On the other side, Ji Jing’s morning was quite relaxed.

Today, she plans to continue to investigate the relationship between Wei Ming and the restaurant that existed more than a hundred years ago.

As she was looking for information last night, she suddenly found that there was a small museum in that area, which was funded by the local residents to commemorate their history.

Ji Jing was very surprised. She thought that although the information available on the Internet was limited, the local people knew the place where they lived best. Maybe the museum would record the Hongxing Building.

Perhaps, the mystery that Mingze did not know at that time has been deciphered by later generations after hundreds of years.

More than a hundred years ago, what happened to the largest restaurant in C City?

Therefore, Ji Jing decided to go to the museum this morning.

To her surprise, this small museum. The internal facilities are actually complete.

The glass display cabinet has both written materials and various cultural relics. The most important thing is that it has copied most of the documents for visitors to read. In these documents, Ji Jing really found a lot of useful information.

It turned out that more than a hundred years ago, during the war between the country and neighboring countries, the area where City C was located unfortunately fell, but for various reasons, the enemy maintained peaceful control for a period of time.

Boss Xiao Xie runs Hongxing Building in such a background. On the surface, it is prosperous, and the dark tide is surging behind his back.

Because there are many guests, restaurants and teahouses have been a place where all kinds of news gathered since ancient times. During the war, Hongxing Building was also a key place for information exchange.

Boss Xiao Xie is actually very patriotic and secretly contributed the hidden guest rooms in the restaurant to the underground intelligence in his country. Therefore, gradually, Hongxing Building became the largest underground intelligence workstation in C City.

This intelligence station was also burned in a fire with Hongxing Tower.

However, Ji Jing carefully looked through the materials in the museum and still failed to find the cause of the fire.

She sighed and turned to another showcase, where she introduced the local people who had made outstanding contributions to the country, including those who had participated in the intelligence of Hongxing Building.

What attracts Ji Jing is actually the names of these people. What’s very special is that most of the people here are surnamed Wei. More importantly, one of the people who died in the fire of Hongxing Tower was also called Wei Ming.

Ji Jing tapped the name across the glass cabinet, but the fake Taoist priest was an orphan. The name was given by the orphanage. It should have nothing to do with his ancestors.

Is this a coincidence?

Just as Ji Jing was concentrating on thinking, an old voice sounded beside her.

“Son, are you interested in this?”

Ji Jing followed the sound. It turned out to be an old man in a long shirt. He looked at him in his eighties, but his body seemed to be very strong, with a work card on his chest. It turned out that he was the curator of this small museum.

“Hello, grandpa,” Ji Jing said respectfully, “Because of one of my friends… Well, his ancestors, who were also in C City at that time, witnessed the fire and told me the story of Hongxing Building, so I was very interested in seeing this record today.

“Yes,” the curator also looked down at the record in the showcase. “My father also said that Hongxing Tower accompanied him almost the whole childhood.

The fire destroyed Hongxing Tower, and everyone felt it was a pity.”

It turned out that the grandfather’s parents also experienced the fire. Will he know anything?

Ji Jing asked tentatively, “Grandpa, why did Hongxing Building have this fire?”

“Although I haven’t experienced that time. But I heard from my father that the fire in Hongxing Tower was probably man-made. Grandpa Youyou recalled, “Someone leaked the secret. Unfortunately, the intelligence station in the building was found by the enemy, so many people rushed to the building in a hurry to destroy the information left in the building. However, the enemy soon secretly blocked the whole building and only went in and out. They had no choice, so they simply set off a fire and burned the whole building, and the intelligence was destroyed.

Ji Jing opened her mouth in surprise. It turned out that this was the truth of the fire.

“Are all the people who died here involved in the fire?” Ji Jing clicked on the names of the underground intelligence workers..
