Chapter 142: Jinjiang First Launch

Bai Mian smiled mysteriously: "When you only saw one coffin in the tomb, you should have noticed this coffin."

Lame Brother suddenly had an idea: "I understand, there are compartments inside the coffin! The treasures are hidden in the compartments, you really should have smashed the coffin to see!"

Guo Yiyang immediately denied: "No, I brought a ruler with me when I went there, and I measured the inside and outside of the coffin. There is not much difference at all. The bottom of the coffin is so thin, what can be hidden in it?"

Bai Mian asked again: "Do you still remember what the coffin looked like?"

Guo Yiyang thought for a moment and said, "That coffin... there's nothing special about it. It's all black and makes a thumping sound when you knock on it. It looks like it's made of some kind of metal. I touched it and it was covered in black residue. I guess it's rust."

Weng Xuhua raised his head, as if he had thought of something. He glanced at Bai Mian, who smiled without saying anything.

Guo Yiyang asked again and again, and Bai Mian reminded him: "The material of the coffin is brass."

Lame Brother thought it was strange: "Brass, why brass? Brass coffins don't seem to be common. People in the village usually use wooden coffins for burials. Du Dasheng is so particular about face and pomp, so he should use good wood to match his status, such as golden nanmu, sandalwood, etc. The more expensive the better!"

Bai Mian pointed at Cripple Brother, smiled and said to Yi Yang: "Look, to become a qualified tomb robber, you must at least maintain this kind of vigilance. Any unreasonable place may become a breakthrough point."

In conclusion, she answered the question that Lame Brother had just asked: "Why did Du Dasheng use brass? Because brass can be mixed with gold, and the two colors are similar and can be easily confused."

"Gold?" Guo Yiyang opened his mouth wide, his voice hoarse with excitement, "You mean, it's a golden coffin..."

Bai Mian waved his fan and said, "It's not that exaggerated. A pure gold coffin is probably only something that an emperor would dare to use. Du Dasheng is just a village tyrant. Although he has made a fortune, his financial resources are not that strong. He used a small amount of gold and a large amount of copper to make his own coffin."

"The answer lies in the riddle. He wanted to carry all his belongings to the burial, so he sold everything, exchanged it for gold, and then integrated the gold into the coffin. The burial object he wanted to carry was the coffin itself. ”

Lame Brother suddenly realized: "Oh, the 18K gold and rose gold in the gold shop also work in the same principle, but 18K gold has more gold and less copper, while Du Dasheng's coffin is the opposite, so the outside of the coffin is still roughly the color of brass, which is not easy to see with the naked eye. In addition, after so many years, the outside of the coffin is rusted, and no one can find it!"

Guo Yiyang was extremely upset and regretted: "Oh my God, it turns out that there is gold in the coffin! I searched for it for a long time, and it turns out that the treasure is right in front of me. If I could lift the coffin out... Oh, no, there is no way for us to lift the coffin. If I had known earlier, I would have hired a crane to go up the mountain... But it won't work. That would make too much noise and might alert the police. Oh, I am destined not to get rich!"

Knowing that he had missed the treasure, Guo Yi Yang was heartbroken and about to cry. However, Lame Brother was excited and eager to try. He picked up his phone and wanted to rent a crane. Bai Mian glanced at his phone page, pinched his shoulder from behind, and signaled him not to act rashly.

"Du Dasheng, ah Du Dasheng, you old thief!" Guo Yiyang roared to the sky, wishing he could dig Du Dasheng out of the coffin and give him a beating.

Bai Mian stood behind the desk with his arms folded, looking at him quietly. Guo Yi Yang's current look was exactly what Du Dasheng wanted to see the most. Just like the location of the tomb, Du Dasheng played the same trick twice. He wanted to tell people "what you are looking for is right under your noses, but you just can't find it."

He took advantage of people's traditional thinking. Ordinary grave robbers would at most steal items from the tomb. No one would think of stealing the entire coffin. Even if they had this idea, it would be difficult to achieve because the target was too large.

After Yi Yang calmed down a bit, Bai Mian continued to tell the truth: "At that time, Du Dasheng believed the Feng Shui master's words and thought that he would wake up after many years. Then he faced a problem - how to ensure that his property would not depreciate after many years?"

