Dali Temple Small Dining Room

  Chapter 273 Salty and sweet Laba porridge (1)

   It has been many years since that incident happened that year, but some features on the corpse cannot be concealed no matter how many years have passed.

"Your grandmother suffered accidents one after another because of her father and brother, and her only daughter was in possession of tens of millions of wealth. Many members of the same clan coveted her family property. In order to prevent others from coveting, your grandmother got married and had children early after Jiji." Lin Fei said, "There are not a few women of this age who get married and have children, and there are also quite a few who don't!"

  The female corpse buried inside obviously belonged to the latter.

  Perhaps, the other party did not think that the corpse buried under the loess would be dug up and see the light of day.

   It is still unknown 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 smiled wryly. While smiling wryly, 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 am the one who came out to contact those people, and I am the one who ordered and arranged all these things. Besides, I also have motives," said Li Zhou after a pause, and then said, "The words just now are indeed from my heart. I have complained to many people since I was a child in Datong. You can check it out at will. Then you can find a lot of witnesses who have heard me say these words!"

   "It's me who came forward as a witness to testify..." Li Zhou said this, looked at Lin Fei, and smiled wryly, "Is the testimony of the biggest suspect in this case really able to convict them?"

   Liu Yuan, Bai Zhu and the others looked even more ugly, and it was only then that they discovered the thorniness of this case.

  Even if they know that Li Zhou did not do this, and there are people behind Li Zhou, but... what is the evidence?

  The biggest witness is precisely the most direct "true murderer" on the surface. How much weight can the testimony of the "true murderer" have?

"It's the same for those bandits with knives!" Li Zhou smiled wryly, and shook his head with a depressed expression, "How do they testify? I was the one who contacted them. As for their parents... not to mention that their parents are dead, there is no Death, those people can't let them leave any physical evidence, just like me!"

   Without physical evidence, extremely reliable witnesses are needed! But this case is tricky because the strongest witness is the "true culprit" on the surface. In this way... the witness is almost abolished!

  What Li Zhou knew and understood, how could Lin Fei and others not know?

When he walked out of the prison of Dali Temple, Liu Yuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "These people are really... fortunate to be born rich, but the big men don't want to make a difference! Even if they do nothing, it's fine to be a 'rich and idle person'. This group of people It’s good, but it’s really hateful to spend all your thoughts on such evil ways!”

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

  Seeing that the real culprit was on the sidelines, but because there was no evidence, he couldn't be brought to justice. It really made people feel stuck in their throats, and the matter seemed to be completely deadlocked!

  The entire Dali Temple was unable to bring the murderer to justice because the real murderer was nearby, and the atmosphere suddenly became stagnant.

   What is even more hateful is the provocation of those gangsters!

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

Looking at Liu Yuan who was limping and the dust on his official robe, Bai Zhu and Wei Fu who were talking about the case were taken aback, and quickly turned around and asked Liu Yuan: "It's early in the morning, huh?" What's up with this look?"

Liu Yuan shook his head with an ugly face, and didn't want to say more, he just glanced at the two bowls of porridge brought by the public kitchen on his case, and sighed: "The days go by so fast, I almost forgot that today is Laba !"

  The bowl on the left is the most common Laba porridge: its ingredients are extremely rich! The thick soup base is boiled into a dark red color. On top of the porridge soup, all kinds of ingredients "protrude" out. The common peanuts, red beans, longan, lotus seeds, red dates and other things are naturally not lacking, but quinoa, walnut kernels Raisins, raisins, pumpkin seeds and other things are also faintly visible.

  With such rich ingredients, Liu Yuan couldn't help raising his eyebrows when he saw it, and asked in surprise, "Aren't there eight kinds of ingredients for Laba porridge? How many ingredients did Master Wen use for this Laba porridge?"

Seeing that Liu Yuan came to Dali Temple in a mess, Bai Zhutong and Wei Fu were still a little worried, but seeing that he could still notice the food, he must have looked in a bit of a mess, but he didn't suffer any injuries, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Said: "I've asked, this sweet traditional Laba porridge Chef Wen used 18 kinds of ingredients in total, and the light rice used five kinds of rice, millet, chicken head rice, glutinous rice, and sorghum rice, not to mention other things!"

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 scooped it into the blue and white porcelain bowl containing the porridge. I couldn't help but let out a "huh" in surprise, looking at the brown chestnut meat scooped out from the spoon, and said in surprise: "There are still chestnut kernels?"

Bai Zhu on the side nodded, and was about to speak when Liu Yuan blew on the spoon, then put the spoonful of Laba porridge filled with various ingredients into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and squinted comfortably Squinting his eyes, he couldn't wait to scoop up another spoonful.

   Eating Laba porridge mouthful after mouthful like this... Bai Zhu and Wei Fu looked at each other, and said in a low voice: "I can still eat it as if I didn't suffer any injuries!"

   "It's not just enough to eat?" Wei Fu sneered, shook his head, and said, "The appetite is better than mine!"

The cooked Laba porridge is thick and sticky, with a sweet taste. The beans such as red beans and mung beans have been boiled until they "blossom". All kinds of rice have different tastes, but they have all been boiled until they are soft and rotten, and they can be crushed with a light sip. The chestnut meat powder is glutinous and sweet, and the lotus seeds are slightly harder than most of the ingredients in the porridge... One bite Going on, because of the "rich" ingredients, the taste is also surprisingly rich!

One spoonful after another, after the last spoonful entered his stomach, Liu Yuan turned his head, and couldn't wait to look 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 bean curds are all cut into small square pieces, sinking and floating in the jade white porridge bottom, and the top is dotted with fresh green onions. At a glance, the color is extremely bright!

  Smelling the salty and fresh aroma from the bottom of the porridge, Liu Yuan took a deep breath, saying, "It's the first time I've seen salty Laba porridge!" and scooped it into the porridge bowl impatiently.
