The half-map left by Old Bachelor Grandpa was meant to save my life, as his letter explained. After seeing that map, I deduced that whoever possessed the other half was most likely the person who murdered him. But if the half-map in Qin Qing's possession turned out to be the bottom half of the map to the Dragon-Slaying Coffin Ancient Tomb, my previous deduction would fall apart.
That half-map had been kept inside the Tianji Lock all along, and since I was the one who delivered the final key, Qin Qing couldn't even have known of its existence. It was likely placed there by Qin Qing's grandfather. Furthermore, the memorial tablets of Qin Qing's ancestors were kept right here in the Qin Family Ancestral Hall, bearing a date indicating they were set up twenty years ago by Qin Qing's father! Because of this, that half-map could no longer serve as a clue for finding the murderer.
I secretly frowned, yet I firmly believed that an enormous secret must be hidden within this map. Only by finding the Dragon-Slaying Coffin could these mysteries be unraveled.
