Chapter 232: Clues
"How? My new house is good, isn't it? Whether it's the location it's in, or the decoration here, it's all first-class in this Twin Moon City. I'll move in tomorrow and feel what it's like to live in this hot mansion. Noah casually walked around the Clark family's mansion, surveying his surroundings.
Since the mansion had been raided before, all the small and soft items had been confiscated, except for some large furniture and decorations, so the whole house looked very empty.
The eldest cousin Marven glanced at Noah, and said with some disgust: "Come on, you!" Don't think I don't know, when you were young, you often spent the night at Xia Zuo's house, and you are very familiar with this place! Why do you still say it like the first time? Saying that, Marven couldn't help but look around with Noah's eyes, and asked, "By the way, I said that you bought Xia Zuo's house, what is the purpose?" Don't say it's really for living, I know you won't do such a boring thing! ”
Noah put away the smile on his face, and then said slowly: "The purpose of buying this house is actually to test one of my conjectures. ”
Marven was a little puzzled: "What conjecture?" ”
"Who the hell wants to kill Xia Zuo and them?"
Marven stopped: "What do you mean by that?" Could it be that everything that happened at the beginning was not the hand of the second prince Lan'er? ”
"Of course I do. But before that stormy night, I had already sent a message to Natsuzo, reminding him to be careful. But the Clark family, in the end, did not escape the disaster that night. This can only mean one thing, that is, Xia Zuo did not actually receive the message I sent to him. So who do you think is doing this? ”
Marven suddenly realized: "Oh! That's why you have to buy this house and see if there are any clues left here to find out who is behind the scenes! Do you have a suspicion? ”
The corners of Noah's mouth curled slightly, and he said, "Of course." That day, I also specially instructed the little servant to make sure that he personally delivered the letter to Xia Zuo's hand. But when the servant returned, he told me that the letter had been intercepted by Madame Lyanna, and that he was reassured. letter, he will definitely hand it over to Xia Zuo himself. But in terms of the end result, this is clearly not the case. If Xia Zuo had received my message, he would have decided that this would not be the case now. ”
Marven said suspiciously: "You mean, Xia Zuo's mother, Lady Lyanna, has a problem?" But isn't that right? Why did she harm her husband and children? Could it be that she just forgot about it for a while, so she was negligent? ”
Noah shook his head, and then said with great certainty: "What would you do if someone asked you to do something and repeatedly emphasized that it was important?" I think most people are very interested in this, right? And Madame Lyanna has always been careful, and I don't think she could have made such a lowly mistake! Of course, everything is still speculation at the moment, and evidence needs to be found to be conclusive. ”
So saying, Noah went into the living room of the mansion and said, "The messenger told me that when he saw Madame Lyanna receive the letter, he put it on the cabinet in the living room. And the maids cleaned it every day, and if they found the letter, it would surely be re-handed over to their masters. But in fact, nothing like this happened. This means that the letter must have been put away or disposed of in advance, and it will never be forgotten. ”
Marven asked, "But in order to prevent evidence from being left, it is quite possible that the letter has been disposed of." Do you think we can still find the letter in such a situation? ”
"So, we're going to have to take a gamble."
"Take a gamble?" Marven was a little puzzled: "What are you going to bet on?" ”
Noah stopped, then turned to look at Marven, and the expression on his face became serious: "Bet on Mrs. Lyanna, is there still a little human touch." No matter what her relationship with Duke Clark is, Xia Zuo and Charlene are always her children. I don't believe that a mother will not hesitate at all when it comes to doing something that is not good for her child. As long as she had a hint of hesitation at that time, then she decided to do so at that time was a complex of contradictions. I think she must have wished at some point that someone would stop her, or find out. So it's very likely that she will subconsciously leave some clues, hoping that someone can help her stop this from happening. ”
"You have a point," Marven couldn't help but look up at his surroundings, and then said, "But this mansion has already been searched, and if there were any clues, it would have been found out a long time ago, right?" ”
"Not necessarily."
"Do you have something new?" Marven was a little surprised.
