Chapter 147: Mysterious Letter
Since Xia Duo has completed the task target of at least 400 gold coins, his mentality at the moment is very different, if the murderer can be investigated, it is best to complete some more indicators.
And if there is no result, it is not a loss, and Mrs. Patty promised that even if there is no result, there will be a reward, but the murderer is not found.
But Carey is different, the investigation into the cause of death has been preempted by Xia Duo, or has been given up by Mrs. Patty, so she can only seize Mrs. Patty's previous guarantee, and try to have as many gold coins as possible.
When he checked the dark grid, Carey reached out and grabbed the stack of parchment papers, but as for the gold coins and the inconspicuous statue, he didn't pay attention to them.
At least nothing is more valuable than a written document. Seeing Carey so positive, Xia Duo wanted to laugh in his heart, he didn't know how much those parchments were worth, but he recognized the wood carving.
He once owned one, he had killed old Neil and came back, and he sold it for 500 gold coins, which was certainly not its true value.
Carey went to get the paperwork, and Chardo went to get the wood carving. ā¦ā¦ Bringing the wood carving in front of him, facing the light outside the window, Xia Duo squinted his eyes to observe the edge of the wood carving, and sure enough, there was a thin layer of silver light.
It's the same material as the one he got before! Although the shape is different from the previous one, it can also be seen that she is a heroic woman, the carving skills do not seem to be very exquisite, and the face is a little blurred, but the eyes are extraordinarily expressive.
Xia Duo was particularly impressed by these eyes, and this time he recognized them at a glance, but he couldn't figure out why he couldn't carve other parts a little better if he could carve such expressive eyes?
Is it the bad taste of the carver? Or is there something else that would like to be? Shado knew that, except for Turner, the middleman who used the leather shop as a sales point, the masked man he had met at the previous Moon Festival knew this kind of wood carving.
Now, I have seen this wood carving in the dark grid of Fairbers Villa, is there any connection between this?
Thinking like this, Master Kaili had already finished reading the stack of papers, and when he saw Xia Duo holding the wood carving, he thought that Xia Duo had found some clue, and his heart tightened.
"Hey, Shado, let me see that wood carving." Xia Duo motioned for him to bring the paperwork, and Master Carey looked reluctant, but handed it over anyway, Xia Duo took the stack of papers, and threw the wood carving over very casually.
There are no clues to the wood carving itself, and if Xia Duo doesn't know that there is another wood carving, or even a multi-handed one, being pursued by the mysterious masked man, he will probably pay attention to these secretly preserved documents first, as Carey did.
In fact, Carey regretted it when he saw Xia Duo throw the wood carving over so casually, because he had actually found clues in that stack of books, although it may not be able to point to the cause of Fairbers' death and the murderer, but if there is a clue, you can exchange money!
So, Xia Duo saw Carey take the wood carving and run out of the study, at the moment he didn't understand what Carey meant, but when he saw a page in the book, he understood.
This stack of documents was not a title deed, a contract or anything like that, just a stack of ordinary letters, except for a few pieces of geographical information about the Green Bead Forest pressed on the top.
There is also a cost estimate for the development later, and it seems that after the orc lair is cleared, the Savile Territory is about to usher in a big development.
But that's not the point, the point is the letters in the back, which seem to be some daily greetings and parents' shortcomings, but the color resistance is not the earth, and the earthlings may write a letter for some trivial things, but in the color resistance - if it's only in the Savile territory, it's fine, if it's sent to other territories, it's generally only to entrust the caravan guards to help send it.
Regardless of whether it will really be delivered, this price is very beautiful, and it is rare for ordinary people to send it to other territories.
Fairbers sent these letters from other territories, just for some trivial matter?
Do you also have a secret compartment to save? In this regard, Xia Duo's first reaction was that this guy might be a secret agent, and then he was killed somehow, maybe he leaked some secrets, and then he was killed by the master's family.
Xia Duo checked these letters while making up the spy war drama in his brain, until he turned to this-
"Greg my friend: If I feel that my body is not as good as one, I may soon have to go to the kingdom of the Lord of Radiance, I have tried for a long time before you, but it has no effect, is it *****, I don't question it, just an old man who longs for youth...... "Looking at the handwriting, it seems to be written by Fairbers, there are traces of alteration on it, I don't know if it is a waste manuscript, or the person who died before he could send it."
Continuing to look below, Fairpers took care of his old friend in the letter to help take care of his son, but he was to leave the property to Mrs. Patty.
"Tsk-" Xia Duo couldn't help but sigh, what kind of ecstasy soup did this Patif Randi pour into Fairbers, so that neither of the two wills was ready to leave property to his son.
But combined with the fact that Mrs. Patti was so anxious to take revenge after Fairbers' death, he seemed to understand something again, so he could only sigh and continue to watch.
The rest of the content is some memories, especially memories of Patifurao, but the last content is a little scary-
"The **** sent to me by my old friend is no longer valid, I can no longer resist their control of me, they want to ******, but I will not give in.
"I'll *******
"O my lord! I've turned my back on your path after all! A large piece of handwriting was erased, and at this moment, Xia Duo's heart seemed to be scratching a dozen cats, and it was gone when he saw the key place, which was really worrying.
This letter is important, no wonder Carey was rushing out just now. Just as he was thinking, there was a sound of thumping footsteps in the direction of the stairs, and it was Mrs. Patty.
One moment upstairs, one moment downstairs, one moment upstairs, it was really difficult for her, Xia Duo she might have to read the letter, so she walked a few steps to the door.
"Lord Shado, Iā" Mrs. Patty's breath was a little hurried, her eyes fixed on the stack of letters in Chardo's hand.
"I've seen it all, take it!" Mrs. Patty snatched the letter and flipped through it one by one, until the one Fairbers had written, and Patti's tears began to fall again.
"It's him! It's him! Thank you, Chardo-sama! ā
"......" This time Xia Duo saw Carey roll his eyes very clearly, and Mrs. Patty quickly reacted and turned to thank Carey, and Carey's face was a little better.
"Lady Patty, I don't know what you're going to do next, I still have a key experiment to do in the Mage Tower, and I can't delay it." Chado was ready to withdraw, though he was curious about what Fairbers had written
Who the hell are "they", but this matter is clearly a little more than Xia Duo expected. He originally thought it was just an ordinary merchant who had been killed, but later found out that the death was strange, suspected of having traces of spells, and for the sake of the gold coins, Xia Duo stayed.
But now, it seems that there is an organized and premeditated affair behind it, and Xia Duo does not want to be involved.
