Dali Temple Conspiracy Records

Now that she has successfully made a familiar face in front of the subject of investigation, Bai Sanxiu plans to bring Li Quan to the door in a few days.With the identity of her childhood playmate, even if the fake Zhu Qian saw that Li Quan knew martial arts, she wouldn't be too suspicious.Unexpectedly, the waiter of Guangyuan She who Li Guan had sent to look for before found him.

Times have changed, 20 years have passed, the second child, Zhao Qi, is now in his fifties, and he lives in a civilian area in the east of the city, enjoying himself with his grandchildren.Because of Fang Zheng's introduction, Zhao Qi cooperated very well with Li Quan, who claimed to be the arrester of Wannian County.However, he was quite surprised when he heard that what Li Guan was asking about was the wooden box stored in the collapsed house of Guangyuan House 50 years ago.

"The red-lacquered wooden box that the official wants to ask is a special four-character combination lock hanging on it?"

Li Quan nodded: "Do you still have an impression?"

"Yes, yes. That lock is generally not common, so the villain has an impression. Besides..."

"Besides, the box was lost later." Li Quan finished for him.

Zhao Qi was taken aback: "The official knows about this."

"It was the theft that I was going to investigate. Tell me what you know about the box."

"Yes. That box was deposited by a team of merchants who specialize in traveling the southwest trade route. The leader of the caravan is Liu Yong, who is an old customer of our family. As the official said, because the box was stolen in the end, so this The villain still remembers the past very clearly."

"Is the box the Liu family's own, or did they transport it?"

"Someone asked Liu's family to send it to Chang'an. They said it was from Zhuangzhou. Master Liu didn't seem to know what it contained, so he asked the villain to register it as a decoration. He said at the time that guests would come to pick it up in a few days."

"Did the person who picked up the goods come later?"

"It's here. It's a dark-skinned young man with a strong accent. He originally wanted to pick up the goods, but he wanted to pick up two boxes, and the store only received one box, so he said he would come back a few days later. But the villain is also Unexpectedly, after he left, another pair of siblings came and said they were looking for that man. The pair of siblings, the girl said they were the sister of the black-skinned man, and the villain also heard that their accents were similar. The little boy was Their distant relative, the villain thinks that he may be a native of Chang'an."

Hearing this, Li Quan's expression didn't change at all, he just asked lightly: "Has that man been here again since?"

"No. The villain hasn't seen him since."

In fact, Li Quan already knew the answer.The man was killed by a mysterious person in the dilapidated house behind the Chongji Temple, and he had already become scorched in the fire. He asked this question just to go through a process, to restore the man's previous trajectory, and to see if he still had any more. Nothing is missing.

"Then how did the box get stolen?"

Zhao Qi recalled it carefully, and then said: "I wasn't on duty that night. Xiao Xiao, who was on duty, slept soundly for some reason and didn't hear any noise. When I changed shifts the next day, I discovered that the door lock of No. [-] room collapsed. It was smashed, and someone broke in and dropped the box. We reported to the police at that time, but the box was never found, and the man didn’t come to pick it up. After a long time, this matter will be settled.”

Of course the box could not be found, and it was also reduced to ashes in the fire.

"So you are very familiar with the Liu family who delivered the goods, but you don't know the sender or the receiver?"

"Yes. But..." Zhao Qi hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Who sent it, Xiaomin heard a piece of news."

His words instantly aroused the high attention of Li Quan and Bai Sanxiu.

"After the box was lost, the villain also asked the Liu family who the owner of the box was. Mr. Liu said he didn't know, but the second son of the Liu family was drunk once and accidentally mentioned to the villain that the person who came to entrust the delivery , is the servant of Prince Yu."
