"Zhu Kun is dead?" Lin Haoming asked subconsciously after hearing this.
"No, Zhu Kun is not dead, but among the people who were imprisoned with him, five people in one cell are all dead!" Liu Kaidao.
"Poisoned to death?" Lin Haoming asked.
"It should be!" Liu Kai said.
"You usually keep an eye on me, but you came out with me today. Who do you want to keep an eye on Cheng Yang? Chen Pin or Ma Zhan?" Lin Haoming asked.
"It's Chen Pin, what's wrong? Your Excellency, you suspect that Chen Pin is not keeping an eye on anyone?" Liu Kai asked.
Lin Haoming did not answer, but urged: "Let's go back first and talk about it later!"
When Lin Haoming returned to the government office, it was already midnight. Because five people had died, all the government guards had been mobilized.
Lin Haoming quickly arrived at the prison. As soon as he entered, he saw the noise inside.
These people who were imprisoned were all officials and their families. Now that people were dead, it was natural that they couldn't help it.
As soon as Lin Haoming arrived, Cheng Yang ran over immediately after finding out, knelt down directly in front of Lin Haoming and said: "I have betrayed your trust in my humble position, and something like this happened!"
Lin Haoming looked at Cheng Yang, a little decadent and a little annoyed.
"Where is Chen Pin?" Lin Haoming ignored him and asked directly.
"Sir, I'm here!" At this time, Chen Pin also hurried over.
"How did people die?" Lin Haoming asked directly.
"He should have died after the meal. If there is no mistake, the meal should have been poisoned. There was only one problem in one cell. It was obviously done by someone among the guards. I have contacted all the people who may have come into contact with the meal. We've been arrested, except for Cheng Yang." Chen Pin added at the end.
"Did anything come out during the trial?" Lin Haoming continued to ask.
"Not yet, everyone is complaining!" Chen Pin said.
"How many of the jail guards are old people, and how many of them were brought over by you?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Most of them are brought by us, but it's impossible not to use the elderly. After all, they are familiar with things here." Liu Kai explained.
"Take me to the cell where the accident occurred!" Lin Haoming said.
"Yes!" Chen Pin agreed and led Lin Haoming over.
The cell where the incident occurred was not big, only a few feet square, but it was not too crowded to hold only five people.
All five people had been dragged out. Lin Haoming searched the cell carefully and found nothing except some vomit.
When they came to the morgue, the five people could tell from the look of them that they had been poisoned to death.
"Have you found out what kind of poison it is?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Black vine juice is a highly fragrant poison. It's not cheap. To kill five people, at least a dozen sun crystals are needed. But you get what you pay for. This poison is very effective. I used to do it." I have met people who were poisoned by black vine juice!" Chen Pin replied.
"The poison should have been delivered again. With the price of the people in the cell, it is impossible to afford such a high price of poison!" Liu Kai judged.
"Have you noticed anyone behaving abnormally during this period?" Lin Haoming asked.
"Not yet!" Liu Kai said.
"Lock up Cheng Yang first, and the others too, and keep them under strict guard!" Lin Haoming said.
"Do you want to be tortured?" Liu Kai asked.
Lin Haoming thought for a moment and said, "No need for the time being!"
"Yes!" Liu Kai agreed immediately.
After giving the instructions, Lin Haoming walked out directly, and Liu Kai immediately ordered Chen Pin to put the relevant people and Cheng Yang in jail.
When Liu Kai finished these things and went out, he found that Lin Haoming was still outside the prison.
"Sir, do you have any other instructions?" Liu Kai went up and asked.
"You stare at Chen Pin!" Lin Haoming said.
"My lord, I suspect there is something wrong with him!" Liu Kai was a little surprised.
"It's not suspicion, but there is probably something wrong. If Cheng Yang wants to take action, with the care I give you, it will definitely be difficult to succeed. Even if he succeeds, he will leave clues, but obviously no trace will be left at all. As for the others, outside How can it be so easy for people to find such accurate figures, and how could they know that when I go out tonight, you will not be there either?" Lin Haoming explained.
After hearing Lin Haoming's explanation, Liu Kai's face darkened, and he even said angrily: "Chen Pin has been with me for many years, I didn't expect..."
"Ability and loyalty may not always go together. Just like Gong Lihai, he chooses to be obedient more when employing people!" Lin Haoming said with profound meaning.
"Sir, I understand, I will try my best to get things done!" Liu Kai promised.
After saying these words, Lin Haoming sighed and returned to the back office.
Everyone in the back office already knew about what happened in the front office cell, but they didn't say anything about it. Instead, Shu Siyue directly asked about Lin Haoming's meeting with Gao Lan.
Now there was really no one around Lin Haoming who could be used. After thinking about it, he decided to let Shu Siyue go find Zhuang Liang in person, so he told her everything.
Regarding this matter, Shu Siyue immediately agreed without hesitation. After all, Xilin County was also the most familiar place to her.
Early the next morning, before the gate of the government office was opened, a large group of people gathered outside. Needless to say, these people were all family members of the deceased.
Lin Haoming specifically asked people not to spread the word about what happened yesterday, but now he mobilized so many people in just one night and blocked the entrance of the government office. It can be seen that no one was behind it, and Lin Haoming would not believe it.
Originally, Lin Haoming thought that Zhu Li was just a person who obeyed orders, but now it seems that he is much more stubborn than he thought. After all, besides him, Lin Haoming could not think of anyone else who would do this except him. He deliberately put the blame on Zhu Li.
After all, Lin Haoming was not familiar with Zhu Li, so it was difficult to judge for a while.
Blocking the exit of the front door, Shu Siyue was going to do something for Lin Haoming early in the morning. She didn't take anyone else with her and just asked Xiaomei to follow. However, when the two of them went to the back door and the side door, they found that there were people blocking it. Obviously, this caring person was really serious. The plan was strictly guarded.
Fortunately, Shu Siyue had no intention of going out openly, so she simply waited for a while. After the food delivery person entered the house on time, she and Xiaomei disguised themselves as the food delivery person and walked out together.
After Shu Siyue left, Lin Haoming arrived at the front office. At this time, Liu Kai was already here, instructing his men to block the troublemakers and prevent them from rushing in. At the same time, he also invited a few people who seemed to have some identity to come in for comfort. .
Seeing Lin Haoming coming out, he immediately ran over and reported: "Sir, the family members of the deceased are gathered at the door, including several officials from the civil service. Although the deceased was guilty, he definitely died in prison. Now we are very It’s not easy!”
"Isn't it easy? You go and hand the person over to them, and then go to the torture room and ask them to stay idle and investigate the poisoning. Since someone wants to cause trouble, I will let him watch it!" Lin Haoming said.
"So? I understand!" Liu Kai was a little confused, but finally agreed.
