The cruel behavior did not cause much emotion to the Shouxiao people. It was not that they were troublesome and unkind, but that He Qian's pain reminded them of their own different experiences, and the degree of pain was not similar.
Yang Yuran froze on the spot, being used and betrayed made her feel like she was falling into hell. She leaned forward unsteadily, and was supported by the servant with quick eyes and hands.
He Qian's eyes were full of heartache, and he almost begged and said: "Ali, come closer and let me take a last look at you."
Yang Yuran struggled internally for a moment, but in the end she couldn't compete with He Qian's sincere care. In the face of care that could give up her life and die for her, she couldn't believe that He Qian really betrayed her.
Pushing away the servant who grabbed him, he quickly ran to He Qian, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and helped him test the blood on the corner of his mouth.
"Ali, do you blame me?"
He Qian asked extremely cautiously, just as the demon-slaying sword held behind him could not kill him, but Yang Yuran's answer might make him lose the idea of living at any time.
Yang Yuran's fingers trembled slightly, she squeezed the blood-stained handkerchief tightly, and said hoarsely: "You have responded to my requests over the years. I always remember that night when it snowed heavily, I was infected with a nasty disease. You took the risk of being infected and hugged me tightly.
When I feel cold all over, use your own body temperature to help keep me warm. I remember all your good deeds, but my father was killed by you. There is a difference between you and me as humans and monsters, so let’s cut ties today.”
"I did not kill the old manor owner. I went to the darkroom behind the rockery just to destroy the old manor owner's forging furnace. I have already fallen in love with you during the days when I was with you. I just wanted to destroy the things that harmed my people.
"
He Qian screamed loudly. When he saw the determination in Yang Yuran's eyes, he became increasingly unable to control his inner emotions and struggled.
"My father died in the darkroom. What evidence do you have to prove that he was not the killer?" Yang Yuran turned around in disappointment.
"I have evidence. You said that the old village owner let a blunt object hit the back of the head to death, but we horse demons are naturally sensitive to smells. There is no colorless and odorless thing in this world. Even the cleanest water still has a smell. In fact, the old village owner is
The Lord didn’t let him be crushed to death with a blunt object, he was already poisoned before that!”
He Qian's conclusion was as shocking as the thunder. He Ningyue opened her mouth in surprise and asked: "You mean my father died of poisoning?"
"Yes." He Qian said firmly: "There is an empty bowl in the dark room. The smell of poison emanating from there is particularly strong. You humans can't smell it, but I can smell it very clearly. Find someone who understands pharmacology and use pure condensation to
You will know after testing the powder. As long as you add the pure condensation powder and add water, the original color of the poison can be restored."
"This bastard is stalling for time. We don't want to listen to his nonsense. Our autopsy has shown irrefutable evidence that he died of fatal injuries caused by blunt force."
Bao Yuling scolded sternly, pulled out the soft sword from her waist, and quickly came to He Qian.
Yang Yuran put her arms around Bao Yuling's waist to prevent her from approaching He Qian.
Bao Yuling struggled to twist her body but failed to break free. She didn't realize that Yang Yuran was very strong, so she scolded him: "You are a rip-off, I love you so much, but you actually want to help outsiders get away with it. You're wrong, he
You’re not even considered a human being, yet you actually want to help an animal get away with it.”
Yang Yuran was very familiar with this kind of accusation, so she blurted out: "The second sister-in-law killed Tang Yi now, and it is inevitable that she will be called a murderer. What Tang Yi said is reasonable and well-founded. Let's go to the darkroom to investigate and we will know whether it is true or not.
.”
Bao Yuling looked extremely ugly, glanced to the right, waited for a moment, lowered her arms, and shouted angrily: "Let me go, go to the dark room to check clearly, as my Long Lang said, we must catch the murderer today and bury him with me."
.”
"Um."
Yang Yuran responded solemnly, and the group took the old doctor and escorted the suspect to the darkroom.
On the way, He Qian repeatedly gave Yang Yuran the "go to the front" gesture.
Yang Yuran rushed to the front of the line with the housekeeper while everyone was walking through the rockery, and reached the dark room through the dark and damp stone stairs.
The housekeeper opened the door and she was the first to enter. She stepped on something soft and tried it with her toes, which looked like a parchment roll.
My heart sank, could this be the blood contract that the third lady mentioned?
He Qian kept saying that he wanted to destroy the forging furnace, but he actually risked his life and came to help her and the third lady find a blood contract?
Knowing that he would be searched if he was caught, he used the secret method that only the demon clan knew how to hide and left the blood contract at the door, waiting for her to find out.
Without having time to think too much, he leaned over, picked up the parchment and hid it in his arms.
