late at night.
The moon is bright, the stars are few, and everything is silent.
In a fairly tidy bedroom, Xu Zhen was checking with Qin Yin the information collected during the day.
In just one afternoon, Qinyin recorded a thick pile of information.
It included the family information and details of Meng Qinghui's family, as well as the information of all the people who attended the wedding banquet that year, and even took the time to register and create a register for Li Youcai's subordinates.
"Master," Qin Yin inherited the title of his daughter-in-law Youmeng and asked Xu Zhen, "With this information, can you find out the person who poisoned her?"
Xu Zhen looked at the information, shook his head slightly after a while, and said casually: "It's not that easy."
"Oh." Qinyin didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, so she could only look at Xu Zhen quietly, her big Kazilan eyes bright and moving.
"Qinyin," Xu Zhen asked, "have you ever heard of such a powerful poison?"
"No," Qin Yin quickly shook her head, "The poison may be able to achieve that kind of effect if poured into a glass of wine alone, but it has never been heard of poisoning so many people being poisoned in a wine vat."
Tsk tsk...
Yes, Xu Zhen was also confused. Such a violent poison was not even recorded in "Xuan Dao", and even Li Chan'er, who came from Jianghu, had never heard of it.
Yaochang Village is only in the business of selling medicines, but has nothing to do with poisons.
Therefore, Xu Zhen had a bad premonition that such a rare poison might not be available to the public.
In that case, this case will be really difficult to solve!
"Master," Qin Yin asked timidly, "We... um... what should we do if we can't find the murderer?"
"Oh?" Xu Zhen raised his head and realized that Qin Yin had been uneasy and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I...I just don't want to stay in a place like this for too long," Qinyin said worriedly, "The yin here is so strong, look at those people who look so scary."
"What?" Xu Zhen was surprised, "Aren't you an expert in disguise? Are you still afraid of this? Besides, those people are not bad people, they are just victims."
but……
Xu Zhen then thought that the Yin Qi in Yaochang Village was indeed quite strong.
So many people died three years ago, and Meng Shaojun's family died a few days ago. Could it be... that Feng Shui is really bad?
When he thought of this thought, he couldn't help but think of the white fox again.
At the sight of the white fox rising from thousands of graves.
I don’t know where this legend came from…
Xu Zhen naturally didn't believe this nonsense, so he immediately picked up the cup, took a sip of tea, and turned his eyes to the information.
"I have never disguised myself in such a scary way," Qinyin said with a worried face, "Master, I'm so scared. Can I sleep with you later?"
puff……
The tea I just took a sip of, spurted out instantly.
After spraying, he realized that he had lost his temper.
Although his child bride Youmeng has been upgraded to a real wife, it is a natural thing to want Qinyin, a maid, to accompany her to bed, and Youmeng will not have any objections.
In the Daxuan Dynasty, serving the head of the family was one of the jobs of the maids. Of course, once they were favored by the head of the family, they would also have the opportunity to improve their status and change from maids to concubines.
In fact, in ordinary wealthy families, it would be considered a very shameful act to buy a beautiful girl like Qin Yin as a maid.
But Xu Zhen was not from a wealthy family, so it didn't matter.
In fact, even if they really come from a wealthy family, Yixu Zhen's character doesn't matter.
At this moment, seeing Qin Yin's eager eyes, Xu Zhen immediately straightened his posture and said in a very serious manner: "Okay, I won't do this next time!"
Xu Zhen is not a saint. In order to integrate into this world as quickly as possible, he has to follow the local customs, right?
However, Qinyin got under the quilt early and waited for him, but he didn't follow him in such a hurry.
Perhaps out of a little embarrassment, he went over the case again as usual.
It had to be said that the mass poisoning case in Yaochang Village was more difficult to handle than he had imagined.
First of all, the purpose of the murderer's poisoning seems unclear.
Xu Zhen couldn't determine whether the poisoning was only for Meng Qinghui, or for Meng Qinghui's family, or for everyone in their Yaochang Village?
If it's the former, then we need to investigate in detail all the people who have enemies with Meng Qinghui's family.
But they had checked them all three years ago and found no suspects.
If it's the latter, then you have to check carefully to find out who has a problem with Yaochang Village!
However, Xu Zhen asked Li Zheng today and they said that Yaochang Village has been in the medicinal business for a hundred years and has no conflict with other villages.
Moreover, after the incident happened to Meng Qinghui's family, Meng Shaojun's family from the same village took over. There was no news that anyone outside the family benefited from Meng Qinghui's family.
This external vendetta does not seem to be taking shape either.
The second point is the root problem of the poison.
If poison does not come from the people, where else can it come from?
Could it be...that it's the imperial court?
It shouldn't be, Xu Zhen immediately denied, because it was too simple for the court to recruit a wealthy private businessman like Meng Qinghui, and there was no need to use such complicated means.
But if it wasn’t the imperial court, where did the poison come from?
Finally, there is a crucial point.
That is how the murderer poisoned him?
According to the information currently available, everyone who attended the wedding banquet confirmed that no strangers were present on the day of the accident, and even the cooks and kitchen helpers were from the village.
Therefore, they are more inclined to believe that the poisoner is an acquaintance who attended the wedding banquet!
Who could this person be?
…
After a sweet and warm night, Xu Zhen felt much more relaxed.
The sound of the piano indeed has a unique East China Sea legacy, which gave Xu Zhen an extraordinary experience.
In this way, Xu Zhen has achieved the original purpose of taking Qinyin with him, and his understanding has indeed been enhanced.
Of course, a good experience is a good experience, and work must continue.
The next day, the investigation work escalated, and Xu Zhen made multiple work arrangements in succession.
First, under the witness of Xu Zhen, Li Zheng, and Baozheng, Qinyin made a detailed registration of Meng Shaojun's family property in case anyone was still thinking about Meng Shaojun's family property.
Secondly, Xu Zhen asked the villagers to help draw two maps. One was the overall map of their Yaochang Village, and the other was the floor plan of Meng Qinghui's house.
Next, Xu Zhen found a room and began to conduct individual interviews with everyone who had attended the wedding banquet that year.
While asking, Xu Zhen also showed the corresponding person's residence location on two maps, as well as where the person sat at the wedding banquet.
Neither Li Zheng nor Baozheng had ever seen such an investigation before, and they all felt very fresh.
However, what seemed fresh to them was boring and helpless for Xu Zhen.
Again, there are no photos of the crime scene, no autopsy report, not even a file. Now that times have changed, he can only start from scratch...
…
