Not long after, Xu Jiajia walked out of the women’s restroom. Her hands were still wet, and she had clearly just washed her hands.
She walked out of the toilet and stopped in her tracks. She quietly looked at Su Yun, who was sitting in the distance and playing with his phone with his head lowered. A thoughtful look flashed in her eyes.
Finally, looking at Su Yun’s side profile with his head lowered and his indifferent temperament, Xu Jiajia’s eyes were immediately filled with gentleness. She smiled and quickly walked over.
“You’re getting impatient, aren’t you?”
“No, let’s go. I’ve already reserved a seat. Let’s eat first.”
Su Yun stood up and put away his phone. He handed her a piece of paper to wipe her hands.
Xu Jiajia seemed to have forgotten that she was still angry just now. At this moment, she turned around and hugged Su Yun’s arm. She smiled and said,
“I’m hungry. Let’s go.”
At noon, the two of them had a simple meal. The gathering was scheduled to gather at 1:30.
Seeing that it was about time, the two of them did not delay any longer. They did not rest much and hurriedly took a taxi to Burning Light Ancient City.
The Burning Light Ancient City was 20 kilometers west of the city. It was considered the outer ring of the city and was not too far from the city center.
Due to its location at the most flat intersection at the foot of the mountain range to the west of the Burning Mountains and the fact that there was an ancient river with long lights, such a special geography created the natural tourist advantage of Ancient Hibiscus City.
Of course, the foot of this Burning Mountain was not the same of that Burning Mountain. It was completely different from Big Head Yang’s location and was separated in two directions.
This was because the Burning Mountain Range stretched for hundreds of miles. From one end to the other, it spanned many regions, but it could be considered the foot of the Burning Mountain.
Therefore, although they were all at the foot of the mountain, they were not in the same place at all. They were just leaning against the Burning Mountain Range.
This Burning Light Ancient City was an ancient yamen before the founding of the country. It carried a large number of historical ruins of the city.
When the city was developing, it relied on the Burning Light Ancient City to create a tourist holy land. Every year, it attracted a large number of tourists.
As the times changed, Burning Light Ancient City was no longer the same as before. It was even built by an endless stream of investors as a famous antique holy land nearby and even in the country.
There were large-scale traditional programs and large-scale ancient relics exchanges here all year round.
It was similar to the Panjiayuan in the capital.
After passing through a long mountain tunnel, the surrounding rocks and trees showed the godly workmanship of nature.
Xu Jiajia looked at the huge rock on the green mountain that she had not seen for a long time and was so excited that she cried out. She kept pulling Su Yun’s sleeve to let him see.
Su Yun was thinking about something. He did not know if he would be able to see the cultural relic restoration expert today as he wished and how to get his help.
However, he could not withstand Xu Jiajia’s fanaticism. He could only reluctantly accommodate her. Occasionally, he would be pulled by Xu Jiajia to take a selfie.
However, just behind their taxi, an inconspicuous van was following in the endless traffic.
When he followed them out of the Burning Mountain Tunnel, the little eyes on Old Ghost’s face immediately narrowed because he was too familiar with this path!
Before robbing the ancient tomb of the Warring States period, they had often gone to the Ancient Relics Market in the ancient city to buy and sell goods.
And now, Big Brother and the others had just gone over to look for clues!
Because there was the largest ancient relics market in Hibiscus City, they were worried that the gold foil would be sold there, so they came to take a look.
Moreover, there were all kinds of people here. They could take the opportunity to inquire about some information.
And now, looking at the direction the taxi was heading in, it was clearly heading straight for Burning Light Ancient City.
This immediately made Old Ghost vigilant. He immediately called Pig Head
Rong.
“Big Brother, there’s an emergency!”
“Speak!”
“This kid is going to Burning Light Ancient City!”
Hearing this, Pig Head Rong paused for a long time before saying word by word, “A college student and live streamer went to the ancient city for no reason? Something is wrong!”
Old Ghost guessed, “That’s right, Big Brother. I wonder if he wants to find out how to sell the gold foil? If that’s the case, then this gold foil might really be on him!”
Pig Head Rong laughed sinisterly. “Let mm come. Coincidentally, we’re all In
Burning Light Ancient City. It’s going to be lively now!” Old Ghost said, “Alright, I’ll meet up with you guys first.”
“Keep an eye on him and report back at any time.”
“Don’t worry, Big Brother.”
After giving his instructions, Old Ghost’s listlessness was immediately swept away. He sighed in his heart. It was still his big brother who was strategizing!
Who would have thought that other than being a little handsome, this kid looked ordinary everywhere else, but there seemed to be a problem?
However, no one could confirm if the gold foil was with him or not. They could only continue to investigate. Fortunately, they had the biggest suspect at the moment!
For a moment, Old Ghost immediately perked up and focused on following Su
Yun’s taxi.
Not long after, the grand and ancient door of the Burning Light Ancient City had already appeared at the end of the road.
