Chapter 193: Asking about the cause of death is unreasonable
I thought that this quarrel farce, which was reversed several times, could end harmoniously with a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust, but who knew that Li Mi once again played his cards out of common sense, and he was about to dig up the grave and open the coffin!
Seeing that Zhao Yanyang couldn't hold it down, he could only threaten with words in the end, and everyone was also big for a while, so they couldn't watch Li Mi go to dig the grave and open the coffin, right?
Although Lu Wutai is a flamboyant and domineering person, but in the end, the dead are the greatest, which is the moral code of the society at that time, and he is not a heinous person, and he should get the peace he deserves when he dies.
Li Mi's move can be described as shocking, that is, Song Zhiwei and Jiang Bi, both of whom are a little unbelievable, but this is completely inconsistent with Li Mi's style of acting after plotting, Song Zhiwei and Jiang Bi are also thinking, does Li Mi have other plans?
And just when they were slandering each other, and everyone here didn't know how to end it, it was Shi Shiyong who stood up.
He said to Li Mi: "Mr. Li is arrested, digging the grave and opening the coffin in order to investigate the case, this kind of thing is also rare in ancient and modern times, although it is for the investigation to find out, but after all, it is against the peace of heaven, can you investigate from the side first, there is really no clue, and then talk about the matter of opening the coffin?" ”
As soon as Shi Shi used this remark, he was immediately recognized by almost everyone, and Zhao Yanyang, who was a threat of evil words, was also a little pale, and his eyes were full of expectation.
Li Mi only frowned, and said to Shi Shiyong: "Lord Commander, you have also seen it with your own eyes, we have been suppressed since I landed on the island, if I follow the rules to investigate the case, what can I find?" ”
"With all due respect, there is nothing to be done in the next place, so I made this decision, if Mr. Fan and Mr. Zhao Qian excused themselves to shirk, the case was not clear, and they refused to cooperate with the investigation, there was some ambiguity here, and there was some obstruction, how can this case be investigated?"
"Since you have the intention to push, you don't want to be cheeky, you can only make this decision, if everyone here sincerely cooperates, why should I do the thunder and thunder of the sky?"
When Shi Shiyong heard this, he couldn't help but glance at Li Mi, and they both saw what the other party meant, Shi Shiyong looked at Zhao Yanyang again, and the latter didn't need to remind him, and hurriedly said to Li Mi.
"As long as you don't think about digging up the grave and opening the coffin, you can cooperate as you want, you will give the file if you want it, you will give it to the testimony if you want to testify, who do you want to summon, Ben Qian will immediately detain you, so you should be satisfied, right?"
Song Zhiwei heard this, his heart suddenly tightened, he glanced at Jiang Bi, the latter also had the same exclamation in his eyes, and he finally solved the confusion in Shicai's heart!
It turned out that Li Mi really had another plan, from the beginning he didn't plan to dig up the grave and open the coffin, everything was just to force Zhao Yanyang to make such a statement, so that Zhao Yanyang could support him in investigating the case!
Li Mi already knew that after so many disputes, he had offended Fan Rongkuan, Zhao Yanyang and others, and it was impossible for these people to obediently cooperate with their investigation, so Li Mi would use the grave digging to open the coffin to take the lead!
Shi Shiyong obviously saw through Li Mi's thoughts, so he came forward to reconcile as a peacemaker, and under the hint, Zhao Yanyang really compromised and said that he would definitely cooperate with Li Mi, on the condition that Li Mi would no longer dig up the grave and open the coffin!
In fact, Shi Shi was also amazed in his heart, Li Mi is well versed in people's hearts, and this method of agitating the generals who want to promote and suppress is really beautiful!
This is just like the marketing strategy of raising the price first and then discounting it in later generations, raising the price significantly, and then discounting it significantly, so that consumers will feel that they have earned even if they also suffer a loss.
If Li Mi asked for cooperation from the beginning, it was obviously impossible, neither Fan Rongkuan nor Zhao Yanyang would provide the slightest help.
After the extreme method of exhuming the grave and opening the coffin can be used, the situation is different, because it is much easier to cooperate with the investigation than to dig the grave and open the coffin.
Moreover, this is the mediation proposed by Shi Shiyong, how Zhao Yanyang has to buy this face, and in the end, he has to read Shi Shiyong's favor, although he has suffered a loss, but he has to secretly rejoice in his heart, this loss is worth it, if he really lets Li Mi dig the grave and open the coffin, it will be really bad for himself!
At first, Zhou Yu also thought that Li Mi was angry, deliberately using the grave digging to open the coffin to annoy himself, and was also suspected of deliberately disrupting his own calculations, but now that he sees this, he knows that Li Mi has calculated Zhao Yanyang fiercely!
Because the matter of digging up the grave and opening the coffin is too shocking, no matter how far-sighted Zhou Yu is, he is also imprisoned by the ancient thoughts and cannot get out, so naturally, like everyone else, it is difficult to detect Li Mi's intentions.
But Shi Shiyong is different, he sails on the sea, and he comes into contact with savages who are not educated and have no legislative constraints or red-haired ghosts from various countries, and he is used to things like digging graves and opening coffins or cremation and sea burials, so he can see that Li Mi is just bluffing.
Zhao Yanyang vowed to fully cooperate with Li Mi, and Li Mi naturally stopped mentioning the excavation of the tomb and opening the coffin, Zhou Yu was also counted by Li Mi, but he didn't stop it for a while, so everyone went to participate in the wind and dust washing banquet.
