Hence, Zhao Yu, Miao Ying, the two old experts, and the Taoist priest whose original name was Yuan Shucai, were all under the control of Li Xiusheng and the rest, walking towards the east side of the General Ridge.
Li Xiusheng knew that the Taoist priest was skilled in martial arts, so he handcuffed Yuan Shucai's arms behind his back. As for the two old experts, he simply tied them up with a rope.
In order to prevent Zhao Yu from taking advantage of them, he purposely let Zhao Yu walk at the front of the group, and arranged for Miao Ying to be at the back, so that they would not have any chance to communicate.
Actually, ninety percent of the reason why Zhao Yu claimed that he knew the location of the treasure was to buy time. He knew clearly that if he didn't say so, he, Miao Ying, and the rest would have been like the other grave robbers, dead.
His idea was to look for an opportunity while they were on the way to find the treasure. After all, he still had the Universal Unlocking Device, Invisible Night Vision, and Invisible Breathing Device in his device bar. If he could find an opportunity, he might be able to help them escape!
However, judging from the current situation, the cautious Li Xiusheng obviously wouldn't give Zhao Yu such an opportunity. Not to mention saving Miao Ying and the two old experts, it would be difficult for him to escape!
What should I do?
What should I do …
Just as Zhao Yu was thinking of a solution, Li Xiusheng suddenly spoke.
"Police officer, if I guessed correctly, you wouldn't want to bring me to the cave where they found the suicide note, right? Why, could it be that … you think the treasure is hidden there? "
"Mm, what?" Zhao Yu was stunned, and slowed down his pace. He didn't expect Li Xiusheng to have such a sharp sense of smell. It had only been half an hour, and he had already figured out Zhao Yu's trick.
"Hehe …" Li Xiusheng looked fierce and said, "The Taoist priest and the rest have already searched the cave. If there was really a treasure, would he have ended up like this?"
Li Xiusheng's words made everyone stop. Some of them even pressed their fingers on the trigger of the pistol. The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.
"Mm …" Zhao Yu blinked and immediately said, "That's right, Master Li. The treasure is hidden in the cave! The Taoist priest didn't find it, but it doesn't mean that I can't! "
Hearing Zhao Yu admit it, the Taoist priest sighed heavily, while the faces of the two old experts turned pale.
"As far as I know," Li Xiusheng said angrily, "Qiu Cheng's descendants once lived in that cave for many years to avoid the war! If the treasure was hidden in that cave, wouldn't they have found it long ago? Don't forget, they have the treasure map in their hands! "
"Well … It happened hundreds of years ago. How would I know?" Zhao Yu shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly.
"You!?" Li Xiusheng glared at him and shouted, "Zhao Yu, from what I see, you are just trying to buy time! Fine, then I'll kill your girlfriend first. Let's see if you still dare to play tricks! "
"Shh … Shh!" Zhao Yu quickly stopped him. "Li, why are you so hot-tempered? I'm telling the truth. I don't know what Qiu Cheng's descendants think, but we detectives believe in the truth! "
Hearing Zhao Yu's sudden turn of events, everyone's curiosity was piqued. They wanted to hear what Zhao Yu had to say.
"General Ridge, Jade Stone Slope, Millennium Pine. There was a clue missing after the Millennium Pine," Zhao Yu explained. "Because the scripture that wrote the clue was lost, the Taoist priest and the others didn't find it! But, they found the other two clues. One was the Crescent Moon Pit, and the other was the Raindrop Stone!
"Well, the reason why the Taoist priest and the others didn't find the treasure was because the Millennium Pine was gone. They couldn't find it!" Zhao Yu glanced at the Taoist priest and said, "Since they couldn't find the Millennium Pine, they could only look for the later ones. Then … they could only look for the Crescent Moon Pit, right?
"But, a crescent moon pit, where could they find it? After hundreds of years, it might have been filled to the brim. I'm afraid there's nowhere to find it, right? "
As Zhao Yu said this, he suddenly paused and glanced at the crowd.
