Chapter 266: The Unsolved Case
Two months passed in a flash.

It's late at night!

Midnight, four o'clock.

The Cultural and Creative Park had already fallen asleep, and the riverside road was quiet, without even a single person in sight.

Unlike the prosperity of other places in Shuangqing City, the riverside road in the area of ​​the old factory building of Sangang General Factory is not a very important road section. Before the construction of the cultural and creative park, there were not many cars during the day, let alone at night.

At night, after the Cultural and Creative Park closes, it’s hard to find even a ghost on Binjiang Road.

Zhang Jingyi jumped down from the second floor of the rented villa and landed on the riverside. Elizabeth also jumped down. She used a [Feather Fall Technique] in mid-air and slowly fell down. She landed very lightly and stood very steadily. Her movement was much more graceful than Zhang Jingyi's jump from the building.

Zhang Jingyi: "It's almost time. Now is the best time to steal our own boat."

Elizabeth didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why do we have to steal our own ship?"

Zhang Jingyi: "Because it is difficult for me to explain to the government why they suddenly disappeared... In our country, the management of these things is much more serious than in the Magic Kingdom."

Elizabeth: “Uh, okay!”

The two slowly walked to the side of the eight ships...

After two months of hard work, these eight ships are now very beautiful. Their outer shells are painted with wood-grain paint, making them look like wooden ships. Wood-grain panels are deliberately added to the ships, and the cabins are covered with panels. Although they obviously do not need masts to sail, fake masts are still deliberately made, and several fake sails are also made on them.

This sail is not useful for sailing at all, it is just for viewing.

Elizabeth looked up at the eight 50-meter-long ships and felt a little stressed: "Honey, if eight such huge ships were to transport goods to our side, it would be difficult for us to find goods of equal quality to transport over."

Zhang Jingyi nodded: "In fact, we can offset it by transporting wood and metal, but the quantity is indeed too large, and it is not easy to balance. So let's not steal all of them, just steal four. This way it will be easier to balance, and we can quickly make up the balance between the two worlds."

Elizabeth whispered, "Can four ships deal with the regular navy of the Desert Kingdom?"

Zhang Jingyi smiled and said, "I think so! The Desert Kingdom's action this time will probably be mainly a surprise attack. In order to avoid the spies sent by the Magic Kingdom, they dare not come in full force. At most, they will send ten warships."

Elizabeth thought about it carefully. This was true. The Desert Kingdom was not that strong to begin with. In front of the Knight Kingdom and the Magic Kingdom, it was a weak buffer state.

Its fleet is not large, and if it wants to launch a surprise attack, sending ten ships is already the maximum.

Zhang Jingyi: "With four of these ships, it shouldn't be a problem for us to defeat their ten warships."

Elizabeth nodded: "Okay!"

Zhang Jingyi: "I'll go drive the boat, you open the door..."

Elizabeth nodded and silently put on Zhang Jingyi's armor that could increase her magic power by more than twenty times.

Zhang Jingyi: "There are cameras everywhere in our world. No one knows if there is a camera far away recording us, so before opening the door, you have to use illusion again."

Elizabeth nodded: "Understood!"

She chanted an illusion spell, [Mirage], and arcane light spread, distorting all the surrounding light. No matter if there were cameras or video cameras facing this place in the distance, they would be affected by the [Mirage], making the image they saw completely still.

Then the portal was opened...

This side of the door opened into the Jialing River! Floating in front of a ship, and the other side of the door opened into the Xifeng River.

Zhang Jingyi, a rookie driver who was just learning to drive a ship, held the rudder! Fortunately, it was a sightseeing boat that could be driven by one person. If it was a huge ship, he really couldn't drive it alone. He silently reviewed what he had learned in the ship driving school and started!

The ship started moving slowly...
-
Antonio and a group of guards had been waiting for a long time on the river bank of Gilneas Town. They were staring with wide eyes at the huge portal that opened in the center of the river.

"coming!"

Antonio said, "The bow is coming."

The guards looked closely and saw a wooden bow statue that first appeared in front of everyone. The sculpture was not very well carved. After all, it was just an ordinary worker who casually took a piece of wood and planed it a few times to install it on the bow. It was not the work of a master.

Then, the sightseeing ships squeezed out of the portal little by little.

The "huge" hull slowly emerges.

The guards couldn't help but exclaimed in unison: "What a big ship!"

In fact, this ship is only 50 meters long, which is a very small ship in modern times. But for the people in the Magic Kingdom, a 30-meter-long ship is already considered a giant ship.

They had never heard of a 50-meter-long ship.

"Look, everyone. This boat doesn't even have its sails raised. How is it sailing?"

"It is obvious that His Majesty the King has used the magical machinery again."

"Well, His Majesty the King always has strange magical machines that can do strange things."

Amid everyone's exclamations, the first ship came over intact.

Zhang Jingyi drove it to the dock that had been prepared by the Xifeng River and threw down the rope: "Tie it up!"

The guards quickly tied the rope to the pile used to tie the boat.

Zhang Jingyi immediately returned to the portal. After a while, another ship came over. After a while, another ship came over...

Not long after, four large ships stopped at the small dock on the West Wind River.

Zhang Jingyi asked the guards to take good care of the four ships, then returned to the modern era and asked Elizabeth to remove the [Portal] and [Mirage], and the riverside returned to normal.

"Okay, let's go home and sleep now." Zhang Jingyi said with a smile, "Call the police tomorrow morning and tell them that four boats are missing."

Elizabeth was a little embarrassed: "Will this cause trouble for the detectives?"

Zhang Jingyi: "It may cause some trouble, but I am not an important person, and the loss of my boat is not a big deal. They can just search casually, and give up if they can't find any clues. It won't take up too much of their time."

Elizabeth: “…”

Early the next morning...

After the call to the police, a large number of relevant departments came to the riverside and walked around the "crime scene". They then checked the surveillance footage and the surveillance footage of the nearby river at various stages.

Finally, the relevant departments came to the conclusion: "The ship disappeared out of thin air and cannot be traced."

The theft of four ships became an unsolved case in Shuangqing City.
