At this time, everyone's eyes were on Manguo, and no one paid attention to Meng Lan's expression. However, Bai Yue and the others could see everything from a distance, so they saw it all at once.
"Something's wrong, something happened." As soon as Bai Yue said these words, everyone cheered and crowded to the balcony.
No one in the square realized what had happened.
Manguo didn't notice anything. After opening it, he read the note and read: "Lin Jinji died unjustly."
After Manguo finished reciting, there was silence in the audience. No one seemed to understand, and no one seemed to have expected. For a moment, there was a deathly silence.
Manguo just read it out and didn't understand what he meant. He looked at Meng Lan blankly.
Meng Lan had told her before that he would arrange three things and tell her three solutions, so she just had to follow them.
But what this is is not among the three questions Meng Lan told her.
Meng Lan's expression at this moment was also very stiff, complicated and strange.
At this time, there was a sudden commotion in the audience, and some people were trying their best to squeeze into the middle.
Then everyone heard a cry.
"My son was wronged."
This was the cry of an old woman, mixed with the cry of a child.
With this sound, the crowd spontaneously gave way to a path, and an old woman stumbled in with a child. She walked to the front of the float, was stopped by the guards, and knelt down.
The child was still young, maybe three or four years old, and stood aside in confusion.
The two were dressed in tatters, the old woman had gray hair, and the child was thin and thin. They looked like they were not living a good life.
The old woman cried loudly: "Mr. Witch, I beg you to re-investigate the Lin Family Restaurant case. My son and his wife died unjustly."
The old woman raised her hand. The strips of cloth she held in her hand were the same ones that had been handed out one by one in correspondence with the strips of paper. Each piece was embroidered with letters.
Three hundred and two.
The number Manguo read out just now was exactly 302.
This old woman is the chosen one chosen by the witch to fulfill her wish.
When everyone saw the number in the old woman's hand clearly, the people were excited, and the quiet square suddenly became noisy as if water was boiling.
Only Bai Yue and the others could clearly see that this was not a question Meng Basketball had prepared for. It was an accident somewhere that made the old woman raise such a question.
But in the presence of a large crowd, with countless pairs of eyes staring at her, Meng Lan couldn't show the slightest bit even if he scolded the old woman and the person doing the work a thousand times in his heart.
He took a deep breath and said calmly: "Old man, don't worry, since you are destined to be a witch, we will definitely investigate this matter again and give you a clear and clear explanation.
.”
The old woman cried hoarsely and fell to the ground.
"Thank you, Patriarch! Thank you, Miko!"
The square was in a noisy mess. Jian Yu called a waiter outside to ask what happened with Lin Jinji. It seemed that all the people watching were aware of it. It seemed to be a very famous thing in the city.
matter.
When the guy heard about this, he got excited.
"It's a case from last year." The clerk said, "Lin Jin Kee is a restaurant on our street. It has a good business. There are many customers every day and it is very lively."
"Last summer, Lin Jin Kee had a conflict with Lu's, the tailor shop next door. It wasn't a big deal. They opened the shop right next to each other. It was inevitable that you would occupy my place and disturb his peace and so on."
"It's actually normal for neighbors to have some conflicts. Although the two families were in quite a quarrel at the time, the couple and the store clerk all started to get involved. But they were later persuaded to leave. A respected old man on the street did it.
After asking the peacemaker, both parties felt that they had gone too far, so they made peace."
It sounds like a very simple thing, but it is indeed very ordinary. Liang Meng and Xu Feiyang even fought. They looked down but did not look up. It was normal for them to bump into each other.
Seeing that everyone was listening attentively, the waiter continued: "That night, in order to show reconciliation, the Lu family gave gifts to the Lin family. As for the Lin family, they held a banquet to treat the Lu family to dinner, and invited the young couple and the old couple from the Lu family.
, a teenage boy, and three waiters from the store, accompanied by my husband and wife, prepared a large table of dishes."
"Everyone was very happy, eating, drinking, and chatting happily. We have been neighbors for many years, and we all think that the contradiction is nothing."
"But after eating and drinking, people in the Lu family started to have stomachaches in the middle of the night. At first, they thought they had eaten something bad, but then things gradually started to go wrong. People outside were woken up by shouting. After knocking for a long time, no one opened the door, so they kicked it.
When I opened the door and went in, I saw that the whole family was foaming at the mouth and lying on the ground bleeding from their orifices."
Everyone was shocked.
Qin Jiu couldn't help but said: "All dead?"
The clerk nodded heavily: "They are all dead. They were all poisoned. No one was saved."
This family of five, plus three assistants, has eight lives.
The clerk sighed: "Our city has been peaceful. There has not been such a big case in 180 years. Naturally, we attach great importance to it. After an investigation, we found that the Lin family bought a pack of arsenic at the drug store yesterday. There was a conflict before, so naturally
There is no doubt that they poisoned me."
There seemed to be nothing wrong with it, but they knew too little about the case. The clerk had heard about the process through several hands, so it was difficult to express any opinion.
The clerk said: "Although the Lin family couple has never confessed, the evidence is solid and they were questioned and executed not long after. There is an old man and young children left at home."
Bai Yue turned around and took a look, it should be the old and the young.
The waiter sighed: "The restaurant was sold at a low price, and the old man and the young man rented a small house to live there. My mother-in-law always said that her son and daughter-in-law were wronged, but the evidence in this case is conclusive, so who would listen to her?
How about a re-examination?”
The clerk looked at the crowds of people in the square and felt a little emotional: "I didn't expect that she was chosen by the witch. Could it be God's will? Is there really something fishy about this case?"
Bai Yue and the others didn't know if there was something fishy about this case, but there must be something fishy about them being selected. Meng Lan was probably having a big headache now.
What Jian Yu didn't expect was that Meng Lan would send someone to invite him that very day.
Meng Lan said depressedly: "I have found out what happened today. It is a guard who is responsible for the safety of the witch. He is a neighbor of the old woman of the Lin family. He feels that the old woman and the children are pitiful. The previous murderer was unjustly accused. But there is no way to redress the injustice. This
That’s when I came up with this idea.”
It is actually very easy for insiders to tamper with things because no one would think of it.
"He secretly replaced the originally prepared note and asked the witch to extract the note belonging to the old woman of the Lin family. He read it out in front of everyone, just to force me to re-investigate the case."
Jian Yu had a little sympathy for Meng Lan, but not much.
However, he comforted him: "Although this matter is a bit unexpected, it doesn't matter if you think about it carefully. Since the case may be unjust, the clan leader will send someone to investigate again."
Chief Meng Lan said: "The case must be investigated now, but I have a grudging request. I would like to ask Master Jian to investigate the case for me."
