Compared with half a year ago, Manila is still dilapidated and the traces of the war have not completely dissipated, but the smell of gunpowder smoke and blood is no longer in the air. Originally, this place was full of Japanese troops and plainclothes agents, but what Tangcheng saw now were groups of American soldiers. Unable to bear Hans' repeated persuasion, Tang Cheng had nothing to do, so he could only follow Hans to Manila to try to find the treasure under the mountain that might still be there. However, Tangcheng did not come with Hans and two people. They came to Manila with them, as well as Mickey and a group of second-generation officials.
The previous scrap recycling business made Mickey and the others a lot of money, but these second-generation officials were not satisfied with the small money. Since learning about the treasure under the mountain, they have repeatedly encouraged Hans to come to Manila. Mickey thinks that they are all lucky people and may be able to find the treasure under the mountain. Mickey and others tricked Hans into coming to Manila. The reason why they acted so confidently was because they found a Japanese named Fukuda Kiyoshige in Tokyo.
This Japanese named Fukuda Kiyoshi was accidentally discovered by one of Mickey's informants during a black market transaction. The seemingly down-and-out Fukuda Kiyoshige was once a member of the Yamayuri Society. Before the Philippines was counterattacked by the US military, this guy was still in Manila. The Yamayuri Club where Fukuda Kiyoshiro belongs may not be known to outsiders. When Mickey learned the news, he even asked Hans. Hans, who has a background in intelligence, has always liked to collect such cold news. If it weren't for him, Mickey wouldn't have facilitated this trip to the Philippines.
"This Fukuda Kiyoshige was originally a member of the Yamayuri Club!" Hans, holding a cigarette in his mouth, secretly grinned at Tang Cheng, who followed Hans's line of sight and saw a man being pinched by two American soldiers. The short Japanese guy in the middle. "According to his explanation, he worked in Manila before and was responsible for counting the warehouses of the Mountain Lily Society on the Manila pier. It is said that there are more than 20 warehouses belonging to the Mountain Lily Society on the Manila pier." Hans introduced in a low voice. Fukuda Kiyoshige's situation, while winking at Tang Cheng.
It has been many years since I came to Tangcheng in this era. Although I still retain the memories of later generations, unfortunately, some of those memories are very blurry. The so-called Golden Lily Project, even in later generations of the Internet, is only mentioned briefly, and there is not much detailed content on the Internet. When Hans asked Tang Cheng about this before, Tang Cheng only told him that the treasure at the foot of the mountain was probably hidden in the Philippines, but Tang Cheng didn't know the specific content at all. Moreover, Tang Cheng was reluctant this time and was forced to come here by Hans.
"According to Fukuda Kiyoshige's confession and some of the results of our subsequent investigations, the Yamayuri Society is directly responsible to the Japanese royal family, and they are led by a prince from the Japanese royal family. When MacArthur counterattacked the Philippines, the Yamayuri Society members were still in the Philippines , busy burying treasures everywhere. Fukuda Kiyoshige was in Manila at the time. If he hadn’t pretended to be sick and got on the last transport ship to leave Manila, this person might have become MacArthur’s prisoner.”
Hans' words just now made Tang Cheng frown slightly. If this Japanese named Fukuda Kiyoshige pretended to be sick and got on the last transport ship to leave Manila, Tang Cheng felt that there might be something hidden in this matter. But Mickey and the others were still here. Even if Tang Cheng was suspicious, he didn't say anything right away. Although Mickey and the others were affiliated with the post-production department, these guys were almost all second-generation soldiers. Relying on family connections, they contacted the U.S. military stationed in Manila early on.
I don’t know how Mickey and the others operate. The US military in Manila, who was assisting them, simply gave Mickey and the others a few military vehicles and some small weapons, and they were allowed to move around freely. Fukuda Kiyoshige, who was kidnapped and brought to Manila, became a guide. He would first take Mickey and his group to a mountain forest outside the city according to the route he was familiar with before. According to Fukuda Kiyoshige's confession, there should be a mountain tunnel dug manually in this mountain forest to bury treasures.
After bumping along the mountain road for a long time, Tang Cheng, who was about to spit out his breakfast, finally saw that the military vehicle in front of him had stopped. Fukuda Kiyoshige's memory was correct, so following his guidance, Mickey and the others quickly found the mountain tunnel that Fukuda Kiyoshige had mentioned, but unfortunately, it had obviously been excavated. Tang Cheng, who was a little dizzy, got out of the car and walked around, and soon discovered the traces of explosions left here, and he also found several rifle shells. Looking at the length of the cartridge case and the mark on the tail, it is obviously not the Tomosaka rifle cartridge used by the Japanese army.
