When Madame saw Meng Tianchu say this, her face changed, and she said, "I... I'm going to kill her, I don't know if the second lady was poisoned, I thought..."

Meng Tianchu said: "Do you still think you have a hypothesis? Haha, don't you think it's ridiculous when you say that, lady? Others can be deceived if they don't understand nature, but just because you have been proficient in science for decades, what kind of hypothesis do you still tell me, don't you think you can't talk about it? ”

The eldest lady was stopped by Meng Tianchu, and stammered, "Anyway, I won't kill her." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Since you can see that the second lady was poisoned, why didn't you save her when you saw death that day?" You must know who poisoned her, first, you don't want to care, and second, you don't dare to care. Three, the person who poisoned you is yourself. ”

Seeing Meng Tianchu's aggressive appearance, the eldest lady leaned back, leaned against the cold earthen wall, like a deflated ball, and said, "The person who poisoned me is not me. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "I don't think anyone other than you will find out exactly what is edible and what arsenic is from your more than 100 bottles, not to mention, the second lady eats more than one kind of arsenic." ”

The eldest lady looked sluggish, like an eggplant beaten by frost, and after a long silence, she finally said weakly: "Well, I have nothing to say, I admit it, I killed people, and I did everything." ”

Meng Tianchu didn't expect her to admit it so quickly, and he seemed to be very desperate when he saw her.

Meng Tianchu turned to look at Murong Yuxue and Zhu Hao. They looked at each other for a moment, then turned to look at the eldest lady and said, "So, why did you kill those two children?" How did you kill those two kids? ”

The eldest lady thought for a moment and said, "What's the reason, it's not pleasing to the eye." If you don't like it, you'll kill it. As for how to kill them, it was actually very easy, and after I had left me that day, I went up from behind the fourth lady's building with light skills, strangled two of them, and then hung them on the beams of the house.

Meng Tianchu saw that the eldest lady said the whole process so lightly. So he asked, "Then why didn't everyone hear the child's cry?" ”

The eldest lady said, "I covered one with my hand, and then the other." ”

Meng Tianchu then asked, "Then how did you hang the two children on the beams of the house?" ”

The eldest lady said: "It's easy, it's not a problem with my kung fu, just tie one on one side, and then step on the stool and drop one of them over the beam." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "What about the second lady, why did you kill her?" ”

The eldest lady said: "We have always been at odds, everyone knows, I killed someone, I always have to find a substitute ghost." So, I poisoned the tea she drank, and when I saw that she wasn't dead, I added arsenic to her and her tea, and that's it. ”

Meng Tianchu stood up and looked at the eldest lady. Then he said to Murong Zhenxue and Zhu Hao: "Okay, let's stop here today, let's go back first." Ask the jailer to bring a brazier to the eldest lady. ”

After saying that, she walked out of the door, and when the eldest lady saw them gone, she let out a long breath, and continued to close her eyes, and muttered words in her mouth.

Three men walked out of their cells. The sky was still gloomy, but the snow had fallen, and a few crows were hovering in the sky, and from time to time they let out a few lonely calls.

Meng Tianchu looked up at the sky. Silent, Murong Zhenxue and Zhu Hao glanced at each other, and when they saw Meng Tianchu's expression, they felt that they couldn't see his soothing expression at all.

Murong Xue said: "You can also go back and rest, you have been tired in the past few days, and now that the case is clear, you should go back and sleep well." ”

Meng Tianchu looked at Murong Zhenxue, his eyes were very strange, Murong Zhenxue asked, "What do you do with me like this?" I don't have any flowers on my face. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "You can tell me now who the murderer you have always suspected is." ”

Murong Yuxue said proudly: "Naturally, it's the eldest lady. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Why? ”

Murong Xue said: "That's very simple, it's the same as what you analyzed for us before, I can't have children, and naturally I don't want to see other women give birth, and there are so many bottles in her room, and there are no labels written on them, who knows which bottle is what, who else knows besides her." You always say that there must be a reason to kill people, and she has a good reason to kill people. ”

Meng Tianchu looked at Zhu Hao, and Zhu Hao said, "Don't look at me, I'm not good at solving cases." I don't know how to say like Miss Murong, and I can't analyze it. Anyway, she admits that it is, so isn't it okay? ”

Meng Tianchu looked up to the sky and laughed, and Murong Zhenxue and Zhu on the side

He was confused.

