Chapter 255: Backhand (7)
Sang Ling's eyes slowly fell on the maid in front of her, she was still the age of flowers and bones, but she was born very beautiful, a pair of apricot eyes with water, plus a delicate red skin like a lotus in June, wearing a goose-yellow embroidered skirt, even if she was covered in blood, she could see that she had shaved shoulders and a thin waist, and her figure was eye-catching.
This is a very beautiful girl, just looking at it can make countless men and women pity their hearts, and this is the only one who has no stain on the testimony just now, only a shortcoming that can be big or small, or even guessed out of nothing, and is told uncertainly by the other maids.
Sang Ling looked at her casually, her gaze could be regarded as kind, and she met her gaze from afar:
"Your mother died to protect your wife, when?"
“…… Well? This question was very different from what Sang Ling asked just now, and the maid was slightly stunned before slowly answering:
"I heard that it was when I was three years old, and I didn't know anything at that time, and all I knew was what the adults said. They said that my mother was trying to collect herbs for her wife, and she was accidentally attacked by a fierce beast and disappeared. ”
The sound of the opening is also crisp to the ear, like a wind chime struck by the wind.
Sang Ling seemed to be unsuspectingly moved by the tragedy, and sighed slowly:
"You must be very sad without your mother."
It's like an ordinary question that comes out of a feeling. The maid's pupils subconsciously shrank slightly, although she immediately let go, Sang Ling did not miss it, but she had no extra reaction, she still held her head, patiently waiting for the other party's answer, as if she was bored and wanted to talk to someone to relieve her boredom.
The maid's answer was still cautious, as if she had always been in character:
"I don't think Madame is very kind to me and cares about everything."
A jack-of-all-trades answer.
Sang Ling stood up suddenly, and the powerful coercion instantly pressed on the maid in front of her, slamming into her body like a storm:
"Of course, Madame is kind-hearted, so she is used to you white-eyed wolves, secretly attacking her, using poison to hurt her body, Madame's infirmity does not know how many years she will live, how safe is your conscience!"
The maid's face changed suddenly, and she fell to the ground with a thud, her eyes full of surprise:
"I, I didn't, I wasn't......"
Sang Ling didn't listen to her, and immediately shouted:
"Now it has been found out that the real culprit is her! The evidence must still be on her, now I will open her stomach and open my chest, and find out the evidence for me! ”
"Yes!"
"Shh——!h
The sword came out of its sheath, reflecting a sharp cold light, which stabbed into the maid's eyes, stabbing her unconsciously closing her eyes and retreating, as if her heart was grabbed by an invisible hand, and she was dragged violently and fell into the abyss.
She's going to die, she's going to die right away!
Evidence of guilt must not be discovered!
Without much thought, she took a few steps back with a mistake in her legs, trying to escape from the range of the sword's attack, but subconsciously her left hand touched the sleeve of her right hand, covering the side of the sleeve.
In the next moment, there was a "stab" sound, but instead of bad blood, countless strips of rags flew up, and something fell in.
The remaining maids in the room were stunned:
"It's ......"
"Embroidered handkerchief, when Madame took medicine tonight, she covered it in the palm of her hand and took the embroidered handkerchief of the pill."
Huaixi appeared at the door, and then picked up the crucial piece of evidence before the maid tried to reach out.
She looked down at the thing in her hand, and then handed it to Ah Qian.
"Smell it, isn't this thing a ghost?"
Ah Qian was not in a hurry to pick it up, first put clean cloth gloves on his hands before taking the embroidered handkerchief and putting it on the table, he still rigorously used a series of utensils to check, and only looked up in surprise after a long time:
"Yes, it's been adulterated with poison powder! The dose is not much! A dose that can poison people, but it is not fatal. ”
Huaixi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then what rose was more puzzlement:
"It's you, it's you? Madame is not thin on you, why are you doing this! ”
The maid's face was pale, stunned like a puppet, and she was allowed to be bound and detained by the guards of the Wu family on the ground without saying a word.
There were already guards to warn the city lord, there were countless movements outside the door, the innocent people who had been tortured were taken down, everyone began to clean the courtyard, and the bloody atmosphere that was about to suffocate finally faded.
The maids who proved their innocence in the wing room were also taken down to heal, and in a hurry, Ah Qian briefly told Sang Ling about going to the infirmary just now, and the pills that were opened and tested were not poisonous.
Before Sang Ling could ask, there was already a large number of footsteps outside the door, and a man striding into the door came in.
He walked very quickly, and entered the house in three or two steps, and then saw the maid who was detained on the ground, and kicked the maid with a hearty kick:
"Something with a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs!"
The maid was kicked so hard that her face instantly lost blood, and she couldn't say a word when her mouth opened and closed a few times.
The city lord was angry again, and wanted to continue to move, but another person came in at the door.
"The city lord is angry, why don't you listen to what is going on?"
It was Lu Chaoyan who persuaded the fight.
Sang Ling's eyes turned lightly to her, sinking on the other party's perfect smile, with deep meaning.
Lu Chaoyan looked at it with a slight pause, and then smiled:
"Oh, it turns out that Dr. Qingdai caught the real murderer by himself?"
Sang Ling pretended not to hear the other party's allusions:
"From beginning to end, the Wu family guards were all present, including Huaixi, I just found some clues, and the city lord still has to decide what the truth is."
"What about the incriminating evidence?" The city lord didn't seem to want to make a decision, and just wanted to kill the real murderer in front of him with one sword, but he still took a few breaths and asked impatiently.
Huaixi took out a box with a layer of white cloth wrapped on it, which was well protected.
"This is the medicine box I left as soon as my wife was poisoned."
