What Zhao Yu had told the masked man at Guan Qing Hall was not really baseless conjecture. Everything he said was basically true.

However, because of all the tools he had used, what had actually happened was much more exciting than what Zhao Yu had said.

Rewind to twenty minutes ago, when Zhao Yu saw the masked man running into Guan Qing Hall.

After Xiao Hang had told him about the hostage situation, Zhao Yu felt even more uneasy. He had already seen the digging situation inside Guan Qing Hall with the Invisible Drone. When Zhao Yu saw this, he didn’t for a second believe that the criminals were digging to find the treasure.

First, that was not really plausible. The thugs obviously knew the location of the treasure. It would be impossible for them to dig for it under the eyes of a watchful audience.

Second, there were also discrepancies with the timing. Looking at the excavation site, it was obvious that the digging had just begun. Even the ground looked like it had been recently drilled open. The criminals had already been at the tourist attraction for a while. If there was really treasure there, they would have begun digging long ago.

Third, and most importantly, even though the outer walls of Guan Qing Hall were red, the roof tiles were not glazed and did not have the pattern from the nesting doll. Moreover, Guan Qing Hall was a room used for government business and not a living area. The possibility of there being a well was very small, which meant it didn’t match up with the clue on the Russian doll.

For these reasons, combined with previous doubts, Zhao Yu felt like the situation was strange and had already become aware of the possibility that the masked man was hiding something.

This was a matter of national importance since it concerned the treasure, and it had already escalated to such a high level. If something were to go wrong, the consequences would be dire. A war might even break out.

Zhao Yu knew very well that he had to do his best, so he decided on the spot to solve the situation properly.

So, he faced the camera of Guan Qing Hall and the Secret Service Agents who were about to arrive at the scene and with no hesitation, pulled out his best and most precious equipment. This was his Invisible Cloak, Invisible Aircraft, Back-Camera and Duplicate Camera, and the Hacker’s Command.

With these items, Zhao Yu felt like he had already become Superman. He felt as though he was currently in the midst of completing an extremely intense and exciting special mission.

Although the situation was rather dire Zhao Yu was a detective, so his thoughts were extremely clear. He had figured out earlier on that since the masked man and his accomplices had chosen Guan Qing Hall to start operations, that meant they had probably scouted the area earlier.

Hence, after using the Invisibility Cloak, the first thing Zhao Yu did was to use the Duplicate Camera and copy the surveillance cameras around Guan Qing Hall so he could watch them on displays in his internal system.

Of course, watching through all the footage was a time-consuming and labor-intensive job. In such an emergency situation, he didn’t have time to check the footage thoroughly.

Thus, he used the aircraft to fly quickly back to the street where he had shot a criminal dead, and using the built-in camera, he took a photo of the man. He used the Hacker’s Command to insert the photo into the captured video and began to search for a match.

At that time, with the Hacker’s Command at work, Zhao Yu was spent a huge amount of adventure points to strengthen his Invisible Detector by another level.

This time, the Detector’s range went up to 100 meters in diameter instead of 50, and there was also an enhancement in the detection accuracy. The duration also extended to several days.

Just as Zhao Yu had told the masked man, the smoke bombs had erupted in the middle and southwest of the tourist spots, and Guan Qing Hall was in the northeast. So, if these were all decoys set by the thugs, then the real target would be either in the northwest or southeast!

However, there were many quadrants in the southeast and it had all been allocated for government affairs, far from the living quarters. So, Zhao Yu believed that the real target was probably the northwest part.

Most of the harems were in the northwest. The area was better suited to the hint they found with the Russian nesting doll. Also, under the Chaofenglou Building, Zhao Yu clearly saw that the masked man had originally intended to go west. That meant that if not for his interception, the masked man would have continued going west.

Based on all these clues, Zhao Yu immediately took flight towards the northwest of the tourist spot. From the looks of it, with his flying device, an invisibility suit, and the back-camera, Zhao Yu was like an invisible Superman.

Unfortunately, there was one major fault in the Invisibility Cloak, and that was that it didn’t work well during the day. Especially when moving at high speeds. This caused a mosaic phenomenon or light refraction, and if anyone were to observe closely, they would be able to spot it.

But this time, Zhao Yu had put in his all. To make up for this flaw, he spent another 2,000 adventure points to strengthen and enhance it to a stage where the cloak would no longer be easily discovered by people.

However, Zhao Yu quickly realized that the 2,000 points he had just spent might have been wasted. While he was flying in the sky, the evacuation was almost complete and few people would have been able to see him. He was flying at such high altitudes and at such a fast speed that even if the cloak really was defective, he wouldn’t have been easily exposed.

Time was of the essence and Zhao Yu did not have time to be distressed or upset. As he was flying, he used the Detector and scanned the area. Just then, the Hacker’s Command in his mind had found a match. The camera outside of Guan Qing Hall had captured the image of the criminal who had just been killed.

Zhao Yu took a closer look and found something else that was shocking. The surveillance hadn’t just captured the location of the dead criminal, but it showed that of the masked man, fake tour guide, and the other associates.

What was even more puzzling to him was that the captured footage was from very late in the night. They had already found the place earlier and had come in without buying tickets. On further review, he found something even more amazing.

In an earlier video, he was surprised to find the first time these people appeared; they had come out of Guan Qing Hall. But the cameras had not captured them entering at all.

Oh! It was then that Zhao Yu understood that there were probably secret passages located in Guan Qing Hall, and they had used these passages to enter the tourist area. From this, he figured that the reason the masked man and the others were digging the hole was just for digging’s sake. They already had an existing secret tunnel!

This way, after they escaped, the police would definitely think they exited through the newly dug hole and search in the wrong direction.

Amazing! They were too cunning!

After figuring everything out, Zhao Yu was even more certain that their real objective was not in Guan Qing Hall! They created such a large and complicated decoy that they must have been covering up something truly amazing. But there was nothing aside from the treasure, right?

From that, Zhao Yu deduced that the treasure that had been lost for 80 years was really hidden here. Was it about to see the surface?

Just as Zhao Yu became excited, the enhanced Detector located an abnormality. A scenic spot near Wen Yuan Pavilion displayed pistols and explosives!