“Wow, I haven’t been here for a long time. Burning Light Ancient City is so magnificent now. It must have been renovated and built again.”
In the taxi, Xu Jiajia opened her big watery eyes and stared straight at the archway of the ancient city of Burning Light. She could not wait to pull Su Yun in.
Soon, the taxi stopped a distance away from the entrance. The cars in front were not allowed to enter.
After Su Yun paid the fare, Xu Jiajia hugged his arm and hurried towards the ancient city.
At the same time, on the road leading to the Burning Mountain Tunnel.
A black sedan was shuttling through the traffic.
There were three men and a woman sitting inside. They were all wearing ordinary clothes, but they were plain clothes of the police. They were Zhou Xiaoxiao, Captain Chen Ye, and Xiao Li.
At this moment, Xiao Li was narrating some of the clues he knew so far and making a summary report. “According to the latest clues, it’s very likely that the group of grave robbers went to the vicinity of the Burning Light Ancient City, but the comrades who were spying on them did not find any traces of them. It can be seen that their anti- reconnaissance ability is very strong. Initial suspicion is that they might be heading for the ghost market, and this time, Burning Light Ancient City is our destination.”
Chen Ye nodded and said, “The Burning Light Ancient City is a famous literary place nearby. It’s normal for tomb robbers to go here, but it’s also abnormal because it’s too ostentatious. We can’t rule out the possibility that it’s a smoke bomb.”
Indeed, Chen Ye did not expect that the gold foil had changed owners long ago. Otherwise, the tomb raiders would not have taken such a huge risk to go to Burning Light Ancient City.
After a pause, Chen Ye said, “No matter what, go take a look first. Remember to keep this operation secret. Don’t alert the enemy.”
Xiao Li and Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded with serious expressions.
The two of them knew very well that this group of tomb raiders was extremely vicious and evil. They had to be careful. If they were not careful, something big might happen!
“Xiaoxiao, do you have any clues recently?”
Xiao Li was driving. Chen Ye sat in the front passenger seat and turned to ask Zhou Xiaoxiao, who was sitting in the back seat.
On the other hand, Zhou Xiaoxiao looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
“If you have anything to say, just say it.”
“Captain Chen, I did find some clues, but I’m not too sure.”
“Oh? Tell me about it.”
Zhou Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment and said seriously, “That’s right. I found someone who appeared in the robber case and the tomb raid! Captain Chen, do you think this is a clue?”
Chen Ye was stunned for a moment before asking with a strange expression, “Don’t tell me you’re talking about that streamer with sixty years of cultivation?”
Zhou Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded. “Uh… Captain Chen, how did you know?”
Chen Ye shook his head and laughed. “Yesterday, Dr. Qin came to my office to return the money. He told me that you asked him some questions. Dr. Qin asked me to calm you down. He was worried that you would be under too much mental pressure.”
After a pause, Chen Ye asked, “You don’t think it’s cards that are murder
weapons, do you?”
Zhou Xiaoxiao sweated and said, “Although I also think that it’s unrealistic for a card to kill someone, I still feel that something is wrong. After all, Su Yun has indeed appeared at the scene twice. It’s too coincidental.”
Chen Ye nodded. “Your suspicion is reasonable, but death by cards indeed goes against common sense and doesn’t conform to the reality. Back then, during the robber case, we also checked the surveillance cameras of the ATM ATM and visited the people to confirm that Su Yun didn’t carry any weapons. We eliminated his suspicion, so…”
Chen Ye shook his head. “Unless cards can really kill people, it can’t be him. However, Dr. Qin has also explained very professionally and scientifically that the wound couldn’t have been caused by flying cards. Otherwise, this is simply beyond the scope of humans. The human body can’t achieve it at all.
You can’t be brainwashed just because you watch his livestream for a long time and think that he really has divine power. After all, this is not a novel.”
As Xiao Li drove, he comforted her with a smile. “Xiaoxiao, I think you’re just under too much pressure. Just like Dr. Qin and Captain Chen said, if poker cards can cause that kind of exquisite and terrifying wound, it will really be a martial arts reflection of reality. Apothecary Huang’s Spirit Flicking Technique has come true and overturned the world.”
Seeing the two of them say that, Zhou Xiaoxiao felt that she was thinking too much. How could she take the special effects seriously? She even had some doubts…
Perhaps she had been under too much pressure recently!
At the thought of this, Zhou Xiaoxiao sighed and said, “It’s indeed too much pressure, but I still plan to go back and look for Su Yun again. I’ll ask if there are any clues I missed that day. At the same time, I’ll confirm the matter of the card. Treat it as untying the knot in my heart.”
Hearing her say this, Chen Ye and Xiao Li looked at each other. They were a little worried about Zhou Xiaoxiao’s mental state, but they did not say anything else.
At this moment, the outline of the ancient city had already appeared in the distance.
“We’re here.”
Xiao Li reminded.
“Eh?”
discovered something and turned to look at a familiar figure not far away from the window.
“Su Yun?”
