Chapter 728 I Won't Fall for It

The fat man looked up at the 4-story dark red building, and suddenly felt that he was facing a huge beast crawling on the ground. Reading

The other party had opened his mouth, waiting for him and the doctor to fall into the trap.

"Let's go." Jiang Cheng walked into the door first.

It should be a structural problem. The lighting on the first floor of the library is relatively poor. Although there is a light on the top of the head, it still gives people a drowsy feeling.

I don't know if it's because it's cold here, or the doctor said he saw a face behind him, the fat man felt uncomfortable as soon as he walked into the library.

It was as if there were eyes staring at him in the dark.

The space inside is much larger than it looks from the outside, and the structure is relatively high, so it should look very spacious.

But I don't know who designed it. There are walls everywhere, and there are large screens with warnings. Walking inside is like entering a maze.

Taking the fat man to turn left and right, Jiang Cheng and his friends finally found a map of the library, and thus determined the location of the borrowing office.

The purpose of their trip was very simple, which was to find the book corresponding to the note code.

"Doctor, it's so quiet here." As they walked, the fat man suddenly lowered his voice and said that they only met a girl at the door along the way.

"And this library looks really old. How can the current library be built like this? The fat man raised his collar a little uneasily and whispered, "It looks like a maze."

"The previous library would not be built like this." Jiang Cheng replied.

The fat man's eyes changed when he heard it, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I think this should not have been a library before, and this building obviously existed earlier than Jiangtan University."

The fat man understood what Jiang Cheng meant. When Jiangtan University was founded, this building should have been included, and then it was renovated and renovated on the basis of this old building before it was converted into the current library.

"What was this place before?" The fat man's face was a little uneasy for a moment. It can be seen that he should have imagined some very scary scenes, such as a funeral home, a mental hospital, etc.

"Don't ask me, ask the person behind you. "Jiang Cheng said.

The fat man had a bitter face and shut up immediately, then followed the doctor closely, not leaving him for a step, wishing he could become a mascot hanging on him.

"We're here." Jiang Cheng said.

About 10 meters in front of him, there was a semi-enclosed space separated by glass, with several tables inside, one of which was piled with books.

A woman with a ponytail and an ordinary look sat at the table, lowering her head, picking up a book from time to time, and then making a note in a blue notebook, and then quickly changing to another one.

On the glass window, the three words "Book Borrowing Department" were written.

Jiang Cheng had only seen similar scenes in old movies. Most libraries now have search computers that can be operated by themselves. Where else can you find such a thing?

"Hello, teacher. "Jiang Cheng walked forward and knocked on the glass window politely.

After a while, the woman raised her head. She looked to be in her early 30s. She had some heavy wrinkles and dark circles under her eyes, which should be caused by staying up late.

The woman adjusted her glasses and asked in a very businesslike manner: "Borrowing books or returning books? Also," the woman paused, "Just call me classmate. I'm a junior this year."

"Hello, senior sister." Jiang Cheng nodded immediately, leaned on the window, blinked, and said in a very cute tone: "I want to borrow a book."

"Title, category." The woman had no expression on her face.

"I don't know the title, but I know this." Jiang Cheng reached out and took out a note, handed it over and said: "Please help me check this book, I want to borrow it."

The woman took the note, just glanced at it, and handed it back, "Sorry, classmate, your number is not from our library."

"No? "When Jiang Cheng came here, he thought of many possibilities, such as the book was lost, or something else, but he never thought that there was a problem with the book number.

"No." The woman was still expressionless.

Jiang Cheng immediately put on a brighter smile, leaned forward, and begged in a low voice: "Senior sister, why don't you help me take another look, how could it not be, I am a student here, is it you..."

"If you say it's not, then it's not." The woman looked at him, her face full of seriousness, "Classmate, I want to remind you that this is a library, a very serious place, you don't have to smile frivolously."

Seeing this scene, the fat man's face became interesting.

Just as Jiang Cheng took a deep breath and prepared to use his big move, suddenly, the dark iron door behind the woman was pushed open, and a thin figure walked in.

It was an elderly man with gray hair, wearing a simple suit, wearing metal narrow-framed glasses, and a scarf woven with thick wool around his neck.

"Director Zhou. "When the woman saw the simple old man coming in, she immediately stood up and greeted him.

"Wu Qing, you are still here, don't you have classes today?" The old man called Director Zhou smiled and nodded, then moved his eyes to Jiang Cheng and the others.

"I heard you talking just now, what's the matter?" The old man took off his scarf and put it on the table. His movements were very natural and comfortable to watch.

"They came to borrow books and took a numbered list from somewhere." Wu Qing answered in a serious tone.

"No, Director Zhou, we are also students of Jiangtan University." Jiang Cheng explained hurriedly through the glass.

Director Zhou took the number handed over by Wu Qing and only glanced at it. The next second, Jiang Cheng keenly noticed that Director Wu's brows slowly wrinkled and his expression became strange, "Where did you get this number from?" Where did you get it?" Director Wu looked at Jiang Cheng and asked.

Jiang Cheng was worried that he would spill the beans, so he had to prevaricate and throw the question back, "Director Zhou, do you know this number?"

"Yes." Director Zhou seemed to have not thought much about it. He lowered his head and looked at the number in his hand again, recalling: "This is indeed the number of the books in our library."

"How could it be?" Wu Qing couldn't help but say something.

"But not now, it was many years ago, when the school library was first established, and it was normal for Wu Qing not to know." Director Zhou explained.

"Does this book still exist now?" Jiang Cheng didn't want to know history, he just wanted this book.

Curator Zhou shook his head, then handed the numbered list back and said in a regretful tone: "It has been too long. Many of the books in the collection at that time have been lost. Even if they are still there, it is difficult to find them."

Seeing that the clues they finally found were interrupted, Jiang Cheng and Fatty were unwilling to give in. Jiang Cheng was ready to work harder, "Director Zhou, please help me think about it again. This book is very important to me."
