When the shock faded a little, Zhu Yan turned his eyes and saw that Yuan Rin didn't mean to make things difficult, so he calmed down a little and asked tentatively, "What do you mean...... Because the manuscript of the poem can show a person's state of mind, so it should be burned? After a pause, she poked her chin and shook her head, muttering, "Xuanqing thinks that she didn't kill herself, right?" ”

It is true that if it is self-destructive, why should Zigui hold the veil with one hand and scratch his face with the other? And where is the knife?

There are many doubts here, and Zhu Yan feels that a woman who can marry into an official eunuch family from the land of wind and moon, and take her little daughter back to the origin to live, this is about a very knowledgeable person, and she shouldn't be so light-hearted, although it is not ruled out that she has been forbearance before, and now that she has learned that her daughter has escaped from the sea of suffering, she feels that she should also be relieved to act like this, but Zhu Yan still feels suspicious.

"Yuan Gongzi." A thick and mellow voice sounded outside the door, Zhou Rong was dressed in cyan clothes, came alone, and when he entered the house, he turned to Zhu Yan again, "Miss Zhu is also here." ”

"I'm sorry to call you so early." Yuan Rin bowed slightly to him.

"You haven't had breakfast yet?" Zhu Yan thought that it was indeed quite early, so he asked for a while, and when he saw Yuan Rin frowning and glancing at her, he hurriedly lowered his eyebrows, and secretly blamed himself for being reckless.

Although there used to be a lot of anatomy classes, and there were people who were late and took breakfast to eat in the dissection room while watching the teacher's real yàn, the ancients still took life and death very seriously, even if someone could really bear to eat something next to the corpse to pad their stomachs. It will also be considered a great disrespect to the deceased, right?

"Ah Yan was frightened just now, and he hasn't recovered yet." Yuan Rin smiled lightly and perfunctory for her, and then led Zhou Rong to the place where the body was parked.

Zhu Yan took advantage of their backs. He stuck out his tongue at Yuan Rin dissatisfied, and turned his head, but saw Guan He guarding the corridor, his eyes falling on him with a smile, and he couldn't help but blush, and hurriedly rubbed over.

Zhou Rong twisted his thick eyebrows to look at the woman, and there were a lot of blood spots splashed on her azure middle coat. There are many shoulders and chests, and there are only a few slight points in the lower part, so you won't notice it if you don't look closely. There was indeed a purple-red scar on the woman's jade-white neck, and looking at the color and the blood stains on her face, it seemed that she had not been dead for long.

"Gongzi just sent someone to urgently summon the old man to come, and also pointed out not to call for a fight. Is it because of ......? ”

"You should know. This person's identity ...... "Yuan Rin took out something wrapped in cotton cloth from his sleeve and handed it to Zhou Rong.

Zhou Rong opened it, and inside was a short dagger stained with blood, in addition to being sharp and exquisite, a thin inscription on the handle attracted his attention at the first time, and after seeing it clearly, he immediately covered the cotton cloth, his expression was a little stiff, and he nodded knowingly when he looked at Yuan Rin. "Thank you Childe for reminding me, then in Childe's opinion. How should this matter be resolved? ”

"It's not too late for you to take another look at this thing and make a decision." Yuan Rin took the letter and handed it to him.

The dagger is engraved with the word "Xu" of a small seal, and with such a delicate and complicated pattern, you don't have to think about it to know that this is what the previous dynasty gave to General Xu, and this thing appears here, it must have an inseparable relationship with Xu's mansion. And the origin of the famous Qin Niangzi Gui in the south of the Yangtze River, he has also heard about it in the past, and this time it is mostly related to the dispute between Zhu Heng's wives and concubines.

I also heard that the Xu Mansion intends to return to Beijing through the marriage this time, and the family is afraid that it will become bigger in the future, since they have the courage to leave the things that prove their identity here, they are probably reminding not to track down this matter, why do they bother to drown in this troubled water?

Zhou Rong looked at Zigui's "suicide note" again, and nodded in admiration, "Mr. Juzhi is really a high wind and bright festival, and even the concubines in the family are so festive." After saying a few words, I suddenly remembered that Yuan was a renegade minister, and his words were originally unintentional by the speaker, but he couldn't guarantee that the listener was intentional, and the hand holding the letter paper trembled unconsciously.

Yuan Rin didn't realize it, and smiled lowly, "You think the same way?" That's also very good, I'll go back with Ah Yan first, and then send someone to your yazhong to claim the body in the afternoon. ”

Zhu Yan has been carefully observing the style of the middle coat on Zigui's body, feeling indescribably familiar, and not wanting to look up, Yuan Rin actually said that he was leaving, and hurriedly reached out to pull his sleeve in a hurry.

"What's wrong? You haven't eaten breakfast yet, so you're hungry. Yuan Rin grabbed her sleeve with her backhand.

"I want to ask one thing." Zhu Yan pursed her lips and turned her head to look for the little girl, "Do you remember this sub-rule...... Girl, what kind of clothes do you wear on top of this set of Chinese clothes on weekdays? ”

"Well, it seems to be a thin jacket that has rained through the sky, there is a string of wisteria on the chest, and most of the flowers below are with white floral pleated skirts, this is Sister Zigui's favorite set of clothes!" The little girl became more and more detailed, and patted her thigh, "By the way, I remember that every time my sister wears this set of clothes, it is when she goes to play "The Resentment of the Immortals"! ”

"The Resentment of the Immortals" is this song again......

