Motives…money, justice, sex. If they were motivated by money, they would have fled immediately after poisoning Wuhou. They would have lived to enjoy the money. If they were motivated by justice, that doesn't make sense. After poisoning Wuhou, they wouldn't have turned themselves in. What's the point of being trapped in prison for the rest of their lives? If they were motivated by sex, that's easy to investigate. Just find out what women they were dating.
Threats... Impossible, threats are too easy to reveal. Do you really think that the people in the government office in TV dramas are blind and deaf?
But it is a fact that Wuhou died of poisoning. Someone poisoned him, and it is obvious that it was one of the three people.
So who poisoned the black throat? The black throat was poisoned to death, died suddenly, acute... acute?
……! ??
After taking the file, Di Yun frowned suddenly and quickly looked at one of the three people - the servant who delivered the meal.
"Handyman, let me ask you, what kind of food did Wuhou's family send yesterday? Did they put any salt in it?"
……
Chapter Three: Dali Temple Shaoqing Jingzhe
-Salt!
Di Yun suddenly thought of this!
Salt is a seasoning, but it doesn’t mean it’s non-toxic. Especially if you want to poison someone invisibly, salt is the first choice, as long as it is “hidden” deep enough.
The poisoning of the black throat was definitely not caused by gas. The prison detectives would have noticed it. There was no problem in the kitchen either. The prisoners all ate from a big pot. In addition, there was no one else walking around in the prison at that time, so the assassin had no chance. The problem was in the delivery of the food. The food was poisonous!
Salt?
Zuo Le frowned.
"Big... Ugh! Diyun, what does this have to do with salt? Explain it to me clearly."
[You just wanted to call me Big Brother, right? ]
Di Yun suppressed his smirk and clasped his hands in a solemn and polite gesture. "That's right, brother... Ugh! Master Zuo Le, this matter is about salt. Please wait until I finish asking my questions, and I'll answer them myself."
"!!!"
Zuo Le was furious, you did it on purpose!
Zuo Le could never forget the bet he made half a year ago. He made a bet with the damn golden retriever. The condition was the marriage rights of his childhood sweetheart Sang Ren. Whoever won could marry Sang Ren in the future and had to recognize the other party as his elder brother.
After all, Di Yun has certain strength, but there is still a gap between him and himself who has been practicing martial arts since he was young. Zuo Le didn't want to force him, so he made a bet with Di Yun on literary talent. He immediately regretted it and wanted to slap himself twice.
Zuo Le was instantly moved by Di Yun's line, "I return your pearl with tears in my eyes, regretting not meeting you before you were married." Why, why is even a yellow-haired man so talented?! Is this pure love war god no longer allowed? All pure love war gods are clowns!
Having a childhood sweetheart should be a happy thing. Even if that childhood sweetheart doesn't like me, I still have a crush on Golden Retriever. Why... why is it like this? ! ! ! ! !
Zuo Le’s heart aches so much, it aches so much, it’s heart-wrenching!
Zuo Le swore that one day he would repay the humiliation that Di Yun had inflicted on him. This Di Yun was nothing but a degenerate! Half a year ago, he had just passed the imperial examination and decisively went to Shangjing to serve as a candle holder in the Simaitai. However, he had just returned to Hanwu City to visit his family when he encountered this incident and was accidentally involved in a murder case.
It is rare for warriors to cheat. Before Wuhou had a chance to die, it was obvious that no one knew who those people were who bribed Wuhou. No matter how you look at it, this was murder to silence him. Someone in Hanwu City was eager to kill Wuhou!
"Well, then ask quickly, don't delay." The fat prefect Wang Qu glanced at Zuo Le's ugly face and pretended to be serious and coughed.
The servant shouted anxiously, "Sir, this is true. I tasted the food sent by Wuhou's family. It was very salty, but I wasn't poisoned, and I didn't feel anything unusual."
