Chapter 34 The Real Murder Behind the Scenes

In this way, it is clear at a glance, Nan Yan gave Qi Yuhao a look, and Qi Yuhao understood.

"You, you..." Seeing that only her own palms were clean and the palms of others were pink, Yu Ranyue realized that she had been tricked and panicked.

"Nan Yan, you... how dare you plot against me." Yu Ranyue was ashamed and angry, pointing at Nan Yan with one hand, her eyes were frightened and angry.

Just now Nan Yan clearly said that the person who was not the real murderer touched the powder with his hands, and the palms would not change, but now everyone's palms were pink and white, only Yu Ranyue's hands were very clean.

"Miss, I didn't say that this medicinal powder is colorless!" Seeing that the real culprit didn't tell herself, Nan Yan let out a sigh of relief and laughed.

The smart Xiangmei put the palm of Bai Huahua's hand in front of her nose and smelled it, "This is the smell of white flour."

"That's right, it's just ordinary white flour. People whose palms touch it will naturally have white flour on their palms." Nan Yan explained with a smile.

"Sister Yan, you are so smart." Xiangmei patted her hands to wipe off the excess flour, and turned her head to look at Yu Ranyue angrily.

At this time, everyone's eyes were fixed on Yu Ranyue's body, and they couldn't help but sigh.

Yu Ranyue was completely panicked, she looked up at Qi Yuhao, frowned and said, "Yuhao, you have to trust me, I really didn't do it."

Qi Yuhao remained calm, turned around and no longer faced Yu Ranyue.

Nan Yan took two steps forward, bent down and reached out to touch a little flour, and said unhurriedly: "It's really just some flour, why would a murderer with a guilty conscience need to use real powder, not to mention that there is no reason to touch it. A medicinal powder that causes coloration when it reaches the mucus of snakes."

Yu Ranyue knew that paper could not contain fire, so she slumped on the ground, her eyes were empty.

"Sister Yan, I found this from her room." I don't know when Xiangmei, a little ghost, broke into Yu Ranyue's room, and trotted out holding a round basket with a lid in both hands.

This was the basket that contained the hundred-step snake. After opening it, there was still a fishy smell of snake inside.

"I, I really didn't know it would be like this... I didn't expect this snake to be poisonous. I thought it was just an ordinary non-venomous snake, just to scare her."

Yu Ranyue herself was also quite frightened, she really didn't think that this snake was extremely poisonous.No matter how bad-hearted she was, no matter how jealous she was of Nan Yan's beauty, at the age of 15, she never thought of poisoning Nan Yan to death with a snake.

"Ran Yue, after a while you go back to the house and pack up your things. I will send you back to General Yu tomorrow morning. As for this matter, I have to report to General Yu. As for how he will deal with you, I can't control so much. In the future Take care of yourself and don't do such insidious things again."

Although Qi Yuhao's tone was calm, it could be heard from his words that he was extremely disappointed with Yu Ranyue's actions.The previous quarrel between her and Nan Yan, Qi Yuhao thought it was just two little girls who were ignorant and messing around.But today's matter is related to human life, and Yu Ranyue's cruelty is beyond everyone's imagination.

"Yuhao, don't do this! I won't go back, I won't leave you..." Yu Ranyue got up from the ground crying, and went forward to shake Qi Yuhao's arm, "Believe me, I really didn't want to kill her , really not... I just wanted to scare Nan Yan with the snake, but I didn't know that the snake would be very poisonous!"

Yu Ranyue was out of breath from crying, and shook Qi Yuhao's arm desperately, but there was no response from the other party.

Aunt Zhang's family shook their heads and sighed, they didn't expect the daughter of the general in the capital to be so vicious.

Aunt Zhang hugged Nan Yan into her arms distressedly, thinking that if Nan Yan had been bitten by the hundred-step snake last night, she would have lost her human appearance by now.

"Yuhao, you also know that I encountered the poison of snakes in the military camp and almost died. Since that day, I have become more afraid of poisonous snakes. If I knew that the snake released last night would be poisonous, I would How dare you let it go? I'm afraid it's too late..." Yu Ranyue continued crying.

Qi Yuhao turned around, stared quietly at Yu Ranyue's weeping and slightly childish face, swung his right hand with a "huh", and hit Yu Ranyue hard on the left side of the face.

"This slap is for your second brother who is practicing in Buddhism. If he knows what you say and do now, he will be very disappointed after all." Qi Yuhao put away his right hand and stopped looking at Yu Ranyue, "Don't say anything anymore , pack your things and go."

This was the first time Qi Yuhao hit Yu Ranyue in his history. Even if he didn't love her very much, he did his best for her.This slap completely stunned Yu Ranyue, her crying stopped abruptly, and she stood there blankly, stroking her left cheek.

After a while, Yu Ranyue walked into the house with dejected steps, "I won't leave here, even if you kill me, I won't leave here... Yuhao, I won't leave..."

"Wait!" Nan Yan took two steps forward and stopped Yu Ranyue, "You keep saying that you don't know that this hundred-step snake is poisonous, so where did you get it?"

