However, there are rumors that someone once prepared the right amount of Gelsemium, but the recipe has been lost. No one in the fragrance market openly uses this substance anymore, but there are still many perfume makers who secretly intend to control Gelsemium in order to become a blockbuster.
"Has anyone touched this corpse?" Li Luo asked, and Lord Wu replied in a deep voice, "No, Wu Zuoshang has never come here."
Li Luo was silent for a few breaths and asked: "How can we conclude that she was poisoned by Gelsemium?"
"Many people died due to Gelsemium in Yingxiu City, and the government also recorded it. In addition, the incense makers in the incense market have heard about it, and many of them have stated that it is exactly the same as the death after Gelsemium poisoning."
"Is Gelsemium common?"
"It's not common. The Huizhou government has banned the buying and selling of Gelsemium. It's very rare on the market, but you can still find it if you're interested."
"Do you have Gelsemium in your hand?" Li Luo looked at Mu Qingci and asked. Mu Qingci nodded and said bluntly, "Yes."
"Where does it come from?"
Mu Qingci did not answer, so Mr. Wu interjected: "Someone from the Wang family identified it and specifically found this poisonous weed at Miss Mu's request."
Li Luo frowned: "What do you want it for?" Mu Qingci pursed her lips, showing stubbornness, which made him helpless. He sighed secretly, "Did you mix Gelsemium into the rouge?"
"No."
"Really?"
Mu Qingci's expression turned cold and she said word by word: "No!"
"Then where did the poison she received come from?"
Master Wu glanced at Mu Qingci, obviously not believing her words. Now Mu Qingci is the most suspected, and almost everyone in Yingxiu City knows that she and Xue Zhou are enemies and have been fighting for many years. Mu Qing
Ci is always better than Xue Zhou, but Xue Zhou has a close relationship with the four major aristocratic families, and his reputation is even better than that of Mu Qing Ci. No matter who gets into trouble between the two of them, the other one will definitely benefit the most.
Mr. Chen poked his head outside the door, Mr. Wu raised his eyebrows, but did not speak. Li Luo didn't even raise his head, "Sir Wu, don't worry about me." Mr. Wu then raised his voice and asked, "What's the matter?
"
"As far as I'm concerned, sir, the government office has arrived."
Master Wu glanced at Li Luo and shouted in a deep voice: "Send him in."
"Follow orders."
After a while, an old man over fifty years old walked in quickly, bowed to Mr. Wu who was sitting there, glanced at Li Luo and others, and said respectfully: "I have seen you in this humble position."
"Autopsy?" Mr. Wu looked at Li Luo. Li Luo stood up, moved away from Xue Zhou's body on the ground, and said calmly, "Let's do the autopsy."
Wu Zuo stepped forward and put down the wooden box he carried with him, and carefully inspected Sesshu's body. After a cup of tea, he stood up, considered for a moment, and said: "Master Wu, from the signs of poisoning on the deceased, it seems that he was poisoned by Gelsemium poison."
"Can we find out where the poison comes from?" Mr. Wu leaned forward slightly and asked attentively.
"This will take some time."
"There is no need to check. There must be traces of Gelsemium rouge in the rouge Miss Mu just made." Li Luo said lightly. Mr. Wu exclaimed in surprise, and Wu Zuo was also stunned. He looked around and scratched his head, "May I ask which bottle of rouge it is?"
Was it made by Miss Mu?"
Mu Qingci pointed to a white porcelain bottle, Wu Zuo quickly took it over, took out a few bottles and jars from the wooden box, poured out some powder, mixed it with water, and then carefully took out a little of the rouge from the white porcelain bottle and mixed it in. A few breaths
After that, the water showed a black and red color, and Wu Zuo took a breath of cold air and shouted in horror: "It's really Gelsemium!"
Lord Wu perked up, looked at Mu Qingci, and shouted coldly: "What else do you have to say!"
Mu Qingci frowned, as if she did not expect the situation to be like this. She opened her mouth, but was unable to argue. Xiaogu looked at her young lady with a worried look on her face, and murmured in a low voice: "She is not the young lady's opponent in the first place, young lady.
It's fine if you win her, why do you have to kill her..."
Although the voice was small, several people in the hall heard it, and Master Wu sneered: "This incense competition is right under my nose, but I heard that before the incense competition, Miss Sesshu will win.
Miss Mu has half a chip."
Mu Qingci brushed her hair from her temples, ignored Master Wu's sarcastic words, looked at Li Luo and smiled softly: "It seems like I was the one who poisoned you."
"Yes, they are indeed very similar."
"Do I have a reason for poisoning?"
"Do you think you have?"
Mu Qingci thought about it carefully and sighed: "I poisoned her deliberately, and I have to pay for her life. The gain is not worth the loss. The biggest possibility is that I refused to admit defeat, took the risk, and insisted on mixing Gelsemium into the rouge.
, I don’t want to use the wrong dose and kill her.”
"make sense."
"Who are you, who are you helping!?" Xiaogu was furious and stared at him fiercely. Li Luo smiled, "I can't help anyone, I can only help the truth."
Mu Qingci looked calm and curious, and asked: "How can I help?"
Li Luo turned to look at Wu Zuo and asked in harmony: "How long does it take for Gelsemium poison to kill a person?"
"This..." Wu Zuo glanced at Master Wu, who shouted, "Tell me everything you know!"
"Yes, sir." Wuzuo responded quickly and said in a deep voice, "Gelsemium is very poisonous. If it is used externally, the poison will develop in three or two days. If it is taken internally, it depends on the dosage. The longer the dose, the more likely it is.
An hour is so short that he will be poisoned and die in less than half an hour." After finishing speaking, he looked at Sesshu's body again and continued, "The lips of the deceased were black, the fundus of the eyes were congested, and the seven orifices were bleeding, and the bleeding was very heavy.
It should be taken orally, so it can last from half an hour to half an hour."
Li Luo fell into deep thought after hearing this. Lord Wu also calmed down at this moment and began to think about the murder case: "From the time when Miss Xue Zhou was poisoned, she was in Xiang Pavilion for half an hour, which means that she was poisoned here.
?”
"Sir, if that's the case, it shouldn't be wrong." Wu Zuo responded respectfully.
Mr. Wu was silent and looked at Li Luo expressionlessly. The case has now come to light. Mu Qingci has Gelsemium, and the rouge she made also contains Gelsemium, and she has always had a quarrel with Xue Zhou, even if she
It was unintentional, or at best he was eager to win, and he accidentally poisoned Sesshu, but he still inevitably ended up in jail.
There was a suffocating silence in the Xiang Pavilion. After a while, Mr. Wu coughed lightly: "Young knight, the matter has come to this, how do you want to stay? I am trying to persuade you. If you let it go, I will not pursue it.
You despise the laws of the court and hold me hostage, but if you still know the law and break the law, I can't help you even if you want."
Li Luo smiled, looked at Master Wu and said thank you. Master Wu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to call someone in, but heard Li Luo calmly say: "No rush." Master Wu's expression changed and his tone became stiff.
"What else do you want?" This chapter has been completed!
