Chapter 112, unlock the key to the poisoning of the restaurant

"By the way, if we can arrest Na Tan Zhen as soon as possible, we won't stay in Jixi County for too long, what happened to your restaurant poisoning case?"

Regarding this restaurant poisoning case, it was Shen Mu's restaurant on the official road that moved his compassion and let Liang Baihu take care of this idle matter, and I don't know if Liang Baihu was sharpening him or what, although Liang Baihu also asked about some case developments, but the specific things were still handed over to Shen Mu to do.

Even Han Lin and Meng Yun didn't get involved much.

If before, Shen Mu didn't understand Liang Baihu's thoughts, but now he has basically understood that if there is no result in this case, it will not be a big deal, and it will not expand and cause bad consequences.

But if this case is proven to be an unjust, false and wrongful case, and Shen Mu cracks it and finds the real culprit, then the credit for this case belongs to Shen Mu alone, at least after entering Jinyiwei, this qualification can make up for the shortcomings caused by his background and age.

"If you go back to the adult, the kid will seize the time to find a breakthrough as soon as possible."

"That's good, you should understand what I mean."

"Boy, thank you for cultivating it."

"You and I don't have to be so angry, it depends on whether you kid is angry or not!"

When Shen Mu withdrew from Liang Baihu's room and returned to his small room, he felt that he should hurry up, and he put all the files on the restaurant poisoning case, as well as some of the investigation materials related to Meng Yun handed over to him, including Rong Zhi's, Li Xiaoyou's, and the three tomb robbers who were poisoned, all on the only small table in the room.

He began to flip and look over and over again, trying to find clues in it that he had overlooked.

Just as he was about to turn over the papers of these materials and almost break them, all of a sudden, he stared at the same name of origin in the three case files.

He finally found out what Rong Zhi had in common with Li Xiaoyou, and the three tomb robbers, all three of them turned out to be from Fengyang Mansion, not only from Fengyang Mansion, but also from the same county.

That Li Xiaoyou is from the same county and the same town as that Rongzhi.

It's just that after the flood that year, Li Xiaoyou's family left Fengyang Mansion, and Rong Zhi won the fame, was released as an official, and also left his hometown.

Is this just a coincidence?

Even if it's a coincidence, you can't let it go.

Did Rong Zhi and Li Xiaoyou know each other before?

Maybe this is the key to solving the restaurant poisoning case.

But this is just a conjecture after all, the three of them are fellow countrymen with each other, and they can't prove anything from this, and they can't be used as evidence in court.

To learn more about the relationship between these men, he felt that it was time to go to the old beggar and see if he could get any other useful information from the old beggar's mouth.

It's just that this old beggar that day, Han Lin was handed over to the Jinyi lieutenant named Xiaosi for placement, and he didn't know where he was placed.

However, Han Lin should know.

……

After finding Han Lin and asking where the old beggar was settled, Shen Mu asked Liang Baihu for half a day off, he simply packed up his things, and rode with Xiaosi to a village in a small village below Jixi County.

This Zhuangzi is the Zhuangzi of a distant relative of Xiao Si.

The two of them drove for nearly two hours, and finally arrived at the village.

When I entered the Zhuangzi Gate, I saw the old beggar sitting on a large log stake behind the Zhuangzi Gate to chop wood in a daze.

When they arrived, the afterglow of the setting sun was shining on the old beggar.

The old beggar's outfit was much cleaner than when he saw him at the restaurant on the road that day, and perhaps the people in the Zhuangzi helped him clean it up.

But from him can not feel the infinitely good mood of the sunset, a gust of autumn wind blows, a few autumn leaves swaying down to the old beggar's hair, body, people have a feeling of loneliness for no reason.

"Old Li Tou, Lord Jinyiwei is looking for you." The head of the village on the Zhuangzi looks like an older beggar about the same age, but when you look at the people, their faces are red and smiling, and they look like they have a good life.

"Lord Jinyiwei?" The old beggar's somewhat dull eyes finally raised his head and looked at Shen Mu and the others.

After recognizing Shen Mu and the others, he stood up suddenly, and asked in a hurried tone: "Two adults, can you find out that my son was wronged?" ”

"Lao Li Tou, our Jinyiwei has found out some eyebrows in your son's case, but it will take some time to return your son's innocence, now, I have a few questions to ask you, please answer them seriously."

"This adult, can you really give my son a clean slate?" The old beggar's eyes seemed to have a cluster of fire in them, which brightly made people's hearts palpitate.

"May I ask my uncle, do you recognize the Rongzhi of Jixi County?"

"Yes, of course I do."

"Are you fellow countrymen?"

"Yes, my lord, Lord Rong and Xiao Lao'er are fellow villagers, my family is from Xiaoli Village, and Lord Rong is from Dawang Village, and the two villages are next to each other."

"Before you arrived at Huizhou Mansion, did you have any contact with Lord Narong?"

"I didn't ...... Not...... Coming and going, Lord Rong is a scholar, not a little Lao'er's family can climb high. ”

"Then did your son Li Xiaoyou know Lord Rong when he was in his hometown?" Shen Mu continued to ask.

"This realization...... I should know, but I don't have much to do with it. The old beggar was a little uncertain.

"Then has this Li Xiaoyou ever mentioned something to you about Lord Rong in private?"

"Lord Rong...... The thing? What can Lord Rong do, have you mentioned it, but I really mentioned it, it was not long after Lord Rong took office in Jixi County, we saw Lord Rong on the street, this little one went home and seemed to say, this Lord Rong is from Dawang Village next door, and we are from the same place, I hope Lord Rong can be a good official in Jixi County......"

"Nothing else?"

"Why does the adult keep asking about Lord Rong, could it be that this small case is related to Lord Rong?" The old beggar noticed that Shen Mu had been asking about Rongzhi, and couldn't help but ask rhetorically.

"Think about it carefully, did Li Xiaoyou mention anything else about Lord Rong?" Shen Mu didn't answer, but continued to ask.

"Something else...... Other things, by the way, it was about nine years ago, when Fengyang Mansion had not yet sent big water, one day I went to the mountain early in the morning to chop wood, and when I came back, I seemed to have said that when he was chopping wood on the mountain, he met Lord Rong who was supposed to be studying in the academy, and the clothes and hair on Lord Rong were wet at that time, as if he had been soaked in water, I felt a little strange, and I mentioned it when I came back. ”

"Early in the morning? In the mountains? Clothes are wet? Shen Mu felt that he had finally found the key to open the restaurant poisoning case.
