Dongdu Pavilion Case Record

"Let's go to Dali Temple to see the physical evidence and the corpse first." Tang Wuyi got up and said, "Especially the physical evidence, I don't know if there is any evidence left of the realgar wine that brother drank before his death."

"Do you think General Tang died of poisoning?" Wen Tao said.

"Everything was normal for my elder brother before, and I really can't think of other possible reasons."

Wen Tao heard the words, thoughtful, but did not comment, the two first went to Dali Temple.With the gold medal in hand, the entry went smoothly, and the officials of Dali Temple handed them the keys of the morgue and evidence room.Tang Wuyi was so concerned about the cause of Tang Jingxiao's death that he went to the evidence room first.Tang Jingxiao brought all the cups, plates and leftovers from Tang Jingxiao's table at the Dragon Boat Festival yesterday. They were all handed down by people from Dali Temple, and his hands and feet were very clean.

Tang Wuyi brought a full set of crafting tools, and saw the wine glass that Tang Wuyi drank in the physical evidence at a glance. He remembered clearly that Tang Jingxiao's wine was bestowed by Yan Wang Li Xu himself.He took a look at it with a handkerchief, and there was some realgar wine at the bottom of the cup. He was overjoyed, and quickly tested it with a silver needle. After waiting for a while, the silver needle did not change color.Tang Wuyi showed a disappointed look on his face, but Wen Tao seemed to be expecting it.

"You guessed it a long time ago?" Tang Wuyi asked.

Wen Tao nodded: "It would be too obvious to put poison in the wine. There was no realgar wine at the Dragon Boat Festival yesterday. His Majesty gave the wine because of the lack of interest in General Qiu's affairs. Everyone who handled it He is His Majesty's confidant, so it is difficult to poison him temporarily. Moreover, His Majesty and King Yan each bestowed half of the officials in the Linde Palace, if the murderer poisoned the wine, how would he ensure that the poisoned glass was given to General Tang?"

"What if the person who was poisoned was the one who gave the wine?" Tang Wuyi asked suddenly.

"You doubt King Yan?" Wen Tao frowned.

Tang Wuyi lowered his voice: "Last night I kept thinking that although King Yan has always been kind to the Tang family, I have never seen through him. He is His Majesty's younger brother. When His Majesty ascended the throne, he In the palace, he should have contributed to His Majesty's ascension to the throne."

"According to what you said, both General Tang and King Yan were in His Majesty's camp when His Majesty ascended the throne. Why are they killing each other now?" Wen Tao was puzzled.

"Unless..." Tang Wuyi said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Your Majesty's position is not right."

Wen Tao instantly understood that if Li Shu's ascension to the throne was a huge conspiracy, as long as there was even a slight possibility of it being exposed, all those who knew it would have to die, otherwise it would be a subversion of the regime.

"Could it be..." Wen Tao blurted out, but immediately shut his mouth. If he could do this, who else could it be except Li Shu himself?But if Li Shu did it, why did he agree to Tang Wuyi to investigate the case?

Both fell into deep thought.

After a while, Wen Tao still broke the silence: "Let's investigate the case first."

Tang Wuyi nodded, and used silver needles to test all the tableware, wine vessels and leftover food in the evidence room, and as expected, they were not poisonous.Tang Wuyi sighed softly, and went to the morgue with Wen Tao one after the other.

Because Tang Wuyi was right in front of him, Wen Tao couldn't bear to disembowel Tang Jingxiao in front of him, so he subconsciously walked in the direction of Zhao Er's corpse.But Tang Wuyi stopped him: "Test my elder brother first, I want to know." Tang Jingxiao's body was still wearing an official uniform, Wen Tao first tried his mouth, nose and throat with a silver medal, and there was no change in color.

"There is no sign of inhaling poisonous gas or taking poison." Wen Tao said briefly.

"Then my elder brother died of poisoning?" Tang Wuyi asked doubtfully.

"I still need to look at the internal organs." Wen Tao said as he expertly cut open the corpse to examine the internal organs.Tang Wuyi turned his head away and waited with his hands behind his back.

After more than an hour, Wen Tao finally let out a sigh of relief, Tang Wuyi hurriedly asked: "How is it?"

"The viscera are basically the same, but the color of the liver is different."

"What do you mean?"

"Before he died, he was poisoned, it seems to be the poison of cinnabar." Wen Tao said seriously.

"What?" Tang Wuyi was shocked, "How could my elder brother be poisoned by cinnabar?"

Wen Tao shook his head: "Being poisoned by cinnabar will not kill you immediately, but will accumulate toxins in your body. People who are poisoned will feel unwell and their physical fitness will decline."

"Accumulating toxins..." Tang Wuyi muttered to himself, "It must be something that the eldest brother comes into contact with every day, the general's mansion, or in the Shence barracks?"

Wen Tao still shook his head: "If the poisoner destroys the evidence, there will be no way to investigate." He paused for a while and said, "Look at Zhao Er again." After finishing speaking, he checked Zhao Er again with skilled techniques.

Zhao Er was beaten to death by Qiu Jian in the hall, and his chest was bruised.Wen Tao cut open his chest, checked his frown carefully, and said, "Strange, although the punch was heavy, it didn't hurt the heart and lungs, and the bleeding wasn't too much, so it shouldn't die on the spot."

Hearing the words, Tang Wuyi came over to take a look, and saw that the color of Zhao Er's lips seemed to be more purple-black than that of ordinary corpses, so he said, "Check for poison."

Wen Tao was as good as he was, and the silver medal had just been put into Zhao Er's mouth, and it turned black after a short while.

Zhao Er was actually poisoned!

Wen Tao quickly checked Zhao Er's throat and stomach, and there were signs of poisoning!

"What kind of poison is it? Is it the same as my elder brother?" Tang Wuyi asked eagerly.

"I need to take it back for testing. My uncle left me with various test poisons in my bag, but judging from the degree of damage to the stomach and internal organs, it is highly poisonous and different from your elder brother's." Wen Tao said firmly.

"This is too bizarre." Tang Wuyi said, "I thought that Zhao Er who was beaten to death was poisoned to death. It seems that the elder brother who was poisoned to death has an unknown cause of death, and was poisoned with cinnabar..." The autopsy results came out Unexpectedly, Tang Wuyi was in a panic at this moment, pacing back and forth in the room, and suddenly said, "If Zhao Er was poisoned to death, wouldn't Qiu Jian be wronged?"

Wen Tao nodded: "When I go back and find out the source of the poison, as long as it is highly poisonous and it is confirmed that it is the cause of Zhao Er's death, then General Qiu should be innocent."

"In this case, you go back to the drug test first, I'll wait for you here. I was going to interrogate Qiu Jian, if he is innocent, my entire interrogation direction will be changed." Tang Wuyi said.

"Okay." Wen Tao agreed, "General Qiu still has to ask a good question. He must know something to react so strongly to that "Double Dragon Seizing the Pearl". If he didn't kill Zhao Er The murderer, then you must try your best to ask him how much inside information he knows."

Tang Wuyi bit his lips: "Yesterday was when he was drunk, and today he is sober, so he probably won't reveal too much."

"Give it a try." Wen Tao smiled at Tang Wuyi, "You are the King of the Eastern Capital Pavilion, there is nothing you can't ask."

From yesterday to today, Tang Wuyi's chest has been pressed by a big rock. First, his eldest brother was killed, and then he and Wen Tao were attacked. Only now did he feel a little better when he saw Wen Tao's smile. And he walked hand in hand with himself.
