Chapter 71: Could It Be… Flying Cards?!
....Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Su Yun deliberately lied to mislead him, but it did not affect the consultation.
Professor Lü said, “As for metal, it depends on the material. For example, gold and silver might destroy the original patterns. After repair, there will be subtle flaws. If it’s an item with a pattern, I’m afraid it will be more complicated.”
Hearing that it would destroy the original picture, Su Yun immediately felt that the difficulty of repairing it was too great. Most importantly, he did not know what material the Warring States gold foil was made of.
“Professor Lü, I don’t know what material it is, but there is indeed a pattern on it. I wonder if it can be restored.”
Professor Lü’s ancient eyes moved as if he was thinking. Then, he slowly said, “I wonder if you have a photo of the complete pattern from before?”
Su Yun thought to himself, Of course I have it, but I can’t show it to you. What if it’s exposed?
Moreover, that pattern appeared and disappeared intermittently. Even his phone could not take a photo of it!
“Professor, there’s no complete pattern.”
Professor Lü frowned and pondered. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepened a little. After a long time, he said helplessly, “Then I am even more helpless. This is like something that we have never seen before. In a situation where we can’t study it, we can only use our current knowledge to imagine. This might completely misinterpret our original consciousness into another meaning.”
Su Yun’s heart sank when he heard this. The old professor was right. For example, the Sanxingdui pile of cultural relics that had been unearthed not long ago. Until now, people were still imagining what the bronze giant was holding in its ring-shaped hand.
The old professor suddenly said, “Little Su, don’t be discouraged. I know some experts in this field, but I’m not sure if I can help you. If you have time recently, I can introduce you to them and ask them in detail.’
“That’s great. I’ll have to trouble you to introduce me, Professor. I’ll treat you to tea at the academy later.”
“That’s good. I’m just worried that no one will talk to me when I retire. Little Su, I think you’re quite diligent and eager to learn. As long as you find the right path, you’ll still be able to achieve a lot. By the way, I still have some ancient books. Perhaps you’ll like to read them.”
Su Yun knew that Professor Lü was secretly reminding him not to indulge in feudal superstitions.
However, he was also affirming himself in another aspect.
The two of them chatted for a while on the phone. In the end, they were both very happy.
After Professor Lü left, Lü Hongya rolled her eyes at Su Yun, so she was no longer in the mood to PK with him.
“Su Yun, let’s compete in real skills next time. I’ll convince you!” Lü Hongya waved her pink fist and threatened arrogantly.
Su Yun was suddenly in a good mood. His brows relaxed. He had gained a lot from today’s livestream. Perhaps he could find a powerful repairman to repair the gold foil!
Now that he was in a good mood, he was naturally not afraid of battle. He symbolically raised his fist the size of a sandbag.
“Bring it on! I’m not afraid of you!”
“Hmph! Just you wait!”
Lü Hongya snorted coldly and said something ruthless before closing the livestream connection.
Su Yun did not take Lü Hongya’s threat to heart at all. He only hoped that Professor Lü could find him a skilled cultural relic restoration expert.
After that, Su Yun went offline early after broadcasting for half an hour.
He began to think about how he could find a time to visit Professor Lü and how
he could take out the gold toil tor the cultural relic restoration expert to take a look.
Tonight was the third day of the theft of the ancient tomb of the Warring States Period. It was also the third day of the disappearance of the golden foil, which attracted the attention of countless people…
In the past few days, it was destined that the city would not be too peaceful.
Just like at this moment, in the police station of Hibiscus City, night had just fallen, but many comrades were still working overtime. Because of the recent robbery and tomb raid, there were countless connections because of a third party. However, there were no clues now, causing the mission to become even more heavy.
In Captain Chen’s office, he had just brewed tea and planned to stay up late to work.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door. “Captain Chen, I’m here to report the situation of the black market.” “Come in quickly. We’re just waiting for you!”
Little Qin hugged his notebook and rushed into Chen Ye’s office.
“How is it? You look quite tired. It’s been hard on you.”
Little Qin steadied himself and took a few deep breaths. Seeing this, Chen Ye handed over the tea he had just poured.
—Gulp gulp gulp.
Little Qin could not care less about the temperature of the tea. He drank most of it in one gulp before letting out a long breath.
At Chen Ye’s signal, Little Qin quickly sat down and handed the notebook in his hand to him. “Captain Chen, this is the result of me running around for the entire day. Take a look.”
Chen Ye took the notebook and looked at a few pages. He realized that they were carefully recorded information about the various places in the black market.
“Captain Chen, I also asked shops and small factories with hydraulic equipment or self-made industrial products to leave usage records.”
