Chapter 201: The Truth About Death
"How do you know if you can't see it if you don't try?"
Shi Qingxue smiled slyly and continued to close the door.
Do you really think you are a 'colorful phoenix', can you shine?
Before Mo Junyu's speechless expression could be put on his face, something magical happened.
The moment Shi Qingxue just closed the door, everyone did feel that it was dark in front of them, but in the blink of an eye, a bright light shone in through a small hole in the corner and fell on the floor in the corner of the room.
The beam was only three or four inches in diameter, but because the midday sun was bright enough, one could make out the general direction in the dark.
"Why, how can this be?" Mo Junyu's voice stammered.
This room was obviously arranged by him according to the requirements of the bird messenger, absolutely isolated from the beam, for fear of scaring Caifeng.
But now it seems that no matter whether the door is open or closed, the light in the house has never decreased, so is it possible for Caifeng......
"No, Caifeng was poisoned and died."
Shi Qingxue saw Mo Junyu's doubts at a glance and took the initiative to explain.
Mo Junyu didn't believe it, and pointed to the hole in the corner of the house, "Then how to explain this." ”
Shi Qingxue shrugged, "I can only say that the 'Colorful Phoenix' is not as afraid of the sun as we imagined." I have read "Qinzhou Chronicles: Colorful Phoenix", although it says that Caifeng likes yin and lives in the depths of the forest where there is no light all year round, but there is no clear place where it is pointed out that Caifeng cannot see the light, and it ......"
When it came to the key place, she suddenly stopped.
Mo Junyu looked sideways and urged, "And what?" Why don't you go on? ”
"It's nothing, what follows has nothing to do with this matter. However, it can be learned that Caifeng did not die because of this extra beam.
It's just that it's possible that this beam actually played a role. Shi Qingxue pursed her lips, her gaze kept falling on the trajectory of the beam.
Mo Junyu still didn't understand, "Since you said that Caifeng didn't die because of the light, then why do you say that Caifeng's death is related to this light?" ”
"Don't you notice that the light is shining in a little subtle?" Shi Qingxue blinked and reminded slyly.
Mo Junyu walked to the landing point of the light, and then looked at the location where the birdcage had been placed, and was even more puzzled, "These two places are a full distance of one or two zhang, no matter how divergent it is, it is impossible for this light to affect Caifeng, right?" ”
You can't do it in the air, right?
Shi Qingxue smiled, summoned Xia Mang, and attached it to the other party's ear, "Xia Mang, you ...... this"
Mo Junyu watched Xia Mang take something from Shi Qingxue's hand, but because of the angle, he didn't see what it was.
Because of his identity, he didn't have the face to ask.
I had to suppress the curiosity in my heart, and looked directly at the two of them.
He wanted to see what these two men could do.
I saw Xia Mang take the things and fly up to the beam of the house first, and flew over with a 'swish', without stopping on it, and the action was as fast as if she wanted to show off her light skills.
Mo Junyu's eyes widened, and his suspicions were even more serious.
He vaguely sensed that the roof that Xia Mang had just skimmed was the same place he had just mentioned that there was a trace but nothing left.
He saw that something seemed to be placed on it, but the room was too dim to see what was inside.
Then, Xia Mang walked over to him again and blessed him, "Your Highness, please let me go, the slave needs to place something in your place." ”
Mo Junyu raised his eyebrows, didn't speak, and took the initiative to give way to Xia Mang.
Xia Mang stood where Mo Junyu was standing just now, the beam of light shot right on her face, she took a half step back, and when the beam fell on her chest, she turned her head to look at Shi Qingxue.
Shi Qingxue shook her head and waved at her, "Step back a little further and let the beam shine under your feet." ”
After Xia Mang did so, she looked at Shi Qingxue again, and it wasn't until Shi Qingxue nodded that she took something out of her arms again.
Mo Junyu was confused by the mysterious actions of this master and servant, and couldn't help asking, "What do you want to do?" ”
Shi Qingxue smiled and said, "Your Highness, don't be impatient, we'll see later." ”
Xia Mang took out a round bronze mirror this time.
She placed the bronze mirror where she had just stood.
Stand up.
The beam of light that came in from the corner of the eaves fell right on the mirror surface of the bronze mirror.
Adjust the angle so that the beam is reflected back to the beams.
And then it landed exactly where Chamang had touched.
Something magical happened in an instant!
The beam of light bounced off again after hitting a spot in the eaves, this time exactly where the birdcage had been placed.
If Mo Junyu remembered correctly, it happened to shine on the bamboo tube that held the spring water of Caifeng.
Mo Junyu's eyes were about to turn into dead fish eyes, and he was speechless in surprise.
"How so?" He couldn't believe what his eyes were seeing.
It's just a small beam of light, far away from the birdcage, and it shouldn't have anything to do with it.
After two reflections, it hit the birdcage right now.
"So Caifeng was still killed by this beam!" Mo Junyu was so excited that he almost shouted.
He finally found a way for the murderer to kill Caifeng, and the evidence is ready-made!
Because he suddenly remembered who was the person who had stood in Xia Mang's current position?!
Shi Qingxue hurriedly stopped Mo Junyu's fantasy and reminded again: "Your Highness, Qingxue just said that Caifeng likes yin, but it doesn't mean that it will die when it touches the light, it was poisoned to death."
And as far as we have the clues, it is not enough to prove who arranged all this, after all...... There's no mirror in this room anymore, is there? ”
Mo Junyu suddenly wilted when he heard this.
Shi Qingxue was right, even if he ran to tell Mo Xiangbin about his major discovery now, Mo Xiangbin probably wouldn't believe it.
There is not even a decent evidence, and it is impossible to deduce who the murderer is because of the traces of someone moving on the beams of the house or who has stood in a certain position, right?
