Lu Jing wanted to call the off-site help hotline, but there were problems.
Si Tianjian expressly prohibits the private use of official weapons, which means that even for supervision, the agency can only rely on the power of the department when encountering things related to strange objects.
However, this does not trouble Lu Jing. Anyway, this case is so complicated and full of contradictions. Lu Jing has not considered the possibility of the existence of strange objects before.
He didn't add any extravagance, he just gave a general introduction to the case, and then asked Si Tianjian to provide him with information so that he could rule out the possibility of strange things causing trouble.
After Lu Jing put down his pen after writing, Gu Jing flew back from outside, and judging from its appearance, it must have just had a delicious meal somewhere.
It didn't even take a fancy to the handful of corns that Lu Jing provided it as a reward for its hard work. It just drank some water in the tea cup, then took the letter written by Lu Jing, spread its wings and flew to Si Tianjian.
After Lu Jing sent the letter, he didn't think much about it and just fell asleep. As a result, less than three hours later, Gu Jing had flown back from outside and brought back Si Tianjian's reply.
Lu Jing had already gotten up at this time and was eating the breakfast brought by the maid. He wiped his hands and untied the letter tied to Gu Jing's leg.
After unfolding it and scanning it for a few times, Lu Jing's expression suddenly became very exciting. He was happy at first, then frowned, and then he fell into deep thought. After thinking for a while, he still had no idea. , so he grabbed the piece of paper and read on.
Soon, his expression changed again, and this time Lu Jing opened his mouth wide and didn't close it for a long time.
After a while, Lu Jing no longer cared about eating the unfinished piece of cake, threw away his chopsticks and hurried out the door.
He first went to Wen Xiaochuan's residence and found that Wen Xiaochuan was not there. Lu Jing patted his head and then remembered that Wen Xiaochuan seemed to have been with Wen Lun these two days.
So Lu Jing rushed outside Wen Lun's room again.
He didn't go in immediately, but sneakily poked his head around for a while. In the end, he didn't catch Wen Xiaochuan coming out, but accidentally saw Aunt Wen.
Lu Jing thought for a while, it seemed that it would be okay if his daughter was not looking for her mother, so he didn't wait any longer and decisively walked out from behind the tree where he was hiding.
Aunt Wen seemed to be thinking about something at the moment and seemed a little absent-minded. She didn't notice it until Lu Jing came to her side.
So Lu Jing had to cough lightly, and Aunt Wen was awakened. She looked up and was slightly surprised to see Lu Jing, "Did Master Lu come to see me for something?"
Lu Jingding nodded, "I would like to ask you a few questions, aunt."
Aunt Wen's expression had returned to calm at this time, and she nodded, "Master Lu, please speak."
"I heard that in the manors of ordinary wealthy families, there will be a secret passage leading to the outside of the manor in case of emergencies. Especially when the world is in chaos recently and bandits are rampant in Huzhou. I wonder if Aunt Wen has prepared for a rainy day?"
A strange look seemed to flash in Aunt Wen's eyes when she heard this, but then she shook her head, "To be honest, I had thought about this, but gave up in the end."
"Why?"
"Because since I moved here, I have been busy reinforcing the city walls and reorganizing the defenses. Although this place is not impregnable now, it is difficult for ordinary bandits to break through. And if we really encounter disaster, That means the number of bandits targeting us is likely to exceed 10,000.
"Faced with so many enemies, it would be difficult for us in Zhuangzi to escape even if we ran out of Zhuangzi through a secret passage," Aunt Wen paused here. "Other people will be easily timid once they have a way out. The same goes for the guards guarding Zhuangzi. With such a secret passage, they may not be so desperate when facing the enemy.
"After all, if you can't defeat it, you can still try to escape from the village through the secret passage. So from the perspective of guarding the village, the existence of this secret passage does more harm than good. As for relying on this secret passage to save a few people in the village, Life, this... Six of my seven daughters are married, and one is no longer with me.
"The Wen family already has a spark of fire. As for me and the old lady, we are both elderly and care very little about our own life and death. If the Wen family village is really destroyed one day, then both of us will also I don’t even plan to escape anymore.”
"Aunt Wen manages the family well, which we admire greatly."
Lu Jing didn't get the answer he wanted, but he wasn't discouraged. After being polite, he asked, "Is there a secret room in the village? Well, it's the kind of secret room that only a few people know about."
"Oh, Master Lu is worried that the murderer is hiding in the secret room. Yes, there are indeed several secret rooms in the village, but I have personally checked them during the previous search, and they were all empty."
"That's right." Lu Jing raised his eyebrows.
"Do you have any other questions, Master Lu?"
"No more for the time being. It seems that I got distracted earlier. Thank you, ma'am, for clearing up my confusion." Lu Jing said.
"You're welcome, Mr. Lu." Aunt Wen sighed after saying this. "This time Mr. Lu came to Wenjiazhuang as a guest. We should have treated him well, but we didn't expect that something like this happened during the trip. Instead, we had to ask Mr. Lu to help us arrest the police. fierce."
"It's okay. After all, I hope to catch the murderer as soon as possible so that Hall Master Jiang can rest in peace as soon as possible."
After Lu Jing finished speaking, he cupped his hands and said goodbye neatly and left.
But he didn't go far. He walked to a place where Aunt Wen couldn't see him and then quickly slipped back.
This time, Lu Jing didn't try any luck. He rushed directly into Wen Lun's residence and grabbed Wen Xiaochuan who was playing leaf cards with the maid in the side hall. "Quickly, take me to the secret room of your house."
When Wen Xiaochuan saw Lu Jing's face, there was a hint of joy at first, but then she remembered that she hadn't washed herself yet, so she let out a wail again, but she could still distinguish the priorities.
Seeing Lu Jingwen's urgency, he stood up and walked out of the hall with Lu Jing, saying, "You must have found the right person. There are many secret rooms in my house. I don't know which one you want to find."
"The most secluded one, no one knows about it. Well, it's best to stay in a place with few people, easy to get in and out, and not easily seen by others."
Wen Xiaochuan thought for a moment and was about to say something, but suddenly closed his mouth.
Lu Jing also saw Wen Lun standing in the courtyard. Just now, she was clearly not here.
"Does Hero Lu always come in like this without telling anyone when he goes to other people's yards?" Wen Lun said calmly.
"No, I called Master Lu here." Wen Xiaochuan tried to help Lu Jing smooth things over.
"This is my yard, not your banquet room. Shouldn't you tell me before inviting people over?" Wen Lun turned his attention to Wen Xiaochuan again after hearing this, and took on the posture of his elder sister lecturing his younger sister. .
However, Lu Jing couldn't wait any longer and said to Wen Lun, "I'm sorry, we're leaving now." Without waiting for Wen Lun's answer, he hugged Wen Xiaochuan's waist and stamped his feet before walking through the main entrance. He actually climbed over the wall and left Wen Lun's courtyard.
