After Jin Shan finished speaking, the governor laughed and left with his gold, silver and jewelry satisfied.
Jin Shan sentenced this group of people to prison sentences, fines, and expelled them from Deng City. They were listed as unwelcome people and were not allowed to set foot in Deng City for the rest of their lives.
When the people in Dengcheng saw this case, they felt it was very strange. It became a good story for a while, and they admired Jin Shan's ability to solve the case even more. They felt that with Jin Shan, there would be no difficult case.
Jin Shan had very little time to rest. After finishing the Hu people's theft case, when he was about to rest, he suddenly received another report from Baozheng, saying: "A man was found suddenly dead in the jurisdiction. It was very scary. His eyes bulged outward, like
The goldfish’s eyes have expired and its heartbeat has stopped. The cause of death is unknown.”
After receiving the report, Jin Shan was surprised. It was just the Dragon Boat Festival and another life had occurred. It seemed that there had been a lot of cases recently. Could it be because of the weather?
How can we not let people live day by day? It’s really abominable! Why are there so many bad people! Why don’t they live a good life? These people really don’t take life seriously, so why would they hurt or kill a living life at will?
Jin Shan is sulking, and his anger has returned, but he still has to do things! If you want to get rid of evil, you must get rid of it. However, getting rid of evil is not that easy, and there are always problems.
If we all indulge the criminals, I'm afraid there will be more and more criminals, and they will be like leeks. They can be cut off one after another, but they can never be completely cut.
The information provided by Baozheng was very limited and the case was very simple. This made Jin Shan very embarrassed.
Baozheng said: "The deceased Lu Mao took his wife and daughter to watch the dragon boat race that day. After watching, he drank a little wine at a roadside shop and then went home to rest. Because the drink was from Lutou.
Feng Huangjiu, but after drinking it, he felt like he was walking on cotton wool. He was exhausted, so he went home and lay down to rest without saying anything. He didn't expect that the wine was so strong. This was something he had never expected.
He was in a deep sleep, almost unconscious, and still drunk. The smell of alcohol filled the room."
"How come I haven't heard of such a good wine?"
"Sir, this wine is produced in Zaoyang and not in Dengcheng. If you want to taste it, you have to go to Lutou to try it. That is the authentic one."
"So, the man named Lu Mao drank to death?" Jin Shan asked.
"It's not that simple! Sir, there are people who drink to death. However, his eyes bulge outward, as if they were squeezed out. It is very scary. Drinking will not make you so angry, and it will actually make your eyes bulge!" Baozheng!
explain.
"I understand, that means that the master died strangely, maybe he was murdered," Jin Shan said.
"Yes, sir, there is a folk saying that gambling is about to steal, rape or kill. This is probably the truth."
"It makes sense, but there is no evidence. How did the deceased Lu Mao behave in normal times?" Jin Shan asked.
"There is no problem with his performance. He is very good. He loves his family and is very good to his wife and children. He has no bad gambling habits and never gets close to other women. He is a decent man, loyal and honest. It seems that he has no enemies and no thieves visit his home."
Guaranteed.
"It means that he died of natural causes and died of drinking," Jin Shan said.
"Sir, as I said just now, the possibility of natural death cannot be ruled out. However, the evidence is insufficient and it may be homicide. Further evidence is needed." Baozheng said.
Jin Shan fell into deep thought.
He thought to himself that this must be the murder of his husband.
There is nothing wrong with the husband, but the problem must be with his wife. Lu Mao is already dead, so it is impossible to call him alive to ask what happened and who killed the person?
Jin Shan first sent people to control the suspects. Of course, Lu Mao's wife was the most suspicious and was detained pending trial.
"How is your husband's relationship with you?" Jin Shan asked.
"Master Qi, my husband and I are very affectionate and love each other. We have never blushed. We respect each other as guests and we will grow old together." Lu's wife said.
"Really? So you have always been loyal to your husband?" Jin Shan asked.
"Yes, sir! This little girl is only good to my husband. She has never thought of betraying him, nor has she had any undue thoughts about other men." Lu's wife said.
"Did your husband drink Di Feng rice wine from Lutou in Zaoyang County?" Jin Shan asked.
"Yes, sir, after watching the dragon boat race, he came back and drank some rice wine, and then he fell asleep. Who knew he actually slept to death? Oh, how can a little girl's life be so miserable!" Lu's wife said.
"Do you think there is anything wrong with the wine he drank?" Jin Shan asked.
"There's nothing wrong with drinking. The little girl also drank a little, so she's fine. Wine is good, but drinking too much may cause other diseases," Lu's wife said.
