On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the Criminal Department began to investigate the sixth day of the violent death of Concubine Hui.

Wang Laohu, who got the reply, immediately returned to Dingfu.

This Wang Laohu has been away from Dingfu for six days, as soon as he came back, Ding Daiyun immediately came up, Wang Laohu only told her that she had been out for a few days and was a little tired, and she wanted to rest, so Ding Daiyun prevaricated.

Wang Laohu entered the room.

Feng Sheng, Rong Yu, Pan Tai and others were on their side.

"Childe, how is the investigation of this palace case?" Feng Shengdao.

"It's really a rotten pool in the palace, there are everyone in it, and it's probably not easy for us to investigate it clearly."

"What is the difficulty of Childe?"

"Feng Sheng, I came back this time to bring some brothers into the palace."

"Into the palace?"

"Yes, the emperor has agreed to let me bring someone into the palace to investigate the case of Concubine Hui's violent death."

Feng Sheng thought for a moment and said, "How many people does Childe plan to take?" ”

Wang Laohu was about to speak, suddenly, he felt something strange outside the door, this strangeness was obvious, someone was secretly listening to the conversation of the people in the house, Wang Laohu understood that he had just returned to the house, he was targeted, he glanced at Feng Sheng and others, and said: "I went out this time and visited many places." The temple is built on the top of this mountain, a winding stone path leads from the foot of the mountain to the mountain, the scenery on both sides is beautiful, although it is covered with snow, but the stone wall is steep, towering like a cloud, it is really unforgettable. ”

"Childe, a small outing is full of scenery in Childe's eyes."

"The cliff is overwhelming, and the cane can only be walked. The temple rises to the clouds, and the monks inhabit from the sky. The hermitage is far away, and the ice cave listens to the spring fan. For the quasi-front peak is, the falling peak to the lower. Wang Laohu couldn't help but chant Cao Xuejiao's poem "Shangshan Temple".

Wang Laohu glanced at Rong Yu and said softly: "You go out to scare him and let him retreat." ”

Rong Yu understood, opened the door, and went out to guard the door. The eavesdropper quit with great interest.

"I'd like to hear from you." Wang Laohu said to Feng Sheng.

"I think the emperor is also testing our strength, if there are too many people entering the palace, it will expose our strength, and it will also cause the emperor to be uneasy, if there are too few people who go in, and the investigation is not effective. Childe, I don't think this person is easy to send. ”

"Feng Sheng's analysis makes sense."

Feng Sheng pondered for a moment and said, "If we send the special team in, the people of the special team will be exposed, which will be extremely unfavorable for our next step. ”

"I think so too." Wang Laohu agreed.

"Childe, it's better to send your personal guard into the palace, as a brocade guard, and I will also enter the palace with you, so that we can take care of each other." Feng Shengdao.

"I'm also planning to do this, and this time I'm going to bring personal guards, these personal guards are all selected from the special forces, and their quality is slightly better than that of the special agents. But Feng Sheng, you are still staying in the Ding Mansion, and this Ding Mansion needs you to control it, so I can rest assured. ”

"Childe, are you afraid that someone will come to Dingfu to make trouble?"

"As you all know just now, as soon as I came back, someone took a fancy to me, and the relationship between the people of Dingfu is complicated, and I don't want anything to happen in Dingfu."

"Okay, then I'll stay in the Ding Mansion for the time being and guard the Ding Mansion for my son."

"Feng Sheng, last time you asked you to investigate Miss Ding, how did you investigate?"

"Childe, this Miss Ding seems to be very peaceful, not as you said, are you mistaken."

"She hasn't been in touch with anyone for so many days?"

"No, I went out a few times occasionally, either with her brother or with her maid, and I didn't see her in contact with strangers."

"This eldest lady of the Ding family still has to keep an eye on it." Wang Laohu said.

"Is there anything special going on in the few days I've been away?"

"It's nothing special, but, Childe, in the few days you were away, Miss Jinling came to look for you. I asked her what was the matter, and she didn't say, but I saw that she was in a hurry, as if she was looking for something? ”

"Okay, I got it. Since I have returned, I will go to see my uncle and grandmother, and then go back to the palace at once. ”

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the Criminal Department began to investigate the seventh day of the violent death of Concubine Hui.

Wang Laohu brought four personal guards, plus Pan Tai, Rong Yu, and Lord Cao to form the command center for Concubine Hui's violent death. Wang Laohu, Pan Tai, and Rong Yu entered in the name of the Criminal Department, while the four guards changed into the clothes of Jinyi Guard.

