Chapter 87： : Clues to the gold theft case

Soon, Fang Xuanling brought two sallow and emaciated prisoners to Li Chengfeng.

It seems that after they neglected their duty and lost 100,000 gold, Fang Xuanling punished them a lot.

But at least they didn't kill them, it's considered light!

Fang Xuanling said: "Eighth prince, these two people were the guards guarding the gold before! The old minister also suspected that they were suspected of communicating with the thieves, but they tortured them severely. After starving them for three days, they still kept silent , Said that he has nothing to do with the thief!"

"The old minister is helpless, but he can't kill them yet!"

"Um!"

Li Chengfeng came to the two prisoners and asked, "What happened to the gold theft?"

One of the prisoners replied, "Back to the Eighth Prince, little one, I don't know!"

"Presumptuous, don't you know when the gold was lost?"

Li Chengfeng shouted.

The prisoner said with a bitter face: "Eighth prince, I really don't know! If we know, we will definitely tell you!"

"Because three days ago, the moment we opened the box to watch, the gold had already turned into stone!"

"The little one was scared and dumbfounded at the time. When Liang Guogong came back, the little one told Liang Guogong about this! Let the eighth prince be the master for us!"

"I'll make the decision for you? I laughed! Liang Guogong didn't kill you, so it's considered a light forgiveness! It's your dereliction of duty, but you still want me to make the decision for you?"

Immediately afterwards, Li Chengfeng asked the two prisoners some more things, and their answers were all ignorant!

Fang Xuanling sighed helplessly, and said: "Look, eighth prince, what's the use of these two wastes? It's better to kill them! Ask three questions, don't know anything? Put ten big wooden boxes on them In front of you, the 100,000 gold inside has been stolen? Could it be that they didn't notice any movement?"

Fang Xuanling was so angry that he almost burst into foul language.

Li Chengfeng waved his hand, "Don't kill me yet, I still have something to ask!"

"Are you two taking turns guarding the gold?"

"Yes, the Eighth Prince, one of us is guarding during the day and the other is guarding at night!"

"Then, in the past few days, have you felt very tired while sleeping?"

"Huh? Yes!" One of the prisoners said, "A week ago, I suddenly fell into such a heavy sleep that I couldn't lift my eyelids!"

Another prisoner said: "Did you feel this way seven days ago? Me too! Seven days ago, when I was guarding the gold, I suddenly felt very tired, and then fell asleep. When I woke up, it was already It's morning! I thought the box was there and the gold hadn't been lost, could it be that the gold we guarded was stolen by thieves that night?"

The two guards suddenly realized.

Li Chengfeng's eyes lit up, and he said, "You've all been tricked!"

"The thief's method of committing the crime is very clever! He used an anesthetic to stun you while you were taking turns changing shifts. Another trick was to steal the beam and change the post, and remove all the wooden boxes with gold! Replace them with stones When you woke up, you found that the wooden box was still there. You lifted the wooden box and found it was very heavy, so you felt that the gold was still there, not lost! But in fact, you didn’t know that the gold in the box, It was stolen long ago!"

Li Chengfeng shook his head.

Because the gold boxes were all locked, and the key was on Fang Xuanling's body.

This is the measure Fang Xuanling took to prevent someone from stealing small grains of gold.

But unexpectedly, the thief moved the box away and replaced it with an identical box and lock.

So much so that Fang Xuanling discovered that the gold was missing, a week had passed.

So during this period of time, the thieves may have moved the gold out of the palace.

In this way, it is much more difficult to find the lost gold.

It would be great if there is monitoring, every move of the thief can be found.

But unfortunately, this is Datang.

It is only visible to the naked eye, and there is no such thing as monitoring.

Could it be that the system is really needed to find the culprit?

Li Chengfeng was a genius in the scientific research and archaeological team in his previous life. He has a good understanding of history and a strong ability to reason and solve cases.

But in this case, if there are no clues and clues, it will be difficult to find an entry point to solve the case!

"Well, this thief is really good at stealing!"

Li Chengfeng pondered for a while.

Suddenly, there was a **** dog barking wildly in the backyard.

"Wow, woof, woof!"

"Erbai?"

I saw the **** dog suddenly ran to Li Chengfeng's side, then bit Li Chengfeng's clothes, and pulled him towards a bush.

"Erbai, why are you dragging me? Have you found any clues?"

"Woo..."

The **** dog whined twice, and then led Li Chengfeng to a bush.

Li Chengfeng took a closer look, good guy, there is actually a white cloth with some things wrapped in it.

Li Chengfeng picked up the small package and sniffed it lightly.

A scent of mist rushed over his face immediately, and Li Chengfeng felt a little dizzy for a moment.

"Eighth Prince, may I ask if you found any clues?"

Fang Xuanling followed.

Li Chengfeng covered his nose, and said: "Mr. Liang, it's a burnt incense The thief used this incense to stun your two guards! Then they started stealing!"

"What? Is there really Mixiang? Who lost it?"

"One hundred percent is a thief!"

"Besides, the thieves may have lost more than one burnt incense pack. This was because it was very dark at that time, and they hadn't seen the scent pack in the grass, so they accidentally left one in your Your Majesty! Fragrances are generally used to prevent mosquitoes, but once burned, they will release a harmful hypnotic gas, which can make people fall into a deep sleep without knowing it!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Chengfeng's mouth, and he said, "With the clue, it will be easy to do things next! Erbai, you have to remember this taste, you know?"

"Wow woof..."

The **** dog barked twice excitedly.

This dog is very spiritual. He seems to know that Li Chengfeng is solving the case, and he also knows that if he does not solve the case, he will be killed by Li Shimin.

So he also wanted to do his part to help Li Chengfeng and the others.

Li Chengfeng took out the white package again and asked the **** dog, "Erbai, do you remember this smell?"

"Wow!"

The **** dog barked twice and wagged its tail.

"Okay, from now on, Erbai, you have to remember this taste, we are going to catch the culprits!"

"Wow!"

Fang Xuanling was short of breath, looked at Li Chengfeng, and said, "Eighth prince, do you know the whereabouts of the thief?"

"I don't know at the moment, but it doesn't matter! As long as Erbai smells that there is a medicinal material like Mixiang hidden in a certain minister's mansion, then that minister is 80% a thief!"
