Chapter 526: Hidden Death Warrant

Du Fei moved very quickly. It took only a dozen seconds from jumping into the yard to entering the cellar.

The cellar was dark, and there was no light after closing the door.

But it did not affect Du Fei's sight.

After he came in, he stood behind the door and paused for a while to adapt to the dark light.

Then he walked quickly to a corner of the cellar.

There was a wooden shelf that looked very heavy.

Fortunately, it was summer and there was no storage, so there were cabbages, potatoes and radishes.

The wooden shelf was empty.

Du Fei reached up and grabbed the beam under the shelf.

Because no one had moved it for many years, there was a thick layer of dust and messy spider webs underneath.

Fortunately, Du Fei was wearing the labor protection gloves issued by the steel factory, so he was not afraid of these.

He then pursed his lips and said "hmm", and his arms, waist and legs worked together.

He lifted up the wooden shelf that weighed more than 100 pounds.

He moved to the side and made room for the ground below.

The ground under the wooden frame is not like the outside. Because people often come and go, the red brick floor has been covered with a thick layer of black mud.

The original color of the bricks can still be seen here.

Du Fei walked over and stomped his feet twice, and a brick suddenly became loose.

He took out a screwdriver from his pocket and squatted down to pry the loose brick open.

And under the brick, you can clearly see the traces of being bitten by the rat's front teeth.

Under this brick, there were originally three layers of red bricks to lead to the secret compartment below.

But these three layers of red bricks had been bitten by Xiao Hong before, leaving a big hole.

Only the top one was left to cover it.

Now this brick was taken out, revealing a hole thicker than an arm.

A touch of joy flashed in Du Fei's eyes, and he immediately reached in and turned on the field of vision synchronization.

At this time, Xiao Hong was below.

Suddenly, Du Fei's field of vision changed and came to Xiao Hong's side.

Immediately, a big hand stretched out from the hole above.

This feeling of seeing your hand from another angle is really a bit strange.

As Du Fei touched the box in the secret compartment below, he immediately retracted his vision, then hit the spirit and opened the portable space.

Without a doubt, the suitcase and the tarpaulin paper wrapped on it were taken away.

In order to confirm that nothing was left out.

Du Fei synchronized his vision again and found that there was nothing in the secret compartment.

Then he took out some pre-prepared cement from the portable space, smeared it on the brick, and pressed it back to its original position.

He wiped it with his hand again to wipe off the overflowing cement.

When the cement dried, there was basically no abnormality outside.

Then he restored the wooden frame that had been moved away.

Du Fei stood up, retreated to the entrance of the cellar, and took a last look.

Then he synchronized his vision to find Xiao Hei in the air and confirmed that there was no one outside.

Then he opened the door and went out quietly.

Then he closed the door and put the padlock back on.

It's just that Du Fei can use the portable space to take the padlock off, but he can't put it back as it is.

It's just hanging there symbolically.

When someone finds it tomorrow, they will probably think that the neighbor who shares the cellar didn't lock it properly.

Du Fei was agile and returned along the same route and climbed over the wall to get out.

Only then did Du Fei breathe a sigh of relief.

From the time he went in to the time he came out, the whole process, although complicated, actually took just over a minute.

Thinking of the suitcase in the portable space, Du Fei was in a good mood, pushed his bicycle, and was about to turn around and go home.

But just after leaving the alley, he suddenly saw a person coming from the west.

At this time, the drizzle had not stopped.

The person was holding a black umbrella, wearing a dark blue work suit, a hat on his head, and a pair of glasses.

He was walking slowly, as if he was an ordinary worker who got off work late.

Under the umbrella, it was impossible to see the person's face clearly.

But Du Fei felt that the person seemed a little familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.

He frowned, thinking about the suitcase, and without thinking much, he got on the bike and was about to go back.

But at this moment, the man also found Du Fei and turned his head to look over here.

