Duguwei sat honestly in the prison, which was definitely a novel experience for him. In his conscience, the prison environment in Dali Temple was quite good. However, this kind of treatment may not last long.
After all, Di Renjie, Li Yuanfang and others just came to interrogate him, but he didn't say anything, which probably annoyed these people.
And...he also just found out that Mr. Ximen had been killed!
There was a hint of bitterness in the corner of Dugu Wei's mouth. This was probably his fate. He had a premonition before that he could not come back to the imperial capital, but he did not expect that the first person to leave was Mr. Ximen. No, it should be said that it was Ouyang Da and Zhang Xu.
Ao and Sun Bugong, haha, I really don’t know what they think. Aren’t you ashamed to come back?
A trace of disdain flashed in Duguwei's eyes. Human beings really cannot be compared with each other. Those who have lost their ideals regard the imperial capital as a place of sadness. If they have no choice, they will never come back. Some people just said it at the time.
I cried so sadly that I actually have no memory of it, and I don’t even take it into my heart.
Thinking of this, he let out a long sigh. Of course he had his reasons for not saying anything, but... his inner defenses were almost broken just now. He never expected that the girl would actually come, with that face, and
Her mother was exactly the same. For a moment, he almost thought that Sheng Dingtian's wife turned into a hungry ghost and came to seek her life!
Although he was not afraid of death, he did not want to die. After hearing what happened to Mr. Ximen and the three people, he had to consider whether to escape? But from a certain point of view, the prison of Dali Temple should be very safe.
Yes. It's not that the enemy can't get in. If they can do it in the Prince Consort's Mansion, then it's reasonable to kill people in the prison cell of Dali Temple. The reason why he said it's safe is because he feels that Zuo Zhou and others won't talk about his affairs everywhere.
The killer shouldn't know.
…
"This Duguwei's mouth is really tough. Sir, please don't punish me!" Yuchi Zhenjin was a little angry.
Zuo Zhou shook his head, "Zhuge Zheng and I have said so much, but I really don't know what part Dugu Wei is hiding?" It's a pity that the three coffins he brought did not scare Dugu Wei.
Di Renjie sat in the middle of the lobby, tapping his fingers on the table. After a while, he said: "Zhuge Zheng was not the murderer back then. Logically speaking, the crime in this matter has little to do with him, so the reason for concealing it is
It's just for the sake of the court's face. But Dugu Wei's concealment is a bit unjustifiable. The only explanation is that this incident is not just caused by the recklessness of people in the martial arts world from beginning to end. There may be other reasons, and Dugu Wei
You probably already know the reason."
Zuo Zhou answered, "Zhuge Zheng and I went to save people after learning about the action of the thirteen murderers. In other words, what else happened before that, and only the thirteen murderers knew about it."
Dayong raised his hand timidly, "Well... there is something I don't know..."
"Speak!" Zuo Zhou waved his hand casually. These natives were polite and always trembled when facing senior officials.
Dayong sneered, "Well, I have always felt that the other seven families were wiped out just because one family was not! It is too arbitrary to judge that this family has problems when encountering enemies. No, it can no longer be said to be arbitrary, it should be said...
Stupid! But when we just looked at Dugu Wei, he seemed not as stupid as we thought!"
"..."
It's quite embarrassing to say this. Of course, everyone knows that it is stupid. After all, no matter how long it seems, there is no way to clear it up. But after all, it is a fact that has happened. Although it is incredible, as a case solver who pays attention to evidence
, the most taboo thing is to use your own wisdom to trap the prisoner. After all, if everyone could be as rational as bystanders, there would be fewer disputes in the world.
As for Zuo Zhou, he actually had no reason to laugh at anything. When he saw Mr. Ximen die, he also chopped down a street in anger!
Therefore, it is difficult to say how angry the thirteen murderers would be after learning that the seven upright officials had been exterminated, and how much sanity they could maintain.
Wu Qing's expression was very bad, and no one knew how to comfort her. She probably hoped that the thirteen murderers could stay rational.
"My lord! My lord! It's not good!"
Suddenly, anxious shouting came from outside, and Zuo Zhou laughed directly, "Old Di, if I were you, I would fork this thing out!"
Di Renjie rolled his eyes at him angrily, "Whenever something goes wrong, I go to Mr. Di, and when I have trouble, I go to Mr. Di. Is your face like a loose-leaf face?"
"How dignified are you! You have something to say!"
Di Renjie did not ask the government servant who reported the news to go out and knock on the door again, but only gave him a slight scolding.
"Duguwei is dead!"
"..."
grass!
Everyone immediately rushed to the dungeon, and sure enough, they saw Duguwei, who was alive and kicking before, dead.
"How long has it been? Is this murderer so blatant?" Yuchi Zhenjin screamed, but he felt a little creepy in his heart.
They have just finished interrogating Dugu Wei, and he is dead now? Is it possible that the murderer is hiding in Dali Temple?
