Jing Zhaoyin was answered by an official who led the way at the door of the prison, and took them to the cell where Zhang Cheng was held, I don't know if it was because Miao Zhifeng was careful or because the official who came today behaved strangely, she always felt that the guide had been observing her expression and movements all the way, for fear of being seen something.

Miao Zhifeng was the first to ask: "Has anyone touched the scene?" ”

The guards of the cell were all there, and everyone replied unanimously: "According to your orders, no one moves." ”

Zhifeng's gaze swept over each of them, then nodded, and when she passed in front of the official who led the way, she deliberately glanced at him more, and looked around, the prison meal on the ground was the most eye-catching, and she asked this person: "Does anyone explain what this bowl of rice on the ground means?" ”

Zhang Cheng's corpse died violently, Qiqi bled to death, his nails were blue, his facial skin was purple, his face was hideous, and he was lying straight on the ground, next to him was a bowl of broken and severed rice.

Although everyone had seen the dead man, the deceased looked a little terrible, and the people who watched it were hiding their faces and deliberately avoiding their eyes, or secretly trembling.

The leading officer said: "The prisoner Zhang Cheng should have died of poisoning, and he ordered him to inspect his food, but he can know what kind of poison it is." ”

"You're still up to you?" Miao Zhifeng's eyes were a little aggressive, "Zhang Cheng's death was discovered this morning, I want to ask you, who delivered the meal last night?" ”

Several guards looked at it, and one of the people in the middle of the station came out and admitted, "The meal was delivered by the villain." However, the rice has never left my hand, so it is impossible to be poisoned. ”

"Then depending on the situation, isn't it poisoning in the rice?"

"The villain suspects that there is something else, and I hope that the adult will ask him to do an autopsy and then interrogate."

"Hmm." Miao Zhifeng thought about it, as if he had thought of something, and asked, "Last night, did anyone come to see him?" ”

The officials replied quickly this time: "Alas, he is a person who does not recognize his six relatives, and his family does not recognize him, so how can anyone come to see him." However, there was a strange thing last night......"

"Say."

"When I was changing the guard, the torch was suddenly extinguished, and when I lit it, there was no movement around, Zhang Cheng didn't say a word as if he was asleep, and he didn't hear any sound of smashing bowls."

"Then it's strange, why did a good bowl break by itself?" Miao Zhifeng glanced at the person who was leading the way just now out of the corner of his eyes, stretched out his hand to him, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"The villain Wu Youcai."

"Were you there when you were on duty last night?"

Wu Youcai said: "Yes." Later, when it was time for the changing of the guard, I handed over the key to Lao Jiu and went home to sleep. ”

The more he asked, the closer he got to the center, Miao Zhifeng asked, and his eyes became more and more keen: "Who found out that Zhang Cheng was dead this morning?" And how do you know? Give me 1510, word for word. ”

Wu Youcai replied again: "The villain was the first to come, Lao Jiu fell asleep on the table, I went to each cell to count the prisoners according to the usual inspection, and when I arrived at Zhang Cheng's cell, he didn't wake up no matter how I knocked on the fence, so I opened the door and went in." When I went in and saw that his back was on me, I stretched out my hand to break him, and when I saw that his face was covered with blood and that he was terrible dead, and he looked at me with wide eyes, I fell and fell because I tripped over the bowl of rice and hay on the ground, and I broke the bowl. I was so scared that I hurriedly went out to wake up Lao Jiu. At this time, the people of your Dali Temple came. You all know what happened next. ”

It's true, but Miao Zhifeng still thinks that Wu Youcai is hiding something, but it's not appropriate to ask too much now, so she said: "Okay, I'll ask this first, and after the autopsy, I will submit a report, and I will ask you again if necessary, and you can't go out of the city if you have nothing to do." ”

"Yes." Fortunately, Miao Zhifeng did not catch them and did not let them go, and the officials were relieved.

The results of the autopsy came out, the cause of Zhang Cheng's death was poisoning, the five-step snake venom of the blood toxin, the poisoning method, a thin silver needle quenched poison, entered the body from the neck, the entrance was very small, if it were not for the twelve hours after the formation of the corpse, there were slight bleeding spots on the surface, and the body might not have been found.

