"Nonsense, nonsense, do you have any evidence?" Qian Hu asked in a trembling voice.
"Framing for murder is a serious crime, He Qizhou, you have to think clearly." Qin Fengcai said with a sinister smile.
"Yes, framing someone for murder is a serious crime. Lord Magistrate, please be careful when the time comes." Qi Zhou wanted to imitate Qin Fengcai's sinister smile, but unfortunately he couldn't imitate it. Instead, he seemed to make a face: "Sir, I'll prove it to you.
Look, Lin Chuan, when you stand up, you know how you kicked me at that time. You kick me with the same intensity and method as that day."
"Okay," Lin Chuan easily broke away from the government officer's hand on his shoulder, stood up and kicked Qi Zhou into the sky.
He Qizhou fell to the ground in response. After getting up, he asked the gangsters and Liu Lin if it was the case that day. Everyone agreed, and Lin Yan also confirmed that it was the case.
Qi Zhou asked Wuzuo again: "Mr. Wuzuo, could I ask if the injury on the chest of the deceased was caused by the ribs at the heart being broken straight inward?"
"Yes, the periphery of the wound is round and there are no sharp wounds. It should be caused by a hard kick with the heel." Wu replied.
"However, everyone has just seen that Lin Chuan's kick came from bottom to top. If the ribs were broken, they should be broken diagonally from bottom to top and inward, rather than straightly from above! Moreover, the deceased's ribs should be broken diagonally inward from bottom to top.
There is a shallow bruise two inches below the left breast, that should be the mark left by Lin Chuan's kick!"
"Could it be that the fracture was originally broken diagonally upward, but after a night of activity and bumping on the trolley, the fracture became aggravated and ended up in this state?" Qin Fengcai was stunned for a moment and then immediately defended.
Qi Zhou laughed angrily and said: "Qin Dazhuang is really great, this can make you happy. But who can imagine that a person with a broken heart, mouth and bones can drink alcohol all night as if nothing has happened and not feel anything."
?”
"Perhaps the kick numbed him, and then he was drunk without realizing it. Everyone is different, so how can you prove that it was Qian Hu who did it?" Qin Fengcai still refused to give up.
"Sir, please push the body of the deceased here. The truth will be self-evident." Qi Zhou said.
Shangluo also felt ominous at this time and remained silent. Zhang Luyao on the side said: "I want to see what other secrets there are. Mr. Shang, human life is at stake, so we must make it clear."
Upon hearing this, Shangluo had no choice but to ask someone to push the body to the lobby.
Qi Zhou pointed out the bruises mentioned earlier on the body, then asked someone to turn the body over and said: "Look, everyone, this car has three panels. There are two gaps one finger wide between the three panels. Qian Ermao is lying on it."
In the middle, the back just presses against these two gaps. However, the mark one finger wide on the back of the left chest is extremely obvious, and the center of the back is like the inscription of a seal, while the back of the right chest is aligned with the gap.
It’s just a very shallow mark…”
"So what?" Shangluo asked.
"This just shows that Qian Ermao was kicked in the heart on this cart!" Qi Zhou said while looking at Qin Fengcai: "If you think about it carefully, what excuse can you find? Let me continue. Qian Ermao
Before death, only these two people were around, and they had confirmed it before. But after death, the body gradually stiffened, and it was no longer possible to cause such marks, so they had no intention of bringing it upon themselves. It could only be one of the two of them.
It was done by one person. Qian Hu's kick was actually very good. He didn't completely break the bones, but he was able to kill them just right. He must have studied martial arts, but it was a pity that he had to imitate kicking him in the sky on a cart.
But my feet are as hard as climbing to the sky."
"My lord, you are wronged! You are wronged!" Qian Hu was dripping with cold sweat and trembling.
"Then how do you conclude that Qian Hu did it?" Shangluo continued to ask.
"Haha, even a fool can see that Wu Qiang is as tall as an ox, and Qian Hu is similar in shape to Lin Chuan. You only need to compare their heels against the wound of the corpse and you will know."
"My lord, I'm sorry..." After Qian Hu shouted, he elbowed Wu Qiang away from him, and used his strength to sweep back. Before he could finish the fourth word, he had already exited the lobby and reached the patio. A kite turned over,
Just as he was about to climb out of the wall, he saw a plain knife with sheath stabbed into Qian Hu's waist and eyes just as he was trying to breathe. Qian Hu fell to the bluestone slab of the patio with a thud. It turned out that he was guarding the door.
Chen Captou had already taken precautions and defeated the enemy with one move. Chen Captou kicked him in the abdomen again, dragged the money tiger into the lobby like a dead fish, and threw it heavily on the ground.
"Capture the murderer quickly!" Shangluo, who was deeply surprised, shouted to the government officials in the hall.
