The summer night wind blows the camphor trees, bringing bursts of fragrance.

In addition to the fragrance of orchids and camphor trees, Miao Miaomiao also seems to smell a faint unique fragrance.

She's smelled enough of this scent today!

"Persian scorpion basket!"

The originally lazy body immediately trembled, and he looked around with searchlight-like eyes, but there was no suspicious trace.

The eunuchs and palace maids who were keeping vigil outside the main house had already dozed off, and Miao Miaomiao got off the tree and went straight there.

Who is the killer targeting tonight?

Emperor? Hui Concubine? Or is it a palace maid?

"In short, this time will definitely not let you succeed!"

The black cat jumped off the camphor tree vigorously, looking for a place with a strong fragrance.

"Ha ......"

Involuntarily yawned, Miao Miaomiao shook her head: "Don't sleep, don't sleep, you can't sleep at this time!" It's up to tonight who the real culprit is! ”

Kitchenette.

This is where the strange and familiar scent wafts in!

Miao Miaomiao touched the darkness and pulled a piece of cloth from a room and hung it on her mouth and nose.

Take precautions before she dares to enter it.

The kitchen door was open with a small opening, just big enough for her to enter.

"Hmm...... Hmmm......"

In the darkness, a stout black shadow sat by the stove with its back to her, and the two hands of the black shadow were constantly feeding into his mouth.

"Who's there?" Miao Miaomiao dared to scream.

"Hmm...... Not...... Delicious......"

The black shadow remained unmoved, still stuffing something into his mouth.

Miao Miaomiao jumped on the stove, the sparks in the stove had not been extinguished, and the firewood and straw in it were still smoking.

"Sure enough......"

She should have guessed that this was the only place where she could burn the Persian scorpion basket in the open.

Could it be that the murderer is the person in front of him?

But it doesn't look like it, does it......

If a murderer doesn't commit a crime, what will he eat here?

"Uh...... Click......"

The shadow's movements stopped suddenly, and it felt as if something was choking on it.

Miao Miaomiao immediately jumped in front of her, and only then did she see the appearance of the black shadow.

"Steel?"

"You...... What's wrong with you? ”

"What are you eating?"

"You...... Feed! Feed! ”

Jin Gang rolled his eyes and fell straight down.

Frightened, Miao Miaomiao's face was pale.

……

"Suicide by swallowing gold."

After Si Yubai examined the body, he came to this conclusion: "If everything is as you say, it is indeed considered suicide." ”

"But swallowing gold won't die so quickly......" Miao Miaomiao pressed the corpse's stomach, very hard, "Good guy, how much did she swallow?" ”

"Then you'll have to take it away." The man made a gesture, and the six eunuchs carried the body out of the small kitchen of Lanfang Courtyard.

Jin Gang's body was brought into the room next to the Punishment Division.

"Prepare some ice cubes and don't let the corpse rot." Si Yubai commanded.

The little eunuchs answered and went out.

"Master, why don't we bring the corpse into Jingzhao Mansion? The morgue is colder there...... Oops! ”

The head was knocked out, and the black cat looked at him accusingly: "Why do you keep beating me?" ”

"You're my apprentice, what's wrong with beating the teacher twice?" He clenched his fists menacingly, and his joints made a "gurgling" cross sound.

"Hey, don't you just want to share the case for the first time......" Miao Miaomiao muttered quietly.

"Don't think I can't hear."

The man in white took out a knife and held it across in front of her.

Frightened, Miao Miaomiao immediately raised her front paws off the ground and shouted: "Master, the apprentice will never dare again!" You always put the knife down...... Drop ......"

He chuckled and removed the knife from her face, then pressed it against the belly of the corpse next to her.

Scratching open the thin layer of skin on the belly that had been stretched out, the gold, silver and bronze objects inside rushed out.

Some of them lost the restraints of their bellies, and fell out directly mixed with mucus and blood.

"These things...... Why are they all about the same size? ”

Miao Miaomiao could see at a glance that something was wrong.

The gold, silver and copper were all made to the same size, just enough for the gold and steel to swallow in one gulp.

Si Yubai wrapped a piece of copper with a handkerchief and looked at it for a while: "I don't know where so much gold, silver and copper came from?" It takes a bit of work to smelt them out. ”

Miao Miaomiao slapped her paws: "Let's do it!" There's another clue......"

"The most important thing now is to find out who the murderer's next target is." The man said in a deep voice.

"What? That murderer is going to continue to do murder?! Miao Miaomiao was simply going crazy, "What is this guy killing so many people for?!" ”

"Wrong, wrong, wrong! You said that he is a murderer, do you need a reason to kill people? ”

"There's no reason how to find the next victim?" The black cat rolled her eyes, "Why are you inconsistent?" ”

"But it's just that this murderous maniac kills people regularly...... Si Yubai stretched out two fingers, "If I guess correctly, two more people will die." ”

Miao Miaomiao tilted her head: "Master, why are you so sure?" In case of death of three or four...... What about seven, eight, ten? ”

"Little thing, haven't you found an important pattern?" The man looked at her claw-breaking appearance and pointed at her little brain, "Is it that your little brain is too small and has become not very smart?" ”

"I'm the Einstein of the cat world." The black cat slapped its tail against the morgue board, "You go and find me a second cat as smart as me." ”

Si Yubai pinched her right claw: "Then let me ask you, who was the first to die?" ”

"Hong Hong!"

"How did she die?"

"Stunned and drowned." She was on the sidelines, but she couldn't save her.

The man pinched her left paw again: "Who is the second one to die?" ”

"Hmm...... Lin Luo. ”

"How did she die?"

"...... It was also stunned, sealed in a coffin, and suffocated to death......" The black cat said, and the two ears that had been standing up drooped down.

Lin Luo's death was really miserable.

As soon as Miao Miaomiao closed her eyes, she always remembered her appearance in a coffin.

"What about the third?"

"Dried corpses on Cuilin Mountain? However, judging from the time of death, he should be ...... than Lin Luo Even earlier than Hong Hong died......"

The man shook his head: "Ye Fan was an accident, his death may be related to the case, but it is not in the murderer's plan." ”

"Why are you so sure?" Miao Miaomiao glanced at Jin Gang lying beside her, "Could it be that her death was in the murderer's plan?" I've seen her swallow it herself! ”

"Swallowing it yourself doesn't mean swallowing it voluntarily." Si Yubai took out a piece of paper from his arms and unfolded it, "I went to see the Samei people again and got other clues about the Persian scorpion basket." This thing can only be made for dry use, and the juice of fresh Persian scorpion baskets can be hallucinated......"

"Master!" Miao Miaomiao suddenly realized a problem, and she stared at the man in front of her with wide eyes.

"What's wrong? Do you think your master is very powerful? The man's tone was slightly meaningful.

The black cat raised her eyes and peeked at him: "Master...... When did you meet the Sami people? I remember we were together until nightfall......"

Isn't it going to be a big night meeting?

Night party concubine, this crime is not small......

"Ahem!" The man's face was unnatural, and his eyes were dodgy, "If you don't learn well at a young age, what are you doing with these nonsense?" ”

"Didn't you take the lead?"

"Can you use this brain on a case?"
