Chapter 0250 – Capture

It was very windy today, although there was a half-full moon hanging in the sky. But from time to time, it will be covered by a burst of very low pressure of dark clouds, not to say that it is out of sight, visibility is also very low.

A gust of wind blew through the orchard, the branches of the trees made a “rustling” sound, three silhouettes quickly climbed over the railings on the periphery of the fruit forest and entered the orchard, the shadows of the trees hanging down like ghosts and shadows.

“Shut up!”

A low drink stopped the two wolfdogs that rushed up, the originally vicious wolfdogs surrounded and wagged their tails when they saw Boss Yu, and were driven away by Boss Yu with a wave of his hand.

“Big brother.”

Yu San Province greeted up with the smell of alcohol, his half-black, half-hundred yin and yang face was more like a ghost in the night, and definitely had the effect of stopping a child from crying at night.

They are doing is the hook of the night owls, Yu Laosan has always been sleeping during the day, woke up to drink, after all, this deserted mountains and wilderness left him alone, coupled with not far away from the burial of a few former partners, Yu Laosan bold again, but also need to use the wine to anesthetize their own.

Boss Yu did not talk, his eyes swept the bottle of wine in Yu Laosan’s hand. He raised his hand and slapped Yu Laosan’s face, the tall and big Yu Laosan was actually spun in place by this slap, and when he stood still, half of his cheeks were already swollen.

“Damn, no talent thing, what time is it now, you still dare to drink? I’ll let you go underground to accompany a few brothers of the Cui family if you break things.”

Boss Yu’s vicious words made Yu San Province’s alcohol immediately woke up, didn’t dare to put a single fart, like an elementary school student who was listening to his teacher’s instruction, stood in front of Boss Yu and bowed his head.

“The old rules, San Province you let the wind out up there, Lao Si you go to the edge of the fruit forest, ring the bell if something happens, all put on alert.”

Yu Çu took out two walnut-sized copper bells from the backpack behind him and handed them to the two of them, but the metal copper tongue inside the bells was held by a thin wire and wrapped around the outside of the bells many times, and after receiving the bells, Lao Si and Yu Sanshou skillfully unwrapped the wire that wrapped around the bumping tongue and clutched the bells in their hands, so that they couldn’t emit a clear and crisp sound.

Although there are now walkie-talkies available, but the bell can transmit the sound far away in the silent night, Boss Yu and the others have long been accustomed to using this, after all, in case of any situation, there may not be time to talk on the walkie-talkie at all, it’s not the same with the bell. Throw it on the ground and it will make a ringing sound.

After Boss Yu finished his explanation, he put down the backpack in his hand and took off the worn out clothes he was wearing, revealing a black diving suit that clung to his skin, and took out a mask from his bag and put it over his head, revealing only a pair of eyes on the outside.

Old Eight was also in the same attire, and the clothes they wore were specially made to not stain their bodies with dirt, and to protect their skin from being scratched by debris and other things.

Not only that, in Boss Yu’s backpack, there were also things such as a jackhammer and a gas mask, many of the main pit burial chambers had toxins present in the gases inside due to being closed for a long period of time, Boss Yu had been spying on this Wen Zong’s Tomb for more than a decade, and was quite well prepared.

“Let’s go!”

Boss Yu glanced faintly outside the dark woods and took the lead to enter into the wooden hut that had been built in the middle of the orchard.

This wooden house was about a dozen square meters in size, and in order not to get damp from the earth’s qi, on the floor of the wooden house, a layer of green bricks was laid, and a bamboo bed was placed in the innermost part. There is a table in the center, by the door, but also threw a bunch of bottles, bottles of wine next to a burning stove, just inside the fire has long been extinguished, I do not know how long it has not been used.

Boss Yu squatted down his body, will be the right side of the stove brick by brick to pry up, about pry out more than ten bricks, after the ground actually revealed two grooves, the old eight and Yu Laosan went to the left side of the stove, force will be pushed to the right of the stove.

