Chapter 7: Appearances

"The two bodies were thrown, a woman, between fifteen and eighteen in age; The other was a man, about seven feet tall. "This is a clue that can be seen on the scene now.

"How do you know?" Song Li'er looked at those footprints and found nothing.

"The embroidery on the cloth in the hands of the deceased is a woman's dress, and most women between the ages of 15 and 18 will choose lotus pink or brighter colors." After Jiang Zhu finished speaking, he glanced at the color of Song Lier's clothes, the light lotus pink arrow sleeve brocade dress, light and flexible. It's just that I don't know why Jiang Zhu remembered the playfulness under the pale yellow pleated Ruyiyue skirt on Song Lier's body that night, which was cute.

"Seems to make sense." At least now Song Lier can't find a reason to refute.

"Take it." No matter how many clues there are, there is no point in staying.

"Jiang Shaoqing, do you think that this case is also the work of the family, otherwise ordinary people will not be able to poison the deceased for a long time." Song Li'er shook her mind for her thoughts. If so, what are people doing this time for? Money? Could it be that money is really worth the life of a loved one?

What Song Lier thought, Jiang Zhu had already thought of it. Combined with all the cases from a few years ago, all the deceased had some amount of strychnine in their bodies. It's just that some of them have been drinking all year round, and there is no way to check the amount of strychnine. And strychnine has a certain effect on the treatment of stomach pain, and many people will have a record in the hospital, so they don't know where to start. This also made the cases in the early years either end with the death of alcoholism and overkill, or become unsolved.

The case was temporarily clueless, and Song Lier followed Song Wanjing home to rest.

"I finally remembered." Song Li'er slapped Song Wanjing on the back: "I saw the deceased in the Li Mansion the day before yesterday. His pale and terrible face made a special impression on me. I remember saying that it was because he had not seen the light for many years. In addition, Li Shilang has stomach pain. ”

"Are you sure?" Song Wanjing grabbed Song Li'er's shoulder excitedly and shook it.

"I'm sure." Song Lier felt a little dizzy.

was affirmed, and Song Wanjing directly dragged Song Lier to Jiangfu.

The new neighborhood of Jiangfu in the east of the city is relatively close to the Song Mansion.

On Jiang Zhu's side, as soon as he stepped into the doorrail with his front foot, he was stopped by Song Wanjing, who rushed over. Song Li'er in the back was panting with her waist in her waist, not looking like a lady, but like a gentleman.

"The day before yesterday... In the "

"Don't worry, speak slowly." Jiang Zhu said.

Song Li'er took a deep breath and repeated what she said to Song Wanjing to Jiang Zhu.

"Is it that as long as it is found out that Li Shilang has strychnine in his body, the whole thing can be solved." Song Wanjing thought.

"Are you suspicious of Mrs. Li?" Song Lier noticed.

"Aren't you?" Song Wanjing thought that Song Lier already knew the whole thing.

"No, I just thought that Li Shilang had a stomachache, so I mentioned it." Song Li'er was completely in line with the idea of saying it casually, of course, the previous thing was to provide clues.

Song Wanjing, Jiang Zhu......

"But brother, you just thought completely wrong." The Song Mansion is the cultivation of medicinal herbs, and the Song family will have medicinal herbs with a wide range of practicality, such as strychnine.

"You forget that I also have a stomachache, which means that I also have strychnine in my body. But I'm fine. So for a person with a stomachache, it is very normal to have strychnine in the body. Besides, strychnine does not cause any harm in the right amount. Song Lier shook her head, no wonder Daddy was unhappy. The two Lang Jun in the family don't know much about these herbs.

"What are the herbs that are compatible with strychnine?" Jiang Zhu suddenly asked as if he remembered something.

"I really can't remember you asking that. Wait! Song Li'er twisted her brows and circled around Jiang Zhu and Song Wanjing a few times: "That's right, Yan Husuo." It has an analgesic effect. When the stomach hurts a lot, consuming Yanhuso can relieve the pain. If both are used at the same time, it is a deadly poison. And in the flower garden of the Li Mansion is planted Yanhusuo, which I sent over last month. ”

Jiang Zhu sorted it out in his mind and went directly to Yizhuang.

Song Li'er and Song Wanjing were still confused, so they had to follow Jiang Zhu when they saw this.

went to Yizhuang, Chen Xueqing was coming out of Yizhuang.

Chen Xueqing looked at Jiang Zhu and smiled: "Jiang Shaoqing, let's go together." I've checked, there is a Yanhuso, and the measurement is very small. But after eating it for about a month, it can already cause death. And because the measurement is so small, it is almost imperceptible. ”

Chen Xueqing thought of this, also because Song Li'er would occasionally mention the herb of Xiangke in front of him to make him pay attention to it.

"Call it a day."

In the evening, a dark shadow entered and exited the Li Mansion again, and soon disappeared into the night. Jiang Zhu's study that fell in Jiang Mansion.

"Lang Jun, it has been checked, and the residue does contain Yan Husuo."

