The Delicate Lady Coroner

The night was splashed with ink, and people all the way started from the gate of Wu Zhaohou Mansion and went straight to Guang'an Street in the east of the city.

The long night of April’s prosperous spring was still a bit chilly, Bo Ruoyou sat by the window, the cool breeze rushed in from under the curtain, she shrank as it was blowing, frowned at Huo Weilou, raised his hand and took off his robe towards her Putting on her body, Bo Ruoyou blinked. If it was in the past, she would have to refuse, but now she accepts it calmly. She closes her clothes and raises the corners of her lips.

Huo Weilou held her hands again and felt that her hands were cold. He put her hands in his palms. When he opened his mouth, he was serious and his voice was quite solemn. "If you have any thoughts in the future, let me know first. You don't need to run for the investigation. If you encounter a gangster, how can only one Zhou Liang protect you?"

His stern face was quite serious, making Bo Ruoyou think of her elderly elders. Her smile fell to the bottom of her pupils, her eyebrows softened, "Master Hou has been busy with the investigation of the golden ointment these past two days, and I have not had any I always want to get some more clues to tell Lord Hou. Lord Hou can rest assured that I have a sense of measure and will not do anything dangerous."

Although Huo Weilou did not fully agree, she knew that she looked at her gentle and kind words but had a very good idea, so she had to bear the rest of her words, "Today the Taiyuan Hospital has been consulting in the south of the city, but there is still no way to detoxify. I told them the golden ointment. It was made of beauty smile, but some people found the fruit and seeds of beauty smile in Ouchi medicine storehouse, but the way that beauty smile was made in this way was mostly unheard of, and it didn't help much."

Bo Ruoyou's heart sank slightly, "How about the world today?"

Huo Weilou's eyes were slightly cold when he heard the words, "Although it is not as difficult as it was when the poison was exposed, but I did not eat any food for the whole day today, and he was vomited out for a while after being fed some gruel by Father Fu at night. It's hard."

Bo Ruoyou had to appease Huo Weilou. Huo Weilou squeezed her palm and continued to say Song Yu’s death. “The two people whom Song Yu saw before his death were all related to the golden anointing. The interrogation in the jail two days later learned that Song Yu, please A rich gentleman named Li, who entered the mansion, was the first person in the capital to sell gold ointment. Later, the gold ointment dispersed, and it was him who helped fuel the flames."

After a pause, Huo Weilou said again: "He has a lot of connections in the southwest. The state capitals in the southwest are less regulated, and they are now more severe than the capital. The court has sent inspectors to the southwest, but it will take half a month. You can only get there, and the people who sold this thing in the Southwest, you have also met, guess who it is."

This is the first time Huo Weilou has said this in such detail, and she never imagined that she would have seen someone selling this thing in the Southwest!

To be able to do this kind of business is definitely not an ordinary small business hawker, and when it comes to the famous merchant and wealthy, she doesn’t recognize anyone. As soon as she read this, Bo Ruoyou frowned. It’s not right. Seeing her, she still met one of…

"Could it be the Shen family?"

When he returned to Beijing, he took the boat of the Shen family, and Shen Ya was the owner of the Shen family. Bo Ruoyou was able to manipulate the dispersion of the golden cream, and only the Shen family was as wealthy as the Shen family.

Huo Weilou's eyes showed a positive expression, "It is the Shen family, who originally made their fortunes from the south. They discovered this thing last year, and then bought it in the southwest, and then sold it in the shops. Now it is quite large. Years ago in the southwest. The land benefited a lot, so they moved the idea of ​​bringing this logistics into Beijing. Before Song Yu's death, he asked the Fushen Li, who was surnamed Fu in the Fuzhong, to be an old friend of the Shen family who relied heavily on it in Beijing."

Bo Ruoyou heard a numb scalp. The Shen family was the richest man in the Zhou Dynasty. If they were selling this thing privately, one can imagine how many people in the southwest were smoking. "Song Master was also involved in this matter. middle?"

Huo Weilou's voice was low, and he told her in more detail, "It is difficult to move forward only if the household department is checked for corruption in Qinshui County. Because of errors in several key account books, we found Song Yu, Song Yu also realized that at this moment, he was poisoned. As soon as he died, the clue was broken. Now these people are related to the golden anointing, and we suspect that the corruption of the household department is more or less related to the golden anointing. related."

