Chapter 537 Chen Kan's reasoning
"The cloth and thread used in this brocade are very expensive. A month ago, a girl in red came to buy it, but the clue goes down."
"Feihua, I think you can't have discovered it, right?" Chen Kan said, looking at the two red brocade parquets.
"What does the chief constable mean?"
"That embroidery thief should be called the stitch removal thief." Chen Kan said.
"Yes, I also discovered that the embroidery thief was not embroidering flowers at all, but was dismantling flowers. The man embroidered two layers on this brocade handkerchief, and then removed one layer on the scene, so that it seemed like he was embroidering flowers. Who would have thought that he was actually dismantling flowers?" Tie Feihua nodded and said.
The reason they discovered this was because there was a needle and thread at the top of the flower embroidered on this brocade handkerchief that had not been removed.
"But this will make the range even bigger." Tie Feihua said.
"Yes, this will make the range even bigger, but basically what is certain is that someone is blaming Hongshao and Feihua. You can contact Gongsun Lan immediately to see if there is any abnormal situation recently."
"I'll do it right away." Tie Feihua turned around and left.
Afterwards, Chen Kan went to the Ninth Prince's Mansion in person. At this time, Jin Jiuling and Liu Dufeng were investigating here. The relationship between Liushemen and the Ninth Prince has always been good, and Chen Kan was not blocked from entering the Prince's Mansion directly.
"Captain Chen, you must check this matter carefully."
"Don't worry, Ninth Prince, this matter is already a little bit obvious."
"Okay, if you have the chief of the general, I will be completely relieved. I will leave this matter to the six doors, and I will not let them interfere with anyone." The Ninth Prince said with a smile. The meaning of his words was that someone wanted to interfere.
Chen Kan nodded: "Then thank you Master Jiu. Now I want to take a look at the treasury first."
"I will take the chief chief personally." As the Ninth Prince said that, he didn't give Chen Kan a chance to speak at all, and directly took Chen Kan's hand to the treasury.
On the surface, the Ninth Prince looks like a naughty boy, unrestrained and likes to mess with people with something, fighting crickets, singing operas, and playing in the world. It seems very unreliable. In fact, this is just a means of avoiding political self-protection. If he deals with many forces, his ability can be seen if he is safe and sound.
"What was stolen this time was a very precious jade unicorn."
"Didn't you say there is still a dice?" Chen Kan asked.
"There is a dice, which seems to be called Liuren Dice. It is not an important thing at all, it is just a toy. It is not fun at all. I found many experts to crack it, but no one can crack it. I have stopped playing it for a long time. It seems that the one given to me by the late emperor when I was very young. It was tributed by the Western Regions. Except for the special metal used, there is nothing else, and it is also ugly."
"Then why did the embroidery thief steal this dice?" Chen Kan asked.
"Maybe it's because the dice and the jade Qilin are put together."
"Oh, don't worry about this dice, it's gone. The main thing is Jade Qilin, Jade Qilin, that one is really expensive." The Ninth Prince said with a sad face.
Chen Kan pondered for a while and asked, "Who was the first to enter the scene after the incident?"
The Ninth Prince said, "After I knew the situation, I did not allow anyone to approach the treasury. I didn't even know what I lost. I waited until the people from the six doors arrived. Captain Jin was the first to arrive. He inspected the scene, but did not see any clues."
As they said that, they arrived at the door of the treasury, where two soldiers were guarding it.
"Master Jiu, Chief Chief Chen."
"Open the door." The Ninth Prince took out a key from his sleeve and originally planned to hand it to the two of them, but then he shrank back and said, "I'd better do it myself."
After the treasury was stolen, the Ninth Prince immediately asked Zhu Tinglai, the world's most skilled craftsman, to replace it with a new lock. This time there was only one key, which the Ninth Prince personally kept.
"Can this door be closed from the inside?" Chen Kan asked.
"Of course not, this can only be locked from outside."
"Where is your key?"
"There were two keys before, one in the hands of the general manager Jiang Chongwei, and I kept the other one, but no one except me, knows where my key is. I promise." The Ninth Prince said with certainty.
"Yeah!" Chen Kan nodded. Chen Kan still believed this. The Ninth Prince seemed unreliable. In fact, he was very smart. The most important thing was that he was greedy for money. The treasury was his lifeblood. He could not let people know the place where the key was stored.
Jiang Chongwei is the person he trusts the most because Jiang Chongwei saved his life three times. The Ninth Prince once said that what he trusts the most in the world is Jiang Chongwei, and then himself, and the third is money.
Chen Kan checked the situation in the treasury and found that there were really many good things inside, all of which were valuable things, but it is said that the most valuable one was the Jade Qilin, the thief, who was very sensible.
Before discovering the embroidery thief, Jiang Chongwei brought a box in, which contained treasures from the ninth princes from all over the world. After putting the box, Jiang Chongwei left and closed the door. However, shortly after closing the door, a guard came to tell him that there was a strange noise in the treasury, and he quickly brought people to check it out.
When I opened the treasury gate, I saw a man sitting on the box embroidering flowers, wearing red clothes and masking, and shouted and shot out several silver needles to shoot everyone present as blind, and then ran away.
Chen Kan checked the box. At this time, all the treasures in the box had been taken out, leaving only an empty box. After checking the box, there was no mechanism, just an ordinary box.
"It should be impossible to hide in this box and be carried in. I have studied this box for a long time, but there is no strange place. Besides, if you want to hide in the box, the weight will be different and you will definitely be noticed." said the Ninth Prince.
"What does the Ninth Prince mean?"
"I was wondering if someone would steal the key, copy it and then come in."
"No." Chen Kan shook his head without thinking.
"Why?"
"First of all, the first question is that the treasury can only be locked from the outside. So how did the embroidered thief lock the door from the outside after coming in?" Chen Kan asked.
The Ninth Prince thought for a while and said, "This means he has an accomplice. After the embroidery thief came in, his accomplice locked the door again."
"Yes, this is indeed a possibility, so there is still a second question."
"What?"
Chen Kan said with a smile: "Master Jiu, let's make an assumption. If you are a martial arts master, you know the patrol time of the treasury guards and there are internal agents in the royal palace. In this case, when you have the key to the treasury, what would you do?"
"Of course, I will slowly steal all the things in the treasury, there are so many good things inside." The Ninth Prince said without thinking, then was startled and looked at Chen Kan.
Chen Kan said with a smile: "That's right, the Ninth Prince's approach is in line with common sense, rather than being discovered by intentional sound."
"Then what you mean is that someone did this on purpose?" said the Ninth Prince in surprise.
"I have seven layers of confidence." Chen Kan patted the box and said.
"What is that purpose?"
"So who was the biggest doubt you had in your heart before?"
"Red Shoes." The Ninth Prince covered his mouth and looked at Chen Kan: "You mean someone is going to blame Hongshoe."
"Yes, Jiu Ye should have heard of the style of red shoes. Their targets are the forces of the East Factory and the West Factory."