Everyone obviously heard what he said and stared at Zhao Yu with their eyes wide open.
"But!" Zhao Yu's sudden turn of events gave everyone a shock. "In this, all of you have overlooked the most basic problem! That is, between the Millennium Pine and the Crescent Moon Pit, what clue is missing?! "
"You …" Li Xiusheng couldn't help but creased his eyebrows and urged, "Can you stop beating around the bush? What do you mean? Hurry up and say it! "
"Look!" Zhao Yu said, "From General Ridge to the bottom, isn't it arranged in descending order? So, as long as we follow the order of the treasure map and find the Raindrop Stone at the end, it would be considered a success! But, would it be that simple? Qiu Cheng wasn't a fool. He wouldn't just find a random place to hide such an important treasure!
"If the Crescent Moon Pit and the Raindrop Stone were so easy to find, the treasure would have been found long ago!" Zhao Yu explained seriously, "So, let's look down according to this order. If the Crescent Moon Pit is behind the Millennium Pine, what do you think? What do you feel?"
"What?!"
Everyone still didn't understand.
"Alright," Zhao Yu said honestly, "I'll tell you the truth! Actually, I don't know what the clue between the Millennium Pine and the Crescent Moon Pit is … "Without waiting for everyone to panic, he quickly made another turn," But, but … I know, it must be a … cave!!! "
"Cave?" Although Li Xiusheng felt that Zhao Yu's words were vague, he couldn't refute him.
"Yes! It's a cave! " Zhao Yu said affirmatively, "Just like a crossword puzzle, if the Crescent Moon Pit is next to the Millennium Pine, then there is no need for another clue in the middle! Since there is another clue, think about it yourselves. Other than a cave, what else could be more suitable in the middle? "
"Mm …"
"Mm …"
After Zhao Yu finished, everyone was deep in thought. After a while, they finally understood what Zhao Yu meant.
Indeed, if there was another clue between the Millennium Pine and the Crescent Moon Pit, then a cave would be the best answer!
"Wow …"
Hearing Zhao Yu's new reasoning method, Li Xiusheng's underlings all looked at Zhao Yu strangely. Not only was Li Xiusheng impressed by Zhao Yu, but even the Taoist priest couldn't help but stare with his eyes wide open, reflecting on something.
"But …" Li Xiusheng thought for a while, then creased his eyebrows and said, "Alright! Even if there is a missing cave, there is more than one cave in the General Ridge. How are you so sure that the treasure is hidden in the cave where the will was found? "
"About this!" Zhao Yu rolled his eyes and hurriedly said, "The old experts found the will in the hands of an ancient corpse, right? At that time, the corpse was at a very high place, so the corpse wasn't taken away by beasts. That's why it was preserved since the Ming Dynasty!
"So …" Zhao Yu said. "All of you, think about it. Why would a dying man climb so high?"
Oh?!
Zhao Yu's question caused an uproar again.
"Oh …" Li Xiusheng asked confusedly, "You mean, the treasure is near the corpse?"
"Hehehe …"
In fact, Zhao Yu really thought so. Just as he was about to share his thoughts with a smile, the Taoist priest next to him couldn't help but speak.
"Hey, kid, don't look down on me?" The Taoist priest said coldly, "Do you think I don't know how to look near the corpse? Let me tell you, there is nothing there! "
"You!" The Taoist priest's words were undoubtedly a blow to Zhao Yu's head.
Obviously, the person that the Taoist priest hated the most was Zhao Yu, who ruined his plans. If he could overturn Zhao Yu's reasoning, it would be equivalent to giving Li Xiusheng a reason to kill Zhao Yu.
"Yeah?" Li Xiusheng raised his eyebrows and said, "The Taoist priest is the most authoritative person in the industry. They have metal detectors and remote sensing devices. If the treasure is really hidden there, there is no reason that they can't find it, right?"