Bo Ruo quietly opened his eyes, "Could it be... the money that the person behind the scenes greedily took was used to do the gold cream business?"

When Huo Weilou saw her, his lips were slightly curved, and his eyes were open with joy, "Now I am tracing the origins of the clues of the golden ointment scattered in the capital, but if the person who poisoned Song Yu can be found right now, I will help us. A lot of effort."

There are so many merchants selling gold anointing privately in the capital. Even though the company is acting neatly, it takes a lot of work to find out one by one clues. But if you can directly find out who poisoned Song Yu, the household will be corrupt. The case can be solved directly, and it can also be known whether the corruption of the household department has something to do with the golden ointment.

Huo Weilou looked at Bo Ruoyou with a deep gaze, clearly showing a bit of eagerness, Bo Ruoyou was uncomfortable when he saw him, and whispered: "This time, it may not be possible to find the murderer—"

Huo Weilou said softly, "Whether you can find it or not, you have done a great job."

The enthusiasm of his words fell on her, and her heart beat quickly. He was first the superior she admired, and now he is the person who holds her hand and looks at her with tender eyes. She is always close. People who would be shy when praised by the reader, not to mention that in such a situation, she felt that her breathing was a little unsatisfactory, and the already dark car suddenly heated up.

"I... I'm fine... I wonder if I can do something..."

Bo Ruoyou leaned back, her voice softened due to shyness, no longer as calm and indestructible as usual, Huo Weilou looked at her like this, and her eyes became more enthusiastic, and then she spoke again. Low and dumb, it seems that there is a burning throat, "You are like this, why do you do it?"

Bo Ruo calmly said, "I'm the author, this should be..."

Huo Weilou squeezed her hand, "You didn't tell the truth."

He looked at her eagerly, Bo Ruo secluded and couldn't retreat, and saw his hopes in his eyes clearly, and inexplicably felt a numbness on her back, she swallowed hard, and finally defeated, "I …I want to make Master Hou's things go smoothly, but I am weak, and I don’t know if I can help Master Hou. Today is considered lucky."

She has always been determined and calm, even when she was contemptuous and unreasonable, but facing him in a high position, after all, a lot of powerlessness, Huo Weilou understood, the light in the eyes dimmed, and she leaned away from her even more. Closer, "You are not weak. You are the person who has the greatest influence on me in the world. You do more than many incumbents. You are focused and tenacious, your mind is extraordinary, and your appearance is better than that of gods. There is no portrait. You make me feel at ease and uncontrollable, and no one makes me like you—"

Bo Ruoyou was listening to the ups and downs of his heart, but his voice stopped abruptly, and he couldn't help asking: "What?"

Huo Weilou paused, his eyes hot, "It makes me want to do something untimely."

Bo Ruoyou didn't understand at first, and then her eyes moved, and a fire slowly rose on her face. Although he didn't say it was very pale, she also thought that it must be a very intimate thing between men and women. She breathed. Lived, a thin layer of sweat broke out of the palm he was holding, and the tingling feeling spread from her heart. She wanted to be farther away from him, but her heart beats like a beating.

Huo Weilou finished speaking, took a deep breath, and suddenly straightened up and backed away. He restrained his patience in his eyes, but he still couldn't bear to let it go. Doing is just in front of my eyes, I also feel happy, there is no difference between you and me."

She did say this, and Huo Weilou obviously also remembered it. Bo Ruoyou was a little bit sour in her heart. She calmed down. Knowing that he would not be angry, she retorted: "But Lord Hou and I are indeed distinct. ."

Huo Weilou twitched the corners of his lips helplessly, his face was silent, but his tone was complaining, "What about your position? I didn't see you fulfilling my wish."

Bo Ruoyou knew what he was talking about, and then retorted: "Who made Lord Hou's wish out of time..."

Huo Weilou was noncommittal, and expressed his agreement meaningfully, "Well, yes, I do have a lot of untimely thoughts—"

His eyes seemed to be hot, thin Ruoyou's eyes trembled, and he didn't dare to refute him anymore.

