Chapter 137: Huge harvest
From the second half of the night, the bustling sound outside the window has almost never stopped.
Yan Liqiang slept on the bed, and from time to time, he could hear someone running by in the alley outside. He slept on the bed, sleeping extremely steadily, and he was not worried that he would be discovered at all.
In an era where there are no cameras, no big data, no tracking dogs, no complete criminal investigation methods, and everything can only be accomplished by manpower, it is almost impossible to track a person who does not exist in a city as big as Pingxi City.
Not to mention this era, even in his previous life, you can see that in the Lan Keer incident, it is known that in the place known as the Lighthouse Country, in a hotel full of cameras, the suspect can be locked in a limited group of people, a Chinese girl died like that, but the murderer can still be spared. This is the real reality.
And what is the most critical point? That is, everyone knows that the person who committed these things is the giant bandit Flying Mountain Wind. When he was still a little penniless or even a little kid, the Flying Mountain Wind had already flown everywhere and committed the crime, and his father was one of the victims of Flying Mountain Wind. Who would have thought of the so-called Flying Mountain Wind, which is himself.
Therefore, as long as you were not blocked on the spot when you left last night, you would not have to worry about the ones behind you. Relying on the few constables in Pingxi to find yourself, even if those constables transformed into Sherlock Holmes one by one, it would be impossible.
What Sherlock Holmes needs to solve the case is logical clues, and what he does is irrelevant and cannot be explained by logic. Until now, for those Shatu people and the Ye family, they are all small people who have nothing to do with them.
...
Just like on weekdays, Yan Liqiang got up before dawn. After practicing eye and ear skills with peace of mind and completing morning classes, Yan Liqiang took out the things he had plundered last night, put them on the bed, and carefully took them in the room.
Yan Liqiang admired his patience after being able to keep these things in the house overnight.
When the black package opened, the most dazzling ones inside were the jewelry of various colors. The jewelry of all kinds were the best, the red sapphires of longan size, diamonds, and a bunch of exquisite jewelry that looked very valuable, which could make people's eyes thorn.
Although Yan Liqiang did not understand the market conditions of these jewels, he also knew that the value of these jewels, if it was measured in gold, it would probably be worth at least tens of thousands of taels of gold.
Although Yan Liqiang is not a greedy person, he could not help but look at these treasures he had never seen in his previous life and in his life, and his eyes were shining, saliva flowing, and a smirk appeared on his face without realizing it. He didn't know why the Shatu people had these things on their hands, but this was not important. From then on, these things became Yan.
If the value of things like jewelry and stones is difficult to estimate, then the value of a thick stack of silver notes is much more intuitive. How much silver can be exchanged for each silver notes are written on the silver notes.
There are two denominations for silver notes, one is 5,000 taels and the other is 10,000 taels. This is also the most common denomination for large-scale silver notes issued by the bank. After counting, there are 42 silver notes of 5,000 taels, a total of 210,000 taels of silver, and a total of 280,000 taels of silver, which is 280,000 taels of silver. Adding the two together, the value of all silver notes is just 490,000 taels of silver.
Forty-nine thousand taels of silver, this is an astronomical number. Yan Liqiang counted it twice. After confirming this number, his head couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.
All silver notes are issued by Datong Money Bank, which do not require secret deposits. They are the most widely circulated and have the best credit. They are filled with tickets. Datong Money Bank is the most famous money house in the northwest states of the Han Empire. Even the official silver and military pay exchanges in the northwest states of the Han Empire are carried out through Datong Money Bank.
I don’t know what was inside the black bottle sealed with wax, and Yan Liqiang didn’t open it rashly, but Yan Liqiang saw four small characters of the soul-taking poison at the bottom of the black bottle.
Yan Liqiang didn't know what the soul-snatching poison was, but those Shatu people hid this bottle of poison specifically in the interlayer in the box. I guess this soul-snatching poison must be extraordinary.
The black metal roundabout, which was more than half a foot long, looked dark and a little heavy in his hand. He didn't know what it was. Yan Liqiang observed it himself and found that there seemed to be a machine that could be pressed down at the bottom of the metal cylinder, and at the other end of the metal cylinder, there was a circle of soybean-sized holes like a sieve.
Next to the mechanical clone that can be pressed, there is a circle of patterns, with three inscriptions in the patterns.
Dragon Demon Island? Yan Liqiang didn’t know where this place was. Of course, he wouldn’t be so stupid that he would press the machine to see what would happen to the metal cylinder. He thought for a long time and felt that this metal cylinder was a bit like a weapon or a hidden weapon, but he didn’t know how to use this thing, so he had to put it aside first.
Yan Liqiang held the thing as big as a dove egg and flashed with a strange luster. He held it in his hand for a long time and didn't know what it was. At this time, Yan Liqiang finally realized that he was still too ignorant. There were three things among the piles of things, and he didn't know what it was.
Yan Liqiang grabbed his head and put the two pigeon egg-like things back.
In the end, the one underneath was wrapped in red silk cloth, which looked like a book.
Yan Liqiang opened layers of silk cloth, and a book that was soaked in blood appeared in front of him.
The book was so impactful, especially the blood stains on the book. The whole book seemed to feel that most of it had been soaked in blood. Yan Liqiang couldn't help but feel a trembling in his heart when he read it.
On the cover of the book soaked in blood, there was a row of large characters "The Magical Art of the Poison King of the Five Elements".
This book once again confirmed Yan Liqiang's ignorance, but looking at the title of this book, Yan Liqiang couldn't help but continue to read it curiously.
Chapter completed!
