267 Finding things in the study
The gunshots in the Meng family's mansion resounded through the sky for miles, and even people living on the edge of the British Concession could hear them, but they regarded these gunshots as firecrackers.
Many foreigners in the British Concession have lived in China for a long time, and they know that Chinese will set off firecrackers every New Year's holiday, even weddings and funerals. I just don't understand what kind of custom it is to fire guns in the middle of the night.
On the other side, in the Tong Building and the Ding Family Garden, many people also heard the movement, although they did not take the gunfire as firecrackers, but they also mistakenly thought that something big had happened to Tianjin Wei, I don't know if it was another disturbance of the party, or where and where there was a war.
From the end of the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, the common people have not lived a few days of peace, and they have long been accustomed to hearing the sound of gunfire, and everyone is hiding at home and dare not go out of the house, after all, the gun does not have long eyes. Besides, even if you don't lose your life by a stray bullet, you are afraid that if you go out and stick your bag, you may be charged with a crime, and those who compete for the dead ghosts in the Tianjin teaching case will become innocent souls who died in vain!
At this moment, there was chaos in the Meng family's mansion. The dining room was a mess, the walls, the roof, the tables, chairs, and cabinets were all covered with bullet holes, and the cups, plates, and food crumbs were everywhere.
There was a lot of cries in the restaurant, and the police were sitting and lying down. Many people were hit by the mourning nail thrown by the yellow-robed ancestor when he fled, although it was not fatal, but it was really painful to the heart and lungs.
The police guarding the periphery of Meng's house borrowed a medicine box and some first-aid bandaging supplies from Meng's house, and first helped the injured to disinfect and bandage. After all, I don't know if the nail on the funeral door is fed with poison, so I have to rush to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment after bandaging.
Han Dada'er and Li Huan were also injured, Li Huan was stabbed in the thigh with a sharp knife, but fortunately the main blood was not injured, but the wound was not small and still needed to go to the hospital for stitches.
Han Daring's shoulder was cut open by a bullet, and although he shed a lot of blood, it was fine. Then there was the slap on his chest, which made him breathe poorly, and his qi and blood surged. Fortunately, after his own examination, he found that his sternum and organs were not damaged, but he was temporarily stagnant by the force of his palm, and there was some blood stasis on his chest.
Fortunately, the man's palm power just now was far less powerful than that of the masked man, otherwise at such a close distance, even if Han Da'er's chest suddenly shrank half an inch, being hit by this blow would be enough to break his chest and hurt his heart and lungs, and if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured.
He thought it was just a simple case, so he didn't bring a gun when he went out, and he didn't have a Lu Mo knife on his body, nor a red and white double cherry short knife, only a few hidden iron chopsticks. If it weren't for that, when facing the enemy just now, he used the Lu Mo knife to perform the infinite knife technique, and the pump said that it was the man and woman who were attacking, even the yellow-robed ancestor had to let him catch it.
This fight made Han Daring have a doubt!
As far as he knew, the old ancestor in the yellow robe was born in the Word Sect. According to what Ye Ling said, the ability of the Syllables Sect should not be so bad, even if Han Da'er himself is immune to hallucinogens and has no hallucinogens to help, the Yellow Robe Ancestor, the master of the Three Yang Sect, should not only have this way!
Even if he suffers from Changchun immortality and is as petite as a child, he shouldn't be so mediocre. His ability to fire funeral nails only belongs to ordinary secret weapon techniques, and it is not a clever skill. If it weren't for his cunning and cunning, possession of guns, and the help of a man and a woman, he might not have escaped.
The ability of the Yellow Robe Ancestor is not as good as the double envoys and several protectors of the Sanyang Sect, at most it is a step higher than the master of the Seven Sects, with this ability, how can he serve the people in the sect, and can lead the Sanyang Sect to kill and decide?
With his ability, it is impossible for that masked man to be willing to serve under his command! Could it be that he is not a yellow-robed ancestor? But he himself had already acquiesced. There may be other skills that have not been revealed, but under the situation just now, he should not have left his hand in order to get out.
How could he manage and control such a huge cult organization?
