Professor Wu asked me to take out the diary and take out the nautical charts from under the cover.

It wasn't until this time that I could see exactly what this nautical chart looked like.

Then, Professor Wu said mysteriously: "Now that the map is there, there is a secret that can also be told to you together, when my tutor studied this map, he came to an inference based on the secret words behind it, and the branch line that can be separated on the navigation chart is the place where Xu Fu finally reached."

But you don't know it, the secret language also mentions that Xu Fu built a tomb for himself in a certain place, and buried a large amount of gold that he got from Qin Shi Huang.

I can't estimate the exact amount of gold, but it's definitely a shocking number, so I wonder if you'd be interested in giving me a trip? ”

This time it was the turn of the three of us to be surprised, at the beginning when Professor Wu gave me the check, I was still a little worried, whether it would be another ghost building or something, now that he said this, it was really worth a trip.

Uncle Long seemed to be a little unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, and said with a glare: "Old Wu, don't lie to us, if there are really so many golden treasures, brother, I will be the first to go with you!" ”。

Professor Wu said: "You and Lin Qian are my old friends and my students, so you should both know how much I attach importance to this matter, right?"

Finding out the last trace of Xu Fu is my wish for most of my life, and I will never joke about this matter. ”

Uncle Long's face suddenly bloomed with joy, and he said with a smile: "That's good, that's good, as long as Elder Wu needs my help, it's incumbent on the younger brother." ”

However, Lin Qian asked with a worried face, "Professor, won't we become tomb robbers in this case?" You have been doing archaeology all your life, and you should know how important Xu Fu's whereabouts are in the field of historiography. If we act privately for others to find out, that's ......"

As soon as these words came out, I suddenly felt a little drumming in my heart, after all, whoever picked up gold and silver or something belonged to him, but the ancient tomb really can't be dug casually.

I only heard Professor Wu say: "You don't have to worry about this, I have already greeted my superiors, although we are acting in private, but as long as we can find out the tomb of Xu Fu, it can be regarded as solving a major historical puzzle, and when the time comes, just hand over the valuable cultural relics, and no one will pursue the rest." ”

With Professor Wu's reassurance, no one said anything anymore. In this way, the matter is basically decided, Uncle Long took the initiative to bear the financial problem and became the financier of our operation, while Lin Qian and I were responsible for miscellaneous matters such as materials.

Early the next morning, Professor Wu sent me an address and asked me to follow the address to find someone to get a copy of the information.

I thought it was nothing else anyway, so I went.

When I arrived at the place, I saw that it was a small shop selling camping supplies, and the owner was called Han Sen, who looked about thirty years old.

I told him that Professor Wu had asked me to pick up the materials, and he led me into the back of the shop, and when I sat down, I realized that it was still a double store, with camping supplies on the outside and a lot of antiques on the inside.

I saw that the clothes Han Sen was wearing and the bedding he used for rest were camouflage, so I smiled and said, "Brother Han must be from a military background, right?" ”

But he didn't reply, but asked me with a cold face: "Professor Wu has already made a plan?" ”

I shook my head, "It's not specific enough at the moment, he just asked me to come to you and say you'll understand." ”

He added, "Okay, I see, please tell the professor that I have prepared as agreed, this is my new number and the information you need." As he spoke, he handed over a business card and a folder.

I saw that he was still smiling, and I knew that this person didn't talk much nonsense, and it was boring to sit down again, so I got up and said goodbye.

On the way back, I opened the folder and looked at it, and there were some geographical indications and latitude and longitude information, which should be related to nautical charts.

At the end of the file is a photograph of a man's back, tall, muscular with a boxy tattoo on the back of his neck.

I didn't understand what this meant after watching it for a long time, and when I turned over the back, I saw a name written in the lower left corner - Qin Xuanling.

Subsequently, I took the materials to the apartment where Professor Wu lived, but I didn't expect that it was Xiaoqian who opened the door for me.

Probably remembering the gaffe I had when I first met her, Xiao Qian snickered all the way and led me into Professor Wu's study.

I have to say that this little girl is really smart, and she was stunned to make my eyes look straight again.

When Professor Wu saw that I was still that virtuous, he stared at me playfully and said, "What? When you come to my house, you still want to kidnap my goddaughter? ”

I hurriedly explained: "This is your goddaughter, at first I thought it was your Xiaomi, professor, don't think about it, I don't think she looks too beautiful, I can't help but look at it a few more times." ”

As soon as Xiao Qian heard me say that she was Professor Wu's Xiaomi, she was immediately a little unhappy, and pouted: "Why are you so dirty in your mind, just thinking about these messes." ”

Professor Wu couldn't help but smile when he saw this, and then persuaded: "Okay Xiaoqian, he is also unintentional, didn't you hear him praise you for being beautiful just now?" You go down first, and then I'm afraid his saliva will come down. ”

Xiao Qian glanced at me fiercely again, and then pouted and walked out of the room.

Professor Wu took the materials I brought and said straight to the point: "These materials are all prepared by me, which are very helpful for what we are about to do, and with these, we can make a detailed plan." ”

I asked him, "Professor, what are we going to do?" Where do you go first? ”

Professor Wu simply replied to me with two words: "Quanzhou".

I was puzzled: "Quanzhou? Why go there? ”

The professor picked up a yellowed document in his hand and said to me: "This is the research material of my supervisor, which says that according to their inference, the most likely starting point of the branch line on the nautical chart is a small island near Quanzhou.

There is a tomb there that is said to be the burial of one of Xu Fu's disciples, and if you find the tomb, you can determine the subsequent route on the chart. ”

I asked, "So until now we only knew the starting point and couldn't determine the exact route?"

Professor Wu said: "That's right, don't look at the route drawn on the navigation chart, but it is really not easy to confirm its specific direction, geological movement has never stopped throughout the ages, a place was a mountain hundreds of years ago, and it is very likely that it will become a lake after a few hundred years."

At present, it is only known that the small island mentioned in the document is outside the ancient Quanzhou Port, and it is necessary to exclude more than 20 surrounding islands of the same size, which is difficult to imagine. ”

Then, he talked about how to act after arriving in Quanzhou, and asked me to grasp in advance, the whole process seems simple, but in fact it is difficult to achieve it in one step.

But with Professor Wu giving me this point, I have a good idea of what I will face next.

Seeing that it was noon again, Professor Wu left me to eat together, and I thought that this trip to the detective agency must be arranged, so I hurriedly said goodbye and slipped away.

As soon as I arrived at the office, I saw Yun Jin sitting on the sofa with an angry face.

Yesterday, when I came to Xiaozhi to check her mobile phone, she happened to be absent, and when she saw me coming back, she asked angrily: "Do you still know that you are coming back, my president?" Where did you die these two days? I'm the only one who runs this detective agency, right? Do you know that the big guy hasn't received bonuses and dividends for several months, if you want to break up, just say it! ”

With the check given by Professor Wu, I was naturally full of confidence and said, "Comrade Yun Jin! We can't think so superficially about problems, life is to stand the test. No, now we're here to do our best! ”

As I said that, I took out the two checks, Yun Jin looked at them, her eyes were straight, and she asked, "Where did you get the check?" ”

I said: "I've been busy for the past two days, so I didn't bother to tell you, I'm going to Quanzhou soon, and this is the commission given by the customer." What do you think? Is there no problem with bonuses and dividends now? ”

Yun Jin asked again: "What kind of customer is this, who can give you one million as soon as he makes a move?" Also, you haven't said what you've been doing for the past two days! ”

I had to tell her what had happened first, and then told her that I was going to Quanzhou with Professor Wu next, so that she could temporarily take care of all the affairs of the society.
