Chapter 296: Self-Inflicted Cleverness
The smart Su Ting immediately understood the truth, the time to boil the medicine is no more than an hour now, the murderer just washes his hands, and he will also retain the medicinal smell of realgar, and there is one thing that he is most afraid of is its pungent medicinal smell. ”
Xiao Shi said: "I remember that my mother said that the medicinal smell of realgar is very strong, and snakes are most afraid of its smell, so you can use it to test who is the murderer." ”
"How smart is my son? What's good, mother looks at how you caught the murderer. ”
"Okay! Look at the son's! ”
Everyone looked at the mother and son in front of them in amazement, not knowing what the two of them meant, and why they were still involved in snakes.
Xiao Shi said to Liu Qing: "Uncle Liu! Please go to the garden and order someone to catch a snake. ”
Liu Qing listened and knew that this was the key to catching the murderer, so he hurriedly ordered to go down to find the snake.
Taking advantage of this time, Xiao Shi said: "Everyone is very curious, I will say that our nose alone can not smell the residual smell of realgar, only the animals that are afraid of its smell have the brightest sense and can distinguish it."
Xiao Yue and Chun'er glanced at each other, then paid attention to Xiao Shi, and listened to him: "I want to put the snake in the jar, if any of them is bitten by the snake on her hand, then she is not the murderer, on the contrary, the person who was not bitten, she is the murderer with residual male yellow on her hand." ”
Everyone understood, and the old lady deliberately repeated: "Little stone! Is it the murderer who was bitten by a snake? ”
"That's right! We put the snake in the jar, and the snake does not smell the nemesis, so it will attack the hand that reaches in, and the hand will bleed if it is bitten, and we only need to see whose hand is bleeding, who is not the murderer, and the suspicion can be cleared. ”
Xiaoshi muttered a few words in Liu Qing's ear, Liu Qing went down to see the situation of catching snakes, and after a while, Liu Qing led someone to catch a green snake as thick as a child's wrist, Liu Qing said: "I'll put it in the jar now, you guys prepare it, see who comes first?" ”
Liu Qing led people down, and after a while, he walked into the room with a black wine jar, covered it with a lid, walked to the table, and gently put the wine jar on the table.
Xiao Shi said: "Sister Xiao Yue! Do you come first or ......"
"To prove that I am not a murderer, I will come first, I will come first!" After speaking, trembling and walking to the wine jar, Liu Qing asked: "You are ready, I will start to open the lid, you just stretch out a hand to go in and don't move, let you come out, and you take it out again." ”
Xiao Yue nodded timidly, slowly stretched out her hand, and nodded slightly at Liu Qing, meaning that she was ready.
Satsuki put her hand in for a while, but her hand didn't feel pain, and she firmly remembered Xiao Shi's words in her heart, only those who were bitten by snakes were not murderers.
But after putting his hand in for a while, what's going on, is it destined to be considered a murderer today? I took it out in disappointment, and there was no wound when I looked left and right.
When Chun'er saw it, she was puzzled at first, and then said in surprise: "Take a look!" I said that she was the murderer, and that such a thick snake was afraid of her, and that her hands must have been exposed to poison, so I didn't have to try, the murderer was her. After saying that, he smiled proudly.
Xiao Yue didn't say a word, she still couldn't believe it, she looked at her hands left and right, and muttered to herself: "How is it possible, it can't be?" Why didn't you bite me! I'm not a murderer......"
The old lady shook her head in disappointment, Xiao Shi looked at it and said with a wink, "It's Sister Chun'er's turn this time?" ”
Chun'er was standing there proudly, and when she heard the call to herself, she wondered: "Hasn't it been proven that she is the murderer?" Do you want me to try? ”
"Everyone be fair, you have to try it all to be convincing, Sister Chun'er, please!"
Liu Qing looked at her hesitation and said, "After you try, I can also convict the murderer according to the law, don't waste time, try it quickly when it's late!" ”
"Naliu-sama! I'll just give it a try, and if it's done, let everyone rest as soon as possible! ”
Su Ting listened and said: "It's good to be alone once, it's relatively fair, if Miss Chun'er is bitten by a snake this time, it will completely prove her innocence, and Lord Liu will trust you more." ”
"Really? Then I'll go as soon as possible, anyway, it's just a formality, isn't it just a snake bite? And Dr. Su, isn't it? ”
After saying that, Chun'er walked quickly to the altar and slowly stretched her hand in, she saw Liu Qing catch the snake with her own eyes and put it on the table with the wine jar herself, but she was the murderer, and she definitely didn't feel the pain, what should I do? She pretended to be smart and showed a very painful look, and when she took out her hand, there were some blood stains on the palm of her hand, she deliberately looked at it, and said in surprise: "Oops! I was bitten by a snake? Looks like I'm really not a murderer? ”
When Satsuki saw it, she sat on the ground and cried, "How can this be? I'm the victim, not really me? ”
Chun'er shook the wound on her hand and dangled in front of her eyes: "Don't pretend, your hand that hasn't been bitten by a snake is proof?" ”
Liu Qing saw it, came to the old lady and said: "Mother is now conclusive, don't worry, one of them is loyal to you, and the other is harboring evil intentions, now you can finally sleep peacefully!" ”
The old lady looked disappointed and said, "I really didn't expect it!" Am I so good to her? But she wants to harm me, you can watch and deal with it! ”
Liu Qing listened and said, "Mother, is it okay for the son to detain her in the cell first and try her slowly?" ”
The old lady closed her eyes and waved her hand when she heard this, meaning that she was tired and didn't want to care so much.
