[Episode 4]
Be careful. Right. Pull it straight.
Pull it straight.
Don't touch it.
Wait a minute! Why are you here?
I heard that there's an archaeological site here, so I came to look.
Little Guy, how could one just simply look at an archaeological site?
But how come a young man like you would be so interested in an archaeological site?
Professor Meng?
You... know me?
I... am a student in Peking University majoring in history. My name is Zhuang Rui.
I like you so much, read a lot of your dissertations, and even attended your grand lecture.
What a coincidence! Never thought that I'll bump into a schoolmate here.
That's right! In a deserted and remote place like this...
Did you especially come here to look at archaeologic sites?
No, I'm here to attend a wedding of my classmate, and then I heard that there's an archaeological site here.
I've always loved history and archaeology.
You... Earlier, you... What did you say your name was?
My name is Zhuang Rui.
Little Zhuang, since you said that you graduated as a history major from Peking University, let me test you.
Come, look at this place.
Whose tomb do you think we're looking for here?
This... There are no emperor tombs recorded to have been buried in Gansu.
Hence, it surely isn't an imperial tomb.
But the interaction between the Central Plains and the Western Region back then would surely involve Gansu.
Based of my analysis, it must be a tomb of a deceased general that died in a battle.
As for what dynasty or which general,
I couldn't guess it anymore.
You are indeed a history graduate of Peking University.
- You didn't bring us shame. - Right.
What we're searching here is indeed a tomb of a great general who made great contributions back then.
But there are so many imperial tombs that haven't been found yet.
How come you have to look for a general tomb first?
In the archaeological world, we aren't actually the ones who choose which tomb to look for.
It's only when a tomb is in danger of destruction that we would urgently try to excavate it.
It's easy to excavate, but to protect it is hard.
Up to now, I still can remember one excavation operation
where so many precious paintings and silk
discolored from oxidation right in front of our eyes.
We could only watch and unable to do anything.
That was really a lingering pain for an archaeologist.
What you mean is the tomb of Qi Yuan has been destroyed?
We still don't know about that. We just received a call from the local archaeological department
that they've discovered a lot of tomb looting holes here.
But until now, we still couldn't locate the tomb.
The important burial chamber should have some gold items
or some valuable bronze equipment.
But after opening up such a huge area, we only found some bronze coins.
Hence, it means that the main tomb of Qi Yuan might not be here.
Why are you so impatient? If we can easily find a tomb just by digging with a shovel,
wouldn't all the tombs in our country already have been looted clean by tomb raiders?
Since we already know that this Qi Yuan's tomb is near Lintao,
and we brought so many modern equipment with us,
so we probably would find it.
Oh, right, Little Guy. Little Zhuang, right?
I can see that you have very firm knowledge on archaeology. If you're really interested in our work,
you can come here to look around if you're usually not doing anything. We welcome you to join us.
Can I really come?
- Sure! But you must prepare yourself. - Yes, you can.
It may look like fun, but it's really very difficult. Can you persist?
No problem.
Professor. There is a police looking for you.
Okay. You two chat first. I'll be right back.
Okay, Professor.
I'm from the batch 2012. What batch are you from?
I'm batch 2011.
Professor Meng, I heard that there are a lot of tomb raiding holes here.
Yes, we indeed found a lot of them.
But after excavating them, we didn't discover any tomb.
But I'm guessing that the tomb is not far from here.
Look.
This one here...
Zhuang Rui?
You also know him? He's from our Peking University. Quite a good chap.
From the pawnshop case, to when I got robbed in Panjiayuan, then here.
He seemed to be following us wherever we are investigating. Don't you find that coincidental?
Sis, could he really be a spy of the tomb robbing organization?
We can't eliminate that possibility.
But, he looks like a very honest man.
The more a person looks like a little lamb, so innocent and unable to cause harm, the more you should guard against him.
Okay. Should we request to arrest him now?
Don't make unnecessary actions, so as not to alarm the enemies. As long as we watch him closely, he'll show his flaws sooner or later.
By then, we just need to follow the vines to the fruit, and find out the shepherd behind him.
Boss, I've reached Gansu. I will soon meet up with Boss Yu.
