World Tibet Bureau

Chapter 764: The world is stormy
I snorted coldly: "If you had been so honest earlier, it would have ended!"

Lao Ben: "..."

I threw a cigarette to him and lit another one for myself.

"No beating around the bush, save some time! Just answer yes or no!"

"After so many days at sea, you have found the specific location of Qin's sunken ship earlier than Prince Xiya's team, right?"

When Lao Ben heard this, his eyes widened.

My face suddenly darkened.

When Lao Ben saw this, he nodded hastily: "Yes!"

I asked again: "Your family is under great financial pressure, and you don't want to miss this opportunity to make a fortune, so you have set two major goals. One is to steal the Qin bronze sword, and the other is to prepare to take measures to force the West to Prince Ya’s team should give up salvage and leave completely so that they can live alone, right?”

Lao Ben nodded again: "That's right."

I continued to ask: "But our sudden appearance and some weird ways of doing things made you suspicious. You didn't understand our identity and were very worried that we would delay your plan. Seeing that the Xiya Prince's team had roughly circled the area during the day In the sea area where Qin’s ship sank, you are going to attack us quietly tonight, right?”

The cold sweat on Lao Ben's forehead got worse: "Yes."

I looked at him coldly and said nothing.

Lao Ben's hand holding the cigarette was shaking, and he said in a trembling voice: "Boss Lao, can I ask you a question?"

I replied: "Ask!"

Lao Ben asked: "How...how did you discover this?"

Next, I need Lao Ben’s cooperation.

I don’t hide it anymore.

"First, when I came here on the first day, the translator asked us to identify Qin bronze swords and bronze fragments. The security of the treasure tent was very tight, but in the corner of the tent, I found a piece of Seven Wolf White Wolf cigarette. Cigarette butts. I didn’t take it seriously at the time, but later I observed that among all the people who smoke on the island, you are the only one from Fujian Province who specializes in smoking this kind of white wolf that costs ten yuan.”

"This shows that you have entered the tent where the treasure is hidden, but I have asked others and it is strictly forbidden for outsiders to enter this tent. Except for our appraisers and the core staff of Prince Xiya, no one else can enter at all. Your identity this time is just A laborer who is detecting the location of Prince Xiya, what is he doing here?"

"Grave robbers only look at things to seize treasures! But that day you must have felt that the opportunity was not suitable. You took a few quick glances and left without even having time to clean up traces such as cigarette butts. I began to have serious doubts about you, and this is also The reason why I took the initiative to approach you later!"

Lao Ben looked extremely surprised and was stunned for a long time: "Is there still... is there any more?"

I replied: "Second, later on you became familiar with me and took the initiative to come to our tent to eat with us. But during the process of making soup, you took advantage of us not paying attention and secretly stuffed a small thing in Hu Qin's mouth. Inside the bag, his technique is so skillful that he can’t even notice it!”

"After you left, I put Hu Qin away and went to look through her bag. I found that it was a miniature blasting remote control stuffed in a compartment of her bag. I couldn't find it without rummaging carefully! I At that time, I didn’t know who you were and what you wanted to do. I was worried that I might alert others, so I quietly took this thing away and hid it in a pile of rocks far away.” “Later, I kept a cold eye on you and found that no matter whether it was your turn to go into the sea or not, Every evening when the treasure hunting boat comes back, you will go over enthusiastically and get on the boat to help pack things. I specifically told Mavericks that day to observe the guarding of the treasure hunting machine and keep an eye on you. He came back and told me if he saw you on the boat. We quietly got off the deck when we were alone.”

"If I'm not wrong, you should have installed explosive charges in a secret part of the deck. I guess you have two remote controls in your hand, one in your hand and one in Hu Qin's bag. You plan to do it if something goes wrong with your plan. , so that you can completely blame us and leave yourself a way out, right?!"

The muscles on Lao Ben's face twitched, and he looked at me like an alien: "Boss Lao, you..."

I continued: "Third, what happened next was the treasure-hunting machine! Although my companion peed in the treasure-hunting machine, this sophisticated marine treasure-hunting instrument must have very good waterproof measures. Why? Maybe just one pee completely burned out the circuit? This can only mean that there must be other things added inside!"

"But I have seen the robustness and confidentiality of the instrument. It is very good. If you want to add things to destroy it, you must know the specific structure inside the machine. And the people who understand the structure, except for some people in Prince Xiya's team , only the sea monkeys who go to sea with the machine every day can have time to study its specific internal structure."

"You have every opportunity to do research, and you happened to be guarding the machine that night, and you had enough time to commit the crime. I really can't think of anyone else on the entire island who could cause such a big malfunction in the machine."

When Lao Ben heard this, he was completely convinced and replied: "Yes, I did put something in it. These days, I deliberately watch others play cards but don't play myself. I'm just waiting for the gambling addiction of a man who keeps the machine. Come up here, seize the opportunity he gives me to guard the machine, and completely damage it.”

"After I went in, I happened to see a pool of urine inside, so I decided to take action without hesitation. I thought that even if something happened, because you have come to cause damage, I can bring you to muddy the water. Prince Xiya There is no concrete evidence and you can’t catch me.”

I said coldly: "I didn't expect you underestimated Prince Xiya. Not only did he prepare several machines, but he actually knew in his heart that the damage to the machines was not caused by urine. It's just that he didn't have the evidence for a while. He had no choice but to act stupid and deal with it in that way, but in fact he has not given up the investigation until now!"

Lao Ben nodded and asked: "Boss Lao, can I ask what your identities are?"

I replied: "You have no right to ask me! Explain your own plan first!"

Lao Ben said: "Prince Xiya's team has preliminarily delineated the sea area where Qin's shipwreck was located during the day. He plans to let seven sea monkeys take a treasure hunter to the sea tomorrow to completely determine the location of Qin's shipwreck on the seabed. With the skills of these people, tomorrow I will definitely find it. Originally, I planned to blow up the treasure hunt ship. As long as all the sea monkeys are killed, the location of the sunken ship on the seabed will not be discovered."

"I pretended to be injured and escaped, and then I tried to find a way to pass the blame on you, because you had the explosive remote control on your body. With so many people dead and a mole coming out, the Prince of Xiya team will definitely be in chaos for a short time. I took advantage of the chaos and stole it. The Qin Bronze Sword is hidden elsewhere on the island. Without the Sea Monkey, Prince Xiya's team is blind. For the time being, they cannot find the location of the sunken ship of Qin's ship. They will definitely evacuate first and wait until they find the top Sea Monkey again. Comeback.”

"But before they come next time, I took a few brothers in advance to return to the shipwreck area, took away all the treasures and bronze swords from the Qin ship, and left them at most with some leftovers... Originally This is the plan, but at tonight’s dance, I saw you deliberately drugging me, and then you quietly left the camp.”

"I'm very nervous. I originally ambush you here, wanting to defeat you and find out your identities thoroughly so that I can decide on the implementation or changes of the next plan, but I didn't expect your martial arts to be so powerful..."

This is really cruel!

Laying mines, killing people, scapegoating, seizing treasures...

The situation between us and Lao Ben is very similar to the scene described in a poem: you stand on the bridge and look at the scenery, and the people watching the scenery are watching you upstairs...

When you are aiming your shotgun at your prey, there is someone behind you who is preparing to hunt you.

The world is stormy!

I asked Lao Ben: "Are you willing to cooperate?"
