Chapter 174: Arsenic in Mutton
Pang Xiude's hurried exit made the three plaintiffs mutter, and they vaguely felt that they had made a mistake in taking the job.
"Yuxin, can you bring a few guys back with you?" Li Mingyuan suddenly spoke.
"Slow, Captain Li, this jade-hearted girl is the shopkeeper of this store, we still have to try the case, I'm afraid she won't be able to leave!" Chu Xuewen opened his mouth and rejected Li Mingyuan's request.
"Oh, that's right, forget it, I wanted her to go back and see if the calligraphy and paintings of the famous artists in the store are still there. Since the adults still have to try the case, then forget it! Li Mingyuan shook his head regretfully.
"Huh! That's it! Then go for it, go for it! Chu Xuewen was already frightened by Li Mingyuan. Thinking that this was originally an unjust case, the so-called trial was just a walk-through, and it made no difference if this beautiful shopkeeper was not there. Of course, this girl looks sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed, and if she is not there, her burden will be lighter.
Seeing that Chu Xuewen agreed, Li Mingyuan did not hesitate, and directly asked Yuxin to take his men back to the store first. Before leaving, he took Yuxin's hand and said, "You know what calligraphy and paintings are in the store, and which ones will be less, you also know!" ”
"Brother Li, don't worry, I understand!" Yu Xin smiled evilly, and led people away with understanding.
The case has reached this point, and it can indeed be said that there is no most funny, only more funny. The main ones are gone, and the unrelated ones are left staring at each other.
"My lord, may I ask the plaintiff?" Looking at the three plaintiffs, Li Mingyuan smiled happily as if he had seen three fat sheep.
Chu Xuewen on the stage wiped his cold sweat and said. "Yes, yes! Just ask! "It's as if Li Mingyuan is the county order.
"Dare to ask the three plaintiffs. Did you eat hot pot together at the Four Seasons Hot Pot Restaurant? Li Mingyuan walked leisurely.
"Yes, sir!" Gao Dahai nodded.
"What is that for, your companions have been poisoned? But you don't have anything to do? Li Mingyuan asked.
"Because we didn't eat the dish he ate!" The high sea does not change color.
"Which dish is it?"
"Lamb!"
"What about the dish?"
"It was put away as evidence by the county!"
After a battle, Gao Dahai's answer can be said to be leaky, and Li Mingyuan simply didn't find any loopholes in it.
"Captain Li, what did you ask?" Chu Xuewen said a little impatiently.
"Back to my lord, I haven't gained anything for the time being!" Li Mingyuan said with some frustration.
Chu Xuewen nodded expressionlessly, patted the shocked wooden road, "Come here, pass on the work and witness!" "Obviously, fear in the heart is fear. But Chu Xuewen still has to sit down on this case, after all, he is also involved. It's a big deal, and there will be a chance to compensate Li Mingyuan in the future.
As soon as Chu Xuewen's words fell, a middle-aged man in a cloth shirt and a few officials quickly entered the lobby, and after kowtowing to Chu Xuewen respectfully, they got up to reply.
"Are you witnesses and puppeteers?" Chu Xuewen said with a frown.
"Go back to my lord, I am Zhao Kang below!"
"It's going to be an adult, and the little one is catching Tian Liu!"
"Go back to the adult, the small one is to catch Sun Fu quickly!"
Because it happened suddenly, and because there were no people present at that time. The first to arrive at the scene were the work and the catch. So I chose a few of them as witnesses.
After glancing at Li Mingyuan, Chu Xuewen nodded and continued, "Well, okay. Tell me about the scene! ”
"Yes, sir!" Zhao Kang is obviously the head of the three, as soon as Chu Xuewen finished speaking. And he began to talk.
"When we received a report of the crime, the huge people immediately rushed us to the scene of the crime. That is, a hot pot restaurant. When we arrived at the scene. It was found that the poisoned man had foamed at the mouth and had a rash all over his body. The expression is extremely hideous. There was no breath left. According to the small test, it should have been poisoned to death, and it was extremely painful in front of him, so the death was so hideous! ”
In terms of autopsy, Zhao Kang is obviously an expert. After all, it's someone who often deals with dead bodies. As soon as he finished speaking, many people were immediately terrified. Although everyone did not see how the guy who was poisoned died. But when I heard Zhao Kang say it, I suddenly felt an indescribable sense of horror. Even Chu Xuewen, who had read the sage book for so many years, felt inexplicably depressed in his heart.
"It's the same thing we saw!" The two of them also nodded again and again, agreeing with what Zhao Kang said. The confessions of the three witnesses made Li Mingyuan embarrassed all of a sudden. In recent years, the verdict of the case is about human and physical evidence, and with human and physical evidence, it is not you who did it, but you who did it, and you are completely intolerable to refute it.
Syllable! Chu Xuewen slapped the shocked wood again, and glared at the three of them with authority, "Is what you said true?" ”
"It's true!"
"Okay, come on, let them sign and draw!" Chu Xuewen nodded, and the little official who was in charge of recording on the side handed the testimony to the three of them, and the three of them also signed and signed very quickly, just like that, the hot testimony came out.
