Chapter 468: Hearteater
"Lord Lu, what the hell is going on? That Hui Xuan...... Did he really commit suicide? Could it be that he was killed?" Beimen Yuan also stepped forward with a shocked face and asked.
If he only had some premonitions before, then it was very clear by now that someone was going to engage the Beimen family. From simulating the dragon sword technique to kill someone, to later his daughter-in-law encountered an accident, and now, the only person who can prove the innocence of the eldest son is also dead?
"I checked carefully, Hui Xuan did commit suicide, at least when she hanged herself, she was the only one in the room. And, we found this letter in her room. โ
As he spoke, Lu Sheng took out a paper from his sleeve.
Beimenyuan took the letter suspiciously, and quickly swept it, and his face instantly became good-looking. Then Jun indifferently took the letter and looked at it, and after reading it, his eyes swept over the north gate Wuji, who was still in a daze.
"It turned out that Hui Xuan conspired with others...... Kill Xiaoxiao. โ
"Then this person is really damned! Let her hang herself, it's a cheap thing for her. โ
"Actually, it's not!" Lu Sheng shook his head and sighed softly, "Think about it, if you are murderers, you can do so many cases, and you also have dead soldiers under your hands."
Will you cooperate with Hui Xuan, a lay disciple of the Pure Moon Nunnery, who is helpless and helpless? Even if you need to lure Gong Xiaoxiao out, it doesn't seem that you necessarily need Hui Xuan's help to take Hui Xuan's help in the eyes of the murderer, and it is good that she is not regarded as the next target. โ
As soon as Lu Sheng's words came out, the people around him suddenly became stunned. cooperation, there must be a value of mutual needs. If each other does not need each other, it is not cooperation, but dedication.
So the official doubted the authenticity of Hui Xuan's letter from the beginning. However, Hui Xuan did commit suicide, not by her. If this letter was not written by Hui Xuan, then there should be another person at the scene, but Hui Xuan was the only one when she committed suicide. Moreover, if Hui Xuan didn't commit suicide because of the content of the letter, why did she commit suicide?
It wasn't until I saw what Hui Xuan was holding on to before she died that I understood...... The reason why Hui Xuan committed suicide was that she was in love!"
Lu Sheng took out the jade cicada, "This jade cicada should be a token of love given to you by Hui Xuan, right?" Hui Xuan was adopted by Jingyue Nunnery since she was a child, she is an extremely simple girl, and she has hardly seen a man in her life.
Where can a simple girl withstand your rhetoric, so she regards you as her only belief in this life. And you abandoned it the day before yesterday, and without faith, you have no desire to live.
Therefore, she can only die to escape your abandonment, and you watch a woman who loves you more than her life hang herself in the room, and then you throw this letter from the roof into the table in the room to blame Huixuan for everything.
It's all in your plan, you killed your own wife, and you forced your lover to death, the murderer of the Black Bat, right?"
"Not me...... It's not me ......" Beimen Wuji shook his head in fear and muttered, "Lord Lu...... Not me...... I didn't...... I really...... Poofโ"
A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out, and Beimen Wuji's face instantly turned purple.
Clutching his chest, his eyes widened.
Lu Sheng's face froze, and he instantly made a move to seal the acupoint of Wuji at the North Gate.
But Beimen Wuji's chest overflowed with jet-black blood.
"Wuji-" Beimen Yuan reported to Beimen Wuji in fear, "Wuji, what's wrong with you......"
Lu Sheng's face changed greatly, and the sword qi surging instantly opened the clothes of Wuji at the north gate, and the flesh and blood on his chest were already blurred, especially the location of the heart, and there were hideous and terrifying insects out of the flesh and blood.
"Heart-eating worm ......" Lu Sheng's scalp is a little numb, this kind of insect has only been seen in books, it can burrow into the human body and eat the heart, but he never thought that there really was such a terrible insect in the world.
"Lord Lu...... My affection for Xiaoxiao...... Heaven and earth can be learned, what I mean to Hui Xuan...... Unforgettable...... I definitely won't...... hurt them...... Even if I lay down my life...... Nor will it ......
Jade Cicada...... Jade Cicada...... 10 days ago...... Ten days ago, I was seen by Xiaoxiao...... I lied about ...... Falsely claimed to have bought it as a gift for Xiaoxiao...... Xiaoxiao was very happy...... The jade cicada has always been on Xiaoxiao...... She also said...... Also said...... To send me back ......"
"Wuji-" Beimen Yuan shook Beimen Wuji excitedly, but at this moment, Beimen Wuji could no longer respond to his call.
"Wuji...... My son...... Who harmed you...... You speak...... Wake up......"
The atmosphere of the scene became extremely dignified.
"Lord Lu, did you hear my son's words clearly?" Beimenyuan stared at Lu Sheng fiercely with red eyes.
"Hear me clearly. โ
"But my son died...... He's innocent, but he's dead!"
Lu Sheng's eyes instantly turned cold, "Do you want to say that the death of Beimen Wuji is because of this official? Why don't you ask, why is there a heart-eating worm on him?"
Heartworms need to be taken three days in advance, and then they will be conceived in the body, and after three days, the eggs will break out, and there is no cure. The death of Beimen Wuji was already doomed three days ago. โ
When these words landed, Beimenyuan's face changed suddenly.
Who had already given Beimen Wuji a heartworm three days ago? In the past three days, Beimen Wuji has been at home and has never gone out.
The one who poisoned him...... It must be someone from the North Gate family.
Thinking of this, Beimenyuan's eyes suddenly burst out with a devouring cold light, "Ning Quan, check it for me!"
"Yes, sir!"
