12. The cause of Lu Fugui's death
When everyone entered the house, Lu Fugui's body stopped on the main hall, and covered the longevity list of Fu Shou Shuangquan, it seems that the housekeeper who can't afford to be compared to the audience is still doing things in an orderly manner.
After paying homage to the deceased, he stepped forward and began to examine the body.
When they opened the life list, everyone saw at a glance that the skin of the deceased's body was blue, especially the fingertips and lips, which looked blue and purple, and even showed signs of abscesses.
Zhao Shuang glanced at it and determined the cause of death, which was obviously death caused by nitrite poisoning, as for whether it was man-made or accidental, it was necessary for Dad to investigate.
However, listening to the discussions of others, although his father is diligent and loves the people, he is really not good at investigating cases.
Maybe my father is so poor, because the investigation is unfavorable, and he refuses to be confused, so that there are too many headless cases under his rule, and it is difficult to say whether he has been fined.
Everyone was watching the excitement, Zhao Shuang quietly came out of the main hall, and Rou Niang hurriedly followed.
Zhao Shuang: "What are you doing with me?" ”
Rou Niang: "I ate your nest head, and I will work for you today." ”
She's really a sincere girl.
Zhao Shuang: "Then let's go to the kitchen and have a look." ”
Rou Niang smiled: "Why did you think of a place with me, there must be a lot of delicious food in the rich family's kitchen, even if you can't eat it, it's good to be able to take a look at it and relieve your cravings." ”
Standard foodie.
Zhao Shuang frightened: "There may be delicious food in the kitchen of Lu Laosan's house, but do you dare to eat it?" Lu Laosan may not have eaten something and became an avatar. ”
Rou Niang was so frightened that she covered her mouth in fright, she didn't want to be like Lu Laosan, she couldn't be at peace when she died, and she was pretended to be moved around, although she didn't know what the avatar in Miss Shuang'er's mouth was.
The two walked to a corner of the courtyard and heard a voice from there: "Sister Xiaolian, you are back, Lord Zhao has already come to our house." ”
Another woman gasped and said, "Madame has been imprisoned, I gave the cell boss some money, but they refused to let me go to prison to accompany Madame, what should I do?" ”
The first girl to speak said: "What can I do, Mrs. was really sentenced to death, we are finished, Second Master Lu came to the house to find the master yesterday, and saw that I was still that fascinated, if this business is taken by Second Master Lu, will we still have our days?" Poor lady is such a good person, she must not be the master killed by the lady, how could the lady kill the master? Lord Zhao is really mediocre! ”
The girl named Xiaolian hurriedly said: "Pei'er, don't talk nonsense about Lord Zhao, Lord Zhao just put his wife in prison first, and the case has not been clarified." ”
The girl named Pei'er sneered: "Find out, Sister Xiaolian is still counting on Lord Zhao to find out the case?" Since Lord Zhao came to our Lanfeng County to take office, how many of his subordinates have no heads? I heard that because of this, Lord Zhao was also fined Yulu! ”
Zhao Shuang thought deeply about this Pei'er girl's words, otherwise she would not be able to explain that the head of a county was poor like that!
Xiaolian said: "Shhh, be quiet, don't say that about Lord Zhao, beware of being heard, the adults and the officials are in the main hall!" ”
Well, what do you do if you hear it? Zhao Shuang hurriedly pulled Rou Niang, who wanted to rush over to reason with others, and quietly retreated and returned to the main hall.
Rou Niang: "Why don't you go to the kitchen?" ”
Zhao Shuang: "Rou Niang, listening to others talk about my father, is it different from what you and your mother say?" "Rou Niang and her mother said that Lord Zhao is like a god in judging the case.
Rou Niang immediately looked adored and said, "Of course Lord Zhao is like a god in solving the case!" My mother said that other county magistrates are afraid that the headless case will affect their political performance, no matter whether the case is really investigated or not, they will announce the investigation, and it is common to create unjust, false and wrongful cases and wrongful people. And like Lord Zhao, he would rather take the blame himself and leave a mess of headless cases, and never wronged a good person, is a good official who really judges cases like a god! ”
Even with the development of modern criminal investigation methods, it is still impossible to avoid many headless cases and unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, let alone in a backward feudal society. Being able to see through this step, Bai Cuiqing should be a great woman who is transparent.
Zhao Shuangshen nodded thoughtfully: "Your mother is right." ”
But if the case is not clear, the case cannot be closed, and if the case cannot be closed, her father will be punished, and if her father is punished, her quality of life will be affected, so it has become one of Zhao Shuang's responsibilities to help her father investigate and close the case.
But she's a foodie, and she's really not good at investigating cases.
Zhao Shuang took Rou Niang back to the main hall, Qi Zuo was still carefully examining the corpse, and everyone's attention was on the corpse and Qi Zuo.
Zhao Shuang walked up to Zhao Moshen and whispered, "Daddy Zhao, Lu Laosan looks like he was poisoned to death." ”
Zhao Moshen nodded, he also thought so, the key is who poisoned, what poison, how, and why he poisoned, this is what he needs to find out, if he can't see his husband poisoned, he will convict his wife, then he may wronged a good person.
"Since it's poisoning, we should go to the kitchen to check it later." Zhao Shuang proposed.
Zhao Moshen nodded and said, "The kitchen is naturally to be inspected, but Lu Laosan died last night, and after such a long time, I am afraid that the poison has already been disposed of by the murderer." ”
After confirming that Daddy would inspect the kitchen, Zhao Shuang was relieved. As for the murderer disposing of the poison, not necessarily.
After a check, the conclusion reached is no different from the conclusion reached by ordinary people at a glance, Lu Laosan was poisoned to death, as for what poison he was in, he couldn't find out just by examining the corpse, and he needed to find poison for testing.
Zhao Moshen asked Li Zhutou to lead people to search Zhao's house one by one and seize all the suspicious things, while he took two officials to the kitchen.
On the way to the kitchen with Zhao Moshen, Zhao Shuang followed Zhao Mo quietly, and there were two little girls quietly behind, who should be the two personal girls of the suspect Han Zeshi, Xiaolian and Pei'er.
One of the girls has a goose egg face, looks capable and clever, it should be Xiaolian, and the other girl has a melon seed face and almond eyes, which is very beautiful, and she should be afraid that Lu Lao Er will occupy her Pei'er.
The two girls followed behind, whispering and underestimating twice from time to time.
The kitchen of the Lu family is in a cross-courtyard in the east wing, and the five large tiled houses are very spacious, which is worthy of the kitchen of a rich family.
There are all kinds of pots and stoves in the kitchen, and this equipment should be equivalent to the kitchen of the model room of a luxury villa in modern society.
Two officers were busy inspecting the various ingredients in the kitchen, taking samples, and grabbing a chicken from the coop to inspect.
Zhao Shuang found a row of six large urns on the west wall of the kitchen, she walked to the big urn, opened the lid and checked them one by one, sure enough, it was the pickles of the six large urns, looking at the color of the pickles, it should be newly pickled for a short time, there are pickled radish, pickled mustard, pickled cabbage, pickled beans and so on.
Depending on the pickling color, it should be about seven days.
