"Then … What are these?" Cui Lizhu asked in surprise.
"I'm not too sure about the specifics. Hmm …" Zhao Yu shrugged. "Of course, this is what Fa Luo said. He doesn't know much himself. After all, they're all paid to do this, so of course they won't ask.
"But Fa Luo is not an ordinary person. He said he could make a rough guess. He knew very well that their goal wasn't gold or treasure, but these … things …"
Zhao Yu pointed at the screen. At that moment, the staff had finished checking the secret room and were cleaning up the items.
"Please!" Li Jing said. "Don't Fa Luo, Fa Luo, it's uncomfortable to hear! The Chinese translation of Fiona is Fiona! "
"Fiona?" Zhao Yu rolled his eyes. "A woman? This … "
"Maybe …" Cui Lizhu said, trying to smooth things over. "International criminals like to mix up genders?"
"No!" Li Jing said seriously. "The Malay Peninsula and the Irian region of Southeast Asia all like to use the names of Christian saints. So, the pronunciation of Fiona can also be Fei-Ou-Na!"
"Well, I won't call him Fa Luo then. Anyway, it was Fei-Ou-Na who said it," Zhao Yu said. "He said that the treasure referred to in the treasure plan should be all kinds of confidential documents and information from the period when the Japanese Army was occupying the Northeast. These documents cover various fields, including weapons, biochemistry, and bacteria, as well as many scientific research results and technological inventions …"
"Oh …" Everyone was surprised and held their breath.
"So," Zhao Yu said. "I'm worried that there might be some kind of virus or biochemical weapon. That's why I asked for it to be quarantined before opening it!"
"Oh …" Everyone nodded. Although it sounded a little exaggerated, Zhao Yu's words made sense. When faced with such unknown things, they needed to be very cautious.
"Of course, I think …" Zhao Yu spread his hands and said, "Since someone is willing to pay such a high price to buy these things, there must be a lot of very powerful things in there, right?"
"Yes!" Miao Ying said. "For example, the infamous unit 731. Perhaps, some of the evidence of their crimes is also here?"
"Wow … Human experiments!" Cui Lizhu said, crossing her arms. "No wonder there are so many bottles and jars in there! There must be some powerful virus in there, right? "
"It's not impossible!" Zhao Yu nodded. "Since the criminals wanted to blow it up, I'm afraid that they wanted to destroy the evidence, right?"
"That's not all …" Li Jing said, looking at the monitor screen. "Although that was more than 80 years ago, many of the Japanese Army's scientific experiments were world-leading. Even today, they are not outdated! Perhaps, these things are still of great use and value! "
"The criminals' goal of blowing it up might be the same as the secret base!" Li Jing said meaningfully, "He just doesn't want us to get the real 'treasure' and benefit from it!"
"So, whether it's in terms of proving the inhumane crimes of the Japanese Army or the importance of the information itself," Xiao Hang said excitedly. "We have won a great victory, right?"
"Aiyo …" Cui Lizhu didn't care that Miao Ying was right next to her. She held Zhao Yu's arm affectionately and exclaimed, "Boss, you are really awesome this time! To be able to thwart the evil enemy's plot and turn the tide, I don't know how to praise you anymore! "
"Don't say that!" Zhao Yu said seriously. "Who told me to be an upright and selfless person? Although I risked my life to turn the tide, was brave and fearless, and made outstanding contributions, the credit belongs to everyone. It cannot be separated from everyone's cooperation, hehe … "
Seeing that Cui Lizhu was being so intimate with him, Zhao Yu glanced at Miao Ying worriedly. However, Miao Ying was unable to hide her excitement. She looked at Zhao Yu encouragingly, completely ignoring Cui Lizhu's intimacy.
"But …" Cui Lizhu suddenly thought of another important thing. "If the treasure isn't a treasure at all, but just a code … then … what about the gold from back then? What about the rare treasures that the Japanese plundered? Is there still a chance …? "
"No!" Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Zhao Yu's eyes suddenly dimmed, and he said with a sigh, "Fa Luo … Hmm … Crippled Ouna has already said it, and he was very sure … He already knew the whereabouts of the gold …"
"Huh?!" Hearing this, everyone was shocked again. Their eyes were filled with an indescribable light of hope.
"The gold …" Zhao Yu looked up and said, "It has long been used up by the Japanese. It was used in the war, as well as in the Great Leap Forward after they entered the developed world. Not a single bit of it can be found!
"Furthermore, those so-called rare treasures are basically nonsense. Back then, in the chaos of war, those treasures had long been lost through various channels, so …"
"Huh?" Xiao Hang suddenly felt disappointed. "In other words, for the past 80 years, all our efforts have been in vain? The gold treasure trove simply doesn't exist? "
"Yes!" Zhao Yu said. "The higher-ups of the Japanese knew about the gold. In fact, the truth of the matter is far from what the rumors say. Back then, the Japanese did get their hands on a batch of Russian gold, but that batch of gold was actually less than 100 tons! "
Zhao Yu said. "The reason why there were 600 tons of gold later was mainly because the owner was eager to find the treasure, so he made up a rumor. The purpose was to make the Japanese suspicious of each other, so that they could find out where the gold had gone! "
Zhao Yu said helplessly. "But in fact, once the gold was obtained, it was quickly used up in the war, so it was impossible to find it again! Zhao Yu said helplessly. "So, the missing gold and the treasure plan in the later part of the war are two different things!"
"That is to say …" Li Jing nodded regretfully. "What we have been searching for for 80 years is actually just a code name for their operation! This is really … really … "
For a moment, Li Jing couldn't think of any words to describe her feelings at the moment.
"That Fei Ouner said," Zhao Yu said, "that the news of the Japanese's defeat came too quickly. They were worried that the Russians or Chinese would intercept the important information, which would be very troublesome. So, they didn't dare to risk sending them back to their country.
"But the information was so important that they couldn't bear to destroy it!"
Zhao Yu said. "So, in desperation, they came up with this treasure plan. They hid all the important information and documents in a secret place, waiting for the day when they could make a comeback!
"Actually …" Zhao Yu paused. "Apart from the fact that it wasn't the gold, the rest of the story is pretty much what we guessed!
In order to keep the secret, the enemy didn't hesitate to kill the soldiers who buried the treasure. In the end, only the most important high-ranking officers knew about it. "
"In order to remember the location of the buried treasure, they even used a Russian nesting doll and a kaleidoscope to make two sets of treasure maps. Only by pointing the kaleidoscope at the Russian nesting doll could the exact location of the buried treasure be revealed! "
"But what I didn't expect was that during the great defeat, a shell would hit a plane without any deviation. In the end, the few high-ranking officers who knew about this were all on that plane, all of them dead. In the end, they only had a kaleidoscope left!
