June 20, the beginning of the month.

Wei Chang and Qi Qi had already sat in the hall of the Huang family and started a new round of interrogation, this time Wei Chang wanted to ask the details of Old Man Huang's recent life clearly. In addition to Huang Qiuhua, including the housekeeper and the personal maid, Wei Chang asked one by one. Regrettably, not a single detail is noteworthy.

One thing that is clear to everyone is that Huang Daotong was very healthy before he was poisoned, and he did not look like a sixty-year-old man, he walked, talked, and ran errands, and he was completely in the state of a middle-aged person, unless at night, his eyes could not see clearly. Other than that, there is basically no chance that he can be poisoned.

But the old man has long insisted on not eating at noon. When the sun went down, he didn't even drink tea. But even if he drank it, how could mercury taste the same as tea? Therefore, it is impossible for a normal person to drink a glass of mercury into his stomach.

But what if someone took advantage of the evening and someone he trusted very much told him that it was a cup of medicine for eye diseases?

The old man can't see things clearly, and he trusts this person very much, so it is possible to take the initiative to drink it, and naturally there will be no trace of being forced.

Wei Chang asked, "On the night of the banquet, did Master Huang drink tea?" "

Butler Huang Fu said: "I remember very clearly, that day the old man said that he was too full at noon, and he didn't eat or drink anything in the afternoon. "

Wei Chang shook his head and said: "This is unreasonable, if you eat more at noon and skip meals in the afternoon and evening, this is common, but you don't even drink water, this is unreasonable." "

Huang Fudao: "Our master has this temper, he said that he doesn't eat or drink, and no one can persuade him." "

Wei Chang said: "According to what you say, your master must have been poisoned." "

Huang Fu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Isn't this the reason why I came to you to handle the case?" "

Wei Chang said: "However, there was no trace of a fight at the scene, and the autopsy also said that he had no injuries on his body, so how to explain that he drank a glass of mercury?" Obviously, it can only be suicide. Even if you say that he doesn't eat or drink at night, it doesn't mean that the old man didn't commit suicide. Also, can you accompany the master all day? "

Huang Fudao: "Let the adults say yes, the three of us are really with the master all day long." During the day, Huang Jing and I served him, and at night, Huang Juan served him alone. Especially at night, the lord's vision is not good, and he must not leave an inch. "

At this time, Huang Juan looked very nervous.

Wei Chang asked Huang Juan, "You have been with the master all night?" "

Huang Juan said: "The little gluttony at noon that day turned out to be a little upset ......, so ...... So in the evening, I went to the toilet a few more times. "

Hearing this, Huang Qiuhua, who had never spoken, suddenly said angrily: "Why didn't you say this earlier?" "

Huang Juan immediately knelt down, trembling like chaff: "I didn't dare to say it earlier. "

"Why don't you dare to say, is someone persecuting you?" Huang Qiuhua Road.

"No, I...... I'm just afraid that the eldest young master will punish me...... So...... So ...... "Huang Juan is an old maid, and she has always called Huang Qiuhua the eldest young master."

"Okay, don't talk about it." Huang Qiuhua said sadly: "It seems that the murderer was at home, and while Huang Juan was away, he poured poison on his father. I suddenly felt that there was still such a possibility, Huang Juan always got up at night, disturbed his father's sleep, and woke up in the middle of the night and suddenly felt thirsty, so he called for water. This should be a woman, she can pretend to be Huang Juan, give him 'water' to drink, and end up ingesting mercury by mistake. "

Thinkers

Wei Chang said: "If that's the case, then this person must have prepared mercury first, and he is always waiting near the house, or hiding in the house at all." I don't know if I checked under Mr. Huang's bed that day? "

"Nope." Huang Qiuhua immediately stood up and said, "Then let's go check now?" "

"No need." Wei Chang stretched out his hand into his arms, took out a small box, opened the small box, and pulled out a few hairs, and said, "These are some hairs that I found the day before yesterday when I was looking for mercury in your mansion from room to room. At the time of the post-mortem examination, I compared the old man's hair, and I was sure that only one of the four hairs was his. And the other four are not. "

"How do you see that?" Huang Qiuhua wondered.

"The old man's hair is thick and gray. On the contrary, if you look at the other three hairs, although they are of different thicknesses, the roots of the hair are all thick black. These three hairs are not one person's, as it is clear that one person's hair is healthy; The other had yellowish and split hair; The last one was very short, only a foot long. Wei Chang said, "Now I want to check the hair of the two personal maids and the butler." "

After that, he looked at Huang Qiuhua.

Huang Qiuhua immediately said: "Huang Fu, Huang Jing, Huang Juan, come over and let Master Wei take a look at your hair." "

Hearing this, Huang Jing suddenly trembled, and said nervously: "Oh, how can I solve the case with a single hair, I was born with yellow and split hair, could it be that I hurt the master?" "

Wei Chang smiled and said, "How could I ever say that when you see your hair, you will definitely be able to identify the prisoner?" Don't talk about you, even if I have a time when my hair falls out, if my hair falls there, it means that I killed someone, isn't that nonsense? The reason why I want to look at your hair is not to determine which of the two of you is the murderer, but to see which of these hairs is not yours. "

"Oh, I see, Lord Wei means that it's normal for our hair to appear in the master's house, but if it's not our hair, it's not normal." Huang Jing said worriedly.

