"Organ?...... What kind of mechanism?" Gao Jinlou blurted out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"......" Miao Yi really wanted to say and stopped, "It's still the old rule, you all have to guess first!"

The three of them didn't know much about mechanisms and the like, and looked at him blankly.

"Say whatever you want!" Miao Yizhen encouraged.

"Uh...... The subordinates think that it should be ...... It's a wooden cow and a flowing horse......" Gao Jinlou said hesitantly while watching Miao Yizhen's reaction, but he didn't even have the slightest confidence in his answer.

"Wooden Oxen and Flowing Horses?...... Hahaha, near the building, you can figure it out!"

Gao Jinlou's face turned red in an instant, and he whispered: "Those storytellers don't say...... Zhuge Liang's invention of the wooden ox and flowing horse, can carry grain and grass up and down the mountain, as if it were alive?......

"Hehe, that kind of thing is just a legend," Miao Yizhen smiled and twisted his long beard, "Besides, even if there is, assuming that the thieves use this kind of thing to drop the bag, how much trouble will it make?...... How do you get through the watery treasure team and not be noticed?"

"I don't use my brains...... Let the adults smile...... "Gao Jinlou lowered his head."

"Well, near the building, I don't mean to laugh at you...... The truth is analyzed step by step!" Miao Yizhen smiled and turned to Xu Jinshan, "Jinshan, you can tell me." ”

"Uh...... The subordinates guessed that it should be a rope device -- a bit like a reel carrying well water......"

"Rope device?...... How?"

"You can install the device at a high place, and then use a rope to lasso the wooden box, and you just need to turn the device to retract the rope, and the box can be hoisted away...... Oh, and you can also put pulleys and lift boxes too. ”

"It's very good to have such an idea! Back then, the 'Grass Snake Gray Line' Jin Qianli Divine Capture was also so suspicious!" Miao Yizhen applauded, "This is also the reason why it is said that it is possible to be robbed in that Changling Gang......"

"Approaching the building, let people come in and pour water. Miao Yizhen opened the lid of the tea, found that the tea had been drunk, and commanded.

After taking a sip of the freshly brewed hot tea, Miao Yizhen continued: "Jin Shenzhu suspects that the rope device is installed on that hill. The bandits appeared only to distract the people, and at the same time their accomplices hung ropes from the hill and over the heads of the people, and hoisted the boxes away......"

"How is that possible?" Zhao Yanhao shook his head, "How many rope devices do you need?...... Besides, at least someone has to go down with the rope and tie it to the box!"

"Brother Zhao is very right! My thinking is wrong. Xu Jinshan's mind turned quickly, and he changed his mistakes quickly, "Just imagine, there are so many boxes, but in such a short period of time, if there are fewer people coming down, how can they be tied?...... On the other hand, if a large number of people fall from the sky, how can the movement be small? How can it not be noticed?"

That's exactly what happened. Miao Yizhen smiled and added: "There is another important point: it is not just to lift the boxes away, but to replace them with the same number of boxes!"

"Yes, yes!" Gao Jinlou shouted excitedly, "not only must the quantity be the same, but all of them must be stacked in their original state...... Unless it's a god, you just need to blow a breath, and you can replace it all in an instant...... How can mortals do that?"

Therefore, the rest of the gods did not agree with his idea. Miao Yi really smiled with a hint of mockery, "At the beginning, Jin Shenzhu was still unconvinced, and it wasn't until he carefully surveyed the range of several miles from Changling Gang that he didn't insist anymore...... Because, there is no trace of any such device anywhere, or any trace of a box that has been moved......"

With this question in mind, I also went to the field to investigate. Miao Yi really said: "At that time, the rest team was in the plain about half a mile away from the hill. The distance was far away, and the Changling Hill was not high, so it was impossible for the thieves to fall into the ranks with ropes...... Unless the team is resting in the valley and the thieves are climbing down from the top of the cliff......"

"As for whether there are really traces of the rope device installed, because it has been too long, how can I still identify the traces of the year? However, I can still fully believe the sharp eyes of the 'Grass Snake Gray Line' Golden God Catch......" Miao Yizhen paused for a moment and concluded: "Therefore, the possibility of the robbery of Yu Changlinggang has basically been ruled out, and it should be in the Wuli Inn......

Speaking of this, he looked at Zhao Yanhao and said, "Yanhao, tell me, how will the thieves drop their bags at the Wuli Inn?"

"Uncle Shi, the Wuli Inn is not in the valley, is it?"

"Well, on a hill. ”

Zhao Yanhao let out an "oh", and said while thinking: "It's impossible to ...... on the ground The air is also excluded...... That's supposed to be the ground......"

"What kind of way to get off the ground?" Miao Yizhen asked with interest.

