Chapter 221: New Clues
It's just that she is stupid and can't speak, so she said something that made Wei Qingqing misunderstand.
After Gu Yu honestly told Wei Qingqing the truth, he grabbed Wei Qingqing's wrist with a sad face and asked, "Lianxin really didn't commit suicide?" ”
After Wei Qingqing gave an affirmative answer, Gu Yu sat on the ground with a dejected face, hiding her face and crying bitterly, "I killed her!" If it weren't for my efforts to force Lianxin to save my sister, Lianxin would not have taken the risk of helping the nobleman do things in exchange for my sister's immortality! ”
She said with grief and thumping her chest heavily, "I killed Lianxin!" Damn it's me! ”
Wei Qingqing keenly grasped the key words in Gu Yu's words, and asked, "Help the nobles do things?" Who does Lotus Heart help do? ”
Gu Yu sobbed and replied: "I don't know what I did specifically, I only know that the other party is the master who has the ability to save my sister!" ”
It turned out that after Gu Yu scolded Lianxin that day, he snorted angrily and cut off contact with Lianxin, and Lianxin came to look for her several times, but she avoided it.
Lianxin couldn't, so in the end she could only ask someone to send a letter to Gu Yu.
Gu Yu told Wei Qingqing the contents of the letter, "She reassured me in the letter, saying that she had a way to save my sister, and said that as long as she helped a master do one thing, she could ask for a favor for my sister!" ”
"After reading the letter, I plan to go to her as soon as I have time the next day, and ask her what is going on, who would have thought that before I could go to her, the news of her suicide will come first!"
The more Gu Yu spoke, the more he felt self-blame, "If I hadn't forced Lianxin to find a way to save my sister, Lianxin wouldn't have taken risks and sought skin with the tiger!" After all, I killed Lotus Heart! ”
Wei Qingqing stepped forward and patted Gu Yu's shoulder, and comforted: "Lianxin is already dead, no matter how much you blame yourself now, she won't survive!" What you can do now is to find a way to help me find the murderer, so that Lianxin will not die in vain! ”
Hearing this, Gu Yu wiped away the tears on his face violently, and said with a resolute face: "What can I do to help Lianxin?" ”
Wei Qingqing didn't answer, but asked Gu Yu a question first, "Have you ever been in contact with Li Zhaoyi's cousin Zhu Shanshan?" Do you have a good relationship with her? ”
Gu Yu shook his head and said, "I have only met her once, and I don't know each other, let alone have a relationship. That day, I was so anxious that I cried in the small bamboo forest because of my sister's affairs, and Zhu Shanshan happened to pass by the small bamboo forest, so she asked me a few words with concern, and I was in a hurry to go to the doctor and told her all about what my sister had committed and Lianxin's refusal to save my sister. ”
Wei Qingqing fell into contemplation when she heard this, and boldly deduced what happened in her heart - Zhu Shanshan learned from Gu Yu that Lianxin also wanted to save Lixia, so she took the initiative to use the bait to save Lixia to contact Lianxin, and then suffocated her while Lianxin was unprepared!
If things are really as Wei Qingqing deduced, then the noble person who can help her in Lianxin's mouth is likely to be Zhu Shanshan or Li Zhaoyi behind Zhu Shanshan!
But even if the suspect can be circled, Wei Qingqing does not have enough evidence to find her out!
Wei Qingqing thought about it, and her thoughts finally turned to the last doubt, that is, the irregular redness and swelling of Lianxin's left hand.
Wei Qingqing walked to Lianxin's corpse while thinking, took out the fire Qi and put it on her left hand, looked at the redness and swelling again without taking her eyes off it, and subconsciously said the doubts in her heart, "Why did the murderer poison Lianxin in this move?" ”
"Could it be that the murderer poisoned first, and then chose to suffocate when the poisoning failed? If this is the case, then the murderer is stupid enough, and he can't even control the amount of poison when killing someone! Wei Qingqing gave an assumption to herself, but quickly overturned herself, "No, the murderer is thoughtful and will never choose to poison him!" ”
Wei Qingqing had carefully studied the murderer's modus operandi and deduced that the other party was not a person who couldn't even control the amount of poison!
Looking closely at the murderer's modus operandi, whether it was suffocation or fake suicide by jumping off a building, both ways of death made Lianxin leave almost no traces on her body after her death!
Needless to say, the deceased who jumped off the building passively and actively jumped off the building, the appearance of the body after death is almost identical, and it is difficult to use the autopsy to find out the real cause.
There is no trace of suffocation - Wei Qingqing's mind quickly comes to mind the knowledge learned in his previous life: suffocation is usually assisted by pillows, bedding, plastic bags or the murderer's hands.
When the tool is a pillow or a plastic bag, there are usually no marks left on the victim's body.
Since the murderer used such a meticulous way of killing, how could he not even control the amount of poison under the poison?
"Why did the murderer take such a step forward and deliberately poison Lianxin? Is it trying to cover up something? Wei Qingqing kept muttering to herself, repeating this incomprehensible doubt.
At this time, Gu Yu, who had followed Wei Qingqing's example and came to the left hand side of Lianxin, suddenly asked, "Can't you understand why Lianxin's hand is red and swollen?" ”
"Well, I still don't understand that!" Wei Qingqing glanced at Gu Yu absentmindedly as she spoke, and asked casually, "Do you know?" ”
"I really know!" Gu Yu replied loudly, pointing to the red and swollen place on Lianxin's left hand and said: "Lianxin suffers from an old rheumatic disease, and she will have an attack as soon as she changes, and when she has an attack, she will find a lot of nettles, either externally applied or boiled internally......"
"I remember!" Before Gu Yu finished speaking, Wei Qingqing interrupted excitedly and gave her the answer: "It's nettle!" It was the nettle that caused the redness and swelling of the lotus heart's left hand! I finally remember what I was missing! ”
"Let's go, let's go to Lianxin's residence!" After Wei Qingqing finished speaking, he took the lead to leave the morgue, and after a while, he came to Lianxin's residence and went straight to the warm kang, and sure enough, he found a basket of nettles in the baskets against the wall on the warm kang!
Wei Qingqing saw the basket of nettles when she inspected Lianxin's house last time, and she was bent on finding the murder weapon pillow, so although she saw it, she didn't care too much, and she didn't associate it with Lianxin's red and swollen fingers!
It wasn't until today, when Gu Yu's words woke her up, that she suddenly remembered the point she ignored that day!
Nettle, also known as "scorpion grass" or "biting grass", is a traditional Chinese medicine that can be found everywhere in the mountains and jungles.
Nettle herb can be used as medicine, its taste is bitter, pungent, warm, and slightly poisonous. It can treat rheumatoid arthritis, postpartum convulsions, pediatric convulsions, etc.
Although nettle can be used as medicine, if a person accidentally touches an untreated nettle, it will cause redness, swelling and itching.
Wei Qingqing looked at the basket of nettles excitedly, and several places that she had been unable to figure out before were instantly figured out, "I know how to find the murderer!" ”
"Huh? Got it? Ming Ye's tone was slightly disappointed, he knew that Wei Qingqing was extremely smart and good at investigating and solving cases, but he didn't expect her to be so smart, he didn't even have to help her find the murderer!