Mickey and the others were very annoyed. They finally found a member of the Mountain Lily Society, but they didn't expect that the place had already been excavated. After several people secretly discussed it, they all believed that the things that were dug out here were probably those that MacArthur used to transport away by plane. Hans, who did not participate in the discussion, secretly looked at each other with Tang Cheng. The two people, who had cooperated tacitly a few years ago, both saw something was wrong. If we say that when we got off the ship before, Tangcheng would still be extremely boring.
Now Tang Cheng feels that this matter is becoming more and more interesting, especially since he has realized the importance of Fukuda Kiyoshige. Mickey and his second-generation military counterparts have lived too many good lives, and they only joined the US military in the Pacific to gain seniority. They came to Manila to hunt for treasure this time just because they were too bored in Japan and ran out to have some fun. Therefore, when they saw that the things buried here were gone, they were immediately discouraged.
In the next two days, Mickey and the others just wandered around carelessly. When they had nothing to do, they mainly went into the mountains to hunt. For the past two days, Tang Cheng just pretended not to know anything. At four o'clock in the morning on the third day, when the sky was about to get light, Tang Cheng quietly carried the knocked out Fukuda Kiyoshige to another place. A few days ago, when Tang Cheng realized that something was wrong, he secretly used system skills to identify Fukuda Kiyoshige. After confirming that this guy's identity was not false and that he was indeed a member of the Mountain Lily Society, Tang Cheng secretly discussed a plan with Hans.
For two days, Tang Cheng did not make any move. Not only was he secretly observing the Japanese named Fukuda Kiyoshige, but he was also secretly wary of and observing Mickey and the others. After two days of continuous observation, he was finally able to confirm that Mickey and the others had really given up on searching for the treasure. And this Japanese named Fukuda Kiyoshige is not as honest as he looks at all. This guy must be harboring bad intentions in his heart! Therefore, Tang Cheng, who had been keeping quiet, waited until now to start his plan.
Tang Cheng carried the knocked out Fukuda Kiyoshige and ran for almost 300 meters in one breath. Then he took out a short knife and used pain to wake up the unconscious Fukuda Kiyoshige. "You don't need to know who I am, and I won't tell you! Now I give you two choices. You can shout for help, or I can use a knife to kill you here! You can also choose to tell what you know. Everything, as long as your answer does not conceal or deceive, I will choose to let you live." The short knife in Tang Cheng's hand was already pressed against Fukuda Kiyoshige's neck.
Fukuda Kiyoshige, who was possessed by a sharp blade, initially wanted to deceive Tang Cheng with lies, but he didn't know that when Tang Cheng asked questions, he had already used system skills to copy relevant memory fragments from his mind. Therefore, when the answer given by Fukuda Kiyoshige did not match the content of the memory fragment copied by Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng did not hesitate at all and directly pierced Fukuda Kiyoshige's left hand with a short knife. The scream was blocked in Fukuda Kiyoshige's throat by a piece of rag. The pain in his left hand made Fukuda Kiyoshige panic.
When Mickey and the others first caught him, Fukuda Kiyoshige had also been interrogated, but Mickey and the others were too soft-handed and just casually used a belt to teach Fukuda Kiyoshige a few times. But Tang Cheng is different. He is really good at killing people. Moreover, Tang Cheng has no good impression of the Japanese from the bottom of his heart. Naturally, he will not consider the severity when he strikes. "I tell you now for the last time, if you want to live, tell everything you know. If you want to die, you can try to deceive me again and see if I will kill you."
Fukuda Kiyoshige, who had been severely punished by Tang Cheng's subordinates, really became honest now. According to Tang Cheng's inquiry, he honestly told everything he knew. According to Fukuda Kiyoshige, this guy really pretended to be sick and sneaked onto the last transport ship leaving Manila before the U.S. military counterattacked the Philippines. But before he left, several thefts had occurred in the warehouse area on the Manila docks. Among the warehouses that the Yamayuri Association is responsible for, there is one warehouse that has been sneaked into continuously.
But what is strange is that after an inventory, nothing was missing from the warehouse that was continuously sneaked into. Isn't it surprising that he risked being caught by the military police and sneaked into a heavily guarded warehouse without taking anything away? At that time, people in Manila were panic-stricken. There were whispers everywhere that the U.S. military was about to counterattack the Philippines. Japanese expats in Manila who had some connections were planning to leave. But in Manila at that time, no Japanese ships could enter the port. In other words, the US military in the Pacific commanded by MacArthur had blocked the Philippine waters.
Fukuda Kiyoshige has a small power. He has quietly contacted the military police commander in Manila very early, so he is fairly familiar with the current situation in the Philippines. The order given by the Japanese army base camp to the Japanese army in the Philippines was to launch defense on the spot to gain time for preparations for a local counterattack. There was nothing wrong with the order itself, but after Fukuda Kiyoshige's analysis, he suddenly discovered that the base camp was preparing to abandon them.
