Chapter 43

In front of the camera was a huge workbench.

It was covered with all kinds of tools.

Some were small brushes finer than calligraphy brushes.

Some were lamps emitting a special soft light.

There were also optical microscopes, heat presses, analyzers, constant temperature and humidity cabinets...

And some fine professional equipment that couldn't even be named.

At first glance...

How is this an ordinary bungalow bedroom?

This is clearly a studio with extremely high technical content!

It is a very professional place for maintaining antique cultural relics.

In front of the camera.

The archaeologists at the scene looked at the things on the table.

They introduced them one by one as if they were their own treasures—

"This is for gilding, a tool for applying nitric acid..."

"This copper wire brush is used to dip in soapberry water and apply it to the gilded layer."

"This is a constant temperature and humidity device, a must-have for protecting paper and silk antiques!"

"Professional-grade deoxidizer, can prevent ancient objects from oxidizing..."

"And this low-UV lighting lamp minimizes the lighting damage to the items."

The archaeologists at the scene were shocked.

Looking at the things in front of them.

They even had the illusion of having returned to their own units.

And the archaeologists told the audience.

The price of these things is not cheap.

Some things cost several thousand or even tens of thousands...

Many things cannot be bought even with money; they have to be specially customized at specific places.

In the corner, there were some unknown machines, also equipment for protecting cultural relics and antiques.

The archaeologists checked everything... roughly.

Finally, they roughly arrived at a figure—

1.5 million!

The price of all the equipment in the room added up to at least 1.5 million!

The scene was dead silent.

The criminal police officers of the task force had their expressions changed.

Just the maintenance equipment alone is worth over a million!

What kind of thing is worth such high-standard maintenance?

Plus the fact that Fang Hao had been to Cao Cao's tomb.

And the confession of the tomb-raiding suspect about Fang Hao.

The answer was almost written on paper.

The cheerful atmosphere that had briefly appeared had now vanished without a trace.

The atmosphere at the scene became heavy and serious.

Nine times out of ten...

Those priceless burial objects from Cao Cao's tomb.

Had once appeared on this table!

Everyone turned around slowly.

With unified movements, they turned their heads to look at Fang Hao behind them.

Everyone stared closely at Fang Hao in front of them.

[It's confirmed, damn it!]

[This wave is completely impossible to explain!]

[A person who usually delivers food and works as an electrician definitely can't afford this set of equipment!]

[It's over, he's completely exposed this time!]

[He was too careless! Even if he sent those cultural relics away, this stuff explains a lot!]

[This kind of thing is impossible to explain clearly; it's definitely stuff for maintaining Cao Cao's tomb relics!]

[I want to see how Fang Hao can explain this time!]

The audience had complex expressions.

They put themselves into the role of Fang Hao in front of them.

They didn't know how to explain this wave.

Strictly speaking.

This is basically equivalent to catching a thief with the stolen goods.

"Mr. Fang Hao, please explain."

"Why is there such a series of equipment in your home."

"Given your income level, having a room full of this equipment... isn't it too strange."

Deputy Leader Ding He frowned as he looked at Fang Hao.

He wanted to see how Fang Hao would answer this time.

On the screen.

Fang Hao was still looking ahead with a smile.

His eyes were sincere.

"Uh... it's like this."

"Actually, I am a cultural relic enthusiast and collector."

"These pieces of equipment... were either saved up by me living frugally."

"Or they were passed down to me by my family."

"As a research enthusiast of cultural relics and antiques."

"I think it is quite logical to have such equipment."

Fang Hao replied with a sincere expression.

But obviously.

This kind of reply could not convince the public.

The task force members at the scene were still staring at him fixedly.

"Since you are a research enthusiast of cultural relics and antiques."

"Then why don't you take them out and prove it to us?"

Xu Qiong was also looking at Fang Hao in front of her, continuing to ask.

And just at this moment.

The door to the corridor outside was suddenly opened.

An investigator ran into the room in a hurry, attracting everyone's attention.

In front of the camera.

This investigator's expression was extremely excited.

"Report to Leader Xu and Leader Ding!"

"Through echo location... we have made an amazing discovery."

"This house has a hidden underground empty structure..."

"There is another underground floor below this house!"

"Just now, we found the switch and entrance to the underground floor!"

As soon as this was said.

The live broadcast room exploded instantly.

A hidden underground mechanism!?

Plus this pair of expensive maintenance equipment in front of them.

What is stored underground is...

Hearing the report from this investigator.

The expressions of Xu Qiong and Ding He at the scene changed.

"Quick! Take us there!"

No one expected.

A seemingly ordinary house would have such deep secrets hidden underneath!

At the end of the corridor of this house was a picture frame.

And as the investigator slowly turned the picture frame.

Amidst a mechanical starting sound...

[Missing text/placeholder]

[Missing text/placeholder]

[Missing text/placeholder]

[Missing text/placeholder]

[Missing text/placeholder]

[Missing text/placeholder]

The ground in front of them moved slowly.

The ground separated orderly to both sides, slowly gathering.

In the picture.

A deep staircase leading underground...

Appeared in front of everyone.

The scene was so quiet that only breathing could be heard.

Everyone's expression was extremely excited.

An archaeologist sniffed the air, and their expression changed:

"This smell..."

"This is the unique ancient smell of cultural relics! The things below have been there for a long time!"

The task force members were shocked.

Everyone turned their heads one after another, looking at Fang Hao, whose hands were handcuffed.

Police Officer Ding He looked at him with a gloomy expression and said coldly:

"Mr. Fang Hao, you are now involved in an extremely serious tomb-raiding case!"

"This is an extremely serious criminal act!"

"You can remain silent now."

"But every word you say will become evidence in court."

"Now I hope you can explain what is going on with this basement in front of us..."

"I suggest you tell the truth."

"Otherwise, once you are exposed, you might look very bad."

The scene was quiet.

Everyone looked at Fang Hao in front of them with complex gazes.

This time...

I'm afraid even if a god came, they couldn't save him.
