The stationed police officer stood there obediently and was scolded by Quan Quan - Quan Quan was qualified to scold him. Quan Quan had done police work in the old time and space. If his ambitions hadn't been for intelligence and the navy, he would have been in the police a long time ago.
He has gained a high-level position in the headquarters, at least no lower than Mu Min.
The police headquarters has formulated detailed work procedures and service manuals for the naturalized police officers. Many things have been simplified and tried to be as easy to understand as possible. However, if you go to the "Police Cabinet" and take a look, you will find that the service level of the stationed police officers can only be used.
To describe it, it's a complete mess. In contrast, the professional quality of the police in several police stations is much better. It seems that it is easier to get things on track only if there are senior leaders to guide them.
Now there is a local soldier available for dispatch, who is much better than the clueless policeman. He is now allowed to lead the way to inquire about the news.
An Xi had already obtained a confession from the "adulterer" in the county jail - but according to Ma Jia's suggestion and in accordance with modern legal concepts, it was appropriate to call him "suspect" instead.
As for "***" - renamed "the client" - Ma Jiazheng temporarily sent her to the county prison for "protective detention" - he was deeply afraid that something would happen and the man's clan would arrest, rape and put her in a pig cage.
Such tricks will cause things to get serious.
Now Xu Li came to personally collect evidence of adultery between the two people. After some discussions, the investigators of the Law Society found that the case was a bit difficult to solve. They checked the relevant provisions of the Ming Law and the Da Gao, and found that the problem of adultery, the Ming Law
The stipulation is that unless the person is "captured" on the spot and everyone gets the stolen goods, otherwise it is "not captured by the adulterer", which means that the government will not care if it is just based on hearsay or after the fact.
Even if they are caught on the spot, the adulterer and the adulterer will only be punished with "ninety sticks", and the adulterous woman "will marry her husband and sell her, if her husband wishes to keep her, then listen." The only restriction is that she is not allowed to marry and sell her husband to her adulterer.
From this point of view, the actual enforcement of the crime of adultery by the Ming Dynasty Law is not very strong, and it can even be said to be very light. The so-called "severe" is just that the law exempts the husband from the crime of "killing immediately". And killing him afterwards
Adulterers and wives must still be held legally accountable.
"I think this legal thought is quite advanced." An Xi commented, "It emphasizes evidence."
"Advanced is advanced, but our case will be difficult to solve." Xu Xu thought, this way, according to the Ming Dynasty law, this "adulterer" will have nothing to do. The sailors failed to "catch the adulterer in bed", but they just "caught him in bed".
"Rumor", to put it bluntly, there is no evidence, and according to the Ming Dynasty Law, it is the result of "don't comment". This is not in line with the original tone of "sabotaging military marriages" that they set.
"It's okay, he admitted it." Because An Xi personally talked to the "suspect" and the "client", the two admitted that they had indeed committed adultery and had been secretly communicating with each other for about three or four months.
"Of course oral confessions are good. But we need to create a legal concept that emphasizes both circumstantial evidence and physical evidence." Ma Jia said, "The legal philosophy of ancient society is to emphasize oral confessions, so that torture and torture are used.
, this habit has continued into later generations. Our idea is that we need evidence as well as oral confessions."
The modern "zero confession" case handling method is not feasible in this time and space - the Time Travel Group simply does not have the technology and professional capabilities. Advanced concepts must have an advanced foundation. However, physical evidence and circumstantial evidence represent the advanced nature after all.
Direction is more convincing to the people than oral confessions, and Ma Jia hopes to convey this concept through this case.
Xu was led by Fu Fu and went to the suspect's home first. The suspect and the sailor both lived in the East Village of Meiyang Village. Both families were from Shegong people in Fujian. However, the suspect's family arrived early, and ten
I settled here a few years ago.
"I heard that the old man from his family came very early and worked as a laborer in the village. He died a few years ago. He left three sons behind. This man had two brothers, and his mother should still be alive." Fu Fubian
Lead the way and talk about the family's situation.
The roads in the East Village have been paved with gravel, and the streets in the village are also very clean, but the overall quality is obviously not as good as that in the West Village where immigrants live. Xu Xu thought, it would be strange if there would be no conflict between the natives and immigrants! He thought and asked casually
:
"What about the sailor family?"
"He's also from Fujian Shegeng, a laborer..."
Li Xing listened and recorded it in his mind. But he also found it a bit incredible, because according to the interrogation record, the suspect was a young man of 13 years old, and the "client" was nearly forty years old. Although because he had been in Dongmen City in the past two years,
She worked as a saleswoman and had no worries about food and clothing. She was not an old woman in appearance, but she was still a middle-aged woman by the standards of the time. The soldier said that this woman had given birth to three or four children. From the photos in the case file, there was nothing attractive at all.
According to the otakus, "it's impossible to get hard at all." If An Xi hadn't gone to take the confession in person, both of them would have admitted that it was indeed the case. Xu Li even thought that it was probably her jealous husband who was making random suspicions.
