I am a super cop

"How many secrets of Centennial Peak do you know?" This was Gu Chen's direct question to Liu Xiangmei.

In Gu Chen's view, Liu Xiangmei is undoubtedly the most critical link among these people.

It can be said that without Liu Xiangmei's existence, Scar Man and his team would not have been able to stay around Centenary Peak.

Especially now, when Liu Xiangmei can no longer pretend, breaking through Liu Xiangmei's defense as soon as possible is obviously what Gu Chen wants most.

"Centennial Peak has actually been around since the time of my ex-husband."

"Start with what?" Lu Qiang became more and more confused as he listened, and quickly asked.

Liu Xiangmei looked up at Lu Qiang and said slowly: "We found out before that the ancestors of Hemu Village were the first ones to migrate to Hemu Village."

"They were once ancient nobles in the north. Due to the war, they carried a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry and fled from the north to the south to avoid the war."

"In the days that followed, in order to avoid being chased by their enemies, they hid in Hemu Village and began to take root, which is now Hemu Village."

With a faint sigh, Liu Xiangmei continued: "But later, the group of old people in charge of the wealth gradually died, and fewer and fewer people heard the news."

"In the end, only the village chief's family kept this secret, but this secret was finally recorded by the village chief's family in the form of a map."

"It contains a lot of information, all about the treasure."

"Is it buried in Centennial Peak?" Lu Weiwei asked curiously after hearing this.

Liu Xiangmei nodded silently: "Yes, but the map used was a sheepskin map. There were actually some backup plans for various terrains."

"I'm just afraid that once this map is taken away by others, the wealth that originally belongs to Hemu Village will be taken away."

"Therefore, generally only the village chief and his family can understand this kind of map, in order to protect Hemu Village."

"Because they were hunted by their enemies, the villagers of Hemu Village have always lived anonymously and lived a very low-key life. Later, they merged with the locals from Tai City and slowly developed to the current population."

"And that wealth is the capital for Hemu Village to make a comeback if it suffers a disaster in the future."

"Moreover, this wealth is also the wealth of all the villagers in Hemu Village, but it has been slowly taken over by the big family in the village."

"Due to keeping it a secret, fewer and fewer people know about this secret, but the treasure map has always existed."

"Do you have the map in your hand?" Gu Chen seemed to have guessed the situation when he heard this.

Liu Xiangmei nodded silently: "Yes, it was by chance that my husband met a member of the big family in Hemu Village. But after all, that map was left behind many years ago. Even if it is well preserved, it is difficult to understand. The meaning inside.”

"What do you mean? It means that even their own people can't understand that map?" Lu Weiwei felt more and more interesting after hearing this.

Liu Xiangmei continued to nod and admitted proactively: "That's right, because that sheepskin map only records a certain terrain in Centennial Peak."

"But you also know that the Centennial Peak Mountain is high in mountains and densely forested, and it covers a wide area."

“Coupled with so many years of development and changes, a lot of the terrain no longer exists.”

"Especially those flat areas that were there back then are definitely covered in vegetation now."

When she said this, Liu Xiangmei sniffed and choked:

"So, this map actually has little reference value now, but the family in Hemu Village still wants to find the treasure from many years ago."

"But because they couldn't do anything about this kind of map, they didn't want people to know about it, so they asked about my ex-husband."

"Isn't your ex-husband in the medicine purchasing business?" Officer Wang heard this and said quickly.

Liu Xiangmei nodded silently: "Yes, my ex-husband was in the medicinal materials business on the surface, but he really made his fortune by robbing tombs."

"What? Tomb robbery?" Lu Weiwei was in disbelief when she heard this.

When Liu Xiangmei saw this, she also smiled bitterly and said, "Don't make such a fuss. In those days, everyone was very miserable and it was not easy to have enough to eat."

"Anyone who can make a little fortune can't do anything but follow some sideways ways."

"To be honest, my ex-husband was very poor back then, but in order to make a living, he could only do some tomb robbing work."

"It was at that time that I exchanged some capital for some antiques stolen from the cemetery."

"But he also knows that doing this kind of thing is a bit unkind and may lead to retribution."

"So, after he saved some money, he switched to the business of purchasing medicinal materials, which he did for many years."

After a pause, Liu Xiangmei sighed, and continued: "But, after all, he has been in the tomb robbing business, and many people know his abilities."

"And the descendant of the big family in Hemu Village also found my ex-husband through these gossips, and wanted my ex-husband to help us find the treasure together in Centenary Peak."

"And he also promised that if the wealth is found, then all the wealth will be divided in half."

"Is there such a thing?" Lu Qiang's jaw dropped when he heard about this transaction.

Liu Xiangmei sighed and said slowly: "At the beginning, the opponent wanted three or seven points, three for us and seven for him."

"However, it takes a lot of time, energy and wealth to find this kind of wealth without any basis. It is a business that will lose money at first sight."

