In fact, just opened the door, and standing at the door, he could already smell the smell coming from the ice cellar, and the smell of the corpse rout naturally wouldn't smell good.

Qiao Ran stood at the door for a while, and walked in with her mouth and nose covered. Pei Qingqing, who was originally shouting to follow, retreated when he came to the door, but at the end he hesitated outside: "I...... Think about it and come back in a moment. "Of course, it may not come in.

The defeated corpse is really nothing to look at, and the corpse is not something I haven't seen before. The girl sat on the ground in the doorway, glancing in from time to time. It's just that the nose is too smart, and the smell is strange and unpleasant.

Qiao Ran responded with a smile and followed Zhang Xie in, Pei Qingqing is a child who can not go in, but as an adult, there is no reason not to go in.

Lifting the white cloth covering the corpse, it was not surprising to see two corpses that were unrecognizable. Qiao Ran stepped aside to see the trembling man perform an autopsy.

"This ......" I don't know if I am gradually getting used to it, seeing the corpse, Fang Cai's panic and anxiety have decreased slightly, but in front of the two corpses that have been dead for a long time, it seems that he has no idea what to do for a while.

"Why not?" After waiting for a while, he didn't see him do anything, Zhou Shilin was a little impatient, and couldn't help urging him, "Will you?" ”

“…… Yes. That was taken aback by his voice, startled again, trembling and holding out a word "will", only then did his eyes fall on the girl with her mouth and nose covered, before coming, the great inspector had already said that he could be released from the prison is required by Lord Qiao of Dali Temple, yes, instinctively, he fell on the girl, and then couldn't help but say, "If I had come to test earlier, I would have been able to test some......" After saying this, he heard Zhou Shilin snort coldly, and he shivered again.

Seeing this, Qiao Ran couldn't help but cough dryly and reminded Zhou Shilin: "Great Governor, he is useful." ”

This kind of work is ugly and inferior, and not everyone can be transformed into an official like Feng Zuo. After all, for ordinary people, those who deal with the dead are unlucky. Therefore, there are not many people who are engaged in this kind of protégé.

Especially in a panicked place like Shanxi Road, it is not easy to find a job.

After listening to this reminder, Zhou Shilin only continued to snort coldly and did not speak again.

Qiao Ran said to the servant: "I know that there are not many tests that can be detected at this time, so you can test them!" ”

The boy nodded at this time, and said while opening the medical box: "Actually, the cause of death of General Gu and Lord Zhao is already very clear, it is poisoning......

"Ouch......" Pei Qingqing's voice sounded at this time, probably not holding back her curiosity, she finally walked in, but as soon as she entered the door, she covered her nose and exclaimed, "These two really don't wash their feet!" ”

Zhou Shilin's brows jumped when he heard this, and he strode towards her: "Go, go, don't make trouble with your children!" Do a good autopsy, what a mess of the hell! ”

"It's not a mess." Someone refuted his words.

Zhou Shilin turned around, furious, and the toes that were originally walking towards Pei Qingqing instantly turned around, "What are you talking about?" ”

The pretending that was blurting out at the corpse was only realized what he had said for a while, and he was suddenly startled, and hurriedly said: "No, no, I, the Great Governor ......."

"That's not the right step." Zhang Xie interrupted Zhou Shilin's anger with a voice on the side.

But I didn't know when, Qiao Ran and Zhang Jie, who were still standing on the side, had already walked to the corpse, pointed to the feet of the two corpses that had been unrecognizable, and said, "This foot is not right." ”

Neither Qiao Ran nor Zhang Xie would conduct an autopsy, but even the two of them could see that something was wrong, which showed the abnormality of the bodies of General Gu and Lord Zhao.

Both feet were swollen and purple-black.

There is no doubt that General Gu and Lord Zhao died of poisoning, it has been confirmed before, after all, compared to the corpses that were difficult to identify at this time, it was much easier to see some abnormalities from the surface of the two corpses at that time than now.

The poisoning and the vomiting before the two died made people instinctively feel that the poison came from their mouths, and at a certain time, the two of them were poisoned to death, which is also the most likely speculation, Qiao Ran thought so at first.

"Why is the purple-black next to the corpse far less obvious than this one?" Qiao Ranqi said.

He shook his head, put on the gloves sewn the cloth, picked up the feet of the two and examined them carefully.

"Bring a few more lights." Qiao Ran said.

Although it was broad daylight, the door of the ice cellar was also open, but in order to preserve the two corpses as much as possible, the bodies of General Gu and Lord Zhao were placed in the innermost part of the ice cellar, and the light in the ice cellar at this time could be said to be faint. Therefore, it is quite difficult to do the inspection.

