Who would have thought that what Hurd was going to tell was such a big secret, Geng Daquan imagined that he would hide something, but this result was something he never imagined. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Mr. Hurd, could anyone know anything to deliberately send you these cutouts?" Although this is unlikely, Geng Daquan still wants to get a positive answer from Hurd's mouth.

"I don't know, I didn't tell anyone about this, I really don't know who else would do this but Jane?" Hurd wiped the cutouts carefully and carefully, and only then did his dim eyes shine. This simple paper-cut has been given a new life, Miss Hutton's life!

Geng Daquan understood that Hurd didn't know, but he didn't dare to think about it, he was afraid that the last hope would be dashed.

"Can you find out where the stuff was sent from?"

"I can't find it, I asked the people at the post office to help me check it for ten years without any results."

Even Heard couldn't find out, the other party was deliberately hiding his identity, if it was really Miss Hutton who sent it, what was her intention to do so? Or is Miss Hutton restricted in her freedom? There are too many secrets inside to unravel.

A girl who has disappeared for ten years, but every year she sends a birthday gift to her father!

Although Geng Daquan couldn't figure out the reason for this, he also knew why Hurd was so obsessed with finding Miss Hutton, he was afraid that he had already decided that Miss Hutton was still alive, but for some reason he couldn't come to see him.

And what Geng Daquan can do for Hurd is to unravel the secret, all of which is not contrary to Geng Daquan's discovery, Miss Hutton did leave the island in a very hurry.

At this point, Geng Daquan has fully laid out his discoveries and inferences, and compared with the two, the possibility of Miss Hutton's kidnapping and murder is almost non-existent, and the only thing left is why Hutton did not say goodbye, and what prompted her to make this decision?

"That day, Jane, when she came to see me, I had obviously seen it, but I couldn't spare time to say even a single sentence, I thought I would wait until the banquet was over to see her, but I didn't expect that this wait would be a lifetime!"

Hurd lay down in his chair, his endless sorrow crushing the old man into despair, perhaps in his opinion, his daughter Jane had failed to rise to the occasion when she needed him most.

Hurd's experience was all in his eyes, but where could he help for a while, all he could do was bury himself in the house and meditate.

He is now beginning to understand the despair of Ma Guming, his experience is so similar to Hurd, it is the loss of a beloved relative.

- Who can say that when Anna finally parted with Ma Guming, there was no hope that Ma Guming would keep her!

Robert. Simple. Hutton, a person who had nothing to do with it, appeared in Geng Daquan's mind countless times. Judging from the path of her life, she lost her mother at a young age, only depended on her grandmother in a small town in Scotland, came to China with her father at the age of twelve, and disappeared after two years in China.

With such a short trajectory in her life, it's hard to imagine what happened to her?

At night, when Geng Daquan was about to sleep, Hurd sent Bao La to send information about Tiande Church and Archbishop Gordon. There is some information about the tragedy and the position of the members of the church, because of the events of that year, the church was closed, the staff have long since disappeared, and Archbishop Gordon died of an unknown illness a few days before Miss Hutton's disappearance. Most of the abducted women and children had died tragically in Tiande Church before the collision, and only a few had been rescued.

The outside world only knows that the conflict between the two sides caused deaths, but it has never reported that the women and children who died tragically in the church before, and the information in Geng Daquan's hands is a top-secret document, if it were not for the fact that it happened to be in Hurd's territory, and it happened that he was British, this information would be difficult to see the light of day.

The following is what the military saw when the first and only group entered the Tiande Church; The unit is subordinate to the British Royal Navy in Shanghai.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

I received an order from above that there was a siege by the villagers at the Tiande Cathedral, and that troops needed to be sent over, and when we arrived, there was a noise from inside the tall walls, and the angry villagers at the location of a closed iron gate had already engaged in a fierce fight with the local government, and a few missionaries and monks were also forced to resist the mob that wanted to storm the church, and there were already casualties.

Knowing that if the situation continued to develop, it might escalate to the struggle of international relations, which would definitely affect the already tense relations between many countries, so I ordered the army to participate in a direct crackdown, and the situation improved after shooting several rioters, and when I thought that the incident could end there, a panicked nun ran out of the church.

"Soldier, what's the matter?"

"She said the archbishop was dead."

I was shocked, thinking that a mob had broken into the church, so I led a few soldiers to follow the nun into the Catholic church, and walked through the intricate religious buildings before I came to the bishop's residence, and the archbishop lay motionless on the bed, obviously dead, but there were no signs of a fight in the house, and there were no injuries on the bishop's body, and I found that the time of the bishop's death was not like today, and there was a faint bad smell in the house, which was the smell of the corpse beginning to decompose.

"When did you find out that the bishop was dead?" I asked, looking at the motionless nun.

"There was a big incident outside today and I wanted to report it to the bishop, and as soon as I came in, I found that the bishop was dead, and I am usually not allowed to come in without permission here."

