Jin Yi Shi Niang (Detective)

This subordinate is Jian Qiang's minister, named Jian Guang.

Lan Yinger lifted the hem of her skirt, and first carefully surveyed the gun/powder research room. She even moved the bookcase against the wall.

Jian Guangdao: "Miss Lan, although the backyard cannot be seen from the side, it is surrounded by walls, and there are heavy guards around the walls, so it is impossible for anyone to go out from the backyard."

Lan Ying'er frowned: "Not in the front yard, nor in the back yard." She raised her head and muttered, "It's even more impossible in the sky." Then she looked at the ground, "That can only be the ground."

After all, he focused on exploring the ground.

The floor in the house is bluestone floor. Lan Yinger found a hammer and knocked it piece by piece. They were all firm and solid.

Then I walked to the backyard where the fire/powder was tested. Since this field has to withstand the power of fire/powder, there is no need for decoration, and it is all mud.

There are large and small pits in the mud, and it feels solid to step on.

Lan Yinger saw a bluestone countertop near the center of the house in the backyard, so she asked Jian Guang, "Master Jian, what is this for?"

Jian Guangdao: "This is where the cannons are placed. Zhanqiu prepares the gunpowder on weekdays, and then uses the cannon to test it to see how powerful the gunpowder can be and how far the cannonballs can shoot."

Lan Yinger asked again: "Have you tried putting the missing cannon here?"

Jian Guang: "Yes, the day before Zhan Qiu disappeared, the gun/powder he prepared had reached the longest range, nearly five hundred feet."

Su Qi clicked his tongue: "That's really incredible."

Upon hearing this, Lan Ying'er walked forward, counting Zhang by Zhang, and walked for a long time until she counted to more than 460 Zhang, when she saw a very large pit.

When she saw the pit, she asked Su Qi beside her: "What kind of person usually wants to get such a powerful firearm?"

Su Qi thought for a while: "Generally there are two types of people, one is those who intend to rebel, and the other is those who are enemies of our court."

Lan Yinger then searched the surroundings carefully, but found nothing, so she said to Su Qi: "Let's go into the warehouse to have a look!"

The light in the warehouse was very dim, Jian Guang ordered the soldiers to light up the wall lamps one by one, and after a while, the warehouse was lit up.

The warehouse is also paved with bluestone slabs, and Lan Ying'er took a hammer to beat one by one, and there was no abnormality.

Su Qi groaned impatiently: "This is really strange, could it be that the cannon can do magic tricks and just disappear like this."

When Lan Yinger heard the word "cannon", she hurriedly asked Jian Guang: "Master Jian, when the cannon was stolen, where was it placed?"

Jian Guang led Lan Yinger and Su Qi to go deeper: "In the innermost position, there are heavy artillery."

Lan Ying'er walked to the location where the cannon was stored, looked at the dozen or so cannons around, and there was only one space vacant here.

She squatted down and touched the floor, and found that although the warehouse was lit, it was still not bright enough, so she stood up and said to Jian Guang: "Master Jian, if such a heavy cannon is really pushed away, it will leave traces, Minnv Now we need some bright lights."

Jian Guang immediately told the soldiers waiting beside him.

After a while a large lamp was brought over, Lan Yinger took it, and squatted down on the ground with Su Qi to look carefully.

Obviously, after the cannon was taken away, the traces here have been treated, but if you look closely, there are still indentations left by the iron wheels on the bluestone.

It's just that there are many indentations, and the most indentations lead to the backyard. It should be that the cannons are often used to test fire/powder, so there are many in the backyard.

"Every indentation has to be found."

Lan Ying'er took the trouble and patiently searched for the indentation.

Finally, she found a very inconspicuous indentation, but it led to a place full of large wooden boxes.

Lan Yinger looked at Jian Guang: "Master Jian, what are these boxes?" She found that these wooden boxes looked very old.

Jian Guangdao: "They are all old firecrackers, which were used by Tai/Zu at that time. They were stored in the Military Weapons Bureau. At that time, the Military Weapons Bureau did not have enough space, and here is a newly built warehouse, which is very spacious. , moved here."

Lan Yinger put the lamp close to the box, because a box is more than half the height of a person, and the two boxes together exceed the height of a person, so she can only see the edge of the box, and the dust on the inner edge of the box can be seen It's very thick, but if you look closely, there are fingerprints in many places.She poked the lamp down again, and found that the box had been moved recently.

"Master Jane, please ask for more people to move this pile of boxes."

Lord Jane frowned: "There are hundreds of boxes here! They have never been moved. Could it be that there is a secret passage under the boxes?"

Lan Yinger's pink lips curved slightly: "Maybe there will be."

Jian Guang smiled with disbelief on his face, but he still ordered his subordinates to call more than 20 people into the warehouse.

Because the box is big and contains ironware, it takes six people to move it with great effort.

Jian Guang watched the movement, smiled and said to Lan Yinger: "Miss Lan, these boxes have been moved here since the construction of the artifact camp. It is impossible to say that someone is digging a hole in the ground."

Lan Yinger asked: "When was the Artifact Camp built?"

Jian Guang: "It's been almost three years since it was completed! It was the summer three years ago."

