Chapter 19 Nineteen, transparent Pisces
Back in the city, they had just entered the street where the Jiedu Mansion was located, and saw the Xichuan Army forming up, surrounded by Li Shubai and Fan Yingxi.
Huang Zixia and Zhou Ziqin quickly avoided the side of the road.
Li Shubai was talking to Fan Yingxi, he raised his eyes and saw her, but before he could react, he jumped out of the queue step by step, ran towards Fusha, hissed in a low voice, and rubbed Fusha's neck.
The distance between the two of them is also so close that they breathe and hear each other.
And he looked down at her with a smile, and when their bodies barely brushed past each other, he asked her softly, "Did you gain something today?"
Huang Zixia looked up at him, nodded, and said, "There are still one or two details, and when we figure it out, we can finish it."
Wang Yun in the team behind him couldn't hear what they were saying, so he just turned his face away and looked at the flags fluttering in the wind.
And Zhou Ziqin, who was reining in his horse, almost dropped his jaw when he heard Huang Zixia's words, and quickly grabbed the rein that brushed the sand, pulled her over to face him, and yelled out of control: "What, what, what? ? There are only one or two details left in this case? What's going on? How did it end? You should give me an explanation!"
He roared so intently that Huang Zixia's face was sprayed with saliva.She had no choice but to raise her palm to cover her face, and said, "No, I said that everything is ready, and I only owe Dongfeng. The last one or two decisive things have to fall on Zhou Shaobutou, you are our key The mainstay of time."
Zhou Ziqin was immediately overjoyed, and slapped his chest loudly: "Come on! As the head arrester in Chengdu, no matter what I need to do, I am obliged to do it!"
"Okay then, let's go to the ambassador's mansion and take a look at the scene of the crime. I'm going to find the murder weapon."
Zhou Ziqin widened his eyes and asked, "Chonggu, are you still determined? The scene was almost a foot shorter by us, and those dozens of people couldn't find it every day. Are you sure you've passed this time?" can you find it?"
Huang Zixia didn't speak, just pulled the reins of the horse, saluted Fan Yingxi and others from a distance, and then went straight to the envoy's mansion, just asked Zhou Ziqin casually: "You don't believe it?"
"Believe! In the world, Huang Zixia is the first I believe in, and Chonggu is the second!" He cheerfully swung his whip and urged Xiaoxia to follow her.
Li Shubai turned his head to look at Fan Yingxi who had followed him, and said: "General Fan, I want to go to the envoy's residence, the general can go back first."
"Yes, send off the prince!" Fan Yingxi hurriedly led a group of people behind him to salute.
"On the training ground today, I met the Jiedu envoys of various towns, and the personnel of each team of the Xichuan Army——I also picked a few people to come to my side." On the way to the envoy's mansion, Li Shubai said to Huang Zixia. Huang Zixia nodded, and looked at Zhang Xingying again. Zhang Xingying's face was slightly terrified, and he was in a state of anxiety when he heard Li Shubai say: "Xingying will always stay by my side. Now that Jing Yu is no longer here, and Jingxiang, Jing Rong, etc. have not followed, I don't even people are gone." Seeing Zhang Xingying heaved a sigh of relief, Huang Zixia quickly followed Li Shubai. She was silent, just followed quietly.It's just that for some reason, there is an unusual bitterness in my heart, and I always feel that there is an uncontrollable sadness.
As Zhou Ziqin said, the scene of Qi Teng's death had indeed been shortened by almost an inch. On the wharf platform paved with large bluestones, all the grass has been trampled bare, all the flowers and trees have been tossed until their leaves are gone, the water in the pool has been drained, the mud has been washed clean, and the paint on the pillars of the water pavilion has been shattered. was scraped off... No murder weapon, there really wasn't one. The two policemen who were ordered to stay here to search were miserable, like a defeated rooster, dejected.Even when they came to see King Kui, they were still frustrated: "My lord, please forgive me for your incompetence... I have almost turned this side over in the past few days, but I still can't find it." "That's right, let alone a one-inch wide murder weapon, even a poisonous needle, if you search like this, you should be able to find it!" Li Shubai saw that they were looking for the murder weapon under the poisonous sun, all of them were covered with oil and sweat, and their backs were wet. It is also hard work. The king is just here today to walk around, if there is anything, you can discuss it with Zhou Butou and Yang Gonggong." The two agreed, and walked to Zhou Ziqin's side listlessly. Zhou Ziqin saw Azhuo, the shortest and youngest, by his side with his head drooping, so he raised his hand and rubbed his head, then turned to look at Huang Zixia: "Chonggu, can we really find it? Hurry up, look at these two, they are so anxious that their hair is about to fall out!" Huang Zixia waved to him, motioning for him to follow the bushes to the water's edge, then turned to look at the water pavilion, and asked, "Where was your sister's green yarn cabinet at that time?" Zhou Ziqin compared the drawing, pointed to a place close to the bushes, and said, "It's right here." "Yeah." Huang Zixia walked around the place, then stared at the ground, carefully inspecting it. Zhou Ziqin followed her, seeing her stepping forward step by step on the bluestone, he couldn't help but bewildered, and asked: "Chonggu, did you find anything?" "I found...two flies." Huang Zixia pointed to the ground and said. Zhou Ziqin followed her fingers and saw that there were indeed two flies, leaning together, resting on the soil crack between the two bluestones, rubbing their front feet. He was puzzled and asked, "What happened to the fly?" Li Shubai, who was standing not far from the two of them, heard him ask, and said, "As the saying goes, flies don't lay eggs that are seamless, what do you think?" Zhou Ziqin was even more confused, opened his mouth and blinked, and after a long time, turned his head to look at Huang Zixia. And Huang Zixia straightened up, breathed a sigh of relief under the sunlight, looked at his long shadow that was being dragged, and said, "Okay, Fu Xinruan's case is over." "..." Zhou Ziqin felt that he was simply the most pitiful person in the world.Every time he ran behind Huang Zixia, the body was examined together, and the evidence was looked at together. Why was he always the last to know when the final result came out? A kind of sadness suddenly appeared in his heart, he turned to Li Shubai and asked: "Is the prince also aware of it?" Li Shubai said casually: "It is generally known, but there are still some things that are not yet clear, which need to be revealed by Chonggu." Zhou Ziqin squatted on the ground, looked at the flies, then at them, and then roared out in grief and anger: "You are clearly bullying me! Exclude me alone forever, and I will not hang out with you in the future!" Huang Zixia hurriedly comforted him: "No! No, the key clue is still in your hands, and you still need to step in to solve everything!" Zhou Ziqin looked up at the sky, with an unfathomable expression: "You want me, the number one under heaven, to make a move? Do you think anyone can invite me out of the mountain at any time? Unless..." Huang Zixia hurriedly approached him: "Young Master Zhou, please arrest and give instructions!" "Unless, you stand here right now and explain everything to me!" Zhou Ziqin pouted and began to play a rogue. Huang Zixia could only laugh and said: "Hey, well, then I will remind you to stop arresting the head. The key to this case lies in the word 'timing'." "opportunity?" "Yes, when Gongsun Yuan was dancing that dance, among all the people present, who could take the time, seize the opportunity, go around and kill someone?" Zhou Ziqin suddenly fell into deep thought: "This...all the people on the court at that time seemed to have no free time..." "Think about it carefully? Their confessions, the situation at that