Chapter 128 The Mistake Case

After leaving Wei Jinghan's yamen, Chu Xiaoyun couldn't wait to go back to the arrest room to see his little husband.This case has always been very busy, and he went to Fangchuan County for a few days, and he missed him even more because he didn't see him for many days.

When Chu Xiaoyun returned to the arresting room, the arresting officers on duty greeted him one after another.Chu Xiaoyun signaled everyone to be silent, and walked to the house.All the arresters just understood, so they didn't make any noise.

In his absence, the policemen would not come, the house was very quiet, Su Wen was alone at the desk, reading a book quietly, copying something on the notebook from time to time.

Chu Xiaoyun walked in lightly, and covered Su Wen's eyes from behind: "Guess who I am."

After saying this, Chu Xiaoyun felt that his actions were childish and old-fashioned.But this is his subconscious behavior.

Su Wen felt the people behind him, and when he heard this, he just put down his pen, put his hands on Chu Xiaoyun's, and said happily, "Husband, you are back."

Chu Xiaoyun held Su Wen's hand and put it down. Su Wen saw the light again and looked up at him.Chu Xiaoyun pulled the stool next to him and sat down on the stool beside Su Wen.

Chu Xiaoyun held Su Wen's hands in his palms and warmed them: "It's so cold, why don't you rest on the couch with the stove in hand. What are you busy with?"

The paper on Su Wenchao's table nuzzled his mouth: "I'm researching the recipe of a new spice rouge gouache, I have to go out and buy some raw materials and try it out."

Chu Xiaoyun looked at the handwriting on the table, and it was indeed the formula of some cosmetics.He said distressedly: "What time is this? You are still busy with this. Now our family can live a decent life, so don't work so hard."

Su Wen shook his head: "No. You weren't here a few days ago, I was bored and went out for a stroll, but I ran into Sister Zhou."

I haven't heard this name for a long time, and it was quite strange for a while.Hearing Su Wen mention Zhou Ying again, Chu Xiaoyun subconsciously thought of her difficult livelihood: "What's wrong? Can she maintain her livelihood now?"

Su Wendao: "Of course. Sister Zhou Ying's business is doing well now. It was the last time when the lady from the capital went back, she gave away the sachets, silk wrappings, and brocade paintings bought from her, which attracted the attention of the ladies in the capital. There are merchants from the capital who come to place orders with her. Now Miss Zhou Ying doesn’t have to wash clothes or set up stalls for others. I can’t handle the orders from the capital.”

Su Wen thought for a while and said: "By the way, she also gave up her booth. She said that she now has a way to make a living, so she gave the booth to others to earn a living."

"She is also a kind person." Chu Xiaoyun was also quite moved when he heard the words, "But what does this have to do with you wanting to study a new formula for makeup?"

"The sachet needs to be paired with spices. These are things that girls like. Naturally, they are easy to sell. The vendors in the capital also asked Sister Zhou. Without these matching items, the vendors would have much less goods. I want to help her " Su Wen added after finishing speaking, "Sister Zhou refuses to let her go, but I want to help her."

"I've sorted out the documents from the house and the documents from the arresting room during this time, and I don't have much to do. I'll just do some exercise, okay?" Seeing that Chu Xiaoyun was silent, Su Wen rarely said anything. Jiao.

Chu Xiaoyun had nothing to do with him, so he rubbed his soft hair: "Then you can't tire yourself out."

"En." Su Wen nodded vigorously, and then remembered the reason why Chu Xiaoyun went out, "Husband, is there any progress in the case?"

"Great progress, almost the truth about what happened to Uncle Yu back then has come out." Chu Xiaoyun said, "He didn't make a mistake in the test back then."

"That's good." It's good to know such a result, Su Wen never asks about the detailed case.Yu He has a good relationship with her husband, and now Uncle Yu can get rid of the haze of the past, which is a happy thing, but her husband doesn't seem to be very happy.

"Then why don't you seem very happy?" Su Wen asked, holding Chu Xiaoyun's face in both hands.

"Although everyone knows what is going on, there is a lack of the most direct witness evidence. My lord said that it is only an inference and cannot be included in the file." Chu Xiaoyun hesitated and said, "But now Qian Zhu is dead."

Su Wen nestled into Chu Xiaoyun's arms: "But you have tried your best, I think Brother Yu should understand."

Chu Xiaoyun's eyes fell on Su Wen's bulging stomach.After a few days of not seeing each other, Su Wen's belly grew a lot, and the changes became more obvious as the later stage progressed.

Chu Xiaoyun put his hands on Su Wen's stomach, feeling the flow of blood under his hands, and his mood improved a lot.

"Hmm." He replied with a faint smile, still pondering where to start to connect the entire chain of evidence.

Not long after the two had been warm, a policeman knocked on the door.The two quickly separated and straightened their clothes.

"Come in." Chu Xiaoyun sat upright behind the table, "What's the matter?"

"Just now the concierge came to report that Qian Zhu's daughter-in-law was at the gate of the county government office with her son, saying that she wanted to see you." The policeman who came to report quickly said.

"Qian Zhu's daughter-in-law wants to see me?" Chu Xiaoyun was quite puzzled, "Did she say anything?"

"No, I said I wanted to see you, so I said it face to face."

Chu Xiaoyun thought for a while: "Bring her in."

Chu Xiaoyun wanted to talk about business, so Su Wen got up and went back to the inner room where he rested later.Seeing him get up, Chu Xiaoyun hurried forward to support him.It was not until the person was settled on the couch that he returned to the front room with peace of mind.

After Su Wen was settled, not long after Chu Xiaoyun was seated, the policeman came in with Qian Zhu's wife and children.Chu Xiaoyun asked their mother and son to sit down, and the policeman who brought them over gave them a cup of tea before exiting the small room and closing the door.

