As the shaft broke, the contents hidden in the hollow fell onto the paper of the table. For a moment, the snow-white paper became sparkling, but it was covered with tiny, sparkling gems.
Among them, there are all red, green, blue, and white, the big ones are as big as a little finger, and the smallest ones are as big as soybeans; and they have obviously been cut and polished; there are even some residual edges that look like gold and silver, and they seem to be from The valuable jewelry was pried off.
Well, this broken copybook actually contains such an unexpected gain. Compared with this large number of bright gems of unknown origin, a thin and yellowed piece of paper was poured out from the finally broken shaft; there were only some earthworm-like lines and ink dots on the piece of paper.
However, at this moment, Jiang Tian felt something familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before; then after thinking for a moment, he came to the side wall behind a flower and bird hanging, and touched it in the deliberately left wooden gap. A folded roll of cloth comes out.
However, it was the fire-huan cloth pattern found in the heart of the half tree among the burned-down ruins of the small building in Youtufang. After Jiang Tian unfolded it and compared it for a while, he immediately found the similarities; because most of the lines, ink dots, and marks in it overlapped with each other.
Then use a piece of snowflake paper produced by Chengmingtang, and use a charcoal line pen to copy them separately; like interlocking puzzle pieces, the gaps and shortcomings between each other are immediately filled in; It turned into a relatively complete rough topographic map.
However, when Jiang Tian looked left and right, he could not see the specific reference object of this topographic map. Because these lines, ink dots and odd-shaped marks do not resemble the distribution of the city square where Chang'an City is located, nor do they resemble the geographical distribution of mountains, rivers and rivers in the wild.
Therefore, Jiang Tian, who was puzzled, decided to put aside these confusions for the time being, turn off the lights again, lie down and sleep. However, when he was fumbling with the little kitten Xiu Ban, he accidentally knocked over the small cup from which it drank water, and his hands suddenly became wet.
After shaking it a few times, a few drops splashed onto the spread copy paper; I couldn't help but wipe it dry with my sleeve. However, the next moment, Jiang Tian was suddenly stunned. Because, on the paper that had been smeared by water, there were several long wet marks that suddenly touched him under the dim moonlight.
So Jiang Tian once again used a quick-fire match (original match) to light up the white glazed (transparent glass) lamp for lighting on the shore. After he looked at it thoughtfully for a while, he went to the outside with a lantern and pulled out a copy of the document from the shelf where books and materials were stored.
Next, he unhesitatingly opened the envelope of the document and immediately revealed the drawings inside, which were included in a stack of manuscripts; there were also several gradually blurred ink characters on it that read "You Tu Fang is in the water..." ”; On the drawing, new lines are also marked and extended.
Jiang Tian took out this piece without hesitation, then put it on the copy paper and compared it detail by detail. Finally, it turned out that this re-marked and surveyed map of the distribution of sewer ditches in Youtufang was able to coincide with one corner of it.
At this moment, Jiang Tian was like a big child who got some interesting toy, suddenly filled with longing and impulse that couldn't wait to unlock the secret. But next, we need to wait for dawn to go to Chang'an County to collect relevant ditch distribution patterns around Youtufang.
The reason is also ready. Regarding the den of ferocious beasts that were once hidden in Youtu Square, the follow-up investigation is not over yet. Therefore, as long as Jiang Tian raised suspicions about Youtufang and that there might be other hidden escape routes, he could legitimately ask for assistance from Chang'an County. valley
However, stimulated by this unexpected discovery, he had completely lost his sleepiness at this moment. After confirming that Shun Qing was settled in the side house outside and was breathing steadily and falling asleep for a long time, he simply jumped out of the window and came to a tall green tree in the back garden.
Facing the faint gaps between the branches and leaves in the brilliance of the moonlight, I continued to practice the superposition ability of "guidance" and "endurance". Only this time, there was an additional exercise of sending and receiving "dimensional bubbles"; because, after traveling through another world in time and space in his dream, he was able to confirm it again.
The power that comes from one's own is the only basis for standing in the times. Therefore, Jiang Tian's body flickered like an afterimage, constantly passing through the gaps between the branches and leaves of the treetops with the sword light; and as the switching gradually became more skillful and smooth, there were actually not many branches and leaves broken or knocked off.
Therefore, when the sky was about to turn white, Jiang Tian returned to the bedroom on the upper floor of the small building, covered with dew and a nest of chirping birds; Shun Qing, who was lying down, finally stopped tossing and turning.
However, this night was undoubtedly another sleepless night for many families in the north of Chang'an City. Especially after the only living beast and the complete corpse were sent through the silver gate at dusk in the afternoon; under the gray sky, there seemed to be many more cars and horses appearing on Suzaku Street than in the past. .
However, when Jiang Tian woke up naturally after sleeping until noon and ordered another lunch, which he was eating with gusto, he suddenly saw a reply from one of the two guards saying that he had come in at night. The thief had been interrogated overnight and had produced a preliminary confession.
According to this transcribed confession, the thief turned out to be an important member of the "Cang Que", a long-standing gang of thieves in Jingjian, Gyeonggi City. Its main activity is to steal those gardens and villas that are rarely guarded or sparsely occupied; therefore, Chang'an County has followed the clues to find the dens, accomplices, and the next family to sell the stolen goods.
But this result is obviously unsatisfactory because there are many doubts behind it. For example, the other party's performance was obviously too familiar and purposeful, and it did not appear to be a confession. It was just the result of following and observing for a long time and finally choosing this place on the spur of the moment.
However, Jiang Tian was about to go to Chang'an County Government to read the corresponding case files and graphics; by the way, he wanted to see if he could find any flaws in it. However, Guo Chongtao, the imperial censor of the Procuratorate, and General Zhu Bie of the Jinwu Lingwei Mansion, who came to visit him, disrupted his schedule.
"You're saying that you found clues from the ghost market outside the city during the comparison and reading of those two books, and you want to invite me to go and explore together?" Jiang Tian said with some surprise:
"To be fair to Jiang Sheng, I have no clue at the moment and plan to take advantage of your luck."
However, Guo Chongtao laughed at himself with a wry smile;
