Chapter 282: Bloody Doubts
"She is Minglan , a woman who is married to me, who used to live in a neighboring county with my father and mother, and will come to Juxin County in the near future, Xu is preparing to get married. Zhu Xing's eyebrows were bright, and anyone could see the happy expression. That kind of smile is not a polite smile, nor a polite smile at her, but a heartfelt happiness.
Long Xi smiled: "That's congratulations." ”
"Thank you, thank you. Zhu Xingyi smiled as he shook his hand.
He took out a wooden carving of a woman from his sleeve, smiled and said, "This is my own carving, you see, isn't it very beautiful?"
Long Xi looked at the statue, and sure enough, it was the appearance of a pretty woman, and she was very husband and wife with "Teacher Ju", thinking that "Teacher Ju" could finally not be abused in this game.
Zhu Xingyi immediately put away the statue and smiled again, and said in a deep voice, "I really have something important to tell you when I came here today. ”
Seeing that his expression was grim and knew that the matter was serious, Long Xi put aside those careful thoughts and asked tentatively, "Is there a new situation in the case?"
Zhu Xingyi nodded, and his handsome eyebrows frowned for a moment: "The official found a bloody coat under the bed in the deceased's room, but this blood is not the deceased, and it does not belong to the inclusion, it is very likely to be the murderer." ”
"You can even detect this?" Long Xi wondered in his heart, how could he possibly detect this thing with the means of this era.
Zhu Xingyi smiled slightly, and said confidently: "A few days ago, I met a noble man, he gave me a bottle of medicine, and said that I only need to dissolve this medicine in water, and then drip the blood in, if it is the same person's blood, it will dissolve, if not, it will coagulate and insoluble." ”
His answer surprised Long Xi, is there such a strange medicine?
In Long Xi's opinion, this kind of thing is as ridiculous as dripping blood to recognize relatives.
"Yan Lan doesn't seem to believe it?"
"This kind of thing, really, is really a little bit off from what I've always known. Long Xi gradually considered it word by word, she didn't want to directly say that she felt that this thing was completely nonsense, because it was very unreliable to ask her to say those long blood analysis theories, but she didn't want to echo his words, after all, this kind of thing she had never heard of in modern times, let alone this backward ancient times.
"If Yan Lan doesn't believe it, you can give it a try. ”
Seeing that he was so sure, Long Xi was a little moved, after all, Zhu Xingyi didn't look like a person who spoke wildly, and besides, such a strange drug was indeed very attractive. If there is such a thing, it will be a sensation to bring it to modern times, right?
Zhu Xingyi took the bowl, fetched a bucket of water from the well in the courtyard, scooped out a bowl and put it on the stone table, then took out a long-necked porcelain bottle from his sleeve pocket and put some white powder into the water. The powder dissolves in water and soon the white particles are indistinguishable, just like white water.
Long Xi sniffed the bowl of water, and was disappointed to find that the water was still colorless and tasteless, and he couldn't see anything unusual.
Zhu Xingyi used a small dagger to cut through his fingertips, dripping blood into the bowl, and the slightest trace of blood spread in the water, blooming into a passionate and wanton red flower.
He looked at Long Xi and handed the dagger over.
Long Xi stared at the dagger that flashed with silver light for a long time and didn't move, she wasn't afraid of pain, but she was thinking about what to do if this Zhu Xingyi had any infectious disease, this knife still didn't need it, okay?
Although she was also embarrassed by her own thoughts, she still didn't take the dagger, but bit her index finger fiercely and dripped a drop of blood into it.
Zhu Xingyi didn't know what she was thinking, but she was afraid of this bladed thing, so she didn't dare to take it, so she took the dagger into her arms.
At this time, there was a strange change in the bowl, the two drops of blood did not dissolve as Long Xi guessed, but floated in the opposite direction as if they were conscious, and the scattered blood of Zhu Xingyi just now gradually shrank until it shrank into a ball and was attached to the left side of the bowl wall, while Long Xi's blood was attached to the right wall.
The surface of the water shook slightly, then calmed again, and the two drops of blood did not have the slightest tendency to dissolve.
Long Xi looked at this situation dumbfounded, he never expected such a strange scene to appear.
Zhu Xingyi looked at her with a dull expression, knowing that she was because of the blood, he couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips slightly, and then took a chopstick sideways and put it into the water to stir under the tree.
The two drops of blood rotated in the direction of the flow of the water waves, but no matter how Zhu Xingyi stirred and how the shape of the two drops of blood changed, there was no sign of dissolving.
After he put away his chopsticks and let the water surface gradually calm down, the two drops of blood adhered to each side of the bowl wall, not intersecting or dissolving.
Zhu Xingyi saw that she was still staring at the water, her red lips were slightly open, as if she still didn't believe it, so she took a drop of her own blood and dripped it into the bowl.
As if it had a spiritual nature, the drop of blood went straight to the mass of blood on the left, and soon dissolved into it, turning into a large droplet.
Long Xi could see clearly, that drop of blood was indeed not his own blood, his own blood was lighter in color, and Zhu Xingyi's blood was darker.
