true identity

It's a pity that Zhao Ci couldn't come up. If he saw the dead, he would beat his head and stamp his feet angrily.Because the deceased was none other than the woman who ordered Zhao Ci to deliver the wine.

In the bright and spacious room, bypassing the four beauty screens used for partition, the entrance is a double bed.The red bed curtain is embroidered with bewitching butterflies and vines, half of which is hanging down and half of which is hanging, and the situation on the bed can be clearly seen from the hanging end.At the foot of the bed was a broad blanket, the silver-white fur looked soft and comfortable.There are a wide variety of accessories on the dressing table. It is conceivable that the original owner has to worry about choosing pearls and emeralds for a long time every day.Under Du Liniang's instruction, Xiuge lifted up the other half of the bed curtain tremblingly, and the pained expressions on familiar and unfamiliar faces were immediately revealed in front of everyone.

The girls inhaled in unison.

Zhenyu lay quietly on the bed, her face had lost all color, her lips were bruised, her limbs were twisted and stiff, as if she had suffered great pain before she died, her almond eyes were slightly staring in unwillingness, but unfortunately they were no longer focused.

Xiao Ai was dragged by Du Liniang to stand in front of the window, she was shaking like a sieve.Du Liniang covered her nose with a silk scarf in one hand, pinched Xiao Ai's back collar with the other hand, poked her head to glance at the dead man, and then shrank back.She stared at Xiao Ai with wide eyes: "You little girl, you don't even know how your master died? What use are you for?"

The terrified Xiao Ai was forced to kneel on the ground as soon as she tried hard. She was shaking like a sieve, and said with snot and tears: "Miss received Mr. Liu as usual last night. I was waiting outside the door. In the early morning Master Liu left, and I went in and the lady talked and laughed without any abnormalities. After that, she fell asleep after taking a bath, and I fell asleep outside too. I delivered bird’s nests as usual during the day, but I found that the lady was——already out of breath.” Xiao Ai Looking up at the hardened corpse, grief and hopelessness welled up in her heart, and she cried bitterly: "I really don't know anything."

"Sister Du, what are you doing to scare Xiao Ai? Hurry up and report to the officials, are you still waiting for the corpse to grow grass?" Everyone was jealous of the gloomy aura of the corpse, and stood far away, fearing that it would be tainted with bad luck.After Xiaokui came in, she glanced at the corpse and left after satisfying her desire to watch the excitement.Although the two had been arguing and arguing before, Xiao Kui was not very happy when she died.Death is like a lamp being extinguished, so much resentment is wiped away like a whisk.

Sister Du said angrily: "Of course I have to sue the officials, go and call for someone." She dismissed all the girls and told Miaoyinxuan to take a day off today and not to receive guests that night.

Jiang Yanyi and Pei Ding came to Miaoyinxuan again.In the huge lobby, girls in twos and threes were sitting or standing, and groups of twos and threes were chattering about something, and the red silk lanterns hanging on the roof showed a hint of depression in the daytime.

Different from the laughter and laughter last night, the girls' forced smiles now contained more or less subtle emotions.There are those who watch the show, those who are trembling, and those who have nothing to do with themselves and are indifferent, and there are people who are busy and don't know what they are doing.

After receiving the report, Du Liniang rushed over in a gust of wind, embarrassing and helpless, and said to them, "My lords, it's really a bad time, and I have to trouble you again."

"As a parent official, it's my job to solve cases for the common people. Sister Du should take the lead." Jiang Yanyi and Pei Ding followed Sister Du half a step behind.

They walked gracefully, and when Sister Du had finished talking about the ins and outs of the future, they happened to walk into Zhenyu's boudoir.The windows are still closed tightly, and the incense burnt last night has an aftertaste, and there is a slight fragrance in the stuffy smell.The girls in the building like to order aphrodisiac spices when receiving guests.Jiang Yanyi sniffed the scent and turned to look at Pei Ding.Pei Ding shook his head at him.

There is no mistaking the fragrance.

The entrance is a four-legged round table, and the cups and bowls of tea on it are neatly placed in the center of the table.The teapot is small, with light patterns wrapped around it.Jiang Yanyi put on gloves and opened the lid of the teapot. There was nothing inside, and the teacups were obediently overturned on the tea tray.This is the desktop after tidying up.There are washbasin stands around it, and a chess piece and a piano are placed on the low table in the west corner.Jiang Yanyi ignored Du Liniang who was staring at him, and walked around the screen.

