Book 3: Chapter 72: Inferences

We made some casual inferences by throwing out some details that werent imperative to our investigation.

First, there was the lacquer painting on the back of the coffin lid that drew a very exquisite map. Among the patterns, a secret path leading to the worlds second most valuable tomb was clearly marked out. And in that place, there were two dancing girl figurines that acted as markers.

I remembered the poses that these two dancing girls were in very clearly.

Shen Qianjue and her partner had marked all of the male and female dancing figurines in this underground palace with lipstick. Was this a coincidence? I didnt think so. They must have also learned this information and were looking for the dancing girls as well.

Whenever they found a dancing figurine, they must have looked to see if there was a tunnel under its feet. If there wasnt one, then they would mark it off. That was what these marks were for.

So, did they really leave here and give up on continuing forward? Or maybe they failed to find the dancing girl figurines and returned empty handed? Or maybe there was something else they didnt mention to us? When we were talking on the satellite phone, were they really thousands of kilometers away in an apartment in the city? Or was there something else going on?

Speaking of which, marks were actually really amazing. These kinds of small notches sometimes contained a lot of information, but they could still accurately be delivered to a certain person.

To the one who knew the mark.

I suddenly remembered something and asked Poker-Face, "Those marks I dont understand, who are they for?"

Poker-Face, who was still looking in the direction of the coffin, turned his head slightly when he heard my question but didnt answer me.

These footprints were very strange. If they had searched all of the dancing figurines, then they must have found the entrance. So why dance here? What was the point?

I felt as if there was a very logical explanation for thisin other words, there werent any secret passages under any of the dancers, but two people were dancing on the map, so they had both danced as well.

And Xiao Hua had also danced in another spot.

Dancing was obviously a clue, so according to the general situation, wed have to dance and see what happened next.

Poker-Face looked at me and I immediately knew what he meant. "If someone has to dance, then the three of us should do it together," I said to him while thinking to myself, you can cut ghosts, cant you dance?

Fatty suddenly spoke up from the side, "No, I can't dance without a pole."

At this time, Poker-Face stood up, moved to Shen Qianjues footprints, and squatted down again.

I stared blankly for a moment, seriously? Then I made a move like I was pulling radishes.

After I was finished, I was very surprised at the fact that I still remembered the move. I must have taken kindergarten very seriously back in the day.

Ha, wonder what Fatty's stripper name would be? ()
