Chapter 3 Chapter 2 The Strange Behavior of Amateur Grave Robbers

Bai Su had already driven the car to the side of the road when he heard half of it, stopped and listened to my story attentively. Bai Su said: "There is a certain connection between Qi Bai and Shan Si!" I said angrily: "Of course, there are two of them, one is a professional, the other is an amateur, they are all grave robbers—" When I said this, I stopped abruptly to calm myself down.Indeed, there must be some connection between Shan Si and Qi Bai. From those two tapes, and Shan Si's actions, some things can be strung together.Let’s assume that Qi Bai arrived at a certain mysterious place, Shan Si knew about it, thought that Qi Bai found something and gave it to me, so he came to ask me for it.When I denied anything, Shan Si knocked me unconscious and searched in my study. This is the reason why my study suffered a catastrophe.

I thought about it for a while: "Yes, Shan Si and Qi Bai are related." Bai Su let out a "hmm", started the car again, and drove forward. After about half an hour, the car turned into a ramp.You can see Shansi's large garden house built on the hill.This house was built by Shan Si's ancestors. It is quite old in style, but it is well maintained. The construction of this bungalow was a huge project.The whole road up the mountain is just for this house.Not long after driving up the ramp, there was an iron gate that looked extremely strong. Bai Su stopped the car, I was about to jump out, Bai Su said: "I'll go."

I smiled: "Don't worry, I won't do anything stupid until I see him." Bai Su didn't say anything else, I got out of the car, came to the iron gate, pressed a button, and a man's voice came out when the intercom was neutral: "Excuse me, what can I do?" I said, "My surname is Wei, I'm looking for Shan Si." The voice said: "Mr. Shan Si is not at home." I was very angry: "Don't talk nonsense to me, open the iron door quickly, let him come out to see me, don't think that an iron door can stop me, ask him what he did in my house just now, hurry up Come out and meet me, and I can spare his life."

Because I was really angry, I cussed out a series of non-stop words, and when I finished, the voice said: "Mr. Wei, don't be angry. Mr. Shan is really not at home. He went to Egypt two months ago." , never came back." I said loudly: "I don't believe it, you let me in." That voice: "Mr. Wei, you...you are..." I said, "My name is Wesley." The voice cheered suddenly: "It turned out to be Mr. Wesley, please come in ##### I'm so sorry, I didn't know it was you, we are waiting for you, please come in." The person who was talking to me had a cold attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away, but after hearing my name, he suddenly became warmly welcoming, and I don't know why.While the man was speaking, the iron gate had been opened.

I went back to the car, and Bai Su was driving up the slope. After a while, I saw a convertible car with four people sitting in it, driving towards me. When the car approached, the convertible car stopped and four people Everyone stood up, very respectful.A bald middle-aged man gestured and said, "Welcome, Mr. Wei, welcome." Such a grand welcome surprised me even more. I stretched out my hand from the car window and waved to them.The four people in the convertible car sat down again# The car turned around and led the way, Bai Su drove the car, followed behind, and drove for about ten minutes before arriving in front of the big bungalow. Eight people stood, both men and women.

As soon as Bai Sucai stopped the car, someone rushed over to open the door. I stepped out of the car, and everyone lined up again to salute me. The bald middle-aged man's expression was even more respectful: "Mr. Wei, please come in." I was very puzzled in my heart, thinking, it is probably because Shan Si knew that he had caused trouble, and I would not let him go, so I ordered his family to be so polite to me, so that I would not be angry. Since people greeted me with smiles, I felt uncomfortable, so I nodded and walked inward.After entering the door, there is a rather large living room. Two servants took a few steps forward and pushed open the door of the hall.

The layout of the hall is very luxurious, it is a classical western style layout, I sneered in my heart, thinking about this guy alone, it can be said that he is full of tricks! I just sat down# The few people who greeted me at the door lined up in front of me again, and Bai Su stood in front of a large glass cabinet, looking at the porcelain displayed in the cabinet.I know that any piece of porcelain in this cabinet will be worth more than 200,000 pounds if it is put up for auction. The bald man bowed deeply to me again: "Mr. Wei, my name is Feng Hai, you can call me Ah Hai." I frowned: "Mr. Feng—" I called him, and his expression became extremely frightened, and he said repeatedly: "Don't call me that, Mr. Wei, I... I am a housekeeper, and all these male and female servants I can obey your orders."

