Shirarou was disappointed. The cover of this sutra is not black sheepskin, but reddish-brown, and is not particularly old. Wrong, it's definitely not this one. His enthusiasm was gone.

He was so disappointed that he opened the Buddhist scriptures at random and flipped them back one by one. Suddenly, one of the pages drew him deeply.

On the last page of this reddish-brown Buddhist scripture, the names of three people are written in beautiful handwriting, which seems to have been done by a woman:

Fu Zhonglin

Wife Shi Lili

The eldest daughter, Zhong Qian

"Hey, how is the font on this exactly the same as the one on Shi Lili's diary? The mother's name is Shi Lili, the daughter's original name is Zhong Qian, and the father is Zhong Lin. But how did the peasant get this sutra?"

With this Buddhist scripture in hand, Bai Lang immediately rushed back to Gu Su's house. After listening to the story of Gu Su and his wife, he was very surprised to learn the following information:

Zhong Lin is a veteran historian, especially for the Gumeng expeditionary forces, and he has in-depth research. In order to find materials about the expeditionary force, Zhong Lin and his wife Shi Lili went to the former site of Captain Wan, but at that time, Captain Wan's house had long been a wheat field, and they could not find any valuable materials.

However, Zhong Lin and his wife still investigated the things left behind by the Captain Wan family, and went to the temple to look through the written records of the past. They stayed here for three months and stayed at Gu Su's house.

"He was a very erudite and dedicated researcher, and he is said to have a doctorate in literature." Gu Su told Bai Lang like this.

"His wife is a very beautiful and very considerate woman!" Gu Su's wife said.

"At that time, did the doctor and his wife have any children?" Bai Lang asked.

"Yes, a very cute little girl. Her name is Zhong Qian, and she may not be more than six months old. When it came to children, Gu Su's wife became even more interested.

"If that's the case, then the doctor and his wife should have been more than ten years ago when they investigated here, right?"

"That's right. There was an early disaster that year, and the grapes were all out of production. Gu Suqu counted it.

"This sutra, isn't it theirs?"

"Yes. The sutra that Tullena stole was left to me by the lady as a souvenir, and we gave them a sutra as a souvenir. ”

Gu Su's wife laughed and told about it.

But after Bai Lang listened to it, he was stunned: "What does the Buddhist scripture you gave back look like?"

"It was a very unsightly Buddhist scripture. What comes out of a small farm yard like ours is nothing more than a tattered Buddhist scripture. However, the lady told us that this kind of object for the whole family was truly memorable. Therefore, she happily accepted the sutra. It was a Buddhist scripture with a black sheepskin and a particularly dirty cover. ”

"Oh? It's a ?...... of black sheepskin."

Bai Lang was so excited that his blood was boiling. He firmly believed that it must be the Buddhist scripture with a black sheepskin cover.

"Did you buy that sutra?"

"No, it was picked up from a mess of the Erji family. Since it is a Buddhist scripture, although it is a little worn, I still picked it out of the tatters and took it out and used it every day. ”

"Oh, I see," Hakuro understood. He believes that the Buddhist scripture with the black sheepskin cover must have been taken away by Shi Lili, the wife of Zhong Lin.

According to Gu Su's wife, Mrs. Zhong Lin did not know that there were secrets hidden in this Buddhist scripture, and of course, she was even less clear about the relationship between this Buddhist scripture and the treasure of the Erji family.

"Was there any news about the Doctor's family later?"

"When they returned to a place called Dongzhou, the lady often wrote to us, but after about a year, she suddenly disappeared from hillbillies like us, and naturally they didn't always remember it."

"However, about a year later, we received another letter from the lady saying that she was going to the Holy Land of West Asia to investigate the news of the expeditionary force." Gu Su said after his wife.

"After arriving at the Holy Land of West Asia, has the Doctor returned?"

"It's not clear. Because after that, my wife never wrote to us again. ”

Bai Lang, who had many subordinates and had all the research materials of various aspects of society, knew a little about such a senior historian, the research work he carried out, and the circumstances of his research trips to the holy land of West Asia.

However, he did not see any news of the doctor's return to China. At that time, he did not know that the little girl rescued on the snowfield in the forest was the biological daughter of the doctor and his wife.

Why did Zhong Qian become an outcast? There may be a huge hidden truth in this. Hakuro realizes that there must be a shocking case involved.

He speculated that the Doctor and his wife were in an extremely difficult situation.

He hurriedly said goodbye to Gu Su and his wife, and hurried back to Dongzhou's hiding place. Didn't think of it. At home, a surprising event also happened.

As soon as Huang Xiuping, who came out to open the door for him, saw him, she asked:

"Huh? How did you come back alone? Isn't Shi Lili with you?"

"What? What's wrong with Shi Lili?"

"Hey, didn't you hear from me? Yesterday, she received a letter from you and immediately went out. ”

"My letter?...... I don't know! ”

"Hey, didn't you send someone to pick up Shi Lili with your letter?"

"What time?"

"Yesterday afternoon, just after 3 o'clock! That's what you wrote. ”

Shirarou opened the letter and read it. The letter was very simple, asking Shi Lili to go with the sender, and the final signature was exactly the same as Bai Lang's own font. However, after Bai Lang glanced at it, he knew that it was a fake.

Who deceived Shi Lili? What is their purpose? Bai Lang frowned, pondered for a long time, and studied the font on the letter very carefully, but still couldn't figure it out. Inadvertently, he flipped through the letter, and when he looked at it, he couldn't help but "Oops! A loud scream.

In the center of the reverse side of the letter, a very small mark is drawn, which is drawn in blue ink and looks like a short sword. Looking at the shape of the dagger, there are two rose-colored stars painted on the hilt. This is most likely a sign of an underground group.

However, it is not clear which underground group uses this mark. There was nothing unusual about the sender's appearance, so all the information that Grandma Huang Xiuping could provide was that it was a young man, about twenty-five or six years old.

Bai Lang sent his men to search for Zhong Qian everywhere. In addition, he carefully studied the blue shortsword mark. However, Zhong Qian did not find it, and neither did the underground group that used that marker.

This is really a strange thing, Zhong Qian disappeared in this world like smoke, where did she go?