The city lord waved his hand impatiently, and the doctor who had been following him hurriedly went to the scene, took the things away and examined them, and after a moment there was an answer:
"Back to the city lord, this thing ...... Innocuity. ”
The city lord's eyes opened, and the inexplicable poisoning case finally had a clear context, making his eyes much less red, but there was still a little shocking red, mixed with that little suspicion, and stabbed at the doctor like a sword.
"Non-toxic, you say?"
“…… Be. The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued tremblingly: "On the day this elixir was presented, we checked it several times, and then found someone to test it, and came up with a non-toxic answer. I personally handed over this box to Miss Huaixi, and I checked the box and the pills in it just now, and they are also non-toxic. ”
The city lord frowned and listened to the other party's large list of "non-toxic" and "non-toxic", and finally couldn't help but interrupt this:
"Getting to the point!"
The doctor was even more panicked, God knows, as soon as he knew that his wife had been poisoned after taking the pill, he felt that the head on his head was unstable, as if it was tied to the belt of his trousers, and it could fall off at any time if it was shaky. Now that the real murderer has finally been caught, the cold sweat in his head can finally be stopped, but he didn't expect that now the city lord is still pulling him and asking questions, and he is even more panicked:
"At that time, at that time, I checked Madame's pulse, and it was indeed poisoned, this poison came from oleander, although it was very poisonous, but the dose was not much, and it did not do much harm to the monk, so it was easy to unravel. But there is no such plant in the house, and the lady's clothing, food, housing and transportation are all meticulous, and it is impossible to come into contact with oleander, so the only possibility is the pill in the mouth, and then I will urge ...... Induce vomiting, and the undigested and complete elixir that spit out really has oleander ingredients. ”
It seemed that it was because of the pill, Sang Ling didn't panic when she heard it, but said lightly:
"This person is deliberately harming me, so he made my wife suffer, and he is causing my wife to be affected."
As she spoke, she bowed her head and bowed, which was regarded as an apology.
Sure enough, the city lord who was still staring at her just now slowly eased his gaze, temporarily satisfied with her attitude, but still with some residual anger, he snorted angrily:
"Since you know that there is something wrong, you can quickly say, how did you catch this real murderer?"
Sang Ling sighed, stopped the worry of Ah Qian beside him who wanted to speak, pointed to the only round table in the room, and explained:
"Ah Qian is my beloved apprentice, he is proficient in testing, he first checked all the eating utensils of his wife, and they were all non-toxic answers, and then he went to the medical center, and he knew that it was the same conclusion when he looked at their faces. Luckily, I got a key clue. ”
Huaixi presented the embroidered handkerchief, the doctor examined it, and nodded with a pale face:
"City Lord, it's the same toxin as the elixir used by Madame."
The city lord smiled coldly:
"Madame's kindness back then raised a white-eyed wolf."
The maid's face was blue and white, and she was completely in trouble.
Lu Chaoyan was the first to react:
"What embroidered handkerchief, how can a maid be so bold? Qing Dai, the city lord checked several times and didn't find it, how did you notice it? ”
Sang Ling pretended not to hear what the other party meant, walked to the side of the maid who was bound by a finger-thick hemp rope, and regardless of the other party's struggles, she lifted the remaining complete sleeve, revealing a white lotus-like smooth arm.
Lu Chaoyan stood next to him and smiled faintly:
"Qingdai, this is all the girl's house, there are so many people in the house now, what are you doing?"
The maid's face was already swollen red with shame, and she was completely angry: "If you want to kill or chop, why do you humiliate me!" ”
Sang Ling calmly pointed to her wrist:
"What are you hiding this thing for?"
The maid was startled, and suddenly found that something was wrong, and subconsciously wanted to hide the wrist, but it was tight, Sang Ling tightly clamped the hand bones, completely exposed the things on the wrist, and also showed it to Lu Chaoyan.
Lu Chaoyan's pupils shrank slightly, and he subconsciously glanced at the city lord, but the other party's attention was on the maid's wrist, and he didn't find her abnormality. She breathed a sigh of relief and looked away, only to bump into the other's smiling eyes.
It's the doctor who cultivates Qingdai.
Her hand in her sleeve tightened, her nails pressing against her palm, giving out a dull pain.
Sang Ling looked in the direction of the city lord as usual, as if the gaze just now was a coincidence:
"City Lord, take a look, what is this thing?"
It was a jade bracelet, the color was not very good, but because of the engraved runes, it was a spiritual treasure with some self-defense power, because the owner cherished it, and wore it close to the body for a long time, and it was covered with a layer of glaze, faintly showing a little gloss.
Even so, in the eyes of the city lord it was a rough bracelet:
"It's barely a spiritual treasure, what's wrong with this?"
The maid looked up at him suddenly, her eyes full of disbelief. Something deep under his eyes was hidden so deep that it was almost a blur of flesh and blood.
Sang Ling took in the maid's reaction and confirmed the answer in her heart. It is also the only shortcoming of the maid who was raised by the lady who can be big or small, and even guessed out of nothing.
"City Lord, this thing should have been given to her by you, she treasured it every day, and she couldn't bear to wear it, so she hid the bracelet in her sleeve and wore it, if I hadn't caught a glimpse of it by chance today, I wouldn't have suspected her."
The maid was already in tears, and her unblinking eyes stared at the face of the city lord. The strangeness and rejection in the eyes of the other party were like a camel being pressed on the last straw, and they completely collapsed:
"A bracelet, it turned out to be a bracelet. Ridiculous, really ridiculous! I did it to my wife, who regarded me as a daughter, for the sake of the bracelet, and also because the bracelet was exposed. Hahaha..... Jokes, I'm just a joke, all this is really a cycle of cause and effect, and retribution is not happy. ”
"I gave you this bracelet?!" As soon as the words came out, the city lord stood up suddenly, and his face began to turn pale.
