Chapter 190, take a sip of wine

Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, Chen Yuan asked, "In other words, when you came in, you saw De Cai saving Mr. Yu."

"Yes."

"You and the boy next to you can show you the posture of Decai and Master Yu in the water at that time."

Yu Tao and the boy next to him turned to look at Yu Enming.

Yu Enming still cooperated, "Yu Hai, you and Yu Tao give a good demonstration to the government officials."

At this time, the two boys took two steps forward with confidence. Without any further discussion, they just confirmed who was pretending to be whom, and then started demonstrating without hesitation.

Yu Tao is in front and Yu Hai is behind.

Yu Tao hung his head weakly and leaned on Yu Hai's arms.

Yu Hai clasped his hands under Yu Tao's armpits and made a gesture of pushing through the water.

Although it is different from the modern standard underwater rescue posture and is not considered a standard, there is nothing wrong with this posture. It is also consistent with the bruises Chen Yuan found on Yu Shouqian's armpit and ribs during the autopsy.

"When you rushed in, you saw two people on the water?"

Yu Hai and Yu Tao stopped moving and nodded in unison, "Yes."

"At that time, Mr. Yu no longer struggled."

"Yes, the master did not take any action at that time."

"Where were they in the water when you heard the call for help and came in?"

"When we came in through the moon cave gate over there, we couldn't see the master. When we ran there, we saw the housekeeper pulling the master to swim half a foot away from the shore."

Chen Yuan looked along their hands and ran about 40 meters from Yuedong Gate to a position where he could see the water conservancy situation.

"The younger ones helped the steward to pull the master out of the water. At that time, the master was no longer breathing. The steward ordered us to notify the eldest son and find the doctor. He also asked us to take him to the right wing of the hall."

Yu Tao Yu Hai's words were also recognized by other girls waiting outside the hospital.

Yu Enming also took the opportunity to speak, "I was checking the accounts in the shop at that time. When I got the news and came back, Doctor Liu told me that my father had died. He also listened to the words of the boy and the housekeeper, and smelled the words coming from my father's mouth.

When the smell of alcohol came out, I thought that my father drowned after being drunk. Then I asked the servants to change my father into dry clothes and arrange his body. As for the table of food and wine, I didn’t think much about it and let them go together.

Cleaned up."

From this point of view, Yu Enming had alibi and was just deceived by the housekeeper's words. No wonder the Yamen did not arrest him for interrogation.

In this way, no one was staring at the bowls and chopsticks on the table for a long time. Chen Yuan looked at Yu Tao again, "When you were clearing away the bowls and chopsticks, did you notice whether the other bowl and chopsticks were dry or wet?

?”

Everyone looked surprised, and the maid and servant also lowered their heads and began to think.

Others were not sure, with a look of reminiscence on their faces, "I guess I did it."

One of the maids looked uneasy, and when she saw what they said, she didn't even dare to speak.

Chen Yuan noticed her expression and said, "If you find something different, just say so."

The maid glanced at Chen Yuan, then turned to look at Yu Enming. Yu Enming sighed, then nodded again, and then she whispered, "I served the bowls and chopsticks, and I collected them as well. The other bowl and the wine glass are all

It's dry, but the chopsticks are a little moist, and the color is darker than when it was served."

That is to say, someone did have dinner with Mr. Yu at that time, and someone took the opportunity to wash the dishes and chopsticks, and deliberately wiped them dry with a cloth.

Bowls and wine glasses are easy to dry, but bamboo chopsticks absorb water, and the water on the surface is easy to wipe off, and the water inside needs to be left to dry for a long time.

"When you came in to serve the food, where did you see the butler standing?"

The maid who just replied said, "Over there."

"Take me there."

"yes."

Chen Yuan followed the maid to the water gallery and stood where the maid had seen the butler standing when serving food.

Then, Chen Yuan looked towards the dining table in the pavilion of the waterside pavilion. He could indeed clearly see the people at the wine table and the wine glasses on the table.

However, the butler had stood here that day. If he lied, there would be no such careless loopholes.

Only the bit of wine in Mr. Yu's throat can prove that Decai lied.

When Mr. Yu fell into the water, only De Cai was present.

If Mr. Yu had not been drinking, he would not have accidentally fallen into the water. Even if he fell into the water, he would have called for help.

If Decai had dinner with Mr. Yu and found an opportunity to push Mr. Yu into the water, then grab Mr. Yu's arm and push him into the water, drowning Mr. Yu, it would be possible.

When the boys heard the commotion and ran in, both of them were still soaking in the water. There must have been no alcohol in Master Yu's throat at that time.

"After Decai gave you the order, did he always stay by the body of Mr. Yu?"

"Butler De was so tired that he couldn't walk anymore. He said he wanted to rest at the waterside pavilion. We were worried about him, so we sent him there."

"So there was no one else in Shuixie at that time?"

The servants and maids all looked uncertain, "There must be no one left."

So at that time, there was only one butler left in Shuixie, and it was entirely possible that he would find an opportunity to wash the dishes.

"When did the butler return to guard Master Yu's body?"

Yu Tao said, "The housekeeper changed his clothes. When he arrived at the penthouse, Dr. Liu was already here. At that time, we were all waiting outside the penthouse on the right side and did not dare to leave until the eldest son came back."

That is to say, until the eldest son came back, Decai had no chance to enter the ear room and pour that sip of wine down Master Yu's throat.

This sip of wine is the only thing that makes people suspicious in this case. If the murderer deliberately drank this sip of wine to pretend that Master Yu was drunk, it would be superfluous.

Judging from the current testimony, De is the only one who has the chance to kill Master Yu. In order to cover up his lie, he must give Master Yu that sip of wine.

But he didn't have the chance to drink.

"Before the eldest son comes back, who are the people waiting in the right wing?"

Yu Tao replied, "Aunt Yourong, Lianqiu, Qingyan, Mingyu."

These four names passed between Chen Yuan's lips.

From what she understood, Aunt Rong was childless but could have a place in the Yu Mansion. If the aunts with children listened to her, she could not be incompetent.

And Qingyan Mingyu is not a small character who can be bullied.

Even Lian Qiu, who managed to escape from the Yu Mansion to report to the government under the blockade of the eldest son, is also a capable person.

If Aunt Rong heard the servant's reply exactly the same as the eldest son's, why was she so sure that Yu Shouqian was killed?

When these four people get together, even if the virtuous and talented people get into the back room, it is impossible for them to drink a sip of wine.

The sip of wine in the throat was fatal to De Cai. Without that sip of wine, Chen Yuan would not have dissected the body and examined the stomach. De Cai's lies could easily be fooled.

At that time, Mr. Yu accidentally fell into the water and drowned while drunk.

In ancient times, an immediate dissection of the stomach could verify how many bowls of rice noodles had been eaten, but there was no way to determine how many glasses of wine had been consumed because there was still soup with the meal, and it was also difficult to verify the alcohol concentration.

It happened that someone deliberately poured that sip of wine down Mr. Yu’s throat.

Is Aunt Rong’s reason for doing this, to take this opportunity to get rid of the eldest young master?

Where is Qingyan Mingyu?

Do they have a reason for taking this sip of wine?

"Who arrived at the right room first?"
