Chapter 545: Clues
Li Changbo stared at the bloodstains for a moment and judged: "There are not many bloodstains, so the injury should not be serious." β
Fu Shiyi also nodded: "Look at the blood flow is indeed and is dripping on the ground, he should have stayed here for a while." β
"But there was no extra blood nearby, so maybe his bleeding stopped, or it was bandaged." Fu Shiyi said softly: "Of course, it may have been taken away quickly." β
"Have you touched anything here?" Fu Shi asked the apprentice again and again.
The apprentice shook his head: "No." β
"Then there's almost no sign of a fight." Fu Shiyi pointed around: "There is no trace of the thing being impacted, although it is messy, it can be seen that it is placed normally." Neither knocked over anything nor broke anything. β
"Another one, it's movement, there is movement underneath, and you may be able to hear it on the stage."
The apprentice nodded repeatedly: "It was quiet at that time, and there was almost no sound. If it's a fight, it's not just the stage that can be heard. β
Fu Shiyi stood next to Li Changbo, looked up at the mechanism, and asked a very practical question: "Will you fall down if you jump from such a height?" β
Everyone subconsciously looked up at the mechanism.
And then discovered...... It's quite high, indeed. Almost one person tall.
And they looked at the apprentices.
The apprentice was stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted: "Where is the stool!" What about the stool that my master stepped on! β
He looked around, and finally found the stool: "Who moved there?!" β
The stool is wider than the horse stool, and it has steps, which is probably convenient for people to get up and down.
Li Changbo looked at the apprentice and said slowly: "When you found that the person was missing, where was the stool?" β
The apprentice was stunned for a moment, and then a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind: "There was no more at that time!" We were so busy looking for people that no one thought of that! β
Li Changbo glanced at Fu Shiyi, Fu Shiyi understood what he meant, coughed and explained: "If he didn't know that there was no stool under him and jumped down directly, he would definitely fall." Maybe I'll faint at that moment. Or maybe it's hurt. β
Li Changbo glanced at the apprentice again: "Did you hear the sound of wrestling?" β
The apprentice shook his head: "No, if we feel abnormal, we will have someone come to see it." β
The illusionist has a total of two apprentices, one helps on the stage, and the other is responsible for collecting rewards everywhere with a tray.
There is also a miscellaneous servant.
The servant was not in the background either.
In other words, none of the three of them knew what was going on behind the scenes at that time.
Fu Shi began to check carefully.
It's just that apart from the puddle of blood, there's nothing strange about it.
The blood had not been stepped on, and there was no trace of contamination. By this time it had dried up and penetrated the planks.
Fu Shiyi pressed it with his hand, but it was not dry yet, and it could be stained on his hand.
And it can be rubbed in other places.
Fu Shiyi glanced at Li Changbo and said his inference: "The blood stains have not been trampled on, but the place here is not spacious, if he walked by himself, he would definitely accidentally step on it, or get it." β
"So he was taken by someone else." Li Changbo said slowly, looking around: "But who took him away?" β
Fu Shiyi shook his head: "I don't know." β
Suddenly, one of the apprentices shouted, "It must be those who covet the alchemy of turning stones into stones!" Someone from them always comes and asks my master to do something that turns stones into gold! But how dare my master agree? It's fake, after allβ"
Fu Shiyi was happy: this kid is quite sincere.
The apprentice seemed a little embarrassed and smiled awkwardly: "It's really fake." β
Of course, Fu Shiyi knew that it was fake.
If there is really a bit of alchemy in the world, then what is it all so hard to do? It's time to learn this way of taking shortcuts.
"Then do any of these people hate your master?" Li Changbo asked, groaning slightly.
The apprentice nodded, "Of course." When they don't invite people, they are not happy, and sometimes they quarrel. But it all scared my master. β
"Scare?" Li Changbo grasped these two words.
The apprentice smiled awkwardly: "My master sometimes uses illusions to scare people. He will conjure a beast like a tiger. He even transformed into a white crane and a bird. β
Fu Shiyi was curious: "Then other people really believe it?" β
The embarrassed smile on the apprentice's face says it all.
Although Fu Shiyi didn't know what the principle of illusion was, he figured out that most of the principles were similar to magic. And in the final analysis, it is a phantom word.
That is, fake.
Fu Shiyi took a deep look at Li Changbo: "If you really take people away like this, then ...... What will happen if the other party finds out that the illusionist does not know how to turn stones into gold? β
Li Changbo's expression was cold, and he slowly spoke: "I'm afraid that there will be more evil and less luck." β
Xu Kun couldn't help but speak out at this time: "That...... Can people be recovered? β
The two of them glanced at Xu Kun and were silent.
Xu Kun: ......
Fu Shiyi continued to investigate the scene, and then really found a little clue.
Around the corner, a chest had a brass buckle cocked up, and a little piece of cloth hung from it.
A very thin piece of cloth. There are also a few hairs on it.
When an apprentice saw this, he immediately exclaimed, "This is Master's clothes!" β
I didn't recognize whose hair it was.
"It's a cramped and sad place, don't you usually go through here?" Fu Shiyi didn't care about the cloth, just asked.
Several apprentices nodded: "That's the storehouse, and the sundries are usually not passed from here." β
Fu Shiyi cautiously went in, and didn't go inside, just looking at the footprints on the groundβbut he seemed to be diligent, and there wasn't much ash on the ground.
Instead, there was a lot of dust on those boxes.
There was only one box, and there was no dust at all.
Fu Shiyi called an apprentice in: "Do you see if there is something missing here?" β
The apprentice looked at it stunned, and then nodded: "It's something missing!" One less camphor box! β
Everyone else also looked over, looked at the lid of the box without any dust, and speculated: "Did someone take it away in a box?" β
It was still the apprentice, and at this time he seemed to remember something: "Yes, yes, yes, this room has a back door!" Get out here, right next to the back door! It's just that we're all locked upβ"
Fu Shi walked through, and sure enough, he saw a door.
On the ground at the door, a lock was dropped.
Fu Shiyi and Li Changbo glanced at each other.
Then she pulled the door open.
The back door hadn't been opened for a long time, and grass had grown under the threshold outside.
Fu Shi could see at a glance that the grass had traces of being trampled.
Li Changbo said softly: "It seems that they are leaving from here." And it took people away. β
Several apprentices looked at each other, a little flustered and worried: "Master, nothing will happen to him!" β
Fu Shiyi said honestly: "It's hard to say. β