With the human evidence, the next thing is the physical evidence, and another official came up with a tray, and a dish inside was covered with a cloth, and it was supposed to be the sheep's head that poisoned the man.
"My lord, this is the physical evidence I found in the hot pot restaurant!" He bowed his head and said,
"What is this?" Chu Xuewen frowned and said in disgust.
"Poisoned mutton!" He said indifferently.
"Okay, okay, take it down, what do you fight to conclude that this is poisonous mutton?" Chu Xuewen waved his hand in disgust, and asked the official to stand aside with a tray and ask.
He was very experienced, "Adults will find a dog and try it!" ”
After thinking about it slightly, Chu Xuewen agreed to the suggestion, and soon, a poor dog was brought up.
"My lord, can you start?" Zhao Kang asked Chu Xuewen for instructions.
"Yes, yes, let's get started!" Chu Xuewen nodded, and began to observe with interest.
Soon, Zhao Kang took out a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of mutton and threw it on the ground. The dog that smelled the smell pounced excitedly, but after pounced in front of the mutton, the dog hesitated, sniffed left and right, but did not eat, which made everyone disappointed.
"What's going on? What don't dogs eat? Chu Xuewen said in a somewhat reproachful tone.
"Oh no, could it be that you have been soaking in arsenic water for too long!" Zhao Kang also chuckled in his heart.
"Eh, this, this, maybe the mutton is too poisonous!" Zhao Kang, who had always thought that the victory was in his hands, was a little panicked, wiped his cold sweat and said.
"Lamb is too poisonous?" Everybody is messy.
"Well, probably!" Zhao Kang felt that he was a pig, completely stupid to death.
Li Mingyuan, who has always been a bystander, really can't stand it, he doesn't know if Lu Dao Chu Xuewen is really stupid or fake. Of course, it is also possible that you are stupid to read books, and you don't see so many loopholes?
"I'm sorry, excuse me, my lord, I have a few words I want to ask Zhao Yanzuo, is it okay?" Li Mingyuan got up again and said.
"Well, yes, yes!" Chu Xuewen nodded. "Thank you, sir!"
Li Mingyuan was about to make another move, and the atmosphere in the county government became tense again. The onlookers felt that they almost came to watch the big show with melon seeds and peanuts.
"Zhao Kang, right?" Li Mingyuan stepped forward and patted his shoulder.
"Yes!" Zhao Kang felt as if he was being targeted by a hungry wolf, and a trace of vigilance rose in his heart.
"Oh, that, can you lend me your physical evidence?" Li Mingyuan pointed to the plate of mutton that dogs didn't eat.
"This? This is not in accordance with the regulations! Of course, Zhao Kang would not show the mutton to others, especially this person who seemed to be different from him.
"Really? Does my Dahua law stipulate this? In Li Mingyuan's subconscious, it seems that this article is not stipulated in the law.
Chu Xuewen on the stage also recited the Dahua Law backwards, closed his eyes, meditated for a while, and then opened his wise eyes and said, "Well, this official thought about it, there is no such provision in the Dahua Law, Zhao Kang will give the physical evidence to Captain Li!" ”
"This, this, Zhao Kang is quite embarrassed. But the county order spoke, and he couldn't shirk it, so he had to reluctantly say, Lord Li, you can see it, but please don't find a way to destroy the physical evidence, otherwise! ”
"What if not? Are you biting me or killing me? "Li Mingyuan is a wild person, he has always threatened others, when has he been threatened by others, especially a small trick. This is going to get out, how can he mix it up?
Unceremoniously took the physical evidence of mutton from Zhao Kang's hand, and in the eyes of everyone who were surprised, curious, or gloating, Li Mingyuan gently sniffed the mutton on the plate. A pungent smell of arsenic hits your face.
"I'm rubbing, how much arsenic did this guy spill?" Li Mingyuan was smoked very lightly, although he would not be poisoned by smelling the smell, he would still have a strong sense of discomfort.
"Captain Li, what's wrong, is there anything wrong?" Chu Xuewen couldn't help but be curious when he saw Li Mingyuan with a thief smile on his face.
"Lord Hui, there seems to be something wrong with this physical evidence!" Li Mingyuan held the tray high.
"Oh, for what?" Chu Xuewen said with interest.
Li Mingyuan smiled but didn't answer, and walked around the crowd with a tray, and a smell of arsenic emanated out, and everyone involuntarily covered their noses.
"What's going on?" Seeing the crowd in chaos, Chu Xuewen hurriedly patted the shocking wooden road.
"Lord Hui, this mutton has a strong smell of arsenic!" An ordinary man said boldly.
"Huh? How could there be such a thing? "Chu Xuewen heard of arsenic-flavored mutton for the first time. But then he reacted again, "Captain Li, this is normal!" Didn't Zhao Kang say it? This mutton is physical evidence, and it is poisonous. So it's normal to smell of arsenic! ‘
After all, Chu Xuewen is a county order, and his words are still very authoritative. Especially Zhao Kang, he was even more ecstatic when he heard this, and knelt down directly excitedly, "Lord Qingtian is wise and martial, and he is like a god in judging cases, and he admires the little one!" In fact, the arsenic in this mutton is the direct cause of death! (To be continued......)
