Chapter 409: The Mystery Inside

Zuo Feng quietly stood in the shadow of a corner. At this moment, he could clearly see the main gate of Cheng's mansion from where he was.

The main gate looked normal, but Zuo Feng could feel a strong tense atmosphere. This place was even more weird than the last time he came. In a place so far away from Xinjun City, not only were there several people setting up stalls on the street, but there were also many more pedestrians.

Zuo Feng was naturally very alert when he arrived here. He carefully checked the front and back doors of the mansion. He originally thought that there was something wrong with these pedestrians. At this time, it was even more certain that there was a man dressed as a scholar in his sight. Zuo Feng had seen him once before at the back door. At this time, the man dressed as a scholar came to the main gate again.

And looking at his leisurely appearance, he seemed to be taking a walk here. It was because of his strange behavior that Zuo Feng was impressed by this person. At this time, the scholar walked into an alley and suddenly turned in. Looking at the direction, he was heading towards the street at the back door of Cheng's mansion.

The moment the scholar-dressed man turned and entered the alley, Zuo Feng saw that something was exposed under his wide robe, which turned out to be the scabbard of a long sword.

If Zuo Feng still couldn't see the problem at this time, he would be a real fool. These people were obviously here to guard the surroundings and pay attention to some suspicious people approaching the mansion. Even the pedestrians here were mostly arranged by them.

In addition to the black-clothed figures that appeared on the wall before, Zuo Feng felt that the Cheng Mansion was like a solid fortress, and it was not easy to invade. Zuo Feng estimated that even a small beast like Nifeng would find it extremely difficult to enter the Cheng Mansion.

With a sigh in his heart, Zuo Feng was ready to turn around and leave, but when he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly found several carriages slowly coming here. Because it seemed that they were about to enter the mansion, Zuo Feng suppressed the urge to leave and observed carefully again.

These carriages lined up in a long line, and when they arrived at the door, they were stopped by two warriors standing at the door. Zuo Feng watched intently as the two warriors approached and lifted the cloth covering the carriage, revealing the neatly stacked wood inside.

Zuo Feng couldn't help but think of the construction site that he saw when he walked along the alley of the mansion before.

'It seems that these convoys should be transporting various materials. I wonder if they have a fixed time for transportation. '

Seeing this, Zuo Feng couldn't help but think in his heart, and his eyes suddenly brightened when he looked at the carriages. But staring at the warriors intently, carefully checking the goods on the carriages, and even not missing every gap, Zuo Feng gradually frowned.

When the warriors finally checked the bottom of the carriage carefully before letting it go, Zuo Feng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. But he still held a glimmer of luck and continued to observe silently over there.

There were a total of eight carriages in the convoy. The first six carriages were transporting wood, and the last two carriages were transporting stone. Until the last carriage was inspected and slowly drove into the mansion, Zuo Feng also shook his head helplessly.

‘I originally thought that they would be negligent when checking the last few cars, but they would relax a little only when they checked the last few cars, but this does not mean that they would be so lax every time. ’

Zuo Feng muttered in his heart depressedly. It seems that this method is probably not feasible, so he had to leave here with a depressed face. Although Zuo Feng was unwilling to put the responsibility on others casually, the trouble this time was really caused by Su Yan. He now wanted to ignore the things here and let Su Yan find a way to solve it herself.

But Zuo Feng knew that this was just his idea under his anger for a while. Now letting Su Yan take action would only make things worse at most, but would not have any good effect.

Although the Jimin Medical Clinic where Amber was located was also very remote, it was far away from the Cheng family mansion. Zuo Feng also walked a long way before returning. When he arrived at the door, Zuo Feng saw the few surveillance people he had seen when he left in the morning again, but these surveillance people in front of him seemed a bit childish compared to the strict defense of the Cheng family mansion.

In addition, when Zuo Feng left in the morning, he had already figured out the position and perspective of the surveillance person. At this moment, he jumped into the courtyard at the right time.

Zuo Feng hesitated for a moment, but still took out the box of goods he had stolen in advance. Zuo Feng felt that it was better to keep the fact that he had the crystal storage secret as much as possible, because he still could not fully trust Su Yan, and he also believed that this crystal storage might become a means of saving his life in the future.

Amber and Li Yuan were not outside, and Zuo Feng guessed that it was Su Yan who ordered them to go back and rest. Zuo Feng flashed into the room holding the box of goods. He pretended to be very strenuous to move the goods all day. In fact, he had a strength of more than a thousand pounds in one hand, so how could he take the goods of less than two hundred pounds seriously.

