Chapter 295 Hu Qian's Murder Case ([-]) One More

Lin Huai immediately interjected:
"You didn't see that my third brother was seriously injured at that time, and Hu Qian was standing under the eaves in the hot weather, letting such a fat Mr. Song stand in the courtyard and be baked by the scorching sun!" Lin Huai gestured Song Fu's breadth: "My third brother was so angry that he stepped forward to question him. Hu Qian suspected that my third brother had no official position, and taunted him. My third brother was so angry that he vomited blood and fell down."

Guo Zheng and Lin Zhidong took a deep breath at the same time.

"Sir Song also fell down later, if there was no Doctor Wu, the two of them, alas!" Guo Yi added.

"At that time, I wanted to kill Hu Qian!" Lin Huai said angrily.

"Me too!" Feng Ming raised his head and said, "If anything happens to the son-in-law, Hu Qian must be decapitated! Our Feng team has never been secretive when we do things, and if we really want to kill him, we will never Let him live to Lishan County!"

Lin Zhidong was shocked.

Qin Wubing got up, clasped his fists at Guo Zheng and Lin Zhidong and said:

"Wu Bing knows that if he wants to find out this case, he cannot do without the help of the two adults. If the two adults have doubts about Wu Bing, it will be even more difficult to find out the case! Wu Bing boldly assumes that if I conspired with Princess Dachang to kill Hu Qian, where is the best place? It could be Xining, or the capital city, but it wouldn't be Lishan County!"

Lin Zhidong hurriedly asked: "Why?"

"Who does the eldest princess want to deal with, there is really no need to invest so much manpower and energy, travel thousands of miles, carefully plan... It is just to kill him, there is no need to be so troublesome, Xining and the capital have ready-made manpower, why bother? What's more, the eldest princess is not a willful person, this point, the emperor is far clearer than others! Otherwise, why let me come?"

Lin Zhidong's heart was shocked again, he suddenly figured out a logic, the matter of the emperor asking Qin Wubing to investigate the eldest princess is untenable!
But why did he think that this case was related to the eldest princess? The emperor asked Qin Wubing to come here just to reassure the eldest princess temporarily...

Guo Zheng frowned and looked at Lin Zhidong, who was in a trance, coughed lightly and said: "Captain Qin is worrying too much, although Mr. Lin and I arrived a few days earlier than you, I am ashamed to say that there are many arrests, but there is nothing wrong with it." No gain!"

"This is also what I can't figure out. Don't blame the two adults. I don't feel sick because I think the two adults are good, but I think the murderer... It doesn't make sense! I just went to the inn, and the yamen said that when they arrived at the scene, except for the dead body In that position, there are no other traces left on the bedding besides the traces of being used, which makes no sense!"

Guo Zheng leaned forward, earnestly waiting for Qin Wubing's next words.

"Although Hu Qian is getting older, he is not powerless. Unless the murderer used some means beforehand, the guest room could not be so clean! It is so clean that there is no water stain from the herbal tea..."

Lin Huai immediately interjected:
"The quilt on the bed is even more unreasonable. On a hot day, Hu Qian doesn't need a quilt no matter how weak his body is, especially since he just rests for a while instead of taking off his clothes and going to bed at night!"

Guo Zheng and Lin Zhidong nodded unconsciously.

Qin Wubing scratched his forehead and asked Lin Huai, "Why don't you say so?"

Lin Huai explained: "I'm afraid you've forgotten such an important matter. Mr. Lin obviously doesn't trust you, so I'm worried for you!"

Lin Zhidong moved his butt in embarrassment.

Qin Wubing discussed with Lin Huai: "I'll add it after I've finished talking, brother, can you see if it's okay?"

Lin Huai smiled and nodded.

Guo Yidao: "I looked at him, you talk about yourself."

Qin Wubing nodded and said:

"Once the train of thought is interrupted, it will take a lot of effort to find it! I just said that the guest room is too clean. Just imagine, Hu Qian drank herbal tea with arsenic, and his throat would burn. , a few drops of herbal tea dripping on the floor, even the tea bowl is quite normal, besides, it is impossible for him to drink a whole bowl of herbal tea without knowing it, and then lie on the bed to rest, waiting for the poison to develop, the bowl of herbal tea, Is there not much herbal tea left in it?"

"I have checked the inn carefully. No one will enter the house through the window or the roof. That is to say, the murderer cannot be an outsider. The guards couldn't hear the movement, but it was impossible for them to drink arsenic to Hu Qian without leaving a trace."

"These show that the murderer has enough time to clean up the scene! Who can be so leisurely? I deduced before that it was a follower. The follower who was killed in the cell today must be a participant, but why did the people behind the scenes kill them? And yes To kill on the day I arrive? Silence? The people behind the scenes would not have thought that the emperor would send me to investigate the case at the beginning, and I hadn’t arrived in Jinling at that time.”

Qin Wubing paused for a moment, then straightened his train of thought and continued:

"Let's make a bold assumption, which inn does Hu Qian live in? Do we have to go to Lishan County to do it? Thinking that the arsenic poisoning is just an illusion, what will be the cause of Hu Qian's death? What kind of cause of death would allow the murderer to be injected with arsenic while Hu Qian was still alive?"

"How do you know that Mr. Hu is still breathing after drinking the arsenic?" Lin Zhidong asked hurriedly.

"If you don't have gas, you won't vomit! The three people in the cell didn't vomit. They wanted to make the illusion of arsenic poisoning to cover up the real cause of death, and the real cause of death may point to the real murderer!"

Seeing that Qin Wubing stopped to look at Guo Zheng and Lin Zhidong, Lin Huai hurriedly asked the two of them, "Do you understand? What my third brother means is, for example, there is a kind of poison that only your family has, and after death, it is poisoned with arsenic." Sample……"

Lin Zhidong frowned and asked: "Who can buy the court's followers from the first-rank officials?"

Qin Wubing asked back: "How many followers did you arrest?"

"18 people! What's wrong?" Guo Zheng asked.

Qin Wubing chuckled and said:

"In the dungeon before, I glanced casually. It's not a coincidence. I know how many entourages Hu Qian has! When he left in Xining, he had 78 entourages in total, but there didn't seem to be so many in the cell. Followers, where did the missing followers go?"

Guo Zheng and Lin Zhidong were stunned.

Qin Wubing went on to say:

"Who can buy Hu Qian's entourage? The eldest princess may have this ability, but it's really hard for others to say, otherwise what are the entourages up to? One entourage is easy to buy, and so many bribes? This is not something ordinary people can afford. "

Guo Zheng asked: "What does Captain Qin mean, all the eighteen attendants were bought?"

"If I am the person behind the scenes, I must change them all. Otherwise, if there is a follower with a different caliber, it is very likely that the whole thing will be ruined."

After Qin Wubing finished speaking, the room was quiet for a moment.
