I solved crimes in the Song Dynasty and strengthened the country [Seventh Five-Year]

90 Incense Ember Seal Seal Without Trace

Following Jiang Lin's gaze, everyone looked at Mrs. Xian who was sitting among the missions.

Mrs. Xian, wearing a beaded hairpin, was pouring wine for Yelu Zongyuan while holding the jug.

Noticing everyone's gaze, she was slightly taken aback, and asked hesitantly, "What does Jiang Shaoqing mean by looking at me like this?"

But Bai Yutang at the side has already reacted: "Yes, Mrs. Yelu wants to fake her own death time by eating in a wrong place, so it is impossible for Mrs. Xian who has been with her all day to not notice it at all. .Especially at noon, when there are only you and Mrs. Yelu in the room, how could you not notice that she didn't eat on purpose?"

Everyone showed a look of sudden realization, but Mrs. Xian was still defending: "I have already told Yu Shitai that I was only paying attention to the performance outside the window at that time, and I didn't notice what my sister ate. And when we left, she was in the bowl and chopsticks. There are so many leftovers of food, how could I have guessed that she didn't eat any of it?"

She rolled her eyes and said, "The misplaced eating is actually just your own guess. What if my sister ate well from the beginning, but just hid the food in the clothes when we weren't paying attention?..."

Although Mrs. Xian's explanation was a bit far-fetched, Jiang Lin did not miss any related possibilities.

"In fact, Mrs. Xian's guess is not unreasonable, but Mrs. Yelu has not been abused by the mission, and there are so many servants around, if there is no special purpose, why hide the food in her closest underwear Inside?" Jiang Lin emphasized the word inner garment, and said, "Besides, after returning to the other garden, she hasn't asked the servants to clean up the dress she changed, but hid it in the closet In the midst of it, the rats were attracted. Such a suspicious behavior really had to attract Jiang's attention."

Most of the people present agreed with what Jiang Lin said, "Ms. Yelu has other purposes", and nodded in agreement.

However, the people in the mission obviously felt that suicide was already an explanation in their favor. Except for Yelu Zongyuan who was still in shock, basically no one cared why Mrs. Yelu committed suicide—as long as there was no murderer in the mission. Can.

Only Yelu Zongyuan asked Jiang Lin: "Why did Mengyao do this? Why did you say that Axian was involved in this matter..."

He glanced at Mrs. Xian, feeling a little awkward.

Jiang Lin looked at Yelu Zongyuan and said, "From the results, Mrs. Zun definitely wanted to commit suicide, and she wanted to choose a suitable time for herself to commit suicide. From her behavior, it can be seen that she did not eat at the banquet." things, but deliberately chose the time after the noble envoy went to visit..."

Everyone shuddered after hearing this, Yelu Zongyuan put down his wine glass in disbelief and said, "You mean, Mengyao wants to blame me for her own death?!"

"That's right, and, if she's the only one, it's impossible to blame her."

Liu Liufu couldn't help but said, "Why not? If she deliberately pretended to be a fake, most people wouldn't stare at her to see if she had eaten. Mrs. Xian might not have something to do with it, right?"

Jiang Lin said to him: "But you didn't realize that if Mrs. Yelu planned all this by herself, there are many key points that are not right?"

"for example?"

"For example, according to our inferred time of death, Mrs. Yelu must ensure that she sees Yelu's envoy before the second quarter of the clock. The precious envoy himself has said that he does not often go to Mrs. Yelu's residence on weekdays, and the other party cannot predict it in advance. When will he come?" Jiang Lin looked at Yelu Zongyuan, who nodded slowly.

Xiao Temo thought for a moment, and retorted: "I remember Mrs. Yelu left the banquet early on the grounds that she was unwell. It is natural for the prince to visit her after returning to the other garden, and there is no need for any prediction. What's more It's just your unilateral speculation that Mrs. Yelu wants to blame others, what if she just wants to leave quietly?"

