Mrs. Cao subconsciously replied: "He, he couldn't eat river shrimp before, otherwise he would be itchy and have red rashes all over his body..."
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly widened: "You! You mean he-"
Ye Chutang thought that indeed, Cao Chengwu's death was consistent with death from allergic suffocation. As long as the allergen was found, this trouble would be solved.
"Has he touched any river shrimp since he went back yesterday?"
Mrs. Cao looked at a loss, "No, no! Everyone in the family knows that he can't eat river shrimp, and they never prepared this! How could..."
Ye Chutang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Does everyone in the family know?"
The Cao family can be considered a wealthy family in Jiangling. They enter three courtyards and have a lot of maids and servants.
This person has so many skills, who can make sure there are no problems?
"What did he eat after he went back yesterday? Whose hands did it pass through? Is there anything left now?"
Ye Chutang asked several questions in succession, but Mrs. Cao looked confused and couldn't answer any of them. She just shook her head and muttered that it was impossible.
"Miss Ye Er!"
Cao Chengwen suddenly called her, as if he couldn't bear it.
"The death of my second brother has already caused a great impact on my mother, so please stop forcing her!"
Ye Chutang's eyes swept over him quietly.
"Young Master Cao, I understand how you and Mrs. Cao feel, but I am doing this to find out the truth as soon as possible and give everyone an explanation. How can I say it is forceful? Don't you want to know how your brother died in vain? ?”
This is an ugly thing to say, but it is also straightforward.
Ye Chutang didn't want his brother to take the blame, so it was understandable to seek the truth.
The questions she asked were also normal cross-examinations and could not be described as "excessive".
Cao Chengwen immediately raised his voice and retorted: "How is that possible! You, don't talk nonsense!"
Ye Chutang said: "Mrs. Cao is in a sad mood. It's normal that she can't remember it for a moment. It doesn't matter. Then let's interrogate everyone in the Cao family. Won't everything be clear?"
Cao Chengwen said nothing, his eyes flashed.
"There are so many people in the family, and it's been a day, how can we still find out? The second brother has already gone, why bother him again!"
He scolded the servants on the side: "Hurry up and help mother back!"
The two maids responded in succession and stepped forward quickly.
Cao Chengwen looked sad, "My father is still out of town and has not returned. If I know that my second brother will suffer this torture after his death, I don't know how uncomfortable it will be! Why are you standing there? Why don't you send your second brother home quickly!"
He is the eldest young master of the Cao family. At this time, Mrs. Cao was in a trance and agitated, so of course the servants only followed him.
"Wait!"
Suddenly there was a shout from outside the crowd, and two official servants came quickly.
"Someone reported to the police that a murder occurred here. What happened?"
Cao Chengwen was shocked, subconsciously looked at Mrs. Cao, lowered his voice and said urgently: "Mother, who are you looking for? Didn't I tell you well this morning not to report to the official first!?"
Mrs. Cao also looked surprised: "I, I didn't!"
Her son was dead, and her mind was full of chaos. When Cao Chengwen accidentally mentioned the fight between Cao Chengwu and Ye Yunfeng yesterday, she subconsciously concluded that the murderer must be Ye Yunfeng, and led people to block the door without thinking.
Cao Chengwen also specifically warned that Ye Chutang had cured the emergency of the yamen officer Wu before and saved his life. If she called the officer over, it would be detrimental to them, so she did not ask anyone to report him.
Seeing that the person had already arrived, Cao Chengwen quickly explained: "No, no! It's just a misunderstanding. I'd like to ask you to make this trip!"
Wu Xu glanced around and stayed on the black coffin for a few seconds.
Everyone can see that something is wrong, otherwise why would you bet on someone else's door while carrying a coffin! ?
He looked at Ye Chutang, but his attitude was polite.
"Doctor Ye, what do you say?"
Ye Chutang bowed and briefly explained what had just happened.
"...That's probably it. I didn't want to trouble you two, but the crime of murder is too serious. If I don't ask clearly, my brother will bear this title in vain, and his life will be ruined. Please, please Please forgive me."
Wu Xu stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly.
"That's right! Since the Cao family said that Silang of the Ye family killed someone, we must get to the bottom of this matter! In this case, Cao Chengwu will be sent to Yizhuang first, and Zhang Wu from the Yamen will conduct an autopsy. After the cause of death is determined, then Make a conclusion!”
"this--"
Cao Chengwen opened his mouth and wanted to refuse, but the other party was an official and he was a citizen. How could he argue?
He still wanted to argue, but Wu Xu had already raised his hand.
"Walk!"
He took two steps and then turned back: "You two should come together! Go to the Yamen and explain clearly!"
Ye Chutang couldn't get it.
Before going out just now, she heard the shouting words from the other party and knew that the visitor was evil. She specifically told Ayan to climb over the wall and go out and ask her neighbor Aunt Yang to help her report to the official.
Wu Xu owed her a favor three years ago, and today was the time to ask for a favor.
The Cao family wanted to make trouble, so she made it even bigger to see who was the guilty one!
Ye Yunfeng didn't expect that just a fight would cause such a big trouble for the family. After all, he was only twelve years old. It was impossible to say he wasn't nervous or scared.
"Sister, I'm sorry."
He lowered his head in guilt,
"Blame me!"
Ye Chutang said calmly: "You said you didn't kill the person. I believe you, but others may not. If you can't prove your innocence today, your life will be ruined and there will be no chance of you getting up."
Ye Yunfeng lowered his head, ashamed.
It's all because of him being too impulsive! If he hadn't—
"So, the most important thing when doing something is to consider whether you can bear the consequences. Now that you have done it, you must dare to take it." Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows lightly, "Or do you dare not even go to Yizhuang?"
"Of course I dare!"
Ye Yunfeng straightened his back suddenly.
He didn't kill anyone, so what's there to fear?
Ye Chutang nodded with satisfaction, "Then let's go."
Xiaowu is taken care of by Ayan at home, so there should be no problem.
She felt relieved, glanced at Cao Chengwen, whose face was faintly blue on the right, and followed him calmly.
…
In the room, Lian Zhou recounted what happened just now and was still amazed.
"...I didn't expect that a weak woman like her would dare to open a coffin and conduct an autopsy in public! This is really——"
He thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a suitable word, and he felt worried again.
"But Master, if she can't come back, your injury..."
The master's health has just improved. If Ye Chutang is trapped, then——
Shen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "She will be fine."
Weak woman?
This word really has nothing to do with her.
That pure and clean face is so deceptive. If you don’t know better, you really think it’s a fragile little white flower, but little do you know...
Suddenly, he noticed something. He looked up and saw a small head sticking out from behind the ajar door.
The little girl has her big black eyes open, curious and cute.
The corners of Shen Yanchuan's lips curved.
"However, my daughter is well raised."
