The sky was completely dark, the moon was hidden, the stars were scarce, the birds were silent, and the whole city had fallen asleep. But Lu Heng is a person who never gets tired once he starts working. He hurried back to Nanzhen Fusi without stopping, and called back the person who handled Bai Ri to re-examine Han Wenyan's body.
At night, there was a corpse lying in an empty room. After a day of decay, the corpse had begun to swell and stink. The night wind was howling, ghosts were full of ghosts, and a group of shadows silently surrounded the morgue. Jin Yiwei, who was carrying the lantern, rubbed his arms, and couldn't help but say to his companion, "Your Excellency is coming back so late for an autopsy? Why did the woman come with you?"
He, a vigorous man, had goosebumps all over his body when he saw this scene, but Lu Heng took Wang Yanqing to look at the corpse. The companion shrugged and said, "A woman who can be admired by adults is always unusual. Don't say it, be careful that adults hear you skin you."
Ahead, Lu Heng took off his gloves, and Jin Yiwei, who was accompanying him, immediately stepped forward to take it. Seeing this, Wang Yanqing walked over gently and asked, "Brother, did you see it?"
Lu Heng didn't want to say more, and said, "Let's go out first."
The morgue was full of peculiar smells. Lu Heng didn't want to bring Wang Yanqing over, but Wang Yanqing insisted, so Lu Heng had to let her. It is not good to stay in this environment for a long time. After Lu Heng found out the answer, the first thing he did was to take Wang Yanqing away, and then he would not be too late to say the rest.
Lu Heng has a separate office palace in Nanzhen Fusi. Sometimes he can't go home in time. It is common for him to stay in Nanzhen Fusi, so the palace has everything for changing clothes. Lu Heng went to the back to wash his hands and change his clothes, while Wang Yanqing was waiting for him in the bedroom.
There was no one else in the palace, only a room of scrolls and archives remained, but Wang Yanqing sat quietly in his seat, with no intention of flipping the scrolls at all. After a while, Lu Heng changed his clothes and came out. When he looked up, he saw Wang Yanqing holding a cup of hot tea, obediently sitting on the Huanghuali armchair. The office chair was too big for her, she only took up half of it, but she still tried to sit up straight, like a rabbit waiting for the hunter to return.
Lu Heng's heart couldn't help softening. He has been in Jinyiwei for twelve years, and he has never paid attention to the decoration of Nanzhen Fusi. Now that he had her, he suddenly felt that the palace seemed to come alive, no longer as cold and chilling as it used to be.
Lu Heng put down his sleeves and walked towards her quickly: "It's late at night, I might have to stay in Nanzhen Fusi today. Are you tired?"
Wang Yanqing shook her head. She was keenly aware of the meaning of Lu Heng's words and asked, "Brother, do you have something to do tonight?"
Lu Heng paused slightly, looked up at her with a smile, "Qingqing's mind-reading skills are getting better and better."
Wang Yanqing shook her head, very self-aware of this: "Although I can recognize expressions, I'm more focused on finding flaws. If the other party has no flaws, I won't be able to see them. Unlike my brother, who can infer hidden flaws based on Ji Huan's subconscious words. Contains information. The only reason I can hear your voice is because I know you enough."
Lu Heng was very satisfied with this statement. He smiled and walked to Wang Yanqing's side. There was a wider seat next to him, but he wanted to squeeze with Wang Yanqing: "Qingqing is right."
Wang Yanqing was not as strong as Lu Heng, no matter how tall or strong, so he was forced to lean on Lu Heng and was half hugged by him. Wang Yanqing sighed and said, "Brother, this is your yamen. There are a lot of people outside. If someone sees you, how can you stand up as an official?"
"I don't rely on showing my face." Lu Heng still hugged the beauty without shyness and said, "Qingqing, do you still want to know me more?"
It sounds okay at first glance, but in the middle of the night, this situation always makes people suspect that he is hinting at something else. Wang Yanqing blushed slightly, gave him a shy and angry look, and said, "Be serious. What did you find on Han Wenyan's body?"
Lu Heng raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Qingqing, beautiful scenery, you are already sitting in my arms, and you are mentioning another man to me?"
"He's a dead man."
Well, since he was a dead man, Lu Heng reluctantly allowed him to occupy Wang Yanqing's attention. Lu Heng wrapped her arms around the beauty's slender waist, and her chin naturally rested on her bun, feeling that she had relaxed after working all day: "You also said that when Ji Huan was arraigned, he was obviously hiding something. At that time, I still I don't understand, he has already explained the murder and writing the book, what else is there to hide? Until I went to Jian Yun's house today, I finally figured it out."
