Before Yi Yami and the other two entered the house, they saw Yao Wenyuan and others coming towards their home.
Yao Wenyuan was still sizing up the geographical location, but when he saw Gu Beijian, his eyes lit up. Gu Beijian gave him a look, and Yao Wenyuan immediately understood and pretended not to know him, "Sir, County Magistrate, this is Yi Laoer's home."
Yao Wenyuan nodded, looked at Yi Yami who had just reached his chest, and asked, "Were you the one who noticed something was wrong this morning?"
Yi Yami nodded and told the story again.
Everyone heard it clearly and couldn't help but sigh that the girl was very careful, otherwise the Yi family would have gone bankrupt and lost everything in compensation today.
Those people who Du Yiyami had asked him to teach a craft before all gave up the idea.
The coroner went in and began to examine the rat's body and test whether there was any poison in the food.
Yao Wenyuan sat in the yard, watching the coroner examine and perform the autopsy.
Some of the yamen runners were checking inside the courtyard, while others were checking outside.
People who came to watch gathered around to watch, and some who were not tall enough even climbed up trees to watch.
After the autopsy, the coroner brought the dismembered bodies to Yao Wenyuan. "Sir, I've examined them and found that these rats were poisoned. Their skin is red and swollen, and some are ulcerated. Furthermore, I found that their intestines and other organs have been damaged to varying degrees. I can confirm that they were poisoned."
Yao Wenyuan covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, examined them carefully, and waved his hand, "Take them away and register them clearly. These might burn in a fire. Don't throw them around or bury them in the ground. It would be bad if they caused a chain reaction."
"Yes!" The coroner stepped back.
After putting down the dead rat, the coroner washed his hands and turned back to inspect the jars of braising liquid. He inserted a silver needle into the jars and when he took it out, it had turned pitch black. "Sir, this braising liquid is no longer acceptable. It's poisonous and must be disposed of."
"Burn them together." Yao Wenyuan ordered.
"Yes." The coroner received the order and ordered several yamen runners to find a vacant lot first.
The yamen runners who were inspecting the courtyard found two shoe prints, one large and one small, at the base of the wall. "Sir, there are shoe prints at the base of the wall! Judging from the size of the shoes and the force of the footsteps, it must have been done by a man and a woman!"
Yao Wenyuan got up to check and confirmed that it was correct.
"Chief of Lujia Village, please arrange for everyone in the village to bring over the shoes they are wearing for comparison," Yao Wenyuan arranged.
Zhou Qi nodded and went out to make arrangements.
The food of Yi Lao Da and Yi Lao San was also piled in the yard for the convenience of the coroner's inspection.
