Chapter 57: Divergent opinions
Of course, Chungui had no objections to Wang Ping'an's opinion, but she thought that this murderer didn't need to search for it with a big brain, and she also believed that Lan Ting and her views were the same, as soon as her thoughts came here, her eyes subconsciously looked at Lan Ting, only to see that the other party smiled at her, with a little encouragement and seemed to be comparative, Chungui was too lazy to twist, and Dafang took over the topic: "Ling Tang is a chronic poison, and the murderer must be a maid around Ling Tang who can touch food and drink, Moreover, the case of Wang Langjun's mother-in-law who was poisoned to death, the clues revealed are inseparable from Ning Si, both incidents are related to Ning Si, it is unlikely that it is just a coincidence, and Ning Si is very suspicious. ”
"In the case of my mother's poisoning, the murderer can't be contemplation." Wang Ping'an's conclusion about the return of spring was obviously a little unimpressed, and he just explained to Lan Ting: "Although we are not a high-ranking family, there are more than a dozen servants and maids in the mother's house, even if the mother serves the servants and maids who eat and live, there are six of them, it is not determined which one pours tea and pours water, which cloth vegetables serve soup, it is often on duty, at least three slaves and maids serve the meal, and if you want to hide the rest of the eyes, it is absolutely impossible to poison the diet. And the most trusted person in my mother is Ning Si, who handed over the collection of clothes, jewelry, money and silver materials to Ning Si, and she usually did not interfere in the use of food and medicinal food. ”
Lan Ting was still silent, and when Chun Gui saw this situation, he could only continue to question: "So according to Wang Lang's opinion, who is the murderer?" ”
"Maybe we should start in the kitchen." Wang Ping'an analyzed: "According to Dr. Qiao's diagnosis, the poisoning of the mother did not take more than three months, which should have happened after the death of the mother-in-law, and after the death of the mother-in-law, it was the Zheng family who took over the housework, perhaps she instructed the servant women in the kitchen to poison the mother's diet." ”
Chungui was also unconvinced by this inference: "What is in the hall is a chronic poison, and it will take at least three years to worry about his life, if the Zheng family is the real murderer, why not directly fall into the poison, but wait for three years?" ”
Qiao Zhuang also said: "This poison was created by a medical officer in the previous dynasty, and later this medical officer was bought by the favorite concubine, and killed the queen with this chronic poison, helping the favorite concubine to win the back position, although the toxicity of this medicine is slow, but it is extremely difficult to be detected, so it is suitable for the yin in the palace to conceal the harm, but this medicine is not suitable for the diet because of the bitter taste, otherwise it will be detected immediately, and it should be mixed into the decoction." ”
"That's Aunt Jane!" Wang Ping'an was determined.
"Aunt Zhen was in charge of decocting the medicine after Ling Tang was sick, right?" Chungui reminded.
Wang Ping'an also realized: "That's true, but if it's not Aunt Zhen, how did this chronic poison be added to my mother's medicinal soup?" ”
"Ling Tang is not in good health in the first place, does he often take medication for maintenance?" Spring return asked.
"Yes!" Wang Ping'an came back to his senses completely, this time he didn't dare to underestimate the opinion of Chungui, so he wanted to quickly take the pills that Zhou usually took to come and test, or Lan Ting finally spoke, asking him not to startle the snake, he secretly went to get the medicine himself, at that time, Lan Ting and his party had already gone back to the guest house like no one, Wang Ping'an sent the medicine here, and annoyed the serious and responsible Qiao Zhuangzai to carefully inspect it, and determined that the chronic poison / medicine really fell into the pills that Zhou's daily take.
At this moment, the case became more and more confusing.
Because this medicine is a cooked medicine, it is not refined by the Wang family themselves, it is the product of "Fukang Tang" in Fenyang City, under normal circumstances, it is purchased by the housekeeper from Fukang Tang on a quarterly basis and returned to the main house, and there are more than ten pieces left in this season, which have been inspected by Qiao Zhuang, all of which are mixed with chronic poisons.
"The murderer seems to be the one who bought off Fukang Tang and directly manipulated the pills." This result was actually much unexpected by Chungui, and she frowned slightly.
"The only person who can buy Fukang Tang can only be Zheng's mother and son!" Wang Ping'an recognized again.
"It's still that question, if it's really the Zheng family's mother and son who want to kill Lingtang, why do you need to go through such a big setback?" Chungui still refused to agree with Wang Ping'an's opinion: "If they have the ability to buy Fukangtang, why don't they simply mix the health pills with highly poisonous, and Ling Tang died immediately after taking them. ”
"Does Gu Niangzi still think that the murderer is contemplation?" When it comes to his mother's safety, Wang Ping'an is anxious, but he is inevitably impetuous, and his tone when retorting becomes more and more angry: "This is too ridiculous!" Slowly speaking, Meditation has no motive to poison his mother at all, even if this point is aside, Meditation is just a maidservant, where does the means come from to buy outsiders to poison her mother's medicine? ”
This is also a trick that Chungui can't figure out, but she does insist: "But the suspect who framed and poisoned Ling's mother is indeed contemplation." ”
"That's just a suspect, and besides, the death of my mother-in-law has nothing to do with my mother's poisoning?"
