XLII. Strangeness in the meal
Mr. Shang with dysentery often frequented the breakfast stall at Rou Niang's house, and Zhao Shuang also recognized it.
Such a big living person is dead today.
The inn is dead, and the people who live in the inn naturally can't go in and out casually.
That's why middle-aged men and beautiful boys didn't go to work.
Zhao Shuang asked the officer, "Can I go in and find my father?" ”
The messenger hurriedly said, "The girl can naturally do it." ”
Zhao Shuang took Rou Niang and Fu Ning into the inn, and Lord Zhao just finished asking everyone in the inn and was about to take Lin Chu's uncle and nephew to the murder scene.
Zhao Shuang asked to go too.
Although Lord Zhao didn't want his daughter to see the dead, he thought of the pickle case last time, if it weren't for his daughter, he was afraid that there would be another headless case on his desk, so he agreed.
Mr. Shang's room is a house on the second floor.
The shopkeeper led the way, and several people arrived at the door of the house.
Lin Chu looked at the door and said, "Shopkeeper, is this door hidden or locked this morning?" ”
The shopkeeper said: "It's locked inside, I asked Xiaosi to pry it open." ”
"Where's the window?"
"The windows are bolted from the inside, too."
Zhao Shuang said in his heart when he heard this, it was still a closed room murder case.
It is said that secret room murder cases require IQ, and foodie Zhao Shuang is really a little daunted by that thing.
A few people walked into the house, and in the middle of the room was a round table, on which were four plates, and there were only some leftovers of cold rice in it, which seemed to have been eaten a lot.
There was a bed inside, and Mr. Shang was lying on the bed, with coagulated blood stains on the corners of his mouth, nostrils, eyes and ears.
The beautiful young man Lin Wenyi trembled in his heart, but he pretended to be calm and said: "Seven orifices bleed, this is poisoning and death." ”
Lin Chu nodded and said, "It's like some kind of poison that will stimulate the heart and lungs, causing the blood flow to suddenly accelerate, causing the blood vessels to rupture and bleed." ”
Zhao Moshen heard the conversation between his uncle and nephew, and was immediately happy, this is an expert, if these two people can help him solve the case, he doesn't need to add an additional headless case on his desk.
Zhao Mo hurriedly asked, "What did you two find?" ”
Lin Chu said: "Has Lord Zhao checked whether the dishes on the table are poisonous?" ”
Zhao Mo Shen said: "Not yet, but I have already asked for a doctor, maybe the doctor can help test the poison in the food." ”
Lin Chu walked around the room and said, "Lord Zhao, I heard that the deceased is from your Lanfeng County people's clan?" ”
Zhao Mo Shen said: "Yes, this person specializes in some cheating and abduction, and the reputation is not good." ”
"So you think it's a vendetta?"
Zhao Mo Shen said: "Before the case is clarified, it can only be a suspicious direction. ”
Lin Chu said: "Have you ever thought that since Mr. Shang is a resident of this county, his family should have a house, why does he come to the inn to open an upper room?" It's not a fireworks Willow Alley. ”
Zhao Moshen patted his head: "Yes, Mr. Lin is really witty, what else did Mr. Lin discover?" ”
Lin Chu said: "Since the deceased opened a room in the inn, the purpose is not to sleep, then there must be something else to do in the inn room, the adults should check who the deceased had contact with before his death, and whether anyone needs to do something with him in the inn?" ”
Zhao Shuang muttered in her heart, the locals who have a house at home and run out to open a house generally have only one purpose.
Lin Wenyi said: "Sixth uncle, as soon as I entered the house just now, I vaguely smelled a strange fragrance in this room, not the kind of fragrance that these drinks and dishes can emit. ”
Lin Chu walked to the incense burner, there was no incense in the incense burner, he reached out and plucked the sand in the incense burner, pinched out something with his fingers and said, "You smell it, is it this fragrance?" ”
Lin Wenyi took a closer breath and nodded, "That's right, it's this fragrance." ”
Zhao Shuang is happy, worthy of being the winemaker he fancies, and his sense of smell is more sensitive than ordinary people.
Zhao Shuang said: "I smell it." ”
Lin Chu gave it to her, but she didn't take it, she just approached and inhaled hard, but there was no way, the current nose taste was still not very sensitive.
However, after Zhao Shuang smelled the smell of a small piece of incense inserted in the incense burner, he immediately identified the ingredients of this incense: "This incense is mixed with Banxia, Fusha, and Evening Cui, which is not an ordinary spice, and is generally not used for incense." ”
Lin Chu said: "Does the girl know what medicinal properties these three things have?" ”
Zhao Shuang said: "Banxia is poisonous, Fusha and Wancui have hallucinogenic effects, but just lighting a stick of incense is not enough to die, if you want to use these three things to kill people, at least you have to eat a pound of each." ”
Obviously, it is impossible for Mr. Shang to spend money to rent an upper room, carry three catties of poisonous herbs, lock himself in the house, and poison himself.
Lin Wenyi said: "How can you distinguish three different flavors in the same incense?" ”
He has always boasted of having a sensitive nose, but he has not been able to distinguish three different herbs in this small piece of incense, how did this girl do it?
Zhao Shuang smiled at her: "Do you want to learn?" I teach you? ”
Lin Wenyi was so frightened that she took a step back, feeling that Grandma Wolf was coming again.
While a few people were inspecting the room and speculating, Dr. Wang came, still carrying a cage in his hand, and the cage contained two house finch.
Lord Zhao hurriedly greeted him; "Brother Wang Xian, I'm tired of you. Can you check if the food on this table is poisonous and what poison it is? ”
Doctor Wang said: "I have heard from the messenger that I hurriedly caught these two house sparrows to test the poison when I came. ”
After speaking, he looked at the table in the room: "Do you want to inspect these leftovers?" ”
"That's right, I'm tired of Brother Wang Xian."
Dr. Wang put down the cage and went to check the food on the table.
He first looked closely, then leaned over to his nose and sniffed in various ways.
In ancient times, there were no modern inspection methods and tools, and people could only distinguish them in this way.
After some inspection, Dr. Wang said: "My lord, I didn't find any poison in this food, so I'll let the house sparrow try it." ”
Zhao Moshen nodded, although the leftovers may be physical evidence, this thing can't be collected like other species, it will stink, and it can only be discarded after inspection.
Dr. Wang poured some leftovers into a small bowl in the cage, and the two house sparrows ate them immediately.
The food was left on the table still, it was nothing, and after moving, Zhao Shuang seemed to vaguely smell the smell of something that should not appear in the food.
Lin Wenyi said: "Leave some leftovers, I'll smell them." ”
Lin Wenyi sniffed at the leftovers for a while and said, "There is a strange taste in this dish, not the taste of food and ingredients. ”
Dr. Wang also sniffed hard for a long time, but his nose was not sensitive enough to sniff out, so he asked, "What kind of smell?" ”
Lin Wenyi said: "It's a little bitter, and it's a bit like the smell of white smoke smoked in summer." ”
Doctor Wang said: "Although Baihao is weakly toxic, even if it is added to the meal, it will not cause death, unless you eat ten catties of Baihao, it is possible to eat the dead." ”
