Chapter 256 Sister Song is highly suspicious
Song Zhiwei reacted quickly and poured a cup of tea in front of Chen Zhe. Chen Zhe dipped his finger in it and then slowly slid it in the water. A reddish-purple color emerged from the tea. The atmosphere instantly became dull. "Where did this lip balm come from?"
After hearing everyone's questions, Zhou Qingli interrupted and said, "The lip balm was given to my queen by Concubine Rong. The lip makeup Concubine used at the banquet was the lip balm Concubine Rong gave her. Concubine also said that the lip balm Concubine Rong gave was good."
Now all the blame is directed at Zhang Rong.
Zhang Rong hurriedly explained, "It's true that I sent the lip balm, but it was given to me by the prince's wife. I saw that it was a valuable tribute from Jiangnan, so I couldn't bear to use it, so I gave it to the concubine."
Song Zhiyuan nodded in agreement, "I did give the lip balm to Concubine Rong, but I didn't know she would give it to the concubine. If I wanted to poison her, I had to ensure that Concubine Rong delivered the poison to the concubine. I have no way of controlling this."
After Song Zhiyuan finished explaining, everyone nodded in agreement.
"If Concubine Rong doesn't give it to the concubine, it will be useless for the prince's wife to poison her." Bai Qing believed Song Zhiyuan's explanation.
[Sister Song's suspicion is indeed not great. If it was Sister Song who poisoned the woman, how did Sister Song ensure that Concubine Rong delivered the poison to the deceased?]
If it was Sister Song who poisoned the victim, then it would be an accidental killing. However, Concubine Rong is not favored and cannot stand in Sister Song's way. Sister Song does not need to do this.
[With all the clues here, I actually think that Concubine Zhou Qing, Li Rong, and the Second Prince are the most likely suspects.]
Chen Jingmo frowned and analyzed, "The lip balm passed through the hands of three people: the prince's wife, Concubine Rong, and a palace maid. The prince's wife gave the lip balm to Concubine Rong, but it's not certain that Concubine Rong gave the lip balm to the concubine, so the prince's wife can be ruled out as a suspect."
"Now the only two suspects are Concubine Rong and the palace maid."
I really appreciate the actor's elimination method, but I'm curious if he had any selfish motives when he eliminated the princess consort.
"Even if you have one, you can't tell us. Didn't the movie star say that he would believe whatever Sister Song said?"
[Besides, the death of just a concubine, even if it meant the whole country, the movie star wouldn't even blink an eye.]
[After hearing what you said, the image of the actor as a tyrant has been completely established.]
[Also, there's a top star who blindly believes in his sister.]
Zhang Rong looked speechless. "I've already poisoned the walnut cake. There's no need to add another poison."
Lin Yu'an immediately interjected, "It's hard to say. Maybe it's for double insurance."
This possibility is not impossible.
Chen Zhe started pushing from another direction, "According to what we have found so far, there are three bottles of poison in total."
Song Zhiwei crossed his arms and muttered, "My poison is still sealed."
"So the suspicion of the prince's wife's brother can be ruled out. The other two bottles of poison found had been touched. One belonged to the Second Prince, and the other to the First Prince. The First Prince's poison was secretly poured by Concubine Rong. The poison was put into the walnut cake, but Concubine Rong did not eat the walnut cake.
In addition to the walnut cake, the lip balm was also sent by Concubine Rong. Concubine Rong has poison in her hand, and now I am not sure whether Concubine Rong's poison has entered the lip balm."
"The other bottle of poison was seized from the Second Prince. The Second Prince coveted the throne and had his staff lurking around the First Prince. The Second Prince had half a bottle of poison."
Song Zhiwei analyzed, "I think the palace maid is the most suspicious. She is often physically punished by the concubine and has the intention of taking revenge on her. She has read the book on developing Bai Qinglan and is the most likely person to poison her without being discovered by the concubine."
"Do we have to poison people just because we've seen it?" Zhou Qingli felt powerless to refute everyone's analysis.
At this moment, Shen Jingmo suddenly reminded, "Don't forget, there are two murderers."
"I almost forgot this important clue." Lin Yu'an had indeed forgotten this clue.
Not only Lin Yu'an, but several other members have already fallen into the idea of unilaterally poisoning.
"If there are two murderers, I think the palace maid and the second prince are more likely." Su Qian and Bai Qing expressed their thoughts almost in unison.
The murderer could be the palace maid and the Second Prince, or the palace maid and Concubine Rong. Both of them possessed poison, and both had used it. Cooperating with the palace maid was the safest option, and guaranteed to make the deceased take it.
Why doesn't anyone suspect Sister Song? I think Sister Song is also somewhat suspicious. The letter exchanged between Sister Song and the Second Prince is highly suspicious.
[Don't forget, the murderer can lie, Sister Song can lie.]
[The chances of Sister Song being involved are slim. The staff also exchanged letters with the Second Prince. If that's the case, the staff is also a suspect.]
[The only person I can confirm is the Second Prince. I always feel that the Second Prince is the most suspicious and has great ambitions.]
[The Second Prince's removal of the concubine could cause disputes.]
[I support the Second Prince and the palace maid, or the Second Prince and the concubine.]
[For the first time, I think what Lin Yu'an said makes sense. Concubine Rong can also put the poison into her mouth fat at the same time as the walnut cake, double insurance.]
If it's the Second Prince and Concubine Rong, then Concubine Rong's claim that the poison was stolen by the First Prince is contradictory. I'm completely confused.
Based on the existing clues, the scope of suspects has been greatly narrowed.
"For the rest of the time, everyone will continue to look for useful clues based on their own suspicions." Now they lack the key evidence to identify the suspect, and all their ideas are just their guesses.
Chen Zhe then added, "What we are looking for now is evidence of a connection between the two murderers."
Everyone searched the model rooms where the suspects were based on their suspicions.
The people who are most suspected now are Zhang Rong, Zhou Qingli and Cheng Yuhan.
Song Zhiyuan, Song Zhiwei and Chen Zhe all entered the palace maid's room.
Instead, Zhou Qingli went to the room where Song Zhiyuan was alone.
Zhou Qingli had turned Sister Song's model apartment upside down, even the rat hole was missing.
[Now Zhou Qingli urgently needs to find someone to take the blame for himself.]
Chen Zhe was searching the dressing table, Song Zhiwei was looking for the bed, and Song Zhiyuan was flipping through the books on the bookshelf.
Several other members went to Zhang Rong and Cheng Yuhan's rooms. Now Zhang Rong and Cheng Yuhan are also the main suspects.
Song Zhiyuan bent down and saw the books left under the cabinet. "Xiao Wei, come and help me move this bookcase."
After hearing his sister calling, Song Zhiwei immediately put down what he was holding and ran over. With the concerted efforts of Chen Zhe, they moved the bookcase against the wall away. There was a book underneath with a letter inside.
Song Zhiwei guessed, "Could it be a letter between the murderers?"
