Although I don't know if that policewoman will come again, we still got up early and had a good breakfast. After all, the embarrassment of last time is still fresh in my memory, and I couldn't bear to be exposed again, or else I would really become a silver wolf.
Unexpectedly, the beautiful policewoman sister really came, and after everyone introduced each other, they finally got to know each other, and there was no more awkwardness like last time. Unexpectedly, Tong sister is quite good at telling jokes. In fact, she is one month younger than Yu sister, but Yu sister's dressing style is ever-changing, showing her feminine charm when mature, and looking like our school sister when innocent.
Actually, Tong Yue didn't have a talent for telling jokes. It's just that the "flies" around her used to try their best to make her laugh by telling jokes, and she happened to remember a few of them. She never thought there would come a day when she'd be telling jokes to others.
"What? You're leaving tomorrow?" Tong Yue looked at us in surprise.
"Yes, we came to Xi'an specifically to see the Terracotta Warriors. And because of that thing, we wasted two days, so now there's only today left." What Xueya said was different from what she had thought, but the flush on her face flashed by and she was no longer a girl, almost overnight she had matured.
"Is there anything else fun besides the Terracotta Warriors?" I asked foolishly, don't blame me for being uncultured, my geography knowledge is not good to begin with and I have a poor sense of direction, no talent at all.
Tong Yue couldn't help but laugh out loud, really didn't know how such a fool could deceive two beauties. Xue Cai was just a little girl, but Qin Yu didn't seem like an inexperienced woman, you could tell from the way she spoke. This little scoundrel must have some special function or something? Fortunately, she had been in Xi'an for half a year now, not to mention anything else, but playing around was done thoroughly, even if she didn't want to go, the boss would intentionally arrange small group sightseeing trips, only that each time there were her own people, so it could be said that she was already half a Xi'an insider.
"Xi'an is one of the world's four ancient capitals, along with Athens, Rome and Cairo. With a name like that, there must be many places worth visiting, such as Huaqing Pool - don't you want to go take a look?"
Huaqing Pool, haha, just want to take a look!
"There are also wildlife parks, horticultural exhibitions, and ecological science and technology parks that are very good. Unfortunately, you don't have enough time, at the very least, you should try Xi'an's most famous mutton burger, it's really great."
"Cough cough, forget it, I've been afraid of mutton since I was a kid and have never been interested in this."
As soon as I expressed my opinion, Qin Yu and Xuechai also lost interest. Qin Yu and Xuechai knew that the smell of mutton made me nauseous, let alone eating it...
"Alright, since it's like this, let's go see the Terracotta Warriors first."
A Hummer off-road vehicle was parked at the hotel entrance, and people passing by couldn't help but cast admiring glances, this car is really cool, worth over a million... it shouldn't be owned by this policewoman, right?
"Hehe, temporarily borrowed, specially for the three meritorious officials, I'm the driver myself." Tong Yue blinked her eyes, she liked this kind of open and free car, although Dad often said she didn't look like a girl, could girls drive this kind of car?
Didn't expect such treatment, not sitting for nothing, amidst others' envy, the four of us, one man and three women, got on the car, cool and awesome exterior, didn't expect the interior to be even better, comfortable in two words!
It seems that seeing my excited appearance, Tong Yue suddenly felt very proud of himself, finally surpassing them, from beginning to end he had always thought of himself as an insignificant outsider, now he has finally regained some face.
Any beauty in front of Hummer looks weak, with a sense of pairing between beauty and beast. This kind of contrast often has unexpected effects. Along the way, Qin Yu and Xue Cai were exchanging ideas with Tong Yue, three women playing a standard play, I didn't even have a chance to interrupt, looking out of the car window at the envious and jealous eyes of passersby, a sense of vanity floated up, this is the power and wealth enjoyment of worldly life, indeed very "moving"!
I don't know why I always subconsciously regard myself as an outsider.
"Hey, Ye Kuai, want to give it a try?" Tong Yue suggested, but before I could even respond, Xue Cai this little girl had already knocked me dead with one stick.
"He's just come of age, how can he drive a car!"
Sweat, she doesn't seem like a young adult at all, and it's just Cheng Ren, heh heh.
She turned back and gave Xueyai a ambiguous smile, Xueyai naturally understood the implication in her eyes, couldn't help but pouted, leaving Tongyue bewildered.
"Tong sister's proposal is very tempting, but unfortunately I don't know how to drive. Let's talk about it again when I come to Xi'an next time." Although I really want to have a good time, I've only driven a bumper car before.
After about twenty minutes, we finally arrived at the northern foot of Lishan Mountain. The dense forest hid the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum. Maybe because of the murder case, there were almost no people here today.
Is there really no one? Not even a single person? Won't that be closing down? Are the Terracotta Warriors also going on holiday?
Tong Yue furrowed her brow, almost forgetting that the museum's closure order had not been lifted yet. However, this didn't pose a problem for her, and after just a few minutes, we were allowed to enter, and even got in for free.
