As the prison guards walked out of the high-walled prison in the open, I felt like I was reincarnated. We were taken to a brightly lit prison guard's office, and at the door stood two special police officers with loaded guns and steel helmets.

As soon as I entered this office, the formation inside was even more solemn: there were seven or eight neatly uniformed policemen sitting in front of a round table, and if I looked closely, Ouyang Linna was also among them, also wearing a female police uniform, extremely heroic.

It was only about half an hour before we came out of the morgue, and I had to admire her viability in moving so quickly to gather the team.

Looking at it again, the policeman surnamed Wang, who cooperated with the Chen family to arrest me in this prison, is also in this group of policemen.

After seeing me and Yang Tiancong come in, Ouyang Linna immediately greeted me and stretched out her hand to me: "Mr. Fang, welcome to come." After that, he turned to look at the policeman surnamed Wang, "Director Wang, Mr. Fang is here, what do you think?" ”

Director Wang immediately stepped out, walked towards me with a respectful expression, and said, "Mr. Fang, I'm really sorry, our work is seriously wrong, after our careful investigation, we confirm that you do not have any facts of violating the law or committing any crimes......

That is, I am acquitted. I looked at Director Wang's trivial expression, and then remembered his arrogance when he arrested me...... Well, why should I bother with such flatterers? I shrugged my shoulders and said, "Why did Superintendent Ouyang make such a big fuss in the middle of the night? ”

Ouyang Linna smiled mysteriously and said, "We have already communicated and contacted half an hour ago, Mr. Fang, Mr. Yang, from now on, we hope to get your help!" All the people sitting here are the elites of the No. 1 Mystery Group of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau, and I am the person in charge of this special group. We have kept this conversation extremely confidential, and we hope that you will work together with us to make your own contribution to the country and society. ”

Her words stirred people's hearts, but what was the purpose of her patriotic ideological education at this time? From the outset, I could see that they were not here just to solve a mysterious death. At that moment, I said, "I will do my best to do what I can, but, no matter what the outcome, I hope Superintendent Ouyang will not include my name in any of your reports afterwards." ”

Ouyang Linna and her colleagues looked at each other and said, "Listen to me first." Two of my colleagues and I met you when there was no progress in the investigation of this series of bizarre deaths after more than two years of investigation by the city bureau, and even our special team for the investigation of the mystery case wanted to give up. Many of our comrades here are party members, and we are all atheists, but we urgently need any clues at this time! Mr. Fang, for some reason, I think you are very trustworthy, this may be my intuition, although the truth of the case you explained to us earlier is really difficult for us to accept, those feng shui, yin and yang things, used in the police to solve the case, it seems to us that it is almost ridiculous. However, I'm willing to take a gamble. ”

I nodded, I knew their current state of mind, and if they could find any clues, they wouldn't believe me. The reality is that they can't find even a single clue.

"Mr. Fang, you are very discerning, and you can see that we are not just here to investigate this series of bizarre deaths. The reason why my two colleagues and I sneaked into the morgue is that I am afraid that you will laugh at it: because there are many prisoners who claim that they have seen 'ghosts' around the morgue, with disheveled hair, hideous faces, and white clothes, and those 'ghosts' wander outside the morgue for a while before flashing into the morgue. For this reason, some prisoners were frightened to the point of insanity. Ouyang smiled, "We sneaked into the morgue quietly to investigate that 'ghost', we kept it extremely secret to prevent any news from leaking, just to catch this 'ghost' personally." We are the people's police, and the 'ghosts' in our consciousness will only be those vicious criminals, they are the devils among the people, we are atheists, and we will never believe in the existence of any ghosts and gods. We believe that if the 'ghost' in front of the prisoners really exists, and we can catch him, perhaps, everything will fall into place. As a result, we break through doors at night or lurk around the morgue. Unexpectedly, I didn't catch the ghost, but I ran into your gang. Hehe, this may be fate. ”

The morgue was haunted at night, and I had heard the prisoners talk about it in Class 314. Unexpectedly, these policemen used this as a breakthrough in the case, and I couldn't help but chuckle. These prisoners have lived for years in the shadow of death and ghosts, and how can they be gullible when they say they have seen ghosts? Thinking of this, I said: "The police have started the ghost hunting business, hehe, Superintendent Ouyang, I don't think you are so simple, right?" Perhaps your real purpose lies underground? ”

Ouyang sat down, took a sip of tea, and looked solemn again: "I'll have a showdown." We have demarcated three places to be searched in about three square kilometers of land in this Nanhui township, and this prison farm is our key search place. The series of bizarre deaths in this prison only sends us a signal of search, of course, we are also working hard to solve this case, but we also want to achieve our most important goal by solving this case - we want to find a number of cultural relics and gold lost by the country more than 60 years ago from these three search points we have delineated! ”

Hearing this, I was shocked, and I looked at Yang Tiancong, secretly surprised. Sure enough, these policemen have ulterior motives, and their real purpose is far more than just solving the series of bizarre deaths in prison!

