Qiao Ran looked at Zhou Shilin, who was talking endlessly in front of him, and did not interrupt him.

"There is no assassin but he lied about the assassin, and it is very likely that the person is related to Shanxi Road, so this person is an assassin." Zhou Shilin said, "And in addition to him in the house, General Gu and Lord Zhao are dead, can it be that General Gu and Lord Zhao who speak well can not kill themselves themselves?" ”

Inferring from the positive side, there is nothing to come out, then it is the opposite, I have not seen anyone who was still eager to discuss before committing suicide, so it can be seen that neither General Gu nor Lord Zhao has the possibility of committing suicide. It could only be that he killed him, and there was no one else in the entire hotel at that time except for the little guy, so the little guy was an assassin.

Zhou Shilin looked at the people in front of him, and seeing that they didn't speak for a while, he couldn't help coughing and said, "This is what Miss Yuan said." ”

Qiao Ran nodded.

This case is bizarre so far, but it is not completely untenable, so I can't tell her to say anything. Glancing at Bai Zhijun and Zhang Xie who were not ready to speak, Qiao Ran thought about it, but still spoke by herself, she asked, "Then how did he kill General Gu and Lord Zhao?" Thinking that he had mentioned that General Gu and Lord Zhao had vomited before the accident, Qiao Ran asked, "Is it poisoning?" ”

Zhou Shilin nodded: "It is said that General Gu and Lord Zhao were indeed poisoned to death, and less than half an hour after death, their lips turned black." ”

"What's that poison?" Qiao Ran asked.

Zhou Shilin shook his head, looking a little embarrassed, but he still said stiffly: "I don't know." ”

"It is not an exaggeration to say that there are thousands of poisons in this world, and many of them are still unknown, so I don't know if it's strange." Qiao Ran paused as she spoke, and then asked, "According to what the Great Governor said, I can infer that when the Guards witnessed General Gu and Lord Zhao vomiting, it was very likely that the poison was poisoned, and the little guy had not been in contact with the two adults, so what method did he use to poison him?" ”

Didn't you have any contact with the two of them at the time of the incident? Zhou Shilin recalled the process of the guard's retelling, the little guy had been standing a few steps away from Lord Zhao, so the inference that Lord Qiao had got was that the little guy didn't get close before the two of them vomited and poisoned.

So he nodded again.

So Qiao Ran asked, "How did that little guy get poisoned?" ”

This is the problem...... Zhou Shilin's embarrassment came back again, and he said, "I don't know. ”

"It is not an exaggeration to say that there are thousands of poisoning methods in this world, and many of them have not yet appeared in the world, and he has put them all, I don't know if it's strange." Qiao Ran said.

I always felt that I had heard this a moment ago, Rao is thick-skinned man, but he was still a little embarrassed, Zhou Shilin laughed dryly, and responded.

"That little guy's household registration is in Chaozhou, have you sent someone to Chaozhou to inquire about that little guy's life?" Qiao Ran continued, "Since it is speculated that he may be born in Shanxi Road, tampered with his household registration or used other means to become a Teochew, it must be different from the native Teochew, can you find a witness to prove that there is a problem with the birth of this little guy?" ”

Zhou Shilin helped the red tassel on the armor that was a little messy by the wind, and said, "I don't know." ”

I don't know about this question!

Bai Zhijun couldn't help but cough twice, and interjected: "I'm afraid that I can't convince Your Majesty if you play it like this, and the Chinese official is much sharper than the question raised by Master Qiao." ”

Zhou Shilin naturally didn't understand this truth, and after he muttered in a low voice, "I didn't check it", he said: "So, it can only be proved that there are assassins, but I haven't officially played the matter of assassins being this little guy." ”

There are assassins in Shanglu, at least to appease Miss Yuan, after all, a miracle doctor came over to help investigate the case, and there is no merit and hard work, but he Zhou Shilin still kept an eye on it when he played. After all, with the so-called speculation in his hand, he can't even pass a round in this court.

It really seems straightforward, but in fact it is sleek. Thinking that he could worship the Great Governor, everyone present was not surprised.

"So, Master Qiao came just in time." Zhou Shilin took the opportunity to throw out this trouble, "This case will be handed over to you." ”

There is a case, who will the people of Dali Temple hand over to if they are not handed over to the people of Dali Temple?

This didn't dare to shirk and couldn't shirk, Qiao Ran smiled and asked him, "So, do you want to talk to Miss Yuan?" ”

"Let me pass on a message!" Zhou Shilin glanced at her, obviously some rumors are not received by others on Shanxi Road, so after coming to Shanxi Road, he did not arrange for Miss Yuan to come out.

