Hiding at home with nothing to do, letting others go out to carry out missions - this feeling, both Li Yuebai and Ye Qing are not used to it.
It's like changing from a hero who saves the world to a rare and protected plant. It needs to be kept in a greenhouse, covered in a glass enclosure, and several combination locks are installed.
After receiving the notification from the system in the morning, he went over the whole story of the Yongfeng company robbery, and Ye Qing reported the situation to the bureau.
The content of the report is that a group of robbers intends to break into the headquarters of Yongfeng Company with guns this afternoon to rob, and there are still dormant vampires in the warehouse of Yongfeng Company, so special attention must be paid.
When reporting, Ye Qing certainly would not say that the information was obtained from the system, nor would he say that he is a time traveler, anyway, he has the identity of a computer genius as a cover, no matter what the information is, he will say yes Just cut it from someone else's server.
Since Ye Qing solved several vampire-related cases one after another, of course the higher-ups attached great importance to his reports, and immediately sent a large army to guard them.
"So it's considered to be hidden this time?" Li Yuebai always felt that the matter was solved too easily this time: "It's the first time I have encountered this kind of problem that can be solved by just sitting at home and not going out to run around." matter… "
He lay down on the sofa and hugged the pillow: "Ah... Is this the feeling of safety? Teacher, I haven't felt it for a long time..."
"I am the one who is safe for the time being." Ye Qing calmly reminded him: "Gao Chengyu's subordinates may come back to seek revenge on you at any time, so you are not safe..."
Li Yuebai had no choice but to throw down the pillow and sat up again, stroked his hair and sighed: "I said Xiaoye, can't you make me happy for a while?"
I had no choice but to get up and continue reasoning.
According to their previous speculation, Gao Chengyu should be in Europe now.
Naturally, domestic affairs were left to his remaining party members.
It's strange to say that Gao Chengyu has quite a foundation in this city, and there are a lot of people under his command. How come none of these people have come to trouble Gu Xisha (Li Yuebai) until now
Gu Xisha had originally collected a lot of Gao Chengyu's criminal materials, and there was a full bookcase. Later, in order to avoid danger, Li Yuebai read all the materials of his subordinates and memorized them in his mind.
Up to now, these people have been quiet and nothing has happened.
Is it waiting for something
Li Yuebai fell into deep thought while holding the information, and after not thinking for a long time, his eyes were attracted by Ye Qing's computer screen.
Ye Qing's computer screen is playing the city's instant news.
"Hello, citizens! This afternoon, a batch of newly unearthed Ming Dynasty cultural relics will be exhibited in the Municipal Museum!" On the screen, the hostess had a bright smile on her face, and her voice was very exciting: "These cultural relics were not long ago. Unearthed in the outskirts of this city, the era belongs to the Longqing period in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. There are inscribed gold ingots, emerald head crowns, jade plaques, jade hairpins... golden wine pots, etc... "
Cultural relics of the Ming Dynasty... Li Yuebai looked at it a few more times, and couldn't help but think of the "Blood Charm" at hand.
The photographer did not disappoint either. The lens showed a dazzling array of photos of cultural relics, which were very attractive. Li Yuebai seemed to have seen the scene where people were eager to buy tickets to watch.
With the experience of the previous cases, the two of them immediately became nervous when they heard the word "cultural relic". Ye Qing tapped on the keyboard, and other information about this exhibition appeared on the screen.
Pictures, videos... Interviews with the archaeological team...
I checked them one by one, but found nothing suspicious.
"Is there anything else?" Li Yuebai was not at ease: "The official video did not show all the cultural relics. If there are paparazzi or something..."
"Yes." Ye Qing found a blog of a freelance reporter.
The blogger is a freelance reporter who runs very fast. Whenever there is any big news, he will try his best to sneak in and take pictures, and then publish it on his blog. Because his blog is relatively private and few people see it, so he unexpectedly It was not seized, and this time he secretly photographed some unpublished cultural relics.
The photos are very large and clear, as if they were secretly photographed at the cleaning site after the excavation. Members of the archaeological team put all the things together, and what they took was a group photo—they are indeed genuine and good things, with a dazzling array of gold and jade. The most conspicuous ones are those officially announced golden pots and jade medals.
There are a few pottery puppets next to it, which makes it look much more simple, not to mention that there is something in the pottery puppets that seems to be carved from wood, which is even simpler.
The thing was the size of a palm, colorful in color, and seemed to be in the shape of a human.
"Zoom in here." Li Yuebai jumped up from the sofa and pointed at the figure.
"This is really just a statue, not a dormant body." Ye Qing frowned, and obediently paused and zoomed in. He could see clearly that this was really not a dormant body.
In the past few days, the two of them have had trouble with the dormant body every day, looking for the dormant body in the video every day. I am afraid that Li Yuebai has been overly sensitive, and when he sees a human form, he thinks it is a dormant body.
"No, teacher, am I so stupid?" Li Yuebai was speechless: "I know this is just a wood carving, but the problem is that the style of this wood carving is obviously wrong!"
After zooming in and doing a little bit of clarity, the image of the woodcarving was clearly displayed in front of the two of them.