With a “click” sound, the seemingly fixed on the ground stove, slowly slid out to the right more than a meter away, and the original position, revealing a hole more than a meter wide.

Old Eight didn’t wait for Yu Ku’s command. He took out a miner’s lamp, strapped it to his head, and quickly ducked into the hole. His figure soon vanished underground, and the once dark hole now cast light into the depths ahead.

“Lao San, wait for us to go in and push the stove back.”

Boss Yu’s body was already halfway down, not knowing what he remembered, he drilled out again and instructed Yu Lao San.

“Got it, big brother, you bring this bell down.”

Yu San saved the bell in his hand and handed it to Yu Çu, after seeing Boss Yu go down. Yu Laosan put the thread through a hollow place on the stovetop and tied the thread to the table leg against the ground before pushing the stovetop back into place and prying up the green bricks on the ground one by one and laying them back down.

After all this, Yu Laosan took out a bottle of wine from under the bed, and drank the brisket on the table, not that he was big-hearted, but this work is too much, basically no problems, according to Yu Laosan’s experience, no two hours, they will not come up, sitting stupidly as well as the whole point of a little wine to drink.

In the garden periphery of the Yu Lao Si is not so comfortable, orchard that mosquitoes are nests, he simply can not stay in one place, from time to time with his hand to slap the mosquitoes attached to the body to suck blood.

Liu Jiaxing’s geographical location is relatively remote, the west side of the manor is the mountain, usually in addition to some married out of the girl back to her mother’s home, few people come here.

But today is an exception, not only around the people of the eight villages, even the county have people driving a small car to come, not for anything else, is because Liu Changfa married. This classmates and colleagues came to a large group, the banquet has been set up for a day, and occasionally there will be a car to drive into the Liu family.

In the distance from the Liu family more than two miles away from the roadside, there is an earthen floor, is the kind of mud and grass with water mixed together to build up, after drying, will become very strong, in the old days, and even a lot of people’s houses, are so.

In a hay field behind the earthen building, from five o’clock in the afternoon or so. There was a Santana sedan parked, just hidden under the shadow of the earthen buildings and haystacks, and when it was dark, it was even more hidden in the darkness.

Santana’s front window is open, a bright spot in the night flashes brightly and dimly.

Yu Laoshi only rushed back from Wuhan yesterday, when his own brother was killed in Guangdong, Yu’s grave robber gang immediately scattered to all parts of the country, they have money in their hands, they have residences in different cities, except for Boss Yu, no one else knows about it.

However, in the past half a year or so, Yu Laoshi always felt uneasy, several times in his dreams dreaming of his brother, if not passport and money are in the hands of Yu Boss, he would have long run abroad.

Pull open the car door, Yu Laoqi walked down, will be in the hands of the cigarette stomped under the foot after twisting out, to the haystack to pee, just as he shivered, ready to pull up his pants, behind the ear suddenly came a wind sound, did not wait for Yu Laoqi to react, a pair of large hands, like iron clamps, pinched his neck, and directly pressed him to the haystack in the pee just now.

Not caring about the fishy odor coming from the side of his mouth, Yu Laoqi struggled desperately, and shouted loudly, “What are you doing? What are you guys doing?!”

“Pull over.”

Yu Laoqi’s struggle is futile, a pair of handcuffs quickly handcuffed his hands from behind, and then his body was pulled to the front of the car, and pressed his head to death at the front end of the Santana, a beam of strong light lit up and shone on Yu Laoqi’s face, half-squinting his eyes, Yu Laoqi, his stunned face with a hint of despair.

“Yu Zhenjiang?”

A male voice rang in Yu Lao Qi’s ears, hearing his real name, Yu Lao Qi no longer made a futile struggle, he had also seen clearly by this time. Around him, the public security armed police with loaded guns stood all over, a police car drove over with it.

“Escort him up, conduct a surprise interrogation, and report back to me if there is any situation.”

