Chapter 120 The Case of Qixiang 18
Jing Zhaoyin said solemnly: "Bring the housekeeper!!"

"Wait a minute, my lord!" Yan Mo stopped him. "Before, we had been focusing on the male servant. Now, apart from doubts, there is no evidence to prove that the butler was involved. If he is really guilty, direct interrogation will only scare the snake!"

"I also ask the concubine to show me." Jing Zhaoyin said respectfully.

Yan Mo: "If the person behind the scenes is really the butler, why did he blame Mr. Fang? Why did he notify the servant to escape? The servant also called Mihunxiang Mixiang. What kind of relationship is there between the three of them? "

"Interrogate them separately, maybe there will be new discoveries!" The prince suggested.

"Interrogate the servant, as long as he testifies," Qi Ming pondered, "the housekeeper will be involved."

". But the servant is so dull, can his testimony be convincing to others? And maybe, the housekeeper will try to justify himself and shirk responsibility. There must be ironclad evidence." Yan Mo thought, "Master Fuyin, I want to see Mrs. Xiangling !"

Under the leadership of Jing Zhaoyin, Yan Mo came to the prison, followed by the prince, Qi Ming, Lan Bo, and Qing Muhui.

When the jailer opened the cell door, Yan Mo bent down and entered, "Madam Xiangling, I have something to ask you."

Xiang Ling lowered his eyebrows and looked down, saluted and said: "Miss, please."

Yan Mo: "When did you enter Defang Mansion, and how old were you at that time?"

Xiang Ling: "Five years ago, I was 15 years old."

Yan Mo: "How old was Mr. Fang?"

Xiang Ling: "Yes."

Yan Mo: "How much do you know about the housekeeper?"

"Well," Xiang Ling thought for a while, "Qingyu is the one who has the most contact with the housekeeper. I only know that the housekeeper has been in the mansion for many years and has always managed it well. Whether it is the needs of the concubines or Liu Lang, he has everything. Concubine In the five years since I entered the mansion, I haven't seen my father-in-law a few times. All the affairs of the mansion are handled by the housekeeper. It can be said that the house cannot be separated from the housekeeper."

Yan Mo: "So, he is a delicate person. How is the relationship between Mr. Fang and the housekeeper?"

Xiang Ling: "In the past few years, Liu Lang always consulted with the housekeeper when he had something to do. In recent years, Liu Lang only likes to stay with his concubines. The housekeeper has repeatedly persuaded Liu Lang to learn to govern the business of Fuchu. Liu Lang didn't take it seriously. The housekeeper even tried to drive us away. , but Liu Lang didn't want to, and from then on, the two of them didn't talk as much as before."

"Mrs. Xie, tell me!" Yan Mo went out after finishing speaking, and went straight to the male servant's cell, followed by others.

Yan Mo ordered people to bring the raw materials of incense and incense making tools, put them in front of the male servant, and called the medical officer to feel his pulse.

After examining the pulse, the medical officer made a bow and said, "Return to the words of the princess, this person's pulse is normal, and there is no sign of middle fragrance."

Yan Mo frowned, recalling that in the vegetable market, the male servant sprinkled incense to fend off the enemy, and there was no sign of incense in him during the whole process, did he also have a defensive sachet?

Yan Mo said to the jailer, "Bring everything that was found on him."

"Yes!" The jailer led the order and trotted away.

"Do you know that you're going to die tomorrow?" Yan Mo bent down to enter the prison and said coldly.

The male servant lowered his head, raised his small eyes for a few sneak peeks, and nodded blankly.

Yan Mo: "Why did you run away?"

Servant: "...someone wants to catch me."

Yan Mo: "Who told you that someone is going to arrest you?"

"." The servant peeked at Yan Mo and murmured, "If I kill someone, someone will catch me. Run away!"

Yan Mo squinted his eyes: "How does the butler treat you?"

"Okay. The housekeeper won't scold me, won't beat me. He will buy me clothes," said the manservant, covering half of his face.

Yan Mo: "Where's the young master?"

Servant: "Young master hit someone! Bad!"

Thinking of the reactions of those mutilated girls and male servants, Yan Mo couldn't help making his nose sour, and said more coldly: "Did the young master hit you before?"

Servant: "In the past, the young master ignored people. I want to put away the spices and burn them."

