C486 Strange Book Disorientated(part I)

The difference between the [Eight-word Abacus] technique and the [Twelve-word Abacus] technique was that the [Eight-word Abacus] technique could take into account more categories that the [Eight-word Abacus] technique could not involve. The information obtained was also much more detailed. Not only that, but at this moment, Lin Bai was holding a freakish manual, the 'one with the eight trigrams', in his hands. It was like adding wings to a tiger in his calculations!

Shen Lingfeng and Chen Baian only saw the rumours on the ground, while Lin Bai also added the elemental energy fluctuations he felt from the vault of the Royal Palace. Although the elemental energy fluctuations were extremely weak and somewhat chaotic due to time, Lin Bai was still able to see some clues!

"Every generation is stronger than the last. It seems like even if the old me wants to disobey, I can't! " Chen Baian smiled wryly as he looked at Lin Bai, who was confidently explaining everything that had happened in the hexagrams to him. However, his eyes were filled with the sense of comfort of old age.

After experiencing the chaos that occurred not long after the founding of the country, the number of inheritances in the world gradually decreased. On the other hand, the number of people who tried to play tricks on the young generation is increasing. Now that there's a gentleman like Shen Lingfeng in charge of the younger generation, coupled with Lin Bai's extraordinary supervision of the technique, it shouldn't be too late!

"Moreover, from the information gathered by the Six Magical Beasts, this person is probably a traitor from the Palace Museum, located in the middle southern part of Yan Jing city! Brother Shen has also seen it before. There are hundreds of secret keys on that gate, so even if we were to calculate it to be an exceptional person, it would not be easy to obtain. There are no traitors around here, so it will definitely not be easy to solve it! " Lin Bai kept the copper coin on the floor and said slowly.

Shen Lingfeng nodded his head, and after a moment of silence, he looked at Chen Bai and said gently, "Elder Chen, this matter should not be delayed. Lin Bai and I will first go to the curator of the Xiao family to inquire about who lives in the southern part of the Yan Jing city. "You old man, help us think about who in the world would have the motivation to do such a thing!"

"Go! A good man should be full of vigor and passion. He should do whatever he had to do! We old guys will definitely help you guys! " Chen Baian laughed loudly, waved his hand and said.

Lin Bai and Shen Lingfeng bid farewell with a smile to Chen Bai and then drove back to the Palace Museum. With the previous experience, the young soldiers guarding the gate didn't stop them this time. They only asked a few questions and then let them in.

Upon entering the main hall, Lin Bai felt that the atmosphere was somewhat heavy. He looked to the side and saw that there was an additional middle-aged man with a high rank in the hall. He did not say anything and was listening to the reports from the forensic experts.

All of the forensic experts came to the same conclusion. It was just that the disappearance of the "Back Push Map" was definitely not something that a human could do. Otherwise, there wouldn't even be a shadow of a soul to be seen on the surveillance tape. There was even a forensic expert who directly asserted that this was a supernatural event, possibly caused by the ghost in the Forbidden Palace.

Listening to the reports from the forensic experts, the middle-aged man's frown deepened. It was at this moment that Lin Bai heard the supernatural conclusion that the forensic expert came to. He couldn't help but laugh out loud. The middle-aged man raised his head upon hearing this and swept his gaze over the two of them. A hint of displeasure appeared on his face as he sternly asked Xiao Xingshu, "Principal Xiao, who are these two?"

"Young Master Lin, didn't you and Brother Shen go visit Elder Chen? Why did you come back? Did you find some clues?" When Xiao Xingshu heard this, he raised his head in shock. When he saw that it was Lin Bai and Shen Lingfeng, he immediately smiled and hurriedly said.

When the middle-aged man saw Xiao Xingshu's expression, he became even more displeased and said in a stern voice, "Your Palace Museum just casually let people into this place. It's not rare for you to lose everything inside!"

"Young Master Lin, Brother Shen, this is Deputy Minister Ye Yang from the Police Department. He is the Chief of the Special Task Force assigned by the Police Department to handle the case of the Palace's theft!" Xiao Xingshu's face immediately revealed a hint of awkwardness, he was afraid that the three of them would clash, so he hurriedly explained, "Department Head Ye, this is Shen Lingfeng and this is Lin Bai. They are the specially hired experts from our old palace!"

Shen Lingfeng and Lin Bai both had very special identities. Not only did they have connections with the rich and powerful families in Beijing, there were even some things that could not be known by commoners. It was fortunate that Xiao Xingshu had spent so many years recruiting and renovating at the Palace Museum, so he had already mastered the art of social networking. If it had been any other scholar, he would have exposed himself at that time.

"The matter of the Palace Museum is the responsibility of our department. We don't need the specialist you have hired. From the looks of these two, I think it would be best to investigate their background. Ye Yang coldly glanced at the two of them and spoke indifferently, completely ignoring Xiao Xingshu's good offices.

