Chapter 87: Chapter 69.1

It was Zhuo Bang who came in.

Jiang Zhou didn’t ask anyone to invite him; it was Qing Ning who went there on her own initiative—there was trouble in their restaurant. Wasn’t the person with highest authority and power who could handle the matter?

Because it was Zhuo Bang who took Jiang Zhou’s cement innovation to the court. Zhuo Bang had an impression of his good behavior and came over immediately after hearing what happened.

He didn’t say anything when he came in, nor did he interfere in the case. He just sat aside and waited to see how Liu Chengfeng tried the case.

Liu Chengfeng was a little afraid of him, but he also knew that the man was here to support Jiang Zhou. He felt that this case was a bit difficult, but he could only bite the bullet and continue the trial.

He turned to the doctor and asked: “Are you sure there is nothing wrong with the mushroom soup base?”

The doctor handed over his hand and said, “No problem. This doctor thought there were some inedible poisonous mushrooms in it, but after testing, I found that there was no toxin residue.”

The woman exclaimed, “You are lying! If it is really not poisonous, how could my husband look like he was poisoned!”

The doctor looked at the patient again, examined the tongue coating, and shook his head: “It does look like he was poisoned.”

There was a stalemate for a moment.

It didn’t matter to Jiang Zhou. After all, it was proved that his mushroom soup base was not poisonous, which cleared his name. As for that person, although he was a little curious about what poison he had, he didn’t care much.

Furthermore, he thought this woman was really strange. She insisted that his mushroom soup base was poisonous and thought he was going to harm them. She cried very sadly, but she didn’t care much about her poisoned husband. Instead of calling the doctor immediately, she came to argue with him. It was very strange.

The same thing happened in the government hall. After the yamen servants brought her husband back, she didn’t even look at him twice. She just cried and complained, as if she had been wronged a lot.@@novelbin@@

.

The doctor took another careful look and said hesitantly, “Wait, wait, it doesn’t look like he was poisoned.”

Because the patient was foaming at the mouth and his tongue coating turned white at first, it seemed like he was poisoned, but after a closer look, it was different. The doctor asked the woman, “Is your husband very sensitive to something or food that he can’t eat?”

The woman was silent for a moment and shook her head, “No.”

Although her silence was short, it was noticed, not to mention her eyes when she answered. The pupil was floating around, obviously lying.

Zhuo Bang interrupted, “Report the truth, otherwise if you are found out to be lying, you will be punished.”

Perhaps the threat of punishment frightened her, and the woman knelt down with a plop, “The humble woman…my lord, the husband of this humble woman. … He, he will be allergic to eating fresh mushroom.”

Jiang Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. “Sir, the mushroom in the humble man’s shop is all dried food, not to mention, there is no mushroom in the mushroom soup base. Yes, the fresh mushroom is ordered separately.”

As early as when the accident happened, he had already brought over the meals ordered by the couple and now presented them: “Please see, sir, this woman knows that her husband had mushroom allergy, so she ordered the mushroom anyway, which shows that it was a deliberate murder, not a fault of the humble man.”

Liu Chengfeng took it up and took a look, and sure enough, there was black mushroom order inside. He was shocked and said, “Woman, do you know your guilt?!”

The woman choked and tried her best to argue, “Sir, I know my husband is allergic to mushroom, but this portion of mushroom was not ordered for him; it was what I wanted to eat! My husband didn’t eat this either. He is only allergic to the soup base that has been cooked with fresh mushroom and other food. My lord! This is wrong! This is clearly the fault of the hot pot restaurant! If why can’t they give us separate pots instead of one big with separated parts. If they had done separate pots, he wouldn’t be like this?!”

She was simply arrogant and her logic was staggering.

Jiang Zhou could see it anyway; she just wanted to drag him into the water no matter what.

Fortunately, Zhuo Bang was sitting on top, his face expressionless. “It’s not just intentional murder, but also framing. Such people cannot be punished lightly.” He turned to Liu Chengfeng. “Master Liu, what do you think?”

Liu Chengfeng trembled. “Yes, yes, she should be severely punished.”

A case full of ups and downs ended in a funny way, making people didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

.

Jiang Zhou didn’t smile because when he went out, he happened to meet a familiar person.

Liu Lin’s face was gloomy, and the word “prison” was carved behind his ear. It was a tattoo only for those who committed major crimes and went to prison. Even if they were released, they could not be removed. Liu Lin deliberately let down his hair and tried to cover up the traces, but unfortunately, the jailer shaved off that piece of hair when he was carving the words. Even if the hair was let down, it couldn’t be properly covered, giving the impression of an attempt to hide.

When he saw Jiang Zhou, he sneered, his voice hoarse and cold, as if soaked in poison. “This time you are lucky, but next time it won’t be so easy.”

Jiang Zhou was not angry, but smiled. “Then I’ll have to use some clever tactics to get back at you. It’s really embarrassing for such a little trick to be broken with just one poke.”

Liu Lin was furious and wanted to talk, but Jiang Zhou had already gone away.

He caught up with Zhuo Bang who left early. “Sir, thank you very much just now.”

Zhuo Bang shook his head. “It’s okay, it’s just a little effort, I trust you.”

Jiang Zhou looked at his eyes carefully and said tentatively, “I don’t think your face looks very good. Is there something wrong?”

Zhuo Bang’s eyes were very red and he had a tired look on his face. One look at him showed that he probably hadn’t slept well in the past few days.

Zhuo Bang pinched the bridge of his nose, hesitated for a long time, and asked, “Do you believe in ghosts and demons?”
