Chapter 46 Poisoning 2

"Yes! Yes! Yes! How do you know?" Hearing his colleague's words, the axe nodded excitedly and asked him anxiously. The colleague pointed out, "I saw the two of them following the master over there."

"What?" The axe looked stunned, and then he jumped up. "You said they went to the crime scene?"

"Yes!" The colleague nodded, and the axe shouted that it was not good. He ran there crazily and said in his heart, "Miss Ziyi, Miss Ziyi, where are you not good to go? Why do you have to go there? What should I do if something happens to you?"

......

So, the axe is chasing crazily here, but Ziyi and Mozhu have arrived at the crime scene. It was at this time that Xingchen discovered the existence of the two of them, and his expression couldn't help but stiffen again, "Ziyi, Mo Zhu, how can you two be here?"

"We came with you." Ziyi looked at Xingchen and whispered. Although Xingchen wanted to reprimand, they had arrived here. It was impossible to drive them back now. They could only sigh and say, "Don't run around."

Ziyi nodded quickly, "Yes." Then he added, "Uncle Xingchen, you are so kind."

"I..." Xingchen was speechless for a long time, and finally said, "Oh! Forget it, just be happy."

In this way, Ziyi stayed openly, and the people next to him looked at this strange scene and were a little surprised. Fortunately, their main attention was still on the case, and there was not too much gossip about Ziyi and Mozhu, which made their existence not caused much disturbance.

When Ziyi followed Xingchen to the place where the deceased died, Ziyi carefully observed the deceased's clothes. Although the deceased's face was stained with dust, the clothes on his body were relatively neat, and the material was not bad. Even the shoes on his feet were also made of silk, and the family should be relatively rich.

At the same time, judging from the decorations in the room, solid wood tables and chairs, porcelain tea sets, and mahogany doors, all of which show that the family's daily life should be good, and the deceased's skin is fair, there is no thick cocoon on the unbroken palm, and he should not have done any heavy work on weekdays.

In addition, except for the food scattered on the ground, almost everything else in the deceased's house is placed in an orderly manner. Obviously, it should be carefully cleaned on weekdays, and it is not like a house where a hostess who often goes out to hang out with men!

Ziyi looked doubtfully and looked at it, with some doubts in her heart.

If what the old woman said is true, then the family should be relatively poor. In this way, the woman named Qiaoling will have the idea of elope with other men. Of course, although it is not ruled out that she has feelings with other men, if a woman has the idea of elopement, how can she still Will you clean up the house in such an orderly manner?

Shouldn't it be a mess?

And looking at the deceased and Qiaoling's clothes, their family should not be people who can't afford to wear good clothes. Why does the old woman insist on wearing patched clothes? What the hell is going on? Is that old woman with ulterior motives? Or does this Qiaoling really have any unspeakable secrets?

And why was Qiaoling so calm at the beginning? Is it really normal for her to face her husband without crying, but also calm? Looking at the old woman's expression, it was too normal. The crying red eyes and messy hair seemed that everything was just right.

Is it just that all this really looks like it looks? Is it really sad in the eyes of that old woman? Ziyi is not sure.

While thinking about Ziyi, Xingchen had ordered someone to check the food on the ground.

The meal was prepared by Qiaoling alone. When the official was checking, Ziyi looked at the expression on Qiaoling's face, but did not see a trace of panic, which made Ziyi more suspicious. And the results of the official inspection also surprised everyone.

"There is no poison in this meal." The official who inspected the food said so, and everyone's faces were stunned, "Isn't it poisonous?" Xing Chen asked back. The official wiped his hands and said, "Yes, there is really no poison in the food."

"How could the deceased die of poisoning?" Someone asked, but the official didn't reply and said, "I don't know."

Just as the stars were about to take further evidence collection, the old woman suddenly came out, pointed to the bowl on the ground and said, "Will...is it be poisonous?"

Her words suddenly reminded everyone. Ziyi looked at the old woman thoughtfully, and Xingchen made people continue to check the bowls and chopsticks eaten by the deceased. As a result, the poison was found on the bowl that the deceased had used.

