Chapter 537: Clues
"The last sentence that Lady Sally said to me may indeed end with the word 'learn'. ”
Gangu Yu said with a solemn face: "At that time, I only thought it was a meaningless gasp, or something that I didn't have time to say, and I didn't think about it at all. Now that she thinks about it, she wants to say that the academy, or the apprentice, is that she wants me to be careful with someone next to me, and this person is probably my personal apprentice. ”
"So you suspect Lancel?" Yin Yimo looked at the image of the water reflection stone reflected in mid-air, and said softly, "It's because of this...... Alocasia?"
"Not bad. Gan Guyu nodded, "Before, I couldn't think of it because the scope was too wide." But when I saw the pot of Alocasia, I was more than eighty percent sure that the two Mrs. Sally and Monta had been poisoned by Alocasia. ”
Alocasia, also known as Guanyin dripping water, is a common ornamental plant that purifies the air when placed indoors. Its bulbs and leaves can actually be used as medicine to treat malaria, hernia and other diseases, and external use can treat snake dog bites and carbuncle swelling and poison.
However, before taking Alocasia as a medicine, it must be changed many times and fried for a long time, because the sap in its stems and leaves is actually poisonous. If healthy skin comes into contact with Alocasia juice, it will itch and even cause blindness in the eyes.
If Alocasia juice is taken raw, it can easily cause symptoms such as itching and swelling of the tongue and throat, salivation, and heartburn. In severe cases, it can lead to toxic asphyxiation and eventually death due to cardiac paralysis.
The symptoms of the two ladies when they were poisoned were exactly the same as those that could be caused by Alocasia juice.
"But didn't Lancel say he picked up that alocasia?"
Yin Yimo tilted her head: "Judging from the time when he picked up the alocasia, it is entirely possible that the murderer squeezed the alocasia juice and threw it away, and then Lansel picked it up by chance." You don't believe what he says?"
There are too many doubts about his words. ”
Gangu Yu sighed, shook his head, and said, "First of all, putting a plant that you don't know the roots of at all in your bedroom is actually a big risk. Unless he's sure the plant isn't poisonous, or he's sure it won't be poisoned. ”
Yin Yimo thought for a while and said lightly: "There was a dean as an example before, and the students in the academy can actually do this kind of thing, not to mention your personal apprentice." ”
"Okay, let's leave that out for now. Gangu Yu waved his hand, "Then how do you explain Lady Sally's last warning? The person who killed her mouth is likely to be my personal apprentice, and under this mutual confirmation, Lancel's suspicion can be said to be infinite. ”
"The most important point is, if the murderer is someone else, then why didn't he just destroy the alocasia after obtaining the alocasia juice, or hide it in some storage ring, but instead threw it in the corner of the so-called dormitory hallway, and then let Lansel pick it up?
"Finally, let's analyze the motive for the crime. ”
Gangu Yu continued very quickly, "Sally and Monta were silenced because they knew something they shouldn't know. And what they found out seemed to be related to me. Reminiscent of Lancel's origins...... May I venture to speculate that this time it's the Merigians who are making trouble? Yes, Sally's last words could also be the House Council, and someone is trying to use my mentorship to make a fuss?"
Hearing this, Yin Yimo shook her head gently: "Then why has it been a few days, and the Alocasia is still in Lansel's bedroom, and it has not been destroyed or hidden, and it has been let you see it?"
Gan Guyu was stunned when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he speculated: "Perhaps, he is deliberately testing me, wanting to see if I recognize Alocasia?"
"Brother Yu...... You need to calm down now. I think you've probably been induced. ”
Yin Yimo shook her head a little helplessly: "If Lancel really has a problem, he doesn't need to play with fire in front of you, he has a safer approach." You see, if you hadn't seen Alocasia at him today, you wouldn't have thought of going there, would you?"
Gangu Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then wondered: "You trust Lancel so much?"
"I actually believe in myself more. Yin Yimo said lightly, took out a stack of materials, and pushed it in front of Gan Guyu.
"What is this?" Gan Guyu picked up the information and looked at it, and was stunned for a moment.
"Information about all your personal apprentices. Yin Yimo said lightly, "Including all the information at the time of screening, as well as the follow-up I ordered people to do." According to the information, there should be no problem with Lancel, and-"
Yin Yimo got up and drew another circle somewhere on Lancel's document: "This person has always had a great curiosity about unknown things, and when he was a child, he also had the experience of taking unknown monster cubs home to raise them. ”
Gangu Yu was stunned: "It seems that this can only show that he has the possibility of picking up the Alocasia and planting it?"
"Brother Yu, don't you think that Lancel's habit is very likely to be taken advantage of? Otherwise, how can you explain that Alocasia will inexplicably appear in the corridor outside Lancel's dormitory?" Yin Yimo tilted her head and said meaningfully.
Gangu Yu was stunned again, but immediately understood what Yin Yimo meant: "You mean, someone also knows about Lancel's habit and deliberately asked him to pick up the Alocasia to disrupt our sight?"
"It's not enough. Yin Yimo smiled lightly, "Didn't you directly suspect the Merigian family just now?"
Gangu Yu's pupils suddenly shrank, and his brain exploded: "You mean?!"
"Have you forgotten what happened in the Natural Forest before?"
Yin Yimo reminded: "If I am not mistaken, the person who sneaked into the natural forest and robbed you two traitors seems to be trying to pour dirty water on the Merigian family. ”
Ganguyu's back was instantly soaked in cold sweat.
"I've been following this since the last time your green plan was accidentally exposed, but unfortunately there hasn't been much real progress. ”
Yin Yimo said slowly: "This time, it's too similar." The opponent's approach is almost identical to the previous one, but it's clear that this time the layout is more clever. It was obviously an accidental leak of some news, but now not only did we deal with the two unstable factors of Monta and Sally perfectly, but also took advantage of the situation to draw our attention to the Merigian family......"
"And it made me suspicious of my own students. ”
Ganguyu added: "Now that Lansel is presiding over the compilation of the Spring and Autumn Essentials, Ai Jin'er is obsessed with the cultivation of new varieties of crops. The slightest suspicion I have about them will seriously affect their progress. ”
"Speaking of Ai Jin'er......" Yin Yimo turned to the page about Ai Jin'er, "Perhaps, you should take a look at this." ”
Gangu Yu picked up the page of information and looked at it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but sigh long: "Yimo, Yimo, how can I thank you?"
"Admit that I am a qualified helper. (To be continued.) )
