The skin of dragon lychee is similar to that of lychee, but its outer skin has a layer of thorns similar to dragon scales. The pulp of Longli is relatively sweet, but the toxicity of its pulp and core is very alarming, and it is known as the "crazy fruit".
"What will happen if you accidentally eat the madman fruit?"
"Eating raw food can cause epilepsy or see ghosts." Wu Zuo said: "Fuyang County is located in the southwest, and most people in the city can distinguish dragon lychee from lychee. Except for children who are not yet enlightened, most people will not eat it by mistake."
If it wasn't accidentally eaten, it would be someone deliberately poisoning it.
After He Bingtian's accident, everyone in the He family focused on the deceased He Bingtian and the murderer Feng Lin. Since the government had not yet intervened, the crime scene remained basically the same except for the slight movement of He Bingtian's body.
The items in the room were messy, but they were not caused by beatings. Feng Lin probably knocked them over accidentally. The bedding on the bed was messy, and the bed curtains showed signs of being pulled. Thinking of the soup bowl that fell beside the bed, Shen Chongming had an answer in his mind.
He asked Wu Zuo to check the soup bowl, and sure enough, he found Longli in the soup base. At the same time, the government officials who went to the kitchen to investigate also found the dragon lychees that had not yet been cleaned in the fruit basket. They had their shells removed and were mixed in among the lychees.
After inquiry, it was found that in the whole He family, only the young lady Feng Lin liked to eat lychees. It's not the season for lychees right now, so most of the lychees Feng Lin eats are refrigerated by the Feng family. The Feng family would send people to deliver lychees every once in a while, and the person responsible for taking care of these lychees was Feng Lin's personal maid Lianxiang.
The basket contained dried lychees for the young lady to make soup. To prevent her servants from stealing them, Lianxiang had someone buy a cabinet and lock the lychees.
"Since it was locked, why did it appear on the stove?"
"I guess Miss Lianxiang forgot to take it back after using it." The person in charge of the kitchen is He Bingtian's nanny. She is an old man in the house and knows the affairs of the He family very well: "This lychee has always been provided by Miss Lianxiang herself. Even I, the steward, have no right to touch those in charge. Yesterday after dinner, I saw Miss Lianxiang working in the kitchen, and she brought the soup into the young lady’s room at about an hour. After that, there was no one in the kitchen. I went in until your lords came."
"Is there no breakfast in this house?" Li Zhun asked curiously.
"The young master died tragically, how can we be in the mood to eat?" The stewardess glanced at He Hongyi: "Not to mention the rest of us, even the master and the old lady are not in the mood to eat right now."
Li Zhun nodded and looked at Shen Chongming.
Shen Chongming stared at the steward, as if he wanted to read something on her face. Seeing that Mammy was avoiding her, she turned her attention to Zhou Yu'an, who was dressed as Chun Hong.
Zhou Yu'an was thinking about getting the keys when he suddenly caught Shen Chongming's gaze and subconsciously bared his teeth at him. Shen Chongming frowned and shifted his gaze back to his grandma's face.
"Did you see Lianxiang making soup with your own eyes? Where do you stay on weekdays? How did you know that no one came into the kitchen after Lianxiang left."
"The room opposite the kitchen is the slave's residence." The steward bent down and said, "This slave only saw her back, but Miss Lianxiang is someone close to the young lady, and every move she makes is familiar to me."
"So, the young lady killed the young master after drinking the soup made with dragon lychees." Li Zhun analyzed while stroking his beard: "She did not intend to kill her husband, but she regarded the young master as a A ghost. No wonder the young lady slashed so hard, but she avoided the fatal point, and the angle of the slash was messy, as if she was driven mad."
"Even if she accidentally eats Longli, she is still the murderer of my son." He Hongyi said angrily: "A murder must be paid with a life. I will definitely make her go to the underworld to be buried with my son!"'
"It is the law of the king to kill someone to avoid death. I will not show favoritism. But what I am curious about is, why did this Miss Lianxiang do this?"
"Maybe it's because the young lady punished her." He Si, who had been silent for a long time, said: "Everyone in the house knows that Miss Lianxiang got slapped. I also heard that the reason why Miss Lianxiang was punished was Because Aunt Su is pregnant with a child."
"Aunt Su? Is she the one who was choked to death in the house?" Li Zhun wondered: "What is the relationship between Aunt Su's pregnancy and Miss Lianxiang's punishment? Even if the young lady is to blame, why should she be blamed? It’s on the young master.”
"This matter has nothing to do with the young master." Zhou Yu'an stood up and said in a Chunhong tone: "The young master treats the young madam and all the aunts in the house equally. The young madam is jealous and does not allow others to give birth to the young master's children. All the aunts are under the supervision of Miss Lianxiang. Anyone who stays with the young master overnight in the house, whether it is an aunt or a maid, will receive a childless pill as a reward from the madam."
"This Wuziwan..." He Hongyi's eyes were touched, and Li Zhun suppressed the next words: "As a young lady, but she has no tolerance for others, this Feng Lin is really inappropriate."
"It's more than inappropriate!" Zhou Yu'an complained: "Aunt Su's death is inextricably related to the young lady. Although Miss Lianxiang's punishment is related to Aunt Su, it is not just that."
Li Zhun made an ooh and said softly: "So, is there any inside story about Miss Lianxiang's punishment?
"This matter has something to do with the master." Zhou Yu'an turned to He Hongyi: "I heard that the master intends to marry Lianxiang."
"Nonsense." He Hongyi looked embarrassed: "That's just drunken nonsense. How can I, a master, accept a maid who marries his daughter-in-law?"
"The master said it unintentionally, but he said it unintentionally and the listener meant it. How could the young lady allow the maid to climb on her head? Beating Lianxiang is both an excuse and a warning. Lianxiang has resentment in her heart. It's understandable that Madam did some manipulation in the soup." Zhou Yuan turned his attention to He Si: "Although Longli is poisonous, it is not fatal. The young master's death was an accident. If I were Lianxiang, what would I have done after sneaking out? The first thing is to remove the evidence and clean yourself from this matter, rather than hang yourself with the evidence."
"So, Lianxiang was still killed." Li Zhun stretched out his arms: "After such a long circle, I figured out the reason for the young lady's murder, but I couldn't find the murderer who killed Lianxiang. Who is the murderer? "
"Housekeeper He Si!" Zhou Yu'an pointed at He Si and said in his extremely shocked, doubtful and hurt eyes: "Miss Lianxiang's nails were damaged, and there was blood in the gaps between her nails, which proves that she was being dragged. He had a conflict with the murderer. Butler He must have wounds scratched by Miss Lianxiang, and the wounds were either on the back of his hands or on his arms."
"That doesn't prove that I am the murderer!" He Si's eyes turned red and he looked directly at Zhou Yu'an: "My master ordered me to imprison Lianxiang. Lianxiang refused to argue with me. What's so strange about my injuries?"
"It's not surprising that you have injuries on your body. What's strange is that the coat that Lianxiang wore after her death was stained with your blood." Zhou Yu'an said coldly: "You were not there when Lianxiang died, and your blood was How did it get on her body? In addition to the blood, there is also gold sore medicine powder. You are the only one in He Mansion who has the smell of gold sore medicine. Let me test whether it is the same powder. He Si, how dare you say that you are not a murderer? murderer?"
