Chapter Eighty-Five: The Dead
Lu Fang groaned:
"Third suspect? I did think of one, but I forced him in, as if it was a little too forced, and I really couldn't figure out what good he could gain. ”
Shen Xiaoqi frowned, "Could it be that the unwritten crown marquis suspects that it is the king to worship?" ”
As soon as she heard the king's offering, Shen Xiaxuan snorted, and said in a chiseled voice: "That old guy, there is indeed a problem. ”
Shen Xiaoqi's face was displeased: "You said that there is a problem with the king's offering, so there must be a reason?" You can't just take it for granted because he has a conflict with you. ”
Shen Xiaxuan crossed her arms, hugged her shoulders and said:
"In short, I feel that there is something wrong with him, even Brother Lu can see that I am innocent, he is a half-saint, why should he be difficult for me?"
Shen Xiaoqi smiled contemptuously and said: "Shen family, most people are suspicious of you, is it possible that there are problems, I also suspect them, could it be that I also have problems?" ”
Lu Fang interrupted the dispute between the two, and said, "Is there any conflict between the ancestor of the Shen family and the king?" Or a verbal quarrel? ”
Shen Xiaoqi said with a solemn expression:
"I've never heard the ancestor say that there is anything wrong with him and the king's worship, although the ancestor rarely talks about the king's worship, but a few times, he recognizes him very much."
Lu Fang nodded and did not go into this topic again.
I don't know if it's or not, he had a dispute with Wang Chong just now, so he doesn't have a good impression of this person, anyway, he thinks that if there is a third suspect, it must be this one.
It's not random speculation!
First of all, Wang Xian is a demi-saint, and he can also meet Shen Kangbo and meet the conditions for poisoning.
Secondly, if Shen Kangbo died, the king enshrined the only half-saint, and in terms of the right to speak, it must be more weighty.
The most important thing is that Wang Luo, as an offering to the Shen family, must have his own small forces in the Shen family.
In this way, it is also convenient for people to hide drugs.
What Lu Fang couldn't understand was that no matter which suspect it was, there seemed to be no need to frame Shen Xiaoqi.
She seems to be a threat to these people, why? The poisoner is going to frame her?
Shen Xiaxuan leaned over to Lu Fang and said:
"Brother Lu, what should we do? Are you really going to wait here? If Shen Kangbo is really poisoned, will he count this account on our heads? ”
Lu Fang sighed: "For now, we can only wait. ”
In fact, even if he is not trapped here, he doesn't seem to be able to do anything, for the Shen family, he is an outsider and a suspect.
Wanting to investigate clearly, who poisoned Shen Kangbo is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
On the bright side, if Shen Kangbo survives, then everything will not be a problem, otherwise, things may develop in a worse direction.
In the evening.
"What the hell!"
The guards standing outside the hall stopped a healthy woman and asked.
The healthy woman carrying the lunch box bowed down a little respectfully and said, "The old man ordered to bring some dinner to the four inside." ”
The guard checked the lunch box and said impatiently: "Go in, your hands and feet are numb." ”
The woman answered, took a few quick steps into the hall, put the lunch box on the table, and she turned and left, without saying a word from beginning to end.
"Wait a minute!"
Lu Fang opened his mouth and stopped the healthy woman.
The healthy woman turned around and looked at Lu Fang with a slight bow, "Childe, do you have any orders?" ”
"You made the food in the lunch box? Staring at it the whole time? ”
Lu Fang asked.
Shen Xiaoqi sat on the ground with his eyes closed, opened his eyes when he heard the words, and said, "Wen Guanhou, do you suspect that the food is poisonous?" ”
Lu Fang did not answer, but looked at the changes on the healthy woman's face, since someone poisoned the ancestor of the Shen family, it was not impossible to poison them.
The healthy woman's rough face was a little excited, and she said:
"I made these meals myself, I never left the whole process, it can't be poisonous, if you don't believe it, I just have a pack of silver needles issued here, just try it."
She took out a needle bag from her pocket, straightened her face, walked to the table where the lunch box was placed, took out a drawer of food, and tried them one by one.
"Brother Lu, it's not poisonous!"
Shen Xiaxuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that the silver needle hadn't turned black.
Lu Fang thought for a moment and said, "The ancestor of the Shen family is a half-saint, he has been poisoned by someone, and it is obviously too simple to use only a silver needle to distinguish whether it is poisonous or not. ”
Shen Xiaoqi's eyebrows furrowed, "What does Yiwen Guanhou mean?" ”
Lu Fangwan smiled, looked at the healthy woman and said, "Simple, you didn't say that you made the food, you were there all the time, then you can try all the food here." ”
The healthy woman shook her hand again and again, and the muscles on her cheeks shook violently, "I've already used food in the kitchen, and I can't eat it anymore." ”
Lu Fang had been paying attention to the expression of the healthy woman, and seeing that her expression was unnatural, he also excused himself with this lame excuse, and said with a gaze in his eyes:
"Did you poison your food? Otherwise, why don't you dare to try it? ”
The panic on the healthy woman's face turned into resentment, and she gritted her teeth hard, black blood flowed from the corners of her mouth, and she fell to the ground with a bang.
Lu Fang saw that the situation was not good and was about to take control, but he didn't expect it to be a step too late, this seemingly simple healthy woman was exposed, and she was so decisive.
"Dead!"
Lu Fang touched the veins of the healthy woman's neck and found that she had no breath, which made his scalp tingle, which was obviously a dead man.
"What's going on!"
The guards poured into the living room.
Shen Xiaoqi commanded:
"You hurry up and inform everyone in the Shen family, don't eat any food sent out from the kitchen, this healthy woman was poisoned, was found out by Wen Guanhou, and immediately committed suicide by taking poison, such a well-trained person must not be simple!"
The guards, who were trying to figure out the reason, hurriedly ran out.
Shen Xiaxuan hid behind Lu Fang, and her delicate face was wrinkled together:
"Brother Lu, thanks to you for seeing the flaw, otherwise I would have planned to eat some food just now to cushion my stomach."
Lu Fang shook his head solemnly:
"I didn't see a flaw, I was just vigilant, in fact, even if the healthy woman wanted to try the food, I would stop it in the end, because she was an ordinary person, and she couldn't detect whether someone was poisoned or not."
"No matter what, I won't let you eat the food, if it's a poison master, there are too many ways to poison it, and it can't be prevented."
"I've got some food in my storage bag, if you're hungry, eat some first."
He took out the calf meat of the smoked beast from the treasure bag, the weather was cold, and the meat of these beasts could be left for a very long time after being smoked and roasted.
It is very good food both in terms of taste and nourishment.
Shen Xiaxuan took the meat of the alien beast, took out a dagger out of nowhere, cut off a small piece and put it in her mouth to chew, and her eyes were bent into a crescent moon:
"Brother Lu, is this beef shank? It's delicious, isn't it? ”
Shen Daring also walked over weakly and asked for some alien beast meat to eat, he was quite smart, just after eating a few bites, he exclaimed:
"Master, this is alien beast meat, do you want to eat some?"
Shen Xiaoqi shook his head and looked out of the hall worriedly.
Lu Fang understood her worries, and the situation of the Shen family had developed in a worse direction.
If Shen Kangbo does not get out of danger and preside over the overall situation, then the Shen family is probably about to usher in a bloody storm.
