In the middle of the night, Zhao Yu and Cui Lizhu were still busy at their desks. The two of them were both excited and nervous. They didn't know what they could find in the box left by Tao Xiang.
Cui Lizhu had carefully cut open the outer skin of the leather box with a knife and was checking the inside of the box, trying to find any hidden clues.
Zhao Yu checked the items in the box one by one, as well as the ancient books and Tao Xiang's notes.
"Boss …" Cui Lizhu looked at the surface of the leather box with the magnifying glass function of her mobile phone. She asked curiously, "Do you think my dad's plan has anything to do with gold? I've heard him mention it many times! "
"Really?" Zhao Yu said, looking at the book carefully without looking up. "In my opinion, it's normal for a king of thieves to mention gold often, right?"
"Hey?" Cui Lizhu began to let her imagination run wild again. "Boss, boss, do you think my dad found some big secret? For example … Golden City isn't just a random name. Is there really gold buried in the city? "
"No, it seems …" Zhao Yu put down an ancient book and picked up another notebook. "I heard from Miao Ying that the real origin of the Golden City is the golden chrysanthemum outside the city!"
"No," Cui Lizhu said quickly. "When I was in school, I heard that the Yellow Turban Army built the city there after they withdrew to the north! Tell me, the Yellow Turban Army caused such a ruckus back then. Did they leave behind some important treasure? Did my dad find clues about these treasures? "
"Lil Cui …" Zhao Yu pursed his lips. "Although I am the one who discovered the Golden Buddha treasure, I can tell you responsibly that there aren't so many treasures in this world. Besides, the Yellow Turban Army was in the Eastern Han Dynasty. "Zhao Yu couldn't figure it out, so he simply said," How many years has it been? Where can I find it? "
"It's only 1800 years!" Cui Lizhu said. "I know that the history of the Golden City is not longer than the Ming Dynasty, but … History is not absolute! What if there was an ancient city 1800 years ago, but it disappeared later? Maybe my dad got some kind of inspiration … "
"Wait …" Before Cui Lizhu could finish, Zhao Yu suddenly interrupted her, then pointed to a black notebook in his hand and asked, "What is this?"
"Hmm?"
Cui Lizhu hurriedly put down her work and came forward to take a look. She saw that Zhao Yu was holding an ordinary-looking notebook, but when she took a look at it, she couldn't help but be stunned.
"Boss, I seem to have some impression of this book …" Cui Lizhu recalled. "When I was in the Golden City, I saw it on my dad's desk. I think … I think it's this book. He used a ruler to draw a picture on it …"
"Is that so? These … "Zhao Yu opened the book and saw that the first dozen pages of the book were not handwritten, but photocopies. Zhao Yu moved closer to take a closer look and saw something was amiss. "Oh … These copies are glued to the booklet! What … is this thing? "
"It seems …" Cui Lizhu looked at it carefully and guessed, "It seems to be someone's memoir or letter or something. The words are old, and the paper … seems to be from a long time ago … Is it rice paper for drawing? "
"It doesn't look like it …" Zhao Yu touched it and found that the paper was very soft and thin. Originally, he wanted to use the Invisible Identification Device to identify it, but he was soon attracted by the words on the paper.
The words were all traditional Chinese characters, and there were some annotations written in red below the words, as well as some symbols. Obviously, those annotations had been drawn by Tao Xiang.
Cui Lizhu's eyes were sharp, and she immediately pointed to one of the words and said, "See? Gold … Look here … "She pointed to another place and said," It's gold! "
Zhao Yu also noticed the word "gold." He turned a few pages and found that the frequency of the word "gold" was very high, almost every page.
"Oh my God! Is it really gold? "Cui Lizhu was surprised and excited." My dad … What is he looking for? "
"Look here …" Zhao Yu recognized a few more words. "These two words say treasure!"
"Gold treasure!" Cui Lizhu grabbed Zhao Yu's shoulder excitedly and said, "Boss, this time we are playing with fire again! My dad … He has been looking for gold treasure! "
Although Zhao Yu hadn't found anything yet, he also felt that it was not a trivial matter. He immediately turned to the back of the book and saw that there was no more old paper, but Tao Xiang's notes.
Although Tao Xiang's handwriting was not very formal, it was very beautiful and clean, which made it easy to read at a glance. On the last few pages, there were some drawings and maps, which confirmed Tao Xiang's use of a ruler.
"Here …" Zhao Yu turned the book back to the end of the old paper and finally found a name at the end. "Liu Dianchen!?"
"Liu Dianchen …" Cui Lizhu pointed to a small line of words behind the name and said, "These words are torture notes … I know torture, but what is a handbook?"
"Are you asking me?" Zhao Yu snapped his fingers. "What are you waiting for? Why don't you look it up online? "
"Yes, yes …" Cui Lizhu hurriedly turned on her mobile phone and went online. Within ten seconds, she had found the answer. She said in surprise, "What the … Liu Dianchen is a traitor!"
"Ah? Traitor? "Zhao Yu wondered." Why is there another traitor? "
"Look … It's written here!" Cui Lizhu pointed to her mobile phone and read aloud. "During the Anti-Japanese War, this person was the director of the Ministry of Construction of the Manchukuo government, the chairman of the People's Union, and several chambers of commerce. After Japan surrendered, this person was arrested by the military and later secretly executed."
"Huh? Strange … "Cui Lizhu frowned." I don't know if the name on the handbook is the traitor. There are many people with the same name! "
"No …" Zhao Yu carefully looked at Tao Xiang's comments and said, "Look, there are words of torture on it. I think it's the same person! The interrogation record of the traitor? Um … Cui Lizhu, what is a handbook? "
"A handbook means a handwritten letter," Cui Lizhu replied. "But I don't know what a handbook of torture means! Could it be a letter written by the criminal when he confessed his crime? "
"The traitor … Gold treasure? The Manchukuo government? The Manchukuo government refers to the northeast of our country, and the Golden City is in it. Could it be … "
"Tsk tsk …" Cui Lizhu said excitedly. "Could it be that the last thing my dad wanted to say to me was this? He found it … Um … "
"This batch of treasure …" Zhao Yu also guessed excitedly. "Could it be related to the Japanese?"
