"People who are on the same side can't talk about acquaintance, how can they be said to be old acquaintances."

Li Yunmin frowned, "I will go to Jiafu purely because Jia Shixiang died strangely, and he has nothing to do with the Jia Lin clan." It's not selfish to let you pay attention to the Jia Lin clan, it's because she's suspicious. Also, I deliberately brought you instead of Qin Ji, firstly, to avoid suspicion, and secondly, I was worried that you would misunderstand......"

He rarely explained anything to others, but now he said a lot in one breath, and as soon as the last sentence "I'm worried that you misunderstood" came out, the two looked at each other blankly, and they were both stunned for a while.

Mo Shuoyue didn't react for a while, and blurted out: "I'm afraid I will misunderstand something?" ”

Li Yunmin didn't answer, slowly lowered his eyes and looked back at the paperwork on the small table, and his expression returned to that faint alienation and peace.

However, after a cup of tea, I don't know whether it was because the matter in the document was too difficult to decide, or because of other reasons, the page was not turned for a long time.

In the glass lampshade hanging on the wall of the carriage, the flames swayed with the bumps of the carriage, and in the long silence, Mo Shuoyue, who had always been particularly slow in some things, seemed to have finally captured something different.

If a conjecture is formed, it can be corroborated by countless small things from the past.

Mo Shuoyue didn't dare to continue to speculate, but she couldn't help but want to find the answer.

Fortunately, when I was hesitant and confused, I heard Li Yunmin's voice:

"I'm worried that if you don't see it in person, you will hear it and ruin the reputation of this king. It's a pity that even if you bring your understanding, it won't necessarily change anything. ”

Mo Shuoyue suddenly felt a little sorry in her heart, after all, she lost her words for a while, and she insulted the reputation of others, so she felt a little embarrassed, and she didn't know what to say.

Put his hands on his knees a little helplessly, and sit with his head bowed, quite a well-behaved and quiet look like a good student waiting for training.

Li Yunmin's gaze skipped from the paperwork and fell on this girl who was actually a little restrained and cramped, and she couldn't help laughing.

But he has always been accustomed to hiding his joy and anger, and his true emotions are rarely revealed in front of people, so he subconsciously picks up the folding fan at hand to cover up.

Who knows, the person on the other side instinctively shrank back.

He finally laughed out loud, and threw the folding fan directly on the small table, "Yes, I know how to hide." ”

Being teased so unabashedly, Mo Shuoyue instead had a feeling of breaking the jar, but she felt that it didn't matter.

"Lord Wang might as well take a look at this."

She took out the small bamboo tube from her sleeve and handed it to Li Yunmin, "Lord Wang, please see, what is unusual about this piece of bamboo?" ”

Li Yunmin didn't answer, and raised her eyebrows slightly, "Where did you get it from?" ”

"This was taken in the tea room of Ru Accord, which is where Jia Shixiang died of poison."

She paused for a moment, as if she understood what he was disgusting, and said with a smile: "This piece of bamboo, still fresh green, has not been sun-dried or carefully treated, and is diametrically opposed to those well-cared objects in the Accord. I vouch for my life that this is not something used by the dead. ”

Li Yunmin hesitated for a moment, pinched the piece of new bamboo with his index finger and thumb, and put it in front of his eyes to look at it.

His fingers were slender and white, and the emerald green bamboo knots were about the thickness of his little finger, and he still felt a little cramped in his sleeves, but now compared with the two, Mo Shuoyue felt that this bamboo knot seemed short.

"Are the cuts at both ends too flat?" She said.

He put the bamboo knot down and nodded in agreement, "This cut is not like a knife and axe, it is more like,"

"With a sword."

The two of them spoke in unison, both stunned for a moment, and then looked at each other and smiled.

"And this person is skilled in swordsmanship, and he can do it neatly with a sword, without the slightest sign of hesitation. However, swords are usually only used as weapons, and ordinary craftsmen do not use swords. Mo Shuoyue said.

Although she has never practiced swordsmanship, she has still seen some sword wounds and sword marks in handling cases over the years, and it is not difficult to identify.

Li Yunmin thought for a moment and asked, "Are you suspicious that this section of Hsinchu is replacing the original one?" ”

Mo Shuoyue shook her head slowly, "It can only be said that there is such a conjecture, after all, it is too obvious." ”

"You don't seem to have asked about this case all along."

"I thought the prince wasn't going to say it." Mo Shuoyue smiled, with a little smugness in her smile, "If the Accord has gone away, I can probably clarify the beginning and end of this case." On the way there, I suddenly figured out something, if I hadn't mentioned it at the time, the prince would have proposed to let me go, right? ”

Li Yunmin glanced at her, did not answer, leaned on the soft pillow, as if waiting for her next words.

"In fact, before entering the house, I heard you say that Jia Shixiang was not taking drugs and self-cutting, and there was a picture in my mind that he was not committing suicide, but was disguised as suicide. Then Mrs. Jia also mentioned that what happened when her husband was alone in the tea room. Add a few more strange touches to this picture. What's more, Jingzhao Mansion is meticulous, judging from the signs they left at the scene, plus that picture, I can roughly deduce the process of Jia Shixiang's poisoning and death. ”

Maybe it's a talent, or maybe it's just because of the experience accumulated over the years of handling cases, every time she hears about a case, there will always be a corresponding picture in her mind, which is not delicate and accurate at first, but as she investigates deeply, it becomes clearer and clearer.

While taking away the physical evidence, Jingzhao Mansion also drew corresponding signs and marked them with sequences.

Mo Shuoyue could roughly guess that the closest thing to the bamboo pipe she took away was a water bladder that filtered the sand and gravel, the second was the copper kettle for boiling tea, and the others were all kinds of tea utensils, about tea spoons, tea bowls, etc., what the specific objects were, or you need to see them on the spot to know.

The physical evidence that Jingzhao Mansion took the lead should have been poisoned, and it is speculated in this direction that Jia Shixiang was poisoned to death when he was cooking and drinking tea alone.

Mo Shuoyue's gaze fell on the hsinchu on the small table again, in fact, according to her inference, there was a reasonable conjecture:

The poison is most likely to be in a bamboo pipe, so that it will flow with the water to the water bladder and the copper kettle.

But she actually secretly tested this small bamboo pipe, which is non-toxic.

Could it be that this bamboo pipe has really been replaced? Where is the original one?

But with such obvious hands and feet, why didn't the people of Jingzhao Mansion find out.

"By the way, I have always forgotten to ask, does the prince know what kind of poison it is?"

Li Yunmin, who had been silent, finally said unhurriedly: "I don't know." ”

"Huh?"

He seemed to like Mo Shuoyue's dazed and stunned expression, and after looking at it for a long time, the corners of his lips unconsciously raised a trace of arc, "Jingzhao Mansion has tested it, and it is arsenic." ”

"Oh, it seems that the prince doesn't believe in Jingzhao Mansion's pretenses." Mo Shuoyue rarely caught the meaning he was hiding in his words.

She hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The Jia Lin clan claims to be the daughter of a merchant, and said that she grew up in Kyoto since she was a child. But...... I don't know if it's because I'm thinking too much, but I always feel that something is wrong with her reaction. Speaking of which,"

Mo Shuoyue looked at Li Yunmin, "I remember, she said that the prince had saved her in danger, when and where did you see her?" ”