Chen Zhuo waved his hand, Yu Laoshi was escorted to the police car, naturally there was an old pre-trial to deal with him.

“Criminal brigade, what’s the current situation on the main criminal’s side?” Chen Zhuo asked a middle-aged man in civilian clothes beside him.

“Commissioner Chen, we’ve already arranged for someone to follow them, they just left the village and headed in the direction of the back of the mountain, it’s similar to what we’ve judged, it should be tonight that they make their move.”

The Criminal Brigade was sent by the Shaanxi police to support the arrests of the sister units, and the people who were monitoring Boss Yu’s actions in the village were all under the Criminal Brigade, Chen Zhuo because of the different accents, and in order to be afraid of spooking the snakes, apart from interviewing Prof. Meng once, Chen Zhuo had been commanding remotely from outside of the village.

The hole that Lao Baji made was sloping, and it was more than ten meters high from the ground, about the same as a three-story building. After descending into the hole, Boss Yu loosened the bell in his hand and let it hang vertically at the entrance of the hole.

Tomb passage is about one meter six high, the width is more than two meters, this is in order to place the coffin needed at that time, Boss Yu here must bow his body forward, in the side of the tomb passage, there is actually a drainage tank, according to the analysis of the old eight, this is very likely to be connected to the underground river.

Borrowing the light from the miner’s lamp, Old Eight and Boss Yu walked forward and backward towards the vertical depth of the tomb passage.

Although the top of the robber’s hole that entered the tomb passage was sealed off by Yu Laosan, however, the air in the tomb passage was not dull, having operated here for several long years, Boss Yu could not just excavate boulders anymore, just for the air vents, he let Lao Baji hit three of them, and the entire periphery of the tomb of Wen Zong, had long since been mapped out by Boss Yu.

This tomb passage is twenty-eight meters long, both sides and the top are with stone bricks fit together, tight joints, smooth and flat, so it can be seen that the tomb of Emperor Wenzong will not lose to those who have been unearthed in the tomb of the princes and lords.

In fact, the reign of Emperor Wenzong, have been imprisoned by eunuchs, and is not valued, the original tomb will not have such a scale, but no matter which dynasty, according to the custom, the new emperor will build their own mausoleum as soon as he ascended to the throne, Wenzong nature is no exception.

And in the Emperor Wenzong was eunuchs after the death of seclusion, these eunuchs in order to escape the world’s mouth, to show their own and other people’s innocence, but also to the Emperor Wenzong for the scenery of the big funeral, so Wenzong’s mausoleum is not worse than that of the previous several emperors.

In the hole forward five meters on the ground, laying an alloy made of ladder, Lao Biao and Yu Çu Çu carefully climbed over the ladder, in their bodies below, can be a chain of flap, the first time into this place, the Cui family brothers planted in this place.

After crossing this chain flap, Boss Yu turned back and pulled the ladder over, because there was another place like this in front of them, and if they were not careful, they would fall down.

More than twenty meters away, the two walked for nearly ten minutes before arriving at the door outside the chamber, this is a stone door of alabaster, the door is opposite, respectively, made of a whole piece of alabaster, the match is quite good, the door gap can only be barely inserted into a few millimeters thick blade.

Two doors, left and right each set with a bronze unicorn animal head, the head of the beast strange eyes open, mouth each holding a bronze ring, thousands of years of erosion, has made the ring on the rust stains.

This door, is the last obstacle between the Yu boss and the tomb pit, if not the archaeological team stationed in Liu Jiazhuang, the Yu boss would have opened the door, although there is a stone to block the door, but it can not stop the footsteps of grave robbers.

Tap stone is a simple principle, but cleverly conceived anti-theft settings, to put it more bluntly, tap stone is from the inside to lock the tomb door latch.

But to let the stone door from their own back automatically locked, the ancients still use some brain.