"It's the same sentence, if there is no other purpose, there is no need to spend so much trouble." Jiang Lindao, "Even if you really think that Mrs. Yelu can predict that the envoy will visit her, then I would like to ask, what about the poison she took? "

Seeing that everyone was looking at each other, Jiang Lin added: "'Baihu San', a colorless and odorless deadly poison, must be kept in a sealed container, otherwise it will change color and the lethal effect will be greatly reduced. That is to say, Mrs. Yelu It is impossible to put the poison in the snacks in advance, it must be poisoned on the spot and taken on the spot. Then, if no one else helped Mrs. Yelu, why couldn't we find the poison everywhere in the room?"

After saying this, everyone completely understood.

Jiang Lin slowly walked up to Mrs. Xian, and said, "Mrs. Xian not only had lunch with Mrs. Yelu at noon, but also went to her small courtyard around the time of her suspected death. Madam should be able to understand, Why does Jiang think you have a problem?"

Mrs. Xian's eyes widened in panic, and she said, "But these are all guesses without any evidence..."

Jiang Lin respectfully interrupted her: "Madam Xian, can you take off this pearl hairpin that you have been wearing on your head all this time, so that the officials can examine it carefully?"

Others may be puzzled, but Yelu Zongyuan noticed the pearl hairpin on Mrs. Xian's head, which was exactly the one the other party said he was looking for on the night of the murder.

He suddenly understood: "Could it be that the poison is hidden in..."

"Jiang doesn't dare to speculate. If there is any poison in it, you can test it and you will know."

Jiang Lin spread his palms in front of Mrs. Xian. The latter paused, and then put away the surprised expression on his face, squinting his eyes slightly to look at Jiang Lin.

Seeing her reaction like this, everyone understood that Mrs. Yelu's death had something to do with her.

Yelu Zongyuan was even more shocked, not only his wife wanted to forge the time of death to blame him, but his concubine also participated in it.

Yelu Zongyuan pointed at Mrs. Xian and cursed in a broken voice: "You bitch! You actually helped that poisonous woman to blame your husband?!"

Mrs. Xian ignored it, Yeluzong Yuan turned his spearhead, and glared at Liu Liufu again: "You were the one who hinted at me to see that poisonous woman! If it wasn't for you, how could I have gone to Chu Mengyao's place that night? !"

Liu Liufu staggered when he scolded him, and shouted with a red neck, "How can I know so much?"

Yelu Zongyuan also said: "If it wasn't your intention, I wouldn't go to Chu Mengyao's room at all, how could she blame me for the murder?!"

Jiang Lin and Bai Yutang looked at each other, thinking that such unsubstantiated things did not come from their mouths.But seeing Yeluzong Yuan arguing with Liu Liufu angrily, the courtiers on the Song side felt a little subtly refreshed.

Fu Bi glanced at Jiang Lin and felt that the result was not very disappointing.

Although Mrs. Yelu committed suicide, the one who assisted in the murder and wanted to blame Yelu Zongyuan was the Liao Kingdom Mission itself.And now Yelu Zongyuan even suspected that he would harm Liu Liufu if he got involved, and there was a conflict within the mission. Presumably, Song Dynasty could take a lot of opportunities in the subsequent negotiations.

Fu Bi couldn't help but pat Jiang Lin on the shoulder quietly, expressing that he did a good job.

Zhao Zhen, who was sitting at the top, also took into account a farce of the Liao Mission.

"That's enough." Zhao Zhen persuaded Yelu Zongyuan and Liu Liufu to shut up because they realized their gaffe, and then said to Jiang Lin, "Jiang Shaoqing, can you deduce Mrs. Yelu?" Mrs. He Xian's motive for committing the crime? Why did the two of them go to frame Yelu Envoy at the cost of their lives?"

After all, as Yelu Zongyuan's bedside people, the two of them have countless ways to retaliate against each other when they want to, but they just want to do it during the negotiation, which seems to have other purposes.

