The second person to ask was Yang Ye. After all, he was an acquaintance of the Ministry of Punishment.
Yang Ye came in and greeted An Ying and Yun Pingshi, and then said proactively: "I have stayed in the Ministry of Justice for so long. Although I have not investigated the case, I have copied many confessions and case files, so I have an idea. Yun Pingshi , the murderer is probably the few of us who ate rice dumplings together that day, right?"
Yun Pan refused to comment. An Ying saw that Yun Pan did not respond and did not dare to say more to Yang Ye.
"Yang Ye, tell me about the rice dumplings that day. There is something I don't understand." Yun Pan was sitting in a chair, looking through the case file and asked: "Boss Fang's rice dumpling gift box has several flavors, how did you choose? ? It is written in the case file that you all picked your favorite flavors to eat at once."
Yang Ye clapped his hands and said, "Oh, this is actually simple. The rice dumplings that Zhu Zhuzhi brought that day were tied with ropes of different colors. Liang Su told us that the rice dumplings with bean paste filling were tied with yellow ropes, and the ones with red date filling were tied with ropes. The rope is blue, the white rice dumplings are black rope, the salty meat rice dumplings are red rope, the candied date rice dumplings are green rope, there are two rice dumplings of each flavor, ten in total.”
Yun Pan nodded, roughly guessing the same thing in his mind. "Then tell me the order in which you take the rice dumplings."
Yang Ye shook his head and said: "There were so many people and it was so noisy that I don't remember much. When I entered the dining hall, Zhu Zhuzhi and Yang Shen were already talking. There were already two plates of rice dumplings on the table, and I came one after another. I just remember that Zhu Kexin came in last, and everyone had picked out the rice dumplings when he arrived. I remember that I asked him to eat them, and he smiled and took them from Zhu Zhuzhi's hand, saying that he and Brother Zhu would just eat the same ones. "
Yang Ye thought for a while and said, "Actually, there are meat rice dumplings on the table. Not many people like salty food. I remember Liang Su also told Zhu Kexin that there were meat rice dumplings on the table. I don't know why, but Zhu Ke I accidentally took the one in Zhu Zhuzhi's hand."
"Tell me about Zhu Zhuzhi and Zhu Kexin."
Yang Ye thought while talking: "Brother Zhu and I entered the academy together, which is relatively familiar. Zhu Kexin is a relative of his family, and he introduced me to the academy. I heard that it was Brother Zhu who helped Zhu Kexin to enter Class A. . But he is different from us. Those of us who enter Class A all want to be admitted to the Jinshi examination, and we are all focused on enlightening the classics and policy theory. Zhu Kexin is not active at all, a bit like Liang Su. Liang Su, you know, His family has been practicing medicine for generations, but he just doesn’t work as hard as the rest of us, which is really the same as Liang Su.”
Yang Ye shook his head again, "But it's different, but I can't tell. It's just Liang Su. He just doesn't pay attention to any class, but he is very talented and it's not difficult to stay in Class A. Zhu Kexin has a hard time studying. Sometimes I can’t finish my homework, so it’s very difficult to stay in Class A.”
Yang Ye had almost finished speaking, and stopped again before he was about to leave, "Did Mr. Guo go talk to the mountain chief and the others?"
Yun Pan raised his eyelids, "Why do you ask?"
"This incident has a great impact on the academy. Especially the fact that the capital government office mistakenly arrested the Fang family's daughter-in-law has spread. Now there are rumors in the academy and there are great opinions on the government. Senior Brother Yun, you know, The students of the academy have always..."
Yun Pan frowned and said, "Why, someone is already taking the lead?"
Yang Ye nodded, "It has been widely spread that it is a waste of human life, and this time it is planning to kill students. Previously, the Ministry of Punishments detained a few of us in the academy and were not allowed to leave. The students were very dissatisfied. big."
Yun Pan nodded and said: "Yes, I understand. You go first."
An Ying asked worriedly: "Yun Pingshi, students won't make trouble, right?"
"Students in Jinling Mansion are always bold, so Mr. Guo first went to the mountain chief. With the mountain chief here, he can still control it, but he is afraid that someone will deliberately incite the students. We have to solve this case quickly, and the longer it takes, the longer it takes. The more variables there are.”
An Ying nodded and immediately went out to call the next student.
This time it was Yang Shen.
"Senior Brother Yun, how long are you going to investigate this case? I didn't tell you that those people in the capital government office are simply lawless and disrespectful of the people. You have to report it to the court. If not..." Yang Shen He was born in the military, has a tall build, and has a powerful voice that can resound with a few words.
An Ying felt a headache when he heard what Yang Shen said had nothing to do with the case. He had a bad temper and a big heart.
Yun Pan knocked on the table, "We're here to investigate, aren't we? What are you in a hurry for? Come on, tell us what happened that day. The more detailed the better. You are from the military and have better observation skills."
