Nie Zhou scanned the case file at a glance, which recorded the process of the county magistrate's preliminary trial of the murder case.
The deceased was a man in his thirties. An autopsy showed that he died from rat poison. The same rat poison was found on the rim of the bowl of noodles the man ate, so the family of the deceased insisted that the deceased had eaten the poison.
It took a long time for the noodles in the noodle shop to be poisoned.
But except for the deceased, no other customers who ate noodles in the noodle shop at the same time had any problems.
There seems to be physical evidence, but Shopkeeper Liu and others deny that there is something wrong with the noodles.
Although the county magistrate did not do much, he was not that kind of confused magistrate. He did not use torture to extract confessions from Shopkeeper Liu and others, but temporarily took them into custody, and sent officials to investigate and collect new evidence before continuing to investigate the case.
Seeing this, Nie Zhou's attitude towards him became a little better.
In the case of Zhao Kang last time, he didn't beat up the county magistrate. Firstly, he was worried that doing so would expose himself; secondly, after checking, he determined that although the county magistrate was a bit mediocre, he had some merits.
.
Now it seems that the county magistrate can still sit in this position for another time.
The county magistrate was standing aside, but he was so frightened that juice started to pour from his forehead again. Why didn't this gentleman say anything after staring at the case file for a long time?
Is something wrong?
If he had remembered that the half-day noodle shop was run by the family that this adult used to apply for the house deed, he would have been more attentive. But fortunately, he did not settle the case because of the victim's family and the bowl of rat poison.
, otherwise I am afraid that I will be dead now!
After a while, when the county magistrate could hardly hold on anymore, Nie Zhou finally spoke: "I will personally investigate this case. Before that, you can leave them in the Yamen. But you can't
They should be tortured and fed and cared for until I get the evidence and start the trial again."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely take good care of them." After hearing Nie Zhou's instructions, the county magistrate breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, fortunately, this adult didn't ask him to let him go directly. Otherwise, he really didn't know what to do?
This murder did indeed happen, and there seemed to be physical evidence. If he really released the person, he would probably be sprayed to death by the people of Qi'an County.
Although the county magistrate is a bit mediocre, he still cares about his official reputation.
Nie Zhou nodded and returned the case file to the county magistrate. Then he disappeared as soon as he arrived.
Seeing that Nie Zhou was gone, the county magistrate stretched out his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his forehead:
"Finally gone!"
…
"Azhou, how's it going? What did you find out?"
When Nie Zhou returned to the yard, Yun Shu had already prepared lunch. When she saw her husband coming back, she handed him a handkerchief and asked.
In fact, when Yun Ji went shopping for groceries earlier, she also inquired about some rumors about this case.
Among the people, there are various opinions on this matter.
Some people think that since physical evidence has been found, it is most likely true.
Some people think that everyone else is fine, so why does that one person die after eating noodles? They are afraid that there must be something wrong.
Some people also think that it may have something to do with the noodle shop, but maybe it was not intentional to poison the victim. After all, the rat poison in question may have been administered by the noodle shop to drive away rats, but I don’t know why it ended up in the bowl that the person ate.
It's stained on the face.
It's an accident!
But no matter what you say, I feel that this half-day noodle shop is a big deal!
There is no other useful information.
Yun Bi was worried that Nie Zhou would be anxious if he didn't see her when he came back, so she didn't check for clues. She bought the medicine and went back to the yard.
"Some things were found, but the details need to be investigated again." Nie Zhou didn't say much, he just stated his suspicions. "I suspect that the person was a cheater, but why did he really die?
?It is very likely that someone deceived him, which resulted in such consequences."
Yun Bi nodded. She guessed it when she heard that only that one person was poisoned, and there was nothing wrong with the other customers eating noodles in the noodle shop!
Back then, Li Wangcai was jealous of Bantian Noodle House in the small town and he didn't hesitate to find someone to cause trouble.
Now that business in the county is countless times more popular than in the small town, there are naturally more jealous people. Naturally, the methods used are even more extreme. Human lives are involved this time, and unless they find ten to ten pieces of evidence, they can be cleared.
Otherwise, I'm afraid the noodle shop will be closed down!
"Let's do this, let's divide the work and investigate." Yun Ji suggested, "I will investigate everything that happened in the noodle shop, and A Zhou, you go check the identity of the deceased. Maybe, we will have unexpected gains."
Yun Ji believes that as long as the other party takes action, it will definitely leave traces.
"Okay!" Nie Zhou originally wanted to tell Yun Shu to leave everything to him, but seeing Yun Shu's expression, he didn't refuse.
What Yun Ji wants to do shouldn't be complicated, so he should support her.
"But before we investigate, should we go visit Shopkeeper Liu and the others?" Shopkeeper Liu has a very good character. Even though he is in prison, he can still find a way to send them a letter of distress. But I don't know how the others are doing?
Most people would be frightened when encountering something like this.
"good."
The couple just did it.
After finishing lunch, Yun Shu packed some food and stuffed it into a food box, and then followed Nie Zhou towards the Yamen cell to visit the prisoner.
With enough money, the couple easily met shopkeeper Liu and others.
"Dong, Master, Madam -" Shopkeeper Liu and the others were very excited when they saw Yun Shu and his wife. The word "Dong" that they blurted out originally changed to "Master, Madam". It turns out that they have not known it until now.
They confessed that Yun Ji was the real owner of the noodle shop, and they felt that instead of letting the boss be arrested together, it would be better to let them act outside, maybe they would still be able to go out one day.
Yun Shu and the others looked at the people who were obviously more embarrassed and haggard, feeling quite unhappy.
"You have been wronged!"
Shopkeeper Liu and the others shook their heads and replied: "We are not aggrieved. We know that our boss will definitely save us."
Yun Ji nodded vigorously and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely rescue you."
“We trust our boss!”
Shopkeeper Liu and others nodded vigorously.
"I've already taken care of the yamen. Please stay here for two days. Soon, we will find evidence to prove your innocence." It was rare for Nie Zhou to speak to Shopkeeper Liu and others for so long.
Shopkeeper Liu and the others nodded vigorously. No wonder they didn't face any difficulties after moving in. It turned out that the people in the yamen were punished, and they felt very warm. They silently prayed to God to bless them and allow them to go out and pick up the business early.
