After Yang Qiuchi, Hong Aya, and Yang Tashan sat down. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoYang Qiuchi asked Die: "Did your family have any diseases before they were born?" ”

"Back to the eldest master, the husband of the prisoner has not been in very good health before his death, he is relatively weak, and he often suffers from wind and cold, so most of the things at home are done by me. The three children have always been in good health and have never had any serious illnesses. ”

"What about the man you used to be? How are they physical? ”

Die thought for a while: "It's not bad, there are no special symptoms." ”

"And what were the symptoms before they died?" Yang Qiuchi continued to ask.

Recalling the past is always painful, Di Die's expression was gloomy, and after thinking for a while, he slowly said: "I married three men successively, all of whom died within a few years, and before I died, I was all vomiting and rolling on the ground, and I couldn't last two days, and then I died." At first, I only thought it was an accident, but later, I married one and died, and I wondered if I really had any luck, and finally this time, not only killed my man, but also killed my three children......"

The butterfly sobbed and cried.

Yang Qiuchi was not in a hurry, and waited for her to gradually calm down, and then asked, "What did you three men eat before they died?" ”

Shu Die said: "My last man, before he died, ate rabbit meat dumplings, the first two ...... It's been so long that I can't remember it clearly. ”

"Then tell me about the process this time."

"That day, the village Zhengbaiqian sent us a few hares, I took one and stir-fried, and chopped the rest of the stuffing, and made rabbit dumplings for them to eat. After eating, in the evening, my father-in-law and the three children said that they had a stomachache, and then their faces were pale, vomiting and diarrhea, and rolling on the ground, so I hurried to the village to find Langzhong, and when I invited Langzhong to come, the four of them were already convulsive and delirious. When it was dawn, he died one after another......" After the butterfly finished speaking, tears flowed down again.

"What did Lang Zhong say?" Yang Qiuchi asked.

"Lang Zhong said that he ate something unclean to do this, but later the patriarch said that I was poisoned, because I was alone, they ate in the same pot with me, and they died."

"Think about it again, did the two men in front of you also die after eating hare meat?"

Die lowered her head and thought for a while, then shook her head affirmatively: "No, eating hare meat is something I did after I married into Baijia Village, and our family has never eaten hare meat before that." ”

"Then what staple foods do you usually eat?"

"Rice, noodles, and a meat-filled dumpling on New Year's Day."

"What kind of noodles are dumpling wrappers? Is it leavened rice noodles? Yang Qiuchi's brows furrowed.

"Yes, it turns out that adults are also very good at farm work."

Yang Qiuchi said: "Tell me how your leavened rice noodles are made?" ”

Die explained the production process in detail, and at the end, he asked suspiciously, "Is there a problem with this?" My mother taught me to do this since I was a child, and we have eaten for many years, and nothing has happened. ”

Yang Qiuchi shook his head and sighed softly: "I'm afraid this is the price of ignorance!" He stood up: "Okay, Shan'er, we need to go to Baijia Village again." Let's go! ”

Out of the cell, Yang Tashan asked Yang Qiuchi: "Father, why do you want to go to Baijia Village?" ”

"It is estimated that there is a problem with the dumpling skin of the rabbit dumplings, and it may be food poisoning."

Yang Tashan patted his head: "Yes, why didn't I think of it." ”

Hong Aya smiled and deliberately teased him: "You, when you see that butterfly girl, your eyes are straight, where do you think about this." ”

"How can I be! I only like to be ......, hehe, anyway, I don't like this butterfly girl. ”

"That's it! Your sixth aunt is teasing you! Yang Qiuchi said with a smile.

The entourage had already prepared the horses, the three of them got on the horses, took Cheng Ziqin and the crowd to catch quickly, and the group returned to Baijia Village in a mighty way.

found the patriarch to explain his intentions, and the patriarch hurriedly led Yang Qiuchi and his party to the Die's house.

After opening the door, I found leftover rabbit dumplings on the kitchen shelf.

Yang Qiuchi personally conducted the test, and as a result, in the dumpling skin of the dumplings, the flavonobacter exotoxin A of fermented rice flour was detected.

Yang Tashan had never encountered this bacterium in the process of studying forensics with his father Yang Qiuchi, so he didn't know about it.

Yang Qiuchi explained: "Kill the husband and the three children, is this kind of poisonous dumpling skin, just now after listening to the butterfly said her process of making dumplings, I suspected, this kind of case I have only encountered two cases before, very rare, because it often occurs in the exclusive single household, so it is often suspected of poisoning and killing cases, in fact, this is a kind of bacterial poisoning, people like Diedie, do not have the ability to poison and kill with bacteria, so, it should be an accident." ”

"Bacterial poisoning? How does this bacterium get into the wrappers? Yang Tashan asked.

