Chapter Twenty-Nine: Confusing
The two of them have gone back and forth for more than 20 moves, pressing step by step, no matter up or down. Jun Ling on the side watched the competition for a long time, and a thoughtful light flashed in his eyes.
With a soft sound, Jun Ye pursed his lips, the fabric around his waist was cut open, and the sword in his hand was pointed directly at Xiao Luo's throat, but he was blocked by a green sword, unable to move an inch forward. She gritted her teeth, Xiao Luo sneered, and the sword in her hand was sent hard, and the woman was shocked by a strong force and took a few steps back, and she already had a cold sword around her neck.
"Miss Jun, your martial arts are very good, Xiao admires you." Xiao Luo said lightly.
"What do you want?" Jun Ye frowned.
"What can I do?" Xiao Luo smiled self-deprecatingly, removing the bitterness in his eyes,
"I'm just a guard. I just hope that you don't hurt him anymore, despite ...... You don't care at all. β
β¦β¦
Shenzhou Continent.
Zuo Sheng and the three rushed to the scene, and the wide plaque was engraved with the sharp word "Lei Fu", and passers-by had already surrounded the door. Mu Ningjiu shouted:
"Let's go! The left judge came. When they heard this, they retreated and left a way for them. Shang Jin walked past them and heard one of them whispering:
"There's nothing controversial about this case, is it? That woman, if she kills her husband, she deserves to die! β
"That's right, damn it, the Yude faction did a good job!"
"But...... Mrs. Xia has always been gentle, not like a lord who will murder her husband! A weak female voice said.
"What do you know, mother-in-law? Don't talk nonsense! When her husband heard this, he frowned dissatisfiedly.
When a scholar heard this, he continued:
"But I also heard from the people of the Lei Mansion that the head of the Lei family died at that time, and Mrs. Xia fainted with fright on the spot."
"Alas, brother! You'd be naΓ―ve! Now women are unscrupulous in order to achieve their goals, and acting is simply easy! Don't be fooled by appearances. β
Shang Jin frowned: It seems that this case is not as simple as it seems.
The three strong men closest to the gate of the Lei Mansion stood menacingly with knives. Seeing Zuo Sheng, he bowed down and said:
"Lord Zuo, the wicked have been solved by our Yude faction, no thanks." They looked completely righteous and awe-inspiring, as if they felt that what they did, whether right or wrong, was extremely honorable and decent.
After the three of them walked into the mansion, the door slowly closed, blocking all the noise of the outside world. Turning left and turning into a room, the overnight stench of plasma had ushered in a swarm of red-headed flies, buzzing above the corpses of the two. Shang Jin's chest was irrepressibly surging with a stream of acid, and he pinched his nose and retched. Mu Ningjiu smoothed his back and asked with concern:
"Are you alright?" Shang Jin saw that although Mu Ningjiu was disgusted, he didn't show it, so he hurriedly pulled out a reassuring smile and held back the sour water that reached his throat.
The man only had a big wound on his chest, but the woman was stabbed several times one after another, and the death was hideous, even if Mu Ningjiu had seen so many dead people, he couldn't help frowning. On the ground, the solidified dark red imprints were intertwined, and large patches of fresh blood were spread out like a red carpet, which was terrifying. Zuo Sheng frowned without frowning at all, he had already squatted and began to examine the corpse, Shang Jin saw Mu Ningjiu's slightly pale lips, and knew that she was trying her best to restrain her body's natural rejection of such a pungent smell and scene, so he pinched her hand and said softly:
"When the rest of the boys finish reading, let's go in again." Mu Ningjiu nodded, walked out of the door with Shang Jin, breathed in the fresh air in the courtyard, and gradually eased up.
Inside the house, the middle-aged man's coat had been quickly cut by scissors, revealing the only wound in his chest. Zuo Sheng carefully examined the edge of the wound and found that the area around the blood hole was extremely smooth and flat, with no signs of being cut by a sharp weapon, and it did not look like it was made by the fruit knife on the ground. He'd seen so many wounds, but he had never seen a sharp weapon that treated them so smoothly, except for a round-headed object like a silver hairpin. But the silver needle didn't cause such a big wound, and no hairpins or other suspicious objects were found around. Zuo Sheng then took a closer look at the wound and found that there were solid, small and small pale red blood scabs around it. He frowned, thought for a while, and then suddenly got up and walked out the door. Seeing him come out so quickly, Mu Ningjiu asked in surprise:
"How? Got a conclusion? Zuo Sheng then instructed a subordinate:
"Didn't you say that there was an eyewitness when the head of the Lei family died that day? Call her. Soon, a maidservant girl in a white mourning dress came with her head bowed and blessed her body:
"Lord Zuo."
