Yipin Chef

Liao wanted to say: "Well, it seems that he can't lift his feet. I'm still wondering. He's not seven or eighty, so why is he walking so heavy?"

There was a dazed expression on Jiale's face, and he fell into deep thought again.

Ye Chengfeng came over and called him: "Hey, did you find out anything?"

Jia Le said: "I already know who the murderer is, but there is no evidence."

The two returned to the bamboo room where the murder occurred, inspected the scene again, and carefully looked at the whole body of the deceased, hoping to find some clues on the deceased.

Wu Zuo came to prepare to collect the corpse, and carefully carried the deceased away after the inspection.

Ka Lok asked Wu Zuo, "Can your lord find anything wrong with the corpse?"

Wu Zuo said: "I was killed by a knife, there is nothing unusual, but there is something on the finger of the deceased who doesn't know what it is."

Jia Le hurried over to check again, and smelled what was on the deceased's fingers, with a relieved expression on his face.

The author has something to say: strive to update, the next chapter: the facts of the case come to light

44. The truth comes out...

When Jiale and Ye Chengfeng were inspecting the scene inside, the county magistrate had already arrived and asked about what happened. The suspicion was still on Xiao Bai. After exclusion, only he is possible.His alibi can only be proved by a woman who is in a good relationship with him. This woman obviously has an affair with him and cannot be used as evidence.

In the end, they could only order Xiao Bai to be taken into prison for review.

Now Mrs. Xiao was so anxious that she was about to faint. If she were to be tortured in prison or something, Xiao Bai had never suffered, so she would have confessed to the crime by then.

The guards locked Xiao Bai up with iron chains and were about to take him away when a voice shouted: "Wait a minute, I know who the real culprit is."

All eyes focused on that man, and the onlookers took the initiative to make way for him, Jia Le came through the crowd, faced the county magistrate directly, and said, "I know who the real culprit is, please let Mr. Xiao go." , he is innocent."

"Oh, then who are you talking about?" the magistrate asked quickly.

Jia Le stretched out his finger and pointed to the past: "The murderer is him."

Everyone followed his fingers and pointed to a person - Li Shengrong.

Li Shengrong's face was purple, and he said angrily: "Don't spout blood, whoever saw me go in and kill someone."

Jiale said confidently: "The bamboo room is adjacent to the chrysanthemum room, if you enter through the door, the guests in other private rooms will see it, so you don't enter through the door, but through the window.

Jiale said again: "You bought all the sour plum cakes from the pastry shop opposite in advance, and then asked Wang Sheng to go out to buy cakes while Ye Chengfeng was out to deal with disputes. You know that he has a simple and honest temper and is easy to be manipulated by you, so you successfully ordered He went out. Then, you climbed out of the window of the chrysanthemum house, hooked the next window with a hook, climbed over the wall and entered the next door to kill Feng Yan, and then climbed back through the window. Several windows on the window lattice of the bamboo house were hooked Your impressions are the evidence. Those people who came to the restaurant to make trouble are probably instigated by you, in order to transfer Young Master Ye away."

Li Shengrong's face turned red and turned blue, and he roared angrily: "That's your guess. Someone in the Lanfang next to Jufang heard that I didn't go out in the room. The Hong family can testify."

Jia Le sneered: "You are thoughtful, so there are helpers to help you create an alibi."

"It's ridiculous, is there a second person in the chrysanthemum room?"

"Master Ye." Jia Le called out, and Ye Chengfeng carried the fat cat brought by Li Shengrong.

"This is your helper."

Li Shengrong sneered again and again: "You say that the fat cat I brought is a helper, it's ridiculous."

"Excuse me, Mr. Li, why did you bring an extra pair of shoes?"

"It's dirty outside, I'll bring a pair of shoes for you, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm afraid you are trying to create the illusion that you are in the room. Give me the golden bell tied around your waist."

"See what tricks you're up to." Li Shengrong sneered, untied the golden bell and threw it to him.

Jiale put two pairs of shoes on the fat cat's four paws, put some fish sauce on the cat's tail, and tied a golden bell around the cat's neck.The fat cat smelled the scent, and kept circling and licking its own tail, the golden bell hanging from its neck made a crisp sound.And Fat Cat had two pairs of shoes on its four paws, making a dragging sound.

Jia Le called the Hong family again and asked, "Please listen to the sound of footsteps that seemed to be unable to lift your feet when you were next door, isn't that the case?"

The members of the Hong family listened for a while, and the children of the Hong family shouted first: "Yes, it's this voice. I also asked my mother, how the uncle next door is so young, how can he walk like an old man dragging his shoes?"

Li Shengrong's face was livid, and he said: "This is all your speculation. Seeing that I brought a spare pair of shoes and a cat, I will be accused of crimes. It's just that I have never entered the bamboo room since I came to Luming Tower today." Half a step, you said my murderer, you need to show evidence."

