Chapter 8 Conventions are meant to be broken

Seeing Wu Ling's complaining appearance, Wang Wujian was also a little embarrassed: "Isn't it good?" Do you want to come up with a name for yourself? ”

"Forget it, isn't it just a name? Wang Yuyan is Wang Yuyan! Fortunately, your cousin is not called Murong Fu! Otherwise, I'll have to go find Brother Duan! Let's go! I don't want to be out there for too long! ”

When Wu Ling saw Wu Rongji, his face had lost his usual cheerful expression, and was replaced by a look of grief: "Wang Zhutou, are you here?" ”

"Well, I still think that the death of Lord Wu is a little strange, so I want to take a look at ...... again"

Obviously, Wu Rongji didn't believe that his father was a person who would easily give up his life, he just nodded, and then walked to the inner mansion with Wang Wuji, and when he saw Wang Yuyan also follow, he noticed her: "This is ......"

"It's my cousin, I just arrived in Chang'an today, I didn't have time to send her back, so I brought her over! Let's go first! Knowing that Wu Rongji is Wu Ling's senior brother, and the relationship between the two is usually very good, even if Wu Ling changes back into his daughter's clothes, Wang Wujian will not let him pay too much attention to Wu Ling, and immediately diverts the topic: "Can you tell me about the situation at that time?" ”

At this time, Wu Rongji was still immersed in the pain of losing his father, so naturally he didn't pay too much attention to Wu Ling, but just said while leading the way in front: "The night before I found out that my father had an accident, my father didn't go back to the room to rest, and he didn't let the servants pass a message to my mother and other aunts. The next morning at breakfast, my father did not show up, and we were a little anxious, so we sent people to search for him everywhere in the house, and finally found him in a small room next to the study, when he was ......."

"What is that hut for?" Wu Ling suddenly asked: "My lord is a historian, he likes to read, it is normal to stay in the study, what is he going to do in that hut?" ”

After seeing Wu Rongji's puzzled expression, Wang Wujian hurriedly said, "This is also what I want to ask!" "The on-site investigation was not Wang Wujian who came, and after listening to the report, he called Wu Ling to come here together.

After hearing Wang Wujian say the same, Wu Rongji said: "That hut usually stores some books and historical materials, and there are also some records that my father usually makes, but they are all materials that are not commonly used, and few people go there. Because there are some historical materials that need to be kept secret, the hut can be locked from the inside to prevent anyone from breaking in. Everyone in our family knew that it was a forbidden area, and they couldn't enter without instructions, and the door of the hut was closed, so everyone didn't think of it, and finally someone found that there were footprints on the stairs, so they suggested opening the hut to see. The door to the hut was locked from the inside, but the key was Daddy's...... Next to the corpse. ”

After hearing this, Wang Wujian frowned slightly: "Is there any other exit to the hut?" ”

Wu Rongji shook his head: "No! The windows were all closed from the inside, and as few people came in to the hut, the ash on the windowsills remained, indicating that no one had touched the windows. ”

"It's another secret room murder!" Wu Ling looked up at Wang Wuji: "I feel that you are really related to this secret room murder incident!" ”

Wang Wujian was also a little helpless, so he could only continue to ask Wu Rongji: "Is there anything different about Lord Wu recently?" ”

Wu Rongji shook his head after thinking about it: "It's still about the same as usual!" A while ago, the killing of Historian Wang made his mood a little uncomfortable. But after so many days, he is fine, and according to our usual instructions, take more guards when we go out, and try to stay at home if there is nothing to do, but I didn't expect ......"

"People can't be resurrected after death, Wu Gongzi should calm down and think about Ling Zun's recent situation, so that it will be convenient for my cousin to investigate. I believe that Wu Gongzi doesn't want Ling Zun to die so unclearly, right? Wu Ling sighed lightly, she also felt very distressed when she saw this senior brother who had abandoned her vitality in the academy become like this, but now her identity was that she couldn't come forward to comfort him properly.

