_In Wu Xie's kitchen_
High Jr: Whats wrong?
Wu Xie : We donated the OX head to the Cultural Relic Protection and Management Institute three days ago.
Wu Xie says as he makes himself a sandwich in his small kitchen while Jr looks listening to him from upstairs.
Wu Xie : But there has been no news report on that up to now
Wu Xie started to get suspicious of what was going on as there would always be some kind of report on a new Relic entering the Institute (CRPMI)
High Jr : You want to be famous?
Jr laughs at Wu Xie
Wu Xie : If I wanted to be famous, I would have let everyone know that I was the one who donated the OX
High Jr: Such a big event happened, but still so new on it... kind of suspicious don't you think?
Jr says while munching on his cheese sandwich pressed against the staircase railing
Wu Xie : Well the only reason could be that the OX head isn't really that special
High Jr : WHAT? Nothing special? Then why did we risk our lives trying to bring it back all the way from Mongolia
At this point Jr was quite confused and frustrated at why they had to go through all that struggle for Xie to say it was nothing special. Wu Xie being the calm headed person he is replies calmly
Wu Xie : That''s not what I mean, I mean sure it's a cultural relic in terms of it's appearance, preservation condition and archaeological value, but ... it has nothing special.
Wu Xie : Since it has nothing that special about it then why did those mercenaries refuse to retreat and chased us all the way through Mongolia?
Wu Xie started to think out loud on why Nings men wanted the OX head so bad if it was presumed to not even be report worthy... what was so special or ordinary about it that they wanted it...
High Jr: If you're right and it really isn't anything special then why did that pretty head female merc care about it so much ?
Wu Xie connected some of the dots and though of a possible theory on why Ning chased them
Wu Xie: Could it be about the Silk Manuscript?
They both head over to Wu Xie's study and take out the manuscript placing it on his desk to look for clues
Wu Xie: If their target really is the Silk manuscript, then there has to be important information in it.
High Jr : You think this information has more value than the OX head?
