557. The real murderer Chu Xiang'er
Early the next morning, Du Buyi contacted Su Zhutou with Zou Bin and Zhuo Ya, and asked him to take the three of them to visit the dyeing workshops in the city, and White Lotus and Mo Er went to Pishan to look for the blood of the lizard king.
After Du Buyi and a few people searched for two large dyeing workshops and found nothing, the three of them entered a red satin dyeing workshop.
As soon as the four of them entered the door, they were stopped by the owner of the dyeing workshop:
"What are you doing here?"
Su Zhutou took out his token and showed it to the owner of the dyeing workshop:
"I cooperated with Du Tanhua to investigate a murder case of poisoning. ”
The owner of the dyeing workshop immediately replied:
"Su Zhutou, you should go to the pharmacy to investigate the murder case, how can you come to our dyeing workshop to investigate?"
At this time, Du Yi, who was blinded with a black cloth in his eyes, did not forget to say:
"Because we found that the soles of the shoes of the people who poisoned us were glued to the steel of your dyeing workshop, we came to your dyeing workshop to search, and I hope you can cooperate with us!"
After looking at Du Cheng, the owner of the dyeing workshop said to himself:
"There are too many people in this world who impersonate Du Tanhua, how can a lame and blind person be Du Tanhua?"
Then he asked:
"Then Su Zhutou and Du Tanhua, how do you want me to cooperate with you?"
Du Cheng said:
"I hope that Boss Zhao, you will first call someone to gather all the servants in your dyeing workshop now, and no one is missing. ”
This Boss Zhao asked:
"Are men, women, and children all going to be assembled?"
Du did not forget to reply:
"Children under the age of 14 don't have to, everyone else has to come. ”
Boss Zhao replied:
"Okay!"
Then he said to a busy maid:
"Except for the two children, go and call all the people in our dyeing workshop, and say that it is my boss Zhao's meaning. ”
After a while, twenty men, women, and children came over. Boss Zhao asked them to stand in two long lines in front of Su Zhutou and Du Bucheng.
Zou Bin searched these people at the beginning, first of all, he naturally glanced at the faces and figures of these people, and after sifting through them, Zou Bin picked out two middle-aged men and a tall young woman with similar figures.
At this time, Zou Bin motioned to the three of them to take off the shoes on their left feet and let themselves check them, and the two middle-aged men quickly took them off, but the woman was unwilling:
"Take off your shoes and show you old men, I can't do it, although my husband is gone, but I still want to be honorable!"
Su Zhutou walked over and said:
"Don't you even obey our orders?"
The woman replied:
"It's not disobedience, I want you people to respect me!"
Zoya came over and said to the woman:
"Since you don't want to show them, it's okay for me to come and see them, right?"
The woman looked at Zhuoya as well:
"Okay, but I'll just show you one!"
Zoya asked everyone to turn around and motioned for the woman to start taking off her shoes.
Unexpectedly, the woman took off her shoes and took them off, so she sprinkled a ball of powder on Zhuo Ya and took the opportunity to run behind.
As a result, the woman had just run two steps when she seemed to have been hit by a hidden weapon and fell to the ground.
Zou Bin saw the opportunity and hurriedly rushed over, directly restrained the woman, and then looked at the soles of her shoes, and sure enough, the soles were exactly the same as those of the old man who sold dates.
Zou Bin then grabbed the woman by the neck and brought her back to Du Buzhi, and said:
"Du Gongzi, the person who poisoned us is this woman. ”
Du did not forget to ask the woman angrily at this time.
"Who are you, what do I have a deep hatred for you, why do you hurt me so much?"
The woman closed her eyes at this time and played hard:
"Since it has fallen into your hands, then kill it if you want to, I have nothing to say. ”
Du did not forget to say to Su Zhutou on the side:
"I hope Su Zhutou will forgive me, this woman has to let us take it away for interrogation first, because one of us has been poisoned by her!"
Su Zhutou said:
"Okay, I know, then I'll take my leave!"
Du Bu said:
"Thank you, Su Zhutou!"
Then he said to Zhuoya on the side:
"Zhuoya, you ask Boss Zhao to take you to search this woman's room first!"
Zoya nodded:
"Okay!"
After a while, Zhuo Ya really searched out a set of old man's clothes that Zou Bin saw from the woman's room, and after Du Buyi touched the clothes, he said with a wry smile:
"Sure enough, it's you, let's take her away!"
Not long after, the men returned to the inn and began to interrogate the woman again, and after the three of them took turns to cross-examine her, the woman finally spoke again:
"I, Chu Xiang'er, just don't like it, you don't forget, what's wrong with wanting to poison you? I'm happy when I see you dying now, I'm happy, I'm happy. ”
Du did not forget a wry smile:
"This Chu Xiang'er girl, I think there must be a reason why you hate me so much, right?"
Chu Xiang'er laughed:
"Haha...... Ha ha...... Yes, because the prince promised me, as long as I can kill you, I will be the princess in the future!"
Du was not surprised:
"Could it be that you're talking about Zhu Chenmu?"
Chu Xiang'er replied:
"Why should I tell you? I don't know!"
Du Cheng Cheng said:
"Okay, I got it!"
Then he said to Zou Bin and Zhuo Ya on the side:
"I don't think I need to ask her, you can kill her for me, if she has any last words to write down!"
When Zou Bin and Zhuo Ya were about to escort this Chu Xiang'er out, they were stopped by Du Buyi:
"Wait, aren't you really afraid of death?"
