When Zhao Ya and Qin Feng came back, it was almost dawn.
After a long night, the insects and birds started chirping. A new day was about to begin.
This meant that Ying Feiyang only had two days and one night left. Not only did he have to find the God of Venomous Venomous Worms, but he also had to get the cure from him so that Xie Lingyan could get rid of the host body of the mother venomous worm. Time was not on his side.
So when the two monsters returned, Ying Feiyang asked directly, "How is the investigation going?"
There was not much time left, but Qin Feng still did not care. He teased without a care in the world, "There are two pieces of news. The good news is that Chu Song left the guest room where Tieshan died and went to the library, and she returned to the guest room after Ying Feiyang was killed by Young Master. All of this happened a moment before noon. As Chu Song said, it would take about 15 minutes to cure the poison she left behind. And between a moment before noon and noon, most of the sisters were either searching for Ying Feiyang or gathering to avoid danger. Their whereabouts could be known. During this period, there were only six people in the village who could not prove their whereabouts. "
The number of suspects was much lower than expected. Ying Feiyang's eyes brightened. He asked again, "Oh? Which six are they? "
Qin Feng spread his hands and said, "This is the bad news. Who wanted to find the thief would find themselves. There are six monsters in total, and two of them are standing in front of you."
"You and Zhao Ya?"
"Yes, Sister Ya and I are two, Han Fu is one, and the remaining three …" Qin Feng raised his chin and said, "Well, they are all in the library now."
"Library?"
Zhao Ya nodded and replied, "Yes, Wei Meng and Miao Er know too much. I was afraid that they would not know the severity of the situation and would not be able to control their mouths, so I let them stay in the library temporarily under the supervision of the secretary, Yu Youshu."
"Yu Youshu … She copied the Encyclopedic Insect Encyclopedia, but the key page was torn out. Maybe she has some clues." Ying Feiyang pondered for a moment and made up his mind. He said, "Since it's like this, then follow this Young Master to the library. Once we've arrived at the library, we'll explain our whereabouts clearly."
With that, Ying Feiyang led the three beauties to the library.
Although it was close to the hour of the morning, the weather was gloomy and the sky brightened later than usual. So far there was not even the slightest hint of dawn. A gloomy autumn day was the best time to sleep. The demons in the manor had been dragged up in the middle of the night and questioned about their whereabouts. Now was the time for them to go back to sleep. All of them were in a beautiful dream, completely unaware that the manor was already in danger.
There was not a single demon on the road. The magnificent and majestic Jinping Mountain Villa appeared somewhat quiet and oppressive. Not long after, the corner of the eaves of the library could be faintly seen under the curtain of night. The beautiful arc outlined the shape of a wing, like a peacock flapping its wings and wanting to break through the oppressive curtain of sky.
Then, there really was a grey shadow, quietly flying out of the library!
Ying Feiyang focused his eyes and saw that it was actually a grey pigeon.
Ying Feiyang learned from Gongzi Ling that the attic of the library was the pigeon house, responsible for sending and receiving letters. The female demon of the manor was not very literate. Due to her bookworm nature, she liked to copy and write the most. She was in charge of the daily sending and receiving of letters.
And because of her eccentric personality, she stayed in the library for a long time. So she simply moved the pigeon house to the attic of the library. The messenger pigeons of the manor were also under her control.
But why would there be pigeons flying out at this time? Could it be that she was secretly sending a letter to someone?
Ying Feiyang and the three beauties exchanged glances. They confirmed that it was not them who instructed it.
Watching as the pigeon melted into the night, leaving behind only a blurry grey dot that was difficult to detect, Ying Feiyang nodded at Qin Feng. Qin Feng immediately leapt up and flew swiftly towards the pigeon.
On the other hand, Ying Feiyang walked quickly and directly broke into the library when he arrived.
At the corner of the staircase of the library, he saw the 'nest' formed by a large pile of books. This was supposed to be a sleeping place for Gongzi Ling, but now there were only two girls, Wei Meng and Miao Er, sleeping in their clothes. There was no sign of Gongzi Ling. Wei Meng and Miao Er were woken up by the noise. They were rubbing their sleepy eyes, but when they saw that it was' Gongzi Ling ', they quickly got up and combed their hair to greet him.
"Zhao Ya, take care of them." Ying Feiyang had no time to pay attention to them. He left Zhao Ya to calm the two girls down while he led Chu Song upstairs.
When he pushed open the door of the attic, he was greeted by a wave of noise. It was like a different world from the quiet and secluded library downstairs.
The attic was only a few meters in circumference, but it was soundproof. There were pigeon cages on both sides, and in the middle, a female demon was bending over and feeding pigeons. When she sensed Ying Feiyang's arrival, she patted the pigeon feed in her hands and went forward to greet him. She said, "Gongzi, why have you come to such a dirty place so early in the morning?"
The female demon was a little unkempt. Her face was pale, as if she had not seen the sun for a long time. The official secretary, Gongzi Youshu, was the same as the last time he saw her. He was still cold and indifferent, as if he was unwilling to interact with others. Even when he was greeting her, there was a sense of alienation. It did not change even though his identity had changed from Ying Feiyang to Gongzi Ling.
Ying Feiyang said, "Aren't you the same? You came here early in the morning to feed the pigeons. "
Gongzi Youshu explained, "Gongzi, you may not know this, but the pigeons in the villa are fed in the morning and at noon. They are released in the evening, so they have formed a habit. Once it's five in the morning and five in the afternoon, they will call out for food on time. If they are fed a little later, they will be noisy."
