"Oh my God!"
After reading the traitor's letter and Tao Xiang's notes, Zhao Yu and Cui Lizhu were dumbfounded. They exclaimed in unison.
"What do you think? Something big is going to happen, right? " Cui Lizhu pressed her hand against her chest, trying to calm her racing heartbeat. "My hunch … How could it be so accurate? Boss … I've figured it all out now. Apart from researching stealing techniques, my dad is indeed doing something big! "
"That's right!" Zhao Yu sighed. "He is indeed the king of thieves! I can't believe he has such great ambitions! This could be considered the ultimate treasure, right? But, I doubt that even if he finds it, would he dare to swallow it? "
"Even if he dared to swallow it, he wouldn't!" Cui Lizhu said. "I think that if my dad really found it, he would probably hand it over to the state! Ha ha, he would accept the offer of amnesty, just like me! "
"Tsk tsk …" Zhao Yu glanced at the Kun Dui hexagram in his mind. Now, he finally understood how to explain this hexagram.
It turned out that in Tao Xiang's notebook, there was a record of an amazing treasure.
This big event happened because of a theft committed by Tao Xiang 30 years ago.
At that time, he had sneaked into a rich businessman's house and obtained a lot of valuable property. There were also many precious historical manuscripts among the wealth.
Tao Xiang was an expert in business research. In order to determine the value of these manuscripts, he wanted to see how much they could be sold for. He began to study them one by one and read them carefully. Unexpectedly, as he delved deeper into his research, a handwritten interrogation letter from the Republic of China gradually entered his line of sight.
After repeated identification, Tao Xiang confirmed that the interrogation letter was a top-secret document from the military commander. The letter recorded part of the process of the military commander's interrogation of a traitor named Liu Dianchen.
Back then, after the victory of the War of Resistance against Japan, the military commander executed a large number of traitors. According to Liu Dianchen's rank, there was still a big gap between him and those traitors. So, the value of the letter was obviously not good enough.
However, to Tao Xiang's surprise, in the record of Liu Dianchen's interrogation, the main content of the interrogator's interrogation was not about what Liu Dianchen had done to betray the country or how he became a traitor. Instead, it revolved around a mysterious batch of gold and treasures.
Based on the content of the letter, it should be that this traitor had participated in some operations of the Japanese or knew some secrets of the Japanese. The military wanted to investigate this secret clearly. Liu Dianchen had been actively cooperating with the investigation and had even drawn many sketches.
However, according to the content at the end of the letter, it was confirmed that the Military Commander did not get what he wanted after the interrogation, so he had no choice but to secretly execute Liu Dianchen!
Tao Xiang was meticulous. He instinctively realized that the value of this handwritten note was far beyond his imagination! Therefore, he spent a lot of time and energy to study the relevant content.
Later, through the large amount of information he had gathered and the contents of the handwritten letter, Tao Xiang became more and more shocked. A shocking treasure that he had yet to discover gradually became clear in front of him.
If he wanted to understand the whole story, he would have to go back to the distant Anti-Japanese War. At that time, the Japanese occupied the northeast and established the puppet regime of the Manchukuo. On the one hand, they used this to contain the Soviet Union, and on the other hand, they tried to annex the whole of China.
Because it was too far away from the Japanese mainland, they formulated an evil policy of nurturing war through war, using China's resources to serve their war.
Therefore, during the more than ten years of occupying the northeast, they gradually accumulated a huge amount of unimaginable wealth through oppression and exploitation. They used this wealth to make weapons and build an army.
However, their ambition was eventually shattered with the Hiroshima atomic bomb. In 1945, Japan was defeated. They announced their unconditional surrender, and the army withdrew in a hurry.
Because of the sudden defeat, coupled with the intervention of the Soviets, the Japanese had no time to move the huge amount of treasures left in the northeast.
Although some of them were found after the Republic of China government took over, the number was far from enough. A considerable part of the treasures had disappeared.
Therefore, some people said that the remaining treasures had been secretly transported back to China by the Japanese. There was also another saying that the Japanese higher-ups had hidden the remaining treasures in a secret base in order to make a comeback in the future and use them to kill their way back to China.
For a long time, both the government and the people had been unable to come to a consensus about these two theories.
However, the interrogation notes obtained by Tao Xiang clearly showed that the treasure, which had been quietly buried by the Japanese, really existed!
And the person who could prove this was the big traitor, Liu Dianchen!
At that time, Liu Dianchen was the director of the Ministry of Construction of the Manchukuo puppet government. Because of many military construction issues, he had contacts with several troops of the Japanese Kwantung Army, and even had contact with the high-level officials.
During the interrogation, Liu Dianchen had confirmed that at the end of the war, during a meeting between the senior officials of the Japanese Army, he had clearly heard them talking about some treasure plan from outside the conference room.
Later, through various inquiries, he also learned from some secret channels that due to the lack of time, the Japanese had no time to rebuild the place where the treasure was hidden, so they hid the treasure in a place similar to Holmojin Fortress.
The Holmojin Fortress, also known as the Katsuyama Fortress, was a huge military project built by the Japanese Border Garrison in the Tohoku region after the September 18th Incident. They hollowed out the mountain and built a large military fortress, which was equipped with powerful war supplies, as well as military headquarters, war rooms, artillery, and so on.
What was even more hateful was that in order to prevent the secret of the construction of the fortress from being leaked, they captured a large number of Chinese people from other places and let these Chinese, who were not familiar with the local environment, build the project. After the construction was completed, they cruelly shot the workers on the spot! That was how the local "Pit of a Thousand People" came about.
Of course, Shengshan was not the only fortress built by the Japanese in the Kanto area. The other fortresses, such as Dongning Fortress, Hutou Fortress, and so on, were all much larger than Shengshan Fortress.
According to Liu Dianchen's confession, he said that the Japanese had buried the treasure in one of the secret fortresses. This fortress might not be the largest, but it was definitely the most secretive one!
He also said that in order to keep this big secret, the Japanese must have used the policy of killing people to keep their mouths shut. They should have secretly killed all the people involved in the transportation of the treasure. As for the location of the fortress, only those high-ranking officers would know.
In the handwritten notes, Liu Dianchen clearly wrote the names of the senior Japanese officials who might know the secret. However, according to Tao Xiang's notes, the names of these senior Japanese officials were either false, or they had died during the evacuation.
Moreover, Tao Xiang had also heard a piece of bad news after asking around for help. It was said that the senior Japanese officials who participated in the treasure operation seemed to have been assassinated after returning to their country, or on their way back.