At this time, Du Fei was also wrapped tightly, wearing a raincoat and a large raincoat hat, and his face could not be seen at all.

The man glanced at him, without any expression, and continued to move forward.

Du Fei got on the bike and rode in the direction he came from.

But before he pedaled a few times, Du Fei suddenly reacted.

Why did he feel that the man just now was a little familiar!

Because his walking posture was very similar to Teacher Wei, and the so-called Teacher Wei was Wang Wenming!

At the beginning, Du Fei had asked Xiao Hei to chase Teacher Wei and monitor him for a long time, and had carefully observed his morphological characteristics.

Thinking of this, Du Fei suddenly squeezed the brake and immediately ordered Xiao Hei, who was about to fly back to the water tower, to follow.

However, strangely, in less than ten seconds, the man suspected to be Wang Wenming disappeared!

Du Fei looked back and didn't see anyone at all.

Even Xiao Hei, who was in the air, still couldn't find anyone after flying back.

This made Du Fei feel a chill down his spine. Did he see a ghost in the middle of the night?

Du Fei shook his head secretly and started riding his bike again.

Since he couldn't find anyone, he didn't worry too much. In fact, to some extent, not being able to find anyone was a good thing.

This meant that Wang Mingming's lair or an important base was probably nearby.

Thinking of this, Du Fei's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that he has been hiding here since he ran away last time?

Another possibility is that he came here to find someone.

Du Fei immediately thought of the fat old woman who often went to the cellar.

Could it be that he came to find her?

If so, some of Chu Chunhua's suspicious behaviors would make perfect sense.

Du Fei was thinking and ordered Xiao Hei to continue staring here.

He himself rode a bicycle to make sure there was no one following him before returning to the courtyard.

Put away your bicycle and climb over the wall into the courtyard.

He fell silently from the side of the moon door, and then tiptoed back home.

Du Fei was wondering what was hidden in that suitcase and wanted to check it immediately when he got home.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I opened the door, I noticed something was wrong. There was someone in the room!

Before Du Fei left, he didn't turn off the lights.

Looking inside, it turned out that Qin Huairou was sitting on the Arhat bed where he was accustomed to sit, flipping through "Sherlock Holmes" which he hadn't read much recently.

Should I say it or not, Qin Huairou's profile is really beautiful.

Under the incandescent lamp, I lowered my head to read a book, with a few bangs hanging down, my slender white neck, and half of my round forearms exposed...

Hearing the sound of the door, Qin Huairou turned around and immediately stood up and came over, saying coquettishly, "It's still raining outside in the middle of the night. What's the point of going out to scare away people?"

Qin Huairou just complained and did not get to the bottom of things.

Du Fei smiled and didn't explain to her. While unbuttoning his raincoat, he joked, "You came so early, you missed me again~"

Qin Huairou rolled her eyes at him, took the raincoat that Du Fei took off, and put it aside to dry, dripping and dripping with water.

Under the raincoat, Du Fei's half-sleeved shirt was soaked with sweat.

The raincoat at this time was really too thick, especially in the summer. Although it protected me from the rain, I was still covered in sweat.

In front of Qin Huairou, Du Fei didn't have any scruples. He took off his shirt and went to the bathroom to drink water. He washed briefly and finally felt much better.

Qin Huairou followed, waiting and said, "By the way, I have something to tell you."

Du Fei took the dry towel and said "Hmm" "You tell me~"

Qin Huai Judao said, "It's Sister Lu. They have a relative who is a soldier and has changed his career. He wants to go to the police station."

Du Fei finished wiping, picked up the cup on the coffee table and took a sip of tea.

The tea was a little cold, so Qin Huairou made it herself.

"What kind of relative is so caring?" Du Fei put down his cup and sat down.

Qin Huairou took another cup, made a new cup of tea and handed it over, "He said he was my maternal nephew. I met him, and the young man looks good. This is the first time Sister Lu has opened her mouth to us, so I think I should try my best to be attentive."

