The next morning, Xiao Ma came over to inform Shen Qin that he had made a new discovery. It turned out that Xiao Lan accidentally found a small jade bottle in the bed of Qiu Shuiyuan's residence, which contained a spicy liquid. Everyone hurriedly took the liquid After verification, it was found that the mice kicked their legs after drinking it and it was highly poisonous.

With everyone watching, Shen Qin picked up the bottle stained with soil and put it to his nose and smelled it. He frowned slightly but said nothing.

The manager asked with a confused look on his face: "If Qiu Shui was really responsible for this case, how did she poison her?"

Xiao Ma thought for a moment, then patted his head, "I understand, it must have gone into the ointment."

The steward retorted: "Hasn't the ointment been checked? It's not poisonous."

Xiao Ma immediately said: "You forgot, the ointment in the young master's room is not poisonous. The other ointment only has an empty bottle left, so there is no way to check the poison. Qiu Shui must have mixed the poison into his own ointment and applied it to the young master. Apply poison, then take the poisonous ointment away and hollow it out to avoid suspicion.”

The manager nodded: "It is indeed feasible."

Xiao Ma sighed: "I have heard Qiu Shui say a long time ago that she hates the Major General, but I didn't expect that she would do such a wrong thing."

After hearing this, everyone felt that what Xiao Ma said was reasonable.

At this moment, there was a noise at the door. Yelu Lie had returned home. Everyone rushed forward and informed Yelu Lie of Xiao Ma's reasoning. After hearing this, Yelu Lie said angrily: "If she really did it, This general is really cheap to this cheap girl!"

After saying that, he looked at Shen Qin and asked, "But it's a bit too coincidental. What do you think?"

Shen Qin said: "Instead of guessing, it's better to practice. There are very few poisons that can kill through the skin. Xu wants to test it with living people to see if the poison can kill people when applied externally."

Yelulie was stunned for a moment and sneered: "Verify it with a living person? This statement is not in line with your usual style, isn't it?"

Shen Qin smiled faintly, "Xu has the best candidate. Yesterday Xu helped the general to catch a thief. The manager wanted to execute her according to the family rules and chop off her hands. The general is merciful and would rather die than let her live in the future. It's better to use her as an experiment and let her live, and her death will be God's will."

Yelulie thought for a moment and agreed to Shen Qin's proposal.

Two hours later, Shen Qin brought Xiao Ma back and reported to Yelu Lie, saying that he asked the nun in the mansion to mix the venom into the ointment and apply it all over Xiao Zi's lower body. Xiao Zi felt nothing except a slight numbness in her tongue. Finally, Shen Qin concluded to Yelu Lie: "It seems that the ointment was not the cause of Lingzi's death, but someone wanted to blame the murder on the dead Qiu Shui."

After hearing this, Yelulie sneered and said, "You were serious about your investigation, but it's still a mess with no clue."

Shen Qin smiled disapprovingly and said: "That's not necessarily true. Someone used venom to cover up the crime, which means that the young general did not die of illness. And the composition of the venom was something Xu just thought of."

Yelulie asked curiously: "What is it?"

Shen Qin replied: "The thing that can numb people's tongues should be Scutellaria baicalensis. If it is used externally and the area is not large, it is difficult to poison people. But if it is put into tea Boil it, and wonderful things will happen.”

Yelulie became interested and leaned forward, "Continue talking."

Shen Qin said: "When boiled for a short period of time, the poison of Caowu is produced, which can kill people. If it is cooked for a while, the poison of Caowu will be greatly weakened. At that time, even if you feed the mice with tea, they will not die. It can really kill people." invisible."

Xiao Ma thought, "Is it a disappearing poison? I seem to understand. If Mrs. Jiang is the murderer, she can put Caowu liquid in the scented tea, and when drinking it with the Major General, pretend to accidentally drop the cup, so that The major general took the poison alone, and then she let the scented tea continue to boil on the charcoal stove to let the poison of the grasshopper weaken on its own, so of course we couldn't detect the poison!"

Shen Qin couldn't help but admire Xiao Ma and said: "Smart. I heard from the supervisor that Xiaolan was brought in by Mrs. Jiang. She listens to Mrs. Jiang very much. It shouldn't be difficult to get her to tell a lie."

"This is unreasonable!" After hearing this, Yelulie slapped the armrest and said to Xiao Ma: "Bring Jiang and Xiaolan over, I want to personally interrogate them!"

However, Shen Qin gave some advice: "General, please don't alarm the snake yet. This is just inference and has no evidence. Besides, Xiaolan's house is unlocked and everyone can come in and out. I'm afraid nothing can be found in the investigation. Please find a reason tomorrow, General." Take Mrs. Jiang away, I will take Pony to search her house quietly. If we can find the venom, we can confirm her crime."

Yelulie nodded, "Let's do it!"

Shen Qin asked cautiously: "What about Xiao Zi..."

Yelu Lie looked at Shen Qin's expression and suddenly smiled, "Xiao Zi is quite pretty. If you can find out about this case, I will give you this lowly maid, and you can do with it as you like."

Shen Qin looked happy and bowed, "Thank you, General."

