Zhenjiang Prefecture Wuxian County, in May, spring and summer alternate, flowers are in full bloom, it is a good situation.
In the past few years, the world has been stable, the people are living a good life, and there are many people shopping in the county. Near noon, it is the best time of the day for business. The bustling crowds, chatter and laughter, set off Wuxian County is becoming more and more prosperous.
Suddenly, the crowd dispersed like waves, and a group of people were seen hurriedly running towards a medical center. The two leading people shouted: "Make way, make way! People are dying, make way!" "
Is there any fun to watch? The dispersed crowd followed this group of people, and many people around who had just had lunch also joined in.
The doctors at the medical center received the news in advance. Just outside the gate, several apprentices pushed aside the crowd to make way for an open space.
After a while, a pale-faced woman was placed on a bamboo mat outside the hospital.
After a while, there was a shrill cry outside the hospital, mixed with some sighs.
A bystander who came late asked curiously: "What's going on?"
Another enthusiastic onlooker replied: "Hey, have you seen that woman? She said she went to the river to wash clothes in the morning, and accidentally He slipped and fell into the water. He was already dead when he was found. He was rushed to the hospital, but the doctor couldn't do anything. No, the doctor just said he was dead. "
" Oh, he looks at his age. Not big, what a pity. "
" Yes, those are her family members who are crying? "
" It seems that they are crying so hard, it seems that they are in a good relationship, how pitiful. At this time, people from the yamen also came over, including a head catcher and two yamen servants. They walked around the body and asked the villagers who followed the body. They wanted to close the case as "accidentally falling into the water and drowning."
At this time, the head catcher saw a familiar face among the people watching, and hurriedly walked over to say hello: "Sir, what a coincidence?"
That was a middle-aged man in his early fifties, with some white hair, but his eyes were He is bright and straight, and there are two people behind him who are obviously together. At first glance, they are either rich or noble.
A middle-aged man named Liu was the father of Liu Shou, the Minister of Justice of the dynasty. He smiled and said, "I came here to take a look, and I just happened to see the excitement."
He had a very head-hunting attitude towards the father of his boss's boss's boss. He was respectful and said a few nice words.
A yamen servant behind him suddenly remembered that when he received Father Liu, he heard that Father Liu had always been known as an expert in solving crimes, so he joked: "My boss has always had an eye for lightning, why don't you go take a look." Corpse? "
Father Liu went out to relax, and he was not a crime-solving madman like his son Liu Shou, so he raised his hand and declined.
The sad elderly woman next to him suddenly said: "Isn't this the boss of the government? He... how can he look at my wife's body?"
Huh? Father Liu narrowed his eyes, changed the subject, and said with a smile: "You're already here, I'll just take a look, take a look."
The old woman wanted to say something else, but she glared at him, and the man behind her also pulled. He pulled her clothes and then remained silent.
Dad Liu first asked about the case. The story of the head arrest was similar to that of the people who were watching just now. They said that this woman, Yang, had been married to the Wang family for four or five years and had no children. This morning, the villagers went to the river to wash clothes. Suddenly they heard a cry and saw Ms. Yang falling into the water. They rushed to rescue her, but Ms. Yang seemed to be too panicked after falling into the water. She stretched out her palms, but nothing happened. Unable to grasp the stick stretched out. While she was in a hurry, her husband Wang Er ran over and jumped into the water regardless of the danger, and fished Yang out.
At this time, Ms. Yang had lost her voice. The villagers hurriedly carried her to the county hospital, but it was too late.
The results of the post-mortem examination also proved that Yang indeed died of drowning. In addition, some people saw Yang falling into the water, so they thought it was an ordinary case of accidentally falling into the water and drowning.
While listening to the arrester's words, Father Liu stared at the family members of the deceased. After the arrester finished speaking, Father Liu walked to the body and squatted down to take a look.
Father Liu first opened the mouth of the corpse, then looked sideways at the nose of the corpse, and then reached out to touch the hands of the corpse...
The husband of the woman next to him, Wang Er, suddenly became violent and pushed him away. The yamen servant in front of him was about to push Father Liu, but he was stopped in time by the quick-sighted head catcher. But Wang Er didn't stop and shouted: "You're a bastard! I'm not a good person! Big guy, look at this, it's not an investigation, it's clearly taking advantage of my wife! He, he touched me first My wife took off her shoes and reached under her clothes to touch her. Just now, I wanted to touch my wife’s face. Master, you must seek justice!”
The old woman next to me also yelled: “The thief.” ! Old people don’t understand! You still behave so evilly in public, I will fight with you!"
With the addition of an old man, the three members of Wang Er’s family were scolding and wanted to tear each other up. .
The people who were watching also saw the "operation" of Mr. Liu. This spiritual old man was indeed looking at, touching, and taking off the deceased, and desecrated the deceased. For a while, many people pointed and pointed, and the crowd was excited.
