Shen Ningning couldn't believe what he heard.

She looked at Qi Xiuwei in amazement, crying in front of her and breaking down, hatred and tears filled Qi Xiuwei's eyes.

Xu was afraid that she would suddenly hurt someone, but Xie Ming'an had already walked in front of Shen Ningning quietly.

Completely protected his sister behind him.

Master Qi's face was complicated, and he stared at his daughter: "You...... You're really ruthless. ”

Mrs. Qi cried and rushed over and hugged Qi Xiuwei.

"It wasn't her who did it, it was me, I did everything."

Lord Qi was annoyed: "Shut up! Even now, you still have to protect her, and it is precisely because you don't teach her well that you let the child make a big mistake! ”

In terms of blood relationship, Mrs. Qi is Qi Xiuwei's grandmother.

In the laws of Cangyun Kingdom, killing relatives within three generations, especially elders, is a serious crime, with exile at least and beheading!

Qi Xiuwei choked with tears, and her eyes were a little empty and numb.

"Dad, you usually see it, you know how my grandmother oppressed me and my mother."

"If I let her wake up, she will continue to force me to marry someone I don't like, and after she got sick, I felt that life was so free and beautiful."

"Don't worry about saying the wrong word or showing an inappropriate look, it will be exchanged for beating and scolding, and don't worry anymore, if I refuse to make friends with any powerful family, I will be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall."

Qi Xiuwei muttered, tears sliding down.

"How sick she is, and how much more smiles her mother has."

Lord Qi was anxious: "Then you can't kill anyone!" ”

"I didn't!" Qi Xiuwei roared out, her eyes bloodshot and red.

She looked at her hands, but she couldn't convince herself.

"I didn't want her life, I just wanted her not to get better so quickly, but why is this happening......"

Shen Ningning looked at the back of his second brother, tilted his head slightly, and saw that on Qi Xiuwei's palm, the wound from the tiger's mouth had turned into a hideous scar.

For a while, the girl said that she was not distressed, it was fake.

She watched her friends struggle to save themselves in such a family.

Qi Xiuwei just wanted a happy and peaceful life too much, so she was forced to be helpless and chose such a radical way.

After being discovered, she didn't quibble too much.

Next, Xie Ming'an asked something, and she answered.

Qi Xiuwei has been drugging Old Madam Qi for a while.

She was very cautious, she just wanted Old Madam Qi to be unconscious, so she controlled the amount every time.

It stands to reason that she has been doing it for so long, and there is no reason why she would suddenly give the wrong dose and cause the death of Old Madam Qi.

Xie Ming'an looked at the mother and daughter in the room, crying together, and Lord Qi next to him, who was pale.

He said lightly: "You should know that the lily of the valley frost is a highly poisonous poison, even if you put a little bit of it, it will accumulate over the years, and it will become something that kills people." ”

"But you are sure to be right about one thing, you are not the main culprit in her death."

Qi Xiuwei's crying voice paused, and she raised her head, a little surprised.

"What do you mean?"

Xie Ming'an smiled: "I mean, the person who wants Old Madam Qi to die is not you, although you poisoned her, but this is only the superficial reason." ”

"Before that, I have a few questions that I want to ask Master Qi."

Shen Ningning saw his second brother's fierce gaze, and suddenly turned to Lord Qi on the side.

She was slightly stunned, and even Qi Xiuwei frowned in confusion.

Master Qi's face turned pale and pursed the corners of his lips.

"Master Xie, what do you mean by this, are you suspicious of me?"

Xie Ming'an sneered, calm and relaxed, his eyes were as black as a fox, and his belly was black.

"Routine inquiry, you are one of the family members who have been in contact with the deceased, I should investigate them one by one, this is the process, you can't be weak-hearted, right?"

In a word, it completely angered Lord Qi: "What kind of heart do I have, she is my mother, I can still kill her!" ”

Xie Ming'an walked to the corpse, his eyes became cold: "Do you have it, the corpse can speak." ”

As he spoke, he began to ask.

"Judging by the degree of the corpse, the time of death should be within four hours, and according to the speed of poison death, even if the maximum dose of lily of the valley cream is swallowed, it will take about two hours from swallowing to death."

Calculate the time, that is, early in the morning, when the sky was dark, someone gave Mrs. Qi something to eat.