—

Meng Tianchu said slowly: "Actually, before this, I really didn't know who the murderer was, I said, I think many of you have hinted to me, saying that you already know who the murderer is, but now I find out that I also know who the murderer is." I just don't know what the murderer's motive is. ”

Murong Yuxue said, "What do you mean?" I couldn't understand it anymore. ”

Meng Tianchu said to himself: "Yes, in the end, when I found out who the murderer was, I wondered, what was his motive? He was the least motivated to kill. That's probably why we haven't thought about him all along. But why is he? ”

Murong Zhenxue saw Meng Tianchu's appearance, as if he had some kind of magic barrier, and he didn't dare to say anything, but just stood outside with him to blow the wind.

At this time, Wang Yi came over, and when he saw the three of them blowing the wind outside, they were shivering one by one, so he said with a smile: "Is it too hot in the cell?" You're going to have to come out and blow the wind. I heard from the jailer that the eldest lady had already admitted that she had done it, so could someone else put it back first? ”

When Meng Tianchu heard this, he said, "Why is the jailer's mouth so fast? Let them all shut up for me. What to put it, I don't know who the murderer is, let the person go, let the murderer run, you go to catch it? ”

When Wang Yi saw Meng Tianchu say this, he didn't understand, so he said, "Didn't you say that the eldest lady has already admitted it?" ”

Meng Tianchu didn't speak, and walked to the room where the jailer was resting, and the three of them also followed in.

Meng Tianchu sat down closest to the brazier, put his hands on top of the brazier and roasted, saw that they all came in, and then asked Wang Yi to close the door.

Murong Yuxue smiled and said, "I thought you weren't cold. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "I just want to sober myself up and think about what link made me miss." ”

Murong Xue said: "Do you mean that the real murderer is not the eldest lady?" ”

Meng Tianchu said: "If you think about it carefully, what the eldest lady said just now has too many loopholes, if this condemns her, then we are incompetent." ”

Murong Xue said: "Then who do you say is the real murderer?" ”

Meng Tianchu said: "I didn't know before, but then the eldest lady told me. ”

Murong Yuxue said in surprise: "Is there one? I've been taking notes, why haven't I heard? Uncle Zhu, did you hear that? ”

Zhu Hao thought about it carefully, shook his head, and said, "I didn't hear it either." ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Let's not talk about who the murderer is, let's look at the murder process that the eldest lady told us." First, she said that she covered her two children to death with her hands, but you have followed it for so many years, and you also know the most basic common sense, and the person who covers the death will have obvious symptoms of hypoxia..."

Before Meng Tianchu finished speaking, Murong Zhenxue interjected as if he understood: "Yes, Master, you said before, covering death is a simple death of hypoxia suffocation, and this feature of the face will be obvious, but the child does not have this characteristic." ”

Meng Tianchu nodded and smiled: "Xue Xue sees it very accurately!" ”

Murong Yuxue was a little proud.

Meng Tianchu continued: "When we dissected the bodies of the two children, we did not find any signs that the children were killed first, if they were killed first, then the children's bodies would naturally tell us this fact, which shows that she told the first lie." ”

Wang Yi asked, "What about the second lie?" ”

Meng Tianchu didn't answer, as if he remembered something, he immediately said to Wang Yi: "You go and do two things, one is to find two people to take care of the eldest lady day and night, strictly inspect the food she eats, and report to me quickly if there is anything unusual; The second is to completely block the matter of the eldest lady admitting to killing, and not to reveal half a word to the people in the cell. ”

Wang Yi listened and hurried out.

Meng Tianchu said: "Next, we told her second lie, that is, she said that she stepped on a stool and hung the two children up, in her words, she has kung fu, which is not difficult for her, but she is not a murderer after all, she doesn't know that the only chair we saw in the fourth lady's room that day was also broken, and Wang Yi almost fell off when he stepped on it, I don't know if you remember." ”

Zhu Hao said: "I remember, it was Miss Murong who came to help at that time. Murong Yuxue on the side also nodded.

Meng Tianchu said: "That's right, the more she understates it, the more it shows that she doesn't know the specific situation at all, and she can only understate it." ”

Murong Xue said: "Then since she is not a murderer, why should she admit it?"
