Chapter 56 Episode 56: The Gift-Giving Old Eagle of the Sealed Room Gift Case?

  The Lan Gong Guan is surrounded by public green spaces, and the weather has been nice these days, so many people come to exercise. Generally, people's exercise time is fixed, yesterday at this point, today it will probably be around this time again.

  I asked many people, they all said they didn't see anything, only Old Ge said that his pigeon was greatly frightened yesterday, he suspected someone raised an eagle to deal with his pigeons.

  Ge Daye is a member of the Pigeon Association, he has been raising pigeons on the rooftop for many years. The flight trajectory of the pigeon group has always been high-altitude flying over the community, low-altitude gliding to Langongguan, when they are in good mood, they will land on the green space of Langongguan, preen and take off again, circling twice before returning home.

  Yesterday, a group of pigeons flew out, with the lead pigeon proudly leading his wife and children, followed by their companions, soaring in the blue sky. However, while gliding over the Chao Lan Mansion, the lead pigeon suddenly became alert, its eyes wide open as if it had seen something, and it made an emergency stop in mid-air, "zip"! It then turned around and fled with its wife, children, and companions.

  They ran back home, dove into the pigeon coop and counted. After confirming that all pigeons had returned, they never came out again. Today, the lead pigeon represented all members to tell Master Ge: They refused to come out for flying today.

  The above is a "cartoonized" version of what I did, it's more vivid this way.

  "A few days ago, someone threatened to raise an eagle to deal with our pigeons. I came today to see who was so cruel and really raised an eagle! Little girl, wasn't it you who did this?!" Old Man Ge has come to investigate today.

  I shook my head repeatedly, "Uncle Ge, look at me, do I look like someone who can afford to raise a large pet?"

  Ge Danye stared at me: "How do I look at you a bit guilty? Let me tell you, I'm raising homing pigeons, which are approved, neighborly agreed upon, and completely legal. Raising old eagles is illegal!"

  "Yes, yes," I hastily cleared up, "I'm also investigating, that 'eagle' from yesterday should have flown to my house too."

  "Ah! What did you break at home?"

  "That's not it," I added another thing, "Grandpa, did you see that 'eagle' with your own eyes?"

  "Nothing! Those who have the guts to do it don't have the guts to admit it! Just wait till I find that coward..."

  "We've all found each other, let's keep in touch." I quickly ran off and asked others instead.

  I spent a whole day making visits, and everyone said they didn't see anything, but a little kid said that yesterday at dusk the birds in the trees were startled and many of them flew up, this statement was confirmed.

  Won't be! An eagle brought gifts? This is going to perform Harry Potter!

  No way, it's theoretically impossible. An eagle is not small at all and is extremely rare in the city, so it would definitely attract attention and someone would have taken a photo of it by now. Moreover, if this assumption holds true, how could an eagle possibly hold onto a one-foot-square gift box with its claws?

  ……………………

  Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.

  "But... it's also impossible now, right..." The visit ended at dusk, and I muttered to myself as I circled around the Lan Mansion, hoping

  There was a new discovery. Suddenly, I saw a trembling foot in the grass under my house. As I walked closer, I heard someone groaning.

  I hastily pushed aside the greenery.

  "Third Uncle?"

  Jia Fa lay in the bushes, foaming at the mouth, his fingers trembling as he pointed upwards. I immediately understood what had happened and felt a pang of sympathy. "I understand, Third Water Brother, don't worry, it's not fatal if it's under 220v. I've been electrocuted before too, look at me now, I'm fine. So don't be afraid, you won't die..."

  "What... is... Jiajia... Cangmang? What... what... is... that?"

  I said: "It's Wang Yong's invisible anti-theft net. He thought it was dismantled, but he might not have had time to dismantle it when he left."

  Jia Fa's trembling fingers pointed to the sky, directly questioning the heavens: "This Wang...Wang Wang Yong, after all...after all...what kind of deity is he?!!"

  "But brother San Shui, what are you doing climbing on my window?" I asked.

  "Ah... Ah..." Dr. Jia's upper and lower teeth chattered, unable to utter a complete sentence.

  Chang Ge was saying that when Chang Shu walked over with a ladder, "They're all here. It was too late yesterday and I couldn't check carefully. As soon as I got off work today, I came to take a look while it's still bright. Is this what you guys were thinking? What happened to San Shui Ge, is he okay?"

  Chang Ge said, putting the ladder by the window... actually, if Chang Ge had brought a bamboo ladder, maybe nothing would have happened. But he just happened to bring the new aluminum extension ladder that the provincial government had just equipped them with...

  "Don't put it there!" I wanted to stop him, but was a bit too late.

  "Ah? Ah!!! The ladder has been set up against the anti-theft net, and Brother Chang, who was holding onto the ladder, suddenly fainted, and another person fell to the lawn."

  "What... what... is... what?"

  "Anti-theft net, invisible, installed by Wang Yong."

  His trembling fingers pointed towards the sky, directly questioning the heavens: "This Wang...Wang...Wang Yong, what...what...what...is his true identity?!!"

  ………

  Fortunately it's not 220V, otherwise we can't play happily together.

  Two men lay for a while, then Jia Fa got up first, his teeth chattering with fear, and came to pull Chang Ge. "You know now... how I am, don't call me San Shui brother again."

  My brother wailed at me, "You... you... why didn't you tell me earlier!"

  I didn't do it on purpose, "Brother Chang, you come here often, how was I supposed to know you didn't know?! Besides, you didn't get electrocuted yesterday!" Brother Chang was really lucky last night, probably many times he just barely missed getting shocked.

  "You... you didn't tell me... how was I supposed to know!"

  "I thought Wang Yong had told you!"

  "How could Wang Yong tell me!! That guy Wang Yong..."

  "Shh..." I told them to be quiet and leaned in to listen. There was a very faint sound. "Do you guys hear that?"

  What was it? They listened attentively for half a day, shook their heads and said "Nothing."

  I can't hear it now either, "Maybe I misheard."

  I brought them hot water, and the two of them drank some to calm down. Zhang insisted on not resting, and took advantage of the remaining daylight to study the invisible anti-theft system that Wang Yong had installed.

  Wang Yong's equipment is definitely not commercial goods. Chang Ge said that even the most advanced products in the high-end security market can't compare to half of its performance.
