Chapter 75: The First Ascension
"Don't squeeze! You retreat! ”
"Dude, it's not me squeezing you, it's the people behind squeezing me!"
Early in the morning, there were people outside the yamen of Huai'an Mansion, and when they were about to ascend to the hall, the outside of the yamen was already densely packed, and it was not lost at all to the crowd outside the Laifu Inn yesterday.
Almost all of the cases tried by Yin in Huai'an Prefecture were heard in public.
The door of the government was opened, and the people of Huai'an came to listen.
There were more and more people, and the officials had to take the halberd rack and place it in front of the threshold of the government to prevent the people behind from crowding in.
But the scene is still hot.
"It's coming! Did you see it, someone brought it up, it was the ones in the small cave! ”
"I recognize it, that woman is the shopkeeper of Xiaodongtian!"
"Huh! The corpse also came up! ”
"The one who rushed over was the deceased's relative, as if that was a student of Huai'an Academy!"
"How many of you don't know about yesterday's events? The eldest brother of the deceased blocked the shopkeeper of Xiaodongtian at the Laifu Inn, and the two argued endlessly, and even fought on the street, if it wasn't for Fu Yin to arrive, I am afraid that it would be another homicide case!! ”
"So intense?!"
"A woman can open a shop on Xuefu Road, that's not a vegetarian! I heard that her mouth is a knife! She's not easy! ”
"Bang-"
"Bang-"
After a few sounds, the front of the government immediately became quiet.
"Wu Yiru's case was openly accepted by this government, this is the first time that the court has been promoted, and whoever is in the hall will be named."
There were a number of people standing in the hall in turn, and the officials let them forward one by one.
The first to go up were the families of the deceased.
"Wu Yiru's eldest brother, Wu Chenru." Wu Chenru said after making a gesture: "My brother died tragically, please return justice to Fu Yin and bring the murderer to justice!" ”
As he spoke, Wu Chenru's eyes were tilted behind him.
"The government has its own judgment."
Gu Kaizhi beckoned the next person, and it was Wu Yiru's father and mother who came up.
Then there are the two classmates of Huaiyang Academy, the master and Wu Yiru.
Moreover, the shopkeeper of Qilin Bookstore with a big belly and a grin, as well as the shopkeeper of Hanmozhai who looked nervous, and a shopkeeper of the medicine store on Xuefu Road.
In the end, there are a few people in Xiaodongtian, including Liu Wei.
After introducing their identities, some people said that the incident happened that day.
"After investigation, the deceased Wu Yiru has been to these places that day, if there is any doubt, I can speak again after I finish speaking."
"On that day, as usual, Wu Yiru went to Huaiyang Academy."
"Due to something at the master's house, he ended his schoolwork early and let the students study on their own, and during the lunch break, Wu Yiru went to the Chunji Pharmacy."
"Subsequently, Wu Yiru went to the Qilin Bookstore on Xuefu Road."
"After the Qilin bookstore comes out, enter Hanmo Zhai."
"The last place I went to was Xiaodongtian."
"Wu Yiru ate the meal provided by Xiaodongtian, and soon after, he suddenly fell to the ground, convulsed and foamed at the mouth, and when the government officials arrived, Wu Yiru was already out of breath."
The matter has been clarified, and several people have no questions, and then it is the stage of Fu Yin's questioning.
"When Wu Yiru went out early that morning, he had abnormal behavior, was there anything grotesque about his words?"
Wu Chenru said: "I went to the academy that morning first, and I never saw him. ”
Wu Yiru's father and mother said that Wu Yiru had nothing abnormal that day.
"Wu Yiru was in Huaiyang Academy that day, did he behave abnormally?"
