Gu Chen actually had this intention, but when Lu Weiwei reminded him, he immediately reacted.
He quickly stood up, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go find the old village chief."
When Officer Wang saw this, he quickly followed him.
Lu Qiang saw that everyone was still happy, but Gu Chen's team was preparing to go find the old village chief. He thought that he could not be left behind, so he followed them.
Not long after, everyone arrived at the door of the old village chief's house.
At this moment, two police officers were drinking hot tea in the living room of the old village chief's house.
According to Lu Qiang's wishes, everyone must control the old village chief.
On the surface, he didn't talk about arresting him, but actually he wanted to stabilize the old village chief.
But in fact, on the one hand, it is said that the old village chief is being protected, but in fact he is under house arrest.
Of course, the old village chief is not stupid. With the Tai City police's arrangement, he was also panicking.
I know I may have committed a crime.
But when Gu Chen's team arrived at the door of his house, the old village chief felt relieved.
After all, what is supposed to come will always come.
Hearing the sound of Gu Chen and others pushing open the door, the old village chief sitting in the living room immediately stood up with a smile on his face: "So it's Officer Gu?"
"Old village chief, is it convenient? Let's chat?" Gu Chen also said politely.
The old village chief looked stunned, but also smiled and said: "What's the inconvenience? If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Okay." Gu Chen glanced at the two police officers in the living room. The two police officers understood and walked out of the house.
Since there was only the old village chief at home, everyone seemed to be talking more relaxedly.
Lu Weiwei turned on the video recording function of her mobile phone, put it aside, and focused the camera on the old village chief.
At this moment, the old village chief realized that Gu Chen was "unkind" this time.
"Old village chief, tell me about your Centenary Peak." Lu Qiang now knew clearly about the treasures in the hinterland of Centenary Peak, so he wanted to have a straightforward chat with the old village chief.
But the old village chief was stunned and had a blank expression on his face: "What happened to Baisui Peak? What happened to Baisui Peak?"
"It's about those treasures." Lu Qiang reminded again.
"Treasure? What treasure?" After hearing Lu Qiang's words, the old village chief also looked confused.
When Lu Weiwei saw this, she also sighed and said helplessly: "Old village chief, don't pretend to be like us. Many years ago, you have been looking for the whereabouts of the treasures in the hinterland of Centennial Peak."
"For this reason, you also found a medicine dealer. In the name of purchasing medicinal materials from the mountains, you went into the mountains to find the whereabouts of the treasures. Is this possible?"
"Haha, hahaha." After listening to Lu Weiwei's story, the old village chief laughed out loud and said, "Comrade policewoman, who did you hear this from?"
Spreading his hands, the old village chief continued to complain: "Isn't this nonsense? There is nothing wrong with it."
"Old village chief." Officer Wang had been lowering his head in thought just now, listening to the various stories of the old village chief.
But now, Officer Wang couldn't sit still. He looked up and stared at the old village chief in front of him and said coldly:
"Back then you found Liu Xiangmei's husband, the guy who purchased medicinal materials. That guy is still running a pig farm."
"If you don't understand this matter clearly, do we need to call people from the pig farm for a confrontation?"
It was also a warning that instantly made the old village chief, who had been acting stupid just now, become more honest.
The whole person lowered his head and seemed to be embarrassed.
"Tell me, we don't need to rush you anymore, right?" Officer Wang continued to remind you.
"Okay." Feeling that it was impossible to hide, the old village chief sighed heavily and said helplessly:
"Now that you all know the truth, I will tell you openly. Yes, many years ago, I asked Liu Xiangmei's husband to help me go into the mountains to find the whereabouts of the treasure."
"Keep talking." Seeing that the old village chief seemed willing to cooperate, Gu Chen also reached out to remind him.
The old village chief nodded silently and continued: "Because that treasure was left by our ancestors, but after many years, many people thought it was just a legend."
"Because our ancestors in Hemu Village feel that this wealth may bring disaster to our Hemu Village, because many items were stolen from the palace back then."
"Once it leaks out, it is very likely to cause death. Therefore, our ancestors would rather let these treasures disappear forever than cause trouble to future generations."
"Stolen from the palace?" Lu Weiwei was stunned when she heard this situation. She never thought that things would be so novel.
So the old village chief continued to explain: "That's right, because our ancestors in Hemu Village were a group of royal guards in the palace, mainly guarding some of the palace's treasures."
"Many years ago, there was war in the north. Therefore, before the imperial city was breached, our ancestors in Hemu Village escorted the royal family and the treasures they brought from the palace to the south."
"But along the way, we were surrounded and intercepted by the enemy. In the end, everyone was separated. Our ancestors in Hemu Village could not find the royal family members."
"Later I heard that those people were killed by the rebels, so our seniors in Hemu Village thought of dividing the remaining boxes of jewelry among themselves."
