Chapter 21: What's in the coffin isn't the master's wife
"But didn't you say that my mother was poisoned, and what else is there to test?" Qiao Ruxue was a little strange.
"It was poisoned, but at that time, Shi Niang was actually poisoned by a mixture of two toxins, one of which is called the poison of erodion, which is also the most important toxin, and the other one, Master and I are not sure what it is." Liu Fan explained.
"Then what do you want to prove when you open the coffin?" Qiao Ruxue asked again.
"If we want to prove what the second toxin is, as long as we are sure that it is what we guessed, we can know who the real culprit is." Liu Fan responded.
"So you've got a guess?" Qiao Ruxue said in a deep voice.
"yes, it's just not confirmed yet." Liu Fan nodded.
"How are you going to confirm it?" Qiao Ruxue was a little puzzled: "After all, everyone is no longer there." ”
"Master has been developing the antidote to that poison all these years, and now it has finally come to fruition, so let me go down the mountain to confirm that if Master Niang is really hit by that poison and pours the antidote on the bones, there will definitely be changes." Liu Fan continued.
Qiao Ruxue was still a little hesitant, not wanting to disturb her mother's rest.
"Ruxue, if you want to find the real murderer, this is the best way." Liu Fan persuaded again: "I believe that Shi Niang will not blame us." ”
Qiao Ruxue took a deep breath, and then nodded: "Okay, just do as you say, but there are no tools here, how can I open the coffin?" ”
"It's easy." Liu Fan smiled faintly, then he walked to the tomb, stepped on the ground with his right foot, and an invisible wave of qi spread from under his feet, and the ground suddenly collapsed, revealing a coffin buried in the ground.
Seeing this scene, Qiao Ruxue's eyes suddenly widened, and her face was incredulous.
This guy is too good, isn't it?
Liu Fan looked at the coffin in front of him and bowed slightly: "Master, in order to find out the truth and not let the real murderer go unpunished, I was offended." ”
Immediately, he grabbed the corner of the coffin and slammed it hard, and the coffin lid was lifted all at once.
Qiao Ruxue couldn't bear to look at the situation inside the coffin, don't look over.
Liu Fan walked over and saw a slightly blackened skeleton inside, he took out a small white porcelain bottle from his arms, opened the cap, and poured the light brown liquid inside onto the bones.
He stared at the skeleton, observing the changes on it.
But to his disappointment, nothing has changed, which means that the skeleton in the coffin has not been poisoned by the second poison.
The clue was broken all at once.
Liu Fan sighed secretly.
He was inexplicably moved in his heart, looked at Qiao Ruxue and asked, "Ruxue, do you remember what the height of the master is?" ”
Qiao Ruxue still didn't dare to look at the situation in the coffin, turned her back to Liu Fan and said, "One meter seven." ”
"One meter seven?" Liu Fan exclaimed.
He took a general look, and the female skeleton in the coffin was at most one meter six and five before her death!
This skeleton is not his master's!
Thinking of this, he was shocked.
What really happened back then?
If this skeleton is not his master's, then where are his master's bones?
"Liu Fan, what's the result?" Qiao Ruxue still said with her back to him.
But Liu Fan was still immersed in the shock and didn't hear her words.
Seeing that Liu Fan didn't respond, Qiao Ruxue couldn't help but turn her head to look, and when she saw that there was no change on the skeleton, she frowned and said, "Is there no result?" ”
"Ruxue, this skeleton is not the master's." Liu Fan took a deep breath and spoke in a deep voice.
"What did you say?" Qiao Ruxue exclaimed: "This is not my mother? ”
"Yes, although this skeleton is also a woman, her height before her death was at most 1.65 meters, far from reaching 1.7 meters of Shi Niang, so I concluded that this was not Shi Niang." Liu Fan said in a condensed voice again, his expression was very calm.
It seems that the situation is more complicated than he thought.
"How is that possible?" Qiao Ruxue was also shocked by the news and couldn't believe it.
"Were you there when my mother was buried?" Liu Fan stood up and frowned.
"You're asking, have I seen my mother buried with my own eyes?" Qiao Ruxue quickly understood what Liu Fan meant.
"Yes." Liu Fan nodded.
"Nope." Qiao Ruxue shook her head and said, "I was so sad that I fainted, so when my mother was buried, I was still at home." ”
Liu Fan pondered: "Could it be that the people of the Xiao family are doing ghosts?" Hidden the body of Shi Niang and buried it somewhere else? ”
But why did they do it? And what's in it for them? Qiao Ruxue was puzzled.
"If they hadn't dropped the bag, who would have done it?" Liu Fan pondered.
"Is it possible that after my mother was buried, someone dug up the grave, stole the body from the coffin, and then put another woman's body inside?" Qiao Ruxue guessed.
When Liu Fan heard this, his heart moved secretly, and he carefully observed the situation around the coffin.
Suddenly, he noticed some empty holes in the coffin, and his eyes widened slightly.
Generally speaking, nails are nailed to the coffin in one go, one nail corresponds to a hole, and now there are some empty holes in the coffin, which can only indicate that the nails that were nailed before have been pulled out, and then someone has nailed the nails again elsewhere on the coffin.
Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "You're right, this coffin has indeed been opened before. ”
Qiao Ruxue's eyes widened: "Someone really stole my mother's body?" ”
After speaking, she looked angry again: "Which bastard lacks virtue and doesn't even let go of the deceased?" ”
Liu Fan squinted slightly, and a strong murderous aura flashed in his eyes: "The most suspicious person is the person who poisoned Shi Niang back then, and the purpose of this should be to prevent someone from finding out any clues through Shi Niang's corpse and exposing his identity." ”
"But there is a vast sea of people, and more than ten years have passed, where to find the murderer?" Qiao Ruxue said with a painful face.
She now knows that the person she has been worshipping all these years is not her own mother!
"Maybe the people of the Xiao family know something." Liu Fan thought of a breakthrough.
"You mean, the Xiao family has something to do with this matter?" Qiao Ruxue covered her mouth and lost her voice.
"I'm not sure, but it's possible." Liu Fan shook his head and said, "No matter what, we have to test it." ”
Qiao Ruxue nodded secretly.
That's the only possible clue now.
Then Liu Fan closed the coffin again, sealed the soil in it, and restored everything to its original state.
Qiao Ruxue looked at the tombstone in front of her and muttered to herself, with a blank face: "Since my mother died, I have never felt the warmth of my family in the Xiao family, every time I am wronged, I run to my mother's grave alone and stay for a few hours, only here, I can feel a sense of security, extremely relieved, but now you tell me that it is not my mother who is lying here, so what should I do in the future?" If I'm wronged, where else can I go? ”
As she spoke, two lines of tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, her eyes were slightly red, and her face was full of confusion and confusion.
