Detective in the Red Chamber

"I... It's true that I hate him, but I really didn't poison him!"

Wang Bingxian yelled in panic, but who would listen to him?

Zhu Hu gritted his teeth and said with a sneer, "Did you poison my younger brother? You just need to call the cook to find out!"

As he said that, he winked at the servants of Zhu's family, and those servants immediately went to the back kitchen, and brought the chef, servants, and wine-serving buddies who had been guarded for a long time into the hall.

Zhu Hu coldly scanned them one by one, only to see those who were all silent, and then suddenly asked, "Who brought the wine bowl on the chairman?"

puff~

A shop clerk immediately fell to his knees and shouted in a panic, "The villain is wronged! The villain went to the wine jars and bowls served in the back kitchen with other people. How could he have the opportunity to poison the bowls under the eyes of everyone?! "

The shop assistant's arguments are much clearer and more organized than that of Wang Bingxian.

However, someone in the crowd immediately refuted, "You may have poisoned others halfway, taking advantage of other people's unpreparedness! It was a mess at the time, who would have noticed what you did on the way?!"

When everyone heard the words, they all took it for granted.

Zhu Hu's face became gloomy again, and he was about to ask him if he was instructed by Wang Bingxian.

But the shop clerk hastily distinguished, "I am wronged, my lord! The wine jar weighs at least a dozen catties, and with fifteen wine bowls on each table, it is already very difficult for the villain to hold the wooden tray with both hands. Shot to poison?!"

Because it was a gathering of warriors, there was no preparation for wine jugs at all. They were all put directly into the wine jug of ten catties, and with the weight of wooden trays and wine bowls, it was probably more than twenty catties.

In particular, it was difficult to keep the balance between the wine jar and the wine bowl, and it was indeed unlikely that he would free up his hands and feet halfway to secretly poison Zhu Peng's bowl.

Everyone was thinking silently, but the clever guy seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said, "My lords, I know who poisoned me!"

Saying that, he got up and pointed to Wang Bingxian's valet, "It's him, it must be him! When the young boss called out everyone in the back kitchen to give lectures, I saw him sneak into the back kitchen with my own eyes!"

The boy's expression changed drastically, and he shouted in a hurry, "Don't spit blood, it's the uncle who asked me to guard the door of the back kitchen to see who would sneak into the back kitchen! I didn't go in at all, how could I be in the bowl?" Poisoned?!"

This case really took a turn for the worse!

Everyone focused their attention on Wang Bingxian again, but after seeing his complexion changed several times, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I did ask him to guard the door! Because a few days ago, I suddenly received an anonymous letter saying As long as I am willing to call out everyone in the kitchen that day, someone will take the opportunity to teach Zhu Peng a lesson!"

Speaking of this, he hurriedly distinguished for himself, "I didn't know that person would poison, I thought he just wanted to punish Zhu Peng!"

But Zhu Hu ignored his distinction, just frowned and waited for the boy from before, and asked, "You said you were guarding the door at the time, so did you see someone sneaking in?"

"Yes, yes! The villain did see a person sneaking into the kitchen!"

As the young man said, he groped in the crowd with his feet on his feet, and suddenly pointed to someone in the corner and shouted in surprise, "It's him, it's him! I saw him sneak into the back kitchen with my own eyes. He must have done it." poison!"

Chapter 75 The Gathering Poisoning Incident in the Same Year【Part [-]】

2000 words can't break the chapter, so I have to write a chapter with 3000 words.

Everyone followed the boy's guidance and looked, only to see a skinny man with a stooped back on the last seat in the southwest seat, trying to hide under the shadow of others.

"Jiang Yunhe? How could it be you?!"

Seeing the man's appearance clearly, Zhu Hu couldn't help but blurted out and asked, "My third younger brother is now rushing about your recovery, but why did you poison him?!"

"Ha...haha...hahaha..."

Before the words fell, I heard Jiang Yunhe laughing sadly, "Get back? Running around? Hahaha... I'm bah~! I was blind at the beginning, so I believed this bastard's nonsense, but I was deceived by him and went bankrupt. He even inexplicably owed a bad debt!"

