The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 75: The Poisoning Event at the Same Year's Party - Part 2

Following the guidance of the young servant, the crowd saw a thin man with a bent back on the last seat in the southwest, and he was shrouded in the shadow of others.

"Jiang Yunhe? How could it be you?"

Seeing the man's appearance, Zhu Hu could not help but blurt out a question, "My third brother is running around for your recovery now, but why did you poison him?"

"Ha... Ha... Haha..."

Before the words were finished, Jiang Yunhe laughed bitterly and wildly, "Recovery? Run around for my sake? Hahaha... Spit! I was blind at the beginning to believe this son of a bitch's lies. In the end, I was cheated by him and lost all of my money. I even got a heavy debt for no reason!"

"A few days ago, I went to ask him for an explanation, but he didn't even want to show his face. He only asked the servant to give me a hanging of copper money, saying that it was a reward for me to play a clown and amuse him these days!"

"Not to mention that. He even thinks about my children. He wants to take them in as playthings in his mansion!"

"Ha... Ha... Yes, I poisoned his wine bowl, but he also asked for it! He should die, this mother f*cker should have died long ago!"

He roared and hissed, and his bent body gradually straightened up. It was only at this time that the people realized that the man who was still depressed a moment ago was also a broad-shouldered, thin waist, eight-foot-tall man!

Jiang Yunhe was indeed unlucky enough. He practiced martial arts hard for many years and finally got a job. As a result, he was first put in prison, and then he was cheated of all his savings by a person of the same year. Finally, he was inexplicably saddled with a pile of heavy debts. Who should be blamed for this?

Therefore, all the people were silent. Even Zhu Hu did not know for a moment whether he should come forward to seek "justice" for Zhu Peng.

"So it was you who put the poison in!"

At this time, a man pointed to Jiang Yunhe's nose and said angrily, "If you want to kill Zhu Peng, just do it. Why did you implicate me?"

This person was none other than Wang Bingxian.

When the people heard this, they remembered the "anonymous letter.” It seems that Wang Bingxian was indeed taken advantage of.

"Ha..."

However, Jiang Yunhe gave a strange smile and sneered at Wang Bingxian, saying with disdain, "Wang Bingxian, you really can bring suit against the victims! Look, what is this?!"

He then took out a handkerchief full of words from his arms and threw it at Wang Bingxian.

Wang Bingxian was about to take it, but Zhu Hu grabbed the handkerchief first and read it from beginning to end.

It turned out that this was also an anonymous letter. It was full of angry words. First, Zhu Peng was scolded, and then it was revealed that Zhu Peng was eyeing Jiang Yunhe's twin children and intended to borrow the debt collector's hand to bring the seven-year-old sister and brother into his mansion as a plaything!

After a change of tone, the anonymous person said that he hoped to work with Jiang Yunhe to get rid of Zhu Peng, who was inferior to animals. He also gave a bottle of poison and an action plan with the letter.

To say that it was an action plan, the plan was very simple.

However, he said that before the gathering party of the same year, he had to find a way to attract the people in the kitchen. Jiang Yunhe just has to sneak in and smear the poison on the wine bowl next to the 30-year-old wine of the “top scholar.” At that time, someone would naturally send the poisoned bowl to Zhu Peng.

When Zhu Hu finished reading this "anonymous letter,” Jiang Yunhe sneered, "I was only half convinced, but the next day someone came to my house and forced me to sell my son and daughter to repay my debt! It was because Zhu Peng had gone too far that I risked my life and decided to follow Wang Bingxian's plan..."

Wang Bingxian quickly distinguished, "What's my plan? Don't cast malicious words on me!"

Jiang Yunhe paid no attention and continued, "In the evening that day, I stayed near the kitchen early, and as expected, I found that all the people in the back kitchen were scolded by Wang Bingxian, so I sneaked into the kitchen. I found a jar that indicates “top scholar” in a 30-year-old wine in the most conspicuous position, while the other jars were all 10-year-old wine!"

After talking about the two causes in succession, Jiang Yunhe gave a sharp look and asked aggressively, "Wang Bingxian, apart from you, the young owner of the restaurant, who else can arrange these two things so seamlessly?"

"I... I... I... I didn't! I really didn't!"

Wang Bingxian was flustered again, shouting in frustration. He tried to come forward and fight Jiang Yunhe, but he was caught by Zhu Hu's wrist before he could get his wish.

"Brothers!"

Zhu Hu said in a deep voice, "No matter who is the mastermind of the two of them, the conspiracy to poison and kill my younger brother has now been proved to be irrefutable. Please help me to get the testimony of the witness and send them to the Ministry of Justice for trial!"

Although Zhu Peng was unpopular, for the sake of his father-in-law, this witness could not be refused.

Therefore, all the people agreed with a roar, and they detained Jiang Yunhe and Wang Bingxian and sent them to the Ministry of Justice.

Who knew that at this moment, someone suddenly behind them said loudly, "Please remain inside, brothers!"

