When Mi Zao and Sherlock arrived at the police station, Fangfang was confessing her crime.

"That's right, I set up a scheme to kill Catherine."

Fangfang's voice, as always, carried the coquettishness unique to French women, but when this coquettishness is used to talk about murder, it is not so beautiful.

"That bitch, I don't like her a long time ago."

芳芳倨傲地翻了个白眼,无视了宾利要揍她的动作,自顾自地理了理雪白的手套:“你们肯定会疑惑,我为什么会用杀人这种不理智的方式来宣泄愤恨,因为This means that my life is basically ruined, not only will I face a prison sentence, but there is basically no hope for me to marry."

"But I tell you, I don't regret it."

"The story of the murder."

The interrogator frowned and knocked on the table impatiently, interrupting the family members' whispering.

"Pass. It's very simple. I accidentally discovered the oleander in the manor, and the owner of that manor is my aunt. That day, when I was playing with my friends, I wanted to pick an oleander. The brightly colored oleander is so beautiful. My friend was watching me pick the flowers, so he told me that the oleander is very poisonous, and the juice inside can kill people. Unless there is a corresponding detoxification method, people will die Undoubtedly. I wrote it down at the time. I asked her how to detoxify."

"She told me that a sweet soup of licorice and mung beans can detoxify."

"Who told you that?" the interrogator said as he took notes.

"Mi Zao. She comes from a medical family, but she wants to be an ordinary doctor and see everyone's diseases. For this boring goal, she has read a lot of useless books. But thank you She, if she didn't read those boring books, I couldn't have done this murder of mine."

Fangfang spoke calmly, without any fear of doing something wrong on her face.

"Bring the suspect, Mi Zao."

As soon as the interrogator finished speaking, Miss Mi was brought up.

She was sitting on a chair, her little face was full of uneasiness, and her lips were trembling, playing with her braids.

"Good girl, don't be afraid." Bingley comforted her, "It's all right."

"Ms. Fangfang said that you told her that oleander is poisonous. Please explain in detail what happened that day."

"I... I was with Fangfang that day. I went to her aunt's house to play as usual. Yes, it was Meryton. We had a picnic under the trees. Fangfang proposed to enjoy the flowers. Her aunt There are some beautiful flowers in the house. She wanted to see them, so I went with her. Among all the flowers, phlox was the most beautiful in color. She wanted to pick one. I often read medical books and told her , this flower is poisonous, especially its sap and tree sap, which can paralyze the nerves in mild cases and cause death in severe cases."

"Okay, I got it." The interrogator looked at the content of the conversation and confirmed that the little girl was just a kind reminder and she was not suspected of a crime. "You are fine, and you can go back when the results come out."

"Am...I...really all right...?"

Miss Mi still spoke with a pale face.

"It's alright, let's go."

"Yes, thank you, sir."

Mi Zao nodded, stood up from the chair with her skirt in her hand, and followed the police out of the room.

Sherlock's eyes followed Xiao Mi Zao's back, with a meaningful expression, Mi Zao followed his eyes and looked over: "The good show is so short."

"Yeah." Sherlock looked bored, "boring." Then lowered his voice, "but we can ask her privately. There is nothing to see here. Let's go."

Mi Zao nodded, followed Sherlock and the two to leave the interrogation room, and found Xiao Mi Zao who was sitting in the hall reading a book.

"Hello, Miss Mi." Mi Zao sat beside her very familiarly, "You didn't look very pretty just now. I have fruit candy here. Do you want some?"

As he spoke, he took out a box of Swiss fudge from his bag and opened the lid. The candy was colorful, wrapped in various nuts, soft and sweet, and it made people appetite.

Xiao Mizao looked at the candy, swallowed her saliva, and forced herself to look away: "Forget it, thank you."

"Thank you, eat it. Sugar helps replenish energy and calm people down."

Saying that, Mi Zao picked up a piece of soft candy, put it in the palm of Xiao Mi Zao without any explanation, and put the whole box on her lap, watching her with puffed cheeks chewing the soft candy with a smile.

Only when I calm you down, can I be good at talking.

Mi Zao thought.

"Is it delicious?" Mi Zao asked.

"Delicious. Thank you."

Xiao Mi Zao glanced at her, her eyes were full of ignorance.

"You're welcome. I'm Mr. Bingley's friend. If you help Mr. Bingley find the murderer, we should all thank you."

Mi Zao smiled, and Sherlock wanted to interject, but she twisted her arm so hard that she had to swallow the words.

"This is what I should do, Sister Mi K." Xiao Mizao said, "I should have thought of it at the time, why didn't I think of it? If I identified it earlier, Catherine might not have to be dissected, and she can also rest in peace. gone."

Mi Zao didn't speak, but went on to say: "Maybe you forgot. After all, you didn't worry about saying something unintentionally with your friend. It was just a kind reminder. Who would think so much?"