Noah smiled: "Secret room or dark compartment!" ”
Marven was a little incredulous: "Do you still know where the secret room of Xia Zuo's house is?" ”
Noah glanced down at the carpet under his feet, and said with a smile: "I remember when I was young, I once spent the night here, and when I was bored at night, I discussed with Xia Zuo where the structure of their house did not conform to the norm, and we also deduced together where there was a secret room in their house!" It's just that if it's Lady Lyanna's secret room, then it's definitely not the regular secret room of the Clark family, but it should be somewhere that no one else knows. I remember now that I had been tossing and turning late that night with Xia Zuo because of the secret room, and in the end it was Madame Lyanna who comforted us to sleep and let Xia Zuo and me drink some hot milk before going to bed. At that time, Xia Zor accidentally poured the milk onto the carpet in this position, and the expression on Madame Lyanna's face changed suddenly, although only for a moment. I didn't think there was anything wrong with it at the time, but now that I think about it, she was acting quite suspiciously! ”
With that, Noah walked a few more steps, walked to the door of this spare room, crouched down, and continued, "Haven't you found it yet? In fact, the floor of this room is much higher than the corridor outside. It's just that because of the visual error and the obscuration of the decoration, it makes people feel that it is not obvious. Now that everything here is almost empty, this makes the deviation in the ground noticeable. I've inquired before, and this room has indeed been overhauled at the request of Madame Lyanna. So I figured if Lyanna had any hidden stuff, it would be in this room! ”
As he spoke, Noah ripped open the carpet, and the wooden floor below immediately appeared in front of the two. Marven crouched down and observed the ground. He soon noticed that although it didn't look obvious, there were indeed two pieces of floor under the carpet that were loose!
Marven quickly buckled the two floors out, and then found that the bottom was indeed as Noah expected, it was really empty, and there was a delicate box inside!
After seeing the box, the expression on Noah's face instantly became serious. He opened the box and checked the contents, and sure enough, he found the letter he had sent to Xia Zuo!
It seems that Noah's guess has come true!
The letter has not been opened and read, and Lyanna probably can't bear to read it! She was worried that she would relentless if she knew the contents of the letter.
But why on earth did Lyanna do this? Doing so would only ruin her family, and even kill her two children, and Noah really didn't know what good it would do for Lyanna!
Thinking of this, Noah began to flip through the other contents of the box.
In addition to the letter, there were many other letters of unknown meaning and several books in the box. Obviously, these are all coded letters. So where did all these letters come from?
Noah immediately spread out the letters and the code book, and began to crack it in earnest.
Strange to say, the code letters were simply marked by Lyanna, as if to guide the discoverers on how to decipher the code.
It seems that this may be what Lyanna really thinks!
She didn't really want to do it, but she couldn't help herself. That's why she hopes that someone can find out what she has done and stop her actions in time. It is precisely because of this that she puts the code letter and the code book directly together.
While Noah was seriously cracking those codes, Marven also flipped through the other things in the box. Marven found that in addition to the letters, there were also some miscellaneous small items in the box, and there was a necklace style, which was very delicate and special.
Marven looked at the necklace and felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember what it was for a while, so he turned the necklace over and looked at it. Then Marven found that on the back of the necklace, there seemed to be some words engraved. But because the necklace has been worn, it is no longer possible to see what is written on it, and only a few words can be vaguely seen.
At this moment, Noah suddenly shook the pen in his hand, and his face changed suddenly. He couldn't help but mutter, "How can this be? Lyanna, she turned out to be ......"
"What is it?" Marven felt a little strange.
"Lyanna...... She's a spy for the kingdom of Shu! Noah took a deep breath, and seemed to be a little unacceptable to this reality. Then he added, "And that's not all. She is also the queen of the kingdom of Shu and the sister of Doroshi. ”
"What? You said that Xia Zuo's mother is ......" Marven obviously felt that this matter was incredible: "Could it be that the eyeline of the Shu Country distributed throughout the continent has penetrated to this extent?" ”
Noah glanced at Marven a little helplessly and said, "If that's the case, then everything will be explained." The turmoil in the Two Moon City was also secretly fueled by the G-6. Their purpose is to completely destroy the aristocratic system that the Moon Country is proud of, and Xia Zuo's family is the best example of killing chickens and monkeys! ”
Marven couldn't help but take the necklace in his hand, and carefully identify it, this time the words on it finally began to become clear, and the engraving read: To my dearest sister, Lyanna. And the name of the place where the payment is made is the queen of the kingdom of Shu, Doroshi!
