Chapter 42 The decisive victory thousands of miles away
Yin Jian arranged for people to go over and ask Huishu to explain his purpose. Huishu said: "This case was done by an acquaintance. Just ask the daughter of the deceased and you will know."
The person who went there brought this message back to Yin Jian. Yin Jian wrote this message in a reply and took it back to Zaoyang County Magistrate Wu Shicheng.
The county magistrate read the reply and was overjoyed to know how the case was solved.
He ordered Qu Sile to be interrogated.
"Qu Sile, tell me, who are you with?" the county magistrate asked.
"Sir, my daughter is not married yet and lives with her parents," Qu Sile replied.
"No, what I'm asking is, which man are you hanging out with at night?" the county magistrate continued to ask.
After hearing this, Qu Sile's face turned red, he lowered his head and said nothing.
"Oh, since you have done it, don't be afraid to say it. If you don't want others to know, you have to do it yourself. If you have the courage, why don't you have the courage to say it?" Wu Shicheng asked.
"Master, the young lady and the scholar have made love." After Qu Sile finished speaking, he lowered his head again.
"Which scholar?" Wu Shicheng continued to ask.
"That's the scholar who passed the new examination, his name is Yao Mingyuan." Qu Sile said, and then recounted the story of his relationship with Yao Xiucai.
"The scholar in Xinzhong is so arrogant. Come and invite Yao Mingyuan for questioning." Wu Shicheng ordered.
After a while, Yao Mingyuan was taken away.
When Yao Mingyuan saw the battle in the county government hall, he felt weak and his legs felt weak. He was about to kneel when he suddenly thought that a scholar did not have to kneel to the county magistrate, so he stopped squatting and immediately returned to normal.
"Yao Ming has seen the master from far away!" Yao Ming said far away.
"Yao Mingyuan, you are a talented scholar, how did you do it? You actually hooked up with a civilian girl and got into such a big trouble. There is a murder case. If you don't bring it true, I'm afraid you will have to bear serious consequences. I won't embarrass you.
Just tell the truth, so as not to hurt your skin." Wu Shicheng said.
"Master, I don't understand what I mean," Yao Ming said.
"Don't pretend to be confused. I'm asking you if you know Qu Sile?" Wu Shicheng asked.
"We know each other, what's wrong?"
"Her parents were killed," Magistrate Wu said.
"What does her parents' murder have to do with being born late?"
"Do you and Qu Sile want to fly away? Because Qu Sile's parents asked for a bride price, you held a grudge and killed them if you didn't want to pay them?" Wu Shicheng asked.
"Sir, Wansheng would never do this. After being introduced by the matchmaker, Wansheng knew that there was a woman named Qu Sile who wanted to date Wansheng, and knew that the woman was attracted to Wansheng. However, Wansheng didn't want to date her, so he rejected the matchmaker and asked
To say there is a relationship means that there is such a relationship. Wansheng and the woman have never met, let alone have a separate tryst, there is no theory that her parents asked Wansheng for a bride price, and there is no theory that Wansheng and she have an ambiguous relationship.
Please check it out, sir." Yao Mingyuan said.
"Be brave, is there any evidence for what you said? If there is no evidence, you are the biggest suspect. Look, there are many torture instruments in the lobby. Do you want to have a taste?" Wu Shicheng asked.
"Master, in order to study to be sensible, to be sensible you must be reasonable. Don't threaten young students with severe punishment. If you use torture to extract a confession, it is easy to be beaten. Even if the confession says what the master likes to hear, it may not be able to solve the case. Handle the case.
We still need to talk about facts and evidence, rather than making decisions based on personal preferences." Yao Ming said.
"It's not your turn to teach me a lesson. Come on, go, call the matchmaker for verification. If you are found to be lying, watch your skin carefully!" Wu Shicheng said.
Wu Shicheng knew where the key to the investigation lay. With Yin Jian's guidance, he suddenly understood that the current interrogation had only one purpose, which was to make the case more clear.
After a while, the matchmaker was brought.
"Is the person kneeling down a matchmaker?" Magistrate Wu asked.
"It's me."
"Whose last name is it?"
"Xiao Yan," the matchmaker said.
"Who is at home?" Magistrate Wu asked.
"I have a wife and a son," the matchmaker replied.
"Where is your husband?"
"died."
"What do you do for a living?"
"Make a living as a matchmaker."
"When did your husband die?"
"Has been dead for sixteen years."
"Have your children seen him?"
"No, I was still pregnant when my husband died. My son has never seen his father since he was born," the matchmaker said.
"Xiao Yan, I want to ask you, how did you introduce Qu Sile to Yao Mingyuan?"