I hummed: "Dan Si thinks that I will let him go? Tell him to get out." Feng Hai froze for a moment, as if he didn't know what I meant by telling Shan Si to "get out".He was a little at a loss: "Mr. Wei, Mr. Shan is not at home. He went to Egypt two months ago and never came back." I stared at him, Feng Hai looked very nervous, sweat was protruding from the top of his bald head, I said, "Really? He hasn't been back yet?" Feng Haidao: "Yes, he—" I didn't wait for him to finish, so I shouted sharply: "If he's not here, who told you to be so polite to me?"

Feng Haidao: "It's Mr. Shan." I sneered and said, "That's it, tell him to get out!" Feng Hai's eyes were wide open, with a look of surprise and inexplicable surprise, and the expressions of the other servants were also very strange.Feng Hai was at a loss and made meaningless gestures: "Mr. Wei, I'm afraid you... misunderstood, Mr. Shan told us that as soon as you come, you will be the owner of this house, and we will obey your orders, whatever you want. What do you like. Even if you want to set fire to the house, we will help you." After hearing what Feng Hai said, I calmed down a lot and sighed: "Forget it, let him come out."

Feng Haidao: "Mr. Wei, he told me what he told me before he left home." I was taken aback suddenly: "What?" Feng Haidao: "Two months ago, when he left home for Egypt." I blinked involuntarily: Two months ago, Shan Si left home to go to Egypt, why did he tell his housekeeper that I can be the master of this house? Bai Su also turned around, with the same surprised expression: "Mr. Feng, speak slowly." Feng Hai hurriedly said: "Call me Ah Hai, yes, let me say slowly, two months ago, about two months ago, the correct date is—" I interrupted him: "You don't have to memorize it, how about it?"

