After looking at it, Di Xue turned her head to look for Zhou Huai, only to see him sitting with his head drooping.

The people next to him all stayed away from him, and some wealthy businessmen in the market were still whispering.

"I heard that the son of this metropolitan governor is not a good stubble, and he was sued by the farmers to Shuntian Mansion a few days ago!"

"I know what you said, isn't it that the farmer surnamed Wang said that he stole wheat, he is so valuable, he would do such a thing!"

"What you said was a long time ago, what I'm going to say is that three days ago, this week Huai was accused of Shuntian Mansion again!"

"And this?"

"Yes, this time it was all the farmers in his family's new land who jointly filed a complaint, saying that Zhou Huai not only overcharged the rent, but also sent someone to cut all the wheat from all their families."

"Evidence was also found for these farmers, someone claimed that the Zhou family housekeeper went to the grain store to sell the wheat, and the Zhou family housekeeper was Xu Lai!"

"Could it be that Xu Lai was really killed by Zhou Huai?"

The discussion of the people around became more and more intense, and the voices became louder and louder, Zhou Huai's face turned red when he heard it, and he wanted to refute it several times, but he tried his best to suppress it.

Di Xue couldn't stand it, so she cleared her throat and saluted Prince Heng and said:

"Please also ask the prince to close the mansion and stay the guests temporarily, and no one in the mansion is allowed to enter or leave!"

"This is natural, this case happened in my house, I will definitely fully cooperate, Master Di, you don't need to worry about concentrating on solving the case, I will arrange other matters properly."

As soon as Prince Heng's words came out, the scene suddenly quieted down, firstly, he did not dare to refute, and secondly, he began to worry about his own situation.

Then, under the narration of Gonggong Jiang and the head of the drama troupe Zhao, Di Xue knew what had happened......

The dead female actor is called Xu Yiyan, not from the troupe, but from the Red Sleeve Building.

Jin Qiao, who was supposed to be on stage, had a serious illness two days ago and couldn't go on stage, so she introduced her good sister Xu Yiyan of the Red Sleeve Building and temporarily replaced her.

Fortunately, the rehearsal went smoothly, Xu Yiyan was bought into the red-sleeved building since she was a child, and she had a good voice, so she didn't delay the performance.

Xu Yiyan has to play twice in this scene, and after the beginning ends, the second scene will be played in less than half a stick of incense.

In the middle, I have to go backstage to change into another costume, and I have to take the prop sword to perform a scene with a negative man.

Later in the play, she was heartbroken and pulled out her sword to kill herself, originally Xu Yiyan's sword was not bladed, and fake blood could flow out by flipping the mechanism, which looked like a real suicide.

However, today is Chu Ran's birthday, and it is not suitable to see blood, so there is no fake blood in the sword, which is why Zhao Ban Master found the abnormality as soon as he saw that there was blood on Xu Yiyan's neck!

Di Xue saw that Chu Ran was listening seriously, so she said her thoughts out loud:

"This prop sword was deliberately replaced with a real sword, as for Xu Yiyan himself or someone else, it will be an autopsy."

Chu Ran nodded: "It's not appropriate to go out of the house to get your tools now, so I can only grieve you to pick and choose in my medicine box for a while." ”

"That's it, but since you have a special identity and practice medicine under a pseudonym, it's best not to expose it in front of these people, and wait for the body to be carried into the chamber, and then you can follow me for an autopsy."

Di Xue thought for a moment, and then expressed her concerns.

Chu Ran heard Di Xue's heart flush with warmth slightly, and just wanted to say something of thanks, but found that Di Xue had already rushed to the stage to look at the corpse!

Xu Yiyan's body fell in the center of the stage, with his head facing the guest seat, and there was a neatly cut wound on the left side of his neck, and the bleeding was not large.

The "suicide" sword fell on his right hand, Di Xue frowned slightly, and there was a trace of speculation in his heart.

When I turned my head, I saw a male actor sitting in the corner of the stage playing against Xu Yiyan.

