The Alley
Qiao 'er shrunk her shoulders after she finished.
She quickly added, "Everyone said that the cat accidentally ate rat poison and was killed by a dog. Teacher Ji, please take good care of that cat of yours. Don't take it out, lest it accidentally ingest rat poison. That would be bad. "
Cat!
Cat again!
Qiao Zihua was afraid of cats!
The ladies of Zhichun House loved cats!
That cripple hated cats!
There was a cat in the room when Ye 'er died.
Cats were dying in the county again.
Ah!
She looked up abruptly, took out the case file Zuo Yao gave her, and read it again.
She flipped to the part where Ye 'er died. It was clearly recorded that she was foaming at the mouth, bleeding from her nostrils, and her lungs were swollen. She had been poisoned by rudan poison.
But —
Other than the symptoms of rudan poison, there was another …
Rat poison!
"Teacher, what's wrong? Do you know who the murderer is? "Shi Zijin asked anxiously.
She narrowed her eyes and said, "Let's wait a little longer!"
Wait?
Do we have to wait to investigate?
Shi Zijin didn't quite understand what she meant.
Two days later.
Ji Yunshu took out the bag of pebbles soaked in soy sauce and sent away all the maids in the room, leaving Shi Zijin alone.
She wrapped the pebbles in white gauze and gently rubbed them on Ye 'er's skeleton.
After about the time it took to burn a stick of incense, a few very obvious black marks appeared on the originally dark gray wrist and cheekbones.
However, the black marks were slender and didn't look like they were caused by a human hand.
It looked like the marks were caused by a skeletal hand pressing on Ye 'er's wrist and cheekbones.
Slender and long.
Finally —
All the doubts in her heart dissipated!
The open window!
The fallen screen!
The cup by the bed!
A dead cat!
Her lips curled up slightly, "So, there weren't only Ye 'er, Qiao Zihua, and the three who escaped through the window. There was a fourth person who entered the room."
A fourth person?
She instructed Shi Zijin, "Now, do as I say. We … solve the case."
…
Zhichun Court!
Liang Da, who was in the kitchen, had just put down the things in his hands and was about to take a break.
The chef walked over and gave him a shove. With a nasty attitude, he ordered, "Liang Da, hurry up and get a basket of meat from Pork Rong. There's no more meat in the kitchen. Hurry up and come back."
He didn't say anything and just nodded.
Then, he found a small wicker basket and carried it on his back before leaving the backyard.
He limped to the main street and found Pork Rong's stall.
"Get the meat!" His words were concise and comprehensive.
Pork Rong was bare-chested, revealing his hard muscles. He was holding a sharp knife and chopping meat. He was cutting meat for the customer accurately and powerfully. He didn't even hear what he said.
After the two people in front of the stall had left, Pork Rong looked at him and asked, "What do you want?"
He said softly, "Zhichun Building, get the meat."
"What?" Pork Rong's voice was very loud.
Can't hear!
Louder!
Liang Da's eyes, which were originally hidden under his hair, suddenly looked up. His eye sockets were so black that the whites of his eyes couldn't be seen. It looked like a pool of black blood. It was extremely terrifying and sent chills down one's spine.
Pork Rong's hand that was holding the knife suddenly trembled!
He was obviously frightened as well.
"It's … it's from Zhichun Court?"
Liang Da nodded and lowered his head again. That pair of terrifying eyes was hidden under his hair once more.
Pork Rong swallowed his saliva and hurriedly took out the basket of fresh pork that Zhichun Building had ordered.
Liang Da carried the basket of meat and left.
But he only used one hand. The right hand that had been burned by the fire hung by his side, unmoving.
Pork Rong still felt some lingering fear behind his back.
It wasn't until someone came to buy meat that he finally calmed down.
On the way back to Zhichun Building, there were people coming and going. Liang Da walked with his head lowered.
Carelessly —
He bumped into someone.
He staggered and even the basket of meat in his hand fell to the ground.
A girl's shrill and thin voice provoked him.
"Don't you have eyes? Damned cripple, you've dirtied my clothes. Can you afford to pay for it? "
He ignored her and squatted down to pick up the scattered meat into the basket.
When the girl saw that he actually ignored her, she was so angry that her face turned red. She tugged at the corner of her dirty clothes. "Didn't you hear what I said? What a lowly person. "
Just as she finished speaking —
"Meow ~"
The cat's voice suddenly rang out.
Liang Da's hand that was picking up the meat stopped. He slowly raised his head and looked at the furious girl standing in front of him. His gaze slowly moved to the pure white cat in her hand.
His face instantly became extremely ferocious.
When the girl saw that burned and wrinkled face, she jumped in fright.
Her face turned pale!
She loosened her grip and the kitten in her arms also scurried away in fright, disappearing in a puff of smoke.
Liang Da lowered his head again and continued to pick up the meat.
The girl was no longer overbearing. That face just now had scared her soul out of her body. She quickly lifted the hem of her skirt and left.
When he finished picking up the things on the ground, Liang Da carried the basket and headed in the direction of Zhichun Building.
However —
Half a stick of incense later!
At this time, the sky suddenly began to drizzle. In a very remote alley, the sound of heavy and light footsteps could be heard.
It echoed in this narrow space like the sound of death!
A thin figure limped toward the end of the alley. He was wearing a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat on his head.
In his hand, he carried a white cat that was wriggling wildly!
Finally, he stopped at the corner of the wall.
Liang Da used a rope to tie the cat's limbs together and threw it heavily on the ground.
Bang!
"Meow ~"
The cat's round and bright eyes stared fearfully at the ferocious face of the person in front of it.
"Don't be afraid. It'll be quick."
"Meow ~"
The white cat wanted to escape, but its limbs were tied up.
Liang Da took out a bag of something and stuffed it into the cat's mouth.
Then, the right hand that had always been hidden in the sleeve stretched out. However, it was … a fake hand.
A prosthetic hand made of steel!
In place of the five fingers, there were thin and sharp steel bars that had been polished.
It was like Zhu Bajie's nine-toothed rake!
He first used his normal left hand to choke the cat's neck. Then, he stretched out the fake hand and stabbed the sharp steel bars into the cat's stomach.
He wanted to peel it alive!
In the next moment, Shi Zijin suddenly jumped down from above and kicked Liang Da's head hard.
He flipped backwards, the cat in his hand loosened, and his whole body fell heavily to the ground.
The bamboo hat on his head also fell off.
His face was exposed.
Shi Zijin raised her foot and ruthlessly stomped on his chest. "You crazy dog!"
The rain fell and hit his hideous and terrifying face.
Ji Yunshu walked into the alley with an umbrella in hand. Her robes were drenched by the drizzle.
She walked in front of Liang Da, her eyes filled with disgust.
"Why?" she asked.
Liang Da, who was lying on the ground, suddenly understood. He laughed and spoke in a low voice.
