It is impossible to punish adults

Chapter 283 Spider Silk
"Oh? What kind of unusual method?" Yuan Mu asked.

"I feel like I can smell a pine oil smell in the black smoke." Mu Liuyun replied, "I could only detect it when I smelled the smoke just now, and then I was choked by the smoke. When you get angry, you can’t smell it.”

Yuan Mu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Pine oil? You mean, there was pine wood in the thing burned by the fire?"

"It stands to reason that it should be like this, but the boundary of Yanzhou is not suitable for the growth of pine trees. No matter whether we saw them along the way when we came here, or recently went out of the city to the monk's temple, we have never seen a pine tree. pine.

The pine wood itself is not suitable for building houses because it is too easy to crack and deform. The county government offices are generally made of bricks and stones, and the beams of the houses are generally made of fir wood. The wooden doors in the government offices are either red cherry wood or basswood. , generally do not choose pine.

Even if it is occasionally made of pine wood, after so many processes and repeated painting, it shouldn't still smell so heavy of pine oil!That's why when the adults asked me if there was anything unusual, I thought of it. "

"When you and the yamen servants in the yamen first returned to Yuyong County Yamen, did you also smell any strange smell?"

"No." Mu Liuyun shook his head, "There were not many people in Yuyong County's yamen today, and they were basically called to help Jia's house. I heard that even the cooks in the yamen ran away after Wu Rongzhi's death. , refused to stay there to cook, so those yamen who stayed in the yamen didn't even know where to go to stutter at noon.

Therefore, not to mention any unusual things in the yamen, there are almost no such things as haystacks and firewood that are easy to burn!I didn't expect that it would suddenly catch fire later. "

"Tuiguan, I just went to the county government to ask a few simple questions about this matter." Yuan Yi said to Mu Liuyun, "People around said that it feels like suddenly, the Yamen caught fire, from the very beginning From the discovery of a fire to the moment when the flames soared into the sky, it felt like a split second, which made everyone feel unprepared and defenseless."

"This fire is so strange..." Mu Liuyun frowned, feeling that the fire he had just fallen into was a bit strange.

Then she slammed the table and stood up from the chair: "My lord! Not good! Those thief monks! Those thief monks are still locked in the prison of the county government by us!"

Yuan Mu didn't move, and what Mu Liuyun suddenly remembered was naturally clearer than she remembered, so he didn't look surprised at all, let alone anxious.

"Officer Mu Tui, don't worry, just take a short break, and it won't be too late for us to go and have a look when the fire at the county government is completely extinguished, and then we have to take a closer look at the official Tui." Yuan Mu told her said, with a calm tone that seemed to contain a hint of anger.

Hearing what he said, Mu Liuyun was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood in his heart that the fire was too strange, Yanzhou had abundant rivers and lakes, and Yuyong County was also a place with a lot of rain, so there was no such thing as heavenly stems. In a dry situation, let alone a county government office, where even the cook ran away, and there was no one to light a lamp in broad daylight, how could it suddenly be lit?

What's more, this time was a bit of a coincidence. Before the fire started, there was a period of time when everyone in the yamen who could still be ordered was called to Jia's house to carry the corpse, and they were also called out for a long time. Not long after coming back, the fire suddenly caught fire.

You don't need to think about it, Mu Liuyun knows that this is definitely because someone took advantage of the fact that everyone in the yamen was called away, and there was no one watching carefully in the empty yamen, so he took the opportunity to put some fire inside to help the fire. sprawling stuff.

This thing must not be something like lamp oil that is easy to be seen or even accidentally touched or stepped on. It must be hidden, right under their noses, but it will not be easily discovered by those clerks... …

Didn't I smell the smell of pine oil just now...

Mu Liuyun suddenly became clear in his heart, and looked up at Yuan Mu: "My lord! It's rosin! This thing is piece by piece, and it's not noticeable if it's thrown in a corner, and it's not easy to be ignited by itself, but if the surrounding If the thing burns and melts it, it will also make the small flame quickly become blazing.

When the people in the yamen went to Jia’s house to help us dispose of the dozens of corpses, if someone sneaked into the county yamen and sprinkled rosin in every inconspicuous corner, near the doors, windows and furniture made of wood, it would not be easy to get caught. People found it!
If my conjecture about rosin is correct, then the murderer who murdered all the Jia family members including a dozen servants should be related to the person who was in Yuyong County Ya's fire prevention today.

What the other party was waiting for was for us to go to Jia's house and find that Jia Yingcai's family had been wiped out, so they asked helpers to go there, so they could take the opportunity to sneak into the county government and arrange everything that needs to be done for subsequent fire prevention. "

After she finished speaking, she suddenly felt that something was wrong. If the other party could easily sneak into the Yuyong county government office, then she must be able to do more than just prevent fire.

Although it is terrible to catch fire, after all, the fire is not controlled by people, and there are too many variables. If you want to create some kind of result, relying on a big fire is not enough insurance, and it is too easy to go wrong.

Since people in the dark have had ample opportunity to go in and hide some fuel-supporting gadgets, how can they simply rely on that fire to accomplish their real goals?
I am afraid that the real effect of a big fire is to make everything in the county government look "cleaner".

No wonder Yuan Mu looked so calm when he mentioned those thieve monks just now, probably he had already guessed this level, knowing that those few people would definitely die, no matter how anxious he was, it would be of no avail.

From this point of view, since they arrived in Yuyong County, their every move has fallen into the eyes of others.

There are some things here that the other party didn't want them to touch, but they did, so those clues and traces must be erased. The clues that were originally intended to be dug deep have now become spider webs in the wind , gone in the blink of an eye.

What do the forces hiding in the dark want to prove with this?They are thighs, and Yuan Mu is just an arm?
Just now, Mu Liuyun felt that soaking in hot water was very warm, but now that he thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a chill running up his spine all the way to the top of his head.