time. In fact, there is a person who can go around the green gauze cabinet and kill people in full view - when others have no way, that person can create a way Come." Zhou Ziqin held his head in his hands and began to think hard: "Who would be able to kill in full view? At that time, everyone's confession seemed to be fine. Who would have the time to kill..." Seeing him squatting there racking his brains, Li Shubai seldom condescended to intercede for Zhou Ziqin, saying: "Chonggu, don't make things difficult for Ziqin, Ziqin may not be particularly good at this aspect. But I know there is something In other words, Ziqin is absolutely unparalleled in the world, unmatched." "That's my test!" Zhou Ziqin pointed his thumb to the tip of his nose, boasting without humility. Huang Zixia also nodded in agreement, held the old man in his arms, and when he saw that he was happy, he pointed to his arms and said, "There is another key to this case, I think it is probably related to the bracelet in your arms." Zhou Ziqin was startled, and quickly reached into his arms and took out the bracelet and gave it to her. "In addition to the timing of the crime, another important key to this case is the source of the poison—" Huang Zixia took the bracelet, his face became serious, and said slowly, "And this key poison, two When the poisonous poison kills people, there is this bracelet, I don't know if it is a coincidence." Huang Zixia said, silently staring at the bracelet in her hand.How many times have she touched the smooth curves of the little fish holding each other's tails with her fingertips, the ups and downs of each curve are as familiar as her own palm prints, as if as long as she touch Those lines, they can grow on her palm lines, in fate. She picked up the bracelet and looked at it against the sun, the hollowed-out jade was shining and soft under the sunlight at this time.On the heads of the two small fishes, a line of characters is engraved respectively. Yu Xuan's handwriting.The words he personally engraved made her eyes widen suddenly. There was a cold and sharp light that split into her mind instantly, making her think of a terrible possibility in an instant. The sun slanted to the west, with a little blood.On the bracelet, the needlepoint-sized, sesame-seed-sized, and rice-grain-sized hollows, tiny blood-red sunlight penetrated little by little, reflected on her face in a trance, and pierced deeply into her eyes. The color of this jade is thin and transparent, so the deep and shallow shadows also appear illusory, as if there is nothing. Huang Zixia only felt a buzzing in her head, and the world in front of her was transformed into multiple shadows, separating and reuniting turbulently in front of her, faintly fluctuating. The sharp things pierced into her chest one by one, making her gasp in pain.And the only thing she could do was squeeze the bracelet hard and forcefully move it away from her eyes. Zhou Ziqin looked at her in surprise, and opened his mouth wide to ask her something, but Huang Zixia couldn't hear anything.A large expanse of blood-red color surged in front of her eyes. This was the color of the sunset when she met Yu Xuan for the first time. Like the sunset at this time, the world was dyed blood-red, and the whole world seemed to be left with only shades of red. Instead of reality, there are only vague outlines, twisting and undulating in front of her eyes. Grief and depression, bitterness and forbearance, these things that had been pressing on her heart for half a year, seemed like the dam of the Yellow River suddenly collapsed, and the unstoppable sorrow quickly engulfed her whole body, making her hands and body uncontrollable. trembling. I see. The death of her parents and family, the turning point of her life, she disregarded her reputation, status, and everything she had done, so she was easily obliterated like this. She grabbed Zhou Ziqin's hand, panting heavily, tried her best to push the bracelet into his hand but couldn't say a word. Looking at her bruised face and trembling body, Zhou Ziqin couldn't help asking: "Chonggu, you... are you okay?" Before she finished speaking, Li Shubai, who had been standing behind her all the time, opened his arms to protect Huang Zixia, who was trembling and almost collapsed.He let her lean safely in his arms so that she would not fall to the ground. Her hands were vacantly waving in the air, like a frightened crow that could not return home at dusk, as if she wanted to grab something.Li Shubai's hand protecting her shoulders went down her arm, and tightly held her hand, interlocking her fingers. The heat from his body passed through the thin coat and coat on her body at this time, and imprinted on her skin, finally something clear appeared in her chaotic mind. It was he who hugged her and called her softly in her ear: "Don't be afraid...you have experienced all the most terrifying things in the world, what else is there to be afraid of?" His voice was so thick and gentle, although her ears were full of roaring, only the sound of blood boiling, but his voice lingered in her ears, making her grab the rope thrown from the bank like a drowning person, and hold on tightly. Hold on, even if the brain has emptied everything and turned into a blank, I still know that I am saved and will not let go. Knowing that he was behind her, knowing that he would protect her well, she let all her strength drain away, and at this moment, she didn't think about anything anymore, she just leaned on him silently.Because she knew that the person behind her could give her all the strength and help to prop up her collapsed sky. She leaned against Li Shubai and let him help her to walk to the waterside pavilion and sit down. Zhou Ziqin was at a loss and didn't understand why she was acting like this all of a sudden. Seeing her pale face, he couldn't help but stammered and asked, "That... is that bracelet important?" Huang Zixia nodded, held her head in her hands, and said nothing. Li Shubai said to him: "I think Chonggu probably suspects that someone has poisoned the bracelet." Zhou Ziqin remembered what Huang Zixia had mentioned to him, so he hurriedly said: "Oh, this matter, Chonggu mentioned it to me. But we tried it on Fugui before, and it doesn't seem to be poisonous. Moreover, this bracelet was in Fu Xin Ruan should have been around for a long time, if there is poison on it, why did she die of poison just a few days ago?" Huang Zixia raised her hand, grabbed his sleeve, and squeezed out a dry and hoarse voice from her throat: "Give it to me." Zhou Ziqin nodded quickly, handed the bracelet in his hand to her, looked at Huang Zixia in surprise, at a loss. Huang Zixia took the jade bracelet with trembling hands, and stroked the two small fish with their tails in their mouths, swimming closely together, her hands trembling slightly. After a long time, she silently picked up the jade bracelet, picked it up with her nails, and put it on her left wrist.The bright and transparent jade bracelet is erratic when the sunlight shines on it.Those two lively little fish seemed to come alive, shaking slightly on her wrist. Zhou Ziqin looked at her wrists as bright as frost and snow, surrounded by that brilliant brilliance, especially smooth and clean.He didn't know why he was a little nervous, and he said dully: "Chong Gu, didn't you say that this bracelet might be poisonous?" Huang Zixia lowered her head and turned the bracelet with her right hand, her chest rose and fell slightly, but she didn't say anything. But Li Shubai stood up and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, no matter what kind of poison it is, it's impossible to seep through her unbroken skin, right?" Zhou Ziqin nodded, but he always felt that something was wrong. Huang Zixia and Li Shubai didn't say anything, they walked outside one after the other.Zhou Ziqin was stunned for a moment, and quickly chased after him, where are you going? Li Shubai turned his head and signaled him: "You go to the flower hall first and wait for us." Zhou Ziqin agreed, and asked cautiously: "Do you want to find a doctor and come over to show Chonggu?" Li Shubai shook his head and said, "Go and inspect this bracelet first. I will deal with Chonggu."
