Chapter 1087: Mutual Testing 3

d clerk patted his money pouch and immediately gave Qiqi's destination.Thank you!With a ripple's wave, he clasped his hands and turned to leave for the lofty mountain inn mentioned by the chief clerk....Lian Yi immediately widened her eyes and quickly walked over, pushing Hong Ling'er aside. She giggled and stood beside Wen Shirui before speaking:

"Big Brother Wen, when I went to see the koi today, I suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a way to poison you that you wouldn't detect."

What are your thoughts, Miss Hua

Wen Shirui asked leisurely.

"Here."

Liàn Yī pointed at her own eyes.

"Miss Hua, Miss Liu's eyes have not been damaged in any way. The coroner has examined them."

Wen Shige said.

It wasn't her eyeballs, it was the place where she cried. There was a pinprick-sized hole at the corner of her eye.

Wen Shirui and Wen Shige exchanged a glance, a flash of realization in their eyes. However, they did not say much in front of the two young ladies. Instead, they sent the two back to their residence before hurriedly leaving.

And Hong Ling'er glanced at Lian Ri's back, a dark light flashing in her eyes.

After returning to Zijun Garden, she expressed her desire to eat fish. As a result, lunch was a full-fledged fish feast, which she enjoyed immensely. After digesting her meal in the courtyard, she went for an afternoon nap.

And the other three sons of the Wen family weren't so lucky. They were sent to the ice cellars in Wenjia Fort, and Miss Liu's body was still there.

Wen Shixuan, wearing a face mask and deer leather gloves, carefully pried open Miss Liu's eyelids. Then, in the corner of her left eye, he found the pinhole mentioned by Lian Ri, though it was only the size of a needle, it did exist.

Moreover, after comparison, Wen Shixuan was very certain that the small hole at the corner of his right eye was a circle larger than the hole at the corner of his left eye. It was clearly caused by a hard object being pierced in.

"Big brother, Miss Hua really hit the nail on the head. The murderer used this method to poison her. When Miss Liu was found, she had blood flowing from all seven orifices, so we overlooked that."

Wen Shixuan took off her mask and said.

"Shixuan, test the poison again."

Wen Shirui still wants to confirm this again.

"Great!"

Wen Shixuan took two silver needles, inserting them separately into both corners of his eyes. After a moment's pause, she withdrew them.

The two silver needles were blackened to different degrees. The one inserted into the corner of the right eye quickly turned black, and the blackness was spreading upward. Although the other needle also turned black, it did not spread, only the part that was inserted turned black.

"The corner of his right eye is where the poison was applied."

Wen Shixuan said definitively.

"Let's talk after we leave here."

When the three brothers returned to Cuizhu Courtyard, Wen Shirui and Wen Shige's faces were somewhat gloomy.

Wen Shixuan looked at the expressions of the two people and asked,

"Big brother, second brother, didn't you guys notice anything Is it that Hu Lianri who made the move"

"Able to strike from such a concealed location without alerting the maids guarding outside, who do you think could have done this"

"If it wasn't someone from the Wen family, then it must have been one of the young ladies who entered Wenjia Fort with Miss Liu."

Wen Shixuan thought for a moment and then said.

I've already screened the people in the outer courtyard of Wen's Manor, and no one had the opportunity to do it.

Then Wen Shige replied.

"That must be those young ladies! So that's why Big Brother let the three who understand pharmacology into the inner courtyard."

Wen Shixuan suddenly realized.

"Now Hu Lianyi has exposed the way they poisoned, not sure if it's to shift attention or to clear their own suspicion."

Wen Shi-ge said lightly.

"Perhaps she's the one who is actually a thief, crying wolf."

Wen Shixuan immediately said.

"Possibility is not absent."

"Thus, it seems that Hong Ling'er is the most innocent."

"No, she lives right next door to Miss Liu. She could return to her own place after poisoning Miss Liu without alerting anyone."

Wen Shi-ge helped his younger brother understand.

"Song Jia's recipe is also a way to whitewash herself, and I'm sure this medicine won't work on her."

Wen Shixuan frowned and said.

They're really willing to spend money, with Purple Mist Flowers and True Word Soup. I wonder what Hong Ling'er will come up with.

Wen Shige smirked and said.

After returning to Xianyun Garden, Hong Linger set up a game of incomplete chess for herself, pretending to ponder how to solve it. But secretly, she was cursing Lianyi, feeling that the other party was intentionally trying to trap her. She exposed Lianyi and she would be safe.

"Hmph! If you want me to be a stepping stone, you better ask me nicely!"

Hong Ling'er crushed the chess piece in her hand and narrowed her eyes.

Miss Liu was indeed killed by her. That night, she went to look for Lianyi, and when she came back, she happened to be seen by Miss Liu. Moreover, the other party recognized her. In order to eliminate future troubles, she condensed an ice needle and stabbed it into Miss Liu's tear duct, then quietly returned to her residence.

She didn't expect her scheme to be seen through by Hua Lianyi, so she wasn't going to wait any longer.

At the very beginning of the day, when Lian Yi was absorbing spiritual essence to elevate her cultivation, she suddenly sensed a shift in the formation's activity. Immediately, she realized she was trapped within Ziyun Garden.

Liàn Yī was careful not to release her divine sense. She simply stood with her ears perked, listening for a while. Hearing nothing, she pretended not to know anything and continued to close her eyes, absorbing spiritual energy. Give her some more time, and she would be able to ascend to the Golden Core stage.

The next day, after the ripples had breakfast served by the maids, she asked to see Wen Shirui, but was stopped at the gate by the guards.

"Miss Hua, thieves have broken into the fort. For your safety, please stay in Ziyun Garden temporarily and do not go out."

The black-armored guardsman said politely.

"Did someone break in"

Her lips, the color of ripples, parted slightly before she realized her lapse. She quickly covered her mouth with a handkerchief and then asked:

"Has the thief been caught But did he hurt anyone Will he break into my yard I should have someone check it out."

The ripples' triple question made the guard's lips twitch. Just as he was about to reply, a majestic female voice boomed:

Miss Hua is right. If you don't mind, Miss, I will have the head housekeeper investigate this matter.

The ripples drew her attention to Warm Sakura, whom she hadn't seen in ages.

"Alright, you arrange for someone to check! But don't mess with my things."

Ripples immediately waved his hand, seeming rather impatient.

Wen Ying bowed to the ripples and then waved her hand, allowing the people behind her to enter Ziyun Garden.

Then, Ripples walked up to Sakura and asked with a frown:

"Is the young master Wen doing well"

"Thank you, Miss Hua, for your concern. The young master is doing well."

"Were the criminals caught"

Almost there.

"That means they weren't caught. What kind of thief could get into Weng Jia Bao"

Ripple asked curiously. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

This time, Wen Ying did not answer, but looked at a female steward who walked out from Ziyun Courtyard. The other party held a box in her hand.

"This is a heat pad, found in Miss Hua's room."

Rian ripples glanced at it and said:

"This is the box where I keep my handkerchief and purse. Is there a problem"

"Miss Hua, please follow me for a moment. Someone will be there to explain everything to you."

"Okay."

Ripple readily agreed, following Wen Ying through several courtyards. As they ventured deeper, the guards grew more numerous, and Ripple sensed that each one possessed a degree of cultivation.

The last person entered the innermost courtyard of Wujia Fort.eir existing food into dried rations. On the road, they might not have the opportunity to stop and cook, and it was also to avoid the smell of food attracting more refugees.After five days of preparat...
