No matter how hard Chen Sanmei tried, she couldn't remember everyone around her. She just randomly mentioned a few names; she really hadn't paid attention to the others.
Both of them knew that Chen Sanmei had been used as a pawn this time, and they were furious, but the more important thing now was to find the real culprit.
"After you came to the family compound, have you made any enemies? Or have you had any unpleasant encounters with anyone?"
"No."
Chen Sanmei blushed a little when she said this, "My mother brought me here to find me a husband, and she certainly didn't want to leave a bad impression on anyone, so we never had a fight with anyone."
The trail went cold, and finding the mastermind behind it all will require considerable effort.
After finishing speaking with Tang Yue, Commander Kang sighed deeply. "I've already sent people to the family compound to inquire about who was there that day, but it was quite a commotion, so it will take some effort to find out the truth."
Tang Yue knew it wouldn't be so easy to find out. This was another dirty trick she came up with after the last poisoning attempt failed.
However, her third brother has now broken through to the first level of Qi Refining, so the safety of the house is much higher than before.
After Commander Kang finished speaking, he saw that the little girl in front of him had no reaction at all, and he felt a little frustrated. How could this little girl be so calm? Thinking of this, Commander Kang couldn't help but recall what the little girl had just said. Could the little girl really secretly move the things away?
He couldn't believe that such a thing was impossible for a human to do. But the little girl wasn't the type to lie. Looking back on what she had done, none of it was simple.
But can we trust her? After all, it wasn't just one or two things; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that these things amounted to more than half of China's national treasury. The country is currently extremely poor. After so many years of war and several years of famine, this is the most difficult time for China.
Finding these treasures of China would be an immense achievement for the country. Commander Kang dared not gamble even a little.
The sun was already up. Tang Yue wondered if Commander Kang was stalling for time, trying to keep her from leaving. Just then, Commander Kang seemed to suddenly remember something, his eyes shining as he looked at her. "Little girl, you just said you could take everything away quietly. Is that true? You're not lying to me, are you?"
Commander Kang had already stood up excitedly and was pacing back and forth in the room, as if nothing could extinguish the excitement in his heart.
It was impossible not to be excited. Commander Kang suddenly remembered the testimonies of the two Japanese spies, Mr. Oda and Mr. Fujino.
He clearly remembered the constipated look on the face of the person in charge of translation at the time.
The translator said that Oda and Fujino both said that they personally witnessed the warehouses of the three fishing boats being emptied, filled with piles of large stones, weighing about the same as the treasures they were transporting.
Commander Kang didn't believe it at first either, but although he didn't fully understand what Oda and Fujino were saying, he could tell from their expressions that they weren't lying. Besides, they had both taken truth serum, so it was impossible for them to lie.
The two men also mentioned a ship, the one that went to the island, and that the stones on board were carried and thrown into the sea by American and Japanese soldiers. The American soldiers also shared this account.
However, Chang Yin's report said that after they entered the fishing boat, disarmed the bomb, and opened the door, the cabin was full of treasures.
It was obvious that one of their statements was false, but Commander Kang completely believed Chang Yin, and since Chang Yin had found those treasures, he had no reason to lie.
So, it seems that Japan and the United States were lying. But everyone there used truth serum, which is impossible for it to be wrong. To test its effectiveness, they even gave it to their own people, asking them some personal questions, which made everyone else laugh.
At the time, Commander Kang only thought that the Japanese and Americans might have imagined such a scene and didn't pay much attention. But now, thinking back, it's possible that it really was that situation back then.
The Japanese clearly stated that they didn't know how the treasures disappeared. They clearly saw the treasures being loaded onto the ship, and they hadn't left the fishing boat afterward. But how exactly did the treasures vanish?
This was the part the Japanese couldn't understand the most. Commander Kang also thought of the Chinese kayak they said was sailing on its own at sea; that kayak belonged to the warship where Tang Yue and her group were.
Commander Kang had a bold guess in his mind, but this kind of thing was really mysterious and could not be spoken aloud.
"Tang Yue, I want to confirm, are you really sure you can bring the items to Kyoto safely in one go?"
Commander Kang's expression was extremely serious at this moment; Tang Yue had never seen Commander Kang so solemn before. What she didn't know was that Commander Kang had already risked his life when he asked this question.
Commander Kang genuinely wanted to safely deliver all those treasures to Kyoto, but the spies from Japan, the United States, and Russia were keeping a close watch on him, and he couldn't rule out the possibility that there were spies from those countries among them, making him feel constrained in his actions.
He thought that if Tang Yue could really do this, it would save the army a lot of trouble.
Commander Kang could only gamble on this, but he hoped he could win.
Tang Yue didn't know what the old man was thinking. Why did he suddenly believe her again?
She had already decided to ignore it, but seeing how serious Commander Kang was, she nodded. "As long as I don't die, I will definitely deliver the goods."
I don't know how much of a decision Commander Kang made, but he said, "Okay, Comrade Tang Yue, I believe in you. You will definitely be able to complete the mission assigned to you by the army."