The torch was lit, illuminating the entire darkroom.
There are strange animal skins on display in the dark room, and fingerprints protrude from the forging furnace, all showing the tenacious resistance of the demon clan before their death.
He Qian turned pale and retched, cursing the old farm owner for being cruel and inhumane.
"Go and inspect the porcelain bowl."
Qin Muyu looked sharply at the old man who was accompanying him.
The sixty-year-old man responded repeatedly, walked quickly to the table with the medicine box on his back, took out the white powder from the medicine box and sprinkled it into the porcelain bowl. He reached out and took the water brought by the servant and added it to it. In the blink of an eye, the water in the bowl gradually became turbid and emitted.
There is a pungent smell.
"It's poisonous, get out first."
Li Shuo took the lead and covered his nose, turned around and left.
Yang Yuran turned around and noticed something flashing under the table in the firelight. He leaned over to pick it up and quickly caught up with the group.
Returning to the ground again, He Ningyue looked at the old doctor and asked: "What kind of poison did my father get before he died?"
"I don't know, this poison is extremely poisonous. I have never seen it before in my life." The old man stroked his beard, shook his head and glanced at He Qian meaningfully.
Yang Yuran was observing He Ningyue all the time, and naturally saw the strange look flashing in the other person's eyes, which looked like relief.
She quickly weighed the pros and cons, decided to follow A Li's original intention, and asked, "Sister, I remind you of the wound on the back of dad's head. He started practicing the Golden Steel Body Protection Kung Fu when he was 30 years old, and now he has practiced it to the age of seven.
Well, ordinary weapons can't hurt him at all. It seems that the only thing that can leave such a shocking wound on him is the Frost Hammer that dad gave you."
"I lost my frost hammer." He Ningyue looked at Yang Yuran without blinking, and said with a firm grip: "I lost it three days ago."
"Oh, what a coincidence."
Yang Yuran took out the jade pendant he had just picked up from his arms and asked with a smile: "I just found this jade pendant from under the table. I remember that it belongs to my brother-in-law. If you don't believe it, you can wait until the smell inside dissipates and check under the table.
There are dents on the jade pendant in the bloodstains. So, could it be that my brother-in-law stole the Frost Hammer?"
"Don't talk nonsense. It's impossible for the eldest brother-in-law to do such a thing. I can testify."
Bao Yuling retorted excitedly, and then she realized from Yang Yuran's proud snort that she had been trapped.
Yang Yuran raised the jade pendant with black blood spots and dangled it in front of He Ningyue and Bao Yuling, and slowly analyzed: "We did an autopsy and found that my father died of blunt force injuries. There will be no mistakes in this autopsy. Even if my father was poisoned
Well, with his Vajra Kung Fu, he will not die within two hours, but will only lose the ability to resist. I guess the second sister-in-law relies on private meetings to testify for her brother-in-law?"
Bao Yuling was completely confused, whether it was because of the second sister-in-law here or her own position.
He strode to He Ningyue, held her hand and explained in a panic: "It's not what A Li said."
"If it's what I said, just ask the male cook that my second brother caught."
Yang Yuran waved to the butler to bring it to the male cook. The male cook stared at Bao Yuling for a long time and affirmed: "It's her, it's her who had a private meeting with my uncle last night."
"You are making false accusations!" Bao Yuling shouted angrily, her eyes timidly observing He Ningyue's happiness and anger.
Yang Yuran clicked her tongue twice in fear that the world would be in chaos, and said with emotion: "It's so weird. My brother-in-law is going to elope with his second sister-in-law. The servant heard that my brother-in-law said that my eldest sister was going to do something last night. But my brother-in-law's jade pendant was also thrown at the scene of my father's death.
There are only two possibilities now. The brother-in-law killed his father and deliberately revealed the eldest sister's murderous intentions. The only thing found at the scene was the poison you suspected of the demon clan and the brother-in-law's jade pendant. Based on this, it is speculated that the brother-in-law may be helping the eldest sister to perjury. Tang Yi is destined to die, brother-in-law
Why did you leave the jade pendant unnecessary? It proves that when dad was about to be poisoned to death, someone hit him hard."
Yang Yuran finished the analysis in an orderly manner, and quietly admired He Ningyue's wet eyes for a few seconds before slowly coming to a conclusion: "The second brother got here in time, and the brother-in-law naturally didn't have time to perjury for that person, so he had to leave his jade pendant."
Take the blame. After that, find someone who has always admired you, run away with him, and then it is certain that you will abscond in fear of the crime."
An extra 500 words will be added during the holidays. I wish everyone a happy Year of the Rabbit and good progress. It’s best to read it again. There were a lot of typos in the first edition. I’m quite busy during the New Year today.
