Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Saito Akihiro's cheek twitched violently.

Immediately afterwards, the right hand holding the photo frame began to shake violently.

I didn't expect that I could get something out of it by just lying.

He must know the secret of the photo!

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"This photo is a family photo. You have no idea how much it means to me!"

"I don't want to see you again!"

"Get out of here, everyone!"

Saito Akihiro's stern but cowardly words made me even more certain that he knew the secret in the photo.

Only then did Boss Dong find an opportunity to smooth things over.

Putting on a smile, he said, "He didn't mean it."

"I saw someone I knew in the photo, so I picked it up and looked at it carefully."

"Oh, he said he knew Professor Zhang in the photo."

"Shitou, tell me if you know him or not."

"He knows my dad?" Saito Akihiro sneered, "How is that possible!"

I put my hands in my pockets and said, "Professor Zhang is a professor in the History Department of Northwestern University."

"The girl in the photo is your sister Zhang Nan, who is also currently studying at Northwestern University."

Saito Akihiro was stunned for a few seconds.

Suddenly he strode towards me.

He asked excitedly, "My father and my sister, are they, are they living well?"

"Tell me, tell me now!"

I can understand his excitement.

Because I also want to know how my parents are doing now.

"Your father had an accident before and fell into a coma."

"I'll accompany Zhang Nan to take care of your father."

"But not long ago, your mother suddenly returned home and took your father and your sister away."

"He said he was taking your father to the capital for better treatment."

"Don't you know about this?"

When I asked back casually, my heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Saito Akihiro should know this!

Unless there is no connection between him and his mother!

But when something big happens at home, family members should contact and discuss it.

Saito Akihiro began to tremble all over.

There was an expression on his face as if he had seen a ghost.

His whole face was distorted, and his facial features were twisted into a ball.

"No, it's impossible!"

"My mother...she, she died three years ago!"

"How could she take my father away!"

"No way, absolutely impossible!"

"My mother is dead, she's dead!"

"I saw her being put into the coffin and buried with my own eyes!"

"She will never live again..."

Saito Akihiro seemed to be mentally disturbed.

He kept repeating similar words in his mouth.

But his eyes revealed extreme panic and his face looked very scared.

It seems that his mother's death... is not simple!

Boss Dong and I looked at each other.

There was surprise in their eyes.

Neither of us expected that Saito Akihiro's mother had died.

And a dead man actually traveled thousands of miles back to the country to pick up Professor Zhang.

This is even more bizarre than Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio.

I think either Saito Akihiro's mother is not dead.

Or someone pretended to be his dead mother and traveled to the country to take Professor Zhang and Zhang Nan away.

Snapped!

Saito Akihiro suddenly threw the photo frame to the ground.

The photo frame was smashed into pieces.

Broken glass was scattered all over the photo.

He reached out and picked up the photo, holding the broken glass in his hand.

Sharp glass shards cut the skin.

Blood flowed from the wound, staining a corner of the photo red.

He stared at the photo of his mother and said hatefully, "Poisonous woman!!!"

"You vicious woman!!!"

“Dead but still haunting!!!”

"I should have burned this photo too!"

Saito Akihiro roared and wanted to tear the photo into pieces.

But I snatched the photo from his hand.

His eyes were red and he glared at me fiercely.

That ferocious look was like a demon crawling out of hell.

I took two steps back with the photo in hand.

"Calm down first."

"This isn't the original photo. It's useless even if you tear it up."

Saito Akihiro's ferocious expression froze on his face.

After a while.

His expression relaxed and he gradually calmed down.

"It's not the original photo. What do you mean?"

"Someone just sneaked into the office. Brother Dong pulled me under the table, and then I saw him replace the photo in the frame..."

Saito Akihiro slumped in his chair.

His face turned paler than paper.

"coming."

"finally come."

"I knew I couldn't escape..."

"I can't hide, what should I do?"

He started mumbling like a lunatic again.

Put your hands in your hair, grab it firmly and pull it upwards.

Pulled up the scalp.

"Zhang Hao, what are you afraid of?" I asked with a frown.

Saito Akihiro slowly bent down.

The body curls up little by little.

She held her head with her hands and buried her face between her legs.

He said in a muffled voice: "You will never imagine how horrible my experience was."

"I don't even dare to recall..."

"I burned all the photos that carried my memories so that I wouldn't have to recall them anymore."

"The only thing I couldn't bear to burn was the family photo."

“Because it’s not only a family photo, it also has a map on the back!”

"About the map of the great tomb!"

Tomb, map?

Boss Dong and I both had our eyes light up.

Everyone pricked up their ears to listen to what Saito Akihiro would say next.

"In the early 1960s, my father joined a research team to participate in field research."

"The research team went to a county near Baoji and conducted investigations for nearly a month."

"During this period, my father went out alone."

"While out he discovered a wasteland in the farmland."

"Local farmers said that no matter how much they cared for the land, it didn't grow much crops, and over time it became barren."

I raised my eyebrows when I heard this.

Barren land that does not grow crops may not have any special meaning if placed elsewhere.

But it’s different in Baoji.

Baoji was formerly known as Chencang, Yongcheng, Xiguo and Xiqi.

Friends who have read The Investiture of the Gods should all know the ancient name of Xiqi.

Xiqi was one of the capitals of the Zhou State.

There are many high-level tombs of the Western Zhou Dynasty buried in the surrounding area.

The Hezun, a national treasure with the inscription "Zezi Zhongguo", was unearthed in Baoji.

The Maogong Ding, Dayu Ding, Guo Jizi Bai Pan and Sanshi Pan, known as the "Four National Treasures of the Late Qing Dynasty", were all unearthed in Baoji.

Experts in the cultural relics and archaeological fields have summarized the five major characteristics of the bronzes unearthed in Baoji: large quantity, many important pieces, many fine pieces, many inscriptions, and many standard pieces.

This shows the high level of the Shang and Zhou tombs around Baoji.

During the Zhou Dynasty, tombs were not sealed or planted with trees.

There is no mound on the ground, but because of the need to seal the tomb, the backfill soil of the burial site will be rammed.

The texture of the soil after tamping is compact.

Neither weeds nor crops find it easy to take root.

Therefore, the surface vegetation is not lush.

This is also one of the characteristics of finding high-level tombs from the Zhou Dynasty in the northern region, especially around Xiqi.

"My father concluded that it was a high-level tomb dating from the late Shang Dynasty to the early Western Zhou Dynasty."

"But he didn't report the location of the tomb to the research team."

"Instead, I drew the location of the grave on the back of the family photo I carry with me."

Saito Akihiro suddenly looked up and stared at me.

Slowly said: "The day my mother took me away from home."

"My father secretly put this photo in my arms."

"He told me to hide the photos."

"Don't let Mom see this!!!"
