Four hours later, Bianjing Mansion. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shen Yueran, Mei Caiyu, and Lu Su knelt in the defendant's seat on the right, and Wei Dongming and Wang Cuizhi knelt in the plaintiff's seat on the left.

Zhao Xianyang, the head of the house, sat upright on the top of the public hall, pointed to the case, and asked Wei Yi, who was standing on the left side of the steps, "Wei guard, what does this mean?" ”

"Lord Hui, it is to confirm the guess of the lower official. Xia Guan believes that the murder of the child in the oil mill is completely a case of accidental ingestion, but it is also a typical case of a black-hearted businessman who harms others and ends up harming himself and trying to blame others! Wei Yi pointed to Wei Dongming and Wang Cuizhi, and shouted coldly.

The two trembled and shouted "wronged" in unison.

Wei Yi snorted, "Wronged? This official will convince you and your husband and wife! ”

Zhao Xianyang nodded and motioned for Wei Yi to continue.

Wei Yi took the order and said, "Someone is coming." The three officials entered the public hall in turn, each carrying a pair of vermilion lacquer trays and standing in front of the three iron cages, each of which was covered with red brocade, so that the inside could not be seen.

Wei Yi said, "There is no doubt about this case, the deceased Wei Pao'er and Chicken Boy were both poisoned and died, and the poison is the same, the question is where the poison comes from." Before explaining this question, Wei Dongming, Wang Cuizhi, and this official each need to ask you and your wife to verify one thing, and you must answer truthfully. ”

The two kings of Wei should kowtow.

Wei Yi asked Wang Cuizhi first, "Wang Cuizhi, you suffer from leg disease and are naturally afraid of cold, so you have to burn a lot of charcoal fire every winter to keep warm, right?" ”

Wang Cuizhi nodded, "Lord Hui, yes, the pain in the two knees of the folk woman is unbearable as soon as she catches a cold, and she is almost inseparable from the charcoal basin in winter, so she has to burn more than three times more charcoal than other people's houses." ”

Wei Yi nodded, this point has been answered from the testimony of the boss of the charcoal shop.

"If this official wants to say, your room is as warm as spring, can you agree?" Wei Yi said.

Wang Cuizhi replied, "Back to the adult, the woman agrees, there are outsiders who have been to the woman's house, and they have also said the same things as adults. ”

Wei Yi asked Wei Dongming again, "Wei Dongming, this official asked you, when did you find out that the deceased was dead?" ”

Wei Dongming glanced at Wang Cuizhi and said, "Back to my lord, Xiaomin found out that the child was dead after two minutes (note: half past ten in the morning). ”

Wei Yi said, "Are you sure?" ”

Wei Dongming said, "Back to the adult, the small people are sure." ”

Wei Yi said, "Combined with the confession of the defendant in this case, Shen Yueran, this official will sort out what happened this morning one by one. At midnight this morning (note: 9 o'clock in the morning), Shen Yueran went to the oil mill to get oil. At 9:15 a.m., she walked out of the oil mill and met Wang Cuizhi returning to the oil mill with the deceased. Two o'clock in the morning, you and your wife found the deceased dead. Just after three o'clock (note: at 10:45 a.m.), the official received a report. Can you agree? ”

Wei Dongming said, "Back to the adults, the small people agree." ”

Wei Yi nodded and called, "Witness." ”

A young man who looked like a young man lowered his head and walked into the public hall and knelt down.

"My lord, Xiaomin is a miscellaneous worker in a teahouse, and when he threw dirt this morning, he saw Boss Wei of the oil mill behind the house. At that time, he picked up a bag, threw it into the dirt corner, and kicked it in with his foot. Xiaomin has never had much to do with him, and he's heard of him hooking up outside. Thinking that the burden must be an unsightly thing, I was afraid that the proprietress of the oil mill would find out, so I threw it away. Xiaomin felt ashamed of this, so he lowered his body, and only after he was gone did he appear to dump the filth. Young people testify.

"The oil mill Boss Wei in your mouth is this person?" Wei Yi pointed at Wei Dongming and asked.

The young man said, "Lord Hui, yes, Wei Dongming, the owner of the oil mill, who doesn't know?" ”

"And what time did you see him?" Wei Yi asked.

The young man thought for a moment and said, "It's been two moments." ”

"Are you sure?" Wei Yi said.

"Sure." The young man affirmed, "There is a clock in the teahouse, and the small people have the habit of looking at the clock, so they can't be wrong." ”

Wei Yi nodded, Xiao Er was taken down, and Wei Dongming's forehead was oozing with cold sweat.

Wei Yi shouted, "If the child dies here, go and throw dirt over there, Wei Dongming, what kind of big thing is in your baggage, it is more important than the child who died in your own arms?!" ”

Wei Dongming changed his words and said, "Back to the adult, Xiaomin remembered wrongly, Xiao'er did not die two moments later, but earlier, earlier." ”

Wei Yi took out Murong Jin's preparation book and said, "Murong Ti deduced that the deceased Wei Pao'er died in Sizheng, but at this time? ”

Wei Dongming said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, it's Sizheng, it's Sizheng, Xiaomin remembers, and the punishment is clear." ”

"Humph!" Wei Yi said, "That's even weirder!" From the discovery of the child's death to Wang Cuizhi's rush out of the oil mill to make trouble, there was a gap of two quarters of an hour! Wang Cuizhi, the official asked you, what were you doing in those two quarters of an hour? ”

"Folk woman-" Wang Cuizhi was startled.

Wei Yi suddenly showed a smile and interrupted her, "You are Xiao'er's mother-in-law, Xiao'er died suddenly, and the white-headed man sent the black-headed man, you must have held the child's corpse and cried bitterly, didn't you?" ”

Wang Cuizhi's lips twitched, "Folk woman-"

"Yes, yes, back to the adult, the clumsy Jing is, and so is the small people." Wei Dongming hurriedly continued, "It happened suddenly, Xiaomin and Humble Jing were stupid, and they came back to their senses before they could follow." ”

Wei Yi said, "That's the best." ”

He turned around and said to everyone, "The official has asked Wei Dongming, Wang Cuizhi and his wife what the official wants to know, first, the oil mill wing, which is the scene of the crime in this case, is as warm as spring, plus the heavy snow closed the city a few days ago, and every household closed the door, so it is not an exaggeration to say that it is 'sultry'." The second is that the time when the king of Wei found the deceased dead was positive, but the report was two quarters of an hour later. Next, the official will conduct on-site tests to find out the poisons that poison children. ”

The crowd held their breath.

I saw a servant come out of the queue and open the red brocade, and it turned out that there was a plate of peanut oil on the tray. The servant fed peanut oil to one of the mice. The mice ate it all in one go, and after a cup of tea, they gradually showed symptoms of weakness.

The second officer lifted the red brocade, and on the tray were two peeled peanuts, but both were moldy. The officer fed one of the peanuts to the mice. The rat just sniffed it and ran away. The servant forcibly stuffed the peanut into the mouth of the white mouse, and after a while, the white mouse was so angry that it was dying.

When it was the turn of the third officer, Wei Yi stopped him.

"Frankly speaking, when Murong told the official that the poison in this case was more than 60 times more than the arsenic poison, the official was angry. Like most people, this official wonders who and why would do this to a three-year-old child! The official is bent on finding out the motive, yes, the motive of hatred. Without hatred, who would have possessed this poisonous thing? However, just as the official walked into a dead end along the word 'hatred', a friend reminded the official. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and his eyes glanced at Shen Yueran, who was kneeling on his right.

Shen Yueran met his gaze and buried her head.
