Chapter 112

Wang Mashi curled up on the ground in a very strange posture.

Not far from her, Ling An was still sitting at the corner of the wall, his brows were tightly frowned, and he felt a little annoyed, because after he came back from Luoyanpo, he saw Wang Mashi lying there motionless, but he didn't know when she had passed away. die.

I don't know what happened during the period of time I was away?
The masked man in black didn't leave either, and confronted Ling An, but neither of them stood still.

But Ling An forgot that he was still wearing the tattered clothes he bought from Wang Mashi.

The scholars around were attracted by Cha Xiaoer's exclamation, and ran over one after another.

These scholars all had a curiosity to watch the excitement, but they were all afraid to go forward, they just chattered around Wang Mashi until Gu Buquan and others rushed out from Xichen Tea House after hearing the news.

General Rong carelessly stretched out his hand to overturn Wang Mashi.

"Stop." Gu Buquan shouted.

All the scholars suddenly started discussing, how dare a little girl yell at General Rong of the Shenhun Division?

To everyone's amazement, General Rong actually stopped his hand, and even cupped his hands at Gu Buge.

"Miss Buquan, what's your opinion?"

Gu Buquan looked around Wang Mashi's body back and forth, then squatted down, and carefully turned Wang Mashi over.

Wang Ma's hands were tightly covering his abdomen, his body curled up into a ball, his facial expression was very painful, his teeth were tightly closed, white foam overflowed from the corners of his mouth, and a strong garlic smell choked his nose.

She immediately sniffed, squeezed her throat, and listened to Wang Mashi's chest, shook her head, and was sure that she was dead.

"The smell of garlic is the poison of arsenic." After all, General Rong is a member of the Shenhunsi, and he has seen this kind of situation many times, so he can tell it at a glance.

"En." Gu Buquan nodded, and frowned again.

Just now when she was lying on Wang Mashi's chest, she smelled a very faint fragrance. In Wang Mashi's situation, shouldn't she be able to wear perfume?Could it be that she met a woman before she died?Or was the murderer a woman?
She immediately thought of Bai Wuchang who was playing the piano, but quickly denied her own thoughts. Bai Wuchang was always playing the piano in front of the door, and she was the kind of elusive person who would not use perfume to leave any traces on herself.

"Miss Buquan?" Seeing that Gu Buquan hadn't moved for a long time, General Rong called out, and then she woke up.

"I know that the girl is so intelligent that even Mr. Yu, who is scheming and calculating, is no match for you, but I didn't expect that the girl is so courageous, she is not afraid of the dead." General Rong said.

"Sometimes coffin sellers collect corpses for people, it's just too often."

She stretched out a palm naturally, and took it back after a while, feeling at a loss.

Usually at times like this, Nubby would immediately and silently pass the tweezers into her hands.

She knew in her heart that he must be nearby, but he was Ling An, not a fool.

None of the onlookers could understand her thoughts, let alone the carefree General Rong.

She glanced left and right, and could only tear off one of the broken straw mats, picked at the white foam, and then searched carefully on the ground, and sure enough, she found half a piece of leftovers under the broken straw mat. Green tea cake, in addition to powdered sugar, there are some other powders on the cake.

It was arsenic.

"This amount of poison is enough to kill a cow." Gu Buquan sighed.

She took the green tea cake and sniffed it vigorously, and her keen nose caught a hint of the aroma of wine.

Although the taste of the wine is very light, but the wine and arsenic complement each other to accelerate the time of poisoning.

It seems that the murderer is determined to put Wang Mashi to death.

Wang Mashi has been looking for a husband in the capital for three years without success. Although she lives on the streets and does not freeze to death or starve to death, someone suddenly wants to put her to death. Why?
Gu Buquan raised his eyes to look around, his eyes just touched Ling An at the corner of the wall, he was startled, and immediately looked back.

At this time Ling An also looked at Gu Buquan in a daze.

A figure of a woman who was serious about autopsy appeared in his mind, how similar was that focused expression to Gu Buquan in front of him!

He was a little confused, he didn't know if it was his memory or the idiot's at this moment?Or, at this moment, is he Ling An or a fool?
I was a little confused for a while.

"Hey, old beggar." General Rong was thick and thin, and soon noticed Ling An who was watching quietly in the corner, and shouted at him.

Ling An was stunned, and immediately curled up.

"I see that the clothes you are wearing are women's clothes. Did you snatch them from Mrs. Wang Ma?"

Ling An shook his head and buried his face in his knees.