This terrifying thought also flashed through everyone's minds at the same time. If the only consolation was to temporarily exclude everyone present, after all, they were all together before.
"Autopsy first!" Di Renjie's face was very ugly. The prisoner died in the Dali Temple prison. This is unimportant, otherwise Emperor Qin would most likely question him.
The founder of Dali Temple is a slightly stooped middle-aged man, one of the few people left behind from the original Dali Temple. In fact, Di Renjie did not want to leave him behind, but there is really no one available, let alone such a professional talent.
Everyone just looked at him. At first, the man was calm, but as the autopsy progressed, sweat gradually began to form on his forehead.
Seeing this, Zuo Zhou sighed: "Can't the cause of death be found in the examination?"
"Poisoned to death!" Wu Zuo was sure, but then he said a little embarrassed, "I just don't know what kind of poison I was poisoned, and I can't see how I was poisoned."
Yuchi Zhenjin said anxiously: "Check it carefully again!"
The man was about to cry with his whole face squeezed together, "This villain is incompetent. He has looked at his whole body. He even checked his scalp carefully. There is not even a needle hole!"
Zuo Zhou was a little unhappy watching Zuo's collapse. He unconsciously thought of the Chu family who had adopted Chu Chu in the first place, but then he threw away the idea. Chu Chu's problems could be big or small. He might not be afraid of Chu Chu's bad luck.
, but the Chu family are ordinary people, so try not to involve them, but I remember this in my heart. If I want to set up a team in the future, I must pay attention to finding relevant talents.
Di Renjie also felt very awkward. After thinking for a while, he made a decision immediately, "Autopsy! Find the cause of his death no matter what."
"yes!"
Wuzuo wiped the sweat from his face. In this environment, dissection is rare. After all, the indigenous people do not accept it very well. But it must be admitted that dissection is more helpful in discovering the truth.
Dayong was a little worried, "Sister Qingqing, let me push you out."
"No, I want to see who is helping me take revenge! Or...is he hiding something?" Qingwu is obviously a very stubborn girl.
"Huh? Found it, sir!"
Wuzuo was very happy to lift Duguwei's thigh. The thigh had been cut open, and he could see with the naked eye that the meridians were rotten and necrotic!
Everyone paused and looked at Qing Qing. The meridians in his legs were also damaged. Could it be the same poison that Qing Wu was hit with?
Qingqing obviously also thought about it, "I can't be sure if it is a toxin, but... I remember that the thing that poisoned me was a hidden weapon, a lotus-shaped hidden weapon about the size of a knuckle."
"Du Lian, the Poison Lotus, is famous for this hidden weapon. It is said that she is a ruthless woman." Zuo Zhou frowned slightly as he spoke, as if he thought of something but did not say anything.
"Look for anything unusual. Be careful, everyone. Since it was poisoned, there must be something highly toxic." Di Renjie said, and Yuchi Zhenjin and the other detectives put on their gloves and entered the cell to start rummaging.
The cell was located underground, and a lot of straw was laid to prevent moisture. The cleaning was done diligently, and there were no insects, rats or ants. This created a lot of convenience for everyone's search work.
Zuo Zhou rubbed his chin, looked at Qing Wu, then looked at Di Renjie, "When I detoxified Qing Wu, the antidote was given by Zhuge Zheng and I. To determine whether it is the same poison, I'm afraid it will still fall on Zhuge Zheng and I.
.”
Of course Di Renjie understood what he meant, "Ya Yu has moved in with me. He is very resentful of me. It's hard for us to meet each other now."
"This is official business, what are you afraid of!"
"Yes, it's official business. As the minister of Dali Temple, I naturally have to take charge of the overall situation here. I leave it to Yuan Fang to find Zhuge Zheng and I to assist in the investigation!"
"..."
Just as Zuo Zhou opened his mouth, Yuchi Zhenjin shouted: "Found it!"
I saw that he was holding a forearm-long silk thread in his hand. This thread was very thin and had a grayish color. It looked like it was highly poisonous. If everyone hadn't turned the cell upside down, it would have been so inconspicuous.
The gray color is difficult to spot.
Wu used tweezers to pick up the gray silk thread, then threw it into a porcelain bowl, then took a little of Duguwei's blood and poured it in. Sure enough, the blood quickly turned into black.
"It's really poisonous!"
"What poison?"
Wuzuo: "..." Sir, are you trying to make things difficult for me?
Di Renjie also knew that it was useless. It seemed that he would have to find someone who was familiar with Jianghu sects in the future, otherwise this job would be too difficult.
"Just confirm that it is this kind of poison. So... what is the method of poisoning? Put it into the food along the silk thread? Or directly drive the silk thread into the body?"
Wu Zuo: "..." As I get older, it's time to retire and enjoy happiness.
Di Renjie was a little annoyed, Zuo Zhou waved his hand, "Forget it, I'd better go find Zhuge Zheng and come over. You guys should protect the evidence. With such a special method, maybe Zhuge Zheng and I know each other, so don't let the enemy have the opportunity to destroy the evidence."
