Summary of the previous chapter: Tian Ergen handed Ma Xiaoquan the case reconstruction file left by the former Jinyiwei commander. In the last part of the file, Ma Xiaoquan saw symbols that should not exist in this era. Ma Xiaoquan was ecstatic because these symbols,
He can understand it, but it takes time to file it...
Two more days passed, and in the evening of the next day, Ma Xiaoquan finally sorted and filed all the symbols.
Following the symbols, Ma Xiaoquan wrote a text. After the ink on the paper dried, Ma Xiaoquan picked up the result of his hard work, nodded with satisfaction, and read in a low voice.
"I'm Mo Dao. I don't know who is reading this dossier now. If you can decipher all the symbols I wrote, it proves that you are very powerful. But it doesn't matter. I think even if you can decipher it, it will pass.
I won’t worry about it for a long time..."
After reading this, Ma Xiaoquan paused and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Sure enough, it was left by Mo Dao, but he didn't expect that I, Ma Xiaoquan, would recognize these symbols, huh."
"Ma Zhi's death stemmed from the fact that he discovered an ulterior fact. Someone had warned him, but he remained unmoved until he got angry. This incident was not actually a big deal, but it had already touched the world.
It has touched the interests of the master... There is a place in Ningyuan..."
After reading this, Ma Xiaoquan paused again and said in surprise: "Master? Mo Dao's master? Isn't that Zhao Yuntai? Ningyuan? A place? Isn't this the mysterious place that my Ma family has been secretly guarding?
Well, it turns out that that mysterious place is actually owned by Ma Zhixian."
Ma Xiaoquan continued reading: "This place leads to another place. No one knows what it is specifically. Ma Zhi may have been there, or he may have met the owner, or maybe he already knew that because of
He disobeyed his master and was about to be killed, but he didn't seem to back down. In fact, on the day Ma Zhi died, someone found a suicide note in the middle of his shoe. I have no idea what the suicide note was.
.”
"Furthermore, Ma Zhi's death also involves an object. This object is a small square box. I have never seen what it looks like, but I do know that the object is called an underground detector.
"
Ma Xiaoquan patted his head: "Underground detector? It turned out to be an underground detector? This guy gave me the pattern of the underground detector earlier. It seems that he knows a lot. Alas, it's a pity that he suddenly disappeared
Otherwise, you must ask him carefully."
Ma Xiaoquan temporarily put down the paper in his hand and murmured: "Judging from the words Mo Dao left, he probably wrote these words before he met me. I first met him in prison a few years ago.
When Mo Dao met, he said that he was Zhao Yuntai's servant, but the two hadn't seen each other for more than ten years. Judging from this, Mo Dao's sudden disappearance was probably because Zhao Yuntai had appeared, so
...The mysterious place where Ma Zhi appeared in Ningyuan happens to be the place where my Ma family secretly guards. Could it be that... that mysterious place can... lead to another place?
One place? Another place that Mo Dao once mentioned...the equal country that Zhao Yuntai wants to establish? Well...in this case, the underground detector should be the cause of Ma Zhi's death.
The final cause of death was the victim."
Having said this, Ma Xiaoquan took out the underground detector that he had hidden for a long time from the secret compartment of the study.
"I can completely open this thing, but at first I didn't know where it could be used... Now... this underground detector may be the key to deciphering the mysterious place."
After that, Ma Xiaoquan quickly turned over the underground detector in his hands with both hands. The underground detector kept turning over in his hands. Ma Xiaoquan seemed to be playing with a Rubik's Cube without modules, tapping with his fingers.
At the same time, he kept rotating the underground detector in his hand.
Finally, the underground detector made a few slight clicks, and then, the square box, which was originally the size of a handful, was folded by Ma Xiaoquan, reducing its size to one-fifth of its previous size.
Ma Xiaoquan put the underground detector away and kept it close to his body, then continued to pick up the paper on the desk and read it.
"My master once owned an underground detector, but for some inexplicable reason, he gave the underground detector to someone else, but that person was so useless that he lost the detector. The owner was angry for a long time.
.....If the master is not too busy, I'm afraid..."
Ma Xiaoquan rubbed his temples, paused, and murmured an analysis: "So, the underground detector was indeed owned by Zhao Yuntai in the first place. It's no wonder that he is the second entity to travel through time implanted with the Heart of Time after Huang Jingming.
Or, when he came, he was carrying an underground detector, well, he must have lost it later."
Ma Xiaoquan shook his head and continued reading: "Ma Zhi's death is indeed beyond my expectation. I can't see the master, nor can I see the master, let alone know the master's thoughts. I think, Ma Zhi
He died early. If the master cherishes talents like this, he must also feel it is a pity..."
After reading the compiled text, I have reached the end. Although Ma Xiaoquan is still not finished, he feels that it is possible to reveal the answer to the mystery soon. Unfortunately, Mo Dao did not continue writing.
Ma Xiaoquan put down the paper in his hand, shook his head and said: "I guess Mo Dao has no clue when he writes this. Well, but this is enough. I think Ma Zhi's death should have something to do with Zhao Yuntai, but...
...Where is Zhao Yuntai? I think he is not dead, but where is he?"
Ma Xiaoquan picked up the piece of paper again, held it in front of the candle, and burned it. Then, he burned all the drafts one by one with fire, making the study smell like smoke.
Ma Xiaoquan opened the door and walked out of the study.
The door to the study room was not closed, and as soon as Ma Xiaoquan left, Fang Yun sneaked into the study room with his back feet.
"Pfft" Fang Yun frowned and murmured, "What are you burning, sir? There are two unburned ones here?" As he said that, Fang Yun quickly reached out and took out the two unburned ones.
The fire on the draft was extinguished, and then he carefully shook the half-and-half draft of the two pages and held it in front of his eyes.
"This is... hmm? Underground detector? This... I seem to have seen adults take something, also called an underground detector... Could it be that...
