Zhang Ji said: "The very surprising thing is the behavior of Aixin Jueluo Fengze. Although he stayed at home all day, once a year he staggered out into the courtyard, sometimes sitting on the stone steps, sometimes sitting on the stone bench by the ancient well, looking blankly at the sky, thoughtful, or wandering around looking for a breath. And this day must be October 10 every year.

He waited until after 5:27 p.m. that day, sighing in frustration and disappointment, to get up, and staggered back to his room to rest. The next day, if you ask him about yesterday, he seems to have forgotten all about it. It was like a person suffering from sleepwalking, or a person with sleepy eyes and hazy eyes who had not yet woken up. In 1930, Aisin Jueluo Fortress died, but until his death, he did not stop his strange actions.

"I think he must have heard about the treasure from his father. Despite the insanity, I seem to remember the day of October 10th and the treasure hunt. ”

"Oh, insightful, insightful." Bai Lang nodded again and again, "But, what about after Aisin Jueluo Fengze dies?"

About a few years after his death, Aisin Jueluo Fortress and his sister's children and grandchildren were so keen to find the treasure that they turned the yard upside down, and carefully searched the many dead corners of the house, and searched the inside and outside of the ancient well, and finally left with regret.

"Are their descendants still hunting for treasure until now?"

"No, they don't have that energy anymore. However, every year on October 10, once a year, they would come to the courtyard from all directions, as promised, and sit there until it got dark. ”

When Zhang Ji said this, Bai Lang glanced at the Blue Devil, as if to say that the strange crowd we saw just now was the descendants of the Aixin Jueluo family.

"The descendants of Aixin Jueluo are now living in poverty, and some have even been reduced to flowers. However, they were convinced that the gold and silver treasures were still hidden in the house. ”

"Are the gold and silver treasures still there?" Bai Lang asked.

The notary Zhang Ji shook his head and said: "I don't think it's possible, the old maid's last words are doubtful, although she is a diligent and faithful woman, but when she is dying, she is already a handful of old people, and she is a little delirious." It may also be because he is sick and has a high fever, and he is speechless and incoherent. ”

Zhang Ji smiled bitterly, and continued: "First, after several generations of searching in this house, they have all retreated in vain, and besides, there is no other place. At the same time, no treasure maps or anything like that have been found; Second, if it's just a gemstone like a diamond, there's a small place to hide it. But it's gold and silver, and it's bags of the size, isn't it possible that you can't find it?"

"By the way, is all Aisin Jueluo Zaiyi hiding bags of gold and silver?" Shirarou asked, then fell back into deep thought. After a while, he asked, "You said that there are two other paintings that are so identical." Really?"

"Yes. Aisin Jueluo Zaiyi painted a total of three paintings in prison, and this one was deposited by Aisin Jueluo Fengze's descendants with the former notary Dai Bo. When I took over this notary office, it was handed over to me. The other is supposed to be with his sister's descendant, a widow named Lady Aisin Jueluo. The third one, where it is, I don't know. ”

The Blue Devil was about to say, "That one is here." Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of Bai Lang giving him a look, as if he asked him not to say it.

"Are the three paintings the same at the same time?"

"Yes."

"But you can't finish three paintings in one day!"

"Not bad. Therefore, the time when the painting was signed does not represent the time when the painting was completed, and that day was the place where he was arrested and imprisoned. ”

Bai Lang thought for a moment, and then said, "I also want to ask you a question, if you want to solve this strange mystery, do you allow the people of the Aixin Jueluo family to archaeology?"

"Hmm, so you want to go treasure hunting, too? OK. Many people had searched for that treasure before that. When my predecessor, Dai Bo, was the head of the notary public, there were various people who went to the house to hunt for treasures and turned the yard into a mess, but in the end they didn't find even a dollar. As a result, treasure hunters flocked to the city, leaving Dai Bo struggling to cope. So, he charged the treasure hunters a fee. ”

"How much?"

"5,000 yuan, and if the treasure is found, one-third will go to the treasure hunter, and two-thirds will go to the descendants of Aixin Jueluo. However, now there is no one who comes up with 5,000 yuan to hunt for treasure. ”

"No, there's one here. Is it 5,000 yuan?"

"Oh, you ?......" Bai Lang didn't say a word, took out 5,000 yuan and slapped it on the table, Zhang Ji glanced at Bai Lang with surprised eyes.

"Then, please Mr. accept the 5,000 yuan, and then write me a receipt, and you will inform those descendants of Aixin Jueluo, and say that they will go to the ancient house on Jixing Street on October 10 next year.

"No, no notice, they gather there every year. However, to make sure there are no mistakes, I will write to them separately. ”

Zhang Ji wrote a receipt and handed it to Bai Lang.

I saw that it read:

Today, I received 5,000 yuan in cash from Mr. Xu Huairang.

The above cash is the handling fee for finding the treasure of Aixin Jueluo Ancient Mansion. Mr. Xu Huairang has the right to hunt for treasures in the ancient mansion. It's just that when the treasure is found, Mr. Xu Huairang can only own one-third of the treasure, and the remaining two-thirds must be returned to the descendants of the Aixin Jueluo family to divide equally.

Notary Public: Zhang Ji

Bai Lang folded the receipt and put it in his pocket, and then asked the Blue Devil to leave the notary office together.

"Hey, are you sure?"

"Not at all."

"So, isn't 5,000 yuan a waste?"

"But isn't that interesting? By October 10 next year, we still have a year to go, and I can still plan well, 5,000 yuan is not much! ”

"You're so stupid, I don't know how many people have tried to hunt for treasure over the years."

"If you dig without a plan, you can't find it, you have to use intellectual reasoning! First of all, we need to collect all kinds of information, and then we will discuss and analyze it. If you can do this, you will definitely find treasures. It's still a long time! There is a year of scrutiny, are you afraid that you can't find any clues? No, 365 days seems too long! Bai Lang said with confidence.

Since Zhang Ji left, for a whole year, the Blue Devil lost Bai Lang's message, and he didn't reply to his letters, so he went to his secret homes all over Dongzhou to look for them, the doors were all locked, and no one knew where Bai Lang went.

"This kid is such a busy man, he always likes to wander around and get involved in those mysterious or weird cases." The Blue Devil kept pondering in his heart, and at the same time, he was looking for his traces everywhere.
