Chapter 182 Lost Equipment (Eighth)
Huaxia City has to suck a large number of foreign population every day. About tens of thousands of people enter and exit Huaxia City within a day. Such a huge population inflow is particularly difficult to manage. After all, there were no ID cards in ancient times, so there were many people who were mixed with fish. Once these people stayed in the city for too long, problems would inevitably arise.
Sure enough, early in the morning, guards came to report.
"Report to the commander, the crossbow cart number 1241 in the east disappeared."
This matter is amazing, which means that someone has already set his sights on Qing Cang's advanced siege weapons. It can be said that this is a big event and may endanger Huaxia City. Once the siege weapons fall into the hands of others, they can imitate Qing Cang to drive the army over, get a thousand crossbows, and attack directly, which will make them cry without tears.
The matter is not over yet. Before he can react, another guard hurried in. "Report to the commander, the two sets of Teng Armor numbers 15412 and 15413 are missing. There are also two consecutive crossbows with numbers 25145 and 25146 are also missing."
The crossbow cart was just lost in front, and there were Teng armor and the crossbows behind him, which made Qing Cang feel a little crisis. At the same time, he also felt a little incredible. These people dared to steal his weapons and equipment openly. They must have been tired of living. They made him unhappy and drove directly to the army and destroy you.
When Guo Jia heard this, he thought for a while and said, "These thieves should have made plans in advance, otherwise they would not have lost these two things at the same time in such a short time. You know, our patrol time is very close. And the things they stole are very representative."
The security environment of the entire Huaxia City is quite good. There are people who dare to steal things under their noses. There must be premeditations among them. Moreover, these people who steal the ballista must have certain skills to support, and there must be gang combat.
This was stolen by them. How could Qing Cang let these people get away with it? Moreover, these things fell into the hands of others for a moment and might be used by others. In that case, the special weapons of the Chinese Legion will no longer be special. For them, it is fatal. Everyone is on the same starting line, and the weapons they have made are used by others to hit themselves. What a sad thing it is.
"Who is coveting my siege weapons and Teng Jia?"
They only stole two weapons and one armor, but did not steal the city car. This is easier to understand. Perhaps because the city car is too big, otherwise the city car would be stolen.
"I guess it was the nearby city that sent people to come. As for who it is, there are too many goals, and it is difficult to guess."
It can be said that cities that spread outward with Huaxia City as the center are possible, not only them, or they may be stolen by those who are interested in stealing these things and selling them to others at a high price. You should know that in the face of money, some people can even ignore their lives.
"It's reasonable, we get a look at the scene. Let's go and see the crossbows! The guards lead the way!"
Before viewing the scene, the judgment made is only speculation, and everything must be seen after viewing the scene.
Without further ado, the guards did not dare to neglect them. They immediately prepared the horses and took the two of them to the east of the city. The dust all the way, and people saluted Qing Cang's appearance one after another, which was a respect for a ruler. Now he is a hero of the entire Huaxia City, and he also enjoys this feeling of being above ten thousand people.
When they arrived, some of the soldiers on the scene immediately shouted "Assembly". They quickly assembled, and some shouted "Salute!" They saluted the military salute in unison.
He replied: "You are yours, do whatever you should do, don't worry about us."
"yes!"
The soldiers dispersed and returned to their posts.
He walked to the missing crossbow where the crossbow was located, which was already lonely, with marks left on the ground and some oil stains. The entire crossbow had been stolen. The original crossbow was on the edge of a sentry tower, and it was a blind spot in sight. It was no wonder that they could steal it smoothly.
"Commander, there are rope marks here."
Anyone who walks by will leave traces. Qing Cang follows the place where Guo Jia points out and sees the bricks on the city wall, there are indeed several traces of ropes. Looking down along the city wall, there are several footprints of people on the edge of the wall, and there are also a messy trace of sand and soil.
He immediately made a judgment. "These people first dismantled the crossbow truck and then transported it out of the city."
As soon as he saw it, Qing Cang made a judgment, which surprised Guo Jia a little because he couldn't see what was going on. He had never studied investigation, which was of course.
"How did the commander know?"
Qing Cang pointed to the following and said, "Look at the oil on the ground, it is splashed everywhere. When you look at the sand on the city wall, there are no wheel marks on the wheel. Instead, there are many footprints. The footprints are divided into two rows, which means that they are carrying the crossbows away from the city wall, and then carrying the dismantled crossbows to the edge of the haystack and covering them with grass."
Qing Cang has also studied professional courses for solving cases, so he can easily analyze them.
Since that's the case, Guo Jia continued to ask, "When will they commit the crime?"
He then analyzed: "If you want to transport it out earlier, you must pass the suspension bridge. The bridge will inevitably rise at night. Then they should leave the city before the suspension bridge rises, or leave when the suspension bridge descends in the morning."
Apart from these two points, there seems to be no other possibility. Some people may say that crossing the moat is impossible, because there is no tool for them to cross.
"Listen to the commander, I think they have a higher chance of leaving in the morning. Why? Because I am the rule of elimination. If I commit a crime at night and are discovered, they probably won't be able to escape. So they can only commit the crime when it is almost dawn. Then place the crossbow trucks in one place and finally transport them out of the city. Commander, do you think my analysis is correct?"
Qing Cang nodded in admiration. Although Guo Jia's judgment on the scene was not very good, his judgment on the development of the situation was very accurate.
"You're right, they left in the morning."
"Then have they already run far away?"
"It can be said that, but it can't run much, and they will definitely use a carriage to pull the crossbow away."
"That's good, they can't escape. I'm now asking the guards to inquire along the way. Once they find clues, they can definitely catch them!"
"This should be fast, otherwise it will not be good for us when they leave too far!"
"Yes, I'll arrange for the people below to do it."
Guo Jia took his order and immediately went down to arrange for the soldiers to prepare their horses to find the place of the crossbow.
I believe it won't take too long, and the result will definitely come out. Then you will know who wants to steal his weapon.
