Chapter 151 Bizarre Evidence

"You're talking nonsense!"

The villagers selling chickens were furious and yelled at them, "We can't bear to eat our own chickens, we're only selling them for a few bucks. They were alive and kicking when we sold them to you. You think you can just cut off the livelihoods of several villages and ruin our reputation with a few words? You're dreaming!"

"vulgar!"

"A bunch of uncivilized barbarians!"

"How can the words of such a bumpkin be used as evidence!"

The villagers shouted even louder, "You've wronged us, accusing us of poisoning and having a black heart and rotten guts. How dare you call us vulgar? You've all lost your conscience and don't deserve to be human!"

"spit!"

Someone even spat at it, making the disgusted guest back away.

The two sides started arguing loudly, and the hall was in chaos for a moment.

The captain and deputy captain were both stunned. They looked at each other and raised their hands to call for a halt. When no one listened, the captain found a nearby table and slapped it.

"Bang!"

A deafening roar!

The captain's face was contorted in pain.

Fortunately, the two groups of people who were arguing finally quieted down.

The deputy captain quietly loosened his grip on the chair, coughed lightly, and said, "When the police are handling a case, no loud noises are allowed to affect the progress. Only those you call out are allowed to speak, and the rest are not allowed to speak. Otherwise, they will all be taken back to the station for 'obstructing the investigation'."

The villagers all looked at their great-uncle, but he shook his head.

They took two steps back, glaring at the guests opposite them with their necks stiff.

The captain asked Su Laosan to prove that the chicken he sold to the restaurant was safe. Su Laosan tiptoed through the group of chefs in the restaurant looking for someone. The man who had taken his money earlier walked over, took out a stack of photos from his pocket, placed them on the ground in front of the captain and deputy captain, and began to rummage through them.

A short while later, they found a photo and claimed that the "poisonous chicken soup" was made from chicken number 18, whose feet were dark red.

They even held up the photos to show the villagers who were selling chickens.

The group of people were stunned, staring incredulously at the man, Su Laosan, and the restaurant manager and chefs.

this……

Who takes a picture of the main dish, chicken, before cooking?

Is this a prediction that the chicken will face a calamity after it dies?

Many people began to whisper among themselves. Lin Jiefang quickly glanced at Li Banxia, ​​his eyes flashing with a sinister light for a moment before returning to normal, as if it had never happened at all.

"My chickens!"

An old woman slapped her thigh and pointed at the photo, "Damn it, I didn't even eat the chicken soup my grandson drank. I sold it for four yuan and fifty cents to save up for his schooling. When I sold it, it was stretching its neck and squawking so loudly that the whole village could hear it. Everyone in our village knows my chicken. You can ask them if you don't believe me."

The captain's brows were furrowed so deeply they almost formed a vertical line.

This was the first time he had ever seen such evidence; it was as if he was certain the chicken would cause problems and had collected evidence in advance.

The deputy captain also frowned and looked at the villagers.

The villagers took turns testifying for the old woman.

"What she said is true, this chicken can always run away..."

"It runs around the village all day long, clucking away, and several children have been pecked by it!"

“They grow very tall, can climb trees, and can run and jump, so they can’t possibly be poisonous.”

"Yes, absolutely not."

The captain looked at the vice-captain, and the two exchanged a glance.

Lin Jiefang noticed this and quickly glanced at the poisoned woman's family.

The family members, wiping away their tears, said, "Officer, they all come from the same village. They must have planned their way here. You can't believe what they're saying."

The villagers immediately became agitated.

He retorted, "We're not as cunning as you city folks. We're just telling the truth. If we don't tell the truth, may we be childless and die a horrible death!"

The curse was so insidious that the captain and vice-captain's expressions changed simultaneously.

The family member panicked for a moment and glanced at Lin Jiefang, but Lin Jiefang didn't look at him.

He gritted his teeth and said, "If oaths were effective, what would be the point of laws? They're just in cahoots; their words are not credible!"

