Shen Ning's eyes lit up: "You are right, in this case, this drawing can only be in one place!"
"Where?" Mo Chuan's eyes also lit up.
"Inn!" She affirmed.
Mo Chuan immediately shook his head: "Impossible. I have sent people to search the post house carefully. Every room has been dug three feet into the ground. Everyone in the post house has been searched, but the blueprint has not been found."
"Have you really searched every place?" Shen Ning thought thoughtfully.
"Yes, I personally led people to search." Mo Chuan nodded affirmatively.
"Have you searched the room where the Northern Qi envoy lives?"
"The first thing I searched was that room." Mo Chuan said.
"Every corner? Every place?"
"certainly."
Shen Ning raised the corners of her lips: "No, there is one place you definitely didn't search."
Mo Chuan said without thinking: "I have personally searched every place, and I searched extremely carefully."
"Have you searched the box where the drawings are kept?"
"The box is clearly empty. The drawings were indeed placed in the box, but they are missing." Mo Chuan said.
He looked at Shen Ning looking at him with a half-smile, and suddenly realized.
"You mean, there's a mezzanine in that box?"
"I don't know if there is a mezzanine in the box. After all, I have never seen the box, but other than there, I can't think of any other place where the thief would put the blueprints, if you really searched all the places." Shen Ning said calmly.
Mo Chuan couldn't help but gasped: "So, it's really the Northern Qi envoy who is guarding theft? There is a mezzanine in the box. Only the Northern Qi envoy will know about it. He is the only one responsible for this matter!"
"No! This is just one of the possibilities. Mo Chuan, we are going to find the box now and see if the drawing is still in the box. Some things are just my speculation after all. Seeing is always believed." Shen Ning Said again.
Mo Chuan nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the Northern Qi Posthouse now."
Because the theft of the blueprints was so important, the post house was heavily guarded by Mo Chuan and the imperial guards, and not even a fly could fly in.
Not many people knew that the Northern Qi envoy came to Western Chu with the blueprints, and the theft of the blueprints was kept secret by Mo Chuan. Others only knew that the Northern Qi envoy had lost something very important, but no one knew what it was. Drawings of a five-gun crossbow.
The envoys of the Northern Qi Dynasty were put under house arrest in the post house and were not allowed to go out.
When he heard that the emperor and empress of Western Chu were coming, he didn't even raise his butt, let alone go out to greet them.
Mo Chuan and Shen Ning appeared at the door of the room. The Northern Qi envoy just raised his head and said coldly: "But the thief was caught?"
"No."
Mo Chuan shook his head, not angry at the rude words and actions of the Northern Qi envoy.
In fact, if such a thing happened, if it was not the Northern Qi envoy who was trying to steal something, his reaction would be perfectly normal.
If he and the Northern Qi envoy were in a different place, I'm afraid he would be as angry and angry as the envoy.
"So you found the blueprint?" the messenger said in a sarcastic tone.
His dissatisfaction spilled over into his words and he made no secret of it.
"nor."
Mo Chuan was still lifeless. He held Shen Ning's hand and walked into the room.
The Northern Qi envoy said in a sharp tone: "This matter has happened for several days. Your Majesty, as the king of a country, you can't even recover the thieves and stolen things. It's too much... Hehe, you are so incompetent!"
