Soon, several people arrived at the restaurant where one of the crime scenes occurred.

Since the guys who were in charge of serving the food to several people, the shopkeeper on duty in the lobby, and the chef who was in charge of the back kitchen, all of them belonged to the first-line witnesses, and they had all been summoned to the county government hall, and all that was left in the restaurant at the moment were some shivering shrimp.

There was also a middle-aged man who looked like an owner staying at the scene, sighing from time to time, and wiping the cold sweat that broke out on his forehead from time to time.

The wine table where the accident occurred was well preserved, and it was almost as it was at the time.

After several people arrived at the scene, the man who looked like the owner came up as soon as possible.

"Cao Dutou, can you take a step to speak?"

The man nervously leaned in front of Cao Jun, and quietly stuffed a five-weight silver ingot into Cao Jun's cuffs.

Cao Jun also had no intention of embarrassing him, and comforted: "It's just that I came to the scene to check whether there are any tricks in the appetizers, so there is no need to do this." ”

The man from the proprietor inquired uneasily: "Dutou, I don't know ...... the county government."

"The county government knows that the county lord has taken the stage to judge the case, and the result will soon be known, if the wine and food in your restaurant are clean, it will be fine, please be calm for a while."

After sending the man away, several people gathered around the table of wine and food where the accident occurred, and checked the fact that he untied the package he carried with him very professionally, and took out some professional tools from it in turn.

Cao Jun and several officials could not help in a short time, so they had to surround the scene of the crime in case someone interrupted their work.

After Zhou Zunfeng said goodbye to Cao Jun, he calmly led the two officials to inspect some key points of the restaurant, such as the kitchen at the back and the wine storage place in the cellar.

In the end, I asked some restaurant guys at the scene one by one, and got some trivial circumstantial evidence.

Cao Jun kept a close eye on the scene to investigate his every move.

I saw that he first used a thin silver needle to check every dish on the wine table, even the soup that was spilled on the table.

He turned the big bowl of rice upside down.

Finally, the eye fell on the broken wine container.

Because the container had long been broken, the wine inside had already been spilled, and the wine was the focus of this inspection, just when Cao Jun was curious about how to proceed with the investigation.

The latter sighed suddenly, frowned, took out a bottle of gray-white powder from the cloth bag, and carefully sprinkled it on the broken wine container in turn.

I don't know what the powder was, but after being contaminated with moisture, it quickly changed color, from the previous gray-white to dark gray.

Finally, Cha Yanzuo stained a little powder with his fingers in turn and put it in his mouth to taste.

Every time I taste it, rinse my mouth with water once, and I don't dare to be careless.

After a long time, Cha Yanzuo opened his eyes, and his cloudy gaze became heavy.

Cao Jun hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Master Cha, what are the gains?" ”

Cha Qizuo cautiously glanced around, and replied in a low voice: "This wine is poisonous, but I can't tell what kind of poison it is, it should be a snake venom, which can kill people, not like the Central Plains." ”

Cao Jun was also stunned.

Although he has already figured out the truth behind it, and he is basically about to figure it out, but the unsightly man in front of him can see that the wine is poisonous or a snake venom based on his own experience and simple tools.

You really can't underestimate the wisdom of people in this era.

"Dutou, although this container has been broken, it is still first-hand evidence, which can be carefully put away and brought back to the county office."

"It's nature."

Although Cao Jun didn't know how this cha made a judgment that there was snake venom in the container containing the wine, he always obeyed the opinions of professionals.

Then he instructed an accompanying official to wrap the broken container with a tablecloth, and left two more officials to protect the scene, and the group hurried to the Wang's shopkeeper crude medicine shop at the entrance of Xicheng.

Then there was another inspection, and this time compared to the gains of the restaurant, this time there was little gain.

In the end, they rushed to the home of the two deceased splashes and joined the team on the other side.

The two apprentices and apprentices gathered together to discuss for a while, and then returned to the county office with a pile of evidence.

After this visit, it was already noon.

The magistrate of the county hall has reached the peak of the case, and Cao Jun and several people are waiting outside the door, and from time to time they can hear the snapping sound of the startled wood slapping on the table.

Since the first-hand evidence had been passed back, the magistrate immediately chose to suspend the court, and then some relevant personnel were summoned in one after another.

Cao Jun was waiting outside, and while he was pondering, Zhang Zhisi, who had a kind face, came to him at some point.

"Cao Dutou, it's been hard this time."

Cao Jun squinted his eyes and glanced at Zhang Zhisi, still unable to find any useful information from the other party's face, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, "What an old fox, it looks like a bamboo is in your chest?" ”

Having said that, Cao Jun still politely arched his hand and saluted back, "It's all a matter of internal affairs, so why work hard?" ”

"Anyway...... Thank you. ”

Zhang Zhisi patted Cao Jun's arm affectionately, and then left with his hands upside down.

After the magistrate grasped the first-hand evidence, the process of solving the case in the afternoon was significantly accelerated, and the case hall was also full of wind and water for a while, and from time to time there was a sound of bamboo shoots fried meat, accompanied by a scream.

Soon, as the key evidence, the third splash (and the only one alive) was escorted to the lobby by the head of the thunder catcher, and after some service by these veterans, in order to survive, this splash skin also knew everything and said everything.

The crude drug shop case suddenly came to light.

The original sufferer, the family of the deceased splash became accomplices;

The original plaintiff, Fang Simon's family, became the defendant;

And the original defendant, Wang's shopkeeper's crude medicine shop, became the victim.

The entire case process was also completely exposed to everyone's sight.

The Ximen family resented that the crude medicine shop of the shopkeeper Wang had seized the market in the county that should have belonged to him, and colluded with three splashes to go to the pharmacy of the shopkeeper of Wang to see the disease, and prescribed medicine on the spot.

Subsequently, the housekeeper of Ximen Mansion went out and privately feasted three splashers, and put the Western Regions snake venom in the wine of the banquet, causing the two splashers to become unwell after drinking and died that night after returning home.

The other surviving splasher, who was lucky enough to miss the poisoned wine because of his stomach trouble, was so frightened by the death of his two companions that he lost his soul and hid in a ruined temple in the city.

Later, he was found by Lei Catcher's hands and became the most important witness in court.

At the same time, Ximen Mansion did not know that there was still one Popi who survived, and still encouraged the two deceased Pippi's family members according to the original plan, and promised a large sum of money to attribute Popi's death to the crude medicine shop of the king's shopkeeper, and sued the other party in the lobby in one fell swoop.

Ximen Mansion was pitted by people, but was pitted, and was in an absolute downwind for a while.

Although there are still several doubts in the case, such as whether the amount of poison in the Ximen Mansion housekeeper's wine exceeds the standard? Did he deliberately put people to death, and did he get the instructions of Ximen Qing, the principal of Ximen Mansion?

After not being sure whether the surviving Splash was still alive, Ximen Mansion dared to join hands with Splash Skin's family and sue the Wang shopkeeper to the county government, was it bold or negligent?

None of that matters anymore.

The case has now officially entered the second process.

It's time for the two sides to compete for money and connections.
