Lin Jiu did not take out the file immediately, but glared at William Lu fiercely.

William Lu understood instantly, put his hands behind his back and pretended to check the files as well, then looked towards other file racks.

Lin Jiu took out the file book and looked at the three words "Tang Shiwen" on the page, his hands shaking constantly.

She was breathing heavily, nervous and excited.

This is the file of my mother when she was young. Although there is no dust on it, it has gone through more than twenty years.

Lin Jiu closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Then, I mustered up the courage to open the first page.

William Lu pretended to look for something on the file shelf next to him, and secretly looked back at Lin Jiu. He saw her holding the file book, as if frozen in time.

Maybe she was taking it too seriously.

Suddenly, he saw Lin Jiu breathing heavily and flipping through files quickly. He looked a little abnormal, even... crazy.

what happened?

William Lu quickly ran to Lin Jiu and saw that the files in her hands were all blank papers.

"What's going on? How could the file be blank?"

William Lu snatched the file and flipped through it from beginning to end. It was indeed a blank sheet of paper.

Lin Jiu covered her face with her hands. The sudden change in her emotions from excitement to disappointment made her almost on the verge of collapse.

William Lu carefully flipped through every page of the file. "Although it's blank, the paper looks very new. It must have been made recently. However, these ancient files can only be viewed by those with the highest authority. Who exactly replaced the files?"

At this time, Lin Jiu put down her hands that were covering her face. She had recovered from her emotional breakdown.

She looked at William Lu, and the two said the word together.

"Famous painting stolen."

Yes, it’s what the security captain just said about the famous painting being stolen and the need to find a scapegoat.

Those people were not stealing famous paintings at all. Their purpose was to paralyze the electronic security system of the archives and take away Tang Shiwen's files.

The theft of famous paintings was just a cover-up for their purpose of exchanging archive files.

William Lu looked at the cover of the file and asked, "Who exactly replaced the file? Who is Tang Shiwen?"

Lin Jiuyi snatched the file back.

William Lu clicked his tongue twice, folded his arms and looked at Lin Jiu, “Don’t tell me she is your mother.”

"How do you know?" Lin Jiu stared at Lu William warily.

"I'm such a smart person, nothing can escape my control. I'm a professor at the Imperial Capital Academy of Fine Arts, and my mother-in-law is a student at the Imperial Capital Academy of Fine Arts. My fiancée, do you think we're destined to be together?"

Lin Jiu carefully observed every detail of the file. He was too lazy to look at William Lu and chatted with him casually, "You are the only one who teaches a professor. What courses do you teach?"

William Lu raised his chin proudly, “Criminal psychology.”

"What? There's criminal psychology in the Academy of Fine Arts? Are you sure you're not kidding?"

"Fiancée, I'm a highly paid professor at the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts, so I guarantee I can solve the case involving the dossier today."

Northwest Border

The western part of Xia State is surrounded by mountains and deserts, especially the southern part of the border, which is full of towering snow-capped mountains.

A helicopter circled over the desert and began to descend when it flew over a temple.

Under the temple is the headquarters of the Dark Night Group, which is like an underground castle.

The entrance to the headquarters is located at the side door of the temple.

After Xiao Ling left Bincheng, he stayed at the headquarters.

The helicopter landed at the side door of the temple. A man wearing a chemical protective suit was taken off the helicopter and taken to a closed space opposite Xiao Ling's office.

Because this person had been exposed to radiation, Xiao Ling could only meet him through a transparent radiation-proof wall.

Xiao Ling was delighted by this man's arrival. He tapped his fingers on the desk and picked up the phone. "Mr. Qiu, you came from Hainan to the Northwest. What good news do you want to bring me?"
