Chapter 258 The Eagle Feather Bearer
Where did the accident happen?
What happened?
And who happened?
This question is not difficult to guess.
When I passed through the gate, I saw life-size wooden dummies erected all over the courtyard.
If you look closely, you can see that these wooden dummies are densely covered with holes of various sizes.
It is a fingerprint!
In addition to fingerprints, there are also footprints.
On the bluestone floor, clearly visible footprints swirl around the dummy.
Fingerprints pierce wood, and footprints carve stones.
It is conceivable that there were once people in this courtyard, practicing martial arts day and night.
Leave the courtyard, walk through the outer hall, and enter the dusty inner room.
As soon as you step on it, a large cloud of dust and haze will suddenly be raised.
"Why don't you find someone to clean up?" I fanned the smoke and said.
"I'm afraid of messing up the clues." Talon King.
I thought to myself: So, this room is the scene of the crime?
The area of the room is not large, and the furnishings are very simple, in addition to a wooden bed, a wooden table, and a few wooden chairs, there is also a large wooden wardrobe, and a wooden shelf holding a large copper basin.
Plain and streamlined, this is a bedroom that is very suitable for martial arts practitioners.
The question is......
I looked at it for a long time, but I didn't see anything unusual in the house.
Everything was in its rightful place, the beds were neatly folded, and the tables and chairs were in perfect condition.
Could it be ...... What's going on in that big closet?
Although the wardrobe is large, it is divided into many small drawers, and it is impossible to hide people inside.
If you really want to hide people inside......
Just thinking about it made me shiver.
It's not so miserable, is it?
I stole a glance at King Talon.
The Talon King's face was expressionless.
If you ask him directly, it will inevitably seem that I am too incompetent, so let's take a second look.
I bowed my waist, lowered my head, and began a carpet search of the room.
The tables and chairs are really fine.
The wooden frame of the copper basin is no problem.
Next to the wooden frame is the large wardrobe.
Anyway, you'll have to check it sooner or later, so let's bite the bullet!
I swallowed and slowly pulled open one of the drawers.
You may not believe it, but I'm a man who is very afraid of seeing blood......
Tilt your neck and glance out of the corner of your eye!
Luckily, just some clothes.
I looked at several more drawers, and they were all clothes.
I breathed a sigh of relief and turned to stare at the only thing in the room that hadn't been inspected.
Bed.
It is said that one-third of a person's life is spent in bed.
It is clear that the people who say this lack nightlife.
Of course, maybe he is not lacking, after all, there are so many people who spend their nightlife in bed.
In any case, the importance of the bed to human beings is self-evident - you can sing and have fun all night long, but at the end of the day, you have to sleep well.
If you want to get a good night's sleep, you have to have a good bed.
This bed may not be gorgeous in appearance, but it is made of the original fragrance of sandalwood as the main material, and each of the four corners is embedded with a rhino salivary stone, which exudes a faint fragrance throughout the body.
This bed alone is estimated to be worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.
What a high-end low-key luxury!
It's right to think about it, in a poor place like Yuanzhou, several bigwigs can casually take out a bet of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, not to mention the Eagle Claw Gate that controls a big state capital like Qizhou?
If it's really shabby, it's weird.
At this time, when I thought about it, I felt a little uncomfortable: I finally saved your Zheng Ying's life, and the three rewards I gave were not good, and I could only choose one of the three!
However, when it comes to rewarding, Zheng Ying may not have the intention of tempting me in his heart - if I am really too greedy, maybe I will just let him sweep the floor out of the house, how can I be allowed to stay and participate in such a confidential event in front of me?
Once I had my mind steady, I began to examine the bed carefully.
The glaze of the bed frame is very smooth, and the bedding on the bed surface is also very neat, with scratches, breakages, blood stains, and debris...... None were found.
I frowned, half-crouched down, and leaned under the bed.
There were several large boxes under the bed, and there was no room for people to hide.
Do you want to pull the box out and take a look?
Just as I was about to do this, I caught a glimpse of something strange out of the corner of my eye.
The anomaly lies just below the edge of the bed, at the bottom of the beam towards the ground.
Don't understand?
Specifically, when you sit on the edge of the bed with your feet facing out, grasp the edge of the bed with both hands, and then look down where your hands can reach.
What's the secret here?
I reached out and touched it, and saw that it was a line of words.
Write the surface of the wood with your fingertips!
"Looking for the Golden Eagle Feather."
Five words, it says it all.
But when you think about it, you can't explain anything.
I straightened up and looked at the Talon King in silence.
"Zheng Ze came back from Yuanzhou and disappeared not long after." The Eagle Talon King said slowly, "Since there were no abnormal traces left at the scene, it took several days for Lian Ying to find this sentence under the bed. ”
"Zheng Ze disappeared, was it before or after you were poisoned?" I asked.
"After that." "So we guess that I was poisoned and Zheng Ze was missing, it should be the same person, or the same group of people...... Their purpose is likely to subvert the Eagle Claw Gate! ”
I gasped.
Two months ago, my goal in Qizhou was Jiuchi Meat Forest.
When I really arrived in Qizhou, the goal had become to find Zheng Ze, and the two chatted about family life.
And when I entered Qizhou City, the goal became to find out why the Eagle Claw Gate wanted to capture the person who possessed the golden eagle feathers.
Now, I know why.
But in the blink of an eye, he actually fell into a conspiracy to subvert the Eagle Claw Gate?
A behemoth like the Eagle Claw Gate, whether it is internal or external fighting, will inevitably be accompanied by a terrible bloody storm.
I just want to ask - is it too late to withdraw now?
Of course, I didn't ask.
Let me know so many secrets, how can I still go?
"Looking for the Golden Eagle Feathers......" I asked another question, "how many people are holding Golden Eagle Feathers?" ”
"There are a total of twelve golden eagle feathers, I have six on hand, and when Zheng left Qizhou to explore the rivers and lakes, I gave him three." Eagle Claw King said, "The other six are in the hands of the two deputy masters, and they have not given them to anyone. ”
"Does the phrase 'looking for the Golden Eagle Feather' refer to ......" I guessed, "the two deputy masters? ”
"They don't have a clue about this." The Talon King shook his head.
Obviously, the Talon King has absolute trust in his two companions who were born and died.
If the two deputy masters are really trustworthy, then the phrase 'looking for golden eagle feathers' can only fall on the three golden eagle feathers in Zheng Ze's hands.
"Zheng Ze did send out all three golden eagle feathers." "Unfortunately, we have only found the owner of two of them......"
I'm the owner of one.
And the owner of the other one...... It's the unlucky rich young master who walked ahead of me.
So, does the truth of the whole thing fall on the owner of the third golden eagle feather?
"Huh? Who are you? ”
Just as I was about to ask the Talon King further, a bouncing figure rushed in through the doorway.
Regarding the confusion and repetition of the content of the article...... Just refresh every once in a while (usually after an hour).
This problem is indeed a pot in a certain north, causing reading difficulties and troubles to everyone, I am ashamed, and I am not ready to defend it, so I can only try to reduce this situation......
Sorry!
