Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter 617 Tea poison.

After writing down the names of the people Shao Yong said, it was very late, Hua Lang took Shao Yong and Jia Qingqing back to Shao Village, and then slept in a random place in Shao Village for the night.

After dawn, they rushed to Shen Yuan immediately and asked the yamen servants to investigate whether what Shao Yong said was true.

It's just that after Hwarang gave these instructions, Shen Ling was nowhere to be seen, and asked Ade if Shen Ling was still resting, Ade said he didn't know, and after sending his wife back to the room last night, he never went to see it.

Hua Lang estimated the time, and it is probably Chen's time now, and Shen Ling is definitely not a person who likes to sleep in, why hasn't she come out?

Hwarang felt that something was suspicious, so he took people to the north attic and went up to the second floor. Hwarang asked Ade to knock on the door of Shen Ling's room, but he knocked a few times, but there was no response from inside. Yin Wucuo said, "Brother Yin, please kick the door open."

As soon as Hualang finished speaking, Yin Wucuo kicked up, and after the door was kicked open, everyone rushed in, and after they rushed in, they were suddenly speechless in surprise, because at this moment Shen Ling In bed, she was dead.

The quilt was well covered, but there were bloodstains in Shen Ling's nose and mouth, and the blood had dried up. When Hwarang lifted the quilt, everyone turned around, because after Hwarang lifted the quilt, they found that Shen Ling was only wearing a shirt. A thin bellyband, at this time her snow-white skin was exposed, giving people an indescribable shock.

Everyone turned around to avoid suspicion, but Hwarang didn't react at all. He always respected the corpse, so he didn't have any evil thoughts about the corpse just because he was completely naked.

Hwarang carefully inspected Shen Ling's body and found that Shen Ling died of poisoning, but the onset of toxicity was not very fast, and once the onset of poisoning occurred, the poisoned person might die suddenly.

After putting the quilt back on Shen Ling, Hua Lang said to one of the yamen servants, "Rush to Duanzhou City immediately, tell Mr. Bao what happened here, and ask him to bring someone here. I'm afraid this matter will be complicated."

The yamen servant got the order and hurriedly left Shen Yuan.

The whole room was full of people who were puzzled by this matter. Why did the murderer kill Shen Ling after killing Sun Jing?

After Hwarang left Shen Ling's body, he checked the door carefully. The door was indeed locked from the inside, and the door was kicked open just now, so there must be nothing wrong with the door. Afterwards, Hwarang checked again. Walking around the house, I found that there was only one small ventilation window in the whole house, and it was very high. Not to mention that the murderer couldn't get in, even if I was afraid that it would not be easy to go to that place, after all, it was the second floor.

In this way, Shen Ling died in the secret room.

What made Hwarang even more strange was that Shen Ling died on the bed, and there was no mess on the bed, which meant that Shen Ling died of poisoning suddenly in his sleep, just like Sun Jing.

Poisoned?When Hwarang thought about being poisoned, he suddenly asked Ade: "What did Shen Ling eat tonight?"

Ade shook his head: "Because the case has not been solved, Madam went back to her room to rest without eating anything tonight, but..." As soon as Ade said this, Hua Lang suddenly pushed him away, and then came to Shen Ling On the table in the bedroom, there is a teapot and a teacup on the table. At this time, there is still tea in the teapot, and there is still a little tea left in the teacup. The tea in the teacup is amber, which is very attractive. When the teacup arrived, he hurriedly said: "Madam and Master have a habit of drinking calming tea every night before going to bed."

"Anshen tea?" Hwarang was a little confused, so he couldn't help saying these words.

At this time, Ade nodded again and again, and said: "That's right, a year ago, Madam suddenly suffered from insomnia, and she often couldn't sleep at night. Seeing that Madam was so uncomfortable, the master asked a friend to bring back this calming tea from outside. The master brews a pot for his wife every night, and over time, both of them have developed the habit of drinking calming tea."

After listening to Ah De's words, Hwarang quickly put the silver needle into the tea to test it out, and when he took out the silver needle, he found that the silver needle had turned black. Everyone was shocked and said that the tea was poisonous.

It is inevitable that tea is poisonous, but how did the murderer poison the tea?The room was a secret room, the murderer couldn't get in at all. Did Shen Ling ever leave the door on the way to make tea?But it's not right, Ade said that Shen Ling hadn't appeared since she entered the upstairs bedroom.

Hwarang pondered for a long time, and suddenly asked, "Where are the tea leaves of the Anshen Tea?"

Ade thought for a while, pointed to a cabinet in the bedroom and said, "It should be there, I remember it was there!"

Hwarang opened the cabinet and found that there were more than a dozen square wooden boxes piled up inside. These wooden boxes were very well made and the workmanship was good. Hwarang took the top box and opened it. It contained tea leaves. He smelled it. , There was indeed a strong tea fragrance. He poured the tea leaves in the box into a cup of hot water, and then tested it with a silver needle, only to find that the silver needle turned black.

It wasn't until this time that Hwarang finally understood the whole story of Shen Ling's poisoning. It wasn't someone who ran into the house and poisoned Shen Ling's tea, but the murderer poisoned the tea leaves. In this way, as long as Shen Ling drinks tea If she drank the poisonous box, she would surely die.

Hwarang looked at Ade and asked, "Who can touch the calming tea in Shen Ling's room?"

Ade shook his head, and said: "Our servants rarely come in Madam's room, and even if they do, they leave quickly. They dare not touch anything. I'm afraid only the master and Madam can touch the calming tea." Ade said When he got here, he suddenly became flustered and said, "Could it be that the wronged soul of the master has returned?"

Everyone was very surprised when they heard Ade suddenly say such words, but Hua Lang didn't believe in this wronged soul, so he asked Shen Ling's maid to be called, and asked: "You have been following Shen Ling?" Ling, do you know who has touched these tea leaves?"

The servant girl glanced at the cabinet, and suddenly said in surprise: "When Madam drank it the night before yesterday, there were still twelve boxes. How come there are eleven boxes now?"

After the servant girl said this, Hwarang and the others paid attention to the tea leaves in the cupboard again. Those boxes were four boxes on one floor, so they were placed on three floors. Now there are only two boxes left on the third floor, but there is one box in Hualang's hand, which is poisonous. If there is a box of tea missing in that box, then someone must have mischief, took that box, and poisoned the box in Hwarang's hands.

But how could the murderer be sure that Shen Ling would take the box in Hualang's hand? Although the box was outside and could be seen at a glance, the same was true for the box next to it. Shen Ling might have taken that box to drink, right?

Hwarang felt the need to look at another box of tea leaves.
