If you want to steal the bronze man, you only have the opportunity just now.
To seize the best opportunity, you can only watch it on site, otherwise, all designs are empty talk.
But the people present actually had no reason to steal the bronze man.
After all, Jiang Yu'er has sorted out the ancient borrowings in Bronze Man, and also decided to make a copy of each ancient borrowing in Bronze Man. Who would have to take such a risk?
"noob!"
Jiang Yuer immediately thought of Xiaobai again.
But soon, he denied it. He couldn't do it with Xiaobai's strength. Moreover, he had been staring at Xiaobai just now, and Xiaobai had never been close to the bronze man at all.
So, who is it?
Jiang Yuer felt confused for the first time.
At this moment, Cai Wenji moved in her arms and said, "Sir, many of the ancient borrowings that I have arranged have been swept away by the wind."
"Yeah." Jiang Yu'er nodded.
The storm is blowing.
These copied papers have only been temporarily put together and have not been bound into a book. Given the chaos just now, it is normal for some pages to be lost.
"hateful!"
Mo Jian cursed: "Who is stealing the bronze man?! Is it your Taoist sect? The Yin God of your Taoist sect has always been weird and unpredictable, and there are so many people coming..."
"I also said it was your Mo family!" Feng Lingzi immediately stood up: "Your Mo family has the shadow escape technique and is good at controlling puppets. It would be too easy for you to steal the bronze man!"
"..."
"If you want to steal the Bronze Figure, only those on the scene can do it. Otherwise, given the cultivation level of the people present, it is impossible that someone hiding in the courtyard will not be discovered in three hours, right?"
"yes!"
What Jiang Yuer can think of, people can actually think of.
As a result, everyone looked around with "questioning" eyes.
All of them have evil eyes.
After all, it was not easy to get eight ancient books, but after an accident, everything came to nothing, and everyone was not in a good mood.
Jiang Yuer knew that he couldn't let the "quarrel" happen anymore, so he said, "I don't think it has anything to do with the people present."
"Oh? What did Mr. Jiang discover?" Mo Jian asked immediately.
"I thought maybe I could ask the teacher."
"You mean Master?!"
"Yes, the teacher is not coming to join the Master Bronze Man today, so he will most likely be at the top of the Book Mountain."
Jiang Yu'er didn't say what he said next, but the people present were all representatives of various schools of thought, so they didn't understand the meaning of Jiang Yu'er's words.
"Yes, ask Master!" Mo Jian agreed.
When everyone else heard this, they all nodded. Rather than guessing at each other, it was indeed the best way to ask the Master first.
Seeing that no one had any objections, Jiang Yuer added, "However, as a precaution, those present today cannot leave Jiang Mansion for the time being. Do you have any objections?"
"I have no objection." Mo Jian was still very cheerful.
Jin Lingzi looked at the others and nodded: "My Taoist sect has no objection either."
Meng Xingchen also nodded: "I have no objection either."
Hearing that three parties had come forward, everyone else expressed their acquiescence. After all, if they stood up to oppose now, they would most likely become the object of questioning.
Jiang Yu'er's eyes turned to Emperor Pingle: "Your Majesty, you..."
"I don't mind." Emperor Pingle smiled and said, "Just stay in Jiang Mansion tonight."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Jiang Yuer nodded.
If Emperor Pingle wanted to leave, he would have no way to stop him, and other scholars from hundreds of schools of thought would probably not have any objections.
But Emperor Ping Le still decided to stay.
This not only gives Jiang Yu'er face, but more importantly, it tells everyone one thing. I, the Emperor of Qin, have decided to stay. Who else dares to leave?
…
The matter of everyone staying in Jiang Mansion has been concluded.
Jiang Yuer began to think about how to find out the real culprit who stole the bronze man.
If he leaves Jiang Mansion now and goes to see the Master, then the people present...maybe, there will be some "quarrels" again, and some people will even take the initiative to investigate and accuse him.
In this case, it is better to appoint an "investigator".
So, after thinking for a while, Jiang Yuer looked at Jiang Erlang: "Erlang is the deputy head of the Night Detective Department. He has always solved cases like an expert. Can I ask Erlang to help me today?"
"This is natural." Jiang Erlang nodded: "The cases in the capital fall within the scope of my Night Detective Department. I will investigate in Jiang's mansion to see if there are any clues."
