Shirarou concentrated all his energy on the dial and the hour hand, probably due to excessive agitation, making his face pale. Everyone else watched the peculiar demonstration in silence. After the last striking of the clock, the "click" of the mechanism was heard, and the bell stopped swinging.

"Ahh Just when everyone was amazed, the carved celestial characters on the top of the big bell suddenly fell to the side, revealing a small hole in the wall behind it.

Bai Lang hurriedly stepped forward and reached into the hole and pulled out something. The others took a closer look and saw that it was a finely made silver box.

Bai Lang respectfully presented the box to Takahashi and said, "Minister, this is the secret document you have been looking for, please take a look at it for yourself!" ”

Bai Lang said with an extremely smug gesture. But he should also be proud of this, because the great detective Wu Changhao and the hateful murderous demon did not succeed, and he was the only one who solved the mystery. This fully proves that Bai Lang is better than them. He felt proud of it, and there was nothing to say.

"Oh, Hakuro is amazing!" Takahashi's excited hands trembled a little, and he slowly opened the lid. Suddenly, with an "ah" sound, he almost threw the box on the ground, and the inside of the box turned out to be empty!

Bai Lang was very embarrassed by the situation in front of him, and he was still full of ambition just now, but now he was angry because of his annoyance, which made his face very terrifying. But in order not to make any mistakes, he took the box with a trembling hand and examined it carefully, hoping to find any clues in it, but it was all in vain, and it turned out that there was nothing in it. So angry that he slammed the box on the ground and stepped on it, and the box flattened.

In this way, it seemed to calm his anger a little, and then he said to Takahashi in a gentle manner, "Minister, this is the man who did it again." I'm still a step late! ”

"Who is it?"

"It's the murderous demon who killed Fang Haigao, Major Lan Lin and many others!"

"Oh, but when did he find the box?"

"Just last night. Minister, he arrived in the ancient city an hour before me, and he coaxed the mute girl with gold coins to read the diary written by Ma Zhenhuan. ”

"Oh, that diary is about this secret agency?"

"I think so too. Ma Ziya's grandfather must have repeatedly warned her not to let anyone see the diary. The murderous demon didn't know what trick he used, coaxed Ma Ziya, and saw the diary. I learned the secret of 8.1.3 and got the locket. At this time, it is very likely that he is still in the city, secretly observing our every move.

Perhaps, he had an accomplice who told him what was going on here. Well, there must be an accomplice of his here. Otherwise, under the eyes and ears of many people, he could not have done such a bold thing alone. Just last night, his accomplice poisoned my coffee and was ready to poison me. Fortunately, I often take ancient antidotes, so I don't have to worry about my life. He wanted to shoot me, but he was afraid of injuring Takeda by mistake. ”

"Oh, and how do you know that he took the contents of the box last night?"

"It says it all here!" Shirahiro pointed to the small hole. I saw a few white chalk words there: the evening of August 24.

Takahashi nodded and said, "Since the murderous demon also thought of this, found the answer, and got the document, right?" Is there any way to get these documents back?"

"Well, this ......" Shirarou was about to say something, when there was a commotion and the screams of a woman from the hallway.

"What's wrong? Takeda, go check it out! ”

Takeda hurriedly ran out, and then ran back and said, "Ma Ziya, I insisted on rushing in like crazy, but I was stopped by the soldiers. ”

Bai Lang felt bad when he heard this, and shouted: "Quick, let her in!" ”

"Takeda, bring her in!" Takeda hurriedly brought Ma Ziya in. Shirarou and Takahashi were stunned by what they saw. The girl's bloodless face twisted in pain, and her mouth was dripping with blood like a ghost.

"It's not good, it's bad!" Bai Lang couldn't stop shouting in grief: "She's poisoned, quick, call a doctor!" ”

Takeda hurriedly went to call a doctor, and Bai Lang helped the girl who was gradually weakening and said, "Ma Ziya, who is it, who harmed you?" Tell me ......."

At this time, the mute girl could no longer speak half a word. I saw her stretch out her hand and dip it in the blood in her mouth, and write two big words on the wall:

Firebird

As soon as he finished writing, he collapsed to the ground, whimpering for his life.

"Dead?" Takahashi whispered.

"It's poisoned! It must have been the murderous demon who did it! He was afraid that the girl would reveal his true identity, and brutally kill people! Bai Lang said and dripped, dripping tears of sadness.

It's so inhumane to attack such a weak girl! So, he's my mortal enemy! Good...... I'm going to stay the course! Hakuro strengthened his determination to take revenge.

Takahashi said very sternly to Takeda, who had returned: "Immediately carry out a comprehensive search and arrest all suspicious people who leave the country!" ”

He turned around and said to Bai Lang, "I'll give you freedom." Act now to catch the killer demon and retrieve my lost secret documents! ”

"Yes!" Bai Lang nodded in agreement. Yes! I'm finally free. Takahashi is using me, but I'm also using him. Not only can I move freely within country E, but I can do so even within the northern country. With this privilege, I can catch the killer and get the documents back to avenge my hatred......

In his heart, a new fighting spirit was aroused.

"Madame, this gentleman has arrived." The servant handed over a business card with Andre on it. Madame didn't know anyone who came.

"It's good to say I'm not there...... I didn't know him at all. ”

"Yes. But he said Madame you are waiting for him, so be sure to see you. ”

Mrs. Fang Haigao frowned, secretly wondering who this person could be?......

She had recently moved out of the Emgrand Hotel and into a rented home from the city. It was quieter, so she lived a quieter life. Although she had the pain of losing her husband, with the passage of time, her body has recovered, making her show her original dignified beauty, but her face inevitably shows a trace of sadness and loneliness.

"Okay, let him in!" After a while, a handsome young man entered.

"You're Mr. Andrea? We don't seem to have met......"

"I'm an old friend of Miss Conley's grandmother and Grandma Feng. The other day, you wrote to the old lady that she was looking for me, so I came to see you. ”

"That, that...... You are ......"

"It's me, and it's Shen Hongwei below."

"Oh, I can't see it at all!"

"Yes! Because I've already put on makeup, I don't look like a white rook! That's me, too. ”

Sun Lilan nodded expressionlessly. She had already learned in the newspaper that Shen Hongwei was pretended to be Bai Lang, and Director Li Ming was also replaced by him.

But what will happen between Sun Lilan and Bai Lang?
