Thanks for your help. Since I do not know much about bitcoin advance technique, how can I get the private key of this address?
As I said, your addresses do not just map to one private key, they may have multiple and have a script, so it is much more complicated.

Did you setup your wallet as as multisig wallet or are you using 2FA with your wallet?
I am using 2FA wallet. No Multisig

Do you still have access to the seeds used for this wallet. 2FA uses multisig for the wallet. Are you unable to use the 2FA which is why you are trying to get the private key or do you need it for another purpose. If you still have the seed, you can restore the wallet for use without 2FA by following the below steps.

Your seed contains two master private keys in a 2-of-3 security scheme. In addition, the third master public key can be derived from your seed, ensuring that your wallet addresses can be restored. In order to restore your wallet from seed, select “wallet with two factor authentication”, as this tells Electrum to use this special variety of seed for restoring your wallet.

Note: The “restore” option should be used only if you no longer want to use TrustedCoin, or if there is a problem with the service. Once you have restored your wallet in this way, two of three factors are on your machine, negating the special protection of this type of wallet.

Your addresses are p2sh addresses (they begin with a 3). These address do not have single private keys (if any). The only addresses which have a key map directly to the address are p2pkh address, those that begin with a 1. Your addresses are probably multisig addresses, so there is a script containing multiple public keys in order to get the address.

There are 0.003 Bitcoin in this address: 3HvRkrcUWYxHj6VB163JHSsNpVgvhKHK2U
When I looked up for the private key, the wallet gave me this pk: L36XBbBbWqsYZxEiQRB9M4Qk4QnqAHqfH3fr6PtbCp1KieVU25mG
However, it turned out to be the private key of a different address:1CJqmhtDZYSUwEUEteExhA4iT4sBikvjwv . What is wrong with my electrum
Please check some other addresses from my wallet
