Chapter 39: A Night Appointment at a Tavern
Another thing that puzzled Bai Tang was that after systematic fluoroscopy scanning, Liu San's blood in his body was in a state of coagulation, and this state also caused some traces in his body to remain.
Like footprints left on the snow, there are occasionally small curved marks on his internal organs, like a thread that winds and drags over it, extending to his tongue.
Liu San's throat looked like blood overflowing, but it wasn't.
When a person dies and his blood is coagulated, it is impossible for his blood to surge and be full.
If it is not right to say that it is a phenomenon before death, the Liu family will definitely ask someone to take care of him and clean him before he is put into the coffin.
Moreover, when the Liu family was involved in the Qian family, an autopsy was done on the Yamen's side, and the report was also taken by Wei Jiuli.
So why is there blood in Liu San's mouth? This is also an important doubt.
Bai Tang locked up in the morgue and thought about it for a long time, and finally listed all the suspicious points one by one, and then found Wei Jiuli, handed him the record, and suggested, "I suspect that the tomb of the deceased has been opened. ”
Wei Jiuli stared at the record in his hand and said, "I'll send someone to check it immediately." ”
"Hmm." Bai Tang nodded.
Wei Jiuli raised his eyes to look at him, then frowned slightly, put down the paper in his hand, and said, "It's late at night, you go and rest first." ”
The first time he saw the other man, a look of exhaustion appeared on his face.
There were too many things to think about, and he didn't feel sleepy, Bai Tang just shook his head and asked, "Do you have any clue about those people tonight?" ”
"I have sent someone to check the file, starting with the pattern of the Buddha of Joy, there is no movement on the side of Junqing Pavilion yet, but this time it alarmed them, it is estimated that the other party will be more careful, since the snake failed to lead the snake out of the hole......"
Wei Jiuli knocked on the table with his fingers, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his eyes were cold and sharp, "Then let's start first, maybe it's just a little ghost, but it's always a breakthrough." ”
Bai Tang was noncommittal, and she would not interfere too much in the external investigation of the case, "But these people are good at using poison, and their methods are weird, so you should be more careful." ”
After thinking about it, she suddenly raised her hand to untie the jade pendant around her neck and handed it to him, "This pendant will be borrowed from you first, if it is close to the poison, it will heat up." ”
This pendant was given to her by the master, but she had a systematic warning, and the pendant did not play a big role in her.
Wei Jiuli was stunned, and her eyes fell on the pendant in her hand.
The pendant of the white jade is almost the same color as her white and slender fingers, and the so-called ice muscle jade bone is nothing more than that.
The mind wandered for only ten seconds, and the chaotic thoughts in his mind were entangled, but the movements of his hands were very neat.
He was not polite at all, he took the pendant, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes seemed to be burning two clusters of flames under the candlelight, and his deep eyes were a little meaningful, "I accepted it." ”
Bai Tang was also stunned when he looked at him like this.
Wei Jiuli in front of her suddenly gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity for some reason, as if she had seen the other party's demeanor many times.
But when she looked at it carefully, the other party had already restrained her emotions, raised her hand and put the pendant directly on her neck, hid it in the collar, and then got up, "It's not early, you have to bother to develop an antidote tomorrow, it's better to rest and recover your energy early, I'll send you back." ”
This time, Bai Tang did not refuse.
When the two of them left the Inspector's Mansion, they didn't use a carriage, but walked slowly on the street.
There was no curfew policy in the Wei Kingdom, and the night in the imperial city was always more lively and prosperous than in other places.
Although it was late at night, there were occasional pedestrians on the roadside, and some of the shops on the street had not yet closed, except for the Song Pavilion and the Green Building.
"Are you hungry, do you want to eat something and go back?" Passing by a restaurant, Wei Jiuli suddenly broke the silence.
Bai Tang was still thinking about those doubts, and subconsciously said 'um' when he heard the words, and when he came back to his senses, he had been pulled into the restaurant by the other party's wrist.
"Welcome, are the two guest officers playing the tip or staying in the hotel?" The guy was clever enough to catch up.
This restaurant is one of the largest restaurants in the imperial city, and it is still lively in the middle of the night, there will be storytelling and singing songs, and many guests are quietly sipping refreshments and listening to singing.
"Lingfeng Pavilion." Wei Jiuli said to the guy.
The guy was stunned for a moment, then looked at Wei Jiuli again, and was suddenly startled, and subconsciously wanted to shout, "Jiu ......"
Wei Jiuli immediately waved his hand, and the other party was instantly silenced, and then smiled even more, and enthusiastically led them upstairs.
Wei Jiuli is a frequent visitor to this place, and there is still a standing exclusive box.
The lights outside were too dim just now, and the guy didn't see it clearly for a while, but he would see it clearly, so he naturally tried his best to entertain him, and he controlled his eyes very well, not to fall on Bai Tang, although he was already curious and scratched his liver.
The Nine Emperors have never been close to women, but recently they have been full of scandals and are always tied to a woman.
Now in the middle of the night, I brought a woman to the restaurant, which makes people think about it.
He couldn't help but guess whether this woman would be the legendary Bai Tang, but unfortunately the other party was wearing a curtain scarf and couldn't see the whole picture.
However, looking at the woman's temperament, it should not be bad.
The guy is still very professional, and he quits lightly after ordering tea and food.
"You're a regular?" Bai Tang looked sideways.
They are on the third floor, the main table is by the window, and looking down from the window, you can see the stage facing the second floor, which will make the erhu sound faintly, and the storyteller will tell the story catchily while playing the board.
Bai Tang doesn't know much about these entertainment matters, and his interest is not high, but Wei Yuan likes it very much.
When I was in Rongshan before, because the girl made a fuss a few times, and it was also to relieve the boredom of the Queen Mother, I also arranged a few storytelling and singing songs, and that team may still stay in the Rongshan Palace.
However, looking at Wei Jiuli's self-disciplined appearance, he didn't look like he would be idle drinking tea and listening to books.
"There are a lot of people, but sometimes it's still very useful." Wei Jiuli heard what she meant, and said with a smile while pouring tea for her.
Bai Tang immediately understood.
There are a lot of people, and it is this kind of person who can gather from all kinds of sources unconsciously, and it is most convenient to want to hear something.
"And the refreshments here are also good, the owner of the restaurant is from Nanzhou, the land of water towns, rich food and people, leisurely life, more like to drink tea and listen to music and tell stories, it has also become a feature." Wei Jiuli said again.
Bai Tang suddenly raised his eyebrows slightly, and his eyes fell on the snacks on the table, which were just pre-tea food for entertaining guests, small dishes of halva peanuts, preserved fruits and melon seeds.
Bai Tang has a small hobby, but she usually impresses people too much on the surface, so that no one notices her little hobby, even if it is someone who has a deep contact with her.
She loves to eat.
Maybe it was because the programmers were lazy when they made the game, and the setting for the medical sect was that they could not eat whole grains, mundane things, and could only eat rootless spring water and pills.
Bai Tang had seen a few players roasting food in the wild, and brought several food points with them, but unfortunately because of the program's settings, she couldn't get involved.
So unconsciously, her appetite was also imprinted in her consciousness.
Maybe it's self-conscious, but it also has something to do with her obsession with food, and she wants to be like those people and try the food that makes them taste and appreciate.
It's just that her self-control and self-discipline are relatively high, and she is not a picky eater, and she will not show it on the surface, so no one notices.