In order to avoid trouble, Xie Ming'an directly said what he had just checked.

"Before I just came in, I casually asked your maid here in the courtyard, Mrs. Qi takes medicine every day for three hours in the morning, noon and evening, and uses it once each."

"According to this situation, there must be something wrong with the medicine I took in the morning."

Lord Qi was a little irritable: "Then you will call all the people who cook and deliver the medicine over to investigate thoroughly, wouldn't it be good?" Ask me what I'm doing, I've been busy at the government last night and haven't been back. ”

"Not necessarily." Xie Ming'an smiled.

He pointed to Lord Qi's shoes: "Last night, there was heavy dew, and it rained for a while, and Lord Qi, the soles of your shoes are clean, you must have never gone out." ”

Lord Qi looked down, and his face suddenly darkened.

Xie Ming'an said again: "But I found something more interesting, why is there a wine stain on your sleeve?" ”

Shen Ningning looked at Lord Qi's cuffs, and saw that the inside of the very inconspicuous cuffs was really brown.

If you don't pay close attention, you won't find it.

She began to look at her second brother with admiration.

No wonder he was reused by the emperor's uncle, the world said that there was no case that Xie Ming'an could not solve.

Looking at the subtlety of his observations, you know that he is really powerful.

Mrs. Qi was puzzled, and then she reacted.

"Yes, Xianggong, why are you still wearing the clothes that accompanied Wei'er to the banquet in Su Mansion at that time?"

If it weren't for Xie Ming'an's reminder, she wouldn't have reacted.

Lord Qi really didn't go home last night, and sent the little servant back to pass the word, saying that he was going to be busy in the public office.

However, even if he doesn't come back, there is a room in the public office where Lord Qi has clean clothes to change when needed.

Xie Ming'an raised his eyebrows: "It turns out that Lord Qi also went to Su Mansion?" ”

Shen Ningning was surprised: "I didn't notice it." ”

I only heard Qi Xiuwei frowning and recalled: "But as soon as I arrived in Su Mansion yesterday, my father said that there was something urgent and left in a hurry." ”

Xie Ming'an smiled, his eyes were gloomy: "Is it really gone, or is it hidden in the shadows to facilitate action, Lord Qi, what do you think?" ”

He hugged his arms: "No wonder I think it's strange, Caiyun, a loyal servant, why did he suddenly betray his master, and he can't say that he still suffered, and chose to commit suicide, it seems that he was bought by you, a bigger master, right?" ”

Lord Qi's face turned pale: "Xie Ming'an! You don't want to spew blood! Although you are older than me in terms of official position, in terms of seniority, I am your elder, and I am only one year older than your father, so you dare to talk to me like this. ”

Xie Ming'an's handsome face was cold.

He sneered with thin lips: "Give you some face, you really treat yourself as a dish, if it weren't for my sister's face, you would be a suspect now, and the official will interrogate you to Dali Temple, and torture is not a problem." ”

"Are you using age to press me? Amusing! The prisoners who were brought to justice by this official are older than you, and now they are all going to Naihe Bridge to drink soup, how old are you! ”

After that, he took out the token, the imperial decree of Dali Temple was issued by the emperor.

Seeing this token is equivalent to seeing the emperor himself.

"The suspect listens to the order, follow me back to Dali Temple to confess his guilt and surrender to the law, if he resists, he will bear the consequences."

Violating the imperial decree is tantamount to rebellion.

Generally, no matter how big the crime is, they don't dare to move when they see the token.

However, when Lord Qi saw him take out the imperial order, his face changed in shock, and then he suddenly pounced on Shen Ningning.

He actually took out a dagger hidden in his sleeve!

Mrs. Qi screamed, and Qi Xiuwei hurriedly blocked in front of Shen Ningning.

"Daddy! Don't do that! ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Lord Qi's heart was crossed, he raised his hand and pushed Qi Xiuwei aside.

The sharp blade sliced through Qi Xiuwei's palm.

He fell down with Shen Ningning.

"Dangchang" made a crisp sound, and the jade ring on Shen Ningning's body fell out.

It's the piece that Xiumu gave them.

The blood in Qi Xiuwei's palm spread out, stained with the jade ring. (End of chapter)