"I wonder if it could be the case: there are tunnels under the ground in the backyard - which lead to other places, of course - and the thieves have been carrying boxes for dropping bags beforehand and hiding in the tunnels...... When their accomplices shot out the lanterns, they opened the secret door, ran to the ground, and dropped the boxes......"

Speaking of this, he couldn't believe his own statement, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "How is it possible?...... Even though it's in the dark, how can such a big movement not be noticed by the people who are guarding it?"

"Your thoughts are similar to the 'Needle Hunting for the Bottom of the Sea' Dragon Sea Divine Fishing. Miao Yizhen smiled: "However, many gods do not support this statement. There are two main reasons for this: first, it is impossible for such a large number of boxes to be completed in such a short time if they were dropped by manpower - you must know that the backyard is in complete darkness, and at most it takes half a meal; second, even if it is true, it requires a very large number of people - even if it is ten boxes per person, it will take hundreds of people - to act at the same time, as Yan Hao said, how can it not be discovered?"

Therefore, this possibility is also denied. Miao Yizhen continued: "Among the gods to catch, the most powerful, of course, has to count the 'heaven and earth' Liu Tian's eyes." He also believes that there are hidden passages underground, but when the bag is dropped, it is not with manpower, but with the ...... of organs."

"What kind of organ?" Zhao Yanhao asked with great interest.

He guessed that it should be a pallet and slide device. This device is mainly composed of two pallets and two slide rails, each of which is connected to a slide rail. One tray holds the treasure chest to be replaced, and the other pallet holds the drop box......"

"Uncle Shi, do you mean to say: the floor where the boxes are placed is right on top of a tray?" Zhao Yanhao asked in surprise.

"Exactly. ”

"This ...... It's incredible!" Gao Jinlou's eyes widened, "What a big tray that must be?!"

"At least, the length and width should reach four zhang!" Miao Yizhen waved his hand to signal him not to continue to ask, and continued: "Liu Shenzhu believes that the thieves have already placed the dropped boxes on a tray in advance-and the order of stacking is also the same as that of the treasure chests, when the lantern is extinguished, the device is immediately activated, and the tray holding the treasure box immediately sinks into the tunnel and slides along the slide rail; at the same time, the other tray slides to the backyard with the drop box, and then rises out of the ground to complete the replacement ......"

※※※

"Uncle Shi, I have a question," Zhao Yanhao, who was listening intently, interjected, "Aren't there more than fifty boxes that have not been replaced?...... If you change it like that, won't it all be replaced?"

Regarding this problem, Liu Shenzhuo's explanation is that before the bag was dropped, there were about 50 boxes less on the pallet where the boxes were dropped - of course, the reserved positions also coincided. When the treasure chests sink into the tunnels, the thieves hiding in the tunnels immediately remove the chests that do not need to be dropped, and stack them in the chests. ”

"My lord, do you mean to say that those two slides are in the same tunnel?" Xu Jinshan interjected.

"Yes, and it's placed in parallel. Miao Yizhen took a sip of tea and added, "However, that's what Liu Shenyu meant." According to him, when the device is activated, the two pallets move in opposite directions along the slide rails until they reach the set position of each other, and then they do not stop......"

"But both pallets are moving, how can you move them down and stack them on the other pallet?"

"The speed of movement is not fast," Miao Yizhen explained, "only if the speed is slower, the sound is not loud, so as not to be noticed...... However, they had already calculated that they would be able to ensure that it would be done before the fire was shining again. ”

"I still have a question," Zhao Yanhao pondered, "After the swap, will the ground be different from the original?

"Brother Zhao is right!" Xu Jinshan clapped his hands, "Even if it is very similar, it may not be able to fit perfectly!"

"The reason is this," Miao Yizhen habitually twisted his black beard, "The two trays are already designed to be exactly the same, so after replacement, they can also fit tightly." And the surface of this tray is the ground in the backyard. ”

"Uncle Shi, do you mean to say: on the tray at the other end, there is a ground that is exactly the same as that?"

"Of course, otherwise, how can you hide it from everyone?"

"It's so mysterious!" Xu Jinshan muttered his head and asked in disbelief, "My lord, can you really create this kind of mechanism?...... Besides, where is the other piece of ground?"

"Of course you can, in the rivers and lakes, there are already a group of skilled craftsmen who are good at the secret passages...... Even if others can't, the descendants of Tengzhou Gong's losers will definitely be able to make it...... As for where the other piece of ground is placed, I don't know how to make it, so I don't know...... Anyway, they have a way, it's just a little more work!"

"My lord, my subordinates still have a doubt......" Gao Jinlou, who tilted his head and thought about it, suddenly had his eyes lit up and interjected.

"Say it!"

"Uh...... Since the treasure keepers are next to the chest, is it possible to bring some of them down when the tray is lowered?...... My lord, do you think this will happen?"