The carriage galloped all the way, and when it reached Guang'an Street, the lights on the entire long street were still dazzling, and the group of people stopped directly in front of the Weijia tea shop. They were so loud that almost the carriage stopped, and the shopkeeper in the tea shop was alarmed. Upon welcoming them, the attendant of the Hou Mansion cleared out the guests in the teahouse, and then Huo Weilou took Bo Ruoyou out of the carriage.

When I entered the lobby of the tea shop, I saw the noble and elegant decoration inside, and there were also musicians and singers. It was more interesting than the ordinary tea shop. When the Huo Wei Building stood still in the hall on the first floor, the shopkeeper was already scared. Faintly pale, after stepping forward to salute, Huo Weilou glanced at the tea shop indifferently, and pointed to the back hall, "Go and search first."

The shopkeeper showed anxious expression, "Hou, Master Hou, what's wrong with the shop?"

Huo Weilou would naturally not answer his words, the shopkeeper said again: "But for the gold anointing matter? Please, Master Hou Mingjian, all the gold anointing in the shop has been turned over to the government. Sell ​​this thing."

The attendants entered the back hall and searched. The others searched on the second and third floors. Huo Weilou was silent for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "Do you recognize Song Yu, the servant of the household department?"

The shopkeeper turned his eyes and finally chose to nod his head, "If you recognize it, Master Song is also a regular customer in our tea shop. Naturally, the little people dare not ignore it. It’s just that Master Song will have a small shop in the future. I don’t know where the little people are. Thoughtful?"

"Seven days ago, did Song Yu come to your store?"

"Seven... Seven days ago... villain, the villain can't remember for a while..." The shopkeeper first thought hard, and then smiled and said that he couldn't remember clearly.

Huo Weilou's sword eyebrows clumped, and he glanced at the attendant around him, and immediately someone took the clerk standing on the side of the lobby to another place for interrogation. When the shopkeeper saw it, he sweated down and looked out the door from time to time. , As if waiting for someone.

Huo Weilou was not in a hurry. After a while, he chose a place to sit down. He pointed to his side and made Bo Ruoyou take a seat. Bo Ruoyou hesitated first, but he stared at him dissatisfiedly before accompany him to sit down.

Huo Weilou glanced at the shopkeeper, "Take tea."

The shopkeeper immediately came forward respectfully. As the shopkeeper of this teahouse, although he is not a small servant, his skill should not be bad. However, when he made tea for the two of Huoweilou, the cup of tea was in the cup. But it was poured out twice, and the hand holding the tea cup was trembling more obviously.

Bo Ruoyou looked in the bottom of his eyes, and was even more certain that there must be something tricky here.

The attendants who went to search in the back hall soon returned, "Master Hou, there is no abnormality in the back hall for the time being, and no trace of golden ointment has been found, but the last few rooms are locked, and the subordinates have not broken the door."

Huo Weilou looked at the shopkeeper, and he smiled and said, "Master Hou, those rooms are where the tea from the small shop is stored. Because the tea used in the shop is precious, the warehouse must be locked on weekdays. Search, the villain will get the key and open the door."

Huo Wei Building was non-committal. The shopkeeper really went to get the keys. After a short time, he took the attendants to the backyard. Huo Wei Building only served tea cups and tasted tea, calmly and calmly, as if he had just brought a thin drink to drink. Tea.

After half a stick of incense, the attendants walked out with the shopkeeper, and they nodded to Huo Weilou, "Master Hou, it's indeed all tea and things used in the shop."

Bo Ruoyou frowned, but Huo Weilou was not in a hurry. He didn't say much. After a while, an attendant walked out with a small boy in a coarse gray shirt. "Hould Lord, this person said that he did see him seven days ago. Mr. Song, the attendant of the transfer department, came to the store to use tea."

The shopkeeper's complexion changed slightly, "Ah, have you really been here? The villain really can't remember, I thought I was here."

The young man turned pale, and said with a trembling voice: "Mr. Song does come often. The little people must recognize and remember all the distinguished persons. Ms. Song came to ask for a pot of Biluochun tea that day, and... "

He paused and glanced at the shopkeeper hesitantly. At this time, the Houfu attendant scolded him, and he hurriedly said: "He also said that he wanted to see our third master, who is our boss. , Then, he went to call the treasurer He."