Okay. Be careful.
Yes.
You couldn't even steal a shattered jade piece. You still have the nerve to tell me that you're a professional?
Brother Mang, in tomb raiding, we're professionals.
But robbery is really not our forte.
So it means, I've looked for the wrong guys.
No! No!
You didn't hire the wrong guys.
Regarding the pawnshop, we indeed foiled that.
But when it comes to tomb looting, we're experts.
Don't worry. I ensure you that we would get the item that you want this time.
There is already an archaeological team sent from Beijing.
When do you guys plan to start?
Two days. At most, two days.
The archaeological team is here. If we bomb the cave now, it would create a huge commotion.
In two days, there would be a wedding in the village. When they start to light the firecrackers, we would bomb the cave.
I ensure you that it would go smoothly.
Also, this time, I hope you guys can act professionally.
Brother Mang, don't worry. We've always been very professionals.
Talk.
Boss Yu has found the exact location of the tomb.
They would be making a move in two days.
If someone would interfere, they would kill them immediately.
I'm not a murderer nor a tomb robber.
No need to tell me these. I only want the jade eye.
Go around west 225 again.
Archaeologists use such advanced technology now?
That's not considered an advanced technology. It's actually a very common equipment now.
GPS and aerial photography equipment can help us do large scale surveillance and investigation.
It greatly decreased the wastage of material and human resources.
But for thousands of years, the topography here has underwent marked changes.
Is the probability of finding the tomb of Qi Yuan high by using those?
if the survey process would always go very smoothly, what then is the point of our work?
Don't rush. Although it's hard, it doesn't mean that it can't be done.
We're now gathering huge information about the unique qualities of this area
so we can find that one doubtful detail.
Look for a doubtful detail?
Print some of the ones over there and I'll take a look at them.
Little Zhuang, when we get some free time, I'll give you some lectures about this.
Teacher, we've been looking for a day and still couldn't find any clues.
At the city outskirt and at the far Gobi desert, there are also no visible signs.
Let that drone rest for a while. Just continue the search later.
Okay.
Little Zhuang, going back to your question earlier.
After thousands of years have passed, the topography here indeed has undergone major changes.
But if one area's topography is totally different from its surrounding,
what do you think is wrong with that?
It means that historically, that place was once excavated.
Correct! Even though everything around us might look casually done and without order, they are actually a deliberate art created by nature itself.
If humans did some changes in this natural world,
it would surely destroy this uniformity and leave some traces behind.
So the aerial photography drone is not really for finding the exact location,
but to search for a doubtful scope of land.
You have great comprehensive skills.
Brother, turn left at the intersection in front.
Hello, Sis, the lamb has left the pen.
Watch him closely. We must find his superior this time.
Okay.
[Yaxuan Pavilion Private Auction]
Look at this bottle.
This handicraft. This shape.
This craftsmanship is really divine.
How were they able to do this that time?
This is a precious object.
This Qing map has such good form.
Is this done well? Child, see if this looks good.
Pretty! Look at that design!
- Hello. - Hello.
Hello.
Hello. Hello.
Hello.
Why is it so noisy?
Are you in some battle?
No. I'm riding a vehicle.
That's a vehicle? Is it a tank?
No, I'm in an old village riding a tractor.
Oh, so you hitched a ride. Fine. That's good.
People here are very nice.
- Yes. Yes. You think everyone is nice. - Right.
What are you saying? It's too noisy.
Your side is the one that's noisy!
What? No, if you have no important thing to say, I'm hanging up.
I'm in a private auction.
What did you say? Private auction?
Right.
Uncle De told me to come here to observe and learn.
You earned a lot for us.
I can't drag you down, right?
Don't. Don't. You mustn't spend on impulse.
Don't worry. I surely will remember the words of Uncle De.
Listen and look more. Just look around but don't buy.
No problem.
What's going on here?
What's wrong with you, Young Lad?!
That's several hundred of thousands!
No, it's not me.
I saw you bumping into it.
So clumsy. This is such a waste.
- It wasn't me. It wasn't me. - This is very expensive.
Thank you, Brother. You're so nice.
The land has been touched.
Hello, Professor Meng.