At this time, Han Daring looked at the man and woman lying on the ground, who were originally pretending to be a couple surnamed Pei, and the man had been mourned by the ancestor in the yellow robe, and was directly sent away and returned to the west. Although the woman's uterus was out and her lower body was blurred with flesh and blood, she was still breathing weakly.
Han Da'er asked the car from the headquarters to pull up the injured policeman and the dying woman, and Fan Tong took him to the hospital for medical treatment, and instructed that the woman must be saved, and that she should be closely guarded and interrogated after the injury recovered.
At this time, Zhang Biao, Wang Zhen and Liu Fang finished their errands and returned to Meng's house with the copied evidence. When I entered the door, I couldn't help but be surprised when I saw that Han Daring was taking action this time, and he was even injured.
Wang Zhen and Liu Fang took all the evidence and escorted Meng Huaizhi back to the Investigation Department of the General Department to record the confession during the interrogation.
Zhang Biao continued to stay to assist Han Da'er, because the Meng family's matter was actually not over.
The yellow-robed ancestor tried his best to pretend to be the old man Meng and stay in the Meng family by borrowing the corpse, of course, not to help Meng Huaizhi find the copy of the will.
For the Sanyang Sect and the Yellow Robe Ancestor, the most important thing is to find clues to the lost Endless Ancient City and the Yuanqiao Immortal Mirror. Because Old Man Meng is an expert in the study of Ming history, Han Da'er feels that Old Man Meng must have important clues related to this in his hands.
Han Daring went to the study on the third floor twice to meet with the yellow-robed ancestor, but when he entered the study twice, he felt that there seemed to be something different in the study.
In fact, it is because although the furnishings and items in the study seem to have not changed their positions, they have moved slightly. Even the books in the bookcase, several of them are not in their original place. This is because the yellow-robed ancestor has actually been looking around in the study, the thing he wants to get!
Han Dada'er explained the specific situation to Meng Huairen, hoping to find this thing in Old Man Meng's study. But the Meng family is now in a mess, because Han Dada'er revealed the Meng family's mystery, which caused everyone's hearts to be sad and bleak.
Meng Huaixin was angry about the poisonous plan of his second brother Meng Huaizhi, and his anger was difficult to vent, and when the police escorted the Meng family to stay in the big living room, they beat Meng Huaizhi, and the two brothers with the same father and mother cursed each other viciously and scuffled together.
At that time, the police looked at the side of the defense restaurant, and no one paid attention to the fight between the two. Fortunately, Meng Huai and Mencius pulled the two apart, otherwise they would have to kill someone if they didn't wait for the case to be over! is still like this, when Meng Huaizhi was escorted away, the two of them were already blue and swollen, and their faces were covered with blood.
As soon as Meng Huaizhi was escorted away, Meng Huaixin wiped the blood on his face, changed his clothes, and went out to get drunk regardless of it.
Meng Huaizhi, the second lady of the Meng family, her husband died, she thought that her father was back, but the result was that the bamboo basket was empty, and now she has no spiritual support and emotional sustenance, she just blindly grieves, and vents her resentment on Han Dada'er and the police, if Meng Huairen hadn't stopped her, she would have picked up a broom and driven Han Da'er out of Meng's house.
After a long persuasion from the Meng family, Meng Huaili returned to the room on the second floor with a resentful look.
Although Zheng Wenqing is a literati and can't swear, but the old matter is brought up again, and the fig leaf was ruthlessly uncovered by Han Da'er, although this is already an open secret of the Meng family, but he still feels that he can't hold his face, and without waiting for the police to leave, he pulled Zheng Hao and Meng Huaiyi out of the Meng family.
Mencius, sitting quietly in the courtyard, looking at the sky, I don't know whether I am depressed or feel nostalgic.
At this moment, the huge Meng family seems to have become cold and empty. Meng Huairen felt deeply tired and weak, and Han Daring proposed to go to the study to find evidence, but he only said goodbye and went back to his room dejectedly.
Xiao Tao poured two cups of tea for Han Da'er and Bai Chongwei, and then went to the restaurant with a few other servants to clean up. Han Dada'er, Bai Chongwei, and Zhang Biao went directly to the third floor and quietly looked for clues in the study.
