Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 676 Blue Butterfly

Everyone moved from the room where the corpses were stored to the room specially used by Dali Temple Minister to receive guests. Everyone sat down one after another, all eyes focused on Jin Miaomiao.

"After another inspection of the corpse, it can be confirmed that the owner of the Pickle Garden died from being stabbed into the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head with a thin needle. The other eleven people all died from a poison called Qingdie." Jin Miao Miao handed her records to Bai Meng, "This poison called Qingdie is very rare. It is colorless and odorless. Even after people take it, they will not even have the most basic poisoning reaction."

"The basic reaction of poisoning is our usual simple one?" Xuanyuan Liang took the autopsy record handed over by Bai Meng, and quickly browsed through it. ?”

"It's the reaction of the poisoned." Jin Miaomiao looked at Xuanyuan Liang and explained, "They don't have any reaction themselves. What the old general said is cramping in the abdomen, foaming at the mouth, and even bleeding from the seven orifices. Nothing will happen, and they will leave this world very peacefully. Just like what the three previous authors said, there are no external injuries, no internal injuries, no signs of fighting, and they died naturally."

"There is such a magical poison in the world?" Song Qiyun looked at Jin Miaomiao curiously, "Then how did sister Miaomiao find out?"

"I was lucky enough to see this thing a few years ago. There is a transparent liquid in a small transparent bottle, which is as clear as white water." Jin Miaomiao sneered, "The surface is simple and unpretentious, but the inside is deadly. The blue butterfly is extremely powerful, one drop is enough to kill a person, but...the onset time is quite long. After taking it, it will take about 24 hours for the onset, and after another 24 hours, the signs of poisoning will slowly appear On the surface, the corpse will show blue fine lines, it looks like a blue butterfly spreading its wings, and it is precisely because of this that this poison has such a nice name, Qingdie."

"The elders in the family often say that the more beautiful something is, the more likely it is poisonous, it's true." Bai Meng curled her lips, "The three assistants didn't see that they were poisoned, because it hasn't been 24 hours, right? Seeing Jin Miaomiao nodding, he continued to ask, "You can see that it's because of some changes in the viscera of the corpse, right?"

"That's why I have repeatedly emphasized that it must be cut open." Jin Miaomiao nodded, looking at Shen Cha with a pale face, and Shen Haolin who was hugging her and talking softly, Slightly frowned, "What's wrong with Xiaocha?"

Shen Haolin shook his head towards Jin Miaomiao, "It's nothing, it's just a little uncomfortable."

Shen Cha was not physically uncomfortable, but very uncomfortable in his heart. When Jin Miaomiao uttered the word "Qingdie", he felt as uncomfortable as a river.Jin Miaomiao specializes in the study of various poisons in the world, so it is natural to know Qingdie, and she herself knows this thing, not only knows, but has seen it, and even almost became the victim of Qingdie.

When she was very, very young, she had not yet been adopted by the old Zhen Guogong and his wife. She accidentally saw an exquisite small bottle in the most secret drawer of the couple's room. She was reminded and ordered not to touch it. stuff, or something terrible will happen.However, on the second day after she was reminded, she saw with her own eyes that the couple added a few drops of this terrible thing to the small teacup she and Shen Jiu used to drink water, and heard them say If this blue butterfly really works, then they can be completely relieved.If she hadn't accidentally knocked over the teacup later, she might not be in this world long ago.

This matter has always been buried in her heart, and she has never mentioned it to anyone, including her father, mother and brother.Now, after hearing the name Qingdie, the scene she had seen once again appeared in front of her eyes, her face turned pale unconsciously, and her body began to tremble slowly.

Shen Haolin was the first to notice that something was wrong with Shen Cha. Seeing that the people around him were almost out of control and couldn't care about anything else, he hugged them in his arms, comforted her gently, and told her that he was by his side , nothing to be afraid of.

He didn't even need to ask Shen Cha what she was thinking of, every time she was in such a situation, it was buried in her heart, those images and things she didn't want to face the most, were brought up again, remembered again, and that nightmare lingered again in her heart.