After finding that Di Xue was looking at herself, Zhang Huaizhi hurriedly wiped the sweat on her face, and the oil paint also rubbed off a few points, but the exposed skin was also slightly pale.

"Your Excellency!"

After Zhang Huaizhi got up and saluted, Di Xue was not polite, and directly said the request:

"Can you please re-enact the scene at that time, just treat me as Xu Yiyan."

After speaking, Di Xue shook his waist, but found that it was empty, and then he remembered that he handed over his weapon when he entered the mansion!

Father-in-law Jiang was a discerning person, so he hurriedly ordered the little servant to take it, and Di Xue drew his sword.

Zhang Huaizhi hurriedly picked up his spear, confronted Di Xue, and after feeding each other a few moves, Di Xue put the sword horizontally on his neck.

Zhang Huaizhi hurriedly used the tip of the spear to stop it, but he pounced!

After putting down the sword, Di Xue looked at Zhang Huaizhi's spear thoughtfully.

Seeing this, Chu Ran asked, "But what's wrong?" ”

"No, it's just that I have some doubts, you can order someone to carry the corpse."

After Di Xue finished speaking, he once again took the real sword that Xu Yiyan committed suicide in his hand and looked at it carefully.

The overall body of the sword is hard, slightly narrower than ordinary swords, and the blood on the sword is a little shallow, is it ......

"Ah~ the corpse is cheating!" An exclamation came.

Di Xue hurriedly rushed to the side room, only to see that the little guy had been paralyzed by fright.

Looking down at the corpse, Di Xue immediately took off the silver needle from her head and prepared to test the poison.

At this time, Chu Ran blocked it in time and shook his head gently:

"This is your personal belonging, and I have determined that this poison is dissolved by blood! The crooked fingers of the corpse were straightened by the edema caused by the poison, and at this moment, he happened to see it and thought it was a corpse! ”

"Could it be that she committed suicide by taking poison?" The little guy was explained by Chu Ran and came back to his senses.

Di Xue put the silver needle back down, constantly deducing the doubts she saw in her mind, and subconsciously blurted out when she heard the little girl's words: "She didn't commit suicide!"

As soon as these words came out, all the people present took a breath of cool air, not only shocked by Di Xue's quick decision.

It was even more shocking who dared to commit murder under the nose of Prince Taishi Heng!

Although Chu Ran was surprised, he didn't react as much as others, after all, he had seen Di Xue solve the unsolved case in Dali Temple in five hours.

At the same time, he also believed that Di Xue would not have said this if he was not sure.

Gonggong Jiang reacted quickly and said with a smile on his face: "Master Di, what evidence do you have, if you have your orders, Prince Heng's Mansion will definitely not let go of the perpetrators!" ”

Di Xue heard the voice of Gonggong Jiang's words and realized that she had a gaffe just now, so she explained:

"The blood in Xu Yiyan's body melts, this poison is violent, if it enters the body from the blood, it will be poisoned almost instantly, and the poisoned person will show a form of edema all over the body."

"But I obviously saw her kill herself on stage." The little guy scratched his head a little puzzled.

"She does look like she killed herself, but the wound on her neck isn't deep enough to be fatal!" Di Xue said.

"You mean that this prop sword is stained with blood and melts, and the poison enters the body after the sword cuts through the skin, causing death?" Chu Ran immediately understood the meaning of Di Xue's words!

"But that doesn't prove that she didn't commit suicide?" The little guy asked rhetorically.

Di Xue picked up the note found on Xu Yiyan and said:

"Although the words on the note are crooked, the pen is clear, and it is not something that Xu Yiyan, who was sent to the Red Sleeve Building since he was a child, can write."

Di Xue paused, and said with a serious expression:

"And who have you ever seen who wants to kill himself would try to seduce the powerful on stage?"

"Ahem!" Prince Heng cleared his throat in embarrassment, and then said:

"If this woman didn't commit suicide, then who the murderer was, can Master Di know?"

Di Xue arched her hand:

"Xia Guan knows who the murderer is, but this person's motive and the method of hiding the murder weapon are not clear, and they need to be investigated, and they will be explained to you after a stick of incense!"
