By the time the three of them arrived at the former shed, no one was nearby, so they moved to another place to distribute food.
It's fenced off to prevent anyone from damaging the scene.
These things were not done by civil servants. When the eunuchs learned about the poisoning of the victims, they immediately sealed off the area with the Jin Yiwei.
Pan Xiaoxian walked over and checked the body: "Judging from the body, it should have been poisoned in advance."
Princess Changle followed and looked for a long time, but saw nothing.
Pan Xiaoxian walked over and after just a few glances, he saw that the victims had been poisoned.
Princess Changle asked: "How do you know they were poisoned in advance, not due to choking or other reasons."
Pan Xiaoxian took out a silver needle used for acupuncture and placed it in front of Princess Changle: "I just glanced at it casually, and the silver needle in my hand was inserted into the stomachs of several victims. Princess, from the silver needle What can be seen on it.”
"blacken."
Princess Changle replied subconsciously, wondering: "Why did the silver needle turn black?"
Pan Xiaoxian explained: "The contents in the stomach were poisonous. When the silver needle was tested, it was confirmed that the porridge these victims drank was not poisonous and had been poisoned in advance."
Princess Changle asked again: "How did you know to poison in advance?"
Pan Xiaoxian took out a silver needle again and inserted it into the throats of several victims. After pulling it out, you can see that the silver needle has not turned black.
"Something strange?"
Princess Changle couldn't figure it out: "If she was poisoned by rice porridge and ate it in her stomach, her throat would be black."
Pan Xiaoxian explained: "It means that the victims had eaten something poisonous a long time ago. The rice porridge had just reached their mouths and was poisoned before it reached their throats."
After finding the real cause of the victims' deaths, the next step is even more troublesome.
Pan Xiaoxian even felt that he had no idea where to start his investigation, because only he knew what the victims had eaten.
Zhang Fengyi frowned and said, "I will take people to arrest some family members of the victims. From the family members' mouths, we should be able to ask what the victims have eaten recently."
Pan Xiaoxian nodded: "Go back quickly, I'll wait for you here, remember to protect your own safety."
Zhang Fengyi's cold face softened a little, jumped a few times, and disappeared from sight.
Princess Changle's eyes lit up: "Zhang Fengyi is really powerful. There are few people in the Forbidden Army who are more powerful than her."
Pan Xiaoxian had a saying in his heart, no matter how powerful the Forbidden Army was, it had nothing to do with him, but Zhang Fengyi was different.
He has always been envious of Zhang Fengyi's long, snow-white legs.
Just because we haven’t had a chance to taste it now doesn’t mean we won’t have a chance in the future.
Zhang Fengyi came back soon, and brought several female guards with her to arrest the families of the victims.
When the family members of the victims came to Pan Xiaoxian, they were frightened and quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"My lord, spare your life, we didn't frame you intentionally."
"There is a death in the family. Please do me a favor and spare the lives of our family."
"Please, sir, even if you want to kill our whole family, at least leave a piece of incense behind."
Pan Xiaoxian looked at several victims kneeling on the ground, begging bitterly, and walked over: "You guys get up first, I am not one of those corrupt officials in the court who starts arresting people indiscriminately."
The victims looked at each other in shock and were unwilling to stand up because they did not believe what Pan Xiaoxian said.
Pan Xiaoxian was helpless and could only ask: "What did they eat before eating porridge today?"
The victims knelt on the ground, trembling, and dared not say a word.
Finally, a little girl spoke.
The little girl said innocently: "My father met an official and gave me a sesame seed cake."
Shaobing!
Pan Xiaoxian grasped the key point and hurriedly walked over and asked, "Who is the official who gave the sesame cakes?"
The little girl quickly backed away and hid behind her mother, not daring to speak.
Pan Xiaoxian knew that he was too anxious and scared the little girl, so he immediately took out some sweet pastries from the carriage.
The little girl swallowed when she saw the pastry, she wanted to eat it so much.
Pan Xiaoxian directly stuffed the pastry into the little girl's hand: "Eat it and tell me when you're done."
The little girl gave one to her mother, and then she ate it hungrily, almost choking to death.
Pan Xiaoxian handed her another bottle of water.
"Ahem."
The little girl drank some water, calmed down, and said timidly: "I don't know that official, I just remember that the official was wearing a green dress, one finger was missing, and he only had four fingers on his right hand. "
Pan Xiaoxian asked: "Are the clothes dark green or light green?"
The little girl thought for a moment and said, "Dark green."
With accurate information, the next step will be easier.
Pan Xiaoxian stretched out his hand, rubbed the little girl's head, and gave her another plate of pastries.
Zhang Fengyi said: "The officials who came to provide disaster relief this time have all been recorded. I will call them over."
Pan Xiaoxian nodded: "Remember, call all the officials wearing dark green official uniforms."
In the past, Pan Xiaoxian could not command officials, let alone arrest all the officials in dark green official uniforms for interrogation.
It's different now. With just one word, Jin Yiwei will arrest someone.
There were quite a few officials in green uniforms, thirty or forty people in total, all of whom were brought over by the Jin Yiwei.
Pan Xiaoxian walked over, looked at the green-suited officials standing in a row, and began to exert pressure.
The official in green clothes was panicking. He was not afraid of investigating the case, but he was afraid that Pan Xiaoxian would be framed.
Officials have done this kind of thing in the past. If you think about it, if you were Pan Xiaoxian, you would definitely frame the crime on one of the officials.
Pan Xiaoxian suddenly spoke: "Everyone, stretch out your hands."
The officials in green uniforms didn't know what to do with their hands, so they all held out their hands honestly, waiting for Pan Xiaoxian to check.
Pan Xiaoxian held the embroidered spring knife, walked over, and looked at the palms of the officials in green uniforms one by one.
According to the little girl, the official had only four fingers on his right hand.
"That's you!"
Pan Xiaoxian suddenly stopped, stared at an official who was sweating profusely, and asked coldly: "Who supported you in giving poisonous sesame cakes to the victims?"
When the official in green clothes heard the word "shaobing", he panicked completely, rolled his eyes, and fell to the ground.
Pan Xiaoxian originally thought he fainted from fright, so he picked up the kettle and prepared to water the official awake.
"not good!"
Zhang Fengyi exclaimed, hurriedly walked over, and pinched the official's teeth with one hand.
As a result, just as Zhang Fengyi expected, blood flowed from the corner of the official's mouth.
He committed suicide by taking poison.
"hateful!"
Pan Xiaoxian clenched his fist and hit the ground hard: "It seems that the people behind it are really not simple. They actually forced the official to commit suicide. Obviously he didn't want to implicate his family."
The green-suited official is dead, the clues have been cut off, and there is no possibility of continuing the investigation.
Pan Xiaoxian could only wave his hand: "Let's go."
The officials breathed a sigh of relief one by one and left as quickly as possible, trying their best to escape from here.
I was afraid that I would leave too late and be stopped by Pan Xiaoxian again.
Princess Changle gradually began to admire Pan Xiaoxian, and just through some simple questions, she caught the real poisoner.
