Tumi went to the county government office early in the morning, sent money to the quiet room, and went to see Mrs. Fang in the prison. Han Wuwei ordered someone to tell Kang Zhengyuan about this matter, but he didn't explain anything else. But Kang Zhengyuan seemed to understand what he meant, and immediately put down what he was doing to find him. Seeing Kang Zhengyuan coming, Han Wuwei joked that he must be very happy to know that Tumi came. Although both of them are interested in Tumi, they each have their own thoughts. Han Wuwei just appreciates Tumi's tenacity and courage, and finds her very interesting. But Kang Zhengyuan saw Tumi's ability and planned to lead her into the path of lawyer. For this reason, he specially prepared an opponent for Tumi - Sun Xiucai.
Here, Tumi and the others were discussing how to rescue Mrs. Fang, and they rushed over after a while, saying that Zhao Laoqi invited Sun Xiucai to be a lawyer. In the hall, Sun Xiucai insisted that there were witnesses and evidences, saying that Tumi was prosecuting for a murderer. Tumi was short of breath for a moment, and she got into an argument with her, almost disrespecting her in the courtroom. Zhang Hongtu didn't realize that he was being led by the nose by Sun Xiucai, and was so angry that he wanted to throw Tumi out.
At this moment, Kang Zhengyuan and Han Wuwei arrived in official uniforms, publicly announced that Zhang Hongtu had accepted bribes, corrupted the law, and dismissed him from office. Later, Yuan Sanwang Yuan county magistrate came and took over the poisoned fish soup case. The doctor who treated those diners said that these people had symptoms of vomiting and dizziness to varying degrees, which coincided with the symptoms of mackerel poisoning. Mackerel is a kind of fish that people often eat, and there are occasional incidents of poisoning due to improper cleaning.
Wu Zuo told everyone that there were no other toxic substances in the poisoned diner's vomit, and Zhao Laoqi had no other symptoms. One of the poisoned diners, Huang Langjun, said that a total of ten people were poisoned that day, and all ten people ordered hibiscus fish soup. Hong Bantou, who was investigating in Linshuilou that day, introduced that the hibiscus fish soup was not handled by others from the pot to the pot that day, and was operated by Mrs. Fang from the beginning to the end.
The current witnesses and material evidence are not good for the other lady, but Tumi found doubts from the dictation of these witnesses. Dr. Wen said that those people were indeed poisoned because of the fish soup, but whether Zhao Laoqi died because of the fish soup, he was not sure. Later, Tumi asked Dr. Wen to treat Huang Langjun, and found that he is fine now. That Zuo also admitted frankly that he could not find out any hidden diseases of the deceased.
It can be seen that the death of Zhao Laoqi cannot be determined to be related to fish soup. Tumi argued hard and finally reversed the previous unfavorable situation. However, Sun Xiucai changed the topic. Although Zhao Laoqi's death had something to do with Yutang, it was related to Mrs. Fang. According to him, Mrs. Fang had had a dispute with Zhao Laoqi before, and even threatened to let him die. Lady Fang admitted this, but said that it was because Zhao Laoqi blackmailed and harassed herself, so she spoke to scare him.
Sun Xiucai squinted her eyes, saying that the grievances between Mrs. Fang and Zhao Laoqi did not stop there. Then he called Lai Chundashan and asked him to tell the story of his acquaintance with Mrs. Fang. Seven years ago, when Chun Dashan came home from the army, he saw Zhao Laoqi bullying Mrs. Fang when passing by a wasteland, so he stepped forward to save her. And Mrs. Fang did say that she would kill Zhao Laoqi. Sun Xiucai held on to this sentence, thinking that Mrs. Fang had the motive to kill Zhao Laoqi, and now the evidence is solid.
Tumi fell completely passive all of a sudden, unable to think of how to deal with it. Han Wuwei stood up suddenly, then fainted to the ground. The hall fell into chaos for a while, and everyone didn't care about the case, so they hurriedly sent Han Wuwei to the room to rest. Kang Zhengyuan knew that Han Wuwei was delaying time for Tumi, and he was angry and anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
After a short rest, Tumi finally thought of a countermeasure. The neighbors all know that Zhao Laoqi's first wife chased him three streets with a kitchen knife because he wanted to take a concubine. It would be too absurd to kill him just because she said she would kill him. Sun Xiucai was at a loss for words for a moment, his eyes dodged and he didn't dare to look up at Tumi. Upon seeing this, Yuan County Magistrate announced that the meeting will be discussed another day. After returning home, Tumi sat in front of the case all day, writing lawsuit papers one by one. At night, Tumi suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly changed into night clothes and slipped out. But she never expected that Han Wuwei seemed to know that she was going to climb over the wall and go out, so he waited here early to greet her. Tumi didn't want to get entangled with him, so he quickly ran away while he was unaware.