"Yes." Wei Chang said.

At this time, Huang Jing was relieved and said, "I said, how can adults not even understand this truth." "

"Hugh is going to talk nonsense." Huang Qiuhua said with an uncertain look on his face: "Let you come, you will come." "

"Yes, sir."

The results of the hair examination are a little regrettable, because these three hairs are the three people in front of them. At that time, Wei Chang found that it was not just these three, but just a representative extracted according to the same type.

These three people often accompany Huang Daotong, and it is normal for hair to fall in his house.

What is even more regrettable is that the only window in the zodiac room where people can be hidden, no other clues have been found, not even footprints. However, Wei Chang still noticed that there were people there. That person must have been in a very uncomfortable position, motionless, and held on for a long time.

The person who can do such a behavior is definitely not these two middle-aged maids, let alone this old housekeeper.

"Could it be a killer group?"

If someone in the Huang family hires a killer to do this, then these problems can be explained, and a killer like Nightingale can completely lie on the ground with his knees and arm crooked eagle's beak and hold on for a long time.

Wei Chang said, "Mr. Huang, I want to ask if anyone in your family has ever contacted the killer group?" "

Huang Qiuhua shuddered and said excitedly: "How is that possible!" Our family is also a noble family, how can we hire a killer to kill our master? "

When Huang Qiuhua spoke, some eyes dodged. Wei Chang saw this.

"I believe that Mr. Huang will naturally not do such a thing, and there is no way to contact the killer group, but your three sons ......" Wei Chang stopped when he wanted to speak.

"That's not possible." Huang Qiuhua looked a little angry

Bad: "The three dogs, although they don't learn and don't know how to do it, they won't get to that step in the field." I dare to pack tickets, they will never do it. "

Huang Qiuhua seemed very uncooperative with this question, which is understandable, Wei Chang didn't continue to ask. He decided to go to the South Lane of Dongshi and talk to Lao Lin.

Then he left the Huang family and went straight to Dongshi.

Qi Qi looked a little relaxed, and it seemed that she, like Wei Chang, would feel depressed when she stayed in the Huang family.

"It's the fourth day, and there are no eyebrows at all, and one more person has died, so you don't seem to be in a hurry at all." Wei Chang quipped.

Qi Qi snorted lightly: "What's there to worry about, this case is not easy for anyone." "

"Oh, yes." Wei Chang said in a tone like a teacher educating a child: "If you think so, your heart will become broad, and you can live to be a hundred years old." "

Qi Qi had long been accustomed to Wei Chang's dead virtue, and she was not angry, and continued to stride towards Dongshi.

"Lao Lin, come and drink." Wei Chang brought two roast chickens and a pot of Fenjiu.

The children in the store put the wine vessels, cups and plates, and Lao Lin walked out slowly.

"Oh, the gust of wind brought you here?" Lao Lin said with a smile.

"Something troublesome." Wei Chang didn't hide it, so he told him about the case he was taking over now, and poured wine for Lao Lin as he spoke.

Lao Lin just picked up the wine glass, put it down again, and said: "Now that Chang'an County and Wannian County Killer Group have been completely split, you ask me about Chang'an County at this time, I have a black eye, and I don't know at all." "

Wei Chang nodded and said, "I've also heard about the two of you. "

Lao Lin said: "When are you going to put the nightingale back?" Now Wang Caotian has asked me a few times, and I have prevaricated. If you stay in Chang'an County any longer, I'm afraid it's not suitable. "

Wei Chang said: "I'll go to her in a while and let her come back to report like you." "

Lao Lin said: "If it's convenient, just help me send a message, and she won't have to come back." "

"What letter?"

"Let her break into Lin Chongyang's group and be a spy for us." Old Lin Hui said with a smile.

Wei Chang thought for a while, then nodded abruptly and said, "Wonderful, wonderful!" But if you asked her to go directly to Lin Chongyang, can people believe her? "

"I have a head here, you take it to her, and then give it to Lin Chongyang." Lao Lin clapped his hands. The boy walked out carrying a wooden box, looking heavy.

"Whose head?"

"Don't ask, anyway, Lin Chongyang will be very happy to see this head. Trust the nightingale from then on. "

……

Leaving Dongshi, and running to Fengyi Fang Flying Donkey Station, the nightingale was like an ordinary woman, sinking her face, and her face still had a faint resentment of hard work.

"How many days have you not seen you, and you have become a resentful woman?" Wei Chang threw the wooden box to her.

Listening to the voice coming from the wooden box, the nightingale was stunned and said, "Who's?" "

Wei Chang said: "Lao Lin asked me to hand it over to you, and he said that you will understand it when you see it." "

The nightingale didn't say a word, but walked away with the wooden box. After a while, she actually changed into a set of clothes and walked out with a wooden box. Said: "It seems that you need to find another person, and I can't come to you again in the future." "

Wei Chang said: "How to contact in the future?" "

"I'll contact you when I stabilize myself." Nightingale said.

"Okay, this will always be your home, and I will ask Miss Shen to leave a room for you." Wei Chang smiled noncommittally.

The nightingale glanced back at the inn, turned her head indifferently, and walked all the way out.