The prisons in Yan State allow families to send prepared meals to prisoners to improve their diet. These meals are usually processed by the kitchen, tested for poison by the constables, tasted by the servants, and finally handed over to the prisoners through three steps.
If the food sent by Wuhou's family was really poisonous, then it would conflict with the previous idea that most of the prisoners in the prison should have been poisoned. In fact, Wuhou was the only prisoner poisoned that day, and his death was horrific.
This completely rules out the suspicion that Wuhou's family members were the ones who poisoned him. If it was really Wuhou's family members who poisoned him, how did they deceive the kitchen staff, the constables, and the servants? Wuhou's family members never met him, which is unreasonable.
"You really won't be poisoned." Di Yun's golden eyes narrowed slightly.
"That's because it's a chronic poison. Most people only become seriously ill after long-term use. And Wuhou's family took advantage of this and increased the dosage!"
“…Chronic poisoning!?”
The fat prefect Wang Qu turned pale and trembled all over. Zuo Le, who was standing beside him, also became interested and said in a cold voice.
"Di Yun, what do you mean? Are you trying to say that this matter has nothing to do with the kitchen staff, the constables, or the servants? This murder was orchestrated by Wu Hou's family."
"Yes, Lord Zuo Le, if you don't believe me, just give me some alkaline earth metals. I can refine some special "salt" by myself, and then you will know the answer." Di Yun bowed his head.
"Well, come here, give Di Yun some alkaline earth metals. I want to see if there is any salt that is poisonous. It's really scary." The fat prefect Wang Qu smiled happily and clapped his hands.
Two constables hurriedly carried a large table to the hall and placed a few pieces of alkaline earth metal on it.
Di Yun placed his hand on the alkaline earth metal, and the alkaline earth metal melted instantly. He used the Originium technique and this "superpower".
Almost every orc on Terra knows the art of Originium, and each orc's Originium art is different. Di Yun couldn't figure out whether this was the golden finger that allowed him to travel through time. He could control the particles of an object, and the key was that he would be able to do it as soon as he "woke up".
If there were enough deuterium and tritium, he might be able to make a hydrogen bomb with his hands!
Di Yun sometimes wondered if he was some big shot in his previous life.
Although he wanted to, Di Yun didn't have any expectations. His wish was to give up, and giving up made him happy!
In his previous life, he was a 996 office worker, and in this life, he was a son-in-law. How could Di Yun want to miss out again? Hehehe, his biggest dream was to live a decadent life, eating, playing, having children, and sleeping every day. Eat, play, have children, and sleep. Eat, play, have children, and sleep...
The alkaline earth metal melted into a pile of white salt in front of everyone, and Wang Qu and others were shocked.
Zuo Le curiously stepped down from the stage, rubbed a handful of salt, and then looked at Di Yun with a frown: "...What is this?"
Di Yun grinned: "Nitrite."
He dipped his finger in the salt and licked it nostalgically. "Once this salt enters the human body, it can irritate the stomach and intestines. Frequent consumption can cause a series of stomach problems, such as nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Very few patients experience diarrhea. Long-term consumption can cause vasodilation, ultimately leading to myocardial infarction, hypoxia, poisoning, and so on. The taste is lighter than salt and less noticeable. Blackmouth died of chronic poisoning. There is only one culprit: Blackmouth's family."
This matter can be described in one word: "coincidence"! The one who killed Wuhou was not the mastermind behind the scenes, but Wuhou's family. It was probably an internal conflict within the family that the mastermind behind the scenes could not have imagined.
This case will eventually be sent to the Dali Temple for review. An official in charge of the military exam died the next day. Who are you slapping in the face? A true dragon cannot tolerate scum under its feet. It seems he thinks he's lived too long.
There are many unsolved mysteries in Yan Country due to Originium skills, and there are very few Originium skills related to poison. Even a poison assassin has to use spells and cannot kill people from a distance.
"Asshole, family members killing each other? Come on, capture all of Wuhou's family members. I must catch this assassin!"
