Li Changan patted Xiaodouding's head as a sign of encouragement.

This discovery was indeed very important, and it also made his heart shake a little.

Did Yang Jiande really die in an accident?

Is this mission really over after he took the initiative from the Security Bureau?

Returning the floor drain to its original state, Li Changan silently walked out of the toilet.

Aside from this small amount of "copper and fire mine" powder, Xiao Douding did not perceive any other anomalies.

But he didn't leave right away.

The entire master bedroom was still carefully inspected.

"Modern Mining Handbook", "Geotechnical Slope Stability Analysis", "Digital Mining Technology", "Rock Mechanics of Underground Mining", ..... I didn't expect Yang Jiande to be quite studious. ”

Looking at the books listed on the desk, Li Changan couldn't help but sigh.

Mining is also a science, and there is no shortage of professional knowledge involved, judging from the books on Yang Jiande's desk, he really delved into it.

Perhaps, in a few years, he may become one of the leaders of the Helong mine from a small foreman.

But turning down, Li Changan was a little surprised.

"How to tell if there are spirit beasts in the mine", "Spirit beasts that may appear in the mine and how to deal with them", "How to find the spirit beast underground", ......

More or less of them are books related to spirit animals.

If you really want to explain, it actually makes sense, and this is a precautionary measure.

But combined with the clay slime he encountered in the mine yesterday, Li Changan noticed that something was not quite right.

"Meow! Meow! ”

At this time, Xiao Phantom, who was standing on its shoulder, pointed to one of the books and kept calling.

"Huh?"

Following the direction it was pointing, Li Changan looked over and soon found that something was wrong.

Pick up one of the books and look at it from the side.

From the side, I saw a few sheets of paper that were obviously darker.

If you don't look closely, you won't be able to spot it.

Li Changan looked at the sides of the other books again, and found that they were also mixed with darker colored paper.

Whoa—

Li Changan quickly opened one and turned to the page in which the color was significantly darker.

When he saw the content on it, Li Changan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Ancient scripts?"

And it seems that it seems to be a rubbing plate of an ancient book, with obvious traces of copying, bound in the book, and not easy to find.

Is this a separate ancient book placed in so many books?

"Well done, Phantom." Li Changan couldn't help but praise.

I almost missed it.

After all, no one is going to be idle and go through the pages one by one.

"Meow~~"

Xiao Huan's crystal blue eyes blinked twice, and he raised his head slightly, with a little pride.

Rubbed its head.

The eyes are really pointed.

After complimenting, Li Changan turned his attention back to the ancient characters on this page.

Although the ancient characters printed on this paper are not the kind he learned from Professor Yan Fuchun, they are more like an evolutionary body.

After all, the birth of human beings has a long history, and there will not be only one type of writing used during this period.

However, the text evolves slowly, and if you start from some details and the perspective of writing, you can still read a thing or two.

Especially for someone like Li Changan, who specializes in history.

Of course, it's not easy to read.

"History... Lai... Governess... Gay? Homogeneous? .... Basis ....."

Well?

Reading and reading, Li Changan felt that something was not right.

"Slime?"

"Squeak!!"

At this time, Xiao Douding, who was standing at the door and was holding the wind, ran towards him quickly, jumped on him in three or two times, and heard movement from downstairs.

Helpless.

Li Changan could only quickly close the book and restore the desktop to its original state.

Fortunately, he did not mess up the order of the books beforehand, and it was quickly restored to its original state.

It's just that at this moment, he wants to have a mobile phone, at least take a picture of the ancient characters on this page, so that he can go back and interpret it carefully.

It seems necessary to go back and apply for a mobile phone...... Li Changan quickly cleaned up, walked out of the master bedroom, and gently closed the door.

It's impossible to buy, I won't buy it in my life, the price of mobile phones is ridiculously expensive in this world, so I can only try to apply from the Tranquility Society.

When he walked up the stairs, he happened to see Gu Li and Zheng Chunyue walking up.

