Chapter 10 Castor Oil
The head catcher woke up like a dream, and said: "I understand, the Wang family sells oil cakes, so the silver taels in his hand will definitely bring oil." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info If anyone's silver is put in the water and the oil layer rises on the surface of the water, then he is a prisoner! ā
Zhao's eyes began to float, and sweat oozed from his palms.
Song Qing, who was on the side, said disapprovingly: "Then there is also a person's money bag in front of him, and oil is coming out of the basin, why do you think he is a prisoner?" ā
Lin Qingyuan praised Song Qing's ability to track down the details, and then said: "Okay, then let's take a look at this basin again" After that, he squatted down and flicked the light yellow adhesion layer of the turbid water surface with his hand, and the oil surface began to spread from the center to the four walls of the basin, and the bottom of the water became clear.
"Oh? This piece of oil is sinking to the bottom of the water! The attentive Song Qing found the clue again and said in surprise.
Seeing this, the head catcher also asked, "What's going on?" Isn't oil supposed to float on the water? ā
Lin Qingyuan smiled: "This is an important reason for catching thieves. Wang's ancestors made cakes according to the secret recipe, so the taste of making oil cakes is unique and distinctive. ā
Lin Qingyuan put his hand into the bottom of the basin, dipped his fingers in the grease, put it in front of his eyes and said, "And this secret recipe is that the oil he uses is a little different from the oil that everyone usually uses. It's called castor oil, I'm right, Wang. ā
Wang Shi said in surprise: "That's true, but how do you know, I haven't leaked this secret recipe." ā
Speaking of castor oil, Lin Qingyuan can be said to be familiar with this so-called "secret recipe", and in the forensic examination of the specific time of death of the deceased, castor oil will be added in order to make the blood sink and sink.
But he couldn't say that, so Lin Qingyuan explained: "This castor oil is refined from castor grass, commonly known as hemp seeds. It is a primer of traditional Chinese medicine, easy to grow, and an annual herb. Five feet tall, the stem is erect and glabrous, with a green or slightly purple surface. With ****, monolithic mutual; It has a long stalk and a shield blade. The diameter of the mushroom is about one foot three, the palmate division is less than half of the leaves, the main vein is palmate without a flower disc, and the edge is irregularly serrate. ā
He paused, then continued, "And the oil that has been refined from castor grass is different from ordinary oil. Because it itself is very dense, much more than water. So unlike ordinary oil, he will sink to the bottom. Wang also said that this is an exclusive secret recipe, so the conclusion is that Zhao took advantage of Wang's laxity in selling oil cakes and took the opportunity to steal the money bag. ā
Zhao Zilong's face turned pale suddenly, and he cried out in despair: "My lord, I don't dare anymore, spare my life, my lord." ā
The head catcher said impatiently: "What are you shouting, the crime of theft is not to kill the head, you are still a man." Come on, escort the prisoner Zhao back to the yamen and wait for the delivery. ā
"Yes, sir." A few arrests were ordered quickly, and they were sent back to the yamen with the Zhao family.
The catcher patted Lin Qingyuan's shoulder and smiled: "Okay, little brother, it's not easy to be young." My name is Lei Hu, I am the head catcher of the local county government, and my little brother's surname? ā
Thinking of his ability, Lei Hu was also surprised, if it weren't for Lin Qingyuan, this case would have been sunk into the sea. I decided to thank him well.
Lin Qingyuan said: "Don't have your surname Lin." ā
Lei Hu said in a loud voice: "Okay, Brother Lin, I, Lei Hu, will make you a friend today." I don't know what Brother Lin thinks? ā
Lin Qingyuan saw that Lei Hu was five big and three thick, and knew that he was sincere, so he said: "Qingyuan is honored." ā
"That's good, you can call me Brother Hu'er in the future, and everyone below will call me that. I still have something to do in my yamen, so I'll go to Brother Lin for a drink another day, so I'll leave first. Lei Hu said that he bowed his hand to Lin Qingyuan and left in a hurry.
Song Qing smiled: "Brother Qingyuan is so powerful, he caught the prisoner." ā
Lin Qingyuan said: "If I didn't happen to know castor oil, I wouldn't have caught someone so easily." He walked straight to Wang, handed him the money bag, and said, "Let's see if the number is correct." ā
Wang didn't go to check the money bag, and asked angrily: "Dare to ask how the benefactor knows about castor oil?" ā
Lin Qingyuan smiled and said, "I said that I was the apprentice of Master Xingming, but I had only come into contact with this Chinese herbal medicine by chance. ā
Wang's legs bent and knelt on the ground with a plop: "Thank you benefactor for helping me catch the thief and seek justice for me, I am grateful." ā
Lin Qingyuan was startled, quickly helped him up, and said, "What are you doing, this is just what I should do, how can I accept this big gift?" Get up. Looking at the Wang family who was still wiping his tears, Lin Qingyuan said: "If you really want to thank me, do business steadfastly, and remind you that an appropriate amount of castor oil can reduce swelling and relieve pain, and clear the way; But remember that it is not easy to put more, otherwise it will cause diarrhea and may be poisoned in severe cases. ā
Wang nodded hurriedly, and then left with the basket of cakes.
Song Qing was puzzled: "Are you really the apprentice of the criminal master?" I feel like I know so much. ā
This thing said shamelessly: "How can the master of the criminal name compare with me? I'm better than him. As he spoke, he didn't forget to look at the restaurant where Li Xi'er was, but found that she was already gone, and his heart sank for no reason, hey, this little beauty won't leave, right?
A person squeezed out of the crowd and said, "Qingyuan, why did you come here, I'm looking for you everywhere." "It turned out to be my grandfather.
Song Qing immediately hugged her grandfather and showed off: "Grandpa, you weren't there just now, you didn't see how majestic Qingyuan was, and you actually caught the thief who stole things." My grandfather was also surprised and asked if it was true.
Lin Qingyuan had no choice but to scratch the back of his head in embarrassment, saying that it was just a coincidence. Song Qing is really the master who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.
The theft came to an end, and Lin Qingyuan followed his grandfather and Song Qing to his grandfather's house.
On the road, he learned from Song Qing that Qing'er's grandfather's surname was Qiao, her mother's name was Qiao Cui, and the son of the old man Song met under the introduction of the matchmaker, and finally got married.
The courtyard of Qiao's house was quite wide, and my grandfather led the way to the courtyard, and a woman came out to greet him.
When the woman saw Song Qing, she was overjoyed and said, "Qing'er, why are you here?" Come to Mother. Song Qing ran over very obediently.
The mother and daughter were very happy to see each other, and they started talking. Lin Qingyuan and his grandfather were embarrassed to hang there, and finally Lao Qiaotou spoke: "Xiaocui, this is Qingyuan, my father and you mentioned it." ā
Hearing Lao Qiaotou's words, the woman realized the existence of Lin Qingyuan, and said apologetically: "I messed up when I saw my daughter, don't be surprised." You are Lin Qingyuan, right, come and let me see, I just heard that people outside said that a young man named Lin Qingyuan helped the government solve a theft case. I thought about it, this person can't be you, right? ā
Lin Qingyuan smiled embarrassedly, and even said that it was pure coincidence. Song Qing said restlessly: "That's Brother Qingyuan, mother, Brother Qingyuan's ability is great, and even the famous master can't compare to him." ā
Lin Qingyuan was suddenly embarrassed, his face was like earth, this girl, really which pot to mention.
