The people outside the hall were in chaos with a roar.
Magistrate Xu didn't even care about maintaining order at the scene. He unfolded the paper and read it carefully. The more he read, the more frightened he became. His face turned white and blue. He motioned Hua Yitang to come forward and said in a low voice, "The charges contained in this paper are It is no different from what Fang Ke said in the morning, but I have checked it out in the morning and found that there is no poison in Ji Gaoyang's home. This is what you have seen with your own eyes."
Hua Yitang: "I have found evidence."
Magistrate Xu: “Is this true?!”
Hua Yitang nodded, "Please ask County Magistrate Xu to bring in the plaintiffs and witnesses on the pleadings for questioning one by one. I will definitely make the truth about this case come to light."
Magistrate Xu looked at Hua Yitang steadily, but saw that the young man in front of him had firm eyes and a solemn expression, as if he had a plan in mind, which made people trust him. Then he thought again, if the case is really as stated on the paper, then It must be a shocking case. If the case can be brought to trial, it will be of great benefit to his official reputation. If the trial does not understand it, he can just blame it on Hanashiro, and he will not suffer any loss.
After thinking about this, Magistrate Xu made up his mind, cleared his throat, raised the gavel high and took a picture, "Come here, bring the defendant Ji Gaoyang -" At this point, he couldn't help but look at Hua Yi. Tang glanced at Hua Yitang and gently pressed down her fan. Magistrate Xu understood the situation and summoned a few crooks to come over. He whispered a few words, telling them to keep a low profile and return quickly.
The people in the hall watched this mysterious behavior with high interest. They felt that the twists and turns of this case were comparable to a temple fair drama. They whispered to each other and exchanged heatedly, as if everyone had some inside information.
Lin Sui'an stood in the middle of the crowd with Qian Jing in her arms, her posture upright. All the speculations around her were like a breeze passing by her ears without leaving a trace. Jin Ruoke was not so calm anymore and kept poking her arm.
"Why haven't Yita and Muxia come back yet? What on earth did Hua let them do? You said this dude didn't know what clues he found and insisted on hiding them. What's wrong with this?!"
It's probably a detective's occupational disease, never revealing the truth until the last minute. Of course, it is also possible that Hua Yitang is just pretending to be mysterious and cool.
"The matter has come to an end. There's no point in being anxious. It's here now. Let's watch the fun first." Lin Sui'an said.
Jin Ruo: "..."
Having said that, Lin Sui'an still sorted out the ins and outs of this case. There are three key points in this case:
First, Lu Shi’s cause of death was confirmed.
Second, the origin of pearl hairpins.
Third, what was the poison that poisoned Lu Shi?
In view of the lack of evidence, it is probably still impossible to make an authoritative determination of the cause of death. Hua Yitang should start from the latter two, but the problem is, one is her golden finger, no one will believe it, and the other is herbal medicine that has been tested to be non-toxic. How can Hua Yitang verify it?
Lin Sui'an was looking forward to it.
The sound of chains was heard outside the hall. Lin Sui'an looked back and was surprised to see that it was two jailers who pressed Fang Cargo into the hall.
Hua Yitang held his head high, waving his fan and circling him with a rather pensive expression.
Fang Ke frowned: "I have said everything I should say, what do you want me to do?"
Hua Yitang: "Let the wooden fish's head open up and the dead fish's eyes open up, let's see how Hua reasoned and solved the case."
Fang Ke was startled, "Have you found any evidence?"
Hua Yitang sneered three times, "Hmph hum", motioned to the jailer to pull Fang Ke aside, and then did an eyebrow dance in the direction of Lin Sui'an.
Jin Ruo: "..."
Lin Sui'an: "..."
Isn't this guy still holding a grudge for mocking his dressing style?
After burning incense, the two bad guys escorted Ji Gaoyang back. Ji Gaoyang was carrying a large medical box and was sweating profusely. When he knelt in the hall, he looked confused.
"Magistrate Xu, what's going on?"
County Magistrate Xu didn't have a good face this time, and slapped the crowd hard, "Ji Gaoyang, why don't we tell you how you poisoned Lu Shi!"
Ji Gaoyang was helpless: "This is a false accusation. Magistrate Xu just concluded the case in the morning, and he forgot about it just a few hours ago?"
Magistrate Xu: “Ahem, morning, morning, it’s because——”
"Hua has found both personal and physical evidence that you seek wealth and murder." Hua Yitang stepped forward, waving his fan.
Ji Gaoyang frowned: "Huajia Silang, even if I don't want to help you with the autopsy, there's no need to tease me like this, right?"
Hua Yitang smiled suddenly, like a spring flower blooming. He took out a pearl hairpin from his sleeve and held it up in front of Ji Gaoyang's eyes, "Do you recognize this thing?"
