Chapter 224: Rumors
"I went for an autopsy, and the family was not burned to death, but poisoned. All of them were hit with arsenic. Frost. Mu Chenyu said in a deep voice.
"What!" Shangguan Juan's eyes widened in surprise when he heard this, this is important news, if he can find out the purchase of arsenic from the pharmacy. Wouldn't the frost people be able to find the murderer faster? Unexpectedly, Mu Chenyu not only had a bright brain, but also had a lot of ability, he was able to successfully avoid the eyes and ears of the officers and soldiers, sneak into the scene of the crime, and successfully performed an autopsy.
"Xiao Jiu, you are amazing!" Shangguan Wan was overjoyed, and her eyes were also shining.
Vanilla and tassel glanced at each other, and their hearts changed their views on Mu Chenyu.
"Tassel, you immediately take someone to the major pharmacies to search, be sure to find all the arsenic that you have bought at the pharmacy recently. Frost man! Shangguan Wan commanded, and even there was a hint of joy in his voice.
The tassel was handed over, and just as he was about to do it, Mu Chenyu took out a piece of paper from his arms: "This is arsenic purchased in major pharmacies in recent days." The list of frost people, suspicious people I have circled. ”
Shangguan Juan took the list from Mu Chenyu's hand with satisfaction, glanced at the name circled in red on it, and couldn't wait to hug Mu Chenyu and kiss her, pressing her impulse, she threw herself into Mu Chenyu's arms: "God, Xiao Jiu, you are really my lucky star!" Why are you so smart, don't you ......?"
Shangguan Qian put his hands behind his back and approached him.
Mu Chenyu tilted his neck back slightly, and when he saw that she was about to touch the pink lips of his chin, he blushed nervously. Shangguan Wan didn't know it, and continued: "It's not that you have been with me for a long time, so you have become as smart as me." ”
After speaking, Shangguan Juan found that Mu Chenyu blushed, she bent her lips and laughed, then straightened up and distanced herself from him.
Mu Chenyu coughed lightly, but she didn't see the playfulness in her eyes.
Vanilla sighed in her heart, thinking that she had misunderstood Mu Chenyu, she was not only happy that she had not seen the wrong person, but also secretly blamed herself for not trusting him, she couldn't help but apologize to Mu Chenyu: "Xiao Jiu, we misunderstood you just now, you don't care about the villain, don't be angry with us." ”
"Yes, yes, I didn't expect you to be so smart, the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, so don't worry about us little women." The tassel continued with Vanilla's words.
Mu Chenyu nodded: "I'm tired, I'll go back to the room first." ”
Shangguan Wan covered his mouth and smiled, seeing that the red on his face had not disappeared when he left, he couldn't help but laugh, it seemed that he was sometimes quite thin-skinned.
"Vanilla, tassel, you're tired all day, go back and rest early. Tomorrow morning, we will go door-to-door to check the people on the list. Shangguan said.
Vanilla lowered her eyes and thought: Miss slept all afternoon today, and she didn't know that the gate outside the house had been blocked by the people, so let's not talk to her yet, otherwise I'm afraid she won't be able to sleep well tonight......
In unison with the tassels, the two of them lowered their heads and walked out of Shangguan Juan's room quickly.
Shangguan Juan sat under the lamp, took the list given by Mu Chenyu and looked at it carefully, and decided to start with the first person in the red circle, Shangguan Juan put the list under the pillow, intending to sleep well.
The next day, Shangguan got up in a daze, got down, yawned, and called, "Vanilla, vanilla? ”
Because of something on her mind, she didn't sleep well last night, and even her eyelids were very heavy.
Vanilla responded, pushed the door in, rubbed her worried eyes and walked to Shangguan Juan's side: "Miss, why did you wake up so early?" ”
"I can't sleep. You can help me with my make-up first. Shangguan Wan yawned again as he spoke.
Vanilla cleaned up for her as quickly as possible, and as soon as the day dawned, the four of them were ready to leave.
Shangguan Juan led the three of them towards the gate, and when Vanilla saw this, she dissuaded: "Miss, why don't we go out through the back door?" ”
Shangguan was puzzled: "Why?" The house we went to check today was on East Street, closer to the main entrance. ”
Vanilla hesitated, should she tell the truth to the young lady?
"Listen to me, go through the front door." Shangguan Wan said, she had planned the route in her mind yesterday.
Seeing that Shangguan Wan had made up her mind, Vanilla obediently shut up, and when she was about to reach the gate, the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion saw them and walked over quickly. The housekeeper bowed to Shangguan and saluted: "Miss, the main door has not yet opened, you can go out through the side door." ”
Shangguan Juan felt even more strange, she just wanted to go through the main gate, why didn't the two of them want her to go out through the main gate? There was some speculation in my heart, and I couldn't help but say: "When do I want to go out, there is still a reason not to open the door?" I'm going through the front door! ”
The housekeeper couldn't stop her, and there was no way to take her, so he followed her all the way to the main entrance.
"Miss, this ...... Do you really want to open the door? The housekeeper hesitated.
"Open." Shangguan Wan said, she wants to see why she can't go to the front door.
The housekeeper was helpless, and raised his hand to signal the little servant to carry away the door latch.
Shangguan Juan took his hand and just walked outside the gate of the Hou Mansion, when suddenly a group of people swarmed up and surrounded Shangguan Juan.
"Murderer, murderer!" Someone gritted his teeth and said.
Shangguan Juan didn't know who pushed him, took two steps back, and was stopped by someone and hugged him. She turned her head and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Mu Chenyu's face.
"Shangguan Juan, don't rely on the fact that you are Miss Houfu, we don't dare to do anything to you. My cousin's family was killed by you, killing people pays for their lives, killing people pays for their lives! "There was a man with unkempt hair who came towards Shangguan Juan, and he held a stick in his hand and raised the stick to hit Shangguan Juan.
"Miss be careful!" The tassel flew into the crowd, kicked off the stick in the man's hand, and pulled out his sword to protect Shangguan Juan. At this time, the guards of the Hou Mansion rushed out and rushed into the crowd to protect Shangguan Juan in the middle.
Shangguan Wan's heart palpitated, looking at the man with eyes full of hatred, she tried to explain: "No, the clear is self-purifying, I went out this time to investigate this murder and return my innocence, please also give me a chance, believe me once." ”
"You murderer, why should we believe you!" The man was irrational, but he couldn't fight the sword of the Hou Mansion guards with his bare hands, so he could only stand in place and roar.
"Like, who knows if you're going to destroy the corpses? If you don't have a ghost in your heart, you shouldn't step out of the door of the Hou Mansion! Another member of the people chimed in.
Most of the people guarding the gate of the Hou Mansion are relatives and friends of the deceased, and they all come here to seek justice for their deceased relatives.
Shangguan Juan didn't expect that everyone's misunderstanding of herself was so deep, and she didn't listen to her explanation at all, she lowered her eyes, and finally understood why they didn't want her to go through the main door.
The people shouted to let Shangguan Juan return to the Hou Mansion, but Shangguan Juan was forced to retreat to the mansion under the cover of the Hou Mansion guards.
