A few of us stared at the sound of the chain turning, and then a series of patterns appeared on the front of the pocket watch, the digital panel.

Until, when all the patterns were put together, I looked down and took a look.

"This is .......," I wondered.

The knob had been turned to the very end, but it was the first time I had seen the pattern in the pocket watch.

This is not an ordinary pattern, the pattern depicts a topographic map, more like someone's note, with the marks of each time period, but, on closer inspection, it is more like an excavated ancient map, more like it was used in the construction of tunnels.

"Is this a treasure map?" The ninth master also thought about it, he took the pocket watch and looked at it carefully, and shook his head in a daze.

But if it's a treasure map, what does it have to do with stolen clocks?

I became more and more interested in what was happening in front of me.

On the contrary, Uncle Mu pointed to us, "This thing is not ordinary, the pocket watch was made in the Qing Dynasty, and the clock was also made in the Qing Dynasty, in my opinion, there must be something hidden in this clock, as for this pattern, it is very likely to be an ancient map, an underground ancient map." ”

"Could it be ......" Jiu Ye seemed to think of something, "Railway?" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What does it have to do with the railway?" ”

This kind of speculation, even the ninth master is not very sure, but I heard him say that as early as the Qing Dynasty, Western civilization has begun to integrate into the Qing Dynasty, after continuous development, until the Guangxu period, under the guidance of the British, the first railway was built, but at that time in order to build this railway It took a lot of manpower and material resources, in short, this railway is very mysterious.

But I also asked, what is the relationship between this railway and clocks, Uncle Mu smiled and said to me, this pocket watch is a mechanized project, at that time it was in the rise of the Western Industrial Revolution, which led to the development of many mechanization, and it is also a new industry, in fact, clocks and watches were loved by the emperor as early as the Ming Dynasty, and this love continued to the Qing Dynasty, to the generation of Emperor Qianlong, it pushed the clock to a climax, and then introduced the advanced technology of the West, and then there were watch craftsmen, but over time, to the end of the Qing Dynasty, Other mechanization also developed, and some watchmakers were assigned to build railroads, which gave it a more well-known secret.

Well, anyway, I heard it very mysteriously, although I don't know what the purpose of the watchmakers is, but at least it has something to do with the ancient drawings on the pocket watch?

And then I looked closely, "What is this?" "Uncle Mu seems to have discovered something special again.

Through the magnifying glass, on the right side of the pattern, there is a geographical coordinate, "N30" E28.2"", I was also stunned.

This coordinate is extremely familiar, I quickly opened my phone to search for this geographical coordinate, but what is even more surprising is that the location of this coordinate, I widened my eyes and was speechless.

The Ninth Master glanced at me, thinking that there must be something new, he snatched my mobile phone and looked at it, "Linhai Village? The ninth master whispered in his mouth.

Everyone was taken aback, because we had just come out of the seaside village.

"Master, I don't think this is accidental, the situation there is indeed very strange, and what is even more terrifying is that there are no people who died in vain?" Roe deer said.

When the roe deer said this, I was even more panicked.

"It seems that we are really going to break through today," Uncle Mu got up, had already returned to the room, and began to pack up his equipment.

"What are you doing here?" The Ninth Master shouted at me.

Well, I'm already very cowardly, and this joining the 8211 organization was a pure accident, but I already know the secrets from it, if I want to quit now, according to the country's regulations, I can only be assigned to a cage and imprisoned for life. It can be said that this completely deprives the person of his rights, and it is worse than death.

…….

6 a.m

I was woken up by a burst of alarm.

"What's going on?" The Ninth Master had already gotten up, put on his clothes, and quickly leaned out of the door and ran.

And I was helpless, so I also got up and rushed to the place where the alarm sounded.

The sound of the alarm is still coming from the treasure room, and this time, I also saw some military troops, ran in, arrived at the door of the treasure room, after expert identification, only to find that the alarm has failed, in fact, it should be said that the thief is too good at it, and the alarm device has been replaced.

In this way, the sudden disappearance of the alarm sound that I had heard before is also well explained.

…….

Research Center Room

It is heavily guarded, and there are dozens of trap infrared monitoring probes outside.

We were stopped by two tall warriors, and then I saw the Ninth Master take out a pass token, test it, and then let us enter the door.

The two doors on the left and right opened, and inside was a research department, with different rooms distributed, I followed the ninth master, until I reached the last room, the ninth master pressed the button, and then, the door opened automatically.

When I entered, I saw four or five men in white hexagrams sitting on chairs.

The Ninth Master stepped forward and bowed deeply, "Report, Dr. Gao, the matter has not been found out yet, I'm afraid this matter is a little difficult to handle." ”

Dr. Gao was younger than I expected, he looked like he was in his thirties, with black hair, wearing highly black round-rimmed glasses, and a gentle face, he glanced at the Ninth Master and smiled gloomily, "Could it be that there are more powerful people?" ”

"Dr. Gao, I think that the theft of this clock is no longer an ordinary small incident, it is already related to the situation of the whole country," the Ninth Master explained.

Dr. Gao is also a sensible person, he waved his hand at the ninth master, "This is a secret, it must not be leaked out, otherwise it will ......"

I saw Dr. Gao clasping his hands and speaking earnestly.

Afterwards, the ninth master said goodbye.

Listening to the ninth master, Dr. Gao has been in the National Treasure Institute for more than 40 years, and he has no selfish thoughts from it, but this time the treasure was mysteriously stolen, and Dr. Gao was also panicked, and he couldn't think of who it would be.

Of course, I also doubted at that time, it would be other people in the research institute, but they were all vetoed by the ninth master, listening to him, this is impossible to exist, but then again, if there are no ghosts in this research institute, who will believe it.

Because of this, since this incident, the ninth master has slowly begun to have doubts about the people in the research institute.

However, as mysterious as it was, it seemed to be all mixed up as to who would have called me that night, but the only clue was from the pocket watch.

…….

12 noon

It's still the phone of the detective guard.

This time, I called the National Treasure Office directly, but the news I got was that it was another homicide, and Aunt Xiaoting had gone crazy and insane.