Feng Hai stroked his bald head: "That day, Mr. Shan was in the cellar, and there was a long-distance call for him. I took the phone to the cellar, and Mr. Shan yelled when he heard it." Bai Su made a gesture to Feng Hai: "Think about it carefully, what did he call at that time?" Feng Haidao: "Yes, Mr. Shan was on the phone, and I answered the phone, so I knew it was from Egypt. He called: 'Qi Bai, you are not human?' I don't know what the other party said. , he shouted again: "Of course, wait for me, how can I participate without me.'" After listening to Feng Hai's retelling, Bai Su and I looked at each other.The call came from Egypt, and there was no doubt that it was Qi Bai calling him. And at this time, it was about the time when I received Qi Bai's telegram.Why didn't Qi Bai call me?If he talks to me on the phone, then I can find out what happened to him. Seeing that the two of us were silent, Feng Hai continued: "I don't know what the other party said, but Mr. Shan said again: 'No, it's impossible, you must have made a mistake, this kind of mistake, Only those who are new to the industry will make mistakes. What? I was wrong, stop talking nonsense.' The other party talked for a while, and Mr. Shan seemed to be angry: "Let's talk about it when I come, I will come right away." At this point, Feng Hai glanced at me: "At this moment, Mr. Shan mentioned your name." I said "oh", "what's the matter with me?" From the conversation between Shan Si and Qi Bai, it was obvious that they were negotiating a deal to rob and excavate ancient tombs.I'm not interested in robbing ancient tombs at all. I don't know why the two of them mentioned me in their conversation. Feng Haidao: "I said a few more words over there. Mr. Shan said: 'Why did you tell Wesley? He...'" When Feng Hai spoke up to this point, his expression became a little hesitant. I don't know why he stopped suddenly, but Bai Su had already said: "It doesn't matter, it's not you who said it, just make it clear." Feng Hai then said: "Mr. Shan said: 'Why did you tell Wesley, he knows nothing.'" I snorted, Shan Sizhen is unreasonable, dare to criticize me like this behind my back.Feng Hai continued: "The other party talked for a long time this time, and Mr. Shan's expression was very disapproving at first, but then he became more and more excited: 'Okay, it's up to you, but I still insist that I will talk about it when I come. Well, it’s up to you, I’ll come right away, right away.’ Mr. Shan said, ‘I’ll come right away’, and it really was right away, and as soon as he put down the phone, he only said one sentence.” When Feng Hai said this, he pointed to a servant: "He heard it too." I said, "What are you talking about?" Feng Haidao: "Mr. Shan said: 'Prepare the car immediately and take me to the airport.' As he spoke, he jumped and ran out of the cellar to the gate, urging the driver to drive quickly. Because of Mr. Wei’s strange behavior, he hurriedly got into the car, bought a ticket for him, went through formalities at the airport, and sent him to the plane. Before boarding the plane, he told me and mentioned Mr. Wei’s name.” When he said this, he hesitated again. I already knew that Shan Si must have no good words, so I pretended to be generous: "Just say that Shan Si is a strange ass. No matter what comes out of his mouth, I will treat him as farting." Feng Hai tried his best to hold back his laughter, and put on a serious expression: "Mr. Shan said: 'A Hai, listen, after I leave, someone may come to see me, this person is Wesley, he is absolutely A strange donkey, but if he comes, you have to treat him as the master, no matter what he wants to do, you have to obey him, even if he wants to set fire to the house, you have to help him set the fire!'” Feng Hai's narration came to an end, he looked at me, I was also puzzled, I don't know why Shan Si would have such an order.Looking at Bai Su, Bai Su also frowned, obviously she didn't have a clue in her heart. I sat down, waved and said, "Go and do your own work first, and I'll call you later if I have something to ask you." Feng Hai agreed loudly, and ordered the male and female servants to leave, while he himself retreated to a corner of the living room, standing respectfully with his hands down.I know that the last few generations of the Shan family have served as high officials. The family has a grand pomp, and the housekeeper stands respectfully, which is their family's custom.Anyway, there is nothing worth hiding about what Bai Su and I want to discuss, so I will let him go. I said to Bai Su: "It seems that Qi Bai sent me a telegram before talking to Shan Si on the phone." Bai Su said "hmm": "It's possible that Qi Bai must have mentioned you, and Shan Si would say that you don't understand something, but Qi Bai has already notified you that he has something to give to you, so Shan Si had no choice but to give it to you." Say 'up to you'. That's why they mentioned you." I said: "Hmph, I think Shan Sicai doesn't understand anything, and Qi Bai sent me the tape just because I understand." Bai Su smiled and said, "Don't put gold on your face, you don't know what the tape sent by Qi Bai is." I was a little annoyed: "At least, Shan Si knew that if I received Qi Bai's things, he might come to him, so he ordered Feng Hai." Bai Su shook his head and said: "It's not that simple, there must be something we don't understand. Shan Silin's instructions before boarding the plane are very strange, I