The modern me and the Republic of China her

Chapter 25 Clues
Needless to say, after a brief greeting, Zhang Xiaofa stretched out his hand frankly, and tightly held the warm hand of the second brother.

Qi Jiang couldn't believe that the weak and sick third brother in his memory appeared in a bookstore he accidentally stepped into.

The boy in front of him is not only much taller than before, but also exudes a refined temperament from top to bottom.

He has a tall and straight figure, and his eyebrows and eyes have the same handsomeness and grandeur as the second wife.

After only a short period of time, the little boy grew so tall that even Zhu Juanjuan didn't recognize him.

Wearing glasses, he is gentle and calm, with a scholarly aura, and he is completely different from the ignorant third young master.

Seeing the two of them were so surprised that they couldn't speak for a long time, the boy reluctantly thought of two movies: "Detective Conan" and "You Who Came from the Star".

Kudo Shinichi is a reasoning genius, and occasionally he can change back to his original form from elementary school students;
Do Min Joon has super powers, he can travel in any time and space, and come out to save Cheon Song Yi at any time.

It's a pity that he has nothing to do with the skills of these two people.I had to keep a low profile first.

"Second Brother, Ms. Zhu, hurry up and get down to business, first find the owner of the bookstore."

As soon as the words fell, he first walked to a fellow:
"I'm looking for your boss, please call him for me."

This fellow was not the one who received him and Zhu Juanjuan last time, standing blankly.

The other, who was also a stranger, was sitting and writing on the register.

"My lord, the boss doesn't see any guests right now."

The guy looked distressed, as if he wanted to hide something, grabbed a cup of tea and drank it without making a sound.

"An accident happened in your store, did someone come and cause damage?"

That night when I came to the bookstore with my puppy, the store was empty.

Later, the puppy dug out the little red embroidered bag from under a loose board on the ground.

And what was in the bag was exactly the same necklace that Ah Nan stuffed in his pocket before crossing over...

On the bookshelf in front of him, there was a newspaper that had been torn in half and put together again.

He held it in his hand, and quickly glanced at a line of headlines: "Dongyu Bookstore at Xijiekou was robbed at night, and the clerk disappeared."

"My lord, all the former clerks of our shop are gone. The newspaper clearly stated," the clerk said in a low voice, "A few important books, together with a valuable item sent by a friend of the boss, are missing."

Could that necklace be what the man called a valuable?

But what happened to those few books?

He remembered the scene of the gray-clothed guests grabbing the books that night, and it seemed that he was getting closer and closer to the clue.

"Is it convenient for you to let the boss meet with us?"

Qi Jiang pulled Zhu Juanjuan over, "Maybe we can help."

The clerk shook his head, "The boss doesn't want to see reporters and police and the like anymore, he can't be bothered these days."

Zhu Juanjuan asked curiously:
"Why don't you close the store for a while, or reopen it in another place, and change the name of the store?"

"The boss's good friend asked him to keep a valuable item last year, saying that he would pick it up after the situation stabilized."

Seeing that they really wanted to help, the guy gave some information.

"The books in the store that are only for browsing are gifts from the old man, and many of them are still in the collection of the Qing Dynasty minister's family."

"After May of this year, the old man may have encountered an accident and lost contact with the boss. The boss is looking forward to the day when someone will come to pick up the item. He has not changed the name or location of the bookstore, otherwise he will not be able to find it."

"So, the people who robbed the bookstore also came for that item?"

Qi Jiang looked around and found the loose board on the ground.

He bent down and gently opened it, and there was a newly dug small hole under the wooden plank, not deep, obviously someone put something there temporarily.

Xiaofa was afraid that he might make a mistake, so he adjusted his glasses and listened silently.

At the beginning of that day, I had hallucinations and heard a voice exactly like Ah Nan's, so I chased all the way out of the school.

Lost in various ways, finally met a stray puppy, saw a bookstore, and found a necklace by accident...

It is very likely that when the robbery happened, someone temporarily put it in to protect the necklace...

He remembered that the bookstore was empty that night, and there were no obvious signs of fighting.

Could it be that the guys were also drugged and then taken away to silence them...?
It would be great if the phone here could travel through time, call the lawyer dad.

The expert's advice can often hit the nail on the head, and he, the second brother, and Ms. Zhu together may not be worth an experienced old lawyer.

"Thank you for your kindness," said the clerk, handing over a book, "which has a hole hollowed out in the center, where the missing item was delivered."

Qijiang grabbed a magnifying glass on the counter, carefully turned the book over, leaned close to Xiaofa's ear and said softly:

"Third brother, this book looks like the book cover on the table in your room!"

He trembled, and his whole body was like a bucket of ice water poured on him in the dog days:
Looking forward to clues every day, and now this clue means that he has been involved in the Gu mansion again...

"Second brother, do you want me to go back?"

He smiled softly, "The third wife was rolling all over the ground last time, I'm afraid she will chop me up."

"Are you safe outside?"

Qijiang grabbed his hand seriously, "It's too easy for the third wife to put you to death! Her natal family has power in the officialdom and the underworld, and my father was forced to marry her at that time."

He patted Qijiang's shoulder with the other hand:

"Second brother, I'm fine outside, at least I'm safe now. I'm doing well."

Qi Jiang didn't believe it:

"Third brother, where do you live? Are you taken in by kind people?"

There was pride in his tone: "Second brother, I have already supported myself."

For the time being, I don't plan to talk about my work and residence at the school. I must protect the pure land in my heart.

He took the book from his second brother, "Lend it to me first, and contact me another day. There will be a date later."

Qi Jiang still wanted to persuade him to stay, but Zhu Juanjuan gently grabbed his sleeve, "It's up to Qi Lan to decide, he has the ability to judge and analyze."

He rolled up the book and put it in his pocket, and took a long way first to prevent anyone from following him.

Passing by the hospital run by the Germans, he couldn't help but look up to the emergency room on the second floor of the clinic—

Last night, he sent her all the way here, her head was leaning against his chest, obediently like a sleeping kitten...

Will she wake up now?
Why did her frown and smile domineeringly enter his heart from the night we first met? Is this falling into the rhythm of a love...

He doesn't know the answer.

Before time travel, he had never even held a girl's hand.

At that time, he insisted on the principle of preferring lack to abuse, and even the most beautiful girls declined;
Now, why is my view on marriage and love shaken?

Lin Mi is only 15 years old and still in school. When he is sober, he often calls himself an asshole secretly.How can you have such an idea?

In the flower shop next to the hospital, a large row of flowers at the entrance looks particularly beautiful in the golden sunset.

He couldn't help but walked over and bought a large bouquet of gardenias, which were rarely seen in August.

The boy shyly carried flowers into the hospital...
