Demon detective

Chapter 144
late at night.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and everything is silent.

In a fairly tidy bedroom, Xu Zhen was checking the information collected during the day with Qin Yin.

In just one afternoon, Qin Yin recorded a thick stack of materials.

It included the family information and detailed information of Meng Qinghui's family, as well as the information of all the people who attended the wedding banquet that year, and even took the time to register and make a book for Li Youcai's subordinates.

"Master," Qin Yin followed Xu Zhen's appellation as the young daughter-in-law Youmeng, "With these information, can you find out who poisoned you?"

Xu Zhen checked the information, shook his head slightly after a while, and said casually, "It's not that easy."

"Oh." Qin Yin didn't dare to speak nonsense anymore, so she could only look at Xu Zhen quietly, her big Kazilan eyes were bright and moving.

"Qin Yin," Xu Zhen asked, "Have you heard of such a powerful poison?"

"No," Qin Yin quickly shook her head, "Put the poison alone in a glass of wine, it may be able to achieve that effect, but it has never been heard that it can kill so many people in a wine tank."

Gee...

Yes, Xu Zhen was also confused. Such a strong poison was not even recorded in "Xuan Dao", and even Li Chan'er who came from Jianghu had never heard of it.

Yaochang Village is only engaged in the business of drug sales, but has nothing to do with poison.

Therefore, Xu Zhen had a bad feeling that such a rare poison might not be owned by the people.

In that case, the case would be really difficult to solve!

"Master," Qin Yin asked timidly, "let's... um... what should we do if we can't find the murderer?"

"Oh?" Xu Zhen raised his head, only to find that Qin Yin was restless all the time, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I...I just don't want to stay in this kind of place for too long," Qin Yin said worriedly, "It's so dark here, you see those people look so scary."

"What?" Xu Zhen was surprised, "Aren't you an expert in disguise? Are you still afraid of this? Besides, those people are not bad people, they are just victims."

but……

Xu Zhen turned to think that the yin energy in Yaochang Village is indeed heavy enough.

So many people died three years ago, and Meng Shaojun's family died a few days ago. Could it be... really bad feng shui?

As soon as he thought of this idea, he couldn't help but think of the white fox again.

At the sight of a white fox, thousands of graves rise.

I don't know where this legend came from...

Xu Zhen naturally didn't believe this kind of nonsense, and immediately picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and turned his eyes to those materials.

"I've never changed into such a scary look," Qin Yin said with a worried face, "Master, I'm so scared, can I sleep with you later?"

puff……

The sip of tea that I just drank was spit out in an instant.

After spraying, he realized that he had lost his composure.

Although his child bride-in-law, Youmeng, has been upgraded to a full-fledged wife, it is a matter of course if she wants Qin Yin, who is a maidservant, to serve her bed, and Youmeng will not have any objections.

In the Daxuan Dynasty, serving the Patriarch was one of the jobs of maidservants. Of course, once they were favored by the Patriarch, they would also have the opportunity to improve their status and change from maidservant to concubine.

In fact, in the homes of ordinary rich families, it would be considered a very shameful behavior to buy a beautiful woman like Qinyin as a maidservant.

But Xu Zhen is not a big family, so it doesn't matter.

In fact, even if it is really a rich family, Yi Xuzhen's personality doesn't matter.

At this moment, seeing Qin Yin's longing eyes, Xu Zhen straightened his posture immediately, and said very solemnly: "Okay, let's not make an example!"

Xu Zhen is not a saint. In order to integrate into this world as soon as possible, he has to go to the countryside and follow the customs, right?

However, Qin Yin got under the covers early and waited for him, but he didn't rush to follow behind.

Maybe he was a little embarrassed, but he went through the case from the beginning as usual.

It had to be said that the mass poisoning case in Yaochang Village was more difficult than he had imagined.

First of all, the purpose of the murderer's poisoning seems unclear.

Xu Zhen couldn't be sure whether the poisoning was aimed at Meng Qinghui alone, or at Meng Qinghui's family, or at all of them in Yaochang Village?

If it is the former, then all those who have enemies with Meng Qinghui's family should be thoroughly investigated.

But three years ago, they checked all of them, and they didn't find the suspect.

If it's the latter, then it's important to find out who has a problem with Yaochang Village!
However, Xu Zhen asked Lizheng today, and they said that Yaochang Village has been in the medicinal material business for a hundred years, and there is no conflict with other villages.

Moreover, after Meng Qinghui's family had an accident, the Meng Shaojun's family from the same village took over. It was not heard that anyone from the outside world benefited from Meng Qinghui's family.

This external vendetta does not seem to be taking shape either.

The second point is the root cause of the poison.

If the poison does not come from the people, where else can it come from?

Could it be... the imperial court?

No, Xu Zhen immediately denied it, because it was too simple for the court to set up a rich private businessman like Meng Qinghui, and there was no need to use such complicated methods.

But if it wasn't the imperial court, where did the poison come from?
Finally, there is one more crucial point.

So how did the murderer poison it?
According to the current information, all those who participated in the wedding banquet that year confirmed that no strangers showed up on the day of the accident, and even the cooks and helpers were from the village.

Therefore, they were more inclined to believe that the poisoner was an acquaintance who attended the wedding banquet!
Who could this person be?
……

After a sweet and warm night, Xu Zhen felt much more relaxed.

The sound of the piano really has a unique legacy of the East China Sea, which gave Xu Zhen an extraordinary experience.

In this way, Xu Zhen has also achieved the original goal of walking with the music of the piano, and indeed enhanced understanding.

Of course, a good experience is a good experience, and the work has to continue.

The next day, the investigation work was escalated, and Xu Zhen made multiple work arrangements in succession.

First of all, under the witness of Xu Zhen, Li Zheng, and Bao Zheng, Qin Yin registered Meng Shaojun's family property in detail, in case someone is still thinking about Meng Shaojun's family property.

Secondly, Xu Zhen asked the villagers to help draw two maps, one is the overall map of their medicine field village, and the other is the floor plan of Meng Qinghui's house back then.

Next, Xu Zhen found a room and began to conduct individual inquiries with all the people who had attended the wedding banquet that year.

While inquiring, Xu Zhen also indicated the living location of the corresponding person from the two maps, as well as the seat where the person attended the wedding banquet that year.

Whether it was Lizheng or Baozheng, they had never seen such an investigation, and they all felt very fresh.

However, they feel fresh, but for Xu Zhen, it is a boring and helpless bad policy.

Still the same sentence, no photos of the crime scene, no autopsy report, not even a file. Now that time has changed, he can only start from scratch...
