I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 578 Lost
"Gone?"

"It's broad daylight."

"No, it's really gone? But I didn't hear anything else last night!"

Surprised discussions sounded, because Xu Qianhu personally led people to guard the door, and everyone could not enter the house to check with their own eyes, but everyone rested in the carriage last night, but no one fell asleep.

The room where things are stored is right under everyone's noses. Except for the five ghosts' moving technique, everyone can't figure out how the hundred or so things got lost.

Qiu Huaixin was also dumbfounded, and patted Shi Song on the shoulder, "Did you notice anything unusual last night?"

Although Shi Song was also in the carriage, unlike Qiu Huaixin who took a tired nap, Shi Song didn't close his eyes all night, listening to the movement outside the carriage from time to time, lest someone would assassinate Qiu Huaixin.

Besides, Zhan Feiyu's carriage is the closest to the house, and Qiu's carriage is in the second place. Not to mention that there are people from the third division guarding outside, and there are even archers from the Qianzhong Guards on the fence. Shi Song didn't hear any movement. , These more than 100 items were lost without anyone noticing, and Shi Song was also surprised.

"There was no movement last night." Shi Song replied affirmatively.

My skill may not be one of the best, but it is definitely better than ordinary Lianjiazi. I didn't hear the movement, and neither did the other guards guarding outside the carriage. Including the government, there were at least four or fifty people here last night. It is impossible for people to not notice the abnormality.

Qiu Huaixin nodded, and looked sideways at the room not far away, "Is there a mechanism in this room?"

Not only Qiu Huaixin thought so, but everyone else thought the same, but Xu Qianhu was guarding the door, and no matter how curious they were, it was impossible for everyone to enter the house to check.

He Nuan was only surprised for a moment, and then he still stayed beside Zhan Feiyu every step of the way, and even raised his vigilance. The more this is the case, the more vigilant it is, maybe there will be accidents.

Uneasy, He Nuan whispered to Zhan Feiyu who was behind him: "Miss, it's better to wait in the carriage."

If the more than 100 items were not lost and they were all returned to the government, Zhan Feiyu and others who had waited all night to verify their identities could leave. After all, they all came to bid with Sheng Xuan in a fair manner.

But apart from the remaining 120 of the [-] items, including the just broken clay pot, the remaining [-] items are missing, and the government must investigate to the end.

In this way, it was impossible for Zhan Feiyu and the others to leave easily, and they might suspect that they were thieves, after all, their carriage was parked outside the house all night.

Hurried footsteps sounded, and it was Commander She who walked in the front. At this moment, he didn't care about his rank or inferiority. His face was covered with clouds and his eyes were frightening, and the murderous aura around him was undisguised. Many people were so frightened that their legs went weak when they saw it.

Lord Qiu and Lord Ge followed closely behind. The two high-ranking adults also looked ugly. The soldiers guarding the house were dispatched from the third division, and they also played a role of mutual supervision, but who would have thought that such a strict defense Still something went wrong.

Master Qiu just glanced at Zhan Feiyu and Qiu Huaixin from the corner of his eye, and then strode into the room.

There is a sequence of hearing, and there is a specialization in the art. In fact, Mr. Ge is an expert when it comes to investigating cases. There is no need for Mr. Qiu to speak at this meeting. As soon as Mr. Ge entered the room, he began to investigate the scene bit by bit.

The house is not too big, it was built by shopkeeper Jia of He Shengxuan for charity, it just happened to be built in the corner of the wall, even if there are a lot of people when the common people donate porridge, it will not affect He Shengxuan's normal life Business.

"There are no windows in the house. The door was always open last night." Mr. Ge looked at the small room. There was a round table and two chairs on the left side of the room, and a group of wooden carved cabinets on the right side. The rice, grain and cloth used to store almsgiving are usually left vacant.

"Unless it is the means of a god, who can steal things under the noses of dozens of people!" Commander She stood at the door and looked outside.

On the left is a neat row of more than a dozen carriages. Less than two feet away from the door of the house is the fire, which is still smoking.

Last night, the people from Sansi were guarding the house by the fire, under the eyes of more than a dozen people, even a fly that flew in could see it clearly.

