The next day, Ling Yun came to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice to report to Lu Wenzheng.
Lu Wenzheng, Yang Zhen and others welcomed him warmly, and then everyone sat down to study the case.
At this time, the school captain Liu Yong, who was ordered to track down Hua Ruyu's whereabouts, came back. His face was full of frustration and panic, and he reported: Something happened to Hua Ruyu!
Lu Wenzheng couldn't help being shocked and hurriedly asked for the details of the incident.
It turned out that Liu Yong was ordered to follow Hua Ruyu's whereabouts and found that everything was exactly as the madam said: Hua Ruyu stayed at Wang Zhongxian's house in Wangjiazhuang for two days and then returned today. However, an accident happened when the sedan chair passed by Baishi Ridge.
It turns out that Baishiling is located in a remote place, with lots of rocks and overgrown weeds, making it very lonely and desolate.
When Hua Ruyu's sedan passed through the mountains, dozens of robbers jumped out from behind the trees and rocks. They were all in black clothes and black trousers, masked and holding knives. They surrounded Hua Ruyu's sedan like menacing spirits.
Hua Ruyu was alone, with only a dozen or so people including a maid, bearers, and bodyguards. Seeing this, everyone was immediately frightened.
Thirty-six strategies are still the best strategy - escape is the most important thing, everyone abandons the sedan chair and runs away with their heads in their hands.
The bandit leader laughed wildly and gestured to the left and right; the strong men on both sides waved their swords and swarmed forward.
In the flash of swords and shadows, there were screams and blood. The dozen or so people in Zuihua Tower all died unexpectedly, and no one was spared.
The bandit leader laughed proudly and walked towards the flower-like sedan...
Liu Yong lowered his head and said: "Just like that, those bandits kidnapped Hua Ruyu. I wanted to step forward, but I saw that there were many people on the other side, and the bandits were all highly skilled in martial arts. But we were alone, and we were alone. The thieves were so outnumbered that if they stepped forward rashly, they would be hitting a stone with an egg, so they did not move forward, but quietly followed behind."
Lu Wenzheng said: "What happened next?"
Liu Yongdao: "I followed him all the way. When I reached the wild boar forest, the thief disappeared. I think the thief's den is nearby."
Lu Wenzheng said: "Okay. Liu Yong, you and your people will continue to search for information near the wild boar forest. If you have any clues, report them immediately."
Liu Yonglian claimed that he was, turned around and went out.
At this time, Tonger Rong'er brought Sun Wuzuo to see Lu Wenzheng.
After Sun Wuzuo bowed to Lu Wenzheng and saluted, he reported: "Sir, Miss Caiming's autopsy results have come out. I privately feel that the cause of death of the deceased is somewhat strange."
Lu Wenzheng's heart trembled unconsciously, and he looked at Sun Wuzuo with bright eyes: "How to say?"...
Sun Wuzuo said: "Ordinarily, the deceased should have died after his forehead hit the wall. However, after careful inspection, the villain found that the deceased's skull was only injured, and there were no signs of injury to the brain, temples and other vital parts.
"In other words, this injury alone cannot kill someone; therefore, the villain speculates: Caiming may have died from other reasons..."
After hearing this, Ling Yun turned his eyes thoughtfully.
Lu Wenzheng frowned slightly and asked him to continue.
Sun Wu said: "But the villain searched carefully and found that except for the wound on the forehead, he could not find a single wound on the deceased's body, and there was no sign of poisoning. Therefore, the villain was puzzled."
Ling Yun suddenly said: "By the way, sir, could you describe to me the appearance of the deceased's face after death?"
Sun Wu said: "The face is a little blue and the eyes are wide open, but after examination, it was proved that it was not poisoning."
Ling Yun's eyes trembled violently, and he murmured: "No, she must have been poisoned, a rare poison."
Everyone was startled, and several pairs of burning eyes focused on his face.
Ling Yun's clear eyes flashed and he said: "Do you still remember a few years ago, when Xiao Yongnian and Ouyang Zhen of the Tianxiao organization assassinated Ding Jiwu, they poisoned his accomplices with a special poison in order to silence them... …”
Yang Zhen lost his voice and said: "Hibiscus flower poison?"...
Lu Wenzheng's eyes lit up. He fully understood the meaning of this poison and hated it deeply.
He nodded approvingly and asked Sun Wuzuo: "I wonder, sir, have you ever heard of this strange poison? Is there any way to identify it?"
Sun Wuzuo shook his head in frustration, "The hibiscus flower poison villain has long heard of it. This poison is the most classic and most domineering unique poison in the Tianxiao organization. It is colorless, odorless, cunning and despicable.
"If a person is poisoned by this poison, he will die suddenly after twelve hours without any signs of poisoning.
"The most important point is that only people within the Tianxiao organization, and those at the top, are qualified to know how to identify this poison - the villain is an outsider, so he cannot identify this poison."