"Sir, I remember that when Qian Hu was peeing in the alley, I turned around and walked a few steps out of the alley because I felt dirty. I heard a muffled grunt. It must be this dog thief who committed the crime." Wu Qiang immediately shouted loudly.
.
"Wu Qiang, you! I was ordered by someone, my lord, it's..." Qian Hu took a breath and was about to explain, when Wu Qiang, a tall man, suddenly kicked Qian Hu in the head.
Because Wu Qiang and Qian Hu were very close, Qian Hu was about to die when he saw a pair of hand shackles suddenly appeared in front of Qian Hu. Wu Qiang's calf collided firmly with Lin Chuan's hand shackles, and only a "click" was heard.
With a bang, the two-inch-thick wooden shackles were severed from the middle, and Wu Qiang fell to the ground, clutching his broken leg and passed out. The person who did it was Lin Chuan, how could Lin Chuan watch Wu Qiang murder and silence him.
"Mr. Liu, Wu Qiang is from the Qianzhuang. He must have gone to monitor Qian Hu and take a lookout. Although there are very few people on the street in the early morning, it is not appropriate for others to see him, don't you think?"
Qi Zhou glanced at Lin Chuan approvingly and said quietly to Liu Lin.
"Qian Hu, why don't you get it from the truth? If you talk nonsense, be careful and you will be severely punished!" Shangluo stood up and shouted while wiping his sweat.
"Did someone hire you to teach Heipi a lesson? Did you go too far? You have to tell the truth." Qin Fengcai intervened when he saw the opportunity.
"Qin Fengcai, how dare you confess in front of the court? Sirs, do you care?" He Qizhou couldn't believe that Qin Fengcai was so shameless, and he suddenly became anxious.
"What Mr. Qin said is not unreasonable, Qian Hu, why don't you hurry up and recruit him!" Magistrate Zhang looked at Shangluo who was at a loss and said calmly.
Qian Hu, who had already collapsed on the ground, was shocked. He thought that the money to buy the murder was really hot. Fortunately, Qin Fengcai reminded him that even if he led the Liu family out, he would not be able to escape death if he committed the murder. Besides, how could the Liu family be the same?
Can you handle it yourself?
As soon as he figured it out, he immediately had a countermeasure. He glanced at Wu Qiang, who was still in a coma, and said, "Sir, I'll do it, I'll do it all. Qian Hu, a humble citizen, received three hundred taels of silver from Wu Qiang a few days ago and said he wanted to do it."
Heipi must teach Heipi a lesson. Heipi is a villain in the countryside and has a group of brothers under his command. They have never found a chance to take action. Just the day before yesterday, when he was drunk, he kicked him. How could he know that Qian Ermao couldn't help but beat him?
He died after just one kick. He was afraid of being sued, so he didn't dare to speak out. He didn't want to injure Lin Chuan's friends. The common people knew he was guilty, but the mastermind was Wu Qiang. I hope Master Qingtian will take a clear lesson and be given a lighter sentence."
He looked at Liu Lin with a pleading expression, which of course meant that I already knew what to say, so please don’t silence me again.
"That's nonsense, sir..." He Qizhou was about to argue when suddenly a Yamen servant broke in and said he had something to report, and then stepped forward and whispered a few words in Shangluo's ear.
"It's getting late. There are a lot of strange things about this case. The trial can't be concluded for a while. Someone is here to take Qian Hu and Wu Qiang into custody and ask a doctor to treat Wu Qiang's injuries. The trial will be held in the afternoon. Mr. Zhang, what do you think?
" Shangluo said after listening to the Yamen servant's words.
"Sir, no, Liu Lin must be detained, and the criminals must be prevented from colluding with each other to confess." He Qizhou shouted.
"How dare I not know this? Chief Chen took Liu Lin to the arresting room to rest. None of the witnesses in the hall were allowed to leave the yamen. They just stayed in the hall and went to bring some benches and ask the kitchen to prepare something.
Give them food, and remember to charge each person one penny for the meal." Shangluo said decisively.
"I'm a little hungry too. Let's try again in the afternoon after eating." Zhang Luyao touched his huge belly and said. After saying that, accompanied by Shangluo, he left the county government lobby through the back side door.
He Qizhou looked helpless and muttered "dog officer" in his mouth. Lin Yan and his wife looked excited and thanked Qi Zhou. Lin Chuan was also relieved. Liu Lin had been taken away, Wu Qiang and Qian Hu were taken into custody. The gangsters kept cursing,
But they didn't dare to make a mistake in the hall. The madam and Qian seemed to be frightened by the sudden change, and they sat together and whispered. Qin Fengcai smiled bitterly to himself, thinking that if Wu Qiang and Qian Hu were bitten to death by two idiots,
Before the murder was committed, the victory or defeat may not be decided. Before the time for the incense stick was over, a government official invited He Qizhou and Qin Fengcai to the county government wing, saying that they were two adults who wanted to ask questions.
