Queen's Detective

It sounds incredible that Fang Zhihan poisoned himself.How can a child who is only five or six years old do this?

But the words came from Yan Sanbai's mouth, so people have to believe it.

After eating, the three returned to Dali Temple. As soon as they arrived at the door, they saw Zhang Yan standing at the door and looking around. When they found them coming, they came out immediately.

"My lord Yan! My lord!" Zhang Yan first saw Li Yan holding a child, and wondered who it belonged to. When he got closer, he found that it was a little zongzi, and quickly saluted, "His Royal Highness!"

Xiao Zongzi immediately put on a bun face, and said solemnly: "Excuse me."

Zhang Yan hurriedly welcomed them in, and reported the investigation situation to Yan Sanbai as he walked, "Master Yan, we have already checked, and Fang Zhihan has become very fond of sweets in recent months, but many children are In this way, Mrs. Liu didn't take it seriously, and she was already very fond of her son, so she only restricted it a little. As for the others, although the third wife, Mrs. Xie, was the most beautiful, she had never been in dispute. The young master is still young, he can't be ranked high or low, and Liu usually targets the second wife and the eldest son the most, but he has nothing to do with the third wife."

"Is the relationship between Fang Zhihan and the Xie family good?" Yan Sanbai asked.

Zhang Yan scratched his head, "He and Mrs. Xie... don't know, but he has a good relationship with the second son, Fang Zhidong, and often plays with him. Fang Zhiling is old, so it's not easy to play with them. "

"I see." Yan Sanbai nodded. At this time, Guan Qingci happened to be walking towards him. Yan Sanbai quickly walked a few steps to meet him, "Did you find out?"

Guan Qingci shook his head, "It will take some time."

Yan Sanbai was not disappointed either, it was troublesome to check people's backgrounds.

Guan Qingci glanced at Li Yan and Xiao Zongzi, saluted, and asked, "Are you still arrested?"

Yan Sanbai's gaze rested on Guan Qingci's body, he seemed to hesitate a bit, but soon became firm again, "Catch it."

Almost as soon as the words were finished, Guan Qingci nodded, not dragging his head at all, and clasped the handle of the knife tightly, "Zhang Yan, follow me to arrest people."

"Yes!" Zhang Yan was very excited when he heard about the arrest, but when Guan Qing resigned and walked to the door, he realized—"Eh? My lord, have we solved the case yet?! Are you going to arrest people now? Who are you arresting?" ??"

Yan Sanbai looked at Guan Qingci's back with a little worry, and Li Yan squinted at him, "Why does Guan Qingci seem to listen to you?"

"Huh?" Yan Sanbai lost his mind.

Li Yan raised his eyebrows, "If you accept Guan Qing's resignation as a younger brother, I can still accept it."

Yan Sanbai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, what is this, but he understood what Li Yan was doing, and explained: "I am friends with Mr. Guan."

"When I first approached you, I also said to be friends with you. It is fate to meet you by chance."

Yan Sanbai was speechless.

After finally coaxing people, the three of them walked into the inner courtyard of Dali Temple, and saw that under the ginkgo tree, Xiwei was still sitting there drinking tea by himself.Seeing them coming, this venerable master didn't even move his butt, but just raised his eyes indifferently, his expression paralyzed like a stone.

Speaking of which, Daoist Qiwei is also a beautiful Taoist priest from Hanshan, although he doesn't seem to be very polite, he has a strange temperament and a paralyzed face, but his facial features are extremely upright, and a sense of grandeur rushes towards his face.In the words of Qiu Xuzi-this face is born to be a Taoist priest, and it can deceive people.

It's just that Qiwei himself disdains to do this, but the person who is the least able to bluff and deceive Xunxian Wendao has become the national teacher of Da Zhou, time and fate.

Seeing Li Yan sitting down next to him, although Qi Wei didn't show dislike, but the face that was more paralyzed than before was enough to show the turmoil in his heart, and only when he saw the little rice dumpling, his His face looked a little better.

Speaking of which, when Li Yan was young, Qi Wei also loved him like a little rice dumpling, but once a child grows up, he will not be well-behaved, like Li Yan.

In comparison, Yan Sanbai is more joyful.Qi Wei turned his head to look at Yan Sanbai, and looked at him carefully for the first time, remembering what his senior brother mentioned in the letter, his eyes couldn't help but sink slightly—is Dongling not old, when will those old monsters come back again? Taught a little monster?

By the way, aren't those old monsters dead yet?

Yan Sanbai couldn't help feeling embarrassed when Qi Wei looked at him like this, "Is there... something on your face?"

Qi Wei's eyes sharpened, "Are you studying from Dongling, or from Xidu?"

Hearing this, Yan Sanbai's expression turned serious, "Xi Du."

"Xidu?" Li Yan was puzzled, he had heard of Mount Bulao, but this was the first time Xidu had heard of it.

Qiwei said: "You are young, so of course you don't know. Bulaoshan used to have only one Dongling, and then there was an evil sword fairy, so he divided it into a Xidu. Xidu practiced some evil skills, and in the end it was all evil. You can't escape the fate of becoming obsessed. But I see that you have a strong clear energy, and you don't seem to be obsessed."

Although Qi Wei said so, Li Yan couldn't help but twitched his eyelids when he heard the words 'besotted', but just as he was about to speak, Yan Sanbai held his hand that was placed under the stone table, He shook his head slowly at him, and then said slowly: "Xidu did not take the orthodox path, but although I came from Xidu, I have never really learned Xidu's swordsmanship. Time is running out, so I forcibly poured my whole life's kung fu into my body, so although I am strong inside, Xidu's swordsmanship can only be a few strokes."

