Wu Ling shook his head: "It should be his!" It's just the one he used before and then lost! After speaking, she put the two keys together and handed them to Wang Wuji: "Look at it!" ”

The two keys, one is brand new and unused, and the other is the one that Mrs. Wu keeps, and the other is polished and smooth, showing that it has been used for a long time: "Remember what Mrs. Wu said?" Master Wu lost the key some time ago, so he took a new key from Mrs. Wu! ”

Wang Wujian nodded: "So, this key beside Master Wu shouldn't be so old, the degree of wear and tear of this key shows that it has been used for at least several years, and it is definitely not a trace of a new key!" ”

Wu Ling nodded, looked at Wang Wujian and said, "The old key, the door locked from the inside, marbles, these clues add up, can you think of anything?" ”

Wang Xiang obviously heard about the marbles, and he frowned: "Holding the key with the thread, you can use the crack in the door to lock the lock, and after pulling the thread, you can remove the key, and because of the crack in the door, the key can be easily taken out, but the key is not a marble, how can I return the key to the corpse?" Moreover, there should be a key on Lord Wu, right? If so, why use the old key? ”

Wang Wujian paced slowly in the room, thought for a while, and then said, "Unless, what means is done to make the old key return to the corpse, and then lock the door with the new key!" That's right, so that the old key can roll like marbles next to the corpse! ”

"But why don't you just drop the new key next to the corpse and lock the door with the old one?" Wang Xiang looked at Wu Ling even more strangely.

Wu Ling said with a smile: "The room where the historian stores historical materials is very important, so the lock on the door is specially made, once the key is lost, without changing the structure of the lock, as long as a mechanism is dialed, the original key will not be able to open the lock, but the two keys look very similar from the outside, and people who are not very familiar with locks will not notice these details at all!" ”

Wang Wujian carefully observed the two keys again, and sure enough, he found some slight differences: "Really! How do you know these things? ”

"Because I'm a curious baby, I often go out to play, my mother has no choice, so she has to lock me in the house, and after a long time, I have more experience with locks! Later, I met a very famous locksmith, so I knew these things! After speaking, Wu Ling looked at Wang Wuji: "Wang Zhutou, you have roughly guessed the situation of the case, Lord Wu was murdered, I have already determined this for you, and the rest depends on yourself!" I said at the beginning that I would only help you solve the case, and you would have to investigate the rest of the matter yourself! ”

Wang Wujian was still a little confused: "But how do you turn the key into marbles and let it roll to the corpse?" "If this problem is not solved, this case is still not solved!

Wu Ling smiled and said, "That's why they got the key first!" One more hint to you, it's summer! And the room was very hot because the doors and windows were always closed! ”

"So what?" Wang Xiang was obviously not used to Wu Ling's way of guessing riddles, but after Wang Wujian thought about it, he suddenly smiled: "I see! You're talking about ice, right? ”

Wu Ling nodded with satisfaction: "It's worthy of the handsome guy I like, it's useless if people are just beautiful, and they must be very smart!" Serious work, serious thinking looks really handsome! Congratulations, you got it right! ”

Wang Wujian picked up the old key on the table: "Put it in the ice first, make it into a ball, kill someone, close the door, just roll the old key in the ice to the side of the corpse, because the room is stuffy, the ice will soon fall off, and the water will evaporate, and no one will find that the key is rolled to the side!" ”

Wu Ling held up a finger and asked, "One question, why didn't the murderer just put the key in the corpse's pocket, but used such a troublesome method to solve the problem of the key?" What is the purpose of leaving such a deliberate clue? ”

Wang Wujian was still happy to have unlocked the secret room murder method, but he didn't expect Wu Ling to suddenly ask such a question: "Huh? ”

"Another question, the murderers killed the historian directly before, this time, why did you deliberately make the illusion of suicide like this?" Wu Ling's next question made Wang Wujian calm down, and after thinking for a while, a cold smile appeared on his face, as if a snake was staring at a mouse crawling in front of him: "Playing games?" I'll make him regret doing it! After speaking, he looked at Wu Ling: "It's not for you to interfere in the rest of the matter!" In the future, I won't trouble you anymore! "If the murderer really turns into what Wu Ling said, it will be a very dangerous person, and he can't drag Wu Ling in anymore!

