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

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

Wu Zhongyuan believed Wang Xinran's statement, but he still tried to dial that number, and sure enough, the prompt was down.

Wang Xinran said, "There are all kinds of signs that she has mastered our whereabouts, and your phone will be turned on in the future, to see if she will take the initiative to contact you." ”

Wu Zhongyuan nodded.

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

"What to do?" Wu Zhongyuan asked rhetorically.

"What would you do if she took the initiative to contact you and ask you to cooperate with them?" Wang Xinran was very serious.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't answer immediately, 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 second-level authority, which is specifically responsible for your matter, and I have a lot of autonomy in this matter." ”

Although Wang Xinran seemed to answer the question, Wu Zhongyuan knew that she was referring to something," he continued. ”

"Your senior brother killed someone, and he had a criminal record of intentionally injuring someone to death, once he is arrested, he is a recidivist, according to the relevant provisions of the Criminal Law, the recidivist will be punished heavily, if he is arrested, he will definitely be sentenced to death, and no one can help him get rid of the crime. Wang said happily, and when he said this, the conversation changed, "But if he is willing to help you and stay with the two of us all the time, I can guarantee his safety." ”

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

"The military and the police have different responsibilities, the military is responsible for safeguarding national security, while the police are responsible for maintaining public order, so the military has more power than the police, and they both perform official duties, and in the event of a conflict, the military has priority," Wang explained. ”

After listening to Wang Xinran's explanation, Wu Zhongyuan was very happy, but he was also worried, "You are doing this, can the boss agree?"

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

"But my brother also killed someone before because he was protecting Zhao Dazhong. Wu Zhongyuan said.

"It seems that your brother ran away before he had time to judge, right?" Wang Xinran smiled evilly.

"If you do this, will you get yourself and Director Li into trouble?" Wu Zhongyuan was worried about implicating them.

"No," Wang shook his head happily, "we are not harboring criminals, we are only temporarily inviting citizens to assist us in our work, and criminal suspects are also citizens." ”

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

Wang Xinran said, "The bureau didn't pay enough attention to your matter before, and I didn't have so much power. ”

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

"If you can really open the wormhole one day, I don't think I will pull him and prevent him from following you. Wang said happily.

"I know that. Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Then what are you hesitating about?" said Wang Xinran.

After walking back and forth for a few years, Wu Zhongyuan sat down from the sofa and sighed long, "You have overlooked a very important point, my brother now knows that the pill in Zhao Ying's hand is effective for Huang Ping, in order to get more pills, he will not cooperate with us, he will always help Zhao Ying and them do things." ”

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

"I won't persuade my senior brother, but I won't stop him, let's go their separate ways, anyway, they don't have 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 'them' and 'us', which shows that he really did not waver.

At this point, neither of them talked about the matter again, and in the afternoon, Wang Xinran went out and went to the county library to move the county chronicle back.

After dinner, the two started work, Wang Xinran leaned on the head of the bed from the bed to watch, Wu Zhongyuan sat on the sofa and watched, after the Sui and Tang dynasties, the change in the text was not very big, similar to traditional Chinese characters, as a dropout of archaeology, there was no obstacle to reading for the two.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the people worshipped ghosts and gods, and the county records were all about ancient times, and there were a lot of goblins and ghosts in them.

Whoever builds bridges and paves roads, accumulates virtue and does good, and has children in his old age. Someone killed a wild dog, hurt the heavens and reason, and the child died young. Which hunter spared a pregnant she-wolf, and later got the help of the wolves when she was in trouble, and so on.

There are many similar things in the county annals, and the authenticity can no longer be verified, but some of them are not logical at all, presumably the author did fiction in order to educate the world.

However, on the whole, similar records are all leading people to goodness, all of them are preaching that good people have good rewards, in today's words, the three views of the ancients are still very positive, although a little superstitious, but at least there is faith, unlike some modern people, mercenary, the pursuit of sensory stimulation, no moral bottom line.

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

"Fortunately, we are not tomb robbers, otherwise we can find many ancient tombs just by looking at the county chronicles. Wu Zhongyuan said that the county chronicles also recorded who was buried after death, and some directions and locations were also recorded in detail.

"The state's conviction for tomb robbery is still too light," Wang happily flipped the page, reading it casually, "and the standard for personal rewards for handing in cultural relics is 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 from the textbook.

