Chapter 37: Investigate the real culprit
Su Ruoxi returned to her room and fell asleep.
Su Yao's birthday celebration tomorrow is full of people with status and face.
Su Yi was suddenly poisoned at this time, and things would definitely not end so simply, so she needed to recharge her energy now.
Su Ruoxi didn't know how long she had been asleep in a daze, but Wan'er woke her up.
When she woke up, it was sunset.
"Miss, why are you still sleeping so peacefully?"
Wan'er stayed by Su Ruoxi's bedside, looking very anxious.
Su Ruoxi sat up lazily, glanced at Wan'er, and responded: "First, the sky hasn't fallen again." Second, I didn't do anything wrong, why can't I sleep steadily? ”
"Miss, you'd better go to the front hall and have a look. Mrs. clamored to investigate the poisoning of the little son, and the prince sent Hou Qingyun of Dali Temple to investigate. Everyone is here, just waiting for you, Miss. ”
"Huh! This is a thief shouting to catch a thief! It just so happened that Miss Ben was bored, so I went to see how it was lively! ”
Mu Zihan is really eventful! Who asked him to find someone to investigate, it is said that this Hou Qingyun is notoriously iron-faced and selfless.
She wants to see what results this Hou Qingyun can find.
Su Ruoxi thought in her heart, and then rushed towards the hall with Wan'er.
When she arrived in the hall, everyone had arrived.
As soon as she arrived at the door, Su Ruoxi heard Shen Lianyue analyzing her guilt in a vigorous manner.
"Hou Qingyun, that plate of peach blossom cake was given by the Queen Mother, except for Su Ruoxi, no one has touched the pastry. Su Ruoxi was fine when she ate it, but Yi'er ate it and she put it back but was poisoned. ”
"And as we all know, Su Ruoxi was a fool who didn't understand anything before, even if he suddenly became sober, he didn't know how to heal."
"Although Yi'er is fine now, it is obvious that Su Ruoxi poisoned herself, and afterwards she began to feel weak when she found out about her body, so she gave Yi'er an antidote."
Slap-smack-smack!
Su Ruoxi clapped her palms and walked into the hall, she heard Shen Lianyue's words just now, word for word.
"I didn't expect my aunt's reasoning ability to be so powerful, I felt like a murderer when I heard it. My aunt has such ability, why don't you go with Hou Qingyun to solve the case in the future? ”
Seeing that Su Ruoxi finally came, Shen Lianyue stared at her eyes and gritted her teeth.
"Come to the king. Hou Qingyun is fair and strict, and will definitely find out the matter. ”
Mu Zihan sat on the upper seat, and Su Ruoxi walked straight to his side, and raised his eyes to look at that Hou Qingyun again.
She originally thought that this so-called Hou Qingyun must be a middle-aged man with a mustache, and he had an old-fashioned face, with dark skin like Bao Gong.
Unknowingly, just one glance shocked her slightly.
This Hou Qingyun is not only very young, he looks three years older than her at most, and what is even more incredible is that he is still very handsome, and even has a polite temperament.
Such a beautiful man, if she hadn't known his identity in advance, she would definitely think that he was a rich nobleman.
After listening to Shen Lianyue's story, Hou Qingyun did not make any comments.
He paced in front of Su Ruoxi, bowed very politely, and said with a professional smile: "Hou Qingyun has seen the three princesses, I don't know if the princess can easily return to the next three questions. ”
Su Ruoxi's first impression of Hou Qingyun was not bad, so she nodded, "No problem." ”
"Dare to ask the princess if anyone touched that plate of pastries before eating peach blossom cake?"
"No, I only ate one piece, and the top one."
Su Ruoxi answered truthfully, although such an answer might be unfavorable to her, she was not afraid.
"Did the princess hand over the peach blossom cake to someone else?"
"I gave it to my personal maid Wan'er, but Wan'er was scolded by Aunt Shen before she could eat it, and Wan'er was so scared that she didn't dare to eat it."
"Now that I think about it, I have to thank Aunt Shen, otherwise I'm afraid it will be my girl who will be poisoned."
Su Ruoxi made a simple and innocent appearance, but her seemingly sneering words were said very easily.
"After the pastry was put back, did anyone touch it?"
Hou Qingyun continued to ask the last question, these three questions, he had asked several people present at the time.
The question seemed simple, but he could find a flaw in the answers of the crowd.
"I don't know, maybe Aunt Shen and Su Ruotong, as well as the young lady next to my aunt, they will know better than me."
Obviously, if the peach blossom cake was not poisonous from the beginning, then Shen Lianyue and Su Ruotong had another daughter, and they were even more suspicious.
"Su Ruoxi, what do you mean by that? Do you think that I poisoned Yi'er myself, and I can't wronged you again? ”
As soon as she heard Su Ruoxi's answer, Shen Lianyue quarreled, as if Su Yi's poisoning made her unable to calm down.
"I didn't say anything, why is my aunt so nervous? But what my aunt said just now may be really possible. After all, it is the most poisonous woman's heart, Hou Qingyun, you have to investigate it carefully. ”
After Hou Qingyun finished asking, he sat down to drink tea very leisurely, silently watching the battle of words between Su Ruoxi and Shen Lianyue.
"Hou Qingyun, you've finished asking all the questions you should ask, but are there any clues?"
Su Yao asked patiently, everyone who knew Hou Qingyun knew his temperament, and he did things casually.
If it weren't for the fact that he had solved more than a dozen major cases in the two years he had taken office, and his ability was very good, Su Yao would not have been so polite to him.
"Master Su, don't worry, the murderer will be revealed soon."
Hou Qingyun said lightly, his casual words made everyone present nervous.
Even Su Ruoxi couldn't believe it, he really already knew who the murderer was?
Everyone had their own suspicions in their hearts, and at this moment, a plainclothes attendant hurriedly ran to Hou Qingyun's side, leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear.
I saw Hou Qingyun nodded, and the entourage retreated again.
"Guys, I already know who the killer is. Please move to the gazebo in the back garden, and the truth will soon be revealed. ”
Hou Qingyun stood up as he spoke, and walked out of the hall quickly.
The others followed suit, and came together to the gazebo in the back garden.
The scene was well protected by Mu Zihan's faction, and even a piece of flower that fell in the pavilion did not change its position.
Su Ruoxi followed behind Hou Qingyun, wanting to see him solve this case like this.
I saw that Hou Qingyun picked up the incense burner on the stone table with a chopstick, and asked Shen Lianyue, "Dare to ask Mrs. Shen, what is in this incense burner?" ”