The first time I saw such a magnificent terracotta army, everyone was shocked. It's absolutely a wonder of humanity and it's really too magnificent. The majestic momentum of China's First Emperor Qin Shi Huang seems to be right in front of us.
Pointing to the sky, who is the hero of the world!
"Let me introduce you to the Terracotta Warriors. The famous Qin Shi Huang Terracotta Warriors Museum has three pits, covering a total area of 22,780 square meters. The arrangement of the terracotta warriors is in three rows facing east, with each row consisting of 70 warrior figures, totaling 210 figures, resembling the vanguard of an army formation. Behind them are infantrymen and war chariots..."
The Thirty-Eighth Route Army, each route is about 180 meters long, seemingly the main body of the military formation.
"Cough, Comrade Tong Yue of the police, can you give us a copy of the travel brochure in your hand? Aren't you tired of reading it like that?" Looking at her struggling appearance, we also felt struggling to listen.
"You stinky little brat doesn't know what's good for you, wanting it but I won't give it to you. Qin sister, Xue sister, here, we three each get one portion!"
Sweat, discrimination!
"So many Terracotta Warriors! I wonder how much one would sell for?"
"Ye Ruo, you have a bit of nationalistic feelings, don't you? With such rich historical and cultural relics, you actually think of money!"
This little girl has become my wife and still likes to tease me like this, really hasn't changed at all, but I like it!
"It's too much praise, I just want to highlight its value!" You can't do anything to me with your thick skin!
"Hehe, although I've never sold any, there are indeed people who offer sky-high prices to buy a pair of genuine Terracotta Warriors, but this is not an issue of money, it's an issue of national dignity. Even if you're willing to pay a high price, it's still useless. However, in Xi'an, there are many workshops that produce replicas of the Terracotta Warriors, from small ones like the souvenirs you buy, to large ones that are identical to the real thing. Of course, they don't have any historical value."
"To be honest, I don't have any artistic cells, but seeing such a magnificent Terracotta Warriors and Horses, I suddenly felt a surge of grandeur in my heart. I can imagine the emotions of Qin Shi Huang when he unified China. The entire Terracotta Warriors and Horses seemed to infect me with its grandeur, yet also with a hint of expectation and a hint of regret."
No matter if you are a king, a noble, a general or an ordinary person, everything is just a dream in the end.
"Don't pretend to understand when you don't, my young master. At that time, Ying Zheng was thinking about living forever, where is the heroic spirit?" Xue Cai despised me again.
You little brat are really asking for it, hurting my heroic spirit. Just wait and see how I'll deal with you when I get back home tonight!
Xue Ya didn't care about my fierce gaze at all, and instead provoked a return glance. Xue Ya shook her head straight away. Tong Yue was curious with a hint of disdain, wondering why two good girls like them were hanging out with a silly boy like me, and being so promiscuous.
This is really spacious, and it can be imagined how grand the project was at that time. Each terracotta warrior is like a real person. The sculpture of the terracotta horses and warriors is based on real life, with delicate and vivid artistic techniques. The pottery figurines have different costumes, expressions, and gestures. There are many kinds of hairstyles, and the facial expressions are also different. From their costumes, expressions, and gestures, it can be judged whether they are officials or soldiers, infantry or cavalry. Here, there are old veterans with long beards who have experienced many battles, as well as young men who have just gone to war. The general's figurine, which is 1.96 meters tall, stands upright, deep in thought, and exudes a strong and majestic aura.
"The Terracotta Warriors are just the outer layer of Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum, and the real central tomb has not been developed yet. The greatest wish of all contemporary archaeologists is to see the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum unearthed in their lifetime."
Spitting blood, such a grand momentum, claiming to be the eighth wonder of the world, comparable to the Egyptian pyramids and ancient Greek sculptures, is the Terracotta Army of Qin Shi Huang just peripheral?
Wow, is this for real? Does Old Qin really have such great energy?
"Yes, I remember that in the Records of the Grand Historian, there is a section dedicated to the tomb of Qin Shi Huang. It says that the tomb is surrounded by water, but according to archaeologists, Xi'an has never had an ocean or large lake since ancient times. So the 'water' inside must not be water. After roughly determining the location of the tomb, scientists drilled and sampled the soil, discovering high concentrations of mercury. In other words, the core of the entire mausoleum is surrounded by a sea of mercury, an impenetrable barrier that any grave robber would not be able to cross."
"Unfortunately, it seems that Qin Shi Huang didn't get to enjoy this mausoleum?"
"Who knows, but what historians and archaeologists are more concerned about is the cultural relics inside. When Qin Shi Huang unified the six states, he plundered an unimaginable amount of wealth and gathered all the soldiers to build twelve giant bronze men. These things were put into the mausoleum in advance. If they weren't in the mausoleum, it's impossible that there wouldn't be any historical records of these bronze men!"
Listening to the three women expressing their opinions, I've become interested... If I can get a few pieces, I won't have to worry about funding anymore. Of course, I'll only sell them to the country. I heard that if you hand over national treasures, you can get 1% of the value. Even 1% of something priceless is still priceless, haha, I'm really a genius.
