Chapter 4 Outside the Plug Sixteen Sections Flying Iron Outside the Sky
Why don't you go back and forth to the Nine Heavens Lock Tower about four times, and the first time I went, I sprinkled quicklime on the ground and then brushed off the surface, and found the footprints of five people.
The Nine Heavens Lock Tower is opened once a year, and each time the dustless abbot and the emperor enter the tower together to take out the starry river.
The footprints of the dust-free abbot have already been verified, and the emperor's shoes are different from others, so they are also very easy to remove.
After inquiry, why not learn that the princess had also entered the Nine Heavens Lock Tower.
Depending on the shoes worn by the princess that day, another type of footprint can be ruled out.
There were still the footprints of two people besides himself.
One of them was about seven feet tall (one foot of green glass is equivalent to a little more than two-thirds of the current foot), and the other was about six and a half feet.
Judging by the footprints of the two and the depth of the shoe marks, these two people look like a man and a woman.
The man's pace is relatively brisk, but it can be seen that he is already a middle-aged person, and the woman is relatively young.
The feet become thinner with age, and the toes gradually turn outward.
The shoes of both men are round-toed shoes commonly worn in Lan Kingdom, so they are also easier to identify.
The man did not walk much, but the indentation on the side of the little toe was heavier when he walked, so his age could be judged to be between forty or fifty years old according to the depth of the indentation.
The woman walks with the deepest indentation of the forefoot at the tip of the toe, and the heel does not need much effort to take the next step, so she is not only young, but also very good at walking and running.
But just with the general form of these two people, why is it really impossible to find the suspect.
Finally, when he went to the Nine Heavens Lock Tower with Chen Xi just now, why didn't he finally have a clue that could almost be ignored.
It turned out that when He He was about to leave, he found that there seemed to be a point of light the size of a sesame seed on the ground where it was impossible to have the slightest reflection.
After approaching, he lowered his head and looked at it, but it was a little prickly when he touched it, and the body of the light point was not deformed at all.
Picking up that little crumb, why not think of the first thing that comes to mind is the flying iron that Lima showed him!
Along the way, why don't you dare to run, for fear that the thief will find out.
After walking briskly for a long time, he felt as if he was more tired than running ten miles before.
Before coming to the Lima store, the two finally wiped the sweat from their heads.
"I've compared it to the box in my hand, and the iron filings didn't come from us. Do you know where these abnormally hard iron filings come from? ”
"Lord Hui, although I am not specialized in lock materials, this piece of iron filings is so easy to identify, such a thin piece can be so tough, except for the completely pure flying iron, there is no other iron material that can do it."
Why don't you take the iron filings in your hand, and think a lot of things in your mind for a while, but he only keeps silent.
Lima saw that it was not as good as everything he thought.
Then he asked respectfully: "When it comes to identifying iron materials, my senior brother doesn't know how many times stronger than me, why don't you ask him to help identify it?" If it weren't for the special iron, you would have run this trip for nothing today. ”
Chen Xi saw that it was better to be silent all the time, so he could only help him ask again: "Then do you know how these iron filings can form such a form?" ”
"The flying iron outside the sky is abnormally hard, and it can only be shaped by repeated forging and quenching, although this iron dust is thin, it looks like a small piece of iron dust splashed on the body during forging."
After listening to Lima's words, he finally raised his head again: "You must not say this to others, I will send someone to guard you, from now on, you are only allowed to close the shop and call it sick." ”
After arranging Lima, why didn't he go to Wu Hao again, but went directly to Yang Chu's shop.
"Do you know this iron?"
Yang Chu looked at the iron filings in his hand after approaching, and said without thinking at all: "This is flying iron outside the sky." ”
"Apart from you, has anyone else forged the flying iron in the sky?"
"Back to my lord, except for the villain, no one can forge this flying iron, the process required to forge flying iron is very complex, and the requirements for strength and heat quenching are extremely high, I don't know where the adults got this iron?"
"Then do you have an apprentice to forge this flying iron with you?"
Although he had guessed that the iron filings should have come from Yang Chu, he had never suspected that Yang Chu was the thief.
The reason is simple, there were four footprints at the scene of the theft.
"So far, I have taken in two apprentices, both of whom have forged flying iron with me."
Why don't you pause and then ask, "Then whoever wants to enter your forge room?" ”
"In addition to the forging time, occasionally customers will go to the forging room to see the progress of my forging."
"In other words, except for forging, this iron dust will not be splashed on the body?"
"My lord, are you shaking... Ah Qiang, Ah Jing, you two come to the front store! ”
Yang Chu finally reacted at this time, where did this iron dust come from and what did it mean.
"You two apprentices don't know me, do they?"
"Back to my lord, they have always been forging in their own forging room behind the store, and on the day you came, they were resting in the bedroom, so they shouldn't know your lord."
"I wonder if the two of them are married?"
"Both of them are hard-working orphans, and they have only been adopted and taught by me for a few years, where did they get the money to start a family?"
When the two of them came to the front of the store, why not signal Yang Chu to cooperate with him, and then talk.
"Hello two, I plan to open a green building full of flowers in Huadu, I hereby want you to help me build locks, until the lock is completed, as long as I am satisfied, I also express my gratitude, please go to have fun together?"
Although they were both bachelors, the reactions of the two youths were diametrically opposed, with one showing obvious excitement and the other directly refusing.
"Don't you have someone you like? Men, people are not romantic teenagers, are they? ”
"Thank you, but I do have someone I like."
"You like people, but people don't like you, you're not afraid of thieves stealing, you're afraid of thieves worrying, it's good for you to lure wolves into the house!"
While speaking, the person named Ah Jing wanted to run, but in front of him was Chen Xi's knife that suddenly crossed out, but he still didn't stop, just according to the blade and was about to hit it!
