Chapter 437 [Malaysia]
This treasure map is the military police brigade of the Japanese headquarters that occupied Malaysia to eliminate the armed forces of those Japanese called terrorist organizations, and the gold obtained was actually the military salary and the purchase of weapons raised by some anti-Japanese warriors.
But it was buried by the Japanese in a dilapidated Catholic church, which is a bit interesting, because Malaysia is a *** country, but Malaysians are very complex and relatively open to freedom of belief.
So in this *** country, you can see Catholic churches, it's not surprising at all, the Japanese do things in great detail, don't look at this map, it's not big, but it records the exact time and place where the treasure was buried, where is it hidden? What the treasures are very, very clear.
What makes Yang Nianzhong feel the most interesting thing is that the Japanese are too cautious, this treasure is all gold without anything else, and the total weight is one ton, which is not the most incredible thing is that the Japanese gendarmerie actually wrapped these gold bricks with clay, and then entered the brick kiln to fire them into bricks.
These bricks wrapped in gold bricks were used to build the dilapidated Catholic church, and of course, the Japanese were ruthless enough to block the news, and almost all the brick-makers who built the church were killed and used to block the news.
The most ruthless is not these, the most ruthless is actually the captain of the gendarmerie, who was instructed by his superiors to put all the Japanese gendarmes involved in this operation to hide a ton of gold with a poison 12 people died, and only the captain of the gendarmerie survived, but the captain of the gendarmerie also knew that he could not escape death.
Through his own connections, he found a silversmith who made this very strange-looking cross, hid the map he wrote in it and hung it around his neck, this gendarmerie captain was originally a Catholic with a cross around his neck, and there was no problem at all.
Sure enough, the day after the map was hidden, the gendarmerie captain died mysteriously, and the Japanese army took all the relics of the gendarmerie captain and carefully examined them for nothing missing. There were no flaws, so these things were handed over to the family of the gendarmerie captain, and the official explanation was that the gendarmerie captain died of malaria treatment.
In this way, the family of the gendarmerie captain has no way to get into trouble with the government, because malaria is a very serious infectious disease, as long as it is confirmed that he has malaria, it is normal to die if he is cured or not, and the family of the deceased cannot be buried and burned because the source of infection is controlled, so the family has no way to question the transportation of the ashes.
And this silver cross was kept in the hands of the family of the captain of the gendarmerie, so let's just briefly explain how this treasure map came about? Hiding a ton of gold, as for how the family of this gendarmerie captain lived after World War II, Yang Nianzhong was not interested at all.
Seeing that this map is hidden so carefully and so well-made, it doesn't look like a fake, and the captain of the gendarmerie, the Catholic church that was destroyed by the war on the flip top, is still erected in a small town in Malaysia and has become an old local building, which is more convenient for Yang Nianzhong to start.
He studied the map until midnight, when Yang Nianzhong took a shower and went to bed, and flew directly to Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei, early the next morning, and met Paul George at the airport. The two of them hugged each other very happily, and Paul George looked a little haggard, but his spirit was very good, and his eyes were shining.
As soon as he saw the eyes of this greedy Paul George, Yang Nianzhong knew that his Ford Model T was marketable, and if he didn't find a buyer, he wouldn't have a large amount of cash in his account. Paul George, this old fox, can he be so happy? Yang Nianzhong was also very happy to be able to sell the car and get a lot of cash in front of his wallet.
The two of them behaved very low-key, took a taxi from the airport to live in the city, and after eating a meal of local halal food in a small hotel restaurant, the two came to the room, muttered and discussed for more than an hour, and that afternoon, Paul George took a plane and left.
After all, Paul George is the president of Sotheby's in Asia, and now it is the final end of Sotheby's spring auctions.
And the Ford Model T that Yang Nianzhong transported to Japan by sea will take three days to complete the test, and then it will be repacked and shipped to the ship, and it will take a few days for the capital of Brunei, and Paul George can't afford to delay.
So he could only leave Yang Nianzhong in the local area, he went back to work by himself, and Yang Nianzhong didn't care, he was very happy to send Paul George away, and he stayed in the capital of Brunei for two days, and then Yang Nianzhong quietly walked out of the hotel in the name of going out for an excursion, of course, the room was not returned.
In order to make things easier, Yang Nianzhong specially signed up for a tour group, crossed the border between Brunei and Malaysia, and came to a very small coastal city in the Malaysian state of Sarawak, called Bintulu. Despite the strange name, the city is not large and has a very small population, but it has a very small airport that can take off and land regional airliners.
I found a very nice hotel and stayed there, and the next morning Yang Nianzhong met the Malaysian translator he had hired at great expense, a young American named Eric. Eric is 27 years old and has been in Malaysia for 5 years, so he is very familiar with the local language and living habits.
Yang Nianzhong's external identity is that the young man who came to Malaysia from the United States to start a business has tens of thousands of dollars in his hands and wants to do business, so he wants to find a good building as a warehouse in the local area and sell some daily necessities.
Looking at the comparison of the money paid by Yang Nianzhong, Eric helped Yang Nianzhong with this favor, and the two of them went to the suburbs early the next morning to find a suitable location for the warehouse.
I searched and found an abandoned, Catholic church in the suburbs, but the main building of this church was converted into a public bicycle storage place by the locals.
The ownership of this church belongs to the local government, and the bicycle parking lot is just for the convenience of residents.
What's more, Yang Nianzhong, an American young man, is quite generous, and the price spent in order to win this public bicycle parking lot is not small, and a lot of money is spent in proportion to work efficiency.
In the past, the more you spend, the more the government staff will do things for you, and in less than three days, Yang Nianzhong rented it for a period of ten years, and the rent was paid in Malaysian ringgit.
In US dollars, it should be 3,000 US dollars per year, which is quite cheap, because this abandoned Catholic church was built during World War II, and it is particularly dilapidated, and to be honest, if it is not renovated, it will not be used as a storehouse.
Therefore, after Yang Nianzhong rented this Catholic Church again, he began to hire the local construction team to demolish all the dilapidated houses except for the bell tower, and even the foundations and laid the green bricks were dug out, and these green bricks were Yang Nianzhong's goal.
