Chapter 617: Tea Poison.

After writing down the names of the people Shao Yong said, it was already late, Hua Lang took Shao Yong and Jia Qingqing back to Shao Village, and then found a random place in Shao Village to sleep for the night.

After dawn, they immediately rushed to Shen Yuan and asked the officials to investigate whether what Shao Yong said was true.

It's just that when Hua Lang gave this order, he didn't see Shen Ling, and asked Ade if Shen Ling was still resting, and Ade said that he didn't know, and he hadn't seen it since he sent his wife back to the room last night.

Hua Lang estimated the hour, it was probably the hour now, and Shen Ling was definitely not a person who liked to sleep lazy, why didn't she come out?

Hua Lang felt that things were suspicious, so he took people to the north attic, up to the second floor, Hua Lang asked Ade to knock on Shen Ling's door, but knocked a few times, but there was no response inside, Hua Lang saw this, and said to Yin Wuyi: "Brother Yin, please kick the door open." ”

As soon as Hua Lang finished speaking, Yin Wuxian had already kicked up, and after the door was kicked open, everyone rushed in, and after they rushed in, they were speechless in surprise, because Shen Ling was lying on the bed at this time, and she was already dead.

The quilt was covered intact, but there were blood stains on Shen Ling's nose and mouth, and the blood stains had dried, Hua Lang lifted the quilt, and everyone turned around, because after Hua Lang lifted the quilt, they found that Shen Ling was only wearing a thin belly pocket, and at this time her snow-white skin was exposed, giving people an indescribable shock.

Everyone turned around to avoid suspicion, but Hanaro didn't react at all, he has always been very respectful of corpses, so he doesn't have any evil thoughts about corpses because they are not wearing clothes.

Hua Lang carefully examined Shen Ling's body and found that Shen Ling died of poisoning, but the onset of poison was not very fast, and once it happened, the poisoned person was afraid that he would die suddenly.

After the quilt was re-covered with Shen Ling, Hua Lang said to one of the officials: "Immediately rush to Duanzhou City, inform Lord Bao of the matter here, and let him bring someone here, I'm afraid this matter is complicated." ”

The official received the order and left Shen Yuan in a hurry.

The room full of people was puzzled by this, why did the murderer kill Shen Ling after killing Sun Jing?

After Hua Lang left Shen Ling's body, he carefully checked the door, the door was indeed locked from the inside, the door was kicked open by mistake just now, then this door must be no problem at all, and then, Hua Lang checked the house again, and found that the whole house only had a small ventilation window, and it was very high, not to mention that the murderer could not come in, even if he was afraid that it would not be easy to go to that place, after all, this was the second floor.

In this way, this Shen Ling died in the secret room.

And what made Hua Lang feel even more strange was that Shen Ling died in bed, and there was no mess on the bed, indicating that Shen Ling was suddenly poisoned and died in his sleep, just like Sun Jing.

Poisoning? When Hua Lang thought of being poisoned, he suddenly asked Ade: "What did Shen Ling eat tonight?" ”

Ade shook his head: "Because the case has not been solved, Mrs. went back to the room to rest without eating anything tonight, but ......" As soon as Ade said this, Hua Lang suddenly pushed him away, and then came to the table in Shen Ling's bedroom, there was a teapot and another teacup on the table, at this time there was still tea in the teapot, and there was a little left in the teacup, and the tea in the teacup was amber, which was very tempting, and when Ade saw that Hualang noticed the teacup, he hurriedly said: "Madam and the master have a habit of drinking soothing tea every night before going to sleep." ”

"Tranquil tea?" Hua Lang was a little confused, so he couldn't help but say these words.

At this time, Ade nodded again and again, and said: "That's right, a year ago, Mrs. suddenly got a problem with insomnia, often couldn't sleep at night, the lord saw that Mrs. was so uncomfortable, so he asked a friend to bring back this soothing tea from outside, and the master made a pot for Mrs. to drink every night, and over time, both of them developed the habit of drinking soothing tea." ”

After listening to Ade's words, Hua Lang hurriedly put the silver needle into the tea to test it, and when he took out the silver needle, he found that the silver needle had turned black, and everyone was shocked, and they all said that the tea was poisonous.

It is inevitable that the tea is poisonous, but how did the murderer poison the tea? The room is a secret room, and the murderer can't get in at all, could it be that on the way to make tea, Shen Ling has ever left the door? But that's not right, Ade said that Shen Ling hasn't appeared since he entered the bedroom upstairs.

Hua Lang pondered, and after a long time, suddenly asked, "Where are the tea leaves of those soothing teas?" ”

Ade thought for a moment, pointed to a cabinet in the bedroom and said, "It should be there, I remember it was there!" ”

Hua Lang opened the cabinet and found that there were more than a dozen square wooden boxes piled up together, the workmanship of these wooden boxes was very good, and the craftsmanship was also good, Hua Lang took the top box and opened it, which contained tea leaves, he smelled it, there was indeed a strong fragrance of tea, he poured the tea leaves in the box into the hot water cup, and then tested it with a silver needle, and found that the silver needle turned black.

It was only at this time that Hua Lang finally understood the whole story of Shen Ling's poisoning, not that someone ran into the house to poison Shen Ling's tea, but that the murderer poisoned the tea, so that as long as Shen Ling drank the poisoned box of tea, she would definitely die.

Hua Lang looked at Ade and asked, "Who can touch the tranquilizing tea in Shen Ling's room?" ”

Ade shook his head and said: "Madame's room is rarely entered by our subordinates, and even if we come in, we leave quickly, and we don't dare to touch anything, so I'm afraid that only the lord and the lady can touch the soothing tea." When Ade said this, he suddenly looked flustered and said, "Isn't it the old man's unjust soul back?" ”

Everyone was also surprised to hear Ade suddenly say such a thing, but Hua Lang didn't believe in this unjust soul, so he asked Shen Ling's maid to come and asked, "You have been following Shen Ling, do you know who has touched these teas?" ”

The maid glanced at the cabinet, and suddenly said with some surprise: "When Madame drank it the night before, there were twelve boxes, why is it now eleven boxes?" ”

As soon as the maid said this, Hua Lang and the others paid attention to the tea leaves in the cabinet again, those boxes were four boxes and one layer, so they were placed in three layers, and there were only two boxes left on the third floor, but Hua Lang had a box in his hand, that is, the poisonous box, if there was one less box of tea, then someone must have made trouble and took the box, and the box in Hua Lang's hand was poisoned.

But how can the murderer be sure that Shen Ling will take the box in Hualang's hand, although this box is outside, it can be seen at a glance, but the same is true for a box next to it, Shen Ling may also take that box to drink, right?

Hanalang felt the need to look at another box of tea.
