Jiang Xie followed the direction that Huo Yijun was looking at, and his gaze also fell on the shallow draft of the hull.

"If the official silver and the purple lazuli are robbed, the waterline on the ship will inevitably rise, but Lord Jiang now looks at it, the waterline on the ship has not changed, and the warning line has always exceeded the normal level."

Jiang Xie nodded and agreed with her statement: "That's right, the overall weight of the transfer official ship has not changed, so the official silver and purple lazuli should still be on board!" ”

"Someone! Offal! ”

The crew of the ship obeyed his instructions, and selected a few people with the best water ability to jump into the water and swim to the bottom of the transfer officer's ship.

The surface of the water was calm and calm like a mirror, in stark contrast to the previous night's rough waves, lightning and thunder.

Jiang Xie and Huo Yijun kept staring at the location where the crew had been launched, waiting for them to surface again.

"Are we right?"

Maybe it was because he had waited for a long time, Jiang Xie's tone seemed a little unconfident.

Huo Yijun glanced back at him: "Lord Jiang, you have to be confident, believe in your own inferences, and the facts are in front of you, and there will be a conclusion soon." ”

After being appeased, Jiang Xie was patient and continued to wait.

"Whoa—"

Several people who had launched surfaced and waved to the official ship they were on.

"Two adults! There are a few boxes under the official ship! ”

The crew swam in this direction, and the help of the people on board climbed back to the ship with the help of a rope ladder.

"Tell me carefully!" Jiang Xie's tone was eager.

As the crew spoke, he pointed to the direction of the bottom of the transfer officer's ship: "My lord, I swam over just now, and the reason why it took so long is because I found a few boxes at the bottom of this boat, and I swam over to try to open them, but I couldn't open them with the strength of the three of us." ”

"Chests? Can you see what's inside? Huo Yijun asked, "How are those boxes placed at the bottom of the boat?" ”

The crew said, "If you go back to your lordship, the box is fixed and hung from the bottom of the ship, so it should only be done temporarily, and maybe it will be unloaded after going ashore." ”

"In your experience, where can these boxes hang from the bottom of the ship go, and where can they run aground?"

"In my opinion, at most, I can only go to Chang'an Wharf, and from the bottom it will become downstream. The downstream water is shallow. If there is a box under the official ship, it will definitely hit the reef, so this ship must dock at the Chang'an wharf. ”

Jiang Xie nodded "um".

After that, he gathered all the crew members except the one who was at the helm of the ship to go into the water and salvage the box.

And he and Huo Yijun passed through the sampan between the two ships, and got on the transfer officer's ship, waiting for the crew to salvage the boxes from underwater.

Time passed, and the crew salvaged one large box after another from under the water, and these boxes hidden at the bottom of the ship were the boxes for official silver and purple lazuli.

Everything was as they expected.

There are really people who are guarding and stealing themselves, pretending to make the illusion that the official ship is missing, so as to arrange the official silver and purple lazuli at the bottom of the ship to hide from the world.

What a ploy.

The time left for the three adults has also come.

Huo Yijun and Jiang Xie returned to the cabin, Xiang Xiu and Malallow were guarding them, according to the request, none of the three of them moved, and waited for the two of them to return.

"Have you figured it out all three?" Huo Yijun walked into the cabin and asked this sentence first.

In the quiet atmosphere, they looked at each other, and then looked up at Huo Yijun and Jiang Xie, stunned that no one made a sound.

The two of them sat down, and their eyes fell on them again.

"It's okay if you haven't thought about it, I'll tell you for you."

Huo Yijun stood up again, hugged his arms and said: "Lord Jiang He, you didn't answer the question you asked before, I think it's because you are controlling this ship, according to the Daye Hubu Cao Transportation Law, Zizuli is an important raw material for the foundry industry, and it must be unloaded when it is shipped back from the southwest." ”

"You took advantage of your position and did not unload the purple lazuli on the ship, but hurriedly arranged the task of transferring the official silver, so that the purple lazuli and the official silver, two things that cannot exist at the same time, exist under your arrangement, and this is the role you played in this joint theft."

Jiang He flatly denied: "No, it's not like this!" ”

Jiang Xie slapped the table suddenly, and the teacup on the table trembled three times: "Is this the case, wait until you get off the ship, check it, don't you know who arranged this transfer official ship to escort Guanyin to the southwest?" ”

Huo Yijun continued: "With Guanyin and Purple Lazuli, the next thing is to need a perfect rhetoric, an object that can blame and be believed. ”

"That's what Master Dong is going to do next, from the first time we saw him, he forged a lie about a wizard coming on the ship to rob him, why is it a lie, there are three evidences."

"First, if the people on the wizard bandit ship want to get on the ship and hurt the crew on the ship, it will inevitably cause a fierce fight, but there are no traces of a fight on the ship, not even a single footprint, which means that the murder scene exposes everything."

"Second, there are indeed wizard bandit boats, and you also cleverly use them to take the blame, but what you don't know is that there was indeed an encounter in Jinghe Bay, but the object of the encounter was not you, but the villagers of Jinghe Village."

"You pretended to use this story of the villagers of Jinghe Village fighting the wizard bandit ship to make up this experience, but you forgot, we will still verify it, we asked Old Madam Feng, your lie is actually self-defeating."

Huo Yijun looked at Dong Qingshan, and his eyes were a little deeper: "This experience is too contradictory, and it is the easiest to be confirmed, so I was the first to suspect and be confirmed." ”

"This gives me reason to believe that Lord Dong said this on purpose, in order to arouse my suspicions, am I right?"
