2. People are counted as nine points, and heaven is determined by one point

"It's so complicated! I get dizzy when I see it. Seeing the housekeeper running around and a series of actions to open the mechanism, Li Xuanqing couldn't help but sigh: "If I were a thief, I would rather rob the palace than come here to steal things." ”

Li Xuanqing said this, which also proves that she has insufficient experience in the rivers and lakes. If she had seen the organs of the Shengong and Shenji families, it would be a small country that could protect the country and compete for the world.

When the door was opened, everything in the Treasure Pavilion was untouched, and there was a large net on the top of the head and on the ground, with a sharp blade tied to the net and a bell hung.

Looking at these, Li Xuanqing asked, "Chief, didn't you say that you have closed all the organs, why are these things still there?" ”

Li Xuanyi on the side said: "Although the mechanism has been closed, it does not mean that the arrangement inside will be revoked." And I need to see the crime scene as it is in order to analyze it. ”

In order to see if there were any clues left at the scene, Li Xuanyi used light skills to walk around the house. This trick made the head catcher stunned. The whole net was under his feet, but only a slight sound came out.

After returning to the same place, Li Xuanyi opened his mouth and asked, "Lord Steward, when you found out that the things were stolen, there was no sign of any mechanism in the Treasure Pavilion at that time?"

"Yes, it is precisely because of this that after the master and the catchers entered many times, I can be sure that the scene has not changed. However, due to the earthquake, some of the items inside were slightly offset. ”

"I see. Li Xuanqing was startled and said: "The thief must be an internal ghost, otherwise he would not have turned off the mechanism and entered the treasure pavilion to commit crimes." ”

"Miss. The governor explained: "All the offices were open. ”

"How is this possible. ”

Li Xuanyi said: "Although you saw the housekeeper's method of turning off the mechanism just now, you didn't see that you still need some tools to turn off the mechanism." ”

"The young master is really careful in his observations. Yes, to turn off these mechanisms, you have to borrow some tools. And these tools have traditionally been the only possession of the general manager. ”

As soon as he said this, Li Xuanqing looked at the manager with suspicion.

Before he could speak, he was flicked on the head by Li Xuanyi.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

"I know what you're thinking. But since it has been kept by stewards for generations, it will definitely not be so simple. ”

"Yes, although I can turn on and off all the mechanisms, the activation of the opening and closing valves requires the key and method of the head of the house. ”

"The mechanism on the ground has not been activated, so what about the above?" After that, Li Xuanyi made another light effort and flew to the beam.

The net above the head is a double-layer net, one on the beam and one under the beam. Even if the opponent doesn't touch the mechanism, it is not easy to walk in it without moving. If you want to enter through the roof, you will encounter the upper net, and if you want to climb the beams to enter, you will encounter the net below. Unless, the other party has reached the form of gathering qi and walking away.

After everything was checked and nothing was found wrong, Li Xuanyi sent it away with both hands and fell to the ground. "Put away all the nets. ”

"Yes. ”

I saw the chief steward press a few times on the left-hand door frame, and the four hanging ropes on the ground net slowly pulled it up to the roof.

"Sir, which cabinet is the treasure clothes in? Looking at the many cabinets, boxes, and boxes with seals on the opposite side, Li Xuanyi asked.

"Young master, Baoyi is not in this room. ”

"What! not here, what are you doing with us wasting your time here? ”

"Don't worry. Li Xuanyi said: "The housekeeper naturally has his reasons for doing this. ”

Sure enough, the housekeeper immediately explained: "Miss, although Baoyi is not in this room, if you want to go to the scene of the crime, you must pass through here." ”

"Oh, why is that?"

"Because the real treasure trove, I'm afraid it's in front of this treasure, right?"

"The young master is right. With that, the manager walked to a god case and turned the treasure fan in the hand of Taishang Laojun placed on it.

A passage appears on the ground.

The underground treasure house covers more than the treasure pavilion above, and the air inside is fresh, neither dull nor damp.

Inside, rows of oil lamps are lit on the walls around the city, and a fist-sized night pearl is placed overhead, illuminating the place as bright as day.

Li Xuanyi looked around and found that this underground treasure house was completely made of huge stones. Although there are no mechanisms inside, all the treasures are special chests, especially the one that contains family heirlooms.

Not only is the sword difficult to break, but there are also five locks on it, which require five different keys to be used at the same time to open.

But now, the box was in good condition, and the lock was not damaged, but when it was opened, the contents were not in it.

"Now there are a lot of questions, I will first pick them up and then solve them one by one. ”

"It's a good idea, and we've always focused on solving a problem when we think of it, maybe all the problems have a certain connection, and it can give us a hint. ”

"Come on, don't sell it. Li Xuanqing was already impatient beside him.

