Chapter 1063 (1/2)
It is clearly recorded in the letter that the place where Liu dianchen overheard the meeting of senior Japanese officials was Fengping city in Zhaoyun province. Fengping city was not only the capital of Zhaoyun Province, but also one of the main power centers of the puppet Manchukuo regime.
Since the Japanese senior officials held a secret meeting from here, it shows that the original treasure is likely to be hidden in the mountains near Fengping city. In that year, when the juntong investigation was conducted, Fengping was also the center and this area was regarded as a key area.
However, if you look at it on the map, you will find a very helpless fact. Fengping city is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there are deep mountains and forests in the southeast and northwest, all of which are counted together, at least thousands of square kilometers.
It's no wonder that the Japanese would choose this place to build a fortress and bury treasures. It's really difficult to find it!
In his notebook, Tao Xiang's search for the treasure was recorded. Tao Xiang's investigation on the treasure is divided into three directions:
First, collect historical clues.
This is very important. Over the years, Tao Xiang has consulted countless local historical materials and visited countless villagers. She has been tirelessly listening to the news about the treasure.
Tao Xiang's starting point is very clear. He believes that if there is such a secret fortress, its construction process must be similar to that of Shengshan fortress. The Japanese devils will certainly use Chinese migrant workers in other places to build it. After the construction is completed, they will also kill people and kill people and create a thousand people's pit tragedy.
Therefore, Tao Xiang tried to find such a thousand person pit to judge the general location of the secret fortress.
In addition, he also believes that if the Japanese devils want to keep a secret, they may commit a more heinous behavior, that is - tucun!! They should flatten the villages near the fortress without leaving any living mouth, so as to avoid the fortress being found by the local people!
Therefore, if we can find villages similar to those destroyed by the Japanese army, we may be able to determine the location of the fortress.
Tao Xiang took Cui Lizhu to settle in the golden city because he had heard that he had found the ruins of many abandoned villages in the mountains outside the golden city.
However, after careful investigation, he regretted to find that the villages were not caused by the Japanese, but by environmental degradation.
Tao Xiang's second direction is field investigation.
According to the original records of Liu dianchen's letters, he went to the scene to find clues and tried to find clues about the activities of the Japanese army.
Therefore, he has purchased valuable professional equipment and learned a lot of professional knowledge. But the scope of helplessness is too large. This method is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Finally, we have to give up.
Behind Tao Xiang's notebook, there are many schematic diagrams of the mountains, most of which are marked with a big ”X”, indicating that this place has been excluded by Tao Xiang.
As for the third direction, that is the relevant personnel!
Tao Xiang also believes that it is impossible to determine the existence of the treasure just by relying on Liu dianchen's letter. Therefore, he spent a lot of time and made use of his professional convenience to conduct a detailed investigation on all personnel and events related to the treasure.
Over the years, he did find out a lot of intriguing news. For example, after the Kuomintang's defeat and escape, they still didn't give up on the treasure. They sent spies to look for it many times. Not only did they find nothing, but they accidentally leaked out the secret of Liu dianchen's letter.
