The flame rose, the cook's face softened a lot, and after thanking Li Canghai, he said: "That night I was cooking, Lingji came with a bag of herbs, saying that the princess was unwell and often woke up from nightmares, and asked me to boil this medicine and send it to the shrine with dinner, and asked me not to tell anyone, especially Lord Conan, about this. ”

"Why is that?" Li Canghai asked.

"Lingji said that this was the princess's order, saying that Lord Conan had to deal with many things, and there was no need to tell Lord Conan about this little thing, so as not to worry Lord Conan." The cook said.

Li Canghai sighed, then looked down at the slag in his hand and fell into deep thought.

He put the dregs in his hands and examined them carefully, they were not just a single medicine, but contained a variety of medicinal herbs.

Li Canghai is not a doctor, but he has read many medical books and is more familiar with medical science.

After knowing these medicinal materials, he also knew the effect of this medicine.

Immediately, a guess came to his mind, and he suddenly realized, as if he had figured out something, and whispered to himself: "I see, this must be a deal between you, right?" ”

After carefully putting away the dregs, Li Canghai left the backyard, found the fat and thin two guards and asked each of them about it, before returning to the place where the man was tied.

Conan didn't kill the man, he just knocked him unconscious.

Li Canghai walked over and said to Conan: "Brother Conan, I bother you to gather everyone over, just say that I have found out the murderer of the princess, and I want to expose him in public!" ”

Conan looked at him in surprise and said in disbelief, "Brother Li, is this true?" Did you really find the murderer? Tell me, who is so bold? But this one? ”

Li Canghai smiled indifferently at him and said, "Brother Conan, don't panic, you'll know later." ”

Conan saw that he was very confident, so he asked no more questions, and immediately ordered everyone to be informed.

It didn't take long for everyone to gather in one place.

Seeing that the number of people was complete, Conan said, "Brother Li, everyone has already come here, can you talk about it now?" ”

Li Canghai nodded, he coughed, and said loudly: "I called everyone here today to explain the death of the princess to everyone. The body of the princess was found in a swamp that was full of poisonous snakes, and the princess was indeed poisoned by the snake, so on the surface, it seems that the princess ran to the swamp and was bitten to death by the poisonous snake. However, I will say that the princess was murdered and died, and the murderer is in this shrine! ”

When everyone heard this, they all showed different expressions, and the cook stared at him, and his face was sad, and he seemed to be very loyal. The fat guard took out half a piece of wild vegetable cake from his bosom and muttered to himself as he nibbled into his mouth. The thin guard was still surprisingly lazy, sitting on the ground casually, tilting his head and dozing off.

Among all the people, the most stunned person was none other than Lingji. Her apricot eyes were slightly closed, her face was full of sadness, and she said in disbelief: "How is this possible? Who would be so bold as to murder the princess? ”

Li Canghai glanced at her and said, "The princess's death seems to be an accident, but it is actually a long-planned murder!" Since the discovery of the princess's body, Brother Conan and I have examined the princess, and it turned out that the princess had been poisoned by a snake and died, but there were no signs of a poisonous snake bite on her body. ”

"I didn't have a bite wound, but I was poisoned by a snake and died? What's going on? Lingji asked, confused.

"Because the princess was not bitten to death by a poisonous snake, but died after eating a poisonous snake soup!" Conan's face was a little gloomy.

"Snake soup?" Lingji was stunned for a moment, she suddenly looked at the cook, closed her mouth in surprise, and said, "Could it be that you hurt the princess?" ”

When the cook saw this, he immediately cried out, "I didn't know that snake soup was poisonous!" If I knew that those were poisonous snakes, I would have given me a hundred guts, and I would not dare to take the snake soup to the princess to eat! If you talk about the murderer, I think the most suspicious one is the fat man! He knew it was a poisonous snake, but he didn't make it clear to me, he clearly wanted to frame me! ”

The fat guard, who was munching on the wild vegetable cakes, was suddenly stunned, he was furious, pointed at the cook and scolded, "What did you say? Am I a murderer? There is a snake in the swamp, and I also heard what Ye Bijun said, and you actually said that I was a murderer? I think you're the murderer! As a cook, do you know how to identify a poisonous snake? You think about gold, silver and jewelry all day long, you must have a bad plan, and the princess found out, so you killed the princess with snake soup! ”

"Nonsense!" The cook glared and said angrily: "The murderer is clearly you!" You killed the princess, but you want to frame me and Nobi-kun, you're a bastard! ”

The fat guard was a little annoyed, he kicked at the thin guard, and said, "You tell me that there are snakes in the swamp, and you can do snake soup, but you told me!" ”

The thin guard screamed in pain from the kick, and said lazily, "Yes, I said it." But that's what Lingji told me! ”

Lingji was stunned, and she said a little dazedly: "Yebijun, are you sleepy?" When did I say this to you? ”

The thin guard tilted his head, thought for a while, and said to himself, "It was early the morning before yesterday?" Or did it come the night before? ”

"Nobi-kun, are you mistaken? I have been serving the princess for more than ten years, and no one knows her eating habits better than I do. The princess never eats snake soup, how can I let the cook make snake soup? Also, I've never left the shrine, so how do I know if there's a snake in the swamp east of the shrine? Lingji said.

When the thin guard heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, he was already a little confused, but at this time he was even more confused, and said to himself: "It seems to be like this? Am I dreaming? ”

Everyone was speechless for a while, and they all shook their heads secretly, their hearts full of contempt for the thin guard, who was not only lazy but also talked nonsense.

Several people blamed each other, making this already complicated case even more confusing.

"Brother Li, since you know the truth, just say it directly, so that they don't have to blame each other again!" Conan said.

Li Canghai nodded and said, "Everyone, please be quiet, who killed the murderer, after I tell it, everyone will naturally know." But to find out who the murderer is, you must first know how the murderer killed the princess. Only by making the murderer's murderous methods public can the murderer be unable to deny it. "Didn't the princess be poisoned by poisonous snake soup?" What other modus operandi is there? Wanyu asked puzzled.

Li Canghai shook his head and said, "Although the princess's fatal cause of death was poisoning, there are many things involved. It has to be said that the murderer's murder modus operandi is unique, because the murderer designed everything, he took advantage of many people, so that many people became his accomplices unintentionally. ”

Conan muttered, "The murderer killed the princess with snake soup, but sent the princess's body to the swamp in order to confuse the public, so that we think that the princess was bitten by a poisonous snake while looking for Epiphany. ”

Li Canghai said: "Yes, the murderer's original plan was like this. After killing the princess, in order to clear his suspicion, he sent the princess's body to the swamp, trying to make the illusion that the princess died accidentally. However, he overlooked one thing, the princess had no scars on her body. This is because the princess was poisoned by the snake soup in advance, and there was already a large amount of toxin in her body, and the poisonous snake would not bite a cold dead person, let alone a corpse with a large amount of snake venom in it.
