"Alas!" Lu Sheng sighed in a low voice, "For the sake of the big case a month ago, Li Xiang's father begged the Criminal Division to re-investigate the case, since Brother Bai is the one who reported the case, I should ask." ”

"At the invitation of a friend, I drank and worked late at night in Qingyuefang, and when I was slightly drunk, I suddenly felt anxious to go to the toilet. In a daze, he ran to the backyard of He Mansion and strayed into the kitchen.

I tripped over the corpse under my feet, and half of my brother's wine woke up. Hurriedly ran to the government to report the case, so I'm afraid I won't be able to ask any clues if you ask me. ”

"How do you get in? Don't tell me the backyard door isn't closed?"

"It's closed, but it's not on the door. ”

"You didn't hear anything, and you didn't see anyone?"

"No, it's quiet, even the chickens and dogs are silent. ”

"Well, there's really no way to find out...... By the way, the whole of He Mansion died of the poison of arsenic. I went to investigate the person who bought the arsenic, but the suspicious person didn't find it, but I found that Brother Bai had bought arsenic many times. Brother Bai, what do you want arsenic?"

"Eat!" Bai Shaoyu's expression naturally returned, and his tone was like buying candy to eat at home.

"Eat?" Lu Sheng stared at Bai Shaoyu in surprise.

"Brother Lu doesn't know, if arsenic is added with some auxiliary medicines, it can not only eliminate toxicity, but also make people understand the way of the underworld, I want to seek the way of immortals, Brother Lu should know. ”

"You...... I'm really not afraid of death. Lu Sheng was speechless to Bai Shaoyu.

"Arsenic will be fine if you take it in small amounts. ”

"As far as I know, Brother Bai bought less than a pound of arsenic before and after, how much is left now?"

"About half a catty. Bai Shaoyu smiled and led Lu Sheng into the house, rummaged through the cabinet and took out a paper bag from the drawer, "I have taken it occasionally for two years, and there are still so many left." ”

Lu Sheng saw the remaining arsenic, and he was relieved in his heart. There is half a catty of arsenic residue found from Hefu, plus poisoning Hefu, no catty of arsenic can't be done. As a result, Bai Shaoyu's suspicion was ruled out.

"Huh, Brother Bai was just painting?"

"Yes, the lotus pond in front of me has bloomed, and it is a whim. Since Brother Lu is here, why don't you have a discussion?"

I learned from Bai Shaoyu about my painting skills, and occasionally chatted about my views on the case, and before I knew it, it was already dusk.

Confirm Bai Shaoyu's itinerary again, and make sure that he is indeed just an unrelated person who passed by to find out about the case, and then immediately went to report the case. Even, Bai Shaoyu is even more motive than Li Xiang.

Lu Sheng saw that it was not early, so he got up and said goodbye. The case has been pursued for two days, and there are no useful clues so far. But Lu Sheng was not in a hurry, the experience of his previous life told him that the more clueless he was, the less impatient he could be.

Many of the key clues are found in the details. And discovering the details requires a calm heart.

Back at the Criminal Division, Lu Sheng crossed out the line of the source of arsenic. It should be impossible to find the murderer through arsenic, and the murderer who can commit such a big case is definitely not stupid.

The second is He Qing, the only one still alive in He Fu.

After breakfast the next day, Lu Sheng took Lu Li to He Mansion. He Mansion is located in the east of the city, across the street from the main entrance, with few families on the left and right. Although a month has passed, outside the door of the He Mansion, the wall is still covered with white silk.

Lu Sheng went to knock on the door, and after a long time, the door slowly opened.

A girl in a white filial piety dress opened the door with a blank expression. Seeing Lu Sheng dressed in official clothes, he was slightly stunned, and after a long time, he took a few steps back and squatted sideways to salute, "Little woman He Qing, I've seen adults." ”

"Miss He Qing is mourning, can the official come in?"

"My lord, please!" He Qing led Lu Sheng and the two in, and the door was so open.

Stepping through the door, the main entrance is the living room. In the living room, the mourning hall has not been removed. The entire He Mansion gave Lu Sheng an eerie and terrifying aura.

"My lord, this young lady, please be seated!"

He Qing beckoned Lu Sheng to sit down, and then turned around and left. Lu Sheng looked at the mourning hall, which enshrined two tablets. One is He Qing's father, Master He, and the other is He Qing's sister He Yun.

It was He Fumanmen who was poisoned, but the rest were subordinates, so He Qing only worshiped his father and sister.

Soon, He Qing came out of the back hall with tea, and showed Lu Sheng and Lu Li the tea with a blank expression. The dejected appearance is distressing to watch.

"Miss He Qing, have they all fallen into the ground?" Lu Sheng asked.

"After the government decided on the case, they were all buried in the ground. ”

"Then you live here alone?" Lu Sheng asked again.

"My relatives have all left, and I am the only one left, so naturally I live here alone. ”

"Since all the relatives have been buried in the ground, why don't you remove Bai Aya? Aren't you afraid?" Lu Sheng was very curious, in this era, there are still ghosts and gods, and there are generally few bold girls.

The whole family is dead, and it is still full of white silk, and she lives at home alone, which is terrifying to think about.

