The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 181 The Scene of the Theft
Xuan Shijing took the booklet and handed it directly to Gao Jun without flipping through it.

"Gao Jun, arrange for people to investigate the academy recorded in this booklet. Those who came to Lushan Academy in a carriage that day should inquire clearly, and ask if there is anyone who behaves abnormally among these people." Xuan Shijing Said.

Gao Jun accepted the brochure and nodded yes.

"Master Jijiu, take me to the warehouse of the academy." Xuan Shijing looked at Wu Junyan.

The warehouse of Lushan Academy was the scene of the crime. Xuan Shijing wanted to go there to see if he could find any clues.

"Okay." Wu Junyan got up, ready to take Xuan Shijing to the warehouse of the academy.

When Xuan Shijing arrived at Lushan Academy, apart from mentioning at the beginning that His Majesty Li Er ordered him to come to school, the rest of his thoughts have been devoted to this case. It's interesting to sit in a daze in class. Besides, half a month has passed since the case of Lushan Academy, and now it's time to race against time. Everyone should relax their vigilance and start dealing with the stolen money.

Following Wu Junyan to the warehouse of the academy, he pushed open the bulky door. It seemed that the door had not been opened for a long time. There was a harsh friction sound from the door shaft. Xuan Shijing frowned. The warehouse door was so heavy, and there were so many students in the academy at that time. , why didn't you notice it?

"The warehouse has not been touched since Jingzhao Yin's Mansion left last time, and I always thought that preserving the situation at that time would also help solve the case," Wu Junyan said.

Protect the scene, fine.Although Xuan Shijing was not a criminal police detective, his good professionalism in his previous life also made his observation skills more detailed than others.

The warehouse had been touched, and it had been tampered with within the past two days. Xuan Shijing raised his eyebrows and walked into the warehouse.

"Master Jijiu, you can take a look around and see this warehouse, but what is missing?" Xuan Shijing said. It stands to reason that no one has entered this warehouse for thirteen or four days, and there should be a pile of dust on the floor. There was a thin layer of dust, but now the floor in the house is as bright as new, let alone dust.

Hearing Xuan Shijing's words, Wu Junyan was taken aback for a moment, and understood Xuan Shijing's meaning in an instant, the warehouse was robbed again!

Wu Junyan looked through the huge study carefully, but for a moment he couldn't see what was missing in the warehouse. He slapped his head and realized that there was a small official in charge of counting and guarding the warehouse, so he turned around and left the study. , Called someone from the academy and asked him to call the little official who was on duty in the warehouse.

"Master Jijiu, the tuition fees paid by the students earlier were Kaiyuan Tongbao?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Exactly, according to the academy's regulations, students will only accept cash when they hand over their tuition fees, and will not accept any other treasures." Wu Junyan replied.

The so-called cash is Kaiyuan Tongbao.

"After the students' tuition fees are collected, are they stored in boxes and stored in the warehouse?"

"Exactly, the warehouse was stolen, and the two boxes were also missing." Wu Junyan said.

The thieves stole even the two boxes. This is a one-pot rhythm. Xuan Shijing touched his chin. A large box of copper coins is not light. If a person wants to take it away, there will be drags on the floor. The trace of pulling, thinking of Xuan Shijing squatting on the ground, carefully observing the floor.

Sure enough, there were a few shallow scratches on the floor. If you don't look carefully, they are almost invisible. It seems that if the thief didn't want to steal again, it would be impossible to spend time cleaning the floor. However, this is also cheap Xuan Shijing, if the floor was full of dust, he wouldn't be able to find these small shallow marks.

Following the direction of the shallow marks, Xuan Shijing probed forward.

window?Xuan Shijing got up and came to the window. There was a table of Eight Immortals by the window. There were two vases and a few scrolls on the table. Xuan Shijing looked at the table and then at the window. The table is the same as the floor, obviously it has been cleaned in the past two days, and the window hinges are obviously pushed outwards. Xuan Shijing tried to push it, but it was able to be pushed open. It is obvious that the windows in the warehouse are not closed. In this way, even from the outside, the windows can be easily opened.

As soon as the window was opened, Wu Junyan was taken aback. No matter how stupid he was, he could figure out how the thieves got into the warehouse, but he didn't expect that the window of the warehouse was not locked.

If you still have doubts about outsiders, then now, Xuan Shijing is 80.00% sure that this thief is someone from inside the academy, and the money was transported out through the window, but such a heavy box cannot be carried out by one person alone , so Xuan Shijing now guesses that there may be more than one thief who committed the crime.The fact that the floor and the Eight Immortals table were wiped so clean was also to cover up the footprints left when committing crimes.

Because Xuan Shijing opened the window and saw a deserted flower bed behind the warehouse, which was full of weeds.

That's right, if one came in through this window, one's feet would definitely be stained with mud, rubbing against the table, leaving holes in the floor, and the thief was so cautious that he might have used this warehouse as his cash machine.

Thinking of this, Xuan Shijing smiled, it would be easy if he had clues, if the thief did not commit crimes twice, he might be like the people in Jingzhao Yin's Mansion and return without success.

Soon, the little official in charge of the warehouse came, and Wu Junyan hurriedly asked him to check if there was anything missing in the warehouse besides the students' tuition fees.

The little official first took a booklet from the desk in the warehouse, and then flipped through the booklet, looked around the warehouse, and walked down. The tuition fee and the jade unicorn paperweight bestowed by His Majesty are gone too."

Wu Junyan heard that cold sweat broke out on his forehead in a flash, and the imperial gift was lost. This is a big mistake. If you ask how big it can be, whether you can keep this sacrificial wine seat is still a matter of opinion.

"Jade Qilin Paperweight?" Xuan Shijing: "Very valuable?"

"Of course it's valuable. Let's not say that it's a gift from my subordinates. The paperweight is carved from a whole piece of good suet jade, which is priceless." Wu Junyan couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he said this. Not rich, first he lost his tuition fees, and now, this thief who killed thousands of swords even took away the paperweights given by the emperor, Wu Junyan feels his heart is bleeding now
First cash, and then priceless treasures, how big is this thief's heart, how courageous he is, if it is just the tuition fees of the students, the case will not be solved, and the money will not be recovered. But for the paperweight bestowed by the imperial court, one could tell from Wu Junyan's dead father's expression that he probably regarded the paperweight as the treasure of Lushan Academy.

Your Majesty Li Er, your Majesty Li Er, you said that the treasure you gave to others back then, why didn't you give a copper tripod weighing a thousand or eight hundred catties?