Lin Sui'an could see clearly that at this moment, Ji Gaoyang's back suddenly tensed up, which was an unprepared and extremely shocked body reaction. However, with only two breaths of time, he quickly forced himself to relax. But his voice couldn't help but become sharp, "What is this? I've never seen it before!"
Hua Yitang's smile did not diminish, and he turned back to look at Magistrate Xu. Magistrate Xu immediately understood the spirit, took a photo of the scaffold, and said, "Call the witnesses to the court!"
You Jiuniang arrived carrying a scent of fragrance and knelt down gracefully, "You Jiuniang has met the county magistrate and Shiro."
"You Jiuniang, have you seen the hairpin in Huasilang's hand?" Magistrate Xu asked.
You Jiuniang: "The slave family knows that it was sold to Shilang by the slave family."
"Where did you get this hairpin?"
"Ji Gaoyang sold it to me, saying it was his wife's dowry."
"Ah, this is strange. Hua specifically asked Mrs. Ji, and Mrs. Ji said that she had never owned pearl jewelry," Hua Yitang said, "Doctor Ji, do you want to invite your lady to come to court to have a look?"
"No need!" Ji Gaoyang said anxiously, "This, this hairpin - I actually picked it up - I know that if you pick up things on the roadside and sell them instead of turning them over to the government, you are suspected of theft, please punish me! "
Hua Yitang's smile faded slightly and he tapped his wrist with the handle of the fan. Magistrate Xu immediately shouted, "Bring more witnesses!"
The person who came to the court was Tian Bao, the shopkeeper of Huabaoxuan who sold pearls to Lu Shi. Hua Yitang brought the pearl hairpin to him and asked, "Tian Bao, can you recognize the pearl on this?"
Tian Bao grabbed the pearl hairpin and looked at it carefully, and was shocked, "Sir, the pearl on it is exactly the one I sold to Lu Shi!"
Hua Yitang raised his voice: "Shopkeeper Tian, are you sure?"
"Sir, the pearl I sold to Lu Shi has a flaw," Tian Bao pointed at the pearl and said, "There is a bulge here. I can't remember the shape and location wrong."
Ji Gaoyang's expression changed slightly, and the whole audience was in an uproar.
"This is actually Lu Shi's hairpin?!"
"So the pearl is here?!"
"Oh my God, is it really Doctor Ji who is seeking wealth and murder?!"
"Perhaps Lu Shi accidentally lost the hairpin and Doctor Ji happened to pick it up."
"Hey, how can there be such a coincidence?"
"Doctor Ji, such a good person, kills people for a pearl hairpin? Isn't that serious?!"
Hua Yitang held up the hairpin condescendingly and waved it in front of Ji Gaoyang's eyes, "Doctor Ji, you said you picked up this hairpin, then tell me in detail, where did you pick it up?"
Ji Gaoyang concluded, "Yes, it's on the street of Beiyuefang."
"When did you pick it up?"
"Yes Yes……"
"Doctor Ji can't remember, let me think for you." Hua Yitang said, "You Jiuniang, when did you buy the hairpin?"
You Jiuniang: "Five days ago, Doctor Ji came to see me in Sihefang. He said that his family was in trouble and sold me the pearl hairpin."
Hua Yitang: Does Magistrate Xu still remember the time of Lu Shi’s death recorded on the autopsy? "
Magistrate Xu immediately pulled out the autopsy grid and said, "It was eight days ago."
"If I remember correctly, this is the time of death door detected by Doctor Ji himself. Lu Shi died five days ago, so how did the hairpin that originally belonged to Lu Shi run into the street? Could it be that he flew there by himself? of?"
"I remembered it wrong!" Ji Gaoyang said, "I picked it up ten days ago when I was helping Lu Shi diagnose his pulse on the way home."
"That means the pearl hairpin was lost when Lu Shi was alive?"
"That must be the case."
"Then it's even more surprising. Lu Shi's family was poor, and this pearl hairpin almost used up all his wealth. He didn't report the loss of such a valuable thing? What's the reason?"
"How do I know what he thinks?" Ji Gaoyang said, "Maybe the money to buy the pearls comes from unknown sources, so it is not convenient to report it to the official."
"You're talking nonsense!" Xiaoyan pushed away from the crowd and rushed to the lobby, hitting Ji Gaoyang with her fist, "Grandpa Shi would never do bad things. It was you who killed Grandpa Shi! It was you who stole Grandpa Shi's hairpin. ! It’s you! I have witnesses!”
Xiaoyan's appearance obviously exceeded Hua Yitang's expectations. He was startled and asked, "Who is your witness?"
