The coroner and the concubine doctor pursue the murderer in the Dali Temple

Xiao Mubei thought so too. Since someone was so cruel and ruthless and acted without hesitation, they intuitively felt that the possibility of it being a woman was smaller.

After arranging people to investigate Dr. Wei's whereabouts along the way last night, Xiao Mubei and Chu Yunxi came to the second suspect's store.

This shop is a butcher shop. The owner's surname is Zhang, and others call him Zhang the Butcher. He usually kills pigs and sells meat himself, so his knife skills are very good. With each cut, he can get the desired amount, and the deviation is never more than one or two ounces.

Arriving at Zhang the Butcher's shop, a sturdy man with broad shoulders and a round waist straightened up, with beads of sweat hanging on his forehead. He wiped them off and smiled a little honestly, "My two guests, what kind of meat do you want?"

Chu Yunxi took a look at the layout here. Although it was called a store, it was actually just a tent roof at the door of the house with two tables underneath. On the tables were large chunks of pork, both fat and lean, with all the different parts, which looked very fresh.

There was an operating table behind the case with a chopping board on it. Behind it was the door of the room. The door was not closed and you could see a small courtyard inside. There was a sound of water splashing in the courtyard, probably someone was cleaning something.

Butcher Zhang saw that Chu Yunxi and Xiao Mubei didn't reply but kept looking at them, so he asked with a smile, "My two guests, do you want leg meat or breast meat?"

Chu Yunxi said, "We are from the Dali Temple. Butcher Zhang, are there any other people in your shop?"

When Butcher Zhang heard that it was from the Dali Temple, he immediately replied, "Yes, there is another servant in the shop, cleaning the pork. Should we call him out?"

"Shout out, we have something to ask you." Chu Yunxi said.

Butcher Zhang was very cooperative and immediately shouted inside: "Tianzhi, wait a while before washing. An official from the Dali Temple is here to question us."

There was a response from inside and the sound of water stopped. Chu Yunxi felt that the name and voice were somewhat familiar. Before she could react, a young man came out from the yard. It was Chen Tianzhi.

"It's you!" Chen Tianzhi and Chu Yunxi said in unison.

Butcher Zhang asked curiously, "Do you know each other?"

Chen Tianzhi wiped his hands on his apron and said shyly, "How could I know the girl? It's just that when I sent Jin Ze to Ruyun Building for treatment yesterday, I happened to run into this girl. I know that she is currently investigating the fire case at Jin Ze's house."

"I see." Butcher Zhang nodded and said to Chu Yunxi, "Miss, are you here to ask about Li Jinze's family? Tianzhi and their family are neighbors. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."

Chen Tianzhi also nodded, and then said: "Girl, if you have any questions, you can ask me."

"I've already asked you everything I should have asked you," Chu Yunxi smiled at the two of them, "I came here today mainly to understand how Butcher Zhang and the eldest sister-in-law of the Li family had a conflict before, and how it was resolved later."

Butcher Zhang was stunned and asked cautiously, "Girl, you don't suspect that I set the fire, do you?"

Chu Yunxi kept smiling and said, "It's just a routine inquiry. We will investigate anyone who has had conflicts with Li's eldest sister-in-law one by one. Don't worry."

Butcher Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's just a trivial matter. The eldest sister-in-law of the Li family likes to take advantage of small things. After buying meat from my family in the morning, she came back in the afternoon and insisted that my meat was smelly. She said that I was black-hearted and sold smelly meat to customers. She asked me to compensate her for her losses. After that, she lay on the ground pretending to be sick, saying that she felt uncomfortable all over after eating meat at noon, as if she was poisoned. As a result, customers who bought meat that day took the meat back for returns. I was so angry that I questioned her with a knife. My family slaughters pigs every day. I can guarantee that the pork is fresh. You said that my pork is smelly. Couldn't you smell it when you bought it? It's really... You have to finish eating before you tell me. Maybe you ate something poisonous and you blamed it on my pork. I am not that easy to bully. I won’t take your tricks. If you continue to be unreasonable, my knife will not have eyes. As soon as I finished speaking, she lay on the ground and couldn’t get up. She also shouted that she was going to kill someone and that I was going to kill her. I really wanted to kill her at that time. Fortunately, the eldest brother of the Li family showed up in time, took his wife away, and kept apologizing to me, so I gave up. Tianzhi was right next to me at the time and saw it clearly. You can ask him if what I said was a little untrue. "

Chen Tianzhi said quickly, "That's right. Master is usually very kind and smiles at everyone he sees. He believes that harmony brings wealth, so he never causes trouble. Unless someone takes the initiative to provoke him, Master is not afraid of trouble."

It sounds like the eldest sister-in-law of the Li family was indeed making trouble out of nothing and taking the initiative to provoke.

"What happened next? Did that woman come to see you again?" Chu Yunxi asked.

"No, I almost forgot about it later, and I didn't think about it until today when I learned that the Li family was burned down. Then I remembered it again. On the one hand, I felt that the woman deserved to die, but on the other hand, I felt that it was a pity for the Li family, they were all good people."

Butcher Zhang finished speaking and found out the same thing as Chu Yunxi and the others. It was the eldest sister-in-law of the Li family who took the initiative to provoke trouble. These things were not big or small, and a magnanimous person might just let it go, but a narrow-minded person might get angrier the more he thought about it.

However, looking at this picture of the butcher, he should not be a narrow-minded person. As the saying goes, a broad mind makes the body fat, and there is some truth in this.

Chu Yunxi chose to believe him temporarily, but she still asked: "Where were you from 11:00 to 11:00 last night? Is there anyone who can testify for you?"

Butcher Zhang said, "I was asleep at 12:00 p.m., and I stayed in this room. I didn't go out, but I live alone, so there's no one who can testify for me."

"Can we go in and take a look?" Chu Yunxi looked inside the yard.

Although Zhang the butcher was reluctant, he knew he couldn't refuse, so he said, "Of course, please come in, sirs. It's just a little messy inside, please don't mind."

Chu Yunxi smiled and walked into the courtyard with Xiao Mubei. Chen Tianzhi and Zhang the Butcher also followed. Chu Yunxi smiled and asked Chen Tianzhi, "How long have you been working here?"

Chen Tianzhi said: "It has been eight years since I became his apprentice. His skills are very good, but I have never been able to learn to his level."

Eight years is indeed not a short time. Chu Yunxi nodded, patted Chen Tianzhi on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry. There will be a top talent in every field. You are still young now, so it is normal that you can't learn it. Maybe one day you will suddenly surpass your master's skills."