It was a smiling figure, colorful, with a pointed hat on its head, pointed shoes on its feet, loose and funny clothes on its body, a high and pointed nose with a hook, and its mouth grinned to the side of its face when it smiled. The face is carved with strange patterns, which looks a little scary.
"This is not a Chinese cultural relic at all." Li Yuebai asserted.
There is no distinction between literature and history. Although he is not a professional researcher, he can still judge the difference in style. No matter how you look at this wood carving, it is an image of a clown at the end of the European Middle Ages.
The clown, that is, Joker, Fool... is a character in the ancient court for the ruler to tease and amuse, often served by dwarves and weirdos, and sometimes translated as "Jester".
There is also a video on the freelance reporter's blog, Ye Qing also clicked on it and watched it.
The video is very blurry, and the general content is that the archaeologists routinely scanned the pile of cultural relics with metal detection instruments. Whenever they found metal cultural relics, such as swords and gold and silver jugs, the instrument would make a beeping sound.
The clown wooden sculpture was placed together with other pottery puppets. Strangely, when the metal detection equipment scanned them, they also made a faint beeping sound, and quickly disappeared, and the archaeologists did not pay attention.
"Very suspicious." Ye Qing admitted.
Could it be that there are some metal components hidden inside the clown wood carving
"It's nine o'clock in the morning." Li Yuebai looked at his watch: "The news said that the city museum exhibition starts at three o'clock in the afternoon, which is more than enough time."
"Three o'clock in the afternoon?" Ye Qing was a little confused: "There is something wrong with this time."
"what is the problem?"
"I just went to the internal website of the city museum to check, and found that their original exhibition time was two o'clock in the afternoon, but it was changed to three o'clock in the afternoon before the news was announced."
"Postponed?" Li Yuebai thought for a while: "It stands to reason that it is common to postpone the time due to lack of preparation... But it still feels a bit strange..."
This incident is full of weirdness, and we must go to the scene to investigate.
The large force of the Municipal Bureau has already gone to guard Yongfeng Company, and of course he has to go to the museum by himself.
"Let's go, take your weapons and go to the museum." Li Yuebai greeted Ye Qing.
"Going out?" Ye Qing frowned suspiciously: "Aren't you afraid of encountering danger?"
Just now, Li Yuebai told Ye Qing to stay at home and hide in his heart, and never go out to cause trouble, and never give the dormant body a chance to invade him.
"It's not that you can't act, but that you can't act alone." Li Yuebai thought about it seriously: "It's safer for two people to be together."
In his more than 20 years of life, Li Yuebai has always followed the passive defense route. If the enemy does not move, he will not move. In the future, I will encounter more troubles on my side, so I might as well take the initiative to go over there to prevent things that shouldn't happen.
At ten o'clock in the morning, they arrived at the Municipal Museum.
The Municipal Museum is very large. When you enter the gate, you will find a small clean square. The exhibition halls are divided into three.
Few people came this morning, and everything was deserted.
Ye Qing and Li Yuebai quickly found the curator.
The curator is about to retire soon, and there is an exhibition to worry about in the afternoon. He didn't plan to meet the visitors, but when the secretary informed him that it was the police officer who called last time, he decisively decided to meet.
"After thinking about it, what I said on the phone last time still caused you trouble." The curator has a refined appearance, and despite his age, his demeanor is still undiminished: "This kind of small incident without loss of life and property is really serious. It’s not worth your waste of police force, sorry, Comrade Public Security.”
"Where is there." Li Yuebai said seriously: "Although there is no loss of life or property for the time being, there is no guarantee that it will not trigger a follow-up reaction, so we will thoroughly investigate that matter, and we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer when the time comes."
"That's good, that's good." The curator said: "Those two came this time to..."
"For this afternoon's exhibition, we have received information that there may be criminals who have plans for the exhibited cultural relics." Li Yue made up without blinking: "So I want to consult the curator about the specific situation of the cultural relics."
"Oh." The curator frowned: "This batch of cultural relics unearthed from ancient tombs of the Ming Dynasty is indeed valuable, but our security measures are relatively strict. Of course, it would be even better if we can get help and support from the Municipal Public Security Bureau."
"I have a question, and I would like to consult the curator." Li Yuebai took out the information: "The information shows that the previous exhibitions held by the Municipal Museum started at two o'clock in the afternoon. Why does today's exhibition start at three o'clock in the afternoon?"
"Oh, this is nothing." The curator replied: "Because it is a newly unearthed cultural relic, there are many damages, so we temporarily invited experts from the National Museum to do the restoration work. Since the restoration work still needs a little finishing, It delayed the exhibition time by an hour."
Restoration work...
Li Yuebai's heart tightened again.
When the cultural relics were unearthed, the archaeologists did not report any unusual news.
If there is a dormant body in that clown wood carving, then it should also be looking for a host. Since no archaeologists have been found as a host...then the next target is likely to be the nearest restoration expert.
"Can we visit the restoration process of cultural relics? It is also convenient to better help the protection of cultural relics this afternoon." Li Yuebai suggested.
The curator readily agreed.
