Xing Ruyi looked at Bi Tao with a smile and asked, "Do you think the murderer is this cousin?" ”

Bi Tao opened her mouth and just wanted to say yes. The eyes were as good as they could be, and after a little hesitation, Fu Fushen said: "This kind of thing, how dare Bi Tao talk nonsense, I just think that Miss Cousin was very bad to my young lady in the past, so I will have that speculation." ”

"The situations you mentioned, the adults will go to investigate."

When Bi Tao heard this, she turned around and knelt down directly at Liu Sheng: "I beg Lord Kuai to avenge my young lady, my young lady is really pitiful." Bi Tao has been by Miss's side since she was a child, and she knows Miss's personality best. Whether it's in our house or someone we don't know outside the house, Miss is very good to them. Mademoiselle deserves to end up like this. ”

"We'll check, you go down first." Yanagi nodded.

Bi Tao pursed her lips and glanced at Liu Sheng, got up, and walked out with her head down.

"Are you suspicious of her?"

After Bi Tao left, Liu Sheng asked Xing Ruyi in a low voice.

"Miss Qin is a boudoir lady who doesn't go out of the door and doesn't go out of the second door, and the chance of resentment with outsiders is not great, and the chance of being murdered to death is even smaller. Especially, it is still in a private place like a boudoir, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. can quietly mix the pollen of oleander flowers into Miss Rouge, and after Miss dies, calmly smear those inferior rouge on her cheeks, the murderer must be someone who is familiar with Miss and knows the Qin family very well. Only such a person can calmly do all this without being suspected.

Mrs. Qin, her cousins, Bi Tao, and those who were familiar with Miss Qin in the past are all within my suspicions. I'm not just suspicious of Peach. ”

"What was the cause of Miss Qin's death?"

"It should be chronic poisoning." Xing Ruyi turned back to the bedside and stabbed a silver needle into the young lady's skin. The silver needle is slightly black, but the color is still light, and it is somewhat different from the person who died of poisoning: "Someone put chronic poison in Miss's meal, and there is more than one, and the other party is very strict about the amount of poison, so the toxin is accumulating slowly." In this case, the poisoned person will not be aware of it. But I still think it's a little strange, judging from the toxin content in Miss's body, it shouldn't be poisoned to death. ”

"Didn't you get poisoned?"

"I need to check it in detail again, please let these catchers get out first."

Xing Ruyi said as he moved to untie Miss's clothes. Yanagi only glanced at it, then waved his hand to let the trappers guarding the door retreat outward, and at the same time turned his body on his back.

After about a cup of tea, Xing Ruyi put on Qin Shuyao's clothes and said to Liu Sheng: "Okay!" ”

"Found it?"

"Found it!"

"What is the real cause of Miss Qin's death?"

"It's this." Xing Ruyi pointed at Miss Qin's nostrils: "Just now, I used about a cup of tea to carefully examine Miss Qin from head to toe, from the inside to the outside, and finally, I found some strange things in her nasal cavity that should not exist in her nasal cavity. ”

"What's that?"

"Snake venom!"

"Snake venom? Isn't it the pollen of oleander peach blossoms? ”

"No, at least the cause of Miss Qin's direct death was not oleander pollen or other chronic poisons. I just said that someone in the mansion did poison Miss Qin, but what the other party wanted was that Miss Qin would die naturally in silence, and it did not attract the attention of the government as it is now. According to the toxin content in Miss Qin's body, at most, she will accumulate too much toxin, causing lesions in multiple organs of the body, and she will slowly die of illness under the witness of everyone. However, Miss Qin did not [die of illness], but was poisoned by snake venom.

Well, the murderer should have dipped the snake venom on a murder weapon like the silver needle in my hand, and then stabbed the silver needle into the nose of the young lady while Miss Qin was asleep, allowing the toxin to invade the young lady's body. Because it is a nasal poison, and the amount is very small, it slightly delays the time of some young lady's poison.

Oh yes. When the young lady died of poison, the murderer should have been in the room. No matter what kind of poison it is, when the poisoned person shows symptoms of poisoning, there will be some external manifestations, such as bleeding from the nostrils, foaming at the mouth, twitching of the limbs, etc. You see here, at the lower end of the lady's nose, there are some traces of rubbing. These marks were so light that they could not have been seen when the young lady had just died, but as the body changed, they also floated up.

When Miss Qin was poisoned, she should have had nosebleeds and uncomfortable nose, so she wiped it with her own silk handkerchief, and the murderer also used this silk handkerchief for final treatment after Miss was poisoned and died. It is impossible for a standard boudoir lady not to have such a thing as a silk handkerchief on her body.

