Chapter 87: clues to the gold theft case

Soon, Fang Xuanling brought two pale and thin prisoners to Li Chengfeng.

It seems that after they lost 100,000 gold in dereliction of duty, Fang Xuanling punished them a lot.

But at least it didn't take their lives, it was considered light!

Fang Xuanling said: "Eighth Prince, these two men were guarding the golden guards before! The old minister also suspected that they were suspected of communicating with the thief, but they were tortured. After starving them for three days, they still kept silent and said that they had nothing to do with the thief!"

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

"Um!"

Li Chengfeng came to the two prisoners and said, "What happened to the stolen gold?"

One of the prisoners replied, "Return to the eighth prince, the little one, the little one doesn't know!"

"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 I have any! If I know, we will definitely tell you!"

"Because three days ago, when we opened the box and watched, gold had turned into stone!"

"The young man was shocked at that time. When Duke Liang came back, he told Duke Liang about this matter! Please ask the eighth prince to decide for us!"

"I'll make the decision for you? I laughed! Duke Liang didn't kill you, even if he was spared! It was your dereliction of duty, but he still wanted me to make the decision for you?"

Immediately afterwards, Li Chengfeng asked about the two prisoners some things, and their answers were all unaware of them!

Fang Xuanling sighed helplessly and said, "Eighth Prince, look at it. What's the use of these two wastes? Why not kill them? I don't know anything after asking questions and asking them three times, but I don't know anything? Ten large wooden boxes were placed in front of them, and the hundred thousand gold inside was stolen? Can't they even notice any movement?"

Fang Xuanling was so angry that she almost sweared.

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

"Are you two taking turns guarding the gold?"

"Yes, the eighth prince, we are guarding each day and guarding each night!"

"So have you felt very tired during the sleeping moments in the past few days?"

"Hmm? Yes!" said one of the prisoners: "I suddenly slept very heavily a week ago, and my eyelids couldn't even lift my eyes!"

Another prisoner said, "Did you feel this way seven days ago? So do I! 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 morning! I thought the box was there and the gold had not been lost. Could it be that night, the gold we guarded was stolen by the thief?"

The two guards suddenly realized.

Li Chengfeng's eyes lit up and he said, "You are all caught!"

"The thief's method of committing crimes is very clever! He took advantage of your turn to change shifts and used an anesthetic to make you faint. Another trick was to replace the beams and columns, and all the wooden boxes that installed gold were removed! He changed into wooden boxes with stones. When you woke up, he found that the wooden boxes were still there. You carried the wooden boxes and found it was very heavy, so you felt that the gold was still there and was not lost! But in fact, you didn't know that the gold in the box had been stolen long ago!"

Li Chengfeng shook his head.

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

This is the measure taken by Fang Xuanling to prevent someone from stealing small particles of gold.

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

It has been a week since Fang Xuanling discovered that the moment of gold was lost.

So during this period, the thief is likely to have transferred the gold out of the palace.

In this way, it will be much harder to find the lost gold.

It would be great if there was surveillance, and every move of the thief could be discovered.

But unfortunately, this is the Tang Dynasty.

Only visible to the naked eye, there is no such thing.

Is it really necessary to use the system to find the thief?

Li Chengfeng was a genius in the scientific research and archaeological team in his previous life. He knew history well and had a strong ability to reason and solve cases.

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

"Well, this thief is so powerful in stealing!"

Li Chengfeng pondered for a while.

Suddenly, the barking of the big black dog came from the backyard.

"Wow, wow!"

"Erbai?"

The big black dog suddenly ran to Li Chengfeng's side, then bit Li Chengfeng's clothes, and pulled him into a bush.

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

“Woo woo…”

The big black dog whined twice in a low voice, then brought Li Chengfeng to a bush.

Li Chengfeng looked closely and saw that the good guy actually had a white cloth wrapped in something.

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

A scent of mystery suddenly came to his face, and Li Chengfeng felt a little dizzy in an instant.

"Eighth Prince, have you found a clue?"

Fang Xuanling followed.

Li Chengfeng covered his nose and said, "Duke Liang is a kind of incense-burning medicine. The thief used this incense to make your two guards faint! Then he started stealing!"

"What? Is there really a scent? Who threw it away?"

"A hundred percent thief!"

"And, the thief may have lost more than one burned incense pill pack. This is because it was very dark at that time and they did not see the incense pill pack in the grass, so they accidentally left one in your house! Incense pills are usually used to prevent mosquitoes, but once they burn, they will release a harmful hypnotic gas, which can make people sleep very dysfunction without realizing it!"

Li Chengfeng smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "With clues, it will be easier to do things next! Erbai, you have to remember this smell, do you know?"

"Woom..."

The big black dog barked twice in excitement.

This dog is very spiritual. He seemed to know that Li Chengfeng was solving the case, and he also knew that if he did not solve the case, he would be killed by Li Shimin.

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

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

"Woom!"

The big black dog barked twice and shook its tail.

"Okay, from now on, Erbai, you have to remember this smell. We are going to catch the thieves!"

"Woom!"

Fang Xuanling's breathing was a little rapid, and he 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! If Erbai smells the medicinal material such as scented in the minister's house, then that minister will be 80% of the minister will be a thief!"