Xiaoyan: "Liu Mazi, the owner of the bun stall at Qingyue Riverside Market!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the hall was confused. Lin Sui'an, Hua Yitang and Jin Ruo all looked surprised.
Jin Ruo raised his eyebrows, "This Xiaoyan is quite capable. He can actually find a way out of Liu Mazi."
Lin Sui'an: "As expected, he is the one who cleans the house. He makes two money from one message."
Magistrate Xu looked at Hua Yitang blankly, "Hua Silang, look at this -"
Hua Yitang: "Pass."
Magistrate Xu: "Pass six pockmarks——"
"Hey! It's coming, it's coming!" Liu Mazi came out of the crowd happily, and gave a familiar salute to Jin Ruo and Lin Sui'an with his fists raised, and then he knelt down in the hall and said, "Sir, little man Liu Mazi, Five days ago, on the second day of the 13th day of October, the villain saw Ji Gaoyang sneaking into Lu Shi's backyard in Beiba Lane of Beiyuefang, and it seemed that he had evil intentions at first sight."
"Bang!" Magistrate Xu slapped the gavel hard, "Ji Gaoyang, what's your explanation?!"
Ji Gaoyang's eyes turned red, and he kowtowed and cried, "Sir, I've taken care of them all. That day, I went to give Lu Shi a follow-up consultation. I knocked on the door for a long time but didn't see Lu Shi open the door. I couldn't help but climbed over the wall and went in. Unexpectedly, When I saw Lu Shi's corpse holding the hairpin in his hand, I, I was greedy for profit and stole the hairpin. I was indeed motivated by the money. I was afraid that the hairpin would be exposed, so I didn't dare to report it to the official. But at that time, Lu Shi He’s dead! His death has nothing to do with me!”
The whole hall was dead silent, and everyone looked at Ji Gaoyang with eyes full of contempt.
Hua Yitang walked up to Ji Gaoyang, lifted up his robe and squatted down, staring into his eyes with ice-like eyes, "We have reached this point, don't you still admit it?"
"I admit it!" Ji Gaoyang's eyes were filled with tears, "I admit that I stole the hairpin, but I will never kill anyone! I am a doctor and can only save people, how can I harm others?!"
Hua Yitang pursed his lips, his eyes sharpened, and he stood up suddenly: "You Jiuniang, have you brought the things I asked you to bring?"
"Bring it!" You Jiuniang presented the white jade porcelain vase with both hands. The bad guy sent the porcelain vase to Magistrate Xu's case. Magistrate Xu took the vase and looked at it, "What is this?"
"This is Ji's Medical Clinic's unique secret medicine, called Grape Tears." Hua Yitang said.
Magistrate Xu was so frightened that he quickly put down the porcelain bottle and wiped his hands on his sleeves, "Is this poison?"
Hua Yitang turned to look at Ji Gaoyang, watching his tears being forced back little by little, watching his eyelids trembling crazily, and slowly said, "I once read an overseas miscellaneous book, which was translated into Chinese as "The Record of Strange Treasures" ", the translation is incomplete and has many errors and omissions, but it is quite interesting to read. It records a plant produced in the Kingdom of Site. The flowers are very small, similar to bell shape, and the fruit is shaped like small grapes and has a sweet taste. The fruit of this plant is boiled Make the juice and dilute it with the evaporated liquid to make a strange potion. As long as the potion is dropped into the pupils of the eyes, the pupils will dilate. The sight of the pupils is fascinating and fascinating. It is very popular among the noble women of the Kingdom of West. I like it, so this thing is called 'Beauty Nightshade'." Speaking of this, Hua Yitang paused and said, "That's the red nightshade that Doctor Ji mentioned."
Ji Gaoyang: "I did use red peach and nightshade to make grape tears, but since this medicine can enter the eyes, how can it be poisonous? And as you saw with your own eyes this morning, my rabbits eat this grass every day and are not poisoned." sign."
Hua Yitang's expression did not move, and he lightly tapped his palm with his fan. Suddenly, everyone smelled the mouth-watering aroma of meat. It was dinner time, and the people were all hungry to watch the trial. At this time, they smelled the mouth-watering aroma of meat. The aroma made my stomachs beat loudly, and I couldn't help but turn around to follow the source of the aroma. I saw a blond boy with blue eyes walking quickly into the hall carrying a pot of broth. He placed the soup pot in front of Ji Gaoyang and pulled out a large wooden door from his waist. Putting the spoon into the pot, he said, "Eat."
"Try it, my Mu Xia's craftsmanship is one of the best in Yangdu," Hua Yitang said, "Your fat rabbits can be cooked into soup with his hands, which can be regarded as a blessing from the past life. "
Ji Gaoyang couldn't help but tremble all over, but he didn't touch the pot of broth.
