A total of four poisoned Muyue Kingdom envoys lived in the two rooms next door.
Chai Yan asked questions one by one, including the types of dishes, what happened during the meal, the drinks he drank, and the refreshments and food he consumed after the meal and before going to bed.
By the time I finished asking, it was already time to apply...
Ahhudala and Lubol waited in the room until they fell asleep, and then Chaiyan returned to the room yawning.
"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long." Chai Yan first expressed his apology after coming in.
Ahudala woke up with a start and asked hurriedly: "Master Chai, did you find anything?"
Lu Bol woke up when he heard the sound, looked at Chai Yan tiredly, and didn't speak in a hurry.
Chai Yan said: "Second Prince, don't tell me, after asking just now, I really discovered something!"
Ahudala immediately became energetic and said, "Master Chai, please speak quickly!"
Lu Bol also frowned and stared at Chai Yan closely.
Chai Yan walked to the table and poured a glass of water. After taking a sip, he said calmly: "After I asked the four envoys just now, I found one thing in common!"
After saying that, Chai Yan continued to drink water.
"What do they have in common?" Ahhudara wanted to know anxiously.
Lu Boer said: "Master Chai, it's so late at night, don't be so secretive and say it quickly."
Chai Yan finished the water in the glass before continuing: "The common point is that the six of you who were poisoned all ate the same meal, drank wine with purple cloud grass root juice, and were still together after the meal.
After chatting and drinking tea brewed with water from the same well, after midnight, you both suffered from abdominal pain and were poisoned..."
Lu Bol was stunned when he heard this, looked at Chai Yan in confusion, and asked: "Master Chai, everyone has known what you said for a long time. What does this mean?"
"Yes, Mr. Chai, we all know all this!" Ahudala didn't understand why Chai Yan said this.
Chai Yan smiled slightly, clasped his fingers and said: "Don't worry, let me analyze it carefully for you... First of all, there is no poison in the food. We have verified this and can rule it out...
.Then, the poison must have been in other foods, such as wine with cloudgrass root juice added, everyone’s tea, or cakes, etc..."
Lu Bol immediately interrupted: "Master Chai! Are you a little confused? You just drank the remaining wine, and you said personally that there is no poison in the wine!"
Ahhudala also looked at Chai Yan with puzzled eyes and said, "Yes, Mr. Chai, you just said that."
"I've already said it, don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet!" Chai Yan frowned, feeling a little unhappy that they interrupted him.
When Chai Yan saw that the two of them had calmed down and stopped talking, he continued: "What did I just say... Oh, yes, it said that the poison was put into other food... So
, which one is it in?"
Ahudala shook his head and Lu Bol remained silent. They both looked at Chai Yan, waiting for him to reveal the answer.
"Please note that the six of you were poisoned at the same time, which means that the time when the six of you were poisoned was very close! And if you are poisoned at the same time, it means that the six of you ate poisonous food at the same time!
Therefore, those pastries served after meals can be excluded, because the second prince has not eaten them, so there is no need to consider them!" Chai Yan said.
Ahhudala thought it made sense and nodded seriously, while Lu Bol remained silent.
Chai Yan clasped his hands behind his back and said loudly: "In this way, the scope of poisoned food has been greatly reduced, and only wine with purple cloud grass root juice and tea after meals are left...
..."
Lu Bol said with a sullen face: "That's enough, Mr. Chai! You have drank all the wine and the well water outside, and you know best whether it is poisonous or not! After wasting so much time, is this all you want to tell us?"
Chai Yan immediately raised his hand, raised a finger and shook it at Lu Boer: "Mr. Deputy Ambassador, I have drank wine and well water. They are indeed not poisonous...
However, after brewing the tea, I didn’t drink it!”
These words made Lu Bol's heart tighten, and he couldn't help but feel a little flustered in his heart, but on the surface he remained fine and showed no abnormalities.
Ahudala was startled when he heard this, and immediately reacted and said in surprise: "Master Chai, are you suspicious...suspicious of those tea leaves?"
"Not bad!" Chai Yan nodded heavily.
Ahudala immediately ordered his followers: "Go quickly, get all those tea leaves, and ask Mr. Chai to check them!"
"Yes, Second Prince." The attendant nodded quickly and ran away.
Although he sent someone to get the tea leaves, Ahhudala didn't really believe that there was something wrong with the tea leaves.
"Master Chai, these tea leaves were brought from the capital of our country. We drank them all along the way. If it is poisonous, how come nothing happened before?" Ahhudala asked.
Chai Yan said calmly: "Second Prince, don't worry, we will know after we get the tea..."
It was less than half a cup of tea, so the attendant took a bag of tea leaves, put it on the table and said to Chai Yan: "Master Chai, this is the tea that everyone drank before, called Hanyue Flower Tea."
Chai Yan walked over and looked at the tea leaves in the paper bag. He picked up some with two fingers and put it under his nose to smell it. Then he nodded and said: "Well, this tea smells so good..."
Having said this, Chai Yan suddenly put the tea leaves into his mouth and started chewing them.
This move immediately caused a trace of panic to appear on Lu Bol's face, but he calmed down the next moment and returned to his normal color.
Ahudala asked: "Master Chai, is it the problem with Hanyue Flower Tea?"
Chai Yan did not comment, but changed the subject and asked: "Second prince, I heard from those envoys that your favorite is actually a kind of tea called Mingshan Maojian, right?"
"Not bad!" Ahudala nodded in affirmation.
Chai Yan asked doubtfully: "Then why did you bring Hanyue Flower Tea on this trip?"
Ahudala explained: "Master Chai didn't know something. In fact, when we set off, we originally brought Mingshan Maojian tea, but due to the negligence of the people below, all the Mingshan Maojian tea was lost...
..... Later, when we passed a small town near the border, the deputy envoy told
We said that there is a kind of Hanyue Flower Tea produced there, which is fragrant and has a very good taste, so I sent someone to buy some. Mr. Chai, I asked my entourage to buy these Hanyue Flower Tea, and
After I bought it, many people drank it, and there was nothing unusual about it!"
The attendant felt that he was being suspected, and hurriedly said: "Master Chai, don't talk nonsense, I bought this tea. Many of us have drank it since I bought it, and there has never been any problem!"
Lu Bol took the opportunity and said: "Second Prince, look, what I said before was right, right? He wasted us so long, but couldn't find anything, and now he is afraid that he won't be able to get off the stage, so he started talking nonsense.
,ridiculous!"
As soon as these words came out, Ahudala's face didn't look good, and his voice became colder as he asked: "Master Chai, are you doubting these teas?"
Chai Yan nodded and said: "It's not a suspicion, it's a certainty! The abdominal pain symptoms you, the second prince, the deputy envoy, and the four envoys have are caused by this Hanyue Flower Tea!"
"What?" Ahudala said in horror.
Lu Boer suddenly became excited and pointed at the tea leaves on the table and said: "That's nonsense! If this tea was poisonous, then we people would have been poisoned to death on the road long ago. How could we still get here?"
Chai Yan was very calm: "Don't be so excited! Mr. Deputy Ambassador, you are still poisoned, so you have to be careful... Let's just make a cup now and invite someone brave to drink it on the spot.
Now, won’t it be clear whether it’s poisonous or not?”
PS: Sorry, I had something to do yesterday and took a day off. But please don't worry, I will make up for the two updates I owed yesterday and upload them later...
