Chapter Seventy-Five: Looking for Clues Outside the Gate
Time passed unconsciously, and the sky gradually brightened. Since receiving the call back from Nanjing, Hong Yu has not been sleepy at all, and has continued to analyze the situation in Suidong through the information on the telegram. When the first rays of sunlight shone into Hong Yu's study, Hong Yu came back to his senses and stretched his waist to stand up.
Tang Xingye knocked lightly on the door, walked in from outside, and asked, "Brother Yu, you haven't slept all night?!" ”
Hong Yu nodded and handed the telegram to Tang Xingye. Tang Xingye was stunned, took the telegram, and looked at it carefully. After about a quarter of an hour or so, Tang Xingye put down the telegram, looked at Hong Yu, and said, "Brother Yu, it seems that the situation in Suidong is more complicated than we imagined. ”
"yes!" Hong Yu nodded, and then said: "In addition to the Japanese, bandits, the Anti-Japanese Alliance, the remnants of the Northeast Army, and our personnel, there are also local forces in Suidong. I didn't know if I stepped on this foot, but I didn't step on it, and I stepped on the mud. ”
Tang Xingye asked, "Brother Yu, the trip to Suidong?!" ”
Hong Yu laughed and said, "Even if it's a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I'm going to break through this time." ”
After two busy days, Hong Yu explained what he was doing and left Beiping alone. Four days later, Hong Yu quietly appeared on the streets of Chengde. Looking at the sparse pedestrians, Hong Yu took out a small silver box from his pocket, took out a strip of meat from it, put it in his mouth, and walked to a café not far away while chewing.
Walking into the café, Hong Yu found a window seat and sat down. The waiter walked up to Hong Yu and asked, "Sir, what kind of coffee do you want?!" ”
Hong Yu replied, "Have a cup of Blue Mountain." ”
"Sir, please wait a moment!" With that, the waiter turned and left. It didn't take long for the waiter to walk up to Hong Yu with a tray, put the cup in front of Hong Yu, and said, "Sir, please use it slowly!" ”
Hong Yu nodded slightly, picked up a small spoon and stirred it in the coffee, picked up the coffee and drank it while looking at the scenery outside.
At this time, a woman in her twenties walked in from outside, walked to the bar, and asked, "How's business today?!" ”
The waiter replied, "Boss, business is not very good!" Until now there is only one guest. ”
The woman frowned slightly, looked at where Hong Yu was sitting, and said to the waiter, "I'll sit there later, and you can bring me a cup of coffee." ”
"Yes!" The waiter answered, and watched the woman walk towards where Hong Yu was sitting.
Hong Yu put down the coffee cup, turned his head to see the woman standing in front of him, and asked with a smile, "Miss, is there something wrong?!" ”
The woman replied with a smile: "My name is Murong Yue, and everyone who knows me calls me Yue." Can I sit here?! ”
Hong Yu looked around, shrugged his shoulders and said, "It doesn't matter, you can sit if you want!" ”
"Thank you!" Murong Yue sat down opposite Hong Yu, and it didn't take long for the waiter to come over with coffee, put it down, and left quickly. After the waiter left, Murong Yue then asked, "Sir, you don't look like a local. ”
"Yes! I'm from Peking to visit relatives. It's a pity that after a long walk, the relatives were not found. Saying that, Hong Yu quietly took out a ring from his pocket, quietly put it on the little finger of his right hand, picked up the coffee cup on the table, and drank the coffee elegantly.
Murong Yue picked up the spoon, stirred the coffee, and just picked up the cup, suddenly saw the ring on the little finger of Hong Yu's right hand, his eyes suddenly lit up, he quickly calmed down, picked up the coffee and drank it slowly, put down the cup, and said, "The atmosphere in Rehe has not been very good recently. It's possible that your relatives can't stand the atmosphere and move! ”
"Really?!" Hong Yu stared at Murong Yue intently.
Murong Yue replied with a smile: "Probably! I still have some connections in Chengde, do you want me to help you find it?! ”
Hong Yu nodded slightly and said, "That's a good idea!" But I get it. After that, Hong Yu raised the coffee cup and said, "I replace wine with coffee, thank you!" ”
Murong Yue picked up the coffee and asked, "What are you thanking me for?!" ”
"Thank you for the idea." With that, Hong Yu took a sip of the coffee in the cup.