"so……"

My great-uncle stepped forward and said, "If you don't trust him, you can have the police send someone to the village to ask the children..."

"Wait a moment."

Li Banxia stopped her great-uncle and said, "There's no need to look for the child. We have witnesses and physical evidence to prove it."

The captain and vice-captain looked over at the same time.

"What?"

Lin Jiefang pursed his lips and looked at Li Banxia.

Li Banxia called the chefs, saying that they could also testify, "If the chicken was poisonous when it entered the kitchen, then the person who killed the chicken, the soup that was made, and the cutting board on which the chicken was cut would all have toxins left on them."

The restaurant manager inspects the chefs.

The chef nodded and said, "The chicken and side dishes were prepared by my apprentice."

He asked someone to call his apprentice over, and the apprentice brought all the chicken's innards that hadn't been processed yet. Each chicken had its own bag, and the innards of chicken number 18 were displayed intact in front of everyone.

The apprentice explained, "This chicken showed no signs of poisoning. The cutting board was used to cut the chicken, as well as other meats and some side dishes, all of which were on the table with each dish."

The hall erupted in another uproar.

Someone shouted, "I ate meat and vegetables that were contaminated with poison, and I'm poisoned too..."

"I was wondering why I kept feeling unwell; I think I've been poisoned..."

The scene became chaotic again.

The captain and deputy captain looked at each other, wondering why each piece of evidence was so bizarre and strange.

Over there, the auto parts factory director, getting a little impatient with the commotion, gave Lin Jiefang a wink.

Lin Jiefang raised his hand, asking everyone to quiet down and listen to him say a few words.

Once the scene quieted down, he sighed and said, "It was my oversight. I was just trying to repay a debt of gratitude, but I never expected... It was my fault. I shouldn't have changed the chicken at the restaurant, otherwise this poisoning incident wouldn't have happened."

Upon hearing this, Li Banxia raised an eyebrow.

Lin Jiefang glanced at Li Banxia, ​​his eyes filled with guilt, but he didn't say a word.

He said to the captain and deputy captain, "Officers, their evidence is not convincing at all; it sounds more like sophistry. My guest is still in the hospital getting his stomach pumped, and his life hangs in the balance. Please sort out the case as soon as possible and give my guest justice."

"Lin Jiefang, you ungrateful wretch!"

Su Laosan felt nauseous at his pretentious manner. "When you were little, you wore thin pants that exposed your butt. If my mother hadn't taken pity on you and sewed you a thick cotton-padded pair, your butt would have been frozen to death long ago!"

"Wind protection!"

Lin Jiefang raised his voice, pinched his brow, and looked very troubled. He said, "I owe your mother a debt of gratitude, but that has nothing to do with the truth. I can't disregard other people's lives just because your mother has been kind to me!"

After speaking, he looked at the captain and deputy captain.

The captain and vice-captain looked at each other, their expressions grim.

These strange pieces of evidence are indeed not very convincing.

"Master."

The apprentice almost cried; he had only just begun learning, and now the restaurant was going to go bankrupt because of a single chicken.

The chef stepped forward and said, "The chicken wasn't poisoned when it entered the restaurant, and it certainly wasn't poisoned when it was killed and used to make soup. If this evidence isn't enough..."

He gave his apprentice a push, telling him to go and fetch another rabbit so they could eat the innards of chicken number 18.

"Also, when serving the soup, the half bowl of soup that is reserved for each table is also brought over."

Upon hearing this, the restaurant manager called for more people to help, and soon the floor was covered with labeled bowls of chicken soup.

The captain was at his wit's end.

Another bizarre piece of evidence has emerged. The problem is that their evidence is all self-evident, like a murderer claiming he didn't kill anyone, with no bystander evidence.

"This is half a bowl of chicken soup left over from before number 18 was served; I ladled it out myself..."

The chef picked up the bowl and, in front of everyone, downed it in one gulp.

A sharp explosion suddenly rang out in the hall!