Also, the murderer was very careful and deliberately arranged the scene, but no matter how careful the murderer is, there will be times when there are mistakes. In the cuffs of the young lady, I found these blood stains. Xing Ruyi turned up Miss Qin's right sleeve a little. Si Pa is no longer in the room, and should have been taken away by the murderer. As for the murder weapon, of course, it is impossible for the murderer to remain at the scene. At this time, it is estimated that even if the big brothers want to find it, they will not be able to find it. ”

"It's the first time I've seen such a deliberate method of killing."

"It's the first time I've done it. The murder weapon is gone, and there are too many murder suspects, I guess your case is not easy to investigate. ”

"Then check them one by one, I believe that the heavens are clear, and there is no reason why I can't find him."

"For the sake of Lord Liu's attitude of handling the case so seriously, I will give you some more clues.

First, it may be two people who killed Miss Qin and insulted Miss Qin's body. The murderer is most likely a man, and he is also a man who is familiar with Miss Qin. Because only a man can take Miss Qin to the dresser after her death and make it appear that she died accidentally.

The woman in the house should not have this psychological quality, as well as the corresponding physical strength, and when I checked it just now, I found that Miss Qin was not perfect. Lord Liu should still remember what Fang Cai Bitao said, she said that Miss didn't have a good person. So this thing is a little suspicious.

As for the second person I just mentioned, I originally suspected that she was the murderer, and that she was the one who killed her with rouge gouache. But now, I overturn the conclusion I just said. This, naturally, was the real cause of Miss Qin's death. Second, Miss Qin was deliberately faked after her death. Third, in the boudoir, there was no box of inferior rouge, indicating that this box of rouge was carried by this person. Painting Miss Qin's face like this may have been just her temporary idea. But, no matter what, this person who insulted Miss Qin's body had some trouble with Miss Qin.

Although the cousin is suspicious, but according to her status and status, she should not use these inferior rouge gouaches, and it is recommended that Lord Liu still focus on checking the maids in the house, especially those who can freely enter and exit the lady's boudoir, who usually have a low status and a small income, but they are very beautiful rough girls. ”

"I see." Liu Sheng walked to the back of the door, opened the door directly, and whispered a few words to the catcher waiting at the door.

In the evening, the maid who insulted Miss Qin was found.

The maid's name is Zhuzhu, and she is a rough girl in charge of pulp and laundry in the house, she is seventeen years old and has a somewhat obedient temperament, but she is still quite quick to do things on weekdays.

Miss Qin's clothes are mostly washed by Zhuzhu, which is washed twice every two days. The day Miss Qin was killed, it happened to be the day when Zhuzhu gave her clothes. She knocked on the door, and when no one answered, she walked in with her clothes in her hand.

As usual, she pushed open the door of the lady's boudoir and placed the washed clothes on the cabinet on the right side behind the door. Just as he was about to turn away, he saw the young lady lying on the dresser through the beaded curtain, looking at herself motionless. She was frightened, and quickly bowed her head to apologize, saying that she didn't know that the young lady was in the room.

After waiting for a while, but the young lady did not respond, he was curious, so he boldly walked up to him and took a look. Only then did I find out that the young lady was dead.

She was scared and worried about getting into trouble, and she wanted to leave quickly. But when his eyes stayed on the young lady's face, he somehow gave birth to such thoughts. So he used the rouge he carried with him to smear two pieces on the young lady's cheeks, followed him out of the young lady's boudoir, covered the door and left.

Zhuzhu swore that when she went to deliver the clothes to Miss Qin, Miss Qin was already dead, and when she died, her eyes were still open. She was frightened, so she closed her eyes with her hand. She said that there was only one thing she did, and that was to apply some rouge to the young lady's face.

Lin Hu showed Zhuzhu's confession to Xing Ruyi, who only glanced at it, and then nodded: "She is indeed not a murderer, she should just smear inferior rouge on Miss Qin's face as she said." ”

"A maid, seeing that her young lady is dead, didn't hurry up to inform the old lady, and even had the heart to put rouge on the young lady's face, is this maid's brain sick?"

"It's not that the brain is sick, but that the heart is sick." Xing Ruyi pointed to one of the sentences in Zhuzhu's confession: "Look here, Zhuzhu said that she originally wanted to leave, but when her eyes stayed on the young lady's face, she somehow gave birth to such thoughts. That kind of thought refers to applying rouge to the young lady's face, and it is the kind that is ugly. This shows that she doesn't like Miss's face from the bottom of her heart. The reason for not liking it may be because the young lady is better looking than her.

I've never seen this bead, but I think it looks average. If it is simply because the young lady is good-looking, it is obviously a little unreasonable to insult the young lady's corpse. Therefore, behind this unreasonableness, there must be a reasonable reason. Zhu Zhu is very likely to like a man, and this man is very likely to like Miss. That's why Zhuzhu does these things. ”

"A man?"
