"Good!" Mrs. Gao immediately instructed the executive's family to bring another dog, and then went to the kitchen to bring a small piece of meat, rolled it in the salt bar a few times, and after dipping it in salt, threw it to the dog to eat.

The dog ate the piece of meat, and after only a few moments, it died of a wailing and foaming convulsions.

Old lady Gao was so angry that her eyebrows were raised: "Sure enough, arsenic was put in the salt jar!" It turned out that this did it! - Come on, hang this and beat it! See if she recruits? ”

"The slave and the maid are wronged! The slave maid has been with the old lady all day, and has not been to the kitchen, how to poison the salt pot! ”

Those stout women were about to come in and tie up people again, Lu Jinping waved his hand and said, "No need!" You can't be persuaded by force! Old lady Gao, don't you want to find the real murderer with sincerity? It's better for me to speak with facts. ”

Old lady Gao nodded and waved her hand to let the mother-in-law out.

Lu Jinping said to Hanyu: "Are you sure you have been wronged? ”

"Yes, sir, the slave is really wronged!" Hanyu said with a white face.

"So that means that the person who pours arsenic in the kitchen salt jar and stirs it with your fingers is really not you?"

"It's not! Absolutely not, the slave has always been with the lady. ”

"If it weren't for you, then there shouldn't be arsenic sticking to your fingernails, so I'm going to sweep the stuff out of your fingernails and find a small animal to test for arsenic. - Because the amount is very small, at least find a poor little animal to test. ”

After that, Lu Jinping asked the servant to bring an ear spoon and a piece of white paper, and carefully took out everything moving between the middle fingers of her right hand. Because the nails are long, they love to be clean in time, and it is inevitable that there will be a lot of things left in the crevices. When you sweep it out, you can clearly see a small amount of white powder.

Seeing this thing, Old Lady Gao's thick eyebrows stood up again, but just now Lu Jinping said that he would do an animal experiment to see if it was arsenic, so he endured it.

Lu Jinping said to Mrs. Gao: "Are there any small animals in your house?" Preferably rats or something. ”

"Of course there are rats in the house, but it's hard to catch them all at once. Well, the kitchen has to have ducklings, okay? ”

"Okay, go grab a duckling, add a little rice and mix the powder in the rice for the ducklings to eat, and see what happens."

The servant quickly caught a newly hatched duckling, and served a small amount of rice with soup in a bowl. Lu Jinping poured the things swept from the gap between the maid's jade nails into the bowl, stirred it, and put it in front of the duckling. The ducklings rattled and ate.

After only a few moments, the duckling staggered and screamed as if drunk, and then slumped to the ground, twitched a few times, and did not move.

The maid Hanyu suddenly collapsed on the ground.

Old lady Gao was furious: "Sure enough, it's you!" Someone, drag her out and beat her to death! ”

The maid Hanyu's mother screamed, turned over and knelt down, crying and shouting for mercy.

Lu Jinping waved his hand and said: "The old lady is angry for the time being, although it is this maid who poisoned her, there must be a murderer behind the scenes!" ”

Old lady Gao's heart sank, and she said, "That's right, say!" Who instructed you? ”

Hanyu was prostrate on the ground, just crying, shaking her head and not speaking.

Old lady Gao was about to call for a hanging, Lu Jinping waved his hand and said, "Let me ask." Lu Jinping asked Hanyu, "When did you poison you?" How is it poisoned? ”

"Yes...... It was the old lady when they were about to come back, everyone went to the door to wait, I secretly went to the kitchen to poison it, and at that time I hadn't started to prepare lunch, so there was no one in the kitchen. I secretly poured a small packet of arsenic into the salt shaker and stirred it with my fingers so that it was mixed up and couldn't be seen......"

Lu Jinping pointed to the paper ball on the coffee table and said, "Is it wrapped in this paper?" ”

Hanyu glanced at it, sobbed and nodded.

"Where did you buy your arsenic from?"

"From the ......, from the ...... The ...... bought by Xue Lang Chinese Medicine Shop"

Lu Jinping said coldly: "You have to think clearly, I have to check it correctly." What if Xue Langzhong said that there was no such thing? ”

Hanyu panicked, looked up at Lu Jinping, lowered his head and said, "I ......, I can't remember, maybe I didn't buy it from him." ”

Lu Jinping asked several times, but Hanyu only said that he couldn't remember where he bought it.

