214 Madam Su’s Case
Li Yu looked up at Zhou Jia and said, “Xiao Xi, did you check the victim’s throat during the autopsy?”
“We didn’t. Coroner Yang checked the victim’s stomach and organs and said that he didn’t find any signs of poisoning.”
“Then go back and ask the coroner to check the victim’s throat or the top of the skull for any red blood halo scars.”
Zhou Jia asked in confusion, “Yu’er, are there any explanations for investigating these two places?”
“I heard from my master that someone harmed people like this.” Li Yu had no choice but to mention her nonexistent master again. She told Zhou Jia about the few cases she had seen in her previous life. “Xiao Xi! I don’t know if I can help you, but I can provide you with an idea.”
Zhou Jia was surprised and sighed. “I’ve never heard of it. If you didn’t mention it, I really wouldn’t have thought of it. When we go to the government office later, I’ll get someone to call Coroner Yang and check on the two places you mentioned.”
The husband and wife lay together for a while. Zhou Jia suddenly thought of Doctor Wen and said to Li Yu, “Yu’er, do you still want to sleep for a while? I have to go out and see if the doctor is back!”
“Sir is here!” Li Yu sat up in surprise. “When did Sir come? Is he well?”
Zhou Jia picked up Li Yu’s clothes and put them on her. “He’s alright but he’s older now. Sigh! Let’s go out and ask him to take your pulse.”
When the couple arrived in the living room, they saw Li Qing, Mr. Wen, and Mr. Qian talking in the living room. Li Yu walked forward and bowed. “Sir, you’re here!”
Doctor Wen smiled and said, “You’re not feeling well. Stop being so polite! Come, sit down and let me take your pulse!”
“Ah!” Li Yu agreed and sat down. Zhou Jia hurriedly placed a pulse pillow on Li Yu. Everyone held their breaths and watched as Mr. Wen took Li Yu’s pulse.
After a while, Mr. Wen smiled happily and said, “Both mother and child are fine. Rest more and eat less spicy and greasy food!”
Zhou Jia smiled and said, “That’s good. Is there anything else I need to pay attention to, sir?”
Doctor Wen glared at Zhou Jia. “Aren’t you my disciple? Why are you asking me this?”
Zhou Jia smiled awkwardly and said, “I’m just not good enough!”
Everyone laughed. Doctor Wen rolled his eyes at Zhou Jia and said gently to Li Yu, “You’re in good health. Eat well, but don’t nourish yourself too much. When the child is too big, the mother will suffer.”
“Got it, sir.” Li Yu knew that Mr. Wen was sincerely good to her by reminding her like this. There was no such thing as a cesarean section in the current world. If the food was too nutritious, the child would be too big, making it difficult to give birth.
Mr. Wen then said to Zhou Jia, “Mr. Qian just said that you guys received a case. It seems the victim’s family said that he was poisoned to death, but you can’t find the cause of death. You should know that if the cold isn’t treated in time, someone will die.”
“Yes, sir.” Zhou Jia told them what had happened again. “Based on Madam Su’s actions, she is indeed suspected of killing her husband. The deceased’s mother insisted that Madam Su killed her son and would rather conduct an autopsy to investigate. However, after the autopsy, we didn’t find any signs of poisoning. Just now, Yu’er told me a few strange things. I’ll get Coroner Yang to investigate when I return to the government office later.”
Zhou Jia and Mr. Qian rushed to the front office and sent the magistrate officers to call Coroner Yang over.
After Coroner Yang arrived and heard Zhou Jia’s words, he cut open the deceased’s throat with suspicion. Sure enough, he found a piece of tin.
Yang Quo took out a piece of tin and said to Zhou Jia, “Lord Zhou, you really predict things like a god. It turns out that the victim was suffocated to death with a piece of tin blocking his throat. This method is really vicious. It seems that Madam Su really murdered Wang Daqiang.”
Mr. Qian looked at the tin block on the plate and thought to himself, “Madam is a true god. It’s as if she has seen it with her own eyes.”
After filling in the autopsy report, Scribe Tu handed it to the coroner to sign. When he saw the tin on the plate, he couldn’t help but shiver. “This is really too vicious. Logically speaking, a woman like Madam Su shouldn’t be able to think of such a vicious method to harm others. Who exactly is that person to make that vicious woman harm her husband like this? She’s really heinous! Lord, please send someone to capture that vicious woman!”
Zhou Jia entered the hall and took out the green head lot. He instructed the bailiff, “Go to the Wang family quickly and arrest Madam Su!”
The bailiffs took the lot and replied in unison, “Yes, sir.”
In the Wang family, Old Madam He placed her sleeping grandson on the bed and quietly walked to the central room. She stood behind the door frame and looked at Madam Su, who was lowering her head and fidgeting. She walked up to her and pointed at her with gritted teeth. “Madam Su! You vixen and whore! How dare you say that you didn’t kill my son? When my son wasn’t at home, I saw you dress up like a vixen several times to sneak to the Silver Craftsman Shop at the end of the street. Tell me! Did you hook up with that Silver Craftsman?”
“You’re slandering me!” Madam Su looked up at Old Madam He. “Old woman, you said that I killed your son. Show me the evidence! Without evidence, you’re slandering me.”
Old Madam He looked at the self-righteous Madam Su and gritted her teeth in hatred. She raised her hand and slapped Su Shi. “Vicious woman! Don’t be smug. Your evil deeds will be revealed sooner or later. At that time, I’ll eat your flesh and drink your blood.”
Madam Su covered her face and looked at Old Madam He. “Old woman, what right do you have to say that I killed your son? Did you see it with your own eyes? Ever since I entered the house, you’ve never liked me. Then why did you let Wang Daqiang take a wife?! Can’t you just live with your son? Let me tell you, I didn’t kill your son. If you have the ability, show me the evidence!”
“Bitch, vixen, you want me to die!” Old Madam He pointed at Madam Su. “What a pity. If I won’t die until I skin you alive, I won’t die. I’ll watch you until you show your fox tail!”
Then there was a knock on the door. “Open up. We’re from the county office.”
“From the county office!” Old Madam He’s eyes lit up as she glanced at Madam Su. “Vicious woman! Your retribution is here.”
Madam Su looked at Old Madam He’s back with disdain and sneered. Old Madam He opened the courtyard door, for the bailiff who said, “Madam He, we are ordered to arrest Madam Su, Su Qinniang.”
Old Madam He’s tears fell as she said with a trembling voice, “Qingtian, was my son really killed by that evil woman?”
“We were only ordered to capture her. Whether or not Madam Su killed your son will only be known after Lord Zhou has investigated!”
Madam Su looked at the bailiff walking towards her and couldn’t help but retreat. She said in horror, “I didn’t kill him. You can’t arrest me. You don’t have evidence.”
The bailiff held Madam Su’s hands with a flail. “Let’s go! You’ll know if there’s any evidence after you go to the county office.”
