Before coming here, she had a simple understanding of Su Yun’s situation.
In addition, she often watched Su Yun’s livestream, so there was nothing special about what she saw in Su Yun’s room at this moment.
The lights in the corner of the room, the phone stand, the poker card storage box, and the livestream computer and equipment in the other corner all showed Su Yun’s identity.
The shoe cabinet at the door was almost filled with men’s shoes of the same size. The bowls and chopsticks in the kitchen were all for one person, which was enough to show that Su Yun was indeed living alone.
This was exactly the same as what she had seen in the livestream. “Officer Zhou, what do you want to drink? Hot tea or cold drink?”

“I’ll have a cold drink, thank you.’
Su Yun took out a can of Coke from the fridge and handed it to Zhou Xiaoxiao.
“I wonder what Officer Zhou wants to ask me?”
Zhou Xiaoxiao took the cola and was too embarrassed to open it. She only held it in her hands.
“It’s like this. According to the investigation of the residents near the Burning Mountain, on the morning of the day before yesterday, after the heavy rain at the foot of the Burning Mountain, you appeared at the foot of the Burning Mountain and even called the police to report that you had been attacked.”
Su Yun suddenly realized that it was indeed because of this.
“Yes.”
Zhou Xiaoxiao continued. “It was raining heavily that night, and not many people went up the mountain. However, you appeared nearby in the early morning on a rainy night and caused quite a commotion. Can you tell me what happened?”
As she spoke, Zhou Xiaoxiao took out a recording pen and placed it on the table. She added, “The nearby residents said that you were drenched and looked very haggard. Was it because of the attack?”
Even now, Su Yun was still a little angry when he thought of what happened that night. He was chased for no reason and no one could do anything bad.
At this moment, facing Zhou Xiaoxiao’s questioning, Su Yun did not hide it. He immediately said with a dark expression, “Actually, I went up the mountain that morning.
Moreover, I was with my classmate, Big Head Yang. At that time, it was still drizzling. He went to the Burning Mountain Reservoir to fish, while I went to the mountains to livestream and practice throwing cards.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Xiaoxiao smiled. Previously, she had vaguely guessed
Su Yun’s motive for entering the mountain. Although she had not watched the livestream for the past few days, she had seen the livestream records before coming today and knew that what Su Yun said was true.
“I know that. To be honest, we’ve already checked your livestream records before we came. It seems that your livestream was suddenly cut off at six in the afternoon. Was it an emergency and you were attacked?”
Su Yun shook his head and said gloomily, “Not really. It’s just that my phone suddenly ran out of battery. Later, I saw that it was getting late, so I planned to go back down the mountain.
“However, halfway there, I encountered a group of sneaky people…”
Zhou Xiaoxiao immediately sat up straight. She knew that Su Yun had hit the nail on the head. She listened attentively like a cold goddess with a hint of seriousness.
Seeing her like this, Su Yun also realized that this case might not be simple. Otherwise, the city police would not have specially sent someone over.
Recalling the grand occasion at Burning Mountain this morning, Su Yun could not help but ask curiously, “By the way, Officer, I saw many police cars going to Burning Mountain this morning. Is it also because of the group of people who attacked me?”
Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded. This was not a secret, so she told the truth. “The person who attacked you is very likely a group of tomb robbers who are involved in a grave robbing case, so I’ll consult you and see if you can provide us with some help.”
“Hm?”
Upon hearing this, Su Yun was stunned. His face stiffened for a moment, but he covered it very well. His expression instantly returned to normal.
“What happened?”
Zhou Xiaoxiao looked at Su Yun and asked curiously.
Su Yun shook his head and smiled bitterly. “I’m fine. I originally thought that this group of people were poaching or killing people in the wild to dump their corpses. I didn’t expect them to be tomb robbers. Are tomb robbers so vicious now? They actually have to silence people when they see them?”
Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded seriously and reminded him seriously, “Yes, this group of tomb robbers is extraordinary. There are even criminals who have crossed the border. Their methods are definitely not as light as thieves. I can only say that you’re very lucky to have successfully escaped. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.”
“That was really dangerous!” As he spoke, Su Yun had a lingering fear on his face, but an imperceptible splendor flashed in the depths of his eyes. His tone was gentle as he asked casually, “I heard from my classmates that a fisherman called the police and said that an ancient tomb had been discovered. Could it be that valuable antiques had already been stolen?”
Zhou Xiaoxiao looked at Su Yun in surprise, not knowing why he was so curious.
As if sensing Zhou Xiaoxiao’s confusion, Su Yun chuckled and explained, “Oh, it’s like this. When I bumped into this group of sneaky people the other day, they were lying on the ground, as if they were digging for something. Now it seems that they’re digging graves! I wonder if this can provide you with any clues?”
Zhou Xiaoxiao quickly asked, “Can you see the exact situation of their excavation? This clue is very important or very helpful to us!”
“Well…”
Su Yun looked like he was thinking. He frowned and recalled. “At that time, the sky was too dark, but the rain had already stopped. I vaguely heard that they seemed to be looking for something. They even asked others to come down to look for it, but it seemed that they couldn’t go down and needed to guard it.”
Zhou Xiaoxiao’s eyes lit up, as if she had caught on to something important.
She hurriedly asked, “Can you hear what they’re looking for?”
Su Yun frowned and continued to think. “I vaguely remember. It seems to be… what was it again?”
When Zhou Xiaoxiao went to the scene today, she clearly remembered that
Professor Xie had said that there was nothing valuable in this ancient tomb. Instead, the murals were very archeological, but this thing was clearly not in the category of tomb raiders.
Therefore, what the grave robbers were looking for must be very precious and special. Otherwise, why would they take such a huge risk and even involve mercenaries?
In the end, Professor Xie made a deduction and reconstruction based on the traces in the tomb. In the end, he confirmed that the lost cultural relic should be a box-shaped antique!
At this moment, Zhou Xiaoxiao saw Su Yun thinking hard. He seemed to have an idea, but he could not remember it for a while.
She could only stare anxiously at the side!
In the end, Zhou Xiaoxiao thought carefully and confirmed that some information in the ancient tomb ruins was not confidential at the moment. After all, many interns who went to archeology knew about this.
Now, in order to better remind Su Yun of his memories and provide clues, Zhou Xiaoxiao immediately reminded him, “This is an ancient tomb from the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period. A square box-shaped thing was lost in it.
According to information analysed by experts from the Cultural Relics Bureau in the murals, what was stored in the box might be an ancient bamboo slip containing important information or a piece of oracle bone.
“Think about it. Have you heard anything similar from tomb robbers? A few words might be enough. Perhaps they will provide us with very important clues.”
A box?
A bamboo slip or an oracle bone piece?
Upon hearing this, Su Yun’s hand that was holding the cup trembled slightly…