Hearing this, Xiao Xingshu's expression became even more awkward. No matter which one of these three it was, they were not people he could afford to offend. Although he also holds a position in the National Texts Bureau, with his ability as a clear water yamen, how can he be compared with a vice minister like Ye Yang who holds the authority to investigate criminal investigations!?

Shen Lingfeng, on the other hand, was the highest ranking officer in the country's special forces department. Although he was only a director, but in terms of power and ability to act, even the majority of the ministers in the special forces department couldn't compare to him. As for someone like Lin Bai, whose roots were in the ascendant, who came from a powerful family, and was even favored by that senior, there was no need to mention him!

"We don't have anything to do with the police department. We only came here to ask Dean Xiao about some matters. After we're done, we'll leave." Shen Lingfeng spoke to Ye Yang in a neither humble nor arrogant manner and then said to Xiao Xingshu beside him, "Principal Xiao, can I have a word with you?"

"Stop!" Let's see who dares to leave this room today! Now investigate these two people! I think those two are the suspects in this case. Who knows? Ye Yang didn't give any face to Shen Lingfeng. Waving his hand, he spoke to the policemen on duty outside the house in a low voice.

Seeing the police take out the handcuffs, Xiao Xingshu started to sweat profusely. No matter what, he was still a scholar. Since ancient times, when Elementary Scholars met with soldiers, there was no reason to explain their actions, so he could not be blamed.

"Such authority! He didn't investigate nor did he ask and just went up to arrest him! Department Head Ye, you really did a good job as an official! " Xiao Xingshu did not dare to say anything. Shen Lingfeng could not say a word, but Lin Bai did not take it. He mocked Ye Yang with a smile on his face.

Hearing Lin Bai's words, Ye Yang's face turned green and white. The malicious aura in his expression grew even stronger as he snapped, "What are you still standing there for? Arrest them!"

"What is this? After not seeing you for so long, Department Head Ye, you are still as hot-tempered as ever! " Just as the weapons were drawn in the house, an indifferent voice came from outside. The sound of hurried footsteps could be heard and Cao Jianzhou, with a face full of smiles, pushed open the door and walked into the hall.

After seeing Cao Jianzhou, the malicious look on Ye Yang's face lessened a little. With a smile, he extended his hand towards Cao Jianzhou and said loudly, "Chief Cao, what wind blew you here? Please tell the Chief that our Police Department will find out as soon as possible about the theft of the Palace Museum! "

The smile on Cao Jianzhou's face was still as deep as ever. Just when Ye Yang's hand was about to reach out in front of him, he suddenly turned around with a smile and extended his hand towards Lin Bai, who was standing behind him. This miscalculation caused Ye Yang's hand to freeze in midair. He didn't know if he should retract it or continue to stretch out his hand.

"Lin Bai, the chief asked me to pass you another message." Don't worry about it, do what you can. I'll help you take responsibility for everything! Also, after you go back tonight, inform Old Master Liu that Zhong Hai will hold a tea party tomorrow night at 8 o'clock. I hope that he and Old Master He can attend on time. " Cao Jianzhou shook Lin Bai's hand with a smile, his eyes revealed a deep smile.

As soon as Cao Jianzhou finished speaking, Ye Yang's face turned deathly white. At this moment, he finally understood why he felt somewhat familiar when he heard the name Lin Bai. So it was the Liu Family's grandson, the He Family's son-in-law. But since when did he become the head's nephew?!

"Brother Cao, you can rest assured that I will definitely take care of this matter." Brother Cao, you can rest assured that I will definitely take care of this matter. Cao Jianzhou had already given him face, so how could Lin Bai not accept it?

Cao Jianzhou nodded and smiled at Xiao Xingshu, who was standing blankly by the side. "Principal Xiao, didn't Lin Bai come looking for you for a matter? Chief Shen, the three of you go outside and discuss it in detail. I want to talk with Department Head Ye and Department Head Ye."

Hearing that there were steps down, Xiao Xingshu hurriedly wiped the sweat off his forehead and brought Lin Bai and Shen Lingfeng out of the house.

"When did Cao Jianzhou become chairman?" Wasn't he on special duty at the Imperial Court before? " After walking out of the door, Lin Bai looked at Shen Lingfeng, who was standing beside him, with some suspicion. This Cao Jianzhou had helped him out quite a bit, so it was time for him to pay more attention.

Hearing this, Xiao Xingshu hurriedly said, "After last month's meeting, Young Master Cao was promoted to the Central Office. Moreover, he is the head's secretary, so everyone calls him Director Cao!"

"Government officials are indeed blessed!" Lin Bai nodded his head. After a moment of silence, he smilingly looked at Xiao Xingshu and asked in a deep voice, "Principal Xiao, is there anyone from your Palace Museum who lives in the southern part of Yan Jing city?"