The items in the study were still neatly arranged, and the three of them searched inside and out, but except for some books and notes, they didn't find any special clues worth noting, mainly because they didn't know what they were looking for.
Zhang Biao has been collecting clues outside according to what Han Daring said, so he has not experienced the Han family's mystery case, and he doesn't know what Han Daring is looking for.
Bai Chongwei was also confused, and asked Han Daring, what would that thing look like? What kind of material is it? But Han Daring didn't know what he was looking for, so he could only say that the things he thought were suspicious were all placed on the ground in the study.
As a result, after a while, there were a lot of things piled up in the middle of the study, including antiques and utensils, as well as calligraphy and painting books, but Han Dada'er rummaged through it, but he didn't find anything, but in a stack of papers, he found the will drafted by Old Man Meng and Lawyer Zhou.
In the will, most of the property was indeed left to Meng Huaili and Meng Huaixin, and there was a suicide note in addition to the inheritance.
The envelope of the suicide note has been opened, obviously the ancestor in the yellow robe found the suicide note, and has read it, presumably there is nothing he is looking for in it, otherwise he must have left the Meng family long ago after he succeeded.
Since it was Old Man Meng's suicide note, it was inconvenient for Han Dadaer and the three of them to snoop on, so they handed Zhang Biao to Meng Huairen with the will.
At this time, Han Da'er suddenly thought of whether the Yellow Robe Ancestor would be wrong!
According to Old Man Meng's collection of books and research notes, he should be a scholar who studies literature and history, although he will also be somewhat interested in some wild history legends, but he should not be as obsessed as Sanyangjiao. Therefore, even if Old Man Meng has some clues about the Yuanqiao Immortal Mirror in his hands, it should only be regarded as a legend, and he will not deliberately collect it.
It was the old ancestor of the yellow robe who became the master, and he thought that these clues were very important, so they must have been properly collected by Old Man Meng. In fact, Old Man Meng didn't hide it at all, but put it on the surface.
At this time, Han Daring sat on the chair in front of Old Man Meng's desk, the things on this table should be the position placed by Old Man Meng before his death, the ancestor in the yellow robe was afraid of arousing the suspicion of the Meng family, everything had not been moved, even after rummaging for clues, it would be put back in place.
He put his hands on the table, and according to the placement of the four treasures and books and utensils in the study, he speculated to simulate the actions of Old Man Meng before his death. Bai Chongwei didn't know what he was going to do, so he could only stand aside and watch quietly.
Han Daring noticed that there was a stack of letter paper on his left, and there were two notebooks on the letterhead. The notebook is relatively old, and at first glance, it looks like it has been sharpened by years of use, the skin is rough, and the pages are yellow. Just flip through the notes.
The notes are densely packed with a lot of old man Meng's research experience, including his views on the late Yuan Dynasty, the form of war and the pattern of the world, as well as the analysis of some doubtful cases in the Hongwu period in the early Ming Dynasty, as well as the conjectures of the three major mystery cases in the court in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, and the relevant research on some Ming Dynasty ministers and historical events at that time.
One of the pages does involve some legends and wild histories, but there are very few descriptions of Yao Guangxiao and the so-called Endless Kingdom and the Nine Shadows Abacus City, and it is not as much as the content of the "Jinhai Strange Chronicles" mentioned by Lan Banchi.
When he looked back at the page, he stumbled upon a number written crookedly in the notebook, which were written in Chinese characters, not Arabic numerals.
The numbers seemed meaningless, so they were scribbled on the back of a page, copied haphazardly. Some of the numbers are crooked to the left, some are slanted to the right, and some are written backwards, which feels like they were copied by hand.
In the eyes of others, it is like remembering something temporarily, or something important in a book, or a time to be an evil god, so I temporarily found a place to record it. Won't attract anyone's attention at all.
But Han Daring felt that maybe these numbers were what the Yellow Robe Ancestor was looking for, maybe he had seen it inadvertently, but he ignored it. And these numbers are very likely to be, some kind of clue related to the clue of the Immortal Mirror of the Endless Country-password!
