Chapter 130 (1/2)
As soon as it was time, Mo xingle came out of the Yamen with several yamen constables yesterday.
He changed his clothes and vaguely heard that there was fat and powder. Looking at the following people, they were all in high spirits. Seeing ah Yao smiling at her, it can be seen that Mo xingle was really in place yesterday.
Fifty Liang's pay for four officers to run errands for a few days. It's worth it!
”Xiao yaozhu, you've been waiting for a long time. Let's go.”
On the way, Mo xingle told her the message he got from Zhuzuo: ”... It's not arsenic or rat poison. It may be poisoning caused by food conflict to death.”
”Here is the food list. Every time master is invited to the banquet, he will know in advance the preferences and taboos of the guests present. She said that whether a banquet is successful or not and whether the guests are happy or not account for a small part. We can't let them come on the occasion and return in frustration. There is no conflict between the materials on the food list. You can take the food list and ask another cook or the cook in the restaurant. ”
A Yao handed over the food list - she copied another one. The confessions from the top to the bottom of the Qin house are now in the Yamen. The two food lists before and after modification will also become part of the evidence.
”Well, yesterday, the servant girl said that there were five people in a table and four people couldn't drink. She knew it before she let them drink. There's no problem with the kitchen of Qin's house. Then you have to ask shopkeeper Gao and the magistrate. Do you know if Zhou Qing drank, what kind of wine he drank, and who provided it? ”
The alcohol smell on the autopsy became the key to solving the case.
When shopkeeper Gao saw Ah Yao coming, he thought she had figured it out. An old face smiled and blossomed. Unexpectedly, ah Yao was followed by several yamen servants. Suddenly, his hands and feet were stiff, he swallowed his saliva, greeted him and asked, ”how many officials do you want to be sharp? The shop has fresh lotus root tips. It's best to eat in this muggy day. ”
”I'm not here to make a point. There's a box. No, I have something to ask you.” Mo xingle said.
Shopkeeper Gao lowered his eyes and glanced at the double iron whips pinned around Mo xingle's waist. He quickly smiled: ”yes, please come here.”
When they went upstairs, the familiar diners in the store whispered, ”there won't be a problem in the store, will there? A few days ago, I heard that something had happened to Zui xianlou. What's the matter these days? ”
”I don't think so. If there is a problem, shopkeeper Gao will be taken away and closed down on the spot.”
”What's going on?”
”Isn't that kid the little boss of the sweet cake shop, the constable and the little boss? I heard that Zuixian building is a restaurant under the name of Wangyue. Now Wangyue is still locked in Nanxun prison. There is no news. It is estimated that it is a case investigation. Alas, it's a pity to hear that Wangyue is still the daughter of the imperial chef of the previous dynasty. ”
The words of the diner came into Mo xingle's ears. His footsteps paused and entered the box with shopkeeper Gao.
Two yamen servants are guarding outside the door, and two captains are standing on the left and right of Mo xingle. Ah Yao is ready to write. The shopkeeper is sweating cold when he sees the posture of the joint trial of the three halls. He is not guilty, but everyone is nervous.
”May I help you?”
”Don't be nervous. We're here to ask you some questions. If the shopkeeper is willing to cooperate, it won't hinder you much time; But if the shopkeeper deceives us... Then we have to spend time with you. ” Mo xingle began to get to the point by beating it first:
”Please tell the shopkeeper what you've done all day.”
The small banquet only starts in the evening. In the morning, he settled accounts in the store as usual. After noon, he saw that there were not many people in the store, so he took a bath in the bathhouse, went home to change his clothes, and arrived at the Qin house in the evening.
Mo xingle Yu Guang glanced at a Yao's record, followed him and asked, ”who did you see when you came to the Qin house, and do you know the order in which they came?”
Shopkeeper Gao recalled: ”the banquet is in Qin's house. Mrs. Qin is a female generation. It's not suitable to visit early. It's not good if it's late. So I waited at the door for boss Zhou to go in together. Before coming to boss Zhou, Cao's head arrived, and I went in with him - unexpectedly, boss Zhou was the first of us. The magistrate pressed the time when the banquet began. It should be Youshi. ”