"A few days ago I went to ask him for an explanation, but he didn't even show his face. He just asked a servant to give me a penny, saying it was 'I'm playing a clown to make him happy these days as a reward'!"

"That's not enough, he's actually thinking about my pair of children, and wants to put it in the house as a plaything!"

"Ha... haha... That's right, I poisoned his wine bowl, but he asked for it himself! He deserves to die, his mother should have died a long time ago!"

He growled and hissed, and his hunched body gradually straightened up, and it was only at this time that everyone realized that the man who was still slumped just a moment ago was actually a man with broad shoulders, thin waist, and eight feet tall!

Thinking about it, Jiang Yunhe is unlucky enough. He has practiced martial arts for many years, and finally got a part-time job. As a result, his subordinates were trapped in prison first, and then he was cheated of all his savings in the same year. Bad debts—whoever is responsible for this kind of thing, I'm afraid I can't help but want to take revenge, right?

So everyone was silent about it, and even Zhu Hu didn't know whether he should go forward to seek 'justice' for Zhu Peng.

"So it was you who poisoned me!"

At this time, a person stepped forward and pointed at Jiang Yunpeng's nose, and angrily said, "You want to kill Zhu Peng, even if you do it, why do you want to involve me?!"

This person is none other than Wang Bingxian.

When everyone heard this, they remembered the 'anonymous letter'. It seems that Wang Bingxian was indeed taken advantage of.

"what……"

But Jiang Yunhe gave a strange laugh, looked at Wang Bingxian obliquely, and said with disdain, "Wang Bingxian, you really know how to complain first! Just take a look, what is this?!"

As he spoke, he took out a handkerchief full of characters from his bosom, and threw it at Wang Bingxian.

Wang Bingxian was about to take it in his hand, but Zhu Hu grabbed the veil first, and recited it from beginning to end.

But it turned out that this was also an anonymous letter, full of angry words. First, he scolded Zhu Peng, and then revealed that Zhu Peng was coveting Jiang Yunhe's twin children, and planned to use the hands of debt collectors to take the two sons and daughters. Only the seven-year-old siblings are living in the house as playthings!

Later, when the subject changed, the anonymous person expressed his hope that he could work together with Jiang Yunhe to get rid of Zhu Peng, who was not as good as a beast. He also presented a bottle of poison and an action plan with the letter.

It is said to be an action plan, but the content is actually simple and tight.

But it means that before the party of the same year, I have a way to lure away the people in the kitchen, and Jiang Yunhe just needs to sneak in and smear the poison on the wine bowl next to the 30-year champion red. Send the poison bowl to Zhu Peng.

After Zhu Hu finished reading this 'anonymous letter', Jiang Yunhe sneered again, "I was only dubious at first, but someone came to my door the next day and forced me to sell my children and daughters to pay off my debts! It was because Zhu Peng was so deceitful that I risked it all." I am ordered to go, intending to act according to Wang Bingxian's plan..."

Wang Bingxian hurriedly distinguished, "What is my plan, don't spout blood!"

Jiang Yunhe ignored it at all, and continued, "In the evening, I was guarding near the kitchen early, and I found out that everyone in the back kitchen was called out by Wang Bingxian to give a lecture, so I sneaked into the kitchen, and sure enough, I found the most conspicuous position. One jar of Zhuangyuanhong, while the other jars are all ten-year-old Nuuhong!"

After saying these two ifs in a row, Jiang Yunhe's eyes sharpened, and he asked aggressively, "Wang Bingxian, besides you, the young owner of the restaurant, who else can arrange these two things so seamlessly?!"

"I... I I I... I didn't! I really didn't!"

Wang Bingxian panicked again, yelling at a loss, and tried to step forward to tear Jiang Yunhe, but before he could do so, Zhu Hu grabbed his wrist.

"Everyone!"

I just heard Zhu Hu say in a deep voice, "No matter who the two of them are in charge of, the fact that they conspired to poison and kill my brother-in-law to death is now hard evidence--please also ask me to be a personal witness to the two men. Send it to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial!"

Although Zhu Peng was unpopular, in the face of his cheap old father-in-law, this witness must be inappropriate.

