Chapter 65: Murder of Unknown Cause of Death
After a day and night of rest, and applying externally and internally, Mo Xiao's snake's injury was mostly healed.
The next morning, she got up and walked down the floor. The wound no longer hurts, and she didn't feel uncomfortable all over her body. She felt relieved. In fact, she was still quite worried about being bitten by a poisonous snake.
She cherished her life and said she was not worried that it was fake.
Fortunately, although there is no detoxification in this world, the herbs seem to be more effective than she expected.
"Ah! Miss, why are you going downstairs?" Licorice walked into the house with breakfast. When she saw Mo Xiao walking downstairs, she quickly put down what she had in her hand and ran over.
"Miss, tell Licorice what do you want, don't do it yourself. What if the remaining poison is attacked?" Licorice nervously held Mo Xiao and looked her up and down.
Mo Xiao laughed at her so nervously, "Why do you think you are a lady, I am a porcelain doll? How can you exaggerate it? You can activate the poison by walking two steps. This rest does not mean lying on the bed without moving, but you need to combine movement and stillness. If you really lie in the bed all day, you will get sick even if you don't get sick."
"Is that true?" Licorice looked confused. She had already begun to learn to doubt the authenticity of the lady's words. Is the lady telling it truthfully again this time?
"Of course it's true, stupid girl." Mo Xiao knocked on Licorice's head.
A cute little girl suddenly felt sad and the lady knocked her head again.
"Oh, by the way, Mom Li cooked the detoxification porridge according to the recipe mentioned by the lady. You should drink it while it's hot. Hehe, I just stolen a little, and it tastes really good. The lady is so amazing. Even a medicine can turn it into a delicious porridge." Licorice picked up her lady with a handful of it.
Mo Xiao heard that she had eaten secretly and was about to scare her with words when he heard Zhao Xiuli's voice coming from the window.
"Don't laugh, you can move already. It's great to recover so quickly."
Mo Xiao looked at the window, and there was an extra head exposed under the window. Who would it be if it were Zhao Xiuli?
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Xiuli had already walked in from outside the door and sat on the Arhat bed, "Oh, there is porridge, it's so good. I knew it's wise not to eat breakfast in the mansion. This porridge is so fragrant, I want to eat it when I smell it."
Seeing that there was only one bowl on the table, Zhao Xiuli said to Licorice: "Little girl, go and serve me a bowl."
Licorice did not move, "That is the lady's detoxification porridge. Miss Zhao really dares to eat it?"
Zhao Xiuli looked back at Mo Xiao and frowned and expressed disbelief. "Is it a medicine?"
"Well, it's the medicine. I've prepared a few flavors for Li's mother to boil it in water and cook it. The taste is pretty good. If you want to eat it, you can eat half a bowl. If you have too much, it won't work. I'll ask the licorice to get some scallion oil pancakes for you to eat, and it will also fill your stomach."
Mo Xiao turned to licorice again, "Go, Miss Zhao will tell us the news later. It's not okay if you don't eat enough."
"News, what news?" Licorice suddenly became interested.
"Goggy girl, Zhu hasn't brought it to me yet, and I just want to listen to the news." Zhao Xiuli curled her lips.
"Oh, licorice will go and bring the porridge to Miss Zhao."
Licorice ran out the door happily.
Zhao Xiuli looked at Licorice's back and said to Mo Xiao: "Your girl is getting older and younger, it's what you're used to."
Mo Xiao just smiled and said nothing. The girl was better to be spoiled, and the rigid and restrained kind was so boring.
After a while, licorice came back. Sure enough, there was a large tray in his hand, with half a bowl of porridge and a big pancake on it.
"Miss Zhao, you said while eating, is it that yesterday's murder case has become famous?"
Licorice moved a small chair from the study and placed it next to Mo Xiao. As soon as she sat down, she couldn't help asking.