Lu Jinping changed the topic again: "Then why did you poison the medicine jar?" ”

"Miss often scolds us, and I can't get angry, so I poison her......"

"Have you poisoned Miss before?"

The maid Hanyu thought for a while and nodded slowly: "I voted." ”

"How was it poisoned?"

"Well...... when I delivered the food, I quietly poisoned it."

"You mean you deliver food to the inner house?"

"Yes......"

"Really? Are you sure? Lu Jinping asked coldly.

The maid Hanyu sobbed again and bowed her head silently.

Lu Jinping turned his head and instructed the executive's family to call in the chef and two cooks who were in charge of the meals in the inner house. First asked the chef: "In the past few months, you have been in charge of the inner house meals?" ”

"Yes, the little one has been in charge of the inner house meals for many years. It never went wrong. ”

Old lady Gao interjected: "Yes, he is a distant nephew of mine, and he can still be trusted. ”

Lu Jinping nodded and said, "Then let me ask you, in the past few months, have you cooked for Miss together, or alone?" ”

"It's almost all done together. Except for the third aunt who occasionally came to cook after the young lady got sick, they were all sent to the kitchen in small ones. ”

"And who's responsible for delivering the food?"

"It's the two of them. They are the two cooks who are in charge of the small stove in the inner house. ”

Old lady Gao said again: "These two cooks are also relatives, and they can both be trusted. They don't poison. ”

Lu Jinping nodded again, pointed to the maid Hanyu who was kneeling on the ground and asked the chef, "When you were cooking, did she come?" ”

The chef smiled and shook his head: "I haven't been here, the kitchen is full of smoke, she is the maid next to Madame, how can she come to a place like the kitchen." Hey hey"

Lu Jinping turned his head and asked the two cooks: "The meals from the small stove in the inner house are all sent by you?" ”

"Yes."

"Did you deliver it directly to the dinner table, or did the maid from the inner house take over the transfer?"

"We delivered it directly to the dinner table."

"Didn't the maids take it? For example, Hanyu? Lu Jinping pointed to the kneeling maid Hanyu on the ground.

The two cooks shook their heads in unison and said, "No, we sent them directly to the table, and when the food was ready, she accompanied the old lady to dinner." I didn't come to the dining room before. ”

Hanyu, the maid kneeling on the ground, began to tremble and sobbed softly.

Lu Jinping told the chef and the two cooks that they could go out, and after they left, he asked Hanyu, "What do you explain now?" ”

Hanyu shook his head and said, "I remember ...... wrong, I haven't been poisoned before, so I did this ......"

"Did you poison Miss because you hated Miss? Or is it someone else's dictatorship? ”

"It's ......, I poisoned Miss because I held a grudge against her, and no one instructed ......"

"Good! We'll figure out the truth. Lu Jinping said to the executive's family, "Please call the old lady in, I have something to ask her." ”

Soon, Mrs. Gao was called in, as soon as she entered the house, she saw Hanyu, a maid kneeling and crying on the ground, as well as a dead duckling and a small bowl of soup and rice, her face became pale, she bit her red lip lightly, walked over, and gave a blessing to Mrs. Gao: "Master! ", and gave Lu Jinping a blessing: "Sir!"

Lu Jinping said: "You said earlier that you have been in the house, with your maid Hanyu, and have never been to the kitchen, right?" ”

Hearing this question, Mrs. Gao seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and nodded, "That's right." I and the maid Hanyu have been in the house all the time, and we can testify to each other. The mother-in-law outside can also prove that I have not been out of the house. Just now, the old man has already asked one by one, which proves this. ――Why, is there a problem? ”

"I'll tell you the truth, just now, we found that someone put poison arsenic in the salt shaker in the kitchen for cooking in the inner house, I called the maid next to you to interrogate, and it turned out that it was made by your personal maid Hanyu, she confessed that she poisoned the salt shaker and was going to poison Miss Gao......"

"This bitch, it's a damn ......!"

"Wait!" Lu Jinping interrupted Mrs. Gao's words and looked at her with a hint of sarcasm, "Madam, why did I call your people directly for interrogation as soon as I found out that someone had put arsenic in the salt shaker, don't you think it's strange?" ”

Mrs. Gao was stunned and said, "I was about to ask you, why do you directly suspect my people?" ”

"Because you are the real culprit behind the poisoning that I have locked down a long time ago!"