The kitchen of the Shijun Mansion is on the southwest side of the mansion, close to the Yamen, and not too far from the dining hall of the Shijun Mansion at that time. Li Shubai and Huang Zixia arrived in the kitchen, lunch was over and dinner was still early, inside a few maids and helpers were peeling water chestnut lotus pods one by one, talking and chatting at the same time. Seeing them approaching the door, Aunt Lu who was in charge quickly stood up and asked, "Do you two want some snacks?" Seeing that Huang Zixia didn't speak, Li Shubai asked, "Is there any mutton soup?" Mrs. Lu hurriedly said: "There is no yam's hoof soup, but there is still lotus seed soup today." "Then have a bowl of lotus seed soup." He said, turning his head to look at Huang Zixia. Huang Zixia walked in, picked out the same big bowl as before, washed it with her own hands, and put it on the stove. Although she came from a family background, since she was twelve years old, she often wore men's clothing and went out with her father to investigate cases, and more often mixed with a group of government officials and police officers. The lotus seed soup was served, and when she was about to stretch out her hands to serve it, she thought about it again, rolled up her narrow sleeves as before, and then went to serve it. The sea bowl is celadon from Yue Kiln, which won the emerald color of Qianfeng.Because the bowl was too big, there were two ears on both sides. She held it in both hands and walked forward slowly.Then he left the kitchen with the bowl in his hand and headed towards the hall. This is an extremely familiar road. After leaving the kitchen door, cross the loquat tree in front of the courtyard, pass through the cracked wooden door, and see the very smooth blue brick floor in front of you, and a long corridor all the way. She walked down the corridor, as she did then. At the beginning, because she was depressed, she held such a big bowl of soup along the way and stubbornly walked forward.The maid Mi Wu followed behind her, and said to her, "I'll do it, Miss, you are too tired!" But she ignored Mi Wu and just walked forward with her head buried.Her bent arms were tired, so she held the bowl ear, her hands hanging down.The Pisces bracelet slowly slipped off from the wrist, and it was lightly tapped on the porcelain bowl with a "ding" sound, like crushed ice hitting jade. The sound of "ding" also resounded today, on her wrist and on the sea bowl, it was exactly the same, the past came back again. Holding the bowl along the way, she kept silent, bowed her head and walked towards the hall step by step. Li Shubai followed behind her, and walked with her to the hall - the place where her family ate happily together. The lotus seed soup just scooped up in the porcelain bowl is steaming up with steam.Moisture condensed on her drooping eyelashes, moistening her eyes. She thought of the early summer when she was fourteen years old, the dragonflies flew low, and the stalks were born.The blood-colored sunset enveloped the whole world, and she saw his eyes, which were gentle and clear, not like looking at a little girl, but like looking at a person she was going to spend her whole life with. There were tears in his eyes when he picked up the orphans whose parents had lost their lives and sent them to the nursery in person.He said, Ah Xia, perhaps in this world, I am the only one who understands this feeling best.She saw the thin water in his eyes, the kind of sadness and worry, she didn't understand until the moment her relatives passed away. They were sitting with their backs to each other half a foot apart under the porch of the pear tree in early autumn.He turned the pages of the book, and she peeled the lotus seeds one by one.Occasionally, there was a particularly sweet lotus pod, she peeled one and handed it to him, and he ate it without making a sound.She was so angry that she took off a scallop and slammed it on his head.The soft fruit flew out, while he stroked his head and looked at her with a dazed and innocent expression. On the night he moved out, there was a snowstorm in the early hours of the morning.She got up early the next day to look for him, but when she opened the door, she found him standing by the doorstep, the eaves couldn't cover the flying snowflakes, her whole body was stiff, and snow was falling all over her head.The snow on his shoulders had melted, and then turned into ice again, freezing on his shoulders.And his expression was already numb, he just looked at her, but couldn't speak.She hurriedly pulled him into the door and brushed off the snow from his body before he stared at her and said in a very low, almost indistinct voice, I can't help it, I don't know that I left you... ...what to do. what to do!what to do?what to do…… Huang Zixia's body began to tremble slightly. She finally walked the last part of the way, walked into the hall, and put the porcelain bowl in her hand on the table. Zhou Ziqin was already waiting for her there, impatient to talk to her, but seeing Li Shubai walking in behind her, and her expression was so frozen and heavy, so he stood by the table for a while, and didn't step forward to disturb her. she. Li Shubai, who was helping her with the dishes behind him, placed the washed small bowls on the table one by one. Huang Zixia silently took a deep breath, then tightened her rolled up sleeves, and began to serve soup. She held the small bowl in her left hand, hanging above the steaming sea bowl, and scooped up the soup with a wooden spoon in her right hand. After filling the bowl, she put the wooden spoon back into the big bowl below, and put the bowl back with both hands. Pick up another bowl of soup... Her face was pale, and although she could barely control herself, she couldn't restrain her trembling figure.Li Shubai looked at her face and saw that her expression was ashen, and her eyes were full of great grief.But even so, she still stubbornly walked towards the result she feared most, step by step, extremely sad, desperate, and determined. Li Shubai raised his hand to gently press her shoulder, her trembling body felt his palm pressing on her shoulder, a kind of power flowed faintly through the joint between his palm and her shoulder, from his hand, from Her shoulders penetrated, and there was a kind of great courage that suppressed her frail and thin body. