Chapter 24 Who is it?
In the room of the Great Elder, Ye Feng and Wu Tian found no traces. The other party seemed to have come in carefully, then took away three boxes containing the Gu King and left immediately.
"Forget it, let's go and see what the third elder has gained!" Ye Feng looked at Wu Tiandao, "There are no clues here to find that person. He obviously had premeditated and erased all traces."
"I'll stay here and keep the scene, you go!" Wu Tian shook his head.
"It's good!" Ye Feng felt something was right when he heard Wu Tian say this, "Then I'll go there first and meet up with the third elder later."
The roar continued in the sky, but at this moment, Ye Feng had no desire to watch the battle. He felt that this matter was a bit strange.
He ran towards the second elder's residence, but saw the third elder just coming out of the second elder's house.
"He's not here?" Ye Feng frowned slightly.
"The guard said he went to the Book Pavilion early this morning and never came back. And for more than ten days, he would go to the Book Pavilion early every day, and then come back very late." The third elder continued, "I just went into his house to investigate, but I didn't find anything abnormal. I am now preparing to go to the Book Pavilion. Are you there anything you have found?"
"No clues were found," Ye Feng shook his head, "Xiaotian is now guarding over there. I'll go to the Book Pavilion with you, and then go back to meet Xiaotian!"
"Okay," the third elder was slightly worried. "If he was in the Book Pavilion, we could ask the guards of the Book Pavilion if he had left."
"Even if he leaves, the guards won't know, right?" Ye Feng felt that this was not of much use.
"The Book Pavilion is different from other buildings," the third elder shook his head at Ye Feng, "There are many restrictions in the Book Pavilion. People of different strengths can only enter and exit the designated areas for reading materials. They cannot enter or leave freely. They can only enter or leave through designated entrances and exits."
"In other words, as long as he goes in, if he comes out in the middle, the guards will know!" Ye Feng knew that in this way, the whereabouts of the second elder could be controlled.
"That's it," the third elder nodded.
The territory of the Black Witch Clan is really small. In just a blink of an eye, Ye Feng and the third elder arrived at the Book Pavilion. It was still a small house that looked the same as a private house. If Ye Feng was asked to find such a house without any characteristics, it would probably take some time.
"It's here!" The third elder looked at Ye Feng, then walked straight towards the door.
"Three Elders!" The two guards bowed slightly to the Third Elder.
"Have the Second Elder ever been here?" asked the Third Elder.
"He came early in the morning!" a guard smiled.
"Yes, the Second Elder is like this every day these days. It comes at a slight dawn and then leaves very late." Another guard nodded and smiled.
"When did he come today?" Ye Feng asked.
"It came when the sun was rising!" The two guards said in unison.
"I haven't come out in the middle?" Ye Feng continued to ask.
"I haven't seen him come out. I guess I'm looking up some information inside!" A guard nodded.
"Then let's go in and have a look!" Ye Feng suggested, but was stopped by two guards, "You can't go in!"
The third elder was also a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, this is the clan rule. People who are not from our clan are not allowed to enter the book cabinet. Only after the clan leader agrees and the presbyterians also agree, can they enter the public reading area."
"Okay, I'll wait outside, you go in alone!" Ye Feng didn't say much, after all, people have to learn to follow the local customs. Since this is the other party's clan rule, there is no need to violate it, so as not to cause unnecessary conflicts. Moreover, he is indeed not very interested in these martial arts of the Black Witch Clan, and he is unwilling to plant insects in his body. Such things are difficult to accept just by thinking about.
"Then I'll go in first, and come out soon!" The third elder smiled embarrassedly at Ye Feng, then pushed open the door and entered.
Ye Feng slowly paced outside the book pavilion, waiting patiently, "If it weren't for the Second Elder, who would it be?"
Not long after, the third elder came out with a gloomy face.
"How did the corpse of the worm be thrown away?" the second elder asked as soon as he came up.
"Today, the Great Elder woke up and had a fight with Wu Kuang, so we all left the Great Elder's house, but the body of the Gu King was placed on the small coffee table beside the Great Elder's bed. We also discovered just now. We don't know when we will not see each other. After all, the struggle between the two has lasted for more than half a day." Ye Feng saw that the expression on the second elder's face seemed to be a little angry.
