Chapter 156: The Parrot Finds Its Way

"Steward Tian, what do you mean?"

The attendant stood aside, looking at Tian Ban with a happy face and couldn't help but be a little confused. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Quick, go and get the red-headed parrot that Fanbang gave to the eldest prince, its sense of smell is very sensitive, and it will definitely be able to follow the smell to find the old birthday star of the sunken sandalwood handle."

Ignoring the attendant's confusion, Tianjin just asked him to hurry up and bring the naughty red-headed parrot over.

"Oh, I see. The parrot was very fond of the smell of sandalwood, and always wanted to steal things made of sandalwood, so he was locked up in a warehouse in a side room by the eldest prince in a fit of anger, and I went to bring it here. ”

With a pat on his forehead, the attendant finally understood what Tian Ban meant, and immediately turned around and walked out of the small meeting hall, running quickly towards the remote warehouse.

The follow-up thing was very simple, under Tian Ban's coercion and temptation, the red-headed parrot finally flew up and began to lead the way.

The guards of the Great Prince's Mansion mounted their horses and followed behind the parrot.

In fact, Qu Wei felt that Tian Ban's method was quite unreliable, in case the parrot just flew indiscriminately, or it simply escaped.

But because Zhou Yan's disappearance can be regarded as caused by his dereliction of duty, he is embarrassed to say anything now, so he can only follow behind this parrot that is flying while scolding the 'bad guy' and 'hate' vaguely.

Stopping and stopping along the way, Qu Wei didn't know if the flat-haired beast was leading the way, and it wasn't until he finally found out that the red-headed parrot's last target was directly aimed at an abandoned mansion, and he finally became serious.

"Pay attention, leave a few people to fence this abandoned mansion, and the others will go in with me, everyone pay attention and carefully look for clues about Zhou Yan."

After arranging, Qu Wei pushed open the dilapidated wooden door and walked in first. On the side, the red-headed parrot seemed to be tired of flying, and it actually landed on Qu Wei's shoulder at once and began to comb its feathers.

Turning his head to look at the red-headed parrot, Qu Wei thought about it, and without driving it away, he let the red-headed parrot stay on his shoulder.

Soon, the group came outside the room, looking at the thick dust on the floor of the room, as well as the cobwebs near the doors and windows, Qu Wei couldn't help frowning.

"Any clues?"

Following the open door and broken window, Qu Wei glanced inside and asked the surrounding guards.

"Brother Qu, there are no clues, you look at the ground, such a thick dust, there are no footprints at all, at first glance, no one has come."

One of the guards stepped forward and pushed the half-open wooden door with a branch in his hand, and simply opened the gate completely.

Judging from the scene here, it seems that no one has been here at all, is it being played by this flat-haired beast?

Thinking like this, Qu Wei looked at the parrot on his shoulder with an unkind face.

The red parrot seemed to sense the unkindness in Qu Wei's eyes, and actually flew up all of a sudden, and flew directly into the room.

All eyes followed the parrot's movements, and they all looked into the house, and they saw the parrot fly into the house and fly straight behind a pillar in a dim place where the sun could not reach. After landing on the ground, it seemed to find something behind the pillar, gouged it twice with its claws, and then flew back with a claw.

"What's that?"

Looking at the red-headed parrot that had fallen back to his shoulder, Qu Wei stretched out his hand towards it.

"Oh yes"

A strange voice came, and the red-headed parrot shoved the contents of its right paw under its belly.

"Take it!"

Qu Wei was too lazy to talk nonsense, grabbed the red-headed parrot's neck, and snatched the contents of its claws.

"This is, this should be the old birthday star handle of the heavy sandalwood that Steward Tian said, which was originally placed in the guest room where Zhou Yan lived. Since the things that were stolen by Zhou Yan appeared here, Zhou Yan must have been here. ”

Shaking off the red-headed parrot that kept flapping its wings and quacking, Qu Wei immediately looked at the several guards beside him.

"Quick, go in and check carefully, Zhou Yan must have been here, this may have been rearranged, you must check for yourself and see if you can find any clues."

"Yes!"

Several guards responded and hurriedly walked into the room. Everyone carefully inspected every corner, not even the dust on the ground.

"Brother Qu, come and take a look, there is a little blood on the ground here."

After a guard swept away the dust on the ground, he immediately shouted at Qu Wei, who walked over and saw a few traces of blood on the ground under the dust.

As the guards swept away the dust around them, a slightly larger blood stain appeared in front of Qu Wei's eyes.

"It seems that it has been a while, it may be Zhou Yan's bloodstains, there is so much blood shed, it seems that this Zhou Yan should be more auspicious."

Looking at the blood stains on the ground, there were obvious traces of treatment, and it was conceivable that a lot of blood must have been shed at that time, Qu Wei couldn't help but sigh.

"Look carefully and see if you can find Zhou Yan's body."

Standing up, Qu Wei knew in his heart that since someone could arrange this place as if nothing had happened, then eight or nine out of ten Zhou Yan's corpses had also been transferred, and it was estimated that they would return in vain.

Sure enough, after everyone searched for this abandoned mansion inside and out, there was no Zhou Yan's body at all, and there were no other clues.

The only new discovery was the discovery of a person hiding on the beams of the room where the blood stains were found. The dust on the beams had been stepped on, leaving a few footprints and a palm print, and it seemed that someone had been lying in ambush on the beam.

"Let's go, go back."

After looking back at the abandoned mansion, Qu Wei ignored the red-headed parrot that had been pecking at his bun on his head, waved his hand, and took all the guards on the horse, returning to the Great Prince's Mansion to return to Steward Tian.

"So Zhou Yan should be dead?"

Holding the old birthday star of Shen Sandalwood in his hand, Tian Ban couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, it's all because the subordinates are ineffective, and the subordinates are willing to punish the eldest prince."

Qu Wei stood in front of Tian Ban and lowered his head in shame.

"Alas, I can't blame you for this, it's just that you have the intention to calculate it or not. According to what you just said, footprints and palm prints were found on the beams of the house, which shows that Zhou Yan's death was calculated by someone.

I feel that Zhou Yan's behavior has been a little strange recently, it turns out that when he first went out, he had already met or had contact with some people. Alas, we were careless! ”

Waving his hand to let Qu Wei out, Tian Ban picked up the pen and added a few more strokes to the letter, then sighed, tied the letter to Xinying's leg, and released Xinying out. (To be continued.) )