The brightly colored bed is particularly eye-catching in the elegant room. The red gauze curtain and red bedding, the fire-like red color is eye-catching under the candlelight at night, but now a female corpse is lying on it, it is strangely horrifying.The quilt on Zhenyu's body was lifted, and she was lying on the bed in a strange posture, with her right hand on her abdomen, her left hand twisting the sheet, her feet arched and crooked on the quilt beside her.The obscene clothes on her stomach were crumpled into a ball, and the bed sheet at her hand was also twisted into a mess.At first glance, if the body hadn't already been stiff, she would have yelled out the word "pain" if anyone would have believed it.

This is the performance of abdominal pain.Did he die from abdominal pain?

"Master Jiang, did you see anything?" Du Liniang asked softly, lest she interfere with his investigation.

Jiang Yanyi flicked her sleeves, folded her hands behind her back, and said firmly, "I can't see that."

"Huh?" Du Liniang looked in disbelief.

He smiled and turned his head to Pei Ding, who was full of composure, and mumbled, "You must ask this great fairy to come out." As soon as he finished speaking, Pei Ding frowned immediately: "Jiang Leping, don't think I won't leave."

"Hey, don't be like this." Seeing that he was calling out her own words seriously, Yanyi went to wrap her arms around Pei Ding's shoulders.He didn't care about Du Liniang's straight eyes, and analyzed it carefully: "Look, since I have been a parent officer in Han County for a few days, I have to make some political achievements. Otherwise, the old man will probably say that I eat nothing. Now, the key The moment is up to you."

Pei Ding slapped his hand off, and ruthlessly poked him: "Who said in the veranda last night that his ambition is not here?"

Jiang Yanyi picked out her ears: "Yes, I care about the mountains and rivers. But I'm tired of looking at the water when I come to Han County. I should do something, and then I will take you to see the mountains. How about it?"

He often eats himself with a rogue face, knowing that his words need to be carefully considered, but Pei Ding is easy to soften his heart.

Seeing that his face was loose, Jiang Yanyi pulled him forward while the iron was hot.Seeing the relaxed expression on his face, those who didn't know it thought that he was taking Mr. Pei to visit the mountains and rivers.Pei Ding broke free from his hand, glared at him and stepped forward to examine the corpse carefully.

The disgusted Jiang Yanyi didn't mind at all.He smiled and stroked his hands, and when he turned around to face Du Liniang, he no longer had a playful smile on his face.With a serious face, he told Du Liniang earnestly: "This is the son of Mr. Pei, the close disciple of the Immortal Doctor, Mr. Pei Dingpei. This time, the honorable condescends to me as a coroner. You must not publicize this matter." what?"

How dare Du Liniang refuse to agree.

Preliminary autopsy results showed that Zhenyu died of poisoning.The specific poison can only be known after the corpse is carried back to the Yamen for relevant tests.Similarly, no one can enter this room, and the teacups and utensils on the table are carefully put away and taken to the yamen together.

Hearing that the corpse was about to be carried out, Du Liniang breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly called for help.Jiang Yanyi declined her help, and asked his own people to carefully move it to the veneer, and then covered it with a white cloth.

Du Liniang nodded and said: "That's right, our people are sloppy, how can an adult do it well." The big problem in my heart is resolved, and the next question is to ask, Du Liniang ordered someone to serve tea.

Jiang Yanyi said directly: "You don't need to drink tea, you have to go back and look at the corpse."

Du Liniang said embarrassingly: "That's right, I won't delay my lord's handling of the case. However, has the person who gave Miaomiao the poisoned wine been found?"

Speaking of poisoned wine, Jiang Yanyi raised her eyebrows: "Zhao Ci is back."

Du Liniang was taken aback.

Thinking that she was surprised that Zhao Ci didn't respond, Jiang Yanyi explained: "Zhao Ci was useful in the poisoned alcohol case, and let him leave this morning after finishing the punishment. Why, he hasn't arrived yet?"

Du Liniang said hesitantly: "He was just working part-time in Miaoyinxuan, and now he has received the punishment, will he come back?"

"He will definitely come back." Jiang Yanyi said quite confidently.Pei Ding, who was checking the dowry, paused for a moment.He put down the hairpin and phoenix, turned around and said, "According to the time, he should have arrived at Miaoyinxuan early."

"Tell Zhao Ci to wait for me in the lobby." Jiang Yanyi said.Du Liniang responded and went out.

The yamen servants neatly and orderly arranged the necessary things and prepared to take them back for inspection.Pei Ding came over and said in a low voice, "She doesn't seem to want us to see Zhao Ci very much."

Jiang Yanyi also felt the same about Pei Ding's question.But there is another possibility: "Maybe not afraid to think the worst about others."

"A person like this will punish Zhao Ci lightly?" Pei Ding asked.

will not.

But what can Zhao Ci make Du Liniang afraid of?

This answer made Jiang Yanyi very curious.