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Her breathing became quickened by his words.The heavy burden that weighed her down like death, the terrible consequences she dared not face, the murderer who was destined to tear her heart apart, all became irrelevant in an instant. The important thing is to truly restore all the steps and details of the case, to strip away all the sins and not allow any cover-up, and to present all the truth extraction and refinement in front of everyone. Regardless of the truth, she now has the most solid barrier behind her, and he will give her the greatest strength, which no one can take away. She looked up at Li Shubai, nodded slowly to him, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, I'll take care of it." Li Shubai stared at her deeply, seeing the determination in her eyes, he let go of her shoulders with confidence. Her mind was clear and clear, and her trembling wrist became stable.She filled five bowls of fragrant lotus seed soup, placed them on the table one by one, and then placed them one by one in the position where the relatives were sitting. Then, as if she was exhausted, she slowly sat down at the table, stared at the five bowls of lotus seed soup for a long time, and said, "Ziqin, help me test these five bowls of lotus seed soup." "Test what?" Zhou Ziqin was a little confused. "Poison... Poison poison." Huang Zixia said slowly but clearly. Zhou Ziqin was shocked, and shouted: "How could it be poisonous? You brought it from the kitchen, was escorted by King Kui, and put it on the table yourself! Besides... where did you get the poison?" poison?" "Test." Huang Zixia gritted her teeth and said nothing. Zhou Ziqin opened his mouth, but in the end he put the small bowls on the tray and carried them back to his place of residence. Li Shubai and Huang Zixia followed him to the courtyard and waited by the door. Neither of them spoke.The weather is hazy and gloomy, shrouded in the low-slung verandah of the succulent lily, and the last few lotus flowers stand alone on the pavilion and green cover in the late summer, an unusually bright and eye-catching bright red. The long wind rolled over the lotus pond with the last heat of summer, and rushed towards Huang Zixia, covering her body. There was a thin layer of sweat on her body, piercing her skin like needle points.It was quickly evaporated by the hot wind, leaving only a trace of undetectable pain. Only the wind on the surface of the water is left, and the slanting glow is pulsed. Huang Zixia leaned against the railing, took a long time to recover, and stared blankly at Li Shubai in front of him. Li Shubai also looked at her without saying anything. Dusk fell over them, and the whole palace was dead silent. The setting sun sprinkled on the surface of the water far and near like pieces of gold, and the waves jumped, sparkling and dazzling. four years. Here, she transformed from a little girl who didn't understand the world into a desperate young girl; it was also here that she transformed from a talented woman envied by everyone to a murderous suspect despised by everyone. She once thought that she had experienced the most painful encounter in the world, tasted the most heart-piercing and heart-piercing feeling, and she also thought that there should be nothing more terrifying waiting for her in this world —— However, she never expected that when the truth came, it was even more terrifying than what she had imagined. Her body was trembling violently, but in this late summer and early autumn sunset, her whole body was chilled to the bone, and the cold sweat oozed out from her forehead and body, as thin as a pinprick. She grasped Li Shubai's hand tightly, and asked him in a hoarse and dry voice: "Could it be that I... sent that bowl of poisonous soup with my own hands, and put all my relatives to death?" Li Shubai looked at her silently, and saw that her eyes were so wide open, but those eyes were the same color as dead gray, without any light shining. That girl who traveled thousands of miles and was pushed down in the carriage by him in embarrassment, but still stubbornly said that she wanted to clear up the grievances of her relatives, the flame that had been beating in her eyes was extinguished. The belief that has been supporting her to walk down has disappeared. Li Shubai held her hand, feeling the bone-chilling coldness.Because of the chill on her body, a tingling coolness welled up in his heart.He slowly raised his arms, hugged her in his arms, suppressed his trembling voice, and said in a low voice: "No, it's not you." "It's me! I brought the bowl of soup with my own hands, and I filled them up one by one with my own hands, and asked them to drink one by one. Everything...is me!" She cried out uncontrollably, her body was tightly hugged by Li Shubai, and she couldn't struggle, but the muscles on her face were twitching slightly, which was very terrifying. Li Shubai was startled for a while, he pushed her crazy-looking against the railing, looked directly at her and shouted: "Huang Zixia, calm down!" She grabbed his arm hard, trying to shake him off her body.But how could she be his opponent, she was easily suppressed by him, her random struggles only brought her messy breathing. She heard him whispering in her ear: "It's not your fault, it's not. You are just a part of this murder with a borrowed knife. You are being used without knowing it. And what you should hate the most is not yourself, It's the man behind." She slowed down and stared blankly at him. He stared at her, and said word by word: "You have gone through twists and turns, and finally came here step by step. Instead of regretting and blaming yourself here, it is better to take a blow, expose the other party's conspiracy, reverse the case for yourself, and for your parents." , brother, grandmother and uncle to capture the real culprit, this is the business!" Huang Zixia stared at him for a long time before finally opening his mouth, and squeezed out a few broken words in his hoarse throat: "The reason... I need to know his reason..." "Yes, this is the next important thing, instead of blaming yourself!" She gradually calmed down amidst his words, and after a long time, mist rose in those dead gray eyes, and large and large teardrops slid down and fell on his hands, causing slight pain. He looked down, and it turned out that she had scratched several small wounds on his hand just now, and the dripping tears seeped into the wounds, which made him feel a little pain. He silently raised his hand, gently wiped away her tears, and then brushed her messy hair behind her ears.His usual cold eyes now look extraordinarily gentle and transparent. Inside there is a lake that no one knows about. When he presents it to her, he can embrace her completely. The wind and rain in the world will never be able to... invasion. He stared at her and said slowly: "If you are tired, take a rest. I have everything." She burst into tears and cried uncontrollably in his arms for a long time. But in the end, he finally heard her choked up voice, which was low and hoarse, but finally squeezed out word by word, extremely difficult: "No, I'm right... I finally came here after all the twists and turns, this last moment, I will work hard to do well, and I will... finish everything with my own hands!"