Even now, she had to believe that the contents of this long-necked porcelain bottle seemed to be able to confirm whether the two blood samples belonged to the same person, but what was the composition of such a miraculous medicine?
"How, are you credible?"
Long Xi touched his chin, put away the surprised expression on his face, and said seriously: "Although it is amazing, for some other reason, the conclusion drawn with the blood of the two of us alone is not convincing. ”
It is also possible that different blood types are incompatible, but Long Xi has no way to confirm what Zhu Xingyi's blood type is, so he is still suspicious of this matter.
"What's not convincing?Can you tell me in the next two?" A clear voice came from behind the two of them, causing the two of them to turn around in unison.
"Who are you?" Long Xi looked at him suspiciously.
"Under the surname Zhao, the single name Jin, the word Yunlan, is a guest of the Fulai Inn. Zhao Jin was dressed in a purple robe, his eyes were a little sharp, and he arched his hand towards Long Xi, "He is a servant under the family, and his name is Gongsun Wuming." ”
Long Xi looked at the picturesque red-clothed young man beside him, and suddenly felt that the young man's temperament was a bit familiar.
Zhu Xing moved the corners of his mouth slightly and lowered his eyes. This man named Zhao Jin is by no means an ordinary person, Long Xi may not be aware of it, but he feels that the compelling momentum exuded by this person must be either rich or expensive.
"We were talking about the solubility of different people's blood. Long Xi looked at his good-looking skin and answered him honestly, "I don't think there is any way to confirm whether this thing can really make different people's blood incompatible." ”
"Oh, let's try it later. Zhao Jin stepped forward happily, ignoring Gongsun's nameless action to stop him, and directly bit his finger and dripped blood into the bowl.
The drop of blood swayed a few times with the waves, and then gradually drifted towards the edge of the bowl, and did not dissolve with any drop of blood.
The three of them looked at each other, Zhao Jin seemed to feel a little interesting, the corners of his lips rose slightly, Zhu Xingyi was naturally in his chest, only Long Xi was still surprised and suspicious.
"Gongsun Wuming, you can also take a drop. Zhao Jin raised his chin at Gongsun Wuming, who immediately took two steps forward and bit his fingertips, allowing a drop of blood to drip into the bowl.
The result was obvious, the four drops of blood were incompatible with each other, Zhu Xingyi stirred the water with chopsticks for a while, and after the water surface calmed down, the four drops of blood were still on their own.
Now Long Xi also had to believe it, even if the blood of both parties was insoluble at the beginning because of blood type, but after such a long time of soaking, it can only mean that the blood of the same person in this liquid is indeed not soluble.
Long Xi was still immersed in this event that broke her previous cognition, and Zhao Jin and Zhu Xingyi had already chatted.
"Don't know your Excellency's last name?"
"Under the exemption of your surname Zhu, the name of the star shifts, the word Ziwei, is the work of Juxin County. Although Zhu Xingyi had some scruples about his identity, he still replied politely.
"Brother Ziwei wants to run for that murder case?" Zhao Jin asked with a smile.
"Indeed, I just don't want any innocent people to be implicated. ”
"I wonder if I can tell you a thing or two about the case?" Zhao Jin said with a smile, "Xixi in the family has taught me to solve the case to see if it will help this case." ”
Zhu Xing moved slightly, Zhao Jin's identity seemed even more suspicious to him, if he was just an ordinary son of Zhong Mingding's family, why would he learn how to solve the case?
Could it be the son of an official in the Third Division?
However, these are only in his imagination, and he can't ask questions.
But about the autopsy results and the results of the homicide scene investigation, Zhu Xingyi did not reveal a word, after all, Zhao Jin suddenly appeared, his identity is mysterious, and he is really not a reliable person, what if he has any connection with the murderer.
During the time the two talked, Long Xi smoothly digested this thing that reversed his cognition, and then remembered the progress of the case, raised his head and said: "Since there is new evidence, can't you rely on this bloody clothes to come to the court again to help the shopkeeper clear his name, after all, the blood is not his, nor is it the deceased, which is very suspicious." Even if it is assumed that the shopkeeper is the murderer, there is a third person at the scene of the murder, won't finding that person reveal the truth?"
"Yanlan, if only it were that. Zhu Xingyi hesitated for a moment, glanced at Zhao Jin a few times, and finally made up his mind, "Before this, the official had thoroughly searched the room, and there was no such thing as bloody clothes, but why did it appear again when he searched again yesterday?"
"Are you saying that someone has sneaked into the room in the past three days and put this bloody cloth under the bed?" Long Xi was shocked.
The room where the murder was always guarded by officials, and no one was allowed to approach even within three feet, let alone place bloody clothes.
Zhu Xingyi nodded, his expression grim.
Long Xi frowned and hesitated: "Could there be an inner ghost?"
"No, it won't. Zhu Xingyi immediately denied, "I have also checked the things in the room, it is impossible for the bottom of the bed to be missed, and I am sure that there was no bloody clothes at that time." ”
"Is the guard at the door reliable?" asked Long Xi again.
