"How do you know you can't see it if you don't try?"
Shi Qingxue smiled slyly and continued to close the door.
Do you really think that you are a 'colorful phoenix' that can shine brightly
Before Mo Junyu's speechless expression could appear on his face, something magical happened.
The moment Shi Qingxue just closed the door, everyone did feel that there was darkness in front of them, but in just the blink of an eye, a bright light shone in from a small hole in the corner and fell on the floor in the corner of the room.
The diameter of the beam is only three or four inches, but because the sun is bright at noon, it is enough for people to see the general direction in the dark.
"Why, how could this happen?" Mo Junyu's voice stuttered.
He clearly arranged this room in accordance with the requirements of the bird-keeper. He absolutely blocked out the light beams for fear of scaring Caifeng.
But now it seems that no matter whether the door is open or closed, the light in the room never decreases. So is it possible that Caifeng...
"No, Caifeng died of poisoning."
Shi Qingxue saw Mo Junyu's doubts at a glance and took the initiative to explain.
Mo Junyu didn't believe it and pointed to the hole in the corner of the house, "Then how do you explain this?"
Shi Qingxue shrugged, "I can only say that the 'Colorful Phoenix' is not as afraid of the sun as we thought. I have read "Qinzhou Chronicles: Colorful Phoenix". Although it is said above that the colorful phoenix likes the shade and lives in a place where the sun does not see the sky all year round. deep in the forest, but there is no clear point that Caifeng cannot see the light, and... "
When she got to the key point, she suddenly stopped.
Mo Junyu glanced sideways and urged, "And what? Why don't you say any more?"
"Nothing, the content recorded later has nothing to do with this matter. However, we can know that Caifeng did not die because of this extra beam of light.
It's just that this beam of light may actually have some effect. "Shi Qingxue pursed her lips and kept her eyes on the trajectory of the beam.
Mo Junyu still didn't understand, "Since you said Caifeng didn't die because of the light, then why did you say Caifeng's death was related to the light?"
"Didn't you notice that the position where the light shines in is a bit subtle?" Shi Qingxue blinked and reminded slyly.
Mo Junyu walked to the point where the light fell, and then looked at the location where the birdcage had been placed. His doubts became more intense, "These two places are a full one or two feet apart. No matter how scattered the light is, the light will still be there." It can’t possibly affect Caifeng, right?”
You can't use power from a distance, right
Shi Qingxue smiled, called Xia Mang, and whispered in the other person's ear, "Xia Mang, take this..."
Mo Junyu watched Xia Mang take something from Shi Qingxue's hand, but because of the angle, he couldn't see what it was.
And because of his status, he had no shame to ask.
He had no choice but to suppress his curiosity and look directly at the two of them.
He wanted to see what these two people could do.
I saw Xia Mang taking the things and flying up to the beam first, flying over with a swish, without stopping on top, her movements were so fast as if she wanted to show off her Qinggong.
Mo Junyu's eyes widened, and he became even more suspicious.
He vaguely realized that the roof that Xia Mang had just skipped was the place where he had just mentioned that there was a trace but nothing.
He saw something seemed to be placed on it, but the light in the room was too dark and he couldn't see clearly what was on it
Then, Xia Mang walked towards him again and blessed him, "Your Highness, please give way. I need to place something in your place."
Mo Junyu raised his eyebrows, said nothing, and took the initiative to give way to Xia Mang.
Xia Mang stood where Mo Junyu was standing just now, and the beam of light hit her face. She took half a step back and let the beam of light fall on her chest before turning her head to look at Shi Qingxue.
Shi Qingxue shook her head and waved to her, "Back up a little further and let the beam of light shine at your feet."
After Xia Mang did as he was told, he looked at Shi Qingxue again. It wasn't until Shi Qingxue nodded that she took something out of her arms again.
Mo Junyu was confused by the mysterious behavior of this master and servant, and couldn't help but ask: "What on earth do you want to do?"
Shi Qingxue smiled and said coquettishly: "Your Highness, please be patient. We will see the outcome later."
What Xia Mang took out this time was a round bronze mirror.
She placed the bronze mirror where she had just stood.
Set up.
The light beam coming from the corner of the eaves just falls on the mirror surface of the bronze mirror.
Adjust the angle and the beam will be reflected back to the beams.
Then it landed exactly where Xia Mang had touched.
Something magical happened in an instant!
After the beam hit somewhere on the eaves, it was reflected again, and this time it hit the spot where the birdcage had been.
If Mo Junyu remembered correctly, it happened to shine on the bamboo tube containing Cai Feng's edible spring water.
Mo Junyu's eyes almost turned into dead fish eyes, and he was so surprised that he couldn't speak.
"How could this happen?" He couldn't believe what his eyes saw.
It's just a small beam of light. It's far away from the birdcage and should have nothing to do with it.
After two reflections, it actually hit the birdcage.
"So Caifeng was killed by this beam of light!" Mo Junyu almost shouted excitedly.
He finally found the way the murderer killed Caifeng, and the evidence was all ready!
Because he suddenly remembered who was the person who stood in Xia Mang's current position? !
Shi Qingxue quickly put an end to Mo Junyu's fantasy and reminded her again: "Your Highness, Qingxue just said that the colorful phoenix likes the shade, but that doesn't mean it will die when exposed to light. It was poisoned to death.
And the clues we have so far are not enough to prove who arranged all this. After all... There is no mirror in this room anymore, is there? "
Mo Junyu suddenly fainted when he heard this.
Shi Qingxue was right. Even if he went to tell Mo Xiangbin about his important discovery now, Mo Xiangbin probably wouldn't believe it.