"At a conference to celebrate talents, I saw Qu Sile buying thread. Her eyes revealed her hope for talents. When I saw it, I took the initiative to ask her if she was interested in talents. She acquiesced.
I took the initiative to set up a matchmaking process and wanted Qu Sile to marry the rising talent Yao Mingyuan," Xiao Yan said.
"What happened next?"
"Later, the rookie didn't want to, so I went home. Later, Qu Sile's mother came to find me and told me that she wanted to find a good family for Qu Sile. I agreed, and what happened next
, I don’t know.” Xiao Yan replied.
"That's it!" Magistrate Wu said.
"At that time, when Qu Sile's mother came to see you, did anyone hear what she said?" Magistrate Wu asked.
"No."
"Is there anyone else at home?"
"Yes, my unsatisfactory son is at home."
"sleeping at home."
"How old is your son?"
"Sixteen years old."
"Sixteen is the right age to work, so why are you sleeping at home?"
"It's all my fault that I don't know how to teach my children."
"why would you say so?"
"My husband died early, and the responsibility for educating the children rests entirely on me. My children have been pampered since childhood, and they have lived a life of having to put their hands on clothes and food to open their mouths. They eat well and are lazy. If they don't have money, they come to me for help. They eat, drink, whore, gamble and smoke outside, and do all kinds of evil. I can't discipline them."
"My son sleeps during the day and goes out to play cards at night. If he doesn't have any money, he asks me for help, which makes me miserable," said Xiao Yan.
"What's your son's name?" Magistrate Wu asked.
"His name is Xiao Xinyan." the matchmaker replied.
"Okay, you go down." Magistrate Wu ordered. He knew clearly that Xiao Yan was not a criminal. She had no motive, no time, and no energy to commit the crime. The biggest suspects were Yao Mingyuan and Xiao Xinyan.
One of the two must be the murderer.
"Come here, catch Xiao Xinyan." Magistrate Wu threw out the warrant, and the policeman quickly took it and went to catch him.
It took a little long this time.
Finally he was caught, and the police officer quickly said: "Xiao Xinyan resisted arrest and ran for a long time before he was caught. He was gambling in the casino. He didn't want to go with us, so he ran away. Fortunately, we surrounded the casino. There were so many people that it was difficult to catch him, and we were afraid.
I accidentally injured a good man and let Xiao Xinyan run away. Later, we split up to chase him and caught him in a ruined temple."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Who is kneeling?" Magistrate Wu asked.
"Xiao Xinyan."
"Do you know why I arrested you?"
"I don't know. Is gambling illegal?" Xiao Xinyan asked.
"Don't talk nonsense! I want to ask you, do you know Qu Sile?"
"Which Qu Sile? I don't know it!"
"That's the woman next to you. I'm asking you again, do you know Qu Sile?"
"I don't know!" Xiao Xinyan replied, decisively and simply, without any sloppiness.
"Qu Sile, do you know Xiao Xinyan?" Magistrate Wu asked.
"Master Qi, I don't know Xiao Xinyan. However, the voice is very familiar." Qu Sile said.
"sound?"
"Yes, the voice is very familiar." Qu Sile said.
"Okay, scribe, record what you just said." Magistrate Wu ordered.
"Qu Sile, I want to ask you, you have an affair with a scholar, do you remember if there are any special marks on the scholar's body?" Magistrate Wu asked.
Hearing this, Qu Sile's face turned red again, and she whispered: "Yes!"
The sound was very low, like a mosquito flying. Magistrate Wu heard it and asked quickly: "Is there any special mark?"
"Yes, yes, there is a scar on the left arm, a bit like a birthmark. It was bitten by the little girl, so there should be a scar." Qu Sile said.
"Okay, come here." Magistrate Wu ordered, "Check out Yao Mingyuan's left arm."
After the officer agreed, he stepped forward and pulled Yao Mingyuan's left sleeve open. He found that his left arm was smooth and white without any marks.
The Yamen servant reported the verification situation to Wu County Magistrate, and the clerk recorded it.
"Okay, let's identify Xiao Xinyan's left arm." Magistrate Wu ordered.
At this time, Xiao Xinyan became nervous, and beads of sweat as big as soybeans rolled down her forehead.
My body was already covered in sweat.
The yamen officer stepped forward and rolled up the sleeve of Xiao Xinyan's left arm to his shoulder. He saw that there was indeed a scar on his left arm, which looked like a birthmark, and there were thin tooth marks, and there were scabs on the skin. It was obvious that he had been injured.
It's a scab from a bite.
