Chapter 805: What is the difference between picking up leaks?
Sha'er Zidan was stunned and asked with a confused look: "Diamond? What diamond?"
Chai Yan pointed to the white glazed stone on Zhang Sixi's hand and said seriously: "Here, this is a diamond!"
"Ah?" Sha Er Zidan and Zhang Sixi were both surprised after hearing this.
Chai Yan immediately popularized science: "This diamond is also called diamond. Its main component is carbon. It is formed after a long period of high temperature and high pressure. It is the hardest natural substance!"
None of the three people in the room understood what Chai Yan said, and no one responded to his words for a while.
Sha'er Zidan thought that diamond was a name in the capital, so he asked curiously: "Master Chai, is this very valuable in your capital?"
Zhang Sixi reacted as soon as he heard this. It turned out that this young official was from the capital. No wonder he had such a violent temper.
Chai Yanxin said, "How do I know if the Beijing diamonds are worth anything?" He turned to Zhang Sixi and asked, "How much did you spend when you bought these two diamonds?"
Zhang Sixi recalled while saying: "The merchant from the Western Regions asked for five taels of silver each. I said I would buy two of them together, so he only charged me eight taels. Later, when I found a craftsman to make them into earrings, it cost me more...
....Uh, yes, it cost about two taels of silver..."
"No way! It only cost eight taels!?" Chai Yan was shocked.
Zhang Sixi nodded blankly, then looked at the glazed stone earrings in his hands, secretly thinking that these things are only worth this price, and he wouldn't buy them if they were too expensive!
And Chai Yan kept shouting in his heart: Damn it, this is too cheap! Eight taels of silver buys two such big diamonds, and one only costs four taels. Is this any different from picking up missing diamonds?
What left Chai Yan speechless the most was that the handmade money needed to make the earrings was only twenty taels, which was enough to buy half a diamond!
But after being surprised, Chai Yan immediately thought of another problem, that is, the value of diamonds has not been recognized by the world at this time, so it is not surprising that the price is cheap!
Suddenly, Chai Yan felt someone poking his lower back with a finger. He turned around and saw that it was Yuan.
In an instant, Chai Yan understood what was going on. It was because his reaction just now was too exaggerated, which stunned both Sha Er Zi Dan and Zhang Sixi, so Yu Yuan quietly reminded him.
"Ahem..." Chai Yan deliberately coughed twice and said with a tight expression: "Let's not digress now, let's get back to the topic!"
Then, Chai Yan asked Zhang Sixi: "When was the last time you saw the entire pair of white glazed stone earrings?"
Zhang Sixi was not sure and said: "Master Chai, you have to ask my wife about this..."
"Then call her over!" Chai Yan said immediately.
Zhang Sixi agreed, quickly walked to the door, and shouted outside.
Taking advantage of this time, Chai Yan went to open the window next to the dressing table.
Because the window was very close to the dressing table, Chai Yan wondered if someone might have slipped in through the window and stolen the earrings.
But when he opened the window and looked outside, Chai Yan overturned this idea, because there was a large pond outside, and the straight-line distance from the ground was at least more than five feet. It was not easy to get in!
Chai Yan and the other three looked at the situation outside the window for a while, and Mrs. Zhang also came over.
"Madam, Mr. Chai has something to ask you." Zhang Sixi came to Chai Yan with his wife.
Chai Yan asked Mrs. Zhang: "When was the last time you saw the whole pair of white glazed stone earrings?"
Mrs. Zhang said without thinking: "Yesterday morning!"
"Are you sure?" Chai Yan asked seriously.
Mrs. Zhang immediately nodded and said affirmatively: "Sure! Yesterday morning I put the earrings on the dressing table, and then I went to the yard until after noon when Su Ni came. When she was doing laundry, I
I went back to the house to rest, but when I woke up early this morning, I discovered that one of the earrings was missing!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sha Er Zidan asked: "What about last night? When Su Ni finished washing and left, it was still very early before dark. From then to dark to this morning, it was such a long time.
