Chapter 116 Hongling who was burned to death
"She was literally burned. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info After some testing, Xiao Jue turned around and informed us of his conclusions. "But I found signs of being tied up on her wrists and ankles, and I found this in her mouth."
As he spoke, on the coarse cloth that Xiao Jue took out, some silk fiber fragments could be seen.
"This is ......" I didn't dare to make a judgment, so I asked him.
Gaotao took it from Xiao Jue's hand, observed it carefully, and said, "The texture is rough, it's not silk." But it's supposed to be brown......"
"Brown?" I confirmed.
"Yes." Gao Tao was very confident in his judgment of this object, but then he realized that I might not understand, so he explained, "The material of the clothes worn by Miss Huo Xi is brown. It is a cloth made of a mixture of coarse linen and animal hair, which is mostly seen in the clothes worn by civilians, and is a common material for ordinary people, but the texture of this material is rough, heavy, and not warm, and the style is relatively ordinary. ”
I looked down and saw that it was indeed as he said, this dress was still made for me by Shulan at that time, and it was naturally incomparable with the clothes worn by people of some status. I have seen similar content in books, the ancients used the material of clothes to distinguish between rich and poor, and the common people naturally did not wear more than the rich and noble, "but in this case, the brown ...... found in her mouth Was it because someone gagged her with brown? ”
Xiao Jue nodded, "At least, I think so." Although she was burned to death by the fire, she was tied up and gagged before she died, which shows that the intention of the arsonist was already obvious. ”
Indeed, in this way, the arsonist deliberately wanted to burn her.
"Did you find anything over there? Didn't you just go to the yard where she was burned to the ground again? Xiao Jue asked.
"The courtyard is almost burned down, but I found it on a path." I handed him what I had picked up. Burning almost to the point that less than half of the coarse cloth was left, yellow, and the smell was a little weird, I didn't dare to smell it much, for fear of suspicion. "This thing was crushed under a fallen stone pedestal, so this piece was preserved."
"It's a sheep's heel." Xiao Jue sniffed it lightly and knew what the substance was on the coarse cloth.
"What is this? Is it something similar to a miscellaneous? "My judgment seems right.
"Sheep heel, also known as sheep flower, is seen in Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Fujian, Hubei, and even Gaoxin's Dihao, Yin and other places. It mostly grows on hillsides, stone crevices, and bushes. It can be used to treat diseases such as wind phlegm injection pain, rheumatism and paralysis pain, but this substance itself is poisonous, and its toxicity is toxic to the whole plant, and flowers and fruits are the most toxic. Legend has it that the thick juice of the flower is taken with wine, which can make people anesthetized and unconscious. After poisoning, people generally have symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, slow heartbeat, and in severe cases, they will have difficulty breathing, numbness of hands and feet, lethargy, and even death due to respiratory depression. Xiao Jue said.
From this point of view, there is no doubt that what is stained on this coarse cloth is a drug.
"This material is quite similar to the one found in Hongling's mouth." Gao Tao said after comparing the coarse cloth I found with the fiber Xiao Jue found in Hongling's mouth.
Similar?!
"It seems that she was not only gagged, but also drugged." Xiao Jue gave the most reasonable explanation for these two clues.
"It's weird now." I seem to be caught up in a larger problem, "The previous deceased, we deduced that he had two murderers before and after his death, so his murder process became very complicated. So Hongling...... As soon as I suspected that she was one of the murderers who had caused the previous deceased to be killed, Hongling had an accident. But if it is really as I analyzed before, Hongling is one of the two murderers, then the reason for the other murderer who killed Hongling is probably because he wants to kill his mouth, since Hongling was detected by me, so the real murderer can't let Hongling lure him out, so killing Hongling for such a motive is established. But why did he use such a complicated method? ”
If he just wanted to kill Hongling, he could have killed her with one sword, or he could have killed Hongling in a simpler way. But why use such a troublesome method? First knocked Hongling unconscious, then tied her hands and feet, abandoned her in the room, and then lit a fire. I rushed into the fire, and in front of the small courtyard, which had been engulfed in flames, I noticed that the fallen wooden beams had a sticky substance attached to them, similar to oil. However, it should be a flammable material similar to linoleum, and someone deliberately spread it there and then lit it, so that the fire could be instantly ignited and could not be saved. What is the reason why he must be burned to death?
I take a closer look at Hongling, who has been burned to a dry corpse, and I will feel a little sad in my heart, whether she is the murderer of the doctor or not, it should not be such an ending, and if she commits a crime, someone will naturally deal with it on her behalf, and it should never be the end of being poisoned by another murderer.
Now she is burned like this, which is really suffocating.
It was something that looked like a bracelet hanging from her hand that caught my attention. At that time, when she was carried out by the family members who put out the fire, it was by virtue of this certain identity that the family knew this thing, and said that it was given to her by Mrs. Ziliang.
Although the murderer's method of killing Hongling was complicated and confusing for a while, the process of committing the crime was confirmed.
"By the way, how's Sui Que doing?" I remembered another person coming.
"Lord Sui Que has been moved to the remote garden, and is currently under the care of Ting Jian and me, you don't have to worry." Xiao Jue called Gao Tao Tingjian, just as Gao Tao called Xiao Jue his brother, this is their own name.