The yamen servant reported the verification in detail. Magistrate Wu ordered the clerk to record it carefully, and then asked Xiao Xinyan to sign and stamp it. Xiao Xinyan didn't go to school for a few days because he was naughty and couldn't go to school, so he couldn't write his name.
Just add a little ink, and then bring out a little tail, like a tadpole.
Magistrate Wu shouted: "The culprit has been identified. Someone is here to tie up the culprit Xiao Xinyan, beat him with forty pieces of wood, and throw him into death row!" After that, he threw out a red lottery ticket.
The yamen officer received the red lottery, knocked Xiao Xinyan to the ground, and hit him with a big board, making Xiao Xinyan howl like a ghost. He had never been beaten since he was a child, and one beating actually killed him!
The others signed pictures and left the court after adjournment. Yao Mingyuan was innocent and returned home happily.
Qu Sile went back and buried his parents with the help of other relatives. Feeling that he had no shame in living here, he sold the old house, took his gold and silver, and settled with distant relatives.
After the case was over, Magistrate Wu reported the case to the court, and after review and approval by Dali Temple, Xiao Xinyan Lingchi was executed.
A strange case occurred in the capital and was reported to Yin Jian. After Yin Jian took over the case, he had no idea what to do.
The case is a bit complicated, I don’t know who the suspect is, and there is no strong evidence.
To put it simply, one day, a wealthy family in Beijing was robbed. All the valuables in the home were looted. A team of professional moving mules and horses almost came to clean the wealthy family’s home. The wealthy family had worked hard to save the money that they had saved for generations.
The family property was destroyed by the hands of the thieves. The house was as empty as a field, and the house was almost moved away. The scene was empty and people were panicked. Fortunately, no one was injured.
There was a booklet left at the scene. I wonder who forgot it? Normal reasoning suggests that the thief must have been in a panic when he left and accidentally left the booklet behind.
Of course, the wealthy people knew the writing. When they opened the book, it looked like a true confession record. All the records in it were the private affairs of wealthy young men in the capital.
Once this material is exposed, it will definitely make the headlines across the country. It is all outrageous information and dry information. There is no water in it.
There is no doubt that this was not left by robbers. The rich man lost a lot of treasures, but he found this book as if he had found a treasure. These robbers still lack caution and are careless. Isn't this leaving clues in vain for the officers and soldiers to catch?
?
The rich man immediately went to report to the official and handed in this booklet.
The Sheriff of the capital is named Chao Chao.
He immediately started investigating the case.
However, after thinking about it, he found that the problem is not that simple. The simpler it is, the more complicated it will be. People say that the greatest way is simplicity, which may require understanding to understand.
According to the records in the book, he found that there were thirty rich young men in the capital. These rich young men had recorded clearly what time and place they met, what they had done, and how much money they had spent. It was like a professional writer.
The story is written by the person who wrote the script. The plots of these stories are ups and downs and exciting. You can't wait to read them in one breath, but you can't do it. These rosters are like confessions. The misdeeds of thirty wealthy young men are recorded in detail, as well as some ulterior motives.
Once this booklet is made public, it will have a huge impact on the young masters, and it will have an even greater impact on the family where the young master lives. This is the biggest worry for the young master’s family, and when it is mentioned, it gives me a headache, because
Kuo Shao's influence has surpassed that of his parents.
The dynasty issued an order to arrest thirty wealthy young men in the capital.
For a time, it caused a sensation in the whole capital. Even the emperor heard about the case and was paying attention to it. However, the case was not solved and it took time to continue the investigation.
Based on the complete list of behavior records recorded in the book, the Dynasty went to the young masters to verify them one by one. Most of the young masters admitted to the behaviors recorded in the book, such as prostitution and prostitution. Of course, there were also some things, such as drinking, partying, causing trouble, and kicking over garbage facilities.
, burning public property, graffiti on the walls, drunkenly cursing innocent passers-by on the road, and making indecent moves towards some decent women, etc. These details are all revealed in the booklet without any discrepancies.
However, this is not the key to this case.
What the rich are most concerned about is that their property has been stolen. Recovering these properties is the most critical thing that needs to be done first. However, no matter how they are interrogated, the rich young men have different answers and inconsistent descriptions, which makes the dynasty very troubled.
.It is not clear how to proceed. Because the descriptions of the whereabouts of the property by the thirty wealthy men are inconsistent, it is confusing. The interrogation has reached a deadlock.
Chao Chao didn't know who to believe. He looked at the confession recorded by the scribe and thought about it carefully, but he just didn't know. The confession described everything except the stolen property in a comprehensive and specific manner, but it could not clearly explain the whereabouts of the property.
The people of the capital were paying attention to the progress of this case, and the dynasty was struggling in the quagmire of investigation, with nothing to do.