The people looked back in disbelief and saw Sun Shaozong sitting in Zhu Peng's original position, and standing beside him was a sixth-grade Lieutenant named Xu Shouye.

"Ah!"

Everyone did not know what Sun Shaozong was up to. Zhu Hu hit his head and bowed down apologetically at this time. "Brother Sun, don't blame me. I was in a hurry just now and took over your authority of duties. These two criminals should have been sent to the Ministry of Justice by Brother Sun. Only then can they be justified."

When they heard this, they suddenly understood, and then they all showed some disdain.

Sun Shaozong was just like a transparent man. Apart from proving that the poison was put in the bowl, he did not say anything useful, and he still has the face to take credit!

Could it be that he has snatched people’s credit in the previous cases as he has done for this?

In the face of the contemptuous eyes of the people, Sun Shaozong smiled and spread out his hand, "You don't need to be in a hurry sending someone to the criminal department. Why don't Brother Zhu help to solve some questions in my heart first?"

Zhu Hu hesitated and asked, "What are the questions?"

"It's easy!"

Sun Shaozong poked his hand at the wine bowl on the table and asked with a smile, "The first thing I want to know is how exactly this poisoned wine bowl was selected by Zhu Peng. You guys should know that these bowls are divided by him, and he gave himself the second bowl!"

When they heard this, they were all shocked. Immediately, they could not help but wonder, Zhu Peng's initiative to divide the bowls was a temporary intention. Could Wang Bingxian and Jiang Yunhe even have foreseen such a thing in advance?

Zhu Hu also frowned and asked tentatively, "In Brother Sun’s opinion, what’s weird with that?"

Seeing that he did not insist on sending Wang Bingxian and Jiang Yunhe but asked himself directly, Sun Shaozong smiled a little and then said, "I guess the mastermind behind the action of this poisoning plan is not a detailed person!"

"He took it for granted that Brother Jiang would put the poison on the first wine bowl so that the poisoned wine bowl would be sent to the most respected person!"

"It's a pity that his plan made some unexpected errors. Brother Jiang didn't put the poison in the first bowl, but in the second bowl!"

"As for the reason for choosing the second bowl..."

Sun Shaozong turned his eyes to Jiang Yunhe and asked with a smile, "Maybe it's because the poison is a little conspicuous in the light. Brother Jiang is afraid of being discovered in advance, so he has no choice but to put it in the second bowl. Brother Jiang, did I guess it right?"

Jiang Yunhe nodded and said, "That's true! It doesn't seem much outside, but when it's reflected by the stove beside it, the poison looks very eye-catching. So I had to exchange the poisonous wine bowl with the one below."

After a pause, he added, "Because it was written in the letter that someone would naturally bring the poisoned wine to Zhu Peng at that time, I thought there was an insider on the table. Who knew that Zhu Peng would take the initiative to divide the bowls? At that time, I thought it must have hurt others!"

"Haha, that's why I said that the person behind the scenes was not careful!" Sun Shaozong laughed and said, "Just because of this unexpected situation, the mastermind behind the scenes had no choice but to temporarily change his plan and took the initiative to put the poisoned bowl in front of Zhu Peng."

"Wait!"

Zhu Hu exclaimed in astonishment, "Isn't it my third brother who took the initiative to divide the bowl?! Do... Do you mean..."

Sun Shaozong firmly said, "Yes! It was Zhu Peng himself who planned all this behind the scenes! Because at that time, no one except him could accurately select the wine bowl coated with highly toxic liquor! And only he could guide Wang Bingxian and Jiang Yunhe so accurately and force them to join hands to poison!"

"What?!”

"How can this be?"

"Did Zhu Peng commit suicide?"

"Did he spend so much effort just to die at the hands of Wang Bingxian and Jiang Yunhe?"

There was an uproar in the hall, and everyone felt unbelievable. But in addition to this speculation, there was no way to explain what had just happened!

Wang Bingxian and Jiang Yunhe were also confused for a while.

The two people couldn't help asking, "Why... Why did he do this?!"

Sigh~

This time it was not Sun Shaozong who responded, but Zhu Hu around them.

Zhu Hu sighed and said, "You all should know what happened to my younger brother in recent years. On the one hand, he became more arrogant and vented all his discontent with others. On the other hand, he felt guilty about it. Sometimes he mentioned it to me, and he often said that he had been hit by an evil influence and always couldn't control himself doing evil things."

"At that time, I already felt that he was living a miserable life, but I didn't expect that he would finally... Unexpectedly..."

This time he said half of it, but all the people present understood what was not said.

It was only because Zhu Peng could not bear the condemnation of his conscience that he finally came up with this crazy plan to let himself die in the hands of the two people for whom he was most sorry in his life.

It has to be said that this is a ridiculous farce!

"Since Brother Zhu thinks that it was your brother who committed suicide."

However, just when everyone thought that the truth had been revealed, Sun Shaozong said with a smile, "I still have some doubts here, and I need to ask Brother Zhu for some advice!"
