Chapter 164: Two Flowers
If it weren't for the fact that there were too many troubles in her heart, Youna wouldn't have quarreled with Mu Yunxi yesterday, she was originally a quiet girl, but under the influence of her ears and eyes, she learned Lan Lingxiang's standard arrogant words and deeds, and she was angry because of a big fart, which was really undeserved.
The sense of shame caused her to panic, and she was very worried that Mu Yunxi would take the opportunity to seize the matter and accuse her of interfering with and disrupting the order of the case.
Ling Wenxuan thought that although Mu Yunxi was very vindictive, he would not bother with her, but focused on the test of them, as long as they passed the test, they could regain their freedom. As for what this test is, do not rush to find out, lest you fall into the hands of the other person, and their three meals a day and the same schedule as usual, so as not to arouse the suspicion of others.
As a result, Xian Cheng, who had eaten the oven cake for two days in a row, finally got tired, he broke the cake in half and threw it on the table, and spat on the ground: "The breakfast of the common people is simply unreasonable, let me eat this thing every day, maybe one day I will get a stomach problem." ”
"Hey, if you don't eat it, give it to me, don't throw it away!" Ling Wenxuan took Xian Cheng's oven cake to his plate, and smiled sideways at Lan Lingxiang, whose mouth was round, "Wasting food is disrespectful to the gods, you learn from our Miss Lan, she has a strong appetite in recent days, and her complexion has improved a lot." ”
"Sister Lan, Father Priest is right, I feel that your state today is indeed different from the past, at least you have no symptoms of sudden fainting. Yu Na's eyes widened and she turned to Lan Lingxiang.
"Really, that's great, maybe my illness was cured by Ling Wenxuan. Lan Lingxiang hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth.
"I advise you not to be too optimistic, last night I only temporarily suppressed the power of the bright stars in your body with the Death Spell, but this is by no means a foolproof solution, one day this spell will lose its effectiveness, I am afraid that it will be ...... then" Ling Wenxuan put aside the furnace cake in his hand and lowered his head and said in a deep voice.
"I don't blame you, life and death are fateful, and you've done your best. Lan Lingxiang looked at the scar on the back of Ling Wenxuan's hand when he boiled the medicine, and was stunned for a moment, "It doesn't matter if the injury on your hand matters, do you need me to help you apply some ointment?"
"A little injury doesn't get in the way, it'll be fine soon. Ling Wenxuan covered the wound with his sleeve and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Miss Lan to care about people, it seems that Father Ben has not suffered in vain." ”
"Father, what is the Death Spell?"
"Cousin, I think this man is so incompetent that he doesn't deserve your care at all, he owes you a debt and can't save your life. Xian Cheng was jealous, directly ignored Youna's questioning, and glanced at Lan Lingxiang with slanted eyes.
"Xian Cheng, shut up for me!" Lan Lingxiang slapped the table hard, stood up, and grabbed Xian Cheng's collar.
Seeing the tension between the two, Youna hurriedly stepped forward to pull Lan Lingxiang away, shouting for Ling Wenxuan to help together, but the other party didn't even look at Xian Cheng, and the focus of his eyes was on the group of people who came slowly from outside the courtyard.
The leader is Ban Renji, who is now the prime minister of the Garo Kingdom, on the right is the owner of this mansion, General Gomer, and on the left is a stranger who looks like a sheriff, Mu Yunxi, Liu Yuhan, and Jiang Jianfei walked out from behind the three and surrounded the rest in the middle of the courtyard.
"I invite you to gather at the General's Mansion today, not to see you quarrel, I have something important to announce. Mu Yunxi turned his back and took two steps forward and said solemnly, "At the victory celebration held on May 1 in the country of Jialuo, there was a murder that caused a sensation in the world, the first king died in Jin Jiao who led to the central square of the city, the murderer's modus operandi was very clever, there was no evidence left at the scene, and the only clue that may be related to the murderer is the white mask on the head of the first king." ”
"This is Xue Mufeng, the sheriff of Panhu City, and I have informed him of the general details of the case. Mu Yunxi's palm met the stranger beside him, and then he made a look with Liu Yuhan, "I'll talk about the meaning of this mask later, and now I'm going to use an experiment to prove the murderer's modus operandi." ”
First, Liu Yuhan placed a rectangular wooden box on the tabletop, secondly, she took out a mouse from her pocket, opened the lid of the box and put the mouse into the box and closed it, wrapped the petals of the two flowers with the cigarette paper prepared in advance and lit the cigarette paper in public, and finally, quickly aimed the direction of the cigarette butt at the small hole in the lid, so that the smoke produced could fill the entire wooden box.