Lu Wenzheng twirled his beard and pondered.
The so-called sentence awakens the dreamer. Although it is not certain that Caiming died of this poison, it does not rule out this possibility, and this possibility accounts for a large proportion.
Nowadays, the case is becoming more and more involved. If Caiming is really proven to be poisoned by this hibiscus flower, wouldn't it mean that the Tianxiao organization is involved in the case? It can even be said that Tianxiao's people are manipulating all this?
But how will all this be proven?
Ling Yun frowned and pondered for a moment: "Sir, I thought of a person. She should know how to identify hibiscus flower poison. But I don't know if she is willing to cooperate with us."
Lu Wenzheng's expression perked up and he asked anxiously: "Who is this person?"
Ling Yun said silently: "She has a deep relationship with me... and the government. It is not convenient for me to mention her name in front of you now. Please forgive me. But if you think it is feasible, please give me a few days." I’ll give her a try when the time comes, but I’m not sure whether it will work.”
Lu Wenzheng said: "Okay, Zhichao. Don't have any worries or confusions. Just act on whatever you think in your heart. I support you."
Ling Yun said: "Thank you, Sir."...
The Jinming River swayed leisurely, and a ray of setting sun spread across the water, half of the river was rustling and half of the river was crimson.
The breeze ruffled the autumn water in the river, and also ruffled the brocade robes of a handsome young man standing attentively by the river.
The man is about thirty years old, with fresh and elegant black hair, slanting and straight eyebrows, sharp black eyes, thin and lightly pursed lips, sharp outlines, tall, slender but strong and upright figure, cold, arrogant and lonely Yet he is upright and upright, and even though he is alone, he always displays strength and elegance.
This person is none other than Ling Yun.
He has been waiting here all day since morning.
According to the previous dating method, he released a white dove with a calligraphy book tied to its leg from his hand, along with full of affection and expectation.
He believed that the white dove would definitely fly to her side and bring her to him.
At this time, he turned around and looked at the bloody setting sun on the horizon.
The sun went down little by little, and the sky became darker and darker; the moon slowly climbed up to the top of the willow tree, but she hadn't come yet.
The hope in his heart was sinking little by little, but he was not willing to give in. He still stood stubbornly in the wind, as motionless as a statue wrapped in silver.
He had made up his mind that as long as she didn't come, he would wait without hesitation.
The weather in autumn changes at any time. The weather that was originally fine suddenly turned gloomy; a cold wind blew by, the moon hid in the clouds, and sometimes a drizzle began to fall.
The rain fell like silk, falling on Ling Yun's face, and his lips felt cold. His clothes were also wet and clinging to his body, as damp as his cold, damp heart.
At this time, he finally heard the footsteps behind him; when he turned around, he saw a cold and charming woman dressed in black walking towards him step by step.
She was holding a long sword in her hand, wearing a black hood and a black shirt. Her face was covered by black gauze. Only her tight thin lips could be seen through the exposed gap. Her neck was as white and crystal clear as a branch. The thin snow has its own elegant and noble temperament.
Under the gentle breeze, her long hair was fluttering, and her lapels were dancing. Her expression and grace were extremely beautiful, yet extremely indifferent.
A smile appeared on Ling Yun's face: "Chun'er, you are finally here."
The person who came was Lian Nanchun. She stood there indifferently, with no trace of emotion on her face, "How long have you been waiting here?"
Ling Yun said: "It's been a day."
Lian Nanchun raised his eyes, his dark pupils filled with misty moisture, "What do you mean, if I never show up, you will keep waiting like this?"
Ling Yun's handsome face was as calm as water; he didn't speak, just looked at her silently.
Lian Nanchun slightly raised the corners of his lips and said coldly: "Why bother? What will happen even if I show up? I said that I have severed all ties with you. Don't expect me to give you any more promises. I What else can I do to help you?"
"Severance of grudges? That's good..." When Ling Yun heard these words, his body suddenly trembled; but the loss of attitude was only for a moment, and he soon regained his composure, "But these are private matters between you and me after all, I I am looking for you this time for public reasons rather than private reasons, so whether you can agree to my request or not, you should always give me a chance to appeal."
Lian Nanchun's originally upturned lips slowly retracted, he looked at him coldly and said, "Then just say it."
Ling Yun briefly explained the confusion about He Chengqi being drunk and hurting others, and the unknown cause of Caiming's death, and then said: "Now as long as we can identify whether Caiming was really poisoned by hibiscus flower poison during his lifetime, all the doubts can be solved. So. ——”
Lian Nanchun said: "So, you want me to tell you how to identify hibiscus flower poison, right?"
Ling Yun nodded, his peerless eyes as bright as stars, staring at her unblinkingly.
Lian Nanchun's eyes were dark, and he glanced at him with a chill of icy ecstasy. Then he turned his face away and said decisively: "Then I will tell you clearly: No!"...
