He didn't seem surprised to see Christian, who was dressed in a suit and leather tie and looked noble.
They are all smart people.
From the moment Zhang Yong appeared at the entrance of the Peace Hotel with his luxury motorcade, he basically guessed what Zhang Yong was going to do.
"Mr. Detective, it's a pity that half a million dollars has been lost."
"You should know the truth."
"Yes. I know the truth. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to receive Mr. Rodhart when he comes!"
"Why?"
"I hope Mr. Rodhart is here to add to the problem, not to disrupt it. What do you think?"
Zhang Yong has a profound meaning.
Rodhart was silent.
Silence is also an attitude.
Zhang Yong was satisfied with the other party's attitude.
At least, the other party did not object fiercely. This shows that Mr. Rodhart also has a small calculation.
In fact, since Rodhart traveled thousands of miles to the far east to search for Christian's whereabouts, Zhang Yong knew that he was not an ordinary person. He also wanted to stand out. He also wanted to make a name for himself. However,
He lacks a chance.
"How sure are you?"
Finally, Rodhart spoke, showing that he was moved.
Push Christian up. Get rich first and then get rich later. Oh, no. It's one person who has achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven. He can also get huge benefits.
"Three points."
"What? Only three points?"
Rodhart couldn't sit still. Are you kidding me?
I'm only three points sure. How dare you...
Ah, I am really...
"Yes. Three points." Zhang Yong emphasized repeatedly.
"You..." Rodhart was sitting on pins and needles.
Not even walking.
Neither is sitting.
Both ends can't reach the shore. My feet seem to be hanging in the air.
Quiet.
a long time.
"I'm a novice with little experience." Zhang Yong said truthfully, "But if there is really gold, I will definitely be able to find it."
"I don't know how deep the gold is buried in the ground." Rodhart said angrily. "The metal detector can't even detect it. I've tried it. Even if it's sealed in reinforced concrete, the metal detector can't detect it."
It’s not accurate at all.”
"I'm very accurate." Zhang Yong replied calmly.
"You come with me..." Rodhart felt that it was necessary to give Zhang Yong a blow.
"Okay." Zhang Yong stood up with a calm expression.
Detecting gold?
Warm welcome!
Where is the gold? Central America?
It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter how far away it is, as long as it's on the earth.
Of course. Not now. But in the future. When I am free, I will search for treasures all over the world...
etc!
World War II...
merchant ship...
It seems that many merchant ships were sunk.
It is mentioned in street stall novels that many treasure ships were sunk and buried at the bottom of the sea.
The gold they transported was also buried under the sea. When you have time, you can find it all.
What?
Is the detection range only 600 meters not enough?
Isn’t there a submersible?
Go down in a submersible and search for it! Then use the map to detect...
Suddenly my mind moved.
The system prompts that the map monitoring radius has increased again.
Increased from the original 600 meters to 650 meters...
surprise.
Can it actually be increased?
Although it only increases by 50 meters, there is no upper limit!
Maybe, after the end of World War II, it can be increased to more than 1,000 meters. Optimistically, it may be more...
It is simply not very pleasant to use it to detect gold or something.
Suddenly my mood became very good. I felt that my future was bright. Countless golden treasures were waving to me...
When the 45-year war ends, I will fly around the world, looking for treasures everywhere...
"arrive."
Rodhart said suddenly.
Zhang Yong came to his senses and found three gold symbols in front of him.
Huh?
Where is this place?
It seems to be next door to the concession? But it’s very desolate!
Oh, it was a controversial place at the beginning. Due to ownership issues, this place was abandoned.
To put it simply, there is no water or electricity. Naturally, no one is willing to build a shack.
There are only some dilapidated bungalows. No one lives in them.
The gold mark is inside those bungalows.
"This is……"
"Let me show you something."
"oh……"
Zhang Yong followed Rodhart.
Entering a bungalow, Zhang Yong was surprised to find a large statue lying inside.
It's not a Buddha statue. It's a Western one. It's not right either. It doesn't look like anything. It has many arms and many eyes.
Secretly curious, what is it?
"I got this from Sumatra. It is a statue built by the locals. It has eight arms, eight eyes, three heads and three legs."
"oh……"
"It is said that there is gold in it."
"oh……"
"But, I can't be sure."
"oh……"
"You just said that if there is gold, you will definitely be able to detect it. Now, please start detecting. Is there any gold in this statue..."
"Can't we just break it?"
"No. If there is gold, I will break it into pieces. If not, I will pull it back and sell it for some money."
"this……"
Zhang Yong hesitated.
The map shows that the statue has a gold mark.
However, it can only indicate that there is gold inside. But it cannot indicate the specific amount.
If there is only one gold coin in it, it is still gold.
"Are you guessing?"
"I smell gold."
"There is gold in it, right? Is that how you understand it?"
