Gu Chen was also puzzled, wondering how these people came up with so many complicated programs.
It can be recalled that these people were indeed desperadoes more than 20 years ago and were very aware of their situation.
If you don't leave yourself any backup, it's really easy to fail.
This is why Master Hu wants to build a complex fortress from what was originally an ordinary wood processing factory.
Thinking that Lord Tiger had spared these gangsters, and these gangsters might even take revenge.
That's why Mr. Hu came up with this strategy, trying to use an almost perfect way to resolve the suspicion between everyone.
Gu Chen was silent for a moment, and then asked Xu Peiwen: "So, the reason why Mr. Tiger did this is because he is afraid that there will be a gap between you two?"
"Yes." It seemed that Gu Chen had guessed Master Hu's intention, Xu Peiwen said quickly:
"Master Hu's idea is also very simple. We are all in the same boat. If something happens, everyone will be okay."
"Especially A Zhuang's operation makes people feel confused. It feels like A Zhuang doesn't know the danger of doing this at all."
"Master Hu is also a smart man. He knows that no matter how much money he has, if his brothers are unreliable, sooner or later something will go wrong with the money."
"So, Lord Tiger actually wants to use this gold to stabilize your military morale. Can you understand it this way?" Lu Weiwei said.
Xu Peiwen nodded fiercely: "Yes, yes, you are absolutely right. This is what Mr. Hu means."
"And do you know? Because Mr. Tiger exchanged all everyone's money into gold and kept it together."
"Moreover, he also gave some of the gold to us, and even generously gave us part of the treasure map."
Looking at the people in front of him, Xu Peiwen continued: "Actually, you think these incomprehensible totems and symbols were created by Huang Zhigang, right? In fact, they are not."
"The first person to use such symbols and totems to express meaning was Mr. Hu."
"It can be said that he is a very smart guy. He has completely mastered all of us by using this special symbol."
"Wait a minute." After hearing this, Officer Wang also had some thoughts of his own, and then said:
"You said that Master Hu gave each of you a treasure map, but these treasure maps are all incomplete, right?"
"Yes." Faced with Officer Wang's question, Xu Peiwen nodded in agreement:
"Everything is incomplete."
"Then you guys, if you put these maps together, you can put them together into a complete treasure map. I can understand that, right?" Officer Wang asked again.
Xu Peiwen continued to nod, but explained: "I know what you want to say? But, this is almost impossible."
"Because the most critical part is in Master Hu's hands. What he gives us is only a part of the specific position."
"If his part is missing, then no matter how talented you are, it will be difficult to assemble the map. It can be said that to assemble the map based entirely on imagination is simply wishful thinking."
Having said this, Xu Peiwen himself sighed and seemed to feel very helpless.
Gu Chen nodded slightly and said, "So, Master Hu is just trying to paint a bigger picture for you?"
"Yeah." Lowering his head, Xu Peiwen just hummed and said helplessly:
"At that time, we didn't know what it meant to draw a pie. Anyway, Mr. Hu was a person who spoke very contagiously."
"Under his instigation, everyone felt that Master Hu was a good man. At the very least, he would distribute that large sum of gold to each of us."
"But the premise is that everyone's safety must be ensured, just like A Zhuang, exposing himself in such a stupid way."
"If A Zhuang and Master Hu hadn't had a close relationship and had been good brothers for many years, Master Hu would have definitely killed him based on his character, but he didn't."
"However, this pie is so delicious. After Master Hu divided it, everyone suddenly became more motivated to fight."
"Then where did you go? Didn't you say that Master Hu has realized that the wood processing factory is unsafe?" Lu Weiwei said.
"Yes." After hearing Lu Weiwei's words, Xu Peiwen also sighed and said:
"Master Hu gave those incomplete maps to us people respectively. Of course, he also gave instructions. No one can piece these maps together without receiving his notification."
"Of course, none of us would do this, because at that time, everyone felt that sooner or later, this gold would belong to everyone."
"And we are all on the same rope, and we trust each other very much."
"So, I didn't think too much about it, but later, Master Hu wanted all of us to go our separate ways."
"Separate?" Officer Wang heard something vague, and quickly asked: "Are you two going to separate?"
"Yes, to put it simply, everyone can no longer gather together. Of course, Master Hu also used his many years of connections to arrange a place for us to go by helping us apply for false identities."
"Huang Zhigang went to a remote village in Qiancheng, Guizhou Province, where you arrested him."
"As for me, I went to a small town in the south to learn various cuisines from people there, while Zhuang went to the northwest and later heard that he died in a car accident."
"What about Mr. Tiger?" Lu Weiwei still asked the question she was most concerned about.
"Master Tiger?" Xu Peiwen's eyes froze, as if he was recalling things that happened many years ago, and he couldn't help but sigh:
"Later, Mr. Tiger was in a place. It was said that he was targeted by his enemies, and then...then we had no more news about him."
"What is the specific situation? In fact, we people know very well that he must have been in danger, but where exactly did he die? No one knows."
"But one year during the Qingming Festival, at my suggestion, Huang Zhigang and I planned to go back to the old forests in the northeast to erect a monument for Lord Tiger, right next to his adoptive father."
"This can be regarded as an explanation from us. If he is still alive, he may see the monument we erected for him one day."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "If he can never see it, then it doesn't matter, at least the monument we erected for him is still there."
"But after Huang Zhigang and I helped him complete the work of erecting the monument, we found ourselves in the old house where he lived, which was the wood processing factory that was there. It is now abandoned."
"We went back and came to the room where Master Hu once lived, and accidentally discovered a secret passage, so we stopped by to take a look."
