Chapter 42 Two Big Cases
Back in the study, Gong Ziling asked someone to move a desk and put it beside his desk.The faces of the two attendants who moved the table were full of excitement and curiosity, and they could finally see this mysterious study.

Because since the study was built, no one has ever entered it, only a dumb slave who can't read or write regularly cleans it every day.Therefore, there are many legends about the study in the mansion, and there are all kinds of absurd claims.But there seems to be nothing special about this study, except for being elegant and pleasing to the eye.

After the attendant left, Gong Ziling took a large pile of files and put them on the table, and said to Wu Yan: "This desk is for your use. You can come in to check the information at any time in the future, even when I am away. Two cases All the materials are here, you can see for yourself.”

Wu Yan really couldn't believe her ears, he actually let her enter the study room at will, a place that everyone in the palace regards as a restricted area.With a trace of uncertainty, Wu Yan asked Gong Ziling: "Are you not afraid that I will be a spy and steal your information?"

Gong Ziling was reading a booklet, the booklets on the case were stacked high, and they should all be Biwu's important documents.Hearing Wu Yan's question, he didn't even raise his eyelids, and said, "If I dare to let you in, I'm not afraid that you are a spy."

Tch, this guy is always so arrogant, talking to him is just asking for it.Wu Yan thought angrily, who cares, she won't do anything wrong anyway, so what are you afraid of?If he dared to let her in, she would.

So he stopped talking, sat down at the table and picked up a file to read.The densely packed traditional characters on the paper made Wu Yan's scalp tingle. After reading it for a whole afternoon, she finally understood the general meaning even after guessing.

A recent case is the theft of Kuyin, which happened three days ago.Wu Yan flexed her fingers and did the math, and it happened to be the day before she wore it.

The stolen silver vault was the largest and strongest in Biwu, and the silver in stock accounted for almost a small half of Biwu's total inventory.It is seldom opened at ordinary times, mainly for emergencies.Due to the once-in-a-century plague of locusts in Lin Province, countless refugees flooded into Biwu, so Gong Ziling decided to use the bank for disaster relief.

Four days ago, he sent an official to the bank to check, and the bank was still full of silver.Unexpectedly, the next day, the escort of the silver drove several silver carts to the gate of the bank. After the store supervisor unwrapped the cover, unlocked the door, and entered the storehouse, everyone was dumbfounded.

I saw that the silver vault was empty, the wooden boxes containing silver were all open on Ruo Da's shelf, and there was not a single ingot of silver.The other warden died in the warehouse, the door key was tied to his body in good condition, there was no wound on his body, his face was extremely horrified, and his facial muscles were horribly twisted, obviously he died of fright.

Ask the treasury officials and guards who were on duty the night before, and no one noticed anything unusual.It is said that the warehouse was quiet the night before, and there was no sound at all.

For a while, there were different opinions, and there were rumors that Ku Yin was moved away by ghost messengers.Just imagine, let alone stealing money, even if ordinary people move openly, it will take a lot of manpower and time to finish the move.

Other dossiers deal with disappearances in recent months.After reading the previous cases, Wu Yan still felt that they were just ordinary disappearance cases.Later, I gradually realized that these dozens of cases may not be so simple, and they all have some common characteristics.

Those who disappeared were all young and strong boys, all ordinary people, all disappeared on the way home or going somewhere, and there was no clue to find them.Two of the cases were even more bizarre.

One is that the old father and his son went home from the market together. Because the donkey was running fast, the son chased the donkey before the old father turned a corner.After the old man turned the corner, he could no longer find his son, and the donkey was still grazing quietly not far away.

The other is a young couple driving a carriage back to their natal home.The wife was sitting in the carriage, and the husband was sitting outside driving the carriage, and the two of them chatted one after another through a cloth curtain.The wife suddenly felt that the carriage had stopped, so she asked her husband, but she did not hear his answer.Then he opened the curtain, but there was no sign of her husband.

Wu Yan was dizzy looking at the thick pile of files.After finally reading it, I stretched out my hand, rubbed my eyes, and stretched a lot.The candles on the candlesticks had been lit at some point, and under the candlelight, Gong Ziling was leaning sideways on the back of the chair and reading a book leisurely.
