Zhang Zezhen looked at the bustling crowd in the village, and suddenly yearned for life in the big city, although at this moment, her life was very comfortable.

But in her previous life, she was still more enthusiastic about life in the big city, but she couldn't leave blindly, otherwise what should her family do, she is no longer a state where one person is fed and the whole family is not hungry, but someone who has a family to worry about.

At this time, I heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves from behind, and someone kept shouting: "Get up, get up!" ”

Zhang Zezhen turned her head to see that a man with a handsome face and dark skin wearing a silk coat and a sword on his right waist was running towards her on horseback, followed by a few catchers.

The two glanced at each other and hurriedly parted.

"Uncle, why did the people from the government come to our village?"

"I heard that there was a dead man in Chen Village next to her, it was a man, and her mother sued the county government and said that her son was killed.

"When?"

"It was the first two days. Hey, pitiful, I heard that the man just got married, and the good days ended before they began. The vendor lamented.

Before being reborn, Zhang Zezhen had never experienced a criminal investigation case, but now that she has traveled to ancient times, she has actually let herself meet, such a good opportunity cannot be missed.

So, after she asked the address of the vendor's uncle, Chen Village, she followed.

After walking for about a moment, she arrived at Chen Village, and just when Zhang Zezhen felt a little lost, she saw a group of people surrounding not far ahead, and there was a crying sound from inside.

She had a hunch that there was the scene of the accident, and when she opened the crowd and went in, she saw the handsome guy just now again, except for the fact that his skin was a little darker, he grew perfectly on his aesthetic point.

The deceased was a man in the prime of life, about 30 years old, who died a hideous appearance and showed obvious signs of poisoning, and was most likely killed.

However, the man's mother cried out again and again: "My son, you died so unjustly! ”

The woman next to her was supposed to be the man's new wife, and she kept crying on the side, muttering: "Husband, how can you leave me!" ”

"Okay, don't cry yet, let's talk about what happened before he died." The handsome man said to the two women.

"Okay, okay, everyone disperse, disperse." The officials next to him began to drive away the surrounding villagers.

"Soon after the two of us got married, my husband went out drinking with his friends, and when he came back, he lay down to rest, but the next day, he fell unconscious, woo woo woo ......" the woman cried as she spoke.

"My son, what a miserable life!" The mother was in pain.

"Auntie, if you want to open something, don't worry, we will investigate clearly." The handsome man comforted.

Ignoring the dissuasion of the officials, Zhang Zezhen walked straight to the dead man's side, and then checked his symptoms, this person was swollen and his hair was falling out.

"When your husband sleeps at night, does he have nausea, vomiting, bloating, or convulsions?"

Although Zhang Zezhen does not understand autopsy and traditional Chinese medicine, she is very familiar with some commonly used ingredients and tonics, because when her father cooks for some special people, he will take their bodies into account and choose different ingredients.

Faced with the sudden question, the woman suddenly panicked, she hesitated and said, "Probably not, I slept soundly that night, and when I saw him come back, I fell asleep again, and I don't know what happened after that." ”

The handsome man saw the chubby girl and asked, "Will you perform an autopsy?" ”

"No, but I probably know what kind of poison he has." Zhang Zezhen replied calmly.

With that, the handsome man became interested.

said to Zhang Zezhen: "My name is Chu Ming, I am the head catcher of Dongyang County, what is your name?" ”

"Zhang Zezhen."

"Tell me what you think."

"This person should have drunk Tripterygium Ivy. This is a very common blood circulation and pain relieving medicine, which can remove heat poison, but if you take it in excess, you will be poisoned, and if you drink alcohol at the same time, you will get sick within 3 hours and die within 24 hours. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Not sure."

"Not sure, what nonsense are you talking about here?" The official on the side said unremittingly.

Zhang Zezhen was stabilized now, and she suddenly remembered that this is not modern, and there is no way to verify it with modern medical technology, and the only way is to see if there are pesticides such as pesticides.

Chu Ming instantly understood what was going on, and directly ordered his subordinates to rush into Chen Daniu's house and search for the relevant poison.

"You two go look in the houses."

"Yes, Chu Catcher!"

At this time, the woman's expression changed subtly, and her crying was only a voice, not tears.

"It's all searched, no, Chu catches the head."

"We didn't find it either!"

The search results were disappointing.

Chu Ming looked at Zhang Zezhen and asked, "Miss Zhang, since you are not a fool, why are you so familiar with poison?" ”

"I'm not a cook, but I'm a chef and I know a lot about Chinese herbal medicine."

"Tripterygium wilfordii, also known as broken intestine grass, is toxic as a whole, but it has a very good effect on the treatment of some seriously ill people."

Zhang Zezhen looked at the eldest lady in front of her, suddenly thought of something, and then asked, "Auntie, do you have severe paralysis?" ”

Chen's mother, who was crying, came back to her senses and nodded.

"And what about the medicine you took?" Chu Ming asked.

"When I finish eating, I haven't gotten it yet, and my son ......"

"Then who is going to buy your medicine?"

"It's all my son who buys it, he's a filial child!"

"Did he touch your medicine before he went drinking?"

