Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 759 Abnormal
Zhong looked at Di Renjie, and said in disbelief, "Mr. Guo, you, how did you know..."

Di Renjie raised his eyebrows and said, "It seems that Mr. Sha did something abnormal?"

Zhong Shi only nodded, but did not speak.

Di Renjie continued: "To tell you the truth, ma'am, there are indications that the robbery at the Shanjin Bureau has something to do with Mr. Sha...but it's not certain yet.

Therefore, this cabinet has this question. "

Zhong was very surprised: "Guo always said, he, he participated in the robbery?"

Di Renjie said: "Right now, the case is under investigation. Madam, please tell me what's unusual about Lord Sha recently.

Zhong said: "In the past few months, I have always felt a little uneasy..."

Di Renjie asked, "Why are you uneasy?"

Zhong coughed lightly and said, "I think my husband Shar Khan seems to be a different person."

Di Renjie raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh?"

Zhong said: "In the past, the two of us were very affectionate, but these few months he didn't even look at me, and when he came back from duty, he plunged into the back garden."

Di Renjie asked, "The back garden?"

Mrs. Zhong nodded: "The back garden is a restricted area of ​​the Sha Mansion. All the keys are in the hands of my husband Shar Khan and Chief Manager Tucker. Except for the two of them, no one can enter, not even me."

Di Renjie said, "Tuck, is it a short man less than five feet tall?"

Zhong was surprised and said: "Yes, why, my lord has seen him?"

Di Renjie coughed lightly and said, "The last time I visited the mansion, I met one by chance, so I remembered it."

Zhong nodded: "Ah, that's right, I said. This Tucker is elusive even in the mansion, and he is rarely seen."

Di Renjie was surprised inwardly, and asked, "Ma'am, is Tucker disabled in both hands?"

Zhong said: "Exactly. He is born with a disability."

Di Renjie took a breath and said, "Born with a disability?"

Zhong replied: "Exactly. This Tak is from Tule, and he has been with my husband Shar Khan since he opened a shop in Luoyang."

Di Renjie took a breath and said, "That is to say, Tucker has been following Master Sha for more than ten years?"

Zhong Shi nodded and said, "Exactly."

Di Renjie nodded slowly and said: "That's right. Ah, I'm sorry Ma'am, I interrupted you, you can continue talking about Lord Sha!"

Zhong nodded: "I once asked my husband, what's wrong with him, why he didn't want to talk to me, and whether I did something wrong to make him unhappy, but he just walked away without saying a word. "

Di Renjie said: "This is really strange."

Zhong sighed: "Who says it's not the case? The concubine stays alone in the empty room every day, washing her face with tears...

But he is busy all day long, doing nothing in the back garden.

Even when I came back to my place occasionally, I kept a straight face without saying a word, took my things and left.

A few days ago, my concubine always heard noises in the back garden in the middle of the night..."

Di Renjie was concentrating on listening, and asked urgently, "What's the noise?"

Zhong said: "The concubine can't tell, it seems to be the sound of knocking."

Di Renjie groaned, and nodded slowly.

Zhong continued, "Last night, I heard that voice again, so I got up and quietly came to the back garden..."

Zhong recalled what happened last night: she saw the moon gate in the back garden closed tightly, and there were noisy voices coming from inside.

She sneaked to the moon door and looked inside through the crack of the door.

There were five carriages lined up in the garden, and more than [-] people, holding large ladles in their hands, rushed in and out of the back hall, pouring something in the ladles onto the carriages.

She was wondering when suddenly a soft cough came from behind her.

Zhong was taken aback and turned around, seeing Tucker standing behind him.

She asked in horror: "You, what are you going to do?"

Tucker said darkly: "Madam, it's getting late, you should go back and rest."

Then Tucker ordered two servants to take her back to the room.

Di Renjie asked: "You mean, they are building a carriage?"

Zhong sighed sadly, "It seems so. I really don't understand what my husband is doing!"

Di Renjie changed the subject and asked: "Madam, have you ever seen that many silversmiths from the city have visited your house?"

Zhong was taken aback: "A silversmith?"

Di Renjie nodded and said, "There are about 20 people."

Zhong shook her head: "I haven't seen it before. It's the carpenters who build the carriages. It was the first time I saw them last night."

Di Renjie took a deep breath and nodded: "Madam, thank you for providing these information. They are very important to me. If you find any strange things in the mansion, please contact this cabinet immediately."

Zhong said: "Yes. I remember it myself."

Di Renjie stood up and said, "Then I will leave the pavilion."

Zhong made a salute and said, "I'm a concubine to send off the elders of the country."

……

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang were anxiously waiting for Di Renjie to return home in the main hall of Di Mansion, when they heard a loud singing from outside the hall: "Master Di, return home!"

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang opened the hall door and greeted them out. Di Renjie walked up the steps quickly and said, "How about it, Jing Yang and Yuan Fang, what do you gain?"

Li Yuanfang said excitedly: "My lord, I have gained a lot!"

Di Renjie raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, tell me quickly."

Li Yuanfang glanced at Wang Mang and said with a smile, "Let Jing Yang talk about it!"

Wang Mang nodded and said, "Brother Yuan Fang and I just sneaked into the back garden, it was completely silent.

The five carriages are still lined up in front of the back hall, and it seems that they have been completed.

The style of the carriage was very strange. There was a gap of about an inch between the two sidings. I don't know why. "

Di Renjie nodded: "Share Khan's wife, Mrs. Zhong, also mentioned that last night, she saw more than a dozen carpenters in the back garden building carriages..."

"Oh?"

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, and they raised their eyebrows.

Di Renjie said: "Jing Yang, go ahead!"

Wang Mang nodded and said, "Later, brother Yuanfang and I came outside the back hall, licked the broken window paper and looked inward. Only half of the tens of thousands of catties of charcoal that had been piled up under the eastern gable wall were left..."

Di Renjie frowned slightly and said, "Oh, only half of it is left?"

Wang Mang nodded and said, "Exactly. And the piles of red soil that were piled up at the base of the west wall are gone."

Di Renjie nodded slowly, as if he understood the mystery.

Wang Mang said: "At that time, there was no one in the hall. Brother Yuan Fang and I were about to leave when we heard a roar in the hall, and the west gable wall opened slowly, revealing the secret passage hidden inside!"

Di Renjie asked in surprise: "Secret way?"

Wang Mang said: "Exactly. Brother Yuanfang and I were surprised when footsteps sounded in the secret road. The short man we met when we were exploring the Sha Mansion rushed out with a few servants, filled a large dustpan with charcoal and sent it into the In the secret way.

Brother Yuanfang and I originally wanted to sneak into the secret passage to find out, but we were afraid that it would be inappropriate to startle the snake. "
