Obviously, Du Xinyu was startled by Zhao Xuanyi's question, but it only lasted for a few seconds. Then he continued to take the half-meter-high paper money one by one, and gently placed it in the brazier to burn.
"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean, my lord. Should I kill the second lady? Didn't your lord just say that? The second lady committed suicide!" Du Xinyu answered very calmly, without showing any panic on his face!
"How could it be suicide?" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile.
"Why not commit suicide?" Du Xinyu asked. Zhao Xuanyi took a deep breath, stood up for the second time, and started walking around Du Xinyu's room again.
"There are too many strange things. First of all, the second lady is left-handed. Her teacup, rouge box, and some combs are all placed on the left. Only the brush for writing the suicide note is placed on the right. This is very strange. Abnormal!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he looked at Du Xinyu and saw that Du Xinyu was still burning paper money, with no change in the expression on his face. Zhao Xuanyi thought to himself, is this heart made of granite?
Or stainless steel? So calm?
"There are still many doubts. Looking at the second wife's suicide note, she must have been filled with regrets before she chose to commit suicide by taking poison. But on a suicide note full of regrets, the handwriting is very neat, and no trace of emotion can be seen. If she I really feel regretful and am about to die, yet I don’t shed a single tear? Is this still a human being?”
"With neat handwriting and neatly placed brushes, a dying person can be so calm? It's completely unreasonable. The most important thing is the makeup on her face!" Zhao Xuanyi said.
"Makeup?" Du Xinyu didn't understand what Zhao Xuanyi meant by this!
"It's okay for a dying person to die full of guilt, without a trace of sadness on her face! She still has such gorgeous makeup on her face. Would you know it if it were you?" Du Xinyu heard that and stopped talking. She found out Every conversation I have now is giving clues to Zhao Xuanyi, so I just don't make any sound anymore.
When Zhao Xuanyi saw Du Xinyu's micro-expression, he had already made up his mind.
"The biggest flaw, I think, is that the murderer is a novice. He is prepared for everything, but he does not know the reality. I have seen people who committed suicide by swallowing poison. Do you know what they look like when the poison occurs? ?" Zhao Xuanyi squatted in front of Du Xinyu, covering his stomach with both hands.
"It started with a stomachache. It hurt so much that they couldn't help but scratch it with their hands. The pain made them unable to stop. Maybe rubbing it could relieve the pain! Generally speaking, tearing clothes is normal. I have seen extreme pain. Yes, they will even scratch the skin on their stomachs!" After hearing this, Du Xinyu's expression became a little stiff!
"Then there's the neck. They'll scratch their necks hard because they can't breathe because of the poisonous hair. Some people even have hallucinations and start scratching their faces. This is what poisonous hair should look like. I think You should be able to imagine it!" Zhao Xuanyi said coldly.
Du Xinyu's breathing became a little messy, and her white forehead was covered with sweat, but she still didn't speak.
"When the second lady died, there were no traces on her body. Even her death posture was so peaceful. This is not consistent with the characteristics of someone who committed suicide by taking poison! There are only two ways to achieve this state. The first is to have someone Tie her hands, feet and body so she can’t move!”
"But this is impossible, because there are no signs of strangulation or struggle on the second lady's body. If this is the case, there is only one possibility, that is, someone first used drugs to stun her and then drank the poison, so that the deceased could quietly Death will not make any sound, even if there is someone outside the door, they will not notice it! Because all operations end in silence, are you right? Du Xinyu?" Zhao Xuanyi asked coldly.
Du Xinyu took a deep breath and continued to burn the paper money
"I really don't understand. Why are you telling me this, sir? Do you think that I killed him just because I went to the second lady's room? I go there every day!" Zhao Xuanyi slowly stood up and walked aside. Beside the dressing table, I slowly picked up a box of rouge
"The eldest lady is the eldest lady! This rouge is imitated by Cuilan. A box is not cheap, right? It should be about five taels of silver!" Zhao Xuanyi picked up a box of rouge and slowly opened it.
Du Xinyu saw Zhao Xuanyi picking up her rouge and didn't know what he wanted to do, but she was not afraid
"The rouge used by the second lady and I is different. If you like it, sir, I'll give it to you!"