Of course, it is impossible to get by by not arranging people to come out, there must always be a reason. And the reasons are ready-made, and they cannot be called excuses at all.

"Miss Yuan is saving people." Zhou Shilin said, "These days are tiring and busy, and even Zhou doesn't bother her easily." ”

Since he mentioned saving people, Qiao Ran naturally continued to ask: "Your Majesty will invite Miss Yuan over, but someone in the army has a tricky illness?" ”

Zhou Shilin glanced at her, nodded, and said, "I was about to mention this matter to a few people." ”

"The snow is getting heavier, so why don't you go to the hotel and talk about it!" Zhang Jie, who had not spoken on the side, spoke at this time.

The snow that had been stopped for a few days began to fall again, mixed with the cold wind that made people unable to open their eyes, Qiao Ran touched Pei Qingqing's red nose and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Not only Pei Qingqing, but she was also a little cold.

It's always a man, Qiao Ran and Pei Qingqing, who live in the West Pavilion, are women and children, who seem to be a little weaker, so they almost unanimously raised their feet to the West Pavilion.

I got the news that they were coming in advance, and each West Pavilion not only arranged for someone to clean up in the morning, but also prepared a charcoal basin, which was a kind of warmth as soon as I lifted my feet and stepped in.

As a child, Pei Qingqing cheered and followed her in.

In fact, the layout of the hotel is not much different from the same inn, and there are a few square tables in the lobby in the middle, and chairs are prepared, which is convenient for the adults and envoys who stay in the hotel.

However, in order to distinguish it from the same inn, the hotel also has a blanket flowing from the Western Regions, which is soft and comfortable to step on.

Since he came to the hotel, Zhou Shilin simply took a few people to the second floor. He pushed open the door of the room in the middle and walked in, "That's where General Gu and Lord Zhao happened. ”

This is a very ordinary hotel house, and I don't see anything different when I sweep it away. Qiao Ran looked at Zhou Shilin and walked to the window again, pushed open the window, and pointed downstairs: "My people were watching there at that time." ”

A few men followed, following his direction and looking downstairs.

As far as the eye can see, it is an open space, if there is really an assassin who wants to jump out of the window and escape, there is no place to hide his body, to put it mildly, as long as you have two eyes, you can see it.

The design of this hotel can be described as simple and crude, but the more simple the design, the more difficult it is to hide.

After finishing talking about the window, Zhou Shilin pointed to the coffee table near the window and said, "At that time, General Gu and Lord Zhao were standing here, and the little guy was not far from them. ”

In fact, it happened in an instant, and the two of them were suddenly poisoned and collapsed without warning.

Qiao Ran walked around, and Zhang Xie walked up to her and asked in a low voice, "Did you notice anything wrong?" ”

Qiao Ran shook her head and said in a low voice: "It's all cleaned up so cleanly, and if there is anything wrong, it will be cleaned up long ago." "It's a shame. However, it is not surprising that Zhou Shilin and Yuan Jiaojiao, who stayed here, would do such a thing, as can be seen from the bizarre cases of those two people before.

Zhang Xie snorted, and said, "Do you think that little guy is wronged?" ”

"It's hard to say." Qiao Ran thought for a while and said, "But if you only follow what Zhou Shilin said, this little guy will really be a little wronged." ”

After explaining a few words with Zhang, Qiao Ran turned his head and asked Zhou Shilin: "What do you say?" Can the autopsy be performed? ”

"It is said that it is poisoned, but it is not clear what kind of poison it is." Zhou Shilin spread his hands, and when he saw that the girl moved her lips and was about to open her mouth to speak, he hurriedly said, "But I found arsenic from the baggage that the little guy carried." ”

A slight inhalation sounded, originally such an inhalation sound was inconspicuous, but after Zhou Shilin finished speaking, no one in the room spoke, and such an inhalation sound was particularly eye-catching.

Everyone looked at Bai Zhijun who was inhaling, he coughed twice at everyone, and said, "It's a little cold." ”

The charcoal basin in the house had been burning for a while, and I was almost sweating.

No one exposed his lies, Zhou Shilin touched the cheeky skin that he had grinded, and said embarrassedly: "Zhou is a big boss, just lead the troops to fight." ”

"The miracle doctor can only help the world and save people." Qiao Ran said, "It's really not good, what about the Fu Yin and the officials on Shanxi Road?" ”

Hearing her mention others, Zhou Shilin immediately made a straight face and said: "Because of the suspicion of colluding with the wicked, they are now in prison." ”

Qiao Ran was silent for a while, and then said, "It's all caught, is there no one left?" "Don't leave two to help with errands?

Zhou Shilin said: "There are still a few small officials left to sort out the documents......"