Miao Zhifeng looked at the books on the table, rummaging through the mess, and was very puzzled. The abnormal movement mentioned by the jailer must be related to the killing of the silver needle, but none of them saw anyone enter or leave the cell, and the silver needle was poisoned, which required close accuracy, or the needle was used by someone with strong martial arts, and it was only within three zhang to ensure that the silver needle pierced the body.

This person is going to interrupt her investigation from the first step. And who has such martial arts and means? She just couldn't figure it out.

Qingli came in from outside the door, holding a small basket of sour green plums, and said to Zhifeng: "Princess, this is the plum that Lausanne knocked down from the tree, and it is still very fresh." In the past two days, you have lost your appetite, so you should eat some fruit and adjust your appetite. ”

"I don't have time, you can eat by yourself." He didn't raise his head to speak, holding a needle in his hand, and he didn't come up with a clue after looking at it for a long time.

"Huh?" Qingli took the green plum and stuffed it into his mouth, ate it like a rabbit, and looked closer, only to take a look at it and wondered: "Princess, where did you get this thin needle, why is it exactly the same as the one last time?" ”

Qingli said this, she must have seen it, Miao Zhifeng immediately raised her head and asked the round-faced little girl: "What is the same?" Last time, you said? Which last time? ”

"Ah......" Qing Fence covered his mouth with both hands, realizing that he seemed to have said that he had leaked his mouth, and this silver needle was indeed exactly the same as the one taken out by the princess last time when she was poisoned.

"Ahh Qingli didn't say anything halfway through, she didn't spare the wind, she crossed her hands on her hips, stared at Qingli with sinister eyes, and forced the little girl: "You say listen to me, otherwise I will send you back to the Western Jin Dynasty to serve my brother, and let him nag in your ear all day long about my affairs, until you become a little old lady." ”

Miao Zhifeng's trick is a bit ruthless, Qing Li has been serving her since she was a child, and she has always stayed by her side, and Qing Li swore to take care of her for the rest of her life, and she was never willing to leave.

After listening to her princess's 'evil words', Qing Liang compromised with a resentful face, and had no choice but to tell the truth about the silver needle: "Princess, in fact, it is not by chance that you suddenly fainted on your wedding day, but because someone poisoned you with silver, and the silver needle was found in your neck, which is exactly the same as the one you are looking at now." ”

There are many people with mixed eyes, and they are poisoned in the air, and this person is not small.

Therefore, Zhifeng came to a conclusion: "So the murderer is the same person." ”

While thinking about the case, another question popped up in her mind: "Qinglei, you said that I was poisoned at the time, so when I woke up the next day, why didn't you tell me when I asked you?" ”

"The prince won't let me tell you, I'm afraid you will think too much." Qingli also concealed the kindness of the prince, and felt aggrieved and said: "The prince also forced the imperial doctor to implement the set of blood exchange methods proposed to save the princess, and after detoxifying you, he also took care of you with injuries for a night, but he didn't let me mention anything to you, you think I took care of you all night, but in fact no, I took care of you both all night!" ”

Xiao Baozi said and spoke, as if she felt a little sorry for herself, she touched her face playfully, and said with a smile: "Silly hedge." Oh yes, where did you put the needle? Take it out and I'll take a look. ”

Miao Zhifeng secretly said in her heart, it turned out that the fox had done so many things behind her back, if Qinghedge didn't say it, she still didn't know.

The princess asked, "Do you remember what kind of poison the murderer gave me at that time?" ”

Qing Liang thought for a while and replied, "The imperial doctor seems to be talking about the venom of the golden snake." ”

The two needles were compared, and they were the same, the only difference was that the poison was different, but they were all snake venom, the dose of poison given to her was small, the toxin was light, and the dose given to Zhang Cheng was large, and the toxin was heavy. There is a lack of details about how the poisoner was poisoned.

The person in front of the table sat dumbfounded, thinking for a long time, and suddenly had a plan.

As the sun set and the west mountains were getting dusk, she stared at the window, and the ends of her hair were blown by the cool breeze, serious and quiet.

At night, the wind stopped and ordered Qingli to prepare a set of white bedclothes and red cinnabar, take the palace guards, and go out of the house.