"Use these spices to make incense!" Yan Mo pushed the spices in front of the servant and ordered.

The servant hesitated for a moment, picked up the spices clumsily and began to adjust the fragrance. His movements lacked precision, and the powder of the spices would always spill out, and the selected ingredients did not meet the fragrance recipe. He only used a spoon and no other tools during the whole process. .
Yan Mo showed Cheng Xiang to Qing Muhui, seeing the other party shaking her head, she turned her head and said: "No, match it again!"

After repeating this for three or five times, the incense that the manservant dispensed was different each time, obviously he didn't know how to mix the incense.
Yan Mo: "Where does your mist come from?"

Servant: "I stole the young master's incense"

It suddenly occurred to Yan Mo that Fang Liulang had Mixiang, and the manservant had always called the Mihun Incense Mixiang, and it was very likely that he couldn't tell the difference between the two kinds of incense.

At this time, the jailer brought the servant's belongings, Yan Mo walked out of the cell door and began to search.
Among them were two small pots of ecstasy incense, a bag of broken silver, and a few changes of clothes. Because the manservant had been exposed to spices all year round, there was a mixture of fragrances on the clothes, and there was nothing similar to a defensive sachet.

Yan Mo asked Lan Bo: "What are the ingredients in the defensive incense?"

Lan Bo: "Using sandalwood as a primer, supplemented with perilla, milk, black leek, frankincense, and lemon leaves."

"Brother Qingmu, if you smell it, you may be able to tell what kind of fragrance it is?" Yan Mo picked up a piece of clothing and handed it to Qingmu Hui.

Aoki Hui sniffed it carefully: "Except for frankincense and a little lime, the other scents are too mixed, I'm not sure"

Lan Bo: "Lime fragrance can replace lemon leaves, Wangfei, frankincense and lime fragrance alone can resist part of the effect of ecstasy fragrance, not to mention wearing this underwear for a long time, the fragrance will be absorbed by the body."

Hearing this, Yan Mo pulled Qing Muhui into the prison cell, and sniffed the servant's clothes closely. Seeing this, the prince and Qi Ming both wanted to stop it but it was too late, the brothers could only frown and sigh.
Yan Mo: "I can't smell anything except the smell of sweat."

Aoki Hui: "Yes, there is a slight sour-sweet fragrance. It is basically certain that the defense comes from the clothing."

Yan Mo thought about how to let the housekeeper show his feet.
Aoki Hui: "The head of the family, the servants don't know how to distribute incense. The defensive incense can only come from the person who gives the incense."

Hearing this, Yan Mo had an idea, exhaled a dirty breath and said, "It seems that we are going to put on a show again! Mr. Fu Yin, where is the butler?"

Jing Zhaoyin: "In the lounge in the backyard, his head was injured and he is not suitable to move."

"That's just right. When we go out, everyone will pretend to be intoxicated by the incense, and let the jailer shout, saying that the servant has escaped, and he still has the incense on him! Pick someone who is about the same size as him, and put on clothes " Yan Mo pointed to the male servant, picked up a bottle of enchanting incense and said, "Use this incense to stun the housekeeper."

"Yes." Jing Zhaoyin bowed.

After a while, in the lounge in the backyard, the housekeeper was lying on the bed and resting, when he heard a noise outside, he opened his eyes in shock, and heard the shouts of the officials
"Hurry up! The servant has escaped! He still has ecstasy incense in his hand! Be careful everyone!! Everyone, follow me to hunt down!!"

"Yes!!"

"Ah!"

"Hold your breath!!! Ah!!!"

After a few breaths, it was instantly quiet outside.
The butler got up slowly, came to the door, tremblingly opened a crack, and saw the white smoke curling up outside, he quickly grabbed the necklace and sachet under the skirt of his clothes! !

The servant suddenly appeared at the door!Then came a handful of incense powder! !