"If he changes all his property into money, the money may become worthless after a few decades. If he changes it into land deeds, the deeds may decay. If he changes it into jewelry, it will definitely be stolen."

"Therefore, he must carry a kind of property that is not afraid of depreciation, will not decay, and is not easy to be identified. Such property is only gold. In the history of our country, gold has always been a hard currency. Du Dasheng believes that even after a few decades, gold will still be valuable."

"So he put the gold into his coffin, so that the gold would surround him. When you enter the tomb, the coffin you touch with your own hands is actually the treasure you have been looking for."

"Du Dasheng planned to push the coffin open after he woke up, and then hire someone to carry the coffin down the mountain and extract the gold inside. In this way, he could suddenly become a rich man again and continue to enjoy life."

Lame Brother thought for a moment and said, "No, according to what you said, Du Dasheng must have hired a craftsman to make a coffin for him. The craftsman who made the coffin for him must have known the tricks. Why didn't the craftsman go to rob the grave? I think, facing such a large amount of wealth, no one would not be tempted."

Bai Mian: "It's not that he didn't want to go, but he didn't know the exact location of the tomb. The craftsman was hired by Du Dasheng from a neighboring village. After the coffin was made, the craftsman returned to the neighboring village. No one was allowed to watch the ceremony on the day of Du Dasheng's burial. Only the Du family knew where his coffin was buried."

Lame Brother touched his chin and said, "Great! Du Dasheng is really good at this. His children only know the location of the tomb but not the treasure. The craftsmen know the secret of the coffin but not where it is. The villagers know nothing at all. He has perfectly protected everyone!"

Bai Mian added: "There was another person, the Feng Shui master. The Feng Shui master originally told Du Dasheng to take all his property with him when he was buried, just so he could rob his tomb one day. But Du Dasheng had already thought of this, and he secretly made an alloy coffin and hid it from the Feng Shui master."

"The Feng Shui master coveted the Du family's property, but he never found it in his lifetime. In the end, he was old and unwilling to give up. He deliberately spread this story everywhere in his later years, hoping that someone would find Du Dasheng's treasure one day."

"No wonder this story has spread so widely, almost everyone in the town knows it," lame brother sighed, "Although this Du Dasheng is a bully, he is also quite smart. This guy is both smart and strong, but it's a pity that he died too early. If he could live longer, he would definitely have a better life. Maybe this is God's will. God gave him these strengths, but took away half of his life."

Bai Mian shook his head: "No, Du Dasheng's death was not God's will, it was man-made."

Lame brother was speechless: "Are you saying that Du Dasheng was murdered by someone?"

Bai Mian nodded slightly: "Yes, he was poisoned and died slowly with a trace amount of poison."

Lame Brother was very confused: "If it was poison, why wasn't it detected at the time? Du Dasheng has so much money, he should be able to go to a good hospital."

Bai Mian glanced out the window and said, "In fact, the hospital found out the cause of the disease, but his children asked the doctor not to tell Du Dasheng. At that time, the hospital management was in chaos, so they bribed the doctor with red envelopes. The doctor destroyed the test report and told Du Dasheng that the cause of the disease was not found. So Du Dasheng went to one hospital after another, but he never got treatment."

Lame Brother suddenly realized: "So that's what's going on. They're hoping that Dad will die! After all, as soon as Dad dies, all the family inheritance will go to them. These children are really vicious. On the surface, they don't dare to disobey Dad, but in fact, they are secretly delaying his medical treatment. Alas, what's the point of having so many children?"

Guo Yiyang, who had been in a low mood, finally spoke. It seemed that he had accepted the reality: "I guess it was his children who poisoned him, right? After all, after his death, his children would be the biggest beneficiaries. But no one expected Du Dasheng to do such a thing and take all the money into his coffin."

Lame Brother also agreed, but Bai Mian said, "Don't forget, after Du Dasheng died, his children also died mysteriously one after another. If it was his children who did it, why would they want to kill themselves?"

Guo Yiyang frowned, "Hiss - two generations have died. This is going to wipe out their family! People were conservative at that time. In the countryside, this person must have a deep hatred for the Du family to do such a thing. Maybe he is a villager who was bullied by the Du family!"
