Chapter 194: Reuniting after a long absence to resolve grievances
After going through this series of ruffles, Li Mi can finally investigate the case seriously, but this case is so simple that it is clear at a glance, if you follow this volume of information and the confession made by the cook, you can indeed put the blame on Wu Weizhong's head.
Of course, whether there is a motive for deliberately poisoning here, or whether Wu Weizhong himself is not aware of it, but just Lu Wutai's bad luck, it all depends on how the judge defines it.
But after all, this made Li Mi feel very frustrated, and also felt a little unreasonable, if it was really pufferfish poisoning, everyone would eat in the same pot, and Lu Wutai should not be the only one who was poisoned.
Song Zhiwei is the governor of Suzhou Prefecture, and Jiang Bi once knew Jiading County, both of whom often handle cases, and when they saw this perfect dossier, they all sighed a little, and they must have silently accepted this conclusion in their hearts.
However, Li Mi did not give up, since there are still unreasonable places, then this is not the final answer!
Li Mi read the file again and again, took out the corpse grid, and read it again and again, carefully and carefully.
When he saw "death with a wry smile", he became a little excited, because if he died by taking strychnine and other poisons, he would smile wryly, because this kind of toxin can cause muscle stiffness spasms, so it caused a wry smile.
But soon Li Mi was disappointed, because pufferfish is a neurotoxin, which can also cause tonic spasms, and his face will have a wry smile.
Li Mi looked for several other suspicions, and asked about the work on the spot, and the work was also a fluent answer, although he was only a sand man, but because there were Japanese robbers and islands on the sea to commit crimes, some islands or maritime merchants also often had murders.
Sailing is a very dangerous thing, especially in the era when navigation technology is not developed, begging for a living at sea is equivalent to using one's life to ask God for food.
And Chongmingsha contacts the ships coming and going, the island is mixed, the three religions and the nine streams of the island are red-haired ghosts, one by one, they are fierce and fierce, and the murders are frequent, and the experience of this work is also extremely rich.
So Li Mi didn't feel surprised that he was so professional, and after some questions and answers, Li Mi was a little frustrated.
Song Zhiwei also knew that this case was going to be decided like this, so he said to Li Mi: "This case is simple and clear, and this official really can't see anything suspicious, so it's better to stop here today." ”
Although Li Mi had doubts, he couldn't think about it, and everyone had not had to rest since they went to the island, so they could only give up temporarily, let the cook and the cook leave, Song Zhiwei and Jiang Bi also rested, and he repeatedly scrutinized the file and corpse, stayed for a long time, and his brain was a little swollen, so he put down the matter at hand and walked out to breathe.
The wind is clear and drizzly outside, and the sound of the tide can be vaguely heard, the whole world is like a big conch, the ears are full of the sound of the waves, and the rain washes the greasy and crooked sea smell, which makes people feel refreshed and happy.
At this time, Li Mi suddenly came to his senses, it was time to go and see his cheap master!
But before that, he found Qi Chu again, hoping that Qi Chu could go with him to meet Wu Weizhong.
At this time, Qi Chu had already built his beard and hair, changed into clean clothes, and his whole person was refreshed.
Qi Chu was only in his fifties, thinking that he was about the same age as Wu Weizhong, and when he heard Li Mi say that he wanted to take him to see Wu Weizhong, he hesitated for a long time before nodding.
Li Mi had already told him about Wu Weizhong's various hardships, as well as the situation at the time, in that environment, Wu Weizhong could not make a better choice, or even had no choice, on the contrary, it was Wu Weizhong who allowed the Qi family army to survive.
If it was usual, Qi Chu would definitely not forgive Wu Weizhong, but after failing to admit his relationship with Qi Changkong, Qi Chu would be able to understand Wu Weizhong.
The feeling that he has no choice but to bear the misunderstanding and hatred of those closest to him is too aggrieved, and he should not do to others what he does not want to be done, so he also decided to choose to forgive.
Zhao Yanyang also did what he said, when Li Mi and Qi Chu came to the Shasuo prison, the jailer did not have any obstruction and difficulty, but politely led Li Mi into the cell.
Although it was a prison cell, it was dry and clean, and the conditions were not bad, they did not restrain Wu Weizhong's actions, and they still respected Wu Weizhong very much.
Wu Weizhong was also very happy to see Li Mi coming, and when he saw Qi Chu behind Li Mi, the old man suddenly burst into tears, but he didn't dare to face Qi Chu, but turned his head and secretly touched a handful of old tears.
Seeing this, Qi Chu disappeared without a trace of the only bit of mustard in his heart.
He survived on an isolated island and often intercepted and killed the widows, so even if he was in his fifties, he still maintained a strong body, and Wu Weizhong should have been pampered, but his body and physique were no different from Qi Chu, which also made Qi Chu feel very gratified.
Because from such a physical quality, it can be seen that Wu Weizhong has not enjoyed happiness for so many years, but has never forgotten Qi Jiguang's teachings, is still diligent and diligent, and does not dare to slack off.
They are all fierce generals under Qi Jiguang, and they have experienced the same pain, and they have been troubled for half their lives because of the same thing, even if the men are not so sensational, but sitting silently for a while is enough.
Li Mi just waited aside, deliberately hid to the side, and left his private space to these two generals who were over half a hundred years old, and after a long time, he heard the two laugh before returning to the cell.
