Even if you stand on the ninth floor of the Goddess Tower, the ground is still more than ten meters high from the top of the tower. The platform built by Qin Jiyan's subordinates is also nearly ten meters high...
Qin Jiyan stopped Gu Qiancheng and took the initiative to go there to investigate the situation. Of course, it was not because he had this hobby, but because Qin Jiyan was worried that it would be unsafe for Gu Qiancheng to stand on it, so he went into battle himself.
In fact, Qin Jiyan's worries are completely unnecessary. His people are very reliable in their work. Although it is a temporary high platform built with broken wooden boards and stones, it is very stable. Not to mention one Gu Qiancheng, there are two Gu Qiancheng.
If you stand on top of the city, nothing will happen.
However, there will be a slight danger when climbing up. It is definitely not an easy task for Gu Qiancheng...
It didn't matter to Qin Jiyan. He already had a foundation in martial arts. For him, a high platform of about ten meters was just a matter of a few leaps. Qin Jiyan easily jumped up and stood on the high platform...
It has to be said that martial arts skills add to a man's charm. Qin Jiyan's movements when he jumped onto the high platform were so smooth and free that Gu Qian had the urge to clap and applaud...
Qin Jiyan, who was standing on the high platform, had no idea that his unintentional move would actually win the applause of Gu Qiancheng. Qin Jiyan was currently looking for traces on the roof beams.
Qin Jiyan's eyesight was very good and he was attentive enough. He soon saw that between the two roof beams, there were rows of tracks. These tracks were semicircular and had several deep scratches inside, like
It's something like thin wire left behind, and...
Qin Jiyan reached out and took out a round iron ball from under the roof beam. There was a groove in the middle of the round iron ball, and both ends just stuck in the track groove. Qin Jiyan tried it and found that it was very easy to move.
Seeing this, Qin Jiyan understood without thinking that Gu Qiancheng's guess was right...
After checking it, Qin Jiyan didn't stay long and jumped down on his tiptoes. As soon as he stood firm, Gu Qiancheng stepped forward: "How is it?"
"There is a row of tracks on top, and there are many new scratches inside. It should be as you think. The murderer used something like wire to walk, so he would not leave any footprints in the tower." Qin Jiyan pointed to the top of the tower.
, and even gestured at the location of the track...
The steps in the Goddess Tower rotate upwards, and the tracks are also like this, going round and round...the arc is the same as the steps in the tower.
"This shows that the witnesses were right. When the deceased jumped from the tower, there was indeed a second person in the tower." Gu Qiancheng did not believe in the theory of gods and ghosts at first.
"That's right." Qin Jiyan nodded: "The deceased was not introduced into the Goddess Tower by the murderer. The murderer used these tracks to hide the traces of his appearance. After he led the deceased up to the tower, he led the deceased outside the tower step by step. He
There must be a place to stand outside the tower."
Gu Qiancheng nodded in agreement: "The deceased jumped from the tower at the same location, which means the murderer could only stay in that place. Let's... let someone check."
Gu Qiancheng took Qin Jiyan's hand and walked towards the place where the deceased jumped from the tower...
Gu Qiancheng's hand still had some thick bamboo slips that had not fallen off, making his fingers itch slightly. Qin Jiyan felt that his heartbeat seemed to be speeding up, but unfortunately...
Before Qin Jiyan could think about it carefully, the destination had arrived. Gu Qiancheng immediately let go of Qin Jiyan and stepped forward to check...
The place where the deceased jumped from the tower was an observation deck on the ninth floor of the Goddess Tower. The observation deck stretched out of the tower and was held up by a half-human high wall. Unless you were stupid and stood on it...
It won't fall down easily.
After Gu Qiancheng let go of Qin Jiyan, he lay on the low wall and leaned out to check...
Gu Qiancheng dared to do this, so he was naturally confident, but didn't others know?
Qin Jiyan saw that most of Gu Qiancheng's body was hanging out. He was startled and quickly pulled him back: "It's too dangerous. I will let someone go see..."
"Okay." Gu Qiancheng was very cooperative. She had already tried it. If she didn't hang it outside the observation deck, she wouldn't be able to see the mystery behind it...
Qin Jiyan summoned the guards. After the guards learned of Qin Jiyan's request, they went down to get the rope without saying anything...
There was a rope on the carriage, but the rope was too thin and not safe at all, so the guard had to go to a nearby village to buy it.
Fortunately, farmers can have things like thick ropes. After spending a lot of money, the guard bought three large bundles of ropes and quickly ran towards the top of the Goddess Tower...
They thought that His Highness the King of Qin would be unhappy after it took such a long time, but it turned out that they had thought too much. His Highness the King of Qin was discussing the case with Gu Qiancheng and did not notice the passage of time at all.
The guard touched his nose, not daring to disturb Qin Jiyan, and quietly wrapped the rope around his body. After waiting for a long time, he did not receive Qin Jiyan's order, so he had no choice but to step forward: "Your Highness, we are ready."
Qin Jiyan raised his head, glanced at it, and nodded: "Go down."
"Yes." The guard did not dare to delay any longer. The man who tied the rope, under the double protection of his companions, slid down the low wall and hung outside the tower...
There was a rope tied around the man's waist and a rope tied around his feet. It was absolutely safe and there was no need to worry.
Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng retreated tacitly, leaving the space clear so as not to affect the movements of the guards...
The observation deck is not big. If there is any abnormality, you will quickly find it. Not long after the guard went down, he heard him say: "Your Highness, there is a stone outside the tower that is concave. The color is the same as the one next to it. If it wasn't
If you look closely, you won't notice it at all."
This is enough to show that that place is indeed unusual.
Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng were still waiting for further reports from the other party, but the result...
"Ah..." The guard who was exploring outside the tower suddenly screamed, and the next second he heard other guards yelling: "No, there is a hidden weapon, Yan Xiaosi is injured."
"Quick, pull this person up."
"Don't move, the knife is stuck in his flesh."
"It's a critical injury, and it bleeds very quickly."
…
The guards were extremely nervous. Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng looked at each other and immediately stepped forward to check. After understanding the situation, they both breathed a sigh of relief...
Yan Xiaosi, the guard who climbed out of the tower, was not seriously injured, but was in trouble.
His left arm was pierced by the sword blade that suddenly shot out from the wall. The other end of the sword blade was still embedded in the wall and could not be pulled out. Yan Xiaosi was nailed to the wall by the sword blade.
The blade was very long and extremely sharp, and it completely pierced Yan Xiaosi's arm. The guards did not dare to pull, for fear of causing secondary damage to Yan Xiaosi.
The reason why Yan Xiaosi got hit was not because he was not cautious enough, but because no one thought that if he poked the hole on the right hand side, a sword blade would shoot out from the wall on the left hand side...