The fat prefect Wang Qu shouted angrily, after all this time he was still neither a constable, a handyman nor a cook. This was a huge disgrace and could be considered an abuse of "lynching".
...
And in Shangjing.
Dali Temple.
"Coincidentally" there were also two people discussing the case, sitting down and looking at each other.
"Marble Shaoqing Jingzhe, what do you think about the poisoning of Wuhou?"
……
Chapter 4: The Unsolved Case of Beihe
Dali Temple.
The two were discussing a case.
One is the host and the other is the guest, and the two also belong to different institutions in Yan State. The blue-haired man is the Su Zhengshi of the Su Zhengyuan, and the blonde woman is the Shao Qing of the Dali Temple.
The Dali Temple, the Suzhengyuan, and the Yushitai were the three judicial offices of the Yan State. They had clear divisions of labor and checks and balances. The Zhenlong had three judges, the palace had one judge, the censor had one judge, and the prime minister had one judge. The name "Three Judicial Offices" originated from this. Each of them performed its duties in the court.
The case of Wu Hou was sent to the Dali Temple yesterday. It was related to the Yan State's military examination. The matter was under the jurisdiction of the Dali Temple, which had the highest position among the three judicial departments. Especially after Wu Hou's death, the Dali Temple also attached great importance to the case. The case fell into the hands of Jingzhe, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple who was on a business trip, and Jingzhe was asked to investigate the case.
"Taihe, you know my character. I can't tell you the details of this case." Jingzhe lifted up his white silk legs and said coldly.
Tai He remained calm, "I know, Jingzhe, but I still want you to reveal some details. Wuhou was also involved in a case I was managing, and he died before I could even go to Hanwu City to question him."
The three judicial departments were not supposed to interfere with each other's duties. The Dali Temple was the Dali Temple's business, and the Suzhengyuan was the Suzhengyuan's business. Even if the two were good friends who had worked together for many years, this matter violated the rules and should be severely punished according to the laws of the Yan State.
Jingzhe has always been rigid in character, and so is Taihe. Taihe knew this but still asked for favors, which shows that the nature of the case is no trivial matter, no less serious than the cheating in the martial arts examination that happened not long ago.
"Is this also related to a case you are in charge of?" A hint of surprise flashed in Jingzhe's eyes.
"Yes, Wuhou was also involved in the case of the loss of Beihe military equipment, but my latest investigation shows that Wang An, the transfer envoy, once met with Wuhou. The two may have some connection. This is my speculation." Taihe revealed some details.
The loss of military equipment in Beihe River was an unsolved case from two years ago. The military equipment of several ships disappeared while crossing the river, and the reason is unknown.
Later, the True Dragon was furious. The Dali Temple, the Suzhengyuan, and the Censorate jointly investigated and finally found out that the whole process was directed and acted by Wang Anzhuanshi. After embezzling military funds, he used molds to pass off fake weapons as real ones, and wanted to steal and sell weapons to Kazdel. Finally, he hid in a cave. Wang Anzhuanshi bit his tongue and committed suicide out of fear of punishment.
The result of this case was that Wang An, the envoy, and his entire family were executed, and many people in the army were also implicated. But the strangest thing was that all the military equipment hidden in the cave disappeared, and Wang An, the envoy, and his accomplices were all unaware of it.
Therefore, the loss of Beihe's military equipment naturally became an unsolved case. Therefore, Yan Kingdom also sent a messenger to visit Theresa, the current princess of Kazdel. Kazdel had nothing to do with this matter. The so-called Wang An's transfer of power to steal and sell weapons to Kazdel was completely untrue. So where did these military equipment go?
"I can tell you a few details. Wuhou was poisoned to death. I am also preparing to go to Hanwu City to investigate."
Jingzhe sighed, it was really hard to refuse at this point.
"Poisoned?"
Taihe asked in confusion, "I remember that Wuhou Bucai was captured the day before yesterday. How did he get poisoned to death?"