“In addition, some stores that sell second-hand goods have also taken sales records. I’ll get the other comrades to organize them and send them to you later.”
“Thank you for your hard work. I’ll check these later. Did you see any suspicious weapons in so many black markets?”
“Captain Chen, there are a few companies selling slingshots or crossbows, but they don’t have any special weapons that match the characteristics of our case.”
Hearing this, Chen Ye’s heart turned cold. He thought to himself, “Everyone has been busy for so long, but there are no clues at all?”
If even the black market did not sell it, did this mysterious weapon not circulate yet, or did they have other secret channels?
If it hadn’t been circulated yet, it meant that the robber case and the mysterious existence of the tomb raiding case were inextricably linked, or even one person.
If there were other secret weapons sales channels, it meant that there was a terrifying arms industry chain in the dark. It was also very important! “Little Qin, get off work and go back to rest. It’s been hard on you today.”
“Yes, okay.”
After chatting for a while, Little Qin left. Chen Ye fell into deep thought.
Then, he went to the director’s office and reported the news that he had found nothing in the black market to Director Zhang.
After hearing the news, Bureau Chief Zhang let out a long sigh. He had a headache.
“The clues of the weapon have been cut off, and we haven’t found any traces of third-party forces or tomb robbers…”
“Director, that’s not all. The tomb robbers have a very strong motive and are with mercenaries. I’m afraid things aren’t that simple.” Chief Zhang:
He felt that Chen Ye was deliberately adding fuel to the fire.
After that, Chief Zhang communicated and negotiated with the Internet Surveillance Bureau and decided to temporarily block the livestreams of bows, or toy pistols.
Of course, only the livestreams in Hibiscus City were sealed, as well as blocking the recommendations for the other cities’ livestreams.
As the night deepened, ordinary people would not notice the changes in
Hibiscus City, nor would they sense the undercurrents surging in Hibiscus City.
Chen Ye left the bureau chief’s office and was about to go back and continue pretending when he saw Zhou Xiaoxiao return in a hurry.
“Xiaoxiao is back? Any new clues?”
“No. I’ve also received information from the military, but I still can’t find the reason why the mercenaries and tomb robbers joined forces. However, according to our speculation, they have a very strong motive. They only want that mysterious lost artifact and don’t want anything else. There’s a high chance that there’s a mastermind behind it!
“By the way! The archeologists are also urgently decoding it, but we don’t know the value and significance of the lost cultural relic at the moment. However, according to the archeologists’ deduction, this cultural relic might have other special value!”
“What’s so special about this cultural relic? Isn’t it just an antique? What other meaning can it have?” Someone couldn’t help but interrupt when he heard the conversation.
Zhou Xiaoxiao shook her head and sat on the chair with a cry. She let out a rough breath and said, “I don’t know. That’s what the expert said. He speculated that it might not be as simple as an antique cultural relic. Perhaps its true value is not reflected in this, but has another use. Of course, the expert also obtained some clues from deciphering the murals. We can’t confirm it now.”
“Alright, have some food and rest first. Don’t tire yourself out.”
“Will do.”
Zhou Xiaoxiao took out her phone and casually ordered takeout. After all, there would be no food left in the canteen at this time.
During the meal, Zhou Xiaoxiao opened the livestream room, planning to see if
Su Yun was on as usual.
Unknowingly, Zhou Xiaoxiao’s account had become Su Yun’s hardcore fan.
Ever since she returned that day and met Su Yun again this morning, she felt that something was wrong. She suspected that she had missed some clues. However, after listening to the recording a few times, she did not find anything new.
She subconsciously opened Su Yun’s live-stream and saw that he was connected to a female Taekwondo streamer.
As she watched the livestream, she ate and enjoyed the rare relaxation in the past few days.
After a long time, after dinner, Zhou Xiaoxiao leaned back in her chair in satisfaction. She was so tired that she did not want to move.
At this moment, footsteps sounded. Zhou Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but turn around and see Qin Ming passing by.
“Dr. Qin, are you working overtime at this hour?”
Qin Ming smiled at her. “That’s right. The tomb robber’s corpse has just been dissected. The results of the fatal injury have yet to be compared. What can we do if we don’t work overtime?”
Zhou Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up. She seemed to have thought of something and hurriedly stopped him.
“Um… Dr. Qin, don’t leave yet. I have something to ask you.”
Qin Ming stopped and asked curiously, “What?”
Zhou Xiaoxiao sat up straight and pointed at Su Yun’s livestream on the phone screen. She asked, “Dr.. Qin, do you think cards can achieve the fatal effect of the tomb robber?”
