Chapter 2673: Chapter 2674: Clues
A few seconds later, the surroundings gradually fell silent.
The three of them stood up; Lin Yi’s voice was deep, and the surroundings were pitch black, with not a glimmer of light.
To avoid any accidents, all three turned off their phones.
In such an environment, even with the best night vision, they couldn’t see anything.
However, this was not an absolute barrier; by relying on their hearing, they could still discern the location of sounds.
Ensuring safety, Lin Yi quickened his pace in searching!
However, what made them uneasy was that there was no sound around; it was as if those people had disappeared into thin air.
This led Lin Yi to conclude that they might be nearby.
In such an environment and within such a short period, it was unlikely they could have gone far.
Suddenly!
Lin Yi noticed a strange smell wafting through the air.
"Damn! Run!"
Zhao Yunhu and Zhang Chaoyue also sensed something was wrong; it was the smell of gasoline!
The three of them decisively ran in the opposite direction.
Soon, they saw bright flames, like fiery serpents, surging from behind them.
"Our room is here!"
By the light of the phone, Zhang Chaoyue saw the mark he left on the wall.
The three of them took advantage of the momentum and hid inside.
Outside, the fiery serpents continued to spread, and even though they hid in the bronze room, they couldn’t consider themselves safe.
"Use dirt to block the doorway!"
The three of them immediately started to act, pushing the collapsed soil from the well to the doorway to prevent the fire from spreading.
"These people are ruthless enough, using even this method to block the way."
"It’s not their own stuff; they don’t care about destroying it."
"Damn it."
"Boss! How are you guys!"
Hearing the sound below, Luo Qi called out loudly from above.
"We’re fine; we’re coming up now."
With that, Lin Yi gave the two of them a look, "There’s no value in further investigation, let’s go up."
"Boss, you go first."
"Stop the nonsense, just get up quickly."
The two climbed the rope sheepishly, but the space in the well was too small to use their strength, so they could only rely on Luo Qi to pull them up.
But this kind of thing was nothing to Luo Qi.
As long as the rope could hold, pulling up two people in one breath was no problem.
A dozen minutes later, all three climbed out of the well.
Seeing the light again, it felt indescribably good.
"Boss, what’s it like inside?"
"It’s a bronze tomb, and it’s not human," Lin Yi said:
"Also, we ran into another group of tomb robbers, likely William’s people."
"Them?"
"That rich businessman, Apna, said William sent people to rob the tomb, it must have been them."
"It’s been so long, they’re probably long gone; catching them might be impossible," Zhao Yunhu grumbled.
"Don’t say that, there should still be clues left here."
"Huh?"
The three looked at Lin Yi, not understanding what he meant.
"The underground bronze tomb should be about 150 meters in diameter. Look around; within several hundred meters, where would be suitable for digging a theft tunnel?"
"Several hundred meters..."
The three of them simultaneously turned their heads, looking toward the nearby Green Mountain Resort.
"Damn it, so that’s the problem," Luo Qi cursed.
"Let’s go now, before wasting more time."
The four of them got into the car, intending to deal with the immediate situation, discussing what to do next.
Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of Green Mountain Resort.
The four strolled in as if nothing had happened, just like before.
The middle-aged boss was sitting in the restaurant smoking; seeing Lin Yi and the others come in, he immediately smiled.
"Hey, came to support us again?"
"Not here for fish this time, just to chat with you."
"Chat?" The middle-aged boss was a bit surprised, "What’s up?"
Lin Yi nodded, "This isn’t the place to talk; let’s find somewhere private."
Instinctively, the middle-aged boss’s eyes darted around as he feigned calm, saying:
"Sorry, I have other things to attend to, might not have time to chat, gotta go."
He said this and turned to leave, but Lin Yi grabbed his arm.
"At this point, no need to leave."
"Wha-what do you want, grabbing me like this."
"Of course, there’s something to discuss," Lin Yi said in a low voice:
"You’d best be honest; it’s for both our benefits, don’t make things difficult."
Ah—
The middle-aged boss let out a scream, his face pale with pain.
Under Lin Yi’s control, the store owner was brought to the open space behind the restaurant.
"Say, what’s your relationship with those tomb robbers."
"I-I don’t know what you’re talking about."
"Don’t know?" Lin Yi said grimly:
"Do you think we have nothing better to do?"
"N-no... that’s not what I meant..."
The middle-aged boss gritted his teeth in pain, "I truly don’t know what you’re talking about..."
"Too much talking."
Lin Yi impatiently flicked his ear, then took out Zhang Chaoyue’s gun and aimed it at the store owner’s head.
Subsequently, he also showed his credentials.
"See this, killing is not illegal; you have three seconds to think."
The store owner was stunned, his mind went blank.
He initially thought these were just ordinary tomb robbers but didn’t expect they were officials!
"No, please, I’ll talk."
The store owner, terrified, stammered:
"I-I started by dealing in antiques, previously did some tomb robbing, then those people approached me, saying there’s a tomb here and asked me to cooperate, offered me 200,000, and I agreed."
"How to cooperate."
"They said my place is lower, so they dug the theft tunnel inside, saying it was for concealment," the store owner stammered,
"I agreed without thinking."
"Just 200,000, and you agreed to such a deal?" Lin Yi said grimly:
"Do you know, with what you’ve done, you could get a minimum of 20 years."
"I-I was possessed by a ghost," the store owner said:
"I was thinking, once they leave, the theft hole would remain, and I could scavenge and still make a lot, so I agreed."
After thinking for a few seconds, Lin Yi felt like this fit their style.
"Did they just leave?"
"They left quite a while ago, seemed in a hurry."
Lin Yi furrowed his brow, saying:
"Call the relevant departments to strictly check foreign nationals exiting the country."
"Yes!"
Lin Yi’s face was solemn, silent for a long time.
He didn’t know if this method would work.
But as long as it could slow them down, it would be a success.