This time, the deceased was officially convicted of murder, but it is still uncertain who the murderer is. Xingchen asked his officers and soldiers to take Qiaoling and the old woman away, and then prepared to go back to the government office.

Ziyi looked around and saw that there was nothing abnormal, so she followed everyone.

When he returned to the government office, Xingchen temporarily sent Qiao Ling to prison, and he returned to the backyard and remembered the case. Ziyi sneaked to his side, "Uncle Xingchen, who do you think the murderer will be?"

Xingchen frowned and thought for a moment, and didn't care too much about Ziyi's young age. He said seriously, "I don't know for the time being. On the surface, the young woman named Qiaoling is indeed very suspicious, but I always feel that things will not be so simple.

Because if Qiaoling wants to murder her husband, then why did she choose a way to expose herself so easily? The food was prepared by her, and the bowls and chopsticks were also brought by her, and if the poison was not put into the meal, but on the edge of the bowl, then the poisoner will undoubtedly be her. But is it really that simple?

The old woman said that she hangs out with men all day, but we still don't know who that man is, and why did Qiaoling do this? Is it just because the deceased broke a hand? I don't think it's that simple."

Xingchen said so, and Ziyi nodded secretly, "Uncle Xingchen is right! However, Ziyi also found some problems. I don't know if Uncle Xingchen is interested in listening to it?

"Oh? What did you find?" Hearing Ziyi's words, Xingchen became interested. Ziyi said all her previous findings and doubts. The more Xing Chen listened, the brighter his eyes became. "So, there is something wrong with that old woman?"

Ziyi nodded, "I think so. But now I'm not sure about anything. I want Uncle Xingchen to send someone to ask Qiaoling who she is with all day and how the relationship between Qiaoling and her mother-in-law is. Ziyi said this, and Xingchen also thought it was feasible, so he called the axe to ask him to inquire about these things.

And when the axe came in, it didn't say anything first, but looked around Ziyi two or three times before saying, "Miss Ziyi, are you all right?"

A trace of doubt appeared on Ziyi's face, "What can I do?"

"As long as you're fine, as long as you're fine." The axe breathed a big sigh of relief, took a short break and went to the crime scene to find them, but did not see them, and then told them about the hurried back. Ziyi was very sorry for this. Uncle Axe, I'm sorry that I left first without telling you. I'm really sorry for worrying you.

In the face of Ziyi's apology, the axe returned to its previous awkward appearance. His face turned red and waved his hand repeatedly, "No... It's okay, I... I'm strong. It doesn't matter if I run more. Miss Ziyi, don't be so polite to me." The axe said so.

Ziyi took his sleeve, climbed his arm, and said to him, "If Uncle Axe is really not angry with Ziyi, then call him Ziyi, Ziyi, don't call me Miss Ziyi. I... I like to hear people call me Ziyi." Ziyi said so.

The first reaction of the axe is to refuse, "How can this work?"

Ziyi pouted and looked at him. If the axe was not done well, she had to respond, and Ziyi gave him a big smile. Xingchen looked at this scene and smiled on his face.

However, he was still concerned about this poisoning case, so after Ziyi and the axe finished talking, Xingchen handed over a few things to the axe to do. Of course, the first thing is to find out whether Qiaoling is dealing with the man, and the second thing is to find out what the relationship between Qiaoling and her mother-in-law is. Another thing, Ziyi reminded Xingchen, that is, how did the hand of the deceased break, and is there any hidden information here?

For these things, Xingchen ordered the axe to be careful, and the axe agreed with a serious face. After Xingchen finished arranging, he didn't have time to say hello to Ziyi and went out. Ziyi looked at the back of the axe and said to Xingchen, "Uncle Xingchen, Uncle Axe is really a good catcher!"

"Yes!" Xingchen also sighed and said, "When I first came here, many people were not convinced of me. It was still this honest man who always listened to me, which made me gradually start my work here. In the final analysis, I still have some gratitude to him."

Xing Chen said this and smiled at Ziyi.

When Mo Zhu finally found him, Ziyi and Xingchen were sitting in front of Xingchen's bookcase drinking tea. Mo Zhu was a little helpless about the happiness of the two of them...
