Chapter Twenty-Three: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell
"That couldn't be better."
Chen Sheng's face was full of smiles.
"By the way, Jiang Facao, what is Dr. Li's full name? He did me such a great favor and I have to thank him. ”
Chen Sheng said kindly.
Jiang Heng said with a smile: "The Chen family master is polite, your bounty is enough, with that money, it is also a lot of wealth for me and Doctor Li to share equally, there is no need to be like this, it is too polite." ”
"As for the name of Dr. Li, it is easy to remember, Li Yanshou, the longevity of longevity."
Jiang Heng said Dr. Li's name.
"Li Yanshou, good name."
Chen Sheng chewed on the name, and his heart swelled.
He asked quietly.
"I wonder what Dr. Li's position is in the county government?"
Jiang Heng glanced back at Chen Sheng and asked rather strangely, "What is the head of the Chen family asking for?" ”
Chen Sheng explained: "My father died of poisoning, and I would like to ask Dr. Li to take a look at the house, and if there are any items that are not toxic on weekdays, they are highly poisonous, and if Dr. Li does not have a position in the county government, I will ask him to stay in my house." ”
Jiang Heng said with a smile: "The head of the Chen family is really cautious, and his ideas are quite good, but it's a pity that you are going to be disappointed, Doctor Li is the worship of the county medicine department, and he enjoys the official treatment of Zhengqipin, I am afraid that you will not move." ”
"Master Chen, it's not me Jiang who boasts about Haikou, if it weren't for the fact that I have an old relationship with Doctor Li, there would be few people in Yangcheng who could invite him."
Chen Sheng was surprised: "This identity is so special? Why didn't Jiang Facao say it before, didn't the Chen family snub the distinguished guests. ”
Jiang Heng explained: "The head of the Chen family doesn't know anything, firstly, because Doctor Li doesn't like publicity, and secondly, Doctor Li was invited by Jiang after all, not on business, so it is not appropriate to make a statement. ”
"I see." Chen Sheng suddenly realized.
Quietly, Chen Sheng already knew the information he wanted.
"Is it a coincidence, or has it been planned a long time ago."
All kinds of information flashed through Chen Sheng's mind.
Unexpectedly, a sentence unintentionally actually got an important information.
If Chen Sheng is not mistaken, there was this Doctor Li in yesterday's list.
This unexpected information gave Chen Sheng an idea.
After a while, Jiang Heng and Chen Sheng came to a side room.
This is the accommodation arranged by the Yan family elder for Dr. Li.
Dr. Li paid no attention to the arrival of the two of them, fiddling with some items in his hands.
Jiang Heng greeted with a smile.
"Mr. Li, you can get started."
"Wait a minute, is it just the three of us? Don t look for someone else, Jiang Facao, you also know that I have been studying abroad all the year round, and I am not very familiar with many affairs in the house, do you want to find the Yan family to come over. ”
Chen Sheng looked around and hurriedly shouted.
"No, the others don't matter, we just need to find out the other main poison poisoned by the old master Chen, and it's easy to find the murderer. Besides, most of the people in the Chen Mansion were suspicious, the three of us were not present at the time, so there was no suspicion, as for Sect Master Chen Jing, he didn't want to invite them over if he wanted to come, right? ”
Jiang Heng said quite reasonably, and Chen Sheng was speechless for a while.
"Since this is the case, then do what Jiang Facao said."
Chen Sheng said against his will.
"Sit."
The three sat down.
Jiang Heng spoke first.
"Master Chen, I'll tell you what I know first, and you can see if there are any mistakes."
"Okay, please speak."
"The head of the Chen Ang family died of illness at the moment of the night of the Double Ninth Festival, when there were the elders of the Yan family and the other two elders at the scene."
Chen Sheng nodded, Jiang Heng was right.
Jiang Heng looked at Chen Sheng and nodded.
"It was the Double Ninth Festival, and the head of the Chen Ang family participated in the county's worship ceremony during the day, and also participated in the county's banquet in the evening, and died suddenly when he returned home at night. He comes into contact with a lot of people in a day, and it's also very varied. ”
"If I don't know what the other part of the mix is, it's hard to find the murderer."
Jiang Heng analyzed Chen Ang's actions that day.
Chen Sheng listened carefully, although he didn't want his father's identity to be discovered, he would not let go of his father's murderer.
Of course, this is the case where there is a murderer.
He now had another idea.
Combined with what he knows now, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a self-directed and self-acted golden cicada is out of its shell.
In Chen Sheng's mind, this possibility occupies a large position.
He needed to make a final judgment based on Jiang Heng's inference.
Of course, he also had to find out if Dr. Li was from the Black Ice Terrace.
If Dr. Li is an intermediate, then Chen Sheng will have several conjectures that can be determined.
The first roster is real.
If the roster is true, Chen Sheng will have to change some of his judgments about the Fengyuting case.
Another criterion is whether the roster is complete.
Chen Sheng carefully looked at the names in the roster for a long time yesterday, and he found a problem.
Although these people have good identities and positions, there are very few people who can be leaders.
What does this mean.
It is very likely that the roster of people in the Black Ice Terrace is incomplete or there is another roster.
"So where is Dr. Li now?"
Chen Sheng asked as he listened to his analysis.
