Chapter 530: Chapter 532: I Heard You Two Had a Fight_1
The forensic doctor confirmed that this batch of facial cleanser and face masks indeed contained pine poison, but what was strange is: he tested ten boxes in total, seven of which were poisoned, and three were not.
The forensic doctor then scraped three samples from those seven boxes to test for pine poison.
Only one of the three samples contained the pine poison, while the other two did not.
That is to say, the poison was unevenly distributed and could not have originated from the raw materials since Nan Feng cooked them in one pot. If the raw materials were poisonous, then everything in the pot should be poisonous; it shouldn’t be so scattered.
In the courtroom, the owners of the Medical Hall who supplied Nan Feng, the couple Li Moxiu, and the workers were all present.
Lord Song interrogated each owner of the Medical Hall one by one, as Nan Feng’s raw materials were purchased from them.
Lord Song had years of experience in conducting trials and interrogations. He could sometimes tell who was lying and who was telling the truth by looking at their eyes, speaking speed, tone, and body movements.
However, after a series of interrogations, Song Cheng didn’t think that the problem lay with the Medical Hall owners.
Even Xiaoqing was interrogated for a long time, but she obviously knew nothing.
“Nan Feng, it is now certain that there was no problem with your products before they were concocted. The problem arose after this. Who and what did you come into contact with in between? Think carefully!”
Nan Feng had been thinking about this for a few days during her detention but still could not come to a conclusion. She had contact with workers, Long San, Ye Ge, and afterward Xiaoqing in the shop, but all these people were those she trusted and presumably wouldn’t commit the crime.
Nan Feng then looked at the boxes of face masks and facial cleansers laid on the ground by the forensic doctor.
For some reason, she suddenly remembered the picture of preparing these items at Spikenard Square that day—
“Are the boxes for this batch a little light? Were they delivered from Qinbao?”
“Yes, they were delivered by Qinbao yesterday. Because the wood for this batch is different, the color is a bit lighter.”
Boxes?
Nan Feng had never doubted the box because the boxes from Qinbao were indeed made of wood, sometimes a batch of wood is darker and sometimes lighter. She had always used boxes from Qinbaohouse, considering it a normal situation.
“Your Honor, could the problem be with the boxes?” Nan Feng voiced her thoughts: “Although I’m not sure how the crime was conducted, this batch of boxes seems to be suspicious!”
She glanced at the people kneeling in the hall. All of them were suppliers of medicinal material, but Qinbao, who supplied the boxes, was not present.
…
In a tea house in the city, in a private room.
Tea fragrance fills the room as two elegantly dressed ladies drink their tea while chattering.
“I heard that the trial has been going on for three or four days now,” said Wan Fengzhen with a smile: “Also, there are more and more people causing trouble at Spikenard Square. The shop has been sealed, and I think Spikenard Square is bound to be driven out of the Provincial City sooner or later.”
“Hmph,” Lady Zhi slammed her teacup on the table: “A whore from a brothel dares to compete with me. Just because she has a few shady men protecting her, does she think she can cause a storm?”
Wan Fengzhen was an expert at stirring up trouble. Her seemingly innocuous comments always managed to ignite Lady Zhi’s temper. She continued: “I hate Nan Feng as much as you do, but I didn’t expect you to teach her a lesson time and time again. Is this because of that argument you had with her at the entrance of Baihuaqifang that night?”
