Chapter 5: My daughter is well raised
Mrs. Cao answered subconsciously: "He, he couldn't eat river shrimp before, otherwise he would itch all over his body and get a rash..."
As she spoke, her eyes suddenly widened: "You! You mean he--"
Ye Chutang thought to himself that as expected, Cao Chengwu's death was indeed consistent with death from allergic suffocation. As long as the allergen was found, the problem would be solved.
"Did he touch any river shrimp after he went back yesterday?"
Mrs. Cao looked at a loss, "No, no! Everyone in the family knows that he can't eat river shrimp, so we never prepare this! How could it be..."
Ye Chutang narrowed his eyes slightly: "Does everyone in the family know?"
The Cao family was considered a wealthy family in Jiangling, with three courtyards and a host of maids and servants.
There are so many people here, who can ensure that there will be no problems?
"What did he eat after he returned yesterday? Whose hands did it pass through? Is there anything left now?"
Ye Chutang asked a series of questions, but Mrs. Cao looked confused and couldn't answer any of them. She just shook her head and kept saying it was impossible.
"Miss Ye Er!"
Cao Chengwen suddenly called her, looking as if he couldn't bear it.
"My second brother's death has already caused a great shock to my mother. Please don't push her anymore!"
Ye Chutang's eyes swept over him quietly.
"Master Cao, I understand how you and Madam Cao feel, but I am doing this to find out the truth as soon as possible and give everyone an explanation. How can you say that I am forcing you? Don't you want to know how your brother died in vain?"
This is harsh, but also straightforward.
Ye Chutang didn't want his brother to take the blame, so it was understandable that he wanted to know the truth.
The questions she asked were normal inquiries and could not really be described as "excessive".
Cao Chengwen immediately raised his voice to refute: "How is that possible! Don't, don't lie!"
Ye Chutang said, "Mrs. Cao is in grief, so it's normal that she can't remember anything for a while. It doesn't matter. Then we can interrogate all the people in the Cao family, and then everything will be clear, right?"
Cao Chengwen didn't say anything, but his eyes flashed.
"There are so many people at home, and a day has passed, how can we find out? My second brother has already passed away, why bother him like this!"
He shouted at the servant beside him: "Hurry up and help mother back!"
The two maids responded in unison and stepped forward quickly.
Cao Chengwen looked sad. "Father is still out there and hasn't come back yet. If he knew that my second brother would be tortured like this after his death, I wonder how miserable he would be! What are you all standing there for? Send my second brother home!"
He is the eldest son of the Cao family. At this time, Mrs. Cao is in a trance and emotionally agitated, so of course the servants only obey him.
"Wait a minute!"
Suddenly, shouts were heard from outside the crowd, and two officers came quickly.
"Someone called the police and said a murder had occurred here. What happened?"
Cao Chengwen was shocked and subconsciously looked at Madam Cao. He lowered his voice and asked anxiously, "Mother, who are you looking for? Didn't I tell you this morning not to report to the police first!?"
Mrs. Cao was also surprised: "I, I didn't!"
Her son was dead and her mind was in a mess. When Cao Chengwen mentioned that Cao Chengwu and Ye Yunfeng had a fight yesterday, she subconsciously concluded that the murderer must be Ye Yunfeng, and without thinking, she brought people to block the door.
Cao Chengwen also specifically reminded her that Ye Chutang had cured the emergency illness of Wu, an official from the yamen, and had saved his life. If she called the official over, it might be disadvantageous to them, so she did not ask anyone to report to the police.
Seeing that someone had already come over, Cao Chengwen hurriedly explained: "No, no! It was just a misunderstanding. Sorry for the hassle of making this trip!"
Wu Xu glanced around and stayed on the black coffin for a few seconds.
Anyone could see that something was wrong, otherwise why would someone block someone else's door with a coffin! ?
He looked at Ye Chutang, but his attitude was very polite.
"Doctor Ye, what do you say?"
Ye Chutang bowed and briefly recounted what had just happened without bias.
"…That's probably it. I didn't want to trouble you two, but the charge of murder is too serious. If I don't ask clearly, my brother will bear this charge in vain and his life will be ruined. I hope you can forgive me."
Wu Xu stroked his beard and nodded repeatedly.
"That's right! Since the Cao family said that it was Ye's son Silang who killed someone, then we must get to the bottom of this matter! In this case, we will first send Cao Chengwu to Yizhuang and have Zhang the coroner from the government office do an autopsy. After determining the cause of death, we can make a final conclusion!"
"this--"
Cao Chengwen opened his mouth to refuse, but the other party was an official and he was a civilian, so how could he argue?
He wanted to argue a few more words, but Wu Xu had already raised his hand.
"Walk!"
He took two steps forward and turned back: "Both of you should come together! Let's go to the government office and talk it out!"
Ye Chutang couldn't ask for more.
Just before she went out, she heard the other party's shouting and knew that he had bad intentions, so she specifically told A Yan to climb over the wall and ask her neighbor Aunt Yang to help her report to the police.
Three years ago, Wu Xu owed her a favor, and today was the time to ask for it.
If the Cao family wants to cause trouble, she will make it bigger to see who is the guilty one!
Ye Yunfeng never thought that just a fight would bring such a big trouble to his family. After all, he was only twelve years old, and it was impossible for him not to be nervous and afraid.
"Sister, I'm sorry." He lowered his head in guilt, "It's all my fault!"
Ye Chutang said calmly: "You said you didn't kill the person. Sister believes you, but others may not believe you. If I can't prove your innocence today, your life will be ruined and there will be no possibility of getting up again."
Ye Yunfeng lowered his head, feeling ashamed.
It's all because he was too impulsive! If he hadn't --
"So, the most important thing to do is to consider whether you can bear the consequences. Since you have done it, you must be brave enough to take responsibility." Ye Chutang raised his eyebrows slightly, "Or do you not even dare to go to the charity cemetery?"
"Of course I dare!"
Ye Yunfeng suddenly straightened his back.
He didn't kill anyone, so what is there to be afraid of!
Ye Chutang nodded in satisfaction, "Let's go then."
Xiaowu is being taken care of by A Yan at home, so there shouldn't be any problems.
She felt relieved, glanced at Cao Chengwen, whose face was slightly blue in front of her right, and followed him without saying a word.
…
Inside the house, Lian Zhou recounted what had just happened and was still amazed.
"...I never thought that a weak woman like her would dare to open the coffin and perform an autopsy in public! This is really-"
He thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a suitable word, and he became worried again.
"But Master, if she doesn't come back, your injury..."
The master's health has just improved. If Ye Chutang is trapped, then -
Shen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows slightly, “She will be fine.”
Weak woman?
This word really has nothing to do with her.
That pure and clean face is so deceptive that if you don't know it, you would really think it is a delicate little white flower. Little did you know...
Suddenly, he noticed something, looked up, and saw a little head poking out from behind the half-open door.
The little kid opened his big black eyes, looking curious and cute.
The corners of Shen Yanchuan's lips curved.
"But the girl is well raised."