"It's actually everyone who wants to uncover the mystery, but what happens after it's uncovered? Don't look at the Terracotta Warriors now being so glorious, but many Qin dynasty terracottas have been exposed to air and already show signs of deterioration. Although protective measures have been taken, nothing can resist time. Moreover, to prevent theft, a lot of manpower and resources are needed. Fortunately, these Qin terracottas are difficult to move, making protection relatively easier. However, once the real tomb is unearthed, it won't be like this. The enormous wealth inside that could drive people crazy will probably need to be protected by the military. Some cultural relics, such as calligraphy and paintings, can't even be exposed to air. There's still no better way to deal with this now, and mercury in its natural state will evaporate and cause great damage to the environment. A series of problems.
Qin Yu also shook his head, saying that every Chinese person wants to witness the majesty of the First Emperor, who is one of the most famous historical figures in China and ranks among the top in world history."
"In fact, those in power are also having a headache over these treasures, they can't be privately owned, can't be sold, and exhibiting them is also a big problem, this is the biggest issue!"
Looking at the Terracotta Warriors, I couldn't help but think of the mausoleum. The more magnificent the Terracotta Warriors are, the more expectations there are for the mausoleum. What kind of surprise will Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of the Chinese nation, bring to us? It's really exciting.
"Alright, Ye Da Shuai Ge, stop daydreaming and get out of my way."
Sweat, Xiao Yezi, you, you, remember for me, we'll settle our accounts on the bed tonight, one by one. I whispered this in Xue Ye's ear.
This time Xue Ya was a bit more honest, her pretty face turned red to the point of dripping water, after all, she was still not used to such explicit **.
Tong Yue saw it but pretended not to see it, now is about time to ask anyway.
"It's all because of that culprit, you guys can't fully enjoy your tour in Xi'an, what a pity." Tong Yue pretended to show a regretful expression, but was carefully observing the expressions of the three people.
"Hehe, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have gotten to know you either." Qin Yu looked at her with a profound gaze, finally getting to the point after beating around the bush.
Tong Yue pretended not to see, "That murderer was really too cruel, but it's really strange. According to our investigation, he was just an ordinary worker, but he could silently kill 32 of our police officers without making a sound. You know that criminal police are specially trained and are not ordinary people who can be killed silently. His means were so ruthless that they didn't seem human."
"He can't be considered human anyway." Xue Ya blurted out a sentence, only to realize she had misspoken and hurriedly covered her mouth.
Tong Yue is what kind of person, such a big loophole would not be let go, laughed and said, "Oh. He's not human, could he be a monster? I'm a party member, a firm atheist."
Tong Yue didn't pursue it and instead continued the topic in a joking manner.
"What monsters are there, and the police don't say anything, everything has been cleared up, hasn't it? The other party is a deeply mentally ill person who just ran out of the mental hospital not long ago?" I said lightly, not wanting to get entangled with her too much. Our world is vastly different from that of ordinary people, and there will be even more unimaginable differences in the future. Whether we are friends or foes is still uncertain, and it's not a good idea to expose ourselves prematurely, especially when the other party is a detective, a not-so-simple detective.
"Oh, do you believe this explanation?" Tong Yue asked back, carefully observing our reactions. In fact, she already had a bottom line. The three of us all looked disdainful from head to toe, without the usual fear or enthusiasm for idle chatter, and intentionally avoiding it was even more suspicious. She didn't think she couldn't dig out their old bottom.
She believed in the existence of supernatural powers because she once inadvertently heard a hint from her father, and perhaps these three people were the "kind of people" her father was talking about.
In fact, she "ran away from home" for another reason, which is that her father, Yaguchi, denied the existence of this matter and told herself not to daydream all day. Tong Yue's ears weren't useless!
"Hehe, Tong Jie, whether you believe it or not doesn't seem to make a difference anyway."
"Don't blame your sister, it's also her task, just a formality. I want to know what you were doing that night?" Tong Yue said, looking at me, and I remembered the "homework" she left for me when she was about to leave that day.
"Do you really want to know, Detective Tung?"
"Yes!" Tong Yue said very seriously.
"Alright." I winked at Qin Yu and Xuechai, then whispered a few words into Tong Yue's ear. Her delicate face had already started to turn red, and finally, I even blew a mouthful of hot air against her clever ears - after all, some interest had to be collected.
"You! Alright, don't let me catch your weakness!" Tong Yue retorted viciously.
"Hehe, Tong sister, we're going back tomorrow and we'll be attending university in Shanghai. You're in Xi'an, on the other side of the world, haha, how can you catch me? Are police allowed to take days off every day?"
Shanghai? Tong Yue's heart was already secretly laughing. If other places were still a bit troublesome, once they arrived in Shanghai, it would be like arriving at their own turf. Just you wait and see.
In this way, Tong Yue was no longer in a hurry. As we walked and talked, we had already reached the end of the Terracotta Warriors Pit, which was very far away from the exit.
Just then, a faint and eerie aura was gradually thickening, the three of us turned pale at the same time. Damn it, this trip to Xi'an had been nothing but trouble since we ate that little coconut, and now here comes more!
