Starting in the Tang Dynasty, welcoming Changle

The entire area is full of burnt wood.

At this time, the people from the Ministry of Works have begun to enter the document clerk and check the burning of the document.

And prepare a new room and move the remaining files away to avoid any accidents.

"Mr. Qin, that's it."

Du Chuke spoke to Qin Wenyuan.

Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly.

He looked forward.

I saw the Ministry of Works’ Files and Certificate, located at the northwest corner of the yamen.

It is precisely because this is a corner and the wind is not strong today that the fire department is in severe flames, but it does not endanger other areas.

The structure of a two-story building in the Library of Documents.

Not small in size.

The one with the worst burn is the second floor.

There are six windows on the second floor, but now, three are completely burned out.

The wall on one side was also burned to black.

The roof collapsed directly because the beam above was burned.

It makes the second floor look very dilapidated.

Qin Wenyuan said, "Go in and take a look."

Du Chuke hurriedly stayed by the side.

When you open the door on the first floor, there will be smoke after the fire, impacting the nasal cavity.

Fortunately, the windows were ventilated everywhere here, so the smoke quickly dissipated so that they would not be unable to enter.

However, in order to prevent it, Qin Wenyuan still wanted to put a piece of cloth, poured water on the cloth, and then covered his mouth and nose.

He entered the first floor and saw a place like a counter.

This is the place where the documentary department is in charge and the documentary secondment is recorded.

At this time, the place was still intact and the fire was put out before it affected the place.

Du Chuke said: "It was a good time when the fire broke out, it was discovered at night. As soon as the fire broke out."

"And tonight, some tasks of the Ministry of Works need to be chased.

So most people stayed here, and then rushed over to put out the fire as soon as the fire broke out."

"Otherwise, if we find out late or there are not enough people in the yamen, we dare not imagine what kind of results will happen."

Qin Wenyuan nodded.

Bypassing the counter, I saw bookshelf behind me.

The entire first floor was almost filled with bookshelf.

And the bookshelf are all file files.

Because the main burned place is the second floor, although some of the files on the first floor have been affected, most of them have been preserved.

This is also a blessing in disguise.

Du Chuke said: "The files on the first floor are those in the past eight years. Fortunately, most of them have been preserved."

"But the file on the second floor..."

He raised his head, his eyes full of flesh pain: "There is only limited if you can stay."

What is the file on the first floor? Is it a file in eight years?

So, what Mrs. Han said, is the file that Han Qian spent ten years ago placed on the second floor?

But the second floor has been burned half.

………………………………………

Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes.

He followed the stairs to the second floor.

Once you enter the second floor, you can see what it looks like after the fire.

More than half of the bookshelf have been burned.

There are only a few corners in the file.

Other files that were not burned were soaked a lot because they had just been put out of the fire.

Qin Wenyuan made a preliminary estimate and found that three-fifths of the files burned on the second floor were burnt.

Less than half of the remaining ones.

It was the first time Du Chuke climbed to the second floor after the fire.

………………………………………

Even though he had a bad premonition in his heart, he felt so distressed that he couldn't breathe when he saw that the file had burned halfway.

After all, that is the foundation accumulated by the Ministry of Works over the past few decades.

Now, it's all burned.

Qin Wenyuan said: "Where is the file from ten years ago?"

"Ten years ago?"

Du Chuke glanced at the second floor, then pointed at the ashes and said, "It's all there."

Qin Wenyuan's eyes flashed.

Sure enough, everything was as expected!

He came to the ashes, squatted down, and could only pick up some burnt corners from the side.

Qin Wenyuan took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Du, was there anyone in the file before the fire?"

Du Chuke said: "There is only one master who is here to take care of the documentary and clan family."

"Does he know why it caused the fire?"

Du Chuke shook his head: "He said the fire was burned from the second floor, but at that time, he was on the first floor, and there was no one on the second floor, and there was no stove or something, so he was very puzzled. Why could it suddenly start on the second floor?"

Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes when he heard Du Chuke's words and asked, "When the fire broke out, there was no one else on the second floor?"

Du Chuke said: "That's what he said. I will call him here, Lord Qin will ask."

Qin Wenyuan nodded: "Okay."

At the same time, he also said to Du Chuke: "Mr. Du, it is best to count the number of people in the Ministry of Works to see if there are people who should have been here, but now, they are not in the yamen."

When Du Chuke heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed.

He immediately understood what Qin Wenyuan meant.

"Mr. Qin is worried... Han Qian has an accomplice in the yamen. The accomplice set the fire and has already escaped in the chaos?"

Qin Wenyuan smiled and said, "There are any possibility, so I asked Lord Du to investigate first."

Du Chuke said without saying a word, "Okay, let's do it right away."

Du Chuke quickly turned around and left.

Leave Qin Wenyuan behind and continue to inspect the scene.

The scene of the fire is more important than the scene of the murder case.

At the scene of a murder case, there will always be some clues or evidence.

But the fire scene was burned very thoroughly, and many traces would be destroyed by the fire.

In other words, the cause of the fire is likely to have been burned out.

If it were later generations, relying on some special equipment, the fire point and the cause of the fire might be found.

But the Tang Dynasty was very difficult.

At most, you can only rely on confessions from others, the severity of on-site burning, and some experience to speculate.

Therefore, it is much more difficult to find the truth in ancient fires than to find the murderer.

“Huh?”

At this time, Qin Wenyuan suddenly let out a light ejaculation.

He squatted down and picked up the burnt files again, leaving only some corners.

Looking at the remaining papers, Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes.

He raised his head and looked at the remaining file.

Qin Wenyuan suddenly stood up, went to the files two times, picked up a copy and looked at it.

This file is a file from twenty years ago.
