Chapter 323: Came to your door?
Before the rooster crows the next morning, Liu Jingfeng and his party left the West Village without leaving any trace.
After the ban was lifted, Qu Gui immediately sent his men to the mausoleum to investigate the situation.
The men found signs of movement on the mausoleum door, but tried to push it but still got no response.
Checking the hole left behind again, the branches and leaves outside the hole had been turned over, but they had been put back.
There is nothing questionable in other respects.
He truthfully told Qu Gui the results of his investigation.
Qu Gui vaguely felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.
"Our robbery hole has been discovered. They should want to take this opportunity to catch us. These boys are too young." Qu Gui thought about it and found this was the only possibility.
That afternoon, Warner also returned to the West Village.
After hearing about what happened last night, he felt that everything was not a coincidence.
Could it be that Lin Ran betrayed himself?
However, except for the special investigation team that came to inspect the tomb, no other abnormalities were found.
He looked at Qu Gui, a hint of suspicion flashed in both of their eyes.
"If you find something wrong, give him in the tomb..."
Qu Gui immediately arranged for his men to go to Xialin Village to see if there was anything unusual about Lin Ran.
Two middle-aged men arrived at the door of Lin Ran's house with gloomy faces.
Seeing Lin Ran's parents busy in the yard, they looked at each other and didn't see Lin Ran. Sure enough, something was wrong.
So a person came up and asked, "Hey, is Lin Ran at home?"
Father Lin and Mother Lin were stunned. They didn't know the guy in front of them, but they still maintained basic courtesy: "What do you want to see Lin Ran for?"
"Is he at home?" he emphasized again.
Seeing the unkind person coming, Father Lin and Mother Lin couldn't help but become alert: "Why are you looking for my son?"
The two tomb robbers thought that Lin Ran was indeed not at home, and they stopped asking. When they turned around and were about to leave, they heard Lin Ran's voice coming from behind.
"What do you want from me?" Lin Ran was wearing casual clothes and holding a book in his hand. He seemed to be interrupted while reading.
If you go to the grave all night, you will definitely not have the energy to read any more today.
The two tomb robbers looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward and said with a smile: "It's nothing, but the boss asked me to inform you, don't forget the work the day after tomorrow."
Lin Ran opened the courtyard door, walked to them, and said in a reproachful tone: "What are you talking about? How can my family know about this?"
"It was us who were rude." The two tomb robbers pretended to smile, nodded and smiled at Lin Ran's parents, and then fled as fast as they could.
Father Lin looked at Lin Ran in confusion and asked: "Xiao Ran, who were those two people just now? Why did you talk about work the day after tomorrow?"
"They're from the museum." Lin Ran made up a reason casually, not wanting to worry his parents. "They are natives who cooperate with the museum, also known as tomb robbers. The museum wants to buy cultural relics from them, and I will help them. Palm palm eye.”
With this explanation, his parents felt at ease and repeatedly told Lin Ran to make money within the scope of the law and never do anything illegal.
Of course Lin Ran agreed wholeheartedly. He looked at the tomb robbers with the corner of his eye and felt relieved after they had left.
"Dad, Mom, I'm reading in the room. Call me during lunch." Lin Ran felt tired. He had pretended to be awake just now, but now he was exhausted.
When he returned to the room, he immediately lay on the bed and fell asleep.
Fortunately, Liu Jingfeng sent him home before dawn, and Lin Ran kept an eye on it. He knew that Qu Gui would send people to his home to check, so he didn't sleep a wink until nine o'clock.
As for the cultural relics, they were temporarily handed over to Liu Jingfeng for safekeeping. He trusted these people.
The appointed date arrived in a blink of an eye.
Lin Ran got up early, and Warner himself drove a sports car to pick him up.
At this time, Lin Ran truly became the focus of the village.
Because the villagers not only saw sports cars, but also blond and blue-eyed foreigners.
Most of the villagers in this era were living a life with their backs on the earth, and few outsiders had ever seen them, let alone foreigners.
Lin's father and Lin's mother were also very nervous. Huaner actually spoke to them in fluent Chinese: "I'm asking Lin Ran to help me with some help. Don't worry, I will ensure his safety and will be back soon."
After saying hello in advance, Father Lin and Mother Lin also accepted the matter.
During the drive, Warner kept boasting to Lin Ran: "Mr. Lin, as long as you follow us well, we will never treat you badly."
As he spoke, he also took out a black plastic bag with a thick stack of banknotes inside.
In order to maintain his character, Lin Ran pretended to be greedy, took the banknotes and counted them.
Very satisfied with Lin Ran's performance, Warner said proudly: "No need to count, there is a deposit of 1 yuan in it."
"Deposit?"
"No matter whether there is anything in the tomb, the money is yours." Warner said kindly, "If there are valuable goods, I will give you an extra commission."
He kept observing Lin Ran's expression through the car's rearview mirror.
Lin Ran deliberately pretended to be snobbish, as if he didn't believe Warner, and carefully counted the money in the bag.
Sure enough, it was ten thousand. Warner was really a wealthy owner.
After he counted the money, he smiled and said: "Mr. Warner, please don't worry about collecting money to do things. I will definitely help you take care of it."
"Haha, there is actually nothing for you to do." Warner said, "I just like the ability to identify treasures. However, you said before that you have read many books on tombs, so I will give you a chance to practice. I hope you can take advantage of it.”
Warner looked calm and continued driving.
In fact, Lin Ran saw a hint of chill in his eyes.
How could he not understand the real purpose of Warner asking him to go to the grave.
How could a tomb robber, especially a northern tomb robber team, trust a neutral person?
They needed Lin Ran to be their accomplice so that they wouldn't be afraid of being betrayed by him.
On the other hand, the day before yesterday, two tomb robbers visited his home. It was obvious that the visitors were evil and they must be suspicious of him.
As long as he shows his true qualities, he will definitely be destroyed by them!