Waiting for Hong Yu to put down the coffee cup, Murong Yue laughed and said, "It is worthy of being Mr. Hong's son." Sure enough, there is courage. Then he changed the conversation and said, "I know the purpose of your visit to Rehe. You and I are our own people, I know more than you, I advise you not to wade into this troubled water! ”
"Oh?!" Hong Yu was slightly stunned for a moment and asked, "Can you tell me what you know?!" ”
Murong Yue nodded, glanced outside through the glass window, and said, "This batch of treasures was secretly brought out of the palace when Yi Yi abdicated, and there are about thirty boxes. This batch of things had been stored in Tianjin. Since the establishment of the puppet state of Manchukuo, Hui Yi wants to get rid of his fate as a puppet and intends to form his own troops. ”
Hearing this, Hong Yu frowned and asked, "How stupid would a person be to watch Yu Yi do this?!" ”
Murong Yue chuckled lightly and said, "If it weren't for the fact that the treasure matter was too big this time, it is estimated that the people of Japan would not have discovered Pu Yi's attempt." ”
Hong Yu continued: "As far as I know, things finally disappeared in Suidong. Do you know which force did it?! ”
Murong Yue replied, "To be honest, I'm also investigating this matter. But it's a clue. If it weren't for the ruthlessness of the Japanese people this time, they mobilized troops to carry out a large-scale clean-up of the Suidong area. The carts carrying the treasure and the people who escorted them were going to rot in the ground. ”
"Oh?!" Hong Yu asked, "Where did they find it, do you know?!" ”
Murong Yue nodded and said, "Northeast of Suidong, about twenty kilometers away from Tongliao. However, it has now been cordoned off by the Japanese. Even if you have a pair of wings, you can't fly there. ”
"Thank you!" Hong Yu beckoned to the waiter. The waiter walked to Hong Yu's side, glanced at Murong Yue with some apprehension, and asked, "Sir, what are your orders?!" ”
Hong Yu said: "Check out! In addition, this young lady's coffee is also counted in my account. ”
"Yes!" The waiter saw Murong Yue nodding, and left without saying a word. It didn't take long for the waiter to walk up to Hong Yu with the tray and hand the bill in the tray to Hong Yu. Hong Yu looked at the bill, smiled and took out a handful of silver dollars from his pocket and put them in the tray, and said, "The extra is your tip." ”
"Thank you, sir!" The waiter walked away briskly with the tray.
Hong Yu stood up and said to Murong Yue with a smile: "My name is Hong Yu, and I am very happy to meet you. It was a pleasure to talk to you today, and I hope we will have a chance to chat in the future. Good bye! With that, Hong Yu left quickly. Looking at Hong Yu's departing back, Murong Yue smiled and muttered, "What a strange man." ”
After leaving the café, Hong Yu saw that it was not too early, found a restaurant to eat something, and then found a hotel to stay.
Near Suidong, deep in a woods, an abandoned nest.
"Big boss! Not good! Something happened! ”
The big boss put down the wine bowl in his hand and yelled at the people who ran in: "Liu Huzi, what are you howling, howling and hurting?!" ”
Liu Huzi said anxiously: "Big boss, we are busy in vain. The cars and people buried in the ground were all found by the little devils! ”
"What?!" The big boss was taken aback and said, "We are hiding so secretly, how did we be discovered by the little devils?!" ”
Liu Huzi came to the side of the big boss and said, "I heard that it was Ma Datou who told the secret. ”
The big boss was stunned and asked, "How did Ma Datou know that we buried things there?!" ”
Liu Huzi made a bitter face and said, "I don't know this either." I originally wanted to find an opportunity to ask Ma Datou, but there was no one in Ma Datou's family. Nine times out of ten, Ma Datou was worried that we would get in trouble with him, so he slipped away. ”
The big boss stroked his very neatly trimmed beard under his nose, and said secretly in his heart: "Since the matter has come to this point, it seems that it is impossible not to be ruthless!" Thinking of this, the big boss soothed: "What if Ma Datou sells us?!" After a while, when the rumors outside have passed, I will take you to the south, and then we will live a human life with those treasures, eating fragrant and drinking spicy food. ”
After sending Liu Huzi away, the big boss took out a small porcelain bottle, found a jar of wine that had not been opened, sprinkled the powder in the small porcelain jar into it, resealed the wine jar, shook it, made a mark and put it on the side.
After staying in Chengde for one night, Hong Yu returned the room early, rushed to the train station, bought a train ticket to Xinlitun at the earliest, and entered the waiting hall. After waiting for half an hour, Hong Yu got on the train. Just as the train was about to leave, Murong Yue appeared in front of Hong Yu.
Hong Yu saw Murong Yue who suddenly appeared, and said with a smile: "So coincidental?!" Miss Murong, we met. ”
Murong Yue sat down with a smile and asked, "Where are you going?!" ”
Hong Yu replied, "Xinlitun." ”
"What a coincidence?! I also went to Xinlitun. Saying that, Murong Yue took out a cigarette from her handbag, looked at Hong Yu and asked, "Do you want one?!" ”
Hong Yu shook his head and said, "I don't smoke. As he spoke, Hong Yu took out a strip of meat from his pocket and put it in his mouth. Murong Yue lit a cigarette, took two puffs, and suddenly asked, "Your relatives went to Xinlitun?!" ”
The corners of Hong Yu's mouth curled slightly, and he replied with a smile: "No! I just wanted to check it out. I heard that the scenery there is good, and there is a temple near Xinlitun, which is very spiritual, and I want to go and worship. ”
"I didn't expect you to believe this." Saying that, Murong Yue threw the cigarette butt in her hand to the ground, stepped on the cigarette butt with her foot, didn't say anything more, leaned back in the chair, closed her eyes, and recuperated.
Near noon, the train arrived at Chaoyang Temple. Hong Yu glanced at Murong Yue, who was closing his eyes and recuperating, stood up with a smile, and left his seat.
After Hong Yu left, Murong Yue opened her eyes, glanced at Hong Yu, who was shopping on the platform, and continued to close her eyes.
