"Are there just seven of you in this building?" , Nie Xiaohu asked.

"Yes, there is no one else in the building except us", Shangguan Yu nodded and replied.

Nie Xiaohu frowned when he heard this, "Shangguan Yu, Deng Xingdong, Kou Wanwei, brother, children?" What kind of mess is this? Nie Xiaohu was confused for a while.

"Mrs. Kou, why is it that one of your sons and daughters is surnamed Shangguan and the other is surnamed Deng? What's going on? ”

"Oh, they are my sons and daughters," Yang replied hurriedly.

"Righteous son and righteous daughter?"

"That's right", Yang nodded and said, "That was a long time ago, one day ten years ago, my lord and I went to Suzhou by boat, on the way we encountered a boat that sank in the middle of the river, and after the people on the boat rescued the people who fell into the water, there was a little boy and a little girl who were lonely, and their parents were unfortunately drowned in the river. ”

Speaking of this, Shangguan Yu on the side couldn't help but have red circles in his eyes and sobbed in a low voice.

"O wretched child!" , Yang stroked Shangguan Yu's head, and then said: "At that time, the lord was pitiful, and our husband and wife were old, but they had no children and no daughters, seeing that these two children were smart and cute, so we adopted the two of them as righteous sons and daughters, until today." ”

"Oh, I see!" , Nie Xiaohu nodded.

"My lord, the autopsy is complete," he said.

"How?"

"The deceased died of poisoning, and the time of death was about an hour and a half, and I tested the poison in a teacup next to the deceased, which should have been poisoned by drinking tea."

"Poison in tea?"

"There is no poison in the tea", he shook his head, "I have checked, there are two teacups at the scene, a teapot, the tea in the teapot and the other teacup are all non-toxic, but the teacup used by the deceased is poisonous, and the murderer should be poisoned in the teacup." ”

Nie Xiaohu thought for a while and asked, "Who were you all at the scene at the time of the incident?" ”

"I," Li Guanyu replied with a raised hand.

"And me", Junko also raised her hand.

"I... I'm here too", Wang Ma whispered with her head down.

"And what about the others?" , Nie Xiaohu glanced at the rest of the people, his eyes were like knives.

"I was upstairs in my own room," Shangguan Yu replied.

"Sister Meng and I were chatting upstairs in my room," Yang replied.

"I'm just lying in my room, I can't go anywhere," Deng Xingdong looked down at his right leg.

"Who made the tea? And who brought the tea? ”

"Back to my lord, it's me", Wang Ma's voice was obviously trilled.

Nie Xiaohu turned his head and stared at Wang Ma's eyes.

"I didn't do it! It's really not me! Wang Ma shook her hands in a panic, almost crying.

"I didn't say it was you, what are you panicking about?" , Nie Xiaohu said coldly.

"It's really not me, how did I know that the tea would be poisonous!" , Wang Ma finally cried out loud.

"Alright, don't cry yet!" , Nie Xiaohu suddenly amplified his voice, so frightened that Wang Ma's crying stopped abruptly, and she sobbed twice.

"Tell me what happened!" , Nie Xiaohu pulled a chair and sat down.

"Yes, my lord", Wang Ma nodded, wiping the tears from her face.

"Before dinner today, Li Yuanwai and his wife came here, and the lord met them in the living room, and then the lady and Mrs. Li Yuanwai went upstairs, and the master told me to make tea, and specially instructed me to use his best tea set and tea leaves.

So I went up to the storage room on the second floor, took out the master's most cherished jade teapot and teacup, as well as the best West Lake Longjing tea, I put the tea leaves into the teapot, and then carried the tray downstairs to the kitchen, poured boiling water, and then brought the tea into the living room.

I watched the master and Li Yuanwai each pick up the teacup and drink it each, but it didn't take a while for the master to hold his stomach and shout pain, and later... Then I saw blood coming out of my eyes, nose, and ears.

I was frightened, so I screamed, and Shunzi also stepped forward to help the master, and the two ladies and young ladies also went downstairs, and then the young master also shouted loudly upstairs, and Shunzi went upstairs to help the young master down, at this time everyone found out that the master was dead, and the lady fainted at that time, it was Li Yuanwai who called Shunzi to go out to report to the official, and then the lord you came, and that's the way it is. ”

"Who else has touched a teacup besides you?"

Wang Ma lowered her head and thought about it, then shook her head, "No, no one has touched it except me, I took out the teacup and went directly to the kitchen downstairs, the tray containing the teacup and teapot was always in my hand." ”

"It's a bit weird!" , Nie Xiaohu pinched the poisonous teacup and turned it around in his hand, rubbing his index finger against a small gap along the edge of the teacup, thinking to himself.

Then he picked up the teapot and looked at it carefully, and said casually: "It's really a good thing, it's carved from a whole piece of jade, right?" I really can't see any traces of splicing and pasting, it must be very valuable! ”

"This is the master's favorite tea set, he spent a lot of money to buy it from Yunnan, the lord he loves face the most, whenever a guest arrives, he has to use this set of tea set to entertain guests", Yang said on the side.

"It's just a pity, the edge of this cup is a little broken", Nie Xiaohu looked at the jade teacup in his hand, shook his head and said regretfully.

"Oh, it was last year when Yu'er was cleaning the teacup, she accidentally fell and hit a small gap, and the master was distressed for several days."

Nie Xiaohu nodded, turned to stare at Shunzi and asked, "What kind of situation do you see?" ”

"At that time, I was standing behind the master, waiting at any time, Wang Ma came in with a tea set, and then put the tea set on the table and retreated to the door, I poured two teacups full, but I didn't expect the master to ...... after only one sip"

Junko also sobbed after speaking.

"Did they say something missing?" , Nie Xiaohu looked at Li Guanyu and asked.

"No, my lord, things are as the two of them said, nothing is missing", Li Guanyu shook his head.

"Were you upstairs at the time?" , Nie Xiaohu turned to look at Shangguan Yu and asked.

"Hmm", Shangguan Yu nodded.

"Who can prove it?"

"This ......", Shangguan Yu frowned in embarrassment.

"I can", Wang Ma on the side suddenly said, "I can prove it for Miss!" ”

Nie Xiaohu turned his head to look at Wang Ma again.

"Oh? How do you prove it? ”

"I got a tea set upstairs and wanted to go downstairs, and when I passed in front of the door of the young lady's room, the young lady stopped me at the door, it turned out that there was sand in her eyes, and asked me to blow it for her, so I helped her blow it, and the young lady was indeed in the room."
