Detective Case of Black Belly

The little beggar hadn't even stepped out the door when there was a loud cry outside the door.A woman with a sallow complexion ran to the gate of the courtyard in a panic, saw her son's corpse on the ground and wailed, her knees softened, and she knelt down on the ground, unable to get up.

Next to her was a burly man who quickly helped her, "My lord?!" The man looked at Wu Yuyan, with pain, doubt, and sadness in his eyes.

Wu Yuyan pursed his lips and shook his head slowly.The woman struggled to get to her son's side, but her husband quickly picked her up and carried her to his son's side.

The woman stretched out a rough finger tremblingly, and touched Lin Shitou's face, "Little face is really cold, it seems that the jacket given to him in the morning is still too thin." The woman's voice sounded like a pool of stagnant water .

"Su Niang." The man called his wife's name sadly, but the woman didn't move, she reached out and wiped the black blood between Lin Shitou's mouth and nose with her sleeve.

Wu Yuyan said with difficulty from the side, "This child is obviously poisoned. Looking at it like this, I feel a lot of doubts. I hope you two can let me bring the body back to the Yamen." He was already prepared to be hurt by the couple. She was about to scold her, but Su Niang pushed her husband away, walked up to Wu Yuyan, and knelt down straight.

Wu Yuyan hurriedly helped her up, but Su Niang refused to get up, "My lord, there is blood between my child's mouth and nose. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is poisoned. My family has always been poor, and I don't have any snacks for my child. And my family even There is no medicine for the rats, my son died quite strangely, please be careful." Su Niang suddenly lost her son, but she still spoke in an orderly manner, which made people admire her.

"That's right, my lord. My wife even placed the can of saponin powder on a high place. My son must have eaten the poison in the house."

Just as Wu Yuyan was about to answer, he saw Fu Qingkai leading Jiao San and Wang Yong into the courtyard gate. "Master Fu." Wu Yuyan subconsciously called out.

Su Niang walked up to Fu Qingkai and knelt heavily, her husband also knelt beside her.Fu Qingkai was caught off guard, Wu Yuyan hurriedly stepped forward to explain, "I should do my best, you don't have to!" Fu Qingkai repeatedly promised to find out the truth, and the couple stood up.

With the help of her husband, Su Niang stood up, and when she stood up, it was as if a string supporting her was broken. Su Niang fell slowly like a dead leaf, and fell to the ground.Everyone was in a hurry again, Fu Qingkai ordered the police to quickly carry the body back to the Yamen, and Wu Yuyan and himself followed Su Niang and the others into Lin's house.

Everyone carried Su Niang back to the room, and another thin and small man ran out to ask for a doctor.Wu Yuyan reckoned that he should be the male owner of the family opposite.

"Yu Yan." Hearing the sound, Wu Yuyan turned his gaze back, while Fu Qing was sitting at the table in the hall, pointing to the table.There seemed to be nothing on the table, Wu Yuyan took a closer look, and saw a small transparent piece of paper the size of a fingernail lying on the table, Fu Qingkai motioned him to look again, Wu Yuyan found that the pieces of paper were still scattered around A little bit of white powder.

"It's white icing sugar!" Wu Yuyan stared at the table for a while, then suddenly said.

"Huh? So sure." It was Fu Qing's turn to be puzzled.

Wu Yuyan tapped the table with his fingertips, and Fu Qing pressed his chin against the table, frowning, squinting his big eyes, and stared at it for a long time.Seeing Fu Qing's funny expression, the balloon full of stagnation in Wu Yuyan's heart began to leak because he had just carefully examined the tragic situation of the deceased.

Wu Yuyan pointed to two words, "Ant."

Sure enough, there were three or two ants scattered on the dark brown tabletop, circling around the white icing.

Fu Qingkai took out the white gauze from his bosom, looked at it and thought it was wrong, "Yu Yan, your handkerchief is dark blue." Fu Qingkai showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.Wu Yuyan was stared at by his slightly drooping eyes, and felt soft in his heart, how could he refuse.

The two packed up the evidence, and then carefully checked each room and yard to make sure there were no omissions.I went to visit Su Niang and her husband again. Fu Qing originally wanted to ask them some clues to see if there were any suspects, but seeing one fainting and the other grieving, she couldn't ask.

The two returned to the mansion in a hurry. They chatted on the way and learned that it was because a table full of dishes was brought by the full house Xiaoer. Case, cannot go to Shen Tangsheng's banquet.So he also inquired about the location along the way, and came here in a hurry.

On the way Fu Qing heard what Wu Yuyan said about the child's weird hand gestures. When he arrived at the mansion, he didn't have any food, so he hurried to Wu Zuo's room to look at the corpse.The house was very quiet, Wang Yong and Jiao Sandan returned to the corpse, took a few mouthfuls of food, and then went back to Lin Shitou's house to look for clues.