, are you sure no one has sneaked in?"
Chai Yan nodded at the same time and said: "Yes, there was a long time between when Su Ni left and when you discovered that the earrings were missing. Can you be sure that no thief has entered the house?"
Mrs. Zhang said with great certainty: "I am sure that the doors and windows of my house are all closed properly, and there is absolutely no thief..."
With that said, Mrs. Zhang pointed to the gold jewelry in the jewelry box and said anxiously: "If there was a thief, then shouldn't my box of jewelry be thrown away long ago?"
Sha'er Zidan immediately shouted: "That's right! Then why are you still falsely accusing Su Ni? If she is a thief, why didn't she steal the whole box of jewelry instead of picking out some worthless ones? And?
If there is a pair of people who don’t steal, it’s not just one that steals!”
Mrs. Zhang shrugged her shoulders, curled her lips and said angrily: "How could I know that? I'm not a thief. I can't figure out what's going on in a thief's mind!"
Sha'er Zidan got angry immediately, his eyes widened and he shouted: "Who are you calling a thief!"
Mrs. Zhang was not frightened at all and said tit for tat: "You know what you are doing!"
"Quiet!" Sha'er Zidan and Mrs. Zhang were about to start an argument when Chai Yan stopped them.
Chai Yan looked at Sha'er Zidan, pointed at the door and said: "You, get out!"
Sha'er Zidan quickly said: "Master Chai, I..."
"I said, get out!" Chai Yan said again, not listening to his nagging.
Sha'er Zidan had no choice but to walk out of the room dejectedly.
When the room became quiet, Chai Yan asked Mrs. Zhang again: "During this period, one of the earrings on the dressing table was missing, and you didn't notice?"
Mrs. Zhang shook her head and said: "I didn't pay attention, because I usually leave it like this, and I have never lost it..."
Chai Yan said seriously: "In other words, you are not sure when exactly you lost the earrings!"
"Uh..." Mrs. Zhang couldn't answer for a moment, and then said after a pause: "Master Chai, Su Ni is the only one who has entered my house from the beginning to the end. Who else could have stolen it if she hadn't? It can't be possible
You must have wings and fly!"
Chai Yan didn't answer Mrs. Zhang's words, and turned around and asked Zhang Sixi: "What about you, where were you last night?"
Zhang Sixi said: "To tell you what, sir, I went out to my friend's house early yesterday morning, and came back just after dark. Because I drank some wine, I fell asleep after returning to the house, and I slept until dawn.
It was my wife who woke me up when she discovered that one of my earrings was missing!"
"Who can prove it?" Chai Yan said in a meticulous tone.
Zhang Sixi felt nervous and said hurriedly: "Sir, my friend and his family can all prove that I drank too much yesterday, and it was his family who sent me home. If you don't believe it, you can ask!"
When Mrs. Zhang saw Chai Yan doubting her husband, she shouted a little excitedly: "Yes, Mr. Chai, what he said is true, absolutely true! And why would he steal his own things? It makes no sense."
Right..."
Chai Yanping said calmly: "Don't get excited, I just asked casually to find out more about what happened yesterday..."
Then, Chai Yan extended his palm to Zhang Sixi and said, "Give me the earrings!"
"Ah...yes!" Zhang Sixi was stunned and quickly handed the earrings carefully to Chai Yan's hand.
Chai Yan raised his hand to hold the diamond earrings high, and while looking at the bright light outside the window, he asked: "Ms. Zhang, please tell me carefully everything that happened after Su Ni left yesterday..."
.....Remember, be careful, no details can be omitted!”
"Ah?" Mrs. Zhang was stunned, thinking, aren't they just trivial matters like eating, drinking, sleeping, etc. What's there to say?
Zhang Sixi quickly took his wife's hand and said, "Don't be stunned. If you are asked to speak, just tell the truth..."
