Chapter 441: The Only Remaining Clue

The dough must have been prepared last night, and after a night of heat warming, it is now very fluffy and still smelly.

Doesn't this mean that Zheng Liuniang was still alive last night?!

It's possible that she died this morning!

I looked closely at the dirt floor in the yard, and there were no traces of blood or fights on the ground. You know, if someone pushes in the mud, it's easy to leave footprints, and now it's not.

This indicates that there was no fighting at the scene. It may be someone Zheng Liuniang knows, or it may be a stranger who will not be guarded.

I entered the room.

This is the room where Zheng Liuniang and Chang Ci live. The room is small, and when you open the door, you can see everything at a glance.

On the left is the wardrobe. In the middle was a table with a tablecloth on it, a pen and ink ledger, and an extinguished oil lamp. On the right is a bed with neatly folded bedding.

I rummaged through it, and there was nothing unusual about the wardrobe or bed, except for something strange on the table.

Normally, the inkstone and pen and ink should be placed on the right hand side. And the tools on the stove just now are also on the right-hand side. Now, the table seems to have been deliberately arranged, seemingly neatly placed on the left side, and even the ledger is placed upside down.

I removed the ledger and found that if I looked closely at the tabletop, I found a circular water trail on the wooden table, which seemed to have been formed by placing a teapot for a long time. And now, there is no teapot on the table.

I happily lifted the tablecloth and found a piece of teapot underneath.

Splinter?

I carefully wrapped the pieces in a handkerchief and packed them in a pouch.

At this moment, I heard movement outside the door, as if Master Tiger's people were chasing after me.

Can't stay any longer.

I picked up the desk leader, jumped onto the roof, and crept through the yard of another family's house.

After I brought the ledger and the fragments of the teacup back to Huancui Building, I closed the door and sent the small bowl out of the door, while I went through the account books of the husband and wife pastry shop in the house.

In the evening, Mocheng sent someone to tell me the results of the autopsy.

Zheng Liuniang had no other external injuries, so she could only say that Zheng Liuniang was indeed poisoned because of what she ate, but whether the rice was poisoned or not, I don't know.

Poisoned because of what you ate?

Soon after, Xia Shufeng came.

When she heard that I was running a long street in the city, she was eager to try it, and in the past few days, she has been supervising the provision of medicinal materials in the pharmacy, and has been running between the Xia family's medicine field and the city. She had just returned from Xia's house at this time, and when she heard about what happened to the rice shop, she immediately came to me.

Xia Shufeng: "How can it be possible to poison people?" This rice was delivered by me personally, there could be no problem! ”

"Well, we may have been shaded."

I briefly recounted the process of Chang Ci discovering Zheng Liuniang's death, as well as the fragments of the teapot and the ledger I found at Zheng's house.

Xia Shufeng: "Even if she is poisoned, it is absolutely impossible to be poisoned by rice!" The pastry shop is very busy in the morning, and many people who come to Changjie to buy vegetables will take a few pastries home. She wasn't working in the pastry shop at this time, why was she at home? ”

"I'm wondering about it, too. The dough she had prepared the night before was still in the barrel and was on the stove, and she must have been about to open the shop when she was stopped. Moreover, this tea set is also very strange. "I pulled out the pieces.

Xia Shufeng guessed: "Do you want to find a doctor to check, will this fragment be poisonous?" ”

I nodded: "I've already sent Xiao Wanwan to find Xiao Wuhua, his dog nose can smell everything." However, when I looked through the accounts, I also saw strange things. ”

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