"Yes. There is indeed gold in it. However, the specific amount cannot be determined. It may be a lot. It may be very little."
"As long as there is gold, it means you guessed it right."
"Okay, smash it!"
"If not, you have to compensate me for the loss."
"certainly."
"Eight hundred dollars."
"Can."
Zhang Yong nodded.
Then just take out eight hundred dollars.
It's not that he wants to show off. He just needs to convince Rodhart to cooperate.
Christian needs some help.
He is a noble person. Of course, he cannot personally show up for everything. That would lose his status.
The more helpers there are, the more others will believe it is true. Only then can the things they want to do be carried out more smoothly.
Losing eight hundred dollars is nothing.
What's more, it's impossible for him to lose.
Since the map indicates a gold mark, there is definitely gold in it.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Rodhart smashed the statue into pieces himself.
I don’t know what material the statue is made of. It’s not very sturdy. It’s just a bit huge.
If it were erected, it would probably be about three meters high.
This Rodhart is also amazing. He was able to bring it from Sumatra to Shanghai. And then he plans to bring it back to the beautiful country?
"Crash..."
"Crash..."
The statue began to crumble.
The raw material seems to be stone? But it doesn’t look like it?
Zhang Yong picked up a piece. Oh, it's a stone. But it's not granite. It's that kind of weathered stone.
It has a certain strength, but it is far from comparable to granite. No wonder it can be smashed easily. In fact, this kind of weathered rock can be broken by hitting the ground hard.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Rodhart screamed.
Zhang Yong looked up and saw something dark yellow rolling out.
It may be the size of a child's hand and has a strange shape.
It's gold.
No. It’s gold nugget.
It is the kind of naturally formed gold mine with extremely high gold content.
Its weight is often more than a few kilograms, or even more than 10 kilograms. The largest in the world is said to weigh dozens of kilograms.
"ah……"
Rodhart picked up the gold nugget.
Excited.
surprise.
I couldn't help but kiss desperately.
Although this nugget of gold is not big, it weighs two to three kilograms.
After refining, you should be able to get several hundred grams of pure gold. This is a huge wealth.
Zhang Yong has a peaceful mind.
Be confident about your future life.
You see, you can easily find a nugget of gold.
When the war ends and I run around the world, won't I have gold at my fingertips?
hehe……
If there is hanging, it is hanging.
But now, calm and pretending to be profound...
"Do you believe it?"
"Where are the other two statues?"
"There is also the smell of gold. But the amount is unknown."
"Okay, okay, okay."
Rodhart was already very satisfied.
Then, he put the nugget down.
His eyes were a little cunning.
"Zhang, have you heard of the treasures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?"
"What?"
"Treasure of Tianjing."
"have no idea."
Zhang Yong shook his head.
He really hadn't heard anyone mention it.
Some street stall novels from later generations seemed to have descriptions. But he didn't believe it.
There must be treasures in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Tianjing. But who was the one who broke through Tianjing? It was Zeng Guoquan. He was Zeng Guofan's younger brother. He was more ruthless than Zeng Guofan.
If Zeng Guofan is a razor, Zeng Guoquan is a chainsaw.
The damage of a razor is limited, but a chainsaw is invincible.
No matter how many treasures there were in Tianjing, they were all dug out by Zeng Guoquan. Not even a single copper plate could be left behind.
"Godric knows too."
"What?"
"His ancestor was the commander of the Foreign Gun Corps, Gordon. He often dealt with the Taiping Army."
"Yeah?"
Zhang Yong was noncommittal.
He remembered his current top priority.
It is to resist foreign aggression.
Most of his time and energy should be used to catch spies. Protecting his family and country is the most important thing.
Digging for treasures can only be scheduled after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War.
What's more, Zhang Yong has no interest in these ancient treasures. They have been around for a long time and get twice the result with half the effort, so why waste time?
"The Japanese are also looking for it."
"When they find it, I'll grab it again."
Zhang Yong speaks out.
He didn't bother to bother himself.
Are you anxious?
He would wait until the Japanese invaders were found before taking action.
It's much faster to grab than to find.
"Zhang, can you really sense the future?"
"right."
"What is the specific situation?"
"I can sense big things that may happen in the future. But I don't know the small things."
“What’s a big deal?”
"It has an impact on the whole world. For example, Mr. Roosevelt was elected president."
"What about the 1940 election?"
"Mr. Roosevelt was elected president."
"What about the 1944 election?"
"It's still Mr. Roosevelt."
"Four terms?"
"right."
Zhang Yong replied calmly.
That's right. This is the historical fact.
People today may find it very absurd.
No novel is this absurd.
However, reality is often more absurd than fiction. It is true that some people were re-elected for four terms. But the last term was not completed...
"Then can you predict the Oscars?"
"I'm sorry. The Oscars are not a major event that affects the world."