Yang Shen slightly nodded proudly: "Hey, it only takes a few more glances than ordinary people. When I went to the dining hall, I happened to meet Zhu Zhuzhi carrying a box of rice dumplings to the cook. His family is rich, and he doesn't know anything about Mid-Autumn Festival, Beginning of Spring, and Double Ninth Festival. He would bring some food to the college to share one point, and those of us from poor families would also give it as a gift. Gift boxes like the one he brought from Fang's Zongzi Shop usually cost two copper coins, which is much more expensive than ordinary zongzi. , where can I get food..."
An Ying stopped writing and asked, "After you entered the dining hall, Zhu Zhuzhi and the cook were the only ones present?"
Yang Shen was interrupted and said angrily to An Ying: "Where did you come from, girl? Why do you interrupt people at will?"
Yun Pan placed the tea cup heavily on the table, which startled Yang Shen, "Yang Shen, please control your temper. This is the Ministry of Punishment's questioning. Answer whatever you ask!"
Seeing Yun Pan's cold expression, Yang Shen was still a little timid and answered honestly: "When I went there, Zhu Zhuzhi was handing the food box to the cook, but Liang Su and Shen Pingxiu were still sitting on the table."
An Ying asked again: "In other words, before the rice dumplings were cooked, you, Zhu Zhuzhi, Liang Su and Shen Xiuping were all present. After the rice dumplings were cooked, how did you divide them?"
Yun Pan nodded secretly. Different questions require different methods. Yang Shen's rambling talk must be induced in a rhythmic manner, otherwise he will drag him to the edge of the earth.
Yang Shen thought for a while and said, "It didn't take long for the rice dumplings to be served. There were two plates in total. I didn't care about what I was eating, so I just picked up one. It was a white rice dumpling. Liang Su next to me picked it up. If you ask him, he probably knows better, and he also told you what flavor of rice dumplings to use and what color of rope to use."
"I can't remember the rice dumplings, but I remember inviting people. The four of us each took a rice dumpling and were eating it, when Yang Ye came in, followed by Feng Mo after a while, and the last person who came in was Zhu Kexin."
An Ying took note of it and asked again: "Tell me about Zhu Kexin's visit to the dining hall?"
"How many times have I told the people in the government office, you guys, can you guys explain the work to each other? How..." Before Yang Shen could finish complaining, Yun Pan slammed the table and said: " If you deliberately fail to cooperate with the investigation of the Ministry of Punishments, you will be punished with five strokes of the cane. I know you don’t care about these five strokes of the stick, but I will execute you in the academy square. If you want to save your face, you’d better answer the questions honestly!"
Yang Shen shrank his shoulders, and then answered honestly: "Hey, I really said it several times, so I was a little annoyed. When Zhu Kexin came in, we were already eating. I didn't know that guy well, and he was a day In the evening, he hangs out with Zhu Zhuzhi. Are they relatives? They seem to have known each other since childhood. As soon as he came in, Zhu Zhuzhi invited him to come over and eat rice dumplings. He was a weird person, and there were a lot of rice dumplings on the table. He just took the one Zhu Zhuzhi had and said it would be good if he ate the same as Brother Zhu. Then he fell to the ground. Liang Su knew some medical skills and said it was oleander poisoning. The doctor from the academy arrived and said it was Oleander. Then the academy hurriedly sent people to grab the medicine, but before the medicine came, Zhu Kexin died. I estimate that the whole thing from poisoning to death took less than half an hour. I was a soldier in Minzhou and I also rescued injuries. Soldiers always keep track of time. I can’t get it wrong.”
An Ying nodded, wrote it down, and then asked, "What's going on with everyone in the past half hour?"
Yang Shen lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Zhu Kexin fell to the ground, and Zhu Zhuzhi supported him. Liang Su was at the side to take his pulse. Yang Ye and I immediately went to find the doctor from the academy. Feng Mo and Shen Pingxiu were standing nearby. Waiting. When Yang Ye and I came back, they were all gathered around Zhu Kexin. The doctor poured the medicine first, and Zhu Kexin's face became slightly better, and he also talked some nonsense, and then suddenly vomited blood and died. .”
"Nonsense? What nonsense? It's not written in this case file." An Ying asked
Yang Shen was about to become impatient when he suddenly thought of Yun Pan and suppressed his temper again, saying: "Of course you don't understand at such a young age. Before death, people's minds are confused and they will talk nonsense. How could such a thing be recorded in the case file? ?”
An Ying stared at him and said word by word: "Now the government is asking about the case. I will ask you the answer."
Yang Shen looked at An Ying, then at Yun Pan beside him, his shoulders slumped, and he said, "Hey, it seems to be some kind of meat rice dumpling. I just know it is meat rice dumpling. It is probably telling us that the rice dumpling is poisonous."