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Ziqin's closed door suddenly opened, his face was blue and his eyes were round, he ran out and stood in front of them, his mouth was open and he was panting violently, but he couldn't utter a word. Li Shubai had already let go of Huang Zixia, and the two of them were sitting on the railing of the corridor, separated by half a foot, neither far nor close. Huang Zixia straightened her waist, freed her back from the pillar, and stood straight in front of Zhou Ziqin. Li Shubai asked, "How was the result?" Zhou Ziqin was short of breath, and after barely suppressing the violent ups and downs of his chest, he finally choked out four words: "Poison poison! Five bowls!" Huang Zixia's stiff body softened as if out of strength.Li Shubai supported her, made her sit on the veranda by the water, and patted her on the back. And she finally breathed a sigh of relief, the darkness in front of her eyes and the roar in her ears gradually faded away. She leaned her head against the pillar, closed her eyes and said softly, "The case is closed." Zhou Ziqin opened his mouth wide and looked at her blankly: "Case closed? Which case? Is it Fu Xinruan's case? Or Qi Teng's case?" "All, and the case of the former governor of Chengdu Huang's family," she said with the last strength in her chest, "these three cases are connected by an invisible thread. Now this We have already grasped the end of the thread, and now we only need to pull it hard, and the curtain that covers everything will fall, and the case will be over." "It's over...?" Zhou Ziqin chewed on her words, feeling extremely sad in his heart - I have no clue at all, how come you already understand everything? "Yes, this case, no, it should be said, these three cases are all over."
"On the training ground today, I met the Jiedu envoys of various towns, and the personnel of each team of the Xichuan Army——I also picked a few people to come to my side." On the way to the envoy's mansion, Li Shubai said to Huang Zixia. Huang Zixia nodded, and looked at Zhang Xingying again. Zhang Xingying's face was slightly terrified, and he was in a state of anxiety when he heard Li Shubai say: "Xingying will always stay by my side. Now that Jing Yu is no longer here, and Jingxiang, Jing Rong, etc. have not followed, I don't even people are gone." Seeing Zhang Xingying heaved a sigh of relief, Huang Zixia quickly followed Li Shubai. She was silent, just followed quietly.It's just that for some reason, there is an unusual bitterness in my heart, and I always feel that there is an uncontrollable sadness.
As Zhou Ziqin said, the scene of Qi Teng's death had indeed been shortened by almost an inch. On the wharf platform paved with large bluestones, all the grass has been trampled bare, all the flowers and trees have been tossed until their leaves are gone, the water in the pool has been drained, the mud has been washed clean, and the paint on the pillars of the water pavilion has been shattered. was scraped off... No murder weapon, there really wasn't one. The two policemen who were ordered to stay here to search were miserable, like a defeated rooster, dejected.Even when they came to see King Kui, they were still frustrated: "My lord, please forgive me for your incompetence... I have almost turned this side over in the past few days, but I still can't find it." "That's right, let alone a one-inch wide murder weapon, even a poisonous needle, if you search like this, you should be able to find it!" Li Shubai saw that they were looking for the murder weapon under the poisonous sun, all of them were covered with oil and sweat, and their backs were wet. It is also hard work. The king is just here today to walk around, if there is anything, you can discuss it with Zhou Butou and Yang Gonggong." The two agreed, and walked to Zhou Ziqin's side listlessly. Zhou Ziqin saw Azhuo, the shortest and youngest, by his side with his head drooping, so he raised his hand and rubbed his head, then turned to look at Huang Zixia: "Chonggu, can we really find it? Hurry up, look at these two, they are so anxious that their hair is about to fall out!" Huang Zixia waved to him, motioning for him to follow the bushes to the water's edge, then turned to look at the water pavilion, and asked, "Where was your sister's green yarn cabinet at that time?" Zhou Ziqin compared the drawing, pointed to a place close to the bushes, and said, "It's right here." "Yeah." Huang Zixia walked around the place, then stared at the ground, carefully inspecting it. Zhou Ziqin followed her, seeing her stepping forward step by step on the bluestone, he couldn't help but bewildered, and asked: "Chonggu, did you find anything?" "I found...two flies." Huang Zixia pointed to the ground and said. Zhou Ziqin followed her fingers and saw that there were indeed two flies, leaning together, resting on the soil crack between the two bluestones, rubbing their front feet. He was puzzled and asked, "What happened to the fly?" Li Shubai, who was standing not far from the two of them, heard him ask, and said, "As the saying goes, flies don't lay eggs that are seamless, what do you think?" Zhou Ziqin was even more confused, opened his mouth and blinked, and after a long time, turned his head to look at Huang Zixia. And Huang Zixia straightened up, breathed a sigh of relief under the sunlight, looked at his long shadow that was being dragged, and said, "Okay, Fu Xinruan's case is over." "..." Zhou Ziqin felt that he was simply the most pitiful person in the world.Every time he ran behind Huang Zixia, the body was examined together, and the evidence was looked at together. Why was he always the last to know when the final result came out? A kind of sadness suddenly appeared in his heart, he turned to Li Shubai and asked: "Is the prince also aware of it?" Li Shubai said casually: "It is generally known, but there are still some things that are not yet clear, which need to be revealed by Chonggu." Zhou Ziqin squatted on the ground, looked at the flies, then at them, and then roared out in grief and anger: "You are clearly bullying me! Exclude me alone forever, and I will not hang out with you in the future!" Huang Zixia hurriedly comforted him: "No! No, the key clue is still in your hands, and you still need to step in to solve everything!" Zhou Ziqin looked up at the sky, with an unfathomable expression: "You want me, the number one under heaven, to make a move? Do you think anyone can invite me out of the mountain at any time? Unless..." Huang Zixia hurriedly approached him: "Young Master Zhou, please arrest and give instructions!" "Unless, you stand here right now and explain everything to me!" Zhou Ziqin pouted and began to play a rogue. Huang Zixia could only laugh and said: "Hey, well, then I will remind you to stop arresting the head. The key to this case lies in the word 'timing'." "opportunity?" "Yes, when Gongsun Yuan was dancing that dance, among all the people present, who could take the time, seize the opportunity, go around and kill someone?" Zhou Ziqin suddenly fell into deep thought: "This...all the people on the court at that time seemed to have no free time..." "Think about it carefully? Their confessions, the situation at that time. In fact, there is a person who can go around the green gauze cabinet and kill people in full view - when others have no way, that person can create a way Come." Zhou Ziqin held his head in his hands and began to think hard: "Who would be able to kill in full view? At that time, everyone's confession seemed to be fine. Who would have the time to kill..." Seeing him squatting there racking his brains, Li Shubai seldom condescended to intercede for Zhou Ziqin, saying: "Chonggu, don't make things