"Juice, thank you." Gu Ming turned around and smiled at the pretty flight attendant.

  The flight attendant handed the juice to Gu Mian, and then handed over the white water that Qin Sheng wanted. She looked at Qin Sheng with a hint of appreciation in her eyes, and even slowed down her pace when she left.

  Gu Mei saw him lower his head and purse his lips in a smile, and indeed Qin Sheng could attract the attention of the opposite sex wherever he went. Earlier during the security check, she dared to bet that the female comrade who was responsible for checking Qin Sheng hadn't secretly pinched his waist.

  Qin Sheng seemed to have noticed Gu Mian's stifled smile and slightly turned his head to glance at Gu Mian.

  Gu Mei hastily picked up the juice and started drinking, using this as an excuse to cover up her previous action.

  "Didn't sleep last night?" Qin Sheng asked as he saw that Gu Mian didn't fall asleep like the previous time they went to Japan.

  "It doesn't matter anyway, there are only a few hours left. I slept early last night and won't sleep today." Gu Mian put down the juice and released the safety belt on her body.

  The plane has entered the troposphere and is now very stable. Many passengers have unfastened their seatbelts.

  "Before we set off, Mr. Qiao had already received the notice that another team who was supposed to meet up with us has arrived in Shaanxi. Once we get off the plane, we can see each other." Qin Sheng said in a low voice.

  Gu Meng nodded and immediately asked: "Do you know what kind of people they are?"

  She learned from Qin Sheng's mouth that this private investigation team was actually divided into two small teams. One was led by Mr. Qiao, consisting of Gu Mei, Qin Sheng, Gao Wei, Mr. Qiao and some other auxiliary personnel. The other team was led by others, but Gu Mei was not clear who they were.

  She also found it strange that although it was clearly an inspection team, two leaders had been assigned. This would lead to confusion when important decisions needed to be made and whose opinion should be followed.

  She believed that Mr. Qiao and Qin Sheng must have thought of this, but neither of the two said anything about it, nor did she dare to ask too much.

  Actually, at the beginning, Gu Mei didn't think that Qin Sheng would also participate, after all, he wasn't a professional archaeological appraiser. However, she couldn't deny that when she found out Qin Sheng was going to Shaanxi with her, for an instant, she did feel happy because among the people on the trip, apart from Mr. Qiao, she had another acquaintance, and it was someone she thought was relatively reliable.

  Gu Mei was just a young girl in her early twenties. For the first time, she went out to work with many unfamiliar people without the care of close relatives, which made her feel somewhat uneasy. Fortunately, Qin Sheng's joining reduced her unease a lot.

  "The leader on that side is called Yang Lin, and he's about the same age as Mr. Qiao. He brought three people with him: Lin Hai, Zhang Jing, and Jiang Liang. None of them are very old. Lin Hai and Jiang Liang are in their thirties, while Zhang Jing is two years older than you, so she's 25 this year." Qin Sheng slowly recounted what he had learned.

  Gu Mei couldn't help but feel a little surprised, she thought the other party would also bring many people. As it turned out, there were only 4 people in total on the other side, which was far beyond her expectation.

  The main people on their side are her, Qin Sheng, Gao Wei and Mr. Qiao. Gao Wei looks like he's thirty-five or six years old. According to Qin Sheng, Gao Wei is also a relatively powerful person in the circle, but he is more focused on practical archaeology rather than academic research. For more than half of the year, he runs around all over the world.

  Gao Wei was indeed a man who had been on the outside for many years, his skin presented a dark and shiny complexion that people who stayed outdoors for a long time had, his figure also looked very solid, and he also looked very calm. Since meeting each other, except for introducing themselves briefly, they rarely spoke to each other, even when they did need to talk, most of the time it was with Mr. Qiao.

  As for the remaining people, according to Qin Sheng's explanation, they are just doing some miscellaneous work, such as running errands and making connections. However, if they need to go somewhere for in-depth investigation, those people usually won't follow along.

  It turns out that the number of people on their side and Yang Lin's side seems to be even.

  "What does Yang Lin do, and what about those people following him?" Gu Mian asked curiously.

  Qin Sheng paused for a moment, his eyes scanning the surroundings lightly to make sure no one was paying attention to him and Gu Mian. Only then did he lean in slightly towards Gu Mian and lower his voice: "From what I know, Yang Lin's ancestors were quite famous as local scholars, but by the time of Yang Lin's father, he had turned over a new leaf. Yang Lin basically inherited his father's profession, but it seems like there's something fishy going on behind the scenes."

  "So, Yang Lin is very likely to be... a tomb raider?" Gu Ming asked in a softer tone.

  Tóu fū zǐ, generally refers to the term used in Hunan province for grave robbers.