"Northwest people make dumpling skins, generally use fermented rice noodles, that is, corn, millet or other coarse grains are soaked in water for more than ten days or one or two months, and then washed, refined, filtered, precipitated, dried into dough, and then made into dumpling skins, the production process itself is not a problem, but because the natural environment is widely distributed Pseudomonas coconut, and the made leavened rice noodles are very suitable for the growth of this fungus, so it is easy to be contaminated by this fungus, and under the appropriate temperature and other conditions, It can produce a large amount of rice fermented acid and toxin, which are highly toxic, so they are highly toxic. ”

Yang Tashan said: "Don't noodles and dumplings have to be boiled in boiling water, father, didn't you say that high temperature can be sterilized?" ”

Yang Qiuchi shook his head: "This is not an ordinary bacteria, whether it is fried or boiled at high temperature, it can't kill this toxin." Once poisoned, the mortality rate is extremely high, gastrointestinal symptoms will appear first, and at most within a day or two, it will cause damage to the internal organs and the surname, and finally die due to liver encephalopathy, poisoning encephalopathy or acute renal failure. ”

Yang Tashan stuck out his tongue: "Then I won't dare to eat dumplings in the future!" ”

"Then you don't have to waste food because of choking," Yang Qiuchi said with a smile, "However, we'd better not use leavened rice noodles as dumpling wrappers, hehe." ”

"If fermented rice noodles are poisonous, why do so many people still eat them?"

"So I say, this is the price of ignorance, because the occurrence of this highly toxic bacterial contamination is very accidental, and the probability of occurrence is relatively low, so it is often not taken seriously. Once poisoned, the whole family often dies, so it is often mistaken for someone who deliberately poisoned it. ”

Yang Tashan said: "Then we have to remind the villagers of Baijia Village that they should pay attention to the ...... when making fermented rice noodles in the future."

Yang Qiuchi shook his head and said: "No matter how careful you are, it is not easy to prevent it, it is best not to eat fermented rice and noodles." Okay, let's go to the coffin for an autopsy to see if the cause of death of the deceased is in line with what I said, and if so, the case will be solved. ”

The group came to the cemetery of the husband and the children of the butterfly, and opened the coffin for an autopsy.

This time, there were no onlookers from the villagers, the whole Baijia Village was shrouded in a very dull atmosphere, and there was no longer the scene of men and women weaving and children playing, and six people had died in a few days, and the people in the yamen came almost every day, everyone from the initial novelty to the later fear and then numbness, and the village was just a few people working in the fields, and no one looked at these officers and soldiers who went to the cemetery, as if they had nothing to do with them.

The sky was overcast, as if it was going to rain, Yang Tashan remembered the situation of seeing Qu Mei's corpse that day, and he became a little depressed.

After the coffin was opened, Yang Qiuchi personally conducted an autopsy. Sure enough, the cause of death was completely consistent with Yang Qiuchi's previous judgment.

Yang Tashan said again: "Father, this butterfly has married three men successively, according to what the butterfly said, the symptoms before death are almost the same, is it also from this fermented rice flour flavonobacter toxin?" ”

"It should be, the two men in front of her have been dead for many years, and the bodies are estimated to have been ossified, and there is no way to test, so we can only speculate from the symptoms that they also died of this highly toxic bacterial poisoning. From what the girl said in the cell just now, you can know that this method of making dumpling wrappers was taught to her by her mother, she has done this since she was a child, and she has never had an accident, this is the accidental surname of fermented rice flour poisoning, some people are fine after eating it all their lives, and some people die after eating it once. She married the two men in front of her, and she also made meat-stuffed dumplings for them to eat, but she didn't eat meat, and she escaped the three poisoning incidents. ”

Yang Tashan sighed: "Although she escaped death, she was regarded as a god of death, and she has never had a good life, which can be regarded as karma." ”

Yang Qiuchi shook his head and said: "No, this matter has nothing to do with her, it is caused by this ignorant eating habits, it is an accidental accident, and she should not be held responsible for this." When I go back, I will tell you Governor Han to let her go. ”

"Yes! Father. Yang Tashan bowed.

Back in Qingyang Mansion, Yang Tashan told Cheng Ziqin about the investigation of the case, and the two reported to the Han Governor's Mansion together.

Han Governor now knows that Yang Tashan is the eldest son of Yang Qiuchi, the veteran of the Ming Dynasty, even if Yang Tashan doesn't tell the truth of the case and says it, Han Governor doesn't dare to say half a word. What's more, Yang Tashan said the truth, although the Han Governor heard it in a fog, he still nodded again and again and praised Yang Tashan for solving the case like a god, and immediately ordered the acquittal of Shu Die.

Yang Tashan went to the cell and brought Die out and told her the truth of the investigation, and Die knew that it was the dumpling skin she made that killed her three husbands and three children, and she collapsed on the ground weakly, crying bitterly.

Before the release, Yang Tashan had already sent someone to inform Bai Yuefeng of Baijia Village, Bai Yuefeng was already waiting at the entrance of the yamen, seeing this scene, he stepped forward to help the butterfly up.

With tears on his face, he knelt down and kowtowed to Yang Tashan three times, thanking him for hanging the mirror high, solving the case, and returning his innocence.

Yang Tashan smiled bitterly in his heart, if it wasn't for his father Yang Qiuchi, if it wasn't for his father, Yang Qiuchi would not have been able to handle it at all.

After seeing them go away, Yang Tashan came to the Qingyang Mansion Post Station and reported to his father Yang Qiuchi that the bizarre murder case in Baijia Village had been completed.
