Chapter 1134: It’s Not that Complicated

Ma Jichun, who had just completed his tasks, pushed the door open and barged into the room only to be met with a surprising scene.

Zhao Yu was not standing in front of the whiteboard engrossed in deciphering the case like he normally would be. Instead, he and Miao Ying were sparring against each other like they were sizing each other up.

Noticing Ma Jichun’s arrival, Miao Ying’s shoulder shook and her fist pierced through Zhao Yu’s defense, hitting his chest.

“That’s it!” Miao Ying said, her eyes lighting up. “Zhao Yu, from what I can see, that person was not using normal fighting techniques! He was using our traditional Chinese wushu!”

“That’s right!” Zhao Yu said, patting his chest. “When I interacted with him, I felt like something was weird. His actions did not appear to be particularly violent, but they were hard to withstand. It was similar to what Secret Service agents normally use!”

“What’s even more amazing is that it’s a little ironic! Did you know? The fighting style the masked man used is famous!” She made a move and introduced it. “This is indeed the lost fist Huo Yuanjia used in the past!”

“Wow... the lost fist?” Zhao Yu exclaimed. “That sophisticated, huh?”

“The lost fist uses repairment as its goal. It trains your internal energy, the ease of arm strikes and the movement is agile, so it is known as a formal competition segment in martial arts!” Miao Ying said. “But... now there are very few people who can put the lost fist to practical use!”

Listening to Miao Ying’s explanation, all the officers felt a little surprised.

“It’s a little ironic!” Zhao Yu laughed. “In the past, Huo Yuanjia used the lost fist to beat the Japanese, but now the Japanese have mastered the lost fist and used it to beat me. They really did learn from their mistakes!”

“China’s martial arts are amazing. If learned properly, they are compared to the professional techniques employed by Secret Services!” Miao Ying said. “There are many disciples who have learned the lost fit, so it’s not an exaggeration to say that it has a far reach. Plus, some of the real experts are typically pretty low key. We can’t pursue this lead, it’s too late!”

“Right...” Zhao Yu nodded and waved his fist. “But there may be a chance in the future, so teach it to me too! This technique is good...”

“Uhm...” At that moment, Ma Jichun saw that Zhao Yu and Miao Ying’s discussion had ended and hurriedly cut in. “Leader Zhao, I have brought the results of the decryption. Have a look!

“From the looks of it, it does not seem too optimistic. There are no visible hints in the photo!”

“Eh!” Hearing this, Cui Lizhu couldn’t help but feel a little deflated. “I have already said this, but my dad is the master thief Tao Xiang. If there were really any leads on the Russian doll, he would definitely have found them!”

When this was brought up, Ma Jichun passed some information over to Li Beini and continued, saying “Leader Zhao, all the bombs in the fortress have been completely removed. There was a total of eight C4 bomb compounds in the fortress. Can you believe that?!”

“What?!” Cui Lizhu was scared stiff. “That many?”

“You guys were really lucky!” Ma Jichun said. “Apart from the one that Leader Zhao defused, the other bomb ignition systems on the others had problems. If even one had gone off, the consequences would be hard to imagine!”

“Oh, f*ck!” Zhao Yu ran forward when he heard this. “Wow, that’s pretty sick! Is it because the cave was wet? Were the bombs affected because of that? Hahaha...”

Zhao Yu’s dry laughter made the whole atmosphere even more awkward.

“This... this isn’t about luck!” Zhang Jingfeng said, pinching his nose. “The chance of this is less than the chance of winning the lottery, right?”

“The way I see it...” Wu Xiumin said, “It’s not that the bombs weren’t working, but the enemies planned it on purpose! Maybe they have some other motive...”

“Then... what about the treasure?” Miao Ying asked. “Are there any new discoveries?”

“The search team has already searched the area thoroughly once,” Ma Jichun answered. “There is definitely no more treasure in the living areas. But, inside they found six secret passageways. Some of which were blocked, while some were bombed to pieces. We still need to clean up the debris before we can continue with our search!”

“It’s probably not there!” Liu Zhanbing said. “That group of people has been searching the fortress for so long, if the treasure was there, they would definitely have found it by now!”

“Oh, right...” Ma Jichun suddenly remembered something else. “We have also investigated the Tian family and found out that Tian Zheng’s grandfather is a really highly ranked Japanese official!

“His name is Bao Tiantai. He is an internal affairs officer and also the secretary!” Ma Jichun said. “From the looks of it, there is a chance he would have dealt with the innermost core secrets of the Guan Dong army!”

“Japan hid hints about the doll and gave it to Bao Tiantai to safeguard...” Cui Lizhu guessed. “Bao Tiantai stayed in China, so...”

“According to the information we have on hand,” Ma Jichun said, interrupting Cui Lizhu, “After the war, Bao Tiantai has been staying in China, probably as a spy and possibly preparing for a comeback!

“But due to some unknown reasons, it wasn’t long before Bao Tiantai passed away. The Russian doll was left to his son, who was Tian Zheng’s father. But by the time it reached Tian Zheng’s hands, the secret behind the Russian doll had already been leaked!”

“I think...” Wu Xiumin began, proffering his guess, “For a secret as important as this, the Japanese army wouldn’t have entrusted it all to one person. They must have left other clues in the country!”

“But because of one political incident where there was a misunderstanding, they themselves now can’t find it!” Ma Jichun said. “So, the Japanese side’s only hope was to find Bao Tiantai’s descendants to retrieve the doll.”

“We have been going around in circles, but at the end of the day we still need to find the doll!” Zhao Yu said, displaying the information Ma Jichun brought on the big screen. “So, our current task of the utmost urgency is to solve this mystery!”

“But...” Zhang Jingfeng said sounding worried, “If so many experts at decryption couldn’t solve this, could it be this lead is no good?”

“Regardless of whether or not there’s been a mistake, the Russian doll is our only chance!” Miao Ying said, putting her foot down on the matter.

“Actually...” Zhao Yu flipped through the details on the screen and thought about the case carefully. “I think there really is a secret within the doll. Maybe things are not as complicated as we think they are!”

“Oh?” Everyone looked at the doll on the big screen.

“Think about it,” Zhao Yu said. “Japan lost the war quickly, which would mean they had very little time to hide the treasure. They still had to choose someone to keep the treasure and leave clues behind. Where did they find the time to plan and execute such an intricate plan?

“Therefore...” Zhao Yu said, using a laser pen and pointing at the dolls on the screen, “I think the secret may be on the doll itself!”

“Oh?” Everyone was confused and looked on seriously.

“Look at this,” Zhao Yu pointed at the dolls. “These five dolls look exactly the same. That might mean they are referring to the same person! Now look, this doll is dressed in red from head to toe and looks very mature. I think she is about to get married!”

“What you’re saying is...” Miao Ying asked with uncertainty, “If we know who the woman depicted in the dolls is, the mystery will be unraveled?”