The people in the hall were confused:
"This case hasn't been clarified yet. Why are you suddenly inviting people to dinner?"
"As expected of Shiro Huajia, he is so generous and hospitable."
"Smells, this meat smells so good, I want to take a bite."
"Shiro Hanaka, if there is anything left, please share some with us!"
Jin Ruo scratched his head: "What's Hua's trick? Let the prisoner eat his head first and then he can confess?"
Lin Sui'an's eyes widened and he looked around at the broth and Ji Gaoyang several times. The biological knowledge that had been forgotten in the corner of the brain cells reluctantly got up and wandered for a while, then lay back down.
She seemed to have the impression that herbivores—what characteristics did they have?
Oops, it's true that "you will miss the book when you use it, but you will forget it once you pass the college entrance examination"!
Magistrate Xu was confused and hurriedly greeted in a low voice: "Huajia Silang, what do you mean?"
Hua Yitang ignored Magistrate Xu at all and just stared at Ji Gaoyang, "Why doesn't Doctor Ji eat it, but he dislikes Mu Xia's craftsmanship?"
Ji Gaoyang's neck and forehead had protruding veins, which made his face look hideous and terrifying.
Hua Yitang sneered, fluttered his sleeves and spread his fan, and added, "It is recorded in the "Record of Strange Treasures" that someone in the Kingdom of Xite once mixed Solanum nigrum with grass and fed it to livestock. The livestock liked it very much. They ate a lot and the meat was fat. Bright. Some people killed livestock to eat their meat and died of poisoning. Later we found out that this grass is edible and harmless to livestock, but if people eat it, they will die. If livestock eat this grass for a long time, their flesh and blood will be soaked with poison, and humans will die if they eat the meat of livestock. "
Having said this, Hua Yitang turned to look at Fang Ke standing on the side of the hall, and lowered his voice, "So, Beauty Nightshade is also called Hell Nightshade."
The whole hall fell silent, and everyone was shocked.
Fang Che's pupils shrank violently and he gritted his teeth.
Jin Ruo suddenly realized: "This dude has really read all kinds of crooked books!"
Lin Sui'an hammered her palm. She seemed to have some impression: some poisonous weeds are safe for herbivores. They can quickly eliminate alkaloids from the body, thus avoiding poisoning. However, long-term consumption of poisonous weeds can cause toxic erosion of the meat of herbivores.
After a while, Magistrate Xu came back to his senses and took a photo of the prisoner: "Ji Gaoyang, what else do you have to say?!"
Ji Gaoyang closed his eyes, his expression gradually returned to calm, and he raised his head and looked at Hua Yitang quietly.
Hua Yitang's expression was condensed, "I have sent a book to Dali Temple and will send a disciple here soon. I only need to compare the poison in Lu Shi's corpse with the poison in the beautiful nightshade to convict you. No matter what you do, Sophistry is useless."
Ji Gaoyang laughed, "I didn't expect that I would fall into the hands of a dandy."
"Just for a hairpin, you killed Grandpa Shi?! Dr. Ji, how could you...how could you be such a person-" Xiaoyan cried until she was out of breath.
"He not only killed Lu Shi, he also killed the nine people recorded in the autopsy records using the same method." Hua Yitang's eyes were red, and every word was squeezed out between his teeth. He came out, "Why? They are all lonely and helpless old people who have no grievances against you. Why do you want to kill them? You are deeply loved by the people. You provide free medical treatment for them and even pay for his medicine at your own expense... You Obviously—he’s obviously a doctor!”
"You are right, I am a doctor. I am a miracle doctor who is regarded as a god by the people." The calm light of the sunset filled Ji Gaoyang's face, like a paintbrush dipped in gold powder, depicting a compassionate and compassionate smile, " Since I am a god, I can naturally control people's life and death. If I want them to live, I will let them live. If I want them to die, they must die. In this Heyue City, I am the god who controls life and death——"
"Oh shit!" Hua Yitang slapped Ji Gaoyang off the altar. Ji Gaoyang lay on the ground with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, followed closely by Hua Yitang's curses covering his head and face, "You beast is worse than a crazy thing with a human face and an animal heart! Still want to be a god?! I think you can go to the 18th level of hell and be fried in oil for hundreds of years and become a fried maggot!"
The whole hall of government officials, common people, and bad guys were all dumbfounded on the spot. They didn't know whether they were frightened out of their wits by Ji Gaoyang's true face, or were overwhelmed by Hua Yitang's rich vocabulary. For a while, no one at the door reacted. Yitang was slapped but still didn't feel resentful, so he raised his foot and kicked her. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ji Gaoyang suddenly got angry and overturned the soup pot with one palm, and splashed the poisonous broth full of Hua Yitang with a splash.
"The same goes for you, if I want you to die, you have to die!":,,