Qiao Ran glanced at him: "No wonder I want the two of you to deal with the assassination." ”

Originally, even if there were no civil officials sent by His Majesty, it was better to use the help of local officials on Shanxi Road than to come over for interrogation with two eyes in the dark. At this time, the officials of Shanxi Road were all in prison, not to mention that Zhou Shilin did not interfere at all, even if he intervened, he thought of the first case in which she entered Dali Temple before. Qiao Ran silently: The strengths of people are different in the end, just like she can't lead troops into battle.

Of course, banditry is rampant on Shanxi Road, and there must be people related to bandits among the local officials on Shanxi Road, and there may be more than one or two, but a group. When you are not sure which one is wrong, pack them all up and send them to prison, although this method is a little rougher, but it is also a solution.

The left and right are just closed, and there is no conviction.

Qiao Ran paused for a moment, and then said: "There are indeed thousands of poisoning methods, but arsenic is a common poison in these methods, it is a work that has not been in the industry for a few years, is it the poison of arsenic should be distinguished!" ”

Probably from the beginning of her questioning, it was either ignorant or embarrassed, so after such a pass, Zhou Shilin was also used to it, and it was to Qiao Ran's questioning, he snorted confidently, and said: "Unfortunately, the previous servant commonly used in Shanxi Road married the personal maid next to Mrs. Yin of Shanxi Road Mansion, and I heard that this maid has a very good relationship with that lady, so I calculated carefully...... That sham may also be suspicious. ”

So the servant was also thrown into prison.

"I looked for a job among the people, but my experience was still too short to tell the difference."

Qiao Ran couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at Zhou Shilin: He was quite confident when he said such a thing! Hum yet, what's there to hum?

"This is not going to work." Qiao Ran said, "You have to change it." ”

Zhou Shilin said: "There is only this, nothing else." ”

Qiao Ran was silent for a while, although he had dealt with the case before, but Zhou Shilin at that time was busy with his daughter's affairs, and his attitude was quite positive, but Qiao Ran didn't notice anything wrong. Now facing himself, it is something that has nothing to do with him, and this Zhou Shilin is a kind of scoundrel.

This made Qiao Ran a little unaccustomed, after all, Bai Zhijun had the most contact with before, and Bai Zhijun threw his pen from Rong, even if he went to the battlefield, he was still a Confucian general with a bit of literati temperament, and he had never seen such a scoundrel.

"It's okay to find a few experienced doctors." Zhang Xie spoke at this time, she glanced at Qiao Ran, and said, "Arsenic poisoning, ordinary doctors should be able to distinguish between yes and no." ”

Although the husband and the doctor, one looks at the dead and the other looks at the living, there are some things in common.

It's okay to catch a few doctors, it's not a hassle. Zhou Shilin nodded and responded: "Originally, I found a lot of doctors to treat people in the army, and now they are still in prison, so I will let them be brought over." ”

There was silence in the room.

It's an official, a servant and a doctor, and the prison on Shanxi Road is about to be filled! Hearing this, Bai Zhijun finally couldn't help but speak: "Why do you even have to arrest the doctor?" ”

Zhou Shilin glanced at the expressions on everyone's faces and said, "Do you think that Zhou is crazy and angry?" ”

Still...... Is.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhou Shilin spoke again: "The officials were arrested just in case, and there is a reason why the doctor can't let him go." ”

He said and looked at everyone solemnly: "Because the doctors who have seen those patients, once they go out and talk nonsense, it will cause panic among the people on the Shanxi Road and cause civil unrest. "There can be no civil unrest at this time.

"Once there is a civil unrest, the entire Shanxi Road will be in chaos." Zhou Shilin said that the hand covering the saber on his waist tightened, and said, "Zhou is not a smart person, but this is the only way at this time." ”

Qiao Ran's heart jumped when she heard this, and she couldn't help but look at Zhou Shilin again, although she hadn't heard him say the reason, but behind such a seemingly absurd behavior, there was really a set of rules of conduct that belonged to him.

Thinking about it in this way, he is not stupid to arrest officials and doctors, but he is very wise. Zhou Shilin knew very well that it would not be him who would solve this matter in the end, and what he had to do was to drag the situation on Shanxi Road from beginning to end, and not let this matter spread outside.

Judging by the results, what he did was undoubtedly successful. There are many rumors in the capital, and countless wise people have guessed that something big has happened on Shanxi Road, but no one knows what the big thing is from beginning to end. Even the officials who came to meet His Majesty's orders did not know what was going on on Shanxi Road until this time.

Zhou Shilin used his own method to cover this rumored matter with a layer of cloth, and then firmly nailed this layer of cloth to the ground without lifting it.

The military generals who can worship the great superintendent have never been stupid people.
