After a few seconds, the light golden light curtain faded away, and then a figure wearing a black mask appeared.
This person is the elder of the Poison Fang organization, who sent a tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye to Tap Seac City to investigate the culprit who killed members of the organization.
"How are things going?" the figure wearing a black mask asked.
"Reporting to the elder, we have some clues now, but it will take some time to get to the bottom of it." said the tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye.
"Has the undercover agent I arranged in the city lord's palace in Tas City had any contact with you?"
"I have been in contact with him. It is precisely because of that brother's help that my investigation mission has made progress."
The figure wearing a black mask nodded, looked at the tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye, and waited for the other party's follow-up. If there was nothing else to report to him, he would turn off the communication device.
"Elder, during the days when I was investigating the murder of members of our organization, I accidentally found out a piece of news."
"what news?"
"The city lord of Tapashi City originally wanted to transport a batch of spiritual stones out of Tapashi City, but it was delayed due to floods caused by a heavy rainstorm. In the past few days, he is planning to arrange for people to transport the spiritual stones again."
"I know what you are talking about, but now because we have lost two capable generals in Tap Rock City one after another, we can no longer spare the time to plunder those spiritual stones."
The tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye heard what his boss said and knew that his boss had already planned to give up on looting the spiritual stones from Tapashi City. He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"Okay, if there is nothing else, let's do this for now. If there is any progress, please report to me in time." The figure wearing a black mask said.
"Okay, elder." The tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye nodded.
The communication device was interrupted. The tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye saw the image of his boss disappear. He immediately closed the communication link and left the dense forest where he was.
I looked up at the bright moon in the sky that was covered by dark clouds. Some of the moonlight shone through the gaps between the dark clouds into Tap Seac City, providing weak lighting for some places in Tap Seac City where lighting fixtures were not installed.
It was already approaching twelve o'clock at night. The tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye, who had been busy all day, thought for a while and then returned to the inn where he was staying.
Tomorrow morning, he would get up early and conduct surveillance outside the manor he was investigating tonight.
If everything goes well, the tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye feels that he should be able to complete the investigation task assigned to him by his boss in the next two or three days.
Hope everything goes well!

Early the next morning, the golden sun rose from the sky, and the darkness shrouding the earth was instantly dispelled.
The strange beasts that move at night yawned one after another when they saw the sun rising, and then started running to their nests. Next, it was their turn to sleep.
Not long after the sun rose, there were gradually more passers-by on the streets of Tap Seac City.
There were vendors who got up early and set up stalls to sell food, and there were also some guards who were changing their posts and heading to their duty stations.
Early in the morning, there was a small vendor pushing a cart and preparing to sell breakfast on the street. After coming out of his home, he walked quickly along the flat stone road to the place where he usually sells breakfast.
"Hey, why is there a carriage parked in front?"
A small vendor pushing a pushcart saw a carriage parked in the middle of the road ahead, and he couldn't help but feel doubtful.
At the same time, he was also very angry because the carriage was parked in the middle of the road and his breakfast cart could not pass by.
"Hey, what are you doing? The carriage is parked in the middle of the road so early in the morning. Move out of the way! I want to go there!"
Far away, a small vendor pushing a pushcart began to shout to the horse-drawn carriage parked in the middle of the road in the distance.
Unfortunately, the other party was indifferent and ignored him at all. He still parked the carriage in the middle of the road with no intention of moving away.
"Hey, what are you doing? Move the car quickly! If you don't move, I'm going to call the guards..."
Originally, the vendor pushing the cart was scolding the man who had parked the cart in the middle of the road, but when he got closer, he stopped talking before he could finish his words.
The vendor, who was unable to get to his usual breakfast spot quickly because someone was blocking his way, still had an angry look on his face.
As a result, when he saw clearly the person lying on his side in the carriage, all the angry expressions on his face disappeared and turned into a look of horror in an instant.
"There were fatalities."
The breakfast vendor looked at the figure with a dart stuck in his forehead and shouted in horror.
Then, he noticed that there was a person lying on the ground not far from the carriage.
"Two people died!"
The breakfast vendor yelled, then let go of his hands on the handle of the cart, turned around and ran away.
About ten minutes passed, and a sound of footsteps came from the entrance.
"Master Guard, they are right in front. The two dead people I saw are right in front." The vendor running at the front pointed forward and said to the guard who was called over by him.
We had just changed guard with our companions, and the guards who were patrolling the city were still yawning!
As a result, halfway through, they saw a man running towards them in a hurry and told them that he had met two murdered people.
When they heard that a murder had occurred, the yawning guards immediately cheered up and followed the vendor who came to report the crime to the scene.
"Tap tap tap..."
The guards who arrived at the scene checked the condition of the two deceased people, especially the one with a dart stuck in his forehead.
When the other party died, he was still holding a short knife tightly in his hand. From this situation, we can know some information, that is, before he died, the deceased should have thought about resisting his murderer.
"Go and tell the superiors what happened here..." the guard captain said to one of his subordinates, who nodded and quickly left the scene of the crime.
The vendor who stood aside and watched the guards investigating the two dead people opened and closed his mouth, not knowing how to speak.
As a passer-by, when he saw the two dead people, he went to the guards to report the crime. This was the only thing he, an ordinary person, could do.
Now that the guards have been found by him, the next thing has nothing to do with him.
He was going to sell breakfast to support his family, and now the carriage was blocking the middle of the road, so he couldn't push the cart through.
Valley Fu
It was obviously impossible to ask the guards in front of him to move the carriage blocking the road. After all, it might destroy the remaining evidence at the scene, so he was in a very difficult situation now.
The captain of the guard checked the deceased with the dart stuck in his forehead. He felt that this man seemed familiar to him, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"Captain, the deceased seems to be the new leader of the Iron Palm Gang over at the dock. I remember his name is Liu De."
Just as the guard captain was thinking about the identity of the deceased in front of him, one of his subordinates said something.
"It turns out to be him! I asked myself, "Why do I look so familiar to this person?" The guard captain was reminded, with an expression on his face that he turned out to be this person.
"Captain, do you think the reason why this person was killed here was because of some dispute between other people and their Iron Palm Gang?" The guard guessed and asked.
"There is a possibility." The guard captain thought for a moment and responded.
The reason why the guards in front of them felt that Liu De's death may have been caused by disputes between some forces was entirely because they, the guards, had seen many cases of gang leaders dying due to such reasons.
"Well, Sir Guard..." Just as the guards were discussing the murder, the vendor who was watching from the side suddenly shouted.
The guards looked at the peddler one after another and saw that the other person was hesitating and silent.
At this time, the captain of the guard noticed that the vendor glanced at the cart where he sold breakfast from time to time, and he immediately understood what was going on.
"Let's move the carriage to the side right now. You can get over there quickly!"
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." The vendor said with an excited expression on his face.
Later, with the help of the guards, the vendor, who was going to the market to sell breakfast, quickly pushed his trolley and left the scene of the crime.
Of course, before he left, his relevant identity information was also recorded by the captain of the guard. If he wanted to inquire about some information later, he would need the vendor's cooperation in the investigation.

