Chapter 41: The carriage burned

The next thing is to observe the carriages, which have been burned to ashes, and although there is still smoke, the smoke is not particularly large.

Moreover, the original frame of the carriage is no longer visible, because most of the structure of the carriage is made of wood, and a small part is made of metal, although there is metal in every part, and the general outline can be seen even after it has been burned.

But the carriage has not been restored.

In fact, just looking at these five carriages, I couldn't see any clues, Mo Yu and the law enforcement hall master came over just to see the clues around.

The Law Enforcement Hall Master ordered his squad of people to come around and look for clues that could be found.

And Mo Yu went to the side of the carriage to take a look, the manufacture of the carriage is also made by specific merchants, and in order to make their carriages famous, merchants generally make their own marks on the carriages.

What Mo Yu is looking for is this place, although it is not a very powerful nobleman who can buy five carriages in one go, but it can also be used as a small clue.

However, these people should not give Mo Yu such clues, and Mo Yu searched for a long time but did not find them.

The marks made by ordinary merchants on horse-drawn carriages are made of metal, which should not be easily burned, and even if they are burned black, you can clearly see the engraved marks.

Mo Yu searched for a long time but didn't find it.

Mo Yu asked the hall master, "Hall master, what kind of wood do you think such a carriage is made of?"

"According to this smell, it should be made of ordinary Rong wood, which should not be able to provide too good clues, and most businesses are made of this wood."

Mo Yu didn't know much about this, but he believed that the Master of the Law Enforcement Hall should be able to know the composition of this wood based on the smell.

Then Mo Yu took out the wooden stick next to him and gently touched the carriage, and the carriage fell apart with a bang.

The metal skeleton also fell, Mo Yu bent down and lightly touched the metal, the temperature was not particularly high, and then picked it up.

He wiped the ashes from the surface with the towel on his body, but the entire surface of the metal was already burned black.

This is a large bracket for wheels, which looks like the quality is still good, and is a solid metal.

The law enforcement hall master continued beside him: "City Lord, this metal is also a general alloy, and there is no way to find out that there is a specific clue to the carriage, but this alloy is not the metal made by most carriages, but it is quite a lot."

"Can you tell what kind of metal this is?" Mo Yu asked softly.

The hall master of the law enforcement hall smiled: "The city lord said that it was funny, because I have worked in the law enforcement hall for many years, I still know a lot about such things, even if there is a lot of ash on the burned surface, I should be able to know what kind of metal this is, this technology is not very commonly used in the manufacture of carriages in the extreme country, it should belong to the second or third, it is an alloy, and it is also an alloy for the beast to make iron covers, the advantage is that it is hard, and then it is more durable."

"But the shortcomings are also more obvious, that is, there is not much elasticity, if it is not particularly good to use it on the body of the carriage, because the carriage needs to transport a lot of things, plus traveling on a bumpy road, it may need some elasticity to be better, can cope with the bumpy road, so this is why this alloy is not too often used in the carriage, the most common metal used in the carriage is in the city, some merchants and some officials are only used in the city, there is no too bumpy road, the movement is stable, It is particularly suitable for the use of this alloy. ”

Mo Yu nodded: "The hall master is really a lot of knowledge, and I really have to follow the hall master to learn some basic knowledge in the future."

"The city lord laughed again, in fact, it's nothing, it's just some common sense in the market."

"You mean that these carriages are probably only used by some merchants in the city, so do you think it is a little strange to transport cloth, and private salt, and possibly other things, so heavy goods are easy to break according to your words, how can such carriages be used?" Mo Yu raised his own questions.

The law enforcement hall master nodded: "What the city lord said is reasonable, too rigid and easy to break, this truth should be understood, in fact, it is said that such a long distance, transporting such heavy goods, it is indeed easy to damage the carriage in the process of traveling, but I think it is not necessarily good luck, because the quality of the carriage is still related to the workmanship, if the workmanship is good, I don't think there is much problem with traveling such a long distance."

"Then look at this metal, there is no trace of forced oppression before it was burned, although this technology is very hard, but I believe that after transporting such a heavy cargo, there are more or less traces, you see that after I wiped it with a towel, the surface is still very shiny." Mo Yu spoke up again to make her doubts.

Then the hall master also came over to look at it a few times, and picked up a few metal rods underneath, and wiped them with the towel on his body.

"The city lord is really discerning, I really haven't found a little bit, I really have some carelessness, and I hope the city lord will forgive the sins." Because the law enforcement hall master saw several such metal rods, which were like this.

"It's true, although such an alloy is very hard, but it should still leave traces after a long time of travel, and this metal surface is really smooth except for black ash, could it be that they are deliberately trying to confuse our audio-visual?"
