Han Tiexin opened Wang Kui's mouth, and lowered his head to look carefully. This action caused Xiao Fengling's discomfort, and a nauseating feeling rushed into his chest. It took him a lot of effort to suppress this nauseating feeling , I was wondering what was wrong with me. I have seen countless dead people in these years, and some of them are more terrifying than Wang Kui's death. Why do I feel sick today? I saw Han Tiexin take out a small wooden one from his sleeve. The tweezers penetrated into Wang Kui's mouth, moved a few times, and pulled out a vegetable leaf that remained in his teeth.

Seeing this, Xiao Fengling couldn't take it anymore, turned around and walked out of the mourning hall quickly, leaned against an old locust tree, clutched her chest and retched a few times, vomiting out all the little dry food she ate on the way.

"Master! What's the matter with you?" Haitang chased after him, looked at Xiao Fengling who was vomiting continuously under the tree, and hurried over to help him with his back.

"No...cough cough...it's okay..." Although Xiao Fengling felt her stomach churning, she still stubbornly straightened her back, wiped her mouth and turned to ask Han Tiexin, "What did you find?"

"It's hard to say right now, but I think there will be an answer soon. I need one night." Han Tiexin replied.

"Okay, I'll give you the night." Wang Yu said, "I hope you can give me a satisfactory answer tomorrow."

Wang Yu arranged a residence for Xiao Fengling and his party, and because Han Tiexin was Xiao Fengling's "wife of the leader", he was naturally arranged in the same room as him.

Back in the room, Xiao Fengling lay on the bed, closed his eyes and kept silent. Firstly, the nausea didn't ease much, secondly, he suddenly felt that he didn't know how to face Han Tiexin.

He didn't hear the sound for a long time, Xiao Fengling carefully narrowed his eyes into a slit, in the slit he saw Han Tiexin sitting in front of the table very seriously, he didn't know what he was doing, he was wondering, suddenly Han Tiexin raised his head and looked to his side , Xiao Fengling hurriedly closed her eyes in shock.

After another long time without hearing any sound, just when Xiao Fengling was about to open his eyes to look again, he heard the sound of a chair moving, and the sound of light footsteps approaching him from far to near, Xiao Fengling's mind surged inexplicably. Feeling nervous, he closed his eyes even tighter.

"So you're already awake." Han Tiexin looked at Xiao Fengling's eyeballs rolling under his eyelids, and said with a light smile, "Why didn't you talk when you woke up? Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"

Seeing that he had already seen through Xiao Fengling, if he pretended to be guilty, he simply opened his eyes generously, and sat up with his hands on the bed.

"Don't you really need to go and see? Your face is ugly." Looking at Xiao Fengling's pale face, Han Tiexin asked with a frown.

"It's okay." Xiao Fengling said so, feeling very puzzled in her heart, the nausea that appeared in her chest seemed to be different from when the poison of the stamen of the dragon essence broke out, but he was not in the mood to find out what was wrong. Similarly, who is the murderer who killed Wang Kui in front of him is Xiao Fengling's biggest worry.

Xiao Fengling raised her finger and pointed to the bottles and jars on the table, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "What did you find?"

"I suspect that Wang Kui's fatal wound was not the sword in the throat, but poisoning." Han Tiexin said seriously.

"Poisoned?" Xiao Fengling asked, "How can you see it?"

Han Tiexin said: "Wang Kui's room is in a mess, but there is not a single sword mark left on the furniture. Don't you think this is strange?"

Xiao Fengling nodded and said: "That's right, this may be a trick deliberately set up to deceive people."

"There is another possibility." Han Tiexin said, "Wang Kui knocked down the table and chairs due to painful struggle when he was poisoned."

Xiao Fengling squinted her eyes and thought for a while, then said: "The possibility of what you said is true. But according to what you said, since the murderer has already poisoned Wang Kui, why does he still have to compete with him and kill him?" How did you escape after that?"

"Judging from the time Wang Yu said, the murderer didn't have time to compete with Wang Kui at all." Han Tiexin said, "Of course, the possibility of him lying cannot be ruled out."

"Then how do you explain the wound on Wang Kui's body?" Xiao Fengling asked again.

"This is the key to my suspicion that he was poisoned." Han Tiexin pulled Xiao Fengling to the table, and Xiao Fengling saw the pale crimson liquid in the porcelain bowl in the middle of the table, and the piece that Han Tiexin took out from Wang Kui's mouth The vegetable leaves were quietly soaked in the crimson liquid.

"This is?"

"Golden camellia." Han Tiexin explained, "The petals are highly poisonous. According to records, they can be ground into a colorless and odorless tea, killing people invisible."

"Since it is colorless and odorless, you are so sure that Wang Kui is infected with this kind of poison?" Xiao Fengling was not very convinced by the reason given by Han Tiexin.

Han Tiexin chuckled: "Colorless and odorless is just a record in the book. Master likes all kinds of flowers and plants, and once raised this kind of flower when he was in Snow Valley. Although it is colorless and odorless to us, it is still very harmful to some insects." big difference.

"insect?"

Han Tiexin pointed to the vegetable leaves in the bowl and said, "If Wang Kui really died from the poison of the golden camellia, the food left in his mouth will definitely be contaminated with the taste of the golden camellia."

"But we can't smell it." Xiao Fengling interrupted him.

"But insects can do it."

At this moment, a few bees flew in from the window and lingered over the bowl for a long time.

"Here, insects that can smell the fragrance of flowers have arrived." Han Tiexin said.

"bee?"

"They are jade falling bees." Han Tiexin said, "They specialize in collecting the flowers and rice of golden camellia."

"So Wang Kui was indeed poisoned with golden camellia." Xiao Fengling said, "But you still haven't explained why the murderer has already poisoned Wang Kui, and he still has to compete with him, and then how he escaped."

"As long as it can be proved that Wang Kui was poisoned by the golden camellia, the rest of the problems can be easily solved." Han Tiexin said with a smile, "The poison of golden camellia has a characteristic, that is, it can quickly dehydrate the body of the poisoned person, and the skin will also be damaged quickly. The body loses moisture and ages, and the whole person seems to be air-dried. Under such circumstances, even the most ordinary bumps, the body of the poisoned person will have marks similar to being stabbed by a sharp weapon. This is why there are everywhere in the room There are no sword marks, only on Wang Kui's body, and those wounds were caused by bumping into the furniture placed in the room when he was struggling violently."

"Then the wound on his throat..." Xiao Fengling's face turned serious, "It's very likely that it was stabbed after Wang Kui's death. The purpose is to make people think that the murderer is me?"

Han Tiexin nodded and said, "It's very possible. And judging from the blood on the ground, the murderer didn't attack Wang Kui immediately after Wang Kui's death, so he didn't shed a lot of blood on the ground."

Xiao Fengling suddenly realized: "Yes! He can lie in ambush first, and wait until Wang Yu finds Wang Kui's body and panics, and then puts a sword on his throat. So Wang Yu didn't see anyone running away, because at that time The murderer never escaped."

Han Tiexin nodded and said: "That person must have ambushed in the famous sword villa in advance, waiting for the opportunity to strike, and then take the opportunity to leave the villa after winning."

"The disciple who left Mingjian Villa after Wang Kui's death..." Xiao Fengling thought for a while and said, "Isn't it the person Wang Yu brought with me when he questioned my teacher?"