For example, the time flower trick shown to the Tianshan faction, and the ban on the five senses.

Qi frowned slightly, "But Hunyuan Guanti Dafa?"

"Yes."

"But you are still a child, how could you survive?"

"It's just a fluke." Yan Sanbai smiled slightly, the past is not for outsiders, it was a big crisis, but also a big opportunity.

The two were talking, and the thrilling things were said in a bland manner.Li Yan frowned slightly at the side, Yan Sanbai's words suddenly touched a memory deep in his mind, it was a long time ago, a memory that seemed to have been forgotten.

A truth seems to be coming out, but it seems to be a little bit closer.

Yan Sanbai turned his head, saw Li Yan frowning, and squeezed his hand, there was a tacit understanding in his eyes that only the two of them could understand—what's wrong?

Li Yan shook his head, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth—it's okay.

Qi Wei turned her eyes away in disgust, she was lonely and her thoughts were hard to say.

However, he took a sip of tea and seemed to remember something, and asked, "How's the investigation going?"

"Why is Master Uncle interested in this?"

Qi Wei was very calm, "Everyone says that Yan Xiatan is unparalleled in intelligence, I have seen and seen."

At the end, he added another sentence, "By the way, I'm on business with my brother."

Is this testing me?Thinking of this, Yan Sanbai was also a little curious about what the pair of senior brothers wanted to do. Could it be that they had seen his relationship with Li Yan?

"Let me guess first, the murderer is... the third lady?" Li Yan said.

“How come you see?”

"If it has nothing to do with her, why did you ask Zhang Yan to investigate her?" Li Yan has his own cleverness.

That's true.Yan Sanbai rubbed his nose and said, "Let's sort out this case again. In the morning, Daoist Qi Wei once said that Fang Zhihan had accumulated poison in his body very early, and the arsenic was just an introduction. Therefore, Fang Zhihan was poisoned the first time." The time is when this case really begins.”

Yan Sanbai spoke in a calm manner, even Xiao Zongzi listened attentively, but he was much calmer, with a serious face, and no more crying.

"Fang Zhihan was poisoned a few months ago, and this poison is a chronic poison, which is stored in the human body through long-term ingestion. It can be seen that the person who poisoned must be in Fang's mansion, so that he has the time and conditions to strike But Fang Zhihan was poisoned, so it was impossible for him to have no reaction at all, so I asked Zhang Yan to check carefully, and found that the only abnormality was that Fang Zhihan suddenly became very sweet, so that when he died, his mouth was full of More than half of his teeth were decayed. Xiao Zongzi also said that Fang Zhihan's last words were—why isn't the plum cake sweet?"

"You mean, the murderer's poison changed Fang Zhihan's dietary preferences?" Li Yan said.

"Yes." Yan Sanbai said slowly, "When I was in the Western Regions, I saw a kind of flower called rice sac flower. It is generally used as an ornamental or as medicine to relieve the pain of patients. But the medicine Three-point poison, once a person takes an overdose, they will become dependent on it, that is-addiction, and it is difficult to quit. I saw this flower in the yard of the third lady.

Add the juice of the cassava flower to the sweets and feed it to Fang Zhihan. Fang Zhihan is a child, his resistance is not strong, and he can easily become addicted. "

Hearing this, Li Yan's mind suddenly had an idea, "Is this what you said, Fang Zhihan poisoned himself?"

"Yes." Yan Sanbai nodded, "Fang Zhihan is already addicted. In order to prevent him from cavities, Mrs. Liu will naturally reduce the amount of sugar in the plum cake. Fang Zhihan is used to eating things with added ingredients. Of course his mouth is bland, so when his addiction kicks in, if a bottle of powdered sugar is put in front of him..."

"He will add it without hesitation." Li Yan continued.

"That makes sense. Fang Zhihan is not stupid. He knows that the plum blossom cake made by Mrs. Liu is not sweet, so he doesn't eat that much. The only explanation is that he knows that the plum blossom cake has been sweetened by adding ingredients. So he ate several pieces and found that the taste was different from what he expected, so he muttered, 'Why isn't the cake sweet'."

Yan Sanbai said, his eyes darkened, "The only thing the murderer missed is that the poison in Fang Zhihan's body made him die too quickly."

"What about Amu?" Qi Wei asked after taking a sip of tea.

"Amu must know something, but he didn't realize that this was an important clue, and he didn't take it to heart at all, so he ignored it during the interrogation at Dali Temple, and the murderer took the opportunity to walk around the rumor that Amu was Fang Shangshu's illegitimate son, forcing Liu Crazy, thinking that Amu wanted to get Fang Zhihan to get Fang's family. This is also very understandable, but the murderer obviously didn't want to drink." Yan Sanbai said.

Li Yan understood, "If the murderer is really the third wife, she has enough motives to get rid of Liu Shi and Fang Zhihan, but judging from her modus operandi, she should be a thoughtful and very smart person. We just happened to know the rice sac flower, and we still can't solve the case. However, it would be a bit stupid to kill Fang Zhihan at this time. The smarter way should be to wait for Liu to get rid of Fang Zhiling, and then reap the benefits. Moreover, The murderer's ultimate target is Xiao Zongzi."

At this time, Guan Qingci came back with someone.The third wife, Mrs. Xie, was put in shackles and walked behind, but there was little panic in her expression.She walked slowly towards this side, the chains jingled, those beautiful eyes looked over, swept over Li Yan and Xiao Zongzi, took another look at Yan Sanbai, and finally looked at the tall and slender figure in front of her , there was a vague smile on the corner of his mouth—oh, the victim, the perpetrator, and the judge who claimed to be righteous, they all came together.
