The light in the wine cellar wasn't very clear, so the two of them carried the suitcase upstairs and examined the items one by one under the table lamp.
Zhao Yu's persistence was mainly due to the Kun Dui hexagram. Dui represented treasure, so Dui and Kun together must have been indicative of something.
Under Zhao Yu's insistence, Cui Lizhu felt that there was more to the suitcase. While she was combing through the items, she told Zhao Yu seriously,
"At that time, when my dad said that he left me this house, it was already very difficult for him. After all, his head was seriously injured, so not only did he speak very slowly, but he also took a long time to think.
He first told me the password to start the house, my fingerprints, and the specific location of the house. When he told me the location of the box in the wine cellar, his mind was already showing signs of disorder … "Zhao Yu said.
"He told me intermittently that the box was filled with things from the past. He wanted to say something, but when he said that, his condition suddenly worsened. He kept gesturing with his fingers, as if he had something important to say to me, but he couldn't say it no matter how hard he tried.
"I was afraid that something bad would happen to him, so I kept trying to comfort him and let him rest. He grabbed my hand and muttered something, but I couldn't understand what he was saying!
"Not long after, the alarm on the monitor went off. The doctor came in to save him, but my dad died very soon …" Cui Lizhu recounted sadly. "When my dad left, I felt empty. How could I have the mood to think about so many things? But now that I think about it, he did have something to say to me! "
"And …" Zhao Yu nodded. "What he wanted to say must have something to do with this box!"
"Yes!" Cui Lizhu nodded. "You're right. If it was just some worthless old things, my dad wouldn't have hidden it so well, right? Inside … "
Cui Lizhu looked at the outer cover of the box carefully, wanting to confirm if there was any hidden space in the box.
"Lizhu," Zhao Yu reminded her. "Think about it carefully. Have you ever seen this box before?"
"Well …" Cui Lizhu touched her forehead and tried to recall, but still shook her head. "I don't have any impression of it! But … I'm not too sure. Perhaps I saw it when I was very young, but I can't remember it! "
Zhao Yu pointed to the items in the box and said, "Well … Let's calm down and analyze them first … Some of these things belong to you. Your toys, your pencil case, your photos, and so on …"
"The other part belongs to my father, Tao Xiang!" Cui Lizhu nodded. "His things are basically books and notes!"
"Alright, we'll remove your stuff for now!" "So … What can you remember from the rest of Tao Xiang's things? Have you seen these things before? "
"I …" Cui Lizhu looked at the things inside and recalled. "Some of the books look familiar! When I was young, I often saw him bending over his desk and reading at night. He would bend over his writing desk and draw something. Sometimes, he would work until late at night. Sometimes, he would even work through the night! "
"Wow! Zhao Yu shook his head. "No wonder he became the king of thieves!"
Cui Lizhu pointed to one of the notebooks and said, "Although my father has no fighting ability, he is no worse than you when it comes to persistence!" Cui Lizhu pointed to one of the notebooks and said, "Take this for example. I took a quick look at it. It's for the Toshiba E3 safe! Can you think of that? My father has developed a total of 27 ways to open this kind of safe by force! "
Cui Lizhu said. "Maybe you don't have any idea now, but more than ten years ago, this kind of safe was known as the safest safe in the world. Many masters of this kind of safe were defeated by this kind of safe! But my father had 27 ways to open it. What do you think? Do you see the difference? "
"Wow!" Zhao Yu nodded. "The king of thieves is indeed the king of thieves! I even began to believe that he could rob a community with half a bag of instant noodles! "
"Boss!" Cui Lizhu frowned and said, "Why do I always feel like something big is going to happen?"
"Oh? Really? " Zhao Yu glanced at the word "Kun Dui" on the system interface and thought to himself, How can this girl's intuition be so accurate?
"What a coincidence! I also have the same feeling! " Zhao Yu said calmly. He then pointed to the box again and said, "In fact, if we analyze it carefully, we may have a chance to solve this puzzle."
"How do we solve it?" Cui Lizhu pointed to the things in the box and said, "At the very least, we have to look at all of these things, right?"
"No, no!" Zhao Yu said confidently. "A great man once taught us that we must look at the essence of a problem! Cui, the answer may lie in you! "
"What? Cui Lizhu's eyes lit up and she praised, "This great detective really has an extraordinary aura!"
"Look …" Zhao Yu spread out his hands and asked, "If we want to see the essence of this thing, then the first question we have to ask is, if Tao Xiang really has something important to do with this box, what do you think it would be?"
"This …" Cui Lizhu thought carefully.
"As you said, Tao Xiang even told us about the murder and the location of the treasure. So … What other secrets could there be?"
"Well …" Cui Lizhu thought carefully about Zhao Yu's words and replied after more than ten seconds, "It seems that there is nothing else."
"But … Have you heard of the saying?" Zhao Yu reminded her again. "The more important the thing, the more it should be left for the last! Don't you think that maybe the third thing should be more important than the first two? "
"Murder … Is there anything more important than murder?" Cui Lizhu shook her head, then guessed uncertainly, "Does my dad have any unfulfilled wishes? Does he want me to help him finish them? "
"Um …" Zhao Yu thought about it and nodded. "That may be a good idea! But, he is the king of thieves. What unfulfilled wishes could he have? Is there a safe that he hasn't cracked? Or, is there a rare treasure that he hasn't stolen? "
"Um … How about … Hey?" Cui Lizhu suddenly jumped up excitedly. "Do you think my dad deposited a huge sum of money in a Swiss bank and wrote the withdrawal password in these books?"
"Oh, what are you thinking?" Zhao Yu said disdainfully. "Is your dad stupid? If he really had an overseas deposit, he could have just told you. What are you doing? Leaving a riddle for your own daughter to solve before you die? "
Cui Lizhu frowned. "Besides, even if he really had an overseas deposit, I don't think it would have anything to do with me. It's better if he didn't! "
"Then …" Zhao Yu thought about it. "What else could it be besides the above two? What could be more important than murder and treasure? "
"Um … That …" Cui Lizhu suddenly thought of something, then clapped her hands and said, "I just said that my dad had some unfulfilled wishes, right? I think … I think I really remembered something! "
"Tell me, what did you remember?" Zhao Yu asked.
"When I was young, I wasn't very young. At that time, in the Golden City! Yes, when I was in the Golden City … "Cui Lizhu tried to recall." At that time, my dad really seemed to be studying something. He mentioned something about nationality and regret many times. I remember that in the cold winter, when it was snowing, he still had to go into the mountains to investigate something. Sometimes, he would go for a long time.
Later, when we left, I often heard him mention the name of the Golden City! I've had this feeling since a long time ago, that besides stealing things, he's always been planning something big!! He had been planning something big for many years, but he had never succeeded! "
Cui Lizhu shook her head and sighed. "Whenever I asked him, he never told me! He only told me that he would tell me when I grew up in the future!"
