Mysterious map

Yes, this young man wearing a baseball cap, named Mo Fan, is the most famous detective in shanghai.

He looked at the old man and said doubtfully," Why you know my name and why do you help me? "

The old man said calmly," I think nobody don't know who you are as you are the most famous detective in Shanghai."

Mo fan turned his head and asked the sheriff," Then, can we leave now? "

The Fat-headed sheriff said," Of course. But don't forget what I asked you."

Mo fan said teasingly," Don't worry. I am an honest man. Those pieces of evidence will surely disappear when I retuen safely."

Then ,Mo fan turned his head to the old man and said," Then, let's talk in your car."

The old man said astonishingly," Maybe you can guess that I should have something to ask you for help, but how can you know I come here by car."

Mo fan said confidently," It's raining outside at this time, but your whole body is dry without a single drop of water, and there's not a speck of dirt on your shoes either. This indicates that you didn't come here on foot. It's late at night now, so you can't take any other means of transportation except your car."

The old man said happily," Then, I believe I haven't found the wrong guy. So, let us get in the car and talk about the details."

Mo fan said gladly," ok."

.......

After they walked out of the police station, there were three cars parked outside, two of which contained four strong men. In one of the cars, the driver opened the door for the old man and Mo Fan, gesturing for them to go in. Mo Fan told the driver the address of the detective agency. 

After they got into the car, the old man said," So, let me introduce myself first. My name is Yu Jun, and because of my age, you can call me Uncle Jun."

Then, Mo fan went on to say," Uncle Jun, as you wish. Then, what can I do for you? I think you must be encountering a very big problem and need my help. But how can you know I can help you? "

Uncle Jun said confusedly," How can you tell that I have a problem that I can't solve?"

Mo Fan said confidently," If I am not mistaken, all these cars of yours are of considerable value, and the attendants accompanying you, I judged, are all highly skilled people. And the jade ring you are wearing on your hand is an invaluable antique. From all the above details, it shows that you are not short of manpower or wealth, but you need to ask me, this little detective, for help. Unless it is something that only I can solve for you, or you are not convenient to handle it yourself and have to ask an outsider to help."

Uncle Jun said calmly," Listen to me tell a story first. In ancient China, there was a school called the Mohist school, whose leader was named Mozi. He was not only an outstanding craftsman who invented the most advanced devices of the time, such as the ladder, trebuchet and crossbow, but also a great military strategist. Once, relying on his own strength, he fought against LuBan, a master craftsman from the state of Chu, by drawing pictures to simulate a war. In the end, he not only won, but also it even forced the king of Chu to give up his ambition to attack the state of Song. And what I'm talking about is precisely your Mohist ancestor, and you are a descendant of Mozi."

Mo Fan said indifferently," Thank you for sharing a history lesson. Maybe my ancestor is famous and brilliant, but what does it have to do with your problem?"

Uncle Jun continually said," Most people know that MoZi was a master craftsman and military strategist, but few know that he was actually proficient in Chinese art such as Qimen Dunjia and feng shui and the eight Trigrams. In fact, the descendants of the Mohist school throughout history have all studied the valuable academic knowledge of their family. So you are the only person I have entrusted to search for this treasure. And if I tell you that this treasure is actually related to the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, I wonder if you would be interested?"

When Mo Fan heard that the treasure was related to the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, he said excitedly," Could you be referring to the long-lost map of the underground palace of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor?"

Uncle Jun said teasingly," It seems that you are interested. And yes, exactly what I said is the long-lost map of the underground palace of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor." 

Mo Fan said," Actually, people in my family throughout the ages have been looking for the whereabouts of this map, but no one succeeded all along. Legend has it that this map was lost in a place called DongHuang Island, which is said to be in the Sea of Japan. However, throughout history, explorers who ventured to the Sea of Japan have never found this island, as if it had vanished into thin air. However, I do want to find this map and then enter the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor to take a good look at what precious treasures are buried inside. It's a pity that I don't have enough funds to carry out this treasure hunt plan now.Meanwhile, our family has made many efforts throughout the ages to search for relevant clues about the location of Donghuang Island, but no matter how hard we try, we have no clue at all. So I'm afraid I'm powerless."

Suddenly, Mo Fan asked Uncle Jun curiously," Why do you want to find the map? Do you also want to get the treasures in the underground palace of the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor? But you are already very rich now, why be so greedy?"

Uncle Jun answered," You have forgotten that I am in the antique business. Collecting valuable antiques from all over the world has always been my pursuit. Besides, could there be anything more attractive than the antiques in the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor? I am willing to offer all conditions as long as you are willing to accept this deal. Meanwhile, I have obtained here what is said to be a record from the time when Xu Fu led his subordinates to Donghuang Island. It detailedly records what they saw and heard when they went to Donghuang Island at that time. Although there is no specific location of Donghuang Island in the scroll, perhaps useful information can be obtained from these records." After saying that, he took out an ancient cowhide scroll from his bosom and handed it to Mo Fan.

Mo Fan excitedly took the scroll and carefully examined the words inside it.

Mo Fan then said excitedly, "It seems that we have reached an agreement." But I have a few conditions. First, for this treasure-hunting trip, all the expenses will be borne by you. Secondly, the personnel participating in this operation must be selected by me. "

Uncle Jun said calmly," I accept your conditions. But I also have one condition that I need to come with you for this adventure."

Mo Fan nodded his head as he agreed his condition.

Mo Fan said," I will prepare everything in a few days."

Uncle Jun gave him a business card and said," When you prepare, you can find me from the address on the card. "

Mo Fan took the card, and at the same time, the car arrived at the destination.

As Mo Fan got out of the car and watched the cars disappear into the darkness, he looked up at the sky and muttered to himself, "Finally, there's a wonderful adventure."
