Chapter 122, ask everyone
The long dark night passed quickly, and the next morning came in the blink of an eye. Wan Yanxiu, who was still sleeping in bed, was woken up by the words "Someone is dead." He immediately put on his clothes and went out to check the situation.
In the corridor where the two of them could pass, Wan Yanxiu saw the female tour guide in the driver's arms comforting her. He felt something was wrong and walked over immediately. He said hello to the two of them and walked in.
Inside he saw Jin Xiaoxiao lying on the white bed with her eyes closed, her face pale and ugly.
Mu Mujian stood leaning against the wall, holding an unsmoked cigarette in his hand. Next to him was the serious-looking hotel owner, and two doctors, Su Lie and Shen Jiahui, were sitting on both sides of the bed.
Wan Yanxiu did not ask anyone else but asked Su Lie and Shen Jiahui. Only then did he know the cause of the matter. The cause of Jin Xiaoxiao's death was a heart disease inherited in the family.
But he felt that this matter was too strange. He was fine yesterday, but fell to the ground one night. It was difficult not to make people suspicious.
The hotel owner came to tell everyone again: the road going down the mountain is still under construction, and the maintenance police will not come until after 10 o'clock.
As soon as the female tour guide heard this, she made a fuss and wanted to leave, for fear that she would be the next person to die.
However, Memu Ken told her: Everyone present is a suspicious person, and no one can leave. If they evacuate, the security police will arrest them according to law.
Only then did she give up. The driver on the side comforted her a few words, and her mood became better.
Finally, when they saw that it was time for breakfast again, they evacuated the room and asked the boss to lock the door so that the scene could not be damaged.
Su Lie and the hotel owner went to the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone. It was ready in just a few minutes. Su Lie came out and asked everyone to eat.
As soon as everyone heard this, they put down their work and went to the living room. They found that the table there was full of rich and nutritious breakfast. Of course, there was also a grilled fish dinner carefully prepared by Su Lie for everyone. As soon as everyone saw it, they started eating with their bowls and chopsticks.
Got up.
"Doctor, your family has passed away, but you still have the mood to cook a big meal for us. Thank you for your hard work." Memu Ken, who was pulling eggs aside, spoke.
"It's okay. After all, people are like iron rice. If you don't go hungry for a meal, how can you think about the next thing?" Su Lie looked at him and said.
"That's right, let's eat first." Memuki nodded and said.
"Young man, why don't you try my grilled fish dinner? I didn't see you take a few bites last night. You must try it today. After all, you can't eat it after this morning." Su Lie looked at Wanyan Xiu without moving.
I asked curiously as I finished the grilled fish dinner I made.
"Me! I don't want to eat something too greasy in the morning because it will make me feel nauseated. I'd better drink some Guanyin tea and eat something light." Wan Yanxiu said as he shook the soup.
"It's not greasy. I put three kinds of herbs in it. It tastes great and it's not fishy at all." When Su Lie heard that he didn't do it well enough, he explained to him.
"Thank you! Mr. Su's kindness. The key point is that I really can't eat it. My mother often talks about my bad habits." Wan Yanxiu said apologetically.
"Don't eat it! You may not be able to eat it in the future, young man." Shen Jiahui took a bite and put it in his mouth.
After everyone had eaten and drank, everyone did not get up and leave. They were playing with their mobile phones there, either scrolling through Douyin short videos or reading the complete collection of the new novel "The Peerless Yalang: The Road to Killing Demons" by Xia Zhe Zhe. In fact, everyone was waiting for Yamashita
The latest news is coming.
Wan Yanxiu stood up and went into the kitchen, and came out after a while with a plate of green medicinal materials in his hand.
After everyone saw it, they were very puzzled as to what he meant, but Su Lie's heart skipped a beat.
"Young man, why did you take it out? Isn't it the ingredient I use to make fish? Do you want to prove something to everyone? You don't want to tell us your reasoning again! The key points are not established." Su Lie looked at it.
After looking at the things he took out, he pretended not to understand and asked.
"Guess." Wan Yanxiu replied directly to him.
"God knows, what are you going to say?" Su Lie said, picking up the cigarette case with peonies on it from his pocket, taking one out, putting it in his mouth and lighting it.
"Everyone must not understand why I went to the kitchen to get these three things for no reason. I should know these three ingredients!" Wan Yanxiu looked at everyone and said.
"Of course, let me introduce it to you one by one! This black branch with no leaves is the legendary ten-mile incense, which is also a condiment in Southeast Asia.
The yellow one next to it is the same as a kumquat, it’s lemongrass which is also a commonly used ingredient, but grows in the Siberian Sea area.”
Shen Jiahui explained the ingredients on the table in one breath. After all, he often cooks at home.
"Wait a minute, you left something unmentioned." Wan Yanxiu said, taking out another leaf from there and showing it to everyone.
"This is... sorry! I forgot." Shen Jiahui said apologetically.
"Then let me ask all the food experts here, does anyone know the name of this last ingredient?" Wan Yanxiu looked at everyone and said.
Everyone immediately took it over and examined it carefully. Only Su Lie did not move a step, but his fists placed under the table were clenched so tightly that veins popped out.
"It seems that no one knows this, so let me introduce it to you. The name of this grass is red-backed bamboo grass." Wan Yanxiu found that no one answered, so he knew that they didn't know it, so he explained.
"What's the result? You still say it's poisonous." the female tour guide asked.
"Of course this is not poisonous. It is an ordinary grass, but it saved our lives last night, but it is an indispensable part of the murder plan." Wan Yanxiu said holding one end of it.
The branches at that end are lush and leafy, and there is some soil at the bottom, but it does not hinder its beauty.
"Ah! What is going on?" the female tour guide asked in confusion.
"First of all, I'm telling you that another ingredient is poisonous wood, which can be said to be the most poisonous plant in nature. Moreover, once the milky white sap in it passes through the wound, it will cause heart paralysis and death of the poisoned person.
And it also has a well-known name: see the blood and seal the throat.
It was definitely the King of Hell who caused him to die at the fifth watch, and he will definitely not live past the sixth watch." Wan Yanxiu took a sip of water and continued.
"Then what does this thing you're talking about have to do with our case?" the driver with a Chinese character sitting next to the tour guide asked, he was also curious.
"Of course it does matter. Oral administration of the poisonous wood sap can lead to death if too much is taken." Wan Yanxiu replied.
"I would like to ask Mr. Shen a question, whether heart disease, paralysis and heart disease can be classified into the same disease." Wan Yanxiu said to Shen Jiahui, who was sitting next to Su Lie.
"This is of course, and this problem has been proven medically." Shen Jiahui nodded in response.
"Then what you mean is that Jin Xiaoxiao died after swallowing this," the female tour guide said.
"According to what you said, the murderer is still among us after Liu Shiqing's death. The key is that we are all very careful about how he killed Jin Xiaoxiao. Even so, we should be able to tell who did it."
The driver said in confusion.
"Like us, she would not give the murderer a chance, and the murderer had no choice but to put poison in the food we took for meals." Wan Yanxiu explained.
"This... is impossible, then why are we okay?" The hotel owner asked even more puzzled after hearing this.
