Chapter 268

Ye Xiaotian and the others turned the Directorate upside down. In the end, they returned to the scene of the theft in exhaustion. In fact, they shouldn't have searched the Imperial College so quickly, but although the Imperial College was large, there were limited places to hide the silver. Moreover, it was impossible to hide the silver in crowded places, so they searched quickly.

After returning to the scene of the theft, they looked at each other with dispirited expressions. Le Siye coldly said, "How is it? Can you wash away the suspicion of the Imperial College now? "

Kuai Peng couldn't be bothered to talk to him anymore. Le Siye sneered, raised his head, and left disdainfully. The more Kuai Peng thought about it, the angrier he became. He fiercely punched the door and cursed, "Motherfucker! This time, not only did we lose the bet, but we also have to bear the infamy of swindling charity money in the name of doing good. What bad luck!"

Mao Wenzhi rubbed his nose and said to Ye Xiaotian in embarrassment, "Big Brother, we haven't eaten lunch yet. We've been busy the whole day. Why don't we go eat something first?"

Ye Xiaotian rolled his eyes at him and said, "You only know how to eat. Just stay here and behave."

Ye Xiaotian walked in front of Kuai Peng and slowly said, "Brother Kuai, don't be anxious. Tell me about the situation yesterday when you delivered the silver. What happened along the way? Did you meet any special characters? Don't miss out on anything."

Tang Xianzu also came over and said, "Right, tell me. Let's brainstorm. Maybe we'll find some flaws."

Kuai Peng already didn't have any hope. He lazily said, "What's special? I had the waiters of the Hundred Dining House carry the silver box out of the restaurant. Constable Xing brought more than ten bailiffs to greet us. Those bailiffs protected the waiters all the way to the Imperial College.

The closest yamen to the Hundred Dining House is the Imperial College. It's only three streets away. Along the way, although there were bailiffs watching outside, I didn't relax at all. I kept an eye on them and didn't stop along the way … Oh, right, I stopped at the second intersection because there happened to be a wedding procession passing by. "

Tang Xianzu's eyes lit up. "A wedding procession? Wouldn't someone take advantage of the chaos to get close to the silver box? "

Kuai Peng said, "How is that possible? After the waiter put down the silver box, he stood guard at the four corners. There was also a circle of bailiffs outside, who could get close? Even if he was a godly thief, it was still possible to steal one or two silver ingots. How could he empty three silver chests in front of so many people? When the wedding procession passed, we continued until we reached the warehouse and didn't stop? "

Tang Xianzu was unwilling to give up. "Did you encounter any special people or incidents along the way?"

Kuai Peng said, "No." When I arrived at the Guozi Institute, I ran into Yue Siye. I flashed the Imperial Uniform Guard's medallion and explained the situation to him. At first he wasn't very willing, but when he heard that their students were also involved, he agreed. He led me to the storeroom and took out the key to open the door. He told me to bring the chest in and gave me the key before I left. Putting silver in a place like this, it's not like it's something light. How could I have thought something would happen? "

Ye Xiaotian frowned as he listened. He waited for Kuai Peng to finish speaking and thought about it carefully for a long time. However, he did not notice anything strange. Ye Xiaotian turned around and walked into the warehouse. He carefully observed the situation inside. This warehouse was a place to store miscellaneous items. The items were all piled up by the wall. Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi had also looked through it, but there was nothing.

Ye Xiaotian walked over to take a closer look at the boxes, especially the lock noses that had been pried open. He looked up and found that other than the main door, there was only a small window at the top. The window was as tall as a person and he couldn't reach the windowsill even if he stretched out his hand.

Ye Xiaotian walked out of the warehouse and looked around. When he went around to the top of the building, he saw a small window at the top. Because this warehouse wasn't facing the south or north, the gable wall faced the sun, so there was a window here. There was a pile of bricks under the window. Ye Xiaotian stepped on the bricks and went up to observe the window.

The windowsill was covered in dust and there were cobwebs on the windowsill. He reached out and pushed, but the window didn't budge. Ye Xiaotian took a closer look and found that the window was nailed to the windowsill. The nails had long rusted and there were no signs of it being newly opened. He couldn't help but shake his head and jump down from the pile of bricks.

Kuai Peng said dejectedly, "You didn't find anything? Should we tell Hongke about this? "

Tang Xianzu sighed and said, "He will know even if you don't tell him. But what's the use if he knows? In the end, the silver disappeared without a trace. "

At this time, two odd-job workers carried a table over. It was made of pear wood and was very heavy. There were two bookshelves under the table and the two odd-job workers had a hard time carrying it. When they walked to the door of the warehouse, the odd-job worker behind couldn't help but call out, "Old Niu, take a break, take a break, my hands are tired."

The one with the surname Niu was holding the edge of the table with his hands behind his back. When he heard the voice of the person behind him, he stopped and put down the table. He turned around and laughed, "You only walked a few steps and you want to take a break again? Your body has been hollowed out by your wife, right? "

"F * ck off!" The odd-job worker behind scolded with a smile. He moved his wrist and said, "It's better if you are in front. My legs are against the bookshelves when I take a step. Of course it's strenuous." Hearing this, Ye Xiaotian suddenly raised his head and stared at them with a strange look in his eyes.

The two people didn't notice Ye Xiaotian's strange look. After chatting for a while, they lifted the table again and slowly walked forward. Ye Xiaotian subconsciously followed them. Just as the person said, he didn't take any tools and only used his hands to lift the table. Because his body was too close to the table, his knees would be against the bookshelves when he took a step. He could only take small steps and it was abnormally strenuous.

