Chapter 28: The Cause of Cai Wanquan's Death
Zhang Sanlang called Di Renjie with water, Di Renjie washed his hands, and unconsciously fell into deep thought!
"Mr. Huai, Mr. Huai, have you ever tested for any poison?" He asked anxiously!
"The poisons that can kill people are nothing more than arsenic and grass poison, but these poisons take more than a day and a night from poisoning to death, but we and Lord Cai were only separated last night, and it has only been five hours since Lord Cai died, could it be that Lord Cai was poisoned before we wanted to meet us?" Di Renjie said puzzled!
"Who served the grandfather's meal yesterday?" Zhang Sanlang asked loudly!
"It's a lowly position!" A servant trotted back and forth!
"What did my grandfather eat yesterday?" Zhang Saburo asked!
"Yesterday morning, the grandfather ate steamed buns and gruel, the same as what we ate, at noon, the grandfather and several rich families in this county drank, and at night he was a little drunk, so he didn't eat dinner!" The officer replied!
"Oh? In this way, Lord Cai should not be poisoned in the food! "What a big deal!
"Hmmm! Mr. Huai, can you find out what kind of poison is in the grandfather's house? Zhang Saburo asked!
"I'll give it a try! In this way, San Lang, you go and prepare three liters of glutinous rice for the room to cook, and then prepare an egg, five liters of strong vinegar, and some brand new cotton wool! Di Renjie said!
"Good! I'm going to prepare! Although Zhang Sanlang didn't know what Di Renjie was going to do, he still did it one by one!
For about half an hour, Zhang Sanlang took a few officials to prepare all the things that should be done, and everyone dispersed, only Di Renjie, Li Yuanfang, Zhang Sanlang and others in the room!
Di Renjie took the egg, knocked out the egg white, poured it on the glutinous rice, and quickly mixed well!
"He Yanzuo, open Lord Cai's mouth!" Di Renjie said loudly!
He Da did so, and Di Renjie quickly pinched up a ball of glutinous rice balls the size of an egg and put it in Cai Wanquan's mouth!
At this time, the thick vinegar had already boiled, Di Renjie threw the cotton wool into the hot vinegar, and after a while, Di Renjie covered Cai Wanquan's whole body with the cotton wool soaked in hot vinegar, and sealed Cai Wanquan's mouth and nose tightly with straw paper!
After a while, I saw Cai Wanquan's body swelling slightly, and a foul smell hit, and several people in the house couldn't help but cover their noses!
Burst!
A fishy black juice squirted out of Cai Wanquan's mouth, and suddenly the house stinks!
"That's it!" Di Renjie said, taking off the straw paper covering Cai Wanquan's mouth and nose!
At this time, the glutinous rice ball in Cai Wanquan's mouth was already black, and it was even more smelly, Di Renjie took out the rice ball and put it aside!
Zhang Sanlang and He Da looked at Di Renjie's series of operations, and were shocked again!
"Mr. Huai, what are you?" He asked!
"He Yizuo, don't be impatient, you need to wait a little longer!" Di Renjie said!
After a while, the foul smell in the house dissipated a little, and the glutinous rice ball taken out of Cai Wanquan's mouth became as hard as a stone at this time!
"Sure enough!" Di Renjie said to himself!
"Mr. Huai, is there a result?" Zhang Saburo asked!
"Hmmm! The poison in this Lord Cai should be a poison called flamingo grass! It's just that this kind of poison is very rare, and I have only read it in an ancient book, and it only takes one to two hours for the poison to be poisoned, and the poisoned person just feels extremely thirsty, and after a while, he will bleed to death, and the turbid fluid in the body of the poisoned person will soon become hard if it is discharged from the body, like iron and stone! Di Renjie pointed to the sticky rice ball that had become hard and said!
Everyone looked at Di Renjie, and they couldn't help but have an incredible look on their faces!
Di Renjie continued: "Looking at the location of Lord Cai's death, he should have felt extremely thirsty after the poison, and wanted to pour water on the table to drink, but before he touched the Dao teapot, the person died of poison!" ”
"I haven't even heard of this kind of poison that Mr. Huai said, this is too unbelievable, I think my grandfather loves the people like a son, and he does his best to do his job, and he is even more kind to us, how can he provoke people to poison?" Zhang Sanlang asked puzzled!
"Was it really eventful last night? First the assassin assassinated, and then Lord Cai was poisoned and died, sir, do you think there is any connection between the two things? Li Yuanfang said on the side!
"At present, it is impossible to conclude that there is any connection between the two, but judging from the assassin's hasty assassination, it should not be the murderer who poisoned Lord Cai, since he chose to poison, it must not be a hasty move!" Di Renjie analyzed!
"Could it be that the assassin poisoned Lord Cai first, and when he was passing by outside your room, he overheard your words and made a temporary decision?" Li Yuanfang asked!
"I think it's unlikely! This poisoned person should be Lord Ben Cai, after the successful poisoning, he should be evacuated as soon as possible, Lord Cai's room is the main room of the three halls, from the east side immediately out of the wall, and the room we live in is located in the backyard wing, why does he have to go around to the backyard? Di Renjie asked rhetorically!
"This ......" Li Yuanfang didn't know how to answer for a while!
"Then according to what Mr. Huai said, there should be two gangsters, one of whom poisoned the master, and the other intended to assassinate Mr. Huai? And Brother Yuanfang said that the assassin might have heard your words and made a temporary decision, so what did Mr. Huai say that could lead to death? Zhang Saburo asked!
"I just talked to Yuan Fang about Zhang Fu's murder last night!" Di Renjie said!
"Could it be that the assassin is the real murderer of Zhang Fujia's murder, and he heard Mr. Huai talk about that case, so he wanted to kill Mr. Huai?" Zhang Saburo was shocked!
"Although this reason is valid, I always feel that the degree is not enough, I just chatted with Yuan Fang for a few words, at least I think he will not kill people because of these words!" Di Renjie said!
"Hmmm! What Mr. Huai said is reasonable, but I have always had a question, how did my grandfather get poisoned? Zhang Saburo asked!
"Although this flamingo grass is highly poisonous, it has a characteristic that it must be taken orally, even if it is a broken wound, it will not cause poisoning, so one thing is certain that the poison enters from Lord Cai's mouth!" Di Renjie said!
"That's strange, Lord Cai has eaten everything that others have eaten, but only Lord Cai has been poisoned, and the water in this teapot has also been tested, and it is not poisonous, so how did this poison come about?" Zhang Sanlang asked puzzled!
Di Renjie didn't speak, he went straight to Cai Wanquan's bed, staring at everything on the bed, and in the end, Di Renjie's eyes stayed on Cai Wanquan's pillow!
"Huh?" Di Renjie got closer, and on Cai Wanquan's pillow, Di Renjie found two red spots, like dried bloodstains!
Di Renjie suddenly looked up, and then said, "San Lang, go to the room!" Remove the tiles facing the head of the bed! ”
"Yes!"