Little Bro, it's you.
Never thought that we'll meet again this soon.
Little Huang, right?
Huangfu Yun, my surname is Huangfu.
Sorry. Sorry for being disrespectful.
So your old ancestor is an imperial tutor of Western Zhou.
Really?
Looks like you don't even know your ancestors.
No, I know.
It's just that I didn't know that he's that prestigious.
Okay. Let's cut with the nonsense. Little Child,
Great Huangbu, this item was shattered by you, right? Do you admit?
No, Boss Qian, it's like this.
I think I'm not really greatly involved in this matter.
Earlier, someone bumped into me from the back. It then...
Is that person who bumped you still around?
The security only saw you bending over the display stand.
Yes. Yes. I was the one who knock over that display stand. But...
Boss Qian, you are erudite and talented.
Just want to ask a question since I'm already in trouble,
is there a Ru Kiln during the Warring States Period?
How could there be Ru Kiln during the Warring States Period?
That one is a modern art.
Then, that's easy.
Rich people like us do things according to rules.
This one was indeed shattered by me. How much is it? I'll pay.
Such a straightforward attitude.
- Right? - To tell you honestly, this item isn't mine.
Someone just asked me to sell it for him. Just pay according to its original price.
- And then I'll just talk with the owner. Okay? - Okay.
Look at these several papers first.
- What are those? - This is a cultural item certificate.
No need to look at them.
Contract to sell on one's behalf.
This is the account were the money should be transferred.
It's fine. It's fine.
Look. Look.
What is it?
Is there anything wrong with it? I'm sure that there's none.
Two million? ($300,000 USD)
Boss Qian, are you kidding with me?
What? Rich people like you must follow the rules, right?
You are clearly swindling me.
How did you see it?
The thing is indeed like that,
but you shouldn't say it like that. It's not pleasant to hear.
Great Huangbu, how about it?
Should I call the police for you?
Mr. Xu, don't worry. Those two guys
wouldn't dare come here to Panjiayuan anymore.
With just an item worth 1 to 2 million and they're already bankrupt? How could they dare to play with me?
Indeed. They are blind.
After offending you, they better hurry to get reincarnated and have a change of zodiac sign.
Old Qian, you did well.
After working for you for so long, I've learned a lot.
Why still be courteous with me? I've told you, I'm just a booi slave of yours.
These are mixed soil from several layers.
Little Zhuang, how did you discover this?
I just noticed that this area looks strange in those aerial photos.
Because you two were busy, I just came here first to look and discovered that it's indeed strange.
You have such great luck.
What are you holding?
This is the scanned picture.
I noticed that the soil here seems to have been turned over.
The color is very different from its surroundings.
I then walked over here and scanned it once, then discovered this.
But I don't know why there's suddenly a house that appeared.
But just based on this scanned picture, we can't really see anything.
Little Zhuang, this isn't called good luck. This is great sight.
He actually noticed that the color on the soil on this photo is different.
That's right.
How is it? Are you interested in joining us?
Me? I'm afraid I won't be of much help.
Then, you are belittling yourself improperly.
Little Ren, call Beijing quickly to request for public personnel to be sent here.
Okay.
Welcome to our team!
Congratulations, Student Zhuang.
Let's go. Let's take a look in front.
- Okay. - Let's go.
Doctor (PhD) Ren, isn't that a Luoyang shovel?
That's right.
Isn't that used by tomb robbers?
Indeed so. This Luoyang shovel was invented in the early to the last century by a tomb robber by the name of Li Yazi.
But, because it's practicality can't be replaced,
it has long been included into the must equipment of field archaeology.
In the hands of tomb robbers, this Luoyang shovel is used for digging and robbery.
In our hands, it is used for the protection of cultural relics.
Learning to use the Luoyang shovel to differentiate the soil quality
is the basic ability for every archaeological worker.
Is anyone in?
- Hello. - Why are you here?
- Get out! - Fellow Villager, we are here—
- Who is your fellow villager? - What is happening?
What are you doing? What happened?
We are wrong not to have informed you first. But, you are wrong to get physical and shove someone away.
Two days ago, someone came here and tried to steal something. I injured that fellow's leg.