The housekeeper hurriedly closed the door, took out the sachet and sniffed it vigorously! !He frantically looked for the window, muttering in his heart, why did people run out? ! !He saw that it was still clear outside the window, so he hurried to climb the window! !The butler who finally escaped supported his head, and within a few steps, he saw several people walking towards him in a daze.
"It's reversed!" The butler said nervously, "I'm addicted to killing and killing!!" He carefully passed the few people advancing by the machine, and found that it was Jing Zhaoyin and several nobles who blocked his nose with a necklace and sachet , moved to the gate
The sluggish Yan Mo slowly turned his head and leaped away!After a few steps, she flew through the air, and quietly stopped in the front yard, waiting for the housekeeper, and the white mist slowly surrounded her
Qi Ming and the prince followed closely behind, standing still not far from the white mist. The two of them worked together to create a wind of internal force, and King Xing followed his two elder brothers in a helpless manner, helping to create a small cloud of wind. The whirlwind, the ecstasy and white mist are dissipating
The housekeeper stopped while running, because he saw Zhongxiang's official servant fell to the ground, stood dumbfounded or lost consciousness, crying and laughing wildly, and there was a tall and tall figure blocking the way not far away! !

Yan Mo took out the defensive sachet, shook it, and said, "They have all been poisoned with ecstasy, I have this to stay awake, butler, why don't you have the incense?"

Lan Bo led the "manservant" forward, but the butler looked back and saw that it was not the manservant!

"That's right, he's not, but the clothes on him belong to the servants, but the clothes don't seem to be effective enough. He's also intoxicated. Sit down." Yan Mo took a step forward and ordered the fake servant, and the other Sitting on the ground obediently, his eyes were blank.

The butler secretly wanted to hide the necklace and sachet: "Slave. Slave is."

"Bold slave!!" Jing Zhaoyin jumped out from behind Qi Ming and the prince, and shouted, "If you didn't know the formula of the ecstasy incense, where would you get the fragrance solution?!! You got the stolen goods, do you still want to argue? Come on! People! Take him to the lobby!!"

The footsteps of officials could be heard from a distance, they dragged the housekeeper into the lobby! !

After everyone was seated as they were, Jing Zhaoyin slapped the gavel: "Bring the servant and Fang Liulang!"

After all the staff arrived, Yan Mo stood in front of the presiding judge's desk and said coldly, "Fang's Housekeeper, did you say it yourself or me?"

The butler bowed his head to avoid the eyes of everyone, and remained silent.
Yan Mo: "That's up to me! Where were you when the servant committed the crime for the second time?"

Butler: "In the mansion."

Yan Mo: "Where is the mansion? What are you doing?"

Steward: "In the courtyard. At."

Yan Mo: "At that time, I smelled the incense of ecstasy in Mr. Fang's room. When the crown prince and King Yi'an broke into Fang's mansion, a group of servants stood in front of the gate. Presumably, these are all the housekeepers who have been managing the mansion all the year round—you At the same time, you gave the servant enough time to commit crimes and help him escape. Mr. Fang was intoxicated by the ecstasy incense and became unconscious. Taking advantage of this, he can’t justify himself if you do anything. It was the same as the first murder, if you capture a maid at random, the ecstasy incense in the room will also infect her, so naturally you can't testify, presumably this will really work out as you wish, and Mr. Fang will become the real culprit in this case. It's a pity "Mr. Fang is the one who caught me. I have strange Gu in my body, and ordinary poison and incense are not effective against me. Therefore, I have become Mr. Fang's most favorable alibi. You can not only hear it in the courtyard, but also listen to it." I can see it! Seeing that the situation is going unstable, you hurriedly informed the servant to escape, in order to cover up that you are the one who made the enchanting incense, so that the servant alone can take all the blame! I have to say, your scheming is good Deep!!"

"No! The slave is going to catch the servant!" The butler argued, "I was knocked out halfway by him!!"

Yan Mo walked up to the servant and asked, "Have you ever hit the housekeeper?"

Hearing this, the male servant shook his head desperately and said, "You can't hit me! Good housekeeper!"

When the housekeeper heard this, he was startled!
Yan Mo: "At first, I thought he was deliberately pretending to be lacking in intelligence, but now it seems that Mr. Fu Yin is right, the servant's intelligence is not like ordinary people, but you must have never thought that even if you are behind all this Guidance, he still regards you as a good person!"

The butler's eyes flickered, and there was no way to argue.
Yan Mo: "In order to create a manservant who is the one who makes the ecstasy incense, and to prevent yourself from being intoxicated, you mix preventive incense. You buy clothes for the manservant, soak the new clothes with preventive incense, and let him wear it next to his body. , Absorb the anti-incense ingredients, so that he will not be intoxicated by the incense, let him act freely and consciously, and you will escape the suspicion of being the mastermind behind the scenes!"

