Chapter 11: Inheritance
The three of them came to the director's office.
"In order to promote Chinese culture, we plan to exhibit the four treasures of the study room and ancient musical instruments, calligraphy and paintings. The pen, ink and paper are all bought from outside, and only the inkstone is an antique. The father-in-law means to let the students see the ancient inkstone of the Liu family that has been handed down to this day. ”
Mrs. Liu said with a straight look.
"This is the showcase used to exhibit the four treasures of the study?" Wu Ning looked at the display cabinet in front of him.
The height of the display cabinet is about 1.8 meters, the upper part is a transparent tempered glass cover, and the lower part is the four legs used to support.
The whole adopts seamless welding technology, which is solid and beautiful. From the looks alone, it is difficult to break through with violence in a short period of time.
"Yes."
"When did the ancient inkstone disappear, before or after putting it in?"
Mrs. Liu has always been vigorous and resolute from her appearance to the present, and she hesitated for the first time when she heard this: "Before, before? ”
Wu Ning looked sideways at her, and heard the uncertainty in her tone.
"Well, I can't be sure. At that time, the person in charge of placing the four treasures of the study room was Feng Zhen, and I personally handed over the ancient inkstone to her backstage. After a few minutes, she said that Gu Yan was gone. ”
Wu Ning pondered, so she insisted that Feng Zhen was a suspect?
"Only a few minutes, are you sure?"
Mrs. Liu nodded reluctantly, as if she didn't want to speak for Feng Zhen: "It's really only a few minutes, I answered a phone call at the time, the call lasted 1 minute and 57 seconds, and just hung up the phone for a while, Feng Zhen shouted that Gu Yan was gone." ”
"Isn't there any surveillance in the exhibition area?"
Mrs. Liu shook her head: "There is an exhibition area, but there is no backstage." Occasionally, someone changes clothes backstage, and the pretending monitoring is not appropriate. ”
"Did you search her?"
Wu Ning thought of Jiang Xia's previous words, and subconsciously asked.
Mrs. Liu bit her lip, not quite wanting to answer.
After a pause, he stubbornly said: "She is the last person to handle it, and I can't tell why Gu Yan is missing, and a body search is the best way to prove her innocence." ”
This should be the pull that Jiang Xia saw.
"Mrs. Liu, I heard that you have a lot of opinions about Feng Zhen, since you don't like her, why do you want her to be in charge of such an important item?" Wu Ning hit the nail on the head.
Mrs. Liu was obviously stabbed, and her expression management was completely out of control:
"Public is public and private is private, you are insulting my personality! I've asked you to come looking for something, not to inquire about my privacy, and if you can't do even the most basic respect, you'd better close the door as soon as possible. ”
Wu Ning didn't expect such a big reaction from the other party, it seemed that she and Feng Zhen were not simply colleagues.
Seeing that she had made up her mind and refused to say more, Wu Ning swallowed her questions about Liu Yiling, maybe she should go to her house to have a look?
Wu Jiuzheng was holding Wu Heishan and looking at the display case, and when he saw that Wu Ning was reprimanded and couldn't speak, he said unceremoniously:
"Don't say this and don't say that, when we are roundworms in your stomach? Didn't you suspect Feng Zhen and call her over. ”
Probably because Wu Jiu's aura was too strong, Mrs. Liu's temper was a little more restrained, but she was still not angry:
"What's the use of calling her here, the people I invited before checked her to the bottom, but I still didn't find anything."
Wu Ning was very surprised that the boss actually helped him out, and seeing that Mrs. Liu's emotions eased up, adhering to the principle that the customer is God, she planned to open her mouth to apologize.
", if the person I invited before found out, why would they still ask us for a meal?"
Wu Jiu's knife mouth skill is upgraded.
Mrs. Liu's face turned from white to blue, from blue to black, and she wanted to scold, but her good upbringing made her unable to scold.
“…… She took a leave of absence and was not at school. Address at ......"
