Chapter Twenty-Nine: Victory in Hold

"You two go over there and take a look first, and when a few of them bring the tools and start working, the rest of you go around elsewhere, and I'm sure your nose is as smart as mine."

I don't know when Oreo took over the command of those soldiers.

He held an Ocassim salute in his left hand, and his expression was leisurely, far less anxious than his tone suggested.

With Oreo's reassurance, the chaff-like Lom gradually calmed down, and he also held an Ocassim salute in his left hand, which Oreo didn't know when he stuffed it.

Putting the wine in his mouth, Oreo swallowed the wine in his mouth until the mellow wine spread on the tip of his tongue.

"Don't be so nervous, Manager Lorm."

"I ...... I just don't know..."

Lom was obviously still struggling with Oreo's speculation, "I just don't know why there are other entrances and exits in the storeroom, which is a mistake in design." ”

"You're right, but the smell of wine doesn't lie."

Oreo continued to soothe Lom while clinking glasses with Lom holding the giant decanter.

With a sip of red wine, Lom calmed down a little.

"Lord Oreo, the entire warehouse is an integrated design, absolutely monolithic, if there is really any other passage, it can only be underground."

"I think so too."

Oreo poured wine for Lom, "But this is no small project, it is necessary to dig a passage to the underground of the palace treasury, which may have been excavated since the founding of the Okassim Empire, but you and I both know that this is not logical. ”

Lom chimed in.

"It's impossible."

Oreo was about to say something, but the footsteps of the soldiers, each carrying a box on their backs and holding various tools in their left and right hands, were already fully armed.

"Worthy of the Griffin Army."

Oreo exclaimed and looked at Lom.

"Director Lom, there's no way to tell if there's a passage below from the echoes of the floor, and our actions are tantamount to wreaking havoc on the storeroom...... Is it convenient? ”

Normally, this would have been a problem, but Lom knew that if he caught the real culprit a day later, he would be one step closer to death.

Compared with the stinking scolding caused by breaking the rules, it is obviously a disaster of killing that is even more unbearable.

Determined, Lom asked quickly.

"Lord Oreo, are you right?"

Oreo shouted.

"My judgment may not be accurate, of course, but the open Ocassim salute is not deceiving, and neither is the smell of wine in these rooms. You said that the front entrance of the storehouse is impregnable, and that the outlaws can only enter and exit the storehouse through other exits, so we find the wine-smelling rooms, which are the places where the gang can escape. ”

Without waiting for Lom to speak, Oreo waved his hand.

"Guys, get moving!"

The soldiers hesitated, but seeing that Lom did not object, they took chisels and lifted the floor tiles one by one.

While they were busy, Oreo pulled Lom aside.

"Director Lom, how is the shift in the treasury arranged at night?"

"According to the rules, it is a shift every hour,"

Lom hesitated, "But when the former director was still around, he acquiesced to the two-hour shift, knowing that the treasury is too big......"

"Once every two hours?"

Oreo nodded, "I've lost two batches of things in the storeroom, can I ask what I'm missing?" ”

Lom said.

"The first time I lost a batch of gold coins, the second time I lost a batch of treasures, and the two thefts were lost a week apart."

Oreo didn't ask about the details of the "treasure" like the others, but strode along the passageway.

It took a while for Lom to realize that he was measuring the length of the passage with his footsteps.

"Every two hours,"

Oreo said to himself, "The storeroom is counted at nine o'clock in the evening, and I assume that the count is finished at ten o'clock, and if the door is opened at seven o'clock in the morning, then there will be nine hours in the evening."

Taking into account the time spent avoiding night watchman patrols, the group had about seven hours of free time each night, or 49 hours in seven days.

Mr. Lom, do you think you can find the treasures accurately in 49 hours, and be a man who knows nothing about the arrangement of the storeroom? ”

Lom clearly knew what he was going to say, and he grimaced.

"You're saying those guys have an internal response?"

"It's obvious,"

Oreo smiled, "But you've already looked into this matter, right, so let's speculate in another way."

That is, the group was far more numerous than we could have imagined, and they did it in 49 hours, but a new question arose, why did they take the gold with them in the first place? ”

Before Lom could speak, Oreo broke him.

"Mr. Lom, you know with your ass that it can't be two batches of people, so you'll have to tell me how many gold coins you lost the first time."

Through the strange smile of the man in front of him, Lom already knew his true purpose

- He must have wanted to inquire about the treasures!

"It must be a lot of money, right, so big that it alarmed the whole of Turin."

Seeing that Lom didn't speak for a long time, Oreo took his top hat from under his armpit, put it in front of his nose and waved it,

"If such a passage really exists, then it must be some organization that has done all this, and when you think of the treasures that were stolen later, the answer is almost imminent...... I just don't know if it's the East Ikra or the Venada? ”

Facing Oreo getting closer and closer, Lom took a half-step back, his eyes flustered against the stone wall.

His instincts told him he should tell Oreo the truth, but he had been gag-agged and could never name the treasure to anyone!

Oreo was not in a hurry to ask, he continued to shake his top hat, and the frequency gradually increased.

As he fanned, Lom felt his blood turn cold.

Suddenly, at some point, Oreo stopped what he was doing, and he flipped the top hat over, and a cold light flashed in the depths of the top hat

- It's a pocket watch!

His gaze was uncontrollably focused on the second hand of his pocket watch, and in the next moment, an answer came out of his mouth

- "Dragon's Eye, what is missing is a Dragon's Eye!" ”
