Chapter 31: Detective Xu in a frame

When he was about to sleep, Xu Tian suddenly thought that he hadn't put the notebook back in place after using it, this was a matter of politeness, since people had already explained, they had to do it, so Xu Tian got up and put the notebook back in the wooden box, and put the wooden box back in the closet.

When Xu Tian dragged the wooden box into the wardrobe with two hands, he vaguely felt as if there was a glass in the wardrobe, and out of curiosity, Xu Tian turned on the flashlight function of the mobile phone and shone it on the wardrobe.

The wardrobe was full of old clothes, but they were all neatly folded by Li Suqing.

Putting aside those neat clothes, Xu Tian took out the glass object, which turned out to be a large photo frame.

"Hello? What are you doing? Don't rummage through other people's things! Teacher Jin said with squinted eyes while lying on the bed.

When he saw the photo in the frame, Xu Tian's heart shook suddenly, and the photo inside turned out to be Xu Tian.

Teacher Jin...... Here's my photo! Xu Tian held the photo frame and said to Teacher Jin.

Mr. Jin turned on the flashlight function and sat up suddenly, this is a black and white photo of Xu Tian, which looks like a posthumous photo.

"What's going on?" Teacher Jin took the photo and said.

"There's a picture frame in there." Xu Tian said, and took out another photo frame in the closet.

This second photo frame is a middle-aged man wearing a military uniform of the Republic of China, this man Xu Tian is also very familiar, it is the person with a cane that Xu Tian once saw in the illusion on the way to Yangqi's hotel with Teacher Jin and Li Zhitong.

"It's exactly the same, I've seen this person, it's that person." Xu Tian said in surprise.

Xu Tian told Mr. Jin what happened, and after listening to Xu Tian's words, Mr. Jin also felt a chill behind him.

"This man...... Will it be Commander Fang? Teacher Jin guessed.

"I can't wait for tomorrow, we have to ask now." Xu Tian said.

"Wait a minute! There seems to be a line of small print underneath the photo. Teacher Jin put the photo frame on the bed, and said with his mobile phone at the bottom of the photo frame.

"It's the date, the twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China, that is, 1937." Xu Tian said.

"The dates are the same in both photos, but I don't understand why this person is exactly the same as you?" Teacher Jin said.

Xu Tian's mind suddenly became very confused, no matter how coincidental it was, this kind of thing would not happen, when he thought of this, in fact, Xu Tian already had the answer in his mind, but he was not sure.

Xu Tian didn't fall asleep all night, until five o'clock in the morning, Li Suqing came to knock on the door, and Xu Tian immediately held up the photo frame and asked Li Suqing.

"Who is this?" Xu Tian asked, pointing to his photo.

Li Suqing carefully observed Xu Tian's face, and her expression was also very surprised.

"You...... How is this possible! I did think you looked familiar at first, but this frame has been in my cabinet for more than 20 years, and I don't remember it anymore. Li Suqing said.

"Who the hell are these two people?" Xu Tian asked eagerly.

"The person in the military uniform is my grandfather, Fang Jianye." Li Suqing said.

"What about this guy who looks like me?" Xu Tian asked eagerly.

"It's our Fang family's great benefactor, a detective surnamed Xu." Li Suqing said.

Xu Tian suddenly felt that something was wrong, and at this time, the few illusions he had seen before appeared again, but Xu Tian felt that it was not an illusion at all, but something that had happened before, which was very real.

Sitong in a Republican-style dress, and Commander Fang in a military coat, those pictures gradually passed in front of Xu Tian's eyes, just like movie pictures, frame by frame in Xu Tian's mind.

"Who are you?" Li Suqing asked with a skeptical attitude.

"I'm sorry." Teacher Jin hugged Xu Tian and said. "I'm afraid we can't get out of here, there are some things that we have to ask you clearly." Teacher Jin said.

"Not leaving? That's not going to work. Li Suqing said with a deep face.

"Could you please tell me, what is the correct order of Commander Fang's notes? Which village should we start looking for next? Also, can you tell us directly who is in possession of the Commander's note? This saves a lot of time. Teacher Jin said.

"Why should I tell you? Now your attitude is very problematic, and you have turned against the customer. Li Suqing said.

"The meteorological department has announced that there will be a typhoon within a week, and this island is very unsafe, so we need to act as soon as possible, and you should also take refuge inland." Teacher Jin said.

"I think you're a little too worried about us? We have lived on a small island in the East China Sea all our lives, what kind of typhoon have we not seen? You won't have to worry about the evacuation matters, but in order to get you out of here quickly, I can tell you who in each village has the notes in their hands, but I don't know the order in which they should be read. Li Suqing said.

"That's enough, thank you in advance." Teacher Jin said.

Li Suqing took out a pen and paper in the cabinet, wrote the names of the four people respectively, and then folded them and stuffed them to Mr. Jin.

"Thank you very much, so where should we go now?" Teacher Jin said.

"Go to the seaside, if you want to go back to the mainland, wait for the steamer that arrives between half past six and seven o'clock, if you want to go to another village, go along the coastline all the way north, you will reach the village in the middle first, and then you can ask the local villagers." Li Suqing said.

"The next place we're going to is Caogang Village." Xiao Ai walked in from outside the door and said.

"Caogang Village?" Li Suqing said skeptically. "What are you doing there?"

"It's also our own business, you can tell us how to go." Xiao Ai said.

"The Caogang Village you mentioned no longer exists, and now there is no Caogang Village on this island." Li Suqing said.

"Impossible! I was born in Caogang Village, which was formerly known as Nether Village, how could it not be? Xiao Ai said.

"Not really, are you mistaken? I have lived on this island for forty-two years, and the village has always been a legend used by adults to scare disobedient children. Xiao Ai said.

At this time, Xu Tian's spirit seemed to be a little better, and Yang Qi, who had not yet woken up, had also been woken up by the sound of talking, and Li Suqing hurriedly pushed and pulled the four people out of the door.

"Caogang Village is in the east, I know it, even if you don't tell me how to get there, we can find it." Xiao Ai said.

"Whatever you want, leave this village quickly and never come back." Li Suqing pushed and pulled the four people and said.
