MTL - Thrown Into the Wolf’s Den! Zaizai Holds Space In His Hands To Survive the Disaster Year-Chapter 507 Mrs. Qi died of poisoning
Mrs. Qi was in a state of confusion. After hearing this, she immediately nodded and cried: "Your Highness, you are such a good person, so I'll trouble you."
At this moment, Mr. Qi in the room heard an angry shout: "This is our family matter, how can we let outsiders investigate thoroughly!"
After saying this, Mr. Qi came out of the house with a gloomy expression and tears still on his face.
Due to Shen Ningning's identity, he had to slow down his tone.
“Your Highness Princess, thank you sir, thank you for lending a helping hand, but when we encounter this kind of thing, we still want to deal with it ourselves behind closed doors.”
He stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation: "I won't bother you. I will finish the matter tomorrow and I will hold a banquet for you two to express my apology."
Shen Ningning felt that Mr. Qi's reaction was strange.
his mother was suspected of being poisoned and died, and someone was willing to help with a thorough investigation. Why did he rush to drive them away instead?
Xie Mingan half-protected Shen Ningning behind him, his voice was quiet.
“Master Qi, don’t rush us away yet. If I remember correctly, when your sister Concubine Qi was still alive, she asked for a royal title for Mrs. Qi. Do I remember correctly?”
Mr. Qi's expression changed for a moment, and he gritted his teeth.
What Xie Mingan said is right.
Mrs. Qi used her daughter to gain power and glory, and it was she who forced Concubine Qi to seek a royal title for her.
Seeing Mr. Qi's reaction, Xie Mingan smiled, and then his expression suddenly turned serious.
"A wife of Imperial Order was poisoned and died. Even if she died in your home, it is not a trivial matter. If the matter is reported to the court, the emperor will arrange for someone to come and conduct a thorough investigation."
He put his hands behind his back, full of momentum and calmness: "Mr. Qi, you can choose for yourself. Should I go to Datian to listen and ask the emperor to send someone else to investigate thoroughly, or let me go in and investigate thoroughly today."
Mr. Qi's face was livid, his eyes were changing, and he didn't know what he was hesitating about.
Finally, he relented: "Okay, thank you, sir, so I'm sorry to bother you."
Shen Ningning felt even more strange.
Master Qi, why does he seem to be afraid of others coming to investigate?
She followed Xie Mingan into Mrs. Qi's room.
Qi Xiuwei was still kneeling beside the bed, crying secretly.
She lost a little weight and became haggard, and now her porcelain-white cheeks were covered with tears.
Qi Xiuwei looked up and saw Shen Ningning coming, her eyes dodge for a moment.
"Ning Ning..." she said while wiping away tears.
Shen Ningning comforted her: "Xiaowei, my second brother is very good at investigating cases and will never let your grandmother die in vain."
Hearing the words "my second brother", Xie Mingan raised his eyebrows with some joy.
This is decent.
Qi Xiuwei lowered her head, stood up silently, and gave the position around the bed to Xie Ming'an.
Xie Mingan took out the fish intestine gloves he carried with him from his pocket, specially used to protect his palms.
This was the first time Shen Ningning saw him wearing this thing.
Even though these gloves are called fish intestines, they don’t smell fishy at all. When worn on the hand, it feels like they are integrated with the hand and fit very well.
I heard that to make a pair of fish intestine gloves, you need to use the intestines of a large fish weighing more than 20 kilograms, wash them repeatedly, and then soak them in pepper water.
After three days of exposure to the scorching sun, you will get a pair of gloves as thin as cicada wings.
There are only three officers in the entire Cangyun Kingdom, and they are all in the hands of her second brother.
“Brother Stinky, why do you bring your gloves wherever you go?” Shen Ningning muttered.
Xie Ming'an put it on with a smile and said: "Just in case of emergency, you see, the problem will come soon. You go sit next to have a rest and watch the second brother prove your ability to you."
Shen Ningning seemed a little worried when she saw Qi Xiuwei standing by.
She took Qi Xiuwei with her and sat down to wait.
