Chapter 281 The truth comes out
Chapter 281 The truth comes out
He thought he was cold from sleeping, so he covered his stomach with a thin quilt.
Only then could I continue sleeping peacefully.
Time soon came to the end of the Shen hour.
Half of the people who came to watch the fun had left.
Those who stayed behind were those who had money at home and had nothing to do all day.
There were seven or eight regular customers who were not afraid at all that the Jiang family shop would poison them. They even ordered a lot of food and ate while waiting.
In the backyard, Steward Lu served Dong Wei diligently, fearing that if he neglected him, Dong Wei would go to the magistrate to complain.
Feng Biao also stayed here to support the Jiang family.
Zhang Jinlan was afraid that he would be hungry, so she specially prepared food for him and his men.
Fortunately, the business of the shop was particularly good today, and the ice was crushed and thrown into the tank in the morning.
When the two officers searched at noon, all the ice had melted.
Only a tank of cold water was left.
Otherwise, if someone sees it, the source may not be explained.
Jiang Fubao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. God was standing behind her to help her. Sometimes, she really doubted whether she was the heroine of this world.
Narcissism lasts only three seconds.
The officers who were investigating the case came back.
"Manager, we have checked all the medical clinics and drugstores in the city. Five of them sold arsenic in the past few days, but the quantity was not large. I don't know where the person who bought the arsenic got a prescription saying that arsenic was to be used as medicine.
Because of government regulations, the amount sold was very small. One portion was not enough to kill people, so they didn't take it seriously. However, five portions together could at least kill two people. This is the fingerprint of that person."
Arsenic is strictly controlled and basically unavailable for purchase.
Unless it is for medicinal purposes, it can only be bought in clinics and drug stores, and when buying it, you have to press your fingerprint.
So one check will be accurate.
Jiang Fubao noticed.
At this time, Deng Jiliang was almost frightened to faint. His face was pale, like a patient who had just come off the operating table.
The expression on his face showed a hint of luck.
Could it be that the handprint is not his?
Jiang Fubao's guess came true a minute later.
All ten fingers were compared one by one.
None of them.
Deng Jiliang let out a breath with trembling lips, but he didn't wait for him to relax.
Dong Wei’s words almost scared him to the point of peeing his pants.
"Manager Lu, send someone to invite Landlord Deng here. Also, bring in anyone related to this person for comparison. If we miss someone, anyone here who knows who they are can report their name and invite them in."
These words were tantamount to blocking Deng Jiliang's retreat.
Who in the city doesn't know him?
There were only four of those scoundrels following behind him.
Less than two quarters of an hour.
Everyone is here.
Deng Jinian, who knew about the situation, looked extremely unhappy.
He glanced at his brother, a look that contained warning and disappointment.
Then he pretended he knew nothing.
Go and compare the fingerprints.
It's not his either.
Even Deng Wangshu, who was pregnant, came. She looked annoyed and would have lost her temper if she had not been afraid of offending the officials.
Until one of Deng Jiliang's good brothers was so scared that he ran away.
Everyone then realized that it was him who bought the arsenic.
How can you escape under the eyes of the officials?
In less than two minutes, he was caught.
Feng Biao also helped.
After pressing the fingerprint, I found that it was indeed him.
"Little one, little one knows nothing. It was all, he asked me to buy it. I don't know. Don't arrest me. I don't want to die. It wasn't me who did it. I didn't kill anyone. I was just responsible for buying the arsenic. It has nothing to do with me—"
The man knelt down and begged for mercy, and his pants suddenly became wet.
A strong smell of urine wafted into Jiang Fubao's nose.
She frowned.
The next second, a big hand covered her mouth and nose with very light force.
So as not to suffocate her.
It was Dong Wei.
After spending an afternoon together, the two of them had become very familiar with each other.
Jiang Fubao affectionately called him Grandpa Dong.
Dong Wei also called her Xiao Fubao and invited her to come to his house to play in the future.
Deng Jiliang on the right is having a dog-eat-dog fight with his good friend.
The noise became more intense.
The guests who stayed in the shop to watch the fun were reluctant to take their eyes away.
This is no more exciting than listening to a storyteller.
"Shut up! Stop making trouble, Deng Jiliang, why don't you tell the truth? Do you really want me to use torture? Come on, beat him with 20 sticks first! Use this firewood stick, the thickest one."
The manager is equivalent to the head of the county government's officials.
He is responsible for managing the entire Lianshan Town and is qualified to interrogate prisoners.
After all, the county magistrate is in charge of several towns and is very busy. If he is not sure who the criminal is and sends the case to the county government, he will be blamed by the county magistrate.
Manager Lu wasn't really that scared yet.
Deng Jiliang knelt on the ground.
"I didn't kill anyone. I asked him to buy arsenic. Yes, I wanted to scare the Jiang family, but I don't know why he actually ate it. He asked for death on his own. It has nothing to do with me. It has nothing to do with me."
Deng Jiliang didn't dare to give up his elder brother.
I can only bear it alone.
He was afraid of going to jail, so he pushed all the blame on Ma Wu, who was already dead.
"You're talking nonsense! You clearly told me that this was a fake death drug, and that as long as we drank the antidote, we would be back to normal. You bought it at a high price, but my brother died after drinking it. You used arsenic to trick us, and I still treated you as a good friend.
You asked me to help you monitor the Jiang family. I walked back and forth outside the shop every day, fearing that I would delay your work. I helped you so much, but you killed my eldest brother and wanted to put all the blame on him. Brother, you will die with regret. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have brought you with me. It's all my fault."
Ma Liu cried very sadly.
His eldest brother is his only relative.
Now he is dead too.
He couldn't bear to watch his elder brother being slandered any longer.
So he gave Deng Jiliang away.
The truth has come to light.
The troublemakers were arrested and Jiang Fubao and his family were ready to ride on the ox cart back home.
"Eryong, Pingmei, the two of you come up. What are you doing standing at the door like idiots? Lock the door by the way." The sunset was coming out, and they were afraid that they would have to travel at night today, Zhang Jinlan urged.
"Mom, I'm sorry. It's my fault. We agreed before that Pingmei and I would stay in the shop to watch over it, but I insisted on going back the next day. Don't worry, from today on, my husband and I will stay here and not go anywhere. If it weren't for the help of Feng Biao and Dong Shanchang today, I'm afraid our whole family would have died."
Jiang Eryong felt extremely guilty.
He couldn't stand his wife pestering him all night, and thought that this was his own shop and it didn't matter if he didn't keep it, so he went home the next night.
Who knew that such a big thing would happen today.
If he hadn't gone home at that time, he would have been guarding the shop all the time.
Nor will we let the Deng family succeed.
However, there was one thing he couldn't understand. Deng Jiliang looked like he was sure of victory and he even ordered the officers to focus on searching the kitchen.
This means he must have hidden arsenic in the shop.
I think we can catch the person red-handed.
But the officials didn't find any arsenic. So where was the arsenic?
The Jiang family members were in sync and thought the same thing.
So they looked at Jiang Fubao, the only person who had entered the kitchen.