Lan Yinger didn't ask any more questions, and didn't care about Jian Guang's questions, she just waited for the soldiers to finish moving the boxes.About half an hour later, after Jian Guang called ten more people to help, he finally moved more than 40 boxes.

But at this moment, Lan Ying'er didn't let them move anymore, because she had already noticed something was wrong.

Obviously, the bluestone slabs on the floor are all loose.

Su Qi hurriedly took the embroidered spring knife to uncover the bluestone slabs, one by one, but after a few strokes they were all opened, there was really a hole in the ground.

Lan Yinger looked at the cave and asked Jian Guang, "Master Jian, can that cannon be dismantled?"

Jian Guang was shocked, he nodded: "Yes, the cannon must have been dismantled and taken out of this hole." After a pause, "It's really strange, there are people in the warehouse all the year round , how could someone dig a hole in it."

Su Qi said: "Naturally, the inside and the outside are cooperating. Didn't Wen Qianhu already find out that there is something wrong with the dead military official?"

Lan Ying'er said: "Go down and find out the situation first." After saying that, she wanted to go down.

Su Qi hurriedly pulled her back: "I'll get off first." After saying that, he put the lamp in first to see that there was still a place to step on along the wall.

When Su Qi entered the cave, Lan Yinger followed her down.

Jian Guang called out a line of soldiers to follow.

It turned out that there was an underground ditch under the burrow.

But this ditch has four exits, which ditch will it go out from?

Lan Yinger carefully checked the traces at the entrance of the cave: "The cannon is a heavy weapon, and if it goes down to this ditch, there must be traces." As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a few thick scratches, "It's right here. "

"This ditch is the direction leading to the Qinhuai River." After Jian Guang said, he waved his hand and ordered the soldiers to lead to this ditch.

This ditch is very, very long and very dirty, Su Qi told Lan Yinger not to follow, she just had to go back to the Artifact Camp and wait for news, but Lan Yinger had to follow, she wanted to go, the bandits go Maybe you can find some feeling through the route you have traveled.

Just as Lan Yinger wished, they found a sweat towel halfway in the ditch. The sweat towel was hung on a ledge at a corner. It was not soaked by water. It seemed that the sweat towel was not new, so it should have been left by the bandits. .

Lan Ying'er held the yellowed sweat towel to her nose and asked carefully. She frowned. Obviously, this sweat towel was very smelly.

Su Qi laughed and said, "It doesn't smell good! The sweat towels used by men all smell sour, so you better stop smelling them."

Lan Ying'er sniffed it very carefully, and after a while, she said, "This sweat towel has a strong smell."

Su raised her eyebrows, hurriedly took the sweat towel in her hand, sniffed it, and quickly took it away in disgust: "It smells like lamb. Could it be that the person wearing this sweat towel has eaten mutton before coming here, so we have to go The restaurant asked the previous question, who had eaten mutton in the restaurant on the day when the crime happened?"

Lan Yinger shook her head: "This kind of smell is not the smell of mutton in a restaurant, but the smell that can only be produced by eating mutton as the staple food for many years."

Su Qi was stunned for a while, and he figured it out: "People who eat mutton as their staple food for many years are usually Tatars. The land of Tatars is full of grasslands, where there is no wheat flour, let alone rice, only cattle and sheep, and sheep , is the most readily available food."

Lan Yinger said: "Actually, in the grasslands, only nobles can eat mutton every day, and most people can only catch small animals and birds on the grasslands to eat, otherwise they wouldn't come to the border to harass and rob. "

Su Qi nodded in agreement: "I've heard that, it's true." After a pause, "That means the owner wearing this scarf is a Tatar nobleman."

Lan Yinger nodded: "It's very possible. You said earlier that the people who want the most advanced firearms the most will be the enemies of our dynasty. It is very likely that the bandits are Tatars."

Su Qi and Jian Guang nodded in surprise at the same time.

The case finally had another major breakthrough.

Lan Ying'er looked forward: "Let's move forward!" She felt that there was still a lot to investigate, and at this moment, because of the important discovery, her mood became much better.

After walking for a long time, I finally walked out of the ditch, and it really was the Qinhuai River.

They ventured out from the mouth of the river, and Lan Yinger almost fell into the river.

At this time, Lan Yinger's body was completely soaked, because the ditches were not clean and the smell was not good, Su Qi was worried that she would get sick, so he wanted to take her to find a family to change clothes, but she refused.

"Master Wen's whereabouts are unknown now, let's find a way to find him!" Lan Ying'er was afraid that if she delayed for a while, Wen Chen's life would be lost.

Seeing her insistence, Su Qi couldn't persuade her anymore, so he asked her: "What should we do next?" Obviously he is an official family member, and he is the leader if Wen Chen is not around. When investigating the case, he has no claim at all, he can only ask Lan Yinger.

Lan Ying'er looked at Jian Guang: "Master Jian, you can only investigate the matter of cannons and firecrackers. Minnv and Su Baihu are going to investigate that military official." On the way, she had already asked Jian Guang who was In the case of Wuchen, just go directly.

Jian Guang was convinced of Lan Yinger this time, and said in a respectful tone, "Miss Lan, don't worry, Jian will try his best to find out where the cannon is."

Lan Yinger nodded slightly, then walked towards the street with Su Qi.
