Chapter 76 Poison Identification
A man? The murderer could be a woman, or a man and a woman could be the culprit.
Jiusu pretended to be surprised and said, "Oh my god, how pitiful, he died just like that."
The proprietress's face was filled with disdain. She leaned closer and said, "I think they deserved to die. They were almost all playboys who always bullied little girls. Even though people kept dying, no one was overly panicked. Instead, they thought it was a punishment from God."
Then she sighed again.
"However, someone died again today, and it was a tragic death. Normally, they didn't have any bad habits, and everyone is panicking. They're all wondering if the murderer was just mad with rage."
Jiusu took a sip of his soup and said calmly, "The murderer felt that everyone admired him and regarded him as a messenger of justice. As a result, the murderer began to dislike any man with a stain on his character. You could say he was bloodthirsty."
The proprietress nodded in agreement and said worriedly.
"You're right, this is truly horrific. I hope the murderer is caught soon."
"I heard that the court has sent a detective, and they should be able to catch him soon." Jiusu paid the money, left the noodle shop, found a hidden place, released Ji Ran from the system, and they galloped on the deserted rain road.
It was so cold, but when I thought about the heavy burden I had to bear, I clenched my stiff and cold hands.
The atmosphere in the yamen was solemn. The family of the deceased had just come to make a fuss and threatened that if the truth was not found out within three days, they would go to Shengjing and kill themselves at the foot of the imperial city. This would be a matter of great shame.
Wang Daozhi was assigned to investigate the surrounding residents.
He didn't notice everyone's expressions at all and shouted, "Jiang Jing, there's a woman looking for you outside. She's pretty. Could she be your mistress? Are you here to investigate a case or to play with women?"
Yang Xu's face darkened, and a storm gradually brewed.
He picked up the teacup and threw it towards the door, hitting Wang Daozhi right on the spot. He cursed, "If you don't want to be an official and investigate cases, then go back home. You're just gossiping, right? Drag him out and give him ten lashes. If I see anyone else gossiping again, the consequences will be even worse! Jiang Jing, go take care of your personal business and don't hinder our efficiency in handling the case."
The two officers dragged Wang Daozhi, who kept begging for mercy, far away.
"Sir, I was wrong, please don't hit me..."
Jiang Jing clasped his fists and ran out of the house under the teasing gazes of the crowd. He paused, looked at the familiar figure, and the corners of his mouth trembled uncontrollably. If he had not been so nervous today, he would have thought he was dreaming.
The dark clouds made his skin look pale and cold.
He held her in his arms, "A Su, why are you here?"
"This case is very dangerous. I'm worried. Moreover, I'm afraid someone will put too many obstacles in your way. Oh, I met the prince." Jiusu whispered in his ear, "We'll talk about this later. What's the situation now?"
Jiang Jing said: "I have been following Lord Yang to investigate the case, and I am currently looking for information about the deceased this morning."
Jiusu nodded. She looked up at the man who was looking at her and smiled helplessly.
"Take me to see Lord Yang, and I'll investigate with you."
Jiang Jing hesitated for a few seconds, wondering if Ah Su would be insulted because of him. He pinched her fingers and said in a deep voice, "I'll take you there. Just now, Wang Daozhi..."
"Damn! This kid is teasing me behind my back. I was wondering why I sneezed and thought I had a cold." Jiusu's eyes fell on the man in the yard who was trembling after being beaten.
There was hatred in his eyes.
Tsk tsk tsk, I’m hated as soon as I get here. She and Ajing are really annoying.
Jiang Jing looked at the cute and mischievous expression on her face, silently holding her hand, passing by the resentful Wang Daozhi, and walked into the room. He clasped his fists and said, "Master Yang, this is Jiusu."
"Greetings, Lord Yang." Jiusu bowed with his hands pressed down.
Yang Xu looked at Jiang Jing speechlessly: "..." His expression seemed to be saying, you really brought a woman?
Wang Daozhi gritted his teeth, limped in pain, and had a strange and sneering expression on his face.
"Jiang Jing, are you crazy? Lord Yang is so polite to you, and you really want to take advantage of him? This is the officialdom, not the love field. Why did you bring a woman here? Can it help you relieve your loneliness at night?"
Jiusu sneered, "Since you look down on women so much, then let someone else give birth to you. Go back to the eighteen levels of hell and don't come out to be reincarnated."
The prefect looked at her. Isn't this Chen Zhao's wife?
I heard that you got divorced, so how come you are getting together with Jiang Jing?
"Miss, you'd better leave immediately. We have something important to discuss. Otherwise, we will have to kick you out."
"Sir Yang, Sir Prefect, I am not here to cause trouble, but to help." Jiusu put away the coldness on her face and said sincerely and respectfully.
Wang Daozhi's wound hurt from laughing.
He pointed at Jiang Jing and Jiusu and said disdainfully, "You're here to help, you're here to help, are you taking this for granted? Come on, throw these two people out who are trying to make trouble!"
Jiang Jing stood in front of Jiusu.
Jiusu said, "Master Yang, if I didn't have any real talent or knowledge, I wouldn't come here to embarrass myself."
Yang Xu raised his hand. He had been looking at Jiusu. It seemed like he had seen him somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember where. Never mind. There were so many similar people in the world. There was nothing to be surprised about.
"Oh? Miss, what real talents and knowledge do you have?"
"A lot." Jiusu smiled lightly, "Let me show you how to identify poisons."
Seeing that Lord Yang was interested, the prefect also wanted to do Chen Zhao a favor and politely agreed, "Miss Jiu, what does this poison identification mean?"
Jiusu patiently explained, "You can prepare a few cups of tea and poison them. I can identify which cup is poisonous and what the poison is."
The prefect looked at Yang Xu, then he stood up and clasped his fists.
"Then I will prepare it."
After a while, the maids brought five cups of tea and placed them on the table. When they left, they looked inside curiously. Why were so many poisons prepared? Did someone make a mistake?
It's really scary, let's leave quickly.
Avoid getting into trouble.
Yang Xu accepted the answers from the prefect. They were all extremely poisonous, some of which he had never even heard of. He said, "Young lady, please start."
Jiusu picked up the teacup and the name appeared on the bracelet.
"The first cup is non-toxic, the second cup is poison, the third cup is arsenic, the fourth cup is non-toxic, and the fifth cup is oleander... and thunder god vine."
Emmmm, I was almost exposed. There was actually a next page on the bracelet. Fortunately, it was only two seconds apart.
Bang!
Yang Xu slammed the note on the table, closed his eyes and shook his head.
Wang Daozhi pointed at Jiusu and cursed, "You stinky bitch, how dare you fool us? Come on, throw this woman out and give her twenty lashes!"
"You're the one who should be thrown out!" Yang Xu scolded harshly. He threw the note for everyone to see. "Miss Jiu is absolutely right. Her abilities are thousands of times greater than yours. Everyone else should leave, but Miss Jiu should stay."
In this dark murder case, we finally got a 'capable general'.
