"Your phone is amazing!" After the call, Xiao Hang couldn't help but praise it. "We're trapped in a place like this, but there's still a signal?"
Zhao Yu wanted to tease him, but extreme fatigue made him sit back down on the ground and lean against the wall. He didn't take the phone.
"Captain!" Xiao Hang said to Li Jing. "Don't worry, our people are already outside the cave. They're already contacting experts to design a plan. I believe it won't be long before we get out!
"Also, Yang Kai and Ah Yong are both anesthetized, so they should be fine!" Xiao Hang said. "I've already followed your instructions and asked them to search! It's raining heavily outside, so maybe the masked man didn't go far. We still have a chance to catch him! "
"Okay!" Li Jing said. "We've made preparations for both sides, so you can rest assured!"
Then, Li Jing gestured to Zhao Yu and said with concern, "Leader Zhao, you don't look well. You should get some rest!"
"Sigh!" Zhao Yu closed his eyes and sighed heavily. "What I'm worried about is that there wasn't an explosion here, so it's bound to disrupt the masked man's plan. If he stops here, it'll be difficult to investigate … "
"Boss …" Cui Lizhu took Zhao Yu's arm and said seriously, "I've been thinking about something! You see, they've already found the secret base, right? Then …
"Why did they want to lure us here?"
"Because of you, of course!" Xiao Hang said, waving his hand. "Can't you see? We've been keeping a close eye on you, so they couldn't find a chance to do anything, so they lured us here! "
"Yes!" Cui Lizhu said, spreading her hands. "Isn't it ridiculous to capture me for a Russian nesting doll?"
"Um … So … Little girl, what are you trying to say?" Xiao Hang frowned.
"I mean, the treasure isn't here at all!" Cui Lizhu said. "They must have found this place a long time ago and searched everywhere, but they couldn't find the treasure!
But instead of finding the treasure, they found a clue about it, and this clue was related to the Russian nesting doll! " Cui Lizhu became more and more excited as she spoke. "Then … they started investigating and finally found out that the Russian nesting doll had been stolen by my dad!"
"And your father is already dead," Xiao Hang continued. "That's why they're keeping an eye on you. They want to find out the whereabouts of the nesting doll from you!"
"Smart!" Cui Lizhu snapped her fingers. "So, the truth is obvious. The real clue to the gold treasure is hidden in the nesting doll!
"Aiya! Fate really makes a fool out of people! " Cui Lizhu slapped her thigh. "If my deduction is correct, it means that my dad was so close to the treasure, but he didn't notice it!
"As for me … I'm just playing with the treasure clue in my hand. I'm so depressed!" Cui Lizhu was going crazy. "If I had figured it out earlier, I would be the richest person in the world by now! How comfortable would that life be? "
"Hmph …" Li Jing retorted coldly. "You're right. But you said it yourself that Tao Xiang had destroyed the nesting doll. I suspect that we won't be able to find any clues just by looking at the photos! "
"That's right!" Xiao Hang scratched his head and asked Cui Lizhu, "Little girl, think about it carefully. Is it possible that your dad was just messing with you? That the nesting doll might not have been destroyed? "
"Impossible!" Cui Lizhu shook her head. "I wasn't young then. I know that the Russian nesting doll has no value as a collector's item. I don't even know why my dad would want to steal such a thing."
"This is getting interesting!" Zhao Yu leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and said, "Where did Tao Xiang steal the nesting dolls? As the king of thieves, why would he steal such a worthless thing? "
"It was …" Cui Lizhu rolled her eyes and tried hard to recall. "At that time … there were a lot of antiques with the nesting dolls. Although they weren't very valuable, they were obviously not my dad's style!"
"Oh …"
Zhao Yu suddenly opened his eyes and said in unison, "Oh!" Then, he and Cui Lizhu said in unison, "Old expert!"
Both Li Jing and Xiao Hang were stunned.
"This thing … was stolen from an old expert's house!" Zhao Yu's eyes widened.
"Yuan Juncheng was the last to be killed …" Cui Lizhu clenched her fists in excitement. "So …"
"Yuan Juncheng was an antique dealer and an antique expert!" Zhao Yu said, gritting his teeth. "So, the nesting doll could have been his and Tao Xiang stole it!"
"But the criminals didn't know!" Cui Lizhu shook her fists. "They didn't even know which expert had the nesting doll. That's why they used the truth serum one by one and killed them to keep the secret! "
"In the end, they got the answer from Yuan Juncheng, but this answer made it more difficult for them. The nesting doll had been stolen!" Zhao Yu said. "They had no choice but to find out who stole it. Then they found Tao Xiang, and then they found you! Oh my God, does this Russian nesting doll really contain the secret of the gold treasure? "
"It must be! Otherwise, how could they have made such a big fuss? "Cui Lizhu grabbed Zhao Yu's arm excitedly." Boss, use your detective skills! The treasure … The treasure is about to appear! Just give me a little bit and I'll be satisfied! "
"Wait a minute …" Zhao Yu suddenly thought of something and reached for his phone.
"Here!" Xiao Hang was stunned by this amazing way of solving the case. He hesitated for a second before handing the phone to Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu grabbed the phone and quickly opened the file. He found Yuan Juncheng's information and said quickly, "I remember that Yuan Juncheng didn't report the theft. The reason he didn't report it must be because there was a problem with the way he obtained the relics!"
"Boss!" Cui Lizhu hurriedly reminded him. "I was still in the Golden City in 20xx. You just have to look at that time!"
"Understood …" Zhao Yu quickly looked through Yuan Juncheng's information and quickly found what he was looking for. He quickly handed it to Cui Lizhu and asked, "Look, is this it?"
"Yes! Yes! " Cui Lizhu only glanced at it and said with certainty, "This red one is the nesting doll!"
Huh?
Li Jing and Xiao Hang were shocked. They quickly went forward to take a look and saw that it was a photo of Yuan Juncheng's daily life. The photo showed his study, and on the bookshelf next to it, in an inconspicuous position, was a red object. It was the Russian nesting doll!
"Here …" Cui Lizhu pointed to the other items on the bookshelf. "This, this, and this, all of them were stolen by my dad!"