“Xiaowei, here you go.” Shen Ningning took out the handkerchief and asked her to wipe her tears.
Qi Xiuwei was unusually silent for some reason. Those tearful eyes drooped slightly, not daring to look at Shen Ningning.
Xie Mingan has already begun to examine the body.
Just as the housekeeper said, Mrs. Qi's ears were bleeding, dark brown, and her lips were black, which was a sign of poisoning.
Xie Mingan turned over the body and checked the position of the back, neck, and limbs.
After a simple investigation, his expression became solemn.
Master Qi walked in and said anxiously: "Sir, Mr. Xie, my mother had a very strong sense of self-esteem during her lifetime, and her posthumous affairs cannot be so careless. If you want to conduct an autopsy, I'm afraid it would be too disgraceful. I cannot agree to it."
Unexpectedly, Xie Mingan had already taken off his fish intestine gloves and soaked them in a copper basin inside the house.
He said calmly: "There is no need to dissect the body, it is very simple to die from poisoning, and it is an acute poison - lily of the valley frost. This thing is easy to get, you only need to plant lily of the valley flowers and crush the flower stems to get it."
“I just took a look, and there are a lot of flowers planted in the inner courtyard of your mansion.”
Mrs. Qi was startled: "Is it true that someone in the mansion wants to kill the old lady?"
Xie Mingan glanced at everyone in the room.
"It's normal to hurt her. Who told her not to do anything before?" He learned these four words from his sister Shen Ningning.
It is said that there is an explanation of this word in the dictionary left by their mother in deep contemplation.
Mrs. Qi had done all kinds of bad things, and dying from poison was simply an advantage for her.
Master Qi frowned: "How do you know it will be Lily of the Valley and not something else?"
Xie Mingan pointed to the blood stains on Mrs. Qi’s body.
"The poison of Lily of the Valley Frost is different from other poisons. It directly destroys the brain of the human body, causing the blood flow to reverse, rush to the top of the sky and then collapse. This is why the black blood first came from Mrs. Qi's body. Out of the ear holes.”
"But I think there is something strange. There are sequelae of long-term consumption of lily of the valley cream on the body." He pointed at the fingers of Mrs. Qi's hands, and the fingernails were all blue.
This is a symptom of chronic poisoning.
Shen Ningning was surprised: "The person who poisoned him did it twice?"
Mrs. Qi cried: "Who is so cruel that he insists on taking the old lady's life?"
Xie Mingan analyzed calmly with cold eyes: "I think that the first time the poisoner started, he didn't want Mrs. Qi's life, but wanted to keep her sick and unable to get up."
"She must have wanted to get something from it, otherwise she would not have changed her plan easily. As for why she added too much poison this time and killed Mrs. Qi directly, was it because she accidentally put it in the wrong place due to shaking hands?"
When he said this, his cold black eyes scanned everyone present.
Finally, his eyes fell on Qi Xiuwei.
Shen Ningning felt Qi Xiuwei trembling, so she comforted her softly.
“Don’t be afraid, Xiaowei, my second brother will definitely find the real culprit.”
Master Qi frowned: "What should we do? This lily of the valley is planted in the inner courtyard, and everyone in our mansion can access it. Could it be that Master Xie wants to arrest us all?"
Xie Mingan smiled, a bit as sinister as a fox.
"There is no need to bother. If anyone who has touched Lily of the Valley Frost has a wound on her body, she will not be able to recover, because the poison contained in Lily of the Valley Frost itself will make it difficult for everyone who has touched it. "
As he spoke, he asked Qi Xiuwei: "Miss Qi, the wound on your tiger's mouth must have been for a long time, right?"
Qi Xiuwei opened her eyes wide and suddenly covered her palms.
Shen Ningning looked at her reaction in astonishment.
“Xiaowei…you…”
Mrs. Qi also shouted in shock: "Weier, you killed the old lady?!"
Qi Xiuwei finally collapsed at this moment.
She didn't even make excuses, she cried and screamed: "She deserves it! Who made her bully me and bully my mother all the time! People like her should never get up, but... But I don't know why she died , I was obviously very careful and didn’t put too much..." (End of Chapter)
