Chapter 1061 Tao Xiang's List
There is a clear record in the letter, saying that the place where Liu Dianchen overheard the meeting of senior Japanese military officials was Fengping City in Zhaoyun Province. Fengping City was not only the provincial capital of Zhaoyun Province, but also one of the main power centers of the puppet Manchukuo regime .
Since the secret meeting of senior Japanese military officials was held here, it means that the original treasure was most likely hidden in the mountains near Fengping City. Back then, during the military survey, Fengping was also the center, and this area was regarded as a key area.
However, if you look at the map, you will find a very helpless fact. Fengping City is surrounded by mountains, and there are deep mountains and old forests in the southeast, northwest, and all together, at least thousands of square kilometers.
It's no wonder that the Japanese devils chose this place to build a fortress and buried treasures. It was really difficult to find them!
In the notebook, Tao Xiang's search for the treasure was recorded. Tao Xiang's investigation of treasures is divided into three directions:
First, focus on collecting historical clues.
this point is very important. Over the years, Tao Xiang has consulted countless local historical materials, visited countless villagers, and has been tirelessly inquiring about the treasure.
Tao Xiang's starting point is very clear. He believes that if such a secret fortress really exists, its construction process must be similar to that of Shengshan Fortress. The Japanese devils will definitely use Chinese migrant workers from other places to build it, and after the construction is completed, they will inevitably kill people. Silence, create a massacre of thousands of people.
Therefore, Tao Xiang tried to find such a thousand-man grave to determine the approximate location of the secret fortress.
In addition, he also believes that if the Japanese devils want to keep their secrets, they may commit even more heinous acts, that is - Tucun! ! They want to raze the villages near the fortress, leaving no one alive, so as to prevent the fortress from being discovered by the local people!
Therefore, if you can find a village similar to that destroyed by the Japanese army, you may be able to determine the location of the fortress.
The reason why Tao Xiang took Cui Lizhu to live in the Golden City was because he had received news that many ruins of abandoned villages were found in the mountains outside the Golden City.
However, after careful investigation, he regrettably found that those villages were not caused by the Japanese, but by the deterioration of the environment.
Tao Xiang's second direction is field investigation.
According to the records in Liu Dianchen's handwriting, he went to the scene to search for clues, trying to find clues about the activities of the Japanese army.
For this reason, he purchased expensive professional equipment and learned a lot of professional knowledge. But the scope of helplessness is too large, this method is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack, and finally had to give up.
Just behind Tao Xiang's notebook, there are many schematic diagrams of mountainous areas, most of which are marked with big "X", indicating that the place has been ruled out by Tao Xiang.
As for the third direction, that is related personnel!
Tao Xiang also believed that it was impossible to determine the existence of the treasure based on Liu Dianchen's handwriting. Therefore, he spent a lot of time and used his professional convenience to conduct a detailed investigation of all the people and events related to the treasure.
Over the years, he did find out a lot of intriguing news. For example, after the defeat of the Kuomintang, they still did not give up on the treasure. They sent spies many times to search for it. leaked out.
The copy that Tao Xiang got accidentally was one of the lost copies.
Tao Xiang suspects that the interrogation letter he got should be only a small part of the whole letter, and he can only understand an outline of the process, and there should be more detailed information left in the world.
Secondly, such an astonishing amount of wealth may be located in the Northeast. At the national level, it is also impossible to stand idly by.
Through Tao Xiang's investigation, he can already confirm that since the founding of the People's Republic of my country, many times of searching for treasures have been organized successively. The government sent many famous experts and scholars,
Coupled with advanced scientific detection technology, it has been searched many times before and after, but in the end it was nothing.
In addition, Tao Xiang also received two messages from unknown sources, saying that the Russians and Japanese were also looking for the whereabouts of these treasures.
Regarding these two pieces of news, Tao Xiang feels that the Russians are a little more reliable. After all, they are the ones who suffer, and it is reasonable to still think about gold.
Although the gold may be hidden in China, if found, they still hope to recover it through legal means. More importantly, if they can really find gold from the secret fortress of the Japanese army, they can also prove the fact that the Japanese robbed the gold, and use this to resort to legal means to formally claim compensation from the Japanese government!
As for what the Japanese were also looking for, Tao Xiang thought it was pure nonsense. First of all, the treasure was buried by the little Japanese, of course they know the location of the treasure, do they still need to find it? Secondly, it would be extremely stupid for them to come to China to look for treasures. Even if they found such a huge treasure, what would they do with it? In the end, I can only make wedding dresses for others, but the gains outweigh the losses.
"Tsk tsk..." Cui Lizhu looked at Tao Xiang's notes and smacked her lips, and gradually regained her senses, "Boss, this matter is really difficult! Since our country sent so many experts and failed to find it, then we... "
"Right?" Zhao Yu nodded triumphantly, "I just said, our country can't stand by and watch such a big event! Let me tell you again, maybe those treasures have already been acquired by our country! It's just that It’s just not announced to the public! Because there is a gold dispute, it’s reasonable not to announce it to the public!”
"Alas..." Cui Lizhu patted Zhao Yu's shoulder with her hands like a discouraged ball, "Boss, your level is not low, why don't you ask someone? If there are really no treasures, we will Stop doing useless work, right?"
"Just kidding!" Zhao Yu shook his head. "Am I a fool at my level? Such a huge and shocking treasure, take it easy on me, even the biggest leader of the Criminal Department has no authority to know!"
"That's it... then..." Cui Lizhu asked again, "Just ask who has the right to know?"
"Why?" Zhao Yu stared, "You don't want to go back to your old job, do you?"
"Tsk tsk..." Cui Lizhu was depressed, "Then what should we do? If we go looking for treasures without knowing anything, isn't that the same as being blind? It's meaningless!"
"I don't know the truth yet? Why don't we do this..." As he spoke, Zhao Yu opened the notebook, pointed to the names of many people at the back of the notebook and said, "This is the list of people left by your father. The people on the list, They should all be related to Treasure! You see, some of the names at the top of the list have been numbered X by your father, and only the last few are left!"
"Oh..." Cui Lizhu pondered, "If you put the number X, it means that my father has already investigated it? Then...the ones that didn't put the number X..."
"Look, here are five people who haven't been numbered X," Zhao Yu said, pointing to the list, "Either, it's because your father hasn't investigated them yet; or, these five people are closely related to the treasure and know more Hidden secrets. So..."
"Oh..." Cui Lizhu suddenly became excited again, "Let's investigate these five people now! See what they know? If the treasure has been found, then we can give up! But if we haven't found it ...Hehe... Then you, Detective Zhao, have to work hard!"