"Tomb robbery destroys not only cultural relics, but also our history, and those who destroy history are sinners through the ages," Wang Xinran said, "In fact, the loss of cultural relics in our country is much more serious than you think, according to the statistics of relevant departments, in the past 100 years in modern times, China has lost at least 75 percent of the ground cultural relics, more than 30 percent of the cave cultural relics, and more than 10 percent 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, in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, there were countless cultural relics that were snatched away by the Eight-Nation Alliance, and Japan also moved a lot during the anti-Japanese period. ”

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

"That's not counted, although he is a reactionary, he is Chinese, and those cultural relics on Taiwan Island are also ours, not lost." Wang said happily.

"You say this, Chen Shuijiao probably doesn't want to listen to it. Wu Zhongyuan said with a smile.

Wang Xinran also laughed, but after only laughing twice, he suddenly stopped, took a copy of the county chronicle, turned one of the pages, and turned it back.

"What's wrong?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"It seems to be missing one here, and it's incoherent. Wang said happily.

"Was it torn up by the borrowed person?" Wu Zhongyuan disagreed.

"Not everyone can borrow the county chronicles, and even if they do, they can only be read in a monitored place in the library. Wang said happily.

"I didn't monitor it before. Wu Zhongyuan said.

Wang Xinran did not answer, and moved to the bedside lamp to take a closer look.

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

"Look closely. Wang happily pointed to the gap between the two pages.

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

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

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

After looking at it again, Wang Xinran found again, "The person who cut this page is very careful, you look carefully, there is no scratch on the second page, this person is very even, the force is very appropriate, and the tools used are also very sharp." ”

"Who is it?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned.

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

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

"Huh?" Wang happily turned his head to look at him.

Wu Zhongyuan pointed to the page behind the missing page, and in the upper right corner of the beginning of this page, there was a half-column of text left, 'Big axe, draped and sent off.' ’

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

Wu Zhongyuan explained, "Wu Lu's weapon in ancient times was a double axe, which was very similar to an axe. ”

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

Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "It is very likely that there are not many people who use axes as weapons, and even fewer who use big axes, and the missing page is likely to record his deeds." ”

"There's a way to do that. Wang Xinran took out his mobile phone, "County records belong to historical materials, and every library will scan and leave an electronic version of this kind of thing." ”

It is not clear how Wang Xinran entered the library's electronic library within three minutes Wu Zhongyuan, but when he came out of the bathroom after peeing, washing his hands, Wang Xinran's face had become very ugly, "What did you tell her?"

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

"The missing page, the electronic pages left in the library have all become garbled, and no one else has the reason or ability to do so except them. Wang said happily.

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

Wang Xinran patiently explained, "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, now the question is, how do they know that this person is the person we are looking for?"

Wu Zhongyuan was stunned.

"What did you tell her?" Wang asked happily.

"She definitely doesn't know more than you," Wu Zhongyuan said eagerly, "She doesn't even know what the spirit stone is for, and it's impossible for her to have a purpose to find it." ”

"Facts speak louder than words," Wang Xinran asked, pointing to the missing page of the county chronicle, "what kind of ecstasy soup did she pour you, and why did you tell her everything? Do you know what the consequences will be?"

"I really didn't say it, I didn't even guard against you, how could I tell her this. Wu Zhongyuan was anxious.

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

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

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

"I really didn't say it, these things are the key to my return, and I can't tell anyone. Wu Zhongyuan Zhengse said.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan's expression didn't seem to be lying, Wang Xinran's tone softened slightly, "Did you say it unintentionally?"

"No way, I'm scared all the time, it's impossible to say anything. Wu Zhongyuan shook his head again and again.

"Did she turn over your things while you weren't paying attention?" Wang Xinran asked again.

"Nope. Wu Zhongyuan shook his head again, "I've always carried my things with me, and when I found the clue, she was already gone." ”

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

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

"I'm only sending them to the ones in HQ BC, they don't have a clue about this person. Wang shook his head happily, "Don't doubt me, the problem must be yours." ”

"I really didn't say it, I just said it, she was already gone when I got the clue, even if I wanted to, I didn't have a chance to say it. Wu Zhongyuan was anxious, and he was well aware of the seriousness of the leakage of clues.

"What happened to the contents of your flashlight?" Wang asked happily.

"I was cut and torn by the parchment and brown paper, and I was flushed down the toilet. When Wu Zhongyuan said this, he suddenly remembered a detail, "Oh no, no, after I washed those things away, there was a dung tanker truck to the hotel to pump manure......