The source of the hundred pace snake must be known, Nan Yan thought to herself.In any case, go back to the roots.

Yu Ranyue ignored her and continued walking into the house.

"Come back!" Qi Yuhao suddenly said, "Answer Nan Yan's question."

In fact, Qi Yuhao also wanted to know where the snake came from, so that he could make a specific decision on this matter.

Qi Yuhao spoke, so there was no reason for Yu Ranyue to respond.

Yu Ranyue stopped in her tracks, sobbing, and began to tell the story of how she got the hundred-step snake.

Things started at noon the day before yesterday.Qi Yuhao, as usual, used Yu Ranyue's venomous snake's wound just healed and needed rest as an excuse, and he didn't want to take her out, so he went to the city by himself.Nanyan, Xiangmei and Aunt Zhang went to the fields to do farm work with hoes and other tools on their shoulders.

Yu Ranyue, who was bored, was the only one at home. She was sitting in the yard, kneading melon seeds, lazily enjoying the afternoon sun.

After a long time, a short, fat middle-aged woman and a young ugly man with a slight limp appeared at the entrance of the yard, looking inside from time to time.

Yu Ranyue was curious, so she stepped forward and asked angrily, "What are you looking at? What do you do? Why do you always look in at the gate of the courtyard?"

Seeing this, the short and fat woman smiled mischievously, "We sell snakes, snakes that can be used as vegetables. They are non-toxic and harmless. People will be energetic after eating them, and all diseases will be cured. Men eat them to be strong, and women eat them. beauty."

"Don't come here, it's not as mysterious as what you say. If you sell snakes, you sell snakes. Why do you want to look in my yard?" Yu Ranyue continued to ask impatiently.

"This is your house? No, when I came to sell snakes a few times ago, there was a hostess in this house. She was so handsome, she looked like a fairy. She would buy my snakes every time and go back to cook. .I just came to see her, to see if she wants to buy a snake." The short and fat woman said.

Yu Ranyue heard the description of the short and fat woman, the celestial beauty who likes to cook, that's Nan Yan, so she couldn't get angry.

"What are you talking about? How could she be the mistress of this house? I am the master of this house, and she is just a servant who serves others."

"Ah? Not the hostess, but she is the wife of the hostess of the house. How could she not be the hostess?" The short and fat woman asked deliberately.

"If it's not, then it's not. The host of this house is my man, so how could she have anything to do with her? She's just a servant, don't talk nonsense." Yu Ranyue became more and more angry when she heard what the other party said.

"Oh, so that's the case, we misunderstood." Then, the short and fat woman took the round bamboo basket and the crippled man was about to go back, "It seems that the last snake today can't be sold. .”

Yu Ranyue looked at their leaving backs, and suddenly thought about it.This Nanyan is not afraid of snakes, and even cooks with them?Since she is not afraid, it is better to get one to scare her at night, since it is not poisonous anyway.

This can be regarded as revenge for Nan Yan's opposition to him.

"Wait!" Yu Ranyue stopped the two of them, stepped forward and asked, "Is this snake really not poisonous, can it be eaten?"

The short and fat woman turned around and said with a smile: "Of course, of course, it's not the first time we've come out to sell snakes. Have you seen anyone in West Lake Village die from eating snake poison?"

How could Yu Ranyue have the time to verify these things? If the seller said it was not poisonous, then it was not poisonous.

"I want this last snake!" Yu Ranyue said, then took out a bit of silver from her pocket, and put it in the short, fat woman's hand.

Seeing that Qian's eyes widened, the short and fat woman happily closed her mouth from ear to ear, "Thank you girl, you are such a kind person. I even gave you the basket for this snake."

"Nonsense, I gave you so much money, why not give me the basket." She said angrily, and took the round basket with the snake in it.

What Yu Ranyue was afraid of were poisonous snakes, and knowing that the basket contained only ordinary grass snakes, she had no scruples.Just letting her grab the snake directly in her hand, she still felt terrified.

"The girl doesn't want to take the snake back to cook, does she?" the short and fat woman asked meaningfully.

"Whatever your business, you are a snake seller, why ask so many questions?" Yu Ranyue was very upset when she saw her mind being exposed.

The short and fat woman smiled and said, "Don't worry, girl, this snake is big, and it will be very useful if you use it to frighten people." Then, the short and fat woman led the lame young man beside her with a smile and walked away. .

After Yu Ranyue talked about what happened yesterday noon, Nan Yan and Qi Yuhao had a solid idea in their hearts.

"Does the crippled young man look alike to that short and fat woman?" Nan Yan asked with a frown.

Yu Ranyue nodded hesitantly.

"Okay, it's actually this pair of dog mother and son!" Nan Yan was already convinced that it was Wang's mother and son who did the good thing.

"You know them?" Yu Ranyue turned around, staring at Nan Yan with red eyes from crying.

"It's not just as simple as getting to know each other!" Nan Yan clenched her hands into fists, wishing she could crush the mother and son into meat paste.