"Hah, birds, their temperament is really hard to please! You have worked hard. " Although Ying Feiyang was talking about pigeons, he was thinking of Gongzi Ling in the form of a peacock. Thinking of how Gongzi Ling had pushed him to the front of the stage, he could not help but sigh.
Gongzi Youshu said, "You can't say that. Pigeons are born to remember the time. It's as if there is a time clock installed in their bodies. When they fly, they can identify the direction according to the position of the sun. Cultivating their habit of eating on time is also helpful for sending letters. Therefore, I dare not slack off even for a day."
Ying Feiyang raised his eyebrows and got to the point, "So, around noon yesterday, you were also feeding the pigeons?"
Gongzi Youshu nodded, "Yes, after finding the Encyclopedic Encyclopedia of Insects for Chief Chu, I estimated that it was almost time, so I began to prepare to feed the pigeons. Since then, I have been in the pigeon house."
"The sky has been turned upside down outside, but you can still keep your composure."
Gongzi Youshu said lightly, "The matters outside will be taken care of by the chiefs. Moreover, with Gongzi here, even if the sky is really turned upside down, Gongzi can still turn it back with one hand. I only need to do my job well."
Ying Feiyang did not accept Gongzi Ling's praise from Gongzi Ling. He asked again, "You said that you were in the pigeon house, who can prove it?"
Gongzi Youshu shook his head, "If the pigeons can talk, they can prove it for me."
Ying Feiyang looked around again and saw that the window was half open. Through the window, he could see the entire courtyard in front of the library. He pointed to the maple tree in the courtyard and asked, "Zhao Ya said that she was injured by Ying Feiyang and is resting under the tree to recover. Have you seen her?"
Gongzi Youshu tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "I did see her there at noon, but I did not pay attention to her after that."
Ying Feiyang thought again and said, "A page of the Encyclopedic Encyclopedia of Insects you copied was torn off, and you live in the library all day long. Do you know who could tear off a page without attracting your attention?"
Gui Youshu shook his head and said, "The library is not an important place, and the books I copied are not filed and organized. Moreover, I feed the pigeons upstairs every day. Anyone can tear the books during this time."
Ying Feiyang couldn't help but frown when he didn't receive any useful information. He said bluntly, "Do you know that you're a suspect now? If you can't provide some convincing words to clear your name, it will only make my performance worse!"
Gongzi Youshu still said indifferently, "Although I don't know what Gongzi is suspecting, I have a clear conscience and have nothing to hide."
"Nothing to hide?" Ying Feiyang chuckled and pointed forward, saying, "That cage seems to be empty. When I came, I saw a carrier pigeon flying over from afar. Are you in a hurry to send a message for someone before dawn?"
As Ying Feiyang spoke, he stared at Gongzi Youshu and saw her expression slightly stagnant.
The pigeons in the cage seemed to be waiting for food for a long time and bumped against the pigeon cage impatiently.
It was only for a moment, but the sound of pigeons fluttering made her come back to her senses. Gongzi Youshu chuckled and said, "It's not dawn yet, how can there be a letter to send? I accidentally knocked off the cage when I was feeding the pigeons and let a carrier pigeon fly out. "
Ying Feiyang said noncommittally, "Oh? Really? "
"Gongzi, you don't believe me?"
"Ha, whether I believe it or not, it depends on what she says." Ying Feiyang looked out of the window.
As soon as he finished speaking, a slender figure broke through the window and entered. It was Qin Feng. She carried a grey pigeon in her arms and said, "Gongzi, I caught the pigeon."
"Manager … Manager Qin?" Gongzi Youshu was shocked. She was no longer indifferent. It was unknown if it was because of Qin Feng's sudden intrusion or something else.
But as Qin Feng arrived, the atmosphere became tense and the pigeons in the cage became more and more uneasy. The cries of the pigeons were endless and they bumped against the cage as if trying to escape.
Ying Feiyang glanced at Gongzi Youshu and saw her pupils constrict. He said, "Qin Feng, tell her, what message did the pigeon bring?"
"Gongzi, there is nothing on the pigeon," Qin Feng replied calmly but what she said was unexpected.
"Nothing?"
"That's right, there is nothing on it," Qin Feng repeated.
"Whoosh —" A gust of cold wind blew in through the broken window, dispersing the oppressive atmosphere and making it even weirder. Only the pigeons in the cages were still banging against the iron cages, banging and banging and banging and banging …
After a moment of silence, Gongzi Youshu bowed to resolve the awkwardness. "Thank you, Manager Qin, for getting the pigeon back for me. Just give it to me."
At that moment, there was a sudden "crack". One of the pigeons in the cage knocked a hole in the metal cage and flew out. Once the exit was made, the second, third, and fourth pigeons flew out one after another …
But the pigeon did not flee after it was pulled out. Instead, it flapped its wings and flashed its claws like a hawk that had broken out of a gate. With a fearless and intimidating aura, it charged towards Gu Youshu, clawing and pecking without any regard for its face.
"Be careful!"
Ying Feiyang sensed something was wrong and pulled Chu Song behind him. At the same time, he waved his sleeves and attacked the flock of pigeons.
Seeing this, Qin Feng also made a move. For a moment, the small attic was filled with Qi and pigeon feathers fell like falling snow.
But when all the feathers fell, Gongzi Youshu was already on the ground. The feathers covered her like a blanket, allowing her to sleep peacefully …
