Chapter 1166 Where is the book?
Time passed quickly, they were only delayed for a short while and it was already twelve o'clock.
Manshu was yawning in the car and didn't say much.
He fell asleep with his head leaning on the seat.
Only when they reached the gate of the community did Yan Zhan wake the man up.
Manshu woke up in a daze and found that his schoolbag had been left in the small western-style building.
"Uncle San, I'm afraid we have to go back."
Yan Zhan frowned when he saw her yawning.
"I'll go back and get it and send it to your school tomorrow morning?"
It’s too late now. Going back there will take another half an hour.
"Why don't we go together? It's just right. I see there are still a lot of things in the small western-style building that the crew can't use. I can put them away."
Manshu said this because she had always been thinking about the things in the small western-style building.
After renting it out, I felt a little guilty.
"Okay." Yan Zhan knew he couldn't persuade her, so he took the person back.
The two returned to the small western-style building again. The whole old city was quiet, with only the occasional cry of a wild cat being heard.
After Manshu went in, he took his schoolbag and didn't leave in a hurry.
She subconsciously pushed open the door of the study.
The owner of this house used to be a professor and had a large collection of books in his study.
The books were heavy and difficult to move, so after the house was sold to Manshu, the family said they no longer wanted the books and only hoped that Manshu would keep them well.
It is said that many of those books are rare copies in the old man's collection. Now that Manshu has taken over the house, he can give the books to the right people.
Manshu naturally would not refuse something like a book.
Some valuable items still have to be put away to prevent the crew members from wasting them without knowing the importance of them.
Yan Zhan said that there was no way he would let Manshu sort things out alone, so he accompanied her into the study.
The study is spacious and bright, and is the room with the best lighting on the entire second floor except for the master bedroom.
The bookshelves inside are all made of mahogany, and there is also a row of antique shelves.
Judging from the marks of dust on them, it seems that these shelves were once filled with things.
Manshu didn't even bother to look at the row of antique shelves and just turned to look at the books.
The more Mansu read these books, the more he felt strange.
They are all "red" books, which were must-haves in every household in that era.
There are very few famous works from ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad. After all, that special era did not allow the existence of such books that mislead people's thoughts.
However, when Manshu recalled what the person who sold the house told the original owner, he felt something was not right.
Didn’t you say that you have collected many rare books?
The books on display are all commonly used books, and there are even dictionaries. There is no so-called unique copy at all.
Could it be that it was stolen by someone?
But the study door was locked, and there was no sign that the lock had been tampered with.
Just now when she was about to come in, it was Yan Zhan who broke the door lock.
When I came in, there was a lot of dust in the room, and no signs that it had been touched by anyone.
If someone took the things away in advance, this is absolutely impossible.
Manshu flipped through a few books, but found no special information in them.
Manshu told Yan Zhan about his doubts.
Yan Zhan raised his eyebrows: "Maybe, the book is still at home, but it's not on the surface."
Yan Zhan doesn’t understand that era, but Mr. Zhu does.
He also said that the wealthy families of that era all had some means of hiding things.
If your home is smashed, the truly valuable things will not be easily found.
Manshu's head hurt after hearing his words.
If not here, where is it?
