Magistrate Wu sneered and said nothing. Li Luo took a breath and said, "Of course you know what Mr. Wu and I are talking about. Before Miss Xuezhou died, she told us who the person who harmed her was."
"Who is it?" someone asked, then looked at Sesshu's open palm and said in confusion, "This... is just a ball of blood."
"The poison of Gelsemium can corrode bones and penetrate intestines. Girl Sesshu is really smart."
Some people were stunned and puzzled, but naturally some people saw the clues. Xue Zhou died with his eyes open and his eyes widened with anger before he died. But what he saw was not Mu Qingci, who was suspected by everyone as the murderer, but... the direction where the incense was blowing!
Li Luo took out a handkerchief from his arms, hesitated for a moment, and wiped away the blood on Xue Zhou's palm. Everyone gathered around him, and when someone heard a slight sigh, he started to make gestures with his hand, "Kou... do you owe me? Ah?"
! This is the beginning of Chui Zi!" Everyone was in an uproar, and countless eyes focused on Chui Xiang. Her delicate body trembled, and she shook her head in denial, but could not say a word.
So that's it. Magistrate Wu nodded secretly. This man's eyesight is extraordinary and he can penetrate people's hearts even more. He is indeed a talent. But when did he discover that there was a word for "blowing incense" in Sesshu's palm?
"However, this cannot be said to be the fault of Miss Chuixiang. She is the personal maid of Miss Sesshu, and she is sympathetic to her brothers. Why did she assassinate her young lady?" Someone defended Chuixiang. Chuixiang lowered his head and sobbed with an aggrieved look on his face.
Li Luo looked cold and responded calmly, "Now I have to ask Miss Chuixiang. Your lady treats you well, why did you kill her?"
"I didn't, you, you are such a mouthful!" She was blowing fragrance and her face was pale, her eyes were filled with tears, but she looked very pitiful.
"Just now, I and I have found out that the Gelsemium poison that Miss Sesshu was poisoned by did not come from Miss Mu's bottle of rouge, but was poisoned by someone else."
Everyone turned back to look at Wu Zuo who was hiding in the corner. Wu Zuo froze suddenly, his expression ugly. Li Luo's words seemed to be a lie. It was true that there was Gelsemium in his belly, but he didn't care whether the Gelsemium in Rouge could kill him.
I knew it, but I couldn't help but answer, so I had to bite the bullet and replied vaguely: "Gelsemium poison was indeed extracted from the body of the deceased."
Everyone exclaimed, their faces turned green and red, and they were panicked.
"Miss Sesshu has a distinguished status. As a woman, she is also a distinguished guest of the Incense Competition. Not everyone can get close to you. Besides you, who else can easily poison you?"
"Well, there are so many people at the incense competition, and I can't be by my side all the time. The lady was thirsty, and maybe she drank the tea that was brought to her, and then..."
"Oh, tea? How did you know that the tea is poisonous?" Li Luo looked at Chuixiang with a half-smile. He was stunned for a moment when he blew the incense, his face was extremely pale, and he was speechless. After entering the door, he asked the first question.
Where did Chuixiang's teacup go? This was a hint, which made Chuixiang think that the poisoning had been exposed, and let Wu Zhifu know about it, and she felt panic. Coupled with the word that suddenly appeared in the palm of her hand, it was enough to make her lose her mind and expose herself.
flaw.
Li Luo made a bet, and this time he got it right again. Sure enough, he mixed Gelsemium elegans into the tea, and just now he discovered that the teacup on the table seemed to be missing one. It seemed that his inference was correct.
Chuixiang rolled his eyes and screamed: "You asked me just now where the tea cup went. I thought it was...that's why you said tea."
These words are a bit unreasonable, but they barely make sense. Li Luo did not argue, smiled lightly, and continued: "There are people coming and going in Xiang Pavilion, and it is not easy to poison. If by chance, the poisoned tea is accidentally
Drinking it will cause other troubles, so the person who poisoned it must be the last person to serve tea to Miss Sesshu. There is no one else here except you, how dare you say that it has nothing to do with you? If it weren’t you, your lady
Why did he only look at you and no one else before he died? Why did he desperately write the word "blow" in the palm of his hand? "
"I...Miss...you..." Chuixiang had never encountered such a thing before. For a moment, he was confused and incoherent.
At this moment, a man stood up next to Chuixiang. He bowed his hands in a gentle manner and said in a gentle voice: "This time the Incense Competition, Miss Sesshu came to represent our Xie family. She suffered a disaster, and I am heartbroken.
It is our duty as the Xie family to find out the truth and find the murderer of Miss Sesshu. However, what you said is all speculation. It would be unfair to infer that Fukien was responsible for the murder just based on a vague scratch. Maybe Miss Sesshu was poisoned.
Later, when I was struggling, I accidentally cut my palm. The shape is similar. Furthermore, although Fuxiang is the closest person to Miss Sesshu, if it is true as you said, Miss Sesshu got poisoned after drinking the poisoned tea.
Death, anyone in the Incense Pavilion may have come into contact with that cup of tea, so it would be a bit arbitrary to conclude that the incense was poisoned." These words were well-founded, and naturally attracted many people to nod and say, "Why?"
It is said that they are all people from Yingxiu City, and they are all in the same spirit. Being criticized by a stranger can easily arouse everyone's hatred and hatred. If Wu Zhifu is not in the hall, they will attack him in groups.
"Are you from the Xie family?" Li Luo recognized him. It was this handsome young master from the Xie family in front of Xuezhou's mansion by the river.
"Thank you, Yulou." The man replied in a neither humble nor arrogant tone. After that, he glanced at Chuixiang and said harmoniously, "Chuixiang, don't panic. Say what you know. Don't lie. The magistrate has the final say. There is such a thing.
With multiple witnesses, no one can unjustly accuse you, but if it is you who poisoned me, it will be in vain that your young lady treats you with kindness."
Chuixiang hummed, his expression gradually softened, and he looked at Li Luo coldly. Li Luo secretly praised him, he didn't talk much, he just hit the mark, and it was just right, making it difficult for people to catch the clue, but he was able to calm Chuixiang.
Fragrant heart. If I wait a little longer, I'm afraid Fragrance will be unable to resist and reveal the truth.
Li Luo smiled faintly: "Sure enough, if you want to kill someone in public, you should do it perfectly. I'm afraid the teacup has disappeared long ago, but there are records on every tea set in Xiang Pavilion. One teacup and one teapot are missing.
, it is not difficult to find out." Magistrate Wu frowned. Although what he said did have some truth, it was just an inference after all, and there was no evidence. Even if a teacup was missing, it could not be confirmed that it must be the same as Chui.
The fact that the incense was related could at most only prove that someone was planning to poison Xue Zhou, but it could not be concluded that it was the incense that was responsible. Mu Qingci was only a little less suspicious, and it could not be said that she had nothing to do with the matter.
"Miss Sesshu was poisoned first and then applied rouge. The perpetrator killed first and then put the blame on her. Mr. Xie's words just now are reasonable and reasonable. Although the person who blows the incense is the easiest person to get it, the cup of tea may indeed be poisoned by someone else.
