Before concluding the case, Qin Tianming had been allowed to review the case file of the female corpse.
It turned out that this murder case was a backlog left by the previous county magistrate Jiang Taijun. Because Jiang Taijun was promoted to the judge of Bei'an Prefecture and was eager to take office, he handed the case over to the two men in charge of justice, Diao Youzhen, and the head catcher Li Tai. Assist in investigation and handling.
The leader, Li Tai, is uneducated and comes from a martial arts background. He has brains but no skills. Because of his military exploits, he was assigned to work as a worker in the county government. Although he lost an arm on the front line, he is still very powerful and can fight fierce beasts with one hand.
This person is only responsible for apprehending criminals, and all matters of solving the case are left to Diao Youzhen.
Judicial Diao Youzhen is a cunning and cunning person, a corpse stitcher from a humble background. She is short of money and only recognizes the money but not the corpse.
The person under Diao Shizhen who was responsible for solving the case was a famous Yin Yang from all over the country. His Taoist name was Fo Chenzi and his famous name was Li Shitong. This man had profound magic power. All the major cases in the county were carried out, the dead were buried, the corpses were raised and the graves were dug, and the dead were eaten as well as the living.
The case adjudicator is both a great yin and yang. With his special status, he is able to mobilize most of the professions in Qandong County, such as chuzuo, informant, black and white, knight-errant killer, famous family, big family, upright, etc. Taoism, Buddhism, generals, princes, etc. should be more effective in solving crimes.
Unfortunately, this is just an illusion. The seemingly capable case-solving system could barely operate at first, but after it became a huge monopoly industry, everything became erratic.
As for the case of the female corpse, Qin Tianming did a little research on the case in the water prison and felt that their conclusion of the case was not so much a matter of disregarding human life, but a direct killing in broad daylight.
Flaws abound, making it unbearable to read.
Da Xia Dynasty deserved to be besieged and killed by neighboring countries for its level of solving cases!
However, Qin Tianming knew very well that Qiandong County was no better than modern society. Although these people were incompetent in solving cases, they were actually extremely cunning. They often bribed people up and down, and became a powerful machine for creating unjust cases in Daxia. , so it is not easy to stop this machine.
If you want to destroy their jobs, they will take your head off first.
Therefore, it is more difficult to overturn the case than to solve it, so Qin Tianming needs to be careful.
It is difficult not to offend them too much, but also to clear up the grievances.
No matter what, let's live one day and talk about it one day, show your hands first and then talk about it.
Qin Tianming rolled up his sleeves while thinking about it, put on a pair of torn gloves, stepped forward carefully, untied the fishing net, moved the body upright, stretched out his hand to open the eyes of the deceased, and inspected carefully, then pulled up the wrist and arm of the deceased, and looked at him from side to side for a while. , then used the corpse pole in his hand to pry open the teeth of the female corpse, and looked inside the mouth and nose for a while, then checked the spots on the corpse, then played with the drooping head of the female corpse, and finally checked the three plates, suddenly turned around, threw away the gloves, and patted The sleeves stand in front of the hall.
A true professional player, in less than three minutes, all the conditions of the body are known:
It wasn't poisoning, not killing with a knife, not drowning, but being strangled to death and thrown into the lake. The body was swollen. If you didn't examine it carefully, you wouldn't find the pinch marks on the neck at all.
Standard forensic autopsy procedures.
Combined with the case, Qin Tianming's mind was spinning rapidly, and the facts of the case were gradually becoming clear.
To capture the thief, capture the king first. Qin Tianming knew clearly that if he wanted to overturn the case, he must first find the culprit.
He thought for a moment, then locked his eyes on a person holding a female corpse in his hand, bowed his head and asked:
"Are you the judge in this case?"
The Great Yin Yang Li Shitong's ancestors were all Yin Yang plus coroners for three generations. He was a well-known big shot in Qiandong County. He had handled countless corpses with few mistakes and had a high reputation.
He is the chief judge in Yang Xiaocui's case.
Faced with the questioning of this young Chu Zuo Bai, Li Shitong stretched out his hand and wanted to slap him so hard that he would not recognize his relatives until his death. He would be filled with regrets and even cry out in pain when he saw the King of Hell.
But Li Shitong was too lazy to move a finger. He basically ignored the pig-killer in front of him and ignored him.
After a while, Qin Tianming bowed his head and asked again:
"Excuse me, are you the judge of this female corpse?!"
Li Shitong kept talking and laughing with others, and continued to treat Qin Tianming as nothing.
Everyone snickered.