Every time he saw Shen Cha like this, Shen Haolin couldn't calm down, and wished he could rush to the couple immediately, use unimaginable methods to deal with them, and make them feel that life would be worse than death.

But Shen Haolin's only sliver of reason told him that he couldn't do this, that these two people were still useful to them and Xiaocha, so he could only glare at Xuanyuan Liang who had the same worried expression as him.

Xuanyuan Liang felt the cold murderous aura emanating from Shen Haolin's body, and was startled, feeling vaguely that something was wrong.

"What does Shen Guogong mean by this?"

As Xuanyuan Liang expected, Shen Haolin comforted Shen Cha, waited for her emotions to calm down, and began to question the teacher.

"What do you mean?" Shen Haolin sneered, not only did he look at Xuanyuan Liang with unfriendly eyes, but also his words were hard, cold and full of irony. "I don't know, has the old general heard of this blue butterfly before today? Xuanyuan's family has thousands of collections. I wonder if they have also collected this blue butterfly? When the couple left Xuanyuan's house, did they take this blue butterfly with them? "

Xuanyuan Liang was confused by Shen Haolin's series of questioning, he could no longer care about reprimanding Shen Haolin for his rudeness, and of course, he never had the right to put on airs of an elder in front of him and Shen Cha.However, he quickly came to his senses, from Shen Cha's reaction just now, and the connection between the cause and effect, even if no one said what was going on, he guessed it all.

"I can be sure, I have never seen Qing Die, and Xuanyuan's family does not have this thing." Xuanyuan Liang's expression was very serious, and his tone was very firm, "When they left, it was even more impossible to carry it with them."

Shen Cha, who had already recovered, reached out and patted Shen Haolin when he heard the conversation between the two.

"Brother, don't do this, you misunderstood." She took two sips of the tea that Mei Lin handed over, "They didn't take the blue butterfly from Xijing, but bought it from a merchant from the Kingdom of Jin when they were at the border. of."

"Jin Country... businessman?" Hearing Shen Cha's words, everyone in the room, except Jin Miaomiao, was taken aback. "Why a merchant from the Kingdom of Jin?"

"Because the person who invented this poison was Wan Yanping's great-great-great-grandfather. The woman he loves most is the blue butterfly. When she was alive, she often said that she would be a blue butterfly in the next life. She After passing away, Wan Yanping's great-great-great-grandfather became sick with longing, so he made such a thing to commemorate the woman he loves the most." Jin Miaomiao spread his hands, "I don't know how to commemorate, anyway, he just It has been made. Because all the medicinal materials needed to make Qingdie are unique products of the Kingdom of Jin, and there are no other places. Therefore, if you want a bottle of Qingdie, you must go through the Jinren. More importantly, you can buy it if you have money. No, because every bottle of Blue Butterfly is registered and is the treasure of the Golden Royal Family."

"Old general, I'm sorry, I was confused at the next moment, please punish the old general."

After listening to Jin Miaomiao's explanation, Shen Haolin was unequivocal, let go of Shen Cha, bowed deeply to Xuanyuan Liang, and apologized to him.

"It's not that serious, don't apologize, I can understand your feelings." Xuanyuan Liang stood up and hurried over to support Shen Haolin. "You treat her sincerely and don't want her to be hurt. I'm very relieved."

"..." Shen Haolin looked at Xuanyuan Liang, "Thank you, old general!"

The two sat down again, Shen Haolin looked at Jin Miaomiao, and raised his eyebrows slightly at her.

"What do you mean?"

"Let's not talk about how the blue butterfly in the couple's hands came from, but how did the current murderer, how did the golden royal family's collection fall into his hands? Why is such a precious thing used in an ordinary pickle garden? On the boss? This is unreasonable." Shen Haolin raised his head and exchanged glances with Shen Cha and Bai Meng, "Unless, he is..."

"Meilin!" Shen Cha snapped his fingers, "Go and bring Wan Yanxi here, let him recognize him!"

"Don't go with Merlin!" Bai Meng stood up and stopped Merlin who was about to leave, "I'll go in person!"