don't know why." I agreed with Bai Su's words and added: "From Shan Si's answer, Qi Bai made some amazing discoveries in Egypt. The only thing that can connect Qi Bai and Shan Si is the ancient tomb. I think Qi Bai Bai must have discovered an extremely secretive but extremely great ancient tomb." Bai Su said: "It's possible, this is the reason that attracts Shan Si to set off immediately without delaying for a second." I walked back and forth a few steps: "It's been two months since I just thought about it. Could it be that I've been in the ancient tomb?" Bai Su said: "Not necessarily. I'm afraid there will be twists and turns. He suddenly appeared, so we know that there must have been some unhappiness between him and Qi Bai. Qi Bai didn't give it to him when he found something in the ancient tomb. I hand it over to you." I said loudly, "Qi Bai didn't give me anything." Bai Su made a gesture: "At least, Shan Si thought that he handed it over to you, and he came to get it from you, so we know there are twists and turns between him and Qi Bai." I smiled wryly: "We're guessing here, where did he go? Since he's back, he's going to go home." Bai Su looked at Feng Hai, Feng Hai hurriedly straightened up. Bai Su said: "Mr. Shan has already returned. He may have had some accidents, so he hasn't returned home yet. You send people to find him as much as possible." Feng Hai agreed loudly, and immediately walked out. We could also hear his voice ordering people loudly in the living room.I strolled to several display cabinets to see all kinds of exquisite products in the cabinets. Those exquisite products are all things that museums and collectors in the world dream of. Looking at these antiques, it is not difficult to pass the time. I only saw Feng Hai rushing in and out, but after an hour passed, it was already dark, and Shan Si still did not appear. I was already very impatient, Feng Hai came over and said respectfully: "Dinner is ready, please have dinner first." I felt a little hungry, so I nodded, and went to the restaurant with Bai Su, thinking about this guy, the tableware he usually uses for eating is all Kangxi colorful, and I don’t know which ancient tomb he dug out. A complete set of Kangxi colorful tableware comes. After dinner, I checked that it was getting late, and discussed it with Bai Su, why don't we talk about it when we go back, so I told Feng Hai that as soon as Shan Si appeared, he would notify me immediately.In order to be afraid that Shan Si would not dare to meet me, I also said "I don't care about everything". When I got home, the wound made me feel uncomfortable. I fell asleep on the forest, and Bai Su was busy tidying up the study room for me. I was in a daze, and just about to fall asleep, Bai Su walked in suddenly: " Are you asleep? Look, what is this?" I opened my eyes and saw Bai Su standing in front of the bed, her hands seemed to be holding something, but for a while, I couldn't see her holding something.I sat up and immediately knew why Bai Su was clearly holding something, but I had the illusion that she wasn't holding anything.It turned out that she was holding a glass box in her hand, which was so transparent that it didn't even have a side, so she had an illusion when she was sleepy. I rubbed my eyes: "A glass box? Where did it come from?" Bai Su said: "Look clearly, it's not a glass box." I was stunned again, it was not a glass box, but a whole piece of glass, no wonder Bai Su was holding it with both hands just now, it looked very heavy. I picked up this piece of glass, it is quite heavy, it is a whole piece of completely solid glass, extremely crystal clear, without any air bubbles.It is rare to see such a large piece of glass made so completely. This piece of glass, approximately twenty centimeters by twenty centimeters by thirty centimeters, is a cube.Saying "a piece of glass" may lead to misunderstanding, saying "a large glass block" is more conceptual. I asked again: "Where did this glass come from?" Bai Su said: "In your study room, under a pile of books, books fell down from the shelf. I saw it when I was tidying it up." I shook my head: "I've never seen this piece of glass before." Bai Su said: "It's weird, I've never seen it before, so I brought it for you to see, where did it come from?" I said: "I don't know where a piece of glass came from. It's not worth using your brain to study it. Maybe when someone came to see me, they left it and forgot to take it away. Maybe it's a single thought." Bai Su raised his eyebrows: "When Shan Si came in, did you bring this piece of glass with you? Didn't you notice? This piece of glass is not small, and it's also very heavy." I spread my hands: "Really, I was negligent, because Shan Si looked weird, so I didn't pay attention to whether he was wearing anything." Bai Su glanced at me, then looked at the piece of glass again: "Glass is a very strange thing!" I don't understand what Bai Su means by that.There are many seemingly ordinary but very strange things in the world.Glass, however, is out of the picture.Glass, really, is a very common thing. I smiled: "Where is the blame?" Bai Su pointed to the piece of glass: "Of all the substances on earth, light can pass through completely, only glass." I still didn't understand what she wanted to express, so I just responded casually: "So, the glass looks transparent; but in fact, the glass doesn't let the light pass through without reservation, it refracts the