"In the secret passage, we found some things left by Master Hu, including the totem with a special symbol. This should be the last piece of the puzzle for Master Hu to bury the gold."
"In other words, you have found the last piece of the puzzle. If you put it together, you can find where the gold is buried?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but sigh when she heard this.
But thinking of A Zhuang's death in a car accident earlier, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but frown, and then asked again:
"Oh, that's not right. If you put it that way, the puzzle piece on A Zhuang's body is the one that is hard for you to find."
"No, that's not the case." Faced with Lu Weiwei's question, Xu Peiwen quickly explained:
"Actually, we often have contact with A Zhuang."
"Although we are all spread out across the country, after what happened, we all trust each other."
"Actually, he told us before Zhuang's car accident. He said that if he died unexpectedly one day, there would be no doubt that we could go to the place where he lived and search carefully, and there would be unexpected surprises."
"So, you all went?" Gu Chen asked.
Xu Peiwen shook his head and said: "Only Huang Zhigang went. At first we all thought it was just a joke from A Zhuang, but Huang Zhigang took it seriously."
"After learning about the accidental death of A Zhuang, Huang Zhigang went to the northwest alone and found the house where A Zhuang lived based on the address A Zhuang had left before."
"He was also rummaging around in the room, but sometimes you have to admit that Huang Zhigang's luck is indeed better."
"In this way, Huang Zhigang got the most critical piece of the puzzle, and from then on, all our puzzle pieces were put together."
"As long as Huang Zhigang is willing, we can immediately find the gold scattered everywhere."
"Then do you have such a request?" Lu Weiwei asked.
Xu Peiwen shook his head and said: "After experiencing so much suffering, I have finally understood, what is money or not? It is not that important anymore."
"I just want to live a good life, as long as I don't starve to death. I just want to live an ordinary life."
"And I have already seen through it. The dismantled treasure map left behind by Mr. Tiger may have been a big lie."
"Perhaps, he hid the gold in a place where you can't find it at all."
"I say so many good things, actually just to stabilize the morale of the army. Over the years, I have gradually become accustomed to living in all kinds of lies, so I am a relatively open-minded person, right?"
"But, what's going on with the totems and symbols on that wooden box?" Officer Wang still didn't seem to understand how this had anything to do with the previous events.
But at this moment, Xu Peiwen smiled coldly and said calmly:
"Of course it does matter. When Huang Zhigang found A Zhuang's incomplete map, he had no intention of keeping it to himself."
"In other words, he is worried that Master Hu is cheating."
"Is it a scam?"
Hearing such a reply, Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang were confused.
But before Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang could ask about the reason, Xu Peiwen himself explained:
"Yes, Huang Zhigang is still afraid of death, because back then, we saw with our own eyes the power of the agencies set up by Mr. Hu."
"Those gangsters suffered a big loss that night, not to mention they suffered a loss without contact."
"But if the pie that Master Hu painted for us is actually an agency, then Master Hu will definitely take revenge on those who betray him, and it will be the most vicious revenge."
Having said this, Xu Peiwen also looked up at the ceiling, sighed heavily and said:
"Huang Zhigang was worried that Mr. Hu would keep such a hand, so instead of taking the gold alone, he shared with me the fact that he obtained the incomplete map of A Zhuang."
"He told me that if we have money, we can all make it together, and he asked me to follow him and dig out the gold."
"Then how did you reply to him?" Hearing this, Gu Chen was also very curious.
But Xu Peiwen said calmly: "Me? Haha, of course I don't care, because I have no hope at all for that gold."
"In my opinion, the more you learn a craft, the more you can earn a solid amount of money."
"If you think about how to get that gold all day long, I think you might lose your life in the end."
"So I was more pragmatic and told Huang Zhigang that I didn't want the gold anymore and let him figure it out on his own."
"So? Huang Zhigang put together those incomplete maps and re-planned them into a brand new totem and symbol based on his own ideas."
"And only you can understand these totems and symbols."
"Even you are on guard?" Officer Wang felt incredible.
But Xu Peiwen nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "Yes, even I am on guard."
"In my opinion, this Huang Zhigang values gold more than me."
"That is to say, since then, all the incomplete maps and symbols we had before have been invalidated."
"And the only person who knows the whereabouts of the gold is Huang Zhigang."
"However, Huang Zhigang still has absolute trust in me. Because we have been together for a long time, he is absolutely assured of me."
"Just a few years ago, his life suddenly changed, and he felt that his memory began to get worse and worse."
"There is no other way but to take measures to make up for it."
After a pause, Xu Peiwen continued: "On the one hand, he drew all the contents into symbols and totems that only he could understand, and carved them all on a wooden box."
"On the other hand, he didn't want to put the wooden boxes at home there because his home had been stolen before. The loss was not huge, but it also made Huang Zhigang aware of a problem."
"That is, if one day a thief fails to steal valuable things, and then in a rage, smashes the things in the house or sets fire to them, then Huang Zhigang's current memory will definitely be unbearable."
"That's why he gave you the wooden box to keep for him?" Gu Chen said.
Xu Peiwen nodded fiercely: "That's what I mean. You know, this thing has become Huang Zhigang's lingering bad luck."
"Ever since he started thinking about the gold, his whole life has been unhappy."
"On the contrary, I don't care about the gold at all. I especially regard it as Master Tiger's final test for us to see if we are really greedy for the gold? That's why we set up a trap and wait for us to get in."
"So, just because I have such a good attitude, Huang Zhigang also has great trust in me."
"Because Huang Zhigang knows very well that I can't understand his special symbols and totems at all, because they have no connection at all."
With a faint sigh, Xu Peiwen shook his head helplessly: "That's why that box came into my hands in a daze."
