Zhang Yunyan was watching the scene of the inquest of the officials, listening to the discussion of the people around her, only to see an official come out of the hotel. When she saw this person, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, it turned out to be Chen Baoyang, the magistrate of the county.
Yunyan didn't expect that Chen Zhixian would come here to inspect in person, and it seems that the case is not small.
Chen Baoyang, the magistrate of the county, asked everyone if there was anyone in the know, but no one answered.
During the inspection, Chen Zhixian saw Zhang Yunyan wearing double knives, sassy and heroic, extraordinary bearing, very capable, and his heart moved. Although this woman is young, she is extraordinary, with an awe-inspiring aura that is eye-catching.
He had already dealt with Zhang Yunyan and did not recognize it, because that meeting was in the dark of night, and he could not see the face of the "heavenly god" clearly.
Chen Baoyang came to Yunyan and asked, "This young lady, may I ask your name?"
Zhang Yunyan didn't expect the magistrate to pay attention to her, and she was a little nervous, did she feel that she had something to do with the case, and had doubts about her? Did she recognize her as the "god" who went to Lotus Village to disturb her dreams?
People are not afraid of shadows, and Yunyan doesn't mind. That time, she rescued Zhang Chenhui, who had suffered injustice from the prison, helped the magistrate correct the wrong case, and also helped him find out about the little lady Hongxing going out of the wall, and caught the flower fox who cuckolded him, which can be regarded as a meritorious person.
Yun Yan looked at Chen Zhixian and responded, "My name is Yun Feiyan, I don't know what the adults have to ask?"
Chen Zhixian was very happy and said in surprise: "It turned out to be the hero Yun Feiyan, long admiration, long admiration! Maybe we have a fate to meet here, it is a great honor." β
Seeing that Chen Zhixian was so polite, Zhang Yunyan immediately responded: "Thank you for your concern, I don't know what advice you have?"
Chen Zhixian sighed with some emotion and sighed: "I'm very happy to see you." Alas, there was a suspicious case here, and after many days of investigation and search, there was no clue, and it was difficult to solve it for a while. I want to ask you for help, but I don't know if I can say yes. β
Zhang Yunyan was a little surprised, smiled faintly, and said: "The adult looks down on the little woman, how can I have the ability to solve the case, let's invite another master." β
Chen Zhixian shook his head: "I won't tell you, my subordinates can't be literate or martial, and it's really not easy to solve such a murder case." The heroes have excellent skills, and it is more than enough to deal with those murderers, and I hope to help solve the case, so that the important criminals can be arrested as soon as possible, so that the victims can be blind. β
Zhang Yunyan thought for a while and said, "Okay, the magistrate values it so much, I am willing to do my best, but I hope to live up to the love of adults." Excuse me, what kind of case is this?"
Chen Baoyang, the magistrate of the county, sighed: "This case is very simple, it is a murder case. However, the facts of the case are full of doubts and puzzling. β
He then told the story of the murder......
The deceased's surname was Qi, his name was Qi Lianyi, and he lived in Luming Town. Qi Lianyi's parents have worked hard all their lives, accumulated some money, and lived a relatively prosperous life.
Qi Lianyi only has two brothers, the elder brother's name is Qi Lianren, and he has married a wife and had children. His wife's name is Deng Yue'e, and she is from a neighboring village. The couple had a boy named Xing'er, who was less than three years old.
Now, the old Qi family is frail and sickly and can no longer work, and all the affairs of the family are handled by the Qi Lianren brothers. Three generations of the family have lived together, and they are very happy in harmony.
Qi Lianyi is already engaged, and his fiancΓ©e is a fellow villager of his sister-in-law Yue. The woman has a good character and good looks, and the family likes it very much.
Lianyi's marriage is a major event in the hearts of the old couple of the Qi family, and it has always been
This is in a hurry. The two old men wanted him to get married as soon as possible, one came and went, and the other wanted to hug his grandson as soon as possible.
In order not to worry the old man and enjoy the joy of family, the brothers bought materials and hired workers to build three new houses. The whole family worked hard, and although they were a little tired, they were happy.
After the completion of the work, the Qi family invited the employees to have a meal at the adjacent "Xikelai" restaurant.
A few days ago, Qi Lianyi came to the "Xikelai" restaurant and settled the meal with the owner Zhao Wansheng. After the accounts were settled, it was almost noon, and Zhao Wansheng wanted to invite Lian Yi to eat and drink, but Lian Yi had to sit down.
Zhao Wansheng personally brought the wine and food, and after drinking a bowl of wine, he persuaded him to go to his own business.
Most of the people who eat and drink here are villagers, and they congratulate Qi Lianyi, and Lianyi happily returns to everyone.
Who knows, he hasn't finished eating, and suddenly feels pain in his abdomen, pressing and rubbing is ineffective, and the pain is getting more and more painful, and he can't bear it. His brow furrowed, sweat flowed, and he hummed incessantly.
The villagers panicked and hurriedly came over to inquire.
The shopkeeper Zhao Wansheng also ran over to check, and when he saw Lian Yi fainting, he immediately carried him to the doctor for treatment.
After the doctor checked, he said that Lian Yi had died and there was no way to treat him.
The bad news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, so scared that Zhao Wansheng sat on the ground, he had no master, and he didn't know what to do.
When the Qi family got the murderous letter, they were both sad and angry, and they insisted that Zhao Wansheng was the victim, and escorted him to the official mansion to avenge Lian Yi's grievances.
