Chapter Twenty-Four: The Truth Is Revealed
Of course, Officer Wang was trying to scare the two of them, but of course Xu Jianhua didn't care, he connected all the discoveries together, his thoughts became clear in an instant, and he said happily:
"It wasn't who took it, it was the mouse! Rats! ”
Officer Wang came to his senses, and Xu Jianhua saw that Qin Wei still didn't understand, so he continued:
"Still don't understand? Pigeons are animals that don't eat at night, but the feed is put in by Liao Kai at night. Rats are extremely intelligent and cautious animals, and after they are first put in, they come out at night to forage for food, and they dare not eat indiscriminately, but after a long time, they will also find that it is edible food. So, the first few pigeons died because they ate early in the morning, so they were poisoned. The night before Liao Kai died, the feed happened to be robbed by the rats, and there was only some residue left in the feed trough, so the pigeon did not eat enough when it ate in the morning, and it saved its life. These days, no one raises pigeons, so they peck at these leftovers, although it is uncomfortable to eat, but not to starve, so there are signs of poisoning, and it has continued until now. ”
The people around looked at Xu Jianhua with strange and admiring eyes, even Officer Wang, Xu Jianhua seemed to be very proud, and he was still unsatisfied, he still had to put the finishing touch, so he continued:
"Presumably, Liao Kai will see signs of poisoning in the morning when he gets up, but he is not dead, which means that the medicine he prepared is already available. Or he didn't find any signs at all, but the forensic comrades would definitely find it, because if they didn't find any signs of poisoning in the pigeons, they would take the feed residue back for testing, but since the pigeons were poisoned, it means that they are undoubtedly poisonous, but they may not be toxic or toxic enough to people. So it was precisely this 'slight poisoning' that broke the whole thread. ”
Suddenly, Officer Wang felt that his face was gloomy, and Xu Jianhua did not notice it at this time, but continued to explain to everyone endlessly:
"Then if nothing else, there must be a nest of poisoned rats in this house, and I ask the police comrades to search every corner. I think I'm sure I'll find out! ”
The whole house in the west wing was full of sundries of the Liao family, and the large urns that housed the grain were quite troublesome to move, in order to protect the scene. In order to facilitate the future survey, no one has been touched in the slightest. But Officer Wang couldn't let this opportunity to solve the case run away, so he ordered everyone, including the clerk and the female comrades. Quickly clear debris and take care to protect the site.
And because Qin Wei and Xu Jianhua are not police and public prosecutors, they don't dare to help, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble. After a busy morning, he finally moved out the sundries and food urns, and Officer Wang carefully searched all corners with a flashlight, and finally found a mouse hole in the southwest corner, but no dead mice were found, so he ordered someone to dig the mouse hole, and sure enough, it was true. The carcasses of eight rats, large and small, were dragged out of the cave at once, and uneaten pigeon feed was found in the hole.
Officer Wang immediately asked people to come over and take samples back for testing, Xu Jianhua and Qin Wei were very excited, but Liao Yun, who didn't know why, was very unhappy when he saw their expressions. Xu Jianhua noticed that there was a viciousness on Liao Yun's face that was difficult to hide, which couldn't help but surprise Xu Jianhua.
On the way back, Qin Wei asked Xu Jianhua: "Did you say that the test results are the formula of the Seven Spirits Flower Scatter?" ”
Xu Jianhua said with a smile: "You are knowingly asking, don't make a cheap profit, there will be a fake?" How can there be such a coincidence in the world? ”
Qin Wei was in a very good mood, he wanted to go back and quickly tell Liu Wenqing the good news, and let Liu Wenqing tell her sister. In this way, his father and Zhang Zhengguo will be fine.
However, Qin Wei also sighed shortly, and he sighed with emotion: "You said what a capable person Liao Kai is, my father said that he has a very fast ability to learn things and comprehend things, and even my father may tell him the secret recipe of the Seven Spirits Flower Scattering." ”
Xu Jianhua said: "If Liao Kai is not Zhang Zhengguo's undercover agent. Or he doesn't have the selfish intention to be greedy for this recipe, if his character is good, then Old Man Qin may pass it on to him. Man, that's it, a person who has no quarrel with the world is either a mediocre person. Either the people who see through the world, and the rest are those who are capable of fighting together. But it's a bit whimsical for you to say this, in fact, I think your father already knew that he was an undercover agent. ”
Qin Wei couldn't help but wonder, "Really? ”
Xu Jianhua immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, so he said: "Of course I don't know, I guessed too." But this can't be blamed on Uncle Qin, even if he wants to teach his disciples the secret recipe, he will naturally test his character, but Liao Kai can't live because of his own evil, but he can't blame others, besides, Uncle Qin values him so much. I mean, no matter how smart Liao Kai is, he can't escape Uncle Qin's eyes, even if he is not sure, he has to be aware of it. ”
Qin Wei was relieved when he heard this, he joked and said, "Then why isn't my father worried that you will steal the recipe?" ”
Xu Jianhua said with a smile: "This is for sure, the friendship between our two families is certainly one thing, the most important thing is that I don't understand it at all, I want to steal your family's prescription, I have to learn Chinese medicine for ten years first, and then look at it again, after I understand it, I have to go back with a pigeon and risk my life to rub the medicine, which is too troublesome." ”
The two of them couldn't help but laugh as they spoke.
