Chapter 607: Clearing Suspicion
"What about those highly poisonous pills?" Jiang Wu asked.
Qiao Zhao smiled: "Doesn't this mean that the pill containing the poison has nothing to do with me, but the real murderer put it in to confuse the public?"
"Confusing the public, do you mean that my father-in-law didn't take a highly poisonous pill before he was poisoned and died?" Jiang Shiyi asked keenly.
Qiao Zhao bowed: "I speculate that these highly poisonous pills were put in by the murderer later, in order to find a scapegoat." ”
"If so, how did the father-in-law get poisoned?"
Qiao Zhao reached out and picked up the teapot, picked up a teacup at random and poured it with water.
Seeing her actions, everyone was puzzled.
Qiao Zhao pinched the teacup and looked at Hongying: "Generally speaking, once a person has formed a habit, it is difficult to change. The Governor takes his medicine every day before going to bed, so you should be used to preparing warm water for the Governor to take his medicine at a fixed time every night, right?"
"Yes, every night the maidservant prepares warm water for the Governor to take medicine. ”
"How much is the amount of water? half a pot of water, or a full pot?"
"Half a pot is prepared every time. ”
"And how much water was left in the teapot when you cleaned up your room the next day?"
"There's so much left. Hongying gestured with her hand.
Qiao Zhao thanked him, poured the water he had poured back into the teapot, and lifted the lid for everyone to see.
"You see, there is more water in the teapot than in half a pot now, and Hongying found that there were broken teacups on the ground when the Governor died, which means that the Governor drank water. So the question is, under what circumstances is there more water left in the teapot after drinking a glass of water than before it was normally drunk?"
None of the people present were stupid, and when Qiao Zhao said this, everyone had already vaguely understood.
"You mean...... Someone changed the water in the teapot?" Jiang Yuanchao asked softly.
Qiao Zhao glanced at him, and immediately retracted his gaze: "To be precise, it should be a change of teapot!" Because the original teapot was poisoned, in order to destroy the evidence, after the death of the Dadu Governor, the murderer took advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention to replace the original teapot with a teapot with the same pattern, so that the water in the teapot would not be found to be poisonous. ”
Qiao Zhao said, slowly swept everyone's faces, and smiled lightly: "It's a pity that Baimi is sparse, he thought that if he changed the teapot, no one would find out that there was a problem with the water in the teapot, but the remaining amount of water in the teapot left a flaw!"
"Slap, slap, slap!" Jiang Wu clapped his hands gently, "Miss Li San is really smart and sharp-tongued. ”
"Fifth Master Jiang praised it falsely. Qiao Zhao said calmly.
Jiang Wu tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly.
Who praises it, this girl loves to be amorous!
"It's a pity that it's too rash to draw such a conclusion from the weight of a pot of water, right?" Jiang Wu asked with a smile.
"Imprudent?"
"yes, maybe Hongying poured more water that night? Jiang Wu looked at Hongying, "Are you sure you poured half a pot of water that night?"
was stared at by Jiang Wu like this, Hongying couldn't speak, and stammered: "Servant, servant...... Should...... Uh, no......"
Jiang Shiyi frowned impatiently: "It's very rash." ”
Is what such a servant girl says really reliable?
Qiao Zhao glanced at Jiang Shiyi: "The eleventh master may think that people are unreliable, so let's use objects to speak." ”
Jiang Shiyi was slightly stunned.
Why does he always have a feeling that this Li girl has seen through his mind?
What he thought, she seemed to know first.
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but glance at Qiao Zhao more.
Shao Mingyuan watched coldly, and his face turned black when he saw this situation.
What's the situation, this kid always looks at what his daughter-in-law does?
Qiao Zhao inexplicably felt that the atmosphere was a little colder, as if the cold wind outside the house had suddenly blown in.
"What kind of object can still speak?" Jiang Shiyi unconsciously used the word "also", obviously agreeing with Qiao Zhao's previous speculation about the pill.
Qiao Zhao also stopped selling Guanzi, and pointed with his hand: "This teapot!"
"What's wrong with the teapot?" Jiang Wu frowned.
The previous pill was prepared by this girl, and the pill was engraved with a number as a mark, this teapot should always belong to the Jiang family, right?
Qiao Zhao poured out the water in the teapot, turned it upside down to expose the bottom end, and then turned the three teacups upside down in turn, signaling everyone to come and see: "Now everyone should see the difference, right?"
Jiang Yuanchao grabbed a teacup, his eyes flashed slightly: "The teapot and the teacup are not fired in the same batch. ”
It is an obvious fact that tea sets of this quality are made in official kilns, and the date of the finished product is often written in an inconspicuous place, but it is not easy to think of this in this situation.
In the face of the violent death of Jin Linwei's leader, who would have thought that a small teapot would have something else?
"I don't think Governor Jiang will use a teapot that doesn't match, right?"
This time, no one refuted Qiao Zhao's words.
Qiao Zhao spoke again: "Of course, the style and color of the teapot are exactly the same, and it may have been confused a long time ago. Fifth Master Jiang, did you say?"
Jiang Wu's face was slightly gloomy: "Miss Li San doesn't have to target me, compared to unfounded speculation, I just believe in conclusive evidence more." ”
At this time, he said that the teapot had not been changed, and he would not do such a humiliating thing.
Jiang Yuanchao smiled unconsciously at the corner of his mouth.
Miss Qiao asked like this, there must be more indisputable evidence.
She will always be such a calm and shrewd, clever girl.
Jiang Yuanchao's eyes were a little nostalgic.
At that time, they had several coincidences, and she was not as cold to him as she is now.
Thinking of this, the dense pain spread out in Jiang Yuan's heart, and finally turned into coldness.
"What other evidence does Miss Li have?" Jiang Shiyi asked.
"The color of the inside of the teapot. Qiao Zhao turned the teapot to the side for everyone to see, "The inside of this teapot is yellowed, and there are tea stains that can't be washed off, and most of the governors can only use water to take medicine, and his teapot only holds water, so it is impossible to leave such tea stains." ”
The interior is quiet.
Qiao Zhao rubbed his eyebrows and covered up his exhaustion: "Do you still have any objections now?"
"The teapot was replaced by the murderer, and the water in the teapot poisoned the father-in-law, so who is the murderer?" Jiang Shiyi looked at Qiao Zhao with extremely serious eyes.
Qiao Zhao couldn't help laughing: "Eleventh Master asked me?"
Jiang Shiyi looked surprised.
She said it straight and straight, not asking who she asked?
"I'm just a suspect who was brought in for questioning by the adults of Jin Linwei, and now that I've proven my innocence, I should be able to leave, right? As for finding out the murderer, what does that have to do with my little girl?"
Jiang Shiyi opened his mouth and asked dryly, "How are you willing to help?"
"Brother Eleven, don't embarrass Miss Li. Jiang Yuanchao sighed.
Jiang Wu sneered: "Thirteenth brother, Miss Li has cleared her suspicions, but you haven't yet!"
Qiao Zhao was annoyed when he heard Jiang Wu's voice, and said lightly: "Let my father go, and I will help." ”
