Chapter 262 Suspicion
Zuixiang is a spice developed by Duanmukui using several kinds of herbs according to ancient recipes. It has the effect of calming the nerves and analgesic.
If you mix a little sweat medicine into it, it will be the best medicine to induce people to fall asleep.
On the carriage yesterday, Lu Chengjing wore this scent in his sachet.
He gave Lu Chengyuan a nightmare, a nightmare that he had inflicted on those innocent children.
While Lu Chengyuan was frightened and half asleep, Lu Chengjing followed the method he learned from the stranger and gave Lu Chengyuan a hint to get up in the middle of the night and hang himself.
Hang yourself? If you kick the stool, as long as no one comes to rescue you, the hanging rope keeps hanging, and the beams don’t collapse, there is basically no chance of death.
The guard slept downstairs and was far away from Lu Chengyuan's house. How could he hear any noise?
Looking at it the next day, could Lu Chengyuan hang himself from the beam?
As for whether the work will detect any abnormalities, Lu Chengjing thinks it may be minimal.
The intoxicating fragrance is not a harmful fragrance, and the amount of the sweat medicine is also very light and will not cause discomfort to the human body.
As long as Wu Zuo does not know the existence of Zuixiang and this secret method, the conclusion drawn from the corpse can only be suicide.
Under his suggestion, Duanmukui has improved the intoxicating fragrance, not only changing the formula but also the aroma. Even with the addition of Mongolian sweat medicine, it no longer has the effect of inducing people to fall asleep.
But Duanmukui was busy packing his bottles and jars to go to Beijing with Shang Wan, and had no time to run out to help with the autopsy.
A year ago, Lu Chengjing might have been worried that the Wang family would send someone to investigate. After all, he had contact with Lu Chengyuan yesterday and there was suspicion on him.
Now...there's nothing to worry about.
Thinking of this, Lu Chengjing lowered his head and placed a kiss on Shang Wan's temple, "Madam, don't you praise me?"
Shang Wan: "Why do you praise you? You are so sophisticated?"
To be honest, the tricks of our own fox are hard to guard against.
Of course, Shang Wan herself is not worried. After all, the drugs in this world are basically ineffective against her.
As for psychological suggestion, haha, she is not even afraid of mental powers. What kind of psychological suggestion can be more powerful than the control of supernatural powers?
But, no matter how bad Lu Chengyuan is, he is still Lu Chengjing’s blood brother. She had this in mind when she wanted to take action for Lu Chengjing before.
But now Lu Chengjing has taken action himself. Will this person have some obstacles in his heart?
Thinking of this, Shang Wan stretched out his hand to poke Lu Chengjing's heart, "Does it hurt?"
Lu Chengjing was startled, the emotions in his eyes changed, and he reached out to hug the person in front of him into his arms.
Shang Wan didn't say anything and just let him hold her quietly.
The only sound left in the room was the sound of shallow breathing and the sound of their heartbeats.
I don’t know how long it took, but a muffled voice sounded in Shang Wan’s ears: “With you here, it won’t be uncomfortable.”
“Well, I’ll stay with you.” Shang Wanhuan landed Chengjing's hands on her waist tightened, and the fox at this moment made her feel a little distressed.
Lu Chengjing buried his head in the crook of the neck of the person in his arms and nuzzled it, smelling the faint fragrance. Lu Chengjing whispered: "If I betray you in the future, you will kill me with one knife."
< br>
Shang Wan: "Thank you for reminding me. You don't need to tell me that I can do it."
She wouldn't feel bad if the fox belonged to someone else. The thing that happens when a knife rises and falls is very fast.
Lu Chengjing: "Oh."
Shang Wan looked up at him with a teasing look in his eyes, "Are you angry?"
"How could I be angry with my wife?" Lu Chengjing Shake his head.
Shang Wan put his hand against his forehead and pushed it out, "We haven't finished settling the accounts yet, it's time to go out."