"First, how the thief got here without touching the mechanism, second, how he opened the chest, third, what is the use of the treasure thief stealing the treasure clothes, and fourth, whether it was just a simple theft or whether there was something else behind it. ”

"This ...... Perhaps this man is a master of the mechanism, and he has already destroyed the mechanism. Li Xuanqing spoke first.

"Since the other party has destroyed the mechanism, we don't have to bother so much now to come in. ”

The head catcher said: "Could it be that the other party is strong and has escaped all the organs." ”

"If that's the case, it means that the other party still touches the mechanism, so that the alarm will inevitably sound everywhere, and no one will know. ”

"If you say that, could it be that the other party is a master of the mechanism, and he closed the mechanism in advance. After stealing the treasure clothes, open the mechanism. ”

Li Xuanyi said: "The second uncle of the switch of the organ has movement there, and it is even more impossible that there will be no reaction. ”

"So how did the other party get in? If this problem is not solved, the remaining problems will be even more troublesome. ”

Li Xuanyi looked at the ground and said thoughtfully: "Could the other party have dug through the ground, and then moved the floor away and then entered." After all, the huge stone slabs on the ground were made together, not a single piece. ”

"Li Gongzi, we also thought of this situation, so we checked the ground. The stone was too heavy to move on, so we poured water into the ground and didn't find anything wrong. ”

At this moment, Li Xuanyi felt a slight tremor under his feet, and at the same time, the gold chain hanging the night pearl above his head also shook slightly.

Seeing this scene, Li Xuanyi had a flash of inspiration and understood: "Everyone, I thought of it, it was an earthquake. ”

"Earthquake?" asked in unison.

"Yes, not long ago, there was a big earthquake in the town outside the city, and even we felt it strongly. But what does this have to do with this case?" asked the headcatcher.

"Originally, thieves came to the treasure house by digging tunnels, and as long as they poured some water on the ground, the place where the water penetrated quickly was the hole dug by the thieves. However, a major earthquake has changed the tight structure of the land here, so that everyone can not find the reason why the other party came in silently. ”

"Even if he can explain how the other party got in, how did he manage to steal the treasure clothes in the box?"

Li Xuanyi said: "Since the other party came in in a different way, then we can't think about how the other party stole the treasure clothes in a conventional way." So I had a bold idea that I had to put to the test. ”

The box was opened, and several old people looked around it carefully for a long time.

Suddenly, one of the old men pointed to a place in the box and said with some excitement: "No, it's gone." ”

Li Xuanyi hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Uncle Jiu, what's missing." ”

"Here, this is it. Uncle Nine pointed to a place and said, "There was originally a notch here, which I once carved to commemorate it." The last time I opened the box to dry the treasure clothes, it was still there, but now it's gone. ”

After sending away a few old people, Li Xuanyi said to everyone: "It seems that the opponent has changed the entire box." ”

"This, how is this possible?" said the butler with some disbelief, "This box is not an ordinary product, it is impossible to copy. What's more, since the other party can make exactly the same box and the same lock, why doesn't he just copy the same key?"

Li Xuanyi said: "Although this box is more complicated to make, the real technical work is the lock and key on the box. The keys are scattered on others and cannot be copied for a long time. But the lock on the box is different, although there are many mechanisms outside, but there is no one inside for a long time, and they feel that this place is absolutely safe. And it is precisely because of this that the other party can observe and copy the lock on it for a long time and steadily. ”

"No wonder. The head catcher reacted: "After the incident, we did not make a public announcement, but only announced that the key to the box was lost, and offered rewards to all kinds of locksmiths to open the five elements lock on the treasure chest, but no one has been able to open it so far." ”

"So, if you want to check, you have to start by making this box, the lock on the box, and the key. I don't know who made this box. ”

The housekeeper said: "According to the old housekeeper, it was created by someone from the Shenji family. ”

"The Divine Machine Family!"

Hearing this name, even Li Xuanyi, who had always been calm, was a little surprised: "You mean, the 'Organ City' Shenji Family, which is famous all over the world for its mechanism skills and is as famous as the 'Divine Skill Family'. ”

As he was talking, the steward who had gone out to inquire about the development of the case came back.

The steward came back with two pieces of news. The first is that there has been no progress on the merits of the case, and the second is that similar cases have occurred in other cities.

Although it is not a good thing to have something stolen, Li Xuanqing thinks it is a good thing.

Of course, she is not gloating, but feels that the other party has committed a crime once or twice, and may not leave a trace of it. But if there are too many times, there will always be a little flaw.

But according to the steward, the situation in the house of the thief was the same as in the house, there was not a trace of it around, and the chest containing the treasure was intact and did not appear to have been damaged.