As soon as Zuo Feng entered the room, Su Yan and Amber's eyes converged on him, and their concern was still genuine.

"What is this?"

The two asked the same question almost in unison, and their eyes naturally fell on the box in Zuo Feng's hand. Zuo Feng, who had been away for a day, actually did not return empty-handed. However, what the two were waiting for was definitely not the wooden box in Zuo Feng's hand, but real and useful information.

Zuo Feng smiled awkwardly. Of course he knew what the two wanted to know, but except for the news that he found possible animal patterns today, he really didn't have any valuable information.

Of course, Zuo Feng would not irritate the two of them in this way, but Amber would not do so. With Su Yan's temper, she would never "stop talking".

After hesitating for a moment, Zuo Feng said: "This is what I got at Shop No. 13 on the dock. Since there are no other clues, I can only steal this back and study it."

Seeing that the expression on Suyan's face had begun to deteriorate, Zuo Feng quickly turned to Amber and said, "Amber, can you see if this package can be left intact after being opened? Because I don't want to alert the other party, I will still do it tomorrow. Need to send the goods back.”

Amber nodded and said, "Let me take a closer look first."

After saying that, Amber lowered his head and looked through the outer packaging of the box. Zuo Feng ignored the plain face that glared at him and focused his attention on Amber. After a while, Amber said: "I seem to have seen this kind of packaging somewhere before. There should be no problem in re-wrapping it, but you must be careful when opening it to avoid any damage."

Zuo Feng also showed joy when he heard what Amber said, and then he and Amber worked together to unpack the outer packaging. The two of them were extremely careful and took a long time to open the package. After opening the package, I saw that there was a large wooden box inside, and the wooden box still had a shiny silver lock.

At this time, both Zuo Feng and Amber were helpless. Amber spread his hands helplessly and said, "Old man, I have no problem restoring the packaging, but there is nothing I can do about the lock. If it is broken open by force, anyone can see it. Gotta come out.”

Zuo Feng also shook his head helplessly. He naturally agreed with what Amber said and murmured in a low voice, "Is it possible that after spending so much effort and taking such a big risk, all the hard work will be in vain in the end!"

Just when Amber and Zuo Feng were unable to do anything, a pair of slender jade hands stretched out, holding a hairpin in their hands. I saw that the hairpin was accurately inserted into the keyhole. After some stirring, with a crisp "click" sound, the big shiny silver lock opened.

Amber and Zuo Feng had just come to their senses at this moment. They both looked at the owner of the jade hand and saw Su Yan with a look of disdain on his face.

Suyan rolled her eyes at Zuo Feng and then said: "You brat said it was an investigation, and you left for a whole day. When you came back with such a broken box, you said it was a clue. You are fooling a child!"

Before Su Yan could finish her words, Zuo Feng knelt down and gently opened the lid of the wooden box inside.

The moment the box was opened, two sudden sounds of "ah" and "eh" sounded at the same time, but Zuo Feng raised his head and looked at the two of them in confusion, because after seeing the things in the box, he was not only confused but also confused. All that's left is doubt.

I saw nine spaces separated by a square grid inside the box. From above, six round metal columns were placed directly above them. Zuo Feng was so surprised just because he couldn't see anything.

He originally judged that the items inside should be medicinal materials, but the weight didn't seem like it at all because it was too heavy. But now that he saw that it contained metal items, he was even more confused.

‘Does this kind of thing need to be protected from light, rain, and shock? It’s just a joke. ’

When he was thinking this, Zuo Feng stretched out his hand to grab one and take a look. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he heard a sharp "Don't move", which frightened Zuo Feng so much that his whole body froze.

Suyan's hand quickly grabbed Zuo Feng's wrist, threw it aside, and said angrily: "You know what this is, just grab it casually, don't you want to die? Even if you want to If you want to die, don’t drag me and Amber to accompany you.”

Zuo Feng was scolded so harshly by Su Yan. He didn't know what happened for a moment, but he could see that Su Yan should clearly know what the items in the box were.

At this moment, Amber's expression seemed to be recalling something. He was the one who made that soft "Eh" sound just now, and Suyan saw what was inside and let out a shocked "Ah" sound.

Suyan looked into the box with a hint of fear in her eyes, and slowly said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be a very powerful 'firearm'."

"firearm?"

"By the way, this definitely looks like a firearm."

Zuo Feng repeated doubtfully, but immediately heard Amber's voice. Apparently Amber had seen this thing before.
