Greetings Sheng, Some tree questions just can't be answered via this form and unfortunately this is one of those questions. Tree insect and disease questions routinely require on-site inspection. Therefore, you will need to contact either your local city forester, a certified arborist, or your local University of Illinois Extension office to evaluate your tree(s).
