Takeda caught up. Ma Ziya was lying on the ground, looking like she was dead, but in fact she had just fainted. Bai Lang let go of his heart when he saw this. She was gagged and her arm was scratched.

"This must have been the work of the murderous demon again, which shows that he is around here. He knew that we would find this place, so he knocked Ma Ziya unconscious before leaving. Where will he flee from? No matter where it comes from, it will be discovered by officers and soldiers! ”

"How could it be found! His whole person is almost as transparent as the one that is transparent. Takeda, quickly send someone to search the whole city, because he may be able to hide anywhere!"

At this time, Ma Ziya woke up with a hum, and then sat up slowly. More than a dozen gold coins rolled out of her pocket, and they were all newly issued gold coins from the Northland.

"Well, he was still one step ahead, and he planned to use these gold coins to make Ma Ziya tell him more. It seems that this must be an extremely important matter...... Ay! ”

Bai Lang suddenly saw an ancient book on the ground and was about to reach out to pick it up. was discovered by the girl, she suddenly got up and grabbed the ancient book, held it in her arms and took advantage of the situation to lie on the ground, desperately refusing to let go.

"That's true, that guy wanted to get this book, so he gave Ma Ziya so many gold coins. But Ma Ziya refused, so he wanted to rob it, and as a result, he injured the girl! ”

It took a lot of effort for Bai Lang to take the ancient book out of the girl's arms, and when he opened it, Bai Lang was stunned. I saw a piece of parchment pasted on the front page, and it was densely filled with small characters. Shirarou read slowly.

"The diary of Ma Zhenhuan, the former prime minister's bodyguard. …… It was remembered from 1913. ”

"Why do you write that?" Takeda didn't understand. "What's the point? Do you have any new discoveries?"

"Well, Ma Ziya's grandfather, who died two years ago, was called Ma Zhenhuan. That's why this diary will fall into Ma Ziya's hands. ”

"1913...... On Tuesday, the prime minister came to the ancient city of Dongzhou South District, and he prepared a room for the prime minister, and the next day, he prepared to go out to escort him. ”

"Oh, the former prime minister has been here."

"On October 29, he accompanied the Prime Minister to inspect the secret hiding organs. and reported to the department, which has not yet been discovered. ”

Hidden here, no one will find out......

As soon as she read this, Ma Ziya suddenly snatched the diary and ran downstairs.

"It's broken, chase after ......" Hakuro shouted as he hurried after him, and Takeda followed closely. But the door at the staircase has been plugged in by Ma Ziya, and it can't be opened at all.

"Are there any other stairs?" After looking for a long time, I came to the second floor. Some of the soldiers heard the commotion and rushed to do it, but they didn't know what to do, and no one had seen the mute girl's whereabouts.

At this moment, a woman stood at the end of the corridor, the wife of an officer, who lived in a small separate room there.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the child may be here, come quickly......" said the woman.

Bai Lang and Takeda hurried over: "How do you know?"

"The door was open, and I was about to go back to the house when I found it bolted from the inside."

Bai Lang pushed, and the door was indeed tight.

"Madame, where is the window?"

"On the side facing the yard."

"Okay, go over there!" Shirarou and Takeda come to the courtyard. Shirarou smashed the glass with Takeda's sword, reached inside and pulled the bolt, and jumped in through the window. I saw Ma Ziya squatting by the fire, and the diary was burning in the fire.

"Ah, she's doing such a stupid thing!" After Bai Lang dragged Ma Ziya aside, he reached for the diary, but the fire burned his hand. He hurried to find an iron rod, but it was too late. This extremely important diary was eventually burned to ashes.

"Alas, it is highly likely that this diary records the location of the secret documents...... So, the murderous demon also wants to get it. But now it's all a pile of dust! Both Shirarou and Takeda were disappointed.

"Bai Lang, could this girl have known the importance of this diary for a long time and deliberately pretended to be crazy?"

"No, she's like this, and she'll never understand. It is likely that her grandfather, when he was still alive, repeatedly told her that the book was so important that it must not be shown to others or fall into the hands of others. This stupid boy would rather die than violate his grandfather's last words. Therefore, she thought that it was better to burn it than to be robbed. Alas, what a fool this kid is! ”

"Why, it's no way! Without the diary, you're afraid you won't be able to find the secret documents! Takeda used this sneering tone to mock Hakuro again.

Bai Lang said with some anger: "No, I will find it!" ”

"Can you do it before 12 o'clock tomorrow?"

"Before 12 o'clock tonight!" Bai Lang said angrily.

"This hateful fellow, he will only be happy when this happens! And that murderous demon is going to go against me completely. How can I give in? I'm a thief and a thief! He regained his confidence.

I can't manage too much now, so let's eat my stomach first. After he and Takeda had eaten their fill in the dining room, Takahashi was drinking coffee when Takahashi came.

"Bai Lang, the minister has arrived, stand up quickly!" Takeda hurriedly called out to Hakuro, but Hakuro sat down in his easy chair with his head down and did not move, as if he had fallen asleep from exhaustion.

"Hey, Shiraro...... Feed! Takeda shook Hakuro, and Hakuro slid from his chair to the ground like a pile of mud, shook his body twice, and then didn't move.

"Ah——, what's wrong?" Takahashi was taken aback by what he saw. Takeda also hurriedly called the military doctor and hurriedly treated Shirakuro. Bai Lang was unconscious at this time. He was lifted to bed and given him an injection, but nothing happened. He had a weak pulse and dead gray skin.

"Maybe someone poisoned him, right? Takeda. Takahashi whispered, "If this man dies, chances are no one will be able to find the secret documents again, Mr. Takeda." ”

"Yes, but who will do this?"

"Could it be that you have poisoned your rice?"

"I ate with him! But I didn't do anything. ”

At this point, the medic said, "Did you drink coffee too?"

"No, I didn't."

"Then there's probably something wrong with the coffee." The military doctor picked up the cup that Bai Lang had used just now and sniffed the bottom of the remaining cup. I licked it with my fingers a little more, and suddenly his face changed greatly: "It's not good, this is an extremely violent poison." As long as you drink it, you can't heal. ”

"Oh, who would do it? Takeda, hurry up and investigate! The murderer must still be in the city. Most likely someone in the kitchen made it. Mobilize people to search the whole city immediately! The minister was already so annoyed that his beard trembled. At this time, Takeda was only frightened and said yes, like an echo worm, terrified.

Although the military doctor worked very hard to treat and inject him, he had little effect, and Bai Lang lay on the bed as if he was dead, with a high fever of more than 40 degrees. Although the heart is still beating, it is also faint and sometimes even pauses.
