The Golden Eyes (Huáng Jīn Tóng / 黄金瞳官微)

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Dragon Guardians @ Viki

The doctor said that it is not very serious.

She'll be able to wake up after resting for a while more.

I think this must just be an accident this time.

The lights in the tent were not switched on.

It is possible for an elderly person to bump into something or fall down.

No.

Look at this.

This is a broken piece of glass from a camera flash. I picked it up from the ground.

If my guess is correct,

someone must have followed Professor Meng into the tent.

Then, he used the camera flash to hit Professor Meng on her head.

Professor Meng!

Professor Meng! Professor Meng!

- How are you feeling? - Zhuang Rui, Feifei.

I'm sorry, Professor Meng. I should have accompanied you there last night.

I'm all right. Where are the files?

I've checked through the files. None are missing. Don't worry.

When I went in last night,

someone suddenly knocked me unconscious.

What did this person look like? Did you manage to take a good look?

I only remember that before I went in,

there was a flash of white light inside that tent.

A flash of white light?

We are the only people on the grassland. We are also far from the Pasture District.

Transportation is very inconvenient, too.

It is impossible for outsiders to get in here.

This is something done by one of us. A light from the flash...

This is because he was secretly taking photos of the file materials,

and was chanced upon by you just then.

If there's really a spy among us,

then his mastermind could be the one who attacked Bagatur and me the last time.

Now, Professor Meng is injured

and confidential information has leaked out. I am not done with them yet.

Spy?

In our archaeological team, besides the students I brought along,

there are the police who are responsible for guarding the place and some staff who are hired from the outside.

There are too many people. We should not act rashly and arouse the suspicion of our enemy.

Now, the two of you are the ones I trust the most.

I will go ask for help from the police who are investigating this.

We will check all the mails that were sent out from the base.

There's no need for all this trouble.

This is what I found on the scene.

This should be a broken piece of glass from a camera flash.

If we go according to the camera equipment that we have in the team and their serial numbers,

search them one by one, I reckon we'll be able to find it.

You are right.

Later, after everyone has gone in the tomb,

I will go to the equipment storeroom to check the spare items there.

You'll go to the other people's tents

and check if there's any camera with a damaged flash.

You have to check them all carefully. Do not leave out anything.

Zhuang Rui, I heard that Professor had an accident. What happened to her?

Last night, Professor hit her head inside the tent.

For now, the digging work should be delayed by half a day.

We will continue when Professor is well.

Look, the weather is uncertain.

Even if the digging work is delayed by half a day,

it will still affect the clearing up and preservation of the relics.

- Why don't we— - Little Ren is right.

Professor, are you all right?

You are injured. Please go back quickly and rest.

Leave the digging work to me. Don't worry about it.

Okay, okay.

All these old bones,

I'm referring to those two-thousand-year old relics,

are still waiting for me to lead them to see the light again.

Professor.

Hello? It's me.

They are beginning to suspect.

I believe I will be investigated by them very soon.

Previously, when Professor Meng was unable to participate personally in the digging work,

she would let me take charge on her behalf.

But this time, it's a bit different.

Okay, I know.

I have already gotten the thing I wanted.

I have given you the money you wanted.

The relationship between us is just like the money which has already been paid.

As to the mess which you have made, you have to clean it up yourself.

What?

Oh, right. Don't call this number anymore.

Lastly, wishing you good luck.

Hello? Hello?

Hello?

Miss, there isn't any corpse or a jade eye.

Our internal line (mole) is leaked. We can't continue with our investigation.

Will they investigate all the way to you?

How can that be possible? Don't worry, Miss.

That's good. Use your discretion and act accordingly.

But remember, keep Zhuang Rui.

Okay.

Zhuang Rui! Zhuang Rui!

Zhuang Rui, I think you have taken something that belongs to me.

This equipment is for public use within the team.

I'm taking it back on behalf of Professor. Is anything wrong with that?

This indeed belongs to the team.

But you privately went through my personal belongings.

You are wrong to do that, aren't you?

Zhuang Rui! Zhuang Rui!

Please listen to my explanation.

Zhuang Rui. Zhuang Rui!

Please listen to my explanation, Zhuang Rui.

At 1:00 a.m. last night,

where were you?

Are you going to ask me about what happened to Professor Meng?

Correct. I did it.

Why?

The wages for an academic researcher are meager.

I have to support my elderly parents at home.

Classmates from the same year as me have either remained in the school as teaching professors, or have already found their own livelihood.

But after I have followed Professor Meng for so many years, she has never given me a clear indication.

Does she want me to take over her work, or does she have other arrangements for me?

You know, too, that for those of us who studied archaeology, it is not easy at all for us to find work outside.

Zhuang Rui, I beg you, please let me off this time. Please forgive me.

It was only for a moment of covetous thinking. I will never commit the same mistake in the future.

Covetous thinking?

Zhuang Rui, I beg you, please forgive me this once, Zhuang Rui.

Forgive?

Let you off? These can't be decided by me.

Are you planning to report me?

You know, too, that those materials will be made public in a matter of time.

Correct.

You are right, but it is not now.

Before an archaeological work is completed,

if any materials get leaked, what's the consequence?

Professor Meng should have taught you that.

What other excuses do you have?

Tell it to the police later.

Are you crazy?

What a bunch of nonsense!

There are no injuries to his bones and arteries,

but it's best to get him examined at a hospital.

Good. Thank you.

Are you ready to give your confession now,

or do you want to wait till later?

You cannot get out of it.

If you tell me everything now, you might have a chance for leniency.

I feel bad for you.

How can you do something like this

after all the education you've had?

How are you going to face your teacher?

Officer Miao.

Professor.

I'm here to see my student.

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Dragon Guardians @ Viki

These few tombs

are those which you've accompanied me into.

Originally, I was thinking that

after organizing all the materials,

you would be the second author

when we publish it.

You have been by my side these years doing archaeological work.

If not for your mistake this time,

I was planning to have you

take over my work

after you graduated.

Professor,

I know I've done wrong.

However, I still have one question.

Go ahead.

Professor,

while in prison,

will I still be able to apply for a postdoctoral position under you?

Professor.

Professor!

- Speak quickly. - Sis,

the seller of the jade figurine has confessed.

Right. They have another venue for the transaction of goods.

It's at a villa in the suburbs.

The buyer is a man. There are no other details beyond that yet.

We only know that they contact each other by phone.

It's a man?

I'll be back as soon as possible.

Okay, got it.

Come in.

Doctor Ren has been taken away.

I failed as a teacher;

I did not produce an ethical student.

Have a seat.

Do you need anything?

Well...

Professor Meng, until now, is the identity of No.1 Qin tomb's owner

still unconfirmed?

From this round pottery jar, we are able to determine

the amount of land and grains the tomb owner owned while he was alive.

From the way No. 1 tomb was unearthed, we are able to know that

the owner was very rich.

This would not be an exaggeration.

This tomb contained top quality funerary objects and instruments that only the aristocratic class would possess.

The tomb owner is from the Central Plains and from an aristocratic class of the Qin Dynasty, too.

But the strange thing is...

What's strange about it?

The strange thing is, there aren't any standard bronze vessels for sacrifice and funerary objects in the tomb.

This is hindering us from taking another step in establishing the identity of the tomb owner.

After the Shang Yang political reform (356 BC - 350 BC) of the Qin State, there were many

minor aristocrats who were promoted because of military achievements.

I think he must be one of them.

I have the same thoughts, too.

Looking from the view of his status,

this tomb owner could be an aristocrat of low position.
