Chapter 323: God's Way is Higher than Man's
This kind of deception, which expanded the distance to cover up individual deficiencies, might seem worthless after being put bluntly, but in practical applications, it was still very deceptive.
Especially on this day, the warehouse with a designated name was already lacking in lighting. Unless repeated inventory checks were conducted, it was almost normal to be deceived. It was a bit farfetched to blame Luo Jing for acting in vain. Discover new chapters at novelhall.com
It was just that
He was a hundred households Inspector of the Southern Detective Department and even worshipped Eunuch Xia as his god-father.
Sun Shaozong unexpectedly took on the task of Eunuch Dai, and if he didn't take Luo Jing for an attack, who else could he take?
Now Zhu Shan has only sought self-protection and naturally had no intention of speaking for Luo Jing.
After Lv Yuan added insult to injury, he cautiously inquired again, "According to the clues discovered by you, Inspector Sun, Du Ning is related to this gun theft case, and there should be no mistake, but how did those two guns get out?
That's right.
Upon hearing this, Lv Yuan also hurriedly said, "There is a team of [12] officers and soldiers guarding the entrance all year round. If one or two of them have problems, it may still be possible, but so many people are not all his accomplices, are they?
That's precisely why he's trying to create a cover-up.
As Sun Shaozong spoke, he led the crowd to the body and pointed to the calluses and blisters on Du Ning's hands, saying, "This mark is clearly freshly ground. However, just moving a few wooden frames shouldn't have caused a blister on one hand.
Lv Yuan looked closely at it for a while and said with uncertainty, "It looks like the marks left by those new apprentices when they first started learning crafts.
It's definitely not a heavy job like swinging a sledgehammer.
Zhu Shan added to the side, "If that's the case, there should be more calluses on the fingers, which is more like polishing and cutting cast iron parts.
At the end of the conversation, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Zhu Shan's mind and he exclaimed excitedly, "I got it. He used his daily inventory check to break down the gun into parts and transport it out. It probably took him several days before and after; no wonder he used a cover-up.
That's right.
Sun Shaozong nodded and said, "I just realized that the wooden frames that were passively tampered with were re-fixed with some fresh sawdust, which is very similar to the material of the gun stock.
As he spoke, he reached out and pointed to the air window, saying, "Additionally, there are traces of recent friction from hard objects on the iron fence of the air window.
If my expectations are right, the disassembled parts should be thrown out through the gaps in the air window first and then transported away by Du Ning's comrades in the guards.
"He can prevent the possibility of being discovered by others during a body search in this way."
At this point, naturally, no one would doubt Sun Shaozong's reasoning ability, so both Lv Yuan and Jia Shanyao were inspired and unanimously requested to interrogate the officers and soldiers responsible for guarding the warehouse.
It was just the fat meat of the Gunpowder Bureau; although it was already on his lips, if he couldnt find those two firearms back, he was afraid he might not be able to swallow them.
Seeing the large team of people preparing to be ordered, Sun Shaozong flipped over and mounted his horse. Just as he was about to command to move, several horses suddenly rushed towards him, dressed in Dragon Guards on both sides. The leader among them was a young Eunuch.
And this young Eunuch, to Sun Shaozong, looked a bit familiar, as if he had seen him beside Dai Quan several times before.
So Sun Shaozong quickly raised his voice and asked, "May I ask what instructions Commander Dai has?
The Eunuch recognized Sun Shaozong, urging his horse forward while shouting at the top of his voice, "His Majesty has instructed you, Inspector Sun, to immediately take down Du Ning, the Deputy Supervisor of the Gunpowder Bureau, without any delay.
Upon hearing this, Sun Shaozong was stunned. He turned around and looked at the body tied to the cart. He immediately threw off his horse and went up to help the young Eunuch hold the reins. He chased after him and asked, "Did His Majesty already know that Du Ning was the mastermind behind the gun theft?
The Eunuch was also taken aback upon hearing this, and immediately smiled and said, "So you have found out the truth and indeed deserve the name of Divine Judgement. I wonder where Du Ning is now?
Here, his body is lying on the car.
Sun Shaozong casually pointed and saw the young Eunuch's face suddenly change. He quickly explained, "He committed suicide last night intending to cover up the truth. Eunuch, how did His Majesty learn that he was the culprit in this case?
These few words were hard to understand.
So the little Eunuch was stunned for a long time until Sun Shaozong asked him for the third time, he then whispered in Sun Shaozong's ear, "Actually
After hearing this, Sun Shaozong was speechless and looked back at the body of Du Ning. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This is really a clever calculation, but in the end, it only caused his life!
To be honest, this Du Ning was indeed a remnant party, but it was not a remnant party of Prince Yizhong, but a remnant party of Goryeo!
At that time, Goryeo and the Great Zhou Dynasty were in a state of tension, and many spies proficient in Han culture were selected to secretly infiltrate the hinterland of the Great Zhou Dynasty, waiting for an opportunity to spy on intelligence.
Later on, Goryeo was destroyed, and these spies became rootless duckweed. Most of them gradually forgot their original tasks and regarded themselves as ordinary people of the Zhou Dynasty.
However, some people have extended their loyalty to Goryeo to North Korea, and Du Ning was one of them.
Last month, he accidentally heard that the North Korean delegation had arrived in the Capital, and it was rumored that the North Korean state seemed to have a sense of disobedience. Du Ning's heart for serving the country was immediately ignited.
So he secretly bribed a guard who owed a large gambling debt and smuggled out two muskets. He also took advantage of the opportunity to present the official documents and quietly sent them to the North Korean embassy.
To ensure that this matter wouldn't leak out, he even directed a suicide farce!
However
This Du Ning risked his life not to steal the military and national treasure, but was handed over to the court by the North Korean envoy!