"Yes, Da Niu was afraid that the medicine would be too hot, so he took a sip for his mother, and after determining the heat, he sent it to his mother to the house." The woman said suddenly.

After Chu Ming asked, he seemed to have his own thoughts, and he told everyone his reasoning.

"From this point of view, it should be that Chen Daniu drank alcohol after drinking Tripterygium wilfordii, which led to the onset of drug toxicity and eventually caused accidental death."

"What?" When Aunt Chen heard this explanation, she almost fainted, "Oh, my son, it's all for my mother who hurt you, it's all my mother's fault, it's all my mother's fault!" ”

"Mother, don't blame yourself, it's not your fault." Chen Daniu's wife kept comforting.

Although this explanation is reasonable, Zhang Zezhen does not think so. She still knows a little about Tripterygium wilfordii, which is both a poison and an antidote.

If she only takes a small sip, she shouldn't die, so there should be something else hidden, but there is no evidence, and she can't say anything.

"Miss Zhang, thank you, if it weren't for you, this case might not have ended so quickly."

Hearing the handsome man encouraging herself, Zhang Zezhen suddenly felt a little happy.

"It's fine." She replied shyly.

"Okay, now that things are clear, it's time for us to go." Chu Ming said to everyone.

"Wait, wait, sir!" Mother Chen suddenly stopped Chu Ming.

"What's the matter, auntie, is there anything else?"

"My son, it can't be an accidental death, he told me that he can't drink my medicine!"

"What?" Chu Ming felt incredulous.

The onlookers had already dispersed, but when they heard Mrs. Chen say such words, they came back one after another.

"Auntie, what did you say?"

"I remembered, when Da Niu invited Lang Zhong to see me, Lang Zhong reminded him that this medicine can only be taken by me, and no one else can touch it, because it contains poison, and normal people will be poisoned if they drink it."

"Are you sure? Auntie, could it be that it has been too long, Chen Daniu, he forgot? ”

"No, he decocts medicine for me every day, how can he not know?"

Chu Ming fell into deep thought, and he didn't know for a while whether to believe what Aunt Chen said.

"What Aunt Chen said should be the truth, Chu Zhutou."

Zhang Zezhen's words attracted Chu Ming's attention, "Why did Miss Zhang say this? ”

"From just now, I was suspicious that the toxicity of Tripterygium wilfordii is not so strong, and after the Chinese herbal medicine is boiled, the toxicity of the drug will be reduced. If you take just a small sip, it should not be fatal, but only a symptom of poisoning. ”

"What do you mean?"

"Yes, Chen Daniu didn't drink Aunt Chen's medicine, but someone specially prepared medicine for him."

"It's murder!"

"Yes, who is so ruthless, just got married, and asked for someone's life."

The onlookers were talking.

Chu Ming recalled the testimony of the woman just now.

He said to her solemnly, "Mrs. Chen, are you sure that Chen Da Niu just took a sip?" ”

The woman said hesitantly: "Well, maybe I remembered wrong, and I don't know, he made medicine for his mother, I don't know very well." ”

"Didn't you say you remembered it very well? Why can't I remember it now? ”

Chu Ming sternly questioned the woman: "I advise you to tell the truth, otherwise, I will invite you to the yamen and often suffer." ”

"It's not me, it's not me, it's really not me."

The woman suddenly panicked and spoke incoherently.

"You poisonous woman, you killed my son, didn't you, didn't you?" Mrs. Chen grabbed the woman's shoulders and kept shaking her body.

"It's not me, it's him who deserves it!"

"What did you say?" Chu Ming asked.

"I didn't say anything!" The woman reacted, and her tone suddenly became cold.

"You poisonous woman, you killed my son!"

The woman pushed Aunt Chen away and said coldly: "Don't spew blood, is there any evidence?" ”

"Chen Liushi, I advise you to recruit from the truth, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless." Chu Ming persecuted the woman again.

"Chu catches the head, the yamen has no evidence, how can you arrest people, be careful that I sue you!"

"You!" Chu Ming hated this kind of vexatious woman the most, and he ordered the official beside him: "Take it away for me!" ”

"Yes!"

I saw the servant pick up the woman and prepare to leave.

"You let go of me, let go of me, everyone come and see, the yamen is arresting people and bullying women!" Chen Liu's clan stirred up nonsense and resisted desperately.

"Wait a minute, Chu Catcher." Zhang Zezhen wanted to stop Chu Ming.

"What's the matter, Miss Zhang, do you have anything you can do?"

"Chen Da Niu is very poisoned, not like eating Chinese herbs, but like eating wild Tripterygium wilfordii."

"Auntie, what did your family eat on the day of the incident?"

"It's just ordinary greens!"

"Did you eat together?"

"I'll have to think about it." Mrs. Chen pondered for a moment and said, "No, Da Niu was the only one who ate that day, because he came back late at noon, so he ate alone." ”

"Is this meal leftovers, or is it new?"

"At the beginning, Da Niu was ready to eat leftovers, but he saw that the vegetables were bottoming out, so the daughter-in-law went to make some new ones."

"If you look at it by time, it should be right."

"Is this what she means by using Tripterygium wilfordii as a green vegetable and feeding it to the big cow? Miss Zhang. Chu Ming asked.
