"This disappearance case is really strange." Gao Zhan pointed to the praying mantis outside the barrier: "Mr. Bai, do I still have time to tell Li'er about this case?" ”

Bai Ze nodded, "It's okay, I can't bite this enchantment for a while." ”

"What if it bites off after a while?" Gao Zhan asked mischievously.

Bai Ze stretched out his hand, and a lightsaber loomed: "Kill!" ”

"Mr. Bai is mighty, then I will tell Li'er about the disappearance of the third son of the Xu family with peace of mind." Gao Zhan rubbed his hands and motioned for Lord Xin and a group of government officials and brothers to relax, "In other words, twenty years ago, the Xu family was also one of the largest families in our Huaxi Town, but since the third son of Xu disappeared for no reason, the Xu family has been unlucky for three consecutive times, and it was defeated in a few years." Today's Xu family, except for the doorman Uncle Xu, there is no one. ”

In Gao Zhan's narration, Bai Li hears a rather bizarre disappearance.

Twenty years ago, the Xu family, as Gao Zhan said, was still one of the largest families in Huaxi Town. Master Xu married his wife Lan, and after marriage, he had three sons and one daughter.

The eldest son, Xu Tian, not only looks like Master Xu, but also inherited Master Xu's extraordinary business talent, and has followed Master Xu out to run business since he was thirteen years old. Because he is the son-in-law and the person who is the best at business in the Xu family, whether it is in the eyes of the Xu family or in the eyes of these townspeople in Huaxi Town, Xu Tian is undoubtedly the best heir of the Xu family.

The second son, Xu Hu, as his name suggests, was born very strong, and was sent to the mountains by Master Xu to practice martial arts because he liked to fight since he was a child. He was more than three years old when he left, and he was already a sixteen-year-old boy when he returned.

Xu Hu is not as alert as his brother Xu Tian, and coupled with his martial arts practice, he has some well-developed limbs and a simple mind. Although Xu Hu is not good at business, he has a chivalrous heart, if it weren't for Master Xu's dislike of not wanting his son to enter the public gate, then the former Xu Hu is now Gao Zhan's predecessor, and he is also a member of the Huaxi Town County Ya Hunting Express.

Master Xu's youngest son, Xu Xuan, the third son of the Xu family, is the one with the highest reading talent and the most high hopes in the Xu family. Xu Xuan, unlike his two elder brothers, was born very handsome, and his appearance characteristics were more like his mother Lan. Although Xu Xuan was as smart as his eldest brother Xu Tian, he had no interest in business. He is also a wizard of martial arts, he has also practiced martial arts with his second brother Xu Hu's master, and his second brother can only learn the moves and routines in a year, he can learn in just a few days. But Xu Xuanzhi is not here, he only practices martial arts to strengthen his body, but he has no interest in becoming a martial arts master.

After studying in the mountains for four or five years, he left his master and returned to Huaxi Town, and then devoted himself to studying to prepare for the imperial examination of the imperial court.

When he was fourteen years old, Xu Xuan became a sensation because of an article and was valued by the prefect at that time, Lord Liu. Lord Liu wanted to marry his daughter to him, but Xu Xuan politely declined, on the grounds that he already had a crush.

At the age of sixteen, Xu Xuan married his cousin Wanying, and achieved a moving story of talent in Huaxi Town. But three months later, Xu Xuan, a talented man in Huaxi Town, disappeared for no reason.

Those who came to report the case were Xu Xuan's wife Wanying and Xu Xuan's second brother Xu Hu. According to the records of the county government, the two arrived at the government office at the time of the war. At that time, it was raining outside, and Xu Xuan's lady Wanying was wearing an extremely ordinary home clothes, which should be an emergency, and she didn't have time to change into more decent outing clothes. Xu Hu's dress was exactly the same as usual. Xu Hu held a paper oil umbrella with a damaged umbrella surface in his hand, and the green pine pattern was painted on the umbrella surface, and the missing place happened to be the place where the green pine was drawn, so it was seen at a glance, and he felt that it was a little uncomfortable to hold the umbrella.

Although Xu Hu held an umbrella in his hand, the clothes on his body were almost soaked. Wanying's condition was slightly better, but it was not much better, and when the two entered the mansion, their bodies were still falling into the water. Because Wanying is a woman, the county magistrate specially asked his wife to take her to the inner room to change her clothes first, and then asked about the other reports of the case.

According to the description of Wanying and her second brother Xu Hu, Xu Xuan went out after dinner, and the hour was unitary time. According to Xu Xuan's wife Wanying's description, the couple went to the study after dinner. Xu Xuan always reads before going to bed every day, and Wanying, as a lady, adds fragrance to her red sleeves and accompanies her from time to time. That night, unlike anything special.

When the two arrived at the study, Xu Xuan sat down at the table, and was about to take the book, but when he saw his wife changing into a new set of clothes, he felt very beautiful and had the idea of helping Wanying paint. took a pen to grind, but found that the grinding was gone, so Xu Xuan got up and said that he wanted to buy ink from the nearby Han study.

This Han study Bai Li also knows, and it is still open, but the shopkeeper has been replaced by the third generation. The business in this store can't be said to be prosperous, but it's not bad, and the people who come and go are all old customers, and they all go to their home's ink.

Xu Xuan, like most of the scholars in the town, used pen, ink, paper, and inkstone every day, especially this ink, was bought in the Han study. Because the hour was still early, and Xu Xuan often went in and out of the Han study, Wanying didn't think much about it, and took an umbrella for her husband and saw him out.

Because Xu Xuan has practiced martial arts for a few years, and there has never been any vicious cases in Huaxi Town, and this Han study is near Xu's house, Xu Xuan does not take a small servant in and out every day.

That day, as usual, Xu Xuan went out alone with an umbrella, and when he went out, he deliberately turned around and asked Wanying if she wanted to help her bring back Su Ri's favorite pastries. Because it was raining outside, Wanying pushed it and said no, and asked Xu Xuan to go early and return early.

When Xu Xuan went out, he bumped into a little guy named Ali at home. The little maid Ali also proved that what the third young lady Wanying said was true.

Xu Xuan usually goes out, and he will stay outside because of some things, but no matter how much he stays, he will come back before dark. But this time, until it was completely dark, the lights were lit in the house, and Xu Xuan was nowhere to be seen. Wanying had already changed her clothes, thinking that when her husband came back, it would be time to go to bed. But the left and right can't wait for people, but they always feel that something is going to happen.

She summoned the maid beside her and asked her to take an umbrella to run the Han study to see if the third prince was in it, and why was it delayed. The maid's feet were very fast, and she came back in less than a cup of tea. But what the maid said was that she hadn't seen the third son, and asked the old shopkeeper of Han Shuzhai, and the old shopkeeper also said that she hadn't seen the third son go to buy ink tonight.

Xu Xuan obviously went out to buy ink, and said very clearly, the place he was going to was Han Shuzhai, but the old shopkeeper said that he had never seen Xu Xuan, was the old shopkeeper lying, or did Xu Xuan really not go? In a hurry, Wanying found Master Xu and told Mrs. Xu about her husband, and Master Xu found his second son, that is, Xu Hu, and asked him to take someone out to find his younger brother.

Xu Xuan didn't find it, but the family of the Xu Mansion found the umbrella Xu Xuan was holding when he left in a small alley not far from Han Shuzhai.