"Okay, then it's Erlang's job." Jiang Yu'er smiled and looked at the others: "I want Erlang to be responsible for the investigation of this case. Do you have any opinions?"
Jiang Yuer's suggestion was actually well-founded. Jiang Erlang was just a martial artist. What happened just now...he couldn't do it.
It is obviously the most suitable person to handle the case who is unlikely to be suspected of committing the crime, and he is also the deputy head of the Night Investigation Department.
Everyone looked at each other.
They all shook their heads and said they had no objections.
So Jiang Yu'er asked Cai Wenji to arrange the accommodation for everyone, and then got up and went to Jixia.
…
After leaving Jiang Mansion.
Jiang Yuer suddenly thought of a question.
If the Master is really on the top of the mountain of books now, does it mean that the Master can also "see" everything that happens in the courtyard?
"Did Master steal the bronze figure?!"
Although this possibility is very small, it is not completely impossible.
After all, the fact that Master did not attend the meeting today is a doubtful point in itself...
Moreover, with Master's methods, it is not too difficult to steal the bronze figure.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yu'er had an inexplicable feeling of horror. If it was really the master who stole the bronze figure, what was the master's purpose?
Of course, until there is no conclusion, this is just a guess.
"Master is suspicious, so is the Witch God!"
Because Xiaobai once said when he rushed over that he saw a cloud of black mist, and the shape of the black mist coincided with the Witch God.
Although Lina did not act to invite the gods, it does not mean that the wizard god must not "come over". Using certain items as a "connection" should also be able to achieve the effect of inviting the gods.
And there is the underworld!
Although Xiao Bai is not capable of doing it, Po Meng should be able to do it.
Jiang Yu'er was thinking as he rushed towards Jixia: "There are many suspicion points now, Master, Witch God, Po Meng... and everyone present!"
Although there are so many suspects and there is no complete motive for committing the crime, the possibility of committing the crime cannot be completely ruled out. It is really difficult!
…
Inside Jiang Mansion.
Jiang Erlang is sorting out the ancient borrowings on site.
Many of the eight ancient books were swept away and some were damaged. Now less than two-thirds are left, which makes them incomplete.
"Incomplete ancient borrowings have little meaning!"
Jiang Erlang looked at the remaining ancient books in front of him, and suddenly thought of another question: "The other party not only stole twelve bronze figures, but also destroyed eight ancient books!"
So, infer from this point...
Is the other party's purpose to deliberately prevent the Xianmen from restarting?
That’s right!
The other party doesn’t want the Immortal Gate to open again!
Of course, there is another possibility that the other party just wants to open the Immortal Gate alone, but this possibility is relatively small because it is meaningless.
After all, once the gate of immortality is opened, everyone can become an immortal!
Just because you ascend alone doesn't mean that you are the only one in the fairy world...so it doesn't mean much.
Unless the other party wants to stay in the world as an immortal!
Then it goes back to the inference just now, preventing the fairy gate from restarting!
"If we infer that the purpose is to prevent the reopening of the Immortal Sect, who has the greater motive for committing the crime?"
Jiang Erlang's brows were furrowed.
But at this moment, his eyes caught sight of a figure.
Slender as a willow and temperamental as a lotus.
"Cai Wenji!"
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.
Then, he immediately walked up to Cai Wenji and said, "Hello, Miss Wenji."
"Hello, Vice-President Jiang." Cai Wenji immediately saluted Jiang Erlang: "I have arranged Vice-President Jiang's room, it is..."
"I want Miss Wenji to do me a favor." Jiang Erlang interrupted.
"Okay, Deputy Chief Jiang, just ask." Cai Wenji was stunned for a moment, but she immediately nodded and replied.
"When Ms. Wenji was sorting out the eight ancient books just now, she must have read the contents above, right?" Jiang Erlang said again.
"Yes, Wenji has seen it." Cai Wenji answered truthfully.
"Then is it possible that with Miss Wenji's intelligence, she can achieve photographic memory and fill in the missing content again?" Jiang Erlang raised his lips slightly.
"This..." Cai Wenji's eyes widened and she looked at Jiang Erlang seriously.
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you can't. I just want Miss Wenji to help me..."
"Can!"
「???」Ejiro.