"Hehe, close to the building, good question!" Miao Yizhen gave him a thumbs up, "But the situation you said is impossible to happen." The reason is that when resting at night, all treasure guards are never allowed to go near the chests, at least at a distance of one zhang......"

"Why?"

"I'm afraid that someone will quietly take away the treasure!"

"Oh, I see. Unexpectedly, this point has become a big flaw, but it has been used by thieves!" Xu Jinshan sighed.

"Who says it's not?" Miao Yizhen sighed lightly: "The backyard is a courtyard house, the ground is paved with bluestone slabs, and there are verandahs on all sides. The people who protect the treasure are distributed on the verandahs of the four directions......"

"How big is that yard?" asked Zhao Yanhao.

"Eight feet two long, seven and a half feet wide. ”

"Wow, it's not small!"

"Because there are often dart shops, merchants and the like come to stay, this courtyard is originally prepared for them to pile up goods, so of course it is not small. Miao Yizhen pondered: "At that time, the treasure boxes were stacked in the center, and they were still stacked in two layers, with a length and width of almost four zhang......

"Why do you put it in the middle and not stack it on one side?"

"It's not a reason, I'm afraid that the people on that side will make small moves!" Miao Yizhen sneered: "These situations are well known to the thieves, so they are easily dropped by this kind of mechanism." ”

"But no matter what, there will always be a gap between the later tray and the original ground!"

"Seeing that the treasure chest is safe and sound, where will everyone notice such a subtle situation?"

"That's the same!" Zhao Yanhao nodded, thought for a while and asked, "Later, did Liu Shenzhu find this flaw?"

"Nope!"

"No, why, didn't you think of it, or ......"

"Hehe, how could people not think of it!" Miao Yizhen sighed: "Don't say it's digging three feet into the ground, he really digs three feet into the ground, but he still hasn't been able to find a flaw!"

"How can this be?" Zhao Yanhao scratched his head, and suddenly said excitedly: "I understand, the previous tray has been changed back......"

"No, think again. ”

"Hmm...... It's really not right," Zhao Yanhao frowned and thought, "Even if it is replaced, it is not the same whole piece as the original, and it is still easy to distinguish...... Uncle Shi, did you say that Liu Shenzhu had dug the ground three zhang?"

"Yes!"

"That's even more wrong! Aren't there pallets, slides, tunnels, etc., and wouldn't that be immediately discovered?"

"Nope. Miao Yizhen shook his head and affirmed again: "Nothing." Not to mention that there were no such things, and there was no sign that it had been filled with new soil--the soil under the ground was all stale soil, and everyone could see that it had never been turned over-that was to say, the so-called tray and slide device had never been installed under the ground! Not only that, but the gods also demolished the entire Wuli Inn, and dug up the ground three more feet, and the result was still the same!"

"......" The three of them looked at each other in shock.

※※※

Miao Yizhen continued: "The gods were shocked and angry, so they suspected that there was something wrong with the shopkeeper of Nanie, so they arrested him and tortured him until he was dying, and he still insisted that he had no knowledge of this matter. After careful investigation, this five-mile inn is his family's ancestral business, which was built and operated by his grandfather here 80 years ago, passed to him 44 years ago, and has been in business until then. Of course, his family history has also been checked, and it is true that he has been innocent for generations...... Therefore, the suspicion of the shopkeeper has been basically ruled out. ”

Then, the gods began to interrogate the people of the Sanxiang Dart Alliance--as the biggest suspects, they had been detained by the people of the various sects after discovering the robbery--they also flatly denied it. Later, people from all walks of life testified one after another, saying that they really had no chance of committing crimes. But because they couldn't find the stolen goods, they had to be held for the time being and continue to reconnoitre......"

"Naturally, the person who was on duty at the night was also very suspicious...... Do you remember which sects' disciples were on duty at night?"

"Nangong Family, Huanhua Xiao Family, Wudang, Emei, Hengshan, Longhu Mountain. Zhao Yanhao had a good memory and replied immediately.

"Yes. Miao Yizhen smiled and said: "Since these six factions are all well-known sects in the martial arts, the gods dare not offend, so they did not detain them, but talked to them separately and inquired about the situation at that time......

"Hmph, what is there to offend in such a major case?" Zhao Yanhao snorted.

"That's not what people think!" Miao Yizhen sneered: "All sects and factions are very particular about face! If their disciples are imprisoned, how can they keep their faces? If they are involved in such a big case, how much will their reputation be affected? What's more, even if they really find out the real culprit, they will still inevitably offend the other five factions...... Besides, they don't even have the slightest bit of evidence, so how can they have that confidence?"

