Song Ruilong knew that there was something in Su Xianrong's words, and said, "Then what if it is not calculated according to common sense?"

Su Xianrong said: "But I found that in Guo Meiqi's home, all the clothes are placed very neatly, the table is spotless, and all kinds of cosmetics are available, which shows that Guo Meiqi is not only lazy, but also extremely diligent." So, the question is, what made Guo Meiqi leave the kitchen in a hurry? ”

Song Ruilong felt that Su Xianrong's reasoning was very correct and reasonable, and he was very relieved, and said, "Rongrong, then in your opinion, why did this Guo Meiqi leave the kitchen?"

Su Xianrong thought about it carefully, looked at the pot again, and said, "There is a circle in this pot, and this circle is the amount of egg soup made by Guo Meiqi last night."

Song Ruilong looked around, she found that there was a porcelain bowl behind Song Ruilong, and said, "Brother Song, please hand me a porcelain bowl."

Song Ruilong turned around on a board, grabbed a porcelain bowl casually, handed it to Su Xianrong and said, "Here you go!"

Su Xianrong took the porcelain bowl, glanced at it, and said, "Why is there a mandarin duck on this porcelain bowl?"

Su Xianrong just asked casually, and did not delve into the reason.

She scooped a bowl of water from an empty bowl, then poured it into the pot, and said, "Brother Song, look!"

Song Ruilong looked into the pot and said, "What's wrong?"

Su Xianrong pointed to the circle in the pot and said, "Brother Song, you see that after this bowl of water is poured into the pot, it is not enough to suppress the rice ring in the iron pot, which shows that Guo Meiqi's cooking last night was not drunk by him alone."

Song Ruilong said with a smile: "Then if Guo Meiqi's meal is relatively large, she may drink two bowls of rice, so it is also possible for her to cook a little more."

Su Xianrong scooped another bowl of water and poured it into the pot, and said, "What you said makes sense, but I always feel that this Guo Meiqi's cooking last night was eaten by two people."

Su Xianrong took a closer look at the bowl with a mandarin duck printed on it and said, "On this mandarin duck bowl, there is only one mandarin duck, and the bowl is still very new, as if it was bought yesterday." Since it is a mandarin duck bowl, then there must be another one, let's look for it. ”

Song Ruilong instructed the three officials outside the door to ask them to also help find a bowl with a mandarin duck printed on it.

The servants immediately went into action. After Su Xianrong and Song Ruilong searched Guo Meiqi's bedroom and guest room, they did not find another mandarin duck bowl, they were a little disappointed, and returned to the kitchen. Song Ruilong said: "Could it be that we are thinking wrong?" That mandarin duck bowl may not have it at all? ”

As soon as Song Ruilong finished saying these words, a servant walked into the kitchen and said: "My lord, we have picked up a broken bowl in the garbage basket outside the door, and there is a mandarin duck on one of the bowls.

After Song Ruilong saw the official put the broken bowl on the board, he said, "You guys are doing a good job, let's step back first!"

After the official left, Su Xianrong took the broken bowl with the mandarin duck pattern in her hand, and after comparing it with the intact bowl on the board, she found that the patterns of the two mandarin ducks were opposite.

Su Xianrong said excitedly: "This bowl and the broken bowl should be a pair." From these fragments, it is not difficult to see that the bowl was broken by a great force. It should have been broken by a very angry person. ”

Song Ruilong also took a piece of broken bowl in his hand and thought carefully: "This is strange. Who do you think will break this mandarin duck bowl? ”

Su Xianrong said: "If Guo Meiqi didn't know that her husband was coming back, and the purpose of her using the mandarin duck bowl was to drink egg soup with another man, this would be completely explained."

Song Ruilong suddenly found that there was a fragment in those broken bowls that was very strange, he picked up the broken bowls, looked at them carefully, moved closer to Su Xianrong, and said, "Look at this fragment." ”

Su Xianrong's eyes stared at the fragment carefully, and said, "This fragment should be the fragment at the bottom of the bowl." But how could the bottom of this bowl be empty? ”

Song Ruilong looked at the silver hairpin on Su Xianrong's head and said, "Borrow your silver hairpin."

Song Ruilong spoke. Regardless of whether Su Xianrong agreed or not, he had already taken the silver hairpin off Su Xianrong's head.

Song Ruilong tried the tip of the silver hairpin on the broken bowl, and the tip of the silver hairpin turned black.

Song Ruilong and Su Xianrong's faces changed.

Su Xianrong said: "There is a high poison in the gap at the bottom of this bowl. Could it be that Guo Meiqi died because she drank the poison at the bottom of this bowl? ”

Song Ruilong returned the silver hairpin to Su Xianrong, looked at the other mandarin duck bowl, and said, "I don't know if the bottom of this bowl is highly poisonous?"

Song Ruilong was about to break the bowl.

Su Xianrong stopped him and said, "Brother Song, slow down!"

Song Ruilong fixed the iron spoon in his hand in the air and said, "What do you want to say?"

Su Xianrong said: "We first have to figure out a problem."

"Oh, what's the problem?"

Su Xianrong looked at the mandarin duck bowl and said, "If the murderer put the poison into the bottom of this bowl, then I want to ask, how did the murderer put the poison in it?" And if the murderer put the poison in it, how did the poison kill people? ”

Su Xianrong brought the bowl to Song Ruilong, asked him to look at the center of the bowl carefully, and said, "There is not a hole in the middle of this bowl, and it is impossible for those poisons to emanate from the bottom of the bowl into the bowl."

Song Ruilong looked at the bottom of the bowl carefully, and suddenly, he said excitedly: "I know how the murderer kills."

Su Xianrong only guessed that the murderer would put the poison into the bottom of this bowl, but he didn't guess the truth either, so she asked with curiosity, "How did the murderer kill people?"

Song Ruilong asked Su Xianrong to fill the bowl with water, and then he asked Su Xianrong to put the tip of the silver hairpin in.

Su Xianrong watched the color change of the tip of the silver hairpin, but after a long time, the tip of the silver hairpin did not turn black.

Su Xianrong took out the silver hairpin and said, "Brother Song, this silver hairpin has not changed color, which means that this bowl will not emit venom after it is filled with clean water."

Song Ruilong said: "We use a bowl not only to hold water, if it is hot rice that has just been scooped out of the pot, then I am afraid that it will kill people."

Su Xianrong still didn't understand what Song Ruilong meant, and Song Ruilong didn't deliberately explain, because he wanted to speak with facts.

Song Ruilong asked a servant to light the stove, boiled half a pot of boiling water, and when the water was a little cooler, Song Ruilong scooped the boiling water in the pot into the mandarin duck bowl with a copper spoon.
