Chapter 96: Confession and suicide
Ruhui Shitai said and spoke, she didn't seem to feel very comfortable, frowned slightly, and reflexively wanted to drink water, but there was no water in the cup in front of her.
There was no teapot on the table and no one in the room. I didn't treat them as guests today, and I didn't prepare anything.
Ye Caitang had some pity for Mrs. Ruhui, she got up and said, "I'll pour a glass of water." ”
As he spoke, Ye Caitang picked up the empty cup on the table.
Isn't Su Nian still outside, and she doesn't boil some hot water for Master? Monks practice hardship, and they can't toss themselves like this.
Ye Caitang got up and walked out, Xia Yue didn't stop him, but after glancing at Xie Zhi, Xie Zhi understood, and went out to accompany him.
"Let's go on." Xia Yue said: "How did you leave Liji Town and come here?" ”
Ruhui smiled: "My lord, it's not easy for an ugly person to be beautiful, and a beautiful person wants to be ugly, as long as you're not afraid of being dirty, isn't it easy?" ”
Xia Yue was speechless.
Ruhui said it too realistically, too bluntly.
For example, Master Hui has been practicing in seclusion in Nanshan for many years, Xia Yue has inquired, and the reputation is very good, and he has done many good things, so he can be regarded as a great good person. But these good deeds are obviously not enough to offset the bloodstains on his hands back then.
Whether those people are good or bad, whether they deserve to die or not, this is not for her to decide. To kill is to kill, and you have 11,000 reasons to kill as well.
In her own heart, she must have understood.
Ye Caitang walked out of the room with a cup, and when he looked around, the Buddhist hall was on the other side, but the kitchen was closer.
The kitchen is a room alone in the yard, and when I came here in the middle of the night sneakily before, Ye Caitang went in to see it. There are only very simple cooking utensils and firewood, rice, oil and salt, some vegetarian dishes, and there is no meat at all.
When I go in today, I see that it is still the same.
The cold pot and cold stove seem to be more clean than before.
Ye Caitang lifted the lid of the pot and looked at it, the pot was empty and clean. There are also a few scattered firewood and grass left on the side.
There was still some rice in the basket, as well as a few fallen vegetables, as if the host knew that he would never come back and packed everything up.
Xie Zhi couldn't help but sigh and said, "It seems that Master Ruhui has everything planned. ”
It's just that no one has found out, and once it is discovered, this identity cannot be hidden. Since Xia Yue has found the door, even if he can't find evidence for a while, he will not give up.
If you can hide from today, you can't hide from tomorrow, and the things of the past will be opened up sooner or later.
Ye Caitang also sighed, and said while watching: "Some people really don't deserve to live, but you can't do anything about them, someone does the right thing for heaven...... You're going to catch them......"
This has been the case throughout the ages, Ye Caitang has seen too many such things, and he can't tell the right and wrong in black and white.
She was looking down into the hearth.
I don't know what I have to look for, but I just get used to it, and when I go to the suspect's house, I always have to look at all the places where I might be hiding.
Seeing this, Ye Caitang sighed.
"What's wrong?" Xie Zhi hurriedly came over.
Ye Caitang squatted down and reached out to touch it: "There is a wrapping paper ......"
In this era, there are no plastic boxes and plastic bags, many things are wrapped in oiled paper, and in the meditation nunnery, the life of the two of them is the simplest and most primitive state, almost isolated from the world, except for some necessary daily necessities, the others are made by themselves, where to get a piece of oiled paper outside.
What is this oiled paper for?
Ye Caitang didn't care about rubbing the ashes on his sleeve and took the paper out of the ashes.
The ashes in the stove were already cold, and there was no residual warmth at all, so it was clear that there was no fire today.
And this piece of paper was only stuffed in today, and there was no trace of burning at all, it was about to be convenient, when Ye Caitang was at home in the past, if there was anything that could be burned, it was also stuffed into the stove.
Ye Caitang turned over the paper and saw that there was still a little white powder on it
"What is this?" Ye Caitang dipped a little with his fingers, and sniffed it closely, there was no smell.
"I'll see." Xie Zhi took it.
Handing the paper to Xie Zhi, Ye Caitang picked up the cup on the table again: "Let's go and ask Su Nian." ”
Maybe there is water in other houses, even if Mrs. Hui knows that Xia Yue will come, it is impossible to accurately calculate that she will come today, if she doesn't come, she can't starve herself to death.
Ye Caitang picked up the cup and glanced at it by the way.
The light in the room was dim just now, but now I am standing at the door of the kitchen, and the light is beautiful and clear.
She vaguely felt that there was something in the little water left under the cup.
Isn't this a cup of tea, there is something at the bottom of the cup except one or two sticky tea leaves?
Ye Caitang simply poured the little water left in the cup into his hand.
In the palm of his hand, along with the water, was some white powder that looked like unmelted powder.
Ye Caitang chuckled in his heart, and suddenly said, "I know, it's too bad......"
Ye Caitang rushed out as he spoke, Xie Zhi was startled, he was still thinking about whether to try it, and when he saw Ye Caitang running away, he hurriedly followed.
"My lord, my lord......" Ye Caitang rushed into the room, put the cup on the table, and looked at Mrs. Ruhui: "She wants to commit suicide!" ”
Xia Yue was stunned, and Mrs. Ruhui was also stunned.
Xie Zhi also followed, still holding the wrapping paper in his hand.
"There's arsenic in the water she just drank." Ye Caitang said, and suddenly his face changed: "Su Nian ......"
Xie Zhi also reacted immediately, he stood on the outside, went out on the most side, and immediately turned around and went out.
Soon, Xie Zhi returned, shaking his head with a gloomy face.
Su Nian is dead, dying of suicide by poisoning. Fell silently in the blessing hall.
Ruhui Shitai was not surprised, nor was she sad, she shook it and said in a low voice: "Lord Xia, if you can, please ...... Bury our master and apprentice here. I've long since dissipated the money, and now I can pay it back. ”
After speaking, Ruhui Shitai fell.
The death was exactly the same as that of Liu Shengyang, who was poisoned in front of Lu Qingyu's grave that day.
From the day she was discovered, she had already decided to die. Even Su Nian, he has no desire to survive, so he can be so decisive and die in front of Xia Yue.
Since the world is hell, what is there to fear when you go to hell?
is dead, and the past is gone.
Right and wrong, how to judge, the government and the court can't control it, and it will all belong to the king of the underworld.
Xia Yue looked at Ruhui for a long time, obviously not expecting today.
After many years, although it is suspected that Ruhui Shitai is the murderer of the fairy back then, no one has any empirical evidence, just relying on the scar on the arm, which is too far-fetched and can only be regarded as a suspicion.
He was ready to investigate this case for a while, and finally he might have to go to Liji Town, but he didn't expect that the murderer would be punished without much effort.
Success came too quickly, and something unreal.
