Wei Chen is not very clear about Xu Mian's identity.
He was also in a hurry to order Mao in the Imperial Academy. He took two meat buns and ran out in a hurry.
After breakfast, Jiang Wei plans to read some medical books and wait for Gu Fei to come back.
Who knows, she only read two pages of the book, and her eyelids drooped involuntarily.
When a Tao came over, he found Jiang Weiwei sleeping on the table.
A Tao was worried. She gently pushed down the river.
Jiang Wei opened her eyes. She rubbed her sore arm and found that she had just fallen asleep. She couldn't help being surprised: "how did I fall asleep?"
Then she asked, "has Alfie come back?"
"Not yet," advised ah Tao. "You don't look very energetic. Why don't you go back to your room and lie down for a while. If brother Gu comes back, I'll inform you."
Jiang Weiwei was really sleepy now, so he responded: "then remember to inform me."
"OK."
Jiang Weiwei went back to his room and lay down. After a while, he fell asleep again.
A Tao Ran to the backyard to find Gu De.
She said anxiously, "Uncle De, sister Wei doesn't know what's going on recently. She's often sleepy and looks very bad. Should she be ill?"
Gu de was also worried when he heard this. He wrote on the small blackboard he carried with him.
"When the young master comes back, tell him about it."
Tao nodded and said yes.
At this time, Gu Fei was upset about Xu Mian.
After searching all night, they finally found Xu Mian in an inn in the city.
But when they kicked open the door and rushed in, they saw that Xu Mian had killed himself.
What the royal guards finally found was a cold corpse.
Put this baggage next to the body. It was full of silver notes of one hundred and twenty denominations.
Royal Guards also found a suicide note from Xu Mian's clothes.
Xu Mian personally wrote the suicide note. In the suicide note, he confessed to the fact that he had embezzled and accepted bribes under the guise of famous doctors of the Xu family, and repeatedly said that these things were done by him alone and had nothing to do with others.
Gu Fei looked at the suicide note sent to him, and his face was particularly gloomy.
He knew that Xu Mian was actually a scapegoat pushed by Xu Yizhi.
But Xu Mian is dead and there is no proof of his death, which means that the clue is completely broken.
And all their previous efforts were in vain.
Gu Fei slapped the suicide note on the table.
The table banged.
The two thousand households standing next to each other looked at each other and were at a loss.
They didn't follow Gu Fei for a long time, but they could see that Gu Fei was definitely not in the pool. This person was unique in both mind and ability. Before, they thought carefully, but later, when they saw Gu Fei's means, they gradually stopped those thoughts and only followed Gu Fei calmly.
At ordinary times, Gu Fei is always happy and angry. This is the first time they have seen Gu Fei get so angry.
For a long time, they heard Gu Fei speak.
"What about Xu Mian's family?"
A thousand households stepped forward and replied, "they are still living in their own home. We have sent someone to guard near their home to ensure that they can't run."
Gu Fei said, "bring them here and I will interrogate them."
"Here!"
Gu Fei believes that even if Xu Mian is dead, Xu Mian's family must know something, even if it's just a clue. It's better than having no clue now.
But the fact gave him a heavy hammer again.
Xu Mian's family died overnight!
Gu Fei suddenly got up: "how did you die?"
The royal guards were covered with black dust and were very embarrassed: "their family suddenly ran out of water in the middle of the night last night. Our people rushed in to save people immediately after they found it, but the fire burned too fast. When we rushed in, the beams of the house had been burned down. All Xu Mian's family were inside, and no one was spared."
"Didn't I ask you to keep an eye on their family?"
"We've been staring at it all the time, but someone suddenly approached us in the middle of the night yesterday. We thought the man wanted to break into Xu Mian's house, so we divided two people to stop it. It was at this time that Xu Mian's house suddenly caught fire."
A thousand families said bitterly, "lure the tiger away from the mountain!"
Another thousand households asked, "even if there is a fire, it is impossible to burn down the beams all at once? Could someone deliberately set fire? "
The royal guards truthfully replied: "we also suspected that it was possible, but after on-site investigation, no traces of man-made arson were found."
Two thousand households do not believe it.
Even a house built of wood can't burn down the beams in such a short time.
There's definitely something strange in here!
Gu Fei suddenly asked, "where are the remains of Xu Mian's family?"
The royal guards immediately replied, "all of them have been transported back to Fu Si in North Town."
"Let him examine it carefully and see how they died."
"Here!"
Two thousand families looked at Gu Fei and asked tentatively, "does the governor suspect that those people did not die in the fire?"
Gu Fei said coldly, "there are so many people in their family. If there is an accidental fire, it is impossible that they can't even run out. It is likely that they have fainted or died before the fire."
Two thousand families are like being enlightened. It is indeed possible!
Then comes the time for Wuzuo to show his skills.
The work level of Fu Si in Beizhen is quite high. After some inspection, it is really found that Xu Mian's family died before the fire.
Gu Fei looked at the dozens of corpses neatly placed in front of him and asked expressionless, "what is the cause of death?"
He replied respectfully, "he died of poisoning."
"What poison?"
"This has not been tested yet. According to my experience, it should be a highly toxic poison that can kill people quickly in a short time, such as arsenic."
Gu Fei asked, "can you be sure it's arsenic?"
He shook his head and said, "No."
There are twelve people in Xu Mian's family. If so many people can be poisoned at the same time, there must be a lot of poisons. As long as you follow this clue, you can certainly find a trace.
But he couldn't determine what kind of poison it was, which made Gu Fei have no place to start.
Just when the case reached an impasse, someone suddenly came to the palace.
The visitor is a little yellow gate. Gu Fei once saw him around the son of heaven.
Xiaohuangmen said with a smile, "Gu Zhenfu envoy, the emperor called you into the palace. Please follow me."
Gu Fei knew that the emperor must have called him into the palace for Xu Yizhi's case.
He asked Wuzuo to continue to examine the body, try his best to find out what kind of poison it was, and then followed xiaohuangmen into the palace.
Sima fan was watching the little prince practice riding and shooting. When he saw Gu Fei coming, he smiled and asked, "how's Xu Yizhi's case?"
Gu Fei arched his hand and said, "Wei Chen is incompetent and has made no progress."
