Chapter 012 Preliminary Investigation.

At this time, Li Yuanwai was still standing aside crying, he was expecting his wife to give birth to a son, but he didn't expect that he suddenly suffered such an accident.

Ye Xing had never seen this kind of scene, although he was also very sympathetic to Li Yuanwai, but he was not from this dynasty after all, so he didn't feel so sad, he observed the people around him, and found that except for Li Yuan, who was more sad, the other people all looked like they didn't care about themselves, and the other two ladies outside Li Yuan had a gloating expression.

Ye Xing was very strange, how could they say that they also worked together, but how could they see that their sister was dead, but they had such an expression? However, Ye Xing soon understood that if Li Yuanwai's second wife gave birth to a son to Li Yuanwai, then after a hundred years of Li Yuanwai, all the family property would be passed on to the second lady and her son, but the eldest lady and the third lady would not be able to share anything.

If this is the case, the eldest lady and the third lady naturally don't want the second lady to give birth to a son to Li Yuanwai, but Ye Xing still doesn't understand, even if they hate the second lady so much, there is no need to kill people!

Lei Batian had already begun to inspect the corpses at this time, Ye Xing rarely saw corpses, so Ye Xing was not interested in this matter, and he would feel disgusted when he saw corpses, it was already spring twilight, the weather was slowly getting hotter, and those corpses were more prone to decay.

Lei Batian carefully examined the body of the second lady of Li Yuanwai, and he found that the body of the second lady of Li Yuanwai did not have any external injuries, and judging by the degree of skin contraction of the second lady, she should have been dead for a while, but it would never exceed last night; The second lady did not die of external injuries, so Lei Batian found a silver needle and stabbed it at the neck of the second lady, and after the silver needle was pulled out, the silver needle had turned black.

This Ye Xing understands, he has studied chemistry, most of the ancient poisons are arsenic and other things, and arsenic and other poisons are not pure enough, so they are often accompanied by less sulfur and sulfide, sulfur is easy to react with silver to form silver sulfide, that is, that layer of black things.

After Ye Xing saw the silver needle turn black, he immediately understood that Li Yuanwai's second lady had been poisoned.

After Lei Batian got up, he covered the body of the second lady with a white cloth, and then said to Li Yuanwai: "I have found out the cause of the second lady's death, it was poisoning. ”

After listening to Lei Batian's words, Li Yuanwai asked very sadly: "I was poisoned, but how could she be poisoned, Lei Zhutou must help find the murderer, otherwise...... Otherwise, I really don't know what to do! ”

The more Li Yuanwai spoke, the more sad he became, and finally he cried again, completely losing the bearing that a man should have, but everyone present was full of sympathy for Li Yuanwai, because he was going to have a son, but now there is no more, this kind of great change is not something that anyone can bear if he says he can bear it.

Lei Batian comforted Li Yuanwai and said: "Don't worry, I will find out the murderer as soon as possible and avenge the second lady, but now I need to know some information, I don't know if Li Yuanwai can accept my questioning now." ”

Li Yuanwai wiped away his tears, and then nodded: "Although Lei Zhutou said hello, in order to be able to avenge my wife, I can do anything, she has my child in her belly!" Li Yuanwai wanted to cry again when he talked about the child, but he also seemed to feel that he should not be too childlike at this time, so in the end he endured it.

"Who found out that the second lady was killed?"

Li Yuanwai adjusted his mood for a moment, and then said, "It's the second lady's maid Yun'er." ”

Lei Zhutou nodded, and then asked who was Yun'er, Yun'er was already frightened, and was trembling in a corner at this time, she heard Lei Zhutou call her, so she hurriedly ran out, Yun'er was just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, although her body had almost developed, but she had not yet taken off that childishness.

Lei Batian looked at Yun'er and asked very softly, "You can tell me the details." ”

Yun'er nodded, and then began to say: "This morning, I went to call the second lady to get up and wash, but I knocked on the door a few times, the second lady did not open the door, I thought it was the second lady who was sleepy, so I stopped for a moment and knocked on the door again, but the second lady still did not react at all, I thought to myself that something must have happened, so I pushed the door open, and I found that the second lady was lying on the bed dead, and I was so frightened that I hurriedly shouted loudly. ”

"That's right, when I rushed with the housekeeper, Yun'er was already scared on the ground." Li Yuanwai hurriedly agreed.

Lei Batian nodded, and then continued to ask, "Then who was the last to see the second lady last night?" ”

Li Yuanwai glanced at his housekeeper, and then said: "I rested in the third lady's room last night, but before I went to the third lady's room, I went to the second lady's room, after all, she is pregnant, I always have to go to see from time to time to see what she needs, when I went to see the second lady, she was still fine, but when I left, she suddenly said that she was hungry and wanted to eat dessert, so I went out of the room to let the housekeeper do it, and then I went directly to the third lady's room." ”

"That means that the last person to see the second lady is the housekeeper."

After Lei Batian said this, the housekeeper Li Xian hurriedly knelt down and said loudly: "Wronged, I sent dessert to the second lady, but when I left, the second lady was still fine." ”

Ye Xing heard Li Xian say this, so he went to observe him, Ye Xing found that this housekeeper was still quite young, about thirty years old, with a white face and no beard, looking like a little white face, and Ye Xing hated this kind of person very much.

"It doesn't mean that the second lady was okay when you left, because the second lady died of poisoning, everyone knows that poison has a reaction process, maybe not long after you left, the poison attacked, and the second lady died!"

Ye Xing really couldn't look at the little white-faced Li Xian, so he couldn't help but say it.

Lei Batian didn't expect Ye Xing to say such a thing, and these words were exactly what Lei Batian thought in his heart, and being good when he left didn't mean anything.

Li Xian was obviously speechless by Ye Xing's words, but he still forcibly defended: "I really didn't poison, how could I poison the second lady, the second lady usually treats her little well, how can I take revenge!" ”