"Physician Li has already analyzed another poison, incense."
Chen Sheng frowned.
"If it's incense, it's not very reasonable, my father uses it every day, shouldn't it have been poisoned a long time ago?"
He remembered that there was incense in his father's room, and he used it regularly.
"The head of the Chen family doesn't know that this incense is not an ordinary incense, but a corpse incense."
"I have carefully calculated, on the day your father was poisoned, the flower field outside the window was the most brilliant time, as long as a little corpse incense combined with the smell of those flowers, it was enough to poison the people under the blood element."
Dr. Lee spoke.
Chen Sheng's brows furrowed.
"You mean that my father was killed by the Chen people?"
Corpse incense Chen Sheng knew that this was the incense made by some large families with corpse oil.
Although the taste is very good, but it hurts the heavens and harmony, Daqi has banned it, but I didn't expect my father to die of corpse poisoning.
"Yes, the murderer should be the one who has the opportunity to touch incense. Among the Chen family, how many people can have access to incense? ”
Jiang Heng asked.
"It shouldn't be much, but you have to ask the family for details."
Chen Sheng's hand tapped on the desk, thoughtful.
"Is there a way to bring together all the people in the house who have access to it?"
Dr. Li said, "I have a way to find people who have used corpse incense. ”
"In this way, you pretend not to know, continue to investigate, don't startle the snake, there will be some ceremonies tomorrow, I will find a chance to cooperate with you once, and when the time comes, I will find all the slaves in the house, and you will take the opportunity to act."
Chen Sheng's fingers tapped on the desk and said a solution.
Jiang Heng thought about it and said, "Okay, then so be it." ”
Chen Sheng got up and bowed to Dr. Li: "Please sir, please help me." ”
Dr. Li hurriedly helped him up and said, "There is no need for this, I will definitely help." ”
"In that case, Katsu went out first, and Katsu has to greet guests today."
Chen Sheng and the two exchanged pleasantries and exited the room.
Chen Sheng was busy all day.
Although people have been coming for the past two days, there are no important people except for those who are in the prefectural order.
And today, some families in Yangcheng have sent important people to come to mourn.
Several other major families in Yangcheng, Zhou and Yu were all family heads who came to mourn.
Chen Sheng's future father-in-law also brought his brother-in-law to pay respects.
Chen Sheng dealt with everyone carefully and did not dare to be careless.
It wasn't until late afternoon that Chen Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Sheng looked at his brother and remembered Heifu, instead of looking for other people to inquire, it was better to ask his brother about it.
"Brother, after your funeral, do you still want to go to the Wind and Rain Pavilion to be a postman?"
Chen An looked at Chen Sheng strangely.
"Why not?"
Chen Sheng said with a smile: "Big brother, I know, you are a postman for the sake of the family, but it is inevitably a bit overkill, although the elder brother does not have the world's talent, but the victory is steady, you to manage the family, it must be excellent." ”
Chen An said with a smile: "You want to continue to practice Wendao and set foot in the Wenxin Trial." ”
"You, you still haven't given up your ideals, listen to your brother's advice, practice martial arts well, you have extraordinary martial arts talents, practice martial arts well, once you become a primordial god, there are still a few people in the world who dare to bully our Chen family."
Chen Sheng looked at the eldest brother and sighed with no ambition.
"Brother, how are you doing in the pavilion?"
Chen Sheng changed the topic and was not entangled in this issue.
"Very well, what's the problem?"
Chen An was very strange.
"You don't have a colleague bullying you, right?"
Chen Sheng was a little worried.
"Who dares to bully me, I am a member of the Chen family, how can they have that guts, besides, I am just a mail man, running around all day long, how can they bully me?"
Chen An's words were very proud.
"Then what kind of character are the people in your pavilion, do you want to send them some money, you get along with them."
"It's all little people, it's not worth mentioning."
Chen Sheng watched helplessly ending this failed conversation.
As it was nightfall, Chen Sheng came to a side room.
He straightened his clothes, sat down and waited.
Something is planned in my heart.
I don't know how long it took for a knock on the door.
A man appeared in the doorway.
The door was not locked, it was just hidden, and the man entered the room without hesitation.
The man didn't care about Chen Sheng's movements, and only after observing around did he calm down.
"Black Ice Terrace, the thirtieth part of the Southern Capital, I have seen the Lord."
The man bowed deeply.
"Sure enough, it's you."
Chen Sheng saw the man's face clearly, confirming his first conjecture.
The man looked up, and it was Dr. Li.
Doctor Li looked solemn and did not answer Chen Sheng's words.
"I wonder what the Lord has brought me into?"
Chen Sheng said with a smile.
"I have a few things I want to ask, and you have to answer them realistically."
"Okay."
Dr. Lee answered directly.
"Is the poison you said today true?"
Chen An asked in a deep voice.
"It's true, there is no doubt that the old master of Chen was indeed killed by mixed poison."
Dr. Lee answered directly.
"Then let me ask you another question, did you come to Yangcheng on purpose, or were you simply pulled over by Jiang Heng, or were you under someone's command?"
Chen Sheng asked a key question.
This question concerns a lot of his thoughts, and it is enough to pull the curtain on many things.
For example, whether the father died or not.