"This is my home, where do I live if I don't live here? And the murderer has not been executed, I dare not remove Bai Aya. He Qing's tone finally recovered a little emotion, and her voice was slightly excited.

"Did you see the murderer?"

Lu Sheng asked, He Qing suddenly turned his head to look at Lu Sheng, "My lord, isn't this case over?"

"It's over, but there are still a lot of doubts. After all, more than a dozen lives are at stake, so we have to be cautious. ”

"No!" He Qing said coldly, "Late that night, it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything. And I just felt someone climb into my bed and wake up and be knocked unconscious. Wait until I wake up...... But it's already ......"

A cold wind blew, and Lu Sheng felt a little cold.

And when He Qing said this, her body couldn't help but tremble.

"Miss He, calm down, can you take us to the scene to have a look?" Lu Sheng asked again.

He Qing hesitated slightly, but still stood up and took the Lu Sheng brothers and sisters to the backyard. White silk hangs outside the doors of all rooms in the backyard, except for one door.

He Qing pushed open the door straight and motioned for the two to please.

Lu Sheng paused at the door, looking at the door and the courtyard outside, "Miss He, I heard that you also received a murderer's sword here?"

"Yes, I was pushing open the door to call for help, and before I could even shout, he stabbed me with a sword. ”

"You didn't see the murderer at the time?"

"It was dark and windy that night, and I was disillusioned after I was humiliated. So...... Didn't even have time to look at it!"

"How did that man get into your boudoir?

"What's the use of the anti-lock, can it still stop the thief?" He Qing said grievingly, taking out a broken deadbolt from the corner.

Lu Sheng picked up the deadbolt, looked at the fracture, and suddenly let out a sound of surprise. If it is violently knocked open, then the fracture of the deadbolt should be uneven. However, the fracture of this deadbolt was unusually smooth, as if it had been sawn open.

Lu Sheng looked at He Qing suspiciously, "This seems to have been sawn?"

"It's not sawn!" Lu Li grabbed the door and looked at the fracture and said, "This is opened by internal force, as long as the acquired triple strength can be silently shaken." ”

"Internal strength, but Li Xiang doesn't know martial arts. I thought to myself.

"Miss He, can you tell us more about the situation at that time?"

When the words landed, He Qing's body couldn't help but tremble, and his face instantly became excited, "My lord, I've said it many times. Every time I remember it, I want to live the nightmare of that night again. My lord, what are you going to do, how are you going to let me go?"

"Miss He, this case is far from being as simple as it seems, and it is even very likely that Li Xiang is just a substitute for the dead ghost arranged by the real murderer.

When the official investigates the case, he must know all the details. If there is a slight concealment, or a slight omission, the real culprit will escape from justice and recover.

I can understand your feelings, but you don't want the real murderer to go unpunished and let your family die, do you?"

It's easy to say, and He Qing, who finally persuaded her, stopped crying. He Qing sobbed as she once again talked about the unbearable memories of that night.

"On the seventh day of the first month of March, Li Xiang of the Li family was invited to my house to discuss marriage, and my father liked Li Xiang very much, and the two of them drank very happily.

My sister and I are daughters, so we can't show our heads. In order to avoid suspicion, we all ate in our own rooms......"

Listening to He Qing's story, Lu Sheng roughly deduced that if it was really Li Xiang's crime, it was the crime.

Although He Qing tried not to use subjective judgment words, Li Xiang did have too obvious suspicions of committing crimes.

Li Xiang was overwhelmed by alcohol, and was drunk unconscious by Master He very early. But Lu Sheng knew that how could Li Xiang not be good at drinking?

Li Xiang was drunk and was sent to rest by Master He's maidservant. This is consistent with what Li Xiang said. After that, Li Xiang didn't know anything. I only know how to make love with people in a daze.

But then, the whole of He Fu was poisoned and died. This means that the next meal contains arsenic and is highly toxic. And there were only three people in He Mansion who did not eat poisonous meals.

He Yun, He Qing and Li Xiang.

From this point of view, Li Xiang's suspicion of committing a crime is indeed very great. After that, He Yun was tortured to death, He Qing was humiliated after being knocked unconscious, and when he woke up, he was already lost.

Frightened, he rushed out of the room, but was stabbed in the lower abdomen with a sword. That's how the whole case went.

If Lu Sheng is not a modern person, it is Li Xiang who thinks properly in this era.

But Li Xiang had no reason to commit the crime, and how could he be caught red-handed if he could plan so carefully?

If Li Xiang is excluded, then the real culprit is not someone who was in He Mansion that night, or a poisonous snake hiding in the dark waiting for an opportunity to act. Even, Li Xiang is also in his plan.

"Miss He, can you let us take a look at your wounds?" Lu Sheng pondered for a long time after listening to this, and asked again.

"Don't you think this request is too much, although I am no longer innocent, but I am still a woman of a good family!"

"Miss He misunderstood, I meant to ask my sister to check your injuries. From the shape of the wound, a clue may be inferred. ”

He Qing hesitated for a long time, slowly stood up, and Lu Sheng motioned for Lu Li to follow.

Although Lu Lifu has no experience, after all, he is a martial arts practitioner, and he can still see some clues on his wounds.

After the two of them entered, Lu Sheng stood up and looked at the furnishings of He Qing's boudoir. I don't know why, I always feel that something is wrong.