"You hide your name and go to the south to live a good life, but everyone is not worried about each other, because once one person leaks the news, he will definitely be killed."
With a heavy sigh, the old village chief shook his head helplessly: "So, there was really no other way. These ancestors of Hemu Village, that is, the group of members of the Royal Forest Army, wandered around and finally came to Taishi."
"I discovered that here at Centennial Peak in Tai City, I can stay anonymous and live a comfortable life without worrying about being discovered."
"So, these seniors of Hemu Village built the earliest house in Hemu Village together, and used some of the treasures brought from the palace to exchange for money."
"What happened next?" Seeing that the old village chief gave a very detailed introduction, Gu Chen continued to ask.
The old village chief sighed and shook his head helplessly: "But one day, one of the seniors came back and told everyone that someone could actually recognize the palace treasure that was passed off before."
"He said that there is a shopkeeper in this pawn shop in Tai City who has a sharp eye and can recognize at a glance that these are items from the palace."
"That is to say, from then on, the seniors of Hemu Village began to use the money they had exchanged to build houses, marry wives, and then develop Hemu Village."
"However, everyone is also afraid of being targeted by enemies, especially those things brought from the palace. If someone really recognizes the things and takes advantage of them, then Hemu Village will face a bloody disaster.
"
"No one wants this outcome, so those seniors buried these treasures in the hinterland of Centennial Peak."
"And in order to find out the location of this burial site, a simple map was drawn on a sheepskin."
"But later, as these seniors passed away one after another, they rarely told future generations about the treasure."
"Only the village chief of Hemu Village knows about this matter and can keep it a secret."
"But you are still going to dig out the treasure in the end, right?" Officer Wang said.
"But that belongs to our family?" Faced with Officer Wang's questioning, the old village chief also retorted.
But Officer Wang argued with reason: "If it is, then it belongs to the entire Hemu Village, but you want to take this wealth all to yourself."
"Especially because as the village chief, you clearly know this secret, but you have never made it public."
"I..." It seemed that he had nothing to say after being asked by Officer Wang. The old village chief was stunned and sighed:
"Okay, I admit, I had a wrong idea at the time, because my father and grandfather were both the village chiefs of Hemu Village, and they all knew about this matter."
"But our ancestral teachings tell us that this wealth will bring disaster to our Hemu Village."
"Unless life is really hard and people will starve to death, these treasures buried in the mountains can only be touched."
"But I don't even know where these treasures are buried, because after so many years, the vegetation in the mountains has changed rapidly and become completely different."
"There are also various landslides, and many terrains have changed. If you give me an ancestral sheepskin map, it will be useless. It is completely useless."
"I can only rely on myself to find those buried treasures."
When talking about this, the old village chief seemed unwilling to give in.
Lu Weiwei turned the pen with her right hand and continued to ask: "Then later, you would rather find Liu Xiangmei's ex-husband than the villagers, didn't you just want to monopolize this wealth?"
"Because you don't want to tell the villagers this secret, and also because of so many years of development, now only your family knows this secret."
"But your predecessors in Hemu Village originally meant that this wealth belongs to the entire village of Hemu Village. It is to protect Hemu Village and serve as a backup wealth in case some major changes occur in the future."
"But you only want to monopolize it. You even collude with outsiders to secretly search for the wealth in the hinterland of Centennial Peak."
"Haha." After hearing what Lu Weiwei said, the old village chief also laughed dryly.
He involuntarily covered his cheeks with his hands and said slowly: "I admit, I really want that wealth. Who doesn't want it?"
"However, people talk a lot about this kind of thing. My father and my grandfather once told me that it's okay to know this secret, but don't try to steal those treasures."
"Because they also think so. They feel that those treasures will bring disaster to our Hemu Village. The less people know about them, the better."
"But why? We don't want the wealth left by our ancestors. So, I thought of a way and found Liu Xiangmei's ex-husband to help me find the whereabouts of the treasure."
"It seems that you have admitted that you sent people to find the treasure." Gu Chen said.
"That's right." The old village chief nodded silently and added, "But Liu Xiangmei's husband has been searching in the mountains for many years, but has not found anything."
"Actually, the cooperation between me and him has ended long ago."
"Then what happened this time? Why did Scar find those treasures?" Lu Qiang looked incredulous.
After all, Liu Xiangmei's ex-husband, who was a drug dealer and had experience in tomb robbing, had not found any of this wealth.
But the scarred man can do it.
Seeing Lu Qiang's incredible expression, the old village chief also sighed and said helplessly:
"It's also my fault that Liu Xiangmei's husband is too talkative. One time, he accidentally told the story about him while drunk."
"Later, this incident was overheard by a friend who was drinking. That friend also secretly took away the antique I gave to Liu Xiangmei's husband."
