Chapter 162: Someone Killed

"Hey, have you heard, there is a person in our town who is very good at cooking, and it is said that he is still a girl!" In the teahouse, a table of guests is chatting.

"I heard that! She is a girl, and she is not only a superb cook, but also very good-looking, and I don't know where she came from. ”

"I've eaten the dishes she cooked, and the method is very novel, I've never seen it before, it's really amazing!"

"You say whoever marries this woman back home will be a blessing!"

There has been nothing new in this town for too long, and I didn't expect that one day a chef could become a topic of conversation after dinner. The woman that everyone said was naturally Zhuo Yu, and after she left the capital, she went directly to this place, and saw that the mountains and rivers here were beautiful, and the people were simple, so she settled down. Relying on the money given by Yu Chijin, he took down an inn by himself and became a budget-conscious proprietress.

When she first arrived, Zhuo Yu didn't open the store smoothly at first, who knew that since someone ate her food, they rushed over, even more lively than the restaurant here. Zhuo Yu thought that it was inconvenient for him to cook by himself every day, so he personally taught this cooking skill to a very reliable orphan, and it happened to take him in so that the other party could have a home.

The most important thing about opening an inn is also the safety issue, Zhuo Yu also specially hired two strong men to guard the store, if there is an accident or someone makes trouble, it is good to have a response, after all, she is also a weak woman, and it is not convenient to wander around alone.

Zhuo Yu lives here in full swing, counting money every night until his hands are soft, but in the dead of night, he will also feel deeply lonely and miss modern life very much. According to her previous experience of reading novels, every time the protagonist crosses, there must be some strange celestial landscape, although she didn't find anything abnormal when she crossed over, but she can only pin her hopes on strange magic. But the master invited back was either a charlatan, or he couldn't understand it, and there was no progress at all, and over time, she gave up this idea. Anyway, I live a rich life here and lack nothing, so at this time, it is also excellent to find an ancient beautiful man to marry, and the two of them will live an ordinary life.

On this day, Zhuo Yu usually got up early, not because she was diligent, but because there was a very noisy sound downstairs, after Zhuo Yu went downstairs curiously, he saw a group of people standing in his shop menacingly, and at a glance, he knew that the other party was not good.

"Yo, what's the matter with a few guest officers coming over like this?" Zhuo Yu greeted the guest with a smile and remained calm.

"I said boss, your shop killed someone! Are you too embarrassed to ask? The other party was very fierce, and wanted to give Zhuo Yu a dismount.

"Our store has always been innocent, but all the guest officers here know it, how can it hurt people? Do you have proof? Zhuo Yu was not afraid at all, and said stiffly.

"Nonsense! We just followed the method you said, went back to cook the food, but the guest left that night after eating, didn't you make the hell? ”

"The unique secret recipe of our store, just rely on this to eat, for you? I'm not a living bodhisattva! ”

"Anyway, it's just according to your method, and now our guests have a problem, isn't it your problem!" The other party was pestering.

Zhuo Yu was confused, and finally her cook Xiaoyu came over to explain the reason and she knew what happened. The person who came to make trouble on the other side was the owner of another restaurant on this street, and since Zhuo Yu came, there were almost no customers in this restaurant. The man was very red-eyed, so he sent a cook here to steal the master to learn the art, and was caught by Xiaoyu once before, thinking that it was a villager and put it back. When the cook returned, he began to learn this way of cooking, and his business was better than before, but yesterday for some reason his guests ate vegetables and died of poison in the middle of the night.

"What does the dead man have to do with their family?" Zhuo Yu asked, it is entirely possible that this was deliberately poisoned in the dish.

"It doesn't matter, I don't know the person who died." Xiaoyu is honest.

"Someone's dead right now, boss, please give us a trip." The person in the yamen behind said.

How can such a good cooking be able to eat dead people? There should be something else hidden in it. Zhuo Yu thought that this matter really had nothing to do with him, so he explained a few words to the people in the store, and then went to the yamen with Xiaoyu.

When the magistrate learned about this, he asked:

"Miss Zhuo, I also know the craftsmanship of your shop, but the deceased is indeed not familiar with their shopkeepers, and the dish was personally served by the shopkeeper and watched the other party eat it. In the final autopsy results, only vegetables were found in the stomach of the deceased, and nothing else was unusual. ”

"Go back to your lordship, and don't say anything else. This man stole our family's cooking, and I haven't said anything wronged. They have a problem with their own dishes, and now they bite the little girl back, which is really bullying. Zhuo Yu said, and tears immediately came out. When the people watching the excitement heard Zhuo Yu's words, they also felt that it made sense, and they all discussed it in a whisper in the back.

"Silence! Miss Zhuo, I know that you have been wronged, and I also understand that you are innocent. But this man's life is at stake, do you know what went wrong? The magistrate asked.

Zhuo Yu thought for a while, since there was no motive to kill, and there was only food residue in the person's stomach, there must be only one problem, the wrong way to cook the food, which led to the poison of the food, so it would cause a tragedy, so he said:

"That's a problem with the dish, I wonder what this guest ordered last night?" Zhuo Yu asked.

"It's just fried beans, is there anything wrong?" The man asked curiously.

Zhuo Yu pondered for a moment and said:

"My lord, I'm afraid this problem lies in this bean."

This bean is a very homely dish, how could something go wrong, the people around felt a little strange after hearing it, and they didn't believe Zhuo Yu's words.

"You said there was a problem with that bean, but is there any evidence?" Lord Zhixian asked.

"Adults don't know, the little woman's ancestors are very familiar with cooking skills for three generations, this bean is an ordinary food, raw or cooked, but only one thing will not work."

"Which point?"

"If this bean is half-cooked, the toxicity is better than the poison, when the little woman taught Xiaoyu to cook, she repeatedly told her to ensure that the dish is fully cooked." Zhuo Yu said.

"Oh? This is the first time I've heard of that. The magistrate said.

"As soon as I heard it, I knew it was lying, how many years have I opened the store, and I have never heard of such unfounded words." The man muttered.
