Zhu Yu, Ran Jie and others waited in Jakarta for three days before Carpio came to the door again. Lan
Zhu Yu and Ran Jie were not idle during these three days. They bought a villa in downtown Jakarta.
According to Zhu Yu, because of the big island, he will always stay in Jakarta in the future. Instead of staying in a hotel every time, it is better to buy a villa, which is more convenient.
After buying a villa, Zhu Yu regretted it again and said to Ran Jie:
"I should have kept a set of that liar's villa if I had known it. It would have been convenient - it would be uneconomical to buy it now."
Having said that, Zhu Yu was actually just complaining. With the money he earned from each treasure hunt now, it was no longer a problem to buy several villas, so he was just complaining.
Ran Jie and others knew it, so they just smiled and didn't answer.
Zhu Yu received Carpio and the friends he brought with him at the new villa. Lan
When Carpio entered the villa, Zhu Yu also said to Ran Jie:
"I didn't expect this guy to move so fast. I heard him say that he still had the first two diaries and thought he had them in his hand. Later I found out that they were not there, so others would not let them go easily if they were holding them.
So he thought that even if he could get it done, it would only take him ten days and a half, but he didn't expect it to be done so quickly. "
Ran Jie was actually quite surprised, but he didn't say anything. On the contrary, Cao Dalong said disapprovingly:
"This Carpio is rich, so he probably threw money at it, right?"
Zhu Yu thought it was possible. After all, he had planned to spend money on himself before.
This is the greatest possibility. Lan
Two luxury cars stopped at the entrance of the villa, and Zhu Yu watched Picao get down. What surprised him was that this time, after Piccio got off first, he didn't come directly. Instead, he went to the car behind him, opened the door himself, and helped an old man in his sixties or seventies get out.
The old man's body was hunched over, and he looked very old, with a heavy expression.
Carpio helped the old man to the door of the villa. Zhu Yu stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation:
"Mr. Carpio, this old man, please come in."
After entering the villa, Qin Fei brought tea. Carpio helped the old man sit down, and then said to Zhu Yu:
"Mr. Zhu, this old man Saifan is the owner of the first and second diaries."
"Hello, old man!" Zhu Yu greeted the old man. Lan
The old man said to Zhu Yu in less proficient English: "Hello, young man, I heard that you have the third diary in your hand? Can I see it?"
"Okay, but I also want to read the first and second diaries." Zhu Yu responded politely.
The old man didn't say anything. He lowered his head and took out a cloth bag from his arms. He placed it on the coffee table and opened it layer by layer, revealing the two diaries inside.
Zhu Yu glanced at it, and with Tianqi's eyes, he recognized that it was indeed from the same period and made of the same material as the diary he got.
Although I haven’t seen the contents yet, they should be the first and second diaries that Carpio mentioned.
Zhu Yu nodded and went upstairs. When he came down, he already had a diary in his hand.
This is the diary I got from Qin Che. Lan
Old Saipan's eyes suddenly brightened when he saw the diary in Zhu Yu's hand. He stood up, took a step towards Zhu Yu's direction, and finally stopped.
Zhu Yu handed the diary to the old man. The old man opened it and read the first page, then flipped randomly in the middle, and finally closed it.
Zhu Yu also picked up the two diaries and flipped through them casually.
At this time, Carpio's heart was in his throat.
Fortunately, Zhu Yu knew the rules and did not read through both diaries.
Old Saipan put down his diary and said to Zhu Yu:
"Young man, you are very lucky. I heard that you are going to hunt for treasure with this Carpio?" Lan
Zhu Yu nodded.
"Okay." Saifan sighed and said, "I'm old."
After speaking, he pushed his two diaries to Carpio.
Carpio was so excited that he immediately took out his checkbook, wrote a check and handed it to Sefan.
Saifan stuffed the check into his pocket without even looking at it, and then said to Zhu Yu:
"Wish ya'll good luck."
After finishing speaking, he said to Carpio: Lan
"Find someone to take me back."
Carpio immediately waved his hand, and the people who came with him respectfully helped old Saifan out of the villa.
Carpio immediately took the two diaries into his hands, with a proud look on his face.
Zhu Yu smiled and said:
"It seems that if there was not a third diary, Old Saipan might not be willing to take out the first two."