Lu Sheng's eyes swept coldly over the corpse of Wuji at the north gate, and his mind was racing rapidly. Lu Sheng really didn't think that this jade cicada was not in the hands of Beimen Wuji.
As the so-called people are about to die, their words are also good, and when the heart-eating worm in the body is undoubtedly dead, Beimen Wuji has no reason to lie anymore. If what he said is true, then the jade cicada should be obtained by the murderer from Gong Xiaoxiao.
and then handed it to Hui Xuan, and lied to Hui Xuan that Beimen Wuji wanted to break off with her. In order to carry out all these plans perfectly, this person must be a person who is extremely close to Beimen Wuji, and only such a person will not arouse Hui Xuan's suspicion.
And the murderer knew about the private affairs of Beimen Wuji and Hui Xuan, which also verified this speculation. In this case, the range of targets that Lu Sheng can suspect will be reduced to a handful of points.
But...... What is the purpose of the murderer? In order to kill Beimen Wuji? Since he can easily plant heart-eating worms on Beimen Wuji, it is very easy for this person to assassinate Beimen Wuji.
At this moment, Lu Sheng felt very close to the truth, but the truth was hidden in a fog. gives Lu Sheng the feeling that as long as the fog is peeled off, the truth can appear, but this layer of fog is not known where to open.
Suddenly, Lu Sheng's eyes flashed, "Where did Gong Xiaoxiao say she was going before the accident?"
"Back to Lord Lu's words, the young lady said that she was going to buy jewelry...... a subordinate looked at the old man and didn't want to speak, and took the initiative to pluck up the courage to say.
"Did she go alone?"
"Yes, the young lady is also a chivalrous woman, and she is not very willing to hug each other, unless she goes to the incense or temple fair, she will bring people up and down, and there is only one person on weekdays. โ
"And where did she go to buy gold and silver jewelry?"
"In Gangneung City, there is a street where you buy gold and silver jewelry. โ
"Have you checked Gong Xiaoxiao's last place?"
"After checking, the young lady went to eight stores one day and planned to buy a jade wrench, but in the end she didn't look satisfied. The eldest young master's jade wrench was lost more than ten days ago, and the young lady wanted to buy him a new one. The young lady is a little stubborn, and if she wants to buy it, she has to buy it.
The jade wrench that the eldest young master used to wear was carved out of mutton fat jade, which is already the best among the wrenches, and if you want to buy a better one, I am afraid it can only be purple jade. โ
When these words were settled, Lu Sheng's eyes suddenly flashed.
He remembered the purple jade fragment that flowed out of Gong Xiaoxiao's ears before, the murderer had purple jade in his hand, could Gong Xiaoxiao's death be related to this purple jade fragment?
Purple jade is the best in jade, not green or red, but gorgeous purple. Purple jade is hard to find, and it is a symbol of dignity. If you are a veteran of the jade industry, you will tell you that many people have been in the jade business all their lives, and I am afraid that they will not have the opportunity to see a real purple jade.
Lu Sheng had seen it once, and it was still the purple jade wrench as a token of the head of the Haotian Sword Sect at the handover ceremony.
Even the Haotian Sword Sect uses purple jade as a token of the head of the house, which shows the preciousness of purple jade.
How many people can have purple jade in the entire Chuzhou? And since such a noble purple jade, how could it be possible for the purple jade to be broken?
In Lu Sheng's eyes, a picture instantly appeared again, the murderer was pinching Gong Xiaoxiao's neck with his wrench hand in the process of violence on Gong Xiaoxiao's body.
And the pain of suffocation and the excitement of the aphrodisiac made Gong Xiaoxiao's body constantly spasm and twist. Jade is not as resilient as other things, and jade is an extremely fragile thing.
In the midst of the struggle, the purple jade on the murderer's body shattered, and a fragment fell into Gong Xiaoxiao's cochlea. The picture in my mind is frozen in the picture when I gave Gong Xiaoxiao an autopsy.
On Gong Xiaoxiao's cheek, there was also a clear scratch, which should be a scrape left by the broken purple jade mouth.
"Where did you find out where Gong Xiaoxiao went?"
"Back to Lord Lu, in the end we didn't find anything, the young lady came out after looking for a few shops and didn't find a satisfactory one, and no one has seen the young lady since then. โ
Normally, if she doesn't find something satisfying, she will have two choices, one is to go home, and the other is to settle for the next best. Spider, what kind do you think it will be?"
"I will choose the second option, I will come here, and I will definitely not be happy to go all the way and return empty-handed. If you don't lack money, buy a similar one first, and buy it later when you see a better one. โ
"Did Gong Xiaoxiao go back to the previous jade shop later?"
"No, all the shops in Gangneung City have been asked, and the young lady has never gone back. โ
"Sun You, pass the order down, and order the Xuantian Mansion of Chuzhou to immediately investigate which people have purple jade objects in their hands. Second, he ordered the Xuantian Mansion of Jiangling Mansion to immediately investigate where Gong Xiaoxiao had been before her disappearance, and to be sure to trace her final whereabouts. โ
"Master, I found ......"
At this moment, a descendant of the Beimen family came running with a porcelain gourd, "Doctor Xu said that there are dozens of pills in this gourd that he did not dispense. โ
Beimenyuan snatched the porcelain gourd and smashed it, and the pills inside were scattered all over the ground.
Lu Sheng picked up an elixir, put it under his nose and sniffed it. At this time, a kind of aphrodisiac health care drug, Beimen has to deal with two women, and it is normal to take this medicine so naturally.
Among the nearly a hundred pills, Lu Sheng really identified dozens of pills with similar colors and shapes. Lu Sheng crushed the pill, and it turned out to be hollow, and an insect egg the size of a grain of rice appeared in front of Lu Sheng's eyes.