"No, there were actually more than—" Xiao Mizao's eyes flashed quickly, and he continued, "There is more than one kind of flower, oleander. Who knew that Fang Fang would definitely go to see oleander."

"She insisted on seeing it?"

While talking, Mi Zao secretly glanced at Sherlock, motioning him to shut up.

"Yes, after all there are so many flowers, why does she want to see phlox?"

Xiao Mi seemed to be talking unintentionally, her face full of confusion.

Mi Zao saw the small version of herself here pretending to be stupid and using inductive language to make the questioner follow her train of thought, and couldn't help giving her a thumbs up in her heart.

"Perhaps the oleander is very beautiful." Mi Zao thought for a while, "There must be one of the most eye-catching flowers in the manor. Fangfang said you like reading, and you have a look of disdain, which shows that she is not She likes to read, so she must have been attracted by the gorgeous appearance of flowers. But to be honest, there are quite a lot of oleander in my hometown, and everyone doesn't think it's so pretty."

"That's different! Oleander is a rarity here!"

Xiao Mizao answered, "Fangfang likes rare things the most, and only rare things are rare for her."

"Hey, Sherlock."

Mi Zao suddenly asked Sherlock, "If you like a flower, should you look at the appearance first or ask about its origin and price, which is the added value?"

"Such a silly question—"

Sherlock stopped his mouth under Mi Zao's gradually cooling eyes, and reluctantly answered: "Female...cough, I like flowers. It must be the appearance of flowers that attracts me, followed by the added value."

"So am I."

Mi Zao answered with a smile, "The flowers I saw at a glance must be very outstanding, very unusual. A little red among thousands of flowers must grow very well, but oleander is not outstanding. Like this In other words, the other flowers should not be very pretty."

Xiao Mizao stopped chewing, and said slowly, "Her aunt is that aesthetic."

"So it is."

Mi Zao nodded, "However, Aunt Fangfang also came here just now. I think her dress and conversation are quite decent. Of course, I don't know her aesthetics. But standing in front of a normal person From the point of view, would a rich man who owns a manor only buy oleander from India? I will definitely buy a lot of flowers to decorate my manor.

Xiao Mizao closed the lid of the fudge box at some point, stared at her side face and asked:

"Sister Mi, what do you mean?"

"Miss Mi should know what it means better than me."

Mi Zao took out the newspaper from the day before yesterday from her bag, and read it again in front of her:

"...According to Miss Bingley's neighbor, Miss Mi Zao from China, Miss Bingley was playing the piano before she died, and while she was playing, she suddenly became short of breath, then she coughed loudly, and she asked for a drink. To quench her thirst, her servant poured her a glass of water. After drinking the glass of water, Miss Bingley continued to play the piano. went out with her. When they came back into the house, Miss Bingley was sprawled over the keys, and had stopped breathing."

"What does this mean?"

Xiao Mizao was full of doubts.

"Actually, I lied before, Catherine doesn't have oleander juice in her throat."

Mi Zao stated with a smile, "However, when I said that Catherine had oleander juice in her throat, your reaction was very interesting. You were not surprised or worried, but you silently glanced at Fangfang."

"What does that mean?" Xiao Mizao was still puzzled.

"You know she's going to kill someone. Although she didn't tell you all of her plan, you must know part of her plan. Do you know what a crime it is to not report it?"

Mi Zao suddenly lowered her voice.

"I...I..." Xiao Mizao looked flustered.

"Okay, there's no need to pretend. The real instigator behind this case is you."

Mi Zao was too lazy to reason with her step by step, so he lowered his voice, making sure that only the three of them could hear the conversation, and said in Chinese:

"Actually, you made a mistake at the beginning. Your dual quotient is really high, but have you ever thought that if someone really wants to investigate, you will still be found out. Moreover, you have already exposed a part, do not you know?"

Xiao Mizao stared into her eyes and motioned for her to continue.

"Fangfang said that you are from a family of traditional Chinese medicine. Fangfang's aunt lives not far from your home. Your family had contacts before, and it was her aunt who asked you for help. Don't look at me like that. Sherlock and I are coming to the police We went to Fangfang's aunt's house specially before the Department of Public Security, and from her housekeeper, we learned the truth, those flowers did not come from India, but from the Qing Dynasty, but India was still written on the purchase list."

"Your family earns an unknown amount of profit every year only through the channel of "flowers to cure diseases". And you, as the eldest daughter of your family, will definitely not be able to take over the family business in the future, but the family business can still be used for you. To gain a lot of convenience. For example, under the guise of curing the disease, I told Aunt Fangfang which flowers are better for the disease when paired with oleander."

"That's right, you are very smart, killing three birds with one stone. If this is done, it will not only ruin Fangfang and Catherine, but also drag Fangfang's family who have always looked down on you into the mud. It is really a good deal It's gone, isn't it?"

Mi Zao said with a smile.
