Chapter 120_Bizarre Theft [II]

"What?" Gao Ji rose up in anger, slapped the table with his right hand, and shook the teacup that had just been placed on the table. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He seemed to think of something, and immediately touched the strap around his waist, and found that the key he carried with him was still there, and hurriedly asked loudly, "What about the lock?" Can the lock be picked? ”

"Lord Hui, just now the Martial Guards Institute has carefully inspected the lock for the first time, and confirmed that it is intact and there is no abnormality."

"How is this possible?" Gao Ji's expression froze, patting his head and thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure it out.

There is no entrance to the stone vault except for the stone door, and the lock is not broken, how did it be stolen?

It seems that there is only one possibility left......

Thinking of this, Gao Ji suddenly became a little angry.

He left his seat suddenly, and was about to stride forward to the scene of the incident to ask carefully, walked a few steps, and thought that there were still guests, so he had to stop his body again, turned to Li Qingshan and Chen Ruolan and said: "Two, I'm really sorry, this official's mansion has encountered bizarre thefts one after another in recent days, and I don't know how many cases it is, so I was angry for a while...... What a faux pas. ”

Chen Ruolan hurriedly said no, but Li Qingshan asked curiously: "Lord Gao, since the lock is not broken, and the key is not lost, who found out that something was lost?" ”

"Yes Miss!" The servant hurriedly replied, "The young lady just took a key, saying that she was going to take her step, and after opening the storeroom and entering, the stepwalker was no longer inside, so she issued a warning, and the Wuhuyuan went in to check, and determined that the stepwalker was stolen by the thief again." That's why the little one came to report to the adult. ”

"The little girl does have a key there." Gao Ji nodded at Li Qingshan. "But this lock is new, and no one knew about the little girl's key until today, so the problem can only be with the key on me. Alas......"

Gao Ji shook his head and sighed, and then he roughly explained the facts of the case.

It turned out that during this time, his mansion seemed to be targeted by an extremely skilled thief, who was really powerful, and frequently sneaked into the treasury to commit thefts. Although the guards in the palace have been in good spirits and have taken sufficient security measures, it is still to no avail.

In order to prevent further thefts, the official even rebuilt a warehouse a few days ago, blocking all the passages, leaving only a stone door to enter and exit, and a new lock was changed. I thought it would be foolproof. I didn't expect it to be stolen again after only a few days! ”

"Have you always carried this key with you, Lord Gao? Have you ever taken it off when you went to bed? Li Qingshan asked.

Gao Ji shook his head: "When sleeping." I usually press the key under the porcelain pillow and try to take it away, but I am afraid that it will not be easy. What's more, after this person finished committing the crime, he was able to return the key to me again, this method, this official feels terrible when he thinks about it! ”

"Indeed," Li Qingshan was also a little puzzled, "In this way, this thief's skills are indeed good!" ”

The last time he saw Gao Ji carrying a knife, he was obviously a practitioner, he could quietly take the key under his pillow while he was asleep, and he could actually return it after stealing, which was really not easy.

Moreover, there seems to be no need to return it at all!

If someone is really so boring, then there is only one possibility, which is simply showing off skills, or provoking.

Sure enough, I only heard Gao Ji grit his teeth and say: "This thief is not only powerful, but also really hateful, as if he is provoking his own official, he only steals silver objects every time, and does not ......take any other obviously more valuable gold and jade artifacts."

Just now, Li Qingshan was also sighing that this thief was powerful, but when he heard this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he thought of a certain possibility, so he quickly interrupted Gao Ji's words and asked, "Lord Gao, is the thing lost this time also silverware?" ”

Gao Ji was stunned for a moment, turned his head and asked loudly what material the servant had lost this time.

But the servant shook his head and said that he didn't know, saying that he had come in a hurry just now, and he didn't ask in detail. Li Qingshan saw that he was kneeling for a long time, and hurriedly told him to stand up and speak.

"Lord Li, the little girl does have a silver step, and the workmanship is quite fine, it is estimated that this time it is the one that is lost."

Gao Ji was silent for a moment after speaking, and then gritted his teeth again: "Seeing that this thief abandons gold and jade like dung, and only takes silverware, the purpose of this behavior is obviously not money, then it is clearly laughing at the official and helpless against him!" ”

Speaking of this, Gao Ji was so anxious that he jumped a little: "If I catch this person......"

Li Qingshan said with a smile: "Lord Gao, don't worry, this matter seems to be a bit famous...... If Mr. Gao doesn't mind, Miss Chen and I also want to go to the warehouse to have a look, I don't know if it's convenient? ”

"This ......" Gao Ji was a little embarrassed.

The painting competition is getting closer and closer, and he didn't want outsiders to know about it, so he hasn't made it public to the outside world, but fortunately, Li Qingshan is not an outsider, and he ...... He was angry just now, and he basically said the same thing before and after.

He sighed, then nodded and said, "Come with me, both of you." ”

The servant hurriedly came over and walked in front to lead the way, Gao Ji followed, Li Qingshan smiled at Chen Ruolan, said softly, "Let's go", and followed behind.

Although Chen Ruolan didn't know why Li Qingshan wanted to meddle in this matter, she heard that Gao Xueling was also there, so she also wanted to meet with her.

She has wanted to befriend this Miss Gao for a long time, and today she finally has a good opportunity, so she naturally won't let it go.

After a short time, the four of them came to a small courtyard on the west side of the house, and when they looked up, there were indeed many people around the warehouse.

The storehouse was strangely born, apparently newly built, built alone on a meadow, and the walls were made of large ashlar stones, without a single window, and without a stone door, there was no entrance.

Gao Ji also introduced to Li Qingshan along the way just now, after the theft, although the government has strengthened its defense and took turns to take care of it, the original warehouse was still frequently stolen. The most infuriating thing is that the guards in the house don't even know how the thieves got in, let alone solve the case and recover the stolen goods.

In desperation, Gao Ji asked someone to temporarily build this new warehouse. He obviously made a lot of money, not to mention the walls, even the ground is paved with long stones one by one, which is simply solid.

Originally, there was no need to be so troublesome about this matter, but the painting competition was getting closer, and if this matter was not resolved earlier, once it was spread, it would be really bad for the image of Tachibana Xiangyi.

This is also easy to understand, think about if even the official residence of the post commander is allowed to let thieves come and go freely, then of course the security situation here can be imagined, and at that time, who else wants to come all the way to participate in what kind of painting competition?

Thinking of this, Gao Ji took a lot of effort to quickly build this new stone library, originally wanted to suppress this matter temporarily, and then take a good look at it when the painting competition passed, but I didn't expect that even this impregnable stone library couldn't prevent this thief, what a headache!

When they came, the five big and three thick martial guards were loudly reprimanding the several nurseries under them in front of Gao Xueling. (To be continued.) )