Zhu Yu meant something. Although Carpio was thick-skinned, he knew that he needed to cooperate, so he had to recognize this, so he said simply:
"Yes. Old Saipan said that he would not hand over the first two diaries unless he saw the third diary. I have borrowed your influence, Mr. Zhu, so if the treasure is found, my The share can be five percent less than yours." Lan
Zhu Yu nodded, it was good to be able to win these.
"Next, let's discuss how to cooperate." Carpio is an activist. He sat down and said, "Mr. Zhu, I think we should be more honest."
"Of course we can be more honest." Zhu Yu said with a smile, "But for this first cooperation, the two parties have no basis for trust, so it is better to discuss a safer method."
Carpio originally wanted both parties to list all the place names involved in the diary and search for them one by one.
Zhu Yu obviously disagreed.
"I don't covet the place names in your diary, and you don't want to take my side. This is my opinion.
There are a total of fifteen place names recorded in my diary here, and there should be almost twenty names in your two diaries. Each of us named a place and started investigating. "Lan
Carpio thought for a moment and decided that this was more fair.
"Then in the end, the place names on my side are the only ones left?" Carpio asked a redundant question.
"I haven't finished talking yet. You first need to find out how many place names there are on your side. In the meantime, just add one more place name on your side a few times in a row." Zhu Yu said matter-of-factly, "After all, I don't have this diary. Ben, I can’t get your diary either.”
This was agreed in advance. Although Carpio felt that he was at a loss, there was nothing he could do about it.
Then he checked here and found that excluding duplicates, there were twenty place names in the first two diaries.
"Thirty-five place names... is a bit much." Zhu Yu sighed.
"Actually, some places have been searched for a long time and can be eliminated." Carpio is from the Philippines and is relatively familiar with this matter. Lan
"It's best not to. Let's patiently investigate one location after another." Zhu Yu felt that since he wanted to search, he should look for it in a down-to-earth manner. After all, with the eyes of the sky, even if it was just an investigation, nothing would be wasted.
"Our operations need to be carried out secretly." Carpio reminded, "If we search openly, even if we find the treasure, it will not fall into our hands in the end."
Zhu Yu had heard about the official affairs of the Philippines.
In the early years, the more famous corrupt presidents once found a foreign company to study the treasure hidden by Yamashita Fengfumi.
After the company conducted investigation and research, it listed more than a hundred locations. However, before the locations were given to the president, news came out that the president wanted to silence him. People from the company immediately burned these place names, overnight. Back to the United States.
This matter is over.
From now on, no company will dare to take on official tasks in this area. Lan
So Zhu Yu naturally understood what Carpio said.
"Let's just pretend to be tourists." Zhu Yu said, "You are quite famous over there, so it's best to dress up or change your identity."
Carpio is a famous treasure hunter. He is quite public and well-known. If he really wants to appear all over the Philippines, it will be really troublesome.
Carpio naturally knew that he was in trouble, so he nodded and said, "Actually, my idea is that I can go to other places to attract attention, and I will send someone to follow you to investigate."
Zhu Yu nodded, and the matter was settled.
To show his sincerity, Carpio gave the first place name - the port of San Fernando.
According to the records in the first diary, Yamashita Fengfumi once spent some time in the Japanese military camp near the port, so this was the first investigation point. Lan
After reporting the place name, Carpio left. He was going to Malaysia to participate in a high-profile event. The person who stayed behind to cooperate with Zhu Yu and the others in the investigation was a younger brother of Carpio's named Du Peng.
Du Peng is in his mid-twenties, has darker skin, and is taller than Carpio, about 1.7 meters tall. He always had a smile on his face, and his English was not very good, so he could barely understand him.
In Carpio's words, when you go to the Philippines, you can leave the food, accommodation and transportation to Du Peng, and Zhu Yu and the others can just give him some symbolic money.
It was not difficult to get from Indonesia to the Philippines. Zhu Yu and the others said goodbye to Chen Yonghao and once again asked him to take care of the people of the newly established overseas group who came from the big island to provide life supplies. Then they followed Du Peng to San Fernando.
San Fernando is located in the west of the Philippines, close to the South China Sea. Judging from the map, it is actually relatively close to the nine-dash line or the twelve-dash line.