To be honest, Sui Que can be taken care of by Xiao Jue, I am relieved. "It's just, when are you free to check the injuries of Taiji Yunjin?"
As soon as I spoke, Gao Tao's expression immediately became nervous, and all his attention was focused on Xiao Jue.
Since Xiao Jue came to the courtyard of Sui Que's mansion, he first treated Sui Que for the epidemic and examined two corpses, but until now, he has not mentioned that he wants to visit Yun Jin, which can't help but make me feel a little strange. It's good that they are husband and wife, Yun Jin has undergone such a big change, as Yun Jin's husband, even if he has changed his name and surname now, he can't be so ruthless and ignore it.
"Her illness is in my heart, and I can't cure it." Xiao Jue was silent for a long time before speaking.
is so cold that it really makes people wonder what happened between them.
"It's you," Xiao Jue said again, "and moved to the courtyard where she was being held, so you should be careful with your words and deeds." ”
"Others are concerned?" I immediately thought that it was Mrs. Ziliang and Ji Li, "Oh, actually, it's okay, there are frequent incidents in the palace, and they have long been too busy to take care of themselves, how can they still pay attention to me." It's Yunjin...... Taiji Yunjin, somehow treats me as Xiyue, sometimes sober and sometimes crazy, it seems that there are only two people in her world, she and Xiyue, as if there is no room for others. It's inscrutable. ”
"Tai Ji and Shioduk?" Gao Tao raised his voice slightly.
It seemed that he knew something, so when I mentioned Yun Jin's reaction, Gao Tao's expression was more stunned than surprised.
"What? Do you know something? I asked.
But Gao Tao looked at Xiao Jue, he avoided Xiao Jue's presence, so some words were not easy to say directly, or, he knew those words, but it was difficult to say them because of Xiao Jue.
Xiao Jue put his hand on the wheel, flashed to the side, and turned his back to us. "If it's beneficial for Huo Xi to avenge her grievances, it's okay for you to tell her."
Is this a tacit consent to what Gaotao is going to say next?
Now that he has obtained Xiao Jue's permission, Gao Tao is no longer in a dilemma, and simply said, "Actually, there have been rumors about the matter between Taiji and Xiyue, or because Miss Huo Xi was trapped in the guest house on the day she entered the city, the situation in the city is grim, and people who come and go dare not talk about it, so the girl has never heard anyone else talk about it." ”
After being hung up for a while, I was even more curious about what Gaotao was going to say next.
But at this moment, I glanced at Xiao Jue's back.
"Between Taiji and Xiyue, the ambiguity is abnormal, it seems, beyond the usual aunt-nephew relationship." Gao Tao was very careful when he said this, and he was paying attention to Xiao Jue's reaction.
It's just that Xiao Jue listened to it, but he didn't react at all.
Yunjin and Xiyue? Ambiguous?
Now, this triangular relationship is even more incomprehensible. I thought it was just that Yun Jin and Xiyue were aunts and nephews, Xiyue and Cangshu were lovers, and Yunjin and Cangshu were husband and wife...... But this circular triangle actually added some surprises to the relationship between Yunjin and Xiyue......
"Actually, these can be explained." Gao Tao obviously said this out of consideration for Xiao Jue, "When my brother brought Xiyue back to the Fuying clan, Xiyue was still young, and most of the people in the courtyard of Lord Sui Que would be afraid of Mrs. Ziliang and alienate Xiyue, who had a humble status. Tai Ji and Xi Yue are about the same age, so it can be understood that when the two get closer, it is inevitable that they will play together in the same residence, so that people with intentions can use it and make a big fuss. ”
No, it's not just because we eat, live and play together, it's a bit closer.
Looking back now, Yun Jin is so to Xiyue, not only because of family affection, it seems that for her, Xiyue is more like the only sustenance of life. And when I learned about this matter from Gaotao today, it once again reminded me of what I said when Emperor Yu entrusted me to investigate Yunjin's case. If Yun Jin really wanted to resurrect Xiyue, so the great crime of rebellion she committed could make her do this without hesitation, I am afraid that kind of feelings would have already transcended her relatives.
So, is Yunjin really in love with Xiyue?
Because his wife loves his lover, will the relationship between Xiao Jue and Yun Jin become so cold?
Before, Xiao Jue also said about Yun Jin's matter, and she should bear the consequences for what she has done, so Xiao Jue should know that after Yun Jin was accused of rebellion, she tried to resurrect the truth of Xiyue with witchcraft.
Now, many questions are focused on Shiozuki.
The relationship between Xiyue and Mrs. Ziliang, why did Xiyue seduce him? As far as I know, Shizuki was still young when she committed suicide, would she really do such an unscrupulous thing? So what is her relationship with Xiao Jue and Yun Jin?
What's more, Yun Jin was slandered and sent back to the Fuying clan. Does this matter have anything to do with the two lives that happened in the courtyard of the Sui Que Mansion? No matter how you look at it, there is no way not to link these two events, because the timing is too coincidental.
Inevitably, I wonder if there is a bigger conspiracy behind this. It's not just about framing Yun Jin and killing a few people. (To be continued.) )