Wu Ling nodded: "I won't personally interfere in this matter anymore!" But if you still encounter any puzzles, you can come to the academy to find us, after all, you are still in charge of the case of the attack on the third brother, and there are some things that you still need to ask us about in person, don't you? ”

Wang Wujian smiled evilly: "Everyone else has sent me the challenge book, is it possible that I still have to find a helper to dare to go to the appointment?" ”

"Are you stupid? If you can do this to this extent, do you think the other person is a person? Do you want to be a hero and single-handedly take on a group of them, or do you want to be a fool and let a group of people beat you up? Wu Ling looked at Wang Wuji, although he knew that he was trying to protect himself, but such a risky thing was too nonsense, right?

The smile on Wang Wuji's face remained unchanged: "Don't worry, whether it's a heads-up or a group fight, it's the best thing for us to catch fast!" Chang'an Mansion is not a vegetarian! ”

Hearing that Wang Wujian didn't plan to rush forward stupidly alone, Wu Ling was finally relieved: "This is the best!" Then I don't care about you! I have to go back to the academy first! Otherwise, everyone will have to worry again! "Although everyone didn't say anything last time they came out, their worried eyes didn't escape Wu Ling's eyes, and now that the matter is settled, she naturally wants to go back to the academy as soon as possible.

Wang Wujian naturally knew that everyone was worried about Wu Ling, so he didn't say anything more, and after packing up her things, he sent her back to the academy. At the gate of the academy, Wang Wuqian looked at Wu Ling and said, "Since you have solved the matter of Master Wu, that Shi Cao ......"

"Master Wu is just one of the historians who were killed!" Wu Ling looked at Wang Wujian and said, "If you want to know why these historians were killed, you must find out what is written in Shi Cao!" I will try my best to translate this history grass, and I will ask someone to give it to you later! ”

Knowing that this was Wu Ling helping himself, Wang Wujian said to her seriously: "I owe you a favor again!" No matter what happens in the future, as long as I can do it, I will not refuse! ”

"What if it can't be done?" Wu Ling looked at Wang Wujian with a wicked smile, wanting to see the handsome guy's embarrassed expression. After getting along with Wu Ling for a few days, how could Wang Wujian not know her thoughts, he leaned over and whispered in Wu Ling's ear: "Except for asking me to make a personal promise, everything else depends on you, how about it?" ”

Wow! Earned! Earn over! The handsome guy was in such close contact, Wu Ling only felt that the blood in her whole body was surging upward, and she hurriedly took a few steps back: "If you have something to say, why are you so close?" ”

Wang Wujian smiled proudly: "Don't you like to be with handsome guys the most?" And I'm still a handsome guy you personally sealed, isn't it good for me to be so close to you? ”

"Not good! Of course not! It's just a big bad! Male sex is forbidden in the academy! After Wu Ling glared at Wang Wuji, he suddenly came over with a smile in his eyes: "Or, next time we go outside to try close contact?" Rest assured, you will never be asked to make a promise! After successfully seeing Wang Wuji's petrified expression, Wu Ling smirked and turned back to the academy.

Because the time to go out was very short, the afternoon class was not over yet, but Wu Ling didn't plan to go to the class, so he went to the Zunjing Pavilion alone. As soon as I went up to the second floor, I saw Chen Ruxing sitting at the desk: "Senior brother has no classes in the afternoon?" ”

Chen Ruxing glanced at Wu Ling and nodded, and then buried himself in copying his notes. Seeing this, Wu Ling didn't bother anymore, came to the bookshelf to find the book he wanted to read, sat opposite Chen Ruxing and began to look.