Huangyan Island cannot be seen with the naked eye, but when he got here, looking at the sea and thinking that the South China Sea of China was not far away, Zhu Yu still felt a little excited.
"It's a pity that we won't be allowed to pass." After all, there is a regret. Lan
Because his ID card is from Xinjiang Province, for some reasons, Zhu Yu cannot enter Sansha City, the largest city in the country, from China. It must be said that this is a pity.
Fortunately, he just felt sorry for it, and then he stayed in a hotel in San Fernando under Dupont's arrangement.
San Fernando is a port city in southern Luzon Island, Philippines, and the capital of Pampanga Province. It is located along a tributary of the Pampanga River, 56 kilometers southeast of Manila. The city is not big or prosperous, and the atmosphere of a Southeast Asian island country is more obvious.
Staying here, Zhu Yu and the others followed the local customs, changed into local clothes, and started wandering around.
Du Peng took Zhu Yu and the others to a place in the north of the port. While visiting, he said:
"This is where the Japanese military camp used to be. They were stationed at the port, and their training was just to the north, and sometimes they would go into the mountains."
The implication is that the scope of activities is relatively large. Lan
Zhu Yu and the others were not too surprised. This kind of thing was not something that could be determined at a glance. After all, his eyes are not high-power radar or remote sensing satellites.
So we still need to look at it step by step.
Fortunately, Zhu Yu had enough patience, and the treasures in Fengshan Mountain at the foot of the mountain were indeed very attractive, so he combined Du Peng's introduction on the map, circled a large area, and began to plot areas in the area for investigation every day.
Du Peng accepted Carpio's order to cooperate with Zhu Yu and the others in searching for clues, so he followed Zhu Yu every day, and then reported Zhu Yu and the others' every move at night to Carpio.
Although Zhu Yu visited every day, just like taking a walk, he walked here and there, which made Du Peng very puzzled. Carpio was also puzzled, but he did not interfere with Zhu Yu's actions and just asked Du Peng to follow suit. , good service and good records.
After about a week of this, Zhu Yu said to Du Peng:
"There are no clues here in San Fernando, let's change places." Lan
Du Peng was a little confused. Is there no clue?
He didn't see how Zhu Yu and the others confirmed that this was not a treasure trove.
But since Zhu Yu said so, he faithfully reported it to Carpio.
Carpio immediately called Zhu Yu to ask about the matter.
Zhu Yu naturally told him about the "feng shui" thing.
Fortunately, Southeast Asians are more receptive to this than Westerners, Carpio looked like he suddenly understood.
It turns out that Zhu Yu’s success rate in treasure hunting was so high in the past because he understood Feng Shui! Lan
It would be great!
So Zhu Yu and the others went to the next location, a place called Baguio on Luzon Island.
It’s not too far from San Fernando, so we arrived on the same day.
In the next month, Zhu Yu, Ran Jie and the others, followed by Du Peng and others, changed places six times in a row, but found nothing.
Although some military camp relics left by the Japanese army were found in these places, nothing else was gained.
Then they arrived in Bohol.
This location was provided by Zhu Yu. Lan
Of the first six places, Zhu Yu provided two, and Du Peng provided four according to Carpio's instructions. According to him, they have done a very good job.
There is a famous Chocolate Mountain in Bohol. There are only two or three such places in the world and it is considered a tourist attraction.
In Zhu Yuna's third diary, Bohol Island once served as one of the strongholds of the Japanese army to resist the Allied attack.
Yamashita Fengfumi stayed here for as long as a month, so this is a more likely location.
Under the leadership of Du Peng, Zhu Yu and the others stayed in a "B&B" owned by local Cebuanos. Dressed like typical tourists, they went out early and came back late every day, "wandering" around the island, looking for places where treasures might be buried.
On the second day on the island, Zhu Yu and the others gained something.
The central part of the island is hilly and limestone. It is a place with relatively little human experience. Zhu Yu and others found a cave area. Lan
Not long after entering the cave, Zhu Yu and the others found some materials suspected to be left behind by the Japanese army. There were decayed bullet boxes, broken weapons, empty cans.
Going further in, they even found corpses, but when they got deeper into the cave, they found other different places.