At this time, the shopkeeper He couldn't get rid of the relationship completely, and while wiping his sweat, said: "There is indeed such a thing, the villain remembered it, Lord Song wants to see our boss, it happened that our boss was in the store for a few days. So I went to the Accord at the back and asked the owner to come out. The two met and talked very happily, but Master Song seemed to have something to do and left after a short while."

Song Yu did meet people. As for whether they had a good conversation, naturally it would not be that simple. Huo Weilou played with the tea cup in his hand without saying, his face was unpredictable and inexplicably disturbing.

The tea brewed by the shopkeeper is also the top-grade Biluochun. This tea seems to be the signature of their shop. Because the tea soup is green, the tea cup for making the tea is a set of Youzhou white porcelain tea sets. At this moment, the green tea soup is circulating among the white porcelain. Even the fragrance of tea seems to be a bit depressed.

Seeing that Huo Weilou did not speak, the shopkeeper continued: "Master Song has come a lot, and our bosses are all acquaintances. So when we arrive at the store, it is not unusual to say hello to the boss for a while, so the villain remembers it from time to time. not sure."

"Your boss is Wei Shangshu's cousin?"

The shopkeeper's cold sweat was even worse for a while, "Yes, he is of the same clan as Wei Shangshu, and his single name is ‘Quan’, and he is called Wei Sanye."

Huo Weilou nodded and turned to look at Bo Ruoyou. Bo Ruoyou had a thought in his heart. When he saw him, he whispered to him. It was just that there were so many people in the store that what she said was not easy to hear, so she was almost Whisper with Huo Weilou.

She said, "Master Hou, if the seeds of that beautiful woman's smile are really glued here, there must be a lot of relics. I want to go to the backyard to see."

The seeds of the beauty smile are made as medicinal materials, which are precious and precious. Naturally, they will not be scattered everywhere, and they suspect that Song Yu was soaked in the seeds of the beauty smile because of the golden ointment. It will not be in the lobby, and the beauty smile The seeds are so small that there may still be leftovers.

Huo Weilou understood what she meant, and nodded, and got up again to go with her to the backyard. The shopkeeper wanted to follow, but he ordered the shopkeeper to stay in the lobby, and instead ordered the honest servant to follow. Tang.

When I entered the back hall, I saw that the tea shop was really wide. The front is a three-story main building, and there is a continuous courtyard at the back. There are several independent accords. At this moment, the doors of these accords are all open, and the inside is bright and bright, and they have been searched by the attendants once.

Going deeper, after passing a moon gate, the storehouse the attendants said is where the storehouse is located. The house here is a place to store the materials needed in the store. Bo Ruoyou was suspicious, so he searched here. After a while, the inside of the warehouse seemed to have been cleaned again. Although there was cobweb dust on the window lattices, the ground was spotless.

The attendant brought the little servant in. The little servant said: "This warehouse is a heavy place. Only the owner and the shopkeeper can enter on weekdays. The villain doesn't know if there are other things in it. But four or five days ago, this place was indeed I cleaned it once. In previous years, it was only at the end of the year. This year is a bit weird, but there are many mice and cotton worms in the warehouse. Maybe it is for these reasons."

The young man was frightened, not only afraid of Huo Weilou's reprimand, but also afraid of making a false statement, so he was cautious in his words. After listening, Huo Weilou looked at the pile of sack cages inside, knowing that even if there were omissions, they would be cleaned up. NS.

Bo Ruoyou couldn't help asking this young man, "On the day Song Master came, did you really have a good chat with your boss?"

The young man hesitated for a moment and said: "The villain doesn't know if it counts. Master Song came and took a seat in the first floor of the Accord. Then he said to see the owner. I didn't know what to say, and the two went to the backyard. There was no one in the backyard. The villain didn't know what they said, but only after a cup of tea, the villain saw Master Song come out, he didn't smile, but he didn't feel angry."

"Then he feels uncomfortable?" Bo Ruoyou asked again.

The young man tried to think about it for a moment, and his face was a little startled, "The villain can't remember it, I just remember that it was after noon, and there were other guests at the time, the villain hadn't paid attention to it carefully..."