"Isn't this the reason why I went to Hanwu City? Wuhou was mutilated, no other reason!"
Jingzhe's eyebrows subconsciously stood up, and her pretty face without any beauty made her look like a female CEO. Her delicate toes wrapped in white stockings twisted slightly.
This is undoubtedly an extreme disrespect for the Dali Temple. Hanwu City is adjacent to Shangjing, and the emperor is close by. Isn't this an insult to the Dali Temple? Do they really think the Dali Temple dare not conduct a thorough investigation?!
Corruption is corruption and murder is murder, they are essentially two different things.
Jingzhe was determined to investigate the case thoroughly. He was arrested on the first day and then silenced on the second day? He was courting death!
Since the "death" of Terra's Emperor Chu Yun, the situation in Terra has become further turbulent. Wars are going on in Ursus, Columbia, Glassval, Victoria and many other places. The heavy responsibility of fighting the evil demons has fallen on Yan Country again. It is understandable that other places are greedy for selfish reasons, but corruption involving military matters is nonsense. However, the actual situation is that despite repeated punishments, the problem has not changed and is even getting worse.
"Then according to Jingzhe, this case..." Taihe stroked his chin.
"There must be a mystery behind this case. It may involve many unsolved cases. If you don't believe me, look, this is the file." Jingzhe said firmly, full of confidence.
"Really? Maybe you're overthinking it, and it's just a common murder to silence someone?"
Taihe opened the file that Jingzhe handed over and took a glance at it, but he couldn't see anything special.
Wuhou was poisoned to death in prison. The suspects, the cook, the handyman, and the constable, have been apprehended. There are many doubts. How did Jingzhe figure out so many unsolved cases?
Taihe wanted to accompany Jingzhe this time. In short, he was also interested. He was also considering whether to bring some people from the Suzhengyuan to avoid the need for mutual protection.
To thoroughly investigate a suspicious case, two people alone are not enough. It takes time to understand the case, confirm the files, and conduct investigations. Every position in the Suzhengsi and Dali Temple Shaoqing and above has a fixed team dedicated to assisting their superiors in investigating cases.
"You don't believe my intuition?" Jingzhe said unhappily.
"I dare not." Taihe laughed: "It's just that I think the time for inspection is coming soon. Isn't it time for you to be promoted? You have been a Shaoqing for five years. It's not appropriate to stay in the position of Shaoqing forever."
Inspection was a system of top-down inspection in Yan State, which promoted or demoted officials based on their achievements, or kept them in their positions.
"How can it be so fast? You know I'm not even 30 yet. I don't know how many people are jealous and want to report me. I have to pay attention to everything." Jingzhe rolled his eyes, but it wasn't that he didn't want a promotion.
The Dali Temple is called by levels: Dali Temple Chief Minister, Dali Temple Deputy Minister, Dali Temple Junior Minister, Dali Temple Secretary, Temple Chief. Before the age of 30, he was promoted to Junior Minister. Jingzhe was the first one to be promoted to Deputy Minister. It was too exaggerated to be promoted to Deputy Minister.
It is not easy to become the deputy minister of Dali Temple. Talent is one aspect, but experience is more important. Young people should continue to hone their skills. That is a position for experienced people.
Jingzhe knew that she was able to become a Shaoqing at such a young age because of the connections of "someone". Damn that disrespectful old man at Simuitai! Oh, how could her family have such an ancestor? He was thousands of years old and one of the Heavenly Masters, but he was wandering around outside every day.
"Lord Jingzhe, Lord Taihe."
Someone knocked on the wooden window outside the door.
Jingzhe asked, "What's the matter?"
"Master Jingzhe, the prefect of Hanwu City, Wang Qu, sent someone to tell you that the person who poisoned Wuhou has been caught. It was Wuhou's wife, Madam Li. I came here specially to tell you this." Si Zheng, who was standing outside the wooden door, informed.
Jingzhe: “……?”
Taihe: “……?”
