I just came here to visit Wei Ziqing and Shen Yang who were in prison, and to ask some questions. I never thought that Hu Maoxi would let her look at the files easily.
This is really an unexpected surprise.
It seems that those two calls of "teacher" to Mr. Nie and Mr. Chang were indeed not in vain.
Chu Nanzhi was secretly pleased with herself, and immediately thanked her: "So, thank you so much, Lord County Magistrate."
Hu Maoxi kept his word and asked Sun Xian Cheng to find all the files on the Tong'an Village poisoning case and hand them over to Chu Nanzhi for her to read them one by one.
While Chu Nanzhi was looking at the files, the two old guys went to tease Erbao Lin Ruixi:
"Er Bao, you said that your mother-in-law beats and scolds you at home every day, why are you willing to go out with her? Aren't you afraid that your mother-in-law will throw you away?"
While Erbao was eating cakes carelessly, he replied fearlessly: "My grandma won't hit me now. My grandma is very kind to me now. I was afraid that the county magistrate's grandpa would bully my grandma."
Come with her to protect her."
Hu Maoxi pursed his lips angrily: "Your grandma is so powerful, how dare Uncle Hu bully her? Don't accuse me unjustly."
"Although my mother-in-law is powerful, Grandpa, the county magistrate, you are an official, and you are also the largest official in our county. Of course you can bully my mother-in-law if she doesn't listen to you."
"Little Guitou, you know so much."
Hu Maoxi smiled helplessly: "But you can't call me grandpa, you have to call me uncle."
"Okay, Grandpa County Magistrate."
Hu Maoxi and Prime Minister Sun County smiled, as if there was nothing they could do about this little devil.
Chu Nanzhi gradually finished reading the dossier in his hand amidst the laughter of several people.
This time the file record is not as detailed as the last time, it is only one page short, plus two guilty pleas.
Fortunately, she already had a general understanding of the matter before coming here, and with the dossier in hand, she had some new conclusions.
As for the two accusations, she didn't dare to believe them easily.
Because judging from the charges alone, not only Shen Yang, but also Wei Ziqing had confessed to the fact of adultery and admitted to conspiring to poison Shen Jianghe, the head of the Shen family.
The heinous crimes described between the lines make people want to cut them into pieces just by looking at them.
Chu Nanzhi sighed sadly, turned around and carefully considered the contents of the dossier.
According to the records, Shen Yang personally brewed scented tea in her courtyard three days ago to relieve the heat of the family owner, Shen Jianghe.
Not long after Shen Jianghe drank half a cup of cold scented tea, he began to convulse all over, foamed at the mouth, gradually became unable to breathe, and finally died suddenly in the hospital.
As the third sister Chu Nanzhu said, no outsiders were involved in this process.
After checking the autopsy records, we found that the silver needle used in the autopsy was silver-white, ruling out the possibility of arsenic poisoning, but another unknown strange poison.
Records on the names of poisons are somewhat vague.
The key point in the county government's conclusion that Shen Yang was poisoned was that he used the remaining half of the tea on a stray dog for experimentation.
The stray dog died on the spot soon after drinking the poisoned tea. Adding the incident of adultery, the entire case was concluded.
After summarizing all the information, Chu Nanzhi began to have more doubts. She invited Hu Maoxi back and said calmly:
"Judging from the files and the autopsy report, the head of the Shen family was indeed poisoned and died. Moreover, experiments were conducted on animals, and the symptoms were completely consistent. There is no doubt about it."
But after she said this, Wei Nian, who had just gained a glimmer of hope, immediately became depressed again.
Hu Maoxi and Sun Xiancheng nodded to each other in congratulations.
Hu Maoxi sneered with some sarcasm: "I also know that Madam Chu is smart, but I have already said before about this small case that there will be no mistakes. You can rest assured of this, I am not a stupid official who cares about human life.
.”
"What your Lord said is absolutely true."
Chu Nanzhi frowned lightly, looked at him carefully, and thought:
"But I have some humble opinions as a commoner woman. I wonder if your Excellency can give me a compliment?"
Hu Maoxi did not refute, but immediately raised his hands and said, "I will listen attentively."
This made Chu Nanzhi immediately lose his worries, pursed his lips, smiled softly, and said confidently and boldly:
"The most poisonous thing in this world is definitely arsenic, which is a poison that can only be detected by silver needles. This method is also used in most autopsies to determine whether poisoning is the case. Do you think the woman is right?"
"good."
Hu Maoxi took a long breath: "If the poison had not been tested on animals, and there was evidence of adultery, I would not dare to conclude that the head of the Shen family was poisoned just based on his symptoms."
"Since it is such a powerful poison, Shen Yang's intention to use this poison to kill her husband must be to hide it from others. It also shows that she is a person who understands poison."
After saying this, Chu Nan Zhi's eyebrows gradually became colder, and his tone of voice became much more serious:
"Since she is a person who understands poison and can deceive others, why should she stupidly poison her husband without knowing it, and then wait for the government officials to arrest her? The method of committing the crime is crude and stupid, but
It’s a bit contradictory.”
After hearing these words, Hu Maoxi's face suddenly darkened, and he began to doubt his previous conclusions.
He first signaled to Sun Xiancheng who was standing aside: "Sun Wucai, take Erniang Wei and Erbao for a walk in the yard."
Sun Xian Cheng immediately understood and led the greedy Er Bao and the bewildered Wei Nian out of the living room.
After waiting for the hall to clear up, Hu Maoxi slowly said:
"Through what Mrs. Chu just said, I do have some doubts. If this Shen Yang really wants to die together, then she really doesn't need to go through all these twists and turns. She can kill her with just one blow using the highly poisonous arsenic. But if
She was deliberately murdering people to silence her, and since she had achieved her goal of concealing her identity from others, her method of committing the crime was so crude, which is indeed contradictory."
"So, the county magistrate also admits that there are doubts in this case?"
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Chu Nanzhi stopped hiding it and looked directly at him, forcing him to agree with her point of view.
Those frost-colored eyes frightened Hu Maoxi. He quickly stopped his reverie in a panic and said instead:
"Ms. Chu, although your reasoning just now is quite reasonable, the poisoning of Shen Yang was indeed done by her personally. I have not concealed this at all. What's more, the case has been closed and Mr. Nie has reviewed it.
All the evidence and evidence cannot be faked."
After thinking about it, he looked at Chu Nanzhi cautiously, nodded and said with a smile: "I know Madam Chu is kind-hearted, but I pity Wei Erniang's miserable life experience. If you really want to save her brother, wait until the day of execution in the autumn."
The officer will just think of something for you."
"What method?"
Chu Nanzhi looked at him with confusion and joy.
Seeing that she really wanted to rescue Wei Ziqing, Hu Maoxi immediately approached her and whispered mysteriously:
"There are quite a few criminals in this prison, and some of them are even heinous. When it comes time to execute Wei Ziqing, I might as well find a scapegoat to replace him."
"scapegoat?"
Chu Nanzhi was slightly surprised.
Hu Maoxi's brows flickered with sadness, he stared at her and nodded calmly: "I can only force him to remain anonymous and leave his hometown."
