Chapter 100: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell

The waiting time is always very long and difficult. The day passed quickly, and it was more than 24 hours of waking up, but Xiao Shunzi did not come back to her life, which means that the female prisoner has not woken up yet. This made me wonder if the powder I had concocted had failed.

Such doubts make people frustrated and anxious, and even more guilty of the female prisoner's inner conscience. I don't want anyone to die because of this, even if that person dies soon.

The next day is the final deadline, and once the neurotoxin exceeds 48 hours, it will cause irreversible damage to the brain due to physical failure, that is, brain death. I couldn't sleep that night, and I was half-asleep and half-awake in anticipation of Xiao Shunzi knocking on the door and saying that the female prisoner was awake. But until the dawn of the rooster crowed, there was still no movement, which made me rush to complete despair.

If this method fails, I will have no better way to get Chun'er out of the mansion smoothly, and then in her current state, it will inevitably make me irreversible.

I'm not afraid of death, but I'm not alone right now, and if something happens to me, I'm bound to drag everyone around me into the water. Not only will Yinzhen and Yinzhen be suspicious right now, but everyone in this courtyard, including Qian and the people around her, will also be involved, and Geng's parents will inevitably be jealous of Yinzhen. There is also Yunhui's mother and younger brother who need me to take care of ...... All of this made it impossible for me to face her threats calmly and unscrupulously.

I got up and sat on the couch and watched the dawning sky, took out the bottle containing the medicinal powder from my sleeve and squeezed it in my hand, and suddenly the words of Xiao Shunzi recurred in my heart: "There are only dead people in the world who can't speak, if you want to do it once and for all, it is better to let the threat disappear forever......"

This terrible thought kept appearing in my mind, like the seed of the demon breaking through the ground and growing rapidly, and the stiffness and numbness seemed to spread from the heart to the whole body. At that moment, the door creaked open, and I suddenly looked up at the door that was gradually opening, and Xiao Junko walked in.

"Gege" Xiao Shunzi stepped forward and called softly.

I stood up and looked at him, moving my lips, trying to ask but not making a sound.

"She's awake," Xiao Shunzi's words were like a kind of redemption, uprooting the evil thoughts that had grown.

I sat down on the couch with a weak body, stroked my chest and gasped for breath, relieved myself for a while, and asked eagerly, "She...... Are you alright?"

Xiao Shunzi nodded and said, "The pulse and heartbeat of the body have returned to normal, but it seems that the spirit has broken down and has been in a state of chaos and madness." ”

"It is a drug that is three parts poisonous, and any drug will leave different degrees of sequelae in physiology or psychology. But the only thing we can think of is the best we can do, and we can only do our best. Let the people at the Criminal Department in the house be accommodating, and say that I want to see Chun'er again. You bring that woman with you, and when the time comes, it is indispensable for Chun'er to see the miracle of resurrection from the dead, and she will cooperate. When he said this, there was no hesitation at the beginning, only coldness remained. Maybe when I agreed to test the drug with a living person, the moment I thought about killing to protect myself, I still lost my purest self.

After that day, everything went well, and after seeing the fact that the female prisoner came back to life two days after her death, Chun'er also agreed to the "death plan" of the golden cicada to come back to life after breaking out of her shell.

Yinzhen also began to make new progress. They found out the ancestral home of the grandmother, and there seemed to be a hidden relationship related to the Li family.

It's just that I was busy with Chun'er's affairs and didn't have time to ask, and Yinzhen was also very busy to welcome Kangxi's summer return to Luan. It's just that the criminal department seems to be still in a stalemate with the murderer, and there is no progress at all.

It was the last day of August when everything was ready. Chun'er agreed to confess everything she knew as planned, and the night before the Criminal Department was ready to ascend to the court, the news came that Chun'er committed suicide in fear of crime. Beside her was a confession with a handprint drawn. It clearly stated the whole thing she knew, but she was also very obedient and didn't pull out anything else.

This confession, the people of the Criminal Department carefully copied it word for word for me to see. The whole case that Chun'er experienced finally came to the fore.

