Gu Chuyu sensed the obstacle from his clothes, and when he looked back, he saw a face that was very beautiful without makeup but very suitable for him, but those star-like bright eyes were looking at him pitifully.

He looked down, and what he saw was that the corner of his coat was held in her hand......

"Xiao Xiao, what do you mean?"

"Don't go...... All right? Mei Xiaoren held the corner of his clothes, and his tone was extremely gentle. If you ask someone, you should be polite.

Gu Chuyu returned to her and sat down, smiled slightly, and pretended to be curious: "Why do you want me to stay?" ”

"Naturally, I want to ...... with you" Mei Xiaoren paused and pursed his lips.

"Huh?"

"I want to talk to you about the case."

As soon as Mei Xiaoren's words fell, he immediately attracted a roll of his eyes. She frowned, "Unwilling? Then just talk about something. ”

Gu Chuyu turned sideways and hugged her into his arms, and only after a long time did he reluctantly respond: "Okay." ”

Some people said that they wanted to talk with him at night, but when he came back from the candle flame, his tired eyes were closed, and he was sleeping deeply.

He had heard her talk about the ins and outs of the past, and he could roughly imagine the situation when the murder occurred, and he knew that the shock of such a scene should not be light.

Gu Chuyu lay down beside Mei Xiaoren and held her hand on the pillow. She kept him because she relied on him, instead of choosing to resist alone no matter how wronged and fearful she was before.

Early the next morning.

Mei Xiaoren got up very early, put on his official uniform and combed his makeup, and did not rush to the yamen, but sat at the stone table outside Yingtai, holding an empty teacup in his hand, pondering alone.

Gu Chuyu came out of the house, and when she saw her engrossed attention, she couldn't bear to come forward to disturb her, but she couldn't bear to be sad about a case from morning to night.

It's not so much that she's solving the case, it's better to say that she's fighting back, and with her strong temperament, she will never let go of the person who set her a trap.

"What comes to mind?" He walked over to her and asked.

Mei Xiaoren was at a loss, still holding the teacup and refusing to put it down, sighing: "It's just an empty cup, what can I see, I still don't know what Xiuyu wants to express, she grabbed the teacup, does it mean that the person's name is related to the cup, or is the person fat like a round teacup?" ”

"Let's go." Gu Chuyu said nothing, and walked outside.

Mei Xiaoren was in a fog: "What are you doing?" ”

"Go to the tea shop."

The tea shop where Xiuyu and Mei Xiaoren met was at the end of the East Market, near the East City Gate. This is neither the South Camp nor the North Camp, and the forbidden army will not pass by this place even if they return to the barracks after completing an errand, so she knew that things were not simple when she saw Gao You leading troops to appear yesterday.

She had ordered the officials to surround the tea shop, and until the case was solved, no unrelated people should be allowed in, and even everything in the building must be kept as it was.

Mei Xiaoren followed Gu Chuyu to the second floor, except for Xiuyu's body, which had been carried back to the yamen, everywhere was still the same as when the crime occurred, and even the fragments of the teacup on the ground had not been moved, but the poisonous tea spilled on the ground had dried up.

Gu Chuyu walked to the table and silently looked at everything he could see in his sight, looking at them carefully one by one.

Although the floor was messy, the table was neat, with a teapot and a clean teacup neatly placed in the middle of the table, and the other three sides were clean, only one of them placed two cups irregularly.

One cup stood on the edge of the table, and it contained most of the half cup of tea; The other was upside down on the table, an empty cup.

Mei Xiaoren pointed to the seat where Chu Yu's eyes came, and said, "Xiuyu sat there yesterday, she poured me tea, I didn't drink it, let her drink it, she really drank it." He pointed to the teacup on the table that still contained tea, "This is it." ”

By the way, she pointed to the upside-down one next to her, "Xiuyu grabbed this before she died, and at that time she had a breath left, and she grabbed this cup from the table, but she swallowed as soon as she got it." ”

"She died of poisoning, where did the poison come from?"

"Naturally, it's in tea, but the people in the criminal department have repeatedly tested the tea in the cup and pot many times, and it is non-toxic." Mei Xiaoren paused, looked at the debris on the ground and said, "On the contrary, the cup of tea that Xiuyu drank is the poisoned tea, and it can be seen that the poison is only in her cup." ”

"Why is her tea poisonous?"

"When I came, there was no one else here except her, it can't be someone else's order, after all, Xiao Ershang has a pot of tea, and there is no one in the pot, and the poison will not run into the Xiuyu cup by itself, and people can't poison her cup in front of her." Mei Xiaoren said again, "Besides, she found poison on Xiuyu's body, which can confirm that the poison was inflicted by herself." ”

"Leaving aside the facts of her death, just look at her motives, her purpose is to poison you, where will she poison you?"

"The tea she poured in front of me could only be poisoned in a teapot beforehand."

"She also drinks the tea herself, and besides, you let her test the poison, she knows that she has been poisoned but she never hesitates, why?"

"Looking at her appearance before she died, she shouldn't have wanted to die, she dared to test the poison with her body, which means that she knows that she won't die, the reason is ......" Mei Xiaoren pondered for a while, and said slowly, "She has an antidote?" ”

Mei Xiaoren suddenly remembered one thing, there were two packs of powder that I searched from Xiuyu's body, which could just support her idea. Xiuyu brought the poison and the antidote, but the so-called "antidote" was actually a packet of powdered sugar......

Xiuyu would carry the sugar powder with her as an antidote, indicating that she did not know that it was sugar powder, and she could deduce that the poison and antidote were not her own.

Gu Chuyu also looked at the things on the table, and did not disturb Mei Xiaoren to deliberate alone. She couldn't figure it out before, just because the clues she knew were complicated, and it was inevitable that they would be chaotic when mixed together, but in fact, it only took a little bit to get through.

"Xiuyu poisoned me, guessed that I would let her test the poison, so she prepared the antidote, and the antidote had been placed in her cup in advance, she thought that she would be fine after drinking the poisoned tea and drinking the antidote, but ......" Mei Xiaoren frowned, "but in fact, she put the sugar in the teapot, and the poison in her own cup was ......"

"Go on."

"A person who doesn't want to die will not be so careless as to confuse poison and antidote, the reason can only be that the 'antidote' she thinks is actually poison, and she treats the 'antidote' as 'poison' in the pot." Mei Xiaoren speculated here, his expression became more and more solemn, "This is not the negligence of the person who gave her the medicine, because the antidote is bluffing, it can be seen that the master envoy didn't want to save Xiuyu's life at all, not only would he not detoxify her, but he also deliberately reversed the properties of the medicine and coaxed her to poison herself." ”

She couldn't help but take a breath, no wonder Xiuyu let out such an exclamation before she died, because she still trusted the mastermind before the poison attack......

"That's the truth you want, and then speculate on who the mastermind is."