  Don't underestimate these non-technical graduates of the local husbandry school. Experienced local husbands can be said to be experts in soil layers. They can analyze and conclude whether there is a tomb in a certain place or not.

  Qin Sheng said that the transfer to formal employment refers to the fact that after the establishment of New Tian Chao, in view of the excellent skills of these "native sons", the then Wen Guan Hui hired some outstanding individuals as excavation workers.

  Their "earth" method brought great convenience to archaeological excavation work and was called "earth expert". Moreover, due to the special nature of the tomb robbers, many tombs were stolen by them. With their help, it is possible to avoid taking many detours during archaeological excavations.

  The Tianchao and Zha'an people actually have a subtle relationship, sometimes they need the help of these "native experts", but sometimes they also need to guard against these "native experts".

  It's not hard to see from Qin Sheng's words that Yang Lin is probably one of them in this subtle relationship.

  Since Yang Lin is this kind of person, then the other three people he leads are more than half related to this aspect.

  No wonder they had to be divided into two teams, the difference between Xue Lao's formal disciples, who are internationally renowned appraisal masters, and the "native experts" with a subtle relationship with the Heavenly Dynasty, is not just a little bit.

  "I'm not sure if it's really tomb raiding or not, but generally private excavation teams will invite people like Yang Lin. Just know that, don't be too surprised." Qin Sheng whispered.

  "I know." Gu Mian nodded.

  I don't know who arranged the seating, but not only were Gu Mian and Qin Sheng seated together, they were also separated from other colleagues by several rows, with Mr. Qiao being five rows away from them.

  However, this also made it convenient for Gu Mian and Qin Sheng, as they didn't have to worry about some of their conversation being overheard by colleagues.

  Afterwards, Qin Sheng told Gu Mei about the general characteristics of Yang Lin and others, as well as some details, which made Gu Mei slightly surprised.

  Even if Qin Sheng had known the identities of Yang Lin and his men in advance, he shouldn't have been able to gather so much information about them in such a short period of time. He's not a simple character after all.

  Finally, Gu Ming couldn't help but ask Qin Sheng, "I want to ask you a question, can you tell me why you participated in the inspection team?"

  Qin Sheng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled at Gu Bing: "Of course, there is a need to join in, and I think you're not used to going out with someone you don't know very well for the first time. Now that I'm here, I can help you."

  "That's really thanks to you." Gu Mei looked at Qin Sheng with a rather strange expression.

  Qin Sheng's response seemed a bit like he was brushing her off, but when she met his serious gaze, she felt some uncertainty in her heart.

  This couldn't help but remind her of when Qin Sheng had persuaded her to resign and join the inspection team, and he had said something that still made her wonder to this day...

  When chatting with people, time flies quickly. Gu Mei felt that it wasn't long before the plane arrived at its destination.

  After getting off the plane, Mr. Qiao greeted everyone and they all set off together. After leaving the airport, they went straight to the hotel that had been booked in advance.

  This time no one came to pick up the plane, and Mr. Qiao seemed to be familiar with this side as well, without anyone leading the way, he took everyone to the hotel smoothly.

  He called Yang Lin's side as soon as he got off the plane, and Gu Mei couldn't tell from Mr. Qiao's expression what they were talking about on the phone. Anyway, it wasn't until they arrived at the hotel that she found out that Yang Lin and others were not in the same hotel as them.

  Gu Cang had thought that once they arrived at the hotel, she would be able to see Yang Lin and others who were suspected of being grave robbers. After all, grave robbers always worked with appraisers and other experts in the field. She had been following Professor Wang for so long, but she had never actually seen a grave robber before.

  Last time in Taiyuan, she also just heard the sound, but didn't see a single person.

  Recently Shaanxi has been quite lively, the official inspection team has already started working, while Gu Can and his team have just arrived.

  Mr. Qiao didn't seem to be in a hurry either, first letting everyone rest and tidy up at the hotel for a day, while he himself disappeared without a trace, and early the next morning, he took Qin Sheng, Gu Mei, and Gao Wei together to a relatively secluded temporary location.

  Just as mentioned above, archaeological authentication has always been linked to tomb raiders. From the day a new site is discovered, there have never been fewer people selling antiques on this side.

  But like other antique markets, the things here are genuine and fake, and tomb robbers with a way generally do not come to such places, but occasionally there will be small fish and shrimp that leak out, so people who come to such places to dig up treasures are not few.

  As long as they are not caught red-handed, peddlers will not be afraid of the police coming to their door.

  Temporary transaction location, although compared to antique street, the fixed antique stall is much simpler, but there are not many people here, and most of them have a mind to pick up leaks.

  Gu Meng looked at this long-lost lively scene, her left hand moved involuntarily, and a hint of excitement appeared in her eyes.