Wang Yanqing was very curious and quickly asked, "What?"
Direct answers have never been Lu Heng's style. He likes to lead people around in circles and let them figure out the cause and effect on their own. Lu Heng asked, "Qingqing, why would an adult man fall into a coma after being pushed by a woman, and he couldn't even wake up when someone dragged him into the water?"
Wang Yanqing frowned, and his face gradually became serious: "You mean, someone drugged Han Wenyan?"
Lu Heng nodded and acquiesced to Wang Yanqing's statement: "When Han Wenyan's body was just picked up at noon, the water covered all traces, I just thought he was drowned. Today I entered the door of Han's house, and the more I looked, the more wrong I felt. I guessed that there might be some details on the body that I missed, and that was the real cause of Han Wenyan's death."
"So you're coming back for an autopsy right away?"
"Yes." Lu Heng said, "his internal organs were bruised, his eyes were bleeding, and the blood did not coagulate, which is in line with all the symptoms of drowning. However, because of the low water temperature in early autumn, his skin was pale when he was salvaged, which made me mistakenly think that he was just a drowning man. He died of suffocation. When he came back in the evening and looked at him again, his body had been left at room temperature for an afternoon, and it had returned to normal, with a yellowish composure on his face."
Wang Yanqing tried very hard to keep up with Lu Heng's thoughts, and asked tentatively, "Is this yellow..."
"Jaundice." Lu Heng said, "You are young and have never experienced this kind of disease. Generally, the elderly and infants will have jaundice. If a young adult has jaundice on the face, it is usually a liver problem."
Wang Yanqing blinked, she didn't quite understand, but it didn't prevent her from feeling that Lu Heng had a strong knowledge and even knew about this kind of thing. Wang Yanqing asked humbly, "So what happened to him?"
The beautiful woman was in her arms, not only being obediently letting him hold it, but also looking at him with admiration and admiration, Lu Heng felt great satisfaction in his heart. He hugged Wang Yanqing tightly and sighed softly: "Qingqing, you are right. After the murder, it turns out that a partner is the most likely."
Wang Yanqing vaguely guessed this from Lu Heng's performance, but he didn't expect it to be true. She opened her eyes wide, a little dazed and puzzled: "is it really her?"
"That's right." Lu Heng said, "The silver needle can't be tested, there is no trace of poisoning, and it can last for many days, and it will continue to slowly weaken Han Wenyan's body. Who else can be except the person beside the pillow? Do you remember what Ji Huan said, Han Wenyan suddenly vomited and had diarrhea at the beginning of the month, and when he recovered the next day, others thought he had eaten a bad stomach. Maybe it was not because of the bad food, but because he was poisoned with food. ."
Wang Yanqing felt a chill inexplicably. The person beside the pillow poisoned the food, and then the two of them still slept in the same bed without arguing or arguing. How much hatred must this be? Sure enough, things are close to far away, close relatives to distant couples.
Wang Yanqing held her breath and asked, "What kind of food?"
"Today is the sixth day of the eighth month, and the symptoms of vomiting occurred at the beginning of the month. The effect is so fast, it should be some kind of poisonous mushroom." ."
Wang Yanqing was amazed, and then she thought of something, and her expression became subtle again: "How do you know so much?"
"I was afraid that others would poison me, so I deliberately researched many kinds of foods that may produce toxins." After Lu Heng finished speaking, he glanced at her clearly, "Don't worry, I definitely didn't have the idea of killing my wife. Find out how."
Wang Yanqing was still distressed at first, but when he heard what he said later, he was immediately annoyed: "Who doubts you? I thought you knew so well about food poisoning, you must have been worried before, and I wanted to comfort you. , you actually think of me like this?"
After Wang Yanqing finished speaking, she felt the middle of the pack: "No, who is your wife?"
Lu Heng held her back with a smile, and coaxed: "Of course I won't doubt you, if one day you face me with swords and swords, and even wish me to die, I must have done something wrong to you. Even if I die in your hands , I am also willing."
Wang Yanqing frowned as he listened, and couldn't help but bump him with an elbow: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's good, don't say such unlucky things."
"Okay, we won't talk about it." Lu Heng tightened his arms and pressed his chin tightly against Wang Yanqing's hair, but there was an inexplicable haze in his eyes.
Lu Heng used to never worry about gains and losses, but recently, he often feels scared. Lu Heng couldn't help hugging Wang Yanqing tightly. On this lonely and quiet autumn night, he especially wanted to confirm Wang Yanqing's existence: "Qingqing, you have no objection, so you are willing to be my wife, right?"
