Tanaka stood in the treasury for a while, his heart aching as if it had shattered into countless pieces. This wealth did not belong to him alone, but to nearly 60 percent of the funds raised for their entire national immigration plan, and to the wealth amassed by more than a dozen privileged families.

Tanaka looked at the empty space before him. He knew he absolutely couldn't let anyone else know about this, or they would force him to commit seppuku, and his family would be expelled from the government. He had to get his lost property back as soon as possible.

Zhuang Yihao has ordered the butler to thoroughly investigate all the surveillance videos in the castle over the past few days, leaving no suspicious points unchecked.

Mr. Tanaka then came to his side and said, "Only you and I know about the treasure vault, and also about that woman from last night. Tell me, where is that woman now?"

As Zhuang Yihao listened to Mr. Tanaka's words, he mentally cursed him a thousand times. He was so angry that he almost laughed. If this man didn't have a special fetish and like to play with women on the golden bed, how would outsiders know about the existence of the treasure vault?

Zhuang Yihao said coldly, "That woman has already been dealt with according to the usual practice. Even if she was the one who leaked the information, it is impossible to verify it now."

"Only the two of us have the key to the vault. Even if we want to open it, we both have to do it at the same time. I have already checked inside the vault. The lock and the walls are all intact and there are no signs of being pried open."

"Zhuang Jun, you remain the prime suspect!"

Tanaka is now fixated on Zhuang Yihao. Even though they were partners for many years, when it comes to such an important matter, he can't convince himself to exonerate Zhuang Yihao. If it's not his fault, then he's the one being implicated.

Zhuang Yihao looked coldly at Tanaka: "Tanaka, if you continue like this, we'll ask our superiors to send someone to thoroughly investigate this matter. Whether I'm guilty or not, I believe they'll be able to verify it soon."

Tanaka looked at the coldness in Zhuang Yihao's eyes and remained silent for a long time, but the expression on his face gradually softened.

They waited until evening, but the housekeeper's investigation yielded no useful information.

They selected thirty-seven people who had had close contact with the treasure vault during this period.

Thirteen people were Zhuang Yihao's distinguished guests who had spent some time with him in the study. The remaining twenty-four people were the castle's servants and owners, as well as Li Ke, who had been locked in the wine cellar by Qin Mingyue for more than two hours.

They also carefully searched the wine cellar and compared the traces. The traces left by the servants and Li Ke showed that neither of them had approached the wall of the treasure vault.

Moreover, the iron gate of the vault is equipped with an alarm system connected to the castle. If anyone applies force to the iron gate in an attempt to open it using a method other than what is programmed, the alarm will be triggered the moment the force is applied, alerting everyone in the castle.

The thieves' methods left Zhuang Yihao and Tanaka completely baffled. They now suspected that the sudden disappearance of the treasures in the vault might have been a trap set by the United States.

Zhuang Yihao ordered that all suspected servants be investigated further and then dealt with accordingly.

As for the guests who had already left, Zhuang Yihao ordered people to follow up and investigate them.

It is clear that no problems were found in the wine cellar, and the video footage outside the wine cellar door is complete and clear, so Li Ke's suspicion has been temporarily ruled out.

However, Zhuang Yihao, being cautious by nature, still arranged for Susan to bring some more gifts to visit Li Ke, and continued to carry out the investigations that needed to be arranged.

Last night, the girl had a fever, and Zhuang Weifeng called his family doctor over. Zhuang Yihao knew about this. It would be easy for Zhuang Yihao to find out about a girl who had just finished high school and had grown up in China.

Zhuang Yihao had no contact with these ordinary families in normal times, so he naturally wouldn't know about their wealth. He stopped paying attention to her.

Susan appeared in Li Ke's room after Li Ke had finished dinner. She was holding a bouquet of bright red roses and looked at Li Ke with the same tenderness and affection she felt for her.

Susan placed the bouquet in the vase on Li Ke's windowsill: "The evening breeze will carry the fragrance of the flowers into your dreams, my poor girl, I hope you have sweet dreams tonight."

When Li Ke saw Susan appear, she sat up on the bed and said politely, "Thank you, I really like the flowers you brought."

Susan was still wearing a very figure-flattering slip dress, and the dress was adorned with a black swan brooch on the chest, with a large black pearl on the swan's head.

Susan had a very voluptuous figure. She sat next to Li Ke, and Li Ke's gaze was always involuntarily drawn to the sight of her chest. Li Ke blushed with embarrassment and looked away, then unconsciously glanced down at himself.

On the other side of the camera, the butler was watching everything closely. Standing beside him were Tanaka and Zhuang Yihao. These two had also run out of information and wanted to see if Susan could make any breakthroughs.

Tanaka was filled with pent-up anger. After watching the surveillance footage for a while, he said speechlessly, "What are we wasting time here! Isn't there any other way to find a breakthrough point faster?"

Zhuang Yihao rubbed his temples. Did he not want to?

The problem is they just can't find any breakthrough. This whole thing is just unbelievable!

The castle was full of people, the doors and walls below were all intact, there were no traces of underground passages, and the surveillance cameras showed no unusual people coming or going. It was completely baffling!
