Ni Yueshan wasn't surprised by her words, but the woman frowned tightly and asked anxiously, "What exactly is it? Tell me everything!"
"...Young Master, actually, actually took off his clothes. After being bitten by a snake, I didn't dare to call anyone in directly. I was afraid that the young lady in the capital would know about what happened between me and the Young Master. So, I hurriedly put on my clothes and then helped the Young Master put on his clothes."
After saying this, he lowered his head with an expression of guilt and self-blame.
Ni Yueshan understood: "So this is why your young master's poison has spread for too long, and even fighting poison with poison can't save him?"
Ni Yueshan's words made Xiao Cui's face turn pale instantly, "I...I deserve to die!"
Then she kowtowed repeatedly on the ground. Ni Yueshan squatted down, looked at her, and asked, "Where is your young master's clothes?"
Xiao Cui looked at Ni Yueshan in confusion, and Ni Yueshan opened his mouth to hint, "That's the clothes your young master wears outside!"
Xiao Cui was stunned for only a moment, then said with a pale face: "Burned!"
Ni Yueshan's already frowned brows became even tighter: "Why burn it?"
"At that time, after the young master changed his clothes, he threw them into the storage bin because of the smell from the barbecue. But something happened to the young master, and the mistress had to return to the capital. Since this person died, the clothes naturally had to be burned!"
Ni Yueshan was almost pissed off by the maid in front of her...
Ni Yueshan stood up, what a waste of time!
She looked at Qingdie who had returned and said, "Let's go, go to the next dead person!"
Ni Yueshan was about to leave when the woman quickly stepped forward and asked, "Princess, what exactly did you discover? Please tell me."
Ni Yueshan turned back to look at the woman, his brows furrowed. "If Madam wants to know the results, then please stay for a few days. In winter, there's no rush to transport the dead back! I still need to investigate thoroughly, so I can't tell you anything for sure at the moment!"
After Ni Yueshan finished speaking, he walked away.
On the way, Ni Yueshan asked, "Did you check on this maid's bed just now? Did you find anything?"
"No suspicious items were found, only simple clothes and accessories."
Ni Yueshan had to temporarily rule out the possibility that someone had bribed her!
Ni Yueshan went to another tent and found a dead woman. Her eyes were closed and her face looked equally uneasy. Her face was distorted, purple and her lips were black.
A servant was kneeling beside her bed, crying. His clothes were neat and tidy. Ni Yueshan looked at the servant kneeling on the ground and asked, "Where is your young lady's coat?"
The servant looked at Ni Yueshan in confusion, not understanding what Ni Yueshan meant. Ni Yueshan had no choice but to explain, "Where is the clothes your young lady was wearing when she was bitten by a snake yesterday?"
The servant hesitantly pointed in a direction, which was the screen.
Ni Yueshan glanced at Qingdie, and Qingdie understood and walked towards the screen. Behind the screen, there were clothes scattered all over the floor. Then she handed the clothes to Ni Yueshan, and Ni Yueshan leaned closer to smell it.
After that, he looked over his clothes and asked in confusion, "It seems like the outermost piece is missing?"
The servant looked up and carefully examined the clothes in Ni Yueshan's hands, then said, "Yes, one piece is missing. Maybe it's still behind the screen?"
Qingdie shook her head: "I didn't find any other clothes."
"All of you get up and find the one that's missing."
The servants stood up and went to look for them separately. Ni Yueshan held her forehead with a headache. Her intuition told her that all the foreign trees were gone. Someone had found a way to throw them away!
Qingdie also noticed what Ni Yueshan was struggling with, so she asked, "Is there something wrong with the coat?"
"Yes! This is my suspicion at the moment. I suspect those snakes bite people because they have some smell on them! They might bathe and wipe themselves, but snakes are different. They are more sensitive to certain smells, and even so, they can still smell it!"
"But humans can't do that! They can only rely on the place with the strongest smell to determine whether they have been stained with something..."
"So, the thing that others are most likely to touch is their clothes and coats!"
"right!"
Qingdie showed an expression of realization. What a pity, the coat seemed to be ruined.
Seeing Qingdie fall silent with a look of regret on her face, Ni Yueshan said from the side: "Go check on the other three people."
The other three people are now in a coma, and there must be many people guarding the tent, so it is more likely that their clothes have been tampered with, and the problematic clothes have been thrown away long ago.
Qingdie went back to do it, and the servants searched the room to find the clothes, but they searched again and again and found nothing.
Ni Yueshan was not surprised at all when she learned the result. She only asked, "Who is your young lady's personal maid?"
Ni Yueshan questioned, and a maid raised her head and responded: "Your servant!"
"Let me ask you, who has your young lady been in contact with all day? Excluding the other four people who were involved in this incident!"
The maid frowned, lost in memories, and then shook her head: "Besides them, there are only the Madam, the Master, and the servants..."
Ni Yueshan asked in disbelief, "Think about it again? Even a single word of reply would count!"
Then he still shook his head.
Ni Yueshan was inevitably disappointed. How could he sprinkle things on the person without making any contact with him?
Ni Yueshan frowned and said nothing. Qingdie came back and reported to Ni Yueshan, "The Crown Princess is indeed as good as a god."
All the clothes were gone, all five of them were gone...