Mo Junyu was really anxious, regardless of his image, he grabbed his hair irritably, and asked Shi Qingxue, "If these are useless, then why are we busy working for a long time just now?" Waste of time! ”
Shi Qingxue: "......"
The people who had been acting just now were obviously her and Xia Mang, how did Mo Junyu think that he was also busy?
"I came here just to determine how the murderer killed Caifeng, and now I've found it."
Mo Junyu showed a really such expression, "I said from the beginning that someone used this beam to shoot Caifeng to death, you still have to say that Caifeng was poisoned." ”
"......" Shi Qingxue no longer knew how to explain to the other party that 'a small beam of light really can't kill a dead bird' is such an easy-to-understand truth.
Shi Qingxue sighed and patiently started from the beginning: "Doctor Shen has found out that the bamboo tube in the bird cage has poisonous stains, but because the poison is extremely easy to attack, if the bamboo tube is put in the morning, then Caifeng would have been poisoned a long time ago, so he deduced that someone poisoned the spring water you added at the birthday banquet......"
"Impossible, every time I prepare spring water for Caifeng, Lone will take a sip first." Mo Junyu categorically denied this speculation.
Shi Qingxue also nodded and said in agreement: "That's right, that means that the poison can only be in the bamboo tube, and then melt into the water through the bamboo tube." Caifeng was poisoned after eating. ”
Mo Junyu retorted again: "But didn't you just say that this poison attacks quickly, and the bamboo tube has already been poisoned?" ”
"Yes!" Shi Qingxue nodded again.
Mo Junyu felt that she was going to be confused by Qingxue, why did she nod no matter what the answer was?
"So how the hell did Caifeng die?"
Shi Qingxue smiled and handed Mo Junyu a small square scarf, "You smell this first, can you guess what it is?" ”
Mo Junyu did so, just put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and immediately moved away.
He covered his nose in disgust, "What, it smells like rotten eggs?" ”
"It's sulfur and white phosphorus." Shi Qingxue revealed the answer.
Jiang Mo Junyu still looked confused, and explained in detail: "Doctor Shen also found these two residues in the water, and both of them are extremely easy to catch fire at room temperature, so it is very likely that someone first wrapped the poison with two things and placed them at the bottom of the bamboo tube.
Because none of them are soluble in water, and poisons do not seep into the water. Caifeng will not be poisoned if she drinks such water. But with that beam, the heat suddenly gathered at the bottom of the bamboo tube, and the temperature rose ......"
Shi Qingxue didn't finish explaining, Mo Junyu had already understood, "After these two burn, the poison also flowed out, so Caifeng drank the poisonous water and was poisoned!" But who came up with such a bad method? ”
With such twists and turns, anyone who ignores a detail may miss the truth.
Shi Qingxue thought for a while and reminded vaguely: "If you want to kill Caifeng in this way, you must meet several conditions. One is to have access to the bamboo tube from the beginning, the second is to be able to come and go freely in this house, and the third is to ......"
She didn't say any more, but looked at the ground where the mirror was placed.
If the mirror on the roof can be taken away afterwards, the mirror on the ground must be taken away at the time of the crime, otherwise it will be discovered at once.
Mo Junyu's eyes darkened, and his face was angry, but he was immediately forced down by him.
He also had a question: "Even if all this is really designed by the third child, how can he accurately calculate how we will lay out Caifeng's residence?" ”
Shi Qingxue lowered her eyes and said lightly: "He doesn't need to guess, as long as you do what he designed at the beginning." ”
"Joke, how could Lone listen to him?" Mo Junyu sneered, intuition that what Qing Xue said was impossible.
He swore that "Lone has no experience in raising colorful phoenixes, so he is all in accordance with the requirements of the bird messenger......"
Mo Junyu's face turned pale suddenly, his voice stopped abruptly, and there was no need to say the rest of the words anymore.
That so-called bird messenger is Mo Junjiu's person at all!
The expression on Mo Junyu's face changed and changed, and then fell into a long silence.
Shi Qingxue had no choice but to take the initiative to change the topic, "Next, let's go to Rui Wang's Mansion to have a look!" ”
Mo Junyu didn't know why, "Caifeng's cause of death has been determined, what are we going to Rui Wangfu for now?" ”
Shi Qingxue pointed to the holy decree and the note in his hand, and said with a smug smile: "Next, we should test whether the holy relic Caifeng is really so magical and can record yin and yang." ”
Mo Junyu's eyes lit up again all of a sudden, and he hurriedly said, "That's right! Why didn't you expect that you just confirmed that the murderer had met with Caifeng before killing Caifeng, so Caifeng must have recorded the murderer's appearance. ”
Shi Qingxue smiled and said nothing, looking tacit.
By the time they arrived at King Rui's Mansion, Mo Junyang had already arranged the place for the test, obviously expecting them to come back.
It's just that when his eyes touched Shi Qingxue, he was obviously stunned.
Shi Qingxue pretended not to see Mo Junyang's emotional changes, took the initiative to explain why she appeared here, and briefly recounted her experiment in the East Palace just now.
The more Mo Junyang listened, the deeper his brows wrinkled.
Interrupting Shi Qingxue's words unhappily, "This matter has nothing to do with you, you can go back to Shiguo Mansion first." ”
The scene was suddenly a little awkward.
Mo Junyang actually drove Qingxue away?
No one knows why Mo Junyang, who has always been obedient to Shi Qingxue and is not as gentle as Mo Junyang, would say such a thing.
There was even a hint of obvious disgust in his tone.
The audience said they couldn't.
Xia Mang looked at Shi Qingxue worriedly, for fear that his master would be furious because of this.
"Liuniang." Xia Mang's expression became ugly when he saw it, and he hurriedly shouted cautiously.
