Chapter 34: 1m daylight warehouse

  What is the case of theft in a secret room?

   is naturally the Shirahagoyaki tea bowl, originally stored in a completely enclosed warehouse in Naraya. The warehouse is built with Taigu stone as a whole, and there is no gap at all, and the smallest parts are filled with mortar. The gates are two extremely heavy solid wood-clad copper gates. The locks hung on them can only be opened by the key in the hands of Shigeemon Naraya.

   The underground is also covered with bluestone slabs. Under the heavy slabs is two-meter-thick rammed earth. If you want to enter the warehouse by tunneling, with today’s engineering methods, I’m afraid it’s not necessary to use explosives. It's a pity that the entire floor inside the warehouse is intact, not only without any holes, but even a shallow ditch is not seen.

   The last, and possibly the only flaw, is the roof. But the top of the roof is covered with high-quality celadon tiles purchased from the Echizen area, many pieces, all on the roof. From the inside of the house, there is no trace of the roof being demolished, and the beams and rafters are intact.

   See a ghost!

   It's impossible for that Naraya Shigeemon guard to steal it, right? Maybe Sadaken Yabe didn't think about it, but what did he guard and steal the picture? The tea bowl was asked by the general to lend him money as a mortgage, and he borrowed a full forty thousand taels. It made it clear that only fools would take money to redeem this thing. Forty thousand taels of gold is more fragrant than a tea bowl.

   Moreover, the Tokugawa family members are all dead. Although this year is not like the future generations, when there is no inheritance to inherit, the debts of the people are eliminated, and the debts of the father and the son are not paid. Even if the father's debts are paid now, with him, a businessman at Shigeemon Naraya, dare to ask Tokugawa Ikei for debts with a tea bowl?

   want peaches!

   So not to mention the fact that the team of people who dealt with the case and Li Tongxin couldn't understand it, even Yabe Sadaqian couldn't imagine what the **** this case was. The tea bowl disappeared out of thin air, and people suddenly committed suicide after the conflict. If there is no conspiracy in it, ghosts really don't believe it.

   Day after day, Ieki Tokugawa, who lived in Ookushin Palace for a long time, also heard the news. For his teacher Mizuno Tadakuni, Tokugawa Ieki still had to maintain it. Isn't this still counting on Mizuno Tadakuni to help him restore the glory of the shogunate and stop the shogunate's decline? Therefore, Tokugawa Ieki ordered Edo Town to solve the case within 30 days. If the case cannot be solved, he will be sent to prison for questioning.

   Shogun-sama has spoken, and this matter has become the most important matter of the entire Edo Town government. All other matters will be postponed, and we will try our best to investigate the case.

   Not only did Kitamachi obey the one hundred and seventy-one people to handle the case, but now even the one hundred seventy-one people who Nancho obeyed could not run away. Yuan Shan Yuan was also appreciated by Mizuno Tadakuni, and naturally he wanted to clear his boss of suspicion.

  With the passage of time, the momentum of the people's discussion has not only not declined, but has become more enthusiastic. It is said that the hundreds of lords in the Edo Town Office were all promoted by Mizuno Tadakuni, and they did not care about the case at all. If this really solves the case, wouldn't Mizuno Tadakuni, the man behind the scenes, be found out.

   makes Mizuno Tadakuni really seem to be a murderer!

   "So let's go to the case too?" Chungemon looked at the troubled Heizo, but he didn't panic.

   The law does not blame the public. There are more than 300 officials in the two classes of the Edo Town Enforcement Office. It is impossible for the Shogunate to punish more than 300 Kachimoto Yukun members at once. Secondly, Chungemon thought that he had watched hundreds of episodes of detectives for first-year students in Mihua City before crossing. He had listened to the beginning of a high roller coaster murder case countless times, and there was no clue if he didn't believe it.

   "That's not it, the Yuanshan Temple has already stated that in the entire office, one is counted as one, and it must be done." Ping San was very distressed.

   How could he handle the case? A young man who was just seventeen years old was still a second-year high school student in his later life. Although he is now serving in the public office, what is the difference? There is no way to deal with criminal cases without any family history or personal connections.

   All of them are in one mind, some of them have been working for more than ten or twenty years. Looking at the warehouse in front of them, they are helpless. It has been repeatedly confirmed that there is really only one key in the warehouse, and the key has not been stolen, and it is always kept in Naraya Shigeemon. When he hanged himself, they were all hung around his waist and never left.

   Kinmaru Yoshikind at home is an official who manages the temple. He speaks of the monks and priests very well, but he has not handled criminal cases at all, and he can't provide any help to Heizo.

   "Let's take a look first, anyway, the board is knocked down, and there is a distant temple against it." Chuemon whispered.

   "That's what I mean." Ping San nodded, Tokugawa Ieki or Mizuno to find the person in charge, the first to find must be Sadaken Yabe and Yuan Shanyuan.

   Reprimand is also reprimanding these two towns for pursuing them. It is impossible to call all the more than 300 Yuli Tongxin to scold them. The dignified shoguns and prime ministers were not so free. They were very busy with managing Wanji every day and managing everything every day.

The two followed the brigade and entered the house of Nara House. Some old criminal investigators who were born in the same heart and force focused on checking whether the tiles on the courtyard wall were broken~www.wuxiaspot.com~ in order to find clues that outsiders invaded the house. . Yuli also gathered all the servants of Naraya and asked about the alibi one by one. If it is found that there is something that cannot be proved, he will be arrested and tortured to serve him.

  Tadaemon Hei and the trio were light-hearted, and they had no experience in handling cases. The surrounding area of ​​the warehouse had been trampled on for a long time and it was not like what they were doing. Any clues about it have long since been annihilated. The nicely trimmed flowers and trees in the courtyard were trampled and destroyed by the crowd this time. It seems impossible to find clues from the outside.

   "This warehouse is so sturdy!" Tadaemon walked around the warehouse, and indeed it was all built with Taigu stone, with no loopholes.

   "Yes, there is nothing wrong with that big brass lock." Ping San carefully observed the brass lock and key, and found nothing.

   "Did you look inside the warehouse?" Chuyouemon spread his hands and glanced into the warehouse.

   "It's not there yet. It says that there are sixty thousand taels of cash from Nara House, so people will not enter it when it is free."

   "Sixty thousand taels? Really rich."

   "Let me ask." Heizo probably also wanted to see what the 60,000 tael scene was, so he ran to apply with Yuri who was guarding the scene and Bantou from Naraya.

   "It's alright, I can't touch it."

   A fellow from Nara House followed them and entered the warehouse together. The warehouse is more than 20 meters long, with rattan boxes and wooden boxes on both sides. It is obviously full of gold, but the two are not qualified to open it. There are also a large number of wooden boxes on the wooden shelves, which contain many precious treasures.

   "Where was the tea bowl originally placed?" Chuemon asked in a low voice.

   "There!" A white light shone on an empty seat along the line of defense of the Naraya guy's finger.