Yelu Lie quickly calmed down and warned with a straight face: "Don't forget you only have one day. If the murderer is not found again, you will be the one to watch."

……

……

The next morning, the general sent Mrs. Jiang out as planned. Then, the general manager led two followers, Shen Qin, Xiao Ma and others to search Mrs. Jiang's house.

Not long after, Xiao Ma came out of the east room with a cyan medicine bottle and said excitedly: "I found a bottle of unknown liquid hidden under the bed. I smelled it specifically. It smelled exactly the same as the bottle yesterday."

"Really?" Shen Qin took it, looked at it, handed it to the attendant next to the manager, and confirmed to him: "Is this the bottle?"

The attendant took the bottle and looked at it for a moment, then replied: "This is the bottle."

Xiao Ma let out a long breath, "Finally we found the real culprit who killed the young master."

"That's natural!" Shen Qin nodded slightly in agreement, and then winked at the manager.

The manager understood, put on a straight face, and ordered his followers: "Why don't you take down the real culprit quickly?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone rushed forward and quickly captured the unresponsive pony.

In the lobby, Yelu Lie, who was sitting on a high chair, saw everyone walking in with their ponies tied up, and his face was full of confusion.

"Didn't you go to Jiang's house to search for evidence? Why did you kidnap him here?"

Shen Qin replied: "He is the real murderer. Only the real murderer would be afraid of the truth being exposed and want to cover up the crime and put the blame on others."

Then, with Shen Qin's understanding, the steward's entourage explained to Yelu Lie: "Yesterday afternoon, Xu Ya visited me and ordered me to closely monitor Xiao Ma's whereabouts. I found that he secretly went out in the evening and went to a drugstore. It took a long time to come out. After that, I went into a traditional Chinese medicine store to inquire. The owner said that Xiao Ma asked him to boil Erliang Caowu water in a bottle for him. The owner questioned him about the dosage being too high. He said that he had rheumatism and leg pain, so he only took this medicine. For external use, after that, the shop owner gave me the same green bottle.”

After that, the attendant took out a green bottle from his inner pocket, which was exactly the same as what Xiao Ma found in Mrs. Jiang's room.

Xiao Ma defended loudly: "I am not the murderer! I was just afraid of being suspected by you and forced to frame Mrs. Jiang. The bottle in the little blue room was definitely not put by me. I swear to God!"

Shen Qin smiled slightly, "I put that bottle in. I made it up to deceive the real murderer."

Xiao Ma was stunned. After a moment, he smiled sadly and said, "So you have been acting in front of me. You have already doubted me, haven't you?"

Shen Qin said frankly: "Yes, you must think that I feel the pulse to find the murderer just to deceive the real murderer, but you don't know that I can really feel the emotions. In your pulse, there is anger, hatred, tension, There is fear, but there is no sadness at the death of the major general."

Xiao Ma gritted his teeth and said, "Yes! I am angry, angry at the injustice of the sky, and I hate, hate you, the superior exploiters!"

Then, he stared at Yelulie with his bloody eyes.

"If I hadn't had the chance, I would have killed you father and son together!"

Yelulie was very angry when he heard this. He picked up the big ax and was about to split it in half. Shen Qin stopped him and said, "General, don't be impulsive. We haven't found out the person behind the scenes yet."

However, Xiao Ma's face was filled with tears and he said with a sneer, "I am not an instigator. One person does the work and the other takes responsibility!"

After saying that, he moved his mouth vigorously, as if he had bitten something, rolled his eyes, and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Shen Qin hurriedly stepped forward and touched the pony's neck, only to find that he had bitten the poison sac and committed suicide.

Shen Qin sighed: "It seems that he has been prepared."

As he spoke, he began to search Xiao Ma.

Only then did Yelu Lie react and scolded Shen Qin: "It turns out that you were the one responsible for the poison before. You already knew that the poison wouldn't kill anyone, yet you even fooled me!"

Shen Qin apologized and replied: "General, please calm down. In order to solve the case, I had to do it as a last resort. The general said that he should let Xiao Zi go, but it must be counted."

Yelulie couldn't help but smile bitterly for a moment, and suddenly seemed to remember something, "Tell me, how did Xiaoma get poisoned?"

Shen Qin said, "Xu speculated that he took advantage of the young general's unpreparedness, mixed the poison pills with the water pills, and handed them to the young general. This resulted in a few more pills left, but he was very smart and managed to deal with it. We have obtained the evidence of the crime and let the number of pills remain as usual. As for the poison, it is impossible for us to find it because it has been taken by the major general, so we can only cheat."

While speaking, Shen Qin pulled out a peace charm from Xiao Ma's arms. The symbols drawn on it were winding and a little weird.

After Yelulie took a closer look, he said: "I recognize this as the peace talisman of the mountain temple. People in the Liao people don't believe this, but the Blackwater tribe believes in it. Could it be that the instigator behind it is related to the Blackwater tribe? How dare they murder my son! This general will never show mercy!"

The Chief Superintendent said: "There are so many tribes in the Blackwater Tribe. It may not be easy to find the person behind the scenes."

When Yelulie heard this, he looked at Shen Qin with complicated eyes and said after a long while.

"Since you helped me find the real murderer, I will fulfill my promise and tell you my true identity."