Jiang Zhu waved his hand, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.

Song Lier has always slept until she woke up naturally, got up and stretched, and twisted her body. Outside the fruit came in.

"Lady, there is a letter from the Li Mansion saying that most of the white flower pills and pulsatilla flowers that the lady went to plant a few days ago are dead, so let you go over and take a look to see what is wrong."

Mei Lan served Song Li'er to wash and dress up: "Didn't you let Ah Hu take care of it for a few days?" ”

"Ah Hu said that he didn't know what the situation was, and he didn't see that there was any problem before." Xiguo had already asked Ah Hu before coming to report.

"Okay, wait for me to have breakfast, and we'll go over." Song Li'er estimated that Jiang Zhu and their side should also go to the Li Mansion today. It's just that their suspicion of Mrs. Li, Song Lier still hopes that it is wrong.

"Lady, how about wearing this blue feather gauze skirt today, with a jade fan?" Mei Lan likes to dress up her lady beautifully, but on weekdays, Song Lier will choose light and convenient most of the time.

"Okay." Song Li'er glanced at it, but she didn't pay attention to it, and Mei Lan was teasing herself at will.

After packing up and eating breakfast, Song Lier took Xiguo and Ah Hu to Li's mansion.

Today, Xie's Su embroidered Yuehua brocade shirt with Lan Chuan green pleated skirt, and the golden begonia beads swayed, which reminded Song Lier of the appearance of seeing Xie for the first time.

"Li'er, if you dress up like this more often, you will definitely be able to find a good husband in the future." Xie Shi seemed to be in a good mood, and pulled Song Li'er to the back room: "Sit down first, let Ah Hu take a look at those flowers and grasses." ”

Xie Shi was in a good mood, and Song Lier couldn't interrupt: "Madam, it seems that you are in a good mood today, did you encounter any happy events?" ”

"There are no happy events, but I just understand some things." What fruits and nuts did Xie instruct people to come: "Is breakfast available?" ”

"Ate a bowl of porridge."

Although the Li Mansion is getting better and better, Song Li'er saw that Xie Shi's face was getting worse and worse every time, and the outfit on his body was getting more and more elegant again and again, and she was no longer angry in the past. Now it seems that something has really been put down, it's just...... Hey, I hope it's a misunderstanding.

"Li'er, what do you think of me?" Xie asked.

"He treats people very well, has a good temperament, is capable, and looks beautiful." Song Li'er didn't know what Xie meant, so she said with her own feelings.

"That's just an indication." Xie Shi looked outside, turned his head to look at Song Li'er again, and took her hand: "How about walking with me?" ”

Song Li'er nodded.

"Li'er, in life, remember not to take any wrong path, otherwise you will make a wrong step and there will be no turning back." Xie patted Song Li'er's hand earnestly.

"I don't think that if people make mistakes and correct them in time and admit their mistakes, there is still a chance." Such a depressing topic is obviously not suitable for Song Lier. The mood is also unconsciously affected.

"That's just as well." Xie Shi smiled and talked about the past: "When I married Ah Lang, I married someone else. But Ah Lang didn't care, and gave me a new identity. Let me follow him well, don't dislike him for not giving me a good life. Unfortunately, I was used to a life of affluence in my previous home. It's okay to accept it at first, but I can't stand it after a long time. Ah Lang spoiled me and was willing to let go of some principles for me. I am full of joy, relying on my own ability, to make Ah Lang and my life better and better. Even so, I'm not content and want more. Do you think I'm still a good person? ”

Song Li'er didn't expect such a thing, and the Xie family would talk about it with one of her juniors. At this time, Song Lier didn't know how to persuade her.

Song Song Dingfeng and Li Shi have always taught her that people must know how to be content, and their family has always been safe and sound, which can be regarded as wealthy, and Song Lier has never worried about anything. There is no such thing as self-motivation.

"There is no need to comfort me. I now understand that money is something outside the body, which is not brought with you in life or taken away in death. Don't worry too much. Before, I was too concerned about those false names, so I did some wrong things. Xie didn't care, Song Li'er didn't speak.

"Okay, you go and help me see how the white pill flowers and pulsatilla flowers in the yard are."

Song Li'er made amends, and only when Xie Shi was far away did she breathe a sigh of relief. She is still a lot worse when talking to her elders. I have to go to my aunt's place to learn another day, and when I encounter this situation again, I am not afraid that I will not be able to say a word of comfort.

Walking to the west courtyard, Song Lier suddenly reacted that the Lan Slow green pleated skirt that Xie was wearing today was what she wore when she was a bride. At that time, Xie took the shyness of a bride, smiled and relied on Li Shilang's side.

Song Li'er mentioned it in her heart, so she lifted her skirt and ran to Rongjingyuan, where the Xie family lived. By then, the scene was already chaotic, and the cry of a servant was heard inside, and a man hurried in.

When Jiang Zhu, who had sorted out everything, and rushed to the Li Mansion with people, he saw Song Li'er sitting on the doorrail with tears on her face, very helpless.
