Datang: From exiled prince to eternal tyrant

Chapter 300 Accurate Analysis
"My lord, wait a moment."

The county magistrate immediately panicked when he heard Li Ke's words. He didn't know what Li Ke was going to do to him, so he was still a little worried.

Li Ke had long seen that the county magistrate was a little scared, but he didn't explain anything, but got down to business.

"I went to the shipyard today and heard something. Recently, a group of thieves have been making trouble in the shipyard. I heard that the shipyard has reported to the authorities, but there has been no plan to deal with it. Is there such a thing?"

Li Ke asked.

The county magistrate never expected that Li Ke was asking about this matter. He had been troubled by this matter for a long time, but he still had no breakthrough. He knew it firsthand.

He thought that those people in the shipyard would never tell the king of Shu about this matter. After all, it was their mistake, and they understand the truth that family ugliness should not be publicized. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to the king of Shu after telling me? Here it is.

By the way, he was given an incompetent hat.

Now the county magistrate felt a little ashamed, but he naturally wanted to answer Li Ke's question, so he nodded in shame.

"It is true that this matter is due to the incompetence of the subordinate officials. I hope His Royal Highness King Shu Haihan."

said the magistrate.

"Don't be too nervous. I didn't come to ask you about your crime. This matter is indeed a bit tricky. I didn't have a clue just now. I just wanted to ask how your investigation is going and whether you have any clues to provide."

Li Ke watched the other party's reaction while talking, at least he had to judge whether the other party was lying.

Even if the other party said that there was no clue at all, he would feel strange, but if the other party lied to him, maybe he had something to do with that group of people.

Li Ke originally did not doubt the Suzhou County Magistrate, but that is not necessarily the case now, because for the so-called Su Yuanwai incident, normally shouldn't Su Yuanwai come to apologize?

After all, this matter was a bit big, but Yuanwai Su didn't come over, instead he let a local official come over.

How much face does Yuanwai Su have to be able to support and mobilize local officials?Li Ke felt that it was okay to have a chance. He would meet the other party and see what was going on with the other party.

Is there any collusion between the two parties? If it weren't for the strong driving force, the two of them should not have such a relationship.

"There are currently no clues. If there were clues, I wouldn't have to worry so much."

The county magistrate said helplessly that he had sent a large number of people to search, but found nothing, not even the lost wood, without any trace, as if it had disappeared out of thin air.

"Since this is the case, I probably understand that there is nothing to do with you here. You can go back. You don't have to deal with this matter anymore. I will solve it myself."

Li Ke sent the county magistrate away after saying one sentence.

When the county magistrate heard what Li Ke said, he left very tactfully. He wished that Li Ke would let him go. If he stayed here for a second, he would feel chills all over.

I don't know why the few words Li Ke said later made his heart tremble when he saw him, and he wondered if Li Ke had seen something.

In fact it is.

At this time, Xiangling and Chou Nuer were not thinking about the county magistrate. After Chou Nuer and Li Ke explained the whole story, they quickly turned their thoughts back to the topic just now.

Both of them were wondering what was going on in the shipyard.

"How are you two thinking about it? If you really can't figure it out, let it go, and you will know the result tomorrow."

Li Ke looked at the two of them with a smile.

It's rare to see two people thinking about something seriously with such a sad face.

Especially Chou Nuer, in the past, Chou Nuer was always confident, as if he could talk about everything, but now he has no idea at all.

This made Li Ke feel a little surprised.

"I probably have some clues. I was thinking, since there is no whereabouts of the wood at all, is it possible that they didn't take the wood away at all? Could it be that they hid it? It's in the shipyard Nearby, after all, the most dangerous place is the safest place, no one of them would have thought that this thing is still in the shipyard, right?"

Chou Nuer's thinking is relatively clear, and Li Ke has also made such an assumption, but he doesn't think so.

"I don't think that's the case. The people in the shipyard know the shipyard very well. There is no place that is the most dangerous, but the safest place. And the amount of wood they stole is very large. It may be very difficult to hide it. , are also easy to spot and run out of time."

Li Ke said.

After hearing Li Ke's analysis, Chou Nuer also felt that it was very reasonable. They should really have no choice but to hide all the wood in just a quarter of an hour. This is the biggest problem.

Even if they dug a secret tunnel in the shipyard, it would be discovered almost immediately before they could transport it.

Chou Nuer saw that her guess was not correct, and she was still a little disappointed afterwards.

Randomly, Li Ke turned his gaze to Xiangling.

"How? Did you think of anything?"

"I'm wondering if it's possible that the people in the shipyard persisted in committing theft? Since no one has found any clues, could it be because one of their own people did it? If so, they can't find it no matter how hard they look. ah."

Xiangling felt that his idea was very reasonable, and the possibility of this was very high. This kind of thing was quite common before, and he had encountered it when he was in Tuyuhun.

In order to embezzle public property, some people will use this method to pretend that those things were stolen, but in fact they took it away.

Li Ke felt that Xiangling's idea was rather peculiar, but he also felt that this was impossible, so he shook his head.

"Although your idea is not bad, it should not be like this."

"Is there any speculation, Your Highness?"

The ugly slave asked suddenly.

He understood now that Li Ke should have known it already, that's why he was so calm.

It was just playing with them just now, if they can really say something similar to what Li Ke thinks, maybe Li Ke will feel a little surprised.

But if he couldn't tell, Li Ke probably wouldn't have any reaction. After all, he already knew it in his heart, and he didn't expect them to give an answer.

Li Ke nodded, and then expressed his guess.

"First of all, it's about these timbers. I asked the county magistrate just now, and he said that there were no clues, which proves that these timbers have never left the shipyard. You must know that the shipyard is near the sea."