Wang Yanqing thought to herself what was going on with this person, she acquiesced, and asked again and again. As a woman, what can she say
Wang Yanqing was embarrassed to admit it, deliberately snorted softly, and made an attitude of not buying it: "It's still a long way off, we'll talk about it later. How did you suspect Jian Yun?"
Wang Yanqing's voice was obviously tender, but Lu Heng's heart throbbed heavily when he heard it. He suppressed the messy thoughts that almost disturbed him to concentrate, and said, "I felt something was wrong before, and the time when Han Wenyan fainted was too coincidental. Judging from Chang Tinglan's appearance, it doesn't seem like he has the brain to give it to him. Han Wenyan was addicted to drugs and used Ji Huan's knife to kill people. It can only be that Han Wenyan was weak and emotional after arguing with Chang Tinglan, but he didn't recover all of a sudden, and fainted after being pushed. Ji Huan delivered Han Wenyan can't eat what comes, and Ji Huan has been poisoned, so there is no need to do more and throw Han Wenyan into the river. Therefore, the only person who poisons can be Han Wenyan's family, such as running the housework and serving him every day. The wife who cooks."
"Then how are you sure it's her?"
"The smell of her home." Lu Heng said, "As soon as I entered the room, I felt that this was not a boudoir girl's room. The furniture was neatly arranged, the items were sorted into categories, and everything was placed in the position with the shortest path of action. It may be a coincidence. I think of more and more doubts, so I asked you to go through the closet. Sure enough, everything in the Han family passed through Jian Yun's hands, including Han Wenyan's clothes. The clothes and handkerchiefs are stored separately. Handkerchiefs are small objects that are placed on the closet grid, while coats and robes are pressed under the cupboards."
Wang Yanqing didn't understand Lu Heng's meaning for a while: "Isn't this a normal way of stacking clothes?"
"Yes." Lu Heng said, "In that case, why is there a woman's handkerchief in the close-fitting interlayer of Han Wenyan's clothes?"
Wang Yanqing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly blessed: "You mean, this was deliberately put in by Jian Yun, and wanted to frame Chang Tinglan?"
After figuring it out, many clues came to light. Han Wenyan's clothes were new, and with Jian Yun's meticulousness, it was impossible not to notice that there were handkerchiefs in the clothes. If Han Wenyan deliberately brought Chang Tinglan's handkerchief in order to please his lover before going out, it would also be placed in an easy-to-reach place and would not be stored close to the body.
So many contradictions, there is only one explanation, that is, this handkerchief was deliberately stuffed into Han Wenyan's clothes by Jian Yun. Once Han Wenyan died, the owner of the handkerchief, Chang Tinglan, would be suspected by the government. In this way, Chang Tinglan can't hide her affair and buying drugs.
Jian Jun can solve the two confidants of Han Wenyan and Chang Tinglan without a single shot, and she and Ji Huan can justifiably stick together.
The only accident was that Ji Huan also had the intention to kill, secretly followed Chang Tinglan, and threw Han Wenyan into the river. Jian Yun's originally perfect murder plan was destroyed instead.
Wang Yanqing admired and sighed, "Amazing. I still feel that she was let down by her cousin. She is alone and has a very pitiful life. It turns out that it is me who should be pitiful."
"No way." Lu Heng hugged Wang Yanqing tightly and said, "You just don't have any intention of harming anyone, Qingqing is the best woman in the world."
Sweet talk, Wang Yanqing smiled and glanced at him angrily: "Since you have already guessed it, why didn't you arrest her just now?"
Lu Heng nodded: "That's a good question. Now, let's go back to the original question. What did Ji Huan hide?"
Wang Yanqing was surprised: "Didn't Jian Yun kill him?"
"No." Lu Heng laughed very lightly, with disdain in his voice, "With his brain, he has no idea what Jian Yun is doing."
Wang Yanqing blinked, and suddenly realized why Lu Heng stayed in Nanzhen Fusi tonight: "You sent someone to monitor Jian Yun?"
"It's not surveillance, it's supervision." Lu Heng said, "Jin Yiwei's pro-military commander's residence is responsible for patrolling and arresting and clearing the atmosphere. This is my duty."
"You suspect that the real manuscript of "The Legend of Heroes" is in Jian Yun's hands?"
Lu Heng didn't deny it, nodded and said, "It's almost certain that it's her. If I were her, I would definitely destroy the evidence before the incident happened. Why bother to find it, wouldn't it be better if she took it out herself?"
The author says:
Lu Heng: Okay, today's pretense is done, you can start praising me.