"Does your husband have any other old problems?" Jin Shan asked.
"No, I had typhoid fever when I was a child. As he said, I haven't had it since. I've always been healthy," Lu's wife said.
"That's strange! Tell me the truth, are you the murderer?" Jin Shan suddenly asked.
"No, sir, this little girl is loyal to him and has never thought of killing anyone. Master, please don't wrongly accuse a good person!" Lu's wife argued for herself.
"What a joke! I didn't say you killed anyone, I just asked you if you were a murderer?" Jin Shan asked.
"Isn't this the same thing? Master, this little girl doesn't even dare to kill a chicken, how dare she kill someone? Master, don't laugh at the little girl for being timid," Lu's wife said.
"Killing chickens is different from killing people. If you love someone, you will do everything for him, including killing people he hates, people he doesn't like to see, people he wants to get rid of quickly but dare not get rid of himself, then,
If you love to hate, hate to kill, then you won't care about your husband anymore, right?" Jin Shan asked.
"Sir, you can't say that. The little girl has always loved her husband, never half-heartedly. You can't imagine the kind of person the little girl is. If there is no evidence, what you said is just a bloody slander. The little girl would have been a long time ago.
I heard that your Excellency enforces the law like a mountain, is honest and upright, and judges cases very skillfully, and does not handle unjust cases. The little girl is innocent, so I will not let the little girl be wronged. If she is wronged, the little girl will not let you go even if she is a ghost. " Lu
The wife said angrily.
After hearing this, Jin Shan had nothing to say. He thought deeply. What she said now is not unreasonable. The case must be thoroughly investigated and there must be evidence before he can be punished. If he is punished without evidence, he may not be able to face anyone if he speaks out.
.
He sent Zuo Zuo to conduct an autopsy, and Zuo Zuo came back and reported: "There are no injuries and no symptoms of poisoning."
The deceased's room was checked again.
This was not something he did, so Jin Shan asked the police officers to go and investigate.
Sure enough, I found a clue.
What clue? I found a secret passage. This secret passage is the secret passage.
The police found that the ground in front of the deceased's bed was relatively empty, like an echo in the valley.
The policeman knew from experience that there was a problem here, so he dug it up and found a wooden board. He lifted the board and revealed a hole. Below the hole, there were steps that could lead to the bottom. He didn't know where it went. The policeman raised the
The torch went down into the cave, went down the stairs, walked to the flat ground, and continued forward for about twenty meters. After walking on the flat road, I saw another ladder. Then I went up the stairs and found that it was still a board. I pushed the board away.
There is also a bedroom above, with a similar layout, as if it was made by one person.
The mechanism is not complicated, and it is relatively rough to make. This thing seems to have been made secretly and has already been formed. He reported the situation to Jin Shan without having time to ask more questions. When Jin Shan heard about it, he felt that Lu Mao's wife was dishonest.
There is a secret tunnel in the house, but she still pretends to be innocent. This means she has a problem with her neighbors.
As for the neighbor problem, I don't know yet.
So Jin Shan went to investigate and asked about the situation of Lu Mao's neighbors.
As soon as I asked, I found out that my neighbor was Zhuang Sun.
Zhuang Sun just lost his wife at a young age. He used to live in Zhuangge Village. Because his wife died, he felt a little uncomfortable living at home. He happened to find out about the houses for sale in Lujiazhuang, a neighboring village.
He thought about it and bought a house in Lujiazhuang. Unexpectedly, as soon as he moved here, he met Lu Mao's wife when she went out to do laundry. Zhuang Sun fell in love with her.
Zhuang Sun was afraid of becoming an official.
If you don't see the officials, you will say that they are dog officials. If you see them, you will not dare to say anything. Instead, you will tremble with fear and shrink back.
"Tell me the truth, why did you dig a tunnel to your neighbor's house? What was your intention?" Jin Shan asked.
"Sir, the younger one has a dead woman. He is in his prime. He is not used to being without a woman, so he fell in love with Lu Mao's wife next door."
"Whose wife?"
"Lü Mao's."
"You still know that she is Lu Mao's wife? Since you know that she is his wife, why do you still have wild imaginations?" Jin Shan asked.
"My lord, it's all my fault that I can't control myself."
"What?" Jin Shan asked, then thought about it, understood, and said, "Then why can't you control it?"
"This is a small problem. It has been there for many years. I didn't know it until I got a wife. Only after I got a wife did I realize that life with a wife is really good. Life without a wife is worse than death." Zhuang Sun said.
