The original wife who died young and dressed as the villain regent

Shen Chen's thoughts coincided with Lin Xi's.

Lin Xi looked around the room and said: "When I first came in, I also thought about this problem. Because I have smelled that strange fragrance when I passed by this room several times before, but it was not found in the homes of Wu Zuo and the two officials. If it is true, If there is any difference, then it is only this kind of fragrance."

"To be precise, everything in the world can be used to make poison, including spices, but they are rarely used."

Shen Chen asked again: "Madam, when you did the autopsy at the Yamen, did you smell the strange fragrance on the deceased?"

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, and his face instantly became solemn: "No!"

Shen Chen said: "We could smell the fragrance when we passed by outside last night, which means the smell is stronger inside. Yue Qin has lived here for a few days, so it's impossible not to get it on her body."

"Moreover, the fact that there is no trace of it on the deceased means that the deceased did not stay in this room for long! At least before evening, the deceased cannot be there, otherwise the smell will be on his body!" Lin Xi added.

Shen Chen hummed in agreement and looked around after entering.

Lin Xi also watched, focusing on finding the spices in the house.

The spices were not found, but Lin Xi found two boxes of rouge on the dressing table.

She opened it and smelled it. One of the boxes was strange and seemed to have several different flavors.

Thinking of this, Lin Xi simply dipped some of it on his fingertips. Just as he was about to apply it on the back of his hand, Shen Chen caught his hand when he saw it.

Lin Xi looked at him: "What's wrong?"

Shen Chen said: "Put it on my hand. Yue Qin went out to buy rouge yesterday. It must have been for an unusual purpose. She also bought a box of unused rouge from the rouge shop, which is even more strange. There are two boxes here. You and I don't know where they are. She bought the box. If she bought it to confuse her, the other box might be inappropriate."

"You mean it might be poisonous?" Lin Xi broke away from his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm a doctor, no poison can harm me."

After that, she applied it on the back of her hand and spread it.

Looking again at this time, Lin Xi smelled something wrong.

She took a sniff and said, "Shen Chen, there's something wrong with this rouge. Ordinary rouge rarely has a smell because it's bad for women's skin. But after this rouge is diluted, not only does it smell pungent, but it also smells a bit like... what we smelled before It smells amazing!”

Shen Chen immediately took Lin Xi's hand and smelled it, "Indeed. Although the smell mixed with it is very light, you can smell it."

Lin Xi hissed, "I only applied a small amount, but it has such a strong smell. This box of rouge is quite a lot. If I used more, wouldn't it be used in half the house? And I saw that less than half of the rouge has been used. "

After a pause, Lin Xi remembered: "There are indeed traces of powder on the human skin mask worn by the deceased!"

Shen Chen's eyes sharpened and he opened another box.

The other box of rouge is more ordinary, and the color is also common.

Shen Chen put away the two boxes of rouge and said, "I will go back to the Yamen for interrogation now. It is getting late. You stay in the inn to eat. I will ask Wu Jiu to send Erbao over later."

Lin Xi thought to himself that she couldn't help much if he was interrogated, so he responded and reminded: "Then you remember to confirm with the proprietress of the rouge shop which of the two boxes of rouge Yue Qin bought from her shop. "

Shen Chen nodded, hugged Lin Xi, and went out with her.

Lin Xi bid farewell to Shen Chen, looked back at the room, thoughtfully called the waiter to order dinner, and then returned to their room.

Not long after, Erbao came.

Lin Xi thanked Wu Jiu, who only nodded slightly and left without saying anything.

"Mom, how did you and dad check it out?" Erbao asked impatiently.

Lin Xi said: "We don't have a clue yet. We have to wait until we see the suspect's more accurate confession before we can have any direction. In addition, two more people died."

This case is really getting more and more complicated.

At this time, someone came to deliver dinner, but it was the shopkeeper who came in person.

The shopkeeper smiled flatteringly and asked the waiter to serve a large table of delicacies and said: "These are our specialties. Madam, please try them."

Lin Xi said: "I don't ask for these. If the shopkeeper has anything to do, just tell me."

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "There is nothing else. I just want to ask Madam how long it will take for this yamen to solve the case? I am... waiting to do business."

Erbao glanced at the shopkeeper.

Lin Xi said: "This is a yamen matter. I am a woman and others don't understand."

A waiter next to him couldn't help but muttered: "But people from this yamen have been here several times. Besides, no trace of the murderer has been found after repeated searches. I don't think there is a murderer at all!"

"What did you say?" Lin Xi looked over.

The shopkeeper's expression changed and he gave the waiter a gouging look.

The clerk immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly said it was nothing.

"No, you said there was no murderer at all." Erbao folded his arms and looked at him, smiling slightly, but he looked sinister. "You think clearly and recruit them truthfully. Otherwise, if we go tell the official, you will be arrested."

When it comes to the Yamen Prison, you have to go through eighteen kinds of torture."

When the waiter heard this, his face turned pale, and he knelt down with a plop, kowtowing.

"My noble man, please spare your life! Your noble man, please spare your life!"

"The young one has nothing to do with this. I say this because...because...someone died in that room before!"

The shopkeeper's face changed and he cursed: "Shut up, how dare you say such unlucky words!"

"Shut up."

Lin Xi stopped the shopkeeper, then stood up and walked to the waiter, squatted down to be eye level with him, and said: "I seemed to have heard about the dead person in that room last night. What's going on?"

The waiter looked at the shopkeeper timidly, and Erbao immediately said: "Speak quickly! Otherwise, I'll send you to the Yamen!"

The clerk immediately said: "It was a month ago! A male guest stayed in that room, but he died in that room a few days ago! A guest found the reporter, but when the Yamen people came, they couldn't find anything.

We went out, but no murderer was found. In the end, we said that the male guest died suddenly due to illness!"

"However, several guests later checked in. Either they saw something unclean in the middle of the night, or they heard some strange noises, which scared them so much that they didn't dare to stay. Then someone said that the male guest before was actually

He was harmed by others but was not found out, so he was unwilling to be reincarnated and stayed there!"

"Since then, no one has stayed in that room, and the business of our inn has also been slow. It has only picked up recently. The dead female guest is the only one who dares to stay in it so far. We and the shopkeeper are afraid that she will find out about it.

I left, so I didn’t say anything. I didn’t dare to let other customers know, in case I wouldn’t make any money.”

At this point, the waiter looked at the shopkeeper cautiously and said, "Maybe it was the male customer who refused to look at death who harmed the female customer."

Lin Xi looked at the shopkeeper, his face was almost frozen and he could only laugh.

Lin Xi recalled the details of yesterday's arrival. The waiter and shopkeeper were indeed strange when they received them.