Xiao Yue knelt on the ground and kept shouting: "Wronged! Wronged! ”
Liu Qing commanded: "Someone! Suppress Chun'er to the official. ”
When Mrs. Liu heard this, she was surprised, looked up at her son and asked, "What's the matter?" It's not Satsuki who is the murderer, how did she become Chun'er? ”
Chun'er was grabbed by her arms, struggled to break free, and said: "My hand is injured, which means that I was bitten by a snake, I am not a murderer, she is, let me go!" Old lady save me! ”
"Qing'er! What's going on? Tell me, if I really wronged Chun'er, how do you say I will explain it to my relatives! ”
"Mother! She wants to kill you, and you still plead for her like this, but your mother doesn't believe you! ”
After speaking, he picked up the jar and made a crisp "pop", and the wine jar fell to the ground.
The old lady looked at it fixedly, and there was nothing on the ground except the fragments of the wine jar? ”
The old lady suddenly realized at this time, slowly looked up at Chun'er, stared at the injury on her hand, pointed at her with a trembling hand and said, "You...... Where did you get this wound? ”
Chun'er hurriedly put her hands behind her back, but she couldn't move under the pressure of the official next to her, so she quickly explained: "Old lady! It's a snake...... No, no, no! It was accidentally scratched when it was just put in. ”
When Xiao Shi heard this, he continued: "This scratched, punctured, or bitten mother can tell at a glance, otherwise let the mother show her sister!" ”
"Bastard thing! I trust you so much! But thou hast done harm to me with the heart of a femme fatale, and hast thou been bitten by a serpent? Where are the snakes? The old lady scolded angrily.
"Old lady! It's not me, it's them who have joined forces to frame me! Right! Right! That's it, the first day their mother and son came, they didn't like me, and now this wild child who hasn't grown all the hair wants to harm me, no, how can such a child hurt people, it's all her...... She is trying to frame me, old lady, she did this today, and she also framed me and Xiaoyue! Old lady, believe me! ”
"Who do you say is the wild child! You are the big villain, you don't like us everywhere, if it weren't for my mother-in-law's illness, my mother and I would have moved out of the county office a long time ago, why are you still angry here! ”
"You're leaving! Who invited you to come! ”
"Presumptuous! When will it be your little girl's turn to call the shots, my guests! ”
"Lord Yanagi! Brother Liu! You're still protecting her, I'm a girl, hehe! I have never regarded myself as a girl, when the old lady brought me in, she said that she was a girl who had a room, and if we were in love, you would marry me.
"But it's been four years, and after four years, you haven't even looked at me, why are you now discussing behind my back to marry Dr. Su into the door, don't I know?"
After speaking, he struggled to wrestle his arms, and the more he talked, the more angry he became: "You guys don't like me together, don't you?" Then I won't let you have a good time, old woman, I waited for you for so long, you said that you turned your face and didn't admit it, I really regret why I didn't get more realgar, so that you couldn't get out of bed, and went to hell early. ”
"And you and your unlucky son, go to the west together, haha...... Heaven does not fulfill people's wishes, but today you are here to spoil my good deeds. Brother Liu! I really like you, I just want you to remember, even if I can't be your Liu Qing's woman, even if I hate me, I want you to remember me in this life. ”
Su Ting was sad when she heard this, and said, "Chun'er! Your love is too selfish and narrow-minded, and you should learn to tolerate the person you love, because your so-called love does not give you any right to hurt others, so if you go to such an extreme, it will only make Lord Liu hate you even more, or hate you. ”
"I don't care! Just let me stay by his side, but why did your presence break our peaceful life, so you have to disappear? After speaking, he glared at her with vicious eyes.
"So! You're going to pay someone to assassinate our mother and son? ”
Liu Qing and Old Madam Liu were stunned when they heard this, and suddenly realized, and their eyes looked at Chun'er, who was usually obedient to them.
Chun'er looked at everyone's disappointed attitude towards her, and sneered: "It seems that you are really smart, you are not only beautiful and know medical skills, but also very smart, if I am a man, I will be fascinated by you, but why do you want to seduce my big brother Liu!" I've been guarding him for four years, maybe ......"
Liu Qing didn't want to listen to it anymore, so she interrupted her and said, "No maybe!" I haven't been interested in you for four years, so I won't look at you for five or six years. ”
Chun'er's eyes were red, looking at him, listening to him say ruthless words to herself: "Brother Liu! I'm asking you one last thing, if the old lady is really poisoned and dies, will you hate me and remember me? ”
"Nope! , Because there is love to hate, I have never loved you from beginning to end, how can I hate you, and what you say will not happen, so you will soon be erased in my heart, Chun'er, you are self-inflicted! Someone bring it down! ”
Xiao Shi looked back and said, "Mother, Xiao Shi is tired and wants to go back to the room to sleep!" ”
After the matter was dealt with, Su Ting went back to the room with Xiaoshi tiredly.
