Chapter 199: The Smell of Garlic
Shi Lu wrapped the needle in a cloth and snatched it away.
This silver needle is much thicker than the silver needle commonly used by doctors, and there is a small eye on the tip of the needle, Shi Lu broke the silver needle, and the white powder in the needle fell out.
Shi Lu lit the fire fold he had brought with him, and slightly burned it on the silver needle stained with powder, and soon it emitted a smell of garlic.
Because there is less powder, the smell is not obvious, but for Shi Lu, it is enough to judge.
"It's arsenic."
Xin Jiuyuan and Hao Ren handed the person to Cao Min, Hao Ren took out the handkerchief around his waist, Shi Lu was flattered and was about to reach out to take it, but saw Hao Ren holding Xin Jiuyuan's hand and wiping it carefully.
Fortunately, he didn't stretch out his hand, otherwise the next one to break his hand would be himself.
Shi Lu removed a corner of his clothes, wiped his hands, wiped the toolbox again, and put the corner of his clothes stained with arsenic in the toolbox as evidence.
"My lord, what are they doing?"
Du Xiucai held his left hand, trying to cover up the past.
At this time, Fude Lu was uneasy, how could he care about him, because of his words, he almost killed the two masters, and the consequences were a hundred times more serious than deducting money.
Hao Ren threw the handkerchief that had wiped Xin Jiuyuan's hands into Du Xiucai's face, "I'll tell you what." ”
"Today, Lord Qincha issued an edict from the emperor, and the new city lord is among the talents of Meicheng, do you know about this?"
Du Xiucai hesitated, "Student ......"
"You know."
Hao Ren helped him answer, "Lord Qincha came here this morning, and your voice is very recognizable, even through the door, you can hear that it is the same person." ”
"Then Yuan Xiucai died at home, Ding Xiucai and Zhang Xiucai disappeared, and the body was found in Xu Xiucai's house half an hour ago."
"Shi Lu, when did the three of them die?"
Shi Lu replied, "Ding Xiucai and Zhang Xiucai died at the end of the hour, and Yuan Xiucai died at the end of the hour. ”
Hao Ren continued, "At the second moment, you are at home, using Lord Qincha to make an alibi for you, and it is true that you did not kill the person, but Yuan Xiucai died at your hands, am I right?" ”
"You spew blood, I am a scholar, I have read the books of sages, how can I do murder!"
Du Xiucai squirted excitedly, and Hao Ren hid aside in disgust.
At this time, Xu Xiucai, who was knocked unconscious, gradually woke up, and Hao Ren poured a cup of herbal tea and poured it on Xu Xiucai's face, which made him sober up instantly.
"Xu Xiucai, do you have anything to say?"
Xu Xiucai heard what Hao Ren said when he was half asleep, and he knew that what he had done was revealed, and his heart was like ashes.
"What you said is true, Ding Xiucai and Zhang Xiucai were killed by me, and Yuan Xiucai died at the hands of Du Ming."
"Xu Fang, you don't have to talk nonsense," Du Ming finished scolding Xu Fang, and turned to Fude Lu and said, "My lord, the student did not kill anyone, you must investigate this matter clearly and return the student's innocence." ”
Fu Lu lowered his head, his eyes and nose looked at his heart, Niangniang was investigating the case, and he was not qualified to speak.
"Investigation? Did you go to Yuan Xiucai's house to collect evidence? ”
Hao Ren expected that Du Ming would say this, and when she went out, she deliberately brought out the book that was stuffed into Xin Jiuyuan's arms at Yuan Xiucai's house in the morning.
Hao Ren walked up to Xin Jiuyuan, reached out and touched him in his arms, and took out the book.
"But this book, you want to talk about?"
Du Ming glanced up, "Etiquette", "Yes, it's this book." ”
Hao Ren opened the book and displayed the ink-colored shoe prints printed in the book in front of Du Ming, "This footprint belongs to Xu Xiucai." ”
"Yes, it's Xu Fang's."
"Then I'm curious......"