Qin Tianming is not angry at being so embarrassed. He understands psychology and knows how to deal with such ancient villains. If you are angry, you will be fooled by him.
The Jedi traveled through the Great Xia Kingdom and encountered an unprecedented difficult situation. You have to be careful when dealing with an ant at the beginning. What's more, if the case is not solved, you will die. How dare you make a mistake?
However, I have to give this person a blow and hit his vital points, otherwise it will be difficult to open up the situation in the future.
You must know the right measure of your attack, otherwise he might kill you!
Qin Tianming stepped forward, bravely raised his hand and cursed:
"Li Shitong, you stupid fool! You are so indifferent to human life! You are also known as the first judge of Qiandong County. You are so embarrassing! I think you are the one who deserves to be killed!"
Everyone was shocked and felt that Qin Tianming was crazy. The opening game stimulated the great Yin Yang Li Shitong. Isn't this looking for death?
Sure enough, Li Shitong was furious. He drew the sword from his waist on the spot and rushed towards Qin Tianming.
In the hall, Xu Ruhai, the minister of Dali Temple, just snorted coldly. The county magistrate Gao Buwei immediately understood, slapped the alarm, ordered the police to step forward and stop Li Shitong, and said:
"Li Yinyang, don't be angry, don't be angry, you just need to cooperate with him in judging the case! Don't be violent."
A local snake cannot fight a strong dragon, and the imperial envoy dare not refuse to give him face.
Li Shitong sneered a few times, staggered his sword into its sheath, and sat back in his seat, his eyes showing murderous intent.
The start was thrilling, but Qin Tianming had no choice but to risk it all. He understood that for a modern man to travel to this jungle world where force conquers everything, the only way is to fight hard.
These people are all powerful and brave, and there is no chance of winning against them despite their physical strength.
Qin Tianming mustered up his courage and stepped forward again. His attitude softened and he bowed again and asked:
"Master Li, are you responsible for handling this female corpse case?"
Li Shitong glanced sideways at the Dali Temple Minister and Gao County Magistrate in the hall, and found that the two men looked a little ugly. He felt that if he did not cooperate with this bad novice to solve the case, he might offend the two adults.
He held back his anger and whispered:
“So what if it is, so what if it’s not?”
Qin Tianming secretly cursed you for not being mute, but he asked:
"If you are responsible for handling this case, then I want to ask you the simplest question: Why did you arrest a man named Wu Abao as a suspect for killing this woman? What is the reason?"
Li Shitong looked up at the roof beams and said coldly:
"Wu Abao kidnapped Yang Xiaocui and drowned him in the lake. The facts of the case are clear and obvious. If the county government does not arrest him, then who will they arrest? You?"
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha,
Qin Tianming suddenly let out a sarcastic laugh and asked:
"Then let me ask you! Mr. Li, are you so confident? How do you conclude that Wu Abao, who is currently on death row, is the murderer of Yang Xiaocui? Where is the evidence? What is the reason? What is the reason?"
After three questions, Li Shitong said unkindly:
"Do you still need me to answer this matter for you personally? Ma Chuzuo, who was in charge of the autopsy at the time, is in the hall. You will understand naturally if you ask him. Do you understand?"
It is not easy to open up the situation. These local snakes must be deterred first, otherwise it will be difficult to get things done.
Qin Tianming suppressed his anxiety and turned around to ask:
"Excuse me, who is Ma Chuzuo?"
A thin, lean old man with a mustache, three white eyes, and a lame leg had already come up from the hall.
This person is Chu Zuo, a well-known person in Qiandong County, the deputy chief of Chu Zuo, and the current chief of the county government in Qiandong County. He is also the disciple of Judge Li Shitong, and is known as Ma Shicai in the world.
As expected, it is not impossible for heaven and earth to fail.
Ma Dachu jolted forward and introduced himself:
"The villain Ma Shicai is the coroner of Yang Xiaocui's case. If you have any doubts about Shi Ma, just ask me, and don't bother Mr. Li."
also drink,
Qin Tianming rolled up his sleeves, because since he time traveled, he had been wearing a black robe, and the sleeves always covered his wrists. He had no choice but to roll up his sleeves all the time, and he had to do this first in every move.
Qin Tianming rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his hand, pointed at the female corpse on the corpse table, and asked Ma Shicai directly:
"Since you are the chief, I want to ask you, how did you conduct the autopsy and inference? What evidence is there to conclude that Wu Abao is the murderer of Yang Xiaocui?"
