Mingyu casually stroked his sideburns with his hand, stared at the newly mended wall hole, and said to himself: "One million taels of silver is not a small number, even if it is loaded with a car, it needs to be loaded with dozens of cars." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 With such a big target, it is impossible for them to transport them out of the inn silently. I suspect the money is still in the inn. ”

"Still at the inn?" Song Qi looked at Mingyu in disbelief, deliberately raised his foot and stomped on the floor, stomped loudly, and said with a smile, "Could it be that Tudou also buried the silver in the ground of the room?" Or let's dig up the floor and see. ”

"It's quite possible to be buried in the ground, but it probably won't be buried in the basement of the room where he committed the crime. Otherwise, he would not be a thief, but a complete fool. Mingyu smiled and said, "The group of people we met at the door of the inn today didn't have anything heavy in their hands. If they were a group of people, it should be a big cart and a small cart to be transported outside. ”

"Maybe they've already moved the silver away." Song Qi pursed his lips and said disapprerovingly.

"If they had already transferred the Tibetan silver, they should have gone away and flew away, what are they still doing in the inn, waiting for us to catch it?" Mingyu asked, staring at Song Qi's eyes.

Song Qi smiled and winked at Mingyu, and analyzed it in a straightforward manner: "Tudou They know that it is not so easy to transfer one million taels of Tibetan silver, and the later they are discovered, the better, so that they will have more time to transfer the Tibetan silver safely." The reason why he waited until today to leave was because they had to build the hole in the open wall and then block it with a cabinet to cover up all the traces of the crime. If we hadn't deliberately pursued the matter, it would have been difficult for the guests of the house or even the guys at the inn to find out that the room had been opened. If that is the case, I am afraid that it will be three months later for Bi Fu'an to come to the inn and use the key to open the door of room 1105, and after seeing the hole, he will not be able to find out that the hidden silver has been stolen. ”

"You're right!" Mingyu nodded to Song Qi with a smile, "One million taels of silver is a big goal, even if they are shipped out in a few days, it will still attract attention." Let's ask the shopkeeper and the innkeeper to see if anyone has shipped large things out these days. ”

"Great idea!" Song Qi said.

The shopkeeper and the janitor were brought in, the latter being an old man in his fifties with a gray beard.

"My lord, I wonder what you have to do with me?" Shopkeeper Liu asked with a sad face, looking not very impatient, and he didn't dare to show it, but his attitude was not as respectful as before.

Song Qi didn't care about these subsections, and asked Shopkeeper Liu in a calm tone: "Shopkeeper Liu, let me ask you, the guest in this room, Tudou, lives with one or several people. Has he been carrying a large amount of things out these days? ”

Shopkeeper Liu frowned and thought for a while, and replied, "This room is registered with the name of one person, but there are four people living in it. None of the others were registered. As you know, according to the rules, only one person's name needs to be registered in a room. As for... ”

"Are you sure none of the four of them have registered another room?" Mingyu interrupted Shopkeeper Liu's words and asked.

Shopkeeper Liu glanced at Mingyu, shook his head, and said with certainty: "Absolutely not." As for whether they have other accomplices, I don't know. Then he turned his head to the old janitor who stopped outside the door and said, "Old porter, you come and tell your lordship, has anyone carried a large amount of things out these days?" ”

The old porter walked in a little awkwardly, bowed to Song Qi and Mingyu respectively, and then half-bent over and said in an old and hoarse voice: "No one has moved big things out these days. Because guests who use a car to transport things out of the house must be registered at the concierge. Of course, guests don't need to register if they carry something on their back, because it's not a big deal. ”

"Got it, thank you!" Song Qi waved his hand to the old porter, and the old porter bowed and retreated. "Shopkeeper Liu, let's go to 1105 again."

"Adults just go and see it. One hundred and five did not lock the door. Shopkeeper Liu said, smiling and leading Song Qimingyu back into room 1105.

Song Qi left for about half an hour, and room 1105 did not change, the black hole still cracked there openly, like the open mouth of a giant beast, trying to devour everything in the room.

Song Qi circled around the entrance of the cave twice, squatted down, and looked down at the four walls of the cave, but he didn't see anything famous. At this time, he leaned over and grabbed the floor and put his foot into the hole.

"Brother Song, what are you trying to do?" Mingyu asked a little puzzled.

"I'll go down to the cave and take a look, and maybe I'll find some clues." Song Qi said, grasping the floor with both hands and stepping on the pit on the wall of the cave with his feet, climbing down into the hole step by step.

"My lord, to inspect the things at the bottom of the cave, let's send a soldier or our fellows down to do it, why bother with your lord doing it himself." Shopkeeper Liu shook his head and dissuaded. He felt that a supreme commander in charge of 100,000 soldiers should not do such a lowly thing.

"I'd better go down." Mao Yong grabbed Song Qi's shoulder and said.

"It's okay!" Song Qi laughed, shook off Mao Yong's hand, and reached the bottom of the cave in three clicks. This hole is not deep, it is only a foot deep. The cave is full of potholes, the soil is soft and damp, and there even seem to be traces of water in some places. But there seems to be no silver at all.

"What's in the hole?" Mingyu asked, crouching on the floor at the edge of the hole.

"It's like nothing." Song Qi's voice came out of the cave, and it seemed a little dull.

"Since there's nothing, then you can come up quickly!" Mingyu urged.

"Wait, I feel like I've touched something hard, and it's heavy to the touch." Song Qi said, stood up from the cave, and looked up at Mingyu, "Please hand us a fire fold." ”

Mingyu borrowed a fire pleat from Shopkeeper Liu and threw it down to Song Qi.

Song Qi took the fold of fire that had been thrown down and lit it, although the light of the fire was faint, it was enough to illuminate the bottom of the cave and the four walls of the cave. The four walls are rough and rough, and the digging is neither even nor irregular. Of course, this hole was definitely not dug by hand, but with a shovel and shovel. At the bottom of the cave near the inner wall, there is a bluestone slab five feet square. The bluestone slab and the wall of the cave next to it are not meshed tightly, but there are gaps.

Song Qi put his hand through the gap between the stone and the cave wall, and felt that the stone was not very thick, and the back of the stone was empty.

No wonder the old porter said that he didn't see people carrying big things out. The earth bucket was so cunning that he unknowingly dug a hole in the inn room to lead to the outside. Song Qi shouted excitedly: "Mingyu, there seems to be a horizontal hole on the side of this cave. ”

"Really?" Mingyu looked down at the bottom of the cave and said happily, "Needless to say, the Tibetan silver was transported from this cave to the outside. (To be continued.) )
