No chicken soup?

No chicken?

What is going on?

The interrogation has reached this stage, but more mysteries have arisen, making the people in the hall look dumbfounded.

Lin Haoran's mind was also in chaos, but he calmly clapped the gavel wood and asked in a deep voice: "Zhang Min, what's the secret behind this? Tell me to tell you the truth!"

The common people and servants in the hall all looked at Zhang Min. Even Dai Beichen, the official responsible for recording, stopped writing and looked at Zhang Min in confusion.

Zhang Min burst into tears, held her lower abdomen with her hands, and revealed the answer: "That day, what the women ate at home was not chicken, but actually... snakes!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Sanmei loudly accused: "You are talking nonsense, my mother is a Lvmiao person, how can my brother feed my mother snake meat! It's obviously you, a poisonous woman, who is making it up, trying to use this to absolve yourself!"

It's just that many people are lost in thought. Although they don't understand why the Lanmiao people don't eat snake meat, they know that some ethnic minorities in Guangxi do have many strange customs, such as not eating pork, tattooing their faces, and using the names of their ancestors

The corpse is fed to fish, etc. It must be a custom not to eat snake meat.

If this is true, it can explain the "mystery of the disappearance of chicken soup".

Presumably Liu Xing brought the poisonous snake back to make soup, but deceived the blind boss that it was chicken soup. Although Zhang Min did not expose it, he still argued with Liu Xing for a few words, and in the end he deliberately knocked over the "chicken soup" to prevent the blind boss from drinking it.

The original intention here is not to worry that the blind old man drank the chicken soup and the matter will be exposed. It is purely out of love for the blind old lady. This can also explain that when the Yamen went to check that day, the pot of chicken soup with arsenic was not found.

.

Lin Haoran naturally couldn't believe Zhang Min's words, and Liu Sanmei also pointed out a possibility, so she asked the blind old lady: "Ms. Liu, what do you say? Are you sure you ate chicken that day?"

"Mom, don't be deceived by this poisonous woman! She is the murderer who poisoned my brother. I told you that my brother died of arsenic poisoning!" Liu Sanmei warned seriously, emphasizing the previous autopsy results.

The blind old lady took a long sigh and said in a sad tone: "Stop talking! Your mother is blind, but her heart is not blind! In the past ten years, every time the family kills chickens, your sister-in-law will put the chicken legs, chicken breasts, chicken kidneys, etc.

The chicken wings were left to me. But that day, your brother just brought a few pieces of meat, and I... I don't know what snake meat tastes like, but it is definitely not chicken, not chicken!"

As she said that, the blind boss reached out and wiped away her tears, but she didn't know whether it was because her son had deceived her, or because Zhang Min must have served her for more than ten years, and she felt guilty in her heart.

Zhang Min also kept wiping away tears, but she didn't know whether she was crying with joy because the blind boss clarified for her, or because she was thinking of her hard work over the past ten years.

"Although Sister-in-law Liu is not a virtuous person, she is really filial!"

"That's right! I don't believe that she poisoned Liu Xing!"

"I remember that I went to her house that day and I definitely saw snake soup. I think it was probably a mistake."

…

The people in the hall immediately started talking, but many people chose to believe Zhang Min. Especially some neighbors, who were familiar with Zhang Min's personality, believed that he had made a mistake.

When Lin Haoran saw what had happened, he sounded the alarm: "It is said that the dead man is Shen Wu!"

The crux of the case now lies in the autopsy report. If it is confirmed that Liu Xing died from snake venom, it can prove that Zhang Min was indeed wronged. But if it is confirmed that Liu Xing died of arsenic poisoning, Zhang Min may still be the murderer.

.

"Your Excellency, Shen Wu has returned to his hometown to visit his relatives and has not returned yet!" a government official replied.

Lin Haoran frowned slightly and waved to Sun Jixiang, wanting to hear what he meant.

