Chapter 318: Inquiry
"Regardless of whether it is hidden in Daifukuji Temple or not, the murderer must have a connection with Daifukuji Temple. Pen, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info let's go and see if Master Jingxi is awake. β
When the two returned to the bamboo house, Qiao Zhao asked the monk who was guarding outside Jingxi's house, "Master, has Master Jingxi woken up?"
The monk saluted Qiao Zhaohe: "The donor can go in and have a look." β
Qiao Zhao turned around and said to Shao Mingyuan, "I'll go take a look first." β
Shao Mingyuan bowed.
Qiao Zhao walked in and saw that Jing Xi was still asleep.
She quietly retreated and shook her head at Shao Mingyuan.
The two sat down on a wooden chair behind the bamboo house.
Qiao Zhao took out the folded handkerchief and opened it to reveal the fangs.
The root of the tooth was disgusting with black and yellow, but she directly used a silver needle to pick out a little toxin and put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it.
Shao Mingyuan was quite surprised.
He thought girls would be disgusted with this kind of thing.
Qiao Zhao glanced at him and said lightly, "See what I do?"
As if she had guessed Shao Mingyuan's thoughts, the girl said unshockedly: "Of course I will feel disgusting, but it is more important to find out what kind of poison it is, isn't it?"
Shao Mingyuan nodded, staring at her deeply, and his tone was gentle that he had never expected: "Yes." β
Qiao Zhao paid all his attention to that tooth, sniffed it and frowned, "It's not arsenic." β
"Can you smell it?" asked Shao Mingyuan with a smile.
"Well, arsenic has a bitter almond flavor that is easy to tell. Qiao Zhao fiddled with the yellowed tooth at the root through the handkerchief, and hesitated, "There is a very faint fishy smell, like some venom taken from a living object." β
"Living creatures?"
Qiao Zhao raised his eyes to look at him, and said in a non-wavering tone: "For example, snake venom." β
Shao Mingyuan's expression was solemn: "If it is really a living thing, then it is necessary to determine what kind of living object it is extracting from the toxin." β
Different places will have different fish, insects and beasts, and if you are lucky, you can even guess which side is cultivating the dead soldiers.
"Can Miss Li tell the difference?"
Qiao Zhao shook his head: "Not for the time being, there is nothing here, if you want to determine what kind of toxin it is, you need to verify it with the help of many things, you can only wait until you go out." Fortunately, this poison can last for a long time, and a delay of a few days will not affect it. β
"Then we'll talk about it later. β
"General Shao, do you want to pass on what happened in Shuying'an to the outside?"
Now everyone outside knows that Shao Mingyuan has the ability to enter and exit the mountain, and the disappearance of Master Wumei is a big deal, if he doesn't pass on this news, he may be blamed by the above.
"It's going to get out. I have signaled and am waiting for the pigeon of the guard. β
Qiao Zhao was a little surprised.
Isn't he going to take it personally?
As if guessing what Qiao Zhao was thinking, Shao Mingyuan smiled: "The enemy here is dark and I am clear, and there is a lot of fog, so it is too dangerous to leave you here alone." β
"It turns out that I have become a burden to General Shao. Qiao Zhao smiled helplessly.
"It's not. Shao Mingyuan categorically denied it.
Greeting the girl's deep eyes, he said seriously: "Miss Li, don't think so. I can't do without Miss Li's needles every day, isn't that a burden to Miss Li?"
Qiao Zhao smiled.
This fool is self-aware.
"The two donors, Senior Brother Jingxi has woken up. "A monk came to report the news.
Qiao Zhao walked into the bamboo house.
"Master Jingxi, are you feeling better now, does your head still hurt?"
Jing Xi half sat down: "It's much better, it turns out that Miss Li San still understands medical skills." β
"I learned a little bit from my godfather. Master Jingxi, you have been following Master for many years, haven't you?"
"Yes, when the master lost his hair in the nunnery, the poor nun was sent to serve the teacher. Miss Lisan, is there any news of Shitai now?"
"Not yet, the abbot of Dafu Temple has arranged for the masters to look around, Master Jingxi should relax. β
"Amitabha, they all say that the four major members of the family are empty, but I am afraid that those who can really do it have already become Buddhas. Not afraid of Miss Lisan's jokes, when Poor Ni thought of Shitai's uncertain life and death, his heart was like a knife. β
"I can empathize with Master Jingxi's feelings. Although I have only been with Mrs. Shi for a few months, I have long been overwhelmed by Mrs. Shi's demeanor. Qiao Zhao looked at Jing Xi's expression, and suddenly asked, "Master Jing Xi has been with Shi Tai for so long, have you ever heard Shi Tai mention any special objects in his hand?"
Jing Xi shook her head slowly: "After the poor nun woke up, I thought about it repeatedly, but it didn't. β
"Mrs. Shi has not had any abnormal words and deeds? Master Jingxi thought about it carefully, it was probably related to whether or not he could successfully find Mrs. Shi. β
Jing Xi fell into thought: "When Mrs. Shi first came to the nunnery, she was still a poor nun, and I vaguely remember that Mrs. Shi often couldn't sleep all night at that time, but this is also human nature, it's not abnormal, and then Mrs. Shi gradually had a normal schedule." β
Jing Xi paused when he said this: "Let the poor nun think about it, and then Shitai seems to have a time when he can't sleep well, once ...... more than three years ago."
Qiao Zhao's heart jumped.
More than three years ago, it was when my grandfather passed away.
For some reason, she knew Mrs. Wumei's affection for her grandfather, but it was difficult for her to be disgusted with this princess who had been a green lantern ancient Buddha for most of her life.
Thinking of Mrs. Wumei, she was more embarrassed.
The word love is really annoying.
However, it is clear that Mrs. Mumei's disappearance has nothing to do with her grandfather's death.
"Anything else weird?"
"Another time, many years ago, Shitai once went down the mountain once, and after coming back, she couldn't sleep well for a few days. Jing Xi sighed, "The reason why the poor nun remembers it is because Shitai has been in the nunnery for decades, and that is the only time he has gone down the mountain. β
"Do you remember what year it was?"
"It's been twenty years. Well, it's now the twenty-fifth year of Mingkang, and it was the fifth year of Mingkang at that time. β
"Did Master Jingxi accompany Mrs. Shi down the mountain? Do you know who Mrs. Shi met?"
"It was not the poor nun who accompanied Shitai down the mountain, but the servant girl who lost her hair with Shitai back then, and that senior brother has passed away for many years. Jing Xi retracted her thoughts, "For such a long time, it shouldn't have anything to do with Shitai's catastrophe this time." β
"So has Master Jing Xi ever encountered anything strange?" Taking advantage of the good atmosphere, Qiao Zhao turned to Jing Xi and asked.
Jing Xi smiled: "The poor nun has been in the nunnery since he can remember, and every day is almost the same. β
"Has Master Jingxi ever saved anyone, or made any friends?"
"Poor nuns rarely go down the mountain and don't have the opportunity to make friends. As for saving peopleβ" Jing Xi muttered, "I once gave a man who was dying of hunger a bun at the foot of the mountain, and nothing else was anything special. β
"Then Master Jingxi, let's rest, I'll go and inquire about the situation again, and I'll tell you as soon as there is news from Shitai. β
"Thank you, Miss Lisan. β
Qiao Zhao walked out.
