It's a pity that I went to the island to look for two days, but found nothing, and even Margaret became impetuous.

Not to mention Philips, this guy is not a patient person in the first place.

Not only did he become short-tempered, but he was also a little suspicious when he looked at Chu Xiangqian's expression.

Fortunately, the four bodyguards were quite calm, and although Norton was also irritable and lacked confidence, he did not blame Chu Xiangqian.

Otherwise, Chu Xiangqian would not have put himself in a dangerous state.

Since he deliberately brought Philips and others to the Twin Islands, Chu Xiangqian naturally prepared in his heart for a long time, and also took precautions.

As for what Philips was thinking, Chu Xiangqian knew it very clearly.

It is nothing more than suspecting that he took them to the Twin Islands, but he is just putting on a show, borrowing their mouths to deny the authenticity of this treasure.

Wait a few years and come back in search of the treasure to be swallowed.

Fortunately, Margaret is really brainless and brainless on her man's side.

It's worth rejoicing in finding the treasure.

can't find it, there is Chu Xiangqian, and it doesn't prevent her from continuing to live a luxurious life.

That's why Margaret doesn't care what Philips thinks.

And every time she found that Philips was looking at Chu Xiangqian with unkind eyes, Margaret would glare back viciously.

Then when he was resting at night, he repeatedly reminded Chu Xiangqian to be careful of Philips and them.

If you can't find it, return early.

Although Chu Xiangqian knew that Margaret had already moved true feelings for him, he was also a little surprised, this woman would be suspicious and defensive even for Philips for herself.

After all, Philips is his brother-in-law.

We have known each other for more than ten years. I didn't expect this chick to stand on her side without a trace of hesitation.

Seriously, Chu Xiangqian was still a little moved.

A woman with a love brain is not all bad, at least when faced with a choice, she will stand firmly on her man's side.

Putting his arms around Margaret, he whispered, "Don't worry, I actually suspected from the beginning that this twin islands is not where the treasure is located." ”

Margaret was stunned for a moment, then listened to Chu Qianqian continue, "Although this island seems small in the sea, it is too strange and attractive to the passing ships.

If it were me, I wouldn't have hidden the treasure here. Lest it be like a curiosity on the island and accidentally find a treasure. ”

Margaret frowned and thought about it, and quickly nodded, there is indeed such a possibility.

But after a few seconds, he frowned and muttered, "If it weren't for this island, where would the treasure be?" ”

Chu Xiangqian knew the result, so it was easy to find a reasonable explanation by speculating backwards from the conclusion.

"Since the purpose of this island is most likely, it is likely to be a coordinate. lest he who hides the treasure will not find it himself.

Then the location of the real treasure should not be far away. It's nothing more than searching the surrounding islands, and you should be able to find clues quickly. ”

Margaret felt that it made sense.

The next morning, when everyone was having breakfast together, Margaret took the initiative to explain, and Philips and others were also excited again.

——

For another two days, two desert islands were searched, and again nothing was found.

Morale inevitably plummeted again, and the atmosphere in the team became more subtle than before.

Chu Xiangqian knew that the patience of Philips Norton and the four bodyguards had reached a critical point.

Only then did he decide to take everyone to the island where the treasure was really hidden.

Chu Qianqian stood beside a few charts, pretending to think for half a night, and finally said that the treasure was likely to be on the island further south.

And from the twin islands, it will certainly not be too far.

Otherwise, even the island leader back then would not be able to guarantee that he would be able to find the treasure island straight after sailing for twenty or thirty hours.

This time, even if Philips and others objected, Chu Xiangqian also drove the boat south.

When he arrived near Treasure Island, Chu Qianqian pretended to hold a telescope and looked at it for a while.

He exclaimed suddenly, and then pointed to the sea ship on the island, which was covered by greenery and large trees, covering most of the hull, but the stern and mast could still be faintly seen.

Philips took the telescope in Chu Xiangqian's hand.

After a closer look, I really saw the mast.

At this time, everyone was excited, and when they calmed down, they admired Chu Xiangqian.

After successfully landing on the island, Chu Xiangqian saw that Philips let his two bodyguards take the lead, and he didn't think much about it at first, just thinking that Philips just wanted to show more value.

But when the two bodyguards occasionally squatted on the edge of the grass to check it, they quickly understood.

Chu Xiangqian is a hunter himself, or a hunter who has gained game skill bonuses.

Of these two bodyguards, one of them must also be hunters who are well-versed in survival and tracking in the wild.

Of course, special forces will actually learn this, but Arthur, the ace bodyguard, is obviously not as proficient in this aspect as the other two.

Chu Xiangqian immediately realized that Philips was still doubting himself.

But it doesn't matter, it's even better for yourself to let the two bodyguards go first.

The presence of these two professionals proves that for a long time, no one landed on the island.

Since the treasure is still in an undiscovered state, it proves that Chu Xiangqian did not let people come over in advance.