"The emperor is gracious and ordered us to quickly find out the mastermind of Concubine Hui's violent death and find out the murderer behind the scenes. Lord Cao and Pan Tai's team continued to investigate the suspects in the palace; Rong Yu and I were in a group to lure a mysterious person hiding behind the scenes to appear and arrest him; Four personal guards in a group, but two in a small team, operate secretly, monitor all kinds of suspicious people, and arrest mysterious people. "Wang Laohu assigned detailed tasks to each group and dispersed the action.

Wang Laohu and Rong Yu came to the scene of Po Zhu's murder again, which had been cleaned, and the blood stains at the scene were long gone. Wang Laohu's intention to come here is obvious, this mysterious figure appeared here, maybe this mysterious figure will appear today, he is here to try his luck.

But this mysterious figure seems to know that Wang Laohu will look for him again, but he will not appear again.

And so the day passed.

In the evening, Lord Cao came back to exchange the case with Wang Laohu.

"I went out to investigate for a day today, and I got very little information, and it was all information that was almost useless to the case." Lord Cao sat down and sighed.

Wang Laohu said that he was also helpless: "We waited for two hours at the place where the girl was killed, just waiting for that mysterious person, but we waited in vain." ”

"Wang Gongzi, are we handling the case in the wrong direction?" Master Cao couldn't help but doubt himself.

Wang Laohu couldn't help but doubt himself, except for this mysterious figure, these suspects did not leave any flaws. Wang Laochai took out the sachet in his arms, which was found near the scene of Pozhu's murder.

"Wang Gongzi, seeing your sachet reminded me of one thing, today we went to Concubine Rong's place and got a message that the girl had not been to Concubine Rong's bedroom on the day she was killed."

"Haven't been to Concubine Rong's bedroom? This sachet? Wang Laohu recalled what the queen said, "Pozhu, I ordered her to go and get a sachet, and Sister Rong said that someone had given a few new sachets with a pleasant fragrance, so I asked her for one." "Could it be that the queen is lying?

And this sachet? Wang Laohu picked up the sachet and smelled it, there was a faint aroma in the sachet.

"Rong Yu, bring the scissors." Wang Laohu said.

Rong Yu took a pair of scissors, Wang Laohu put the sachet on the table, and cut the sachet along the surrounding thread, there were two packets of spices in the sachet, one was wrapped in red cloth, the red cloth was larger, and the other was wrapped in blue cloth, and the blue cloth was larger.

Why do you pack two packets of spices in a sachet? A trace of doubt flashed through Wang Laohu's mind.

Wang Laohu picked up the scissors again and cut open the small packet of spices in the blue cloth, and there were some fine particles in it, which smelled like cloves, realgar and the like. Master Cao also picked it up and said, "These are some of the ordinary spice fillers of the girl's house. ”

Wang Laohu picked up the scissors again and cut open the red bag of spices, the particles in it were some powder, Wang Laohu sniffed forward, strange, these spices had no smell, Master Cao also smelled, and had the same doubts as Wang Laohu, this sachet does not contain this spice, why is it filled with tasteless powder.

The sachet is generally filled with some Chinese herbal medicine powders with aromatic dehumidification effects, such as cloves, realgar, mugwort leaves, borneol, Huoxiang, Atractylodes atractylodes, etc. But this powder is clearly not. So what are these powders? Why is it hidden in this sachet?

"Lord Cao, do you think these powders are the poison that poisoned Concubine Hui's mother?"

"Wang Gongzi, my thoughts are the same as yours, let's find someone who knows how to verify it, and we can know." Lord Cao's thoughts coincided with Wang Laohu's this time.

Too Hospital.

Lord Cao, Wang Laohu, and an old doctor.

The old lady doctor, looking at the powder carefully, brought it to the table again, took out a magnifying glass and carefully identified it, and then slid her hand on the powder a few times, the old lady put her finger to her nose, sniffed it, and said, "Lord Cao, this thing is called quinine." ”

"Quinine?" Master Cao asked.

"Yes, it's quinine. Quinine can poison people and cause miscarriage in pregnant women. Quinine poisoning can cause headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, visual impairment and other symptoms in mild cases, and severe poisoning often has chills, increased or decreased body temperature, muscle twitches, convulsions, coma and other symptoms, and severe poisoning will lead to death. ”

These symptoms are basically the same as those of Concubine Hui before her death, could it be said that it was quinine that poisoned Concubine Huiniang.