"The slave didn't let him kill!!!" The steward distinguished with a ferocious face, "The slave just gave him the ecstasy incense and asked him to light it for the young master! It was his own evil hands!"

"." Yan Mo said in a cold tone, "Why do you want to give Mr. Fang a ecstasy incense?!"

The housekeeper calmed down and said, "Master is away all the year round, his wife passed away early, and the young master was almost brought up by a slave! But he is obsessed with women besides making fragrances. Sound! The servant feels that the house is full of smoke!! From time to time, the servant also finds that the servants who serve close to him will also be affected by the young master and become restless." There are many ways to dissuade you, but the young master doesn't listen to the persuasion at all! There is nothing the slave can do, the young master shouldn't be like this!!!"

Yan Mo: "Just because he's not your ideal young master?!"

"That's right!" the butler choked up, "The slave got the ecstasy grass by accident, and made the ecstasy incense based on the ecstasy incense. The slave wanted to punish him!! So the servant gave him the ecstasy incense! ! The servant wants the young master to be obedient!!"

Hearing this, Fang Liulang's jaw almost dropped in surprise.
"But the slave doesn't know that the young master won't become a wooden person after being incensed, so the servant asked the male servant to increase the measurement. Unexpectedly, the young master started beating people madly, saying that we are all monsters!!" The butler turned numb and said, "But the male servant is very obedient. The servant will do whatever he is asked to do. If he is asked to serve the incense for the young master, he will serve the incense diligently. The servant accidentally discovered that he likes girls, so he thought of it and suggested him Followed Mrs. Qingyu to go shopping, and after coming down a few times, he really abducted the girl and came back. The slave wanted to plant the young master to touch the child, so that he would be hit and wake up. However, the slave did not expect that the male servant would actually do "

Yan Mo: "Are you disregarding the safety of those girls, disregarding their reputation, just to punish Mr. Fang?"

Butler: "The servant originally wanted to put the girl on the bed, but the servant acted very quickly and strangled one of them first."

"Why didn't you report to the police when you found out that the servant committed the crime?!" Yan Mo said sternly!

The butler shook his head and said: "The newspaper officer will definitely find out about this servant. The servant is still thinking about how to deal with this matter. The servant strangled another one. Later, the servant thought, that's fine, he was the one who killed him. Then let him bear the responsibility." All guilt!"

"You are an accomplice!!!" Yan Mo said coldly, "Those children are so innocent!! You know that the servants dismembered them, don't you feel moved?!"

"The one who kills is not a slave!!" The butler desperately defended, "The one who kills is not a slave!!"

Yan Mo: "You are the one who condoned the boy servant to kidnap the girl! You are the one who condoned him to commit another crime!! You killed two lives!!!"

　The source of inspiration for the strange fragrance case. Once, a grandmother living in the country met bad guys who sprinkled incense. She said that the two bad guys patted herself and saw a kind of powder, and then she didn’t know what she was doing. Wait for her After waking up, I vaguely remembered giving away all the money on my body. The family was glad that my grandma was not injured and did not investigate further. By the time I knew it, it had been a long time, and the monitoring in the countryside was not strict, so the matter was left alone.Then I checked the ingredients of the ecstasy drug on the Internet, and the widely circulated one is LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide), which is colorless and tasteless. I don’t know what drug my grandma used to psychedelic, and the price of LSD is quite expensive. These two villains used LSD to commit crimes, and the cost is not low. Although only one-tenth of a grain of sand is needed, LSD is enough to make people lose themselves!I think the bad guys should use something cheaper.This is how the Qixiang case came about. It was originally a very simple case. The villain deluded the elderly and children. For some reason, Fang Liulang suddenly appeared in my mind. He is a very beautiful man, like a poppy, beautiful and dangerous. Then the case was developed by me into what it is today. Mihuncao is a substitute for LSD, and there is no such thing in the world.The most fearful thing about nonsense stories is that the logical thinking is not thorough enough, especially for this type of investigation. Besides, I am a very casual writer. Originally, the case ended when the servant was captured. I really don’t know why!Butler is at the top of my mind! !Said that I was the mastermind behind the scenes, so the case changed again, and I was so worried that I didn't know how to prove the crime of the housekeeper.
