Chapter Seventy-Six: Detective Zhou Xiaocao (15)
PS: It's the weekend again, happy weekend everyone! New Year's Day is approaching, be happy!
Faced with boxes of lost and recovered official silver, all brushed and brushed, a lot of ingots, Xie Bingzhou felt that his breathing was about to be uncontrollable. A kind of bellows-like snorting urge arises, but in the bottom of my heart I always want to hold my breath.
This is not a contradiction. When people are faced with great ups and downs or great joys and sorrows, they will have all kinds of abnormal behaviors and feelings. Legend has it that witch doctors have a way to get a woman pregnant, remember, it must be the firstborn. By the time she was about four months pregnant, the fetus had taken on the shape of a human body. In the same period of time, let her be overjoyed and sorrowful, give her the greatest desire for happiness, and then suddenly kill her, in the midst of all the ups and downs she has experienced, a fatal knife, and then quickly take out the fetus in the womb. This fetus is said to have longevity benefits. Because witch doctors believe that in this process, out of innate motherhood, the pregnant woman will concentrate all the essence of the body on the fetus. In this way, the fetus instantly gathers the life essence of two people, which is the great supplement. Generally speaking, it is eaten directly and the fetus is eaten raw. It's not okay to be slow, because the time for a pregnant woman to concentrate the essence on the fetus is only a moment, and it will not last.
Of course, the author says that these are not for friends to try, this is just a legend, whether true or not, it is a cruel and inhumane practice.
A silver ingot flashed in the light of the candlelight, and the surface of the snow-white silver ingot seemed to have some kind of special light flickering.
It's a special beauty. Many people may feel that, regardless of the value factor, silver is indeed more beautiful than gold. And now, in Lord Xie's eyes, these silver are probably the most beautiful silver he has ever seen in his life.
It's his life-saving money.
At this time, the skinny bodyguard escorted the tied Zheng Zheng down as well. Four people, standing in this silver mountain and silver sea, will be buried.
Zhou Xiaocao looked at Zheng Zheng provocatively, and said with a smile: "How is it, Mr. Zheng?" You can turn the silver out without knowing it, and I can turn it out without knowing it. Hehe, I don't know what Mr. Zheng thinks, which of you and me has a more exciting magic show? ”
Zheng Zheng's eyes sank, and he said coldly: "I admit it, you are very smart. ”
"Hahaha!"
Zhou Xiaocao laughed and said, "That's why I can marry such a good wife, which is much better than you, Mr. Zheng!" ”
Xie Bingzhou grabbed a piece of silver, wiped it with the crumpled official uniform on his body, sighed at the silver, wiped it vigorously, and then put it in his mouth and bit it. Well, two rows of stark tooth marks, it's true, sterling silver!
Xie Bingzhou suddenly turned his head suddenly, grabbed Zhou Xiaocao's arm and said, "Zhou Xiaocao, Zhou Juren is no, Young Master Zhou, hurry up and sue me, what the hell is going on?" Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night and eat! ”
Zhou Xiaocao walked to Zheng Zheng's side and said, "At the beginning, I was also confused by Zheng Zheng's superb magic performance, always thinking, how did the thief transport so much silver?" But then I realized that the thieves didn't take the money away at all! ”
Xie Bingzhou helped the crooked official hat and said, "Didn't transport it away?" So why is it all of a sudden? ”
Zhou Xiaocao looked at Zheng Zheng, but Zheng Zheng turned his back to the sky and didn't look at him at all. Zhou Xiaocao said: "Hmph! A qiē magic show is just a trick. Master Xie, you must know that this basement was designed by Zheng Zheng, and he knows all the structures and mechanisms here best. If you want to do your hands and feet, others can't compare to him. ”
Zheng Zheng snorted from his nose, as if he was quite dismissive of Zhou Xiaocao's explanation. But where would Zhou Xiaocao care about his disdain? Just like a certain god on the Internet said, you look at me with such disdain, in fact, in my eyes, you are not a dick.