The master said, "He was a little distracted that day, and I reminded him once. ”
A classmate said: "Wu Yiru is distracted from time to time, I asked him a few times, but he only said that what the master said...... Not much interest. ”
When his classmates said this, Wu Chenru suddenly said: "He is talented and intelligent, and he has studied the content of the textbook early!" ”
Someone reminded Wu Chenru to be quiet and tight, and another classmate said: "That day...... There's nothing strange about him, though, I think ...... His face was not very good, I don't know what was uncomfortable, I just heard him say that he was going to go to the Chunji Medicine Store, I still wanted to review, so I didn't go with him, on weekdays, we would go to eat together. ”
"On that day, did Wu Yiru come to Chunji Pharmacy?"
"Return, if you go back to the house, that day, it was the old man who was in the medicine store, and Wu Yiru came to get the medicine, and the old man gave it to him personally."
"What medicine?"
"Some pills to replenish qi and blood, this medicine, he has to come to get it twice a month."
"Why do you need to replenish qi and blood?"
"He has insufficient qi and blood in his body, he is prone to losses, and often has a lack of heat and sleeplessness at night, he has been taking my pills for seven or eight years, and there is absolutely no problem with this medicine!"
Gu Kaizhi asked Wu Yiru's father: "Is there such a thing?" ”
Wu Yiru replied crying: "They all blame me...... Since childhood, I have suffered from a lack of qi and blood, when my son was born, but more than July, less than August, it is not good to play a small body and bones, over the years, the decoction has continued, a few years ago I took the pills of Chunji Pharmacy, and I was a little complex. ”
The official took out a porcelain bottle and asked the shopkeeper of the medicine store to identify it, and the shopkeeper looked at it carefully and put one in his mouth.
"That's right, it's the Chunji Medicine Pill."
And then back.
The shopkeeper of Qilin Bookstore Jia put one hand on his stomach and pointed to the corpse covered with a white cloth with the other: "I don't remember if he came that day, my buddy said that he came, returned the book he borrowed before, and changed it." ”
"What books did you pay back, and what books did you borrow?"
"This ...... I do not know. ”
Then the official presented a tray with two books on it.
"One is "South China Lu", and the other is "Promoting Weaving", the latter in the cloth bag that the deceased carried."
The guy from the Qilin Bookstore came to the hall and said that there was indeed such a thing.
"Why did he go to Hanmo Studio?"
The shopkeeper of Hanmo Zhaiwen bowed his body and kept leaning down to answer: "Wu Xuexue bought paper and pencils." ”
It's the turn of the little cave.
Fangcao and several people answered Fu Yin's questions one by one.
The question was very detailed.
So much so that a few people couldn't answer, but seemed to be stumbling.
At this time, the food of the previous days was served: "The food is indeed poisonous, and it is consistent with what the deceased has not swallowed in his mouth." ”
"Who makes the food?"
"I, I, I did!" Sun Er looked puffed.
"But you poisoned and murdered Wu Yiru?"
"Me? Wu, Wu, Wu...... I don't know him at all! Why, me, why should I...... To kill him? I'm going to kill him, why are you in the shop, I've eaten too much, haven't I?! ”
Sun Ergan's eyes were glaring, but Fangcao's eyes were dry and red.
A few people in Xiaodongtian couldn't say why, that day, there were no suspicious people in the shop, and no one would go to the back kitchen.
"Wu Yiru is just an ordinary student, he has never had a grudge with anyone, there was no dispute that day, and all the evidence points to Xiaodongtian, what is your explanation?"
Gu Kaizhi looked at the shopkeeper of Xiaodongtian.
Liu Wei asked, "Can you let me take a look at the meal?" ”
"No! She's going to cheat! ”
The person who spoke was Wu Chenru, but the official brought the tray over at Gu Kaizhi's signal.
She stirred it a few times with chopsticks and looked at it carefully: "That's right, it's the rice cooked from the rice in my shop, the vegetables are rancid, I can't smell the smell, and it looks like the way it is done in the shop, as for this bowl, it is indeed from the shop." ”
"So, the poison is also in your shop?"
She squinted her eyes and looked at Wu Chenru, who was taking her words: "The motive for killing? ”