They first stone door shaft of the upper and lower ends of the production into a ball, and in the middle of the two stone door Qi doorway of the same part, carved out a surface protruding groove, and then not far from the axis of the door in the stone paved ground, chiseled out a shallow front after the depth of the groove to.

Before closing the stone door, people first put the stone bar, which has a considerable width, inside the groove on the ground, and slowly let it lean forward, so that it comes into contact with the stone door. When people withdrew from the tomb, the stone bar by its own tilt pressure and the door shaft shaft end “ball” role, automatically push the stone door closed, until its top fell on both shoulders of the stone door in the groove.

At this point, who want to push the stone door from the outside, can only be delusional.

Many friends have been to Beijing’s Ming Dingling Mausoleum, the gate of the Imperial Tomb of the underground palace, there is also a tap stone sealing the door, then in order to enter the underground palace, the archaeologists spent a lot of effort, and finally drew on the ancient tomb robbers used to abduct nails, only to open the door.

The so-called crutch, is a kind of one end has a long handle, the other end of the semi-circular metal, open the tomb door, the crutch from the door into the gap, and then the semi-circular part of the set in the tap stone, the tap stone slowly lift, and at the same time to promote the door, until the tap stone erected on the ground, the tomb door can be completely open.

However, not all want to open the door of the tomb, will be so racking their brains to find ways to crack the mechanism of the stone, 1928 Sun Tingying in the excavation of Cixi Tingdong mausoleum and the Emperor Qianlong’s Yu mausoleum, but also encountered the roadblock of the stone, when the bandits used all the means to fail to open the door of the tomb, can only be used with explosives to blow up the door, when the stone door collapsed, just smashed due to the rise in groundwater and drifted to the door of the tomb equipped with a stone sarcophagus. Qianlong sarcophagus containing the remains of the tomb door.

Later in the excavation of Cixi’s tomb, Sun Tingying was afraid of further damage to the treasures in the tomb, using more than forty people, with a large thick log, the tomb door hard to break open, after the tomb door is opened, the inside of the tap stone was broken into several sections.

Yu boss in the see this tomb door, originally also want to use the opening of the Tingling method to open it, just plan is not as good as change, the old six in guangdong’s failure and the arrival of the archaeological team, so that he did not have time to specialize in customizing that kind of tool, so explosives also became his first choice.

In the stone door from the ground one meter high place, also is the doorway tap stone block door, has been Yu boss chiseled out a fist-sized, about twenty centimeters deep round hole, this is where he is ready to place explosives.

Yu boss can not dare like Sun Tingying tomb raiding that kind of reckless, in a few hundred meters away from here, but there is also a squad of armed police guarding the excavation site, if the movement is too big, then, will certainly alarm them.

Tap stone is generally not very large, Yu boss is trying to use the impact generated by the explosion of explosives, the doorway of the tap stone to break, he used to tomb raiding Ming and Qing dynasty tombs when he used this kind of tactic, in the distance from the ground more than ten meters deep, the movement is not very big.

The light in front of the stone door was a bit dark, Boss Yu took out two fluorescent sticks from his backpack, bent them and threw them to both sides of the stone door, it was suddenly much brighter, Lao Baji stood in front of the door, took out detonators and explosives as well as sealing tapes from his backpack and prepared to fix them at the center of the stone door.

“Old Eight, slow down, our fuse is not long enough, let’s use this!”

Boss Yu suddenly spoke out to stop Old Eight, and after walking over, he included those detonator explosives into his backpack, and put the thing he was holding in his hand like a piece of playdough onto the stone door, and built up pressure into it with force, so that a large portion of it seeped into the cracks of the door.

Old Eight saw Yu Çu hand something, also can not help but backward a few steps, he is recognized this thing, the full name of the C4 plastic explosives, referred to as C4 or plastic bombs, its main ingredient is polyisobutylene, with gunpowder mixed with plastic made of, extremely powerful.

