Chapter 537: Chen Kan's reasoning
"The cloth and thread used in this brocade are very expensive, and a girl in red came to buy it a month ago, but then this clue is broken."
"Feihua, I don't think you didn't find out." Chen Kan looked at the two pieces of red brocade and said.
"What do you mean by the total head catcher?"
"That embroidery thief should be called a stitch removal thief." Chen Kan said.
"Yes, I also found out that the embroidery thief was not embroidering at all, but dismantling the flowers, and the man embroidered two layers on this brocade handkerchief, and then removed the upper layer on the spot, so that it looked like he was embroidering, who would have thought that he was actually dismantling the flowers." Tie Feihua nodded and said.
The reason why they will find this is because there is a stitch at the very top of the flower embroidered on this brocade that has not been removed.
"But it's much more wide-ranging." Tie Feihua said.
"Yes, this is a bigger range, but basically what is certain is that someone is blaming the red shoes, Feihua, you immediately get in touch with Gongsun Lan to see if anything unusual has happened recently."
"I'll do it right away." Saying that, Tie Feihua turned to leave.
Subsequently, Chen Kan personally went to the palace of the Nine Princes, at this time Jin Jiuling and Liu Dufeng were investigating here, the relationship between the six doors and the Nine Princes has always been good, and Chen Kan was not hindered from entering the palace directly.
"Mr. Chen, you have to investigate this matter."
"Don't worry, the ninth prince, this matter already has some eyebrows."
"Okay, if you say that you are always arrested, then I will be completely relieved, this matter will be handed over to the six doors, and I will not let anyone interfere." The Nine Princes said with a smile, what he meant in this sentence was that someone wanted to interfere.
Chen Kan nodded: "Then thank you Ninth Master, now I want to take a look at the treasury first." ”
"I'll take the chief catcher myself." Saying that, the Ninth Prince didn't give Chen Kan a chance to speak at all, and directly took Chen Kan's hand and walked to the treasury.
On the surface, the ninth prince looks like a naughty boy, uninhibited, likes to deal with people, fights crickets, sings, and plays in the world, which seems very unreliable, but in fact, this is just a means for him to avoid political self-preservation.
"What was stolen this time was a very precious jade unicorn."
"Didn't you say there's another dice?" Chen Kan asked.
"There is a dice, it seems to be called the Six Divine Dice, that is not an important thing at all, it is just a toy, it is not fun at all, I found a lot of masters in order to crack it, but no one can crack it, I have long stopped playing, that seems to have been given to me by the emperor when I was very young, it was a tribute from the Western Regions, except for the special metal used, nothing else, and it is ugly."
"Then why did the embroidery thief steal the dice?" Chen Kan asked.
"Maybe it's because the dice and the jade unicorn are put together."
"Hey, you don't care about this dice, it's gone, it's gone, the main thing is the jade unicorn, the jade unicorn, that's really expensive." The Nine Princes said with a sad face.
Chen Kan pondered for a while and asked, "After the incident, who was the first to enter the scene?" ”
The Nine Princes said: "After I knew the situation, I didn't allow anyone to get close to the treasury, I didn't even know what was missing, until the people from your six doors arrived, and the head of the golden catcher was the first to arrive, he surveyed the scene, but he didn't see any clues." ”
With that, the two of them came to the door of the treasury, which was guarded by two sergeants.
"Ninth Master, Mr. Chen's head catcher."
"Open the door." The Nine Princes took out a key from his sleeve and originally intended to hand it to the two of them, but then he retracted it and said, "I'd better come by myself." ”
After the treasury was stolen, the Nine Princes immediately asked the world's first skilled craftsman Zhu Zhu to change a new lock, this time there was only one key, and the Nine Princes kept it personally.
"Can this door be closed from the inside?" Chen Kan asked.
"Of course not, this can only be locked from the outside."
"Where's your key?"
"There were two keys before, one was in the hands of the chief manager Jiang Chongwei, and the other was kept by me, but no one except me knew where it was, I promise." The Nine Princes said with certainty.
"Hmm!" Chen Kan nodded, Chen Kan still believed in this, the Nine Princes seemed to be unreliable, in fact, he was very smart, the most important thing was that he was greedy for money, this treasury was his lifeline, and it was impossible for him to let people know where the key was stored.
Jiang Chongwei is the person he trusts the most, because Jiang Chongwei has saved his life three times before and after, and the Nine Princes once said that the most trusted person in the world is Jiang Chongwei, then himself, and the third is money.
Chen Kan checked the situation in the treasury, there are really a lot of good things in it, all of them are valuable things, but it is said that the most valuable one is the jade unicorn, and the thief is very discerning.
Before discovering the embroidery thief, Jiang Chongwei had brought a box in, which contained the treasures of the nine princes from all over the world, and after the box was placed, Jiang Chongwei left, and then closed the door, but soon after closing the door, a guard came to tell him that there was a strange sound in the treasury, and he quickly took someone to check.
When I opened the door of the treasury, I saw a person sitting on the box embroidering, dressed in red and masked red, and shot out a few silver needles to shoot everyone present into blindness, and then fled.
Chen Kan checked the box, and at this time, all the treasures in the box had been taken out, leaving only an empty box, and after checking the box, there was no mechanism, it was just an ordinary box.
"It shouldn't be possible to hide in this box and be carried in, I've been studying this box for a long time, but there's nothing strange about it, and if you want to hide in the box, the weight is different, and it will definitely be detected." The Nine Princes said.
"What do you mean by the Nine Princes?"
"I wonder if someone would steal the key, make a copy of it, and then come in."
"No, it won't." Chen Kan shook his head without thinking.
"Why?"
"First of all, the first question, this treasury can only be locked from the outside, so how did the embroidery thief lock the door from the outside after entering?" Chen Kan asked.
The Nine Princes thought for a while and said, "This shows that he has accomplices, and after the embroidery thief came in, his accomplices locked the door again." ”
"Yes, that's a possibility, but now there's a second question."
"What?"
Chen Kan smiled and said: "Ninth Master, let's make a hypothesis, suppose that if you are a martial arts master, you know the patrol time of the treasury guard force, and there is an internal response in the palace, in this case, when you have the key to this treasury, then what will you do?" ”
"Of course, I slowly stole all the things in the treasury, there are so many good things in it." The Nine Princes said without thinking about it, and then looked at Chen Kan in shock.
Chen Kan said with a smile: "That's right, this approach of the Nine Princes is in line with common sense, not deliberately making a sound to be discovered." ”
"So you mean someone did it on purpose?" The Ninth Prince said in surprise.
"I've got seven layers of certainty." Chen Kan patted the box and said.
"What's that purpose?"
"Then who was the biggest suspicion in your heart before the Ninth Master?"
"Red Shoes." The Ninth Prince covered his mouth and looked at Chen Kan: "You mean that someone wants to blame Red Shoes." ”
"Yes, the ninth master of the red shoes should have heard of it, and their targets are the forces of the East Factory and the West Factory."
"Yes, those geldings."