When you see that there are only some treasures, bronzes and scattered jewels abandoned by pirates back then, it can only be said that there is no treasure at all.

The treasures that were stolen from the Celestial Empire may have been taken away by pirates more than a hundred years ago.

Hiding that sailboat on this island is nothing more than a backup vessel, and not wanting to be discovered.

lest they invite the French to retaliate.

Either that or that the ship was snatched without a large amount of treasure on board.

After all, this ship, after leaving the Celestial Empire, also went to Australia.

Maybe by then, most of the looted treasures had been left in Australia.

It took more than an hour for everyone to see the full picture of the sailboat.

Not only Chu Xiangqian was amazed, but how did this sea ship, which has a displacement of at least 500 tons, be dragged onto a cave at an altitude of dozens of meters.

Philips, Norton and others are also puzzled.

In the end, I really couldn't think of it, so I could only let go of the mind of pursuing the truth and speed up the pace up the mountain.

Needless to say, how excited I was when I climbed the ship, and how disappointed I was when I looked around and didn't find the boxes containing a large number of treasures.

The people searched the sea boats and caves several times.

In the end, when a dozen bronzes, dozens of porcelain, and scattered jewels were placed together in the open space, his expression was a little disappointed and angry.

Philips looked at his two bodyguards, the two shook their heads, and one of them took the initiative to say, "I guess that someone will find this treasure dozens or hundreds of years in advance."

Or, the pirates of the year, came back and took the treasure with them. ”

After speaking, he also glanced at Chu Xiangqian, and saw that he was also looking at himself, and couldn't help but think of Chu Xiangqian's offer to give 10% of the 4 bodyguards to himself.

The secret channel is still clear to Philips, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

"I will judge this way, based on the dust on the ground when I entered the cave and the sea ship before, it is true that no one entered the cave and the sea ship a few months or even years before me and the others."

Talking about a few months or a few years is nothing more than not wanting to say it too bluntly, which can be regarded as saving face for Chu Xiangqian.

Philips naturally moved the meaning of his bodyguard, and the footprints of a few years ago can be seen, and the footprints of a few days or ten days ago are even more impossible to hide.

Depressed and disappointed, he subconsciously remembered how Chu Xiangqian found this island.

Hurriedly looked at Chu Xiangqian, "Stark, what now?" ”

Chu shrugged forward, "When Norton first came to me with the information of the treasure, I felt that even if this treasure was real, there was a high probability that it would be taken away in advance. ”

Then he pointed to the sea boat, "This ship, although we don't know how to drag it up to a cave dozens of meters high, but the only thing that is certain is that it will definitely need a lot of manpower."

Since this is the case, it shows that there will be no shortage of people who know about this treasure. ”

Everyone understood as soon as they heard it, and the large number of people who knew it meant that even if this group of pirates encountered a naval battle afterwards, as long as one of them survived, they would 100% try their best to come back and take the treasure.

Philips began to curse after hearing this, and after venting, he was still unwilling, saying that everyone was looking for it separately.

Maybe the pirate leader has hidden a treasure in secret and didn't let his subordinates know.

Chu Xiangqian was stunned in his heart, Philips's guess was really correct.

But he said, "Margaret and I won't go, lest we encounter a poisonous snake or something." ”

Philips and Norton were stunned.

But after thinking about it, Chu Xiangqian was not short of money.

And if you know that you are being suspected, if you act alone, maybe it will be even more unclear.

As for poisonous snakes, it is now May, and the weather in the Indian Ocean is already hot, so you really have to be careful to guard against poisonous snakes and poisonous insects.

Thinking like this, Philips also began to worry about his own life and looked at his two bodyguards.

These two people are actually not reconciled, after all, this island must have been a treasure hiding place back then, and it is indeed possible to find other hidden treasures.

As for letting Chu Xiangqian and Margaret go back to the yacht first, not to mention Philips and Norton, even the four bodyguards didn't agree.

This is equivalent to handing over his life to Chu Xiangqian, and Margaret can't beat Chu Xiangqian.

Even this woman was fascinated by Chu Xiangqian, and even her brother-in-law began to distrust, and she would take the initiative to help her drive the boat away.

Soon, the two Philips bodyguards made some preparations and went out separately to look for them.

Chu Xiangqian didn't pay any attention to the people who were looking for him to the south, because the huge log was in the woods on the west side of the cave.

But after thinking about it in my heart, I still let the, from time to time, fly around and stare at the person who is going south.

In case there is more to the island than just the gold hidden in the log.

If you think about it, since the pirate leader of the year hid the gold in the logs, it is indeed possible that there are treasures hidden elsewhere as well.

Thinking like this, Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Fortunately, if I came to the island alone, it was most likely that I would have scavenged the things on the ship and taken away the gold hidden in the logs, and then I would leave directly.

In the movie Zodiac, the plot only talks about gold and bronze, which means that it is indeed impossible to deny whether there are other hidden treasures on the island.
