Sun Yong said this and pointed to the marks on his board. Zhao Feng observed carefully and found that the floor here seemed to have traces of heavy objects dragging it.
Zhao Feng glanced down from the floor he had just lifted, and sure enough he found marks rubbed by ropes on the beams.
This made Zhao Feng give Sun Yong a thumbs up.
"Master Sun is indeed a master. He has just arrived here and found such an obvious clue!"
Sun Yong waved his hand indifferently and said to Zhao Feng.
"But I still don't understand why they can lift such a heavy box to the rafters with only a few people?"
Zhao Feng thought for a moment, suddenly understood, and said to Sun Yong.
"Master Sun, this should be the function of a pulley!"
"You only need to tie a rope to the box first, then put a pulley on it, and tie the other end of the rope to the yellow beam. Then you can use the pulley to easily lift the box."
"But I'm afraid there aren't enough people, so after the box came to this room, they couldn't lift it up and had to drag it on the ground, which is why these marks were left!"
Sun Yong couldn't help but praise and said to Zhao Feng.
"I didn't expect Mr. Zhao to be so talented in investigating crimes."
"As long as we find these pulleys, we will be able to find the real murderer!"
Zhao Feng nodded, and at this moment, the county master suddenly came to the inn with a group of government officials. Hearing the noise coming from below, Sun Yong and Zhao Feng also walked out.
"I didn't know that the Lord of Jingzhao Mansion came here, but I came late. Please forgive me!"
Sun Yong shook his head slightly and said to the magistrate of Qinghe County.
"Liu Zhixian, something like this happened in your line, but you didn't investigate it properly. Now I want you to let the entire county government help us track down the real culprit. Only then can we atone for our sins!"
When Liu Zhixian heard this, sweat poured down his face. He nodded quickly and agreed with evasive eyes.
"Of course, of course!"
"Master Sun can transfer everyone in the county government at will!"
Sun Yong nodded slightly and asked Liu Zhixian to take the people back, but Zhao Feng felt an unusual aura from Liu Zhixian's reaction just now.
If County Magistrate Liu didn't know about this matter, he wouldn't be so panicked. After all, Jingzhao Mansion came to investigate the case, and he only needed to help.
But just now, he looked like he didn't expect that Jingzhao Mansion would come to investigate the case, and he was secretly signaling the shop owner with his eyes, as if there was some conspiracy between the two of them.
Just as Zhao Feng was thinking this, Sun Yong turned his head and asked Zhao Feng.
"It seems that Mr. Zhao has also figured it out. Then you will be responsible for interrogating the store owner. I will lead a team to the county government office in Liu Zhi County to have a look."
Zhao Feng nodded quickly, and when the shop owner heard that he was going to be interrogated, he quickly stood up, made an innocent expression, and hurriedly defended himself.
"Why do you still have something to do with me? I just open a shop and do business. I'm just messing with whoever I want!"
Zhao Feng turned around and looked at the shop owner. The shop owner was in his forties or fifties, with a fat head and a very smooth person at first glance.
If I try to force him to question him, I'm afraid he won't get anything done at all. After all, this is not a murder case, just a theft.
It is precisely because of the special nature of this case that even though it is obvious that the store owner knows some clues, there is no way to force him to tell it through torture.
Zhao Feng smiled slightly, walked over directly, waved to the shop owner and said.
"Shopkeeper, sit down first, sit down and then we'll talk!"
The shop owner looked at Zhao Feng and became arrogant again when he noticed that Sun Yong had left. Then he couldn't help complaining.
"You guys stayed here for just one night, but ended up delaying my business for several days. Who should pay for this loss?"
Zhao Feng chuckled, calmly placed the badge Zhou Kang gave him on the table, and asked the shop owner.
"Do you know what this is?"
The shop owner looked at the waist tag carefully and found that the pattern on the waist tag was extremely exquisite, with the word "kang" in the middle.
"I don't know, but is this belt made of pure gold?"
Just when the shop owner wanted to take a closer look at this waist card, Zhao Feng suddenly slammed the table and said in a stern voice.
"This is the status badge of the fourth prince of the current dynasty!"
"Seeing this waist badge is equivalent to meeting the Fourth Prince!"
Hearing this, the shop owner was frightened and his hands shook. He hurriedly picked up the badge so as not to drop it on the table.
Then, he carefully handed the waistband in front of Zhao Feng with both hands, and then said with a smile.
"Sir, I'm just a nobody, why are you trying to make things difficult for me?"
Zhao Feng slowly stood up and bent down to approach the shop owner, which made Zhao Feng look full of oppression.
"Shopkeeper, it's not that I'm not making things difficult for you, it's you who is making things difficult for yourself!"
"Even the fourth prince has intervened in this matter. Don't you still see the seriousness of this matter?"
"If you think about it carefully, who is scarier than the people who stole those cloths, or the prison of the Ministry of Punishment in the capital!"
When the shop owner heard this, he showed a bitter expression on his face, then sighed, nodded and said.
"Okay, sir, I'll recruit them all!"
"If I had known about this incident and had something to do with the prince, I would never have dared to hide it!"
Zhao Feng couldn't help but feel happy when he heard that the store owner was willing to confess, but he still maintained a serious expression on his face.
The store owner said to Zhao Feng.
"Just two days before these guests came to my store, a group of people suddenly came to stay at my place and asked me to move the people who came with boxes behind them to the lower part of their room."
"They gave me too much money, and they told me not to tell anyone about anything I saw. I was obsessed with it, so I did what they told me."
"Early the next morning, they did carry a box and left from behind. Later, the county boss brought people over to investigate the case and specifically told me not to tell anyone about the matter under any circumstances. Only then did I realize that I might I'm in trouble, but I don't dare to say anything, what if the county master arrests me?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Feng couldn't help but sneer in his heart. It seems that this matter has something to do with Liu Zhixian!
So Zhao Feng reached out and grabbed the waist badge and said directly to the servants of the Shen family.
"You guys watch him here, I'll go to the county office!"