difficult for Ziqin, Ziqin may not be particularly good at this aspect. But I know there is something In other words, Ziqin is absolutely unparalleled in the world, unmatched." "That's my test!" Zhou Ziqin pointed his thumb to the tip of his nose, boasting without humility. Huang Zixia also nodded in agreement, held the old man in his arms, and when he saw that he was happy, he pointed to his arms and said, "There is another key to this case, I think it is probably related to the bracelet in your arms." Zhou Ziqin was startled, and quickly reached into his arms and took out the bracelet and gave it to her. "In addition to the timing of the crime, another important key to this case is the source of the poison—" Huang Zixia took the bracelet, his face became serious, and said slowly, "And this key poison, two When the poisonous poison kills people, there is this bracelet, I don't know if it is a coincidence." Huang Zixia said, silently staring at the bracelet in her hand.How many times have she touched the smooth curves of the little fish holding each other's tails with her fingertips, the ups and downs of each curve are as familiar as her own palm prints, as if as long as she touch Those lines, they can grow on her palm lines, in fate. She picked up the bracelet and looked at it against the sun, the hollowed-out jade was shining and soft under the sunlight at this time.On the heads of the two small fishes, a line of characters is engraved respectively. Yu Xuan's handwriting.The words he personally engraved made her eyes widen suddenly. There was a cold and sharp light that split into her mind instantly, making her think of a terrible possibility in an instant. The sun slanted to the west, with a little blood.On the bracelet, the needlepoint-sized, sesame-seed-sized, and rice-grain-sized hollows, tiny blood-red sunlight penetrated little by little, reflected on her face in a trance, and pierced deeply into her eyes. The color of this jade is thin and transparent, so the deep and shallow shadows also appear illusory, as if there is nothing. Huang Zixia only felt a buzzing in her head, and the world in front of her was transformed into multiple shadows, separating and reuniting turbulently in front of her, faintly fluctuating. The sharp things pierced into her chest one by one, making her gasp in pain.And the only thing she could do was squeeze the bracelet hard and forcefully move it away from her eyes. Zhou Ziqin looked at her in surprise, and opened his mouth wide to ask her something, but Huang Zixia couldn't hear anything.A large expanse of blood-red color surged in front of her eyes. This was the color of the sunset when she met Yu Xuan for the first time. Like the sunset at this time, the world was dyed blood-red, and the whole world seemed to be left with only shades of red. Instead of reality, there are only vague outlines, twisting and undulating in front of her eyes. Grief and depression, bitterness and forbearance, these things that had been pressing on her heart for half a year, seemed like the dam of the Yellow River suddenly collapsed, and the unstoppable sorrow quickly engulfed her whole body, making her hands and body uncontrollable. trembling. I see. The death of her parents and family, the turning point of her life, she disregarded her reputation, status, and everything she had done, so she was easily obliterated like this. She grabbed Zhou Ziqin's hand, panting heavily, tried her best to push the bracelet into his hand but couldn't say a word. Looking at her bruised face and trembling body, Zhou Ziqin couldn't help asking: "Chonggu, you... are you okay?" Before she finished speaking, Li Shubai, who had been standing behind her all the time, opened his arms to protect Huang Zixia, who was trembling and almost collapsed.He let her lean safely in his arms so that she would not fall to the ground. Her hands were vacantly waving in the air, like a frightened crow that could not return home at dusk, as if she wanted to grab something.Li Shubai's hand protecting her shoulders went down her arm, and tightly held her hand, interlocking her fingers. The heat from his body passed through the thin coat and coat on her body at this time, and imprinted on her skin, finally something clear appeared in her chaotic mind. It was he who hugged her and called her softly in her ear: "Don't be afraid...you have experienced all the most terrifying things in the world, what else is there to be afraid of?" His voice was so thick and gentle, although her ears were full of roaring, only the sound of blood boiling, but his voice lingered in her ears, making her grab the rope thrown from the bank like a drowning person, and hold on tightly. Hold on, even if the brain has emptied everything and turned into a blank, I still know that I am saved and will not let go. Knowing that he was behind her, knowing that he would protect her well, she let all her strength drain away, and at this moment, she didn't think about anything anymore, she just leaned on him silently.Because she knew that the person behind her could give her all the strength and help to prop up her collapsed sky. She leaned against Li Shubai and let him help her to walk to the waterside pavilion and sit down. Zhou Ziqin was at a loss and didn't understand why she was acting like this all of a sudden. Seeing her pale face, he couldn't help but stammered and asked, "That... is that bracelet important?" Huang Zixia nodded, held her head in her hands, and said nothing. Li Shubai said to him: "I think Chonggu probably suspects that someone has poisoned the bracelet." Zhou Ziqin remembered what Huang Zixia had mentioned to him, so he hurriedly said: "Oh, this matter, Chonggu mentioned it to me. But we tried it on Fugui before, and it doesn't seem to be poisonous. Moreover, this bracelet was in Fu Xin Ruan should have been around for a long time, if there is poison on it, why did she die of poison just a few days ago?" Huang Zixia raised her hand, grabbed his sleeve, and squeezed out a dry and hoarse voice from her throat: "Give it to me." Zhou Ziqin nodded quickly, handed the bracelet in his hand to her, looked at Huang Zixia in surprise, at a loss. Huang Zixia took the jade bracelet with trembling hands, and stroked the two small fish with their tails in their mouths, swimming closely together, her hands trembling slightly. After a long time, she silently picked up the jade bracelet, picked it up with her nails, and put it on her left wrist.The bright and transparent jade bracelet is erratic when the sunlight shines on it.Those two lively little fish seemed to come alive, shaking slightly on her wrist. Zhou Ziqin looked at her wrists as bright as frost and snow, surrounded by that brilliant brilliance, especially smooth and clean.He didn't know why he was a little nervous, and he said dully: "Chong Gu, didn't you say that this bracelet might be poisonous?" Huang Zixia lowered her head and turned the bracelet with her right hand, her chest rose and fell slightly, but she didn't say anything. But Li Shubai stood up and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, no matter what kind of poison it is, it's impossible to seep through her unbroken skin, right?" Zhou Ziqin nodded, but he always felt that something was wrong. Huang Zixia and Li Shubai didn't say anything, they walked outside one after the other.Zhou Ziqin was stunned for a moment, and quickly chased after him, where are you going? Li Shubai turned his head and signaled him: "You go to the flower hall first and wait for us." Zhou Ziqin agreed, and asked cautiously: "Do you want to find a doctor and come over to show Chonggu?" Li Shubai shook his head and said, "Go and inspect this bracelet first. I will deal with Chonggu."