Bo Ruoyou knew that the little servant had said so much, so he would not lie in such a subtle place, so he didn't ask any more. At this time, there were attendants rushing in from outside, "Hou Ye, Wei San Ye. NS!"

They came here less than half an hour, but the third master Wei came quickly, which showed that he was very anxious. Huo Weilou looked at Bo Ruoyou, and Bo Ruoyou hurriedly said: "Hou Master, go, I want to see again. "

Huo Weilou asked the others to stay to protect him, and went to the front yard to see Wei San.

Huo Weilou left, and Bo Ruoyou stood alone in the warehouse for a moment, and then said, "Where is the Accord where your three masters usually stay?"

There are many accomodations in the backyard. Some are prepared for guests and some are prepared for the owner. This little servant is busy leading the way. A group of people left the warehouse and returned along the original road. After a short time to the north of the atrium, the little servant pointed to it. One, "If the owner is here, it is here."

Bo Ruo nodded quietly, and walked in with the attendants. The place had been searched, and when he entered the house, he saw the comfortable and expensive decorations in the house, as well as many paintings, antiques and other objects, and many exquisite tea sets. Here, however, the windows are clear and the autumn is not stained. Bo Ruoyou knows that it is difficult to find direct evidence, and he is a little disappointed.

Thinking that Wei Sanye had arrived, she did not stay too much. When she turned around, she saw two attendants who were in charge of searching other places walking from the west of the backyard with weird faces. Seeing Bo Ruoyou, her footsteps stopped. .

Bo Ruoyou stepped forward and asked, "What's wrong? Did you find anything?"

An attendant said: "I haven't found anything related to the golden ointment, but some undesirable things have been found."

Bo Ruoyou stared, "What is it?"

The attendant hesitated: "I found the bodies of two dead cats in their kitchen backyard."

The corpse of a dead cat? !

Bo Ruo You Shensi suddenly tightened, "Take me to see!"

The two attendants naturally didn't dare to be sloppy, turned around and led the way. Although this place is a teahouse, it also sells cakes. Therefore, there is a special kitchen yard. When Bo Ruoyou entered the courtyard, he saw several cooks. Standing a little uneasy in the yard, seeing more people came, I was even more panicked for a while.

The Houfu servant pointed to the direction of the back cover of the kitchen, "It is the dead cat body found in the corner over there."

Bo Ruoyou stepped towards the direction of the back cover room, a cook who saw that she was a woman, came forward boldly, and said in a panic: "Girl, ladies and gentlemen, these dead cats are all from the dog hole behind. The wild cat that got in there died without knowing what it ate, and has nothing to do with us."

Bo Ruoyou heard it even more strange. When he walked quickly to the back cover room, he saw that there were a few buckets outside the back cover room, and there were other food leftovers piled beside the buckets, because now As the weather got warmer, a sour smell filled the air.

Bo Ruoyou asked, "Ordinarily everything in your kitchen falls here?"

The cook nodded, and Bo Ruoyou's expression became more serious. Ordinary wild cats have very strong vitality. Under normal circumstances, they will not be poisoned and killed by eating raw or cold spoiled food. Either someone kills the cat on purpose or they eat it. What kind of poisonous thing.

Bo Ruoyou walked two steps in, and saw the bodies of two tabby cats lying deep in the corner of the wall. This was a dead corner with some weeds and moss on the ground. It was inconspicuous. The cook saw Zhuang said: "It's weird to say that more than one cat has died here in the past two days. We are very busy on weekdays. We can't collect these buckets. I didn't expect that there will be dead cats today..."

Bo Ruoyou stepped forward and took a closer look at the bodies of the two cats. After frowning, she got up and asked her, "When was the body of the first dead cat?"

The chef looked at the dead cat corpse in the corner with a little disgust, and remembered for a moment with a bitter expression, "It was six days ago."

Bo Ruoyou's pupils shook slightly, and he hurriedly asked, "Except for the kitchen stuff, can the tea in your teahouse be poured here?"

The cook nodded, "Because the cups are to be cleaned here, the leftover tea sent will also be poured together."

When Bo Ruoyou heard this, his expression suddenly became solemn.
