[75] I treat you as a brother

"Master Zhan, everything is here."

Zhan Zhao followed the yamen servant into the temporary room, looked around, took the booklet handed over by the other party and scanned it carefully.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find what I wanted.

He frowned and said, "Only these?"

"Everything is here." The yamen servant nodded, seeing that Zhan Zhao seemed to be looking for something, he boldly asked, "What is Mr. Zhan looking for? If it is convenient, you can tell your subordinates, maybe they will know."

Zhan Zhao said: "A jade carving ear."

"You mean the 'Tongtian Ear' of the Cao family?"

Zhan Zhao folded his hands behind his back and said, "After the death of the Cao family, the 'Tongtian Ear' disappeared, and the ears of the Cao family were also cut off—the ear is obviously the real purpose of killing the real murderer of the Cao family."

The yamen servant understood a bit: "So you think that the 'Tongtian Ear' should be in the hands of the dumb shopkeeper?"

Zhan Zhao glanced at him sideways: "On the contrary."

"Ah?" The yamen servant scratched his head, confused again.

Zhan Zhao: "'Tong Tian Er' should be in the murderer's hands, but Mu Jin doesn't have it, so that means she shouldn't be the real murderer."

The yamen servant was startled: "Master Zhan means that the murderer is someone else?"

Zhan Zhao didn't answer, he stood there for a moment and asked, "How's the cemetery going?"

The yamen servant replied: "The bones have been transported back, and the work is being examined."

Just as he was talking, someone came to report from outside the door: "Master Zhan, the results of the examination of the bones of the Mu family have come out."

Zhan Zhao: "How?"

"Master Zhan knows things like a god," said the outsider, "There are indeed traces of poisoning on the bones."

When he first heard from a buddy that Mu Jin’s family had died of illness one after another, Zhan Zhao became suspicious. Last night, he tricked Bai Yutang to dig a grave with him, also wanting to confirm this point. Who would have thought that the grave would not be dug, but he would pick up Yu Qian’s grave? It's cheap... let's not mention the purpose of that mysterious female snitch. After the preliminary trial of Yu Qian last night, Zhan Zhao ordered Xu Miao to send someone to dig up the grave that they hadn't finished digging. material.Now that the evidence is convincing, this Mujin girl is also a ruthless person. In order to avenge her sister, she actually started to test the medicine from the people around her.

Zhan Zhao: "Have Mukui's bones been dug up?"

"I dug it," said the yamen outside the door, "but it's strange that the tomb behind Yuzhuang Mountain is actually an empty tomb."

Zhan Zhao was not surprised at this point: "She has been able to swallow her anger for so many years for her sister, and plotted to kill so many people. Naturally, it is impossible to let her body stay in such a place."

She wanted to avenge her sister, and she had to keep her by her side at all times. When she saw her every day, she would imprint this hatred more clearly in her heart.

Zhan Zhao: "If I'm not mistaken, Mu Kui's bones should have been ground into powder and buried in the pot of flowers in Mu Jin's room."

To be able to do such a perverted thing, and still be a young girl who has not left the cabinet, already makes people feel terrified.As one might guess, Mr. Zhan, who can still say it so calmly, is not much better.

The two yamen servants looked at each other unconsciously, and they got goosebumps from a rare tacit understanding.

At this time, another yamen servant ran over, saw the strange atmosphere inside and outside the house, swallowed the words forcefully, and asked with a blink of his eyes inexplicably, "What's wrong?"

The two yamen servants didn't say anything, they turned their heads in unison, and stood silently with their hands down.

The new yamen servant then said: "Master Zhan, we have checked all the drugstores in the whole city, and among them there are three that Mu Jin often visits, and we have also obtained the prescriptions she holds, and all three prescriptions contain Mu Jin. The roots of sunflower."

As soon as the words fell, Xu Miao also stepped on the spot and walked over.

He was smiling all over his face, and when he saw Zhan Zhao, he grinned almost to the ears.

"Thanks to Mr. Zhan, such a difficult case was successfully solved in only three days!" This is almost unthinkable in this idiot's career as an official.

Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly: "Mu Jin pleaded guilty?"

"I admit it!" Xu Miao said with a smile, "She and Yu Qian have both pleaded guilty and charged."

Zhan Zhao's intuition was wrong: "Is Mu Jinren still alive?"

Xu Miao's expression froze slightly, and then she touched her nose with a guilty conscience: "...you should still be able to live." It's hard to say how long you can hold your breath.

Zhan Zhao's face changed on the spot, and he didn't say anything more to the idiot who had done more than succeed in his affairs, and walked quickly to the county government prison.

Outside the cell, the two guards were so overbearing that they actually sat there drinking wine and singing a little song.

The guard who sings the song is about ten tones, only enough to complete the five tones, but he still feels good about himself. After a good song, after some filtering by him, it has the effect of making the listener sad and the listener cry.

But the one who was on duty with him was a habitual sycophant, who not only didn't think his teeth were out of tune, but even slapped him with intoxication and enjoyment.

Zhan Zhao was swept in like a gust of wind, and when he saw this situation, he immediately became angry.

He didn't wait for the two sobers to see him, and directly slapped him from the air.Before those two could realize what happened, the table and chairs shattered with a "boom".

The two guards were also bounced away by this force and hit the wall hard.

With such a flying collision, the two of them woke up most of their wine in an instant.

The one who sang the song just now was the first to see Zhan Zhao, his face turned pale with fright, and he prostrated himself on the ground, unable to utter a word.

Zhan Zhao didn't want to listen to their nonsense, so he raised his eyelashes and walked in without looking at them.

In Zhan Zhao's guess, most likely Xu Miao was in a hurry to close the case, and before all the evidence was collected, he half threatened and half used torture to force people to plead guilty, and the matter was settled.

Just now he asked Xu Miao "Is the person still alive?" Seeing Xu Miao's expression basically confirmed his guess.

Now that the punishment has been used, it is too late to say anything.It's just that there are some things that Zhan Zhao hasn't figured out yet, and he has to bother the other party to tell them.

For example, the bundle that Mrs. Cao's family had hidden in advance.Another example is the unknown visitor who cut off his ear and took away the "Tongtian Ear".Another example is the troupe that suddenly disappeared overnight...

All kinds of doubts show that the case of the Cao family is not as simple as "seeking revenge".Zhan Zhao can also be sure that behind this incident, there must be a bigger organization and a bigger conspiracy, and this conspiracy is mostly related to the Bai Jintang incident four years ago.

Zhan Zhao doesn't expect Mu Jin to explain all the doubts to him, but at least he can reveal some clues, so that he can follow the clues and follow the clues.

However, when he turned into the prison, he turned the entire cell inside out, only to find that not only was there no proprietress, there was not even a single female mosquito inside.

The lock on the prison door was still hanging neatly, without any trace of damage.Although the two guards were drunk and blatantly neglected their duties, they were not so blind that someone came in and took a woman covered in wounds away from under their eyelids.

Gritting his teeth, Zhan Zhao suddenly punched the solid prison door.

Even though he didn't want to believe it in his heart, he still had to admit that the proprietress was afraid that, like the troupe, she was "removed" out of thin air by those people who hid behind her and didn't know her identity.