"Then what kind of treasure did the other party lose? Li Xuanyi asked.

The steward said: "It is said to be the 'Quartet Luminous Glazed Stone'." ”

"What kind of treasure is that, what does it look like, what are the characteristics?"

The steward said: "This thing is square, the surface is smooth like glass, and it can shine at night." Most importantly, it is naturally occurring. ”

"Well, I understand, and I'll send someone to inquire in many ways to see if there are any other similar cases. ”

"Yes. ”

￥￥￥

The city of organs is located on a plain, where the wind and rain are smooth all year round, and the material is abundant. The only drawback is that there is no danger to defend.

But the agency chose this place. Are they not afraid of foreign enemies, or do they think that the world is unified and there can be no more wars.

As soon as he entered the city, Li Xuanqing was attracted by the novelty here.

The biggest feature here is the variety of mechanisms.

When he was outside the city, Li Xuanyi saw a huge net in the city, which was high and bulging, covering the city.

At first, I didn't know what it was for, but when I got to the city, I found that there were many chairs tied to the big net, and many people were sitting on the chairs, moving over the city.

Not only in the sky, but also on the ground are full of self-propelled horses, self-owned people, self-propelled sedan chairs, etc.

However, a few people did not come here to visit, so after entering the city, they inquired about it, and went directly to the Baibian Building in the center of the city.

The Organ City is composed of three major organ families, namely the Gong Yi family, which is known for its offensive organs, the Mo family, which is famous for its defense, and the Zhai family, which specializes in auxiliary organs.

When Li Xuanyi came, the patriarch of the Gongyi family was asked by the imperial court to design weapons against the Hu people in the north and the Japanese on the seaside.

The head of the Mo family and the head of the Shengong family studied how to improve the safety facilities inside the house.

Therefore, what Li Xuan saw was the head of the Zhai family, "Yi Bo Yuntian Sai Meng Wei" Zhai Yunyi.

The man was under sixty years old, tall, athletic, and had a dark and healthy complexion. Like his nickname, he is the kind of person who treats people politely and boldly.

Seeing Li Xuanyi, Zhai Yunyi hugged his fists and said enthusiastically: "It turned out to be the eldest son of the Li family, I heard Brother Tianshou say that you are young and promising, and you are the best candidate for the next head of the family." ”

"The gentleman praised it falsely. ”

"How is your second uncle doing lately?"

"TOEFL, TOEFL, my uncle is still in good health. ”

"By the way, after talking for a long time, haven't you asked you what is the matter here?" Zhai Yunyi didn't beat around the bush, and asked directly.

"This ......" was asked like this, and Li Xuanyi didn't know how to speak if he was about to make a roundabout.

"Big man, don't talk like a girl and squirm. If there is anything to say, I can help, I will do my best. ”

"I do have something to ask for, but I don't know how to speak. ”

Saying that, Li Xuanyi told Zhai Yunyi about the things at home and his thoughts.

"Well, the theft of a family heirloom is really not a trivial matter. As for your conjecture, there is also this possibility. Then have you ever thought that the Shengong family also has such an ability. ”

"It is true that the two families of Shenji and Shengong are comparable in casting, but in the following opinion, the possibility of the Shengong family is relatively small. ”

"Oh, do you think that the character of our Shenji family is inferior to his Shengong family. I still think that your four major clans, namely, scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants, have a close relationship, and this kind of thing will not happen. ”

Li Xuanyi hurriedly explained: "Senior Zhai, don't get me wrong, because that box is made by the Shenji family. Although the two families of Shenji and Shengong are the same, they also compete with each other. If they give that box to the Shengong family, then once they make it, they will definitely hype it up. After all, the five-element lock on the box is a unique secret of the Shenji family. If so, this is a clue to my inquiry. So the first thing that comes to my mind is the Organ City, and I hope that my predecessors will forgive me. ”

Zhai Yunyi said: "Although what you said has some truth, if the other party comes to our copy box, we should also know." ”

"Maybe there are people in your city who don't love fame and fortune and just want to challenge the difficulty. Of course, this is also a conjecture below. If there are no clues here, then I will go to the Shengong family to continue the search. ”

"Hmm. Zhai Yunyi touched his beard and said, "This matter is not so easy to find. The three major families in the city are all willing to take the work, but if the things they make cause trouble, the person who made the things is fully responsible. Unless he reports it to the police and asks someone from above to help. But everyone has a competitive one, who is willing to let others see that they can't do it and ask for help. If the person who made the box doesn't want to say, then we're really hard to look up, so you might have to wait a few more days. ”

"Then there is Lao senior. ”

"Where the words. Come, prepare the banquet and clean up the guest room. ”