After detailed inquiry, the people of the six factions basically agreed on the situation at that time. So the conclusion is that none of them, or any person, had any suspicious behavior at the time. ”

"All in all, all factions are suspicious, and none of them are suspicious - not just the six factions, but all the sects involved in the escort. This is the result of their investigation. ”

"The only clue left, and that's the box. So, they went to the 'Weekly Box Number' to investigate. The booking business of the Sanxiang Dart Federation has always been in charge of Yao Ting, the nephew of Yao Yuan, the owner of the bureau. Surprisingly, this time, I finally found a very valuable clue......"

"It turned out that Yao Ting had recently ordered two batches of huge boxes: one was ordered before the 22nd, with the number of 1,100, and was taken away before the 19th, and the other batch was ordered before the 18th, with the number of 900 boxes -- it was said that 100,000 was urgent, and it was requested to be made within one day, and as a result, the ...... was taken before the 17th."

"The boxes ordered before proved to be used for the treasures, both in time and in number, and the boxes ordered later were evident to be for the use of the treasures, and the boxes ordered later were evident to be for the dropping of the packs......"

"Did Yao Ting go to the two orders in person?" Zhao Yanhao's eyes flashed.

"Yes. ”

"In this way, this Yao Ting is the biggest suspect!"

"The gods all think so. Miao Yizhen sighed slightly and said slowly: "They were so excited that they arrested him immediately." However, he only refused to admit that he had only ordered the previous batch of boxes, and he refused to admit that he had killed the latter batch of boxes......"

"The gods were helpless, so they passed the 'Zhou Ji box number' Boss Zhou came to confront him face to face. After the two met, Yao Ting was very excited, and asked him hoarsely why he wanted to frame himself. At that time, Boss Zhou's expression was also very strange, staring at him in a daze for a long time, and suddenly changed his words and said: "It's wrong, it's really wrong, it's definitely not him......!"

The gods were furious and warned him not to perjury. Boss Zhou even said 'don't dare', saying that it was Yao Ting, who came for the second time, although his face and clothes were the same, whether it was his accent or expression, he was not very different from usual. At the time, he was still surprised by this and asked him what was wrong. The man explained that he had a cold last night, and his throat was swollen, and his throat was still sore when he spoke......

"My lord, what did the boss mean that week: the latter Yao Ting is an impostor?" Xu Jinshan interjected and asked.

"Exactly. This man is easily tolerated. Miao Yi really said: "There are those top masters in the rivers and lakes who are good at disguise techniques, and they can make people exactly the same as the object of disguise......

Zhao Yanhao's heart moved when he heard this: "That Dongfang Zhen, who is already dead, will it also be ......?"

"But," Miao Yizhen's words interrupted his thoughts, "No matter how similar the appearance is, as Boss Zhou said, its accent and expression are difficult to imitate so similarly." As long as it is a person who is familiar with the object of disguise, it is not difficult to discern it...... Therefore, I don't doubt the words of the boss that week, and the person who came later must be an impostor. ”

"Later, did you find that impostor?" Xu Jinshan chased.

"No, I don't. Miao Yizhen shook his head and said: "Because the boss didn't think that this person was an imposter at that time, he didn't pay attention to his whereabouts thereafter...... When he hired someone to take the box, he was never found again. ”

"Yes...... Those hired people are definitely not from the Sanxiang Dart Federation...... Didn't Boss Zhou find out?"

"Oh, he only deals with Yao Ting on weekdays, and he never cares about what kind of subordinates he has, and Yao Ting often hires outsiders to carry boxes. So, on this issue, he didn't find anything abnormal. ”

"A team carrying so many boxes, can't there be no witnesses along the way?"

"Maybe there is, but no one cares, they all think it's from the Sanxiang Dart Alliance!"

"But...... Do those gods believe what Boss Zhou said?"

"Will be skeptical. Miao Yizhen sighed lightly: "So, they took Yao Ting and Boss Zhou as suspects and escorted them to Wuli Inn to continue the investigation......"

"Before, didn't they find anything at the Wuli Inn, why did they go back again?" Gao Jinlou was puzzled.

"After checking and checking, I think it is the most likely to be dropped here!" Miao Yizhen shook his head lightly, "The time limit for solving the case required by the emperor is within half a month." But when the deadline is up, they get nothing!"

Speaking of this, he glanced at the three people with puzzled faces, and said lightly: "What is certain is that it is the bag that was dropped in this Wuli Inn!

The three of them looked at him dumbfounded, and they all shook their heads blankly.

"Even that Liu Shenzhu can't figure it out, you guys must not understand it either. Miao Yi really said: "I also came to the scene in person, and carefully investigated - and even brought a little luck - to figure it out...... Let me tell you, the people of the Five Mile Inn - not only the shopkeeper but all the men - are all accomplices of the thieves, and I have found the remains of the secret passage!"
