"Chief, we've found a bronze mirror."

"Chief, we've found an ancient book."

"Chief, we've found a small Buddha statue."

Cheng Jie kept nodding. These tomb raiders were incredibly audacious, leaving so many cultural relics openly in their home.

"Chief, we've found a bunch of bowls and plates."

Chang Kun leaned closer, took a closer look, and burst out laughing: "These are just ordinary bowls and plates used for eating at home, not some kind of antique!"

The man blushed and argued, "These are all stolen goods; they'll all be confiscated later."

Cheng Jie waved his hand: "Alright, what kind of taste do you have? Go back to the city and bring the car. We need a car to transport all this stuff."

As one artifact after another was laid out on the ground, Cheng Jie's brows furrowed more and more. This group of tomb raiders was making a fortune; these artifacts alone were enough to chop off their heads.

Seeing that the police had searched every corner, Chang Kun pointed to a brick wall and said, "Brother Cheng, something doesn't seem right with this wall. Let's take it apart and see."

Cheng Jie waved his hand, and the police officers, who had long witnessed Chang Kun's abilities, all began to dismantle the wall.

"Bang!" The last brick on the wall was removed.

"I've got it! Here's a box!" a police officer shouted excitedly, holding up the box.

"Open it! Open it and see!" everyone exclaimed excitedly.

If the tomb raiders left so many artifacts outside, how precious must the things hidden inside the walls be?

As you unwrap layer after layer of kraft paper, you find layers of oil paper inside, then layers of velvet cloth, and finally, the carved mahogany box is revealed.

The box was not locked, which suggests that the tomb raiders knew that such a hidden place had been discovered, and a lock would not have been enough to stop them.

Carefully open the box, and a soft light shines out.

"This! What kind of jade is this?" A policeman carefully touched the jade in the box, paused for a moment, and then gently held it in his hand to show it to everyone.

This is a palm-sized piece of white jade, its texture as delicate as mutton fat, without a single impurity. A coiled dragon is carved on the jade, its scales overlapping each other, as if a gentle touch would bring the dragon to life.

The most peculiar luster of the white jade is not cold like that of ordinary jade, but rather like gentle moonlight, dazzling people even in the daytime.

The room became completely quiet.

*Gulp!*

Someone swallowed hard, startling everyone awake.

Cheng Jie carefully took the white jade with both hands, his Adam's apple bobbing a few times before he spoke: "This thing, if it were in a museum, it would probably be a treasure of the highest order."

"Little Kun, this is a huge achievement! Thank goodness we found it, otherwise losing such a treasure would have been heartbreaking!"

Cheng Jie was secretly delighted. Just for this piece of white jade, he could probably get a collective third-class merit award. This was a great loss saved for the organization!

Chang Kun nodded. He compared the white jade bracelet unearthed from the courtyard with this piece of white jade in his mind and found that the two were incomparable and not even in the same league.

That Zaibo is the son of Prince Qing, which is really lacking in prestige. The treasures buried in the courtyard are too ordinary.

"Xiao Kun, search around carefully again and see if there are any other treasures." Cheng Jie was no longer at ease with the other police officers searching for cultural relics, fearing that something might be missed.

"Brother Cheng, there's nothing left here. Let's go check the south side of the village." Chang Kun had already looked the house inside and out, and there were no other treasures.

"Let's go, if we find another piece of white jade like this, we'll apply for a second-class merit!" Cheng Jie pulled Chang Kun away; he couldn't wait any longer.

Upon arriving at the house in the south of the village, the police had already cleared out the cultural relics, which were also displayed all over the floor inside the house.

Chang Kun spotted at a glance a glowing treasure buried deep underground.

"Brother Cheng, there's something wrong with this ground." Chang Kun pointed to the glowing ground.

"Quickly, move these things aside and dig this up." Compared to the museum's prized artifacts, these bronze mirrors, hairpins, and porcelain bowls are nothing special.

The blue bricks on the ground were lifted up, and the soil was gradually removed, revealing a large box to everyone.

As the box was carried out, the lid was opened, and the tarpaulin was lifted, revealing a set of bronze chimes.

Even those who don't know much about antiques know that if it's bronze and it's a set of chime bells, it means that it's ancient and rare.

It's definitely a treasure among treasures!

This set of chime bells has a simple and elegant design, with exquisite coiled glass patterns cast on the bells. The lines are smooth and lifelike. The bells are of different sizes and are hung one after another on a wooden bell frame.

"Good! Very good!" Cheng Jie suddenly laughed a few times and gently closed the lid.

With this set of chime bells and that white jade, we can easily surpass all the stolen goods seized by other police stations in a year.

Today is such a good day, he was so happy he almost wanted to sing. He turned to look at Chang Kun next to him, reached out and hugged his neck: "Xiao Kun, how are you so amazing? You can shoot and you can find treasure."

"Brother Cheng, you're drunk even without drinking..." I've never seen Cheng Jie look so smug before.

"Haha, I'm so happy. I think I'll be the number one police station in the city this year."

The other police officers were also excited. With the collective effort, each of them would benefit. They had already tasted the sweetness of success when Chang Kun caught enemy agents last time, and now that he had come again, Chang Kun was simply a lucky star for their police station.

A jeep arrived, and numerous cultural relics were transported back to the institute. Leaders from the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Culture, who had already heard rumors, were already waiting at the institute.

"Xiao Kun, we're all family, so I won't entertain you any longer. There are quite a few leaders here." Cheng Jie greeted Chang Kun and then hurried into the office.

Chang Kun smiled. These cultural artifacts will most likely end up in museums, but it depends on what the Ministry of Culture offers in exchange for the Ministry of Public Security. Two precious treasures can't just be taken away for nothing.

However, none of this concerned Chang Kun. That day, he first went to the secondhand market to buy things, then took the little girls to play, and finally made two trips to a small mountain village in the west of the city to catch tomb raiders. He was exhausted.

Now, all he wants to do is get home and lie down.

When they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, three young girls were standing upright in the corner.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Chang Kun asked in surprise. Chang Qing and Chang Mu were usually naughty and often got punished, but this was the first time he had seen Xiao Xiu'er being punished by standing in the corner.

"What's wrong? Ask them!" Liu Meifen pouted, still angry.

Wang Cuiqin, standing nearby, laughed and patted the counter: "Xiao Kun, you don't know, these three little girls stand outside our supply and marketing cooperative. Every time a customer comes, they throw a firecracker."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but laugh again: "Your mother and I were wondering why not many people came to buy anything all afternoon. When we went out, we saw these three little girls throwing firecrackers and scaring everyone away. Those who weren't scared away kept throwing them."

Liu Meifen rolled her eyes: "It's a good thing the director isn't here, otherwise he would have scared all the guests away and wouldn't let them come to play anymore."

Chang Kun: ...

That old woman is really something.

I'm not worried that the little girls will ruin the supply and marketing cooperative's business; I'm only worried that they'll have nowhere to play.
