Ma Shicai swore that Li Sheng was the murderer of his ex-wife, but Qin Tianming wanted to hear it carefully.
Although Ma Shicai was the chief prosecutor of Qandong County, after several battles, Qin Tianming felt that this man had a false reputation and the cases he handled were extremely untrustworthy, so he needed to investigate them one by one.
Qin Tianming came to Ma Shicai and asked with hidden murderous intent:
"Ma Dachuzuo, how did you conclude that Li Sheng was the murderer?"
When the key issue was mentioned, Ma Shicai immediately fell into memories and said after a long time:
"This matter needs to start from two years ago. According to our investigation, Wu Wan has been married to Li Sheng for more than ten years. After the couple got married, they ran a pawn shop in Qiandong County. The business was very good and their family life was also very good. It is nourishing, and it is said that the relationship between the two is very harmonious. However, half a year ago, her husband Li Sheng suddenly proposed to divorce his wife Wu Wan. This is one of the biggest doubts in this case and also the breakthrough in this case!"
Ma Shicai was rambling, Qin Tianming simply analyzed it for him and said:
"Your analysis is correct. Li Sheng and Wu Wan have a good relationship and live a happy life. However, Li Sheng suddenly proposed to divorce Wu Wan. There must be a reason for this."
Li Shitong nodded and answered from the side:
"Yes, according to our in-depth investigation, Li Sheng seemed to have a harmonious relationship with Wu Wan. In fact, he often visited brothels secretly and had affairs with several brothel girls. Later, with our unannounced investigation, we found that Li Sheng not only had sex with brothel girls He was having an affair, and he was also hooking up with one of his maids, so, "
"so,"
Qin Tianming said directly:
"So this matter caused great dissatisfaction with his wife Wu Wan. Later, Wu Wan found evidence that her husband was cheating, so she got into trouble with him. Li Sheng divorced Wu Wan in anger, and the two of them parted ways, right?"
Bang bang bang,
Ma Shicai gave a burst of warm applause in the hall and said:
"Oh, okay, okay, Qin Dachu is really good at making things, and he knows everything! You are right in your judgment. This is indeed the case, because the husband Li Sheng sneaked into the brothel and annoyed his wife Wu Wan. In addition, the Wu Wan family is not ordinary people. It seems that the court There are people, and they are very powerful, so rather than saying that Li Sheng divorced Wu Wan, it is better to say that Wu Wan kicked Li Sheng out."
"therefore,"
Qin Tianming took it and continued his analysis:
"Therefore, Li Sheng was kicked out by Wu Wan and didn't get any property. So he felt resentful, so he found an opportunity to kill Wu Wan, right?"
Ma Shicai said hurriedly:
"Qin Dazhuzuo, your analysis is very clear. This is what happened. According to Wu Wan's maid's confession, one night three months ago, the suspect Li Sheng went to see his ex-wife Wu Wan and had a fierce quarrel with Wu Wan. After Li Sheng left, Wu Wan disappeared the next day without any trace. When the Wu family found out, they immediately reported it to the government. They suspected that Li Sheng had killed Wu Wan, but there was no evidence until Wu Wan's body was found three times. Months later, he was found in the well of Li Sheng's house, and the county government believed that it was indeed Li Sheng who had killed his ex-wife Wu Wan!"
The reasoning is tight and flawless.
Li Sheng is indeed the most suspicious.
but,
Qin Tianming frowned and said:
"According to your investigation, Li Sheng is indeed the biggest suspect, and the case is logically reasonable. However, why doesn't Li Sheng admit that he is the murderer? This is the biggest problem in this case."
As for Li Sheng's refusal to plead guilty, Li Shitong and Ma Shicai had already discussed it countless times and had fully grasped the mystery, so Qin Tianming's doubts were not doubts at all to them.
Li Shitong sneered and said:
"Li Sheng is a slightly educated person. He once worked as a clerk in the county government, so he is very clear about the government's way of judging cases. Therefore, he knows that as long as he does not admit to killing his wife, if he encounters the end of the Xia Dynasty, Prisoner, he may be released without charge, this person is not a simple person, this is one of them."
Qin Tianming did not agree with Li Shitong's analysis and said:
"In this case, I want to interrogate Li Sheng again to see how he can justify himself!"
this,
Li Shitong and Ma Shicai immediately looked embarrassed.
Seeing the two of them uneasy, Qin Tianming was filled with doubts and asked:
"What? Isn't this possible?"
Li Shitong hesitated for a while and finally said:
"Yes, yes, you are the judge now, so of course you can interrogate criminals, but, but,"
Qin Tianming asked further:
"What's wrong? Is there another hidden secret?"
Ma Shicai could only answer truthfully and said:
"Hahaha, there is no hidden secret. It's just that after several interrogations, Li Sheng was a little unable to handle it, and he couldn't come to court."
Qin Tianming understood immediately and said angrily:
"Did you torture him?!"
Li Shitong sighed and said:
"This matter has nothing to do with us. This person is as tough as steel and unwilling to confess. When officials from Dali Temple, Yushitai and the Ministry of Punishment met for interrogation, they imposed a few criminal laws on him, but his body couldn't bear it. He is still recovering in prison."
Qin Tianming was very angry, thinking that you, the judges of the Great Xia Dynasty, from Dali Temple to Qiandong County Yamen, what else can you do besides using torture?
How many cases of subjugation have been committed in the hands of you people?
Apart from being beaten into submission, what other abilities do you have? !
What a bunch of fools!
If this continues, we will lose the support of the people, and sooner or later the great Xia Kingdom will be destroyed in the hands of you dirty officials!