"Mr. Investigator, please stop playing such childish tricks, today is the third day, if you still can't find the murderer, I will expel you from the country on the orders of the new monarch, after all, the Battle of the Mountains has just ended, in order to give an explanation to the people who are hostile to the Lobelon Empire, it is not good to force you to stay here. ”
"Alas...... Prime Minister, don't worry, wait. Mu Yunxi shook his hand, letting Ban Renjian wait for the cigarette paper in Liu Yuhan's hand to completely turn into ashes.
Five minutes later, when Liu Yuhan reopened the wooden box, the mouse was motionless and dead.
"As I expected, this is incompatible with life and death. Facing the shocked and speechless crowd, Mu Yunxi breathed a long sigh of relief and patiently explained the principle, "Everyone should know that there are two kinds of petals in the two flowers, one is the 'raw flower' and the other is the 'dead flower', and it is forbidden to ignite the two petals at the same time in the culture of the Gara country, right?" ”
"Yes, but that's what I just know, it's terrible!" General Gomer was shocked, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a wave of his sleeve.
"The cause of death was inhalation of an excessive amount of toxic gases, which led to hypoxic suffocation. Mu Yunxi closed his eyes and pondered, his fingers interlocked, "Judging from everyone's reaction just now, we are all learning about the production process of this poisonous gas for the first time, except for one person, who has already learned about this method through a book. ”
As soon as the words fell, Mu Yunxi opened his eyes and pointed to Ling Wenxuan, who was sitting on the chair with a calm face.
"Sir Mu, has your hatred for me confused you? Let go of your prejudices and accusations, and let us get along. ”
Youna on the side hurriedly defended Ling Wenxuan and said, "That's right, Lord Priest has helped us so much along the way, how can he be a bad person?"
"Are you sure he's helping you retrieve your memories and not using you to collect the Seven Artifacts for the Tianyao Sect?" Mu Yunxi came to Youna and said softly, "You told me that day, 'Only you and Gui Xun'er have ever entered Xinjun's Library Pavilion. I thought about it carefully and felt that this was not right, because Ling Wenxuan was also there at that time. ”
"Hey, don't talk nonsense, Ling Scourge was taking care of me at the time. Lan Lingxiang immediately interjected.
"But you are in a state of drowsiness, and you don't know if his actions are right?" Liu Yuhan took out the "Jialuo Baicao" from his bosom and showed everyone the missing page, "The height of the bookshelf blocks your view, and the bookshelf where this book is placed is relatively close to the front yard, so Ling Wenxuan was able to flip through the book without you noticing." ”
"Okay, I'll be patient enough to listen to you for the time being, but you can tell me how I killed the former king at the well-guarded victory celebration?" Ling Wenxuan grinned, and the meridians on his forehead were exposed.
"How's the matter I asked you to inquire about?" Mu Yunxi said and turned to Jiang Jianfei behind him.
I saw Jiang Jianfei glance at Ling Wenxuan with a complicated expression, then leaned over to Mu Yunxi and whispered a few words, and at the same time beckoned to the four guards waiting outside the door, asking them to move the golden sedan chair on the victory celebration back into the courtyard, and when the golden sedan chair landed steadily, he immediately took off the golden luan on the top of the sedan and showed it in front of everyone.
