There were too many people at the scene, all kinds of colors, and many people's faces were black, which was really hard to recognize.

Gu Rongrong was worried that Ah Lai would be taken advantage of by someone to destroy him.

While I was looking for it, I suddenly heard a cry of pain.

Gu Rongrong immediately turned around and saw a woman on the ground in the corner, with a broken sheet on her body, vaguely revealing the prison clothes underneath.

She walked over quickly, and the woman lowered her head to give herself the medicine, her shoes were gone, and the burns on her legs were the size of a fist, and the flesh was blurred, and it hurt to look at it.

She also had a few scratches on her arm, which were also very red and swollen.

Her hair was scattered and her face was black in several places, but Gu Rongrong still recognized that she was Ah Lai.

"Ahh

Ah Lai looked up and saw that it was Gu Rongrong, and said in surprise: "It's you?" ”

"Do you remember me?" Gu Rongrong squatted down and took the medicine box, "I'll give it to you." ”

"Don't dare to bother the nobles," Ah Lai whispered, "the slave and maid remember you, although you didn't talk much at that time, but standing there was very unusual. ”

Gu Rongrong said: "I'm also a prisoner, the same." Come on, it's inconvenient for you yourself. ”

While giving her medicine, Gu Rongrong asked, "What's the matter with the fire?" ”

"I don't know," Ah Lai shuddered, his face a little pale, and he was obviously palpitating.

"I was already asleep at that time, and suddenly I was woken up, and when I opened my eyes, I saw so thick smoke that I was frightened, and I quickly shouted for help, and the officials were also in chaos."

"But I don't know what happened at that time, many people seemed to be sleeping very deeply, and they didn't wake up for a long time," Ah said, tears rolling down uncontrollably, "so many people burned to death, I was so scared." ”

Gu Rongrong patted her gently: "You are safe now, don't be afraid." ”

"Are you close to Leng Yinyin and them?"

Ah Lai shook his head: "It's not close, their family is locked together, probably because we are afraid that we will be threatened by them, so we are not locked up with them." ”

"But," Ah Lai's tears flowed profusely, "Brother Liu Ping is also dead, and he is closer to them, probably because I am the first whistleblower, so he is the farthest away." ”

Gu Rongrong sighed, because she was the farthest, she could be regarded as having escaped.

"Did the fire start from them?"

"It should be, I don't know, I heard the officials say, it seems to be yes, after all, they are the most seriously burned."

Gu Rongrong nodded and gave her the medicine on her arm.

"Did anything special happen to you after you were imprisoned? For example, whether anyone has visited or not. ”

Ah Lai thought for a while: "It seems to be ...... Someone had seen it, but I was a little far away, and I could only hear it, but I couldn't see who it was. ”

"Hear what?"

"It seems to be Miss Hu, who followed the old lady to the other courtyard, Miss Hu."

Hu Xiao.

Gu Rongrong frowned slightly: Is it her?

"What else? Does anyone else have it? ”

"Others, I didn't find out again, and then I was too tired and fell asleep, maybe there were, but I didn't see it." Ah Lai lowered his head, "I'm sorry." ”

Gu Rongrong comforted: "It's not your fault, no need to apologize." ”

"Who brought you here?"

"It's the officials, and many people were brought here by the officials."

Gu Rongrong thought about it, Ah Lai's situation was special, and she wanted to talk to the person in charge to see if she could take care of Ah Lai alone.

"Don't move here, I'll come when I go."

"Yes."

Gu Rongrong turned around to find someone, but the servants came and went, and they were all in a hurry, and they really didn't know who was in charge for a while.

Just as he was hesitating, someone shouted: "Lord Thorn Shi has arrived, get out of the way!" ”

came just in time, Gu Rongrong was slightly happy in her heart, and hurried to meet her.

Xue Tingshi didn't take the carriage, but took a light sedan chair, quickly got off the sedan chair when he got to the place, and saw Gu Rongrong head-on.

"You're there too?"

Gu Rongrong whispered, "My lord, you came just in time, I have something I want to discuss with you." ”

"Please."

"That Yahuan named Ah Lai is now the only witness in Hu Yuncheng's case, can you ...... her?"

Before Gu Rongrong finished speaking, Xue Tingshi understood.

"Okay, yes, that's exactly what Xia Guan meant, this fire is no accident!" Xue Tingshi was also very angry, "If such an accident is spread out, let the imperial history know that the lower officials will be impeached and held accountable!" It's disgusting. ”

"The more this is the case, the more we can't mess up, have those corpses been properly disposed of?"

"It's all in the morgue, and there is currently a special person to take care of it, and it is precisely because of this that the lower officials came a little late, and it is really sad that so many people have been injured."

Thorn Shi's face was ugly, not only because of the people, but also because this matter was related to his political achievements.

Gu Rongrong was noncommittal, and was about to speak, when she suddenly heard Ah Lai say: "Go away, I won't drink!" ”

Gu Rongrong Huo Ran looked back and saw a figure running away from Ah Lai.

She hurriedly rushed to Ah Lai's side, and Thorn Shi hurriedly followed when she saw this.

Alai's front placket was wet with medicine, and there was an unpleasant smell of medicine, and there was a medicine bowl on the ground, and there was still residual medicine in the bowl.

Gu Rongrong picked up the bowl, and as soon as she touched it, the space was crazy and warned, which showed that there was a high poison in the medicine.

Sure enough, it came!

Alai was trembling, crying and saying: "Someone came just now, I thought he was from the hospital, and handed me a bowl of medicine for me to drink, but I smelled this medicine a little bad, and I felt that it must be very bitter, so I wanted to drink it again for a while, but when he saw that I didn't drink it, he wanted to force me to drink, and I felt that something was wrong......

"I was so frightened that I yelled, and he ran away for fear of alarming others."

Thorn Shi said angrily: "It's really unreasonable! Come on, block the streets, find this person! ”

"In addition, send her to the yamen, send someone to take care of her, and no one is allowed to approach."

"Yes."

The official behind the assassin stepped forward to escort Ah Lai.

"My lord, I'll go back with her, and take a look at those corpses by the way."

Thorn Shi frowned and said, "The corpse ...... It's horrible to describe, and it's okay not to look at it. ”

"It doesn't matter."

Gu Rongrong didn't care about this, and sent Ah back and forth to the yamen, she had an injury on her leg and couldn't walk fast, and she cried while walking.

"What does that person look like, do you see it clearly?"

Ah Lai thought for a while: "I didn't see it too clearly, I didn't care about it at the time, I just remembered ......"

She touched the right side of her cheek: "There seems to be a mole the size of a bean here." ”

Gu Rongrong didn't say much, most of the obvious features were fake.

There are many such cases, and the murderer will deliberately disguise and pretend to be an obvious feature, so that the witnesses can remember, and when the time comes, the person who solves the case will take this characteristic as the benchmark, but will ignore the others and take a big detour.

Let's ask, to do this kind of assassination, or in front of so many people, you should find someone who looks ordinary and is the least easy to remember.

Who would look for someone with a visible mole on their face that they can remember at a glance?

While speaking, he went to the yamen, Ah Lai saluted Gu Rongrong and was taken away, and Gu Rongrong walked outside the morgue.