light, like this piece of glass." Those with pure crystal quality are rare.” Bai Su nodded, expressing her agreement with my statement, she paused for a moment, and then said: "Just now I said that the glass is strange, because I thought that it can't hide secrets, if there are any secrets in the glass, you can definitely see it." I laughed and said, "Of course, it's transparent." Bai Su shook her head vigorously, as if she didn't even understand why she suddenly made such a comment on glass.I said: "When you see Shan Si, you should ask him why he acts so strangely. You should also ask him if he left this piece of glass behind." Bai Su took the piece of glass from the bed and put it on a shelf.Such square and pure glass is a very unique decoration. After she put it away, she stepped back a step or two, as if appreciating it, and then she said: "Shan Si's strange behavior must have something to do with Qi Bai." I said "hmm": "Qi Bai's weird behavior is related to the tape he sent me." Bai Su turned around abruptly and waved his hand: "By the way, the matter must also be related to the 'virus'. The three of them once met at the residence of the Egyptian virus." I was very excited. Originally, there was no clue about the whole matter, but now I found a clue: "Qi Bai is in a weird place──It's probably an ancient tomb. I found something. What Shan Si was looking for was that And Qi Bai entered the ancient tomb, it was the virus that told him to go, and it was clearly mentioned in the tape he sent." Bai Su said: "So——" After Bai Su said two words, I interrupted her: "So, if we really want to find the root cause, we can find the virus." Bai Su nodded, and I walked back and forth a few steps, then shook my head and said, "Forget it. I think it's just that the two grave robbers didn't share the spoils evenly. It's not a big deal. It's not worth traveling thousands of miles to find an old man who is over ninety years old." .” Bai Su made a look of nothing to do, and didn't express any opinion.Just then, the phone rang.I picked up the phone, and there came a very urgent voice: "Mr. Wesley?" As soon as I heard it, I knew it was Huang Tang. Huang Tang was panting: "Mr. Wei, a man named Shan Si must see you." I immediately said, "Shan Si, where is he?" Huang Tang sighed: "He's on the roof of a building." I frowned, Shan Si is really a weird person, what did she do on the roof of a building?At this time, I hadn't thought about why Shan Si would work so hard on the roof of a building that Huang Tang, a senior police officer, would call me. I hurriedly said: "Okay, which building is it? Tell me quickly, I'm also waiting to see this person." Huang Tang told me the name of the building, and after I heard it, I couldn't help being stunned. It was the tallest building in the downtown area, and Shan Si's actions were too weird! I just said "I'll be right there" and hung up the phone.I glanced at Bai Su, who lazily shook his head. Thirty minutes later, I drove the car and approached the building. I already felt that something was wrong. Many police officers were maintaining order, and many people gathered by the roadside, and everyone looked up.As we got closer, we saw several fire trucks. When I got closer, two police officers came over: "God, if you don't come, Director Huang will swallow us." Huang Tang's subordinates surrounded me and boarded the elevator. No matter how fast the elevator is in an eighty-storey building, it still takes quite some time. what?" A police officer said angrily: "I'm going to commit suicide." I couldn't help reaching out and hitting myself on the head. I was on the roof of the building and wanted to jump off, so I attracted so many people to look up, causing traffic jams.When the elevator reached the top floor, I rushed out, went up another flight of stairs, and saw the door leading to the rooftop. Huang Tang was standing not far from the door, I called him, he turned his head and said loudly: "Okay, you are here." He turned his head and called again: "Wesley is here." When he called the next sentence, I had already walked through the door, reached the rooftop, and saw who he was saying this sentence to.He was talking to Shan Si, and Shan Si, this guy, was standing on the wall of the rooftop. The wall of the roof is only one meter high and about thirty centimeters wide. Shan Si just stood on it, facing the outside of the wall.The building was very tall, and the wind was quite strong, which made everyone's hair messy, and Shan Si was no exception. The messy hair was hanging on his forehead. Judging from his appearance, he could fall straight down at any time. There are many police officers on the roof, but they dare not get too close to Shan Si. Only at the foot of the fence, there are two police officers lying down to prevent Shan Si from seeing them.When I saw this situation, I was startled and angry, and immediately shouted: "Shansi, what the hell are you doing? Come down quickly." When I called out Shan Sijing, I half turned around on the wall.His action was extremely dangerous. I heard several police officers involuntarily breathing loudly. He looked at me, and at the same time, stretched out his hand to me: "Don't get too close, or I'll jump down." I was even more surprised and angry: "I am Wesley." Shan Si said: "Of course you are---stop." His two words "stop" were uttered in an extremely mournful voice, which made people shudder. Shan Si saw that I stopped in my tracks, with