Old Harden, can you handle having your vision-shifting abilities on all the time?

Xu Xing did not hide anything and briefly recounted what he had observed the previous night.

"Last night I felt that the fire was suspicious, and I noticed that Lin Zhiqiang and the hotel manager's expressions were off. Considering that this was the second fire in a week, I felt that something was wrong."

"I discovered Lin Zhiqiang was missing this morning, so I thought I'd try my luck and I actually found him."

Lin Wan was stunned after hearing the whole thing, and looked at Xu Xing with eyes full of admiration.

"So what do we do now?"

"Call the police."

As Xu Xing spoke, he took out his phone and dialed 110.

The call was quickly connected, and Xu Xing described his discovery in detail.

The dispatcher's tone immediately turned serious upon hearing this: "Sir, are you sure?"

"I'm absolutely sure."

"Okay, I will forward the message to the relevant department immediately. Please keep your phone accessible."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xing said to Lin Wan, "Let's go back to the camp first and wait for the police to arrive."

Lin Wan nodded and followed him back.

The two hadn't walked far when Xu Xing's phone rang.

"Hello, is this Mr. Xu Xing?"

A steady male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"it's me."

"I am Zhao, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Chang'an Municipal Public Security Bureau. We received a report that you discovered traces of tomb raiding at Guanshan Ranch. Could you elaborate?"

Xu Xing recounted his findings again, including the traces of the Luoyang shovel, the fire last night, and the suspicious behavior of Lin Zhiqiang and the hotel manager.

After listening for a few seconds, Officer Zhao said, "Okay, I understand. We will send someone over immediately. Mr. Xu, please return to a crowded place with your companion and ensure your safety by not making any rash moves."

"clear."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Xing pulled Lin Wan along and quickly walked back to the camp.

About half an hour later, the sound of police sirens could be heard in the distance.

Several police cars arrived shortly afterward, followed by two vehicles belonging to the People's Armed Police.

As soon as the police car came to a stop, more than a dozen armed police officers and armed police jumped out and quickly cordoned off the scene.

The team leader was a middle-aged police officer in his early forties, with two bars and two stars on his shoulder insignia.

He strode to the front of the crowd, scanned the group with his eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Which one of you is Mr. Xu Xing?"

Xu Xing raised his hand: "It's me."

Officer Zhao strode over and shook hands with him: "Mr. Xu, could you please take us to see that place?"

"it is good."

Without saying a word, Xu Xing led Officer Zhao and several policemen toward the hillside.

Along the way, he recounted his findings and speculations in detail.

After listening, Officer Zhao nodded solemnly: "Mr. Xu, thank you very much for your report."

Xu Xing waved his hand: "It's my duty."

Officer Zhao asked a few more questions, then had people take photos as evidence, and arranged for people to conduct a search in the vicinity.

Xu Xing was then taken to the local county public security bureau to give a detailed statement.

Lin Wan also accompanied them to give their statements.

After they finished giving their statements, Officer Zhao personally saw them out, saying, "Mr. Xu, Ms. Lin, thank you for your cooperation."

We've caught those tomb raiders. They were hiding in a nearby cave when our armed police caught them red-handed. And because you discovered them in time, they only dug a passage to the outside of the burial chamber; they haven't caused any substantial damage to the main burial chamber yet.

"According to the information from the cultural relics department, the preliminary assessment is that it is a Han Dynasty noble burial complex, and the cultural relics inside are of extremely high value."

"Furthermore, according to the hotel manager's statement, a girl named Qin Ya gave him money to cooperate in arson. After reviewing the hotel's surveillance footage, it was confirmed that Qin Ya came with Lin Zhiqiang. We have just summoned Qin Ya and Lin Zhiqiang."

Xu Xing nodded: "That's good."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Xu Xing left with Lin Wan.

Lin Wan stood at the doorway, raised her hand to shield her eyes from the glaring sunlight, and let out a long sigh of relief.

"We're finally out."

Xu Xing laughed and said, "Exciting, right? But I'm sorry to have disrupted your team building plans."

