Edo Traveler

v5 Chapter 14: When you go in, the small one comes out

Although the suspect is now generally designated as the hawker selling clams, the modus operandi has not been inferred. This is also a very important part in the process of solving the case.

   At that time, there was a maid guarding the altar table, and according to the maid, she changed the candle to the altar after two o'clock before daring to quietly squint for a while. If the thief had the courage to rush into the hall of the vassal mansion where there was a vigil to grab two golden bottles in broad daylight, then this person would not need to be a hawker.

   You have this ability. Isn't it better to be a man of great ambition than this?

   In the future, I can still use textbooks and be a hero!

   So the golden bottle must have been stolen, so how do you take away two golden bottles that add up to about three to four catties? We have tried it with octopus, it is almost impossible. There are both candlesticks and tributes on the altar table. If it is not overturned, the loud noise will surely awaken the vigil maid.

   It is necessary to fetch things from the air, and it has to be silent. The difficulty here is really not small!

   Tademon describes the case and Sukeru takes out a bottle of wine at home. The neck is wide and slender. The neck is almost ten centimeters long. According to the description, it is shaped like the stolen gin bottle. Is there any way to hold him in the air and lift him up to the roof without making a sound?

   Kinmaru Yoshizo sitting below asked if it is possible to use a bamboo stick to penetrate the bottle mouth, and then to lift it into the bottle. The stick can be jammed by force, and the bottle can be lifted directly.

   Very good idea! Good idea! Bamboo poles more than four meters long are easy to find, and the clothes poles at home can be used directly. Short wooden sticks and bundled strings are also available everywhere. Don't go to the room anymore, just separated by four meters, using a bamboo pole to pick up the wooden stick and plug it into the bottle.

   But when I first started, there was a problem!

   Did you tie the string to one end of the stick or in the middle? It is easy to put it in the bottle mouth if it is tied at one end, and it can be put directly into the bottle without any obstruction as long as it is slightly corrected at the top.

and then? You mentioned, how did the wooden stick get in, then how did it come out again, there is no meaning to jam the neck of the wine bottle at all. I tried back and forth several times, but all ended in failure. It's the same even if you change Chuemon to come up. Your stick is tied to one end, and it's straight up as long as you lift it up. It's useless at all.

   Or just tie the rope to the middle of the stick, which is not bad, but getting into the bottle mouth becomes a big problem. Regardless of that the wine bottle is a so-called wide-mouth bottle, in fact, the rim of the mouth looks large, and it quickly narrows. With the wooden stick tied in the middle, it is extremely difficult to get into the bottle, let alone lift the bottle.

   Although after repeated attempts, the wine bottle that I finally entered was indeed lifted up, but after trying dozens of times, it took more than 20 minutes.

  Good fellow, only the thief who feels sleepy on the way to be a thief, and sleeps directly at someone else’s house, will have this kind of mental quality. In front of others, I tried and made mistakes there for ten or twenty minutes.

   Still the same sentence, if you have this mental quality, it would be better for you to be an aspirant!

   Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that people practice at home for more than a year, and that practice makes perfect. But this possibility has actually been ruled out, because it is a shameful thing. Either practice secretly at home, or go out of the city to practice secretly in a place where there is no one in the wild.

   To say something awkward, relying on the longhouse group rented house he lived in, the room allocated to him was absolutely no more than four meters in length and width. Crowded in a group rented house, still want to practice this stuff? That is pure joke.

   So there is no need to do anything. Unless the person goes out and out of the city for more than ten hours every day, and finds a place off the beaten track to practice, this probability is zero. Doesn't he need to sleep, eat and rest every day? There are no uninhabited wild forests in the entire Edo neighborhood. The woods were cut down long ago, and they served as fuel for the people of Edo.

   Now the firewood of the Chuemon and Sukeruchi family was sent by Musashi Hachioji. After the Warring States period, Uesugi Kenshin would have to send troops to fight for several days!

   "Is there any other way to arouse the bottle?" Chuemon put down the bottle and motioned for everyone to continue making suggestions.

   "Is there anything that is small before you go in, but becomes bigger after you go in?" Shuroku looked at the wine bottle, thoughtfully.

   His intention is straightforward, do something and stuff it into a wine bottle when he was young. When he enters the wine bottle, he will enlarge it, and when it is enlarged, he can jam the slender bottleneck and lift the bottle up.

   "I don't know, I don't know..." The group of people below shook their heads.

   "You can blow the ball!" It was the old man Kimmaru Yoshisho who had another idea.

   "Blow the ball?" Tadaoemon and Sukeruchi said in unison.

   The current Tokugawa Ikei is not too much trouble, but when Tokugawa Ikeki was young, he went to Kanto for eagle hunting almost every year. How about he is in good health and can give birth to dozens of children. This person is extremely energetic and great.

   And what is the business of our iron brothers, the Jinmaru family in the Tokugawa family? Blow the trumpet, bah, it's the snails!

   If you don’t have enough breath~lightnovelpub.net~ You can’t blow this thing loud and long at all. In the days when Jinmaru Yoshizhuang was serving the public, he was called every year to blow the snails. This is his ability to eat, and he never left behind.

   That is to say, Tokugawa Jiaqing has no money to engage in eagle hunting year after year, so Yoshiki Kanemaru and Sukeruku have lost their ability to play snails.

   Not to mention that Kanemaru Yoshizhuang saw the Tokugawa clan playing cuju for fun, and even was ordered to help the Tokugawa clan blow the ball because of his gas.

   "You mean to make a small skin bag, put it in a wine bottle, and then blow it up to lift the bottle!" Chuemon's eyes lit up, this method is really interesting.

   "How can there be such a small skin, the fish bladder is similar." Zhu Liu waved his hand.

Yup!

   That kid hangs around at the Nihonbashi Fish Market every day, and it's just a sentence to get two swim bladders. Just look for the maws of a few large sea fish, pick two intact and save them. When the time comes, the bamboo poles will be tied one by one, and the inside of the bamboo poles will get through.

   With the breath he sells, it should be possible to pass through the four-meter-long bamboo pole, send air into the fish bladder, and finally blow up the fish bladder to set up the golden bottle.

   is really a way. Probably!

   "Isn't it right..." Chuemon was still thinking about this possibility, so Sukeruk suddenly denied his idea.

  Because the maws are long, not spherical, it only takes a few breaths to blow him up. But this also means that the inside of the swim bladder is just two breaths, and after a few seconds of unevenness, it starts to collapse. If this is deflated, the golden bottle in mid-air is about to hit the ground.
