Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 555 The Stolen Artifact
He can find clues that ordinary people ignore from any subtle point, and he can easily see through other people's minds, figure out other people's plans, and thus arrange all plans in advance.

Rather than saying that the Sang Island ronin's defeat was due to carelessness, it would be better to say that they were already doomed to fail when they were noticed by Li Canghai.

Fushimi Hirohito only felt that his palms were covered with sweat, he looked at Li Canghai in horror, and felt even more awe in his heart.

Even Conan was amazed. He had seen Li Canghai's ability to reason and solve cases before, but what he didn't expect was that Li Canghai knew the art of war!

"Brother Li, you really opened my eyes. I, Conan, have never admired anyone, but for Brother Li, I admire him all over!" Conan sighed sincerely.

"Brother Conan is serious. This time, Yangzhou City can be saved from being ruined, thanks to your help. Otherwise, no matter how good the plan is, it will be in vain." Li Canghai smiled slightly.

Li Yu excitedly said: "Sir, you are too modest. Without your clever plan, even if Yangzhou City did not fall into the hands of Japanese pirates, the people in the city would suffer. You are the hero who saved Yangzhou City!"

Yang Shicheng also nodded again and again, his eyes were full of admiration, and said: "Master Li has a clever plan, not only saved Yangzhou City, but also wiped out all the Japanese pirates who caused disasters along the coast. You are not only the benefactor of the people in Yangzhou City, but also the whole Jiangnan The benefactor of Tao. Please be worshiped by the next official!"

After speaking, Yang Shicheng knelt down on the ground respectfully, and saluted Li Canghai.

"Your Majesty Yang please, I'm going eastward under the order, and I hold the holy seal in my hand. Naturally, I want to share the worries of the Holy One and seek the happiness of the people. These are all my duties." Li Canghai said.

"Cang Hai, Yangzhou City was able to survive the disaster this time, you have contributed a lot, and you can bear this worship." Li Tan said with a smile on his lips, approvingly.

"My lord is too famous." Li Canghai cupped his hands and said.

Li Yu helped Yang Shicheng up, laughed loudly and said, "My lord, sir, you did this for the sake of the people in the city, not for you to kneel down and be grateful. Everyone has been busy all night, why don't you hurry up and order someone to prepare a celebration banquet? Have a good time celebrating?"

Yang Shicheng was stunned, he nodded again and again, and said: "What the lord said is, I'm going to prepare now!"

After saying that, Yang Shicheng saluted everyone, and then left the inner hall excitedly.

However, just as Yang Shicheng left, a yamen servant suddenly ran in with a hurried expression.

"My lord, it's not good, something happened!" The yamen servant said in a panic before he had time to salute.

"What happened?" Li Canghai asked.

"Three...Three great artifacts, something happened!" the yamen servant said out of breath.

Fushimi Hirohito and Conan were taken aback when they heard that there was an accident with the three major artifacts. They had no time to talk to Li Canghai and the others, and immediately rushed out.

Li Canghai, Li Tan and the others glanced at each other, their expressions became serious, and they followed closely behind, heading for the room where the three great artifacts were stored.

There is a side room in the Dongkua courtyard of the Sheriff's Mansion, the three artifacts are stored in this side room, and have been guarded by two Jianning iron guards and ten government servants.

When Li Canghai and the others rushed over, they found Jianning Tiewei and government servants lying in disorder outside the side room.

The door of the side room was wide open, and Fushimi Hirohito, Conan and others had already walked in.

Li Tan frowned slightly, he was worried about the three artifacts, after slightly nodding to Li Canghai, he immediately walked towards the side room.

The three artifacts were of great importance, and Li Yu was also worried, so he followed into the side room.

Li Canghai didn't go in, but let Xue Xuan support him, and walked towards the guard lying on the ground.

The wooden wheelchair he was sitting in had been destroyed by Doihara at the city gate, and now he can only walk with two crutches.

When he came to those guards, he squatted down with difficulty, and then sniffed the yamen servant's breath with his hand, only to find that the yamen servant had been dead for a long time.

"Cang Hai, they all seem to be dead." Xue Xuan looked at the guard lying on the ground, and frowned slightly.

Li Canghai looked serious. He touched the skin of the corpse carefully, and said in a deep voice, "Judging from the stiffness of the corpse, the time of death should not exceed three hours."

Xue Xuan was a little surprised and said: "So, it's the time when the Japanese pirates attacked the city?"

Li Canghai nodded.

"Could it be the Japanese pirates who slipped through the net?" Xue Xuan frowned slightly.

Li Canghai shook his head and said, "I don't know about this yet. However, I find it a bit strange that this yamen servant has no wounds on his body, so how did he die?"

Thinking of this, he beckoned to several yamen guards in charge of guarding the county guard's mansion and said, "Look at their bodies and see if there are any injuries."

After several yamen servants took the order, they immediately checked the guards.

After a while, the yamen servant replied: "My lord, no wounds were found."

"How did this happen? Could it be that they were all poisoned and died?" Xue Xuan asked in surprise.

Li Canghai frowned, then took out the silver needle he carried with him, and pricked it on the corpse, but the silver needle didn't turn black.

"It seems that they are not poisoned." Li Canghai looked at Yinzhen and said.

"What's going on?" Xue Xuan wondered.

Li Canghai shook his head and said, "It seems that if we want to know the cause of their death, we can only know after the autopsy."

At this time, Li Tan and others came out from the side room.

Li Canghai looked at them, and seeing their puzzled expressions, he was a little puzzled.

"My lord, were the three artifacts stolen?" Li Canghai asked.

Li Tan shook his head. Before he could speak, Li Yu took the words and said, "The three artifacts have not been stolen, they are stored in the room intact."

Li Canghai was a little surprised at the moment, he was puzzled and said: "What's going on? Someone killed the guards guarding the three artifacts, but didn't steal the three artifacts?"

Li Yu scratched his head, and said with a confused face: "This is the strange thing. If you didn't come here for the three artifacts, why did you kill the guard?"

Li Canghai thought for a while and asked, "Brother Conan, are you sure that the three artifacts have not been replaced?"

Conan nodded and said, "This is natural. The materials of the three artifacts are special, and it is impossible to make an identical fake."

Li Canghai looked around, and pondered: "Xiao Wu is seriously injured now, and the autopsy cannot be performed. It seems that I am the only one to try." After thinking for a while, Li Canghai said to Li Tan: "My lord, it's getting late. Get some rest early, leave this place to me and Brother Conan."

After thinking about it, Li Tan said: "That's fine, I'll leave this place to you. The King will send Jianning Iron Guards to guard the Dongkuayuan. If you encounter any situation, please notify the King immediately, and the King will come immediately."