Xu Xu asked: "He is a young man, how could he have such a passionate fight with this half-old woman?"
Fu Fuguan laughed twice: "Chief, we have always had more men than women here. The Shegeng people who came from the mainland were originally poor, and most of them did not have wives; and without money, it is harder to get a wife than to go to heaven -
―”
When he was a domestic servant, Fu Buer often used Fu Xi, Fu Yue and Fu Yijin as bargaining chips to encourage them to work hard - the difficulty of getting a wife was a major problem in the states and counties of Hainan in the Ming Dynasty.
"That's right." Xu Xu nodded. This makes sense.
As they walked along, they were followed by a group of children and idle people. Everyone heard that the chief was going to "trial a case" - this kind of adultery case was always a popular case among the people, and everyone wanted to watch the excitement.
The two of them walked all the way to the end of the village. Fu Fu pointed to two houses, which were common farmhouses here. They had bamboo and wooden roof trusses, bamboo strips walls covered with yellow mud, and roofs covered with straw.
But poverty also has levels: the straw on a roof has turned black and weeds have grown, the yellow mud is cracked, and rotten bamboo strips are exposed in many places. In some places, there are simply holes. The door is
The house was plaited with reeds and was half open. The room was dark, and I could smell a stench before I even got close. In terms of the level of dilapidation, it was probably not an exaggeration to say that it was the poorest in the village.
The other one is much better. The straw is new from this summer's rice harvest and is still golden. The yellow mud walls are smeared with white lime and are neatly repaired. The door is made of wood and is closed now with a lock.
There is also a wooden sign with the words "Military Family" nailed on his head.
Without Fu Fu's explanation, Xu Xu knew who the two families were. He looked around and saw a pile of wood not far away - probably for which family was preparing to build a house, and it had been dried. He walked to
He sat down on the log and asked Fu Fu to call all the family members of the two families in the village, as well as neighbors and friends.
"Chief, you want to review the case."
"No, this is not a trial, it's a matter of understanding the situation." Xu Xu said, "The trial has to go to court."
"You want to question the criminal, but why don't you call it a trial?"
"This is not a prisoner, it is circumstantial evidence." Xu Xu patiently explained the difference and gave the soldier some legal education. He thought that in the future, legal education activities should also be carried out in the army.
Fu Ful nodded repeatedly: "I will find someone for you right now."
The idlers in the village heard that the chief was going to "trial the case", and many people came to watch the excitement. It was very noisy. Even the stationed policeman and Fu Bu'er heard the news and came to maintain order. Xu Li didn't care about this.
, starting with the suspect’s mother who was the first to arrive at the scene.
The suspect's mother spoke Hokkien. Fortunately, Fu Fu had been dealing with the Shegeng people since he was a child and knew the dialect, so he temporarily acted as a translator and took notes.
Xu Xu took a look at the woman in front of him. At first glance, she looked old enough to be sixty or seventy years old, but upon closer inspection, she didn't seem that old.
The woman knelt down when she saw Xu Xu, Xu Xu waved his hand: "Stand up and speak."
"A civilian woman doesn't dare." She probably knew that her son had committed a crime and was disgraced, so the woman didn't dare to raise her head.
"Stand up and talk, we don't like this."
Fu Fu also helped: "Stand up when the chief tells you to stand up. This is an Australian rule."
Xu Xu waited for her to stand up and asked a few personal questions, and then he realized that she was not yet fifty, but her hair was already gray, her face was full of wrinkles, and she was very old. The dress she was wearing was made of local dyed blue homespun cloth——
This kind of homespun cloth is very strong and thick enough for copper coins, but the clothes on her body are already patched with patches. In some places, the blue color has faded away, revealing the whitish body of the cloth, which shows how old the clothes are.
Xu Xu asked about the adultery between the suspect and the client, and the woman did not hold back. She told everything in detail and admitted that it was indeed the case:
It started because the client found a job as a female waiter in Dongmen City, which provided all-inclusive accommodation and food, and her husband was in the military, so there was no one to take care of the family.
"... She was afraid that both her husband and wife had left the house and there would be no one to take care of the vegetable garden, so she entrusted us, mother and son, to take care of it. My son helped her plant the garden every day and carried the vegetables to the market to sell. After the money was earned, he and she shared half of it.
.For ten days and a half, I still have to go to Dongmen City to send money and food to her..."
In this process of sending money and food, the relationship between the two people gradually warmed up.
"... She saw that my family was poor, so she often came to my house to seduce my son under the guise of giving money to my mother and son. Our two families are from the same hometown and have been neighbors for many years. If I knew that she had such thoughts, I would definitely not accept her
Money!" The more the woman spoke, the angrier she became, as if her son was a good boy, but he was seduced by a vixen.
"You have three sons, how come your life is so miserable?" Xu Xu felt strange. If there were three strong laborers in the family, according to the current wage level of domestic helpers, even if they did not work in the factory or on the construction site, they would just be carried in the countryside.
The living income would not make life so miserable.