The kitchen of the Shijun Mansion is on the southwest side of the mansion, close to the Yamen, and not too far from the dining hall of the Shijun Mansion at that time. Li Shubai and Huang Zixia arrived in the kitchen, lunch was over and dinner was still early, inside a few maids and helpers were peeling water chestnut lotus pods one by one, talking and chatting at the same time. Seeing them approaching the door, Aunt Lu who was in charge quickly stood up and asked, "Do you two want some snacks?" Seeing that Huang Zixia didn't speak, Li Shubai asked, "Is there any mutton soup?" Mrs. Lu hurriedly said: "There is no yam's hoof soup, but there is still lotus seed soup today." "Then have a bowl of lotus seed soup." He said, turning his head to look at Huang Zixia. Huang Zixia walked in, picked out the same big bowl as before, washed it with her own hands, and put it on the stove. Although she came from a family background, since she was twelve years old, she often wore men's clothing and went out with her father to investigate cases, and more often mixed with a group of government officials and police officers. The lotus seed soup was served, and when she was about to stretch out her hands to serve it, she thought about it again, rolled up her narrow sleeves as before, and then went to serve it. The sea bowl is celadon from Yue Kiln, which won the emerald color of Qianfeng.Because the bowl was too big, there were two ears on both sides. She held it in both hands and walked forward slowly.Then he left the kitchen with the bowl in his hand and headed towards the hall. This is an extremely familiar road. After leaving the kitchen door, cross the loquat tree in front of the courtyard, pass through the cracked wooden door, and see the very smooth blue brick floor in front of you, and a long corridor all the way. She walked down the corridor, as she did then. At the beginning, because she was depressed, she held such a big bowl of soup along the way and stubbornly walked forward.The maid Mi Wu followed behind her, and said to her, "I'll do it, Miss, you are too tired!" But she ignored Mi Wu and just walked forward with her head buried.Her bent arms were tired, so she held the bowl ear, her hands hanging down.The Pisces bracelet slowly slipped off from the wrist, and it was lightly tapped on the porcelain bowl with a "ding" sound, like crushed ice hitting jade. The sound of "ding" also resounded today, on her wrist and on the sea bowl, it was exactly the same, the past came back again. Holding the bowl along the way, she kept silent, bowed her head and walked towards the hall step by step. Li Shubai followed behind her, and walked with her to the hall - the place where her family ate happily together. The lotus seed soup just scooped up in the porcelain bowl is steaming up with steam.Moisture condensed on her drooping eyelashes, moistening her eyes. She thought of the early summer when she was fourteen years old, the dragonflies flew low, and the stalks were born.The blood-colored sunset enveloped the whole world, and she saw his eyes, which were gentle and clear, not like looking at a little girl, but like looking at a person she was going to spend her whole life with. There were tears in his eyes when he picked up the orphans whose parents had lost their lives and sent them to the nursery in person.He said, Ah Xia, perhaps in this world, I am the only one who understands this feeling best.She saw the thin water in his eyes, the kind of sadness and worry, she didn't understand until the moment her relatives passed away. They were sitting with their backs to each other half a foot apart under the porch of the pear tree in early autumn.He turned the pages of the book, and she peeled the lotus seeds one by one.Occasionally, there was a particularly sweet lotus pod, she peeled one and handed it to him, and he ate it without making a sound.She was so angry that she took off a scallop and slammed it on his head.The soft fruit flew out, while he stroked his head and looked at her with a dazed and innocent expression. On the night he moved out, there was a snowstorm in the early hours of the morning.She got up early the next day to look for him, but when she opened the door, she found him standing by the doorstep, the eaves couldn't cover the flying snowflakes, her whole body was stiff, and snow was falling all over her head.The snow on his shoulders had melted, and then turned into ice again, freezing on his shoulders.And his expression was already numb, he just looked at her, but couldn't speak.She hurriedly pulled him into the door and brushed off the snow from his body before he stared at her and said in a very low, almost indistinct voice, I can't help it, I don't know that I left you... ...what to do. what to do!what to do?what to do…… Huang Zixia's body began to tremble slightly. She finally walked the last part of the way, walked into the hall, and put the porcelain bowl in her hand on the table. Zhou Ziqin was already waiting for her there, impatient to talk to her, but seeing Li Shubai walking in behind her, and her expression was so frozen and heavy, so he stood by the table for a while, and didn't step forward to disturb her. she. Li Shubai, who was helping her with the dishes behind him, placed the washed small bowls on the table one by one. Huang Zixia silently took a deep breath, then tightened her rolled up sleeves, and began to serve soup. She held the small bowl in her left hand, hanging above the steaming sea bowl, and scooped up the soup with a wooden spoon in her right hand. After filling the bowl, she put the wooden spoon back into the big bowl below, and put the bowl back with both hands. Pick up another bowl of soup... Her face was pale, and although she could barely control herself, she couldn't restrain her trembling figure.Li Shubai looked at her face and saw that her expression was ashen, and her eyes were full of great grief.But even so, she still stubbornly walked towards the result she feared most, step by step, extremely sad, desperate, and determined. Li Shubai raised his hand to gently press her shoulder, her trembling body felt his palm pressing on her shoulder, a kind of power flowed faintly through the joint between his palm and her shoulder, from his hand, from Her shoulders penetrated, and there was a kind of great courage that suppressed her frail and thin body. He lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Don't be afraid, I'm here." Her breathing became quickened by his words.The heavy burden that weighed her down like death, the terrible consequences she dared not face, the murderer who was destined to tear her heart apart, all became irrelevant in an instant. The important thing is to truly restore all the steps and details of the case, to strip away all the sins and not allow any cover-up, and to present all the truth extraction and refinement in front of everyone. Regardless of the truth, she now has the most solid barrier behind her, and he will give her the greatest strength, which no one can take away. She looked up at Li Shubai, nodded slowly to him, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, I'll take care of it." Li Shubai stared at her deeply, seeing the determination in her eyes, he let go of her shoulders with confidence. Her mind was clear and clear, and her trembling wrist became stable.She filled five bowls of fragrant lotus seed soup, placed them on the table one by one, and then placed them one by one in the position where the relatives were sitting. Then, as if she was exhausted, she slowly sat down at the table, stared at the five bowls of lotus seed soup for a long time, and said, "Ziqin, help me test these five bowls of lotus seed soup." "Test what?" Zhou Ziqin was a little confused. "Poison... Poison