Soon, Fang Xuanling came to Li Chengfeng with two sallow-looking prisoners.

Apparently, after they lost one hundred thousand gold due to their negligence, Fang Xuanling punished them a lot.

But at least it didn't kill them, so that's a small thing!

Fang Xuanling said: "Eighth Prince, these two people were guards guarding the gold before! The old minister also suspected that they were communicating with the thieves, but they were tortured and starved for three days, but they still kept silent.

, saying that he has nothing to do with the thief!"

"I have no choice but to kill them yet!"

"Um!"

Li Chengfeng came to the two prisoners and asked, "Why was the gold stolen?"

One of the prisoners replied, "Back to the Eighth Prince, I'm a kid, I don't know!"

"How presumptuous, don't you know when the gold was lost?"

Li Chengfeng shouted.

The prisoner said with a grimace: "Eighth Prince, you really don't know! If we knew, we would definitely tell you!"

"Because three days ago, when we opened the box and looked at it, the gold had already turned into stone!"

"I was so frightened that I told Duke Liang about this when he came back! We asked the Eighth Prince to make the decision for us!"

"I'm going to make the decision for you? I laughed! If Liang Guogong didn't kill you, it would be considered a mercy for you! It's your dereliction of duty, but you still want me to make the decision for you?"

Immediately afterwards, Li Chengfeng asked the two prisoners some questions, and their answers were that they didn't know everything!

Fang Xuanling sighed helplessly and said: "Eighth Prince, look at it, what's the use of these two trashes? It's better to kill them! If you ask three questions, you don't know anything, you don't know anything? Just put ten big wooden boxes on them

One hundred thousand gold inside has been stolen in front of them? Couldn't they notice any movement?"

Fang Xuanling was so angry that she almost cursed.

Li Chengfeng waved his hand, "Don't kill me yet, I still have something to ask!"

"Are you two taking turns guarding the gold?"

"Yes, the Eighth Prince, one of us will be a guard during the day and the other will be a guard at night!"

"Then in the past few days, have you felt very tired when sleeping?"

"Huh? Yes!" one of the prisoners said: "A week ago, I suddenly fell into a very deep sleep, so heavy that I couldn't lift my eyelids!"

Another prisoner said: "Did you feel this way seven days ago? Me too! Seven days ago, when I was guarding the golden hour, I suddenly felt very tired and fell asleep. When I woke up, it was already

It's morning! I thought the box was there and the gold hadn't been lost yet. Could it be that that night, the gold we were guarding was stolen by thieves? "

The two guards suddenly realized.

Li Chengfeng's eyes lit up and he said, "You've all been tricked!"

"The thief's method of committing crimes is very clever! He took advantage of the moment when you were taking turns to change shifts, and used an anesthetic to stun you. Then he used another trick to steal away all the wooden boxes containing gold! He replaced them with rocks.

When you wake up, you find that the wooden box is still there. You lift the wooden box and find that it is very heavy, so you think that the gold is still there and has not been lost! But in fact, you don’t know that the gold in the box is

It has been stolen a long time ago!"

Li Chengfeng shook his head.

Because the boxes containing the gold were locked, and the key was on Fang Xuanling's body.

This was a measure taken by Fang Xuanling to prevent someone from stealing small pieces of gold.

But unexpectedly, the thief moved the box away and replaced it with an identical box and lock.

So much so that a week had passed when Fang Xuanling discovered that the gold was missing.

Therefore, during this period of time, the thieves may have moved the gold out of the palace.

As a result, it will be much more difficult to find the lost gold.

It would be great if there was surveillance. Every move of the thief could be discovered.

But it's a pity that this is Datang.

It can only be seen with the naked eye, and there is no such thing as monitoring.

Do we really need to use the system to find the thief?

Li Chengfeng was a genius in the scientific research and archeology team in his previous life. He knew history very well and had strong reasoning and crime-solving abilities.

But in this case, if there are no clues and clues, it will be difficult to find an entry point to solve the case!

"Well, this thief is so good at stealing!"

Li Chengfeng thought for a while.

Suddenly, the barking of a big black dog came from the backyard.

"Woof woof, woof woof!"

"Er Bai?"

I saw the big black dog suddenly running up to Li Chengfeng, then biting Li Chengfeng's clothes and pulling him towards a bush.

"Erbai, why are you holding me back? Did you find any clues?"

"Woooo..."

The big black dog whined twice, and then led Li Chengfeng to a bush.

Li Chengfeng took a closer look and saw that there was actually a white cloth with something wrapped inside.

Li Chengfeng picked up the small package and sniffed it gently.

A strange fragrance suddenly hit his face, and Li Chengfeng felt a little dizzy for a moment.

"Eighth Prince, have you found any clues?"

Fang Xuanling followed.

Li Chengfeng covered his nose and said: "Liang Guogong, it is a kind of burnt incense. The thieves used this incense to stun your two guards! Then they started stealing!"

"What? Is there really a scent? Who lost it?"

"One hundred percent he is a thief!"

"Moreover, the thief may have thrown away more than one burnt incense medicine packet. This is because it was very dark at the time and they did not see the incense medicine packet in the grass, so they accidentally left one in your pocket.

Home! Fragrance medicine is usually used to prevent mosquitoes, but once burned, it will release a harmful sleeping gas, which can make people sleep soundly without even realizing it!"

A smile appeared on Li Chengfeng's lips, and he said: "Now that we have a clue, things will be easy to do next! Erbai, you have to remember this smell, okay?"

"Woof woof..."

The big black dog barked twice excitedly.

This dog is very spiritual. He seems to know that Li Chengfeng is solving the case, and also knows that if he does not solve the case, he will be killed by Li Shimin.

So he also wanted to do his part to help Li Chengfeng and the others.

Li Chengfeng took out the white package again and asked the big black dog, "Erbai, do you remember this smell?"

"Woof woof!"

The big black dog barked twice and wagged its tail.

"Okay, from now on, Erbai, you have to remember this smell. We are going to catch the thief!"

"Woof woof!"

Fang Xuanling's breathing was a little rapid, and she looked at Li Chengfeng and said, "Eighth Prince, do you know the whereabouts of the thief?"

"I don't know at the moment, but it doesn't matter! As long as Erbai smells that medicinal materials such as incense are hidden in a minister's house, then that minister is 80% a thief!"