They may have recalled some interesting things in the past, and the laughter also made the atmosphere more harmonious, and Wu Weizhong even forgot his identity as a prisoner of the stairs.
But Li Mi came back, but he pulled him back to reality.
For Li Mi, Wu Weizhong was grateful, he really appreciated this young man, so he accepted him as an apprentice, and gave him Qi Yin's war knife, not just because of a letter of recommendation from Yuan Keli.
Li Mi took off the sword box on his back, which was given to him by Wang Shizhen, and it was also one of Qi Jiguang's relics.
However, Li Mi didn't come here this time to look back on the past, he thought about it, and decided to ask about the case first, so he said to Wu Weizhong.
"Master, what do you think about Lu Wutai's case?"
Wu Weizhong met the old one, he was already in a good mood, and he got Qi Chu's understanding, and he let go of more than ten years of inner depression, and the whole person was younger, and when he heard this question, he just sighed lightly.
"Then Lu Wutai is unconscious, he is about to lose his life in the wind and waves, the big guy is happy and celebrated, but he is cold and lonely, the old man is also kind-hearted, who thought that he would poison him, can only say that the passing year is not good......"
When Wu Weizhong said this, it seemed that he admitted that he had poisoned Lu Wutai, and Li Mi immediately defended him: "Whether it is the cause of the cerium fish or not has yet to be verified, and the master can no longer bear it indiscriminately." ”
Wu Weizhong waved his hand and said to Li Mi: "The old man has no conflict of interest with him, there is no motive and plot to poison him, if the court expects me to kill by mistake and take away the old man's official position, the old man just unloads this burden, now that Qi Chu is back, and the Qi family army is handed over to him, I am also relieved to ......."
When Li Mi heard this, he couldn't help but suddenly feel that Wu Weizhong was already tired of it, and he had long wanted to disarm and return to the field, so it was no wonder that he didn't make any excuses.
Qi Chu shook his head and said to Wu Weizhong: "Old Wu, your idea is not right, the Qi family army is in your hands, so it can be continued, the younger brother is back today, it is still a question whether the court recognizes it, even if I admit it, with my identity, it is impossible for them to let me take over the ...... of the Qi family army."
Li Mi also felt a little embarrassed, but what Qi Chu said was indeed true, the imperial court would not let the Qi family take over the Qi family's army anymore.
Qi Chu then said to Wu Weizhong: "Old Wu, I also told you that the famous commander Shi Shiyong was the one who led the reserve ship of the Japanese to Pingbosha, and we not only captured these Japanese ......, but also captured an important person, that is, the of Ogasawara."
"Although he is only the illegitimate son of Tokugawa Ieyasu, he is good at drilling camps, and I heard a great news from him, and it is precisely because of this news that I have not handed him and these captives over to Zhao Yanyang and Fan Rongkuan for a few ......."
Wu Weizhong heard this, and couldn't help but be grateful: "It turned out that the brothers intercepted the reserve ship of the Japanese Kou, no wonder their army was disheartened, there was no food stock, if it weren't for the help of the virtuous brothers, we wouldn't be able to achieve such a great victory this time, but what is the news, so important?" ”
Qi Chu looked at Wu Weizhong, and then at Li Mi, who seemed to be a little hesitant, Li Mi saw that his expression was solemn, and when he thought about it again, he couldn't help but feel a tightening heart!
Because he remembered the name Tokugawa Ieyasu, and even remembered Toyotomi Hideyoshi, although he didn't know much about history, he didn't remember the major events of Wanli Nian wrongly, so he asked tentatively at this time.
"It's Japan that wants to attack Korea, right?"
Qi Chuben was still hesitant to say it, after all, Wu Weizhong was a prisoner at the moment, and Li Mi was just a quick catcher, Shi Shiyong told him three times and twice to keep it secret, and even the identity of Ogasawara was not allowed to be revealed for the time being.
Qi Chu had already believed in Li Mi, but he also needed to weigh this kind of big thing, but he didn't expect to be hit by Li Miyi's words!
"You...... And how do you know! ”
Li Mi couldn't help but sigh, saying in his heart that what should have come is still coming, and the war to aid Korea and resist the Japanese in history is about to come after all.
Although he didn't know how to lead troops to fight, he was even more unfamiliar with naval warfare, and with his identity, it was impossible to come into contact with this war, but the war was cruel after all, and although the Ming and North Korea won the final victory, they also suffered heavy casualties.
A few years ago, there was a movie "The Battle of Mingliang", which restored the glorious image of Yi Sunsin, the great hero of North Korea, but now the Bangzi country often boasts, and says that it is not the credit of the Ming Dynasty, it is all because the ancients of their stick country are the best in the world.
But in fact, at that time, North Korea was so backward that it couldn't do it, and there weren't even many decent warships, so it could only ask for help from my Ming Dynasty, and the main battles and decisive battles were all fought with the help of my Ming Dynasty.
In short, after Li Mi confirmed the news, his heart was also extremely heavy, and it was no wonder that Qi Chu wanted to admonish Wu Weizhong, because a fierce general like Wu Weizhong was afraid that he would have to go to the battlefield.
Xu is made Qi Chu arouse his fighting spirit, Xu is thinking that he will go to the battlefield in the future, Wu Weizhong also retracted his mind to return to the field, tried to remember, and after a while, he said solemnly to Li Mi.
"Regarding Lu Wutai, some situations are indeed abnormal, but the old man is not sure ......"
When Li Mi heard this, he couldn't help but be happy!