"Have you ever given antiques to Liu Xiangmei's husband?" Lu Weiwei felt incredible when hearing this.
But the old village chief nodded silently: "Yes, because the predecessors of Hemu Village used some of the antiques in exchange for money to build the current Hemu Village."
"So, each of our households still has some left over."
"Didn't I have no money at the time? However, Liu Xiangmei's ex-husband took people to the mountains every day to search for treasures in the name of collecting herbs. This was a huge expense."
"So I had no choice. In order to subsidize Liu Xiangmei's husband in the early stage, I gave him an antique at home, which is an old object."
"But I didn't expect that that time, it was stolen by his drinking friends and even put on the gambling table."
When he said this, the old village chief also looked helpless.
Lu Weiwei quickly urged: "What happened next? What happened next?"
"Later? Later..."
The old village chief thought for a long time, and then slowly said: "Later, this scarred man came to me and asked me about the treasures at Centennial Peak."
"I was shocked at the time, thinking how could he know this? Later, after asking around, I found out that the person who stole Liu Xiangmei's husband's antiques had lost a lot of money in the casino and owed a lot of debt."
"In the end, I couldn't pay off the debt and almost had my fingers cut off, so I told him about the antiques."
"When the other party heard about it, he felt that there was such a thing in the hinterland of Hemu Village, so he was very interested in it, so he thought about coming here to inquire about the news."
"Because the person who stole the antiques at that time also told the creditor that it was Liu Xiangmei's ex-husband, the drug dealer I worked with before, who was responsible for helping me search the mountains."
"So, the creditor followed the clues and found me, and that creditor was that Scar."
"So that's it?" Listening to the old village chief's explanation, Lu Weiwei roughly understood everything about this place.
Then he added: "So, that scarred man asked you about many treasures, so he and you have a cooperative relationship?"
"Ouch! How can this be cooperation? It's clearly a threat." Seeing what Lu Weiwei said, the old village chief also complained repeatedly, as if he had no choice but to do so.
Lu Qiang said angrily: "Don't tell me these useless things. Tell me clearly what's going on?"
"Actually, that's what happened." The old village chief put his forehead with one hand and choked with sobs.
"At that time, the scarred man and a group of people took me to an abandoned factory when I was shopping in the city."
"There, they told me that they wanted to cooperate with me and asked me to hand over the map. Maybe they could help me find the wealth."
"At that time, everyone can share the accounts."
"So you agreed?" Officer Wang said.
"I agreed." The old village chief nodded silently and said helplessly:
"In that case, you have to agree even if you don't agree. Moreover, when people say that I am the third person and they are not the best, I can't even refute it."
"Because they work hard, I just need to cooperate, support them, and provide certain support."
"I originally thought that Liu Xiangmei's ex-husband, a drug dealer who robbed tombs, spent several years without finding those treasures. What could these people do?"
"Later I found out that I was totally wrong. That scar seemed to be quite capable and very professional."
"I feel that the people he brought are all professional. They even did a lot of work in the early stage."
"In recent times, we have started to go into the mountains intensively. Although I don't know the specific situation there, I can guess that they must have gained something."
"What about the old principal? Who attacked him that night?"
The old village chief here was still explaining his helplessness, but Gu Chen changed the subject and directly asked about the attack on Lao Mumu.
This made the old village chief's expression stunned, and he was a little unable to react for a while.
"Who attacked Old Mumu? How do I know this?"
"Of course you know." Before the old village chief could refute, Gu Chen continued to explain:
"The old principal will not be attacked for no reason, especially Yanzi. We have also conducted investigations. She is also related to the Centennial Peak Treasure."
"Because she appeared near where Scar Man found the treasure."
"What did you say? Scar Man and the others really discovered the treasure?" Listening to Gu Chen's explanation, the old village chief also looked dumbfounded.
"That's right." Lu Qiang on the side also nodded silently and proactively admitted:
"The treasure has been found and has been sent to the city bureau. Yanzi and Yuan Shasha have also been locked up in an ancient tomb where the treasure is buried."
"But ordinary people can't find that place, but Yanzi can find it. Moreover, these days, Yanzi has been taking Yuan Shasha with him for various activities in the mountains."
"Do you dare to say that Yanzi doesn't know about this? This is impossible."
"That's right." As soon as Lu Qiang finished speaking, Officer Wang continued to add:
"Besides, Yanzi has a very good relationship with Lao Mumu. As you said, she talked a lot with Lao Mumu as soon as she came back. I think there is something about the treasure involved."
"Besides, maybe Lao Mumu should know something? That's why you have to attack him and shut him up forever, right?"
"No, no, no, who did you listen to? This is not the case at all." When Officer Wang said this, the old village chief, who had been calm just now, suddenly became anxious.