Zhao Xiuli took two bites of porridge, took another bite of the pancake, and then chewed it slowly, and said, "I told you to tell you, don't tell others, Li Zisang said he wanted to keep it secret. Speaking of this deceased, it has something to do with me after going around."
"Is it your relative?" Licorice penetrated her mouth.
"A relative, it's not quite. Wang family, do you know, it's the Wang family who started with Wanhutang and later took over the Xu family's casino pawnshop business. It was Wang Fugui, my future mother-in-law's brother."
"Wow, it turns out that Wang Fugui, who is a big shot in Sanyang County. The last time I came to our clinic to cause trouble, wasn't it just a small minion from Wanhutang? There must be many such people. I think there must be more people who want to kill him." Licorice said with a flat mouth.
Zhao Xiuli shook her head and said, "Wang Fugui has long handed over Wanhutang to his elder sister Jiang Yongxin, the younger brother of Jiang, and the casino business has also been handed over to his daughter Wang Yujiao. He only cared about the money shop, so he was sitting and waiting for the cash register. It is unlikely to make enemies."
"It's not about taking revenge, it's about making money. Birds die for food, and people die for money." Licorice said again.
"It's strange that the family has counted the property in the room afterwards, and there are basically quite a lot of money. So it's not tenable if you say it's wealth."
"It's not a grudge, nor is it for money. Then there's no way someone will kill him for no reason." Licorice couldn't guess anything else.
"What about Wang Fugui's death? Li Zisang didn't start with the cause of death?" Mo Xiao asked.
"It's just that the cause of death has not been found. Wang Fugui's corpse has been experienced, but he has not been poisoned or traumatized. It seems that his heartbeat suddenly stopped, and he died very strangely."
When Mo Xiao heard this, even she was a little interested. Could it be that it was sudden death caused by a heart disease or other diseases?
"You can tell me more about it. What about Wang Fugui's physical condition before his death?"
"Well, Li Zisang has also known this. According to his family, Wang Fugui has been ill for half a month and has been inviting the doctor from Huichuntang in the east of the city to see a doctor and take medicine, but he is getting worse and worse. He has not gotten out of bed two days ago. Li Zisang asked someone to check the prescription and medicine, and they all said there is no problem."
"Then how did this man die? Could it be that he didn't kill him at all, but died of illness?" Licorice asked.
"Even coroner can't tell the reason. So, now everyone has their own opinions. Wang Fugui's eldest daughter, Wang Yujiao, reported the case. She said that it must have been poisoned by Wang Fugui's concubine. But the concubine kept calling for justice and said that she had not poisoned her. Zisang had no clue at the moment, and he could not be detained without evidence. He just told the concubine and the doctor who treated Wang Fugui to go far and spread it at home at any time."
"Ah, I've been doing it for a long time, and the suspect has not been settled yet. Isn't Mr. Li a detective from Sanyang County?" Licorice flattered her mouth. It's a pity that she almost wanted to be the matchmaker of him and the lady before. It turns out that she has such a little ability.
"I think the autopsy needs to be more careful. If it is a murder, there will always be some clues to be found." Mo Xiao said.
"I said that too, but Zisang said that the coroner in Sanyang County has been repeatedly checked many times, and it is true that no abnormality can be detected. I see, the coroner will not be able to test anything again. Think about it, since he started doing coroner, he has never had a murder case, so how can he have any experience?"
Zhao Xiuli pouted when she said this.
"I originally wanted Li Zisang to take me to see the body, but he refused to do so, saying that if I vomited, wouldn't it have destroyed the body? Cut, the coroner who had been prosecuting the body for the whole time didn't vomit, how could I vomit?"
"Hey, Miss Zhao actually dares to look at the body. If it were Licorice, I would probably have to spit out the overnight meal." Licorice stuck out her tongue.
"I know you are timid. You little girl, you dare to treat me badly next time, so I will take you to see the body."
Zhao Xiuli finally got the opportunity to scare the girl, and stared at her waist with her eyes, scaring Licorice so much that she pushed towards Mo Xiao again.