"Then why don't you just find another woman to marry? Why do you want to covet your neighbor? Rabbits don't even eat grass on the edge of their nests." Jin Shan said.
"It costs money to remarry a wife, but the neighbor's family doesn't. It costs a lot to marry a wife. It's better not to spend it at all. The effect is the same. It's not as convenient as the neighbor's."
"You are so selfish. It seems that you have successfully hooked up with Lu's wife, right?"
"Sir, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. One is Zhou Yu and the other is Huang Gai. It has nothing to do with the younger one."
"Are you still making excuses? What crime should you face if you seduced a good woman and killed her to silence her?" Jin Shan asked.
"Sir, I am wronged! That Lu Mao was not killed by Xiao. I really don't dare to kill. That Lu Mao is good. Even if Xiao is not good, he will not kill anyone. I like Lu's wife. I am Xiao."
I made a mistake and shouldn't seduce her, but if I kill her husband, I will give the little one the courage to take advantage of the bear's heart and the leopard's courage. This is completely impossible. Because in a small place, everyone is kind-hearted and kind to her.
I just admire the young and beautiful woman and have no intention of possessing her. If I do, it will definitely not work because it will break the rules," Zhuang Sun said.
"Can a lecher still have any sense of restraint?"
"Thieves also have their ways! Sex can be stolen, but you must not abide by the rules. Otherwise, you will definitely be close to death. In this regard, I am very careful about propriety." Zhuang Sun said.
"So, you admit to having an affair with Lu's wife, but you don't admit to killing Lu Mao?" Jin Shan asked.
"Yes, sir, Mr. Qingtian, whoever kills will die! Young people understand this truth and will never dare to kill. It is okay to steal people, but not to kill. It is okay to steal things, but not to kill." Zhuang
Bamboo said.
"It seems that you are not ignorant of the law, but that you are out of control and deliberately challenge the bottom line of the relationship between men and women. You are still guilty," Jin Shan said.
"Sir, Mr. Qingtian, I didn't control my eyes, I saw what I shouldn't have seen, I didn't control my body, I fell into the woman's arms and couldn't extricate myself. I plead guilty and am willing to accept the punishment." Zhuang Su.
explain.
"You admitted to having an affair with Lu's wife, so you dug the secret passage, right?" Jin Shan asked.
"Yes, the little one dug it."
"How can you dig so accurately?" Jin Shan asked.
"Master Qi, it was Lu's wife who helped me. She helped me. When there was no one in her house, I went to work. Then I dug out her house first, and then disguised it. Then I came from here.
Dig side by side and meet in the middle." Zhuang Sun said.
"How long did it take to dig through it?"
"It took half a year."
"Why did it take so long?"
"They dug it when no one was around or in the dead of night. They didn't dig it openly or openly. They dug it secretly, sir!"
"That's it! Did Lu's wife help with the digging?" Jin Shan asked.
"He helped. If she hadn't helped, it might have taken more time."
"Where did the soil you dug out go?" Jin Shan asked.
"Master Qi, this soil was transported to the ravine, then grass seeds were sprinkled on the soil, and the soil was quickly covered. From the outside, it was impossible to tell that it was newly moved soil." Zhuang Sun said.
"That's it. If you do something wrong, you have to find a way to cover it up. If you commit a crime, you have to eliminate the traces of the crime. No trace will be left. It will become an unsolved case. I just don't understand what you like about Lu's wife.
?" Jin Shan asked.
"What is it about Mrs. Lu that attracts me? She is that she looks very much like my mother. Because she looks similar, I am very close to her because I have lost my mother since I was a child. I miss her so much.
When he was seven or eight years old, the younger one's mother died of typhoid fever. When the younger one saw that other friends all had their own mothers, but the younger one had no mother, he felt very envious. He made up his mind to live a happy life in the future.
Later, I had no choice but to marry a wife. Because there was no money, no one wanted to marry Xiao. However, Xiao's deceased wife did not dislike it and married Xiao. Unfortunately, she did not live a happy life for a few days and died suddenly.
My life is really miserable. Is it really my nemesis? I killed my mother when I was a child, and my wife when I was middle-aged. Is this really an arrangement of fate? Can’t people in the world control their own destiny?
I was very puzzled, why all the bad things happened to me, but not a single happy thing happened? So, I was very miserable. Later I met Lu’s wife, and I found that spring had come for me, and I had never been like this before.
The feeling of happiness. Because Wife Lu looks so much like my mother. This person can give me a sense of security and make up for my regrets. I believe that Wife Lu is the most important person in my life." Zhuang