"Really? Thank you!" Zhao Xuanyi put Rouge in his hand, then came to squat in front of Du Xinyu
"Hey, don't say I won't give you a chance! Surrender now, maybe you won't have to be killed!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile, as if he was discussing a game with Du Xinyu, there was no sense of tension!
Du Xinyu frowned instantly and stared at Zhao Xuanyi with disgust.
"Sir, if you want to find a scapegoat, you can go somewhere else. Why are you hanging around me?"
"Because you are a murderer?" Zhao Xuanyi said matter-of-factly. Hearing Zhao Xuanyi's confident tone, Du Xinyu smiled helplessly.
"Why do you say that? Do you have any evidence?"
"Of course! Has anyone said that your makeup is also very beautiful today?" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he came to Du Xinyu's cheek and took a breath, looking very rude.
"Yeah! It smells good!" Du Xinyu hurriedly moved away, his eyes becoming a little angry.
"Sir, please respect yourself!" Zhao Xuanyi ignored Du Xinyu's words and continued.
"You must be very happy today because you can avenge your dead mother, right?" Du Xinyu did not make any answer.
"So you put on beautiful makeup, rouge, lipstick, and blush! But you must not have noticed that when you apply rouge, your hands will be stained a lot! In this case , when you ghostwrite the suicide note, the rouge on your fingers will be more or less smeared on the pen!"
"Of course, you can say that you have a very good relationship with the Second Madam, and you lent her or gave her your rouge, and she put it on! But the decisive evidence is more than that. In my hometown, there is something called a fingerprint! That's it! You should be able to see the lines on the skin on your fingers!" Zhao Xuanyi stretched out his hand to Du Xinyu and said.
Du Xinyu looked at her little hand and saw the fingerprints Zhao Xuanyi mentioned.
"This fingerprint is like a person's appearance. Everyone has their own appearance, so it is almost impossible for two people to have the same fingerprint. I must have pressed the eldest lady's fingerprint on the paper, and then combined it with the rouge fingerprint falling on the pen. After making a comparison, the result is very clear. This is also the reason why the government detained the prisoner after interrogating him!" Zhao Xuanyi looked at Du Xinyu coldly.
"Miss, if these fingerprints match, you won't have anything to say, right? After all, no one has the same fingerprints as you. I can't ask you to help write a suicide note when the second lady commits suicide, right?" Du Xinyu slowly raised her right hand and read it Looking at his fingers, stroking them gently, there was no expression of fear on his face, but a smile.
"I'm curious, how did you find out it was me?" Does this unintentionally constitute an admission of crime? Zhao Xuanyi shrugged
"There are many reasons, and there are many clues in the suicide note, not only the handwriting, but also the content. The second lady confessed that she had taken the wrong medicine and killed your mother. To be honest, I have never seen anyone admit that they made a mistake in my whole life! "
"And you were the only one who came in and out of the Second Madam's room today. The maid Huanyu also went there, but she had no motive, and her eyes only had fear and sadness, without a trace of happiness or excitement. This is not a sign of vendetta! To sum up, I The only one I can think of is you, and you are so generous and leave so many clues!" Du Xinyu sighed, with an expression of hatred that was inappropriate for his age on his immature face.
"There is a gap in every hundred secrets!" Du Xinyu turned to look at Zhao Xuanyi, gave him a bright smile, and slowly raised his right hand.
"My lord just said that you can only convict me if you have my fingerprints. Right?"
"Not bad!" Zhao Xuanyi nodded and said. Du Xinyu's next move frightened Zhao Xuanyi out of his wits. Du Xinyu put his right hand directly on the red-hot brazier, and all he heard in his ears was "Zhila...!"
】There was a sound of barbecue, and then Du Xinyu let out a painful scream
"Ah...!" Zhao Xuanyi turned pale with fright. He ran over, kicked the brazier away, and grabbed Du Xinyu's right hand. He saw that Du Xinyu's right hand was covered with scalded cooked meat and blisters. It was extremely ugly, even Somewhat disgusting!