Lin Wan waved her hand with a smile and said, "Team building isn't very interesting. I sent a message to Director Ma saying that I wasn't feeling well and wouldn't be participating."

Anyway, with such a big incident, they don't know when this will be over.

Xu Xing nodded and asked, "Are you hungry? Shall we find somewhere to eat something?"

"I'm starving! I stayed up so late last night and didn't eat much this morning. I could eat a whole cow now."

The two found a small restaurant that looked fairly clean and ordered a few home-style dishes.

While waiting for her food, Lin Wan's phone kept vibrating; it was all news from her colleagues in the company group chat discussing the tomb raiding incident.

"Holy crap, did you guys hear? That fire last night was set by tomb raiders!"

"Really? Who discovered it?"

"It seems to be Lin Wan's boyfriend. I heard he found the marks of the Luoyang shovel when he went for a walk this morning and immediately called the police."

"Wow, this is amazing! Just what kind of god is Lin Wan's boyfriend?"

"I heard that the cultural relics bureau has been alarmed, saying it is a Han Dynasty noble tomb complex."

"Lin Wan also showed her face, she'll definitely receive a big banner."

Lin Wan looked at the message on her phone screen, and a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.

She handed her phone to Xu Xing and said, "Look at you, you've become a celebrity in our company now."

Xu Xing glanced at it, smiled, and said nothing.

The dishes were served quickly, and the two ate and chatted, gradually shifting the topic from the tomb raiding incident to other things.

After finishing her meal, Lin Wan yawned, a few tears welling up in the corner of her eye.

Xu Xing asked, "Are you sleepy?"

"Yeah, I didn't sleep well last night and tossed and turned all morning, my eyelids are drooping now."

"Shall we find a place to catch up on some sleep?"

Lin Wan glanced at him, a mischievous glint in her eyes: "Are you sure you're just catching up on sleep?"

Xu Xing remained unfazed: "Of course, I'm a respectable person."

"I'd never believe you."

Lin Wan rolled her eyes at him, but still picked up her bag and stood up.

The two found a decent-looking budget hotel nearby and booked a double room.

The room wasn't big, but it was clean and tidy. The curtains, when drawn, blocked out the outside light, creating a dim atmosphere suitable for sleep.

Lin Wan kicked off her shoes and threw herself onto the soft mattress, letting out a comfortable sigh.

"Finally, I can lie down."

Xu Xing also took off his coat and lay down next to her.

Lin Wan naturally turned over, rested her head on his arm, and curled up in his arms like a cat.

"Don't move around, I really want to sleep."

"Okay, go to sleep."

Xu Xing gently patted her back, feeling her breathing gradually become even, and closed his eyes as well.

The two slept exceptionally well and went to a nearby food street in the evening.

The two strolled from one end to the other, eating kebabs, drinking milk tea, and trying stinky tofu. Finally, each of them sat on a bench by the roadside with a bowl of ice jelly, watching the crowds come and go.

I strolled slowly along the cobblestone streets of the old street, occasionally stopping to browse the small shops and buy some cultural and creative products.

After walking and stopping frequently, Xu Xing stopped in front of an antique stall around 8 p.m.

The stall displayed a variety of items, including old books, old coins, bronzeware, and some broken porcelain.

Xu Xing's gaze fell on a piece of porcelain in the corner of the stall.

It was a porcelain piece that had been damaged and then restored. The shape was a typical gui-style incense burner, with a mouth diameter of about 20 centimeters, a height of about 15 centimeters, and two handles and a ring foot.

The entire vessel is covered in a sky-blue glaze, which is warm and lustrous like jade. The glaze surface has fine crackles, presenting a simple and elegant beauty.

However, the entire porcelain piece has obvious signs of damage, and the body was broken into several pieces from the belly and repaired using the porcelain mending technique.

A lot of staples were used, more than a dozen of various sizes, distributed at the break and the crease.

Xu Xing squatted down, picked up the porcelain piece, and examined it carefully.