Gu Li, who was walking behind, also gave him an apologetic expression.

She's been dragging on long enough.

But you can't let Zheng Chunyue, the master, not go back to her room to rest, right?

"Miss Gu, I took a general look, there shouldn't be anything missing, let's put more energy into the pension." Li Changan said as usual.

"Uh, okay." Gu Li was stunned for a moment, and responded slowly.

"Really...... Thank you both. ”

Zheng Chunyue was grateful for this.

Then Gu Li said a few words to her briefly, and then left with Li Changan.

...

"How?"

After leaving Yang Jiande's self-built building, Gu Li couldn't wait to ask.

Li Changan did not answer immediately.

Just holding Xiao Phantom with one hand, and gently stroking it on its back with the other, in exchange for Xiao Phantom's comfortable "purring" sound.

Suppose, Yang Jiande is a spirit master......

If you don't be bold when you assume, when will you be bold?

Otherwise.

What are those rubbings of ancient books mixed with books used for?

But...... According to Yang Jiande's information, even if he is a spirit master, he doesn't look like a person who can understand those ancient languages.

Whew-

When he came back to his senses, he saw Gu Li's hand shaking in front of his eyes.

"What do you think?"

Li Changan shook his head.

I found a small shop on the street and walked in.

took out the tofu clip prepared for him by his aunt Zhao Lijuan and ate it.

"Meow?"

Smelling the smell of tofu clips, Xiao Phantom, who was still lazy, suddenly came to his senses and propped up his head.

However, it had eaten it and Xiaodouding before, and could only look at Li Changan with blank eyes.

In this regard, Li Changan could only smile helplessly, and finally divided the two little guys.

"It's ......"

It was the first time Gu Li had seen such a thing as a tofu clip, Xiao Qiong's nose twitched, and her eyes lit up.

"Taste?" Li Changan is not stingy.

"Uh-huh!"

Not to mention.

With Gu Li's identity, the tofu clip she had never eaten before made her very happy.

It's just that the shopkeeper is looking at the two of them, and it's a little not very "friendly".

"How do you feel about Zheng Chunyue?" Li Changan suddenly asked.

Gu Li thought about it against his chin and said:

"It's pathetic. was originally a very weak person, and the family relied on Yang Jiande alone. Now that Yang Jiande is dead, she doesn't know how to live the rest of her life, so let's help her more. ”

Kindness is a little uncontrollable.

continued: "And Yang Jiande used to be very good to her, the relationship between husband and wife is very harmonious, she now washes her face with tears every day, I am afraid that she will cry and have problems." ”

Rapprochement?

Li Changan couldn't help but chuckle.

There was a hint of sarcasm in the laughter.

Under Gu Li's puzzled gaze, he said slowly:

In Yang Jiande's home, the table, kitchen, and even the frame of the word "Fu" hanging on the wall have been wiped spotlessly. But the incense ash in front of Yang Jiande's posthumous photo, even if it was sprinkled on the ground, was not cleaned up. Is this sentimental good? ”

Hearing this, Gu Li blinked.

"Observe so closely?"

This is really not Li Changan's deliberate observation so meticulous.

It was a few words from the mine doorman yesterday that made him realize that the relationship between Yang Jiande and Zheng Chunyue may not be very good.

Today it was confirmed.

"Then why did she say that the relationship was so good? For the sake of face? Gu Li asked.

Li Changan glanced at her and raised the corners of Yang's mouth.

"It could also be for money, for sympathy."

"For money......" Gu Li was stunned.

Ignoring Gu Li's reaction.

Whew——

Just as the two of them were thinking about it, a car outside the door stopped at the door very simply, and the sound of brakes was even more harsh.

"Meow!"

Xiao Phantom hurriedly pulled down his ears with both hands to cover them, muttering and looking towards the door with indignation.

Bang!!

I saw a middle-aged man wearing a leather jacket with a scruffy beard and slightly messy hair walking down, looking up at the store's sign, and after confirming that he was correct, he strode in.

