Chapter 102 Resin as the key

"So, what does the woman want me to help you?" Song Che asked.

Ning Yehong picked up the tantric scroll and said: "You have also seen it, this scroll has a strange shape, it is specially made of refined copper, it is not trivial, generally this kind of confidential scroll, it contains strong acid, if it is forcibly broken, the content will definitely be destroyed...... You're so smart, maybe there's a way to open it. ”

Song Che picked up the scroll, played with it for a while, pointed to the keyhole and said, "If there is a keyhole, you can configure the key, you should go to the locksmith, not me." ”

Ning Yehong sighed: "I haven't gone to a locksmith, but this key is extraordinary, and the locksmiths insert the key into the hole, and they all say that it is extremely complicated, and they dare not try it easily." ”

Song Che smiled: "Professionals can't do anything, how can I, an amateur, do it?" ”

"But you laughed." Ning Yehong looked at Song Che, "I found that every time you smile and talk, this matter can be settled." If you can open the tantra, it will be considered to cancel out a human affection. ”

Song Che pursed his lips, "I suddenly feel that doing business with Ning Nuxia is a bit of a loss, and it is obvious that your chips are not equal to mine." ”

Ning Yehong had an unforgiving posture and said loudly: "I'll take care of you!"

Song Che sighed: "Okay, then I'll try, but I'll tell you in advance, I can't be very sure about opening it, I can only fight as much as possible," and then put down the scroll and walked outside the house.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Find something."

Song Che first went to the backyard of Tianxianglou, scraped some resin from the tree, and then went to the back kitchen to get a soup spoon, dug up some lard, and then turned back to the room.

Ning Yehong compared the handwriting of the picture scroll and the envelope in the room, and when she saw that Song Che was back, she hurriedly stepped up and pointed curiously at the things in Song Che's hand, "Are these things useful?" ”

Song Che didn't say anything for the time being, took a candlestick, put the resin into the spoon, and then put the spoon on the candle flame to heat it, and then said:

"When the resin is heated, it softens into a liquid state, and if you pour it into a keyhole, it will cool for a while to solidify, and if you take it out in a semi-dry state, you should be able to get a model of the key."

In ancient times, there was no sheet metal technology, and no matter how sophisticated the lock was, how complicated could it be?

Ning Yehong didn't say anything, so she stretched her neck and watched from the side.

"Take some of this lard and put it in the keyhole, remember not to ask too much."

"Why is lard smeared?"

"Grease the hole and increase the lubrication, so it's much easier to insert it in and out of it." The corners of Song Che's mouth raised slightly.

Ning Ye Honghu looked at Song Che suspiciously, feeling that something was wrong, but he didn't know where.

She did so, and rubbed the hole in the lard with lard.

"You're very skilled."

"Surnamed Song, something is wrong with you!"

"Pine resin is good, pine resin is good...... Song Che took off the spoon, and the pine resin had been heated into a fluid.

Align the pine resin at the keyhole, carefully pour it down, immerse for a while, the pine resin begins to solidify when it is cold, and when it is seven points hard and three points soft, Song Che pulls it out little by little, and immediately puts it flat on the table to cool.

Once the pine resin has solidified completely, a model of a key with a snap tooth is obtained.

"If you take this mold to a locksmith and restore it one-to-one, you may be able to open this scroll."

"You're such a strange man."

Ning Yehong took the handkerchief, wrapped the mold in his sleeve, turned to the table, pointed to the scroll and said: "Just now I compared the envelope with the scroll, and found that there were three people with the same handwriting - one named Hu Lu, one named Zhou Qu, and one called Kuhai. ”

"Master Kukai?" Song Che frowned, isn't it the monk in the Ciyin Temple?

Ning Yehong said: "This monk can be ruled out, and the remaining two should focus on investigation." ”

Song Che said: "I think this monk is the most suspicious. ”

"How so?"

"You know that the most dangerous place is the safest place, the most inconspicuous place, the most impossible person, is precisely the most suspicious."

Ciyin Temple is located in Lingyin Mountain, surrounded by the sea on three sides, overlooking the wharf and the whole of Hangzhou; Moreover, throughout the ages, many thieves would pretend to be Toutuo monks when they were cornered, to get rid of the pursuit and suspicion of the officials.

"But there are no absolutes in the world, these three people have to investigate, and then rule out the possibility one by one, after all, things like handwriting cannot absolutely prove a person's identity...... I can't help with the investigation, so Ning Nuxia will solve it by herself. ”

After Song Che finished instructing, he planned to say goodbye and leave.

"You...... Where do you plan to go next? Ning Yehong asked.

Song Che said: "When Zhou Tianci's head lands, I will be able to return to Suzhou with peace of mind." ”

"I mean, where are you going tonight?" Ning Yehong asked again.

Oh, yes? Where are you going tonight?

Lao Taijun is afraid that he will not be able to escape this time, although this matter has nothing to do with him, but in any case, he is also standing on the opposite side of the Zhou family this time, the Zhou family will collapse, and he can't get out of it.

So he can go anywhere, but it's not good to go anywhere.

Ning Yehong saw Song Che's difficulty, and said casually: "It's better to let you stay in Tianxianglou for a few more days, anyway, you still owe me three favors that you haven't repaid." ”

Song Che turned around and smiled: "This time, you took the initiative to keep me to live, and it can't be considered a favor." ”

Ning Yehong snorted softly, "Whatever you want", and left the room with the scroll and scroll.

Song Che happily stayed.

The next morning.

"Good news, good news."

Ning Yehong pushed open the door and shouted into the room, opening the window to let the sun and breeze wake Song Che up.

She said with a smile: "The government has issued an announcement, and those wicked people of the Zhou family will be beheaded in Beishi at three o'clock in the afternoon tomorrow. ”

Song Che sighed: "Actually, a man's boudoir can also knock on the door when he comes in. ”

Ning Yehong said to herself: "I sent someone to investigate last night, Hu Lu and Zhou Qu have been doing business honestly in Hangzhou for generations, but it is the monk of the empty sea, who does not go out of the door, and is the most suspicious." ”

"Hmm...... And then what? Song Che asked.

Ning Yehong was also not polite: "You think of a way, let's go meet him and touch his bottom." ”

"You're too polite, aren't you?"

"That's not it, you're going back to Suzhou soon, don't you run out of favors soon, won't I lose a lot?" Ning Yehong approached the bed and pressed step by step:

"Think fast, think fast, think fast !"

Where is the original ruthless, taciturn female killer?

Song Che smiled secretly, since this woman stayed overnight last night, he knew that she would definitely come to find trouble.

"I have a plan, but I need the cooperation of Ning Nuxia."

"Tell me that as long as I can catch the pirate leader, I'll do whatever I want." Ning Yehong puffed up her chest and assured.

Song Che said: "I heard that Ciyin Temple is very spiritual, why don't we pretend to be husband and wife pilgrims, pretend to worship the Buddha and ask for children, but in fact secretly investigate?" ”

"I'm with you...... Pretending to be a couple? Ning Yehong was a little surprised, and there was still a little excitement hidden after being surprised, she pretended to be embarrassed: "That's it, let you take advantage of the name, this plan is feasible!" ”
