Chapter 685: Swords into Plowshares 5
The video continues.
After hearing what Dahao said, Yunli admitted, "That's right."
Dahao: "The Dihengsi inspected the arsenal where Gu Yun was stored, and found no signs of damage to the doors and windows. Except for the air vents that were no wider than the length of the tree, there was no passage for thieves to enter or exit."
Hearing this, Ah Xing thought to herself, "If San Yue Qi were here, she would definitely be able to help us point out who the thief is with her jinx..."
Starry Sky Railway March 7: "No, who are you calling a jinx? I'm a genius prophet!"
Star Dome Railway Pioneer Axing: "Do you believe what you said?"
Genshin Impact Traveler Ying: "Who cares if he believes it or not? When you go out, you give yourself an identity."
The video continues.
Dahao: "The sword box containing Gu Yun was opened, and the sword disappeared, but the other swords in the same room were safe and sound, which means -"
Ah Xing: "The suspect recognized the sword box and the sword."
Yun Li: "I do have a sword box, and I recognize this magic sword."
Dahao: "That's right. The suspect had a strong purpose and stole Guyun. In other words, apart from you who were involved in the document incident, only people related to the delegation had the opportunity to touch this sword."
At this time, Ah Xing wondered if it was possible that the envoy stole it, and Da Hao asked back, "Well... if they wanted to steal it, why did the envoy return the sword to Xianzhou?"
Ah Xing: "The delegation consists of more than one person."
Dahao: "What you said makes sense. The situation at that time was that the delegation, led by that pure and beautiful knight, delivered the building to the Ministry of Works. The craftsmen in charge of the handover testified that they did not take any items from the arsenal."
Ah Xing: "Is it possible that Yinzhi stole the sword?"
Dahao: "Silver Branch? That pure and beautiful knight... He and the members of the delegation handed the sword over to the Ministry of Works. As an aside, you may not know that it was this knight who recognized the origin of the sword after arriving in Kalevala and escorted it all the way to the Fairy Boat. In other words, it was he who made the sword return home.
Just like the envoys, if he wanted to steal the sword, why did he have to steal it after sending it to Luofu?"
Ah Xing: "Is it possible that the craftsman stole the sword?"
Dahao shook his head and said, "Master Gongshu checked the duty records and asked all the craftsmen and apprentices on duty to come to me for questioning. There is no suspicious person."
When asked this question, Ah Xing's old habit came back and he said directly: "Is it possible that I stole the sword?"
Dahao: "Did you... steal it?"
"I didn't steal it!"
"Then don't make trouble!"
Honkai Impact 3rd Kiana: "Hahahahahaha, Axing is operating completely normally."
Starry Sky Railway Silver Branch: "But in the video, my best friend probably didn't know that I took the sword. I didn't expect that my best friend would think of me right away. We really have a telepathic connection!"
Mingchao Drifter: "Is this how telepathy is used?"
The video continues.
At this time, Huai Yan said: "I can prove that after she left the Industrial Manufacturing Division, she came to me and there is no suspicion of stealing the sword."
Dahao: "To put it simply, not all people who have seen the sword have been to the Gongzao Division, and not all people who want the sword have seen it... After eliminating all of these, Miss Yunli is the only suspect left."
After listening to what Dahao said, Yunli agreed and said, "That makes sense."
"So……"
"I didn't steal the sword." Yun Li answered without hesitation.
Dahao: "Well, after eliminating all possibilities, only one possibility remains, then it must be the truth."
Ah Xing: "No, these are not all the possibilities."
Dahao: "If you want to refute me, you have to produce decent evidence."
Thinking of this, Ah Xing decided to ask people around him and investigate some relevant information.
Ah Xing first found Yun Li, General Huai Yan, Master Gong Shu, and Pavol, and learned about Gu Yun's past from Pavol. Then, Ah Xing came to the sword box, which was used to seal Gu Yun. It looked very beautiful. Was this the reason why he was targeted?
In any case, as one of the only physical evidences left at the scene, there might be traces of theft. Ah Xing carefully observed the sword box. The outer shell of the sword box was inlaid with metal wires with exquisite skills, outlining the lotus pattern, which hinted at the origin of the sword box: Zhu Ming Xianzhou.
The locking mechanism hidden in the box is intact, with no signs of being pried or damaged by external force.
Ah Xing: "(That is to say... the thief took the sword from the box without picking the lock?)"
Ah Xing opened the sword box and noticed that there seemed to be a few spots of red scattered on the bottom of the shell. It was hard to ignore it - it was as if it was deliberately announcing its existence to those who were checking the inner shell.
Then, Ah Xing took out the red color at the bottom of the inner shell, which was a few petals that were about to wither, or to be exact, rose petals.
Ah Xing: "Why did this petal appear in the box...?"
Ah Xing closed the sword case and put it back where it belonged.
