"We were both frightened at that time. We searched the whole room several times but could not find Bao'er. Then my father also learned the news. He was also anxious and immediately ordered people to help search for him."
"Da...Wudi and his wife are also here. But no matter how we look, Bao'er can't be found. He seems to have disappeared out of thin air."
"Why didn't you report it to the official in time? What if a thief broke into the house and stole the child? Didn't you report it to the official so late to give them time to escape?" Kong Fang asked.
Kong Yiji glanced at him and quietly gave a thumbs up.
He asked the crux of the matter.
Wushuang squeaked for a while.
He dare not say that the Wu family has never trusted the Qinghe County government. When Zhu Dachang had something to do, he took away a lot of the Wu family's money.
"It's not like thieves broke into the house. We checked the doors and windows. Everything is fine. There's not even a sign of being broken into."
Disappearance in a secret room?
Kong Fang's eyes widened. Is such a bizarre case really happening in the world?
What about filming a TV series?
He rubbed his temples gently to keep himself awake.
"Until yesterday, the nanny accidentally discovered that Wu Di's child looked exactly like Bao'er, so she quietly told my wife. So our couple asked our father to make the decision for us, but Wu Di and Jiang refused to admit it. , we have been quarreling..."
Kong Fang asked him to stop first.
"Wudi, what do you have to say?"
Mrs. Jiang suddenly shouted that she was wronged, "Sir, we are wronged. This child is obviously the golden son of my family. The second child and his family insist that he is their treasure. Please make the decision for us!"
Why don’t you really regard me as a cadre?
Do I want you to speak?
Palm mouth!
A yamen servant went up and drew his bow from left to right, making two crisp sounds of "papa". There was a commotion among the people eating melons in the hall. Kong Fang clapped the gavel and the hall fell silent for an instant.
now it's right.
I have a temper!
"Your Majesty, this child is obviously my Jin'er, how could it be Bao'er? The second child must have lost his own child and got mad, so he recognized the child randomly."
Wu Di didn't even dare to fart after his wife was slapped, but kept saying that the child was his.
"I didn't lose my mind. I didn't admit it wrong. He is my baby!" Mrs. Lin screamed loudly, regardless of whether she would be slapped.
Kong Fang’s head hurts, women are so difficult to deal with.
He waved his hand, and the Yamen servant slapped Lin twice. There was no commotion in the hall, but became quiet. People who eat melons are not stupid. They are still young, have bad tempers, and are impulsive. It is better to keep their mouths shut.
"The second child said that Jin'er is exactly the same as his Bao'er, which is not surprising. Babies who are just ten days old have not yet grown, so they are almost the same. Besides, Jin'er and Bao'er are cousins, so it is not surprising that they look alike."
What Wu Di said was reasonable and well-founded.
But his words reminded Kong Fang. He motioned to Kong Yiji to pick up the baby.
"You all say the child is yours, even your old man can't identify it."
"Okay, let me ask you mothers, children are the flesh that falls from your body. It's impossible that you can't tell the characteristics of your children, right?"
When Lin was about to speak, Kong Fang stopped her.
"Slow down. For the sake of fairness, write down the child's most obvious characteristics on paper and then give it to the old... officer for verification."
Kong Yiji settled the baby and gave them to Jiang and Lin respectively with paper and pen. Mrs. Jiang and Ms. Lin took over the paper and pen. Ms. Lin started writing without even thinking about it. Ms. Jiang started to write after thinking for a while.
After a while, they all finished writing and put down their pens. Kong Yiji picked up the two pieces of paper and handed them to Kong Fang. Kong Fang looked at Lin's first. She wrote that Bao'er had a cyan birthmark on his left buttocks.
Kong Fang opened the swaddle and checked, and sure enough, the baby had a blue birthmark on the left buttocks. He breathed a sigh of relief. The missing secret room was just a house thief.
But when he saw the characteristics written by Jiang, he was stunned. Because the characteristic she wrote about was that the baby had a cyan birthmark on the left buttocks.
Kong Yiji also scratched his head. The master's method was ineffective and could not solve the case. Should we hold the case first and send someone to investigate before trying it again?
Kong Fang thought of the monkey. Damn it, Chunyu Tower didn't give me any information. Didn't I agree that I would know about any disturbances in Qinghe's territory?
He began to doubt the monkey's ability to work.
The monkey had no idea that his master was doubting his ability, so he was conscientiously building the Chunyu Tower he wanted according to Kong Fang's design.
The work was complex and complicated, and the most important thing was that it was the first time for Miss Houhou to get on the sedan chair, and she didn’t have any experience to draw from, so he was completely crossing the river by feeling the stones.
For more than ten days, just recruiting and screening personnel had made him dizzy, and Chunyu Tower had not started operation at all.
Monkeys can't rely on others, they can only rely on themselves.
Kong Fang tried to calm down. There was only one child, so one of them must be lying.
He suddenly had an idea and said: "Since you all say that the child is yours and you won't give in, then I will make it happen for you."
The Wu family in the hall looked puzzled. How should this case be judged?
How can adults help them?
People who eat melons are also surprised that one child, two sets of parents, and adults can support two families.
Kong Fang turned a blind eye to their doubts and slapped the crowd in surprise, "Listen to the verdict!"
There was silence in the hall. Everyone stretched their necks to wait for the verdict. Everyone was curious about how this case would be judged.
"Today, county residents Wu and his wife sued the Wu and his wife for stealing their baby, but they could not produce conclusive evidence that the baby was the baby..."
The faces of Wusong and his wife changed drastically, and they were extremely sad and angry; while Wusong and his wife showed smiles on their faces. The county magistrate said that the second son's family had no evidence, and Bao'er would definitely sentence him.
But they soon stopped laughing.
"The Wudi couple said that the baby was theirs, but they could not provide any evidence to prove that the baby was Jin'er. Therefore, I have pronounced a verdict that in order to show fairness, the Wudi couple and the Wudi couple will each have half of the baby..."
"Ba"
Kong Yiji dropped the pen in his hand. He stared at Kong Fang dumbfounded, with thoughts running through his mind. I heard that the master is mentally ill, and he is indeed very ill.
After a short period of silence, the hall suddenly broke out into noise, with some swearing and some ridiculing... In short, the hall was noisy and chaotic like a vegetable market. Kong Fang did not stop them this time and allowed them to make noise.
The Wu family was stunned.
What case is this being judged on? Can the child be half as much as one person? He is a living person, not a tree or a piece of grass. How can they take away half of it?
Kong Fang asked Kong Yiji to come over again, and after giving these instructions, Kong Yiji quickly left.
After he left and returned, Kong Fang slapped the wooden door again to suppress the noise in the hall, and then announced a chilling verdict:
The baby will be cut in half with a guillotine, half for Wu's family and half for Wu's family. It is fair and reasonable, and children and old men are not deceived.
The verdict was handed down, and the audience was in an uproar.
