Chapter 21: The Dated Pages
Mo Chengyan read the first sheet to three hundred people in a voice he kept level by force.
"A Prince's alchemist's boy was found at the door of a cauldron room, on his side, with his hands curled in front of him."
He read the second line, and the third, and the fourth.
In the lower row, a girl began to cry without a sound.
He reached the fifth line, and it did not come.
He had read it in a loft and a cellar and on a mountain road.
He had never read it aloud to anyone but the wall.
The Hall waited.
Mo looked at the paper.
The words were the same words, and he made his mouth form them.
"Tell my brother the third jar is still under the plum tree."
His voice broke on the last word.
Nobody moved.
Beside the Inspector's table, a small man in a guild apron held a ledger to his chest in both arms.
Liang had brought him up the stair at dawn.
"The guild's date," Mo said, and held up the stamp.
"The second day of the tenth month." The clerk's voice shook. "Twelve years ago. It is entered. I have the page."
The Inspector held out his hand, and the ledger crossed the floor.
The Inspector read the line.
He compared it with the stamp on the sheet, and then he made a mark.
"Continue."
Mo took the next sheet, and then the one after.
He read a scene in a lower hall with nine pits cut in a white jade floor.
