Chapter Seventy-Two: Strange Death

"How about we leave tomorrow morning?" Chi Jingyu asked slowly, his heart full of Bai Wushuang.

Bai Wushuang was sitting on the stone bench in the small pavilion pondering, and when she heard Chi Jingyu's question, she suddenly pulled out and replied with a slight smile: "It's good at any time, for me, it's actually no different." ”

Chi Jingyu could see that she was in a somewhat sad mood, and stepped forward to ask comfortingly, "Are you still worried about the things at the banquet?" ”

Bai Wushuang shook his head slightly, looking at the blue sky, his eyes revealing a hint of expectation.

Her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she replied in a clear voice: "I won't take it to heart, but I just think that along the way, there may be several twists and turns." ”

Holding Bai Wushuang's hand, Chi Jingyu smiled slowly, "I'm here." ”

In the early morning of the next day, when the two went out, they did not make their whereabouts public, and walked out of the castle in civilian clothes.

It didn't take long for the two of them to go out of the city to the suburbs, walking on the wilderness path, and in the breeze, Bai Wushuang felt a sense of pleasure that he hadn't felt for many days.

The road to southern Xinjiang is far away, and the two stayed in an inn dozens of miles away from the capital as civilians that night.

Just as they were about to rest, a sudden abnormal noise next door caused Chi Jingyu to be aware.

"Did you hear anything next door?" Chi Jingyu was admiring the bright silver jade above his head through the open window, and heard the movement next door.

Bai Wushuang sat at the table and drank tea, flipping through an ancient medical book he had brought with him in the faint light.

Hearing Chi Jingyu's sudden question, she withdrew from her meditation.

"What sound? Maybe the chair in the next guest room is upside down......" Bai Wushuang showed an indifferent smile, unimpressed by Chi Jingyu's casual question, and continued to flip through the medical book.

Chi Jingyu felt that something was not right, he leaned out of the window, looked around, and saw a figure floating in the air reflected in the window paper next door.

"Something seems to have happened next door!" Chi Jingyu frowned, and immediately quickened his pace and walked to the door.

Seeing this, Bai Wushuang also put down the ancient book in his hand, got up and left the guest room with Chi Jingyu.

They stood outside the door, Chi Jingyu stretched out his finger, made a boo, and then put his ear to the door and listened quietly.

"I can't hear anything, so I'd better go in and have a look." Chi Jingyu said thoughtfully, and asked Bai Wushuang to stay at the door, knocking lightly with his fingers.

After a few crisp sounds, there was still no movement in the door, and Chi Jingyu tried to push the door, not wanting to push half of it open at once.

But at this moment, the scene in front of them immediately stunned the two, they looked at each other, and they were stunned at the door for a while.

"How so!" Chi Jingyu frowned and thought deeply, sure enough, someone committed suicide.

Bai Wushuang woke up from his surprise and saw the crumbling body hanging on the beams of the room, as well as the chair that fell to the ground, and immediately pushed Chi Jingyu's arm.

"Hurry up, she should have just been hoisted, maybe saved!" Bai Wushuang said and pulled Chi Jingyu into the room together.

However, by the time they rescued her, she had no breath.

That night, the innkeeper's fear of spreading the matter caused panic among the guests told the two to keep it a secret for the time being.

The next morning, when the body was reported to the Yamen, it immediately caused an uproar.

The shopkeeper had no choice but to quietly call Chi Jingyu to a dark place after the people from the yamen came to examine him.

"Guest officer, you can take these ten taels of silver." The innkeeper said with a smile: "I don't mean anything else, but I'm afraid that it will affect the business, and if anyone asks about it, you will say that someone deliberately murdered the guest officer." ”

Bai Wushuang followed beside Chi Jingyu, and she asked puzzledly, "Why do you say that?" Wouldn't the murder affect business? ”

The innkeeper immediately patiently explained with a smile: "That's the case, there is a custom in our town, murder is fate, but suicide is different, it means that this place is resentful, so how can anyone dare to come to live in the inn?" ”

"I'll make it clear by myself whether it's right or wrong." Chi Jingyu refused the shopkeeper's request and took Bai Wushuang back to the hall on the first floor of the inn.

At this time, the door of the inn was full of people, except for a few officials who investigated the matter, the onlookers had different opinions, and they were all talking about the incident.

Seeing that Chi Jingyu refused to help him speak, the shopkeeper took out some silver taels and secretly stuffed them into the hands of the yacha.

"It's convenient for Lord Yacha, my small shop has been open for more than ten years and has been fine, but I'm afraid that last night's incident will affect my business, I think the female guest officer is likely to have been murdered, and I suspect that it has something to do with those two witnesses."

"Okay, I understand what you mean, don't worry, our duty is to do justice." Yacha accepted the silver two with satisfaction, and then squinted his eyes and walked towards Chi Jingyu.

This matter has been noisy in the inn since the morning, and it is already morning, and the two have not yet found time to eat.

The two sat at the table, and as soon as Chi Jingyu opened his mouth to ask Bai Wushuang what he wanted to eat, he saw Yacha coming over majestically.

Bai Wushuang's clear eyes turned, and he suddenly had a premonition that something was not good, and glanced at Chi Jingyu.