Du Fei asked, "Why don't you go to the security department in the factory? Isn't it better than going to the police station?"

In this era, the security department in the factory is not the security guard of later generations. It has more power and more salary than the police station.

If future development is not considered, for most people, the security department is indeed better than the police station.

Qin Huaiju said, "I also asked, that child's father is a publican, and he has wanted to be a publican since he was a child."

Du Fei smiled, for a very good reason.

And from what Qin Huairou said, Director Lu had taken care of her before, but this was the first time she asked for help.

If they really can't help, although it won't affect their relationship, in Director Lu's heart, Qin Huairou's value, or importance, will definitely be discounted.

"Demobilized soldier~~~" Du Fei pondered slightly, then asked, "What kind of soldier did you become?"

Qin Huairou was not sure and said, "I didn't ask in detail, but Sister Lu seemed to have said it before. I remember...it seemed to be an automobile soldier."

When Du Fei heard this, he believed that Director Lu's nephew was really in love with the publican.

Automobile soldiers are very popular these days. They can drive and repair cars, and every unit is rushing to get them.

Du Fei said, "This matter is not difficult to handle, but the police station doesn't have a car, so all the points at the police station are wasted. I'll go back to Wang Dacheng and ask if they still need anyone there."

Qin Huairou's eyes suddenly lit up. If she could really get Director Lu's nephew to go to the city, then she would show her face.

Although they are both public servants, the city police and the police are of the same quality!

When the time comes, Director Lu will have to take a higher look at her.

With a squeak, Qin Huairou kissed Du Fei hard...

Wait until after eleven o'clock.

Qin Huairou sneaked away despite the light rain.

Du Fei lay on the kang for a while, still thinking about the suitcase he had just taken out from Fangjiayuan Hutong.

Simply go to the ground and take out the suitcase from the carry-on space.

Because the dust on the surface has been cleaned in the portable space, it looks very clean after taking it out.

Du Fei put on his gloves and peeled off the linoleum paper wrapping it, revealing the suitcase inside.

This leather suitcase is small, with a dark brown surface and metal corners.

Judging from the material, it should be copper. It has been placed underground for many years, and a layer of patina has grown on the surface.

And the suitcase

There is also a large area of ​​mold on the surface.

It is estimated that in a few years, this box will be completely rotten.

Du Fei touched it with his hand and found that the moldy parts of the suitcase were no longer strong, and a large piece peeled off with just a little force.

He frowned, and immediately thought of it, he put the suitcase back into his personal space, cleaned it up, and then took it out.

At least don't drop the slag and leave it everywhere, making it difficult to clean up later.

The suitcase is locked with a small lock. Take off the lock and open the suitcase.

The whole thing inside was immediately revealed.

On the left is a pile of US dollars.

All in ten-dollar denominations, one bundle is one thousand dollars.

Du Fei counted them and found a total of forty-five bundles, forty-five thousand dollars!

In addition, there is a surprise.

In the gaps between these US dollars, there are actually big yellow croakers!

Before, Du Fei went into the box through Xiao Hong's vision to check, but because of the angle, he only saw the US dollars and didn't see the yellow croakers.

It was not until he counted the US dollars that he found the bright big yellow croakers in the middle, more than twenty of them!

At the current price of two thousand and two per piece, not counting the US dollars, these big yellow croakers are worth more than fifty thousand.

Seeing this, even Du Fei, who was mentally prepared, couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

This is what it means to say "a man cannot get rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse cannot get fat without wild grass"!

With the addition of these big yellow croakers, he can play more tricks with the "building blocks" in the future.

After fiddling with it for a while, he put all the US dollars and gold bars into his personal space.

Du Fei looked at the other side of the box.

On the top was a 90% new 54 pistol.

He reached out and picked it up. It was heavy. He took out the magazine. There were no bullets inside, and the bolt and the slide were oiled.

It was obvious that it had been maintained in advance for long-term storage.