"Young Master has always said that Jiang Erlang is the most intelligent person in the Night Detective Division. I didn't believe it before. I only thought that Young Master's talent was unparalleled in the world. Today I know that Deputy Chief Jiang is indeed extraordinary." The look on Cai Wenji's face Showing admiration: "Originally, Wen Ji wanted to tell the young master quietly about this matter, but unexpectedly, Deputy Chief Jiang saw through it at a glance!"
"So, can you really have a photographic memory?" Jiang Erlang's eyes widened.
"Well, yes." Cai Wenji nodded seriously: "Although I can't write down all the contents in one breath, I can make up for the missing parts."
What a great talent!!!
Jiang Erlang's original intention was to let Cai Wenji pretend to be able to fill in the missing pieces, so as to "seduce" the person who stole the bronze figure and come again to steal eight complete ancient books.
After all, according to his reasoning, since the other party does not want to restart the Immortal Sect, then they will never leave the contents of the eight ancient books intact.
However, he did not expect that Cai Wenji could actually make up for the shortcomings!
In this way, it is not a fake show but a real show!
Jiang Erlang took a deep breath: "In that case, please ask Miss Wenji to fill the vacancy as soon as possible. I will protect the safety of the girl."
"Okay, in this courtyard?" Cai Wenji bowed slightly.
They didn't even ask about the danger.
"No, find a sealed room!" After Jiang Erlang finished speaking, he added: "It's best to have the door and windows sealed so that no one can come in!"
When Cai Wenji heard this, she looked at Jiang Erlang strangely.
Jiang Erlang knew that the other party had misunderstood.
Just as she was about to explain, Cai Wenji said again: "Okay, then Wenji will go prepare now."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Jiang Erlang looked at Cai Wenji's leaving figure and sighed in his heart... This Cai Wenji is indeed a smart and sensible woman.
Eight thousand taels of silver was well spent!
Of course, considering Cai Wenji's reputation, Jiang Erlang decided to find two more people.
One is Mo Su and the other is Ji Ruxue.
There are two reasons for looking for Ji Ruxue. First, Ji Ruxue is a woman. Second, based on the judgment of preventing the restart of the Immortal Sect, Ji Ruxue has certain suspicions.
Jiang Erlang arrived at Mosu first.
After some in-depth and simple conversation, Mo Su quickly expressed his agreement.
meaning.
Then, he took Mo Su to find the room where Ji Ruxue was.
"Crunch!"
Ji Ruxue opened the door and saw Jiang Erlang and Mo Su at the door: "Is something wrong?"
"According to the investigation process, a routine search needs to be conducted." Jiang Erlang said sternly: "I hope Miss Ji can cooperate."
"Are you going to search me?" Ji Ruxue seemed to have thought of something.
"Well, in order to avoid embarrassment, I specially brought Miss Mo Su here." Jiang Erlang explained.
Ji Ruxue looked at Jiang Erlang seriously and said word by word: "So, what Erlang means is that you need me to take off all my clothes?"
"That's what I mean." Jiang Erlang nodded.
"What if I don't agree?" Ji Ruxue tilted her head.
"If Miss Ji doesn't agree, I will have to use another method."
"Oh? Are you going to force yourself, Erlang?"
"No, I want Miss Ji to do me a favor."
"???"
"Miss Wen Ji said that she has a photographic memory and can fill in all the missing pages of ancient borrowed books." Jiang Erlang said: "So, I would like to ask Miss Ji and Miss Mo Su to accompany me in a separate room.
Protect Miss Wenji, and in this way you can protect Miss Wenji’s reputation.”
"Is this another method you mentioned?" Ji Ruxue blinked.
"Yes, what else? Did Miss Ji think that I would use force? Or, Miss Ji actually... expected me to use force?" Jiang Erlang raised the corner of his mouth.
"Haha, Erlang can give it a try!" Ji Ruxue smiled slightly.
Mo Su spoke at the right time: "I didn't expect that Ji Ruxue, the princess of the Zhou Dynasty, would actually fall in love with a night watchman of the Night Detective Department. This is really a strange news."
Jiang Erlang immediately stopped in front of Ji Ruxue: "Mo Su, what are you talking about? There is nothing wrong between me and Miss Ji. Don't insult Miss Ji's reputation!"
"Haha, isn't it? Even a fool can see that you two have an ambiguous relationship, right?" Mo Su curled his lips, turned and left without waiting for Jiang Erlang to speak again: "Since we want to protect Miss Wenji's safety, please two of you