But it was still a step too late, and the yacha came over and slapped the table with his hand, and said unceremoniously: "You two are the ones who found the female guest officer hanging on the beam of the room yesterday, right?" ”

Bai Wushuang smiled and replied as if he were a civilian, "Yes, my lord, we heard a voice from next door, and she was out of breath when we rushed over. ”

Another messenger came over, stared at Chi Jingyu with suspicion and asked, "It's just that simple?" How do I feel as if I am inextricably linked to you? ”

The shopkeeper listened for a while, and when he saw that the time had come, he hurried over to add fuel and vinegar.

"That's right, I also think there is something wrong with these two people, when they came to stay yesterday, they found that they were suspicious and suspicious, and there was a murder in the inn that night!"

Bai Wushuang was stunned on the spot when he heard this, Chi Jingyu didn't accept his bribe just now, and now he was bitten back.

"This matter has nothing to do with us!" Chi Jingyu's face was cold, a little spark rose in his eyes, and he denied it conclusively, but he didn't want to anger a few officials in the inn.

"They are clearly quibbles, bring them back to the yamen first, and hand them over to the master for interrogation!" As he spoke, he drew his long knife and put it in front of the two of them, forcibly taking them away from the inn.

After the two were escorted to the yamen by the yamen, Chi Jingyu revealed his identity, but to no avail.

The old man of the yamen was heartbroken, and he made a mistake, and he also received more than 100 taels of silver from the shopkeeper, and he recognized money but not people.

"Not only do you quibble in front of me, but you also dare to pretend to be the minister of the DPRK and China, I think you are really dying and you don't know it!" The old man of the yamen smiled coldly.

"Everything needs proof, and the innkeeper is a bloody squirting man! If you don't believe me, you can go to the scene and investigate! Bai Wushuang desperately broke free from the yacha, his eyes were resolute and determined.

The old man of the yamen laughed dryly, nodded casually and agreed: "Okay, then go to the scene to investigate first, if I find clues, you two will not be able to escape!" ”

"Go see it now!"

The official stopped the two: "Wait, what if you two run away?"

"And what do you want to do?" Bai Wushuang frowned, not knowing what this yamen was for.

"Leave one person here." The official touched his chin and said, making Bai Wushuang's brows furrow even tighter, he meant to detain a person here as a hostage?

"You ......" Bai Wushuang was about to speak, but was stopped by Chi Jingyu.

"Shuang'er, you go, I'll follow them first, I believe you."

"But ......," she feared, the people would make it difficult for him.

"Don't worry about me, don't you even believe me?"

Hearing this, Bai Wushuang had no choice but to compromise: "Okay."

Saying that, Bai Wushuang turned his head and said sharply to the person escorting Chi Jingyu: "If I let me know that you are embarrassing him, I will definitely settle accounts with you!"

"Okay, okay, got it." The official said impatiently, and was about to push Chi Jingyu away, but he was startled by the coercion around him, and withdrew his hand.

Bai Wushuang smiled with satisfaction and said to the master of the yamen, "Let's go."

When he was about to leave, the shopkeeper was unhappy: "Master, you hurry up and arrest them, they did this thing, don't be deceived by them!"

Bai Wushuang turned his head and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Are you doubting the judgment of adults?"

"The villain doesn't dare." No matter how angry he was, he didn't dare to attack at this time, so he had to swallow this breath.

"Go with this officer!" The old man of the yamen frowned, when he was old and dizzy, did he not know people clearly?

The crowd stopped talking and followed him to the place where the body was parked, and no one said anything along the way, and everyone had their own plan in their hearts.

Due to the rush of time, the corpse was randomly parked in a remote place, and the surrounding area was relatively shady, which made people involuntarily feel chills down their spine.

Seeing something covered with a white cloth in the clearing, Bai Wushuang looked for him, and then calmly uncovered the white cloth on the corpse.

The shopkeeper who was close to saw the corpse's face pale and miserable death, his closed eyes seemed to be about to open in the next moment, and he walked to the back of the team tremblingly.

This kind of scene was nothing to Bai Wushuang at all.

The corpse that scared everyone out of the country was no different from the guinea pig who had done experiments in her previous life.

Bai Wushuang looked at the corpse, took out a silver needle from his bag, and stabbed it in the corpse's throat, stomach, and other places, but the silver needle did not change color.

She couldn't help but sigh, arsenic was mostly used for poisoning in ancient times, and arsenic contained sulfide, which would turn black when exposed to silver.

Seeing that Bai Wushuang had no results, the shopkeeper immediately said: "My lord, it's them, they're the murderers!"

"Shut up, won't Lord Ben read it?" The old man of the yamen really couldn't stand the noisy voices around him, and scolded angrily.

Bai Wushuang, who was studying the corpse, suddenly stopped, stretched out his hand to unload the corpse's chin, and after studying it for a while, he showed a knowing smile.

Seeing her smile, the rest of the people also chuckled in their hearts, could it be that she found some clues?

Bai Wushuang didn't pay any attention to their meaning, and took care of himself to lift the white cloth on the corpse, and gently lifted the corpse's arm with his hand before putting it down.