Plastic bomb is a mixture of TNT, semtex and white phosphorus and other high-performance explosive substances, can be crushed into powder, can be randomly packed in rubber material, and then extruded into any shape, if the outer edge of the adhesive material attached to the outside, can be placed in a very hidden parts, like chewing gum as firmly adhered to the top, and therefore known as the brutal “chewing gum Therefore, it is called “cruel chewing gum”.

This kind of plastic bomb is resistant to strong pressure, kneading and even waterproof, in addition to the detonation of a specific fuse, purely high temperature or fire will not let it automatically explode, and will not be like gunpowder bombs, a little bit of impact, it is very easy to hurt themselves.

Yu boss in the hands of this piece of plastic bomb, is his year from the black market in Hong Kong to buy, can easily avoid the X-ray security checks, he brought three years, now only this one left.

After sticking the bomb on the door, Boss Yu took out a small nail-sized metal piece, like the battery inside a watch, and stuffed it into the plastic bomb in the doorway, and then greeted Old Buster, and the two of them retreated backward quickly.

Only after retreating to the bottom of the tomb, Boss Yu stopped, and after putting on a gas mask, he took out a car remote control from his pocket, and Old Bastard glanced at each other, and pressed it fiercely.

“Boom!” A muffled sound came out, the ground under Boss Yu’s feet shook imperceptibly for a few moments, the movement wasn’t very big, I believe that if one wasn’t standing on top of the bursting point, one wouldn’t have felt the vibration of the ground, and even the copper bell hanging next to Boss Yu didn’t ring in alarm.

“It’s done!”

Yu Çu waved his fist excitedly, a greedy look in his eyes, but he didn’t rush forward, but stood quietly in place, waiting for the gas in the chamber to evaporate for a while before he could enter.

Underground Yu Boss will not think, just above his head above the wooden house inside and outside, is already standing full of people, and by his high hopes of the Yu Lao San, this will be like a dead dog, was pressed on the ground.

At this time, Yu Laosan only remembered the words of his own boss, drinking is a mistake! In fact, when Yu Laosi was captured just now, he had already shaken the brass bell, and Yu Laosan also heard the crisp ringing sound and barking of the dog, just that the brain is a little slow after drinking, Yu Laosan didn’t pull the brass bell at the first time, but walked to the door to watch, and was swarmed by the policemen who had already lurked at the door, and was pressed directly to the ground.

The vibration coming from the feet made everyone in the wooden house froze for a moment, while Yu Laosan who was pressed to the ground took the opportunity to break free with force, without even standing up, climbed to the table, and pulled the rope connecting the underground copper bell fiercely.

Although Yu Laosan was immediately subdued, the signal had already been sent out.

“Ding bell, ding bell ……”

The crisp ringing sound echoed endlessly in the tomb passage, and the duo of Yu Boss and Lao Bao, who had already walked to the flap, immediately changed in color and hastily stepped backward.

“Quickly, find the entrance to the robber’s hole.”

Chen Zhuo did not bother to interrogate Yu Laosan, and ordered in a loud voice, although the situation of catching a turtle in a jar had been formed, Chen Zhuo still did not dare to be careless, if the criminals felt that there was no way out, and destroyed the mausoleum heartlessly, then there was no way for him to explain to Prof. Meng.

Following the line connecting the copper bell, the hole under the stove was soon revealed, the dark hole without a trace of light, Chen Zhuo and the others did not dare to go down rashly, because according to the information they have, this grave robbing gang is holding firearms.

Chen Zhuo snatched the loudspeaker from a police officer beside him and shouted loudly at the thieves’ hole, “Listen to the people below, you have been surrounded, put down the hands of the armed ……”

Before the words were finished, a gunshot came from below the thieves’ cave, but this thieves’ cave was in the shape of a slope, yet it was unable to hit the people above.

“Tear gas!”

Chen Zhuo face showed a hint of wrath, at once several armed police stood above the thieves’ hole and fired several tear gas canisters continuously down below, then pulled over the cooler Yu Laosan used to sleep and covered the exit of the thieves’ hole.
