184 Cause of death
There is actually nothing to see in the main room of Yongming County.
After all, it was only a guest night, there were almost no daily necessities, and a small number of items were also brought by the county lord of Yongming himself, so after walking into the room, Wang Yizhen soon found some problems.
Because the first accident was in bed, so Wang Yizhen also checked it first, and I have to say that there is also a smell of inferior plum blossoms and spices in the bed, and the most obvious is ......
"How can this wax oil drip on the bed? Your county lord still likes to sleep with a candle? Wang Yizhen used his hand to touch the wax oil that was burned in the raging fire, but it was not completely burned to the traceless, and asked the girl.
The so-called wax oil is, of course, the wax that drips when the candle burns, and on the inside of the bed where the county lord of Yongming sleeps, there is such a stall of wax oil.
Yahuan would never accept such an undishonorable hobby from her master. "Who sleeps with a candle? How could this be done by the county lord of my family? It must have been thrown into the bed by the murderer when he set it on fire. ”
...... "Girl, you just said that there are absolutely no outsiders in the house." And aren't you blackening yourself again with this sentence?
However, Yahuan's question is also everyone's question, because the door is locked from the inside, so naturally no outsiders should enter or exit, but of course there should be a murderer to kill people. The people in the house at that time were not only Yahuan who was the county lord of Yongming himself, if it weren't for Yongming's hobby of sleeping with candles, wouldn't it be the candle thrown by Yahuan? Otherwise, who would put a candle on the bed?
Wang Yizhen carefully uncovered the candle oil on the bed, leaned it to his nose and sniffed it, before he spoke: "It seems that this fire is really set by the county lord of Yongming himself." ”
"Nonsense, how is this possible?" The county lord of Danyang shouted excitedly. "Why did my son set himself on fire?"
"Of course she didn't want to burn herself, but at least the candle should have been brought to bed by herself, and she probably wanted to see something." Wang Yizhen took the wax oil in his hand and looked at it repeatedly, and then leaned in front of his nose and sniffed it vigorously, and then handed it to Xia Liangying beside him, and handed it to the prince after Xia Liangying saw it, and then the prince gave it to the princess, and the princess saw it before it reached the hand of the county lord of Danyang, so that everyone was silent.
Generally speaking, the so-called wax turns into ashes and tears begin to dry, which means that the candle burns when it encounters fire, and the ignition point breaks the lower limit, but in fact, wax oil is only melted when it encounters high temperatures, but it will not really be burned to ashes. If it is continuously heated, the wax oil may burn thinner and thinner, but it will not turn into ash, but after the wax oil drips, the area covered by it will be solidified by the grease, protecting the contents from the high temperature temporarily.
The piece of wax oil on the bed that Wang Yizhen lifted was a candle that burned out in the fire, and at the bottom of this candle oil, a corner of a piece of paper was condensed, and it was this corner of paper that Wang Yizhen let everyone see.
"The wax oil melts when it encounters fire, and generally speaking, what solidifies at the bottom should be the item he placed at that time, of course, normally no one would put a candle on a bed full of cloth, and then put a piece of paper underneath, is it simply afraid that the fire will not burn? However, it is precisely because of this that we can guess the situation at that time. Wang Yizhen said.
"What's going on?" The county lord of Danyang asked.
"At that time, the county lord of Yongming was reading a letter." Wang Yizhen said.
"At that time, it was probably late at night, Yahuan had already fallen asleep, and the county lord of Yongming quietly got up to read the letter. Because she didn't want Yahuan to find out that she was reading the letter, she moved the candle to the bed, and maybe even because she was afraid of being discovered, she covered herself and the candle with a quilt to cover the light and read the letter on the bed. ”
Only in this way will the light not penetrate to the outside world, and only in this way will she inhale an excessive amount of air containing incense powder in the first place, which will cause asthma. Only in this way will she lose the letter and the candle because of the illness, and set herself on fire, the candle pressed the letter paper, and the letter was burned, but the letter was only half burned, and the corner under the candle was crushed by the wax oil, so that the whole letter was not burned to ashes in the fire. ”
Wang Yizhen pointed to the piece of wax oil, which was being held in the hands of the prince at this time, and looked at it repeatedly, and the forehead lines on his head were wrinkled.
"Why do you just look at that piece of wax? Didn't anyone learn from me to smell it before? Wang Yizhen saw that the prince looked so carefully, so he encouraged: "Smell it, you can smell it, you can smell it, there is obviously a plum blossom fragrance on that piece of wax oil, that is to say, this candle is the cause of the accident of the Yongming county lord, so this fire is really burned by the Yongming county lord himself, so Yahuan fell asleep in the outhouse, and did not find out the situation in the house, that is to say, we only need to figure out who gave the letter that the Yongming county lord read, and the origin of this plum blossom candle, You can know who the person who harmed the county lord of Yongming is. Because the murderer left at least two flaws, the first is the candle, the other party must be a person who often corresponds with the county lord of Yongming, knowing that she will be allergic to plum blossom incense, so he will mix a large amount of plum blossom incense powder in the candle, and this candle must have been prepared a long time ago and specially prepared for the county lord of Yongming. The second is the letter, this letter must either be extremely important and confidential to the county lord of Yongming, the other party knows that she will definitely get up in the middle of the night, and read it secretly, not daring to let anyone know and find out. Therefore, for the county lord of Yongming, the letter is the point, and the candle is just an attachment, but for the opponent's murderer, the candle is the murder weapon, and the letter is only incidental. But both are related to the murderer, because the murderer must at least be sure that the county lord of Yongming will read the letter, in order to ensure that she uses candles, if she wants to find out the identity of the murderer, she must fall on the letter and the candle, the letter, I guess it should be her got it today, otherwise such an important letter, she will not put it for two or three days without looking at it, she has to take it to the day of the garden, and this candle thing, Yongming a county lord is unlikely to carry it with him, that girl, about these two items, especially candles, do you have any impression? ”
The county lord of Yongming has to carry the letter even to Yahuan, but he is afraid of the letter, Yahuan is not necessarily clear, otherwise she would not have to peek at the quilt in the middle of the night, but at least the candle thing, Yahuan should know, right?
As soon as Wang Yizhen said this, the county lord of Danyang immediately shouted: "Hongsheng, where did the letter come from the county lord's side?" ”
The girl's eyes looked at Wang Yizhen......