As long as the bishop did not die as a result of the mob, our mission is considered successful, so we don't care about the specific cause of his death.

"Also, I .......... hear crying from behind." The nun shuddered at this time and said again.

I knew that the villagers were besieging the church because there had been a report that the missionaries had abducted women and children, so I immediately asked her to take me to the place where I heard the sound, and she cautiously pointed to a nondescript door at the back of the house.

"Soldier go open it."

The heavy door slowly opened with the help of two soldiers, and an extremely strong stench filled the room in an instant.

I felt a faint uneasiness in my heart, but I still ordered the soldiers to enter, and there was a long corridor that seemed to lead to some underground tunnel. The further they went inside, the more unpleasant the stench became, and it was almost suffocating, and at this time different fears appeared on the faces of the soldiers, and the nun who had brought them over just now was even more unbearable, if it weren't for our presence, I am afraid that we would have turned around and walked back.

A damp and cold enclosed tunnel, with only dim oil lamps on the walls to show the way, we could hear the crisp echo of the cowhide boots on the stone slabs on our feet, and the abnormal noise that kept popping in our heads, a sound I had never heard before. The sound was mixed with the foul smell of the air, and people couldn't give birth to a good feeling.

At this moment, the soldiers who were walking in front stopped inexplicably, and then took a few steps back in a panic, and before I could stop them from fleeing without permission, suddenly there was a strange roar in the darkness, which rose out of thin air, startling everyone present.

"Sir, there's ....... inside." The soldier's face turned pale, and he was so flustered that he didn't know how to express it.

I yelled at the soldier as I stepped forward, and at the end of the tunnel was an iron prison, and inside the iron prison was a hellish scene.

The rotting corpses were piled up in one corner, several half-dead women and children were looking for food among the corpses, their bodies deformed from hunger could not support their tattered clothes, and on the other side a few slightly stronger people gathered around a dying man to feast, blood flowed on the ground, and the whole iron prison was covered with black bloodstains.

There was no trace of fear or unbearability in their eyes, but the pleasure of biting their limbs.

I didn't know what had happened here, but I was aware of the gravity of the situation, and at the same time I felt uneasy, and instinctively called for the soldiers to cordon off the scene.

- Colonel. William. Transcript of Philip

Geng Daquan stood up and walked to the windowsill, looking at the isolated island hidden in the dark, the white building in the night has been forgotten in the years, who would have thought that it had had a horrific and tragic incident, what was it that finally prompted the incident to happen? This kind of sin suffocates him, and the sin of man can be revealed so unscrupulously, and the world of man eating man should be so desperate!

At this time, there was a noise outside, and Geng Daquan stepped forward to understand, and a servant told him in a panic that someone seemed to have an accident. Geng Daquan walked out of the small building, and the place where Hurd lived in the distance was brightly lit at the moment, and the pier under the mountain had been reopened, and the lights were lit on the road, obviously someone had just left the island. In the middle of the night, someone returned, as if it was Evan, and with him several physicians.

Seeing this situation, where can I not know what happened, Hurd's body has left a lot of diseases in his early years, and this year is high, it can be said that he can live for a year, otherwise Evan would not be in a hurry to take his father back to the UK, he just wanted to take advantage of his health to set off quickly. From China to Great Britain across the Western Ocean, the voyage will take half a year, to say the least, this is a very difficult task for Hurd, and now that such a thing suddenly happened, Geng Daquan was worried that it would not affect the original itinerary, of course, it still depends on Hurd's physical condition.

Hurd's sudden illness made it difficult for this island to be quiet for a moment, and Geng Daquan's comfort with him followed, and he found an opportunity to ask Bao La: "What is the situation with Mr. Hurd?" ”

"Heart failure, people are already in shock."

Geng Daquan was taken aback when he heard this, he didn't expect the situation to be so bad, this person had already arrived at the ghost gate.

The doctors brought by Evan from Shanghai overnight have today's top-level medical technology, but even so, the two doctors came out of Hurd's room until Tianfa Bai, the situation is very not optimistic, although his life is still there, he is unconscious, and he may die at any time, he can't stay here, and he must be sent to the hospital for treatment.

Evan didn't say anything when he left, with an indescribable expression on his face, but Geng Daquan knew that he was blaming himself, a large part of Hurd's illness was due to Miss Hutton, who asked him to come here to investigate Miss Hutton!

For a while, there were only housekeepers and servants left on the island, and there was no Mrs. Heard who had never appeared so far, Geng Daquan had some strange quirks about Mrs. Heard, but he didn't expect that she didn't appear when Heard was alive and dead, how could this not make him sigh.

Geng Daquan said goodbye to Bao La, and hurried back to his house, although Mr. Hurd was ill tonight, but Geng Daquan was already exhausted after a night's waiting.