Next to the pistol was a tightly sealed oil paper package.

After opening it, he saw that there were indeed bullets inside. There were two large packages, about 100 rounds.

Du Fei pulled the slide a few times, and he raised the empty gun and aimed at the window.

Because he had a pistol before, he was not too excited to get another one this time.

After a few gestures, he put away the gun and the bullets.

Below was a notebook.

Du Fei had guessed before that this should be Nohara Hiroshi's diary.

Sure enough, after opening it, it was familiar Japanese again.

After reading more than a dozen diaries before, although Du Fei's Japanese level did not improve much, he understood a lot of Nohara Hiroshi's writing characteristics, so as soon as he opened the notebook, he was sure of it.

He opened the diary and turned to the back to see how much was written in it.

As expected, it was not finished.

Less than one-third of the entire book was used.

Du Fei glanced at the date of the last diary entry.

It was October 1959.

It should be that Nohara Hiroshi sensed some danger and finally decided to change his habit of writing diaries.

But he was still reluctant to destroy the things he had written, so he sealed them up together.

Du Fei roughly flipped through a few pages, just casually.

But at this moment, he suddenly exclaimed "Huh".

In the diary, he accidentally saw a familiar name - Wang Wenming!

Before, Du Fei had always speculated that Nohara Hiroshi's gang had connections with Wang Wenming, and even thought that Wang Wenming was hiding in Tianning Temple.

But after the arrest, it turned out that it was not Wang Wenming.

After that, Wang Wenming was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no movement again.

Until today, he ran into him in Fangjiayuan Hutong.

Du Fei was at least 70% to 80% sure that the man was Wang Wenming.

With this discovery, Du Fei immediately looked carefully and soon found the name "Wang Wenming".

And in the diary, there are many references to Wang Wenming as "Wang Sang".

Through these, it can be determined that before 1959, Wang Wenming and Nohara Hiroshi had a very close relationship for a period of time.

Unfortunately, Du Fei's Japanese is not even half-understood, so he can't find more clues from it.

He secretly thought that he would ask Zhu Ting later to see if she had learned Japanese.

But Zhu Ting should have learned Russian when she was in college.

If she hadn't learned it, let her learn it, just in time for it to be useful in the future.

While thinking, Du Fei temporarily put down the diary and turned to look at the file bag under the diary.

Pick up the file bag and reach out to untie the rope that sealed it.

But with a slight touch, the rope broke directly.

Du Fei frowned, opened the file bag, and poured out the contents directly without reaching in.

As a result, there was a "crash".

With the sound of metal colliding, a pile of silver dollars poured out, about dozens of them.

These are nothing, what Du Fei cares more about is that among these silver dollars, there are two plates.

The surface is bright gold, but some places are bumped, revealing the verdigris.

Copper gilded waist plate!

Du Fei's heart trembled, and he actually saw this waist plate from Prince Qing's mansion again!

It was left by Nohara Hiroshi. Could it be that this devil also studied Prince Qing's treasure at the beginning?

Thinking of this, Du Fei reached out and picked up the two waist plates to examine them carefully. <

br>

Sure enough, it was exactly the same as the one in his hand.

Check the other things poured out from the file bag.

There is also a small notebook the size of a palm.

After opening it, it was written in Chinese characters.

Du Fei couldn't help but read it carefully.

This small notebook is obviously Nohara Hiroshi's memorandum. The content recorded on it is very messy. It is obvious that he wrote down everything he thought of, for fear of forgetting it later.

Du Fei read it and became even more confused.

The content written above did not directly involve the origin of Prince Qing's treasure.

Instead, it was a mixture of all sorts of things.

It recorded many people's names and places of origin, even their home addresses and personal connections.

Among these names, Du Fei found another person - Qian Li!

When I met Sha Zhu and Qian Sanye in the bathhouse, they were bragging and chatting together. Qian Sanye once mentioned that his father was called Qian Li.

