Chapter 273 Salty Sweet Laba Porridge (1)

Many years have passed since that incident occurred, but there are some features on the corpse that cannot be concealed no matter how many years pass.

"Back then, your grandmother's father and brother suffered accidents one after another, and her only daughter had a fortune of tens of millions. Many people from the same clan coveted her wealth. In order to cut off other people's covetousness, your grandmother and Ji later got married and had a son early." Lin Fei said, "There are not a few women of this age who are married and have children, and there are also many who are not!"

The female corpse buried inside obviously belonged to the latter.

Perhaps, the other party never thought that the body buried under the loess would one day be dug out and seen again.

It is not known who the female corpse inside is, but this alone is enough to prove that the corpse is not Li Zhou's grandmother.

Li Zhou fell silent, and after a while, he asked Lin Fei: "Where is my grandmother's body?"

Lin Fei shook his head and said, "I don't know!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Zhou immediately laughed bitterly. While smiling bitterly, he shook his head and said, "It's useless!"

it's useless? How is it useless? Liu Yuan was about to speak when he heard Li Zhou say: "I was the one who came out to contact those people. I was the one who ordered and arranged all this. I gave instructions for everything. Whether it was a witness or a physical evidence, it was all done by me." Yes! Besides, I also have a motive." At this point, Li Zhou paused and said, "Those words just now are indeed from my heart. Many people in Datong have complained about me since I was a child. You can check it at will. Then you can find a lot of witnesses who heard me say these things!”

"It means I come forward to testify..." After Li Zhou said this, he looked at Lin Fei and said with a wry smile, "Can my testimony, the biggest suspect in this case, really convict them?"

The faces of Liu Yuan, Bai Zhu and others became increasingly ugly, and it was only then that they discovered the difficulty of this case.

Even if they knew that this matter was not done by Li Zhou and that there was someone behind Li Zhou, but... where was the evidence?

The biggest witness is precisely the most direct "real culprit" on the surface. How much weight can the testimony of the "real culprit" carry?

"The same goes for those bandits who are looking for swords!" Li Zhou laughed bitterly and shook his head in a depressed manner, "How can they prove it? I was the one who contacted them. As for their fathers...not to mention that their fathers are dead. Even if he’s not dead, those people can’t let them leave any physical evidence, just like me!”

Without physical evidence, an extremely reliable witness is needed! But the trick of this case is that the most powerful witness is the "real murderer" on the surface. In this case... this witness is almost useless!

How could Lin Fei and others not know what Li Zhou knew and understood?

When he walked out of the Dali Temple prison, Liu Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "These people are really... fortunate to be born rich, but they don't want to do anything! They just do nothing. It's just a 'rich idler'. These people He is a good person, but he spends all his time on such evil ways, which is simply hateful!"

What's even more despicable is that the other party had expected all this, and without definite physical evidence, these murderers could not be brought to justice!

Seeing that the real culprit is at hand, but there is no evidence, he cannot be brought to justice. It is really a pain in the neck, and the matter seems to have reached a deadlock!

The atmosphere in the entire Dali Temple suddenly became stagnant because the real murderer was at hand but could not be brought to justice.

What's even more hateful is the provocation of those thugs!

Early in the morning, Liu Yuan came to Dali Temple full of anger.

Seeing the limping Liu Yuan and the dust on his official robe, Bai Zhutong, Wei Fu, who was talking about the case, was startled, and quickly turned around and asked Liu Yuan: "It's so early in the morning, 豼Why does it look like this?”

Liu Yuan shook his head with an ugly expression. He didn't want to say anything more. He only glanced at the two bowls of porridge sent by the public kitchen on his case, and sighed: "The days passed so fast, I almost forgot that today is Laba Festival." !”

The bowl on the left is the most common Laba porridge: it has extremely rich ingredients! The thick soup base is boiled into a dark red color. On top of the porridge soup, various ingredients are "peeped" out. Common peanuts, red beans, longans, lotus seeds, red dates, etc. are naturally not lacking, as well as quinoa and walnut kernels. , raisins, pumpkin seeds and other items are also vaguely visible.

Seeing such rich ingredients, Liu Yuan couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Isn't there eight ingredients for Laba porridge? How many ingredients did Master Wen use for Laba porridge?"

Seeing Liu Yuan arrive at Dali Temple in a state of embarrassment, Bai Zhutong and Wei Fu were a little worried at first, but seeing that he could still pay attention to eating, he must have looked a bit more embarrassed, but not injured, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Said: "After asking, Master Wen used a total of eighteen kinds of ingredients for this sweet traditional Laba porridge. He only used five kinds of rice, millet, chicken head rice, glutinous rice, and sorghum rice, not to mention the others!"

The Laba porridge with such rich ingredients is really eye-catching. Liu Yuan sat down in front of his desk, picked up a spoon, and poured a spoonful into the blue and white porcelain bowl containing the porridge. I couldn't help but let out a surprised "Eh", looking at the brown chestnut meat scooped out from the spoon, and said in surprise: "There are actually chestnut kernels?"

Bai Zhu on the side nodded and was about to speak when he saw Liu Yuan blowing on the spoon a little, then put the spoonful of Laba porridge filled with various ingredients into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and squinted in pleasure. Squinting his eyes, he eagerly scooped up another spoonful.

Eating Laba porridge one bite after another... Bai Zhu and Wei Fu looked at each other, lowered their voices and said, "You can still eat it and pretend you haven't been hurt at all!"

"More than just being able to eat it?" Wei Fu squeaked slightly, shook his head and said, "You have a better appetite than me!"

The cooked Laba porridge is thick and sticky, with a sweet taste. Red beans, mung beans and other beans have been cooked until they "bloom". The rustling texture is integrated into the porridge base, adding a sticky "waxy" feeling to the porridge base. Each type of rice has a different texture, but they are all cooked until soft and can be crushed into pieces with just a sip. The chestnut meat powder is glutinous and sweet, and the lotus seeds taste slightly harder than most of the ingredients in the porridge... When you take a bite, the texture is amazingly rich due to the "rich" ingredients!

One spoonful after another, after the last spoonful was in his stomach, Liu Yuan turned his head and looked eagerly at the bowl of Laba porridge that was completely different from ordinary Laba porridge: brown bacon, plain white radish, orange carrot, brown... The white and white dried tofu is cut into small square pieces and floats in the jade-white porridge base. The top is dotted with fresh green onions. At a glance, the color is extremely bright!

Smelling the salty aroma emanating from the bottom of the porridge, Liu Yuan took a deep breath and said, "This is the first time I've seen salty Laba porridge!" while eagerly scooping a spoonful into the porridge bowl.