"Beggars, beggars, tattered clothes and food. Why don't you eat green tea cakes? Tell me, did you know it was poisonous? Tell me, did you inflict the poison? Hurry up and tell the truth, or the gods will make your life worse than death." "

General Rong reached out to lift Ling An's neck, but he avoided it with a tilt of his head.

"Why, you are still a master who refuses to suffer?"

General Rong became furious, he was stopped by Gu Buquan when he wanted to teach the beggar a lesson, and even took away a copper coin from him, why don't you take the opportunity to show him some color this time?
Unexpectedly, Sun Xiaokong rushed over at this moment, scratching and biting General Rong.

It is very close to Ling An, how can he be bullied?
The beggar, who looked old and lame, took the opportunity and galloped away.

The ragged clothes fluttered down from the roof, just covering General Rong's head, and it took a long time to tear it off.

It was too embarrassing in front of everyone.

"General Rong, he is a beggar, what are you doing with him?"

Gu Buquan couldn't help shaking his head, this is not at all what a general of the Shenhun Division should look like.

She looked around at the scholars and said: "Ms. Wang Ma has been inquiring about her husband's whereabouts in front of Xichen Tea House these days. You have also generously donated money to help her. Does anyone remember who gave her green tea cake?"

The scholars shook their heads.

"All those present stand up for me, and none of them are allowed to leave. The murderer must be among you."

Immediately afterwards, General Rong let out another shout, which stunned the surrounding scholars.

All the scholars were in a cloud of fog and shouted that they were wronged, but the strange scholar laughed.

"The Buddha said that evil karma should not be handed over. Let me tell you not to make karma with others at will, let alone a beggar woman. You think you are generous, but you have formed a sinful karma unknowingly. It seems that you have folded yourself into it. Now It’s hard to argue with each of them.”

This scholar is so stubborn that he makes Wang Mashi cry, and always laughs at other scholars. Now that there is a murder case, he is acting strangely, but the scholars have nothing to do with him. They are all angry but can't refute. .

"This green tea cake is specially made by Xichen Tea House. If I can't get in, I can't eat it. Even if I am lucky enough to get one or two, why don't I eat it and give it to the beggar woman? What a joke!" The strange scholar said again.

Cha Xiaoer also said: "What this young master said is true. Because the green tea cake is made of the best Longjing, there is a fixed amount every day, and it will be gone after eating. I can't even eat a bite, so how can I?" Someone gave it to the beggar woman?"

Although the strange talker wrote a lot of strange words, he instantly woke up Gu Buquan.

His words are not without reason, the green tea cake is indeed a delicacy specially provided by Xichen Tea House, who would give it to a beggar who has never met before?Unless it was intentional to poison her.

Then the murderer is likely to be someone who entered the tea house.

"It's not you, who would it be..."

General Rong glanced at these timid scholars, he was really a little annoyed, he laughed so loudly just now, but now he is all sluggish when he is eccentric, making people feel furious when he sees them.

"An old beggar..." General Rong muttered.

"She's not an old beggar." Gu Buquan said, "She's Wang Mashi who came to look for her family."

As Gu Buquan said, he couldn't help feeling a pang of sadness in his heart, only knew that her husband's name was Wang Zesheng, but no one knew her own name.

Who knows who Wang Mashi is?

"Whoever she is, it's just an unimportant nameless female corpse. This is not under the control of the arresting officer. Report it to the Jingzhao government office and let them toss about it."

Listening to General Rong's tone, he wanted to shirk it again, so Gu Buquan couldn't help feeling a little anxious.

"However, if it falls on the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion, nothing will happen. Last time, the unnamed male corpse at Luoyanpo..."

General Rong waved his hand impatiently, "The case of the unknown male corpse was not solved last time, isn't it just for them to solve it together?"

Gu Buquan looked at Wang Mashi's body and thought for a while, "Then I have to ask Master Shang Shu, if there is a murder case, do you want to investigate?"

After saying that, he turned his head angrily and left.

General Rong sneered with his mouth curled up, Master Shang Shu didn't know that Director Lu was very upset recently, and he didn't want to get involved in any other cases except Taozhuang.

Unexpectedly, Gu Buquan took two steps, then turned back, his eyes fell on Wang Mashi's mouth, and the brows were suddenly furrowed.

When a person is poisoned, has unbearable abdominal pain and difficulty in breathing, he must open his mouth to breathe and call for help.

But Wang Mashi gritted his teeth tightly, seemingly holding back the pain and refusing to make a sound, and his expression seemed more sad than painful.

why?
