Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

There is a lot of information in Huang Ziran's words.

Whose hidden chess piece is driver Lao Zheng?

Since he knew that Lao Zheng was a hidden chess piece, why did he let Lao Zheng drive?

And my value is even higher than he expected...

I don’t even know what my fucking worth is!

Huang Ziran glanced at me with a wary look on his face.

Then take a puff of cigarette.

Blow out a smoke ring from your mouth.

The white smoke ring was very round and slowly floated towards me.

That was the first time I saw someone blow smoke rings.

I was a little surprised.

I can't understand how smoke can be exhaled in such a round shape.

Later, I learned it from someone and became obsessed with blowing smoke rings for a while.

During that time, whenever I smoked, I would blow smoke rings to look cool.

The smoke ring floated in front of me and had not yet dissipated.

I was wary of a trick in the smoke ring, so I quickly took a few steps sideways to avoid it.

Huang Ziran threw away the cigarette butt.

He smiled and pointed at me a few times with his index finger.

"It's just exhaled smoke."

"Do you need to be so cautious?"

"You kid, after all, you still don't believe me."

I said coldly, "People's hearts are hidden in their stomachs. Only by being careful can you sail safely for a thousand years."

"And you don't consider me your own."

"Old Zheng didn't even tell me about the hidden chess piece."

"Also, what's with you saying I'm worth more than you think?"

Huang Ziran got up from the ground.

He casually brushed off the dust on his clothes.

"It's not that I don't want to talk to you about this, Old Zheng."

"It happened too suddenly."

"Oh!" Huang Ziran sighed heavily.

He said depressedly: "I originally wanted to use Lao Zheng to catch a big fish."

"Unexpectedly, the other side didn't care about Lao Zheng's hidden chess piece."

“Just use it right away!”

I was completely confused.

Although I understand that Huang Ziran wants to use Lao Zheng to set up a trap.

But who is the other side he is talking about, and what does it have to do with me?

Huang Ziran took out another cigarette and put it in his mouth.

He even threw one to me.

"Are you curious about who I'm talking about?"

I nodded and brought the cigarette to my lips.

Huang Ziran lit the cigarette with the match he struck and started smoking.

"I'm quite curious."

"And from what you said, it seems the other side is using Old Zheng as a hidden chess piece to target me?"

"If I ask myself honestly, I'm just a peasant who grew up in the village."

"I don't have any special abilities at all, so why would I be targeted specifically?"

"Tsk!" Huang Ziran curled his lips and made a disdainful sound.

"Don't pretend."

"The tomb of the King of Bi State that you dug up was not a simple one."

"The inscribed bronze plate found in Tuoye's house, was it you who took it out of the tomb?"

"The inscription on the bronze plate records events related to immortality."

"That's immortality!"

"How many emperors and nobles dream of immortality!"

"To be honest, one of the important tasks of our bureau is to explore all information related to immortality."

Huang Ziran paused slightly.

He took a puff of his cigarette and continued, "You've been to the tomb of the King of Bi State, and you've also been to the cave where my brother died unexpectedly."

"Both of these places are related to the inscription that Black Tai Sui bestows immortality."

"So your greatest value in my eyes before... was the possibility of helping me find more clues about immortality."

"It's different now."

"The other side values ​​you so much, which means you have greater value."

"Perhaps, you are the key to finding immortality."

Huang Ziran's eyes shone brightly.

Staring at me with burning eyes as if looking at a treasure.

I turned my head away from his gaze.

He asked, "You haven't told me who's on the other side yet."

Huang Ziran hesitated.

With a complicated expression, he said, "You may not believe it if I tell you."

"The bureau has fought against the enemy several times, but still hasn't figured out the identity of the enemy's main messenger."

"Their people come from very complex backgrounds, and they include people from all walks of life."

"Every time we find a key point, the other side will cut off the relationship in advance."

"The bureau has combined various intelligence analyses and believes that the person on the other side is a special agent who has been lurking for decades."

I was a little confused when I heard it.

Wasn't it just a tomb robbery by accident? How did he get involved in such a big incident?

There are also special personnel who have been lurking for decades...

and many more!

Uncle Tuo, Ma Si, and Old Man Su, could they be special personnel lurking here?

If so.

The mastermind behind the scenes as mentioned by Ma Si and Old Man Su.

Could it be that the people on the other side that Huang Ziran mentioned are the same group?

I have to find a chance to verify it.

We have to find out who is behind this!

Well, actually, let’s talk about it.

Is there an invisible hand behind the increasingly rampant tomb-robbing that has been going on since the late 1970s?

My answer is – yes.

Just like a line in a public service announcement later: No buying, no killing.

The same goes for tomb robbing.

Starting from the late 1970s, a large amount of overseas funds poured in to purchase antiques, thus starting the myth of getting rich through tomb robbing.

The people or consortiums that control these overseas funds are the invisible hands that secretly guide and manipulate them.

The opposite side that Huang Ziran mentioned is actually inextricably linked to this invisible giant hand.

"I've told you everything I should and shouldn't have said."

"Now, it's time to go."

Huang Ziran stepped forward.

I waited until he walked about ten meters away before I jogged after him.

"Leaving now? My things are still in the car."

"Besides, were the car and Old Zheng's body just left in the irrigation canal?"

Whether you take the ghost-head knife or not is secondary.

The main problem is that if the car and Lao Zheng's body are not handled properly, it may cause unnecessary trouble.

Huang Ziran turned his head and looked in the direction of the car.

He said calmly, "Someone will take care of it."

"Your things won't be lost, they will be returned to you."

From what he said, it seemed that there was someone in charge of cleaning up the mess.

Think about it too.

Bureau 749 is such a special unit, so it must have special handling procedures.

But since someone is here to deal with it, why not just wait here?

Why bother to keep moving forward on your own two legs?

We haven’t even reached Caijiaopo yet, and we’re still far away from Baoji.

"Captain Huang, let's wait for the cleanup crew to arrive."

"Take their car to Baoji."

"Otherwise, we'd have to walk dozens of kilometers and our feet would be worn out."

Huang Ziran continued walking forward.

"It's hard to say whether there are any hidden chess pieces from the other side among the post-processing personnel."

"You want to sleep with one eye open in the middle of the night?"

I immediately understood what he meant.

When you know there is a traitor in the team, you can use the traitor to make plans.

But if you are not sure whether there is a traitor in the team, you have to be on guard at all times.

There is a saying: There are only thieves who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days.

Instead of being on guard all the time, it is better to go from open to covert.

Huang Ziran led me into the cornfield: "Old Zheng's death disrupted our plans."

"So we have to go from light to darkness."

"There are two brothers in the village ahead who are good tomb robbers."

"Later, you can act out your true self and go over to talk to them."

"Just say they found a large tomb nearby and want to team up with the local tyrants to do something big."
