Chapter Nineteen: Please enter the urn

Everyone looked at Bao Zheng in confusion, but everyone knew that Bao Zheng must have made a major discovery.

Bao Zheng said, "Do you know that these scholars had any physical discomfort before?"

Gongsun Ce said at this time: "They are from other provinces, and their accents are different from those of the other people in the academy, so they have never communicated with outsiders. However, some time ago, they did see that they were not very good-looking, and some of them did not participate in the Master's lectures many times."

Bao Zheng pointed to the Eight Immortals Table and said seriously: "Actually, the poisoning of them has nothing to do with food. The four bowls that really poisoned them!"

Bao Zheng's words made everyone uproar. Lin Yan said: "Bao Zheng, this is just an ordinary tin bowl. How could this bowl poison four people?"

Bao Zheng waved his hand and said, "You only see the appearance and think you have eaten something poisonous, but in fact the one that is really poisonous is the bowl. The four scholars use this bowl every day to eat, which is poisonous, so it will cause vomiting and loss of energy. The wooden basin under the bed is what he has used to vomit and wear. You should know that tin is a very expensive thing. I looked at other daily things in the room and it can be seen that the four scholars are children of poor families. It is impossible to afford tin bowls to make rice bowls. This is a question. Tin is a slightly blue and white metal, but to make it into tinware, other metals are usually added, so it is difficult for people to see pure white tin utensils."

When everyone heard Bao Zheng say this, they all started to listen. Bao Zheng picked up the tin bowl on the table and then said, "The four bowls are black in color, obviously not really pure tin bowls. A lot of lead is added to these four bowls. The four scholars eat with this bowl every day, which means they eat lead every day. The lead is highly toxic. Over time, the four people are absolutely helpless."

Gongsun Ce suddenly realized, "Brother Bao really has a clear idea. If the four people were really poisoned by these four bowls, then Mr. He could escape from this case."

Bao Zheng shook his head and said, "In fact, the death of the four people was not accidental. There was no reason for four poor students to spend a lot of money to buy this useless tin bowl. This bowl was obviously given to them by those who are interested. As long as we can find out the source of these bowls, we can find out the real murderer."

Master He sighed at this time: "Although I know the real cause of the four people's death, it is probably more difficult to find out who gave this tin bowl than climbing to the sky. There are more than a dozen tin shops in Luzhou alone. If the murderer brought the tin bowl from another place, it will be even more difficult to check."

Bao Zheng smiled and said, "Actually, we don't have to check it out at all. With these four bowls, we can wait for the rabbit in the academy."

Gongsun Ce thought for a moment and clapped his hands and said, "Brother Bao is indeed a masterpiece. The thief is guilty. As long as we release the news of our intention to find physical evidence, we do not tell the public whether it has been found, which makes people confused, and then make a fuss for the academy with great fanfare. I guess in no time, someone will remember these four bowls and destroy them."

Bao Zheng smiled and said, "Brother Gongsun thinks the same as I do. Let's invite you into the jar and catch turtles in the jar."

Master He smiled and said, "Bao Zheng's clever plan, since he has made a plan, let's go back and discuss it carefully."

Everyone left the murder scene, and the four bowls were still placed in that room and continued to lock them.

The four of them returned to Mr. He's residence, where Zhang Yuxi and Sun Ling'er were already waiting in the lobby.

As soon as Bao Zheng entered the lobby, he saw Zhang Yuxi, Sun Ling'er and Xiaoyun whispering. When Sun Ling'er saw Bao Zheng's whole face turned red in a daze, and her little hands were at a loss to play with the corner of her clothes. Yesterday's unruly spirit had already turned into nothing.

Seeing that Sun Ling'er had changed so much, Bao Zheng couldn't help but wonder what Zhang Yuxi said to Sun Ling'er.

Zhang Yuxi stepped forward and asked Bao Zheng where he was just now. Bao Zheng briefly told everything he had discovered and thoughts.

Mr. He said, "Bao Zheng, your plan is nothing more than two aspects. One is to promote and create momentum, and the other is to catch turtles in the jar. The first point is that I can ask my servants to bring letters to my disciples and let them promote them widely. I guess it will spread throughout Luzhou in a few days. The second point is that you need trustworthy people to keep a close eye on the wing room where the bowls are placed. You are all weak scholars. If the murderer really comes to destroy the evidence, I think it will be difficult to catch him."

Sun Ling'er blushed and said, "Ling'er knows how to do three-legged cat skills, and Xiaoyun's skills are good. It's just that we two girls have to wait around the wing room, but they are a little scared."

Gongsun Ce smiled wickedly at this time and said, "If the two girls are afraid of ghosts, it is better to let them accompany you. I think even if the evil ghost really comes, as long as I am here, I can protect the two girls."

Seeing Gongsun Ce's expression, Xiaoyun couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart and said angrily: "Gongsun Gongsun, I'm afraid that the biggest evil ghost will be you, Mr. Gongsun."

Gongsun Ce looked embarrassed after hearing Sun Ling'er's ridicule. Zhang Yuxi stepped forward and said, "If there is Gongsun, Mr. Lin Yan, and Ling'er and Xiaoyun, I think it is not difficult to capture a murderer, but for the sake of safety, it is better to ask the officers and soldiers for help."

Bao Zheng waved his hand at this time and said, "Don't notify the officers and soldiers. The fewer people should know this, the better. If someone knows the inside story, it will be difficult to get the murderer to jump into the French Open. To keep it confidential, Brother Gongsun and Brother Lin help, Ling'er and Xiaoyun assist. The four of you live in the courtyard not far from the room and monitor it day and night. I want to go to the charity village of the prefecture to see if I can find more clues."

Gongsun Ce was shocked at this time: "Bao Zheng, don't you want to go for an autopsy?"

Bao Zheng nodded and said, "I always feel that there are still some missing things. Maybe we think things are too simple. You are waiting for me in the academy, and I will send Yuxi back to Bao Mansion and then go to the charity village to meet with some of you as soon as possible."

Mr. He looked a little excited at this time and said, "Bao Zheng, I didn't expect you to escape the sins of me so wholeheartedly. It seems that Xian'er did not misjudgment at the beginning, but unfortunately Xian'er is still missing. I'm afraid he has already,,,,"

Master He looked at Bao Zheng and couldn't help but think of his granddaughter Dong Xianxian, and couldn't help but choke up and lose his voice.

Bao Zheng comforted Master He for a while, and saw that Master He was gradually calming down, so he took Yu Xi away from Luzhou Academy and rushed to the city.

Along the way, Bao Zheng wanted to ask Yu Xi many times what she said to Sun Ling'er, which changed her attitude so much.

Zhang Yuxi was evasive. Whenever Bao Zheng asked, Yuxi would spread the words aside. Bao Zheng saw that he couldn't find out what he asked, so he had to give up.

Originally, Bao Zheng planned to send Zhang Yuxi back to Bao Mansion to avoid being afraid of Yuxi when he went to the Yizhuang Village to see the body, but Zhang Yuxi refused and insisted on following Bao Zheng. Bao Zheng had no choice but to take her to the Yizhuang Village. The Yizhuang Village is a special room for the corpse of the victims of the murder case. Generally, the case was not solved and the body would not be buried easily.

Bao Zheng and Zhang Yuxi arrived at Yizhuang, but saw the leader of Yizhuang. A group of people were there and didn't know what was going on. Zhang Yuxi saw his father Zhang Yao at a glance among the officers and soldiers.