Jiang Lin nodded and said: "Your Majesty, as far as the background of my investigation is concerned, Mrs. Yelu was originally a woman from the Song Dynasty, and Mrs. Xian's hometown is also on the border of Song and Liao, which is very close to the northern rebels, but the specific reason needs to be determined." Further cross-examination and investigation. This is a big matter, and the minister dare not speak rashly."

Even though he said "don't dare to speak indiscriminately", the identities and backgrounds of the two were mentioned so ambiguously that the thoughts of those present couldn't help but diverge.

If Mrs. Yelu's death is really blamed on Yelu Zongyuan, it will definitely affect the negotiations between Song and Liao. Then at the time when the Great Song Dynasty is fighting with the rebels in the north, the failure of the negotiations between the two countries is the greatest. The beneficiary is...

And just when everyone was engrossed in their thoughts, Mrs. Xian suddenly said: "The peace talks failed, isn't it good?"

There was no expression on the face of the baby who was originally childish, and some traces of coolness could be seen.

"It has nothing to do with others, it's just that I want your peace talks to fail. It's just a war," she looked at Yelu Zongyuan and said, "Didn't you always want to fight a war? I made your wish come true, okay?"

Before Yelu Zongyuan could react, Liu Liufu suddenly stood up, pointed at Mrs. Xian's nose and said, "Nonsense! Negotiations are for the livelihood of the two countries, how can you allow yourself to tamper with here! In my opinion, you are so cheap!" The person must be a gap sent by other forces!"

Liu Liufu clasped his fists and said to Zhao Zhen: "I made the emperor of your country laugh at me. What this person did was to win opportunities for the rebels in the north of your country, but he still attributed the matter to personal grievances. You must polish it." Eyes, don't be provoked by other forces and affect our negotiations!"

Fu Bi hurriedly pretended to be magnanimous and said: "That's natural, we will definitely investigate this woman's background, how can we trust her words?"

Both Liu Liufu and Xiao Temo responded with a smile.

There are side forces trying to sow discord, and the "alliance" between Song and Liao will only become stronger.However, when the Liao mission was at a disadvantage, the other party would naturally have to give up more benefits on the negotiating table.

The result of this case has exceeded many people's expectations. Da Song had nothing to say about Jiang Lin's ability. Even when the meeting was over, Fu Bi held the thread to ask for Jiang Lin's reward.

Zhao Zhen naturally agreed readily, thinking in his heart that Jiang Lin had already received so many awards, what further gifts could he give.

Seeing that the case was about to be settled and Mrs. Xian was about to be brought back to Dali Temple as an important witness and suspect, she bent her eyes and whispered as she passed by Jiang Lin, "If it wasn't for you or your father , Sister Mengyao originally planned to serve vegetables at the banquet."

Jiang Lin narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to figure out the meaning of her words: "If you eat food at a banquet... She wanted to frame the food at the banquet as poisonous?"

In this way, it seems to be more in line with their intention to provoke the relationship between Song and Liao.

Mrs. Xian shrugged her shoulders noncommittally, and continued: "But she gave up her plan and wanted to leave quietly, but she didn't know that you could really calculate the real time of her death based on the time difference. Jiang Shaoqing, it seems that your family is indeed somewhat different from my sister. What about fate?"

Jiang Lin frowned, feeling a bad premonition in his heart: "...What fate?"

Mrs. Xian looked at Jiang Lin with a smile and said, "Guess, where did the 'Baihu powder' that my sister took herself, Baihu, Baihu, come from?"

Jiang Lin's heart shuddered, and he instantly thought of the secret treasure of the white tiger that his family was guarding.

But before he could react, a series of exclamations suddenly came from behind the crowd.

Jiang Lin and Bai Yutang turned their heads and saw Yelu Zongyuan lying on the ground, already out of breath.

He was also poisoned by "Baihu San"!
