"It seems like … all the clues have been sorted out!" Zhao Yu said. "When Yuan Juncheng was investigating the treasure, he had close contact with Tian Zheng …"
"I think that, be it in terms of timing or logic, the nesting doll should have been obtained from Tian Zheng!
"Tian Zheng is a descendant of the Japanese Kwantung Army, and his ancestor was a high-ranking Japanese official. This nesting doll could have been passed down from his family! But no one knows how important the matryoshka dolls are. "
"Yes! It's very likely! " Li Jing said. "The Secret Service has its own rules. Although it wasn't illegal for Yuan Juncheng to buy antiques from Tian Zheng, it was still against the rules.
"So, even though Yuan Juncheng was robbed, he didn't dare call the police!"
"There's no point in calling the police!" Cui Lizhu stuck out her tongue. "He didn't know that it was my dad who patronized him!"
"The Japanese Kwantung Army, Tian Zheng, Yuan Juncheng, Tao Xiang, and then the mysterious masked man and his criminal organization!" Zhao Yu said. "All these people must have been connected by the Russian nesting doll!"
"That's strange …" Cui Lizhu didn't understand. "Why would the Japanese hide their secret in a Russian nesting doll? It sounds neither fish nor fowl! "
"Maybe the best disguise is to pretend to be the enemy!" Xiao Hang began to express his opinion. "Look, when Japan was defeated, the Russian army was the biggest threat to them!
So, they hid the clue in a Russian thing so that it wouldn't arouse suspicion! "
"That makes sense!" Cui Lizhu nodded. "Plus, there are five layers to the nesting doll, which increases the concealment of the clue. No one would know which layer the clue is hidden in."
"So …" Li Jing sighed. "The treasure is probably not in this secret base. So … where could it be?
"I'm worried that since Tao Xiang destroyed the nesting doll, the secret of the treasure may never be revealed!" Li Jing said worriedly.
"Yeah, 80 years of hard work may go down the drain!" Xiao Hang was also a little demoralized.
"Don't say that," Cui Lizhu said. "The masked man is looking for it so anxiously. That means there's still a chance!"
"There's one thing I'm sure of!" Zhao Yu said. "The initiator of this incident must have something to do with the Japanese!"
"Oh?" Li Jing looked up. "Is it because of that idiot?"
"No!" Zhao Yu gestured to the base in the distance. "This base is the best proof. The base was left behind by the Japanese. As for the location of the base, only the Japanese would know!
"Now, in order to find the treasure, they are even willing to expose this secret base. It looks like … they are determined to get the treasure!"
"That's right. That's why we need to find that photo as soon as possible and uncover the secret behind the nesting doll!"
As soon as Cui Lizhu finished speaking, the lights in the passageway suddenly flickered. The brightness was obviously much weaker than before.
From the looks of it, it wouldn't be long before all the lights were extinguished, and the entire underground base would return to darkness.
"Ah … hero …"
At that moment, Zhao Yu's phone rang again.
When Zhao Yu saw that it was Li Luoyun, he quickly answered.
"Hello? Officer Zhao? " Li Luoyun said anxiously. "I just looked into it. The evidence of Tao Xiang and Cui Lizhu is no longer in the Jinping Police Station!"
"Huh? What? "Zhao Yu was surprised." Where is it? "
"Because of the Headless Female Corpses Case and Tao Xiang's treasure," Li Luoyun answered. "Everything was transferred to the Nanjiang Provincial Office!
"I just asked in detail. The evidence has been stored in the Bai Ling Criminal Police Unit!"
"D * mn!" Zhao Yu creased his eyebrows. "How could I have forgotten about that!"
"My level isn't high enough, Sifu!" Li Luoyun said. "If we were to apply for it, it would take a lot of effort, so …"
"I understand! I'll call Bai Ling right now! "Zhao Yu said and was about to hang up.
"Oh yeah, Sifu …" Li Luoyun suddenly added. "Although the evidence has been transferred, we took a photo of every piece of evidence.
"If everything goes according to plan, we should be able to find the photo you mentioned in the electronic file!" Li Luoyun said. "I've already sent someone to look for it. Once it's found, I'll send the photo to you immediately!"
"Alright, do it as soon as possible! But … "Zhao Yu said." Although the evidence isn't with you, just in case, you'd better follow the original plan and set up the trap. See if you can find anything unexpected! "
"Understood!" Li Luoyun said. "Don't worry! The police station isn't a game. If they dare to come, I guarantee that they won't be able to leave! "
"Alright!" Zhao Yu hung up the phone in relief. Then, he briefed Li Jing and the others, then quickly called the leader of the Bai Ling Police Station.
Because of the Headless Female Corpses Case, Zhao Yu was familiar with all the leaders of the Bai Ling Police Station. Although it was already late at night, he still called the leader of the Bai Ling Police Station.
When the bureau chief received Zhao Yu's call, he didn't dare delay. He immediately assured Zhao Yu that he would check the evidence and start the surveillance.
Just as he hung up the phone, the document that Li Luoyun sent arrived. They had found the electronic record and sent the picture of the nesting doll to Zhao Yu.
What the …
Li Jing and Xiao Hang's eyes turned red when they saw that Zhao Yu's phone was working smoothly and that he could even receive documents. They tried their own phones a few times, but there was still no signal.
"That's right, that's the one!" Cui Lizhu moved closer to Zhao Yu and pointed at the picture on the phone. "My dad combined the two pictures into one. There's both the front and the back!"
Oh …
Zhao Yu zoomed in on the picture and looked at it carefully. Other than the bright color, the nesting doll was almost no different from an ordinary Russian nesting doll.
There were five layers of nesting dolls, one smaller than the other. The largest was only one size bigger than a thermos cup, and the smallest was no bigger than a fist.
"The Russian nesting doll is also called a lucky doll. It looks simple, but the craftsmanship is very exquisite! Especially the wood used. The tree has to be cut down at a special time and then dried for five to ten years before it can be used. During the production, it has to go through fifteen processes, such as hollowing, stamping, and inlaying … "
"Oh …"
Zhao Yu looked at the picture carefully and saw that the five nesting dolls were almost identical. They were all cute Russian dolls dressed in red traditional clothing. There was nothing special about them.
"How is it, boss?" Cui Lizhu asked hopefully. "Did you find anything?"
"What the … Do you think I'm a god?" Zhao Yu rolled his eyes.
"Zhao Yu!" Li Jing quickly said. "We have a special decryption team in the Secret Service Department. Since we've got the picture, why don't we send it to them?"
"Okay!" Zhao Yu nodded and was about to pass the phone to Li Jing when it rang again.
Looking at the caller ID, Zhao Yu frowned and had a bad feeling.
He didn't expect it to be Li Luoyun again!
"Hello, Master!" Li Luoyun's panicked voice came through the phone. "Bad news! Someone from the technical department just told me that an unknown image suddenly appeared in the electronic backup. Our system might have been hacked!
