In the third lady's previous narration, it sounded like the old man of the Lin family had died.
He quietly stopped breathing one night. It was possible that he died of poisoning.
Items like poison have been used in various scenarios thousands of years ago, so they have a deep history and a huge variety.
Liang Yuanque has dealt with countless poisons, but he doesn't dare to say that he can accurately determine the types of poisons he encounters.
For example, he could tell that the corpse of the old man of the Lin family in front of him was poisoned, but he couldn't tell what kind of poison was used.
Judging from the fact that the Lin family did not discover the real cause of the old man's death, the murderer used a very secret and strange poison.
Liang Yuanque knew that there was a kind of poison that did not show any abnormality after a person died from the poison. It looked like he died suddenly and suddenly for no reason.
There are also some poisons that kill people invisible. The victim doesn't feel any discomfort at all and suddenly dies. Looking at the victim's behavior, people around him cannot even think of poisoning.
But as long as it is poison, there will be a reaction time in the human body. Some of the above-mentioned poisons actually do not have no symptoms at all, but the reaction time is relatively long.
Just like the old man of the Lin family, the signs of poisoning slowly appeared after the burial.
The stench in the coffin is precisely due to the reaction of the poison.
After all, the old man used a good coffin, the sealing was good, the body did not rot much, and the stench did not come from the stench itself.
It seems that this premeditated killing started from Mrs. Lin.
Liang Yuanque wanted to take a closer look at the condition of the corpse, but he couldn't stand the smell anymore, so he said to Zhuang Youjie,
"Give me the vial I gave you."
"Ah?" Zhuang Youjie held onto the tree with one hand, staring in confusion.
Because he had changed the topic just now, before he could ask Liang Yuanque what the vial was for, he put it into his pocket.
He dug in his trouser pocket for a long time and finally took it out, "Aque, what is this for?"
Liang Yuanque sighed helplessly, walked over and took the vial, poured the liquid inside into the palm of his hand, crushed it with his other hand, and applied it to Zhuang Youjie's temples.
Zhuang Youjie immediately felt that his temples were burning. After the burning, he felt very cool, and the sleepiness in his head was swept away.
Liang Yuanque wiped what was left in his hand under his nose. The cool smell could temporarily suppress the stench.
He threw the small bottle to Zhuang Youjie again, "Put some more on and come here to help."
Zhuang Youjie felt a little reluctant when he thought of the stinky corpse, but he also thought of the former partners Liang Yuanque mentioned yesterday, and he didn't want to be looked down upon.
I can't be the most useless partner in your life, right?
Young Master Zhuang cheered himself up in his mind. It was just a corpse anyway. He was already dead and would not stand up again. What was there to be afraid of?
Liang Yuanque took out a pair of gloves - these were the ones he got from Lin Jiashun - carefully reached his hand into the coffin and lifted the old man's head.
The old man's whole face was purple and black, and there was some rot in the eye sockets and corners of the mouth, but other parts were intact.
Liang Yuanque pinched open his closed mouth, and sure enough, dark and foul-smelling blood gushed out. He turned the corpse's head slightly to one side, drained the blood and began to examine the mouth.
Since the body did not decay, the condition inside the mouth was basically intact.
But the old man had lost a lot of his teeth, and his gums were obviously black.
Liang Yuanque looked through it and found that the teeth were not lost naturally after turning into a corpse, but the teeth were lost before the deceased was alive.
From this point of view, this is still death from chronic poisoning.
Just like there is mercury in the young master's room, the old master also slowly ingested a toxin for a long time before his death.
Since the dose taken each time is not large, no abnormality can be seen at all. When the accumulation reaches a certain level, it will die quietly.
This poison that eroded the gums should have been taken orally. In other words, the old man's diet was controlled by someone with deliberate intentions.
And controlled it for a long time.
It seems that the problem really lies within the Lin family, and the murderer has been lurking in the Lin family.
Therefore, it knows the past events of the Lin family and can commit murders without leaving any trace.
The murderer behind the scenes might be an inconspicuous servant, or it might be the Lin family themselves.
The only people left alive in the Lin family are the old lady, the third young lady, the eldest brother-in-law, and a crazy eldest lady. Everyone seems to be able to do it.
Among them, if the third lady already knows her life experience and what happened in the past, she will be the most motivated to commit the crime.
But at the same time, the eldest uncle also behaved very suspiciously. To put it more carefully, he was obviously an outsider. If he had done it, what was his purpose?
Kill the other heirs and annex the Lin family's property? That makes sense.
As for the eldest lady, Liang Yuanque also doubted whether she was really crazy, but her crazy words when they met sounded very real.
Especially when she mentioned "her" in her words, thinking about it now, she should be talking about Miss Mo.
The eldest lady is the eldest child of the Lin family. When the two young ladies of the Mo family died tragically, she should have already had memories.
It can even be said that it left a psychological shadow. After being violated by his biological father, his emotions were turbulent. The psychological shadow was once again stimulated, and he became what he is today.
Then there is the old lady, who seems to have the least reason to kill, but Liang Yuanque's purpose is not to take anyone lightly.
What if there is some hidden secret that they still don't know about? Learn to be suspicious of anyone until there is conclusive proof of innocence.
When he was in Liucheng, if it hadn't been for the investigation, even Zhuang Youjie would have been the object of his suspicion.
Only when he got definite evidence could he feel relieved about Master Zhuang.
Liang Yuanque thought for a moment and put down the old man's body. Zhuang Youjie mustered up the courage to stand aside, but he didn't know what he should do to help.
"Aque, I, what should I do?"
Liang Yuanque lay on the edge of the coffin and continued to look at the body parts of the corpse. He answered him without raising his head,
"Help take out the body later."
Even though Zhuang Youjie had done enough psychological preparation, seeing a slightly rotting corpse, his psychological defense gradually began to collapse.
Let alone letting him reach out and touch it!
Liang Yuanque had been with him for so long and knew him well. Knowing that he still couldn't bite the bullet, he said again,
"Forget it, you'd better call Xiao Linzi over."
Zhuang Youjie was just about to go when he suddenly froze on the spot again, staring straight at the corpse with a look of horror on his face.
Liang Yuanque felt something strange about him, frowned and raised his head to look at him, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhuang Youjie pointed at the corpse tremblingly and said,
"He, is he breathing?"