"So there was no other way. After all kinds of bargaining, it was finally determined that everyone would split the money 50-50. Only then did my ex-husband agree to help them find wealth."

"Then what did you do next? It was in the name of purchasing medicinal materials, but in fact, it was just to go into the mountains to find treasures, right?" Gu Chen also guessed something.

Liu Xiangmei nodded silently and echoed: "Yes, if you want to find the vague location on the sheepskin map in the mountains, the ability of one person is limited."

"It just so happens that my ex-husband is in the business of purchasing medicinal materials, and many families in Hemu Village and surrounding villages also make a living by going to the mountains to collect medicinal materials."

"And the descendants of the big family in Hemu Village at that time also valued these channels of my ex-husband, so they approached him for cooperation."

"So, during that time, my ex-husband took a group of young adults from surrounding villages to collect medicine in Baisui Peak Mountain."

"Moreover, every time I go into the mountains, it can take at least four or five days, or as long as a week. It's fake to collect herbs, but it's real to explore the terrain."

"So that's it?" After listening to Liu Xiangmei's explanation, Gu Chen finally understood the real operating procedures of this group of people.

Lu Qiang on the side also said angrily: "After that, did you find the burial address of the treasure?"

Liu Xiangmei shook her head: "No, I went in to search many places and tried many routes."

"Every time I go into the mountains, my ex-husband will plan various routes and then start to check them all."

"While others collect herbs, he is responsible for exploring the terrain and guiding these people collecting herbs to where they want to go."

"In this way, his survival is guaranteed. With the help of these villagers, he will not get lost and unable to get out."

"But year after year, there was never any clue. Finally, as the surrounding roads were built, many villagers living around Baisui Peak chose to work outside."

"There are very few people who really want to go into the mountains to collect herbs, and after putting in a lot of effort, my ex-husband finally had to give up cooperation and quit looking for that wealth."

"Is there such a thing?" Lu Qiang was stunned as he listened to Liu Xiangmei's various stories.

He didn't expect that a centenarian peak would contain so many secrets.

Moreover, all these medicinal collection operations back then were actually for the purpose of finding treasures.

But does this treasure really exist? No one knows, it has become a mystery.

Gu Chen crossed his arms and thought for a few seconds before continuing to ask: "Liu Xiangmei, after all these years, the search for treasures at Centennial Peak has ended."

"Why? Why at this time? Are you starting to move around Centennial Peak again?"

"Also, how did you get together with the Scar Man's team that appeared this time?" This is actually what Gu Chen has always wanted to know.

After all, there must be a reason why the action that took place so many years ago ended but suddenly started again.

Especially Scar Man, they are all outsiders, but they have begun to investigate around Centennial Peak.

And for the sake of these treasures that he didn't know were true or false, he actually started killing people, which was really hard for Gu Chen to imagine.

After hearing Gu Chen's inquiry, Liu Xiangmei also sighed and said slowly:

"Actually, I don't know what happened. In fact, I didn't know Scar Man's group at the beginning."

"But, one day, they found me in my hometown village and took out an antique and asked me about the whereabouts of the Centennial Peak treasure."

"What?" When he heard this, Officer Wang couldn't help but was stunned, and quickly stepped forward and asked:

"Wait a minute, didn't you? Didn't you find the treasure at first? Then why? Why did the scarred man have antiques? And he asked you about the treasure at Centennial Peak?"

"Ahem." Faced with Officer Wang's question, Liu Xiangmei coughed twice.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei had no choice but to go to the water dispenser and pour Liu Xiangmei a glass of water.

Liu Xiangmei took the hot water, took a sip, and then said slowly:

"At first, when they came to me and asked me these questions, I was totally confused."

"Because it has been many years since this incident, and very few people knew about it at the time."

"Especially because we are very strict with our words. Although we are no longer with my ex-husband, we never mentioned a word about this matter because it is against the rules."

With a faint sigh, Liu Xiangmei thought briefly, and then said again:

"I wasn't very clear at first, so I pretended to be crazy, but they didn't seem to accept this trick."

"Especially the scarred man. He showed off the antique in front of me, saying that it was obtained from Centenary Peak Mountain. Moreover, he also clearly knew the secret of Centenary Peak Mountain."

"I saw that I couldn't hide it, so I asked him how he knew?"

"Then what did he say?" Gu Chen asked.

"He didn't say anything?" Liu Xiangmei shook her head and continued to explain:

"He didn't tell me how he knew it, but he knew very well that my ex-husband and I were at the foot of Centenary Peak, and under the guise of purchasing medicinal materials, we had explored many locations in Centenary Peak. complete."

"But I told him that I did follow my ex-husband in search of the treasure at Centennial Peak, but my original efforts were not rewarded. The location was never found."

"Yes, you said it yourself, you can't find it at all, but how could the antiques in Centennial Peak appear in the hands of the scarred man?" Lu Weiwei really couldn't figure it out.

