The place where Qian Youliang was killed was on the second floor of the inn where he lived, in his own room. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The first person to find the body was Xiao Er, who was in charge of bringing tea to the guests at the inn.

Xiao Er said that he was originally going to add tea at the request of the guest, but as soon as he arrived at the door, he heard the sound of a broken teacup from inside, and no one answered when he knocked on the door, and the door was locked.

Xiao Er felt that the situation was not right, so he slammed the door open, and then saw a scene that was enough to make people frightened.

I saw Qian Youliang tied his hands and feet with thick iron chains, hanging on the beams of the house.

There was a hole in his chest, and blood was pouring out of it, dripping onto the ground......

After everyone listened to Xiao Er's description of the situation when the body was found, Chen Yutian suddenly frowned slightly.

Immediately, his eyes fell on the scene that had been blocked by the officials.

There, the corpse of Qian Youliang, which had been hanging, had been put down, and the old man from Baishan County was conducting a joint autopsy.

Chen Yutian touched his chin and walked into the scene.

In the room, except for a pool of blood where the body was hanged, there were almost no traces of the crime.

The doors and windows of the room were also locked at the time of the crime.

It can be said that this is another case of murder in a closed room!!

Chen Yutian smiled bitterly.

It seems that since he left the capital to go to Lingshui County to investigate the tiger painting murder case, most of the murders investigated have been from the secret room murder case......

Could it be that he is particularly related to the murder case in the closed room?

Chen Yutian thought wildly and came to the corpse.

Qian Youliang's appearance at the moment does look a little scary.

Although the iron chains on its limbs have been removed at this moment, they have left extremely obvious marks on its wrists and ankles.

Moreover, his face was pale, and his expression was even more distorted, and it seemed that he had suffered a great deal of pain before he died.

Also, someone who gouged out his heart alive, this kind of thing, whoever is replaced, will be so painful......

Chen Yutian frowned and thought of something else.

Qian Youliang's way of dying is exactly the same as the statue of heavenly punishment "digging out the heart" seen in the ghost temple!

Could it be that the murderer who committed the murder this time is the same person who committed the two murders before?

It's not impossible.

Because, the death of the deceased in these three murders is almost exactly the same as the heavenly punishment sculpture seen in the ghost temple!

It is certain that the murderer should be imitating those heavenly punishment sculptures to kill!

It's just, what is going on with those heavenly punishment sculptures and the ghost temple?

Why did they suddenly disappear into thin air?

This point, Chen Yutian couldn't figure it out.

Still, he can at least be sure.

The ghost temple could never disappear out of thin air, and the reason why it couldn't be found was only because someone used a very ingenious method to hide it!

Chen Yutian's gaze inadvertently swept around the deceased's corpse, and then, his expression suddenly moved, and a word slowly spat out from his mouth.

"Huh?"

His gaze then froze on the place not far from Qian Youliang's corpse.

"It's ......"

There, it was originally the place where the money was hanging, but at this moment, Chen Yutian found that there was a bloodstained silver ingot in the position not far away.

Yes, a blood-stained silver ingot!

It lay quietly in a pool of blood, half of which had already been stained with the blood dripping from the money.

However, what attracted Chen Yutian's attention was not the silver ingot itself.

At the bottom of this silver ingot, there is something that looks like a stamp, and this thing is what really attracts Chen Yutian's attention.

As we all know, there is generally no such thing as a stamp on the general silver ingot.

Those with seals, generally speaking, are official silver.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of official silver is rarely circulated in the market, because this kind of silver is usually distributed directly from the state treasury to the local government or the army, and will not be circulated in the market.

Therefore, Chen Yutian was so shocked when he saw the blood-stained official silver left at the scene!

After all, it is impossible for the official bank to appear in the outside world casually.

Why did this official silver appear at the scene of this murder?

Is it a coincidence? or ...... In order to convey some kind of unknown message?

This point, Chen Yutian does not know.

After a stick of incense, Gongsun and Lao Qizuo finally completed the preliminary autopsy.

