style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>It has now been learned
that within just hours of the discovery of the murder of Lord Fun Shui, a
trusted minister of the Court in Bonwicke, the <st1:PersonName w:st="on">Trelac
Civic Guard</st1:PersonName> contacted and arranged to contract the services
of Brother Cadfael of Abbott's Abbey to investigate the circumstances
around the murder of Lord Shui. The Trelac Guard had earlier enlisted the
services of Father Cadfael to investigate the possible poisonings of
Trelac resisdents due to the consumption of moldy bread from the Trelac Bakery. Brother
Cadfael is no stranger to solving mysteries and has solved many mysteries
during his stay at the Abbey. Brother Cadfael immediately contacted Hu Nu
Noe Ting, the investigator in charge in Bonwicke, and got permission to examine
the crime scene. One of the things that Brother Cadfael immediately
noticed was that Lord Shui was fully dressed when he was killed, but he was not
wearing shoes. As it was known that Lord Shui possessed an especially
beautiful pair of shoes that he was always seen wearing, this seemed rather
peculiar. A search of the premises also failed to locate said shoes.</span></font></span><font

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span class=yshortcuts><font size=4 color=black face=Arial><span
style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:black'>As luck would have it, a
stranger visiting Trelac only 3 days after the death of Lord Shui was spotted
wearing the same said shoes. Upon arrest by the Trelac Guard and after
some "persuasive questioning," Robert Cutter, as he later identified
himself, admitted to killing Lord Shui and stealing the before mentioned
shoes. It seems that Cutter has a bit of a shoe fetish himself, and could
not resist such as beautiful pair of shoes as those possessed by Lord
Shui. Under further questioning, Cutter revealed that Lord Donald Keyes
had paid him to kill Lord Shui and plant the incriminating blue and white cloth
as evidence against Trelac in hopes of starting a war between Bonwicke and
Trelac. The Trelac Guard is at this time desperately trying to locate
Lord Keyes, verify these claims, and try to advert an unnecessary war
between Bonwicke and Trelac. But, as armies march forth to
battle one another, it may be too little too late.</span></font></span><font
