Mu Min couldn't understand these words. "Zhao Xue" and "Returning the deceased's innocence" all meant an unjust case. But he also said it was a homicide.
It doesn't look like he's pretending. This matter seemed to involve a huge injustice. Mu Min nodded and said, "Take it to the pre-trial room. I'll be here in a minute."
"Thank you, chief!" Seeing what the policeman meant, he wanted to kneel down and kowtow to her immediately. Mu Min smiled helplessly. This kind of thing is happening more and more now. Cases such as "stopping sedan chairs to file complaints" and "beating drums to protest grievances" are referred to several cases every day by the municipal and district governments. On the contrary, the courtroom carefully arranged by Judge Liang was not visited by anyone.
However, on the other hand, almost all of these transferred cases are criminal cases involving human lives. The facts of the case may be unclear, or there may be grievances, and they are often old cases. Just clarifying the context requires a lot of energy.
After she finished dealing with the injuries, she came to the pretrial room. But I saw that the complaining woman was in her thirties, dressed in seductive clothes, with a demonic aura smeared on her face, and she looked like a prostitute from Lefang Street.
She had always been disgusted with prostitutes, so she lowered her face and asked, "What is your name? Do you have any grievances to report?"
The woman sobbed and said: "Mr. Wang He, a civilian woman, has an old case. Please ask the master...the chief...to Zhaoxue!" When she said "Zhaoxue", she fell to her knees with a thump and started to cry bitterly.
The crying was extremely painful, but it was a common occurrence for Mu Min. She nodded and said, "Don't cry, get up and speak slowly."
The woman wiped away her tears and talked about the case intermittently.
The case itself is not complicated. The woman's maiden name is He, and her maiden name is "Xi". She was born in a well-off family and has been educated and literate since she was a child. At the age of sixteen, she married a local scholar named Wang. They are a well-matched family, and they are a young couple. They play the piano and the harp in harmony, and they are very affectionate. later
This scholar surnamed Wang studied at Wenlan Academy. Ten years ago, because he was dissatisfied with the directors and directors of the academy embezzling public funds and withholding money, he started a fight with the scholars in the academy, which became very loud at one time. No one in the city knew about it.
Unexpectedly, Mo Rongxin, the leader of the hospital, was so vicious that he colluded with the people of Guandi Temple and sent a conman to seduce Wang Xiucai into gambling. After a few games, Wang Xiucai not only lost his fortune, but also owed huge gambling debts. Even the family's little ancestral property was taken away to pay off debts.
Although he had already repented at this time and knew that he had fallen into Mo Rongxin's trap, there was nothing he could do about it.
"...The civilian woman also advised him at that time that it would be better to stop fighting with the Mo family and just be patient and let it go," the woman cried, "I never thought that the Mo family would be so vicious..."
Although she said she was evil, she refused to say where the evil was. It was the policeman who explained on her behalf that she had gone to her parents' house to discuss raising money in order to pay off her debts. One day when she was alone at home, someone sent her a message saying that her parents-in-law had approved the matter and asked her to hurry over to discuss it. He Xi hurriedly followed the visitor.
"...Now we are walking into a tiger's mouth," the policeman sighed, "It turns out that this is what Mo Rongxin arranged."
He Xi's mother's family was outside the city. She drank a cup of herbal tea at a roadside tea stall because she was thirsty on the way. Unexpectedly, after drinking it, she lost her identity. When she woke up, she slept in a ruined temple with her clothes stripped off. He was actually raped.
Speaking of this section, He Xi just lay on the ground and cried. Mu Min knew that in the social environment at that time, with a scholarly family background like hers, the only way to be tainted was to seek death. I feel very sympathetic.
Naturally, this incident immediately spread throughout the city and became vivid. It is said that she had an affair with the monk in that ruined temple. The scholar surnamed Wang suffered the disaster of ruining his family, and encountered such a humiliating incident. He suffered a complete mental breakdown and finally hanged himself in the academy. And He Xi himself was sold to Lefang Street as a prostitute because of "the husband's debt and the wife's debt."
"I originally wanted to die, but my brother-in-law persuaded me, saying: 'Even if there are dark days, there will be bright days, and the Yellow River will still be clear. Is it possible that the Mo family can cover the sky with one hand for the rest of their lives?'" After saying that, he started crying again
The policeman who said this also shed tears. While wiping his tears with his sleeve, he also tried to persuade him: "Don't cry anymore. The chief will make the decision for you."
Mu Min was very angry after hearing this. She had gone to Guangzhou to handle countless cases, and she had also seen many cases that never saw the light of day. This was the first time she encountered such a vicious plan to wipe out a household. However, when I thought about it again, this matter had nothing to do with the criminal case. Her man committed suicide, which she herself admitted. There were only two legal remedies: first, the scammer set up a trap to induce gambling, which could be treated as fraud; second, drugging could be classified as rape. No matter which one, it is not considered a homicide. Moreover, the case happened more than ten years ago. Needless to say, all the physical evidence was destroyed, and the whereabouts of the witness were missing. How can we file a case based on what she said? What other charges were used to file the case?