poison." Huang Zixia said slowly but clearly. Zhou Ziqin was shocked, and shouted: "How could it be poisonous? You brought it from the kitchen, was escorted by King Kui, and put it on the table yourself! Besides... where did you get the poison?" poison?" "Test." Huang Zixia gritted her teeth and said nothing. Zhou Ziqin opened his mouth, but in the end he put the small bowls on the tray and carried them back to his place of residence. Li Shubai and Huang Zixia followed him to the courtyard and waited by the door. Neither of them spoke.The weather is hazy and gloomy, shrouded in the low-slung verandah of the succulent lily, and the last few lotus flowers stand alone on the pavilion and green cover in the late summer, an unusually bright and eye-catching bright red. The long wind rolled over the lotus pond with the last heat of summer, and rushed towards Huang Zixia, covering her body. There was a thin layer of sweat on her body, piercing her skin like needle points.It was quickly evaporated by the hot wind, leaving only a trace of undetectable pain. Only the wind on the surface of the water is left, and the slanting glow is pulsed. Huang Zixia leaned against the railing, took a long time to recover, and stared blankly at Li Shubai in front of him. Li Shubai also looked at her without saying anything. Dusk fell over them, and the whole palace was dead silent. The setting sun sprinkled on the surface of the water far and near like pieces of gold, and the waves jumped, sparkling and dazzling. four years. Here, she transformed from a little girl who didn't understand the world into a desperate young girl; it was also here that she transformed from a talented woman envied by everyone to a murderous suspect despised by everyone. She once thought that she had experienced the most painful encounter in the world, tasted the most heart-piercing and heart-piercing feeling, and she also thought that there should be nothing more terrifying waiting for her in this world —— However, she never expected that when the truth came, it was even more terrifying than what she had imagined. Her body was trembling violently, but in this late summer and early autumn sunset, her whole body was chilled to the bone, and the cold sweat oozed out from her forehead and body, as thin as a pinprick. She grasped Li Shubai's hand tightly, and asked him in a hoarse and dry voice: "Could it be that I... sent that bowl of poisonous soup with my own hands, and put all my relatives to death?" Li Shubai looked at her silently, and saw that her eyes were so wide open, but those eyes were the same color as dead gray, without any light shining. That girl who traveled thousands of miles and was pushed down in the carriage by him in embarrassment, but still stubbornly said that she wanted to clear up the grievances of her relatives, the flame that had been beating in her eyes was extinguished. The belief that has been supporting her to walk down has disappeared. Li Shubai held her hand, feeling the bone-chilling coldness.Because of the chill on her body, a tingling coolness welled up in his heart.He slowly raised his arms, hugged her in his arms, suppressed his trembling voice, and said in a low voice: "No, it's not you." "It's me! I brought the bowl of soup with my own hands, and I filled them up one by one with my own hands, and asked them to drink one by one. Everything...is me!" She cried out uncontrollably, her body was tightly hugged by Li Shubai, and she couldn't struggle, but the muscles on her face were twitching slightly, which was very terrifying. Li Shubai was startled for a while, he pushed her crazy-looking against the railing, looked directly at her and shouted: "Huang Zixia, calm down!" She grabbed his arm hard, trying to shake him off her body.But how could she be his opponent, she was easily suppressed by him, her random struggles only brought her messy breathing. She heard him whispering in her ear: "It's not your fault, it's not. You are just a part of this murder with a borrowed knife. You are being used without knowing it. And what you should hate the most is not yourself, It's the man behind." She slowed down and stared blankly at him. He stared at her, and said word by word: "You have gone through twists and turns, and finally came here step by step. Instead of regretting and blaming yourself here, it is better to take a blow, expose the other party's conspiracy, reverse the case for yourself, and for your parents." , brother, grandmother and uncle to capture the real culprit, this is the business!" Huang Zixia stared at him for a long time before finally opening his mouth, and squeezed out a few broken words in his hoarse throat: "The reason... I need to know his reason..." "Yes, this is the next important thing, instead of blaming yourself!" She gradually calmed down amidst his words, and after a long time, mist rose in those dead gray eyes, and large and large teardrops slid down and fell on his hands, causing slight pain. He looked down, and it turned out that she had scratched several small wounds on his hand just now, and the dripping tears seeped into the wounds, which made him feel a little pain. He silently raised his hand, gently wiped away her tears, and then brushed her messy hair behind her ears.His usual cold eyes now look extraordinarily gentle and transparent. Inside there is a lake that no one knows about. When he presents it to her, he can embrace her completely. The wind and rain in the world will never be able to... invasion. He stared at her and said slowly: "If you are tired, take a rest. I have everything." She burst into tears and cried uncontrollably in his arms for a long time. But in the end, he finally heard her choked up voice, which was low and hoarse, but finally squeezed out word by word, extremely difficult: "No, I'm right... I finally came here after all the twists and turns, this last moment, I will work hard to do well, and I will... finish everything with my own hands!"
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Ziqin's closed door suddenly opened, his face was blue and his eyes were round, he ran out and stood in front of them, his mouth was open and he was panting violently, but he couldn't utter a word. Li Shubai had already let go of Huang Zixia, and the two of them were sitting on the railing of the corridor, separated by half a foot, neither far nor close. Huang Zixia straightened her waist, freed her back from the pillar, and stood straight in front of Zhou Ziqin. Li Shubai asked, "How was the result?" Zhou Ziqin was short of breath, and after barely suppressing the violent ups and downs of his chest, he finally choked out four words: "Poison poison! Five bowls!" Huang Zixia's stiff body softened as if out of strength.Li Shubai supported her, made her sit on the veranda by the water, and patted her on the back. And she finally breathed a sigh of relief, the darkness in front of her eyes and the roar in her ears gradually faded away. She leaned her head against the pillar, closed her eyes and said softly, "The case is closed." Zhou Ziqin opened his mouth wide and looked at her blankly: "Case closed? Which case? Is it Fu Xinruan's case? Or Qi Teng's case?" "All, and the case of the former governor of Chengdu Huang's family," she said with the last strength in her chest, "these three cases are connected by an invisible thread. Now this We have already grasped the end of the thread, and now we only need to pull it hard, and the curtain that covers everything will fall, and the case will be over." "It's over...?" Zhou Ziqin chewed on her words, feeling extremely sad in his heart - I have no clue at all, how come you already understand everything? "Yes, this case, no, it should be said, these three cases are all over."