Aunt He seemed to know that a child died in today's murder case, and she didn't yell at Fu Qing to tell Fu Qing to let them eat first before handling the case as usual, but silently covered the rice cooker tightly so as not to let the heat escape , and put the dishes in the kitchen drawer, just waiting for when the two of them are hungry, they will heat them up immediately.

Lin Shitou's body was covered with a white cloth by some arrester. Fu Qingkai stood aside and looked at the body under the white cloth, which was much shorter than usual. He did not start the scene as neatly as usual. Instead, for some unknown reason, he turned around and glanced at Wu Yuyan who was standing beside him.

Wu Yuyan lowered his head and was putting on gloves, ready to help Fu Qing open it when necessary. As if sensing Fu Qing's eyes, Wu Yuyan raised his head, stretched out his ungloved palm, and pressed his shoulder .

Fu Qing suddenly had the courage to face the corpse, he breathed out calmly, and lifted the white cloth, Wu Yuyan helped him gently turn the corpse over to the front.Looking at the child from the front, his expression was even more painful. On his small face, his teeth were grinning, his brows and eyes were tightly wrinkled, and the black blood flowing from his mouth and nose spread to his whole face.

The look of pity in Fu Qingkai's eyes was even worse, and he looked at Wu Yuyan's weird right hand again.The child had been dead for at least three hours, so the body was not very stiff yet.

Fu Qingkai supported his right wrist, and gently picked up his right hand, "It seems to be holding something tightly." Fu Qingkai said.

Wu Yuyan nodded, and Fu Qingkai imitated the movement with his own hands, and then carefully opened the child's palm.

The two of them didn't speak for a while, and the child's palm was covered with scratches and pinches of bright red nails, "What is someone robbing him of?"

"It should be the poisoned food." Fu Qing looked at the white powder in the palm of his hand, "Why, there is nothing to grab. The poison must be put in the food that can be eaten by people."

"Isn't that food so special that people can associate that food with the murderer?"

The two asked and answered each other, and Fu Qingkai scraped a little white powder from the child's palm onto the cloth, "It's probably the same as the things we found on the table, white sugar."

Fu Qingkai put the powder in his palm together with the things in Wu Yuyan's handkerchief. "What kind of food would this be?"

"Food? You two are hungry." Aunt He was choosing vegetables in the corridor, her hearing was very good, when she heard the two of them talking about food, she stepped halfway up and asked them.

Fu Qing shook her head, then walked up to Aunt He holding Wu Yuyan's handkerchief, "Aunt He, you know what these two things might be?"

Aunt He took a closer look, "Isn't this glutinous rice paper? It is only used for sticky sweets! And it is only used for sweets made in exquisite places. If it is a stall on the side of the road, it is always It’s still a pack of oiled paper.”

"Are you saying that glutinous rice paper is only used in restaurants?"

"That's right, isn't Master Wu bringing you all kinds of syrupy fruits on the street all day long? It's all done in a pack of oil paper." Aunt He's voice was very loud, even if only the three of them were present, Fu Qingkai would still Feeling very ashamed, talking like a gluttonous child.From Wu Yuyan's point of view, Fu Qing's ears were red.

Wang Yong and Jiao San worked hard for a few days, sorting out all the relationships in Lin Shitou's family.The two of them were extremely tired, and they still wanted to hurry back and explain to Fu Qingkai first. As soon as they entered the lobby, they smelled a sweet fragrance.Wu Yuyan and Fu Qingkai were sitting in front of a long table made up of two tables. On the table were stacks of pastries and candies wrapped in glutinous rice paper. Huang Xiliu kept taking them out of the food box.

Jiao San just entered the yamen last month, and he didn't dare to say anything, so Wang Yongke yelled, "My lord, you are too leisurely, and you still eat snacks."

Fu Qingkai knew that he had misunderstood, and before he had time to say it, Huang Xiliu explained for him, "What, my lord wants to find out what kind of food that man put the poison in, so that Lin Shitou could eat it. "

Wang Yong was a straightforward person, knowing that he had misunderstood, he cupped his fists and apologized to Fu Qing.

"Okay. Did you find anything?" Wu Yuyan asked Wang Yong, looking away from the plate of crystal cake under his eyelids.

"Hey, generally speaking, there is no." Wang Yong sighed, "This Lin family, the previous generation of the family was fond of gambling, and sneaked a small gamble, but was arrested by the previous county magistrate and punished." Unexpectedly, a lot of ailments came out after a meal, and the search for medical treatment emptied the family. The elders let go and left. Everyone knows that the emperor hates the word "gambling". If it exceeds five taels, it will be punished, if it exceeds ten taels, it will be sent to the army, and if it exceeds one hundred taels, it will be executed! So the husband and wife are working hard to make money from dawn to dusk, so that there is no one to look after their own children."

Fu Qingkai didn't say anything, the current emperor is a monarch who uses heavy codes, because the casino is too easy to be used by those who want to launder stolen money, so there is no sympathy for the word 'gambling', This is not a bad thing, it's just that if someone has gone astray and wants to reform, there may be no turning back.