The two people carried the table and gradually walked out of the moon door in front of them. They disappeared after turning a corner. Ye Xiaotian was still standing there, staring at the direction they left in a daze. Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi looked at each other and walked up to ask, "Big brother, what's wrong?"

Ye Xiaotian murmured, "I can't lift it, rest for a while. I can't lift it, rest for a while … "

Mao Wenzhi said, "Big brother, why do you care if they rest or not? Besides, they can't hear you making such a small noise."

Ye Xiaotian suddenly turned around and rushed in front of Kuai Peng. He grabbed his shoulder and said impatiently, "Brother Kuai, you just said that after you left the restaurant, those waiters carried the silver boxes until they met the wedding procession at the second intersection. They only rested for a while after that, they walked all the way here and didn't stop?"

In his excitement, Ye Xiaotian grabbed Kuai Peng's shoulder until it hurt. Kuai Peng noticed Ye Xiaotian's abnormality. Seeing his excited expression and flushed face, how could he not know that Ye Xiaotian had discovered something? He couldn't help but feel a little nervous and quickly replied, "That's right!"

Ye Xiaotian said, "What do you mean by they didn't stop? They carried the silver boxes all the way to the warehouse door and didn't put them down to rest? "

Kuai Peng thought about it and said with certainty, "Yes, they didn't stop all the way. The silver boxes didn't leave their shoulders and they didn't stop either. What's wrong?"

Ye Xiaotian let go of his hands and said happily, "I understand, I understand! No, it doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense! Hmm? It makes sense, it should make sense, but … "

Ye Xiaotian suddenly turned around and ran into the warehouse. The few of them knew that he must have found something and quickly followed him in. They saw Ye Xiaotian rush to the corner and open the silver boxes. He stuck half of his body in and no one knew what he was looking for.

Kuai Peng said blankly, "What is he looking for? What is it that you understand, but can't explain, and can understand? "

Mao Wenzhi scratched his head and said, "I don't know either. If I knew, I would also have my big brother's ability."

Kuai Peng heard and couldn't help but roll his eyes at him. Ye Xiaotian withdrew from the box and rubbed his fingers against the sunlight shining in through the window. He couldn't help but say happily, "I understand, I finally understand!"

Kuai Peng couldn't help but ask, "What do you understand?"

Ye Xiaotian's face was full of joy. "Let me confirm it again!" After saying that, he ran past Kuai Peng like he was flying. When Kuai Peng and the others chased him outside, they saw Ye Xiaotian moving bricks under the mountain wall.

He squatted under the wall and carefully moved the bricks. He picked up a green brick and looked at it like it was a treasure. Then he put it aside, picked up another one, looked at it carefully, and put it on top of the brick he moved. Very soon, he cleared a piece of ground and stared at the ground carefully to observe.

Seeing Ye Xiaotian's action, Tang Xianzu's expression changed and suddenly revealed a happy expression. He blurted out, "I understand, hahaha, I understand too!"

This time, Kuai Peng was really anxious. He stamped his feet and said, "I say, what do you understand? Tell me quickly, I'm going crazy from anxiety!"

Tang Xianzu smiled and said, "I only guessed 70% to 80%, hahaha, wait for Little Brother Tian to tell you exactly what it is."

At this time, Ye Xiaotian had already stood up and said to Kuai Peng, "Brother Kuai, please make another trip and find Yue Siye and the treasurer here."

Kuai Peng couldn't help but say, "Little Tian, what did you discover?"

Ye Xiaotian said with a smile, "There's no harm in telling you. But when Yue Siye and the others come, I have to say it again. It's better if you invite them here, then I'll tell you all at once."

Kuai Peng's heart was itching from Ye Xiaotian's teasing, so he could only hurry to find Yue Siye. Yue Siye had just reported the results of today's search to Chancellor Tian Mingdao. Hearing that the Directorate had basically gotten rid of the suspicion, Chancellor Tian's expression became much better, but he still reprimanded Yue Siye.

Yue Siye knew that he was in the wrong, so he naturally agreed obediently. After Chancellor Tian finished reprimanding him, Yue Siye came out of the Chancellor's room. Just as he let out a long breath, Kuai Peng came looking for him. When Yue Siye heard that Ye Xiaotian had discovered the key to solving the case, he couldn't help but be shocked. "Don't go around in circles and suspect my Directorate again?"

Yue Siye didn't dare to be negligent. He hurriedly called the clerk in charge of the warehouse and rushed to the wall of the stolen warehouse. Before he could ask anything, Ye Xiaotian had already rushed to ask, "Lord Siye, who placed this pile of bricks under the window?"

How would Yue Siye know such a small matter? He was startled and turned to look at the clerk. The clerk thought for a moment, but also had no impression. Ye Xiaotian said, "Who is in charge of this warehouse? Please find them immediately, don't leave a single one behind."

The storekeeper did not know what was going on, but since Sir Siye had no objections, he naturally did as he was told. He immediately ran away, and not long after, he called over all the odd-job workers in charge of the storage area. There were a total of seven people, including the two who had been carrying the table.

When Ye Xiaotian asked them, the seven of them were at a loss and didn't know how to answer. They didn't pile bricks on the wall of the house, but they also didn't notice when there was an extra pile of bricks on the wall of the house. Who would pay attention to these things?

When Ye Xiaotian heard what they said, he finally laughed out loud, "I understand, so that's how it is! So that's how it is! "