Qi Zhou followed Qin Fengcai to the side room for the second time. The round table in the middle of the side room was filled with wine and food. There were three people sitting at the table, namely Shangluo, Zhang Luyao and a gray-haired old man. The old man He Qizhou
I also know him as Liu Gang, the great housekeeper of the Liu family in Jiangjun Village. Liu Jinan's father died early and he was raised by his mother, Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu is now in her eighties and is the arrogant old lady of the Liu family. Liu Gang is a member of the Liu family.
Liu Gang's cousin has followed the Liu family for decades and won the trust of the Liu family. Since both Liu Jin'an and his son are officials outside, and the old lady is old, Liu Gang is actually the real head of the Liu family. In the past, He Qizhou and the Liu family
Liu Gang often scolded his children for making trouble.
Seeing the two people entering the wing, Zhang Luyuan pointed to the two empty seats next to her and said with a smile: "Two lawyers, please take a seat. I heard people say that Xiao Qizhou is unparalleled in intelligence. It is true. He can solve this mystery."
, it was a great achievement to discover the real murderer!"
"Exactly, this official is confused and incompetent. Fortunately, the master of the government is in charge, and He Qizhou has a sharp eye to defend the traitor, so he can see through the truth. In the afternoon, I will enforce the law impartially and give justice to Qian and Lin Chuan." Shangluo wiped.
As he said this, he didn't know whether he was wiping oil or sweat.
"The truth? Humph, you adults are all well-informed, and you can't even see such obvious loopholes? If Qian Hu hadn't confessed, and if my mother wasn't willing to sell the land, would Lin Chuan have to live three thousand miles or not?
Want to have a taste of hanging?" He Qizhou sneered.
"Xiao Qizhou, don't worry. Even if it's really Lin Chuan's fault, considering the friendship between the Liuyang and Liuyang families for so many years, I won't let that kid get sued. Now that the truth is known, I hope you can comfort the Lin family.
, I will also ask the kid from Tie Zhou to make some compensation." Liu Gang said harmoniously.
"Okay, since we are talking about the truth, let me tell you the truth. Human life is at stake. I hope you all will listen patiently." He Qizhou stood up slowly, cleared his throat, and continued: "Liu Lin brought ten
I went to Lin's house to ask for the thirty taels of silver. I spent eight taels to hire someone. I spent 40 taels to invite people to drink wine. I used 48 taels to get the thirty taels. I spent three hundred taels to pay for the murder! It's a joke, why not?
First give the Lin family 40 taels, and then ask for 30 taels back? Why is this? Just because Mr. Liu Xizhou Liu wants to buy my mother and the Lin family's land to build a tomb to please the censor! Which family is willing to live next to the tomb?
Naturally our family didn't want to move as they had only a small amount of farmland left, so Mr. Liu came up with a good plan. He found a scapegoat, Heipi. Anyway, Heipi had no relatives and no cause, and he was causing trouble in the countryside. When he died, only people would applaud him, and no one would redress his grievances.
Of course, Heipi only wanted to deliberately anger the Lin family and get a few beatings. How could he have thought that he would be killed? Of course he had to give him a benefit when he was looking for someone to do something for him. The benefit was that he found a wife for him, who was redeemed from the brothel anyway.
An old and beautiful woman doesn't have much money. Of course Juxiang, who is well-informed, cannot marry someone like Heipi. The advantage for her is that she is free. Of course, a person of her age who has this little money will certainly
She can also afford it, so more importantly, she can get a considerable sum of money in repayment. She must know that Heipi will not live long. As long as he asks her "properly", he is not afraid that she will not recruit him. Heipi has a family, so
You can ask for compensation. The compensation for manslaughter is two thousand taels. Your calculations are really accurate. It is almost exactly the price of a hundred acres of rice fields. Fortunately, my family only has a hundred acres of rice fields. Otherwise, will there be many more deaths? The Lin family has no money.
The family they can turn to is my family. Coincidentally, the only valuable land in my family is that little land. What’s even more coincidental is that only the Liu family can afford to buy so much land at once. Of course, if Heipi doesn’t die, he won’t be able to compensate.
A few dollars; Lin Chuan's crime is not serious, and my family does not need to sell land, so Heipi must die! Then Wu Qiang from Liuyin Bank spent three hundred taels to find the master Qian Hu, and of course Wu Qiang was ordered to watch Qian Hu
, after all, there hasn’t been a murder case here for many years, so there can’t be any mistakes. So when Qian Hugou jumped over the wall, Wu Qiang’s first thought was to silence him. Instigating others to commit murder may not be a capital crime, but killing a witness in court will definitely lead to death. No one will be stupid
To seek death, this shows that Wu Qiang is very loyal to the Liu family, and it also proves that he is not the mastermind. Qian Hu wants to confess not only him, but also Liu Lin, and even..."
