Lin Qingyuan said: "I checked Gu Haichen's body and can confirm that he was poisoned to death. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Xie Bing was surprised: "Is this really the case?" So who does it know who the murderer is? ”

Lin Qingyuan muttered: "The current clues are not enough to prove who the murderer is, but since we know that the deceased belonged to him, we can start from Gu Haichen's side, follow the vine, and find other useful clues." ”

"That's it. Then we'll go to Gu Haichen's house now. Xie Bing agreed.

Then, Xie Bing took a few officials and Lin Qingyuan to prepare to visit Gu Haichen's home. Just as they came out of the yamen, a familiar figure ran over in the distance, wearing an official uniform and looking heroic, and asked, "Brother Bing, are you going to handle the case?" ”

Xie Bing and Lin Qingyuan were both shocked, it was not Bai Zhiruo or who came!

"Zhiruo? If you don't take care of your injuries at home, what are you doing in the yamen? Xie Bing said with some reproach.

And when Lin Qingyuan saw Bai Zhiruo, his eyes were a little excited, he still vividly remembered the scene of her sacrificing her life to save her life in the bamboo forest that day, it can be said that now the man's wife has become his own life-saving benefactor, and he has the grace to save his life.

"It's just a minor injury, it's not a big deal." Bai Zhiruo said nonchalantly, when she saw Lin Qingyuan staring at her on the side, she also remembered the scene of going through danger with him, and suddenly became angry and annoyed: "Hey, stupid, you see believe it or not, I'll gouge out your eyeballs." Hum! ”

He laughed: "How can we be regarded as comrades-in-arms in life and death, isn't it okay to take a few more glances at our comrades-in-arms." Although Bai Zhiruo has a very bad temper, she is very arrogant and does her own thing, and she does not take it lightly or seriously, but this is also another manifestation of her frank personality and full of sense of justice.

Bai Zhiruo's face turned red, and she said angrily: "Who, who wants to live and die with you, blind, nonsense!" But she thought about it for a while, recalled the scenes in the bamboo forest, and couldn't help asking, "By the way, how did you escape from that person after I passed out?" ”

"This..." Lin Qingyuan didn't dare to answer truthfully, in case the fairy in white knew about it and came back to seek revenge, it would not be a matter of minutes to use her peerless martial arts to kill herself! He thought for a moment and said, "After you fainted, I thought I would not escape death, so I shouted for help. The scarface said, "It's useless for me to cut my throat." Then I screamed and broke my throat, and then the wind blew them away. ”

Bai Zhiruo and Xie Bing both gave him a big roll of the eyes after hearing this, this kind of bad reason is that we are three-year-olds, but since Lin Qingyuan deliberately avoided it, it was difficult for them to insist on it as outsiders, so they had to give up.

When the group came to Gu Haichen's house, it was a woman who opened the door. In ancient times, the common people were afraid of seeing officials, and the women were a little flustered when they saw the officials coming, but they couldn't dodge, so they had to accompany them with a smile and be courteous.

Lin Qingyuan glanced at the woman, although she was already a half-old, she still had a bit of a look, she was carrying a burden at the moment, and it seemed that she was going out.

Xie Bing asked, "Is this Gu Haichen's home?" The woman nodded hurriedly, and said cautiously: "I am his wife Xu, all the officials, is there anything wrong?" ”

Bai Zhiruo looked at her and said, "Your father-in-law was found dead in the dry well of the school, and we are here to investigate this matter. ”

The Xu family was stunned and puzzled: "Didn't he fall into the well and die, what else is he investigating?" ”

"Because we suspect that he did not fall into a well and died, but was poisoned to death." Bai Zhiruo pressed the saber and replied.

"Ahh When Xu Shi heard this, his face changed, and he suddenly seemed to be distracted. Lin Qingyuan looked at her outfit and asked, "Are you going out?" ”

"I... I.. Xu Shi said "I" for a long time, and he didn't say why.

"Gu's mother just lost her beloved son and was sick in bed, but as a daughter-in-law, you are going to go far away at this time, aren't you afraid of losing your wife and leaving the handle?" Lin Qingyuan asked sharply.

The Xu family replied in a panic: "I... My mother is seriously ill. I want to go back and see. ”

Lin Qingyuan smiled coldly: "You just came back from your mother's house today, right?" If your mother is seriously ill, how can you rush back? Don't you be a thief, right? ”

Xu Shi ran down in a cold sweat, and didn't dare to speak again, for fear of letting this man grab the handle again. Lin Qingyuan snorted coldly, he was not kind to ungrateful people, and if he came again, the Xu family even planned to leave his mother-in-law in bed, which made Lin Qingyuan even more disappointed.

Xie Bing was also no longer polite to the Xu family, and asked in a cold voice, "Where is Gu Haichen's room?" Take us there! ”

Xu had no choice but to bend his waist and lead them to the low bungalow in the backyard, and said, "He and I live here." ”

Lin Qingyuan pondered for a while, and said to Bai Zhiruo: "Man, go and visit the Zhong family." Brother Xie and I went in first. Bai Zhiruo's eyebrows were upside down, and she glared: "Who do you say is a man's wife, are you undergoing a beating again?" ”

"Hehe, don't be angry, I'm just kidding." Lin Qingyuan smiled, and said to Bai Zhiruo's face that changed for a while, he was speechless, people are so smart, why is his temper so stinky?

Xie Bing said: "Okay, don't talk about the two of you, Zhiruo, you will listen to Brother Lin in the future, do you know?" ”

Hmph, Bai Zhiruo glanced at him, and then reluctantly turned around and walked out of the backyard.

After she left, Lin Qingyuan walked into the room first. The room was dark and damp, and the ground was wet with melted snow water running through the cracks in the door.

The room was very basic, with a bed against the wall inside. The futon was very damp to the touch, emitting a musty smell, and there was a small package next to the bed, which Yang Qiuchi carefully untied.

There were only a few robes inside. There is also a string of dozens of copper coins threaded with hemp rope.

There was a table and a bench by the window, one leg of the bench was about to fall off, and there was a dilapidated wooden basin on the edge of the table, and a towel that was already black and smelly, which could see how poor Gu Haichen's life was during his lifetime.

There was a porcelain bowl on the table, and there was half a bowl of cold water in it. There is a half-cut steamed bun next to it, and I don't know how many days ago. It was as hard as a stone, there was still half a bowl of porridge on the table, and there were still two or three pickles left in a broken porcelain plate.

Yang Qiuchi pointed to the steamed buns, porridge and pickles on the table and asked, "Does Gu Haichen eat these for every meal at home?" ”

Xu nodded: "Yes." He has chest tightness and shortness of breath for the past few days, and he has been on a fire so much that he can't eat anything. Therefore, I can only drink porridge and eat steamed buns every day, and I only drink porridge and eat pickles at every meal. ”

Will it be food poisoning? Lin Qingyuan stared at the half of the steamed bun, the porridge and the two or three pickles, no, if the food is not fresh and spoiled, causing foodborne diseases, this disease is generally just a gastrointestinal disease. However, could someone poison the food?
