The Famous Detective of the Red Mansions

Chapter 715: Detailed suicide note

Sun Shaozong failed to get drunk.

He was in the bun shop and just poured three catties of dirty wine. Someone found it in the yamen. One reported that there was an accident in the prison, and the county official surnamed Yang died in prison.

Secondly, Hube Lu Jijian's case has now been found out. The Lord Tingwei specially summoned Shaoqing Left and Right to go over and listened to the report from Zuosi Deputy Chen Jingde.

It's nothing more than the front, after all, it was already expected.

The latter case was beyond Sun Shaozong's expectation.

Last time when Wei Yi urged him to ask, Chen Jingde seemed to be at a loss. After only the past two days, he has already come to the conclusion?

In addition...

As an official of the Zuosi Temple, Chen Jingde directly reported to Wei Yi by skipping the ranks. This kind of ‘unhealthy wind’ is something that you cannot condone.

Sun Shaozong followed the standard of being strict with people, immediately cleaned up his emotions, returned to the yamen to change into official robes, and rushed to the discussion flower hall murderously.

Although it was the ‘Three Hall Trial’, Wei Yi didn’t make any special arrangements, nor did he choose an inner hall suitable for office work. Instead, he still sat down with two Shaoqing at the small table in the flower hall.

During the morning meeting, Wei Yi was the first to have difficulty, and he questioned Sun Shaozong for directly stabbing the case in front of the emperor.

But this time it was Sun Shaozong's turn to speak coldly.

"Master Tingwei."

He picked up the top-quality Longjing that he had just served, blew the floating tea stems, and asked casually: "Dare to ask you to summon Sun again, but what else do you want?"

Even though Wei Yi is not enterprising, after all, he has been immersed in officialdom for many years. This routine of knowingly asked questions is naturally not unfamiliar.

At the moment, he twiddled a thousand jins and said: "I also heard rumors that he had found the murderer who poisoned Lu Kejian, and how I was afraid that I would need him to come, and I would know the truth after careful questioning."

"Is it?"

Sun Shaozong put down his teacup and said calmly: "Then please ask Deputy Chen Si to show up and talk - Deputy Chen Si, come in and talk!"

In the second half of the sentence, it was shouting hello.

Chen Jingde was waiting in the West Wing, not to mention that Wei Yi had just cleared it away. Hearing hello from the inside, he hurriedly picked up his official robe, trot into the hall, bowed and said: "I have seen him Senior officials."

"Look, see, see."

Sun Shaozong laughed dumbly and pointed at Chen Jingde and said: "My Zuo Temple officials are so well informed. The Ting Wei-sama hasn't sent anyone to find him, so he was outside the flower hall."

After being slapped in public, Wei Yi looked as usual, waved his hand to Chen Jingde, who was obviously a little flustered, and said as if nothing was wrong: "Vice Chen Si, what is the truth about the poisoning case of Lu Jijian, you Let me speak carefully."

In fact, Chen Jingde also knew that this matter should not be reported by a leap.

But at the beginning, Sun Shaozong threw the hot potato to him on the grounds that he had just arrived and the personnel were still unfamiliar. He didn't ask questions for seven or eight days. Naturally, he felt resentful in his heart.

Therefore, when he came back from the restaurant, he heard that Sun Shaozong was not in the Yamen, and Chen Jingde knew that he had committed the crime and reported it to Wei Yi.

However, seeing this scene before him, Chen Jingde couldn't help but regret it-Master Ting Wei seemed to be unable to hold down Zuo Shaoqing at all. If he was to pursue it afterwards, he might not be able to count on him.

But I have done everything, and regretting it now won't help.

So he energized himself and began to report the cause and consequences of the poisoned murder of Lu Mingsi in the case of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Lu Mingsi died of poison on the cross street not far from his home on the evening of September 30.

According to subsequent investigations, he had eaten with another person in a private room in the backyard before his death in a nearby restaurant-it was initially suspected that he was poisoned in this restaurant, and died shortly after he left.

The diners who ate with him naturally became the biggest suspect.

It's just that I don't have any impression of the other diners, so I can't pinpoint the real culprit.

However, after several days of investigations, Chen Jingde also initially identified several suspects, but because there was no evidence, the other party was not a flat-headed citizen, so it was difficult to conduct further investigations.

However, at this moment, things suddenly took a turn for the better-the restaurant's helper Wang Erhu, hanged himself at home.

According to the suicide note left at the scene, this Wang Erhu was the real culprit who poisoned Lu Mingsi.

As for the reason, it was because after Lu Mingsi was drunk, Wang Erhu was called to scold Wang Erhu, and Wang Erhu was deducted from his wages for half a month.

Because of this, Wang Erhu held a grudge, secretly collected the poison, and waited for the opportunity to smear the poison on Lu Mingsi's bowls and chopsticks, causing Lu Mingsi to die.

After that, the government strictly investigated the case. He felt that sooner or later he would be found out. Because of fear of punishment, he simply left a suicide note and hanged himself.

Having said this, Chen Jingde took out an envelope from his sleeve and offered it with both hands: "The current suicide note of Wang Erhu is here, please read it."

Wei Yizheng wanted to stretch out his hand, but Sun Shaozong had already accepted Wang Erhu's suicide note.

After reading it for a long time, he suddenly raised his head again, staring at Chen Jingde and asked one by one: "Vice Chen Si, do the details of Wang Erhu's confession in his suicide note match the case?"

"Consistent~www.readwn.com~Chen Jingde replied with a bow: "The toxicity found out by Wu Zuo is basically consistent with the remaining poison in Wang Erhu's house. "

"Before the case, how he prepared to be poisoned, and how he changed days after the case, exchanged poisonous utensils and meals with the leftovers, cups, plates, and chopsticks left by other guests. They were all true."

Sun Shaozong smiled when he heard the words, but he didn't comment on these words.

The scene was a bit embarrassing for a while, so Wei Yi hurriedly said, "Since the confession in the suicide note is consistent with the case, there should be no difference, Sun..."

Having said this, he subconsciously turned his gaze to Sun Shaozong, and then he turned to Li Wenshan hurriedly, and solemnly confessed: "Li Shaoqing, I will trouble you to go to the household with Deputy Chen Si, and tell the truth about this case to avoid it. The head of the household was suspicious all day long, and couldn't even take care of serious official duties."

He is now so devastated by the financial crisis that he naturally hopes to take the opportunity to sell it to the Ministry of Households, so that the funds previously applied for can be allocated as soon as possible.

Li Wenshan didn't think much, and stood up and said, "Don't worry, your lord, this is Li..."

"Wait a minute."

Sun Shaozong suddenly interrupted them, shook the suicide note in his hand, and said with a smile: "Since this suicide note lists so many details, it can be seen that on the day when Wang Erhu was poisoned, he was concerned about Lu Jijian's every move."

"Then this officer is puzzled. Since he has recorded such a thorough record in his suicide note, how can he only mention it twice to another diners vaguely?"

"Take a step back, as long as he truthfully informs the government of the appearance of the guest, wouldn't it be easy to remove his suspicion?"

"In this way, why bother to commit suicide?!"