"There's no hurry." Wu Ning interrupted, "Before looking for Feng Zhen, I want to go to your house first. ”
"To my house?" Mrs. Liu looked stunned.
……
Whether she wanted it or not, half an hour later, the three of them and one dog arrived at their destination.
Mrs. Liu's family lives in Jinghai Sky City, which is a suburb but faces the sea, so the housing price is expensive.
When I came to Liu's house, it was an ordinary three-bedroom living room, with a large area of nearly 200 square meters.
Liu Yize is in college, and although he is in the city, he usually lives on campus and has moved out. There are Mrs. Liu and Liu Yiling's mother and daughter living in the house.
Just looking at the living room is not much different from an ordinary house, but the room of the two children that Wu Ning wants to see the most is an eye-opener for him.
Two bedrooms, very different in style.
Liu Yize's room is antique, the furniture is carved wood, and there is a guzheng in the bedroom of a 19-year-old boy.
There is no computer on the desk, but pen, ink, paper, inkstone and a mahogany tea tray, pen washing paperweight are all available, to say that this is an old man's room, Wu Ning feels more acceptable.
As for Liu Yiling's bedroom, it is a completely different style.
A typical pink princess style, a piano facing the bedroom door exudes the atmosphere of a local tyrant, and there is a separate cloakroom in the bedroom.
My sister's bedroom is much messier than my brother's, with soft pillows of different sizes pillows pillows on the bed, and cartoon animal dolls, dogs, cats, and so on.
Posters of popular stars are plastered on the walls, and a pair of ballet shoes are scattered on the pink carpet at the end of the bed.
Poverty limited Wu Ning's imagination, and he had only seen two such rooms on TV.
After reading it, Wu Ning had a somewhat intuitive feeling for Mrs. Liu's two children, and some of the personality traits could be seen from one person's bedroom.
Liu Yize is undoubtedly rigid, rigorous, and an orderly person.
Liu Yiling, on the other hand, is free, lively, or a little willful.
"Mrs. Liu, please take me to the place where the ancient inkstone was stored before." Wu Ning said politely.
Mrs. Liu was extremely dissatisfied with Wu Ning's actions, but first, Wu Jiu stared at it with fierce eyes, and secondly, she did ask for help. Hearing Wu Jiu's words, he said with a straight face: "Follow me." ”
The three of them came to Mrs. Liu's bedroom, which was also very magnificent, but compared to the two children, it was a little ordinary.
She pointed to an open safe in front of her desk: "Half a month ago, I took the inkstone from here and brought it to the school celebration exhibition, but I don't understand. ”
Mrs. Liu said politely, "Why do you insist on coming to see an empty safe, and the things are not lost here, I think you are wasting my time." ”
Wu Ning forced himself not to refute her accusations, and stared at the cylindrical glass cover in the safe, which was now only a tray wrapped in red satin.
Wu Jiu touched the dog's head of the black mountain and glanced at her, and said lazily: "Everything has qi, and your vulgar eyes can't see it, just because others can't see it." ”
Mrs. Liu's face changed color again, and she wanted to reprimand him for being ridiculous, but she couldn't help it.
She doesn't believe in any feng shui hexagrams, but ordinary methods have already been tried, maybe these two strange people in front of her will bring her a turnaround?
For example, she couldn't explain why she walked into the little broken shop.
Wu Ning thought that he was also a pair of vulgar eyes, because he also didn't find it in the safe.
But this does not prevent his inner excitement, the boss is speaking for him.
Looking at the safe, he looked around.
Mrs. Liu's house was neat and tidy like an obsessive-compulsive person, there weren't too many bottles and cans on the dresser, and it was clear that she wasn't an outward person.
The most occupying space in the bedroom is not the bed, but a tall bookshelf, and most of the books on the shelves are educational books or textbooks.
Occasionally, there are a few books on life such as raising flowers and cooking, but they are obviously not taken seriously, and they are still dusty in the most difficult places to hold.
Wu Ning's gaze swept around, and the photo frame was fixed in the right grid of the bookshelf.