Seeing that Wang Ping'an and Chun Gui had different opinions, as if they were about to quarrel, Lan Ting proposed: "Lingtang's health pills don't have a few days left, so it's better to ask the housekeeper of your house to go to Fukang Hall to buy new medicines immediately." ”
Wang Ping'an didn't know Lan Ting's intentions, but compared to his questioning of Chun Gui, he was obviously more impressed by Lan Ting's judgment, and immediately acted according to the order, which made Chun Gui particularly congested - she didn't believe that Wang Ping'an was all due to rational analysis, and chose to believe in Lan Ting, this person could still be bluffed by Mo Wen Xiaodao, and his judgment ability can be seen, Wang Jialang clearly underestimated her as a woman, in the same way, if it were Lan Ting, the result would be the same!
Seeing that Chungui's face was unhappy, Lan Ting seemed to be able to peek into her thoughts, and smiled and comforted: "Actually, I have the same opinion as Huihui, and I also believe that Zhou's poisoning is inseparable from Ningsi, in fact, I suspect that the person Ning Si really wants to harm may not be the Bai family, at least not the Bai family, so I decided to let Ah Zhuang diagnose Zhou's pulse." ”
Chungui raised his eyebrows: "I knew that Wang Dalang despised women, just seeing that he cared so much about Ah Zhuang acupuncture for the Zhou family, he was obviously a pedantic and arrogant person!" ”
At this time, Zi Chungui's opinion of Wang Ping'an is completely bad.
However, Grandma Gu has always been broad-minded, even if Wang Ping'an is classified as a "worthless" person, since she promised to redress the Bai family's grievances, and sympathizes with Zhou's age, and is kind and kind, she didn't expect to be murdered, of course, she will not be perfunctory because of Wang Ping'an, but she still pays full attention to the inexplicable case of the Wang family.
What's even more inexplicable is that this time, the health pills that the housekeeper bought from Fukang Tang did not add any more poisons.
"Could it be that the pills were replaced after they were bought home?" Wang Ping'an really has no clue about such a strange and complicated case.
"No, except for the poison added to the last batch of pills, there is no difference in the composition of the two batches of pills, if they are really replaced after purchase, unless the murderer still knows how to refine the health pills of Fukang Hall." Qiao Zhuang denied Wang Ping'an's idea.
Chun Gui said lightly: "In my opinion, it should be that the real murderer's purpose has been achieved, so the newly purchased health pills don't need to be adulterated with poison at all." ”
"What do you mean by that? Didn't Dr. Qiao say that chronic poisons need to be taken continuously for at least three years to achieve a deadly effect? ”
"The purpose of the murderer using this chronic poison is not to poison Ling Tang's life at all!" Chun Gui still tried her best to explain the paradoxical thoughts in her heart: "The reason why I connected the two incidents of the Bai family and Ling Tang, and determined that Ning Si was at least an accomplice, was because Ling Tang was a chronic poison. First of all, contemplation supported the Sun family, and the poison of the grass black fell into the Bai family's diet, and put the grass black into the Bai family's living room, so that you can believe that the Bai family committed suicide by taking poison, firstly, it has the effect of covering up the crime, and secondly, it is also to pave the way for the poisoning of Lingtang. ”
She saw that Wang Ping'an frowned and was silent, with a still unconvinced look, so she simply didn't wait for him to stop her, and elaborated in one breath: "I guess, even if Mo Wendao didn't come to the door, Ning Si would find a way to spread rumors, making people wonder that Bai's death was strange, she concluded that the Zheng family would use these rumors to smear Ling Tang, and it would definitely fan the flames, and Ling Tang happened to be sick and bedridden, and it was difficult to heal for a long time, as if confirming the rumors, and since Ling Tang was sick, Ling Mei was also the daughter born to Bai, and she should serve her mother, at this time, Ling Tang suddenly died of poisoning because of the addition of grass to the decoction, let me ask if all the suspicions are focused on the three girls? ”
Seeing that Wang Ping'an was stunned at the end, Chun Gui felt that the depression in his chest was relaxed: "There is grass in the Bai family's house, and it is reasonable for the three girls to collect the grass and black, so the purpose of meditation is not to use the chronic poison to kill Lingtang at all, but to let Lingtang be poisoned by Caowu, and blame the three girls for the crime." ”
Chungui thought it was enough to convince Wang Ping'an, and sure enough, when she saw Wang Ping'an's head, she just breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't expect to hear a sentence-
"If it is true that as the lady deduced, Ning Si is indeed an accomplice, then the person who instructed Ning Si must also be the Zheng family!"
