Chapter 203: Understanding the Cause of Death
Hearing Du Yiming say this, Lizi sarcastically said: "Sister Feiyan won't marry you, you think too far and worry too much." ”
Du Yiming retorted: "In this world, no one knows and understands Sister Feiyan better than me, and she will inevitably become my wife in the end." I was too lazy to tell you, and I almost forgot to get down to business. ”
Du Yiming turned to Bai Haohong and said, "Brother Bai, the 'two-day broken intestines' has been made." ”
Liz interjected and asked, "Is it a few layers of sugar on the poisonous bread?" ”
"Sugar melts as soon as it gets into the stomach, so it's impossible to use sugar. I found that in Zhang's notes, there is an extremely indigestible material that can be made into 'sustained-release capsules'. ”
Bai Haohong asked, "What is a 'sustained-release capsule'?" ”
"To put it simply, the capsule is not easily dissolved, and it takes 24 hours in the body before it breaks. When the capsule bursts, the poison contained in it will come out, and at this time, the person will suddenly die of poison. In the Great Song Dynasty, the conditions are limited, and the process of making 'sustained-release capsules' is very complicated, so the output of 'two-day broken intestines' should not be large. Moreover, a capsule is only the size of a mung bean, and it can contain very little poison, and it takes thirty capsules to poison a person. ”
Liz asked suspiciously, "Let the victim eat an inexplicable pill, will others be so stupid?" ”
Bai Haohong said: "I'm also thinking about this problem, is there any way to make people eat it without realizing it?" ”
Du Yiming said: "It's okay to put it in a dish with a lot of ingredients. ”
Bai Haohong shook his head and said, "Many people only eat vegetables and don't eat ingredients. ”
Liz said, "You can put it in the eight-treasure porridge." ”
Bai Haohong nodded and said, "This sounds feasible. Yiming, did you bring the pills? ”
Du Yiming took out the medicine bag from his arms and handed it to Bai Haohong, Lizi brought another bowl of eight-treasure porridge, Bai Haohong poured the "two-day broken intestine powder" into the porridge, stirred it with chopsticks for a while, and then looked at the eight-treasure porridge and said: "I can't see that there is one more thing at all, it is feasible to put it in the eight-treasure porridge for people to eat." ”
Bai Haohong asked Du Yiming again: "Twenty-four hours later, the 'sustained-release capsule' bursts, and the poison enters the human body, what kind of symptoms do you have after poisoning?" ”
"The whole body sweats, spasms, violent convulsions, protruding eyes, vomiting blood-colored foam in the mouth, difficulty breathing, and in about ten seconds, the person dies."
After Bai Haohong heard this, he fell into deep thought, thinking: "Judging from the circumstances of death, the poison in the two ministers should be 'two days of broken intestines', and Miss Mei did not commit suicide, but was poisoned by 'two days of broken intestines'." ”
The next day, Bai Haohong told Zhanpeng about the "two-day broken intestines" and told him his views on the case. Zhan Peng listened and said: "It makes sense! I'm going to find out: Where did Lord Hao and Lord Zhu go on the first day of their deaths? ”
"Okay. I went into the palace to ask Gonggong Chen and see the background of Gonggong Cui. ”
Bai Haohong came to the palace and met Gonggong Chen. Gonggong Chen knew that Bai Haohong had been very busy recently, and when he suddenly came to find him, there must be something, so he sent the little eunuch next to him out to run errands. After there was no one else in the house, Bai Haohong asked Gonggong Chen in a low voice: "May I ask my father-in-law, does Gonggong Cui have any dealings with people in the rivers and lakes?" ”
Gonggong Chen also replied in a low voice: "It's hard to say, Gonggong Cui is good at socializing, and he has a good relationship with Master Ge, the commander of the 'Forbidden Army Palace', and it is not strange to have friends in the rivers and lakes." ”
"Father-in-law, have you heard about the talented girl Mei?"
"Our family heard that Miss Mei committed suicide, it's a pity, Your Majesty admires her very much. Is there anything suspicious about Miss Mei's death? ”
"There is no conclusive evidence yet."
"There is a saying, we can only tell you in private. In fact, when our family heard that Miss Mei was in the official family, we knew that she would not live long, and this was not the first case. We also heard that your sister-in-law is very cute, but she is a little silly. Fortunately, she is stupid, otherwise she is the second Miss Mei, and Concubine Xiang can't tolerate others competing for favor. Father-in-law Cui is Concubine Xiang's confidant, and he has won the trust of the official family, so he must be cautious about him, if he doesn't get it right, he will be burned. ”
After a pause, Gonggong Chen continued: "Listening to Grandpa Cui's introduction, your sister-in-law is very good at eating, and she is also hungry for the snacks in other people's bowls. There's just a box of snacks here, so take it back. ”
"Then thank my father-in-law. When I go back, I'll reprimand Liz well. ”
"No, she's better off this way. In my place, when Grandpa Cui talked about your sister-in-law, he laughed so much that tears came out. ”
Bai Haohong came back from the palace, handed over the dim sum to Lizi, and was about to go back to Dali Temple, Lizi said: "Brother Bai, you eat one first, otherwise, when you come back, there will be no one." ”
Bai Haohong said: "You like to eat so much, you can eat it all." ”
"How's that going to work! How could I do such an uneducated thing? I'm worried, Yiming and Sister Feiyan, I can't beat them, they want to rush to eat, and I can't stop them. ”
Bai Haohong then took one and took a bite. Seeing this, Lizi said with a smile: "Brother Bai, the one you picked seems to be the most delicious, let me try it too." ”
Bai Haohong pointed to the dim sum box and said, "There is the same one in it, go get it yourself." ”
Lizi swallowed her saliva, had an idea, and said, "Brother Bai, there is a small insect crawling on your snack." ”
Bai Haohong looked at it and said, "No." ”
"You bring it, I'll show you."
Bai Haohong handed the dim sum to Lizi closer, Lizi saw that the opportunity had come, opened his mouth and just wanted to take a bite, but unexpectedly, Bai Haohong quickly withdrew his hand, put the rest of the dim sum into his mouth, and said with a smile: "Do you still want to lie to me?" ”
Lizi muttered in her heart: "The indirect kiss failed, at least let Big Brother Bai feed me indirectly." She said, "Brother Bai, then you can help me pick and choose, the kind you just ate." ”
Bai Haohong found a piece in the box and handed it to Liz, Liz was very happy and wanted to eat it with Bai Haohong's hands. Bai Haohong stuffed the dim sum into Lizi's hand and said, "I'm leaving, you eat by yourself." ”
Xu Feiyan happened to come back, and when she saw this scene, she said to Bai Haohong: "Brother Bai, pick a piece of the same for me." ”
Bai Haohong pointed to the dim sum in Lizi's hand and said, "You just choose like that, I still have something to do, so I'll go first." With that, he walked out quickly.
Lizi looked at Xu Feiyan proudly, dangled the dim sum in her hand in front of her eyes, and said excitedly: "This is picked by Big Brother Bai for me, and it definitely tastes different." ”
Xu Feiyan raised her hand and knocked the dim sum in Lizi's hand away, then jumped up briskly, caught the dim sum and ate it, and said, "You are right, the dim sum picked by Big Brother Bai is delicious!" ”。
"Xu Feiyan, you, you ......" Lizi was so angry that she didn't know what to say, annoyed that her martial arts were not as good as Xu Feiyan.