Human life is at stake, and Chen Baoyang, the magistrate of the county, was immediately promoted to the court to try the case.
The Qi family was furious, and while crying, they accused Zhao Wansheng of being insidious and vicious, killing Qi Lianyi.
Zhao Wansheng burst into tears, tried his best to plead, and shouted that he was wronged.
Chen Zhixian shouted: "Defendant, according to the Qi family, you were dissatisfied with the Qi family because of the land occupied by the construction of the house, and you made noise and abuse for this, and even fought with the deceased, and there were mutual injuries, but this is the case?"
"This is indeed the case, which was caused by the Qi family's construction of the house this time. However, the two of us have reconciled as before, and there is no resentment between each other. Zhao Wansheng defended, "It's common for the villagers to quarrel over some things, it's not a big deal, I will never poison people because of this, it's not self-defeating, I hope the adults will see it." β
Chen Baoyang asked, "Did you personally serve those wines?"
"It was brought by the villain, it was a jar of unopened wine, how could it be poisonous, Qi Lianyi's death must have another reason. β
The magistrate said: "The jar of wine has been inspected, and it is indeed not poisonous, but there is arsenic in the bowl of wine left by the deceased, how can you explain it?"
"Ah, this ...... I didn't know! I poured the bowl of wine myself, and I drank a bowl with him, and if it was poisonous, I would have died. This bowl of wine is never poisonous, and there must be something wrong in it. Zhao Wansheng was very panicked and helpless, and even cried out for wrongdoing.
Chen Zhixian said: "The fact that the wine is not poisonous does not mean that the bowl is not poisonous, there is indeed no poison in your bowl, but there is arsenic in the deceased's bowl, which has been verified by investigation and will not be wrong." This poisonous wine is only you who have been in contact with the deceased, not you, is it the deceased's own poison?"
"It's definitely not the villain who poisoned it, the arsenic in that bowl must have been put in by someone else, and I hope the adults will investigate it carefully. β
"This matter has been inquired about a long time ago, and everyone who was present at the time confirmed it
There has been no contact with the deceased, and there is no fault with each other. What else do you have to say about that?"
"This ...... I can't tell why, that bowl was washed together, how could it be poisonous. The villain is a business, and he will never poison people. β
Chen Zhixian was shocked and shouted: "Boldly Diao Min, you poisoned people only after taking revenge on the Qi family, and you still don't admit what you have done, come and beat him with thirty boards!"
After a heavy beating, Zhao Wansheng shouted in pain, still not admitting his guilt.
Seeing this, Chen Zhixian also had some doubts and decided to personally inspect the scene to see if new evidence could be found. He ordered someone to put Zhao Wansheng in prison first, and then sent two capable arresters to investigate and find clues.
The next morning, Chen Zhixian was busy trying a case and could not leave. After lunch, he slept for a while, and then prepared, and then rushed to Luming Town with a few officials.
He came to the "Xikelai" hotel to check the scene, and learned that the two arresters who investigated the case had found no new clues, so he couldn't help frowning and sighing.
He carefully inspected the restaurant, there was nothing suspicious, asked several guests who were eating at that time, there was no new evidence and suspicions, he felt that the case was difficult, and did not know where to start to investigate the case.
When he was anxious, Chen Zhixian saw Zhang Yunyan and was very happy, hoping that this woman could help solve the case.
......
Zhang Yunyan listened to the facts of the case and asked, "Does the deceased have enemies?"
Chen Zhixian said: "My subordinates have visited many places, and the Qi family is loyal, kind to others, and has no enmity with others. This time, because of building a house, he had a quarrel with Zhao Wansheng and fought. The Qi family wanted to reconcile with him, so they invited hired workers to have a meal at Zhao's house. β
Zhang Yunyan didn't have a clue for a while: "This case is really puzzling, it is said that Zhao Wansheng quarreled and fought with the deceased, not to the point of killing people, not like a vendetta." If someone poisoned it, it would have been difficult for so many people to be present at the time, and it would have been difficult to do it in front of the dead, so how could there be arsenic in that bowl?"
Chen Zhixian shook his head and sighed: "Yes, it's really puzzling, but it can be confirmed that someone poisoned it, as for who did it and what means were used, it is not clear for a while." β
Zhang Yunyan felt very confused, smiled bitterly, and said: "My lord, I am really stupid, it is really difficult to help solve this case, if the murderer is arrested, I can contribute, if I want to use my brain to investigate the case, there is nothing I can do." I won't bother here, if there is anything useful to me, I will go to Zhang Chenhui's house in Yulongzhuang to inform me, and I will do my best to help the adults solve the case. β
"Yulongzhuang Zhang Chenhui? So, you and Zhang Chenhui are very familiar, are they relatives?"
Zhang Yunyan smiled: "Yes, Master Zhang is my uncle." β
Chen Baoyang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Alas, this official once arrested Master Zhang by mistake, I am really ashamed." β
In this regard, Yun Yan also sighed with emotion: "This matter has passed, and it is also commendable that adults can correct the wrong case in time." β
Chen Zhixian smiled bitterly again: "Don't say it, it's a lesson for this official, and we must be cautious in the future." This murder case is full of suspicions, it is so tricky, and you must be even more careful, with the lessons of the past, you can no longer wronged good people. β
Zhang Yunyan sighed silently, yes, this case is a matter of life, and there must be no more mistakes.
