If the pufferfish in the fish soup had nothing to do with Bang Geng, then it must have something to do with Qin Huai Ru.
When he got home from work, he didn't go into the kitchen, so he didn't have the opportunity to poison anyone.
Moreover, the grain, oil, and vegetables consumed at home were all paid for by Yi Zhong Hai and purchased by Qin Huai Ru.
Could it be that Yi Zhong Hai, unable to buy a pufferfish himself, went to the market to buy one for murder?
Pufferfish are not something Yi Zhong Hai could even buy, as they are not available in the market.
This thing is highly poisonous, and who would dare to handle it if they weren't a top chef with extensive experience?
It's possible that the whole family would end up at a banquet.
According to the autopsy results from the judicial authorities: the pufferfish in the fish soup was cooked.
And its maturity was the same as that of the catfish.
From this, it can basically be judged that the pufferfish and the catfish were put into the pot at the same time.
Yi Zhong Hai did not admit to buying the pufferfish to poison, and Qin Huai Ru could not produce any actual evidence to prove that Yi Zhong Hai had obtained the pufferfish.
Naturally, the suspect shifted to Bang Geng.
Qin Huai Ru, enraged, cried out in court: "Our Bang Geng is a good child!"
"He absolutely would not harm anyone with poison. I, Qin Huai Ru, swear to heaven that the pufferfish in the soup has nothing to do with Bang Geng!"
"If I lie, may lightning strike me!"
"Silence, silence!"
Qin Huai Ru's performance completely frustrated the court staff.
Did she not realize where she was? Was this a place for her to make oaths?
Yi Zhong Hai cleverly escaped, shifting all the responsibility onto Bang Geng.
However, Qin Huai Ru could not produce enough evidence to clear Bang Geng's suspicion.
Finally, in desperation, Qin Huai Ru resorted to a tactic of prevarication.
Qin Huai Ru claimed that Bang Geng was just a child and did not recognize pufferfish.
At that time, Bang Geng had bought several fish and put them in a bag. She had only glanced at it, and might not have noticed the pufferfish in the bag.
This case, which seemed very complicated, was actually very simple.
The court made its judgment on the case that day:
Qin Huai Ru's negligence led to the tragedy, and she was sentenced to one month of labor reform in the first instance!
Yi Zhong Hai's carelessness and failure to carefully inspect the fish soup.
Indirectly caused the death of the deaf old lady by poisoning, and he was also sentenced to one month of labor reform!
Bang Geng insisted that he did not recognize pufferfish and was not criminally punished, but was required to receive legal education from the neighborhood committee.
Neither Yi Zhong Hai nor Qin Huai Ru raised any objections to this verdict.
This sensational murder case was thus temporarily concluded.
One of the main reasons was that the deaf old lady was a solitary elderly person, and no one was willing to come forward to help her with the lawsuit.
Instead, culprits like Yi Zhong Hai and Qin Huai Ru showed a strong will to survive.
They fought desperately in court to absolve themselves.
After the verdict was announced, the public opinion atmosphere in the courtyard became lively again.
"That deaf old lady is truly... beyond words!"
"Don't you think the deaf old lady died unjustly?"
"Heh heh... I can only say that the deaf old lady deserved to die!"
"She always liked to throw her weight around, and now she's getting her comeuppance!"
"Yes, what's there to feel wronged about the deaf old lady? Didn't she trust Yi Zhong Hai?"
"Now that's great, she's gone to heaven, and that house will become Yi Zhong Hai's spoils!"
"Isn't this a win-win situation?"
"The deaf old lady personally pressed her fingerprints and gave the inheritance to Yi Zhong Hai, now she can rest in peace!"
"Old Wu, don't speak so harshly!"
"Regardless of anything, the deceased should be respected!"
"Yes, the deaf old lady is already dead, what you're saying is a bit excessive!"
"Before she died, she definitely didn't know that the person who poisoned her was Yi Zhong Hai!"
"If she had known this earlier, she probably wouldn't have pressed her fingerprints on the will before she died, right?"
"What's the use of us saying this now? It's a done deal!"
"The deaf old lady is dead, and Yi Zhong Hai has already obtained the deaf old lady's will!"
"Yi Zhong Hai has become the biggest winner, and when Yi Zhong Hai is released from the detention center, he can still legitimately inherit the deaf old lady's inheritance!"
"Is it possible that no one can punish this old beast Yi Zhong Hai anymore?"
"By the way, Fei Yan, you're a university student, an educated person!"
"Is there any way... to invalidate Yi Zhong Hai's will?"
"Letting him inherit the deaf old lady's house, I really can't stand it!"
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
For a moment, all eyes turned to Zhao Fei Yan.
In fact, Zhao Fei Yan joined the crowd precisely to prevent people from gossiping about Liu Kai Xuan behind his back!
She rarely interjected when everyone was chatting.
Now, being stared at by a large group of people, Zhao Fei Yan could only brace herself and express some of her opinions.
Zhao Fei Yan thought for a moment and replied: "Of course there is a way. That will was signed under the auspices of the neighborhood committee!"
"The signing of a will must, in principle, be public and just!"
"Now it is basically certain that this will was signed under unfair circumstances!"
"As long as the neighborhood committee issues a public statement, the will in Yi Zhong Hai's hands can be declared void!"
"A will that is declared void is basically a waste of paper, with no effect!"
Li Xing Gai suggested: "Then, if that's the case, let Kai Xuan go to Director Wang to talk about this matter!"
"Given Kai Xuan's status, Director Wang should give him some face!"
Zhao Fei Yan repeatedly shook her head and chuckled: "Li Xing Gai, what are you talking about?"
"My man's director position is at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill!"
"And the problem we need to solve now is a dispute within the courtyard. This matter should be presided over by Wang Da Peng!"
"Wang Da Peng is now the number one elder of our courtyard!"
"Yes, yes, yes, Yan Zi is right, this matter should indeed be handled by the First Elder!"
"Wang Da Peng has been the First Elder for so long, it's time for him to do something practical for our courtyard today, right?"
Everyone agreed with Zhao Fei Yan's point of view and immediately dumped this heavy task onto Wang Da Peng.
Although Li Xing Gai did not want to trouble Wang Da Peng, if she refused, it would likely have a negative impact on Wang Da Peng's prestige.
There was no other way, so Li Xing Gai had to brace herself and reply: "Alright, I'll call Wang Da Peng to find Wang Jun later!"
"But, you all have to go with me. There are more people, and that can represent everyone's will!"
