Chapter 211: Inquiry
"We're all asleep at that time! But the night of September 12 was a bit special, something happened on the construction site, and everyone except Zhou Liu went to deal with it, and they didn't come back together until they were almost ugly. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info," Zhao Xi said.
"What's wrong? To labor so many of you? I asked curiously.
"What else can happen," Zhao Xi said as if he didn't care about him, "those workers have an opinion about the recent food, and they have found a few people to negotiate with us." ”
"Oh?" I was surprised, "I heard that most of those people were prisoners, didn't they?" Is there still a chance to make such an observation? ”
In times like these, it's amazing that there can be some democracy on such an occasion!
"Ahem," Zhao Xi's face showed a look of disapproval, and said, "It's not that Lord Zhang is kind and often gives them some accommodation and consultation, so they are used to getting used to more and more things......"
I see. This is quite in line with our impression of Master Zhang Han.
"Is that something like this that Zhou Liu never involved in?" I asked again.
Zhao Xi shook his head and said: "His main responsibility is to manage this room where the materials are stored, and he lives alone in this outer room at night, and he doesn't have any interaction with the workers. ”
"I'm sorry, but we want to go into this file room and have a look, can we?" I asked tentatively.
"Absolutely! Master Zhang has already instructed you to meet your requirements as much as possible. Childe, wait a minute! Zhao Xi was quite refreshed, turned around and went out of the house, and after a while, brought another of his colleagues, and each of them took out a key, inserted it through the holes on the left and right sides of the lock, and then opened the lock.
As soon as the door opened, there was a dark and damp smell like a basement, and the two of them went in first to light the candles around us, and then we walked in.
Sure enough, there was not even a single window in the house, and the only entrance and exit was this double lock door.
"Before Zhou Liu died, did you also use a pun lock on this door?" I asked.
Zhao Xi shook his head and said, "No, because of this incident, the adults asked us to replace it." ”
"Can we take a look at Zhou Liu's personnel files?" I say.
"No problem!" Zhao Xi went to the side of the shelf to flip through it, took out a volume of books and walked out, I opened it to take a look, from the year of birth, the place of birth, to the family composition and employment history, which recorded the basic situation of Zhou Liu in great detail.
"Does everyone here have such a detailed account?" I was surprised.
Zhao Xi nodded and said, "Basically, Lord Zhang is still more concerned about this. There are so many people in this place that even our work has changed many times, and if there is no unified record, it will be too difficult to manage. ”
"I heard Master Zhang mention that there are some plans for the fortifications or something, where are they stored?" Since they're so cooperative, I don't need to beat around the bush.
"Here!" He pointed to a bamboo-woven box by the wall.
I looked closely, and the box was also locked, so I asked, "Can I see the contents here?" ”
"This ......" involves top secrets, and Zhao Xi finally hesitated and looked at his colleague.
"Don't worry, I just need to take out one and take a look, I won't read it all." I laughed.
"In that case...... Should...... Is that okay? The two exchanged a deliberative glance before stepping forward and unlocking the lock, which was still a pun.
I opened the box and found that there were not many bamboo slips inside, most of them were silk silk. Compared with bamboo slips, silk silk is much more expensive, so it is generally only used to record some very important things, or things that require a very large amount of space to record - such as design drawings.
I picked up a silk silk at random, walked to Sang Qing and the others, and the four of them observed together.
Actually, we don't pay attention to the content in it, and ask to see this, but I am concerned about another question: "Is there a way to reproduce this kind of thing in a short period of time?" ”
Yue Bi took the silk silk, looked at the front, then looked at the back, and said: "I have heard of a method, whether it is silk silk or bamboo slips, as long as it is written in ink, it can be slightly fumigated with hot water vapor, and then gently attached to the light silk material, and the content on it can be rubbed down." But this one has clearly not been treated that way. ”
"How so?" I asked.
"If the handwriting is covered with moisture, even if it is only for a short time, the text will be more or less blurred, and if it is like this silk, it is even more likely to be reprinted on the back. But you see......" He turned the silk silk over and showed us, although the text was impregnated to the back, but there was not a trace of blurring, and the amount was not large, but it looked like it was left naturally at the time of writing.
I nodded. Asked this, in fact, the whole picture of the incident is almost clear, and there is not even much need to verify them one by one, with Lord Zhang's attention to this matter, someone must have already checked it, and there is no chance that there will be anything wrong with the things on the surface.
Zhou Liu, a small official who lives in a simple place and hardly interacts with other people, is really difficult to convince to say that he was killed by a vendetta, and his belongings have not been taken away, which means that it is not for money. If it weren't for his special duties as a file manager, he would have died of illness.
But looking at the records on his file, he was only 22 years old, what sudden illness could make such a young man die so suddenly?
I hesitated and hesitated.
As a result, Qin Qi said something for me that I wanted to say but was a little difficult to say: "Can we take a look at Zhou Liu's corpse?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the two little officials on the opposite side were shocked, and their faces showed very complicated expressions.
"What? Could it be that his body has been ...... Got disposed of? "I immediately thought of the Soul Devouring Tree I had seen in the belly of the mountain, and Zhou Liu's corpse wouldn't have been wiped out like that.
"That's not true, Zhou Liu is a public official after all, and it is inconvenient for us to deal with it, so we have already notified his family to collect it, and now it is temporarily placed in the cave......" Zhao Xi said, looking a little uneasy.
"How's that ......?" I thought was a little strange.
"After all, it's been so long, I guess it's ...... now I can't bear to see it, and besides, I heard that the ghost of this person who died will not disperse for a long time, and if you touch it without permission, I am afraid that you will have to take a big risk......" Zhao Xi continued.
Hearing him say this, not only was I not afraid, but I smiled, turned around and asked Qin Qi, "Hear it, aren't you afraid?" ”
He blinked slyly and said, "You should ask Sang Qing first." ”
I looked at Sang Qing again, but saw that she just glanced at me, and said lightly: "If you want to go, hurry up." (To be continued.) )