"Yesterday I went to the Gara National Prison, and I learned from the mouth of the Pythyme that the reason why you dressed up as the chief of the guard on the day of the victory celebration was to humiliate you, but I didn't expect it to fulfill your evil plot. Mu Yunxi took the golden luan in Jiang Jianfei's hand and aimed at the round hole on the top of the pet under the illumination of the light, "Since you learned about the production method of the 'Liangsheng Flower' poisonous gas, in order to seize the Crown of Courage and try every means to get close to His Majesty the Former King, you made up the lie that the Heavenly Zhaojiao wanted to steal the Crown of Courage, so that the Former King focused his vigilance on the victory celebration, not in the palace. ”
"You mean, how is it possible that the first king died when he was in the palace? Gomel touched his beard and couldn't help but curse in his heart, "I'm really stupid, part of the Praetorian Guard had already joined my king's army at that time, and I was originally preparing to overthrow King Xuanhuang's rule with foreign cooperation. ”
"The victory celebration was scheduled to begin at nine o'clock in the morning, during which forty-five minutes were given, minus thirty minutes for the procession of the procession out of the palace, and the rest of the time was left for the king to tidy up. Mu Yunxi nodded in agreement, pointed at Ling Wenxuan and continued, "He first managed to break away from the surrounding guards, and took out the powder of the two living flowers mixed with the petals of the 'Raw Flower' and the 'Dead Flower', and used it in the 'Jialuo Hundred Grasses' The page torn off the page introducing the knowledge of the two flowers was rolled into a cylinder and wrapped, and then jumped to the top of the golden sedan chair, opened the mechanism on the golden luan to ignite the petals of the two flowers, five minutes later, when the first king returned to the sedan chair, and mistook it for the smell of the incense burner, who knew that he died violently in an instant, at this time he took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, came to the golden sedan chair again, put on anti-poison equipment, seized the crown of courage worn by the first king, and then put the mask prepared in advance on the head of the first king. ”
Hearing this, Ling Wenxuan laughed disappreciatively: "Ridiculous! All this is your imagination, according to what you say, poisonous gas fills the entire Jin Jiao, how can I guarantee that the person who finds the body of the first king will not be poisoned and die first." ”
Facing Ling Wenxuan's questioning, Mu Yunxi directly picked up the wooden box containing the corpse of the mouse, leaned to the tip of his nose and took a breath of the fragrance of the two flowers, this crazy move shocked Youna and Lan Lingxiang to retreat again and again.
"I just want to ask, am I poisoned now? Are you poisoned again?" Mu Yunxi threw the wooden box on the ground. The real reason for the death of the former king is that the confined space in the golden sedan chair causes a large amount of poisonous gas to be difficult to dissipate for a while, inhaling a small amount of mixed two-life flower aroma is not fatal, because the wind in the city is relatively strong that day, when the convoy drove to the central square of the city, the poisonous gas in the sedan chair has already volatilized, so the aroma we smell is not limited to the incense burner in the hands of the maid, that is, at that time, Ling Wenxuan, who was dressed as the chief of the guard, found us, but unfortunately there was no alibi from the mouth of the palace guard. ”
"So, without any evidence, are you going to arrest me just by imagining?" Ling Wenxuan silently touched the trigger on his waist.
"I'll find the proof, for the crown of courage must be in your hands. With that, the fusion sword in Mu Yunxi's hand was quickly unsheathed, and a duel between sword and gun was about to begin.
It was too late, it was fast, at the moment when Mu Yunxi swung his sword, Youna rushed to Ling Wenxuan's side, he hurriedly collected his sword qi so as not to hurt Youna, but Ling Wenxuan didn't stop, only heard a "bang", and the bullet of the spirit guide pierced the hair on Youna's sideburns and flew directly towards Ban Renxuan.
"Ling Wenxuan, you ......" Mu Yunxi roared, and soon found that he was not the only one who was angry about this, Liu Yuhan also rushed up with a sword, but was immediately shocked to the ground by the other party's spiritual power.
"Enough of you, stop making trouble. A burst of scolding came from behind Mu Yunxi, and I saw Ban Renji casting a spell to freeze the flying bullets, causing them to fall rapidly, "Father Ling, if you are really innocent, please cooperate with our search." ”
"Whatever you want, but this person has no right to judge me!" Ling Wenxuan glanced at the frightened Youna and walked up to Xue Mufeng, "Mr. Sheriff, you must have placed a large number of police forces outside the General's Mansion, it seems that I can't escape today!"
"I'm just acting on orders, I heard that you have a grudge with the three major religions and the four major families, this time I'm afraid that it will be more than lucky!"
After speaking, Xue Mufeng snapped his fingers, and the police officers who were ambushed around rushed into the mansion and carefully searched every room, not letting go of any tiny details.
