Chapter 123 Solution to the Chamber of Secret

Ling Yue took the heavy letter, gently shook it in her hand, and then opened it at a glance. Liu Ye came up curiously, but unfortunately, his reading speed was not as fast as Ling Yue, so he gave up when he saw half of it.

"Old Wu, have you seen it?"

Wu Yong shook his head: "Although I didn't see it, Chengyang told me about the case."

"Then take a look." Ling Yue handed the letter back to Wu Yong, wrapped around her hands and looked solemn.

Half an hour later, Wu Yongcai fully understood the beginning and end of the incident, but what puzzled him was why an ordinary report made Ling Yue look solemn: "What's wrong?"

"Where's Ke Chengyang?"

"I went to the State of Chu to hunt down the prisoners."

"I know." Ling Yue's tone was slightly anxious, so that she seemed to be angry to others, "by the way, Ke Chengyang... Forget it, it's okay."

Out of the Supervisory Yuan, Ling Yue suddenly stopped and looked sideways: "Liu Ye, do you think there is anything strange about that report?"

Liu Ye pondered for a while and shook his head: "Sister, you saw it so fast that I only watched half of it. However, I feel that the words are strange.

"What's strange?"

"I can't say it, but I don't feel like what everyone often says, so it feels strange."

"You're right, but the words are strange. It's not like what people in this era would say, and even in that world, that kind of rigorous wording is not common.

"That world? Sister, do you mean that Ke Chengyang is from the world you are in?

Ling Yue nodded: "It's just a feeling, I'm not sure for the time being. However, this case is really interesting. The copper lock must be locked with a key from the outside of the door, but the only key is on the deceased, which causes a secret room murder case.

"Yes, and then what?"

"The first discoverer felt something was wrong and knocked hard on the door, attracting other palace maids and maids. Then, after the first discoverer found a small hammer from nowhere and knocked off the door lock, he saw a dagger inserted in the back of Wu Shanggong and died in **."

Liu Ye muttered: "If the murderer locks the copper lock from the door with the key after killing Wu Shanggong, how can he put the key back into the room and put it on Wu Shanggong?" Or did the murderer lock the copper lock with a master key after killing Wu Shanggong?

"The master key? There is no such nonsense. Ling Yue said, "In fact, after killing Wu Shanggong, the murderer did not take the key and left so grandly. However, when leaving the square door, the murderer prepared a lock very similar to the original copper lock, which is called a fake lock here. Because of the similarity, no one will pay attention to it at all. Until the murderer destroys the lock with a small hammer as the first discoverer, no one will pay attention to whether the copper lock on the door has been replaced. This method is really smart and simple. All you need to do is take advantage of people's blind areas of thinking.

Liu Ye couldn't help admiring: "What a smart method."

"Actually, this is already simple. If it were a Bengeist guy, I don't think it would be so easy." When Ling Yue was reading, she had read countless Benge mystery novels. His meticulous thoughts, huge tricks and almost fantastic but reasonable methods made Ling Yue crazy.

"Is it possible that you have seen this complicated?"

"I've seen it in the novel, but I don't know if it's true or not." Ling Yue said, "However, since there is no problem in theory, it is estimated that there will be no big problem in practice. Now I'm waiting for Li Jinglu, and I don't know what's going on with his report. This one, talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

In the distance, Li Jing came to the two people in a slight hurry. The autumn wind blew and the clothes swayed. From a distance, there was a feeling of fairy style.

"See the dean."

"Oh? The Prime Minister is the Prime Minister. Give me the report so soon.

Li Jing looked embarrassed and stopped talking: "This..."

"What's the problem?"

"This... Weichen really doesn't know how to write the report."

"I won't write what you said earlier. There is no cynic there. Let's go. I'll teach you how to write a report." Ling Yue looked up at the sky and said, "It's still early. I will go to the Prime Minister's mansion for dinner, and that's it."

Before Li Jingyue figured out what Ling Yue meant, he saw that Ling Yue and Liu Ye had gone out a few steps away, and he could only follow him with his head. In Li Jinglue's view, there must be any reason or temptation for Ling Yue's move. It's just that he doesn't know that Ling Yue just wants to change his mind to another place to eat.

The Prime Minister's mansion is not as magnificent as expected, and even looks a little dilapidated. Many places have been in disrepair, with small cracks in the wall, and the paint surface on the railing cylinder has also peeled off due to wind and rain erosion. The flowers and plants in the courtyard are particularly exquisitely trimmed, without a graceful and luxurious posture, but a little more quiet and far-reaching.

As Ling Yue and Liu Ye walked into the hall, a late woman was making tea in orange.

"Master, are you back?"

"Madam, please prepare some good dishes. The dean is going to have dinner here today."

"Yes, the poor concubine is going to prepare."

"Ah, don't prepare too much, just enough to eat." Ling Yue is really hungry. She doesn't want to wait for a few hours to wait for a pile of exquisite dishes that are extremely troublesome to eat.

"As usual." Li Jingluo added again, "Madam, go and take out my treasured good wine. Today I'm going to drink with the dean."

"Okay, wine is the best." Ling Yue smiled cunningly. Want to get her drunk? There is no door. How could Su Rou, who was dominant in the financial field in her previous life, be put together by a prime minister who didn't even know Gong (river crab) Guan? It's just that I think so, but my face is serious.

We talked about some mess, some of which are not. It soon became noon. Under the arrangement of Wu and his maidservant, a table of home-cooked dishes filled the table. What's more rare is that the white rice in the porcelain bowl in front of Ling Yue is piled up like a hill.

The corners of Ling Yue's mouth twitched: "This meal is too much. Liuye is when you grow up, so you have to eat more anyway." Ling Yue pushed the rice bowl in front of Liu Ye, with a good look of loving her brother.

The blue veins on Liuye's forehead burst: "Are you going to feed me as a pig?"

"No, no, but you can't always eat mung bean cake in the night. Look, your face will be green and red in a short time. Hurry up and eat more rice. Rice is the best." With that, Ling Yue pushed the bowl of rice directly in front of Liu Ye, and then began to drink with Li Jing.

Looking at the two bowls of rice piled up like a hill in front of him, Liu Ye sighed helplessly and lowered his head to eat.

"This wine..." Ling Yue drank it all, and only felt the fragrance in her mouth, and there was a faint feeling of scorching liquor in her throat. "Not bad, not bad."

Li Jing slightly poured another glass for Ling Yue: "This wine is made of cold winter dew, which is naturally extremely mellow. Since the dean likes it, drink more."

"Don't drink it alone, you too, Prime Minister."

Li Jing smiled slightly and said, "Hehe, the dean laughed when he saw it." After saying that, he drank it all and was extremely bold