When the officers and soldiers brought the lamps in, Qiao Ran hurriedly approached the candles and came to the side to watch.

The senses of the rout corpse will naturally not be good, Zhou Shilin has not seen the rout and decaying corpse, but if he chooses, he will not approach. Not to mention...... He glanced at the girl standing at the door of the ice cellar, firmly covered and with a pair of round eyes looking in from time to time.

The kid was right: it smelled terrible.

Dozens of candles were placed around, and the ice cellar lit up all at once, and it also made people see the two rout corpses more clearly. Zhou Shilin took a few steps in the direction of Pei Qingqing before stopping, and turned his head to look at Qiao Ran and Zhang Xie who were looking at the corpses with them.

"It's not easy." He muttered, sighing.

No wonder there are so few people who do it.

"Hole." At this moment, Qiao Ran, who was holding a candle in his hand, spoke.

She opened her mouth suddenly, and in the ice cellar, which had been quiet for a moment, the sudden voice of this sentence was extraordinarily transparent, and even had a slight echo.

"There's a hole in the instep." Qiao Ran said.

"I didn't see it at first!" Zhou Shilin paused in place for a moment, but still walked over here without the curiosity in his heart, looked at the big giant-like foot with a locked brow, and said strangely, "I didn't find any external injuries before, and I was also staring at it from the side." "Lest the matter be leaked, on top of secrecy, he has to keep an eye on it, and he also arranged a novice to perform an autopsy early before the body is still decomposed. After a long time of examination, the novice only came to the conclusion that he had been poisoned, and the epidermis was turned over inch by inch, and he did not see any other wounds.

It was for this reason that he came to the conclusion that the poison must have come from the mouth and nose, either fed or inhaled, and there was no other possibility. Coupled with the abnormality of the little guy next to Lord Zhao at that time, it was really not him who decided that the little guy was the murderer.

"Maybe it's because the corpse is so swollen now, but the hole is more visible because of the swelling. If it weren't swollen, the tiny hole might not be so easy to see. Qiao Ran paused as she said and said, "This hole is very special. ”

General Gu and Lord Zhao both had holes in the insteps of their feet, and at this time, the two of them were all over the body, and a pair of feet were purple and black.

"So, the poison must have poured in from the feet." The servant spoke again, and then a trace of shame appeared on his face, "As for what kind of poison he has been infected, he is only a shallow learner, and he can't see anything for the time being." ”

"There are thousands of kinds of poisons, and if you could see each of them, you would have been famous all over the world." Qiao Ran didn't blame him, and lowered her eyes to the hole in the instep, "Actually, compared to this, how this poison is laid is the key." ”

"Use a needle stained with venom!" Zhou Shilin said, "This is not strange! ”

Is there anything else possible besides the poison needle?

Qiao Ran raised his head and looked at Zhou Shilin: "What does the Great Governor think of General Gu's skills?" ”

She's going to ask inexplicable questions again? Zhou Shilin was stunned for a moment, then thought about it seriously, and said, "It's good." ”

"Is it easy to get close to him?" Qiao Ran asked again.

Zhou Shilin shook his head: "No." After a pause, he couldn't help but say again, "You can't believe me or your majesty." ”

If it weren't for General Gu's good skills, His Majesty would not have dared to send him here.

After all, this is Shanxi Road! General Gu's skills are also the number one among the military generals of the current dynasty.

"How likely is it that someone will approach him and put a needle in his instep without being discovered or kicked away by General Gu?" Qiao Ran continued to ask.

General Gu and Lord Zhao were pricked in a special position, on the instep of the foot.

It's not a place where you can pass by and get hit with a single touch. Just like Tang Zhongyuan, who had been disgusted by Hongdou for a long time, hid his money, in order to prevent pickpockets, he sometimes hid the large amount of silver tickets he carried on his body.

The soles and insteps of the shoes are empty-handed, and there is no way for the old pickpockets to steal them easily, which shows its difficulty.

Not to mention, one of the ancient generals is still such a good hand.

Zhou Shilin was stunned, and then he was furious: "I know, it must be the foot-washing maid who washed the feet of the two of them that day......"

Foot-washing maid...... Qiao Ran was silent for a moment, sighed helplessly, and said, "It is indeed possible for the maid to approach General Gu and Lord Zhao, but they just washed their feet and feet, and suddenly they were stabbed, can't the two of them notice it at all?" ”

Don't forget, General Gu is not an ordinary person, even if Lord Zhao, who is an ordinary person, is suddenly stabbed, he will definitely feel pain.

