Shen Hao didn't explain, didn't want to explain, and Li Qing could only hold back her curiosity. At most, she muttered in her heart: Bah! What's so great about it? I don’t care to know!
But in the end, I was still curious and wanted to know why Shen Hao was suddenly interested in this luxurious bottle among the things on Qin Xiuyuan's body. What is gum? A kind of food?
Gum is indeed a kind of food, but it is not to satisfy your taste, but to freshen your breath. Swallow it with wine and slowly release the aroma from your stomach, making your breath smell better.
Because it is eaten in the stomach, it is made from some precious medicinal materials. It is a kind of thing between ordinary pills and elixirs. It is more expensive, a luxury and of little use. Ordinary people will spend hundreds of taels of silver to buy a bottle of more than a dozen gums? Almost crazy.
Shen Hao has never eaten that stuff. Most of the people in Xuanqing Wei are like him. Their rough voices are not suitable for such delicate things. The most popular thing among them is killing talents, not whether your words sound good or not. Smell, even if your mouth really smells bad, no one will care, and no one will kiss you. But he has seen many people using this thing, such as the singer in the flower house.
If the singer has bad breath or eats something with a smell, and then gets closer to talk... the scene will probably be like being beaten to death by the madam of Hualou. So singers have the habit of cleaning their breath. Or just put a piece of vanilla in your mouth, it's cheap and affordable, it's just a hassle. If you don't have money, use sugar.
Not only the singer, I also saw gum when I went to Liu Hengyi's house. Liu Hengyi also ate it. It is said that it is a quality of life. He talked a lot about this in a long way.
What Shen Hao understands is "trend" or "trend".
It seems that Qin Xiuyuan is also an upper-class person who lives a refined life.
Li Qing picked up the bottle that Shen Hao put back, smelled it, and suddenly realized: "It's also the fragrance of magnolia you mentioned! In other words, the reason why his blood has the fragrance is because he ate the fragrance in this bottle." Sugar" right?"
Shen Hao nodded. He didn't know what gum was, but this did not prevent him from judging the source of the scent in the blood clot.
After that, Shen Hao carefully inspected Qin Xiuyuan's body and found no special injuries, only some bruises and broken skin on the heels. , and looking at the ground where the body was lowered, it should have been caused by Qin Xiuyuan kicking the ground in extreme pain during the suffocation process.
Suffocated to death without any injuries?
Shen Hao took off his leather gloves, put them away, and then walked around the room again, even opening the windows. The surrounding environment is good, with ponds on three sides and a sentry post on the far side of the pond. There is only a stone road on the side entering the door. The environment is quiet, but access is not very convenient.
Standing up, Qin Xiuyuan's death now had a preliminary impression in Shen Hao's mind. The first thing to figure out now is how this person died.
"Are you looking for a coward?"
"No need to look for it, we Hawkeye have our own work. We'll be here soon."
"Do it here?"
"Of course. How troublesome is it to get it back?"
trouble? Shen Hao didn't know what to say. There were simply no words, but he was not going to stay and watch. When the time comes, the result of reading the works is that Hawkeye will not deliberately hide these things.
Wang Yiming came back at this time. He asked a royal guard and found three Qinza who were responsible for the house here.
"Tell me what you asked about."
"Sir, this house is indeed a guest room in Prince Shou's Mansion, and it is a very high-standard guest room. It will be cleaned every day even if no one is staying. Qin Xiuyuan came to stay the night before yesterday and never left during this period. house, but Qin Xiuyuan's appetite was not very good, and he didn't move much after the four meals were delivered. He just drank some millet porridge and some vegetables.
Qin Za and several others said that it would be a pity to throw away the remaining food because it was almost untouched. Two of them took it and heated it up for a late night snack. "
Shen Hao nodded and said in approval: "Good job. Let's go to the residence to have a rest."
Leaving now? Wang Yiming looked at the sky outside. Although it was indeed a little late, he didn't want to leave just like that, right? I wanted to ask but couldn't find it easy to ask, so I could only hold back and answer.
Li Qing glanced disdainfully and thought to herself: I thought he was really someone who could solve crimes, but how long did it take for him to be ready to take a rest? Tsk tsk, is this Xuan Qingwei's "evil star"? It's just a joke.
Shen Hao pretended not to see the emotions in the other party's eyes and led the people out of Prince Shou's Mansion.
As soon as Shen Hao left, Li Qing also left. She went back to the Yamen of the Criminal Department. She turned to the door of a public house, knocked on the door, and waited for an answer before pushing the door open and going in.
What caught Li Qing's eyes was Xue Gui wearing a black metal mask.
"Sir, my subordinate is back."
"Where is Shen Haoren?"
"Replying to your lord, the man surnamed Shen walked around the scene of the crime and left, less than an hour ago. According to my subordinates, that man is a person who is seeking fame and reputation. He also came here to gain the glory of our eagle eyes. You just take the credit." Li Qing bowed and replied politely. It could be seen that she sincerely admired Xue Gui, but she did not hide her disdain when talking about Shen Hao.
"gone?"
Xue Gui was writing at his desk. He was a little surprised to hear that Li Qing came back so soon. Shouldn't he be with Xuan Qingwei? It was actually Xuan Qingwei who left directly. Didn't you come to the Ministry of Punishment with you? Why does this help with the investigation?
Putting down the pen in his hand, Xue Gui said doubtfully: "Shen Hao has a great reputation in the Xuanqing Guards. Especially in the past two years, he can be said to be the most popular figure. His resume is rare and beautiful, and he is the governor of Jingxi. Jiang Cheng's protégé is definitely not someone who rose to power in a dawdle. Please tell me carefully what he did in Prince Shou's Mansion, and don't omit anything."
Although Li Qing disagreed in her heart, she still followed Xue Gui's instructions and recited everything Shen Hao said and did in Prince Shou's Mansion tonight, word for word. Finally, he said: "This man put on a lot of pretense, but in the end he left without understanding anything. Sir, do you think highly of the person named Shen?"
Xue Gui, however, was expressionless and remained silent for a long time before saying: "You are wrong. Shen Hao may have discovered some clues, but you just didn't understand them."
"Ah? Sir, what clues can he find with his nonsense like this?"
"He asked people to check the time and diet of Qin Xiuyuan. This was combined with the smell of the latrine in the house. This was to determine the cause of Qin Xiuyuan's death."
"What...what does this have to do with the cause of Qin Xiuyuan's death?" Li Qing didn't quite understand.
"Qin Xiuyuan had no fatal injuries on his body, but he died of suffocation. There seems to be no trace of the murderer breaking into the house. Is it possible that Qin Xiuyuan ate something that caused air blockage and finally suffocated to death?"