So everyone agreed with a loud bang, and they took Jiang Yunhe and Wang Bingxian into custody and sent them to the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, I suddenly heard someone behind me say loudly, "Everyone, please stop!"

Everyone looked back suspiciously, only to see that Sun Shaozong sat at Zhu Peng's original position at some point, and there was a sixth-rank captain named Xu Shouye standing beside him.

"what!"

Everyone didn't know what tricks Sun Shaozong was up to, so Zhu Hu slapped his forehead, bowed apologetically and said, "Brother Sun, don't blame me, I was in a moment of desperation, but I was a little bit out of control-these two criminals should have been Brother Sun is sent to the Ministry of Punishment, which is justified."

It was only when everyone heard the words that they suddenly realized, and then they all felt a little disdainful.

Just now, Sun Shaozong was just like a transparent person. Apart from proving that the poison was poured in a bowl, he didn't say anything useful. Fortunately, he still has the face to claim credit for it!

Could it be that the previous cases also picked other people's fruits in this way?

Facing everyone's contemptuous gazes, Sun Shaozong smiled sarcasticly, and spread his hands and said, "If you want to send the criminal to the Ministry of Punishment, there is no need to be in a hurry—how about asking Brother Zhu to solve some doubts in my heart for me?"

Zhu Hu hesitated and said, "But I don't know what the question is?"

"It's easy to say!"

Sun Shaozong fiddled with the wine bowl on the table, and asked with a smile, "The first thing I want to know is how exactly did Zhu Peng choose this poisoned wine bowl? You know, this bowl is his own." And he gave himself a second bowl!"

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the words, and then they couldn't help but have some doubts in their hearts-Zhu Peng's initiative to divide the bowl was obviously a temporary idea. Could it be that Wang Bingxian and Jiang Yunhe could even predict this kind of thing in advance? !

Zhu Hu also frowned, and tentatively asked, "In Brother Sun's opinion, what mechanism is there?"

Seeing that he didn't force Wang Bingxian and Jiang Yunhe to question, but directly asked himself, Sun Shaozong's smile suddenly became stronger, and then he talked eloquently, "I speculate that the mastermind behind the design of this poisoning plan may not be a sophisticated person! "

"He took it for granted that Brother Jiang would put the poison in the first wine bowl, so that the poisoned wine bowl would be sent to the most respected person as a matter of course!"

"Unfortunately, some unexpected errors occurred in his plan—Brother Jiang didn't put the poison in the first bowl, but in the second bowl!"

"As for the reason for choosing the second bowl..."

Sun Shaozong turned his gaze to Jiang Yunhe, and asked with a smile, "Probably because the poison was a little conspicuous under the light, Brother Jiang was afraid of being discovered in advance, so he had no choice but to do it—Brother Jiang, am I right?"

Jiang Yunhe nodded and said, "That's true! It doesn't look like much outside, but the poison is very eye-catching when reflected by the stove next to it, so I had to swap the poisonous wine bowl with the one below."

After a pause, he added, "Because it was written in the letter, someone would naturally serve Zhu Peng with the poisoned wine at that time, so I thought there was an internal response at the banquet—who knew that in the end it was Zhu Peng who took the initiative to divide the bowl. I thought I was going to hurt someone else!"

"Haha, that's why I said that the person who planned behind the scenes was not careful!" Sun Shaozong laughed, and said again, "Because of this unexpected situation, the person behind the scene had no choice but to change it temporarily." Plan, take the initiative to stand up and put the poisonous bowl in front of Zhu Peng."

"and many more!"

Zhu Hu exclaimed in astonishment, "Isn't it my third brother who took the initiative to share the bowl?! You... you mean..."

Sun Shaozong said firmly, "That's right! The person who planned all this behind the scenes was Zhu Peng himself! Because at that time, no one except him could accurately choose the wine bowl that was smeared with poison! And only he could Guiding Wang Bingxian and Jiang Yunhe so accurately, forcing them to join forces to poison!"

"what?!"

"how can that be?!"

"Zhu Peng committed suicide?!"

"Could it be that he put in so much effort just to die at the hands of Wang Bingxian and Jiang Yunhe?!"

