No one gave up and continued to search deeper.
Ye Beichen and others did not rush inside, but observed in the hall.
Judging from the traces on the ground, it is obvious that there are many large boxes and other items placed here.
But now everything is gone!
Moreover, it should have disappeared in the past few days.
There is a door shape on the side of the hall. It seems that it was the gate used by the Japanese to transport supplies when they built this base.
And now, this gate has been sealed with cement.
Only the spiral staircase they took when they came was left for the Japanese who came later to use.
However, Ye Beichen observed the size of the traces left on the ground and realized that there must have been many large objects placed there before, such as large boxes.
Several of the traces were too large, as if they had been used to store particularly large boxes, or... coffins?
Those who went inside to search came back with confused looks on their faces, but there was nothing inside either.
"Could it be that the Japanese took it? Some people took the things away, and some stayed behind to hold us back?"
"Could it be that someone got there first? When the Japanese built this secret base, it was discovered by people nearby. After the Japanese left, did they come and dig up the treasure?"
"You're stupid! Didn't you see the traces on the ground? It's obvious that they just moved the things away not long ago."
"Then... who on earth could have emptied this place so thoroughly? Without leaving anything behind?"
Everyone looked incredulous.
So, the question now is, how were these things taken away?
The "gate" had been sealed, and the spiral staircase they came from was not only not wide, but also full of traps and extremely dangerous.
Who could take so many things away from here and leave safely?
It definitely wasn’t the Japanese. If they had taken everything away, why would they stay?
Who did this?
This matter is really unbelievable.
The treasure hidden in the mountains and disappeared could almost become one of the top ten unsolved mysteries of this century.
Some people couldn't help but speculate about ghosts and gods.
"Could it be that the mountain god took it away? I know some elderly people would secretly go to worship the mountain god. The mountain god is a spirit, so maybe he thought the things in here were sacrifices and took them all away!"
"When offering sacrifices to the mountain god, one must also awaken the mountain god and clearly state what is being offered! What god would take anything without permission?"
"Tsk, you still have to comment on the actions of the gods!"
"Uh, it was a slip of the tongue! Please don't blame me, gods! I was just talking nonsense, don't take it seriously!"
"If it's not a mountain god, could it be Wong Tai Sin? Those Japanese back then committed all sorts of atrocities, burning, killing, looting, and so on. They must be carrying sins with them. This time, with so many Japanese entering the mountain, they must have caught the attention of the mountain gods. Only these mountain gods could have discovered this Japanese secret base and removed all the treasures in an instant!"
"Now that you mention it, it's really possible! Otherwise, this wouldn't be something that could be easily accomplished by human power! Especially since those Japanese on the road entered the base they built and actually triggered the mechanism here, and so many Japanese died. The Japanese certainly couldn't do it, so it would be even more difficult for others to do it."
"It's really possible that the immortals did it!"
"So which immortal did it? Was it the Fox Immortal (fox), the Yellow Immortal (weasel), the White Immortal (hedgehog), the Willow Immortal (snake), or the Gray Immortal (rat)?"
"Gray Fairy, I guess."
"I think so..."
…
Regarding this kind of thing that cannot be done by human power, some people began to make strange remarks.
No one else refuted this statement involving feudal superstition.
Although feudal superstitions are being eradicated on a large scale, people still have a deep reverence for the gods and ghosts of nature in their bones.
Who knows what is going on?
The mission was considered completed, and everyone relaxed. It was normal to have some speculations.
Although everything here was lost and everyone felt very sorry, the Japanese were captured, so it was considered a gain.
I have earned the credit for participating in this mission.
Especially the leader, Noriko Fukuda, who is said to have a high status among the Japanese.
I hope I can get something out of her.
However, these follow-up matters are no longer the business of Ye Beichen’s team.
Their mission was only to support and capture the Japanese.
Now that their mission has been successfully completed, they can go back and report.
Only Ye Beichen had already applied for home leave when he came.
After completing this task and writing the report, you can go home directly.
? ? ? ? ? ?
On the other side, Xu Nanxing now felt unhappy.
Because the old village chief came to her and wanted her to plead for Yang Laizi.
Although Song Liandi was the mastermind behind the incident, the idiot Yang Laizi could not produce any substantial evidence.
Yang Laizi was caught on the spot by police officer Xie Wentian for slandering and spreading rumors about Xu Nanxing in public, and he was not allowed to deny it.
The village chief has been looking for help everywhere these days to get Yang Laizi out.
After all, Yang Laizi is a villager. If he is really sentenced, it will bring shame to the village.
However, the investigation into Yang Laizi's case has not yet begun, because the reason given by the Public Security Bureau is that there are too many major cases in the town recently and they cannot transfer enough manpower.
They could only be detained temporarily until other major cases were investigated and more personnel were available before trying Yang Laizi's rumor-mongering case.
So, even if the village chief found someone willing to help, he couldn't find anyone to intercede.
Now the village chief came to find Xu Nanxing again, wanting her to write a letter of understanding so that Yang Laizi could receive a lighter punishment.
It was not a free forgiveness. The village chief suggested that he could arrange a light job for Xu Nanxing, such as helping to feed pigs in the pig house, or helping to feed cows in the cowshed, or even doing clerical work like a scorekeeper.
If someone else heard this condition, they would definitely be happy to agree to it. After all, the possibility of Yang Laizi being sentenced is very small.
If this happened during a nationwide crackdown, the case would definitely have resulted in a heavy sentence.
Now!
It’s hard to say given the complicated relationships in the local area.
However, in Xu Nanxing's opinion, these conditions proposed by the village chief would seriously hinder her from making money!
These are all jobs that require you to be on the job every day!
How could she go to the city secretly?
Xu Nanxing was not happy about this at all!
However, a few days later, Yang Laizi finally came back, but she didn't get any benefits.
Wouldn’t she be at a huge loss then?
This is all the benefits Xu Nanxing can get from the village chief.
If I think about feeding the cows in the cowshed, then I can see my grandfather with a legitimate reason, right?
However, Xu Nanxing still asked: "Can I give this work arrangement to someone else?"
