"You don't need to call, the number she used before has been out of service for a long time." Wang Xinran said.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan frown, Wang Xinran said again, "We have been paying close attention to the phone number she used before, and she must know this too."

Wu Zhongyuan believed Wang Xinran's statement, but he still tried to dial that number, and as expected, it was prompted that the phone had been shut down.

Wang Xinran said, "Everything shows that she has already grasped our whereabouts. Keep your mobile phone turned on in the future and see if she will take the initiative to contact you."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded.

"What are you going to do?" Wang Xinran asked.

"What should I do?" Wu Zhongyuan asked back.

"If she takes the initiative to contact you and asks you to cooperate with them, what will you do?" Wang Xinran was very serious.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer right away, he was silent for a long time before he spoke, "If you were me, what would you do?"

Wang Xinran thought for a while and said, "The director gave me a second-level authority to be responsible for your matter. I have a lot of autonomy in this matter."

Although Wang Xinran seemed to answer the question, Wu Zhongyuan knew she was referring to something, "Go on."

"Your senior brother killed someone, and he had a criminal record of intentionally wounding someone to death before. Once arrested, he is a recidivist. According to the relevant provisions of the criminal law, recidivists are severely punished. If he is arrested, he will definitely be sentenced to death. No one can Get him out of the crime." Wang Xinran said sternly, and at this point, he changed the subject, "But if he is willing to help you and stay with the two of us all the time, I can guarantee his safety."

"How do you guarantee it?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Wang Xinran explained, "The military and the police have different responsibilities. The military is responsible for safeguarding national security, while the police are responsible for maintaining social order. Therefore, the military has greater power than the police. They both perform official duties. If conflicts arise, the military will have priority."

After hearing Wang Xinran's explanation, Wu Zhongyuan was very happy, but also worried, "Will your superiors agree with you doing this?"

"I will agree, but I definitely can't agree to it explicitly," Wang Xinran said. "Fortunately, your brother is only a criminal suspect now. If there is no public prosecution and verdict, one day he will not be a criminal. We have excuses and reasons to prevaricate them."

"But my brother beat someone to death for protecting Zhao Dazhong before." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"It seems that your brother ran away before there was a trial?" Wang Xinran smirked.

"If you do this, will you cause trouble for yourself and Director Li?" Wu Zhongyuan was worried that they would be implicated.

"No," Wang Xinran shook his head. "We are not covering up criminals. We are just temporarily inviting citizens to assist us in our work. Criminal suspects are also citizens."

"Why didn't you say it earlier." Wu Zhongyuan sighed.

Wang Xinran said, "Before, the bureau didn't pay enough attention to your matter, and I didn't have such great power."

Wu Zhongyuan stood up and paced back and forth in the room.

"If one day you can really open the wormhole, I don't think I will hold him back and let him go with you." Wang Xinran said.

"I know this." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Then why are you still hesitating?" Wang Xinran said.

After walking back and forth for a few times, Wu Zhongyuan sat down on the sofa and sighed, "You have overlooked a very important point. My brother now knows that the elixir in Zhao Ying's hand is effective for Huang Ping. In order to get more He will not cooperate with us, he will always help Zhao Ying and the others."

"Yes," Wang Xinran nodded slowly, "This is also their brilliance, first grab your senior brother firmly and use him to blackmail you."

"I won't try to persuade my brother, but I won't stop him either. Let's do our own thing. Anyway, they don't have any clues. The initiative is in our hands. Sooner or later they will take the initiative to contact us." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Wang Xinran was very pleased with Wu Zhongyuan's statement of "they" and "us", which showed that he was really unwavering.

At this point, the two of them did not talk about the matter again. In the afternoon, Wang Xinran went out to the county library to bring back the county chronicles.

After dinner, the two started work. Wang Xinran leaned on the bed and watched, Wu Zhongyuan sat on the sofa and watched. After the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the characters did not change much, and they were similar to traditional characters. As archaeological dropouts, the two read There are no obstacles.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the people believed in ghosts and gods. The county annals recorded things from ancient times, and there were a lot of goblins and ghosts in them. If they were placed in modern times, they would definitely not be allowed to be published.

Who builds bridges and paves roads, accumulates virtue and does good deeds, and has children in his later years.A certain person killed a wild dog, which hurt nature and justice, and the child died early.Which hunter let go of a pregnant female wolf, and later got help from the wolves when they were in distress, and so on.

There are many similar things in the county chronicles, the authenticity of which cannot be verified, but some of them are totally illogical, presumably they were fabricated by the writers in order to educate the world.

But on the whole, similar records are all guiding people to be good, and they all preach that good people will be rewarded. In today's words, the three views of the ancients are still very upright. Although they are a bit superstitious, they at least have faith. Like some modern people, they are mercenary, pursuing sensory stimulation, and have no moral bottom line.

Because of these records, reading county annals is not boring, but quite interesting.

"Fortunately, we didn't rob graves, otherwise we could find many ancient tombs just by looking at the county annals." Wu Zhongyuan said, the county annals also recorded where who died and where they were buried, and some directions and locations were also recorded in detail.

"The country's conviction of tomb robbery is still too light." Wang Xinran turned a page, read it and said casually, "the individual reward standard for handing in cultural relics is also too low."

"Yes, cultural relics carry the history of a country, and a country without a complete history lacks cultural heritage." Wu Zhongyuan said something in the textbook.

"Tomb robbery destroys not only cultural relics, but also our history. Those who destroy history are eternal sinners," Wang Xinran said, "In fact, the loss of cultural relics in our country is much more serious than you imagine. According to statistics from relevant departments, in modern times In the past 100 years, our country has lost at least 70.00% of the above-ground cultural relics, more than 30.00% of the cave cultural relics, and more than [-]% of the underground cultural relics.”