Wu Rongji calmed down a little before leading everyone to the hut they were talking about, at this time, the lock of the hut had been broken when someone forcibly broke in, look at this hut, there are three rows of bookshelves side by side, and there are also two rows of bookshelves against the wall, on which all kinds of materials and books are placed.

Wu Rongji pointed to a mark on the ground and said, "That's where they found my father!" He fell to the ground, the blood on his body had dried up, and the key to his room was beside him. ”

Wu Ling stood here and glanced at the door, his eyes were full of bookshelves, and he didn't find anything, that is to say, if he stayed here, he would not be murdered from the door. The key is by his side again, and the door is locked from the inside, and it is said that he locked the door himself? But what about the motive for suicide? Wu Rongji has said just now that although he has been affected before, but now that his emotions have recovered, it should not constitute a motive for suicide! Or is it really because the historians were killed one after another, so they were scared?

Thinking of this, Wu Ling looked at the bookshelf, reached out and picked up a book and flipped it, but after only two pages, she found that something was wrong, and when she turned the book to that page, she sneered: "It seems that Master Shi's death is really a little strange!" ”

Wang Wujian hurriedly came over when he heard Wu Ling's words, and looked at the page in her hand that had obviously just been torn off: "What is this?" ”

"I don't understand the specifics, but it should be a way of writing for historians, right? In layman's terms, this font is called Shi Cao, and people who are not historians cannot learn it! Wu Ling handed the book to Wu Rongji: "Can you understand this?" ”

Wu Rongji looked at the content of the book and hesitated: "I'm sorry, I can't tell you the content here, this is the obligation of being a historian, and you must not make any evaluation of the history of other historians!" I'm not a historian yet, but that's what I have to abide by! ”

"If you don't say it, maybe your dad will really be treated as a suicide, and that doesn't matter?" Wu Ling looked at Wu Rongji with some displeasure, why didn't he find out that he was such a rigid guy before?

Wu Rongji hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head: "I'm sorry, even if it involves a father's hatred, I can't break the agreement of the historians!" A promise is an agreement, and it's meant to be kept! ”

"Cut, we usually say, conventions are used to break!" After speaking, Wu Ling glanced at Wang Wuji. Wang Wujian stretched out his hand to Wu Rongji: "Okay, I won't force you, but this book, I want to take it back to Chang'an Mansion as evidence first, is it okay?" ”

Wu Rongji didn't care about this, he happily handed the book to Wang Wuji: "My father's business, please leave it to Lord Wang!" ”

"Wouldn't it be too much to ask others if you don't work hard?" Wu Ling muttered softly on the side, and walked out by herself, this study may be too stuffy because the doors and windows are closed, even she can't stand it! However, when she walked to the door, she noticed a strange phenomenon: "Why is this door so high from the threshold?" ”

In ordinary indoor rooms, the door and the threshold are just seamed, but here there is a gap about four or five centimeters high, which is really a little strange.

Wu Rongji glanced at it and said: "Because the doors and windows of this room are closed all year round, there will be such a gap for ventilation, otherwise if the air in the house is not circulated, the books inside will be moldy!" ”

"I see!" Wu Ling squatted on the ground and looked back at the location of the corpse, and found that she still couldn't see the corpse because of the bookshelves. It seems unlikely that the murderer would want to use this crack in the door to kill someone. So, what method is used? The most important thing is that the key to the door is still with the corpse, if he kills it, why do he deliberately want to return the key? If the key is already on the body, it usually hangs in the purse around the waist and falls to the ground, so it will not fall out of the purse.

After reading these, Wu Ling turned his head to Wang Wujian and said, "Cousin, have you finished reading?" ”

Wang Wujian checked the room again before nodding and saying, "Well, it's okay, I'll send you home first!" ”

After leaving the Wu family, Wang Wujian asked Wu Ling, "How is it?" What did you find? ”
