Chapter 146: Murder Charges (Second Shift to Repay Debts)
Murderer?
Yu Xia suddenly remembered a person, and saw a few people coming out of it, but it was a few people who looked like they were talking to a few judges.
"Since it is a case inside the Xuanmen, we will not interfere, the body has been sent back, as for how to convict the murderer, it is all up to Daoyuantang to deal with it."
Chen Dao nodded with them, and these few catchers walked out quickly, and when they passed Yu Xia, they didn't look at it, they just nodded with the document, and then simply left.
"You said she was the one who killed my grandson?"
An old voice full of anger sounded, Yu Xia turned his head, and saw that Old Lady Xu asked the person who identified Yu Xia first with red eyes.
The man was wearing a short brown brown and a cloth scarf on his head, but he was the appearance of the second child of the Dengyunlou shop.
"Why do you say she's the murderer?"
When Mo Daochang saw Yu Xia who was surrounded, his eyes swept to the shopkeeper, and asked in a deep voice.
The shopkeeper was questioned by two big people, and there was a ghost in his heart, so he trembled immediately and told the previous story and the plate.
It turned out that Xu Hao was resentful of Yu Xia for making him lose face five times before, and after he came back yesterday, he bought off the shopkeeper and let him drug Yu Xia's food.
"Xu Gongzi gave me a packet of medicinal powder, saying that it was a sweat medicine that could make people fall asleep, so that they would miss the third game. He said that he was just not happy to see Miss Yu in the limelight, and sincerely wanted to rectify her. ”
"So you drugged her?"
A cold voice came, and everyone followed the voice, but it was South African Creek who came.
"For the sake of selfish desires, you will harm others, such a shopkeeper, can you afford to climb the cloud building?"
When the shopkeeper heard her say this, he immediately shouted that he was wronged.
"I didn't agree at first, I have no grievances with Miss Yu, why bother to do such a thing. But Xu Gongzi said that his grandfather was a close friend of Mo Daochang, and if I didn't do what he said, he would ask people to find a wrong place for me and drive me out, so that I lost this errand. ”
The shopkeeper wiped his tears as he spoke, "I have the old and the young, and being the shopkeeper in Dengyunlou here is already a good errand in Huailing County, if I am kicked out from here, no shop will want me anymore." ”
After saying this, the shopkeeper said eagerly, "Besides, it's just a sweat pill that makes people sleepy, and it won't harm people's lives, so I agreed to him with a clear conscience!" ”
Not long after Yu Xia went out in the morning, the disciples of the Tianxing Sect who were guarding the life lamp suddenly reported to Mo Dao Chang that Xu Hao's life lamp had gone out, and it didn't take long for the Huailing County catcher to come to the door with Xu Hao's body.
Xu Hao's death is strange, and he is the grandson of the inquisitor Mrs. Xu, and this matter is very important.
Then, it was to check who Xu Hao had been in contact with recently, and the second child of the store was involved.
In order to get rid of the crime, the shopkeeper pointed the finger at Yu Xia.
"In the morning, I put the medicine he gave me into Miss Yu's meal according to Xu Gongzi's instructions, and when I brought it to her, I found that she was gone!"
"In the past few days, most of the Xuanshi's three meals have been used in Dengyun Tower, not to mention that there is a fight today, but Miss Yu went out for no reason, and then Xu Gongzi died, isn't this suspicious?"
Yu Xia looked at the shopkeeper indifferently, listened to his accusations against himself, and suddenly asked him:
"So you drugged the food you served me in the morning? Where is the food now? ”
The shopkeeper looked at her cold gaze, subconsciously shuddered, shrunk his neck and said:
"When I saw that you weren't there, I took the things back to the back kitchen, and I was afraid that people would eat them by mistake, so I hid them in the cupboard."
Over there, Chen Dao glanced at Mo Daochang when he heard this, and Mo Daochang gave the Dengyun Lou disciples who had been waiting on the side again, and someone went to the back kitchen to search for things.
After a few moments, a disciple came up with a plate of porridge and side dishes that had already been cold.
"Elder Mo, there is arsenic in this porridge."
Arsenic?
When everyone present heard this, their faces immediately changed.
Didn't you say sweat pills that make people unconscious? How did it become a highly toxic arsenic that kills people?
The shopkeeper was also stunned, and then said in disbelief:
"How can it be arsenic, what Xu Gongzi told me is obviously sweat medicine! Are you mistaken? ”
The disciple ignored the shopkeeper, but took out a silver needle and inserted it into the porridge, and it didn't take long for everyone to see that a wisp of black began to spread upwards where the tip of the needle had touched the clear porridge.
This is a manifestation of virulence.
For a moment, there was some silence in the field.
Some people quietly took the afterglow to see Mrs. Xu.
Yes, your grandson died violently, and the white-haired man sent the black-haired man, which is quite miserable and unbearable.
But your grandson's behavior is indeed damned.
Just for Miss Yu's repeated limelight and slapping you in the face, I bought the shopkeeper to poison people and wanted to kill people, this thought is really vicious!
Not to mention this person, he causes trouble all day long, and he is really unpopular for molesting a woman from a good family.
Old Lady Xu's face was gloomy, "No matter what medicine he gave, he didn't hurt anyone's life, but he died in vain, and this matter must be thoroughly investigated!" ”
"The murderer must be her! It's that she learned out of nowhere that Xu Gongzi wanted to kill her, avoided the drugged meal, and then deliberately retaliated! ”
The shopkeeper knew that he had committed this and probably couldn't stay in Dengyunlou, so he could only hope for the Xu family at this time, if the Xu family was satisfied with him because of finding the murderer, maybe he could find another way out for him.
Thinking so in his heart, the shopkeeper bit Yu Xia to death and didn't let go.
Yu Xia shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know that Xu Hao wants to harm me, even if I know that I can avoid it, why should I hurt him?" ”
"Then why didn't you have a surprised expression at all when you heard that Xu Hao was dead?"
Old Lady Xu suddenly spoke, and her eyes shot towards her like sharp arrows, with boundless coolness.
Yes, listening to what Mrs. Xu said, everyone also reacted, from the beginning to the present, this Miss Yu's performance is too calm.
It's unusually calm.
"If I said that I would have known that Xu Hao would die in the next few days, would you believe it?"
Yu Xia was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at the five inquisitors.
"Because I knew he was going to die, I wasn't surprised to hear about his death."
Old Lady Xu sneered, "Do you really think you are the second Duke of Yang?" None of our inquisitors saw the death of my grandson, how did you see that? I think you are the most suspicious in this matter, don't quibble! ”
"Old man Xu," Dao Chang Mo suddenly spoke, "I know that you are very sad for the news of your grandson's violent death, and your emotions are a little unstable, which is inevitable. ”
Mo Daochang paused, glanced at Old Lady Xu, and continued:
"But we can't just put the blame on the innocent because of this, wouldn't this let the real culprit go unpunished? Didn't your beloved grandson die in vain? ”
"What Mo Daochang said is right, you have to give the little girl a chance to defend herself."
It was Fairy Liuchen who spoke, and Fairy Liuchen looked at Yu Xia and asked with some curiosity on her face:
"Did you really see that Xu Hao was going to die before? How is it seen? ”
Yu Xia's expression was calm, and a pair of clear eyes looked at the Liuchen Fairy.
"I saw death in his face."
