Chapter 280: Chapter 235: Someone’s Making Trouble!_2
Grant’s words seemed to have some effect. After hearing what he said, the strong attitude of those people seemed a bit hesitant, but they apparently did not plan to give up so easily.
"We need to search your supplies to verify whether what you’re saying is true or not."
Since it involved foreigners, the people who came did not dare to be negligent, and they had brought along complete documents.
Grant had no choice but to let them carry out the search.
"Found it!" Suddenly, a searching policeman shouted.
Willow Taylor quickly translated for Sean Knight and the others.
Sean was surprised, where could there still be something?
He looked in the direction of the policeman, which was the tent where Elijah Hastings and the others were staying. Had they left something out there?
The lean man showed a smug expression.
The shouting policeman came running with an item, and when Sean saw it, he laughed.
It turned out to be the rusty bell that Elijah had found earlier at the ruin site.
The lean man looked at the item and was somewhat disappointed.
However, he still walked up to Grant and Sean with the copper bell and said, "This is the evidence!"
Grant could not deny it and looked at Sean instead.
Sean asked Willow to translate:
"We picked this up in the Gobi Beach. You should be a professional, and you should be able to tell that this copper bell has become the way it is now thanks to long-term weathering and rusting. It is not something that could have possibly been dug up from the ground.
Previously, we dismissed two young men from the team because they disagreed with our opinions and did not follow our instructions. I suspect that these two bear a grudge against us and have therefore framed us!"
By this time, the other policemen had finished searching and came over and whispered their report.
Although they could not understand what was being said, the disappointed look on the lean man’s face showed that they had not found what he wanted.
Of course, the document provided by Grant was also strong proof.
"Perhaps it’s a false accusation. But you cannot leave this place in a short period. If you want to go anywhere, you must report to us. We will send someone to accompany you. There are numerous archaeological sites in our country, Mongolia, which was once the center of the world! We do not want these to be illegally excavated by people with ulterior motives!"
The lean man left, leaving the policemen behind.
The chief policeman approached Willow, knowing that she was a translator, and said something.
Willow translated:
"A few days ago, two cars with seven or eight people headed in this direction. Now they have gone missing. He asked if we have seen them."
"Tell him that they came to rob us but were eventually driven away by us," Sean said, half in jest.
If they said they had not seen them, that would be ridiculous. Although the Gobi Beach was windy at night and the car tracks had disappeared in the sand, those people clearly came aiming for the archaeological team. To deny seeing them would only raise more suspicion.
The policeman stared deeply at Sean and suddenly said a few more words.
Willow’s face changed as she translated:
"He said he knows we hid something. He wants us to tell them the whereabouts of those people without trying any tricks. Otherwise, if the matter gets exposed, there will be no good outcome for us."
"Let him search and investigate, and then talk about it when there’s evidence. Without evidence, I don’t know what they’re talking about."
Sean was not afraid at all.
The head of the policemen was furious. He twisted his head, called someone, looked around for a while, asked people in the small town, and finally drove in the direction Sean had gone before.
Now, those who were aware of the situation became nervous!
"Don’t worry. I just went for a walk." With the police still present, Sean could not say too much and had to vaguely reassure his people, "I took the opportunity to relieve myself, and at most, they can find some traces of where I relieved myself!"
With Sean saying that, Willow, Grant, and some others remained doubtful, while Elijah and a few others felt relieved.
As long as Sean dares to say it, he must have confidence.
Sure enough, half an hour later, the policeman who had driven came back, and from his expression, it was evident that he found nothing.
"You better not let us catch any handle!" Frustrated, the leading policeman left a warning, then left two people and drove away himself.
Sean sighed.
Feeling restless after two quiet days, Sean Knight had originally intended to explore the locations of the other two clues he had found in the ancient texts.
Now, with the tail discovery, he had no choice but to be patient.
However, he was not in a hurry, as time was on his side and if all else failed, he could come back later.
At noon, Willow Taylor came to ask:
"Do we need to prepare food for those two policemen?"
"Send some over. Have someone from the small town do it." Sean Knight wasn’t petty enough to make life difficult for two small-time people.
After all, the two policemen were only following orders; they really had no say in the matter.
The policemen had originally planned to eat their dry rations.
After all, this expedition team was from abroad, and they couldn’t do anything if Sean didn’t give them the time of day. The team had very influential connections.
But they were surprised when food was sent to them, which improved their attitude immediately.
The subsequent excavation work proceeded smoothly. After the skull was excavated, Grant Kenneth found more bones nearby, such as leg bones and ribs.
Moreover, it was clear that there was more than one Blue-tailed Dragon. Grant was even excited to say that there was more than just one type of dinosaur!
This Grant really had some skills!
During this period, everyone slept nervously at night, but that creature never showed up again.
The number of live streamers who came to report on the site every day started to decrease.
After all, if nothing was found, no matter how big the hype, people would eventually become disappointed.
Meanwhile, they heard that the injured Battut, who had been bitten, had become famous after receiving interviews and that the expedition had provided substantial compensation, allowing him to escape poverty and achieve a measure of prosperity.
Sean Knight talked to Grant Kenneth casually, discussing the daily excavation plans, as well as giving hints and insights, which greatly benefited both of them. As a result, the efficiency of the excavation work increased, and in less than ten days, they pieced together a complete Blue-tailed Dragon fossil skeleton.
After assembling the fossil, Sean Knight recorded a full video of it using his mobile phone. He planned to take this Blue-tailed Dragon back to his villa!
Meanwhile, another Blue-tailed Dragon and a Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil continued to be excavated.
Of course, besides these public fossils, other fossils were packaged and sealed after excavation. Apart from Grant and Sean, no one else knew the exact number of fossils.
Sean would gradually put the Blue-tailed Dragon fossils into the Jade Space. In the end, the Department of Culture of Mongolia would take these fossils for exhibition after the excavation was completed, and Grant had finished his research on the fossils.
Sean had to act quietly and stealthily.
After storing the dinosaur fossils, his Jade Pendant space was almost full, so Sean also planned to leave after the excavation was completed, while Grant and Willow stayed behind to do more research.
There was too much stuff; some cleanup was needed.
One day, Sean Knight sat on a rock, bored, watching the workers excavate.
"Boss, how long is this excavation going to take?" Douglas Cooper was also bored. With the police watching, they couldn’t go out to hunt casually, and their life became monotonous.
"Ten days." Sean Knight had already scanned the area with his Sky Eye, and Grant had basically identified all the dinosaur fossils nearby. The excavation work would proceed faster from now on.
"Ten more days..." Douglas Cooper wiped his face, "my fair skin is almost turning into tree bark now..."
Sean Knight was speechless. The big and tall Douglas Cooper was strangely quite concerned about his appearance.
In his own words, he was already a six out of ten, and if he didn’t protect himself well, he would fall below average.
"Boss, I’m serious. Don’t believe me? Just look!"
Sean Knight reached out and pushed Douglas’ head away, not looking at his face, and instead turned to watch the excavation site.
Suddenly, Sean stood up, grabbed the hunting rifle from Douglas Cooper, and yelled at the workers on the excavation site while running downhill:
"Run! Hurry up! It’s dangerous!"
The faster-reacting workers dropped their tools and ran. Two slower ones were still standing there, stunned.
They were probably wondering why they had to run.
"Bang!" Sean Knight fired a shot while running!
