As a famous minister, Wei Zheng was very intelligent. However, he never expected that this young constable would solve this theft case so quickly.
Even his assistant was so powerful.
"Brother Su, there's only one key to this study room. I always carry it with me." Wei Zheng was a little puzzled. The windows in the study were all locked from the inside and were intact. How did the thief get in? How did you get out?"
Not only was there no trace of destruction in the study, there were no footprints left behind. His wooden board seemed to have disappeared into thin air. How could Wei Zheng not feel strange?
After Su Che heard this, he smiled calmly.""Milord has checked very carefully. Your study is well protected, but you have forgotten about that place.”
Wei Zheng couldn't help but look in the direction the young constable was pointing at. However, after looking at it, his face immediately revealed anger."Little Brother Su, are you making fun of me?”
No wonder Wei Zheng was so angry. Su Che was only pointing at a bowl-sized hole in the wall. Such a small vent, even a Legendary powerhouse would not be able to pass through it with the Bone Shrinking Technique.
Moreover, if it was really a Legendary powerhouse, he would not even bother to steal it. Instead, he would directly destroy his study and break in to take it. It would not be so troublesome.
Seeing Wei Zheng's angry expression, Song Ci walked forward and said with a smile,"Milord, please calm down. Who said that thieves who steal things must be humans?”
"Ah?" Wei Zheng finally reacted and said in surprise,"What do you mean? It wasn't stolen?"
Song Ci walked forward and picked up a random book on the ground. He pointed at the small footprints on it and explained to Wei Zheng,"This soil is light black. It should be the soil from the back garden. This footprint must be very familiar to Daren, right?”
Wei Zheng was once again flabbergasted." This is my civet cat. But it has always been docile. Every time it comes to my study, it only eats some pastries." Why would you steal my jade board?"
Da Hua was a civet cat pet raised by Wei Zheng. It was very docile and was loved by his family. However, he never expected that such a pet would actually steal his board.
At this moment, Su Che explained to Wei Zheng,""Daren's jade slab should be made of top quality jade. It was warm in winter and cool in summer, and the civet cat must have often nestled on it, so it knew its benefits.”
"There is only one reason why a docile and loyal civet cat dares to steal its master's items, and that is for its cubs.”
After Wei Zheng heard this, he was dumbfounded. This young constable's speculation was simply unbelievable. Could it be that the truth of this case was really as the young man in front of him speculated?
"Whether or not this is the truth, Milord will know once you investigate.”Su Che smiled.
"Men, search all the hidden places in the back garden and find the civet cat.”Wei Zheng walked out of the study and instructed the servants.
"Yes, Master." The servants hurriedly ran away as if they had been pardoned.
Actually, Wei Zheng was already 70 - 80% sure.
When he looked at Su Che again, he no longer had that lofty and superior demeanor of an elder.
"Men, watch the tea."
After inviting Su Che to sit down, Wei Zheng asked,""This old man has been around for a long time, but in terms of insight and analytical ability, I have never seen such outstanding talents like you two.”
"However, I still have a question. In the past, when the civet cats gave birth to their cubs, they would always lie on the fluffy cushion beside the stove. Why did they go to the back garden this time?”
Su Che took a sip of tea and smiled.""You have to ask yourself, sir. Did you give away all its previous cubs?”
Wei Zheng's expression froze for a moment before he came to a realization. Then, he laughed loudly and said,"Brother Su is brilliant, brilliant. With your reminder, this old man is instantly enlightened.”
Raccoon cats were known for their docility, loyalty, intelligence, and obedience. They had always been loved by the noble ladies and young ladies of Chang 'an City.
However, the breed was very rare, and it was extremely difficult to buy one even if one spent money.
Therefore, every time Wei Zheng's raccoon cat gave birth to a cub, it would attract the attention of those civil officials and generals who would fight to get a cub for their wives and daughters.
…………
A moment later, a servant's joyful voice came from outside the door.
"Old Master, Old Master has found it, and so has your board.”
One servant was carrying a litter of kittens, while the other servant was carefully holding a board.
Behind them was a raccoon cat that was crying out miserably.
When Wei Zheng saw this scene, he was also surprised and happy. He went forward to take the kittens and placed them on a fluffy cushion. The civet cat also screamed and pounced on the cushion, bravely protecting the kittens under it.
However, when the civet cat saw its master, its emerald green eyes dodged, as if it had made a mistake. It did not dare to look directly into its master's eyes.
Looking at its aggrieved eyes, Wei Zheng's heart immediately softened. Then, he laughed and scolded,"Because of your mischievousness, many people almost suffered an undeserved disaster.”
"Alright, in the future, you won't send these little brats to anyone. You can raise them yourself.”
Hearing its master's words, the civet cat immediately nudged its master coquettishly.
Wei Zheng no longer looked like an impartial censor. At this moment, he looked like a standard poop-picker.
The missing board was also safe and sound. It was obvious that the civet cat knew how precious this thing was.
This strange theft case was solved, and Wei Zheng was extremely grateful to Su Che and Song Ci.
Although this case seemed small, it saved Wei Zheng's reputation. With the harsh torture of the Supreme Court, these servants might really be beaten into confessing.
When Wei Zheng thought of this, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He solemnly bowed to Su Che,""Brother Su, you really have great foresight.”
"Milord, there's no need to be so polite. Actually, the two of us came here because we have something to ask of you.”Su Che quickly helped Wei Zheng up and told him about what happened at the Supreme Court.
Wei Zheng had always been upright and impartial. After hearing this, he flew into a rage."This Tong Wei, I've been trying to impeach him for his illegal behavior. Unfortunately, he's a cunning old fox. Now that we have Little Brother Su as our witness, we can impeach him for not doing his job properly and embezzling the funds from the Ministry of Revenue…"