"Dong dong dong..."
There was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
The waiter of the inn opened the door and walked into the guest's room with four pounds of chopped beef in sauce and a large jug of wine.
"Guest, I've put the sauce beef and wine you ordered here for you. If you need anything else, just call me anytime."
The waiter placed the tray in his hand on the table, then placed the sauced beef and wine on the tray for the guests, then spoke enthusiastically, and then left the room.
The tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye watched the waiter leave his room, then he came from the window to the table and sat down, and started eating his breakfast.
Outside the house, the waiter who served breakfast to the tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye muttered in his heart.
"I eat meat and drink wine early in the morning. This guest is really special! If it were me, I wouldn't be able to eat so much meat."
The muttering waiter left the guest accommodation area and walked to the back kitchen of the inn. Next, he would deliver breakfast to other guests.
The tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye, who ate meat and drank a lot, quickly consumed all the breakfast he had ordered.
After eating and drinking, the tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye burped, and then called the waiter to clear the table.
After everything was settled, he poured himself a large cup of tea and drank it in one gulp. Then he left the inn where he stayed and headed for the manor where he had gained nothing yesterday.
The bright sunshine makes people walking on the road unconsciously hide in the shade. Passers-by who come and go will squint their eyes involuntarily if they raise their heads and look at the bright golden sun in the sky.
The tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye walked out of the inn and walked towards the manor where he went yesterday with a clear goal.
After spending some time, he finally arrived at his destination. Because it was broad daylight, he could not get close to the manor for observation.
I looked around and there was no taller building around.
There is no way to look at the situation in the manor from a distance from some taller buildings.
Originally, Lin Fei and Wu Yin's manor was located in a remote place, and there were no neighbors around, which was a disadvantage.
But now it seems that when someone wants to monitor the situation in the manor without any neighbors, it becomes a good thing.
The tall man with an eyepatch on his right eye thought for a while, and finally decided to pretend to be a passerby passing by the gate of the manor, and walked back and forth through the manor to observe the situation inside the manor.

"twitter……"
When the sun rose, the spiritually awakened birds living in Lin Fei and Wu Yin's manor began to become more and more noisy.
They first flew out to have a feast, and then returned to the nest in the tree where they lived to make a fuss.
They were chasing each other and making crisp chirping sounds.
Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaoyu, who were sweeping the floor, heard the chirping of birds in the trees and looked up involuntarily.
"These little birds are so noisy!" Zhang Xiaoyu, who was holding the broom, said to Zhang Xiaohua next to her.
"Yes! I didn't think they were noisy before, but recently, I feel like their chirping is much louder than before."
Zhang Xiaohua recalled the past calls of these birds, compared them, and found that there were some differences.
Of course it is different. These birds had not awakened spirituality before and were just ordinary birds. Now that they have awakened spirituality and contain spiritual energy, they will naturally become more powerful when they sing.
Three maids, who are just ordinary people, naturally have no way of knowing the changes that have happened to these birds living in their own homes.
"It is indeed more cheerful and louder than before. It's really strange..." Zhang Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Will they disturb Mr. Lin and Miss Wu who are sleeping like this?"
Zhang Xiaohua thought for a while and said, "Miss Wu probably won't be disturbed because she doesn't sleep very late and gets up early.
It’s true that Mr. Lin likes to sleep in, but I don’t know if he will think these birds are disturbing him.”
"What are you talking about?" When Zhang Xiaohua and Zhang Xiaoyu were looking at the birds jumping on the branches, chirping endlessly, and chirping loudly, a beautiful sound suddenly came from behind them.
A pleasant sound.
"Miss Wu, good morning." When the two maids heard the familiar voice, they immediately turned their heads and greeted their mistress one after another.
