Chapter 27 No Wasp Flying Over

"Girl, I bought the nectar of chrysanthemums, and there are only ones sold in Sishitang nearby."

Sishitang is a medicine shop, and honey can be used as medicine.

Xiao Xia opened the lid of the small porcelain jar, and Hua Jingyao said to Xiaoli: "Do you smell the same?"

Xiaoli came over and smelled it, shook her head: "This is so honey, better than that."

Hua Jingyao stood up and said to Qin Wei, who was in the forefront, and said, "Master Qin, can you move outside and take a look?"

Qin Wei had already seen the jar of honey, but he didn't understand why Hua Jingyao wanted him to go outside.

Master Hua said angrily: "Nothing, nothing, Lord Qin, just a child's nothing."

But Hua Jingyao looked at Luo Jiong sitting outside again and said, "Luo Corps, let's go out and have a look together?"

"good."

Luo Jiong stood up without saying a word. Qin Wei laughed and also got up and walked outside. Master Hua shook his head helplessly, glared at Hua Jingyao fiercely, and went out with him.

Everyone walked out of the hall and stood under the corridor. Hua Jingyao whispered a few words to Xiaoxia. Xiaoxia walked down the steps, raised the jar containing chrysanthemum nectar high, and smashed it down violently. The jar fell on the ground paved with bluestone and smashed it to pieces. The fragrance of chrysanthemum nectar instantly spread.

"What is this?" As soon as Master Hua said, he felt something was wrong, because he saw Qin Wei's lips closed and his eyes staring at the honey splashed all over the floor.

No one answered Master Hua, and suddenly the surroundings became quiet. Everyone was staring at the broken porcelain jars on the ground and the honey flowing out of the porcelain jars, just like Qin Wei.

After a long time, a butterfly flew over and landed on a piece of broken porcelain. Then, several butterflies flew one after another, circling around the honey on the ground, and refused to fly away for a long time.

Hua Jingyao let out a long breath, and Qin Wei's gaze finally moved away from the ground. He looked at Hua Jingyao and asked, "Miss Hua, can you explain it now?"

Hua Jingyao nodded and said, "There is a little girl who was poisoned to death with my sister. I found that the clothes on her body were obviously inappropriate and very clean. Obviously, they were replaced after death, and that was not her own clothes. But the shoes on her feet were very suitable. There was half a stain at the mouth of her shoes, and the other half stain was on the socks. This means that her shoes were the pair she wore when she died, and that half stain was honey and chrysanthemum nectar."

Speaking of this, Hua Jingyao pointed to the honey sprinkled on the ground and said, "My sister and that girl have traces of being stinged by bees on her face, and it is undoubtedly a bee wound. Whether it is a bee, a hornet or other poisonous bees, they are all bees. The bee likes the most the smell of honey, and there happens to be a drop of honey on the little girl's shoes and socks. Could it be that the poisonous bee swarms when she smells the little honey on her feet? Of course it is unlikely, but if the little girl sprinkles all the whole bowl of honey on her clothes, it is possible, and the drop on the shoes and socks is just a splash."

"Everyone in the entire Marquis' Mansion knows that the little girl is my sister's playmate. They usually play together. The so-called poisonous bees may be ordinary hornets. These hornets are attracted by the honey on the little girl's body. Two girls of four or five years old suddenly saw a hornet, and they would be frightened. Maybe they would wave their hands to beat them. The hornets were frightened and stung them all. In fact, children provoked hornets and were stung by hornets, which is also common for Sikong, but it is strange that the little girl's clothes sprinkled with honey were replaced. If they were kindly wanted to let the little girl be buried cleanly, they could change into the little girl's own clothes. However, the one on the little girl's body was fat and big, obviously not hers, but someone temporarily found one for her to change it."

"The reason why my sister was stung was because of the hornets. The reason why the hornets came because of the honey on the little girl's clothes. It was absolutely true that my sister was stung by the hornets. So even if she was later poured with heartbreak grass, the cause of death would be considered to be stung by the poisonous bee. Then the little girl's clothes are the key evidence, but now the evidence is gone. Do you think this matter is very strange?"

As soon as Hua Jingyao finished speaking, Master Hua scolded: "It's all your random guesses. Where are there any clothes sprinkled with honey? It's exaggerating!"

Qin Wei's eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice: "Miss Hua, you asked someone to sprinkle honey on the ground and ask me to see it again, just to prove that there are actually no hornets in this marquis' mansion. The hornets that stung Miss Hua Wu yesterday were caught and released, right?"

Hua Jingyao looked admiring and almost gave her a thumbs up: "Mr. Qin is really a god."

Qin Wei nodded, feeling very comfortable, and he said, "Miss Hua, let's continue talking."

Hua Jingyao was not polite and said, "So much honey has attracted only a few butterflies. Why did there beehives yesterday but not today? Lord Qin is right. There are no hornets in the Marquis' Mansion. The hornets were deliberately released. There are flowers and trees in the wealthy families, so there are hornets. Everyone knows that hornets can't be stabbed. But as far as I know, there are people in the capital who specialize in making a living by demolishing hornets' nests for people. These people are all secret techniques passed down from ancestors. They can attract hornets and catch hornets. I think there were hornets' nests in the Marquis' Mansion before, but they were removed by others."

She said this and then stopped talking. Not only did she know that there were specialized in this kind of business, but she also knew that there were very few people doing this kind of business.

Qin Wei immediately asked someone to ask, the one who does this kind of business in the capital is the Liu Family Bee Garden outside the city.

It took only two hours before Captain Yin found clues from the Liu Family Beeyard.

In the Liu Family Beeyard, they keep bees and cut honey. Many shops in the capital sell Liu Family honey. Therefore, people from the Liu Family Beeyard will also take care of the job and dismantle honeycombs for wealthy families.

Seven or eight days ago, a friend from the Liu Family Bee Garden met a man named Huang Xiaogou while drinking in a tavern. The two had a good chat. Huang Xiaogou not only paid the bill for him, but also gave him a tael of silver, saying that the neighbor's child always peed at his doorstep. He asked a few hornets to scare the child. After the matter was done, he would give him another tael of silver.

For this guy, it was just a trivial matter. A few days later, the guy met Huang Xiaodog in the tavern and handed over the small jar containing more than a dozen hornets to Huang Xiaodog.

The jar is unique to the beeyard, with air vents on it, and the wasp is installed inside and will never die of stuffiness.

Captain Yin went to the tavern again. Everyone in the tavern knew Huang Xiaogou, who was the idle man nearby. Captain Yin found Huang Xiaogou without any effort. Huang Xiaogou saw that the person who came to Shuntian Mansion was an official, so scared that he peed on the spot.

According to him, someone paid ten taels of silver and asked him to find a way to get a few hornets from the Liu family beeyard. He gave the mate two taels and got eight taels of silver himself.

Huang Xiaogou is a idle man and has done a lot of stealing things. At a glance, he knew that the man was not kind to the hornet, so he was careful and thought that after the incident, he blackmailed the man.

He quietly followed the man into the city, and saw that the man entered the vegetable market alley and did not come out.
