The person who released the rat has finally been found. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's been more than ten days since the death." Sai Yu examined the corpse, raised his head and said, "Judging from the superficial characteristics of this person's corpse, it is indeed poisoned to death, and he has the same reaction as Lady Yi Jiang and Chaoyue, and there is reason to believe that they are the same poison." But whether this person ate the poisonous food himself, or whether the released rat turned the poisoned fetus in Mrs. Yi Jiang's abdomen into essence and supplied him with poisoning, he needs to go back and examine it carefully. ”

I looked at the environment where the body was found.

Located near Dr. Jeongkook's mansion, it is a very dilapidated courtyard, and at first glance it seems that it has not been lived in for many years. This yard is not very big, there are only two thatched houses, but there is a piece around here, which is such a deserted yard, hidden here, it is indeed not easy to be found.

This is in line with our assumptions about the people who released the rats.

"How did you find him?" I walked back to the corpse.

The corpse was in one of the thatched huts, already decomposed, and emitted a foul smell. It's just that although this place is very close to Dr. Zheng Guo's mansion, it has been abandoned for so long, so there should be a reason why it can be found here.

"They were the ones who found the body." He brought a young man and a woman of some age to me.

"Childe."

"Childe."

The two of them were very polite when they saw Sai Yu.

"Are you two the ones who found the body?" I walked over.

The two of them looked at Xi Yu, very curious about my identity.

Sai Yu turned around and looked at me, and then said to the two of them, "This Huo Xi girl is the one who was entrusted by her father to investigate this case in particular. You can repeat what you have just said to me, to this girl. ”

"Hey, hey." They both deserve humility.

The woman looked at the young man first, and the young man pondered for a moment, and then said, "The last born Weiyi, this is Juzang's mother-in-law. Granny Juzang's house is adjacent to the house of the last child, and at noon today, Mother-in-law Juzang suddenly frightened the courtyard of the house that came to the house, saying that she had found a dead person. The last life was worried that something was wrong, so he went to report it to the officials in the city first. ”

Since the woman found out first...... I looked sideways at the woman, who looked like she was about seventy or eighty years old, dressed in tatters, and her hair was in a disheveled bun like weeds. The skin is yellow and wrinkled, full of cracked lines, and the hands are dark, probably not washed all year round, so it is made. It's just that her eyes are very flexible, and her demeanor does not look like that of an old man, and judging from her facial reactions, I estimated her age, which is probably in her early fifties.

"Girl, the old slave was originally an ordinary family in this city, and his relatives died in the early years, so he had no choice, so he lived by looking for stuttering in these deserted people's homes. I happened to be here again today, but, but this ...... There are too many people like the old slave in this neighborhood, and I really can't find anything to eat when I look for this family......" She leaned over and replied humbly, "But when the old slave found this house, he smelled a particularly stinky smell when he pushed the door, and when I looked at it again, the person was rotten......"

Granny Juzang still had palpitations, and the man who called himself Wei Yi gently stroked Granny Juzang's back to appease her.

"Mother-in-law," I walked over, but startled Granny Juzang, who clearly wanted to hide back. "Mother-in-law, you can't eat things indiscriminately, I know that although you are hungry, this kind of house has not been inhabited for many years, and the usual food will be spoiled if it is left here for more than a few days, and you will get sick if you eat it."

I don't know what I mean by this, but it's more important for them to be alive than to be sick.

"No, it's not." Granny Juzang found out that I had no malicious intentions and shook her head, "Girl...... Old slaves are not stupid. If there had been no one here for many years, then there would have been no food here for a long time, and the old slave knew that someone had come here a few days ago, but no one had come in or out for a few days, so he thought that the person was gone. Thinking that they might be left with something uneaten ......"

"You say, someone came here a few days ago?" And this Ju Zang's mother-in-law clearly said that they might leave something behind, not him, that is, "Isn't there more than one person here?" ”

Juzang's mother-in-law thought that she had said the wrong thing, so she looked at Wei Yi.

"Mother-in-law," Wei Yi looked at me and Sai Yu, and pulled Mother-in-law Juzang out from behind him, "Mother-in-law, I see that this boy and this girl are not bad people, if you know anything, you might as well tell them." ”

This Wei is also an understanding person.

Mother-in-law Ju Zang lowered her head and rubbed the corners of her gray clothes, "This, this is not just the old slave who saw it......"

