Lady Wan Guan

Jiang Wan Ning changed into men's clothes and went to the weapons inspection room with Xing Feng.

Zheng Guan, who was squatting near the gambling house, saw pigeons flying in the house behind the gambling house.

Immediately mount your horse and chase the pigeon in the direction it flew.

He chased him out of the north city gate, but the pigeon was already gone, feeling annoyed.

He saw Mo Yu coming on horseback and throwing something towards him.

Zheng Guan subconsciously reached out to catch it. When he saw it, he was overjoyed: "Mo Yu, you are still the best."

Mo Yu's face was expressionless. Isn't this a joke?

Since the lifting of the ban, he has been assigned by the adults to assist Zheng Guan. Zheng Guan had noticed that there were carrier pigeons coming in and out of a house near the gambling house, and they were all heading north.

This morning, Zheng Guan saw a pigeon flying over and decided to bet that the pigeon would reply, so he asked him to wait outside the North City Gate. When he saw a pigeon flying by, he immediately shot it down.

Zheng Guan untied the small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's leg and pulled out a roll of paper.

I saw it read... The ore was inspected, please be careful, and the signature was painted with the sun and the moon.

Zheng Guan was excited: "Mo Yu, let's go find the adults right away."

Gu Zhouting had already checked Qian Jiancheng's body. Qian Jiancheng died in his duty room, lying on the desk with bleeding from all his orifices. There was also a teapot and a teacup on the table.

Use a silver needle to test the remaining tea in the cup. The silver needle quickly turns black.

He died by taking poison.

Jiang Wanning arrived quickly: "What's wrong?"

Gu Zhou stopped and pointed at the teacup: "It should be crane-top red."

Jiang Wanning picked up the teacup and smelled it, then dipped a silver hairpin into some of the blood on Qian Jiancheng's face and sniffed: "It is indeed crane crown red."

"I'll check the body."

Gu Zhou stopped calling Lai Zuo: "You assist Mr. Jiang in the autopsy."

Wu Zuo didn't dare to have any objections, and he honestly helped this young and outrageous Mr. Jiang Ning.

The men over there came down and reported: "My lord, we have all interrogated you. No outsiders came to see Qian Jiancheng this morning. Only Inspector Liu and the servant responsible for delivering tea went in and out of Qian Inspector's office. But after Inspector Liu left, Qian Jiancheng also asked the servant to serve tea, and the servant said that the tea was brewed by him himself, so it could not be poisonous."

Gu Zhou stopped and nodded, looked at the ground, squatted down and touched a little yellow powder on the ground with his fingers.

"Put your feet up and let me take a look."

The men didn't know why and raised their feet.

Gu Zhou stopped and said, "It's better to take off your shoes."

The subordinate was embarrassed: "My lord, this subordinate... I have smelly feet."

"hurry up."

The men had to take off their boots.

Gu Zhouting took the boots and looked at the soles. There was gray but not yellow dust on the soles.

"Go and see if there is any yellow ash on the soles of Supervisor Liu and the servant who brought the tea."

"Yes." The subordinate turned around and remembered that his boots were still in the adult's hands.

"grown ups……"

"Anything else?"

"Boots." His hand pointed to the boots in his hand.

Gu Zhouting returned the boots to him. The men put on their boots and left quickly.

Gu Zhouting closed his eyes and imagined in his mind that there were blue bricks and slates along the way from the entrance of the Arms Supervisor to Qian Jiancheng's duty room. It was impossible to get yellow ash, which would only remain if he stepped on the yellow mud. Leave such a mark.

There has been a drought recently, and the yellow mud has dried up.

Gu Zhouting seemed to have thought of something. He walked around the duty room and found a small garden behind the duty room. There were two newly planted camellias in the small garden because there were signs of new turning in the soil.

Gu Zhou stopped and searched near the camellia, and sure enough he found several footprints that were consistent with the footprints left in the duty room.

"My lord, my lord..." His men were looking for him.

Gu Zhou paused and responded: "Here."

The subordinate heard the sound and came over: "Sir, I checked the soles of their shoes and found no yellow ash."

Gu Zhou stopped and pointed at the wall: "Climb over the wall and go out to see where it is outside?"

The subordinate said: "Sir, there is an alley outside this wall. Going out to the left is Blacksmith Alley, and going out to the right is Tilan Alley."

Gu Zhouting raised his eyebrows: "Are you familiar with this?"

The subordinate said: "I lived in Tilan Alley before."

Gu Zhou paused and said, "Go and ask, has anyone with any familiar face entered or left the alley outside between three o'clock and three o'clock?"

It was the time for the servants to deliver tea. At that time, Qian Jiancheng was still alive. At three o'clock, it was the time when his people came to arrest Qian Jiancheng, only to find that Qian Jiancheng was dead.

After Gu Zhouting gave his orders, he came to the side room that was temporarily used as the autopsy room.

Jiang Wan Ning was staring at the back of the deceased.

"What did you find?"

Jiang Wan Ning said: "Sir, look, there is a tiny pinhole here."

Gu Zhouting leaned over and saw that there was indeed a tiny pinprick three inches below Qian Jiancheng's left shoulder. It was easy to miss it if you didn't look carefully.

"Do you think this pinhole was the cause of Qian Jiancheng's death?"

Jiang Wanning muttered: "People who take Hedinghong will experience severe abdominal pain before death. They will subconsciously grab things around them, such as buckling on the table or the ground. They will fall to the ground, roll, and crawl in pain... ...But nothing around the deceased was messy, even the papers were stacked neatly, and the person was lying on the table. There is only one possibility, the deceased could not move after taking the poison."

"Judging from the fact that there is no blood on the body of the deceased, there are two possibilities for being unable to move. One is that acupuncture points were tapped, and the other is that he was first poisoned to paralyze the nerves and then drank Crane's Crown Red. I prefer the latter. , this pinhole is evidence. As for what kind of poison it is, I have to get some blood of the deceased to go back and test it to find out."

Gu Zhouting nodded slightly: "I found the way the murderer came in. He came over the wall from the small garden at the back. The soles of his shoes were stained with dust from the newly turned soil. I have asked people to go to the alley behind to find out if there are any strangers. In and out.”

Although it is difficult to find the murderer based on this alone, many strangers come and go in Tilan Alley and Blacksmith Alley every day.

At this time, Zheng Guan and Mo Yu came.

Gu Zhouting saw Zheng Caring thinking and asked, "Is there something going on?"

Zheng Guan handed over the secret message: "Sir, this is the secret message carried by the carrier pigeon released from the house opposite the back door of the gambling house this morning. Mo Yu typed it down."

Gu Zhouting read the secret letter and handed it to Jiang Wanning.

"Have you ever found out the details of the owner of the house?"

"My subordinates have found out all the residents near the gambling house. The house was rented by a man named Mu En three years ago. He doesn't know what he does for a living. I haven't seen the owner of this house since I started monitoring the area. There is only one mute old servant who goes out to buy groceries every day.”

Jiang Wanning on the side suddenly said: "Sun, Yue, could it be Mr. Ming?"

Gu Zhouting looked at her sideways: "Who is Mr. Ming?"

Jiang Wan Ning told the third brother Jiang Shi’s discovery.

Gu Zhouting had a stern look on his face. He was trying to get hemostatic medicine and wound medicine, and he was also trying his best to get refined iron and steel from Daqi. They were all urgently needed during the war. Could it be that this person named Mu En was placed in Daqi by the Great Shu Kingdom? Qi's meticulous work?