However, this case involved people from Wenlan Academy and Guandi Temple, which was indeed very useful "black material". Mu Min made up her mind and immediately asked her to take her to record a complete confession first.
"After recording the confession, take her to the city bureau detention center and temporarily detain her. Don't let her go out again."
"Yes!" Seeing Mu Min's serious attitude, the policeman couldn't help but cheer up.
Just as Lu Dagang walked out of the gate of the Guangzhou Police Station, shaking his sore neck, the police officers passing by on the road, whether they were veteran police officers or police officers recruited from Guangzhou, asked him to call him "comrade first-level commander." This police title is not only unique but also very rare in Guangzhou.
He used to work at a police station in Lingao. After being selected into the Qiongya detachment and moving to Guangzhou, he was promoted one level to several levels. He was appointed as the captain of the first patrol team under the Municipal Bureau's Public Security Section, managing hundreds of new recruits. As a police officer, he also serves as a teacher at the police college, so he is very busy on weekdays.
Lu Dagang enjoyed this kind of busyness. At the beginning of his journey north, Lu Dagang's leader told him that his future was limitless this time and that he would have to achieve his position at least in the future. After he came out of the labor camp, he changed his name. He didn't understand the meaning at the time, but now it seems that the difference of one word is much more solemn and worthy of his position as captain. Captain Lu felt the taste of power and was happy with his work.
Today, I followed Director Mu to inspect the patrol area under my management. He seemed quite satisfied with his work, and his words seemed to put him in high regard. This filled Lu Dagang with the strength to devote himself to the great cause of going north, and he worked harder to rectify his new group of melon eggs.
Lu Dagang was about to eat something on the way and then go back to his dormitory to rest. Suddenly he heard footsteps approaching from behind. Director Mu had reminded him in recent days that the reactionary forces in Guangzhou were temporarily dormant due to the power of the Senate, but Ming Nijue They will not give up their own interests willingly. They had been waiting for the opportunity to wreak havoc on the Senate. Lu Dagang's heart tightened, he drew a gun with one hand, turned around and shouted: "Who is this person?"
The visitor quickly stopped and explained: "Cousin, it's me... I'm your cousin Han Changle!"
"cousin?!"
The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was filled with red clouds. In a tavern not far from the dormitory of the city police station, two men occupied a table and were waiting to be served.
This tavern is newly opened. Because of the close distance, the naturalized police officers who come from Lingao usually do not bring their families. Although there is a canteen that serves three meals, they also want to change their taste on weekdays, so this tavern has become prosperous. Due to the police's work schedule, the restaurant was open until midnight - which was rare in the Guangzhou catering industry at the time.
"Cousin! After the defeat in Hainan, my cousin didn't want to look for you. My cousin and aunt died early, and you don't have any brothers. You didn't even marry a wife. I don't care about you, who cares about you. As soon as my legs and feet can get to the ground, I will I went to inquire about you, and the people who escaped back were so scared that no one could care about you. It’s a shame that my legs and feet are so inconvenient, otherwise I would chase you all the way to Lingao to find you." Han Changle said Six Points True Four We took a break, but while talking, I shed tears. Lu Dagang had no relatives alive, so he joined the army when he was young. Whether in the Ming army or in Lingao, he was fed and housed collectively. Rarely enjoy family affection. Now I met a relative who was a cousin for a moment, and what he said was so emotional that I couldn't help but be moved to tears.
The two talked about the past and couldn't help feeling sad. Lu Dagang asked about Han Changle's current livelihood. Han Changle did not dare to tell the truth and only said that he was working as a nursing home for a wealthy family.
Not long after, the dishes were served. Two cold dishes to go with wine: boiled peanuts, cold jellyfish, drizzled with sesame oil. Two more hot dishes were served, one was the famous Australian dish: scrambled eggs with tomatoes, the other was stir-fried pork, and finally there was a pot of steaming fish stew in the middle. Lu Dagang had work tomorrow, so he only needed a few taels of rice wine to drive away the humidity at night.
The waiter also specially served two bottles of iced kombucha, saying it was a tribute.
The two of them were eating and talking, and Han Changle secretly looked at Lu Dagang. After not seeing each other for a few years, Lu Dagang has become much stronger, with a more energetic look between his brows. He wears a cowhide belt around his waist, making his body look straight and neat. There is a leather case hanging on the belt, with a shiny black handle exposed inside, which is the "wheel-turning gun" commonly used by Australians. Han Changle pointed to Lu Dagang's waist and asked: "He even has such military weapons. It seems that my cousin is very important in the Song Dynasty."
Han Changle's words really touched Lu Dagang's itch, and he replied with satisfaction: "It's not a big deal. Most of the cadres from Hainan are equipped with it - the territory of the Ming Dynasty is in chaos. I don't know who is not open to it." He came out to fight against the Senate, and after leaving, he is a master who comes and goes in Gaoli, and a bullet can teach him whether to come back or not." He patted the gun on his waist.
Han Changle sighed and said, "Cousin, you are blessed with great fortune. At first, you thought you might not be able to save your life. Now that you have joined the Song Dynasty and become an official of the Song Dynasty, you have returned home in glory."