The test results showed that the rats had stolen the pigeon feed, and the pigeons were poisoned in very little amount and did not die. The public security department also immediately withdrew the criminal proceedings against the Qin and Zhang families, and determined that Liao Kai died of poisoning due to his own selfishness, overdose of the drug.
On the day Qin Yuhan came back, Qin Wei did not take him home, but directly asked the old man to go to Ruize Hall. Because of this, after Ruizetang experienced this incident, it should be considered a thing worth celebrating when it opened again, so the Qin family was overjoyed, needless to say.
After Zhang Zhengguo came back, he felt very embarrassed, his days in the police station can be said to be tormented in every way, every night when he looks back, he doesn't feel a little regretful, he now knows that this recipe is not something that ordinary people can prepare. In fact, Qin Xiao also told Zhang Zhengguo in the previous document, but he always felt that he could tackle key problems in scientific research, and maybe there was hope.
However, Qin Xiao also understood, when he read his grandfather Qin Zhihong's notes, he felt that his grandfather used it seven times to succeed, which was too slow. Now he understands that in fact, his grandfather Qin Zhihong's medical skills are already quite skillful, but in his notes, he speaks too humbly, which makes Qin Xiao feel that this prescription is commonplace.
But Qin Xiao also immediately understood that if this was really an ordinary recipe, he would not wait for his grandfather to prepare it, in fact, he had tried it before, and after repeated attempts and failures, he gave up. Later, when the Qing court compiled it, it was placed at the end of the whole book, not because it was a finale formula, but because I felt that this recipe was in a dilemma between deletion and retention. It may be that the last compiler thought of kindness, and this was included at the end of the "Records of the Green Bag".
However, the matter was not really over, on the day of Qin Yuhan's acquittal, Liao Yun brought a few random people to "collect debts", saying that his brother was framed, and placed wreaths at the door of Ruize Hall. I don't know where a group of peasants came from, wearing linen and wearing filial piety, cried in front of the door, and constantly attacked Ruizetang for "grass and human life". As soon as the people around saw this situation, many people who came to Ruizetang to grab medicine and see a doctor left.
Xu Jianhua was angry, rushed out and pointed at Liao Yun and said, "You have nothing to do!" The police have proved our innocence, don't you believe it? Your brother is obsessed with his own ghosts, who is this complaining about? ”
At this time, Qin Yuhan hurriedly drank Xu Jianhua and said to Liao Yun: "You are Liao Kai's younger brother?" ”
Liao Yun said angrily: "Yes, I am, my brother told me, although you are his teacher, but is there a teacher like you?" I haven't learned to let people see it, and deliberately make people think, don't think I don't know. You say, who saw this recipe and didn't have any ideas? ”
Qin Wei couldn't help but be furious and said, "Why are you so unreasonable? Learn the recipe without looking at how to learn, it's your brother who is too anxious, but blames us! ”
Qin Yuhan saw that he couldn't interject, so he dismissed Xu Jianhua and Qin Wei and said, "This matter is so reasonable, but we are not bad-hearted. It stands to reason that Liao Kai works here with me, and he is unfortunate, and we should also express it, so we have to discuss it carefully, how can you talk well if you do this? ”
Liao Yun saw that the old man was listening, so he said politely: "Still, old man, you are sensible, my brother died like this, I am making trouble, you are not at ease, and you can't do this business well, are you right?" ”
Xu Jianhua saw that Liao Yun's words were a naked threat, but when he thought that Old Man Qin didn't let him speak, he had no choice but to hold back and not say anything.
Qin Yuhan continued to say kindly: "That's it, you accept this set first, let's go inside and talk about it in detail, how about it?" ”
How could Liao Yun agree, and immediately retorted: "Farewell old man, I'm going to toss for a while, you let me withdraw, and then you can't give me my conditions, and it's troublesome for me to toss back and forth, if you want to talk about it, let's talk about it now, I'll just let them converge." ”
Xu Jianhua and Qin Wei's lungs were almost angry, but Qin Yuhan waved his hand and invited Liao Yun in.
Liao Yun was very proud when he saw that he had succeeded, and when he arrived at the house, Qin Yu and Hanran served tea, Liao Yun may have just pretended to cry and wipe his tears, and his voice was hoarse, and he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, he picked up a cup of tea and wanted to drink it. But the tea was hot, and it hadn't been brewed yet, and he couldn't help but burn his tongue when he took a sip. (To be continued.) )
