“That’s it, what does this mean?”

Atop the hill, the sun was blazing, and a few beads of sweat formed on Shen Qianqian’s forehead.

Lin Chuan took cover behind a small tree, and then raised his hand to point to a location about a kilometer away from the construction site pit. It was also a relatively flat depression, but much more secluded.

“That should be where the tomb is located.”

“How did you figure that out?” Shen Qianqian, once again, felt a trace of amazement towards the young man she had known for quite some time.

He always brought her something different.

“Seeking the dragon to divide the gold, observing how the mountains entwine, each twist is a barrier, eight dangerous gates as if in a bagua formation—doors must follow the eight trigrams,” Lin Chuan recited cryptically.

“Pretty good at bluffing.”

Shen Qianqian raised an eyebrow and smiled, saying.

“Actually, I’m not entirely certain now, we’ll have to go down and see.”

Lin Chuan also smiled, “Let’s go, it’s too hot up here, I’m about to sweat to death.”

“Okay.”

Shen Qianqian wiped the sweat from her forehead and followed Lin Chuan down the hill, back to the construction site pit they had come from.

“You’re back, did you find anything?” Qin Sisi asked with a smile.

Shen Qianqian leaned closer to Qin Sisi and laughed, “We did find something indeed.”

A look of surprise appeared on Qin Sisi’s face, “What did you find?”

Shen Qianqian looked towards Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan raised his hand and pointed, “Over there might be the location of the tomb you’re looking for.”

Hmm?

Qin Sisi frowned even more, her face filled with astonishment.

She glanced at Lin Chuan, then at Shen Qianqian.

Shen Qianqian waved her hand, “Sisi, don’t look at me, I really didn’t know Lin Chuan was into this stuff.”

“Just take it as a reference.”

Lin Chuan touched his nose and chuckled awkwardly.

Qin Sisi stared at Lin Chuan thoughtfully for a while, her mind full of doubts. Wasn’t Lin Chuan just an antique appraiser and a web novel writer?

He went up the hill and then came back claiming he’d found the location of the tomb?

Utterly baffling!

Was he just talking off the cuff, perhaps boasting like he would inflate his word count when writing a web novel, or was he truly confident?

It was unknown.

But.

Since Lin Chuan had spoken, she felt it was best to report to the director and let him make the decision.

At that moment, Director Su Yu was in the pit, conversing with an archaeological expert.

“Director, Lin Chuan says he’s found the location of the tomb,” Qin Sisi ran into the pit, her boots covered in mud.

“He found the tomb’s location?”

Director Su Yu also frowned, raised his head, and looked towards Lin Chuan standing outside the pit.

“Yes, Lin Chuan said it could be a reference for us,” Qin Sisi relayed like a megaphone.

Director Su Yu rested his hand on his chin and muttered, “Old Zhang didn’t mention that Comrade Lin had the expertise to identify tombs when he introduced him to me.”

The Old Zhang he referred to was the police chief, Zhang Biao.

The archaeological expert, Old Lu, interjected, “Director, the Lin Chuan who found the tomb’s location, which one is he?”

“He’s a young man, quite promising, has solved many cases,” Director Su Yu answered, then added, “all of them major cases.”

The expression on the archaeological expert Old Lu’s face grew sterner, “Archaeology is different from solving cases, they’re entirely different things.”

“That’s my thought as well.”

Director Su Yu glanced at the archaeological expert Old Lu and asked, “Have you found the location of the tomb?”

Old Lu’s eyes shifted evasively, his complexion became awkward, and he answered hesitantly, “Not… not yet, but soon.”

“How soon is soon?” Director Su Yu asked.

“Should be about three days,” the archaeological expert Old Lu twitched his mouth, giving a timeframe.

“Three days is too long; I can’t withstand the pressure,” Director Su Yu sighed.

This was the planned site for the Anling New District, tied to the economic development of Anling City, but the emergence of Western Han Dynasty bronze artifacts had halted the construction of the intended shopping center.

There had to be both cultural preservation and economic development.

Both were indispensable.

The pressure to accelerate the excavation of the tomb naturally fell on Director Su Yu’s shoulders.

But now, even the location of the tomb had not been determined.

Indeed, the progress was much slower than expected.

“With our current equipment, three days is the fastest possible,” the archaeological expert Old Lu said with a troubled expression.

“How about this, we first check out the place that Comrade Lin Chuan mentioned; it won’t interfere with the progress here anyway,” Qin Sisi interjected to steer the direction of the conversation back.

‘Economic development,’ ‘new district,’ that was beyond her considerations.

All she wanted to know was where the tomb was.

And then dig, dig, dig.

Cough, conduct a protective excavation!

“All right, we might as well treat it as a hail Mary; let’s go check if Comrade Lin’s judgement is accurate,” Director Su Yu agreed with a nod.

Qin Sisi quickly packed two sets of archaeological excavation tools, skillfully assembling them.

Then, she headed out of the pit to meet with Lin Chuan and Shen Qianqian.

“Comrade Lin, I heard from Sisi that you’ve located the tomb,” Director Su Yu, holding Lin Chuan’s hand with a smile on his face, inquired.

Lin Chuan smiled and replied, “I observed the mountain ranges and the position surrounded by hills, it’s most likely there.”