Zuo Sheng nodded, and then said, "Tell me what you saw or heard that day." β
The slave and maid don't remember the specifics, but they only know that the lord and the lady were eating fruit in the house at that time. It was a melon from the Western Regions, Madame liked it very much, in order to keep the melon in the freshest state, she cut it for the master with a knife, and the slave maid didn't expect it to become a murder weapon for the master......" She choked with tears in her eyes,
After a while, there was a slight quarrel in the house, and the slave and maid were outside the door at the time, and hurriedly asked if there was anything wrong, and the master replied, 'It's all right, you don't need to come in,' so the slave and maid didn't pay much attention. It wasn't until later, when there was a roar of a heavy object falling to the ground in the room, and the screams of the lady, that the slave and maid rushed in, and saw the old man's chest lying on the ground, and blood kept gushing out, and he couldn't stop it. And the lady trembled, took the fruit knife, and shrank in the corner with a frightened face. β
"How's the amount of health?" Zuo Sheng asked seriously. When the maidservant heard this, she replied in a trembling voice:
"The blood, which was blocked by the old man's hand, flowed slowly, but it still gushed out like a stream, as if it would never end. It was a terrible scene, and the slave and maid ...... I will never forget it. A hint of fear welled up in her eyes, and her body began to tremble.
"Since you didn't see Mrs. Xia kill the Lei family master with your own eyes, why is it rumored to be like this outside?" Zuo Sheng said.
"Although the slave didn't see it, it was Madame herself, and the fruit knife and Madame's hands were full of blood."
"What did Mrs. Xia say?" Mu Ningjiu frowned.
"Madame was so frightened that she kept shaking her head and saying, 'I killed someone, I killed someone...... or something.'"
"How did the Yude faction come in and cut people down this morning? Are the guards of your Thunder Mansion all decorations? Mu Ningjiu asked.
"So much happened yesterday afternoon...... The whole Lei Mansion was busy preparing for the funeral, and the guards were also transferred to do things, so I wanted Judge Zuo to cremate the old man immediately after the inspection, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the deceased after the hour. β
"So...... Those who came in from the main gate to kill? Shang Jin was surprised: This is too strange, although this Mrs. Xia is a suspect, why does Lei Mansion have a careless attitude?
"Those people from the rivers and lakes climbed over the wall from the backyard, and they shot very quickly, and the people in the house didn't have time to stop it, and the lady had already been killed......" The slave said tremblingly, and her face turned white again.
"Okay, you go down and do things first." Zuo Sheng said lightly, then turned his head to Mu Ningjiu and Shang Jin and said:
"The wound of the deceased is only one on the chest, and the shape of the edge of the incision does not match the fruit blade, but this Mrs. Xia said that she killed herself, it is certain that she stabbed the deceased with a knife at that time, which can explain this wound, that is, the blood flow is too large, and the original wound has been smoothed. But ......" Zuo Sheng frowned and continued:
"Under normal circumstances, no matter how much blood flow is, the wound will not change its shape. Unless the wound was as small as a needle prick, if so, the blood stains in the big puddle would not make sense. I haven't figured out any ideas yet, so go in and have a look! Mu Ningjiu nodded, and Shang Jin followed.
Mu Ningjiu used the silver needle he carried with him to put it in the blood that had dried up, and there was nothing unusual about the tip of the needle. She secretly thought: If it is really as the crowd said, Mrs. Xia is an extremely kind and gentle person, and she did not intend to kill her husband, then the wound should not be fatal. Then the only breakthrough is blood flow. It is impossible for the head of the Lei family to be congenitally lacking in blood clotting substances, but it can only be made by acquired drugs. But I just tried it with a silver needle, but there doesn't seem to be any sign of poisoning...... She was also a little confused and confused for a while. Shang Jin suddenly spoke:
"Look, little fox." Mu Ningjiu turned his head and saw a deed of sale on the table, and raised his eyebrows: This is it again? As if thinking of something, she suddenly realized:
"So that day, Mrs. Xia had a dispute with the head of the Lei family, because he wanted to take a concubine, not only a Qinglou woman, but also cut it first and then played? It's no wonder that Mrs. Xia, who has always been mild-mannered, is also angry. However, the strange phenomenon on this corpse still can't be explained. β
"This deed of sale appeared in the previous case. Although the nature of this time is different, could there be some connection? For example, they are all disguised, which is quite difficult to crack? In this way, could someone have done it on purpose? Shang Jin raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Based on the clues just now, and the distinct objects in the house, it can be inferred that it is extremely unlikely that the murderer hid in the house and made a move. Unless it is the murderer who worked the deceased before his death, so that the corpse looks like a different posture. Zuo Sheng suddenly said loudly.
"In other words, it is possible for him to change the blood flow of the deceased with the help of drugs." Mu Ningjiu continued.
"Sister-in-law, is there any medicine that can quickly increase blood circulation in a short period of time and does not contain any toxins?" Zuo Sheng asked.
"Yes, there is a ......" Mu Ningjiu pondered for a while, and said, "There is a plant called blood primrose grass, it is originally a Chinese herbal medicine, which is used to regulate women's endocrine disorders, and it can be caught at any time in the pharmacy, not to mention that the head of the Lei family is unlikely to eat it, even if it is eaten, if it is not excessive, it is unlikely to produce so much blood flow......"
"It's not going to be that simple." Zuo Sheng muttered, "It can't be so easy to crack, there must be something wrong......
Mu Ningjiu squatted down and sniffed gently, the heavy smell of blood was mixed with a very faint fragrance, and she had to wonder if she had smelled it wrong.