Chu Xiang'er replied:
"What can I do if I'm afraid of death? After all, I've poisoned one of your women, and now I see that there are three more women around you who have been poisoned by me, I'm afraid the other two have already died of poison, right? Wouldn't it be good for me to send a few more women to accompany you to the Netherworld to be your companion? I tell you that almost no one can solve my poisonous king. ”
Don't forget to smile:
"Well, you vicious woman, you will also be a scourge in the future!"
Then he said to Zou Bin and Zhuo Ya:
"Don't be merciful, send her on her way. ”
After a while, after Zou Bin and Zhuo Ya solved this Chu Xiang'er, they came back, and at this time, they saw that the black cloth on Du Buyi's eyes had been wet with tears.
Zhuo Ya hurriedly tore off the black cloth for Du Yi, wiped her tears, and persuaded:
"Brother Du, you don't have to be so sad, life and death are fateful, even if I, Bai Girl, Mo Er and the three of us die of poison, we don't want to see Brother Du like you. ”
Du didn't forget to stop his tears and gently grabbed Zhuo Ya's hand:
"Zhuoya, even if the three of you really leave, I won't live alone, I just cried because I remembered Qi'er, after all, Qi'er was poisoned by my own hands, if I hadn't wanted to buy peaches for him to eat on a whim, I'm afraid she wouldn't have left me like that. ”
Zhuoya smiled lightly:
"After all, Brother Du, you are also kind, if you want to blame it, you can only blame Chu Xiang'er, but now that she is dead, it can be regarded as revenge for Miss Qi'er. ”
Du did not forget to ask:
"Didn't she say anything?"
Zhuoya replied:
"No, this is a crazy woman, and when she died, she kept thinking about that prince, prince!"
Du Cheng said:
"Then let's wait for Ling'er and Mo'er to come back now, and hope that they can find the Lizard King to retrieve his blood. ”
And on a hill on the Bishan Mountain in the north of Luoyang City, Mo Er was pointing to a small hole and said to the White Lotus:
"Sister Bai...... Sister White...... Sister Bai, come here!"
The White Lotus immediately ran over with a bunch of freshly picked wildflowers from the side, looked at the hole that Mo Er pointed to and said:
"Sister Mo'er, could it be that you have found the trace of the Lizard King?"
Mo Er pulled the white lotus and squatted down, pointed to the new soil that had just been touched in front of the cave entrance, and said:
"Sister Bai, you see that this mark looks like a hole made by a lizard, let's use our sword to gouge it!"
After speaking, the two hurriedly took their swords and slashed down the hole.
It was until the sun was shining, and at this time the two women had already sweated and carved out a large hole that could accommodate a person, and the small hole just now seemed to be still stretching downward.
At this time, the White Lotus stopped panting and said:
"Sister Mo'er, this hole is too deep, I don't think it's a big deal for us to dig like this!"
Mo Er wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead:
"But I see that this hole is obviously planed by a lizard, and the size of the hole is likely to be the hole planed by the lizard king!"
The White Lotus said:
"We two girls can't dig their heads if they dig like this, why don't we spend money and ask a few men to come and help?"
Mo Er smiled:
"Yes, I almost forgot, so let's go find someone nearby!"
So the two of them came to the nearest village, and happened to meet a middle-aged man who had just returned from the field with a hoe, and the white lotus immediately ran over to stop the man:
"Big brother, can you do me a favor?"
After the middle-aged man glanced at the White Lotus, he immediately made a detour to leave, but Mo Er ran over and stopped the middle-aged man:
"What are you leaving? Didn't you hear my sister Bai talking to you just now?"
The middle-aged man glanced at Mo Er and said timidly:
"Girl, I know that you are good-looking and want to rob me of the hammer, but my mother told me that good-looking girls are monsters, and you are so good-looking, you must have practiced for many years, right?"
When Mo Er heard this, he covered his mouth and laughed, and said to the white lotus on the side:
"Sister Bai, you see that this stupid big man actually said that we are monsters, this is the first time I have met such a person!"
The man looked at the white lotus again and said to Mo Er:
"Girl, aren't you really a monster who wants to eat people?"
The White Lotus came over and said:
"Of course not, if we're really monsters, do you still have the life to talk here?"
Mo Er also said:
"That's it, just like you, and say that we robbed you of the hammer, and the monster robbery is also the hammer of the beautiful man!"
The man touched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly:
"Looks like you're right!"
The White Lotus smiled at the man:
"Okay, this big brother won't talk nonsense with you, we want you to help us find a few powerful men in the village and dig a hole in the mountain over there!"
After speaking, he pointed to the hill that the two of them had dug just now.
The man glanced in the direction of the hill and immediately waved his hand:
"We don't dare to go there, it's been haunted lately, and several people in our village have disappeared near the top of that hill. ”
White Lotus hurriedly asked again:
"What the hell is going on, how did they go missing?"
The man spoke.
It turned out that a few months ago, a father and son went to the hill to graze cattle, but neither of them came back that night, and then three villagers took the man's wife to look for them the next day, and the four went and there was no news.
For a time, the news spread all over the surrounding towns, so a few strong and hunting men in several villages gathered together, ready to go to the mountain to search for the missing people before, but the search of the entire mountain did not find the bones of the six people.
So one night, the four hunters decided to try again in the night, but the four able-bodied hunters went and did not return, so that no one dared to come near the hill again.