a strange expression on my face. It seemed that I was in a situation of extreme panic and anger, but felt very ridiculous. Originally, those were two completely opposite emotions, but at this time, he must really have such feelings, otherwise, he would never have shown such an expression. Although I felt weird in my heart, I didn't have time to delve into it, and wanted to get him out of danger first.I tried to make my voice sound relaxed: "Shan Si, what the hell are you doing? What's the fun in that, come down quickly." Shan Si didn't answer me immediately, but panted rapidly.I touched the back of the head which was still bandaged, and said, "Are you afraid that I will retaliate against you? To be honest, I didn't suffer any injuries, and I won't punch your head through, so don't worry." Hearing what I said, Shan Si showed a very bitter smile and gasped for breath: "Tell all the policemen to go away, don't keep any of them, just go away." At this time, Huang Tang was right behind me, and let out an angry muffled sound.Suddenly, Shan Si yelled again at the top of his lungs: "Did you hear that? All the policemen, go away." I turned around and made a gesture to Huang Tang. Huang Tang was very reluctant, so I lowered my voice: "It's really hard to explain if I jumped because the police refused to retreat." Huang Tang waved his hand and gave the order to retreat, within a minute, there was no police officer on the rooftop. Huang Tang finally backed out, and he closed the iron door with a "bang" sound. I collected myself and made my voice sound as if nothing had happened: "Okay, what's the matter? What exactly is it?" Shan Si said, "They want to kill me." After all the police personnel retreated, Shan Si was still standing on the wall of the rooftop, crumbling and dangerous.When I heard him say that, I couldn't help but startled suddenly. Someone is going to kill him?Such a nonsensical sentence really doesn't explain anything. I gestured: "Someone killed you? Who? Come down and talk about it, okay?" As I spoke, I stared straight at Shan Si, and saw that he showed a hesitant expression, as if he couldn't decide whether to come down or not to come down.And then, he shook his head and refused my request. If I wasn't afraid of him falling, I couldn't bear the anger in my heart: "You stand on the top, if you fall, then you don't have to wait for someone to kill you." Shan Si panted heavily: "I would rather fall to my death than fall into their hands." I was even more angry, and said loudly: "Then, what exactly are you looking for me for?" Shan Si's voice became very urgent: "I just ask you one question, one question." I sneered and said, "Quickly ask." Shan Si said: "Qi Bai, Qi Bai really didn't give you anything? Really?" I was angry and funny at the same time. In an instant, my thoughts changed, and I thought that no matter what, I must first make him safe. In fact, Qi Bai only sent me two tapes with inexplicable voices, nothing else at all. Shan Si was on the verge of life and death at this time, but he still couldn't forget Qi Bai's stuff, so it can be seen that it must be very important, and he must want it very much.In such a situation, I can take advantage of this and first drop him from the wall of the rooftop, so that he is out of danger. I immediately put on a helpless expression: "Oh, it's because of that thing. Okay, I admit, Qi Bai gave it to me, and if you want it, I'll give it to you." I say it like it's true.I believe that Shansi will tell me to lie. Anyone who speculates about the next development must be Shansi who came to me and asked me for that thing. However, what happened next was not like that at all. After Shan Si heard it, he burst out laughing. The kind of laughter he made can only be described by the word "miserable smile".He only laughed a few times before stopping abruptly. Shan Si said: "Okay, that's good, in your hands, it won't be snatched away. Wesley, this is extremely important, so important that you can't imagine—" He spoke in a hurry, it was not easy to hear clearly, and what he said was completely illogical.Contradictory, I really don't know what he wants to express. And he was panting, and continued to say: "Don't tell anyone, never tell anyone. Otherwise, you will be killed, just like Qi Bai and me." When he said this, he suddenly took a deep breath: "Qi Bai is dead, I believe he is dead." I saw that he didn't intend to come down from the fence wall of the roof, and he was anxious and angry at the same time, so he couldn't help shouting: "If you have so much to say, come down and talk, okay?" Shan Si gestured to me and said, "There won't be much to talk about. Wesley, Qi Bai and I...Qi Bai and I...we..." He suddenly laughed, "What have we done, you must Never guess." Under such circumstances, I don't have the mood to guess.I said loudly: "You and Qi Bai are together, what good things can you do? In my opinion, besides tomb robbery, it is tomb robbery." Shan Si said: "Yes, it's a tomb robbery, but what kind of tomb we robbed, I'm afraid you won't be able to figure out what kind of tomb we robbed." When he said this, he felt that there was a difficult problem that could stump me, and he laughed like a naughty boy who succeeded in playing a prank. At this point, I couldn't bear it any longer. I wanted to rush up and slap him twice, but I cursed him loudly first: "Go to hell." Who knew Shansi stopped laughing after hearing this, "Yes, I should die."
