Chapter 110 I Know Who Poisoned

"Come on, you go out with me!" Cao Jingxiu suddenly opened his eyes wide. He felt that the village chief's family was under suspicion that could not be removed.

Anxiously pulling Chang Xi to run outside, Chang Xi was dragged away all the way.

Chang Xi panted heavily while running.

"Hey, slow down, don't worry, why did the village chief's family poison Mrs. Cao? It's unreasonable!"

When the village head heard that Cao Jingxiu was recuperating at her home, she took the initiative to visit her. She knew that the village head wanted to win over the Cao family, but now she said that they poisoned her.

Cao Jingxiu didn't think deeply, but just ran forward.

Without turning his head, he said, "People in the world say that people's hearts are separated from their stomachs. I don't know if they did it on purpose. We have to ask them face to face."

"I want a truth."

Chang Xi echoed: "I also need the truth. This is the key to curing diseases and saving lives. I am as anxious as you, but!"

Chang Xi's small body hugged Cao Jingxiu's arm, forcing the people in front to stop.

"We rush over there, we will only startle the snake."

Cao Jingxiu didn't break free, and quietly listened to Chang Xi's words.

"Let's change our identities and think about it. If we were the poisoners and now we saw everyone chasing us, would we be flustered, and what kind of reaction would we make immediately?"

In his thinking, imagining himself in the same place, and pushing backwards, Cao Jingxiu suddenly changed the direction of running.

"We won't go to the main hall anymore. The main hall is connected to the garden, and there is a small kitchen outside the garden. Let's look over there to see if there is any artificial dumping of debris!"

Chang Xi couldn't help nodding, she agreed with this idea.

After sinking their minds, they failed to control the situation at the scene at the first moment when the incident happened.

If she was a bad guy, and she just went to the banquet now, and she couldn't find any clues, the bad guys would try their best to destroy the evidence.

Chang Xi trotted along, the two of them held hands tightly, and she was holding the skirt with her other hand to prevent herself from stepping on the skirt and tripping over it.

Just like this, I ran through several Chaoshou verandahs, and finally stopped.

The two separated their hands, their palms sweating slightly, Chang Xi took out a handkerchief and wiped it, and finally handed it to Cao Jingxiu.

Seeing that he didn't answer, but was in a daze, Chang Xi asked suspiciously.

"Hey, what are you thinking again? Hurry up and wipe your hands. After wiping, we will start looking separately."

Chang Xi's urging voice rang in his ears, Cao Jingxiu moved slowly, still hesitating whether to answer it, Chang Xi grabbed his hand without any explanation, and wiped it for him.

After wiping it clean, she put the handkerchief back into her sleeve and said complainingly, "Isn't this all right? Let's start looking."

She didn't understand what Cao Jingxiu was writing in ink just now.

Chang Xi and Cao Jingxiu's goal is something related to yellow. They didn't get anything here, but Cao Wu on the other side made an unexpected discovery.

Cao Wu flew down from which roof, and landed on the ground almost without any sound.

"I've seen your son."

Cao Wu's words sounded abrupt to Chang Xi. The family's servants were all gathered in the outer courtyard, and the guests were all gathered in the main room. It was really an exception that Cao Wu could appear here freely.

Chang Xi and Cao Jingxiu looked at him together, and Cao Wu continued.

"The old lady fell down suddenly, and my subordinates have been watching everyone secretly on the roof. I found that Chang Xi's cousin was acting suspiciously."

"She returned from the old lady's yard, and she didn't follow her grandma in the main hall, but wandered around alone."

"What's different from her is that the guests from other houses stand together one by one, and no one walks around alone."

"What does this mean?" Cao Jingxiu asked in a deep voice.

Cao Wu shook his head: "I don't know, I just thought her reaction was a bit strange, so I came here to say something."

A shrewdness flashed in Chang Xi's eyes: "Can it be understood that she has a guilty conscience? She is afraid of uneasiness, so she walks around?"

"That's an explanation. If the person who poisoned was your cousin, then her behavior reflects that the poison was not dealt with." Cao Jingxiu refocused his eyes and energy on the main hall, and the three gathered together to discuss.

"The two of us had a split just now."

"Since we have a target person, why don't we scare the snake away, and let her mess herself up, maybe she will show her flaws."

Cao Jingxiu proposed this, but Chang Xi shook his head: "It's still not safe, I want to go to the back kitchen to check the banquet that was withdrawn just now."

"If the poison is not cleaned up, there must be traces in the food residue."

Cao Jingxiu said again: "Alright, I'll let Cao Wu follow you."

Chang Xi smiled and nodded: "I may not be able to gain something here, you should pay more attention to her when you go to the main hall."

At this moment in the main hall, all the guests in the inner courtyard had complicated expressions.Some people are worried about the old lady, while others are worried about themselves.

At this time, the servants of the whole family had interrogated him once, and the report from the outer court was fruitless, and the two wives in the inner court frowned in embarrassment.

You can't really question the guests one by one, can you?
There was a lady from the town who suggested at the side at this time.

"Why don't you invite the head of the yamen over here? This kind of murder of other people's lives is not a trivial matter."

When Chang Xiuzhu heard that they proposed to find an official, her heart jumped into her throat. She didn't expect the Cao family to move so fast. In the blink of an eye, everything inside and outside the house was clear.

Although the banquet just now hadn't been cleared, she couldn't take advantage of the messy tricks. She was trying to destroy the criminal evidence.

"Don't call the official, I know who the poisoner is."

With one sentence, Cao Jingxiu strode into the room.

Cao Jingxiu greeted everyone. He had discussed with Chang Xi on the road just now. Now that he said this, he locked Chang Xiuzhu tightly and watched for any changes in her expression.

Chang Xiuzhu was frightened by Cao Jingxiu's stare. She pinched herself hard, trying to calm down and find a way. Under Cao Jingxiu's probing gaze, Chang Xiuzhu broke her hand again.

She was careless. I didn't expect that Cao Jingxiu was only 14 years old, but he was so difficult to deal with. What does it mean that he stared at her with poisonous snake eyes?Is he testing himself?

Chang Xiuzhu forced out an ugly smile in return, and involuntarily moved closer to her grandma.

When her mind was going up and down, and countless thoughts were racing, Chang Xi and Cao Wu ran in one after another.

"I know what kind of poison the old lady has!"

Chang Xi's words startled everyone, and everyone present looked at her in unison, even Chang Xiuzhu turned their eyes away.

Chang Xi looked at Chang Xiuzhu with a ghostly smile.

"Cousin, the old lady once drank the tea you handed me, right?"

Everyone at the same table knew that Chang Xiuzhu bit the bullet and said yes.

"So what?" She asked in disbelief.

"The chrysanthemum tea you gave is highly poisonous!"

Chang Xi replied firmly, this sentence made all the guests present gasp.
