Chapter 4: Disappearing Out of Thin Air

Chu Yunfei shook his hand: "Don't forget, their search is mainly in restaurants, inns, teahouses and restaurants, and ordinary people's homes are not included. Also, the scope of their search was concentrated in the outer city. This situation will make the thieves plan ahead, and they will definitely worry that after the search of the outer city is over, the inner city will be searched next. So their top priority is to transfer those treasures as soon as possible. ”

"That's why you suspect the sedan chair? Do you think they would dare to blatantly transfer those stolen goods in broad daylight? It's unlikely, right? Li Yijian snorted coldly.

Chu Yunfei sighed: "The most unlikely thing is often the most likely to happen. While you were leaving, I went to the store and asked, the box was stored there for 1,000 taels of silver the day before the Treasure Pavilion incident, and the shopkeeper said that he looked at it at that time, and it was full of calligraphy and paintings, which were not worth much. But don't forget, that shop is very close to the Royal Street, which is also the authentic exit! Judging from the footprints left by the sedan chair man, the contents of the sedan chair were very heavy, and when the weight of the woman could not have increased, the only possibility was that the box contained a lot of heavy things, such as gold and silver treasures. ”

Li Yijian said "En", "You tell me first, is it possible that the box is filled with what we are looking for?" ”

Chu Yunfei's face was relaxed: "Although I'm not very sure, I can be sure that the things in the box are from unknown sources." There are several reasons for this: first, the noble lady who wears gold and silver does not look like a rich person at all, it is difficult for a rich person to pretend to be poor, and it is even more difficult for a poor person to pretend to be rich; Second, the shopkeeper said that the men did not check the contents of the box. Combine these two points,...... The contents of the box must be very suspicious. ”

Li Yijian looked at him suspiciously: "Are you sure?" ”

Chu Yunfei smiled: "I'm not sure!" But Li Zhutou, think about it, isn't it strange that a female dependent doesn't go out with a ring, but lets a big man accompany her? With that alone, I'll definitely check it out. ”

Li Yijian frowned and left, Chu Yunfei smiled as bright as a flower, which made him very annoying! However, he still informed the yamen of Chu Yunfei's conclusion.

Chu Yunfei knew that Li Yijian must have been skeptical of his words. However, he believes that with Li Yijian's suspicious personality, he will definitely not let go of this opportunity. As he expected, after discussing with Lord Fu Yin, Li Yijian led people to surround the courtyard.

"Are you sure you won't miss this time?" Facing the confident Chu Yunfei, Li Yijian still had a skeptical face. Judging from the people who were rounded up, they don't look so much like the legendary well-structured jade butterflies, but rather like street thugs.

Chu Yunfei touched his nose: "I can't pack tickets, and they don't necessarily be criminals who steal the Treasure Pavilion." But even if these people had nothing to do with the Treasure Pavilion before, they have a relationship now! ”

Li Yijian looked at Chu Yunfei in confusion. When he saw the big box that he had searched out, as well as the things in the box that were exactly the same as those registered for the Treasure Pavilion, he finally understood the meaning of Chu Yunfei's words.

All the officials at the scene breathed a sigh of relief, and a heavy stone pressed on their hearts could finally land.

The prefect and King Liang, who arrived later, also smiled.

"Don't rejoice too soon. Don't you think it's too easy to find out these things? Chu Yunfei's lazy voice sounded again at an inopportune time.

Li Yijian frowned, he hated self-righteous people the most, especially this self-righteous Chu Yunfei.

"What do you mean by that?" King Liang glanced at Chu Yunfei.

Chu Yunfei pointed to the box: "These stolen goods are too easy to find. How could the murderer be so easily caught by us when he planned for such a long time? You might as well see if these things are real or fake? ”

King Liang's face sank, he knew that Chu Yunfei would never joke when the case was decided, especially on this occasion. He walked straight to the chest, and from a distance, it seemed that these were indeed the items that had been lost in the Treasure Chamber. He picked up a piece of jade casually, shone it at the light, his face changed suddenly, he couldn't seem to believe his eyes, and then turned out a few things to check them, and then he was completely stunned: "Oh, these things are not right, they are all imitations!" ”

Chu Yunfei didn't even have a trace of surprise on his expression, as if all this was expected by him.

Li Yijian's color changed greatly, he strode over, took out the things in it and took a closer look, and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Wang, are you sure that this is a fake?" ”

"Not bad." King Liang nodded: "These things look exactly the same at first glance, but they are definitely not genuine, but imitations. If you don't believe me, you can ask the owner of the Treasure Pavilion and the connoisseurs who identify antiques to come and have a look. And ......"

King Liang swallowed the next words. Chu Yunfei knew that what King Liang wanted to talk about was the Jade Guanyin that was not lost among those treasures.

Li Yijian found out the man who was with the sedan chair in the morning, but the questioning did not go well, he insisted that he didn't know anything, just followed the woman to the royal street, and then carried the box back, as for what was in the box, what Chu Yunfei was looking for, he didn't know at all.

"If you continue to ask like this, there will be no result, so let me ask." Chu Yunfei suddenly interjected: "Tell me first, what kind of place is this?" Who is the owner of the yard? ”

Li Yijian said in a deep voice: "The owner of the courtyard is called Li Sanweng, and this is just one of his other courtyards. A few months ago, they moved their family to Luoyang, which became the world of these little hooligans. ”

Chu Yunfei looked at Li Yijian with a little surprise. After a while, he asked, "Who is in charge here?" ”

Li Yijian shook his head. He investigated, and it was said that the Li family did not leave anyone to guard the courtyard.

Then, Chu Yunfei asked a useful clue from the man's mouth: a few days ago, a noble lady appeared here and was willing to pay a hundred taels of silver to hire these people, the purpose was just to let them go to the street to hire a sedan chair first, and then use the sedan chair to transport back the boxes stored in a storefront. And the man said with certainty that the woman he was talking about was not the woman in the sedan chair, but someone else.
