Taking advantage of the night, Chino flew out of Danyu City with his mental power and came to an uninhabited forest, where he opened up an independent space.

He put the soot that Solandale had brought back on the test bench, looked up and said, "Zero, analyze what this soot was before it was scorched. ”

"Okay, please wait." Zero's voice sounded, and the laboratory was sealed in a transparent mask, and the analysis rays swept back and forth on the soot, and various data appeared on the screen at the top.

A few minutes later, Zero replied to Chino: "According to the hydrocarbon content and trace element analysis, there is a large amount of wood fiber and wood parenchyma in the soot ash before charring, and it is speculated that it is a certain wood material after comparing the biobank data." ”

"Wood materials? Chino's eyes deepened and deepened, and he asked in a deep voice, "Is it possible that there are other plants?" Like wheat? ”

Soon, a big cross lit up on the screen, and the voice of Zero was also heard: "According to the analysis of the element proportion, the probability is 0." ”

The granary is a fireproof place, the building materials are all stone or metal, the shelves and office appliances in the silo are also prohibited, any wooden materials are forbidden, and this kind of thing is normally impossible to appear in the granary.

At this moment, all the information about the incident in Danyu City's mind kept flashing back to Qinuo's mind - the royal family ordered to plant blood essence grass instead, Danyu City Yang Fengyin violated, the Dragon Fire Festival suddenly had a south wind, the granary was bizarrely burned down by the desert fire, and the letter that said "Ah Bao is dead"...

If the previous clues are fragmented, I always feel that there is a missing link, which makes it difficult to guess the truth.

So now, after Zero's confirmation, these soot are all wood materials, the missing link has been filled, and all the clues have been connected in series!

On the night of the Dragon Fire Festival, the things in the granary that were burned by the desert fire were not grain at all, but bags of wooden items, and the biggest possibility was the sawdust that was similar to grain after bagging!

Chino couldn't help but sneer: "It's really kind, Gomer, Lin Gengsen, you all dare to do this kind of thing." ”

He didn't care about the soot anymore, and after going out, he collected the independent space and rushed back to the camp.

Solandelle had already finished taking a shower, changed into clean clothes, and was wearing a blanket on her shoulders and drinking the ginger soup that the chef had just made.

Seeing that Chino was back, Solandale hurriedly asked, "No, are those carbon ashes I gave you helpful?" If not, I... I can go on and look for other clues... The 24 hours we agreed to have not yet arrived..."

Chino stretched out his hand to signal to stop, then closed the curtain and said silently: "On the night of the fire on the Dragon Fire Festival, what was burned in the granary was not grain, but sawdust. ”

"Sawdust?!" This conclusion was so shocking that Solandale and Lorna were so stunned that they even forgot to ask Chino why he knew about it.

Solandale asked incredulously, "How could it be sawdust?!" And what about the grain in the granary? Where did you go?! ”

Chino shrugged: "What do you say?" ”

Lorna suddenly came to her senses, patted her head and said, "You mean, the officials of Danyu City deliberately replaced the grain in the granary with sawdust and burned them, lying to everyone that the grain was burned, but in fact they were greedy for it?!" ”

Chino nodded, and added: "In my opinion, the original idea of the officials of Danyu City is this-they don't want to uproot the wheat stalks, because it will offend the nobles who contracted the fields, so they secretly exchanged wood for grain, and planned a fire tragedy on the occasion of the Dragon Fire Festival, so as to embezzle the grain transported by the royal city. ”

"After these grains are in hand, they can sell them or mortgage them to the nobles in exchange for a huge sum of money, and then buy enough blood essence grass from the Far Eastern caravan and hand it over to the royal city."

"First of all, it can be made clear that there is no problem with the idea of planning, and it can create a win-win situation——"

"The nobles are happy, because the harvest of this season in the Danyu Plain has been preserved, and the initial investment has not been wasted."

"The Far Eastern caravan is happy, and it has exchanged a huge amount of working capital for the blood essence grass common in the country, which is a good business."

"The royal family is happy, because they got the blood essence grass they need, which can be used to make purified blood to control the beast plague."

"Of course the officials of Danyu City are also happy, they have paid their errands on time, and their promotion is only within reach."

"However, the officials of Danyu City missed one point, and that is the death of Bao, the most important link in their plan, Bao, who was responsible for connecting the trade between Dogurland and the Far Eastern Dynasty, has already died."

"As soon as Po died, the Blood Essence Grass could not be bought, and the whole plan fell apart. Originally, they still had a way, that is, to quickly implement the royal decree, uproot the wheat stalks, cultivate the blood essence grass, and use millions of tons of grain to make up for the resulting food shortage. ”

"But don't forget, the fire on the Dragon Fire Festival has happened, and in the people's cognition, the million tons of relief grain have already been burned, and the grain officials responsible for this have been beheaded."

"If they take out the grain at this time, won't they admit to the whole world that they are greedy for food? They can't do this at all, so they can only continue to bully the royal family and hide it from the people. ”

Solandelle's face turned white after hearing this, and her voice began to tremble: "You mean, the million tons of relief grain are actually in the city, and the officials of Danyu City deliberately did not take it out in order to cover up the crime of embezzlement of ink, and watched more than 6 million people in the city suffer from the disaster and starve to death?!" ”

Chino was noncommittal.

"Ridiculous," Solandel gritted her teeth, tears of anger falling down, "513 years after the founding of Doguland... Even in the darkest of times, such a ridiculous thing has never been heard! These officials in Danyu City are not dead, and the royal family has no face to explain to the people! ”

Lorna was also so angry that she said heavily: "Chino, you give the order, send troops to open the consul's mansion, and I will take the lead for you!" ”

Chino shook his head and said lightly: "Killing people now doesn't solve the problem." We know the truth, but there is no evidence, and the officials of Danyu City must have colluded well, and they will not admit their crimes to death. ”

"And, now the key point is where are the million tons of grain? If you can't find it, it's all in vain. If it can be found out and the evidence is available, the corrupt officials can be arrested and brought to justice, the people of Danyu City will have hope of living, and the decree of cultivating blood essence grass will be successfully implemented. ”

Lorna urged, "Just say it, what are you going to do?" How can we help you? ”

Chino has a pupil of divine vision, and theoretically can see anything in the mortal world, but it is a pity that the pupil of divine vision can only be turned on for 20 seconds a day, and now he doesn't know the specific location of the food, and blindly searching is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.

Chino thought for a long time, constructing plans in his mind, and after about ten minutes, he suddenly said, "Prince Lona. ”

Lorna's face turned red with embarrassment, rubbed her arms and said, "We are friends, don't call me Prince so seriously... It's weird..."

Chino reached out and put his arm around Lorna's shoulder and smiled mysteriously, "Aren't you trying to help me?" Next up is your home turf, Prince Lona. ”