"Is it really that serious?" Wu Zhongyuan was a little surprised.

Wang Xinran nodded, "This is still a relatively conservative estimate. Countless cultural relics were robbed by the Eight-Power Allied Forces in the late Qing Dynasty. Japan also moved a lot during the Anti-Japanese War. The Red Guards ruined a lot when the Fourth Old was destroyed. Rampant, most of the buried metal and jade cultural relics are the most serious loss of these two types of cultural relics."

"Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, Lao Jiang also transported a lot." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"That doesn't count. Although he is a reactionary, he is Chinese. The cultural relics on Taiwan Island are also ours, so they are not considered lost." Wang Xinran said.

"Chen Shuibie probably doesn't want to hear your words." Wu Zhongyuan laughed.

Wang Xinran laughed too, but stopped suddenly after only two laughs. Holding a county chronicle, he turned one page over and then back again.

"What's wrong?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"It seems that there is one piece missing here, and it is not coherent." Wang Xinran said.

"It was torn up by the borrower?" Wu Zhongyuan didn't care.

"Not everyone can borrow the county annals. Even if you read them, you can only read them in the monitored places in the library." Wang Xinran said.

"There was no monitoring before." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Wang Xinran didn't answer, and moved to the bedside lamp for a closer look.

Seeing Wang Xinran's serious expression, Wu Zhongyuan approached, "What's wrong?"

"Look carefully." Wang Xinran pointed to the gap between the two pages.

Wu Zhongyuan looked closely, and saw that there was an extremely thin page remaining in the gap between the two pages, which indicated that there was indeed a page missing here.

"The stubble is very flat, it's not torn, it should have been cut away." Wang Xinran said.

"Yes, the stubble is next to the cotton thread of the binding, and the person who cuts off this page does not want to be discovered." Wu Zhongyuan said.

After looking at it again, Wang Xinran discovered again, "The person who cut off this page was very careful. If you look carefully, there is no scratch at all on the second page. This person's force is very even, the force is very appropriate, and the tools used are also good. Very sharp."

"Who is it?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned.

Wang Xinran didn't answer, because she couldn't answer this question.

"It's broken!" Wu Zhongyuan's face suddenly changed drastically.

"Huh?" Wang Xinran turned to look at him.

Wu Zhongyuan pointed to the page behind the missing page. In the upper right corner of this page, there was half a column of text left, 'Big axe, hang on and see off. '

"What's wrong?" Wang Xinran didn't know why.

Wu Zhongyuan explained, "Wu Lu's weapons in ancient times were double battle-axes, which are very similar to axes."

"What's missing is the page that records Wu Lu's deeds?" Wang Xinran was surprised.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "It is very possible that there are not many people who use axes as weapons, and even fewer use big axes. The missing page probably records his deeds."

"There is a way to confirm." Wang Xinran took out his mobile phone, "County chronicles are historical materials, and every library will scan such things and leave electronic versions."

Wu Zhongyuan didn't know how Wang Xinran entered the library's electronic library within 3 minutes, but when he came out of the bathroom after urinating and washing his hands, Wang Xinran's face became very ugly, "You tell her What have you been?"

"What's wrong?" Wu Zhongyuan was stunned.

"The missing page, all the electronic pages kept in the library have become garbled characters. Except for them, no one else has any reason or ability to do so." Wang Xinran said.

"I don't understand what you mean." Wu Zhongyuan shook his head.

Wang Xinran explained patiently, "The missing page is probably an important clue. They took that page before us and hacked the library's network in order not to let us find the clue. The problem now is Yes, how do they know this person is the one we are looking for?"

Wu Zhongyuan was stunned.

"What have you told her?" Wang Xinran asked.

"She definitely doesn't know more than you," Wu Zhongyuan said eagerly, "She doesn't even know what the Lingshi is useful for, let alone looking for it purposefully."

"Facts speak louder than words," Wang Xinran pointed to the county annals that was missing a page, and asked loudly, "What kind of ecstasy soup did she give you, why did you tell her everything? Do you know what will happen if you do so?" as a result of?"

"I didn't fucking say it. I was on guard against you. How could I tell her this." Wu Zhongyuan was anxious.

"Then how did she know?" Wang Xinran asked.

"I don't know." Wu Zhongyuan said loudly,

"You really didn't say that?" Wang Xinran confirmed.

"I really didn't say that these things are the key to my going back. I can't tell anyone." Wu Zhongyuan said seriously.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan didn't look like he was lying, Wang Xinran's tone was a little slow, "Did you slip the tongue by accident?"

"Impossible. I'm worried all day long. It's impossible for me to slip up." Wu Zhongyuan shook his head again and again.

"Did she go through your things while you were not paying attention?" Wang Xinran asked again.

"No." Wu Zhongyuan shook his head again, "I always carry my things with me, and when I found the clue, she had already left."

"How did the clue get leaked?" This time it was Wang Xinran's turn to pace eagerly.

"Is there something wrong with you?" Wu Zhongyuan guessed.

"I only sent them to the headquarters in BC, and they don't have any clues about this person." Wang Xinran shook his head, "Don't doubt me, the problem must be with you."

"I really didn't say it. I just said it. When I got the clue, she had already left. Even if I wanted to say it, I didn't have the chance to say it." Wu Zhongyuan was very anxious. He knew the seriousness of the clue leak.

"What happened to the things in your flashlight?" Wang Xinran asked.

"I shredded the parchment and kraft paper and flushed them into the toilet." Wu Zhongyuan said here, and suddenly remembered a detail, "Oops, oops, after I flushed those things away, there was a dung truck I went to the hotel to pump shit..."