After collecting all the clues, Ah Xing found Dahao, who said, "If you find any clues, tell us in front of everyone."
Ah Xing: "Yun Li didn't steal the sword, I am absolutely sure."
After hearing what Ah Xing said, Yun Li said, "Thank you, although I am not sure I can convince Mr. Dahao..."
Dahao: "Completely sure? Okay, then I'll repeat my reasoning process. If there's anything wrong, you can interrupt me at any time."
Space Wanderer Gao Xuan: "Oh, now the debate will begin. What will the pioneers say?"
Zero Phaethonzhe: "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be a normal debate, but if something unexpected happens, it should be the daily madness of the pioneers."
Star Dome Railway Himeko: "That sounds reasonable."
Kafka of Star Railway: "I also want to see how my treasure debates."
The video continues.
Dahao: "From the beginning to the end, there was only one suspect of the uninvited guest who broke into the Industrial and Manufacturing Company, and that was Miss Yunli. Miss Yunli wanted to take Gu Yun away and make a scene at the Industrial and Manufacturing Company, but was stopped by you on the way.
After saying goodbye to you, she pretended to leave, but actually broke into the armory alone and stole the precious sword Gu Yun. From beginning to end, there was only one suspect who broke into the Industrial Manufacturing Division, and that was Miss Yunli. "
Ah Xing: "Your statement is not very accurate. Yinzhi, I and the members of the delegation have also been to the Industrial and Manufacturing Department."
Dahao: "You are right, but they left after delivering the sword. The craftsman in charge of the handover proved that they could not have left with the sword. We have also investigated. Before Gu Yun handed over the sword, the mechanical bird at the entrance of the Craftsmanship Department took a picture of you leaving... but there is no record of Miss Yunli leaving."
After hearing this, Yun Li said embarrassedly: "How can I dare to go out through the main gate after I smashed the golden man?"
Dahao: "Ms. Yunli wanted to take Guyun away and came to the Industrial Manufacturing Department to make a scene, but you stopped her on the way."
Ah Xing thought to himself: "It seems that what Dahao said is correct..." Then he said: "Yes, at least at that time, Yunli did not steal the sword. We went to the Jinren warehouse."
Dahao: "If your testimony is credible - I don't mean anything else, after all, every piece of evidence should be examined."
At this time, Ah Xing thought of something and said, "After Yunli and I parted ways, I sent a message to Master Gongshu. A long time later, Master Gongshu said that the Gongzao Division had already inspected the sword. At least until that moment, Yunli was not a suspect."
Afterwards, Axing took out the evidence about Master Gongshu. Dahao was a little surprised after seeing this clue.
Dahao: "You also sent a message to Master Gongshu? I had no idea! Well, this is evidence. However, it only proves that the sword had not been stolen at that time.
There are no other suspects in this case, and we have not found any other evidence.”
Ah Xing: "You seem to have missed some key evidence."
Dahao: "There is no sign that the entire armory has been opened. If there is any evidence, it is only the sword case."
Ah Xing: "The fact that there were no signs of prying is itself suspicious evidence. I carefully observed the lock of the sword case and it showed no signs of being pried or damaged by force."
Dahao: “What does this mean?”
Ah Xing: "Whether the sword box was locked at the beginning, only the people from the Crafts Department who delivered the sword know this best. In addition, I found something else in the box."
Then, Ah Xing took out a rose petal and said, "I found this in the crack at the bottom of the sword case."
Dahao: "Rose... petals? Uh... I was probably careless during the search. How did this thing end up in the sword case?"
Ah Xing: "I don't know, but I know that the pure and beautiful knight who escorted the sword always left a trail of rose petals that were difficult to clean up wherever he walked."
Silver Branch of Star Dome Railway: "Oh my dear friend! The plot of the whole case has finally shifted to me! This is really an honor!"
Star Railway Portio: "He got a treasure, why are you so happy, Yinzhi?"
Silver Branch of Starry Sky Railway: "After all, this is my experience of practicing the pure beauty journey! Seeing that my best friend will not doubt me because of personal feelings is an affirmation of my purity!"
Genshin Impact Eula: "I've always been curious, are all pure and beautiful knights like you?"
The video continues.
After the debate, Dahao touched his head and said, "...My mind is a mess, let me think about it - the sword box is not locked, obviously only the person who sent Jian here can do it; and the rose petals were left by the pure knight.
But how did he get to know the craftsman? Why did he steal the sword after returning it? And why did he leave the petal in the box?
Ah Xing: "How should I know this?"
Yun Li: "I know. The Lone Cloud Sword escaped from the sword case by itself. What the Pure Knight did was just to open the lock and help it escape."
Pavol couldn't believe it when he heard it: "Don't be ridiculous, how could the sword escape by itself?"
After hearing this, Yun Li put her hands on her hips and said, "Why, have you never seen a flying sword?"
