Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape

Master Zheng and the butler led Prefect Hong and others to the warehouse. The butler arrived at the warehouse before Master Zheng, so he was the first to tell Prefect Hong the story.

"I followed the master's order and brought the guards to the warehouse. All the guards guarding the warehouse fell down. Their situation was the same as the guards in the study. They were all drugged and passed out. Afterwards, we poured water on them, beat them hard, and even invited a doctor to give them medicine, but they still haven't woken up.

The situation in the warehouse was the same as that in the study. I asked the guards to check the doors and windows. I checked the lock and made sure it was intact. When I opened the warehouse door, I found that the warehouse was empty.

After receiving the warning letter from the damn thief, the master opened the door of the warehouse to check and make sure that nothing was missing.

After dinner last night, the master came over to check in person and everything was there. The key to the warehouse was originally given to his wife for safekeeping. After receiving the notice, the master asked me to take it from him.

The master has always kept the key to the warehouse. He gave it to me and asked me to check the warehouse after the incident happened. The housekeeper explained the matter one by one and cleared himself of suspicion.

Magistrate Hong understood what he meant. The keys to the study and warehouse had been kept by Mr. Zheng for the past two days, and he confirmed after dinner that everything in the warehouse was there.

There are dozens of times more large items in the warehouse than in the study. Even if ten people were to empty the warehouse openly, it would take a day or even two days.

The fact is that the entire warehouse was emptied in just a few hours.

In addition, the guard in charge of guarding has been drugged and has not woken up yet. All signs indicate that Ji De is not an ordinary person and is most likely a gangster.

Magistrate Hong did not express his own opinion, but as before, he ordered the captain of police to check the scene. He also personally checked the lock of the warehouse.

The lock of the warehouse is not a gold lock, but the craftsmanship of the lock is no worse than that of the study, and they are not ordinary locks.

There were no signs of the lock being pried open by brute force, so it can be preliminarily judged that if Ji De entered through the main door, he either used a key or had very high lock-picking skills.

How Ji De got the key is another matter. His intuition makes him more inclined to the latter. If Ji De is a gangster, it is common for him to learn a lot of survival skills.

Assuming that Ji De Zheng came from the underworld, it would be very difficult for the court to investigate, because there were too many strange people and things in the underworld, and the court lacked such information channels.

After confirming that the lock was secure, he signaled to the butler to open it. Mr. Zheng understood and took out the key and handed it to the butler. The butler opened the lock, pushed the door open, and silently took a step back.

The light in the warehouse is better than that in the study. Even without opening the window, you can roughly see what's going on in the room. It's empty and there's really nothing to see.

Magistrate Hong asked the butler to go in and open the window, and the butler came out and waited after opening the window.

The warehouse is not a study room. Very few people can enter, and no one is allowed to come in to clean it every day. Therefore, the dust in the warehouse is divided into three parts.

The lightest layer of dust showed that the items in the warehouse were arranged in a very regular pattern, and servants would occasionally come in to clean the aisle, so there wasn't much dust left.

Secondly, there is more dust, which is obviously where objects are placed. It is a place that is frequently used and does not accumulate much dust.

The thickest dust can be clearly seen as a thick layer of dust. This is where items that have not been moved for more than ten years or even decades are placed.

Here in the warehouse, you can clearly see footprints left after the items were cleared out.

By analyzing the footprints on the ground, Magistrate Hong and the captain of the police frowned so hard that they could fake the death of a fly.

Apart from the footprints left by the housekeeper who had just opened the window, and passing by some messy footprints in the corridor, the two found that the footprints on the dust were clearly visible small footprints and small squares, and did not find the footprints left by Ji De in the study.

The direction of the small footprints was very clear. Following the marks, it was found that "Ji De" had a smooth journey, as if wherever he went, the obstacles in front of him disappeared, until he turned around at the wall and continued to move forward.

The "virtue accumulation" of the little footprints is like visiting a vegetable market. It walks around the warehouse and then directly puts everything that stands in its way into the "vegetable basket" and takes it away.

The footprints are very clear, and there are no extra people. Even if the person who left the small footprints is a strong man who moves things back and forth, there will not be just one footprint in and out!

Do the strange people in the world have such miraculous abilities?

If they face off head-on, will they have a chance of winning?

This is already a god-like technique.

Or, has the legendary Penglai Island been found in the martial arts world, and the immortal has returned after cultivating?

Prefect Hong was completely stunned.

Damn! Is this something a mortal can interfere with?

Prefect Hong and the captain of the police said nothing, and they could not make any speculative remarks in front of the victim, which would affect the image of the government.

"Master Zheng, is it possible to draw Ji De's appearance? Since his face cannot be seen clearly, just draw his clothes and appearance." Prefect Hong said with a stern face.

Although Mr. Zheng knew that they would not say much, he still couldn't help but ask: "Sir, have you found any clues? What do you need me to do?"

"This Ji De's criminal methods are very sophisticated. We can't figure it out in a short time. We need to study it carefully. This officer needs Ji De's portrait to issue a wanted notice."

Mr. Zheng understood that Magistrate Hong did not intend to reveal anything, and the sophisticated criminal methods meant that there were not many clues or even troublesome ones. It was understandable that they had no clue either.

The point is, the prefect has been handling cases for many years, but he has never mentioned similar cases to comfort him as a victim, which means that Ji De's case is the first one he has encountered so far.

Therefore, it was useless for him to be anxious. There was almost no possibility of recovering so much lost property, even if Prefect Hong finally caught Ji De.

Mr. Zheng gritted his teeth, holding back his anger, and kept cursing Ji De in his heart, but he still had to put on a smile and cooperate with the prefect in investigating the case: "Okay, I'll go and draw it right away."

After the prefect and the captain of the police saw the portrait painted by Mr. Zheng, they both didn't know how to start for a moment.

No wonder Master Zheng and the others said that Ji De’s clothes were strange. His attire was more peculiar than the clothes of foreign countries or even other small countries.

Prefect Hong was sure that the clothes Ji De was wearing did not belong to a country that had had ties with Zhao State, or to any other chivalrous hero, but more like someone who had returned from the fairyland.

I'm not praising his good looks, but his outfit doesn't seem to be from this world, so could Ji De be the person who returned from Penglai Island?

If this is the case, accumulating virtue will earn you respect from the emperor in any country, so why choose to be a thief?

Don’t cultivators all care about cause and effect and help the people?

Can being a thief lead to success?

Prefect Hong felt that he had lived for decades, but all his cognition seemed to be shattered when he saw Ji De's portrait.