Chu Xiaoyun looked at the creakingly closed door, and said to Qian Zhu's daughter-in-law: "Mr. Qian Xu, I don't know what you want from me?"

Shaking her hands, Mrs. Qian Xu took out a notebook from the bag she carried with her, stared at it for a long time, and then handed it to her son with a sad face.Qian Cheng took the letter from his mother, walked to Chu Xiaoyun's desk, and handed it to Chu Xiaoyun with both hands.

Chu Xiaoyun took the letter from Qian Cheng, looked at Qian Xu with some doubts, and waited for the other party's answer.

Qian Xushi wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and then said slowly: "This notebook is written by the family man. Detective Yu asked my husband-in-law to ask for it. It must be this."

Chu Xiaoyun was extremely shocked when he heard the words, he hastily opened the notebook in his hand, and read it carefully.

The detailed description in the letter written by the chief officer of Hejing County who participated in the accidental eating case back then perfectly connects the current reasoning that lacks evidence.

Time goes back to 17 years ago.

"Old Qian, old Qian—" a rough voice came from outside Wu Zuo's room, and the voice arrived before anyone arrived, "You are back."

"Why are you making such a fuss?" Qian Wuzuo stopped what he was doing and looked up after someone entered the room.

Qian Wuzuo is the chief Wuzuo of Hejing County. He was ordered to go to a neighboring county on business a few days ago to assist the neighboring county in examining a highly decomposed corpse. He just returned to the county government today.

"It's like this. A few days ago, we received a report from the villagers of Baishui Village to the west of the county government, saying that a refugee named Dunzi died in their village. Earlier, Yu Wu did an autopsy and said that he was poisoned to death. But in the past two days There are rumors in Baishui Village that Dunzi was poisoned to death, but his body has not turned black, so I wonder if there is a mistake." The visitor said.

The person who spoke was the head arrester of the Hejing County Government at that time.

"Is there such a thing?" Qian Wuzuo suddenly regained his energy when it came to his own affairs and such a strange thing happened.

"Yes, I didn't believe it when I heard the report from the brothers below. To confirm this, I went to see it. It is true. The body of the pier really didn't turn black. I heard you said that it was poisoned to death. The dead body must have turned black within seven days at most. Yu Yuzuo also said so. When we received the report from the villagers, Dunzi had been dead for three days. Adding these few days, seven days have indeed passed.” County Government Head catcher said.

"There are such strange things?" Qian Wuzuo pondered for a while and said, "Then you hurry up to find Yu Wuzuo and ask him to go and examine the corpse again."

"It was his test last time, and now people say that he is not allowed. The relatives and friends of the deceased also said that Yu Yu will not be allowed to do the test again, fearing that he will not be allowed. I am in a hurry. Fortunately, you came back in time." The county government arrested the head and said.

"A relative or friend of the deceased still has the right to choose what to do?" Qian Wuzuo expressed surprise.

"Isn't that involving refugees? You also know that there was a fight at the border three years ago, and many refugees went south. In order to appease the hearts of the people, the imperial court always showed them extra favors." The head catcher said, "Clean up quickly, Follow me to Baishui Village."

Qian Wuzuo thought for a while: "Yu Butou's apprentices have already graduated from the teacher, and they are highly skilled. They are all well-known young heroes in the nearby counties and counties. Logically, it is not so obvious that poisoning is wrong."

"Don't think about this for now, you should go and re-examine it quickly." The head catcher said.

Qian Wuzuo thought for a while: "It's better to call Yu Wuzuo together. Even if there is any problem, he will witness it in person. After all, we will work together in the future."

"Okay. This is no problem. I'll send someone to notify him." The county government arrester readily agreed.

They rushed to Dunzi's house in Baishui Village, and Qian Wuzuo asked Yu Baili to take the portrait of the corpse that day to learn about the corpse, and then re-examined the dead after knowing something in his chest.

It was already the ninth day of the deceased's death. After a long time, the face of the deceased was so decayed that he couldn't see his face clearly, but he could still vaguely discern the bleeding from his mouth and nose.The autopsy showed that although it was a cool autumn day, after all, he had been dead for many days, and the maggots had already started to wriggle in the corpse. The sight was really disgusting.

Qian Wuzuo and Yu Baili covered their mouths and noses with towels for protection, and checked them one by one.It was found that the body of the deceased had not really turned black. Although the nails were gray, there was no sign of black and blue.He pricked his throat with a silver needle and found that although the color of the silver needle had changed, it did not turn black.Qian Wuzuo guessed from this that the deceased showed signs of poisoning, but was not poisoned by drugs.

He asked the county government arrester and the arrester guarding Dunzi's house about the scene when he first arrived at the crime scene, and found two kinds of food with contradictory properties from the leftovers on the dinner table of Dunzi's house.The attributes of these two foods are mutually exclusive, and if people who don't know how to eat eat them together, a large amount is enough to produce toxins that can kill people.So Qian Wuzuo came to his own conclusion about the death of Dunzi.

Die by mistake.

Yu Baili was also present during the whole process. Although he couldn't believe it, he had to accept the reality.

Having reached this conclusion, the entire county government breathed a sigh of relief.Through their negotiations with Dunzi's relatives and friends, the other party finally accepted this reality and agreed to Dunzi's burial, and the case was resolved.

The Hejing county government was full of joy, and the county magistrate He Yuqi specially rewarded Qian Wuzuo for this.In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Dunzi was buried the next day.

On the day of burial, as the head of the county government office, Qian Wuzuo once again verified the integrity of the corpse.When the people collecting the corpse put on the shroud and lifted the arm of the deceased, they found that the corpse was the same as the one seen yesterday, and there was a mole missing on the right armpit.

Obviously saw some yesterday.
