Forensic drug concubine

Chapter 279 Blood Stained Flower Garden

"So far, it is true that women with such veils on their bodies have all died unexpectedly." Chu Zhiyan said coolly.

The old lady Gong's face turned cold again, and Zi Yun next to her thought of something, and whispered to the old lady Gong: "Mr. Gong, didn't you give all the remaining handkerchiefs to the last time you sent flowers?" Is your flower servant?"

Ziyun's words made everyone's expressions change, and Chu Zhiyan immediately asked, "What flower servant?"

Old Madam Gong's complexion was a little heavy, and the look in her eyes became serious, Ziyun continued: "My lord, last time the old matriarch invited those ladies to come over to enjoy the flowers, because there were not many peonies in the mansion. , so I asked someone to go to the flower garden and pick out some conspicuous ones, because the peonies that were sent at that time were very suitable for the old lady's eyes, and the old lady was in a good mood, so she gave many unused handkerchiefs to the old lady. Flower servant, take it as a reward."

After all, the handkerchiefs of the Gong family are very valuable, and the supply is in short supply. It is not something that anyone can have if they want it.

Zhao Zhong's face also became serious, and he asked aloud, "Is it the flower servant in this garden?"

Zi Yun nodded, looked at the flower servant behind her, and asked, "Where is the flower servant who sent peony flowers to Gong's last time?"

"You mean Ah Er, the second day Ah Er came back from Gong's last time, he received a letter from his hometown saying that his mother was ill, so he went back to his hometown."

"Then do you know where his hometown is?" Zhao Zhong's voice was more severe.

The flower servant was startled, with a look of concern on his face, he shook his head and said, "I don't know, Ah Er has just arrived, father saw that he was honest and hardworking, so he stayed here .”

Chu Zhiyan's face turned even colder. This Ah Er must have something to do with this homicide case, but he doesn't know where he is now, and the clues have been cut off again.

Just as he was thinking, there was a sudden exclamation from his side, and then there was a bang, the sound of the flower pot being broken.

Everyone looked over and saw that a little flower servant was carrying flowers, probably because of a slip on his foot, he accidentally dropped the flowerpot in his hand to the ground and broke it.

The face of the flower servant standing behind Ziyun changed, and he walked over quickly, and said sharply, "How did you do it? This potted flower is so precious. Now you smash it, can you afford it?"

"I didn't do it on purpose, I didn't do it on purpose, please forgive me, don't hit me..." Xiao Huapu's voice was full of trembling and fear, and the expression on his face was also full of panic. A little trembling, as if the next moment, a vicious whip would hit him.

When everyone saw this scene, they felt sorry for ruining a good pot of flowers, and no one felt sorry for the punishment this frail little boy would receive.

Zhao Zhong's face was a little gloomy. He managed to find some clues, but now they are broken again. In just three days, three people died, one was missing, and three or four were poisoned. If the case is not solved as soon as possible, this situation will not continue Knowing what troubles will arise, how will the emperor explain it?
Just as he was thinking, suddenly Chu Zhiyan who was beside him stepped up and walked towards the place where the little boy broke the flowerpot just now.

Zhao Zhong was taken aback for a moment, and followed him.

The little boy was squatting tremblingly on the ground to deal with those broken flower pots or soil. The soil seemed to be particularly sticky, and the sticky boy's hands were covered with mud, which made people feel tired and uncomfortable.

"My lord, what's the matter?" Zhao Zhong couldn't help asking, seeing Chu Zhiyan staring at the dirt on the boy's hand with a sullen face.

The little boy was so frightened that Chu Zhiyan stared at him with such a cold face, his whole body trembled, and his face turned pale.

Chu Zhiyan stretched out his hand, and Yu Kun next to him immediately handed over a white handkerchief. Chu Zhiyan picked up some soil with the handkerchief, and the brown mud stuck to the handkerchief, quickly staining the handkerchief.

But soon, Zhao Zhong and Yu Kun, who were staring at the handkerchief, changed their expressions slightly.

Because, the veil is not only stained with brown soil marks, but also bright red oozes faintly. If the red is mixed in the soil, it is not easy to detect, but if you use a white veil to grab the soil, It's obvious.

"This..." Zhao Zhong was surprised. He didn't understand why the soil in the flowerpot had bright red seeping out. Even the red soil would not have such a bright red color.

Chu Zhiyan shook off the dirt on the handkerchief. At this moment, the handkerchief was completely red, which made one's scalp tingle for no reason.

He picked up the handkerchief and held it to the tip of his nose, and a smell of earth mixed with fishy smell passed into his nose.

"My son, this..." Zhao Zhong was about to ask, but was interrupted by Chu Zhiyan: "This is blood."

Not only Zhao Zhong, but the faces of the old lady Gong and Gong Yichen who were standing not far away also changed suddenly. Why is there blood in the flower shed?Could it be that these flowers bloom so brightly because they were watered with blood?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Gong's expression turned a little ugly.

Zhao Zhong looked at another flower servant next to him with a cold face, and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on? Why is there blood in the flowerpot?"

The flower servant turned pale with fright, his whole body was still shocked and terrified, his legs trembled, his body went limp, and he knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said with a trembling voice, "I... I don't know... I don't know , These flowers, these flowers are all cultivated and sent by flower farmers, I... small, small really don't know anything."

With a cold face, Chu Zhiyan glanced at Yu Kun, Yu Kun understood, and immediately led someone to check the soil in all the flower pots in the entire flower garden. As expected, the inside was watered with blood.

This is simply horrifying, it is obviously not watered by the blood of any animal, it is clearly killed a person, and then the blood in the person's body is taken out and used to water the flowers.

Otherwise, where did the blood in the bodies of the dead go?
"Where are the flower farmers who cultivated these flowers?" Zhao Zhong asked coldly.

The flower servant was so frightened that his body seemed to be a little stiff, his face was extremely pale, and his body was constantly shaking: "Little... small, no... I don't know..."

"Take it back to check!" Zhao Zhong said coldly, a yamen servant quickly came over and escorted the flower servant towards the outside, and other yamen servants stepped forward and searched all the rooms in the courtyard, except for a rickety old man, Couldn't find anything else.

"Take these flowers back, too."

"Yes."

"It's a crime, it's simply a crime..." The old man said in a low voice, then closed his eyes, and let the yamen guard escort him out of the courtyard.
