Chapter 30 Vents

His eyes were in a trance again, and when he opened his eyes again, the black-clad detective was standing not far away, holding a pocket watch in his hand.

"Director Lom?"

Oreo raised his hand, "Your pocket watch has dropped." ”

Lom subconsciously reached out to take it, and the pocket watch fell into his palm, which felt dry and cold to the touch, indicating that the cold sweat that had oozed from his palm was not there at all.

"It's only 49 hours, and that's the most extreme speculation, there's no way they're going to send an army to search the storehouse, so I think there's something going on in the palace."

Oreo turned his head, "Director Lom, do you say so?" ”

Apparently still struggling with what had just happened, Lorm said subconsciously.

"Yes......"

He reacted halfway through speaking, so he lengthened his tone and changed his words, "It's possible." ”

"I'm not doubting you,"

Oreo patted Lom on the shoulder, turned and walked back to the way he came, "I mean everyone in the palace can't get off suspicion...... Except, of course, His Majesty Bedford. ”

Walking into the previous room, the excavation was carried out quite successfully, except for the two soldiers who helped deliver the tools, the rest of the soldiers were digging underground with a puff.

“......”

Oreo coughed twice, "Guys, I think you can stop." ”

Several soldiers stopped, and the leader poked his head out from below, he had already taken off his military hat, and his head was covered with beads of sweat.

"My lord, this soil is freshly filled, I'm sure."

Hearing this, Lom became excited.

"Quick, dig down!"

"Stop."

Oreo waved his hand, "Since the soil is freshly filled, what's the point of digging it up?" ”

Lom seemed to think victory was imminent, and he said with a dance in his hands.

"By following the soil, we can know where this tunnel leads."

Oreo said in a deep voice.

"Director Lom, I'm not questioning you, I'm just trying to say, what can we do knowing where this passage leads, do you think we'll be able to catch those guys?"

"Of course ......"

Lom quickly figured it out, and he said in disappointment, "Of course not, it's too late." ”

"So stop it, fill it back in with the excavated soil, and hand over the floor tiles to a professional craftsman to repair them."

Oreo explained as he commanded the soldiers to crawl out of the pit and face the bewildered crowd.

"We have determined where those people came from, at this moment, they have taken the money of the Okasim Empire and flown away, what we need to do now is to quickly report this discovery to the border guards, this is a matter of urgency!"

The soldiers seemed easily incited, staring at each other nervously, a sense of mission in their pupils.

"Quick, go tell Lord Vader!"

Oreo commanded the soldiers out of the storeroom, and after they left, he turned around and looked Lom up and down.

"Director Lom, is there anything else you have to say?"

Lom hesitated, he didn't know whether to say it or not.

"Your Excellency...... IMHO...... Our findings don't seem to make any sense. ”

"You're wrong."

Oreo shook his head solemnly, then picked up the vat from the ground.

"First, we got a taste of the 169 Ocassim Salute, which alone was worth the trip; Second, we know how those people got into the storeroom, and this discovery is enough for you to deal with; Thirdly, the earth has been backfilled, which means that the treasury will not be burglarized a third time, and your position is secure; Fourth, and most important......"

Lom asked, confused.

"What is it?"

Oreo scratched his head, "Where's the cafeteria, I'm hungry." ”

Rom's expression grew exaggerated.

"Your Excellency, what is the fourth point you mentioned?"

Oreo put his finger under his nose and sniffed it, it must have been sour.

"That's the fourth point, my friend, that having enough to eat is essential for a detective."

Holding the overwhelmed Rom, the two walked out of the warehouse side by side.

Except for the managers on duty, the guards who should have been at the door of the warehouse were gone, presumably alarmed by the discovery just now.

After deciding the location of the cafeteria with Lom, Oreo walked briskly in which direction.

Walking under the boulevards of the palace once again, Oreo naturally had mixed feelings.

Cutting through the path on the lawn, Oreo looked around, and when he was sure that no one was following him, he ran back to the storeroom.

There are two floors in the warehouse, the first floor is used for office and the basement is used for storage.

There are people working upstairs, how can that gang of thieves dare to dig tunnels, let alone fill in the earth!

Besides, the soil under the storehouse is dead soil, don't these mentally retarded people know this common sense!

Oreo scurried out of the woods and trotted against the edge of the storeroom, soon reaching the middle of the building, where there was a vent.

If someone did break into the warehouse, they must have gotten in through this vent!

That bastard who struck first stole a dragon's eye!

There are only two dragon's eyes in the entire continent of Ekassina!

Surveyed and stopped in front of the vent, because it had not been tended for many years, and the vent was full of vines, but now the vines had been pulled apart by someone.

"As I expected."

Oreo slammed his mouth, he was about to open the bars when a pair of eyes suddenly lit up on the other side of the bars.