Qin Tianming said decisively:
"No matter how badly injured he is, he must be brought up for interrogation! This is necessary!"
When Li Shitong saw Qin Tianming's decisive attitude, he knew that it was impossible not to allow this person to interrogate Li Sheng, so he had no choice but to wink at Ma Shicai.
Ma Shicai was the roundworm in Li Shitong's stomach. He knew his master's inner thoughts. He immediately understood, so he turned back to the head catcher Li Tai and said:
"Captain Li, since Qin Dazhuo wants to interrogate the suspect, please go to the death row and carry Li Sheng out to the court. Be careful not to hurt the suspect when you lift him."
Li Tai was ordered to go down.
After a moment, four detectives came up carrying a door panel.
Qin Tianming took a closer look and almost died of anger.
There was a person lying on the door panel, as angry as a gossamer.
The human body was completely skinless, its limbs were broken, the corners of its mouth were torn with a knife, most of its teeth were lost, its hair was pulled out, and all the nails on its hands and feet fell off.
You can imagine how much torture this person suffered at the Qiandong County Government Office.
This isn't a human being, it's just a corpse!
Although there may not be tiger stools and chili pepper water at that time, there are all kinds of skin and cramps, and I must have used them all.
Qin Tianming shook his head and said harshly:
"What's the law of heaven for you to treat a suspect like this?"
Everyone also came forward to check and sighed when they saw the suspect's condition.
Li Shitong was a little embarrassed and said with an extremely unnatural expression:
"The use of torture was a decision made by officials from the Ministry of Punishments. We don't blame them. It's just because the prisoners were stubborn and refused to admit guilt that they suffered so much. What, what?"
"fart!"
Qin Tianming turned around and stared at Li Shitong angrily and said:
"If I remember correctly, when we decide a case, we must convince the criminal. If you treat the criminal so cruelly, if you beat him to death, it may lead to an unjust, false, and wrongful conviction? This is what you did in Yang Xiaocui's case."
"Where, where,"
When the case of Yang Xiaocui was mentioned, Li Shitong blushed, embarrassed, and explained repeatedly:
"Qin Dazhuzuo, you are serious, you are serious. You don't know that this Li Sheng is really hateful. He obviously killed his ex-wife, but he refused to admit it until she died. That's why he was sentenced to death. He asked for it all!"
"shut up!"
Qin Tianming raised his leg and almost kicked Li Shitong. Li Shitong was so frightened that he quickly backed away.
At this moment, Qin Tianming's head was covered by the imperial envoy Xu Ruhai, and Li Shitong did not dare to draw his sword to force him.
Moreover, the wise thinking and rigorous reasoning that Qin Tianming showed in the past few days made Li Shitong and Ma Shicai feel scared and did not dare to make mistakes.
After scaring Li Shitong away, Qin Tianming came down and whispered to Li Sheng who was lying on the door panel:
"Li Sheng, Li Sheng, how are you? Can you hear me?"
Li Sheng said nothing.
Qin Tianming lowered his head and asked a few more questions.
After a long time, Li Sheng regained consciousness, sighed, and suddenly said:
"This is how Li's life should be. He only wants to die, so why bother asking!"
Qin Tianming said hurriedly:
"Li Sheng, I am the new Chuzuo who is responsible for investigating your case. If you have any grievances, no matter what, I will definitely redress your grievances. Do you understand? This may be your last chance!"
Since Li Sheng was arrested by the Qiandong County government, he has been tortured countless times and has been behind bars several times. His life is like a thread, and he has almost no hope of retribution to anyone in the government.
It’s just that a little new person has arrived, a pariah from the Great Xia Kingdom. Can he wash away my grievances?
joke! impossible!
Neither Dali Temple nor the Ministry of Punishment can do it, so what can he do?
Li Sheng smiled hoarsely and said:
"So what if I admit it? So what if I don't admit it? Qiandong County's government office is as dark as hell. Daxia has no grievances to complain about. Even if you are a god, there is nothing you can do to change it. Come on, don't bother me. Let me die like this, and it will be worthy of my lost ex-wife."
Qin Tianming said in a low voice:
"Li Sheng, it seems that you and your wife have a very good relationship."
Li Sheng sighed again and said:
"What's the use of saying this? I hope we meet again in the next life. I will definitely treat Wu Wan well and grow old with her."
Qin Tianming looked at Li Sheng who was in great pain and said:
"If your wife were still alive, she would be deeply moved after hearing this."
Li Sheng said quietly:
"Well, there is still a question whether she is dead or not. She may be a ghost, or she may still be a human. Who knows, hehehe, do you think she is Kitsaku-sama?"
When Li Sheng said this, Qin Tianming couldn't help but feel stunned, and asked after a long time:
"Li Sheng, you said your ex-wife is not dead?!"
Li Sheng remained silent until he was carried out of the execution hall, and then he said quietly:
"Where she is, only the devil knows!"
As soon as these words came out, Qin Tianming's heart skipped a beat, and he stood in the execution hall, lost in thought.
When Li Sheng was carried out of the execution hall, Qin Tianming was still stunned.
Li Sheng's last words just now made him a little enlightened.
No wonder?
With a sudden understanding, all the previous ideas about the case suddenly collapsed.
A glimmer of hope flashed through his heart!
We are too sloppy and have forgotten such an important key factor!
If there is a problem in this link, they will not be able to solve the case even if they go to heaven and earth!
My horse duck!
Qin Tianming couldn't help but sweat broke out on his head.
He didn't wait for everyone to look at him and shouted hurriedly:
"Quick, quick, quick, open the cabinet and do an autopsy, open the cabinet and do an autopsy!"
