"Mighty~ Martial~"
As the mighty voices of the government officials sounded in the lobby, Jiang Cheng, wearing a green official robe, came with his hands behind his back, walked up to the desk and sat down.
"He's pretty good-looking."
Among the onlookers, Ye Zhuyi covered his mouth and snickered.
This Jiang Cheng has a face like a crown jade, fair skin, and clear eyes, just like a young man, but it makes people shine.
Li Xiran's transparent cheeks were slightly flushed, and she whispered: "Stop talking, let's see how he tries the case."
At this time, Zhao Guyan walked up to Jiang Cheng and said, "Sir, we are all ready. Is it time to summon the suffering master?"
"Summon." Jiang Cheng nodded.
Jiang Cheng was very satisfied with Zhao Guyan.
This person has never taken sides in the county government. He is fair, impartial, honest and reliable, and has a good reputation in Ancheng County.
However, he was nearly thirty years old and had not yet married a wife. The matchmakers who wanted to introduce women to him in Ancheng County were all over the threshold. However, Zhao Guyan never paid attention to these matchmakers and seemed not interested in getting a wife.
When Jiang Cheng thought of this, he suddenly felt an inexplicable chill. This guy couldn't be a rabbit.
"Ding! Today's case is a drowning case - elementary level."
"Difficulty: Beginner."
"Reward: 1,000 merit points, and you will have a chance to randomly obtain a skill."
Suddenly, the system's clear beep sounded.
Jiang Cheng felt happy.
This elementary case actually has a chance of acquiring a skill?
Is there such a good thing?
Will cases with higher trial difficulty get higher rewards?
I saw a group of people walking in dragging a young and frail scholar, and two government officials also carried a body covered with white cloth.
The frail scholar had a bruised nose and swollen face, his face was covered with wounds, and he looked miserable.
"Master County Magistrate, Jia Kuangsheng was greedy for my daughter's beauty and tried to take advantage of it, so he killed my daughter. We still hope that the master will make the decision for us."
An old man with a stooped figure cried and cried, with tears streaming down his face.
"It's not like this, absolutely not like this. Meiniang and I have had an affair for a long time, and we have been engaged for life. How could Xiaosheng kill him? At that time, Xiaosheng and Meiniang were dating by the lake, and she accidentally fell into the water. Drowned in the lake.”
The frail scholar hurriedly cried out his injustice and burst into tears.
There was a lot of crying in the lobby.
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he already made a decision in his heart.
In fact, Jiang Cheng discovered a hidden bug in the system.
For example, in the first case of cattle stealing, the task issued by the system was "Cow Stealing Case."
It shows that the case was indeed a cattle rustling case.
The task released by the system this time was a "drowning case", not a murder case.
It means that the woman may have fallen into the water and died.
"You are talking nonsense. How could my Mei Niang be such a shameless woman? You must have seduced my Mei Niang with sweet words, and then took the opportunity to try to belittle Mei Niang. When you couldn't succeed, you killed my Mei Niang and threw her into the lake. .”
The old man gritted his teeth and shouted angrily.
His two sons and a group of relatives glared at the scholar, wanting to peel him off and convulse him.
"It's unfair. I once sent someone to propose marriage to the Hu family. It was because the Hu family disliked my poverty and were unwilling to betroth Mei Niang to me. I have a matchmaker to testify about this. I really like Mei Niang, how could I kill Mei Niang? Where is she?" Jia Kuangsheng said with a bitter face.
"Quiet! Call the witness." Jiang Cheng patted the gavel.
A gorgeous matchmaker walked in and said, "Master Qi, this is indeed the case, but the Hu family asked for a gift of fifty taels of silver, which the Jia family simply cannot afford. However, I can see that Mei Niang is indeed right. Scholar Jia has a good impression."
"Fifty taels of bride price?"
The people watching immediately started talking.
For an ordinary family, this fifty taels of silver is an astronomical figure.
In Ancheng County, the average betrothal gift is only five or six taels of silver. If it is more, it will only be about ten taels.
A fifty-tael gift is just making things difficult.
Treat your daughter as a cash cow.
This is absolutely intolerable.
Suddenly, everyone accused Old Man Hu and his family.
Old Man Hu shouted: "That's right, but you can't kill my Mei Niang, so you can give my Mei Niang her life!"
After speaking, the old man Hu jumped up, grabbed Jia Kuangsheng's collar, and slapped Jia Kuangsheng.
Jia Kuangsheng was beaten until his mouth was bleeding and he did not dare to resist.
"Stop! You can't do this in court." Zhao Guyan shouted.
When Old Man Hu was shouted at by Zhao Guyan, he immediately didn't dare to hit anyone.
"Here comes someone! Check the body." Jiang Cheng said.
Zhao Guyan came over and whispered: "I have something to do at home today and I have already asked for leave."
"Are you asking for leave? Then let me inspect the body." Jiang Cheng said.
Jiang Cheng spent 500 merit points to change to a basic autopsy skill.
Suddenly, some information about elementary autopsy techniques poured into Jiang Cheng's mind like a tide.
In fact, Jiang Cheng doesn't need to change it, just to be more accurate.
Jiang Cheng had watched many movies and TV dramas in his previous life, and such drowning cases were not uncommon.
Jiang Cheng was seen arriving in front of the deceased.
The deceased was indeed quite pretty, and his face was pale and swollen.
According to the autopsy technique, Jiang Cheng pressed the abdomen of the deceased in full view of the public, and saw that the body vomited out a large amount of water.
Then he used a silver needle to probe into the deceased's nasal cavity and found some fine sediment.
Everyone was surprised when they saw Jiang Cheng's autopsy.
Could it be that the county magistrate can even conduct an autopsy?
Li Xiran's pretty face showed an expression of surprise.
Jiang Cheng sent the body to the room again and asked the matchmaker to undress and inspect the surface of the body.
Finally, Jiang Cheng had the answer in his heart.
I saw Jiang Cheng sitting back on the chair again, patting the gavel and saying:
"After inspection by my officer, there was a large amount of water in the abdomen of the deceased. He was not killed and dumped in the water, but struggled before death and inhaled a large amount of water. There was sediment in the mouth and nose of the deceased, which also shows that The deceased was not murdered and thrown into the lake. Because he was killed and thrown into the lake, his mouth and nose would not inhale a lot of sediment."
"In addition, after the matchmaker inspected the deceased's body, there were no external injuries on the deceased's surface, and the skin was intact. If he was killed by someone, or was drowned in the water, the deceased would have struggled before death, and there would definitely be scars or bruises on his body. Qing. In addition, the matchmaker found that the deceased’s abdomen was hard. Based on my autopsy experience, the deceased should be pregnant.”
Jiang Cheng took a sip of tea and spoke softly.
His words were well-founded and well-organized, leaving everyone stunned.
Everyone had nothing to say.
This is indeed a case of falling into the water.
No one thought that the county magistrate would actually conduct an autopsy!
This is really shocking!
"Mei Niang, I have failed you!"
Jia Kuangsheng roared, fell to his knees, lay in front of the corpse and cried loudly.