There isn't even any decent evidence. It's impossible to deduce who the murderer is just because there are traces of movement on the beams or who has stood in a certain position, right
Mo Junyu was really anxious. Regardless of his image, he grabbed his hair irritably and asked Shi Qingxue, "If these are useless, then why did we work so hard just now? It was a waste of time!"
Shi Qingxue: "..."
The people who had been acting just now were clearly her and Xia Mang. How did Mo Junyu think that he was also busy
"I just came here to determine how the murderer killed Caifeng, and now I have found it."
Mo Junyu showed a true expression, "I said from the beginning that someone used this beam to shoot Caifeng to death, but you still have to say that Caifeng was poisoned."
"..." Shi Qingxue no longer knew how to explain to the other party the simple and easy-to-understand truth that 'a small beam of light can really kill a phoenix'.
Shi Qingxue sighed and patiently started from the beginning: "Doctor Shen has found poisonous stains on the bamboo tube in the birdcage, but because the poison is extremely easy to attack, if the bamboo tube had been put in early, Caifeng would have been poisoned long ago. , so he concluded that someone poisoned the spring water you bought during the birthday banquet... "
"Impossible, every time I prepare spring water for Caifeng, Gu will take a sip first." Mo Junyu flatly denied this speculation.
Shi Qingxue also nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, that means the poison can only be placed in the bamboo tube and then melted into the water through the bamboo tube. Caifeng was poisoned after eating it."
Mo Junyu retorted again: "But didn't you just say that the poison has a rapid onset, and you would have been poisoned if you put it in the bamboo tube?"
"Yes!" Shi Qingxue nodded again.
Mo Junyu felt like he was going to be confused by Qingxue. Why did she nod no matter what the answer was
"So how did Caifeng die?"
Shi Qingxue smiled and handed Mo Junyu a small square scarf, "Smell this first and see if you can guess what it is?"
Mo Junyu did as he was told, put it in front of his nose, smelled it, and immediately moved it away.
He covered his nose in disgust, "What is this? It smells like rotten eggs?"
"It's sulfur and white phosphorus." Shi Qingxue revealed the answer.
Mo Junyu still looked confused and explained in detail: "Doctor Shen also found these two stains in the water, and both of them are extremely easy to catch fire at room temperature, so it is very likely that someone used these two things to remove the poison first. Wrap and place at the bottom of the bamboo tube.
Because they are not soluble in water, the poison will not leach into the water. Caifeng will not be poisoned if she drinks such water. But with that beam of light, the heat suddenly gathered at the bottom of the bamboo tube, and the temperature rose... "
Before Shi Qingxue finished explaining, Mo Junyu had already understood, "After the two burned, the poison also flowed out, so Caifeng drank the poisonous water and was poisoned! But who on earth came up with such a sinister method?" ?”
With such twists and turns, if you ignore a single detail, you may miss the truth.
Shi Qingxue thought about it and reminded vaguely: "If you want to kill Caifeng in this way, you must meet several conditions. One is to have the opportunity to come into contact with the bamboo tube from the beginning, and the other is to be able to enter and exit the house freely. The third is..."
She did not continue, but looked at the place where the mirror was placed on the ground.
If the mirror on the roof can be taken away afterwards, the mirror on the ground must be taken away at the time of the crime, otherwise it will be discovered immediately.
Mo Junyu's eyes darkened and anger appeared on his face, but he immediately suppressed it.
He still had another question: "Even if Lao San really designed all this, how could he accurately calculate how we would layout Caifeng's residence?"
Shi Qingxue lowered her eyes and said lightly: "He doesn't need to guess, as long as you do what he designed from the beginning."
"It's a joke, how could Gu listen to him?" Mo Junyu sneered, and intuitively what Qingxue said was impossible.
He vowed: "Gu has no experience in raising colorful phoenixes, so he only follows the requirements of the bird raising messenger..."
Mo Junyu's face suddenly turned pale and his voice stopped abruptly. There was no need to say the rest of the words.
The so-called bird messenger is actually Mo Junjiu's person!
The expression on Mo Junyu's face changed again and again, and then he fell into a long silence.
Shi Qingxue had no choice but to change the subject, "Let's go to Prince Rui's Mansion to see it next!"
Mo Junyu didn't know why, "The cause of Caifeng's death has been determined. What are we going to do in Prince Rui's Mansion again?"
Shi Qingxue pointed to the imperial edict and the note in his hand, and said with a proud smile: "Next, we should test whether the sacred colorful phoenix is really that magical and can record yin and yang."
Mo Junyu's eyes suddenly lit up again, and he hurriedly said: "That's right! Why didn't I expect that you just confirmed that the murderer had met Caifeng before killing Caifeng, so Caifeng must also have recorded the murderer look like."
Shi Qingxue smiled and said nothing, acquiescing.
When they arrived at Prince Rui's Mansion, Mo Junyang had already arranged the place for the experiment, obviously expecting their return.
But when his eyes touched Shi Qingxue, he was obviously stunned.
Shi Qingxue pretended not to see Mo Junyang's emotional changes, took the initiative to explain why she appeared here, and briefly recounted her experiment in the East Palace just now.
The more Mo Junyang listened, the deeper his frown deepened.
He interrupted Shi Qingxue unhappily, "This matter has nothing to do with you. You should go back to Duke Shi's Mansion first."
The scene suddenly became awkward.
Mo Junyang actually chased Qingxue away
No one knew why Mo Junyang, who had always followed Shi Qingxue's advice and was not as gentle as Mo Junyang, would say such a thing.
There was even a hint of obvious disgust in his tone.
The audience said they couldn't accept it.
Xia Mang looked at Shi Qingxue worriedly, fearing that his master would be furious because of this.
"Liu Niang." Xia Mang saw Qingxue's expression turned ugly and quickly shouted cautiously.
