Chapter 568： poisoned by carbon monoxide

Chapter 568 Carbon monoxide poisoning

"Poisoned?" Liu Sanqiang was a little confused.

Dong Yue repeated, "Carbon monoxide poisoning."

"What is carbon monoxide?" It's a strange name, and it's a little tricky. If Dong Yue didn't say it twice, he wouldn't be able to say it.

Dong Yue thought for a while, "It's like we are in a room, the doors and windows are sealed, and we keep burning the fire inside. At first we will feel a little dizzy, or feel like vomiting, and the situation will change later. Seriously, the whole person is groggy, without much energy, and then later."

After talking about what happened in detail, Liu Sanqiang finally understood. Suddenly, he remembered that he had been staying at the village head's house. The village head felt that the house was too cold, so he burned a lot of wood in the house to keep warm.

Thinking about it, Liu Sanqiang roughly explained the matter, so that Dong Yue ruled out the possibility of someone harming Liu Sanqiang, and a new problem came, what happened to the person who died of carbon monoxide poisoning?

Unable to figure it out, and feeling that the matter was too serious, she expressed her concerns, and Liu Sanqiang responded quickly enough, and immediately arranged for someone to go to the village chief's house to have a look.

When the carriage returned to the mansion, Dong Yue helped Liu Sanqiang get off the carriage.

When Liu Ru saw Dong Yue coming back, she ran over crying and hugged Dong Yue, "Mother—"

After Dad woke up and got angry at her, she realized the seriousness of the matter. When she saw her mother returned safely, the grievance in her heart rushed out.

Dong Yue touched her daughter's head and comforted her, "Ru'er is doing well today."

"Mother, I..." Liu Ru choked up and couldn't speak.

Dong Yue showed a very weak look, "Ru'er, mother is a little tired, you help father to go in."

Liu Ru took over immediately, the third prince heard this, supported Liu Sanqiang on the other side, and walked towards the backyard.

Dong Yue was speechless.

What is the third prince doing?

Didn't see his move, which scared the maids and eunuchs around him.

After thinking about it, it is also a good thing.

Back to the backyard, Dong Yue asked the third prince and Liu Ru to accompany Liu Sanqiang, and she went to the kitchen to cook some light meals.

When he came back with the food, Xie Laogen stood in front of Liu Sanqiang, looking as if he had been reprimanded.

Dong Yue didn't say anything when she saw it, "Come over for dinner."

Liu Ru and the third prince regarded Liu Sanqiang as a patient who couldn't take care of himself, and helped him walk to the table.

Dong Yue looked at Xie Laogen, "Xie Laogen, come over for dinner."

"Sister-in-law three, I."

Dong Yue pretended not to understand what he meant, and reminded, "You haven't recovered yet. After eating, go back and have a good rest. I'll ask Zuo Qing to send you a bowl of medicine later. Remember to drink it."

Xie Laogen took a look at Liu Sanqiang, but Liu Sanqiang didn't say anything, and immediately responded, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

"You are welcome, sit down and eat."

Everyone ate together, during which no one spoke.

After the meal, Xie Laogen left.

Dong Yue and Liu Sanqiang have something to say, so let the third prince and Liu Ru go back to rest.

With no outsiders, Dong Yue looked at Liu Sanqiang and explained, "Carbon monoxide poisoning will kill you if it is severe, and you may be paralyzed in bed if it is mild. A small amount of inhalation will not have much impact on people."

Dong Yue wanted to see the situation of the village chief’s house. She had seen it herself. She hadn’t been there for half a year, so there should be no change. Besides, when Liu Sanqiang returned to Huangshan Village, there were many people coming and going, so the situation would not be too serious.

The crux of the problem now is, how did the people who attacked Liu Sanqiang die?

Is the situation the same as Liu Sanqiang?

According to Wei Cheng's description, those people were poisoned to death with carbon monoxide after Liu Sanqiang and others left.

Here comes a new problem.

Who poisoned those people after Liu Sanqiang left?

What method is used?

In an open place, it is impossible to use the method of burning wood, and it is definitely carbon monoxide. Could it be that someone put a lot of carbon monoxide on the person's mouth and directly poisoned him to death!

Liu Sanqiang also thought of this possibility, the two of them didn't sleep well that night.

In dreams, someone is always chasing them.