As for the fence on the left side of the carriage, archers squatted to guard it, which also prevented the possibility of someone jumping over the fence and sneaking in. As for the open space on the right side of the house, there was a whole row of deer villages to prevent enemies from attacking from here. snatch.

Commander She turned around and looked at Mr. Ge who was checking the cabinets in the room, "This room is not far from a secret room, how did things get lost? I'm afraid it's not the five ghosts but the inner ghost!"

Even a thief would not be able to steal things in full view, the point is not one or two, but a total of one hundred and two, small items can be carried with you, but some of those ornaments are more than two feet high, How to steal and how to hide?
Even if there was a means to steal things out of the house, but there were swords and swords outside, people from the third division, arresters from the Qianzhong government office, soldiers from the guard, and soldiers patrolling from time to time. The surroundings of Xuan were sealed off, and even if this thing was stolen, it could not be transported out.

Master Qiu ignored Commander She's insinuations, looked at Master Ge with a heavy face and asked, "Is there a secret room in the house?"

This is the only possibility Mr. Qiu can think of, so what if there is an inner ghost?The guards of the house are composed of people from the third division, and there can only be one or two ghosts inside, not all of them!

Besides, besides the people from the Third Division, there are twenty or thirty guards outside, not to mention others, Mr. Qiu thought that Zhan Feiyu had four other guards with He Nuan. Forbidden Dragon Guard, they were less than ten feet away from the house, someone sneaked in and stole hundreds of things, He Nuan and the others could not have noticed.

What Mr. Qiu didn't say is that Qiu Huaixin also stayed outside all night. Others may find something abnormal and don't report it. It is absolutely impossible for Qiu Huaixin to hide it.

After confirming that there were no problems with the cabinets, Mr. Ge was tapping the wall with the handle of the knife, inch by inch, listening carefully to the sound. The dull sound meant that the wall was solid and there could be no mechanism.

After Mr. Ge checked the walls, he started to check the ground again. The owner behind He Shengxuan is the royal merchant Liu's family, not bad for money. Even if it is just an ordinary room, the ground is paved with blue bricks. .

It was already two quarters of an hour after Mr. Ge checked all the floor tiles. There were no problems with the walls and the ground. The three adults in the room couldn't help but looked up at the roof again.

"Yuan Cheng, go to the roof to check it!" Lord Qiu spoke, and Lord Ge also sent Qin Feng, the most capable subordinate of the inspector, to the roof one after the other.

Zhan Feiyu outside the house also looked up like everyone else. Although he couldn't see the roof, he didn't need to think about it to know that there was no secret passage in the house.

"If there is any movement on the roof, we will definitely find out." Qiu Huaixin frowned and looked at Mr. Qiu standing at the door.

If something happened, my father would definitely be held accountable by the court, and hundreds of things were stolen under such mobilization, and no officials on Qianzhong Road could escape the court's accountability.

Zhan Feiyu didn't answer but looked at He Nuan.

"There were people squatting on the roof last night, and the movement from the roof into the house will be very loud." After He Nuan parked the carriage here last night, he immediately observed the surroundings. Not only were there archers on the fence, but there were also two on the roof. The archer, and squatted all night, did not leave until after dawn.

It was dawn, and if someone landed on the roof, everyone would be able to see it in broad daylight. Xu Qianhu arranged for people to guard the roof last night because he was worried that someone would enter the house through the roof under the cover of night.

"There's no way to steal so many things once you've gone in, and you can't send them out after you've stolen them!" Qiu Huaixin answered, he's not a Lianjiazi, but he also knows that no one can steal the things in the house so silently .

There are more than 100 pieces, if one person steals it, it is estimated that he will be busy all night. Could it be that the soldiers around are all blind and deaf, and none of them can hear anything.

If several people steal together, Qiu Huaixin feels it is even more impossible.

Last night, all the people who were able to move around freely were from the government, and they were all in teams of several people. Although the soldiers of the Commanding Division had the largest number of people in a team, the Commanding Division and the Chasing Division would send people to follow them. Supervision, so it is impossible for someone to steal these things from the eyes and ears of the third division.