What is it? Do you want to try, too?
Say, you have misunderstood. We are not here to steal.
What is happening?
Police Officer Miao, why are you here?
Looking at your posture, do you want to fight?
No. No.
Not at all.
A small misunderstanding.
Do you need the help of the police to resolve this?
No need. No need. We have already clarified everything.
- We came from Beijing. - Tourists.
We are tourists passing by here.
We don't know that someone is staying here. We thought this is a tourist attraction.
Sorry to have disturbed you.
Go. Go. Let's go quickly. Go.
Professor, just now—
We'll talk when we get back. Let's go.
It's this fellow again.
Boss, do you know those group of people?
The archaeology team from Beijing. They are also here for our big scoop.
No, that is to say, they already know that there's a grave beneath this building.
This... why so fast?
We have looked for half a year. I never imagined that the police is so efficient in their work.
I think it is related to that fellow from the pawnshop.
Say, isn't it so unlucky? As soon as I see him,
I feel that trouble is coming.
This time, before we start our work, think of a way to get rid of him.
Did you notice the scar on that man's face earlier?
It is a burnt scar. It's also a new scar.
What is the problem with it?
Corpses in the tomb below rot over long periods of time, accumulating a certain amount of methane.
When tombs are opened hastily and flame is used, it's easy to get burned.
I know. This is the fire hole that we've always talked about.
You even understand fire hole?
- He really knows quite a lot. - That is to say,
that person earlier is likely to be a tomb robber.
No wonder he was so unfriendly.
We have Police Officer Miao with us. Why didn't you arrest him on the spot?
Although we now know that the burial grounds is in this area, we don't have the confirmed detail location.
If we act hastily, we will arouse their suspicion.
Then, have they gone down to the tomb by now?
Probably, not yet. Normally, after the tomb robbers open the tomb,
they will move all the things in the grave out quickly within half a day. They will definitely not stay on.
- I reckon, they are still in the preparation stage. - Right.
So, Police Officer Miao, I recommend that you monitor them. Arrest them as soon as they take action.
We still can't arrest them now.
Why not?
Professor Meng, can I speak with you over there?
This... What is happening?
Professor Meng, you also said just now that this is just a speculation.
Even if we know that person is a grave robber,
we must wait for his boss to appear before we take any action.
To arrest the illegal cultural relic tomb robbing organization behind them in one full swoop is our aim.
But, the tomb of Qi Yuan down below contains precious cultural relics.
If we allow those tomb robbers to go down there to do whatever they want,
I'm very sure it will cause a great deal of damage to the cultural relics.
Even if the tomb robbers of Gansu are arrested today,
there will still be other tomb raiding organizations tomorrow taking such risks in other places.
This means that there is risk for even more tombs getting robbed.
I hope that you can understand this.
I understand now.
But, what if they enter the tomb and ruin the cultural relics?
Don't worry. We will do our best to prevent that from happening and protect the cultural relics.
Okay.
Little Zhuang and Little Ren, pack up the equipment!
- Okay. - Wait a moment!
Why have you become a member of the archaeology team?
Professor Meng says that I have good judgement. I can help.
When you finish your work here, come look for me in the town. I want to ask you something.
- Huh? - What's wrong?
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Dragon Guardians @ Viki
Sis, that little lamb really has a problem.
He actually went to the orchard all by himself to look for the tomb.
And he actually discovered it. Don't you think it's strange?
The strangest of all is that he is being asked by the archaeology team to help out.
Is it Dongfeng Hot Pot?
Yes. Yes.
I can see you. We're on the opposite side of the road. Just come over.
That's him. Go over.
Don't move!
Why does this person taking half a day to cross the road?
Sis, looks like there's activity behind the van.
Oh, no!
Who are you?
Quickly!
Stop! Police!
Retreat! Quickly!
Go!
Are you all right?
- What is happening? - Arrest them! Arrest them!
They are the robbers who burglarized the pawnshop.
Police Officer, why don't you arrest them?
Can you explain to me
how you managed to see his face clearly when your head was covered?
I...
I saw him before I was covered with the hood.
It's that group of people from the pawnshop.