Dong Yue was held back by someone, and someone desperately put a gas mask near her mouth. Dong Yue wanted to escape, but she couldn't; Wu Gong, watching someone put a strange thing on his face, Liu Sanqiang was frightened and struggled; the two knew that there was danger, both struggled, and woke up from the dream at the same time. tone.

Liu Sanqiang was still in shock and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"I'm having a nightmare, what about you?" Dong Yue said, only then did she realize that her wrist was being pulled by Liu Sanqiang, and Liu Sanqiang also noticed that Dong Yue put a leg on his.

"I dreamed that someone was holding my leg."

Dong Yue reflected and looked at her wrist, "I dreamed that someone was holding my hand, and I couldn't break free."

The two laughed at the same time.

Woke up, they couldn't fall asleep anymore, so they just chatted,

Dong Yue asked, "Tell me, who killed those people?"

Liu Sanqiang thought for a while, "It's easy to kill, who would use that kind of thing?"

Dong Yue suddenly turned over and looked at the man, "I dreamed that someone was holding a water bottle up to my nose."

Liu Sanqiang woke up immediately, "I also dreamed about it. What the man was holding was not a kettle, but a strange thing." He couldn't describe it, but the scene in his dream made him feel terrified.

It's not that I'm afraid of my own death, but I'm worried that if I die, who will protect the woman.

Dong Yue understood what a man meant, "The key now is to find out who the killer is."

"What about the carbon monoxide you mentioned?"

"Simple, as I told you, burning wood produces carbon monoxide in a closed space. According to this principle, we can also burn wood in a smaller space and put a sweat towel next to it. The towel absorbs carbon monoxide, save it, and then put it in those people's noses and see it." Dong Yue said this, and asked, "Where are those corpses?"

"Do you want to see the corpse again?" He went to look at the corpse again in the middle of the night, still looking hideous. He suspected that the person in front of him was really a woman?

Dong Yue got up, got dressed, and urged the man to hurry up,

After Dong Yue followed Liu Sanqiang and saw the corpse, he checked it again and confirmed what he thought in his heart.

Liu Sanqiang was speechless, "Let's go!"

"Yes." Dong Yue left passively.

Liu Sanqiang pulled the woman, and when he left, he glanced at Zhao Rui to make sure he understood what it meant, and then he left with confidence.

The dead body can be checked to find out the cause of death. He was a little unhappy to see this thing in the middle of the night. This time, there will be no more dead bodies, and there is no need to worry about women making trouble to look at dead bodies again.

The two returned to the backyard of the mansion and saw that the sky outside was almost dawn.

The two sat in the yard, looking up at the light gradually appearing from the sky until dawn.

"My thoughts are true. You just need to check to see if anyone has died because of this recently. It is possible to know who the other party is."

"Yes." Liu Sanqiang pulled the woman up, went back to the bedroom, and let her lie on the bed again, "Go to sleep for a while, I'll go out for a while."

Dong Yue nodded and didn't speak. Soon, hearing the sound of closing the door, Dong Yue fell asleep tiredly.

She just has this habit. If she doesn't understand some things, even if she falls asleep, she can't sleep well.

Now it's all right, she can sleep peacefully after finding out the problem.

Not long after Dong Yue fell asleep, the third prince and Liu Ru arrived.

I heard that my mother was still sleeping, so they stayed quietly in the yard.

Liu Ru held a medical book to read, and the third prince asked someone to bring a book to read.

Dong Yue woke up, and when she opened the door to stretch, she saw two children in the yard.

Looking at it at a glance, I think the two are a good match.

If it is not bad for the daughter to marry the third prince.

She also finally understood what the emperor intended for the third prince.

It is not training, nor is it expulsion, it is to let him see the facts clearly.

If the third prince later became a prince and his daughter became a princess, he would not enter the palace, and would not be tricked by so many people. If he were an idle prince, then life would be even more comfortable.

Thinking of this, the more I look at it, the more satisfied I am.

Liu Ru looked up from the book, saw the mother standing at the door, put down the book, and walked over quickly, "Mother, are you awake?"

"Well, I got up a little late."

The third prince came to him, "Aunt Dong was exhausted yesterday."

Dong Yue looked at this caring third prince, he must be a warm man when he grows up.

Nodding, he agreed with what the third prince said, and looked at the two of them again, "Have you eaten yet?"

The two shook their heads together.

Dong Yue liked it even more, she didn't express her thoughts, called Zuo Qing and Qing Lan to prepare meals, and took the two children to the main hall for dinner.
