Chapter 81 The Cans Were Switched
"Mrs. Fang, this matter really needs to be investigated. Otherwise, who would dare to eat from the Fang family in the future?"
Cheng Fangjiao was wearing a peach pink dress and her voice was soft and crisp, but it made Mrs. Fang's heart shudder. Yes, the incident happened in the Fang family. Although the person who died was a maid of the Fang family, if this matter is not investigated thoroughly, who would dare to come to the Fang family for a banquet in the future?
Xiao Jiuyue's gaze fell on Cheng Fangjiao. She was the one Tang Tian always talked about: Isn't she just Cheng Fangjiao, who has a county magistrate as her father?
Her hair is covered with pearls and jade, her eyes are charming and rich, her chin is slightly raised, and her eyes are always high and mighty.
Madam Fang walked forward and saw Captain Lin interrogating the maid. She said, "Captain Lin, there will be no problem with the Fang family's maid."
"Whether there's any problem or not, we'll know after the trial." Tang Tian pursed her lips and said, "Mrs. Fang doesn't want Chief Inspector Lin to conduct the trial. Is she afraid that something will come out and bring shame to the Fang family?"
Tang Tian didn't know who wanted to harm her, but no matter whether it was Mrs. Fang or Fang Caiwei, she was sure that Fang Caiwei was up to no good.
"Miss Tang has misunderstood. I just don't want Captain Lin to waste his time." Mrs. Fang was furious. The Fang family had finally managed to invite Miss Cheng, but who would have known that someone would die in the mansion.
Tang Tian didn't want to play along with Madam Fang, so she simply looked away. Suddenly, she saw Xiao Tao picking up the broken pieces of the pottery jar: "Xiao Tao, why are you still picking up this broken pottery jar?"
Xiao Tao picked up the last piece of the pottery jar and handed it to Xiao Jiuyue.
"Sister Xiao." Tang Tian ran to Xiao Jiuyue's side as quickly as a lark. She saw Xiao Jiuyue holding the fragments of the pottery jar and gluing them together one by one, as if they had been restored to a broken pottery jar.
"This, the pattern, is indeed our pottery jar." Tang Tian frowned. The pottery jars made by the Tang family all have logos, and the pottery jars for the canned oranges are all styles personally ordered by Xiao Jiuyue.
"Take another good look." Xiao Jiuyue reminded.
Tang Tian looked at it carefully again and again and said, "This is indeed our pottery jar."
"Tang Tian, are you stupid?" Xiao Jiuyue looked at her silly appearance and shook her head helplessly. She said with certainty: "Your can of oranges has been switched!"
"Ah?" Tang Tian shouted excitedly, "I knew my delivery process was all correct. There will definitely be nothing wrong with the canned oranges I delivered!"
"Captain Lin, I have evidence!" Tang Tian shouted excitedly to Captain Lin.
Captain Lin listened to Xiao Jiuyue's words and asked, "What evidence do you have to prove that this pottery jar doesn't belong to Miss Tang?"
Captain Lin had interrogated the maid, but there was no flaw in her answer. However, after hearing what Tang Tian said, he immediately became alert.
"We bought a lot of canned goods from your family, not just this one. That can was made by your Tang family, and the canned oranges inside were also made by your candy shop."
Fang Caiwei spoke immediately. She stared at the broken can and racked her brains but couldn't figure out what was going on. This can was filled with the old can she had used. No one would recognize it!
"I see the same thing."
"That pattern, that color of the jar, it's true that only the Tang family kiln can produce it."
All the ladies and young ladies who came here bought canned oranges at home. Everyone has these beautiful ceramic jars at home.
"The jars are the same, but the numbers are different!" Tang Tian had also noticed the sign and said, "Each batch of our goods is different. The one with this pattern is from the first batch."
Tang Tian pointed at the bottom of the fragment and said, "We're already on the third batch of goods, and the pattern has been changed a long time ago, so this can't be the goods I brought today!"
"You said it is? It's like a ghost painting a talisman. Who knows if you are making it up?" Fang Caiwei's heart skipped a beat. She stared at Xiao Jiuyue. She was clearly wearing plain clothes, with only a single jade hairpin in her hair, but when she stood there, she was... more beautiful than the jeweled Cheng Fangjiao...
It seemed that whenever she stood there, she had an indescribable temperament.
Fang Caiwei was panicking. She stepped forward and said, "Tang Tian, don't even think of talking nonsense. We in the Fang family have always been strict in our family management. Unless someone wants to use our Fang family to deal with you!"
"Cai Wei." Mrs. Fang shouted harshly. Her words offended all the guests.
"I'm sorry, Caiwei was just anxious and said something without thinking. Please don't take it to heart." Madam Fang smiled gently and asked, "Miss Tang, you said that the pattern on the bottom is your serial number. Do you have any evidence?"
"Of course we have them. You can find them anywhere in our candy shop, picking up canned oranges, or even in our warehouse." Tang Tian was absolutely certain of this. "The pattern on the bottom of each pottery jar is different. This one, for example, is from the first batch and is currently in the canned orange workshop."
"Captain Lin, you can take people to search immediately." After Tang Tian confirmed, she immediately looked at Captain Lin and explained in detail how the jars in their candy shop were coded and sorted.
"I will take people to your warehouse right now." Captain Lin was very serious and responsible. He immediately took the yamen runners to look for people. At the same time, he asked everyone not to leave. In this way, no one would tip off the Tang family, and they could confirm that what Tang Tian said was true.
As soon as Captain Lin left, Tang Tian started talking to Xiao Jiuyue. She whispered, "Sister Xiao, it's a good thing you came."
If it weren't for Xiao Jiuyue, she would probably not be able to explain herself today.
Xiao Jiuyue's lips curled slightly as she said, "I also have a share in the candy shop. I'm also helping myself."
Now that everyone has been settled down by the Fang family, Xiao Jiuyue and Tang Tian are sitting in a corner. Xiao Jiuyue said, "The other party is making such a big fuss, and the person they want to deal with is definitely not an unknown little maid."
"Yes!" Tang Tian excitedly glanced at Xiaozhu lying on the ground covered with a white cloth, and then looked at Fang Caifei, the second young lady of the Fang family, who was crying beside her. If Fang Caifei had not felt sorry for the maid who was serving her and gave her the canned oranges to eat, and the maid had blocked the way for her, Fang Caifei would have been the one to die.
Tang Tian stood up excitedly and looked at Fang Caiwei and said, "Fang Caiwei, you'd better apologize to me later, apologize to the Tang family, and apologize to my candy shop. Otherwise, my candy shop won't need customers like the Fang family who throw dirty water on my family in the future."
The situation was urgent at the time. Fang Caiwei almost named the woman who wanted to harm the young lady of the Fang family. She wanted to hand her over to the authorities on the spot. She would remember this grudge!
"I, I'm just worried. After all, this happened in my Fang family." Fang Caiwei said embarrassedly. Compared with Tang Tian's solemn oath, her words seemed a little guilty.
"Really? I thought you were feeling guilty." Tang Tian stared at Fang Caiwei. If anyone in the Fang family wanted Fang Caiwei to die, it must be Fang Caiwei!
