Chapter 76 Found evidence
Jiang Zhiyu and others walked around the crowd and came to the front door of Feng's house. The door of Feng's house was closed, and two servants stood at the door with serious expressions.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" asked a servant.
"We are students of the Imperial College and would like to know something about Feng Mei," said Jiang Zhiyu.
The servant hesitated for a moment and said, "This matter involves family affairs, and it is inconvenient for outsiders to interfere. You should go back."
"We don't want to interfere in family affairs, we just want to know the truth and seek justice for Feng Mei," said Liu Mengmeng.
Seeing their sincere attitude, the servant said, "In that case, please follow me in."
Arriving at the living room of the Feng family, Jiang Zhiyu and others met the owner of the Feng family, Mr. Feng. Mr. Feng had a sad face and his eyes were full of doubts.
"Mr. Feng, we heard that an unfortunate incident occurred in your family, so we came to express our condolences. At the same time, we also want to know the truth of the matter." Jiang Zhiyu said.
Mr. Feng sighed, "This is indeed a sad thing. My son was very smart since he was young, but he died because of this murder. I didn't want to pursue it, but the pressure of public opinion forced me to find evidence to prove my daughter-in-law's innocence."
"Mr. Feng, do you think your daughter-in-law is really guilty?" Kang Yining asked.
Mr. Feng was silent for a while, then said, "I don't have much experience with her, but I don't think she is that kind of vicious woman. There must be something fishy about this matter."
Jiang Zhiyu and others looked at each other and decided to investigate the matter in depth.
Jiang Zhiyu and Xu Guokun were responsible for investigating the family background of the Feng family. They consulted a lot of information from the library of the Imperial College and learned that the Feng family was a famous family in Jindu and had close ties with the royal family. Feng Mei's family background was also quite unusual. Her father was a general of the current dynasty, and her mother was the daughter of a famous family.
Liu Mengmeng and Hu Jiahong were responsible for finding out Feng Mei's personality and interpersonal relationships. They learned from Feng Mei's relatives and friends that she had a gentle personality, was friendly to others, and had a good relationship with her neighbors. However, before the incident, the conflict between her and her husband Feng Hao was getting worse and worse, and the two often quarreled.
Kang Yining and Zou Ting were responsible for investigating the crime scene. They came to Feng's house in Qingtong Lane and carefully observed the situation at the scene. They found a bottle of poisoned wine that had not been finished in the room where Feng Hao died of poisoning. After some searching, they found a gold ring in the corner of the room with the three words "Feng Meishi" engraved on it.
Liao Zhen and Zhang Anjie were responsible for investigating the servants of the Feng family. They learned from the servants that Feng Mei had entered the room alone on the night of the incident. The servants also said that Feng Mei was very caring and never harsh on the servants.
After some investigation, the ten Huangban disciples gathered the clues and found that although Feng Mei was gentle, she had a tense relationship with her husband Feng Hao. The ring at the crime scene became an important piece of evidence pointing to Feng Mei.
However, Jiang Zhiyu felt that the truth had not yet been revealed. He carefully analyzed all the clues and believed that although Feng Mei was the most suspicious, there were still many unsolved doubts. So he decided to conduct an in-depth investigation to find more evidence.
By chance, Jiang Zhiyu found an ancient book in a pile of old books in the Imperial College. The book recorded a rare poison. This poison is colorless and tasteless. The poisoned person will die in a short time, and no blood can be found. Jiang Zhiyu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he realized that this might be the poison used by Feng Mei.
In order to verify his inference, Jiang Zhiyu found the pharmacist of the Imperial Academy. After some research, the pharmacist confirmed the existence of the poison and said that only a very few people knew the formula of the poison.
After some effort, they found an important clue: the owner of a pharmacy near Feng's house once sold a poisonous herb to someone.
They found the owner of the medicine shop with this clue, and after some interrogation, the owner admitted to selling poisonous herbs. However, the owner said that this person did not specify the purpose of the poisonous herbs when she bought them, and he did not know that she would use them to poison people.
Jiang Zhiyu had a clue in his mind. He returned to the Imperial College and told the other Huangban disciples about his discovery. Everyone agreed that Feng Mei's suspicion could be ruled out. So, who was the real murderer?
The ten disciples from the Yellow Class split up again and continued to look for clues from various angles.
After some efforts, they finally discovered that the real murderer was Aqiang, a servant of the Feng family. Aqiang was found out by Feng Hao for corruption and was afraid of being exposed, so he designed to poison Feng Hao and frame Feng Mei.
"I didn't expect that the real murderer turned out to be Aqiang. Why did he do this?" Liu Mengmeng frowned.
"A Qiang was discovered to be corrupt by Feng Hao. He was worried that the truth would be revealed, so he took a risk and planned to poison Feng Hao in an attempt to put the blame on Feng Mei." Jiang Zhiyu explained briefly.
Zhang Anjie slammed the table and said angrily: "This Ah Qiang is really a ruthless person. For money, he actually killed people! We must expose his crimes and seek justice for the Feng family."
Zou Ting nodded in agreement: "That's right, we can't let the innocent Feng Mei suffer any more injustice. The most important thing now is to find evidence and bring A Qiang to justice."
So, the ten Huangban disciples split up again and looked for evidence on their own. They went deep into Qingtong Lane, visited Feng's neighbors, relatives and friends, and even found Aqiang's fellow townsman.
During the investigation, Xu Guokun discovered an important clue. It turned out that before Ah Qiang poisoned Feng Hao, he had close contact with a mysterious person. Who is this mysterious person? Why did he collude with Ah Qiang? All of this has become the focus of the Huang class disciples.
In order to find out the identity of the mysterious man, Hu Jiahong and Kang Yining decided to sneak into Aqiang's residence to look for clues. They carefully looked through Aqiang's belongings and finally found a clue in a tattered diary.
The diary records the process of Aqiang's acquaintance with the mysterious man. It turns out that this mysterious man is Aqiang's distant relative, Chen Dahai, who was wanted by the government for theft. After Chen Dahai learned about Aqiang's corruption, he took the opportunity to threaten Aqiang and forced him to poison Feng Hao so that he could seize the Feng family's property.
After learning the news, the Huang class disciples decided to take action immediately to arrest Chen Dahai. They split into two groups, one group led by Jiang Zhiyu, Liu Mengmeng, Xiao Wen and others to follow Chen Dahai, and the other group led by Zhang Anjie, Zou Ting, Xu Guokun and others to contact the government to arrest Chen Dahai.
After some twists and turns, the Huang class disciples finally found Chen Dahai's hiding place. In a fierce battle, they successfully captured Chen Dahai and searched him for poison and weapons.
Faced with the ironclad facts, Chen Dahai had no choice but to admit his guilt. He confessed his crimes and expressed his willingness to accept legal sanctions.