Soon.

He saw Li Changan and Gu Li sitting inside.

You're welcome, pull out a chair and sit next to it.

"Meow!"

Xiao Phantom bared his teeth and his eyes were not good.

"Team Zhang? What are you doing here? ”

Gu Li was a little surprised when he saw someone coming.

He was exactly two days ago, when Li Changan had just arrived in Ningyuan County, he "made trouble" for Li Changan's Zhang team, Zhang Weihe, in the office of the director of the Public Security Bureau.

Captain of the second detachment of the Ningyuan County Public Security Bureau.

Bang –

I saw Zhang Weihe, the Zhang team, take out a document from his leather jacket and throw it in front of Li Changan.

His gaze swept over Xiao Phantom.

The action is slightly restrained.

"I invited you."

Li Changan nodded at Zhang Weihe and said hello, and said with a smile.

"You invited it?"

"Meow?"

At this moment, Xiao Huan and Gu Li's expressions were almost the same.

However, judging from Li Changan's performance in the Public Security Bureau that day, Team Zhang and him should not have a good relationship.

"Team Zhang, how's it going?"

Li Changan didn't explain, just looked sideways at Team Zhang.

But Team Zhang's expression was very serious.

stared at Li Changan for a long time, as if he wanted to get to know the young man in front of him again.

In the end, he couldn't see anything from Li Changan's face, so he could only say in a deep voice:

"Your guess is correct."

"Oh?"

Li Changan's eyes narrowed.

Team Zhang continued:

"According to the information you provided yesterday, we used 'special' means to dig deeper, and we really found some clues."

During yesterday's mine trip, Li Changan learned from the doorman that Yang Jiande seemed to have done something not very good.

It is impossible to continue to use the method of unannounced visits, so I can only ask the Public Security Bureau to use force to investigate.

This is something that has no signs of being difficult for the Public Security Bureau to do.

But once there are signs, the Public Security Bureau's ability to do things is definitely much stronger than Li Changan alone.

"Didn't alarm too many people, did you?" Li Changan began to look through the documents.

"Don't worry."

If he doesn't have this ability to do things, how can Zhang Weihe be the captain of the Public Security Bureau?

Li Changan explained that he should move as little as possible, and Zhang Weihe focused on investigating individual people.

"Someone in the mine sells spirit beast locations to the black market?" Li Changan saw the contents of the document and raised his eyebrows.

This is what Yang Jiande did?

What do you do to peddle spirit animal locations?

"Look down."

Zhang Weihe didn't elaborate, just asked him to continue watching.

Seeing the end, Li Changan's face gradually sank.

"There are a total of five missing people in the Helong mine, five unknown people?"

Places like mines, like many remote construction sites, require labor, so many people who have no identity, or have problems with their identity, will come to work.

In many cases, the person in charge turns a blind eye.

Hearing this, Gu Li stood up directly, his face full of disbelief.

"We asked, it was brought in by Yang Jiande, and the person in charge of the mine pressed the news, saying that he wanted to speed up the progress."

After a short pause, Zhang Weihe added:

"In fact, not only Helong Mine, but also several other mines in Ningyuan County have similar things. And I suspect that these people have all disappeared without a trace. ”

That is, dead.

People who don't have an identity don't pay much attention when they die.

"It's good enough." Li Changan's voice could not hear any emotion.

just squinted at Zhang Weihe.

Zhang Weihe's expression darkened.

He understood what Li Changan meant.

There have been so many missing and fatal accidents in Ningyuan County, just because they didn't break out, their security bureau didn't notice it at all?

It's all about slapping them in the face.

"Team Zhang, why don't you tell me your conjecture?"

"I suspect it's a mouthful." Zhang Weihe did not hesitate, and spoke concisely and clearly.

It's about the same as Li Changan's guess.

"Lend me my phone." He turned his head and said to Gu Li.

"Huh."

Gu Li obediently took out his mobile phone.

Li Changan walked out the door and dialed the phone.
