The most recent flight was around seven o'clock in the evening, so they didn't arrive at Master Cao's house until ten o'clock.

It is a villa area on the outskirts of Linjiang City, and the environment is very beautiful. But neither Sun Yang nor Lu Xiaoling had the intention of appreciating this.

"Xiaoling~" A woman about thirty years old stood at the door to greet them, and Lu Xiaoling also ran up quickly and hugged her.

"Sister Fangfang!"

"My dad ...... him," the woman's tears flowed out at once.

"Uncle Cao, he is already a top master in China, he will definitely be fine!" She gently patted the woman on the back and comforted her.

"Sister Fangfang." No one introduced him, and no one introduced him, which made Sun Yang a little embarrassed, so he could only follow Lu Xiaoling and shout.

"You are Sun Yang?" The woman let go of Lu Xiaoling, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hand, and said softly. "I'm Cao Fang, I'm really sorry to let you come here in such a hurry. I'm sorry! ”

Of course, Sun Yang knew that she was apologizing for the previous phone call, and hurriedly asked her not to take it to heart.

A few people stopped at the door for a while, and Cao Fang led them in.

In the living room sat a middle-aged man, gently patting a little girl's body on the sofa to lull her to sleep.

"Brother-in-law~" Lu Xiaoling shouted softly.

The man nodded, motioning for them to go inside.

"You're the only one in the house?" Sun Yang was a little surprised.

"There is also an aunt who helps us cook, who has gone back." Cao Fang replied.

"What the hell is going on?" Lu Xiaoling said. "Sister Fangfang, don't worry, just say whatever you want."

Sun Yang put down his bag, took out a pen and paper and sat down.

"Dad went out two weeks ago, and you know his temper, he only says which city he goes to, and never says what he is going to do." Cao Fang's tears flowed out again, and Lu Xiaoling hurriedly comforted her, calming her down and continuing to speak.

"Where did he go?"

"Zhijiang." Cao Fang replied.

It was a city in the south of Great Xia, located in the Nanling Mountains, and belonged to a relatively backward economic area.

Cao Daoping only told her that there was a clue about the one thing she had been pursuing, and she needed to go to the scene to see the real thing, so she packed up her things and left.

"Yesterday was Yue'er's birthday, and he promised that he would definitely rush back to celebrate her birthday!" Cao Fang said sadly, tears falling down again.

Things should have gone smoothly at the beginning, he had to call back every night to talk to his granddaughter, and his mood was also very calm, even a little happy, which made Cao Fang also relaxed.

But he hadn't called back since the night three days ago, and when they called him, it was first unanswered, and then it was turned off.

"Can you find out where he last called?" Sun Yang asked.

"I've asked someone to check, it's a small town called Nanyou in Kuishan County below Zhijiang City, and I can't find it out in detail." The man who had been putting the child to sleep came over at this time.

"Did you call the police?"

"I reported it, and I asked someone to find a relationship, but there are no results over there." The man said. "We should have rushed over right away, but we ......" he hesitated slightly.

"Daddy didn't let us learn those things from him." Cao Fang said. "If it's general things we can handle, but these things ...... After the police told us that there was no result, I called you. ”

"You're doing the right thing." Lu Xiaoling kept holding her hand and said to her softly. "It's more dangerous for you to go, this kind of thing should have been notified to us."

"I'm sorry." Cao Fang said to Sun Yang again.

Sun Yang shook his head, thought for a while, and asked, "Did he mention any names of people, places, or anything like that when he was talking to you?" ”

"None of them." The man who was called her brother-in-law by Lu Xiaoling came over and hugged Cao Fang, and she gently rested her head on his shoulder. "He rarely talks to us about what he's done, and most of the time he asks about Yue'er's condition. Most of the time, the phone is answered by Yue'er. ”

Both husband and wife looked at the living room, where the girl was sleeping on the sofa, very quiet.

Sun Yang frowned slightly, the girl looked like she was probably not even six years old, even if Master Cao said something to her, she couldn't write it down.

That's terrible.

"Can you find a way to give us a copy of his recent call records, especially after going to Zhijiang? Maybe it will be useful. ”

"That's fine."

"Also, where does he usually work? Can you show us the room where he works? ”

Cao Fang looked at her husband and stood up.

"In the basement."

Sun Yang thought she meant a small room underground, but after going down, he realized that Master Cao's studio was almost larger than the space upstairs, with a total area of more than one hundred and fifty square meters. If you just look at the structure of the two floors above, it's hard to imagine such a huge basement underneath.

Most of them are a collection of books of all kinds, and there are twenty or thirty bookshelves filled to the brim. It is mainly composed of Buddhist scriptures and Taoist scriptures of various eras and schools, as well as a large number of miscellaneous books, most of which are ancient books such as county chronicles, chronicles of square objects, codexes, and miscellaneous records from various places, and some are monographs on nature, chemistry, physics, and traditional Chinese medicine, treatises on philosophy, psychology, and religion, as well as historical books of various countries.

Sun Yang felt that he would probably not be able to read all the books here in a lifetime.

On the shelves next to it are some old antiques, rolled-up ancient paintings, a large number of ancient coins and magic weapons that have lost their spiritual power.

There is also a locked room at the end of the room, which looks like a door to the next floor.

"He told us not to open this door under any circumstances unless there was a very powerful warlock to do it." Cao Fang said.

Sun Yang nodded, deciding not to touch the door.

In the corner is a small lathe that can be used to process wood and simple metal products, and Sun Yang has also discovered a small laboratory.

There were also several large boxes that had not been opened in the open space in the middle, and Sun Yang was no stranger to them, because these boxes were packed by him himself, and they were all things left by Master Lu to Master Cao.

Packed.

So many things made Sun Yang feel dizzy just by walking through them, did Master Cao have the energy to do so many things?

His workbench was in the center of the room, and around his chair on wheels were seven or eight small half-man-tall bookcases that could be moved, filled with books with tags, and large tables piled high with photographs, papers, and copies that he had gotten out of nowhere, but that he didn't have a computer.

"Wow~" Lu Xiaoling couldn't help but scream softly.

"Looks like we're busy tonight." Sun Yang shook his head and said.

They must rush to Zhijiang as soon as possible, so they must find out what Master Cao is investigating in the shortest possible time.
