her head: "What's the point of moving if we don't find the traitor? It's better to investigate secretly and capture him in one fell swoop."
Jiang Mingxin now fully understood the seriousness of the matter and followed her into the Meridian Gate.
He put the sunglasses on his nose as he walked.
Put your index finger and middle finger together and draw a talisman in the air at your forehead.
Golden lines like flames immediately appeared in her pupils.
It was the first time Bailing saw her use the secret technique, and she didn't even dare to blink as she watched from the side.
"How is it?" Her voice was hoarse.
"Are you sure you are only searching for Northern Wei painted pottery figurines?" Jiang Mingxin used a targeted search and directly bound the lost Northern Wei painted pottery figurines to the search bar.
Of course this is assuming there are photos.
Bai Ling confirmed, "President Lu believes that the Northern Wei painted pottery figurines were lost recently and likely haven't had a chance to be transported out of the Palace Museum yet, but it's hard to say for the others."
"Okay, then I have good news for you. They are indeed still in the Forbidden City."
"Really?" Bai Ling was a little bit unconvinced. "We came here just to give it a try."
"The most dangerous place is the safest place. This person is not only brave and careful, but also knows the Forbidden City very well. Naturally, he would not risk hiding somewhere else."
Jiang Mingxin walked in along the direction of the coordinates and stretched out his hand to her: "Give me a coordinate map of the Forbidden City."
Bailing took out the coordinate map and handed it to her, a look of surprise on her face. "You can actually determine the exact coordinates?"
"Otherwise, how can it be called special abilities?" Jiang Mingxin strode towards the Wuying Palace.
Turning south from Wuying Palace is Taihemen Square. Walk around the pond and cross a short stone bridge lined with stone lions, and you will soon reach the Cining Palace Garden.
At this time, two security guards came out and wanted to check their ID.
Bailing took out her Security Bureau ID and dealt with it.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang Mingxin walked around the water room and came to a courtyard that was not open to the public.
There was a big lock on the door and everything was silent.
Bai Ling's features twisted into a knot as she whispered, "Do you know where this is? The Taiping House near the water room is where the Palace Museum Research Institute works."
Jiang Mingxin stared at the red frame in his sight and smiled faintly: "It's dark under the lamp. This person is really brave."
"He must be a very conceited person. He hid his things very secretly, underground. If I'm not mistaken, there should be a well in this yard, or a cellar. Let's search it directly!"
Bai Ling didn't dare to believe it completely.
What if they get the search warrant but don’t find anything and alert the suspect?
"It doesn't matter if I alert the enemy. I have already bound these terracotta warriors. They can't escape."
Seeing her so confident, Bailing immediately went to a secluded place, took out her cell phone from her backpack and reported to Lao Fan.
Lao Fan agreed with their action. He and Xiao Lu were nearby and would be there soon.
The National Security Agency must also abide by the rules.
According to the law, a search requires at least three people to be present and supervise each other.
At this moment, an angry shout rang out behind them: "Who are you? How did you get in?"
A short, fat young man suddenly appeared from nowhere and yelled at them.
In her hand was a large enamel cup with a crack in the lid, emitting a rich aroma of tea.
Jiang Mingxin turned his head and looked over.
Looking at his hands, you can tell that he is a new apprentice.
"Of course I bought a ticket and walked in."
"I'm asking who you are? Do you know where this is? Get out, get out now!"
The young man had squinty eyes, a face full of acne, rosacea, and an arrogant look, as if he was bossing people around.
Jiang Mingxin was a little angry and was about to retort when Bailing pulled him back.
"Comrade, we just happened to walk here. There's no sign warning us not to enter, and there's no roadblocks around. And you're telling us to get lost. Isn't that too much?"
Obviously, Bailing is not the kind of person who would suffer a loss.
Not only did he speak with hidden ulterior motives, but he also turned the tables on him.
The young man was furious, waving his arms and saying, "This is the Palace Museum Research Institute's restoration center. Outsiders are not allowed in! Are you leaving or not? If not, I'll call security and tell them you're trying to steal national treasures!"
Bai Ling looked angry.
"Stealing national treasures? What evidence do you have? You're just slandering me. I think you're the one who's sneaking around and acting suspiciously!"