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Jia Le. His reasoning just now was not a big problem at first glance. In fact, it was all speculation, not evidence at all, and Li Shengrong could not be determined as the murderer based on these. Xiao Bai's suspicion was still not cleared. clear.

Mrs. Xiao clung to Jiale like a life-saving straw: "You have evidence, don't you? Get it out quickly."

"Madam, don't worry." Jia Le turned to Li Shengrong, her sharp eyes pressed on Li Shengrong, pointing to his feet: "The evidence is on you."

"Nonsense." Li Shengrong roared and waved his fists, Ye Chengfeng stepped forward to block between him and Jiale.

Jia Le said confidently again: "Use the spare pair of shoes, take off the shoes on your feet and put them on the cat, then crawl to the next room and kill Feng Yan, so the evidence is on your socks."

Li Shengrong's face turned blue, and Police Officer Deng stepped forward quickly: "Mr. Li, please take off your shoes."

Seeing him standing still, the guards quickly stepped forward and took off his shoes, only to see a ginger stain on the bottom of his white socks, as if he had stepped on something.

"What kind of evidence is this?" The county magistrate couldn't understand.

Jiale explained to him: "My lord, the younger one is the main chef of Luming. He has created a new dish called curry chicken. It is in the experiment period, and he dare not serve it to the guests. Mrs. Xiao just said that the mouth is bland, so today I It was the first time I served curry chicken on the table, and I showed Mrs. Xiao a jar of curry paste bought from a foreigner, but I accidentally knocked it over on the table and even splashed a little on the floor.

Mr. Li kept saying that he had never been in the bamboo house, why did the curry sauce spilled in the bamboo house get on the bottom of your socks?I'm afraid you accidentally stepped on it when you went in to kill someone? "

Cold sweat broke out on Li Shengrong's forehead.

Wu Zuo went up to check, smelled it, and reported to the county magistrate: "My lord, there are yellow marks on the deceased's right finger, which are still stepped on the ground, and the yellow marks on Li Shengrong's socks have a very special spicy fragrance. It's the same thing."

Li Shengrong couldn't hold on any longer, his legs softened and he fell to his knees.

Wang Sheng on the side widened his eyes in surprise, and asked, "You and Feng Yan were classmates for three years, why did you kill him?"

Li Shengrong wept sadly and said: "I was able to pass the exam this time, but I didn't expect to lose my name. Later I found out that Feng Yan used money to squeeze me out. He was very proud after being on the list." Tell me that the test of fame requires not only strength, but also luck. Sometimes the hit is yours after all, and when the hit is not, you can't force it.

Seeing him like that, I really can't bear it, my family relies on me to take the exam to honor the ancestor Yaozong to revitalize the family business, he made me fail the exam, I can't bear this tone, it is he who hurt me..."

Jia Le interrupted him: "No matter how angry you are, you can't kill other people's lives. What's more, if you want to honor your ancestors and revitalize your family business, you don't have to take the road of fame. You are too obsessed with fame. It led to such an irreversible thing. Isn’t it sad that you still don’t know how to reflect on it now.”

Li Shengrong hung his head and had nothing to say, the guards escorted them away, the guests also dispersed, a murder case occurred, the business couldn't continue, Ye Chengfeng gave the staff a holiday.

Jia Le squatted on the ground dejectedly, worrying about another thing.

Ye Chengfeng pulled him to a chair and sat down, and said: "You and Li Shengrong are friends who just made friends, are you sad about this? It would be fine if Xiao Bai wasn't the one who was suspected this time."

"Nonsense," Jia Le said angrily, "How can you think like this? Helping friends to hide their crimes is not true loyalty. Even if the suspect this time is an unknown Zhang San Li Si, I will try my best to expose the truth."

Ye Chengfeng smiled: "Understood, you have to restore the original face of the matter, right? Then what are you worrying about now? Is it because of the second sister?"

Jia Le's face was slumped, and she was paralyzed on the chair. Today's news will soon spread throughout the city, and it will be very difficult for Jia Li to marry in the future.

Mrs. Xiao was frightened, and she sat on the couch with a pale face. Xiao Bai grabbed Jiali's hand and knelt down in front of her, saying, "Mother, this time the child can be cleared of the suspicion and be safe and sound, all thanks to Jiali's testimony and cooperation." Jiale has caught the real culprit. It's just... Jiali's reputation is ruined, she is trying to save me, I can't let her down, so, no matter what, I must marry her and ask my mother to help me."

Mrs. Xiao read from his eyes the persistence of never regretting death, and knowing that there would be no objection, she couldn't help feeling sad in her heart.

"If my mother refuses, I have no choice but to leave home with Jiali."

"You are for women, you don't want me as a mother anymore, right?" Madam Xiao wiped her tears.

Jia Li hurriedly said: "Madam, don't misunderstand, Mr. Xiao is filial to his mother, so he is in a dilemma."

Mrs. Xiao pulled her up, held her hand and said, "I object to your union because I think the family backgrounds of the two families are too different. It's not that I hate you.