A man had come a few days earlier, and since then he has gone out occasionally, and at night the smoke can be seen curling in the courtyard. Because they smell the food, they also attract the poor people in the neighborhood who rely on scavenging to eat.

"It's just that the man is so fierce." Granny Juzang looked at Wei Yi, and then said, "One night, the old slave was so hungry that he couldn't find anything to eat for two days, so he just walked around and saw someone leaning outside this courtyard and begging for a bite to eat. The man inside was very vicious, not only told the person who wanted to eat to get out, but also took a stick and came out......"

"The people inside? Is it the one who died in this house today? I asked.

Juzang's mother-in-law thought for a while, "I don't know, I didn't see it clearly, it's too dark." The old slave, an old woman, didn't leave quickly when she saw the beating. ”

In other words, she was not sure if the man who drove the poor who came to pray for food in this house was the man who died in the house today.

"Did you find anything else later?" I think that since the poor people around me know that there is a person who lives here every night, they must have paid attention to it. Although the law and order in Zheng Guo is good, there are also many poor people, and people who are extremely hungry may want to plunder food by robbing.

Mother-in-law Juzang is a little weak-hearted. "This ......"

Wei Yi looked at her and said, "I've heard my mother-in-law mention this matter in my last life. In fact, when the last life was in the city, he would get some food for his mother-in-law to eat together. It's just that in order to make a living, she often goes out, and her mother-in-law will find something to eat by herself when she is hungry. She told Mosheng that one night when she was very hungry, she wanted to come here to ask for a bite to eat, and it happened that she saw that there was already a poor person in the neighborhood who had come to ask for food from the people who lived here, and the man not only did not give it, but also scolded her, and threatened her mother-in-law with a stick, which frightened her mother-in-law. When the mother-in-law returned, she told the last life about it. ”

After hearing this, Sai Yu and I looked at Granny Juzang for confirmation, and Granny Juzang nodded timidly.

"It's just that later, the last life heard about something that happened around here." Wei Yi replied generously, "Most of this area is inhabited, but further north, there are some poor people living in the area." This year's harvest is not good, not to mention the poor in the city, and even the eunuchs have a lot less food. Poor people can do anything to survive......"

One night, some of the big men in the poor man's village agreed that they would come here to grab some food, and go back to let the women and children of the family have something to eat. They thought to themselves that this was the only place to live, and there was always nothing to worry about when a few people came together. Four or five men got together and attacked at night.

But I didn't expect that the people who lived here were very powerful, and one person beat away four or five of them in a few clicks.

"That one has a sword, and he wounded the poor over there." Ju Zang's mother-in-law said that seeing that Wei Ye had told everything, she had nothing to fear. "By the way, this man went out more than a month ago, and when he came back, he was sent back by a carriage...... Surely some great grown-up. If anything else, the old slave really doesn't know......"

Carriage? I have more and more questions in my heart now, and I can only look at Sai Yu to see if he has anything else he wants to ask.

"Okay, let's take them down to rest first." Sacrifice Yu commanded the people on the left and right.

"Girl." As soon as Granny Juzang heard that she was going to take them down, she hurriedly grabbed my sleeve.

Her sudden move startled Wei Yi next to her, and he stepped forward to pull her away. "Girl, childe, don't you mind......"

It turned out that Wei was also worried, and I would be angry that this mother-in-law Juzang had soiled my sleeves with one of her hands.

"Girl, the old slave has told you so much, can you give me a stuttering ......" That's why she caught me off guard.

"Now I am also staying at this son's house," I was helpless, now I really have nothing, so I turned to the priest Yu and said, "I wonder if this son can be kind enough to give the old man a little food." ”

Sai Yu was slightly stunned, and then said to the people around him, "Take some dry food for this mother-in-law." ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, girl...... You're all good people...... "When Granny Juzang heard that the priest had asked them to give them something to eat, she was overjoyed and bowed to the ground.

"Mother-in-law, get up." Sai Yu helped her up and told Wei Yi, "Take the old man back first." ”

"Yes." Wei also picked up Ju Zang's mother-in-law and walked out.

"What do you think?" I turned to the side and asked.

"Granny Juzang said that this person should have a sword." Sure enough, Sai Yu noticed this, too, "But the messenger who came after receiving the news didn't find anything in this room. ”

"That's right." I inadvertently turned around, glanced out the door, and found that Na Wei was standing at the door waiting with Juzang's mother-in-law, and when he saw me turn around, he waved his hand at me, and then helped Juzang's mother-in-law to leave.
