Chapter 286: A Strange Case

cpa300_4(); The woman who screamed and said that she was killing just now took the village chief back to her house, and many curious villagers immediately ran to watch, and Ouyang Deyuan and I also followed.

I saw a strong black man lying upright on the ground, bleeding from his seven orifices, obviously dead for a while.

The village chief's surname is Qiao Mingbu, and he is a local, so everyone has to solve anything with him first.

Village Chief Qiao was immediately shocked when he saw this black man.

"Oh, isn't this your family's old Yan? How...... Why did you die all of a sudden? ”

It turned out that the crying woman was the wife of the dead man.

The woman cried and said: "Yes, my Lao Yan came back from working on the ground and said that he wanted to eat hot and sour soup, so I went to cook a bowl of soup for him, and then I went to the back to take a bath, I was halfway through the wash when I heard a cry in the house, I didn't care at first, and then I heard Lao Yan screaming very badly, so I hurriedly jumped out of the bathtub to see, this look...... Oh my God, that's what he did. ”

"Hot and sour soup?" Village Chief Qiao turned around and saw a large bowl that had been broken, and there was still a little soup in the bowl.

"Oh, this old Yan is really miserable, the seven orifices are bleeding, it shouldn't be poisoning, I heard that people who are poisoned are like this." A woman who seemed to be quite knowledgeable said.

A woman next to her whispered, "Could it be that Lao Yan's daughter-in-law poisoned him?" Look at her...... Young and tender, how can he be willing to live with a black and honest farmer, maybe he has a little white face...... In the end, he poisoned his husband. ”

The little woman's words made everyone present focus their eyes on the face of this old Yan daughter-in-law.

She was still crying quietly. Now when he heard this, he began to weep aloud.

"Village chief, you have to make the decision for me, I'm dead now, men, ...... They're just throwing dirty water on me, I might as well be dead, woo woo woo ......"

She pulled Village Chief Qiao's clothes and began to cry.

"Yoyo, look at it, the man just died, and now he is pulling and pulling with the village chief, it's really shameless." A few more women began to talk in private.

Lao Yan's daughter-in-law cried even more fiercely. She thumped her chest. I want to hit my head to death to show my innocence.

I pulled out a silver needle and stuck it in the broken bowl, and if the man had been poisoned by the hot and sour soup his daughter-in-law, then the rest of the soup must have been poisonous.

Everyone watched my every move curiously, and I pulled out the silver needle. I saw that the place where the silver needle touched the soup was all blackened.

The voices of everyone talking are even louder.

Village Chief Qiao came over to me and Ouyang Deyuan and said, "The two of you must be strangers." ”

I nodded, "Yes." We are strangers passing through this place. It was also a moment of curiosity that I walked in with everyone, and since the village chief felt that we were not good at interfering in the affairs of the village, we left immediately. ”

I grabbed Ouyang Deyuan's arm and was about to leave. was stopped by the village chief.

"Girl, you misunderstood, I ...... I saw the silver needle in your hand, so I want to ask, according to what you see, is this old Yan poisoned to death? He said with a look of eagerness.

I handed him the needle and said, "Yes, there is indeed poison in this soup." But whether this man was really poisoned or not, I'm not sure yet, you'd better go and inform the yamen, and let the yamen send a servant to check it. ”

Ouyang Deyuan didn't want me to get involved in these things.

When he saw that I gave the silver needle to the village chief, he said in my ear: "Lady, it's better to have more things, we have to hurry, or we should leave now." ”

I nodded and said to him, "You're right, let's leave early, I'm really not at ease to lock that old fox in Ouyang Mansion." ”

We turned around to leave, Lao Yan's daughter-in-law grabbed the corner of my clothes, she knelt heavily on the ground, pleaded with tears and snot: "Girl, don't go, you want to return my innocence, Lao Yan and I have been married for many years, we have always been a loving couple, how could I poison him?" Please don't go, you must help me set the record straight. ”

I was embarrassed, I couldn't go at the moment, and I didn't go either.

I picked up the woman and said, "I also believe that you will never poison your husband, but what is the use of me saying it alone?" It's better to wait for the people from the government to come, they will definitely return your innocence. ”

I was about to leave when I heard the woman pointing to the wall and shouting, "Don't go, as soon as you walk out of this gate, I'll kill myself to show my innocence!" ”

Seeing the madness in her eyes, I knew she wasn't joking.

Ouyang Deyuan and I couldn't help but sigh, it seems that it is difficult to leave this time.

I immediately turned back and said, "Okay, okay, let's not go, can you tell us more about what happened at that time?" ”

When the woman saw that I was not leaving, she immediately wiped the tears from her face and said: "Okay, okay, at noon, Lao Yan came back from working on the ground, saying that he was tired and hungry, and wanted to drink a bowl of hot and sour soup, so I went to the back kitchen to cook soup for him, and after cooking, I gave him a big bowl, and after putting the soup in the room, I went to the back to take a bath, and after about a while, I heard Lao Yan's scream." ”

I interrupted her and said, "Are you saying that you cooked a big pot of soup and then served a bowl directly to Lao Yan, and you yourself didn't drink it at all?" ”

Everyone there stared at me, not understanding what I meant by asking.

Village Chief Qiao also looked at me, and he now hoped that I, Ouyang Deyuan, two outsiders, could help him solve the case.

Because it takes four or five days to go to the government, and the government is sloppy, it may not be able to solve the case.

I said to her, "Can you take us to see where you cook the soup?" ”

Lao Yan's daughter-in-law immediately nodded: "Come with me, it's in the back kitchen here." ”

Ouyang Deyuan and I followed her to the back kitchen, and the people who watched the excitement and Village Chief Qiao also followed.

Lao Yan's daughter-in-law pointed to a large pot and said, "Look at some hot and sour soup in it, which I originally left for myself to drink after taking a bath." ”

I inserted the silver needle into the soup again, and when I pulled it out, the silver needle was still black.

The soup in this pot is poisonous!

This old Yan's daughter-in-law's face turned pale.

"Oh hey, my God, what's going on, how can the hot and sour soup I cook with my own hands be poisonous? I'm so wronged! ”

She howled again, and sat on the ground crying.

I looked up and took a good look at her kitchen, and I found that her kitchen was very messy, with little space and a lot of firewood.

I went over to the pyre and looked at it, and noticed a small mark on the ground.

Ouyang Deyuan also saw it, and he immediately asked Lao Yan's daughter-in-law: "Do you usually tidy up this pile of firewood?" ”

Lao Yan's daughter-in-law shook her head and said: "I haven't sorted it out, the firewood was cut back from the mountains by Lao Yan, and it is piled up here every time, and when it is almost used, I will use it again to cut it back from the mountains to make up for it." ”

Ouyang Deyuan nodded and smiled at me, it seemed that he had understood what was going on in this murder case.

I pointed to the beam on the stove and said, "It seems that I know without asking, and you rarely clean up the dust on this beam, right?" ”

Old Yan's daughter-in-law nodded a little embarrassed.

Everyone doesn't understand what Ouyang Deyuan and I are trying to say.
