Chapter 511: First Judgment
Shen Hao didn't explain, didn't want to explain, Li Qing could only hold back her curiosity, at most muttering in her heart: Bah! What's the big deal? I don't care to know!
But in the end, he was still curious, and wanted to know why Shen Hao was suddenly interested in this luxurious bottle among Qin Xiuyuan's possessions. What is gum? A kind of food?
Fragrant sugar is indeed a kind of food, but it is not addictive, but fresh breath. Swallow it with wine, and slowly release the aroma from the stomach, making people's breath smell better.
Because it is eaten in the stomach, some precious medicinal materials are used to refine it. It is based on something between ordinary pills and pills. The price is relatively expensive, and it is a luxury and not very useful thing. Ordinary people would spend hundreds of taels of silver for a bottle of more than a dozen pieces of gum? Almost insane.
Shen Hao has never eaten that kind of thing. Most of the people in Xuanqingwei are like him. Their rough voices are not suitable for such delicate things. The most popular among them is killing talents, not whether you smell good or not. Smell, even if your mouth really stinks, no one cares, and they won't kiss you. But he has seen many people use this thing, such as the singer in Hualou.
If the diva had a bad breath or ate something with a smell, and then moved closer to talk, then the picture would probably be beaten to death by the old bustard of Hualou. So divas have the habit of cleaning their breath. Or just pop a piece of vanilla in your mouth, cheap and affordable, just a hassle. If you are not short of money, use sugar.
Not only singers, but I also saw sweets when I went to Liu Hengyi's house, and Liu Hengyi also ate them. It is said that this is a quality of life, and I talked a lot about it.
What Shen Hao understands is "trend" or "fashion".
It seems that Qin Xiuyuan is also an upper-class person who lives a refined life.
Li Qing picked up the bottle that Shen Hao put back, sniffed it, and suddenly said, "It's also the magnolia fragrance you mentioned! That is to say, the reason why the fragrance is in his blood is because he ate the "fragrance" in this bottle. Sugar "Right?"
Shen Hao nodded. He didn't know what the scented sugar was, but it did not prevent him from judging the source of the scent in the blood clot.
Afterwards, Shen Hao carefully checked Qin Xiuyuan's body, and found no special injuries, only some bruises and broken skin on the heels. , Looking at the ground where the corpse was lowered, it should be caused by Qin Xiuyuan kicking on the ground in extreme pain during the suffocation process.
Asphyxiation without injury?
Shen Hao took off the leather gloves, put them away, and then walked around the room again, even opening the windows. The surrounding environment is good, there are ponds on three sides, and there is a sentry post in the distance of the pond. Only the side of the entrance has a stone road. The environment is quiet, but it is not very convenient to get in and out.
Standing up, Shen Hao now had a preliminary impression of Qin Xiuyuan's death in his mind. The first thing to find out now is how the man died.
"Have you found someone to work with?"
"You don't need to look for it. We, Hawkeye, have our own job. We'll be here later."
"Do it here?"
"Of course. How troublesome is it to get it back?"
trouble? Shen Hao didn't know what to say. He didn't say anything at all, but he didn't plan to stay and watch. When the time comes, the result of reading the work is that Hawkeye should not deliberately hide these things.
Wang Yiming came back at this time. He asked an inner guard of the royal family and found three servants who were in charge of the house here.
"Tell me, what did you ask for?"
"My lord. This house is indeed a guest room in Shouwang Mansion, and it is a high-standard guest room. Even if no one stays in it, it will be cleaned every day. Qin Xiuyuan came to stay the night before, and he has not been out during the period. The house, but Qin Xiuyuan's appetite is not very good, he didn't move much when the four meals were delivered, he just drank some millet porridge and some vegetables.
The rest of the meals were said to be a pity because they were hardly touched, and two of them warmed them up for supper at night. "
Shen Hao nodded, and praised: "Good job. Let's go, go to the residence and rest."
This is leaving? Wang Yiming looked at the sky outside, although it was indeed a little late, but he couldn't just make a call and leave, right? I want to ask but I can't ask, so I can only hold back my answer.
Li Qing glanced at her mouth in disdain, and thought to herself: I thought I was really someone who could solve the case, but how long did it take to get ready to rest? Tsk tsk, is this the "evil star" of Xuan Qingwei? It's just a joke.
Shen Hao acted as if he didn't see the emotions in the other party's eyes, and led them out of Shou Wang's mansion.
As soon as Shen Hao left here, Li Qing also left. She went back to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, turned to the door of a public house, knocked on the door and waited for a reply before pushing the door in.
What caught Li Qing's eyes was Xue Gui wearing a black metal mask.
"My lord, this subordinate is back."
"Where is Shen Hao?"
"Responding to my lord, the man surnamed Shen walked around the scene of the crime and left in less than an hour. According to my subordinates, that man is a person who is trying to gain fame, and he came here to benefit from our eagle eyes. It's just for the credit." Li Qing bowed and replied politely, she could see that she had sincere admiration for Xue Gui, but she didn't hide her contempt when she talked about Shen Hao.
"gone?"
Xue Guiben was writing at his desk, and he was a little surprised to hear that Li Qing came back so soon, shouldn't he be with Xuan Qingwei? It was Xuan Qingwei who left directly. Didn't you come to the Ministry of Criminal Justice? What does this help with the investigation?
Putting down the pen in his hand, Xue Gui said suspiciously: "Shen Hao has a great reputation in Xuanqing Guard, especially in the past two years, he can be said to be the most popular figure, with a beautiful resume that is rare in the world, and he is the governor of Jingxi Township. It is absolutely impossible for Jiang Cheng's disciples to be someone who is in high position. Please tell me carefully what he did in Shou Wang's mansion, and don't miss anything."
Although Li Qing didn't take it seriously in her heart, she followed Xue Gui's instructions and recounted Shen Hao's words and deeds in Shou Wang's mansion tonight. Finally, he said: "This man put on a lot of poses, but he left without understanding anything. My lord, do you think highly of the surname Shen?"
Xue Gui was expressionless, and after a long silence, he said: "You are wrong. Shen Hao may have found some clues, but you didn't understand it."
"Ah? My lord, what clues can he find with such a nonsense?"
"He asked people to check the time of Qin Xiuyuan's stay and his eating conditions. This was to be combined with the odorless hut in the house. This is to determine the cause of Qin Xiuyuan's death."
"What does this have to do with Qin Xiuyuan's death?" Li Qing didn't quite understand.
"Qin Xiuyuan didn't have fatal injuries all over his body, but he died of suffocation. There didn't seem to be any traces of the murderer breaking into the house at the scene. Is it possible that Qin Xiuyuan ate something that caused his air to be blocked, and finally suffocated to death?"