That is to say, when you were in the pawnshop,
- you have already seen their faces clearly? - Yeah.
But, that is not what you told me when I asked you the first time!
No, I must have been so frightened I remembered wrongly.
Police Officer, can you not be so fierce? I get frightened easily.
If you frighten me again like this, I will forget many things.
I will give you another chance.
This is the portrait materials library. Can you piece together the faces of the robbers?
No, I don't really know how to do this.
That fellow's life is really tough enough.
That's right, Boss. I think it's a bit mystical, too.
Say, he was already covered by a hood. How come we was still so agile?
Mystical? I think you are guys are even more strange!
The hood was already on him, yet you can't catch him!
I never imagined that female police officer to be so incredible.
Okay. We can't care about him now. It's more urgent to focus on the important matters.
No, Boss, look at my face. It's not healed completely yet.
I'm afraid that it might affect my exertion.
Third, Dad and Mom gave you the name San Sheng, ('san' means three)
exactly so you would reflect on your actions three times a day.
But what did you do?
You can't bear to use your brain.
Do you know why I didn't take you to Beijing?
I was afraid that people will say we're not being professionals.
Is there anyone in our field that would get as fat as you?
But... you, really great.
That was clearly a fire hole, yet you still smoked down there.
Try eating supplements.
Does it still hurt?
Not anymore.
Third, you still haven't married.
Face is indeed important.
But if we foil this mission, we'll lose our lives.
Tell me, do you want your life or your face?
Th-Then I...don't want my face anymore. I want to be alive.
Be more careful.
Brothers, are you more or less ready?
More or less ready.
Okay.
Tomorrow, when the firecrackers are lighted,
we'll then start blasting.
Okay!
[Loyal to the party. Serve the people. Implement the law with fairness.]
[Be highly disciplined.]
No.
What about this?
No. It doesn't look like him.
- Not him. - I'll change to the next one.
Sis.
Say, can we believe his words?
His answers are always changing. It shows that he's hiding something.
Also, he really hopes that we catch the suspects this time.
Let's change to another.
You should change the eyebrows.
This one?
Only then can he save himself.
I really can't remember anymore.
Think about it again.
What about these eyes?
You sure that it's this one?
He has called many times. Answer it.
Speaker.
Hello.
Little Rui Rui...
Sorry!
I... accidentally shattered an item.
They're asking for ¥2 million! ($300,000 USD)
¥2 million?! What item is it?
Ru Kiln, from the Warring States Period.
Ru Kiln?
How is there a Ru Kiln from the Warring States Period?
Now, I finally know that.
How could there be a Ru Kiln during the Warring States Period?!
Who is it? He clearly was swindling you.
Qian Yaosi, Boss Qian.
He said it very clearly that he was swindling me.
Okay. Okay. Don't panic first.
Let's talk about it when I return.
Okay. Okay.
You... Quickly, come back.
Xiao Rui Rui, I need you.
Okay. Just quickly pay them back.
Quickly, come back.
Okay.
Boyfriend?
Oh, no, a childhood friend.
Quite rich.
¥2 million, and you're just giving it out like that.
Where did you get the money?
We earned it from buying a painting.
A painting that's worth ¥2 million?!
The whole Panjiayuan knows it. Don't you know?
Little Zhao, go check.
Yes.
What are you doing?
Posting in my friends group.
I want to record my current emotions.
Photoshopped.
I'm done with the eyes.
The night in the northwest is so long.
[Qin Xuanbing]
Hello.
You're still posting statuses in your account this late. Why aren't you sleeping?
Right. I c-can't sleep.
Why are you in the northwest? What place?
A little place. Lintao.
I came to attend a friend's wedding.
What are you doing right now?
I...
Is it inconvenient to talk right now?
I'm outside with my friends.
A lady?
Male.
I called to thank you
for the bamboo leaf katydid you gave me last time. I really like it.
Really? That's good.
Okay then, I won't disturb you anymore. Rest early.
Good night.
Photoshopped.
Stop right there.
Who told you to roam around?
Ms. Police, I'm just moving my muscles a little.
You sure that it's him?
I'm pretty sure.
Yu Lei, people in the underworld call him Boss Yu.
He's your boss?