Lu Chengjing buried his head back, tightened his arms, and said in a coquettish tone, "Hold him for a while longer. "What about the accounts?" Shang Wan didn't want to work overtime.
Lu Chengjing: "I'll do it."
Shang Wan bent his eyes. If he didn't have to work, it wouldn't be wrong to hold him for a while longer.
......
......
After waking up from his nap, Shang Wan was sitting on the bed waking up when he suddenly heard a noise coming from the front.
She yawned and listened carefully with her ears raised.
The person who came was an official who wanted to take Lu Chengjing to the county government for questioning.
Has this been traced to Lu Chengjing?
Shang Wan got up, put on his clothes and walked forward quickly.
"What did my brother-in-law do?" Xiaohuan stopped in front of Lu Chengjing and glared at the official in front of him with raised eyebrows.
"It's just a routine question. Lu Jieyuan had contact with the deceased yesterday. His guards suspected that the hanging of the deceased was related to Lu Jieyuan. It is related to human life. Please don't stop me."
Known by the official. Xiao Huan had a very kind attitude and explained clearly the cause and effect.
"Then why did the guard suspect my brother-in-law?" Xiaohuan refused to listen and had no intention of getting out of the way. "Why did he say that you would take on anyone you suspect? Are you doing errands for him or for the Lord?"
The official waved his hand: "There is a misunderstanding, not an arrest. Your Majesty has given the order, just ask Lu Jieyuan to go back and ask questions, and I will send him back later."
Xiaohuan looked at her brother-in-law, really Want to leave with the official?
Lu Chengjing gave her a reassuring smile and was about to leave with the official when Shang Wan opened the curtain and walked out.
Some people watching the excitement shouted: "Shopkeeper Shang is out."
The guys got out of the way. Shang Wan walked over and stood next to Lu Chengjing. He looked at the official and said, "I can go with you, but I have to make my words clear first. My husband-in-law just went to reply and was not taken away as a suspect."< br>
The reputation of a scholar is so important. Lu Chengjing has just come into the limelight. I'm sure someone will take the opportunity to spread rumors and throw dirty water on Lu Chengjing.
The officers were very polite to Xiao Huan, and they were naturally even more polite to Shang Wan. They repeatedly promised that they were just asking questions and had nothing to do with whether they were suspects or not.
In his opinion, Lu Chengjing could not be the murderer.
We have conducted an autopsy and found that the deceased had not taken hallucinogenic drugs or poisons before his death, and there were no new injuries on his body. He indeed hanged himself to death.
As for whether someone would help Lu Chengyuan hang himself while he was asleep, the doors and windows in the room were closed tightly, and there were no signs of outsiders sneaking in. In addition, the night guard at the inn did not see anyone suspicious, so the possibility of homicide can be basically ruled out.
The guard insisted that it was Lu Chengjing's hand. The official thought that the guard could not accept the deceased and died like this, so he had to find a murderer. Lu Chengjing was just unlucky enough to be targeted by the guard.
They have checked it out. Lu Jieyuan stayed at home last night, so he can't kill someone from the air, right?
"Don't worry, I'll be right back." Lu Chengjing whispered to Shang Wan and left with official duties.
Mrs. Lou came over and looked at Shang Wan with concern, "It's just a question. Our county magistrate is a reasonable man and nothing will happen to him. You are still pregnant, so don't think too much about it."
"I know." Shang Wan curled his lips and smiled slightly.
At this moment, this smile fell in Mrs. Lou’s eyes, and it felt like a forced smile.
She felt a little uncomfortable. Why did the government suspect Lu Chengjing?
She specifically told Xiaohuan: "Look at your sister, talk to her, and don't leave her alone. If you need anything, send someone over and call me. I'll be here right away."
Xiaohuan thanked her and watched Mrs. Lou go out.
She looked back at Shang Wan, "Sister, will something happen to my brother-in-law?"
