"What did you see that day?" The prefectural magistrate looked at it slightly, and then continued to ask, but he didn't expect much, after all, few people paid attention to the footsteps under their feet.

If it is not a special work or has contact with this aspect, it is rare to pay attention to the traces.

"Lord Hui, I paid attention to my feet at that time, because I also knew that this warehouse had not been opened for some days, so the dust was heavier, so I looked inside, and there were no other footprints except for the footprints of the two people who entered in front of me." The round little guy hurriedly said.

The county magistrate's brows furrowed, he didn't expect this person to really pay attention to his feet, but he didn't find footprints, the dust didn't fall in a day, so it was calculated that there were no footprints, it must be because he had transferred these silver taels earlier, so he didn't leave footprints in this kind of closed room.

But the specific time is not very clear, and I asked a few people behind him, and their words were basically the same, and no one paid attention to their feet.

The county order no longer embarrassed them, that is, he has been an official for many years, and he can see from his eyes whether there is something wrong with a person, these people don't even dare to look at him, revealing a bit of timidity, obviously not a person who dares to steal the 100,000 silver taels.

waved his hand and let a few people retreat, and then Xue Yangzheng glanced at the county magistrate with some concern, and asked cautiously, "Do you have any other eyes to ask?" ”

The prefectural commander took another turn around the room, and the six large boxes that landed in the middle of the room were taken out and used as special gloves to open the large boxes inside.

The inside is still a brand new big red cloth, not as dusty as the outside, the inside is clean and tidy, there is no trace of dust, if it is not for the report, then I really can't believe that a few large boxes here once contained 100,000 silver taels.

The openings of each box were carefully observed, and no useful traces were found, probably even if there were original, it is estimated that they were repeatedly opened and rubbed off.

The county magistrate turned his head to ask Xue Yangzheng and asked, "How did you find out that the silver in here is missing?" ”

"When I reopen the warehouse door, I will check it, and when I check it, I will find that there is nothing inside." Xue Yangzheng said honestly.

The county magistrate nodded, and the evidence is now everyone's confession, there are many possibilities for theft, and there is basically no evidence in the warehouse and on these boxes.

His eyes fell on the iron lock on the door, and he walked over, looking at it with thanks, but he didn't see anything, because he wasn't good at it.

He said to the official on the right: "Come and see if this lock has been picked." ”

"Yes, sir." The man nodded, strode over, grabbed the lock, and looked at it carefully.

After a while, he said to the county order: "My lord, there is no trace of this lock being picked." ”

The county magistrate walked out of the warehouse directly and observed it from the outside, Xue Yangzheng also hurriedly followed, and asked in a low voice: "Have you found anything?" ”

The county magistrate shook his head, and then said to Xue Yangzheng: "You take me to the study, and you can take a look at the place where you put the key." "19th Floor Literature

"Your Excellency, please." Xue Yangzheng hurriedly responded, led the way in front, and observed the expression of the county order in the dark, the heart in his heart became heavier and heavier, he understood the meaning of frowning, but he was a little reluctant to accept such a reality.

"Okay, don't look at it." Maybe Xue Yangzheng's gaze was too straightforward, and the county order could clearly detect it, so he glanced at it coldly and said.

Xue Yangzheng was caught in the bag, and he was a little embarrassed for a while, smiled at the county order, scratched his head like a child who had done something wrong, and looked straight ahead, not daring to float around.

The county commander snorted coldly, shook his head, and turned his head sideways to Xue Yangzheng and said, "Since you are curious, then I will tell you directly." ”

The county commander dared to say that he naturally had his own idea, and judging from the current situation, the possibility of not playing was almost zero, so it was better to give Xue Yangzheng a preventive shot first, which could be regarded as making him mentally prepared.

Xue Yangzheng nodded hurriedly, looking at the county order expectantly, waiting for his next step.

"According to the current situation, the only thing that can enter and exit this warehouse is the door, but there is no sign of being pried, as you just knew.

There are also footsteps on the ground, you must have heard it just now, these people did not leave any footprints, which added to the difficulty of solving the case.

Let's talk about this last point, look at the lock of the box, if it has been touched before, there will be some marks left next to it, but I saw just now that most of them are the hands of people in your house. The county magistrate didn't beat around the bush when she spoke, and directly told Xue Yangzheng what she knew.

And Xue Yangzheng's mood was also like a roller coaster, looking at the county order's mood was not quite right, and his heart also fell into a trough, and then he was happy that the county commander was willing to tell him the progress, but he didn't expect such bad news.

The county magistrate looked sideways at Xue Yangzheng's performance, which was also expected, and said lightly: "It is difficult to recover the lost money, and we can only do our best to help you solve the case." ”

This sentence, what the county order said is clear, it means that Xue Yangzheng should not have such big expectations.

Xue Yangzheng wanted to laugh but couldn't, and finally just pulled the corners of his mouth, nodded and said: "Thank you, my lord, if you can find it, you are naturally willing to thank your lord, and if you can't find it, thank you for your hard work." ”

"It doesn't matter." The county commander nodded, satisfied with Xue Yangzheng's reaction now.

"Father." While the two were talking, a woman suddenly intervened, Xue Yangzheng turned around, and saw that it was his daughter, and his smile had a hint of warmth and said, "Zhilan, why did you come back to the house?" Don't take good care of the business of the horse farm outside. ”

"My daughter has been in the racecourse for the past two days, but I just heard from the people below that something happened at home, so I came back to see if I was worried, why did my father drive me away as soon as I came back." Xue Zhilan pursed her mouth slightly, and her tone had a kind of shyness that belonged to girls alone, with a coquettish meaning, so that Xue Yangzheng originally wanted to continue to blame the words, but swallowed them all.

He shook his head dotingly and said: "There is a blame for you nearby, you have made the business of the horse farm so good, you said that you are coming back now, my father was a little surprised, I just mentioned it in passing, you don't want to be angry with your father." ”

"The daughter is not angry with her father, this is ......" Xue Zhilan noticed a group of officers and soldiers next to her, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, I've just lost something at home." Xue Yangzheng did not tell Xue Zhilan the truth.