However, Liu Xiangmei smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "This must be the scarred man who was told by someone who knew the news."

"Also, I'm not sure if that antique really comes from Centennial Peak, but I'm sure they may have been deceived."

"Have you been deceived?" Officer Wang looked stunned, pointed at Liu Xiangmei, shook his finger, and continued:

"Speak clearly. You said the scarred man was deceived. What's going on?"

"Haha." After laughing twice, Liu Xiangmei couldn't help but said:

"The reason is very simple. My ex-husband and I spent so much energy but couldn't find where the treasure was buried. But how did this scarred man get the treasure in the mountains?"

"Obviously, someone wanted Scar Man to take action and find the treasure, so they used this antique to lie and claim it was buried in Centennial Peak Mountain."

"Then where did the scarred man get the antique in his hands?" Gu Chen asked.

Liu Xiangmei hesitated for a few seconds, and then said slowly: "It seems to be obtained from the market, it seems to be from a casino, right?"

"Someone lost money and couldn't repay the debt, so he borrowed money from Scar Man, and Scar Man was originally in the loan business."

"So, through dealing with these debtors, I found out that there is such a huge secret hidden in Centennial Peak Mountain."

When she said this, Liu Xiangmei also shook her head and said with a wry smile:

"I really didn't expect that the scarred man would be so persistent. Not only did he believe these lies, but he also found a group of outdoor hikers to help him hunt for treasures in the mountains."

"Then why did he find you again?" Lu Weiwei couldn't understand either.

But Liu Xiangmei said with a smile: "They are afraid that once they find the treasure, there will be no response, so they need to plan in advance."

"Because I have always lived at the foot of that hidden mountain. That place used to be the temporary residence of my ex-husband and his herb collection team."

"So, I know the situation there very well, especially the mountain roads there. I am familiar with them."

"As for Scar Man, he took a fancy to these abilities of mine, so he asked me to come out and help them."

"They promised that once they find the treasure, they will leave me a sum of money as retirement money."

"Then you agree?" Lu Qiang said.

At this moment, Liu Xiangmei was on the verge of tears: "Can I not agree? Those people are not good people. They can do anything."

"Under the threat of such people, all I, an old woman can do, is to agree and cooperate with them."

"As for whether I can find that wealth? I don't know, but I know that I can't escape."

"Even if I quit their team, they won't let me go because I know too much."

"So that's it?" After listening to Liu Xiangmei's various explanations, Lu Qiang also twirled his fingers and said involuntarily:

"That is to say, they are still looking for the treasure, but they may have made some progress now, right? Otherwise, why would their team be fighting each other?"

"Generally speaking, before benefits are achieved, everyone should work together. Only when a secret is reached, various irreconcilable conflicts will arise due to uneven distribution of wealth."

"It ended up being a tragedy of cannibalism, but the fact that it's happening now shows that things have progressed to this point."

"That's right." As soon as Lu Qiang finished speaking, Gu Chen echoed:

"If the treasure hadn't been found, there would be no need for these people to kill each other. Maybe this scarred man really has that kind of extraordinary ability and can find that wealth in the hinterland of Centennial Peak with complex terrain."

"That's why he decided to silence all the people around him who had different intentions, so that there would be assassinations like those on Centennial Peak."

"Oh, it seems that these people have really been found?" Listening to Gu Chen's words, Officer Wang walked back and forth anxiously, then suddenly stopped, waved his hand to Gu Chen and said:

"Gu Chen, it seems that these people know where the treasure is, but they are currently unable to transport the treasure to the bottom of the mountain, or in other words, they cannot transport the treasure out for the time being."

"So, maybe that's why they stay in the mountains."

"But the question is, Yuan Shasha and Yanzi, why did they disappear? Could it be because the two of them accidentally stumbled into the secrets of this gang when they went to Baisui Peak Mountain, so they were kidnapped or killed by these gangs ?" Lu Weiwei became increasingly afraid to think about it.

But this is exactly the problem that everyone needs to face now.

At this moment, no one made a sound, and everyone looked at each other.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Officer Wang gave a tactical cough and said with a faint smile to Lu Weiwei: "Lu Weiwei, this is just your guess. Maybe this is not the case for Xiao Yuan and Yan Zi? Right Brother Qiang?"

Halfway through the words, Officer Wang quickly touched Lu Qiang's shoulder with his arm.

Lu Qiang, who instantly understood what Officer Wang meant, reacted immediately and quickly echoed to comfort him: "Lu Weiwei, Brother Wang is right. This is just your conjecture. Maybe the actual situation is not like this at all?"

"What would that be like? Xiao Yuan and Yan Zi must have encountered them?" Lu Weiwei still insisted on her opinion, and her eyes slowly began to turn a little red.

After all, everyone has already seen how cruel the Scar Man is.
