Chapter 351 Revealing the Truth
After a careful examination, Bai Juanjuan said, "After a person dies, the blood stops flowing. Even if you forcibly remove something from her hand, there won't be such bruises. Therefore, someone must have removed her bracelet before she died."
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow; this was interesting.
If I'm not mistaken, the bracelet that was taken off was the one my senior brother gave to Yuan Yi.
That bracelet is called the Joyful Bracelet.
It's not particularly valuable.
My senior brother went to the temple to ask for it.
This bracelet was specially given to the patient.
It symbolizes peace, joy, and good health.
After leaving the house, the group of men in black fled towards Cangzhou.
Even then, he didn't forget to forcibly remove the bracelet from the hand of a dying person.
Qin Jinzhi narrowed her eyes. "Can you still determine whether she was poisoned before she died?"
Bai Juanjuan thought for a moment, "Was she cured of the poison before she died?"
Qin Jinzhi pointed to her eyes and said, "She said before she died that her eyes were poisoned and blinded, but Liu Yiyi said that her eyes were not really blinded, but that she took a drug that could temporarily achieve the effect of blindness."
Bai Juanjuan frowned and thought for a moment, "I'll send someone to invite Dean Liu right away. With her assistance, it should be possible."
Her main goal was to find out about the woman's life before she died.
Qin Jinzhi nodded, "As soon as possible."
"yes."
Qin Jinzhi left the morgue and looked at Yuecheng standing to one side.
How is your injury?
Yuecheng smiled and said, "I'm fine now."
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow. "You should stay home and recover from your injuries. You have important things to do after you've recovered."
Yuecheng looked at Qin Jinzhi and said, "I can do it now. This little injury is no problem for your senior brother."
Qin Jinzhi shook her head, "You can only do this once you've recovered from your injuries."
Yuecheng raised an eyebrow. "Okay."
The two left Chidori-no-Ki, and Tsukishiro returned to his residence.
Qin Jinzhi didn't use a car; instead, she leisurely arrived at a restaurant.
Before leaving the mansion today, Xue Huaiyi made a special trip to see her.
Ask her if you can treat her to a casual meal after her official duties are completed.
Instead of staying at the mansion, they gave her the address of a small restaurant.
Qin Jinzhi walked into the restaurant and sat down. The waiter came over immediately.
"Sorry, sir, our shop is closed for the day. Please come again tomorrow, and we will definitely serve you two side dishes."
Qin Jinzhi glanced at the group of people in the restaurant; they had a strong military presence.
Although he was dressed like an ordinary civilian, people who had served in the military for many years could still recognize him.
These must all be Xue Huaiyi's men.
Qin Jinzhi smiled and sat down at a dining table.
He removed the prince's badge and placed it on the table.
The waiter was taken aback when he saw the large Qin character on the waist tag, then quickly gave a wink to the person behind him.
The man immediately darted into the backyard.
Sweat began to bead on my forehead. What was this ancestor doing here?
At this moment, Xue Huaiyi came out from behind.
She was also wearing an apron around her waist.
"Why did you let the young master sit here? Didn't we tell you we had a distinguished guest today?"
The waiter's eyes widened. "You didn't say this VIP was so expensive!"
He quickly stepped forward, saying, "This humble servant greets the young master. Please come inside."
Xue Huaiyi stepped forward. "Young Master, please wait a moment. I have two more dishes to prepare, they'll be ready soon."
Qin Jinzhi smiled and looked at Xue Huaiyi, "Uncle Xue, this outfit suits you even better."
Xue Huaiyi laughed and said, "Young Master, you don't know this, but I started out as a cook in the army. Back then, everyone in the army praised my cooking!"
Qin Jinzhi nodded, "Then I really should try it."
The people in the restaurant who heard the conversation between the two were stunned.
They were surprised to find that they would one day see the young master.
Qin Jinzhi followed the people to the backyard.
She heard Xue Huaiyi specifically address her as "Young Master" in front of his people.
Everyone else bowed their heads respectfully as she walked by.
Is this the day they're going to reveal their secrets?
Qin Jinzhi sat in the courtyard.
A short while later, Xue Huaiyi came out of the kitchen carrying dishes.
Soon, the table was filled with dishes.
Xue Huaiyi wiped his hands with his apron. "This table contains all the dishes I can cook. Young Master, please have a taste."
Qin Jinzhi nodded, "Uncle Xue, please sit down as well."
Xue Huaiyi immediately said, "Thank you, young master."
Qin Jinzhi picked up her chopsticks and tasted each one. "Indeed, if I were in the army, I would definitely want to be in the same battalion as you."
Xue Huaiyi smiled and said, "I'm glad the young master likes it."
Qin Jinzhi looked at the dishes on the table and asked, "Which dish does my father like the most?"
Xue Huaiyi was taken aback, then pointed to a small green vegetable dish on the far side of the dining table.
Qin Jinzhi nodded, then asked, "Is there something you want to say today?"
Xue Huaiyi's face turned serious as he said, "We have a lead on Xue Niaoniao's matter."
Qin Jinzhi looked up at him, and Xue Huaiyi's expression was somewhat solemn.
"Xue Niaoniao is indeed my daughter, but my daughter is not this Xue Niaoniao."
Qin Jinzhi raised an eyebrow, "Xue Niaoniao has really been arrested?"
Xue Huaiyi nodded.
No wonder, no matter how they investigated, they couldn't find anything unusual.
All the information about Xue Niaoniao is true, except for this one person.
Qin Jinzhi put down her chopsticks. "The person behind this has come looking for you?"
Xue Huaiyi said, "One day, I brought that fake Xue Niaoniao to the restaurant. I guessed that someone was watching her. After she left, I ordered a plate of beef."
Cattle are essential for farming and should not be killed arbitrarily.
Eating beef indiscriminately is a serious crime.
Twenty strokes of the cane and one year of hard labor.
Xue Huaiyi was setting a trap, deliberately giving the enemy a handle to use against him.
“That same day, someone came to search my little restaurant.”
Qin Jinzhi asked, "Whose people are they?"
Xue Huaiyi looked at Qin Jinzhi, "Ministry of Justice, Vice Minister Wei."
Qin Jinzhi put down her chopsticks.
Xue Huaiyi continued, "That fake Xue Niaoniao thought that since my people followed her back to the Seventh Prince's residence, she would assume that the Seventh Prince was her master. I dealt with her for a few days and followed the clues about the Wei family. I discovered that the Wei family was actually connected to the Blissful Heaven that the young master had previously wiped out."
Qin Jinzhi suddenly remembered that when she went to Cangzhou, she met Wei Ziming, the military governor of Huainan.
The masked man fled back to Cangzhou after escaping from Yangzhou.
It seems that Cangzhou is the true base of this paradise.
Xue Huaiyi took a letter out of his pocket.
"This was found in the backyard of my restaurant a few days ago."
Qin Jinzhi opened the letter, which instructed Xue Huaiyi to go to Cangzhou to discuss Xue Niaoniao's matter in detail.
Xue Huaiyi was very cautious, and he received news as soon as he found the source.
Is this a preemptive strike, or is it all a ploy to lure Xue Huaiyi into investigating the Paradise of Bliss?
Qin Jinzhi placed the letter on the table and then picked up her chopsticks.
"So what does Uncle Xue mean by this?"
Xue Huaiyi stood up. “Young Master, this restaurant is my private liaison office. All the people in the restaurant are veterans I brought back from the battlefield. Please feel free to give me any instructions if you need anything. If anything happens to me, please take care of me.”
Qin Jinzhi tilted her head and looked at him, "Are you planning to go to Cangzhou alone?"