Li Mi, Song Zhiwei and Jiang Bi naturally wouldn't go, Qi Chu was upset because Qi Changkong refused to recognize him, plus they hid on an isolated island and didn't like to socialize with people.
Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, with Shi Shiyong in front of them, they didn't dare to embarrass Li Mi and others, and even some people wanted to please Shi Shiyong, so they arranged a place for Li Mi and others, and also sent clothes to Qi Chu and others.
Li Mi asked Qi Chu and other 19 people to imprison Ogasawara and other Japanese prisoners, and then asked them to deal with their personal image, but he and Song Zhiwei and Jiang Bi and others were busy.
Although Zhao Yanyang had already said hello, there were not many materials and witnesses presented to Li Mi.
The dossier is only three or five pages, and the witnesses are a servant of the Sha Institute and the third sister of the cook, Qiu Sanjie.
Li Mi knew that this was not Zhao Yanyang's intention to make it difficult, but that this case was originally very simple, and it could be said to be clear at a glance.
According to the statement in the file, Lu Wutai only learned that he was seasick when he went to sea, and he was in a state of confusion all day, and naturally he could not lead his troops to fight, so he became more and more distressed.
After the victory, the soldiers began to simply celebrate the achievement, Lu Wutai was distressed for days, fatigue, taste disorder, tea and rice did not eat, and second, he did not participate in the battle, and he was ashamed, but did not participate in the celebration banquet.
Wu Weizhong is a general knowledge, so he asked the cook Qiu Sanjie to send the food to Lu Wutai, but he didn't expect that after Lu Wutai ate, he died that night, and when he was found the next day, everyone was already hard.
Everyone went over to check, and found that Lu Wutai's whole body was spasmodic and stiff, his face was cyanotic, and he was suspected of being poisoned.
This cerium is the pufferfish of later generations, which can be called the most tempting and dangerous fish.
Pufferfish meat is delicious, but the ovaries and liver are very toxic, and it is also a neurotoxin, and there will be various violent reactions soon after poisoning, and if the rescue is not timely, it will soon die.
Even in the medical environment and conditions of later generations, people often died of poisoning due to eating pufferfish, but even so, there are still many people who cannot resist the temptation of food.
We Chinese are a country of eating, is not wronged at all, even if later generations have popularized all kinds of common sense that pufferfish are poisonous, the government has also banned sales, but there are still many people secretly to eat, there is also a proverb in the southern region, called fighting to the death to eat turtle fish, turtle fish is pufferfish.
The ancients were no strangers to cerium and knew the toxicity of cerium, but the coastal people had the habit of eating cerium, and the sailors who were at sea all year round were unwilling to miss such a delicacy.
They know that the internal organs and blood of the cerium fish may be poisonous, so they will make it very clean, and there are many varieties of cerium fish, and they think that the more colorful the cerium fish, the more toxic it is, so the veterans who know how to eat the white cerium with a very light color.
In any case, after these people found the cerium fish, they asked about it, and naturally they wanted to find out about Qiu Sanjie's head, and Qiu Sanjie was a lowly cook, and she had already been scared stupid, so she confessed on the spot that Wu Weizhong asked her to deliver food to Lu Wutai.
This sea voyage should not have taken women, but this expedition is a big man, the lucky ship is almost the same as a second or third floor, and there are living quarters in it, and what should be enjoyed is still to be enjoyed.
Those delicate women can't stand the wind and sun, and they will mess up the morale of the army, it is really not appropriate to bring them on the boat, but it is normal for elderly women to bring a few to cook.
After getting Qiu Sanjie's confession, everyone came over to question Wu Weizhong, Wu Weizhong didn't expect such a thing to happen, and there was not much argument about it.
Maybe he was out of good intentions, or maybe it was just etiquette concern, in any case, it was a fact that Lu Wutai was poisoned and died, and Fan Rongkuan and others took the opportunity to fall into the well, so they arrested Wu Weizhong.
As for Wu Weizhong's jealousy of Lu Wutai's desire to fight for merit, it is complete nonsense, Lu Wutai has been seasick for days and almost lost his life, where can he compete with Wu Weizhong for credit, it is just nonsense.
The facts of the case can be said to be clear at a glance, and the answer between the cook Qiu Sanjie and the servant is also consistent with the file, and the description of the facts is also very clear, as if there is no doubt at all.
After Song Zhiwei interrogated Qiu Sanjie and Qi Zuo, he also sighed a little helplessly, and said in his heart that Wu Weizhong was also unlucky, after all, cerium fish is a kind of fish often eaten by coastal people, and no one expected this kind of thing to happen.
However, Li Mi was still skeptical, because he knew that even if Wu Weizhong was in a high position, he also adhered to the fine style of Qi Jiajun and lived a very simple life.
When he was in Wu Weizhong's mansion, he had already experienced Wu Weizhong's simple style of life, but he also knew that Wu Weizhong's only hobby was this pufferfish, and he even ate it once at Wu Weizhong's house.
He had seen Wu Weizhong clean up the cerium fish, and this old general paid special attention to the details, from the selection of pufferfish, to cleaning, to cooking, all with care, and even the internal organs of pufferfish would not be broken.
Wu Weizhong, a person who loves soldiers like a son, must have a share in everyone when he celebrates, that is to say, the same pot of pufferfish, he ate it, the soldiers also ate it, and Lu Wutai also ate it, if it was really poisonous, why did he just poison Lu Wutai, and no one else showed signs of poisoning?
Although pufferfish toxin may penetrate into the muscles of pufferfish, but usually, it is a dead fish that has been stored for a long time before this situation occurs, and Wu Weizhong never eats dead fish.
This is obviously a bit counterintuitive!