Zhao Xuanyi directly grabbed Du Xinyu's right hand and pressed it into the basin to relieve the pain of the burn. Zhao Xuanyi looked at Du Xinyu
"You madman!" Du Xinyu's face was covered with sweat, and his two big, watery eyes were full of tears, but there was a smile on his lips.
"Sir, your evidence is gone, you can't arrest me!" Du Xinyu seemed to be a victorious general, with a proud smile on his face, as if the whole world had lost to her!
Zhao Xuanyi took out the silk scarf from his pocket, wrapped it around Du Xinyu's hand, and looked at Du Xinyu with disappointment.
"Do you really think you won?"
"The fingerprints are gone, how can you convict me?" Du Xinyu asked with a smile.
"You are still too young. You are very smart, but you don't have a palace! I say everyone, come in!" Zhao Xuanyi shouted outside.
"What?" Du Xinyu had a bad feeling in her heart. As the door opened, Li Hanrui, Wang Heming, Du Chun, and Shen Wei all walked in. When Du Xinyu saw Du Chun, her face was filled with astonishment. She never expected that Du Chun would come!
Zhao Xuanyi slowly let go of Du Xinyu's right hand
"They have been listening outside. They heard what you just said. They can all testify that you committed the murder and destroyed the evidence! What else do you want to say?" Zhao Xuanyi asked softly.
Du Xinyu turned to look at Zhao Xuanyi, her eyes full of fear.
"You... how could you?" Zhao Xuanyi did not explain to Du Xinyu, but walked aside. Du Chun's eyes turned red and tears fell like rain.
"Du Xinyu, Du Xinyu, you are so cruel. I eat vegetarian food and worship Buddha every first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year. I never thought that at such a young age, you would actually kill your second mother, you unfilial daughter!" Du Chun finished speaking and raised his hand. I want to hit Du Xinyu with my hand.
Stopped by Li Hanrui
"Commander Du, please calm down. Let the government handle this matter!"
"You still dare to scold me? You coward!" Du Xinyu shouted loudly
"My mother was obviously poisoned to death by that bitch, but you still pretended that you didn't know what to do, and you still lived with her for so long. My own father who committed suicide didn't help me avenge myself, so I had no choice but to do it myself!"
"You still dare to talk back? Me? I'll kill you!" Du Chun was so excited that he wanted to beat his daughter to death, but was pulled aside by Li Hanrui.
Wang Heming walked slowly in front of Du Xinyu. Looking at such a cute girl, Wang Heming was shocked. How could such a beautiful and cute girl kill someone?
He couldn't believe it! Then he took out the velvet rope and tied Du Xinyu's hands.
"Du Xinyu, I am Shaoqing Wang Heming of Dali Temple. If you kill someone, I will arrest you and bring you back to Dali Temple for trial. Is there anything else you want to say?" Wang Heming asked coldly.
Du Xinyu didn't say anything to Wang Heming, but turned to look at Zhao Xuanyi with a sad smile.
"You must like mice very much! Without you, that bitch's son would be killed by me tomorrow!"
"Actually, I am a sheep!" Zhao Xuanyi said with a smile. Du Xinyu's big and smart eyes became a little dim at this moment. They lost the agility that they saw at first sight, and were full of sadness and emptiness. The whole person was like a doll without batteries, without any aura!
Wang Heming directly pulled Du Xinyu away. He would not let the murderer go, no matter who he was. Zhao Xuanyi hurriedly came over and stopped Wang Heming.
"Brother Wang, let me tell you something!" After Zhao Xuanyi finished speaking, he whispered a few words in Wang Heming's ear!
Wang Heming looked at Zhao Xuanyi in surprise
"you sure?"
"Trouble!" Zhao Xuanyi said. Wang Heming turned his eyes left and right, then looked at Zhao Xuanyi, without saying anything, he pulled Du Xinyu and left!
Du Chun in the room cried loudly. He lost two relatives throughout the day, one was his wife and the other was his own daughter. This kind of blow completely defeated him!
Zhao Xuanyi and Li Hanrui looked at it and shook their heads. Li Hanrui came to Du Chun's side and patted Du Chun's shoulder gently.
"Commander Du, please forgive me...! Let's leave first!"