Their family was from the Shanpu Camp of the former Qing Dynasty, and his father was a guard in the palace of Prince Qing Yixin.

Moreover, among the interpersonal relationships under Qian Li, Du Fei also found Qian Sanye's name, which was even more correct.

But from this little notebook, what Du Fei found seemed to be useful, but that was all.

The other things were too messy, and it was difficult to connect them without more information.

Du Fei didn't get stuck in a rut, put down the little notebook, and looked at the silver dollars again.

Because they were placed in a relatively humid environment for a long time, these silver dollars were a little black.

At first, Du Fei didn't care, and thought it was just an ordinary Yuan Datou.

But when he picked it up and took a closer look, he found that it was not a Yuan Datou, but a famous silver dollar issued by the British, commonly known as the "Standing Man".

On the front is a standing warrior holding a trident and a Union Jack shield, and on the back is the Chinese character "Yuan".

In fact, this kind of silver dollar was in great circulation in China during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.

It was also a microcosm of the loss of currency power at that time.

But what does Nohara Hiroshi mean by collecting so many "standing people" in this file bag?

It is also placed in a bag with the two waist badges of Prince Qing's mansion and the small notebook. Could it be that these silver dollars are also related to Prince Qing's treasures?

For a moment, Du Fei couldn't figure it out.

He could only put this matter aside temporarily and glanced at the time.

Just now, more than an hour had passed without knowing it, and it was almost one o'clock in the morning.

He had to go to work tomorrow, and Du Fei didn't plan to stay up late, so he started to pack up.

He put these things back in the file bag, even the diary and the 54, all put away.

He didn't plan to keep the remaining suitcase, and planned to find an opportunity to throw it away somewhere farther tomorrow.

However, just as Du Fei picked up the suitcase and was about to put it into his personal space, he suddenly heard a light "clatter" sound from inside.

Du Fei has very sharp ears.

Although the noise was not loud, he still heard it clearly.

Suddenly, he was moved. Could there be something else in the box?

Thinking of this possibility, he immediately checked it carefully.

This time, he simply used a knife to cut open the lining in the suitcase.

Sure enough, a very small interlayer was found at the bottom of the box.

Originally, this small interlayer was made very secret, but because of its age, the fixed buckle was rusted, which made the noise just now.

Du Fei was curious. This box was originally hidden in the secret compartment under the cellar, and it actually had an interlayer.

Opening the interlayer, the space inside was very small, with only a thin envelope.

Du Fei was curious, "It's so well hidden, what could it be?"

But he was more careful and put the envelope in his personal space first.

Clean it carefully to make sure it is not coated with poison, and then take it out.

Carefully open the envelope.

Inside is a yellowed paper.

Open it and see that it is an agreement.

Du Fei looked down directly. The two parties who signed the agreement were Yan Xshan and Sumita Raishiro.

Both of them used brushes and stamped their names and official seals.

This showed that this was a fairly formal agreement.

Du Fei read it from the beginning again and immediately understood what this agreement was.

It turned out that in 1945, before and after Japan surrendered, Sumita signed a secret agreement with Yan Xshan in order to get out of the situation.

He left part of the Japanese First Army stationed in Shanxi to Yan Xshan as mercenaries.

In return, Yan Xshan guaranteed that Sumita's "personal property" could leave Shanxi smoothly.

Seeing this, Du Fei finally understood why the Japanese had lost control of most of the transportation lines in North China, but Sumita could still transport three trucks of treasures to Pingjin smoothly, and even board a ship to go to sea.

In fact, there have been various rumors about the secret deal between Yan and Sumita.

When Sumita returned to Japan, he was severely questioned because of this matter.

He evaded the question by saying that it was a mutiny by the soldiers and that he was powerless to control it.

And because there was no substantial evidence, the case was eventually dropped.

However, the agreement hidden by Nohara Hiroshi was ironclad evidence, enough to be his death warrant.
