Forensic drug concubine

Chapter 88
Moreover, Yu Kun also said that Chu Zhiyan ordered him to check the people on these lists. They were all ordinary people, and the arsenic they bought was also useful, so there was nothing suspicious about it.

Mu Qingwan's expression darkened. Could it be that her investigation was in the wrong direction?

The poison that caused Zhang Liu's death was not arsenic but something else?

"Yu Kun, during the process of transporting the corpse from the princess mansion to the ice room, did anyone else touch the corpse?" Mu Qingwan asked.

Yu Kun thought for a while, then shook his head, "No."

"How did your son check the restaurant yesterday?"

"The people in the restaurant said that this man made a lot of money, and there was nothing weird about his words. He just said a few words that he made a fortune."

The more Mu Qingwan listened, the more she felt that there were no clues. Yu Kun suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, the man said that he heard this man say that he has an old lady living in the suburbs."

Mu Qingwan's eyes lit up, and she immediately said: "You ask your grandson's important person, and quickly find out where Zhang Liu's old lady lives."

"Yes." Yu Kun went back to report.

Mu Qingwan reached out and knocked on the table. Ling Niang came in from the outside. Seeing that Mu Qingwan was still sitting there thinking hard, she said, "Miss, eat something before you think about it. You haven't eaten well all day. If this continues, the case If I didn’t find out clearly, my body would be dragged down.”

As Lingniang said, she put the food on the table, Mu Qingwan came over, picked up the chopsticks and ate every mouthful, while Lingniang tidied up Mu Qingwan's flowers and plants.

While eating, Mu Qingwan suddenly heard Lingniang yelling, and asked, "Lingniang, what's wrong?"

Lingniang turned around and said, "Miss, this servant accidentally sprinkled your incense powder on this flower branch."

"Oh, it doesn't matter, just rinse with water." Mu Qingwan thought it was a big deal, she made such a fuss, she lowered her head and continued to eat while thinking, but suddenly stopped, face powder, flower branches...

That's right, although the corpse has not been touched during the whole process of guarding, it can be contaminated with deceptive poison through physical contact!

Thinking of this, Mu Qingwan quickly stood up and walked out quickly, and said as she walked: "Mo Zhuang, prepare the carriage, Man Yue, you go to Jin Wang's mansion to find the son, just say that I have him to discuss important matters, I am storing Zhang The ice room with six corpses is waiting for him."

"Yes, ma'am."

The carriage drove all the way to the Fuya Ice Room. As soon as Mu Qingwan got out of the carriage, the sound of horseshoes came to her ears. She turned her head to look and saw Chu Zhiyan leaping off the horse gracefully.

Mu Qingwan didn't talk nonsense, and said directly to Chu Zhiyan: "Arsenic is not the poison that killed Zhang Liu, it's just a black hand behind the scenes to mislead us. There may be other real poisons."

Chu Zhiyan hummed, "I would like to hear more about it."

Mu Qingwan walked inside, walked to the corpse and quickly removed Zhang Liu's shirt by herself. She turned Zhang Liu's body over, and compared the position of the wound, carefully inspected the inner garment.

Sure enough, there were a lot of white powders inside the underwear, and the parts close to the wound, because of the blood that flowed out, those white powders joined together into lumps.

Mu Qingwan scraped off the lump, then collected some white powder, and handed it to Chu Zhiyan: "These should be the poison that caused Zhang Liu's death."

Chu Zhiyan asked his subordinates to take the medicine powder to find someone to identify it, and then looked at Mu Qingwan: "How did you think of it?"

"coincide."

Mu Qingwan simply said two words, put the body back in its original place, and walked out of the ice room with Chu Zhiyan. Just as she stood firm, a man dressed as a yamen servant ran over, saluted Chu Zhiyan, and said: " I want to report to your son that someone has surrendered, claiming that he is the murderer of Zhang Liu."

Mu Qingwan and Chu Zhiyan raised their eyebrows when they heard the words, and the yamen servant said: "The lord of the government office asked the humble official to report this matter to the crown prince. If it is proved beyond doubt, the case will be closed."

"You go back first, my son will arrive later." Chu Zhiyan said.

The yamen servant saluted and then withdrew.

Doubt flashed across Mu Qingwan's eyes: "Has Yu Kun come back?"

"Soon." Chu Zhiyan glanced at Mu Qingwan, and said, "Would you like to visit the government office?"

Mu Qingwan nodded without hesitation: "Of course."

This matter was too strange, she had just figured out a little bit of it here, and someone turned himself in on the other side, and she couldn't figure it out no matter how she thought about it.

When the two of them came to the government office, they saw a thin and thin man kneeling in the hall, unkempt, like a beggar.

Seeing Chu Zhiyan approaching, Master Fu Ya immediately bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, this man said that he and Zhang Liu are from the same township, and because he hated Zhang Liu for picking up a lot of money a few days ago, he sprinkled it on Zhang Liu's clothes. Some itch powder wanted Zhang Liu to be unlucky, but who knew that he took the poison by mistake, which caused a catastrophe."

Mu Qingwan heard the words and looked at the man on the ground. The man's body was trembling, as if he had killed someone himself and was frightened.

Chu Zhiyan looked at the person on the ground, and asked in a cold voice, "You really took the medicine?"

The man trembled: "Yes... yes... villain."

"What poison did you inject?"

"Arsenic...arsenic..."

Chu Zhiyan looked at Mu Qingwan, and Mu Qingwan's brows were also slightly frowned. The matter was completely different from what she thought, so it seemed to be true on the surface, but it didn't make sense, and it didn't make sense anywhere. However, she But I couldn't find anything to refute.

Chu Zhiyan asked a few more questions, but he didn't find anything, so he asked Mr. Fu Ya to take the man who claimed to be the murderer into custody.

Coming out of the yamen, Mu Qingwan's brows were still furrowed, and Chu Zhiyan, who was following her, asked, "Do you think this matter is strange?"

"En." Mu Qingwan responded, "This case seems to be more complicated than I imagined."

Chu Zhiyan didn't speak, but actually he felt it from the very beginning, this matter was not as simple as it appeared on the surface, how could anyone who dared to do such a thing in the Princess's mansion be an ordinary person.

The two of them walked a few steps, Man Yue walked over quickly, and said to Mu Qingwan: "Miss, I just received the news that Mrs. Nie went to Mrs. Nie's mansion and stayed for a while before coming back."

"Nie Wenyuan?"

"Yes."

Chu Zhiyan on the side narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, and Mu Qingwan said, "Let's go home first."

"Yes."

Just when Mu Qingwan was about to get into the carriage, Chu Zhiyan rode over, called Mu Qingwan, and said, "After returning home, be careful, if you need anything, you can ask your maid to notify me at any time."

When Chu Zhiyan said this, his voice was deep, not like the usual tone when joking with Mu Qingwan.

A trace of surprise flashed in Mu Qingwan's heart, but she still nodded: "Thank you, my lord."

"No need." Chu Zhiyan watched Mu Qingwan's carriage leave, holding the whip and didn't urge the horse to move forward until Yu Kun rode over.

"My son, I'm dead." Yu Kun said in a low voice.