"Artifacts and gold, are they directly related to this series of bizarre deaths?" Yang Tiancong couldn't help but speak.

"I'll give you a brief overview of some historical information. After the Battle of Shanghai in 1937, Shanghai fell under the iron hooves of Japanese imperialism, in the nearly 4 years of occupation, the gold reserve center of the Kuomintang government in Shanghai, the museums, cultural relics center including the temple were looted by the Japanese army, according to the record of the Kuomintang government at that time, the cultural relics and treasures that were swept and looted by the Japanese army are countless, priceless, most of these cultural relics and treasures and gold have been transferred to Japan by the Japanese army, and become Japan's military expenses and the treasures of various museums. However, according to a lot of historical data and the views and opinions of some archaeologists and cultural relics experts, a considerable part of the plundered treasures were not transported to Japan, and still remained in Shanghai, but were transferred by the Japanese army. Ouyang Linna changed her breath and continued, "More than 60 years have passed, no one can verify whether there is still a batch of treasures left in Shanghai, and there is no actual evidence, most of them are the speculations of historians and cultural relics scholars, these historical unsolved cases were originally only spread in a very small circle, but one day in 2004, several household registration police officers of a police station in Zhabei District found some extremely important clues when sorting out a batch of old Shanghai household registration materials and archives, and then transferred them to the Cultural and Historical Appraisal Department of our Municipal Bureau, and finally, Because these clues have to be related to this series of mysterious death cases in prison, our criminal investigation brigade has set up this special team for suspicious cases, which not only investigates the mysterious death cases, but also secretly investigates the clues about the loss of treasures in extreme secrecy. ”

"What important clues did those household registration police find?" I'm curious.

"They found some personal files and materials of a Japanese archaeologist who settled in Shanghai in 1935, and who maintained close contacts with the Japanese archaeological community because he became a Chinese citizen at the time, but still retained his Japanese nationality. He participated in the looting of Shanghai's cultural relics and treasures by the Japanese army from 1937 to 1941. According to his personal diary and some confidential telegrams, we clearly know that there is a batch of treasures still left in Shanghai, and the burial place is in this suburb of Nanhui! Ouyang Linna said this, her words were a little excited, she should be in her twenties, so young, fair and beautiful, she is also a senior commander and right-hand man of the police department, and she is very vigorous and resolute, at her age, it is really surprising that she can have such an old age.

It turned out that the Japanese archaeologist left behind the information showing that after the outbreak of the Pacific War in December 1941, the Japanese army was no longer able to cope with the joint advance of several major fronts, and from this time on, they transported the wealth and treasures plundered in China back to China in batches, and by 1943, the decline of the Japanese army became more and more obvious, and they stepped up the plundering in the invasion area. In November 1943, a group of three Japanese cultural relics expert group came to Shanghai, under the escort of a unit of the Japanese Shanghai Dispatch Army at that time, a group of cultural relics and treasures were secretly transferred to the vicinity of Nanhui Luchao Port, waiting for a Japanese ship to welcome the return home, but unexpectedly, when the United States and Japan were fighting fiercely in the Pacific Ocean, the ship was sunk by the United States on the way to the bottom of the sea, as a last resort, the three Japanese cultural relics experts and some Japanese soldiers had to dig a crypt in the suburbs of Nanhui to bury these cultural relics, Wait for the next ship to arrive. Unexpectedly, the steamers never arrived—as the Japanese were losing ground on various battlefields, they could no longer build up the strength to fight back, and almost all of the Japanese steamers, which started or ended at Japan, were sunk by the Americans in the Pacific Ocean—in retaliation for the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. In August 1945, Japan was defeated and surrendered, and the three Japanese antiquities experts who were waiting for rescue in a crypt on the outskirts of Nanhui did not expect the arrival of the Japanese steamer......

The diary and telegram of the Japanese archaeologist who lived in Shanghai at the time brought the historical records to an abrupt end. The whereabouts of those treasures have become a historical mystery, and the whereabouts of the three Japanese antiquities experts are even more mysterious. Through a series of research and judgment, we know that the treasure must still be near the suburb of Nanhui, and a series of bizarre deaths that occurred at this time further confirmed our judgment! Ouyang Linna stood up and stared at me quietly when she said this.

Hearing this, I once again confirmed my thoughts, if nothing else, Ouyang Linna's thoughts are basically the same as mine.