"Who was the first to discover this?" the second elder asked.
"It's me!" Ye Feng admitted frankly.
"Let's go to the Great Elder's room first to see if we can find any clues!" The third elder suggested. She knew that the second elder would continue to ask questions and might have a dispute with Ye Feng. After all, Ye Feng suddenly left the battlefield of the two and went to the Great Elder's room because he did not see the second elder, and suspected that he had made any moves in secret.
"Aren't you watching the battle before? Why did you suddenly return to the Great Elder's room?" The second elder's momentum was obviously unkind.
"Because I suddenly remembered that the bodies of the three Gu Kings were still left in the Great Elder's room, and no one was taking care of them in the room. So I was going to put them away and take them out for the next stage of treatment after the matter of the Great Elder was over. However, after I got there, there was no more things." Ye Feng of course could not say in front of the other party, I suspected that you would make trouble in secret, so I went to the Great Elder's room to check.
The third elder glanced at Ye Feng, and she chose to remain silent about it.
"Who is there anyone who went to the Great Elder's room with you to investigate?" the second elder asked.
"No one, I'm the only one!" Although Ye Feng knew that this answer was likely to arouse suspicion by the other party, he could only tell the truth, because there was a person who knew the facts standing next to him.
"That means you have time to commit the crime!" The second elder became even more aggressive.
"Yes, you can say that!" Ye Feng was not angry. This was completely within his expectations. The other party said it was right. He did have time to commit the crime. "When no one was present, you just need to put three boxes into the storage ring. But why should I do this?"
"I'll help you treat your illness. Wu Ze has promised me that as a reward, I can choose whatever I want. If I want these three corpses of the Gu King, I can bring it up openly at that time. Why do I have to do such a sneaky move?" Ye Feng asked back.
"Second Elder, don't argue about this issue first. Finding a real thief is the most important thing!" The third elder reminded, "Let's go to the Great Elder's room first!"
The second elder looked at Ye Feng with a resentful expression, then snorted coldly and stopped talking.
The third elder shook his head helplessly, and then galloped towards the Great Elder's house.
Ye Feng immediately followed, "The second elder was so angry that it seemed that he was not taking the things. Although there was a restriction in the book pavilion, it might not be impossible to leave. However, the anger in his breath was exactly the same as his words and actions, and it didn't seem like he was lying."
The second elder also flew up, quickly surpassing Ye Feng and the third elder, and was the first to arrive at the door of the Great Elder's room.
"I seem to have missed something..." Ye Feng seemed a little absent-minded.
"You are back!" Wu Tian saw Ye Feng and others entering the bedroom of the elder, and looked at the second elder with a strange expression.
"Have you discovered anything?" the second elder asked with a bad expression.
"In the bedroom, except for the three boxes containing the corpse of the Gu King disappeared, no abnormalities were found, and no clues were left behind by the other party." Wu Tian still found no clues.
"Who has entered and exited this house? The Great Elder's room also has a simple prohibition. If you want to sneak in quietly, there will be more or less traces on those prohibitions." The second elder looked at Ye Feng and others, "If there is no trace on the prohibition, either the other party's strength has surpassed the Great Elder, or the person who has entered and exited this room has taken action."
When he said this, his eyes were obviously staring at Ye Feng. Obviously, he did not trust this outsider.
"There are indeed traces above the ban, but that's all. Apart from that, there are no other clues." Ye Feng nodded and said.
"That trace..." The second elder looked around and finally set his eyes on a wall facing the door of the house, "There is there!"
As soon as his voice fell, he waved his sleeves and a white light shot out, sank into the wall and disappeared. Not long after, a golden light curtain surrounding the entire room appeared in front of everyone. This was the prohibition set by the Great Elder.
And the second elder just pointed at nothing.
"This prohibition was developed by me and the Great Elder back then. It has a memory function on it. If it is attacked, it will be clearly recorded in the form of a wound. As long as it is stimulated in some way, the original traces of the wound will be revealed." The second elder smiled proudly.
At this moment, a wound was slowly revealed on the golden light curtain where the second elder pointed at. As time passed, the wound became larger and larger...