There was an uproar in the hall, and everyone felt unbelievable, but apart from this speculation, there was no way to explain what happened just now!

Wang Bingxian and Jiang Yunhe were also stunned for a moment.

The two couldn't help asking in unison, "He...why did he do this?!"

"Oh~!"

This time it was not Sun Shaozong who came forward to respond, but Zhu Hu who was beside them.

I only heard Zhu Hu sighed, and said leisurely, "You all know what happened to my younger brother in recent years. On the one hand, he became perverse and domineering, and vented all his dissatisfaction on others; When I mention it, I often say that I have been hit by a demon, and I can't help but want to do evil."

"At that time, I already felt that his life was very depressing, but I didn't expect that he would... actually..."

This time he spoke half of what he said again, but everyone present had already figured out what he hadn't said.

It's just that Zhu Peng couldn't bear the condemnation of his conscience, and finally came up with this crazy plan, so that he would die in the hands of the two most sorry people in his life.

I have to say, this is really an extremely absurd farce!

"Since Brother Zhu thinks Brother Ling committed suicide."

However, just when everyone thought the truth had come to light, Sun Shaozong said with a smile, "Then I have a few doubts here, and I need to ask Brother Zhu for advice!"

Chapter 76 The Gathering Poisoning Incident of the Same Year [Part [-]]

It is more than 3000 words. It is said that the protagonist is the criminal judge who is in charge of investigating the case. It is his duty to be there after the case, and the only one who was there beforehand was this case. Isn't it too worrying?I have never seen in the real world, the chief of public security or the captain of the criminal police is disliked by others.

Doubt? !

From the initial conspiratorial poisoning to the present absurd suicide, the twists and turns during the period are already overwhelming—but now Sun Shaozong actually expressed doubts? !

When everyone was shocked, they couldn't help but speak up one after another, urging Sun Shaozong to quickly announce the so-called 'doubtful points'!

Seeing Sun Shaozong pointing out two fingers, he said, "Actually, when inspecting Zhu Peng's body, I have always paid attention to two details. First, he deliberately used his left sleeve to cover up when he was drinking; second, it was his Wet marks on the front and cuffs."

"It's an ancient etiquette to cover up with your sleeve when drinking, and only women and those who worship the ancients would do that." As he said, Sun Shaozong glanced sideways at the corpse on the ground, "Brother Zhu, I'm afraid the two have nothing to do with each other. son?"

Most people were pondering along his train of thought, but some people put forward their own guesses, "Maybe... maybe he didn't want people to see himself drinking the poisoned wine?"

"There is some truth to this kind of speculation." Sun Shaozong smiled, and said, "However, if we combine the wet marks on his front and speculate together, the result may be different—come on, please take a look at Brother Xu first. This dress."

As he said that, he winked at Xu Shouye, and Xu Shouye immediately stepped forward and raised his arms to show everyone the royal blue gown he was wearing.

Everyone also took a closer look, only to find that the front and back of his clothes were wet, and there was still a faint smell of alcohol.

"Just now I found out that brother Xu's clothes are made of the same material as Zhu Peng's, and the style is not much different, so I asked him to do a little test."

When Sun Shaozong said this, he bowed his hands to Xu Shouye, "Brother Xu, I offended you."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly picked up half a bowl of wine and splashed it on Xu Shouye's right shoulder without any explanation. The wine quickly soaked Xu Shouye's sleeve, and dripped drippingly along the cuff onto the ground.

What is this doing?

Everyone was looking at it inexplicably, but they saw Sun Shaozong pointing at Zhu Peng's body again, and said, "You young brothers, why not choose a few people to go forward and take a look at the wet marks on Zhu Peng's front, and the one on Brother Xu's right arm. what a difference."

Upon hearing this, several people immediately stepped forward enthusiastically, commented around the corpse, and grabbed Xu Shouye's sleeve to look at it from beginning to end.

"It doesn't seem to be any different, does it?"

"Yes, if there is any difference, it is that Lao Xu has more wine on his sleeves, and less spilled on the corpse's clothes."

"But this... shouldn't be a big difference, right?"