"And it's not manageable to wash your feet." Zhang Xie suddenly said on the side, "No one can speculate whether General Gu and Lord Zhao will suddenly have the temperament to let people serve and do such a thing. ”

Previously, when General Gu and Lord Zhao led the troops away, there were no servants in the team, except for Lord Zhao who brought a small servant to serve and wash, General Gu did not bring anyone to serve.

And what the little guy does every day is more sorting out books and the like, handing out water or something. It is not common to be so tired and too lazy to shout for someone to serve, as long as it is not a daily action, it is uncontrollable.

In other words, this matter is a temporary intention, if the two of them do not have a temporary intention, that is, what kind of maid is the murderer, and how can she get close?

Zhou Shilin was silent for a while, and after a while, he said: "The selected maid was also assigned by Zhou at will. ”

Therefore, this incident proves that it is not something that can be controlled.

If you poison someone with a poison needle, you must set the time of the poison and set a trap, which can be regarded as a precise plan, and you will definitely not make a mistake in the crucial step of poisoning.

Even in the case of murder, any blinding trap is far less important than the step of a successful blow, and it is obviously unreasonable to use such uncontrollable methods to kill people.

"So, poisoning is certainly not a strange thing." Qiao Ran thought about it seriously and said, "And even if it hurts, General Gu and Lord Zhao don't care." ”

"What can be done then?" Zhou Shilin glanced at her, sighed and patted his head, "I can't think of it, you can think about it." ”

No wonder ordinary people say that martial artists hurt their bodies, and literati hurt their hair, thinking like this all day long, you have to think bald.

"Okay, I'll think about it." The girl smiled at this and responded

Since she came to Shanxi Road, today is only the second day, and Zhou Shilin no longer feels strange about this answer. Although the Lord Qiao in front of him is quirky and likes to handle cases and take care of children, there is one thing that he does much better than most of the officials he has seen.

Words must be done, never shirked, responsibility must be borne, such colleagues are really more and better.

I can't find out anything about the rest of the work, after all, not just any work is at the level of the seal. Zhou Shilin had a lot of complaints about this: "Then what do you use him for?" That foot, I can see it with my eyes when I give birth. ”

His lips trembled: "If you had ...... earlier" Can you blame him? The great overseer protected himself from touching the corpse, and he found a novice who didn't know what to find.

Zhou Shilin snorted coldly, glanced at him, and raised his hand to beckon: "Lock it up!" "Just bring it out next time you need it.

After he was taken away, he looked at Qiao Ran and Zhang Xie who looked at each other strangely at some point, and then couldn't help coughing and reminded: "Master Qiao, Master Zhang." ”

They are still here, and they don't know how to converge and converge. When he was still the kid pinching his nose at the door?

"If there is nothing else...... he opened his mouth and wanted to go down and rest for a while, he was tired enough to toss in the past two days, and he would have to accompany Bai Zhijun to the barracks later!

The first two people who looked at each other turned to look at him when they heard him speak, and then they heard Zhang Xie cough and nodded: "Say it!" ”

Qiao Ran smiled, looked at Zhou Shilin, and said, "Great Governor, I want to see the entry and exit records of the people in this hall these days, is it okay?" ”

Zhou Shilin took such strict care of the affairs in this hotel, he would definitely not let people enter and exit at will, and the entry and exit must be recorded in the book before they can be investigated.

Therefore, there must be a booklet that records the entry and exit of people in the hotel.

Listen to her suddenly mention this ...... Zhou Shilin nodded in surprise, he wanted to ask her how she knew that there was this booklet, but after thinking about her ability to "see the subtleties", he didn't ask any more.

If she didn't have such skills, how could His Majesty send her to Shanxi Road?

……

"Shanxi Road." Xu Hexiu sighed, looked at the familiar official beside him and said, "Since Master Qiao was sent to Shanxi Road, has Dali Temple sent you out to help open the way?" ”

Tang Zhongyuan responded with a dry smile, and after looking at the children of the powerful people who were walking around the Guanxue Pavilion and shouting cold in wide-sleeved robes, his eyes fell on Lord Xu, who had changed into a brocade robe, wore a fox fur cloak, and deliberately tied a piece of jade around his waist.

I forgot that this Lord Xu has also been very idle recently, and the Xu family, as the family behind the Taifu of the current dynasty, is naturally also a powerful family.

If you are interested, you will also come to enjoy the snow.
