Di Xue and Chu Ran saw surprise in each other's eyes.
If the two were really poisoned to death, but whether after entering the prison or before entering, does it have anything to do with Concubine Li?
A series of questions came to Di Xue. Seeing that Di Xue's brows were knitting together unconsciously, Chu Ran couldn't help but reach out to help her smooth them.
But when he reached it, he missed it. Di Xue stepped back and said:
"Chu Ran! Do you want to smear corpse mud on my face?"
After listening to Di Xue's words, Chu Ran realized that he had not taken off his gloves, but he couldn't help regretting why he was so careless.
Fortunately, Di Xue was focused on the case, so Chu Ran quickly changed the subject and said:
"This poison is called fish tail, and it is a kind of grass that grows on dry tidal flats. This kind of grass is not poisonous when eaten alone, but if it is refined, it is very toxic. After being ingested, it will cause symptoms within half an hour. Death."
After Chu Ran finished talking about Han Shu, he asked:
"Then why is it called fish tail? Is it because it grows on the tidal flats?"
"It's because those who are poisoned will have deep red vertical stripes all over their bodies, which look like fish tails. Those who are severely poisoned will have red vertical stripes on their bones, just like these two white bones!"
After Chu Ran finished speaking, the old man walked over tremblingly:
"My lords, did my son-in-law die of poisoning? Was she poisoned by fish tail poison?"
Di Xue nodded and asked in surprise:
"Dad, do you also know about the poison of this fish tail?"
The old man seemed to have not heard Di Xue's words and kept talking to himself, but then he denied:
"This is impossible. The poison in the fish tail is my daughter-in-law Zhao Huihui's own poison. Before she left for Yuanjing, she found it from the bottom of his father's box. She said it was for self-defense. They couldn't have been poisoned by her own poison! "
The words of the father-in-law of the Yang family made Di Xue fall into deep thought. What he said was quite reasonable.
This poison turned out to be Zhao Huihui's own, but what happened that caused her to be poisoned by her own?
Was the poison stolen, or was she trying to give it to someone else, but was killed instead? Wives and concubines are possible.
But there are too few clues at the moment to make a judgment, so Di Xue can only follow the steps step by step.
So Di Xue turned to look at the two white bones and studied them carefully.
When Han Shu saw Di Xue looking at the two white skulls, he immediately understood what she meant and ran to the side to prepare a pen and paper and handed it to Di Xue.
After Di Xue took it, he began to draw on the paper without hesitation, sometimes looking at the bones, sometimes sketching on the paper.
After a stick of incense, the painting was finished.
After Di Xue handed the painted portrait of Xiao Yang to her husband,
The father-in-law burst into tears immediately after taking it. Perhaps it was because he hadn't seen his son for too long. The father-in-law's body was shaking from crying. Han Shu quickly helped the father-in-law aside.
After resting against the tree for a while, the old man calmed down a lot, but his voice was still very excited:
"Master Di is really a god, and Xiao Yang looks like this! If you can solve the case, our whole family will thank you!"
Di Xue waved her hand to signal to her husband not to be polite, and then concentrated on studying the other set of bones.
I saw Di Xue repeating the steps just now, half a stick of incense and the past, and the last stroke of the painting was put down.
Di Xue handed the portrait of Zhao Huihui that she had just painted to her father-in-law again.
But this time, his husband looked at it carefully for a while, and then he was shocked and lost his voice:
"This is not her! I have never seen the person in this painting, and it is definitely not Zhao Huihui!"
Di Xue quickly asked: "Isn't that Zhao Huihui up there?"
"No, the face of the person in this painting is a little ugly, but Zhao Huihui is famous for her beauty from all over the country! My family also took a fancy to this at the beginning, and they married her with great grace."
After the father-in-law finished speaking, Di Xue quickly took the portrait and looked at it carefully, then looked at the bones in comparison, and finally said:
"There may be differences in whether this painting is fat or thin, but the basic appearance is absolutely correct. If the portrait is not of Zhao Huihui, then the bones must not be of Zhao Huihui!"
After Di Xue finished talking about Han Shu, he said:
"My master's painting skills are amazing and he will never make mistakes. Could it be that the problem was when you were looking for the body? You must have found the wrong person at that time!"
The old man thought for a moment, shook his head and said:
"These two bones were picked up from mass graves by my mother and I. At that time, the corpses were still full of flesh and blood, but Zhao Huihui's face was burned and changed beyond recognition, but the clothes she was wearing were made by my old lady. We I will never admit my mistake!”
Di Xue nodded. What the father-in-law said was not unreasonable. Besides, the two corpses were poisoned by the same poison. If they picked it up by mistake, the possibility was too small.
It seems that someone may have deliberately disguised the body as Zhao Huihui's.
However, a question that arises from this is, when was Zhao Huihui transferred? Was it before entering prison or after entering prison?
What was the purpose of that person doing this, whose body belonged to him, and where was Zhao Huihui’s body?
Just as Di Xue was thinking about it, Yang Zhier's voice came from the distance:
"Grandma asked everyone to go back to eat!"
When everyone looked around, they saw Yang Zhi'er hiding behind a tree in fear, not daring to look at the cemetery.
So Chu Ran asked Di Xue to accompany Yang Zhier, while he and Han Shu restored the cemetery.
Half an hour later, the two finally restored the cemetery. Since people often walked here, they spent some time on it.
Everyone followed Yang Zhier and her father-in-law towards the Yang family.
After a while, the Yang family courtyard on the outskirts of the city appeared in front of them.
Di Xue looked around and saw that the small courtyard was surrounded by earth walls and the door was made of thin wood. When entering the courtyard, there were some fenced areas.
There were some food troughs in one of them, which looked like they were used to raise poultry, but they had been abandoned for a long time.
There are ridges on the side, which is a place for growing vegetables.
The house was built of mud mixed with straw and looked a little dilapidated.
Everyone walked into the house. Grandma had already prepared meals. Since the house had not been open for a long time, many things were borrowed from neighbors.
Di Xue ate the home-cooked food made by her grandma. Although it tasted good, the mystery in her heart was still unsolved, so she still tasted nothing.
Seeing that Di Xue didn't eat much, Chu Ran thought the food was not to his liking, so he filled a bowl of soup and handed it to her.
After taking it, Di Xue lowered her head and drank, then looked at her own shadow in the soup. Suddenly a trace of suspicion flashed through her heart. Could it be that Zhao Huihui was not dead at all and was still alive and well!
So I immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks, ran to the side, picked up paper and pen, and started drawing quickly.
In less than half a stick of incense, Di Xue drew the portrait and handed it to grandma:
"Grandma, is the woman in this portrait your daughter-in-law Zhao Huihui?"
Grandma took the portrait and looked at it carefully and said:
"This is Zhao Huihui, but she looks more rounded!"
Di Xue nodded, seeming to be closer to the answer.
Seeing the disguise, Chu Ran quickly took the portrait and couldn't hide his shocked expression after seeing it:
"How is this possible? How could it be her!"
