Finale (Part 2) Chapter 14 Clues in Despair

I spent the next few days in a haze, and I could only return to this world when some unexpected incident occurred. The rest of the time, I mostly lay or sit. I replayed what happened in the past over and over in my mind. I no longer think about all the details, I just play the movie in my mind.

But I don't have any emotions.

Despair is the greatest emotion that can consume everything. At one point I even realized that I no longer had much attachment to life. Either let me know everything behind this, or let me die on the way to understand it all.

This is the retribution I deserve, because my obsession has killed many people. If I didn't die, the world would be so unfair.

When I was thinking about this, I felt particularly calm, without any of the anxiety I had before. I feel like even if I finally knew all the keys behind it all, I wouldn't feel a sense of relief.

In the future, I will never have the strong passion I had before, and no unknown will be able to move me. However, just a few days later I discovered that I was wrong. It seems that the development of this matter will never be what I expected.

A few days later, I received a very unexpected news. Jude Kao's company had begun to reorganize its assets.

Apparently, because of the deterioration of the health of the first shareholder Jude Kao. Qiu's control over many aspects of his company began to wane, and other shareholders became active. The battle between dark stocks is becoming increasingly fierce. Many people fell victim to this struggle, including some senior members of Judekao's core team.

These senior executives had a very good personal relationship with me and Fatty when they were at Genting Palace. Although the contact was not close, sometimes I would still ask them many questions, and they would also give me some advice in private.

After the company was in chaos. Many of these senior executives began to leave, and several of them began to send me dossiers that were originally confidential from the company.

These files were top secret when Jude was in power, but Jude failed. These things have become useless, and no one believes the information in the dossier. The files were separated and destroyed.

those people said. Since the company no longer pays attention to it, instead of destroying it, it is better to show it to the person who needs it. Is there any useful information.

The number of files is staggering. Obviously, although these people are well-intentioned, they are not kind enough to classify me. Several files add up to at least several hundred gigabytes, and they are all image files. It was scanned with a scanner.

I brewed black tea and started from the first document package. I read all these files in two days.

The content of the dossier is quite rich. Although not every volume is valuable, the valuable parts are quite valuable.

And there is something fishy about the worthless part.

I sorted out all these documents and divided them into three categories: valuable documents, doubtful documents, and worthless documents.

What made me realize the most was one of the review documents on the archeology of Xisha. The main purpose of this document is to request funds from the board of directors. This document must explain to the board why the project in Paracel is necessary. What is the potential value.

The core part of this document is divided into two parts. One part explains why: Judekao believes that the probability of there being an ancient tomb underground in Xisha is quite high, and there are a lot of folklore and historical records in it. There are hundreds of meters of these materials, many of which are photos of ancient books. However, the decisive evidence is not this. The decisive evidence is an "internal document".

This internal document is very strange. It is a red-headed document, which is the death report of an archaeological team member bought at a very high price.

After careful consideration, I realized. This dead person was the first person to enter the Xisha Tomb. It was he who brought out the first batch of talented people. Then, an informant within the company brought this news to Jude Kao - the situation at that time. It must be that on the dark sea, Jude Kao's ship impersonated the organization's ship and intercepted the information.

Afterwards, Jude Kao handed this information to Understanding Lianlian, and that was how the Third Uncle's Xisha incident came about.

So, there is an explanation for one thing that I have always found strange - how Jude Kao obtained the internal information of Xisha.

It seems that the organization's habit is to use its own people to enter the ancient tomb to explore first to see if it can obtain first-hand information. If not, submit all the information to the archaeological team for a second exploration.

Another particularly important piece of information is that when the third uncle deceived Jude Kao and asked Jude Kao to provide money and help, he used a token, which was an "iron block".

These things are the iron blocks from several boxes brought out from Banai during the Banai incident. The third uncle used this piece of iron to prove that he had all the information about Banai at that time, in exchange for the resources for his trip to Xisha.

I still don’t know how Uncle San got that kind of iron, but he obviously did. There must be some steps behind this that I don’t know about.

As for the dossier that puzzles me the most, I need to focus on it. This file has only one title: Investigation of the landform features near Wu San’s residence.

There is no specific content of the dossier. On the cover of this dossier, there is the word "not approved" in English.

The proposer of this dossier was, of course, Aning. It took me a long time to recognize Aning’s English.

Aning proposed to investigate the landform features near where my third uncle lives. Why is this? Are there ancient tombs near my third uncle’s house?

The Aning I remember is a very reliable and dedicated woman. It is impossible for her to make meaningless proposals. The proposals she makes must have a purpose.

I looked at the date and it must have been before we went to the field for the first time. Obviously, for my third uncle, Jude Kao's company had already started monitoring him.

However, in foreign professional company systems, where funds and boards of directors are always the largest, this proposal has obviously not been implemented.

I leaned back in my chair, smoking and thinking, but I had no idea at all. I came to the roof of Third Uncle's shop and looked around.

Uncle San's shop is in an area where farmers' houses are densely packed. It is surrounded by various farmers' houses, many of which are quite old. In a place like this, there is no landform to speak of. You can’t even see the ground.

If I could see the dossier, I might be able to guess what the meaning of this is. Unfortunately, I can only guess without direction now.

I thought up a rough reason for myself. Maybe Aning thought there might be ancient tombs around Uncle San's shop. Many tomb robbers choose a place. It seems that they want to do a small business, but in fact it may be used as a cover to dig long underground passages to rob the tomb. Moreover, for a lunatic like Third Uncle, if the treasure underground is valuable enough, his plan to dig tunnels may last for several years.

In addition, there is a wealth of information in the dossier that can supplement much of my previous information. After I read it, many of my wandering thoughts were confirmed, but they were of little significance.

There is a lot of information in it, but the English is too difficult for me to understand. I packaged all these and sent them to my friends who are good at English, and asked them to translate them for me and then check them carefully. All the operations were performed on my laptop, but there were too many documents and it was difficult for me to use only one screen. Operates smoothly.

Only then did I think that Uncle San had a computer here. I turned on the computer and copied the files to the USB flash drive for comparison.

While performing this operation, I discovered a very strange phenomenon. On two different computers, the details displayed in many documents were different. I opened the document of Aning that I had just read. On the third uncle's computer, there was one more page than before. Before, there was only one cover, but on the third uncle's computer, there was an extra title page.

I thought it was a bit strange. When I opened it, I found that the title page was an explanation page, saying that the system version was too old and could not display all pages.

Could it be that there is something fishy in these files? I was suddenly inspired, thinking that many encrypted files must be displayed on a specific machine to display all their pages, while on other machines, only the pages that the other party wants to show you can be displayed. Really The core information will not be displayed.

I thought to myself, it looks like I need to find experts to handle it, but I am definitely helpless myself. I turned off the power and went through it several times in my mind, and found that I really didn’t know many people who knew computer skills in Hangzhou. I do have friends in Jinan, former college classmates, but it seems too exaggerated to call him here specially. I'd better find some time to find a few reliable ones from Hangzhou. To be continued
