"As soon as he finished speaking, he fell to the ground with a thud, vomiting, and struggled for a few times before he stopped moving."

"Ruan Dongmei said that she was terrified at the time and shouted for help, and the maids and servants also panicked."

"When Mr. Zhang heard the letter and rushed over, he found that Mr. Zhang San had already died!"

"Mr. Zhang was unwilling to accept this, so he called Doctor Wang to check. Doctor Wang shook his head and said the person was already dead, so he should report it to the police!"

Captain Liu said this, took a sip of water, and then continued: "There was a murder case, and the government quickly sent people to the scene. I followed Lord Hai and arrived at the scene quickly."

"Oh, is there anything unusual at the scene?" Wang Yugui asked hurriedly after hearing this.

Captain Liu said: "The scene is similar to what Ruan Dongmei said. There is an empty teapot and unfinished watermelon on the table."

"Mr. Zhang San fell to the ground with some vomit around his mouth"

"Both the coroner and Doctor Wang said that Mr. Zhang San's death looked like a sudden death, but it could also be poisoning. However, neither of them could find out what the poison was!"

"Have you checked what he eats and drinks?" Wang Yugui asked hurriedly.

Captain Liu nodded and said, "Of course we checked. At noon that day, Mr. Zhang San had lunch with his family."

"His family is fine, which means there must be nothing wrong with the food!"

"Is there something wrong with the tea and watermelon in Ruan Dongmei's room?" Wang Yugui frowned and asked hurriedly.

Captain Liu nodded: "Yes, we also immediately suspected that there was something wrong with the tea and watermelon!"

"Have you tested for drugs?" Wang Yugui asked again.

Captain Liu nodded and said, "We did. The coroner and Doctor Wang both used silver needles to test, but they found nothing!"

"Oh, then the tea and watermelon are not poisonous." Wang Yugui nodded and breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought: Where did the third son of Zhang get poisoned? Was it a chronic poison? Or did he really die suddenly?

After hearing this, Captain Liu shook his head and sighed: "Well, we all thought so at the beginning, but Lord Hai said that silver needles may not be accurate in testing poisons, and we have to use living things to test to confirm it."

"So, we went to find the little black dog from Mr. Zhang's house."

"I gave the watermelon that Mr. Zhang San hadn't finished to Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei was fine after he ate the watermelon!"

"That pot of tea is a problem. Mr. Zhang drank all the tea. Only some tea leaves are left."

"Xiao Hei smelled the tea leaves and didn't eat them at all!"

"Oh, that's a bit difficult to deal with," Wang Yugui sighed.

Who eats tea leaves for no reason? Animals don’t like to eat this stuff either!

Captain Liu listened and smiled: "Hey, it's said that Mr. Hai is smarter than us!"

"Mr. Hai smiled and said, it doesn't matter if the dog doesn't eat the tea leaves."

"Go boil a pot of hot water, use these tea leaves to make some more tea, and give this tea to Xiao Hei to drink!"

"Oh, yes, oh, why didn't I think of making another pot of tea!" Wang Yugui also laughed after hearing this.

He hurriedly asked, "What happened next? Did Xiao Hei drink it?"

"That fellow Xiao Hei is very cunning, he didn't drink it," said Captain Liu, but "Mr. Zhang's two chickens did drink it!"

"Oh, what happened? All the chickens died?" Wang Yugui asked nervously.

Captain Liu nodded and said, "Yes, because it was hot, the two chickens drank a lot of tea."

"Not long after he finished drinking, he fell down with his feet in the air, thrashed around a few times, and then died!"

"Oh, so the tea leaves are poisonous!" Wang Yugui exclaimed

Captain Liu nodded: "Yes, it is certain that the tea leaves are poisonous!"

"This tea was brewed by Ruan Dongmei. She didn't drink a single sip. Mr. Zhang drank it all. So Ruan Dongmei immediately became the first suspect."

"Ruan Dongmei poisoned Mr. Zhang San? This doesn't make sense. What good would it do for her to poison Mr. Zhang San?" Wang Yugui frowned and said.

There is really no reason for Ruan Dongmei to do this!

After hearing this, Captain Liu looked at Wang Yugui and asked, "Painter Wang, do you know Mr. Zhang San's wife?"

"Are you talking about the Third Young Master's wife? I don't know her," Wang Yugui replied.

He really didn't know the Third Young Master's wife. In Mr. Zhang's mansion, except for the old lady and the lady who would occasionally ask him to paint a portrait, no one else liked portraits.

Wang Yugui had only heard of the third young master's wife but had never seen her.

Captain Liu smiled and said, "You don't know her, but she knows you. The Third Young Master's wife's real name is Zhou Xiaoju."

"She is the youngest daughter of a large landowner named Zhou from Zhougu Village in this county. When Zhou Xiaoju heard that Mr. Zhang was poisoned to death, she immediately went to Lord Hai to complain."

"He insisted that it must be Ruan Dongmei who poisoned the Third Young Master, and he also said that Ruan Dongmei had an adulterer outside!"

"Ruan Dongmei is said to be flirtatious and seductive. She must have been afraid that the Third Young Master would know about her affair, so she hooked up with the adulterer, made poison, and killed the Third Young Master."

"Ah? She, who did she say the adulterer was?" Wang Yugui frowned.

Captain Liu looked at Wang Yugui and smiled: "She said that the adulterer was you!"

"It is said that Ruan Dongmei and the famous painter Xiao Wang in the city have been having an affair for a long time. Everyone in the back street knows about your affair."

"The things she was talking about are the things that County Magistrate Hai asked you about!"

"She is making things up, slandering me, and talking nonsense!" Wang Yugui said angrily.

Damn it, I have no grudge against Zhou Xiaoju, but that little girl actually framed me like this. It's so hateful!

Captain Liu smiled and said, "Master Painter Wang, don't be angry!"

"Not only did Third Young Master's wife Zhou Xiaoju say so, but there were also several maids and servants who testified for her, saying that Ruan Dongmei and you had an affair!"

"Oh, I'm so angry, who said that? Which maids and servants said that?" Wang Yugui asked angrily, and then said, "These maids and servants must have been bribed by the Third Young Master's wife!"

Captain Liu nodded: "Yes, but since so many people have testified against you, Mr. Hai has no choice but to investigate you."

Captain Liu laughed again as he spoke: "Fortunately, those girls and servants were detained separately by Lord Hai in time."

"There are many unreasonable points in their confessions. After Mr. Hai interrogated you..."

"They were re-interrogated one after another. How could they handle the brain of Mr. Hai?"

"Soon, those maids and servants were full of loopholes and could not defend themselves. They confessed everything and said that it was the Third Young Master's wife who ordered them to say so."

"It is said that the Third Young Master's wife has always been jealous of Ruan Dongmei and secretly paid money to bribe Ruan Dongmei's personal maid and servant."

"She heard that Ruan Dongmei was very close to you and that you seemed to have a very good relationship. Although she had no evidence, she guessed that you two must have had an affair."

"On ordinary days, the Third Young Master's wife always tells the maids and servants that if anyone asks about your relationship with Ruan Dongmei, they should insist that you two are having an affair!"

"So, when something happened to Mr. Zhang, the Third Young Master's wife seized the opportunity and immediately ran to Lord Hai to accuse Ruan Dongmei! By the way, she also implicated you."

"Oh, that's how it is!" Wang Yugui understood everything after hearing this.