The contempt on Ma Shicai's face could be contained in a vat. He flipped the three whites and scolded this boy for being ignorant. If he was given a gong, he would beat it like a drum. Later, he would say that he was speechless and then crush him to death. It said:
"When I did the autopsy, the woman's feet were tied and she was wrapped in a fishing net. There was a large stone weighing 300 kilograms in the fishing net. It sank to a depth of ten meters at the bottom of the lake. It was dug out when someone was digging sand, so it was concluded that it was There is no doubt that he was killed, why do you still question this?"
Qin Tianming nodded, approved a few times, and said:
"Of course, the homicide must be homicide. Even this idiot can see that a person would never tie his own hands and feet, wrap himself in a fishing net and jump into the lake to commit suicide. However, the biggest problem here is: you and Mr. Li How could you conclude that this woman is Yang Xiaocui in the first place?"
This is a corpse source issue.
In all murder cases, the most important thing is to find out the source of the body. Qin Tianming knows this very well.
The source of the body was found and half of the case was solved.
Ma Shicai was very proud and said:
"Of course there is evidence. When the villain inspected the scene, he sent several fishermen to dive into the water to check the drowning scene. A bracelet was found at the bottom of the lake where the deceased fell into the water, which coincided with the traces of the bracelet on the deceased's wrist. There were also shoes on the shore. Just a stick and nothing else.”
"Based on the bracelet and the owner's name engraved on it, it was concluded that this person was Yang Xiaocui, the eldest daughter of the Yang family. Her family also came to visit the body and recognized on the spot that this was their daughter Yang Xiaocui. The bracelet was given to her by her mother. , do you still have any doubts about this?"
The problem of the source of the corpse has indeed been solved, the inference is flawless, and Qin Tianming has not found any flaws.
The female corpse is Yang Xiaocui.
But how was the murderer Wu Abao deduced?
This is the key link!
Conspiracy seems to be hidden in this link.
Qin Tianming stared at Ma Shicai coldly and asked again:
"Based on these few things, how can you and Mr. Li infer that Wu Abao is the murderer? This is the key to this case!"
"Evidence!"
Ma Shicai spoke impassionedly, as if singing:
"Analysis of the shoes and wooden sticks found at the crime scene proves that these things belong to Wu Abao. Isn't this irrefutable evidence enough to prove that Wu Abao is the murderer?"
"Who can prove that these things belong to Wu Abao?"
Qin Tianming kept asking questions, unable to give them a chance to breathe.
Before Ma Shicai opened his mouth, Li Shitong had already spoken:
"We checked all the stores that buy shoes in Qiandong County. This type of knitted shoes is only sold in one shoe store. According to the owner of that shoe store, Wu Abao bought a pair of such shoes three months ago and kept the serial number. Moreover, Wu Abao is a sheep herder. He often uses the same sheep herding stick for many years. There are symbols engraved on it. The villagers who are with him testify that the stick by the lake is exactly the sheep herding stick that Wu Abao often uses! Also, According to the account given by the villagers, Wu Abao has actually known Yang Xiaocui for many years. Because Yang Xiaocui is beautiful, Wu Abao often harasses her and has coveted her for a long time. Finally, some villagers also confessed that after Yang Xiaocui was killed, Wu Abao once appeared by the lake, wandering for several days, sighing repeatedly. , sneaky, so, hehehe,"
Li Shitong finished speaking in one breath and concluded in a confident voice:
"So, Qin Dachu, there are all the personal and material evidence for this person, and all the evidence undoubtedly points to Wu Abao! Hahaha, so I conclude that Wu Abao is the murderer. Is it wrong?"
Such irrefutable evidence shocked the gentry and aristocratic people in the hall to applaud and applaud.
In everyone's opinion, the process of determining the case was indeed clear, the thinking was clear, and the evidence was sufficient and reliable. It can be said to be an ironclad case.
In Daxia, a country without high technology, this case could not be solved by anyone.
It seems that this is definitely not an unjust case.
Qin Tianming was speechless after being criticized. He left Li Shitong, came to the atrium and stood there, lost in thought.
There was dead silence in the lobby.
After a while, the county magistrate Gao Buwei peeked at Xu Ruhai, the minister of Dali Temple who was frowning and shaking his head, and suddenly said:
"Okay, this officer believes that the verdict of Yang Xiaocui's case is fair and reasonable, and there is absolutely no injustice. Wu Abao must be the murderer. Well, this case is not an injustice. Let's put it aside for now and let's start the next case!"
"Wait!"
Qin Tianming, who was deep in thought, suddenly turned around and said loudly:
"There are huge loopholes in this case! It is a truly unjust case!"