Soon after Chun'er was sent back to the servant's house by me, the Li family suddenly said that there was a shortage of people, because the Li family was still in charge of the inner courtyard at that time, and the servant housekeeper selected a few girls who were safe and clever to please her and sent them over, including Chun'er.

Chun'er actually took the initiative to apply to go to Li's side, originally knowing that Li's and I didn't get along, and thought that they could secretly help me after they passed. But I didn't expect that Li had already learned about her relationship with me through other channels, and made her difficult and excluded her in every way, and her life was very sad.

It wasn't until a month later that Chun'er found that she was starting to feel a little unwell, so she looked for Lang Zhong and found that she had a body. She was scared and wanted to ask me for help, but she didn't know what to tell me, and she was afraid that I wouldn't let her keep the child. So he endured it all the time, but in the end he was noticed by the cronies and servants around the Li family. The chamberlain asked her who the father of the child was, and she refused to say, but she insisted on keeping the child, and the chamberlain told her that if she was willing to do something for the Li family, she would not only be able to keep the child, but also leave the house alive.

Chun'er didn't know what it was at the time, but thinking of the power of the Li family, she still agreed. A few days later, she was transferred to the courtyard of Lao Gege.

Lao Gege is only a person with the word "indifferent", whether she is favored or not, she seems to be indifferent, she never embarrassed to call people, all day long she is alone in the small courtyard to sew and mend, looking for what she likes to do, but she is also happy. So Chun'er lived a very light and peaceful life after being transferred, although she was not tired, but it was very boring.

Just when Chun'er was about to forget to agree to Li's conditions, the chamberlain suddenly found her and said "plan starts", and told her not to have other thoughts, otherwise Li's pinching her to death would be as simple as pinching an ant.

In fact, she has very little to do with this plan. The chamberlain said that she only needed to hold me back for a while after the banquet, and find a way to get my token, and then go to Degege's room and put my token in Degege's room within the appointed time, so that I could blame the whole thing.

It's actually very simple for her, because I trust her. So she thought of using the letter sent by Yinyu Tanabata to trick me into handing over something to her, and then put the token in Degege's room at the appointed hour.

In fact, when doing this, Chun'er also hesitated, and at that time there was still a trace of past affection in her heart. She originally thought that if I have affection for Yinyu, then she is willing to fulfill me, and if I fail Yinyu for my own glory and wealth, then she doesn't need to be kind to me. The final result was obvious, so the last trace of affection was broken.

"Roughly the same as my previous guess, I think the most crucial part of this confession is the chamberlain who passed the message. It seems that the Li family never really met with Chun'er from beginning to end, and said anything from the inner servant. I think there's something wrong with that chamberlain, and it's likely that it's the crux of the case. "After reading the confession, I said to the official of the criminal department.

"Gege is right, and the lower officials think so, but this matter still has to be told to the fourth master before making a decision," the official of the Criminal Department said politely.

"There's nothing wrong with this confession, you can just submit the original. Speaking of this, the meaning of the language was slight, it seemed to be sad, and the meaning sighed quietly: "Chun'er is my childhood friend after all, although she is unkind to me, I can't be unjust to her." I heard that Chun'er committed suicide with a sinful body, and the corpse was afraid that it would be abandoned in the wilderness. I can't bear it in the end, can I ask the adults to be accommodating and hand over her body to my side to arrange disposal, at least there is a thin coffin for her to be buried in peace, which can be regarded as my past affection. ”

When the official sent the confession, he had already examined the body, and Chun'er's body was already stiff, without any pulse or breathing, because tetrodotoxin is also an alkaloid poison, so when the silver needle probed the throat, the silver needle also saw black. Therefore, it was determined that he committed suicide by taking poison, and the criminal department was a veteran of decades, and a little touch of the abdomen could confirm that there was a formed fetus in it, which also corroborated the authenticity of Chun'er's testimony. Therefore, Chun'er's body can be disposed of.

The officials of the Criminal Department read that I had good thoughts in my heart, so they did a favor and asked people to take Chun'er's body out of the house and hand it over to Xiao Shunzi who was following behind him.

In this way, Chun'er went out of the house smoothly. Three days later, Xiao Shunzi received a message from outside, saying that everything was in order, and I was finally at ease. (To be continued.) )