Zhu Yan held his forehead, the qin song, the concubine, the portrait, the dead country, and the sub-rules...... Thinking suddenly tied a knot, the country? Sub-gauge? Isn't Zigui's crying of blood just mourning the death of the country? Is that what her name means?

And the outfit depicted by this little girl is very similar to a set of gorgeous half-used clothes in her box, she remembers Xu Suzhen said that those clothes are the things of her father's concubine, are they the things of this sub-rule?

Yuan Rin saw that she was only distracted, glanced at Zhou Rong, and then pulled her away.

"What do you think?" Yuan Rin took her to board the car through the small door in the back, and seeing that she was still thinking, he stretched out his hand and shook it gently in front of her, "Come back to your senses." ”

"I was just thinking...... I'll ......" Zhu Yan shook his head, "Forget it, I'll talk about this matter later." ”

Zhu Yan rubbed his forehead in distress, Dou An's child didn't know if he had come over, and he had to gather his energy to comfort Zhu Qi today, but he didn't even have time to sigh and feel sad.

"Actually, I just examined the corpse." Yuan Rin sat down and reached out to make tea.

Zhu Yan blocked him, skillfully took out the small charcoal, hit the flint and lit the red fire, while pouring water and tea unhurriedly, raising his eyes and glancing at him from time to time, "Since you touched it, or I will make tea." ”

“…… You've had amnesia, but haven't you forgotten? You'll be able to make good tea when you're only five years old. Yuan Rin looked at her with furrowed eyebrows, as if he wanted to see something in her hidden eyes.

"There are some things, unless you die...... Zhu Yan choked and chuckled, "Maybe you won't forget it even if you die once." ”

Yuan Rin was silent for a moment and changed the topic, "Just now I checked the body of that Zigui girl and found that the scars on her neck were indeed intersecting. ”

Zhu Yan bit her lower lip, she didn't study forensic medicine, but she had learned Song Ci's "Collection of Grievances" in the course of medical history, and the important point in it was to use the "eight-character communication" and "herringbone communication" of the hangings to determine whether a person was hanged to death or was strangled to death and pretended to be a hanging beam. From this point of view, could it be that Cheng Zigui really hanged himself? But what Yuan Rin meant just now, didn't he mean ......?

"She's probably drugged somewhere." Yuan Rin whispered his guess.

"...... medicine?" Zhu Yan blinked, in this Jiangnan town, apart from himself and Yuan Rin, is there anyone who is interested in pharmaceuticals? After thinking about it, I suddenly remembered one thing vaguely, and I was scared cold.

"Don't be afraid, I won't let her hurt you." Yuan Rin patted her comfortingly.

Zhu Yan settled down, buried his head and sighed gently, "Do you know who I thought of?" ”

"Xu Silk Zhen." Yuan Rin held her trembling hand to prevent her from spilling the boiling water in the pot.

She ...... She ......" Zhu Yan closed her eyes and remembered carefully.

The first time poison was mentioned, it seems that it was when Xu Suzhen taught her to know herbal medicine for a year, and Xu Suzhen said at that time that this thing is very effective in detoxifying snake venom when mashed.

The second time was when Bai Apple was poisoned in Xu's Mansion, she could only vaguely judge that Bai Apple was poisoned, but Yuan Rin and Xu Silk Zhen both immediately recognized that it was Aconite, and it seemed that Xu Silk Zhen's attainments in this area were far higher than herself.

"If you want to kill her, you have to act like you're committing suicide, you ...... What would you do? Zhu Yan trembled, while carefully straining the tea into the fair cup.

"It's simple." Yuan Rin moved closer to her and smiled in a low voice, "Just use some hallucinogenic drugs first, so that Zigui will lose the ability to resist, but he will not die." ”

"Looking at the situation in the room, it should be poisoned by burning incense, at that time, Zigui had already put on her outer clothes and was going to sleep in only her middle clothes, but when she heard the sound, she turned back and lifted the veil to see clearly."

Zhu Yan's face turned pale, he said as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and his voice trembled more and more, "That...... And then? It was at this time that the murderer stepped forward and slashed her cheek? ”

"Not bad." Yuan Rin raised his eyes, those knives were extremely heavy, and some even hit deep holes in the cheekbones, the person who did it was really ruthless, or hated Zigui very much, "Even if a person is planted with hallucinogenic drugs, he will definitely resist if he is hurt so badly, but the murderer obviously knocked her out immediately with the medicine, and then immediately hung her on the beam, causing the scene of the suicide." ”

“…… But what about the suicide note? Zhu Yan blinked, "I remember that little girl said that it was indeed Zigui's handwriting?" ”

"Handwriting can be learned, if you don't find your own handwriting and compare it yourself, can you be sure that it is really written by her own hand?" Yuan Rin shook his head.

Zhu Yan suddenly said, "So, burning the poems, calligraphy and paintings, is it also for this consideration?" So, the letter must have been written by the murderer, so wouldn't you know if you compare it with someone? ”

"What if the murderer gives the impression that he can't write?" Yuan Rin pursed her lips.

Zhu Yan choked, yes, if the murderer never wrote on weekdays, who could doubt him?

"You...... Do you still think my mother did it? ”

"That's the proof." Yuan Rin took the incense cup she handed over, "Don't you want to believe the facts?" ”

Zhu Yan lowered her head to smell the elegant fragrance of tea, the water vapor came to her face, and she felt that a layer of mist had formed in her eyes, and it fell into the cup, splashing a little ripple, "I want to hear her admit it herself." (To be continued......)