Sun Jixiang said: "Sir, the evidence in this case is not enough to overturn the case, and the prosecutor needs to issue a new autopsy report, so your Excellency can first put the suspect Zhang Min in prison, and then ask the prosecutor to re-examine the autopsy!"

Lin Haoran nodded slightly and agreed with this solution.

Probably because blind people have better hearing, the blind boss seemed to have heard what Sun Jixiang said and suddenly stopped him: "Sir, wait a minute! Amin, did you really not poison Ah Xing?"

"Mom, I don't!" Zhang Min shook her head with tears in her eyes.

The blind boss said sincerely to Lin Haoran: "Sir, please withdraw from your original position and stop suing her. She... is the best wife in the world. I believe she did not kill my son!"

cough!

Sun Jixiang coughed lightly and shook his head gently at Lin Haoran.

Lin Haoran naturally knew what to do. He slapped the alarm and said with the majesty of a magistrate: "Be brave, this is related to a murder case. Are you going to file a lawsuit if you don't want to?"

The blind boss felt deeply remorseful, and suddenly cried bitterly to Zhang Min: "I can't help you! I have made you suffer these days, and these years have made you even more troubled to take care of me, a blind old woman! After you come out, just find someone. Get remarried!"

"Mom, I won't get married! I won't get married!" Zhang Min couldn't stop crying and shook her head while supporting the blind boss.

"Don't marry? You are obviously thinking about my Liu family's wealth!" Liu Sanmei immediately said in a strange and sinister tone.

Zhang Min was about to retort, but the blind boss said angrily: "You...you are the one who cares about family wealth! I was also deceived, otherwise why would I have wronged your sister-in-law and made your sister-in-law suffer!" As he said, Then he said to Zhang Min: "I don't want to drag you down anymore. Find someone to marry as soon as you come out, and the wine shop will leave it to you as a dowry!"

Zhang Min burst into tears, wiping her tears and said: "Mom, I won't marry, I... I already have the flesh and blood of the Liu family, and our Liu family has an heir, woo woo!"

"Ah? Really!" The blind boss was pleasantly surprised.

"Yes! Of course it's true. I hired the doctor yesterday!" Huniu, who was eating melon seeds at the side, stood up and raised her face somewhat proudly.

Just yesterday, after Zhang Min fainted, Huniu also called in the doctor and found out that she was pregnant. It was for this reason that Zhang Min, who was in despair, regained her life and asked Huniu to help her redress her grievances.

Huniu is a restless master, so she is naturally happy to do so this time.

Woohoo...

The blind old lady really cried with joy, and two lines of hot tears welled up in her wrinkled eyes, but she did not expect that there was such a great happy event.

Zhang Min's emotions were also affected. I don't know whether it was because God suddenly favored her, or because she was moved by the emotions of the blind old lady. The scene seemed very touching.

Many people in the hall had wet eyes when they saw this scene.

Although the case has not yet come to light, many people believe that Zhang Min is innocent and that the suspect died of snake venom and was mistakenly diagnosed as arsenic poisoning.

"There are still things that need to be verified in the case of Zhang's murder of her husband by poisoning. We will temporarily imprison him today and announce the verdict at a later date!" Lin Haoran announced, raising the alarm and wanting to retreat to the back house.

"Brother and aunt are both happy. Can you not take her into prison?" Huniu stood up again and begged Lin Haoran with her face raised.

The blind boss also reacted and anxiously knelt down to Lin Haoran and said, "Yes! Please show mercy and let my daughter-in-law go home to rest!"

Lin Haoran frowned slightly, realizing that this girl would cause trouble for him, and wanted to beat her up. Unlike an emotional person like Huniu, he actually seemed more rational.

Although things have been favorable to Zhang Min, especially the chicken soup that was previously believed to be poisoned by chicken soup does not exist at all, if it turns out that Liu Xing still died of arsenic, Zhang Min may still be the evil woman who poisoned Liu Du.