"Can't feel it at all?"
"Not really. In a few years, there will be a movie called "Gone with the Wind". It will sweep the Oscars and win most of the awards. It is adapted from the novel "Gone with the Wind", which is also "Gone with the Wind". You
Do you have any impressions of that novel?"
"Of course. That's one of my favorite novels. I also like Pride and Prejudice."
"This is my prophecy."
Zhang Yong said casually. Then his thoughts wandered.
There are so many things he knows. Unfortunately, the conditions are insufficient to show them in detail.
But, others can!
There is so much hot money in Hollywood, we must find a way to generate some of it...
"If your prediction is true..."
"I am planning to form a Mayan Brotherhood. Mr. Rodhart, will you join?"
"Of course. I do."
Rodhart agreed without hesitation.
Zhang Yong's miraculous ability made him believe that he would definitely not lose money.
Christian is completely unimportant.
The important thing is Zhang Yong.
"By the way, Godric is coming soon."
"Then I'll leave first!"
Zhang Yong then headed back home.
Returning to the Peace Hotel, I found that there were a few more people.
hehe.
They all came to test the movement.
But it's okay. Zhang Yong can take them all.
Go upstairs.
Enter the room.
Tell Christian briefly.
"Mayan Brotherhood?"
"right."
"I don't think the name is very attractive."
"Wealth attracts people."
"All right."
Christian had no objection.
The addition of Rodhart can save him a lot of trouble.
At the same time, Rodhart can help in many ways. As a private detective, Rodhart has a wide range of contacts.
"We also have a helper."
"who?"
"Godric."
"He is from the FBI. How could he..."
"Money and silk touch people's hearts."
"That……"
Christian is looking forward to it.
If even Godric is willing to join, then there is really no hidden danger.
"But are you sure he will join?"
"Yes. Definitely."
Zhang Yong is full of confidence but hesitant and ambitious.
Everyone has ambitions.
Godric does too.
As long as he has ambitions and demands, the Mayan Brotherhood is his best platform.
In the afternoon, a marked white spot appeared on the edge of the map.
Check it out and find out it's Godric.
Sure enough, he came.
OK, warm welcome.
"Here comes Godric."
"good."
Christian is no longer surprised.
He was already convinced of Zhang Yong's abilities.
When working with such people, he doesn't need to worry about any accidents.
Soon, someone came to report, and Godric asked to see him.
Zhang Yong opened the door and invited him in.
Godric had a straight face and said coldly: "Zhang..."
Zhang Yong reached out and interrupted him, "Mr. Godric, do you want to become the deputy director of the FBI?"
"What?" Godric was stunned.
"Mr. Godric, I'm asking you seriously, do you want to become the Deputy Director of the FBI?"
"Are you crazy?"
"I'm not crazy. I'm serious. Do you want to be the deputy director of the FBI?"
"You must be crazy..."
"I can tell you unequivocally that Hoover will continue to serve as director for the next ten years. No one can shake his position. Therefore, your only chance is to be deputy director."
"I'm just a little detective..."
"What if you have accomplished many meritorious deeds?"
"Bringing Christian back is my meritorious service."
"no."
"Why?"
"Because he can help you become deputy director."
"joke."
"Have you ever understood me?"
"What?"
"A year ago, I was still a gangster in Shanghai. But what is my status now?"
"you……"
Godric was silent.
No one doesn’t want to make progress, even foreigners.
Who doesn’t want to be a high official and well paid?
Who doesn’t want to be in charge?
"Hold onto President Roosevelt's lap and you might even become Director of the Secret Service."
"impossible."
"Nothing is impossible. In the next ten years, we will have countless opportunities."
Zhang Yong's tone was calm.
Perhaps others thought he was bragging.
Only he knows that what he stated is a fact. The opportunity really exists.
If they listened, he could help them find a lucrative job.
There is a way to make money.
have a future.
Gain fame and fortune. Live a happy life.
"Zhang, I know you are trying to use him to do something big..."
"We are cooperative."
"cooperate……"
"We have established a Mayan Brotherhood. The Mayan prophecies will bring bright prospects to each of us."
"So what are my prospects?"
"Eagle's Claws."
"What's the meaning?"
"Deputy Director of the FBI. Director of the Secret Service. In the longer future, you may even become the new Secretary of Homeland Security."
"Department of Homeland Security?"
"Yes. A completely independent department. Responsible only to the president. No longer part of the Treasury Department."
"this……"
Godric felt that Zhang Yong was bragging.
However, looking at Zhang Yong's face, it seems that he is not bragging. It seems that this is indeed the case.
In fact, Zhang Yong was not bragging.
Since the Department of Homeland Security can be established in later generations, it is not impossible to do so decades in advance.
Deputy director, director, minister...
"Mr. Godric, do you want to join the Mayan Brotherhood?"