At this time, Zhou Xiaocao thought like this.
Zhou Xiaocao paced square steps, stood in the middle of the stone room, sat on a box of silver, and thought to himself, now that my brother and I fart, do we all have the umami of silver?
Zhou Xiaocao pointed at Zheng Zheng and said: "Mr. Zheng's approach is actually very simple, it only takes two simple steps!" ”
Xie Bingzhou was anxious, as an official who often decided cases, he was still very anxious about such headless cases: "Tell me quickly, how can you get through guò in two simple steps, and the silver will be gone." ”
Zhou Xiaocao said to Zheng Zheng: "Mr. Zheng, can you give a reasonable explanation for your proud work?" ”
Zheng Zheng said: "Since you already know, why do you want to ask me? ”
Zhou Xiaocao said with a smile: "I like to expose the magic show on the spot, it's really interesting!" Master Xie, the first step was that he had already thought about it when he built this basement, and at that time, what he built was not one basement, but two! ”
Xie Bingzhou was puzzled: "Two? ”
Zhou Xiaocao said: "Yes, there are two rooms, and they are two rooms that are vertical up and down!" Mr. Zheng, do you remember the first time I accompanied you here? At that time, you said to me, the basement here is five feet underground. But when I got to the bottom, I didn't think it was as deep as five zhang. At that time, I asked you, what did you say? You sue me that maybe the craftsmen cut corners and didn't actually dig that deep! ”
Zheng Zheng didn't speak, twisting his face to the side.
Zhou Xiaocao continued: "You are very smart, Mr. Zheng! But in this matter, you shouldn't be smart but be mistaken by cleverness! If you insisted that this was five feet deep, I might have ignored that. But when you say that, I doubt it! Think about it, when the craftsmen are doing things for the government, he dares to cut corners? It is stipulated that they dig five zhang, but they only dig four zhang? Hmph, the only possibility is that you, the director and designer, told them to do this!
"Actually, you asked them to build two identical stone chambers. And then, with the exact same key! This is just the first step. ”
Xie Bingzhou asked eagerly, "What about the second step?" ”
Zhou Xiaocao pressed down on his hand: "Master Xie, don't worry, let me brew a feeling, I am now moved by my wit and cleverness." ”
Xie Bingzhou rolled his eyes upward, there was no way, now that Zhou Xiaocao has made great contributions, he can't use official authority to suppress him. Or the famous poet Gu Cheng said it well: "The night gave me black eyes, but I used them to roll my eyes." ”
Zhou Xiaocao was deeply moved by his ability, and then said leisurely: "This second step is the simplest. All he needed to prepare was a piece of wood. ”
"A piece of wood?"
Xie Bingzhou felt that his brain was a little insufficient, although he hated Zhou Xiaocao very much, he couldn't help the curiosity in his heart and asked.
Zhou Xiaocao laughed and said to the skinny bodyguard, "Go and pick up that log." ”
The thin bodyguard didn't say a word, walked to the iron cage, reached out to the ground, picked up two wooden sticks, and handed them to Xie Bingzhou. Xie Bingzhou took it and took a look, only to see that the fracture between the two wooden sticks was very smooth, and the wound was new.
Xie Bingzhou asked, "Is this the result of the knife you just made?" ”
Zhou Xiaocao replied: "Yes! Master Xie, this is Zheng Zheng's second step. The silver was placed in the stone chamber below, but he prepared this piece of wood and secretly pinned it to the stone chamber above. So, when we enter the iron cage again, because of this log, the iron cage stops here, and it looks like it has gone down to the bottom. When we opened the stone room, it was naturally empty. In fact, the silver is under our feet! ”
Xie Bingzhou sighed: "What a powerful scheming! ”
Zheng Zheng suddenly smiled: "Actually, I still have a lot of strength." Master Xie, I've been with you for so long, do you know that I'm also a master? Now, there is no one else here, I captured you, you say, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals above, will they let me go? ”