After that, Gongsun came to the fragments of the broken teacup.

He carefully looked at the scattered debris on the ground, and then frowned slightly.

Chen Yutian also noticed these fragments, and he felt that these fragments were a little strange.

Generally speaking, broken teacups should be scattered around, but although these pieces are also scattered, there are some strange scratches on the bottom of several pieces.

Gongsun took out a silver needle from his bosom and pierced it on one of the fragments of the teacup, on which there were still some tea droplets.

Then, a moment later, he picked up the silver needle.

Chen Yutian's eyes suddenly flashed slightly!

I saw the tip of the silver needle, and it quickly turned black!!

"Tea is poisonous!!" Chen Yutian's mind flashed these four words almost immediately.

"Could it be that Qian Youliang was not killed by digging out his heart, but by poisoning?"

Gongsun nodded slightly, then picked up the teapot on the table and poured some tea into a teacup.

Then, he took out a silver needle and inserted it into the tea.

After a while, the silver needle was taken out, but the silver needle was unchanged.

"No poison?!" Chen Yutian looked at the teacup, a little strange.

Why is it that only the tea in the teacup is poisonous, but the tea in the teapot is not poisonous?

If Qian Youliang was really poisoned, then the poison in him should be in this teapot, why is the tea in the teapot non-toxic?

"Isn't it ......"

Chen Yutian stared at the teacup, and a snowy light suddenly flashed in his eyes!

"Could it be...... That's ......."

"But if that's the case, how can that trace be explained?"

Chen Yutian narrowed his eyes slightly.

......

......

"The cause of death of the deceased was not death from heart plucking, but death from severe poison in the body!"

The old servant came to Bai Fan and reported the autopsy to Bai Fan.

During this period, Bai Fan had already gathered all the tenants on this floor to an empty room next to him and inquired in detail.

Nothing came of it.

The time of death deduced by Lao Zuo and Gongsun was around noon, and at that time, almost all the tenants were downstairs having lunch, and there was no time to commit the crime.

Therefore, it is certain that the murderer was not an insider of this inn, but an outsider.

However, it was a meal at that time, and there were a lot of outsiders who came to the inn to eat, so it was not certain who killed someone.

"You said that the deceased actually died of poisoning?" After listening to the report made by the old man, Bai Fan was a little strange.

Xuan Xi on the side was also a little surprised.

I didn't expect Qian Youliang to die not because of digging out his heart, but because he was poisoned, which is really a bit unexpected.

"Yes, at first we thought he had been killed by gouging out his heart, but then we found out that his body had a poisoning reaction, and the same poisoning reaction was found on the broken teacup, so the deceased should have died of poisoning. The old man said.

Bai Fan nodded.

"But there's one thing that's weird. Gongsun said.

Bai Fan looked at Gongsun, "What's strange?"

"We detected a poison reaction on the teacup, but we didn't detect any poison in the teapot on the table. The old man spoke.

"There isn't any poison in the teapot?" Bai Fan was surprised and groaned slightly.

"Could it be because the poison is not in the tea at all, but is smeared on the inside of the teacup, in this case, as long as the deceased pours water into the teacup, it will be poisoned......" Xuan Xi thought for a while and said.

"But ......"

Gongsun looked at the tray on the table in the room, where there were four teacups, including the one that had been broken.

"How can the murderer be sure that the deceased will get the teacup that is smeared with poison? After all, the deceased took the teacup at random. ”

Probably, he smeared poison on all four teacups. Xuan Xi said.

Gongsun shook his head.

"When the students were testing whether the tea in the teapot was poisonous, they poured it into a teacup for testing, and the teacup was not poisonous. ”

"That's right, and, according to Xuan Xi's inference, those scratches on the ground can't be explained......"

Chen Yutian finally spoke at this time.

Bai Fan saw that he had been walking around the scene, so he asked him, "What did Brother Chen find at the scene?"

Chen Yutian smiled slightly, and then showed the official silver.

"I was near the corpse and found this ......"