The three members of Wang Er's family became more confident when they saw that the people were all on their side. They couldn't tear Father Liu apart, so they just cried loudly on the ground. The old woman even started rolling around, saying that her daughter-in-law would never die in peace.
The head catcher was embarrassed. He wanted to speak for Father Liu, but seeing it with his own eyes, he really couldn't find any excuse.
In order to avoid causing an incident, the policeman approached Mr. Liu and wanted to persuade him to leave first. Even if he had some hidden secrets, he should go back to the Yamen first, so as not to talk about it and bring bad reputation to the old man.
Dad Liu shook his head and said: "Please calm down everyone first, I will naturally give you an explanation."
The head catcher calmed down, the boss's boss's boss's dad said so, even if something happened , there is also a big boss supporting him, he can still take the opportunity to please, what is there to be afraid of? He immediately shouted: "Shut up! Anyone who dares to make any noise again will be punished for interfering with the handling of the case. They will be taken to the Yamen and given thirty pieces of ban for everyone!"
The majesty of the official shocked the whole audience, including the family of three on the ground, who also shut up. Mouthed.
The scene became a little quiet, and Father Liu said loudly: "Captain Yang, I would like to ask you, what are the characteristics of people who drowned?"
This is necessary knowledge for investigating the case. The captor immediately responded: "There are six symptoms. "One's abdomen was as bloated as a ball, another's lips were blue and purple, a third's whole body was white and swollen, a fourth's facial features had water stains overflowing, a fifth's body had goosebumps, and a sixth's hair stood on end,"
Dad Liu said with a smile. : "Yes, yes, Capt. Yang is indeed a master in solving cases. So many problem elements have been revealed at the first glance. A person like Capt. Yang will definitely scare Xiaoxiao. I will definitely praise Capt. Yang in front of Guixian County. "
This is what Yang Baotou said, with a smile on his face. Most of the people watching knew that people who drowned had so many characteristics for the first time. They didn't bother to scold "old people for not cultivating" for the time being, and they all wanted to memorize the knowledge quickly. Click, and wait to show off your knowledge in front of others later.
There were also quick-thinking people standing in the front row, stretching their necks to see if the corpse met the above characteristics.
Capt. Yang would not have thought this unexpectedly. He glanced at the body and said hesitantly: "I just checked the body, and it does meet the characteristics mentioned just now. The belly is bloated, the lips are blue, the skin is white, and the seven orifices have The water flows out..."
Father Liu nodded: "Yes, but there are still a few small doubts. As everyone said, Yang drowned in the river? "
I wonder how deep the river is? Li Zheng, who had brought the corpse, stepped forward and replied: "There is a small river next to our village. It is usually only half a person deep. You can go down and stand. But there was a heavy rain two days ago, and the river water rose a lot. It is about six or seven feet high." high.If Yang calms down, she can tiptoe to the bottom of the river and wait until Wang Er saves her. Alas..."
Father Liu said: "That's right, I've been here for a few days and I haven't heard anything about the county seat. If there was a big river nearby, I guessed it was an ordinary country stream. Such rivers are usually not too deep. If Yang falls into the water, she will definitely struggle desperately. If the river is not deep enough, she will still hit the river even if she cannot stand. At the end of the day, let's take a look, is Yang's body a little... too clean now? Not to mention there is no mud from the river bottom on your clothes, there is not even a little bit of mud on your fingers and shoes?
Even if Yang happened to not touch the bottom of the river during her struggle, she would definitely stir up the water flow and stir up the sediment on the bottom of the river, and some of the sediment from inhaling the river water would remain in her mouth and nose... But I just checked and didn't see a grain of sand or a speck of mud.
There are some aquatic plants in small rivers, and Yang’s fingernails did not see any traces of aquatic plants. Could it be that after Yang fell into the water, she didn't struggle at all and allowed herself to drown? "
If you speak with facts, the people who are watching will stop making trouble. The tone of the scene gradually changes. Everyone has life experience. In the small rivers and streams in the countryside, when you jump into the water to swim, it is inevitable that your body and face will be affected. There will be sand or water plants on it. There is nothing on this female body. Is there really something hidden?
"Huh..." After convincing the onlookers, Mr. Liu ordered the government officials to turn Yang's body over. , and then lifted up Yang's clothes.
When he heard that Yang's clothes were about to be taken off, Wang Er's family jumped up again and tried to stop him. They rushed forward while crying.
"Oh my God, look. Just look at it, it’s God’s law that people should be tortured even after they die! "
" Everyone, help me comment. My wife just died and her body is still cold. How could she be so humiliated! "
But this time, not only did the government officials pull out their knives to stop them, but few of the people supported them. People were all staring at the field, wanting to see what Father Liu had to say. If it was true. He died unjustly, so people also want Father Liu to find out the cause of Yang's death and clear away the grievances of the deceased!
The head catcher lifted up the clothes on Yang's back, revealing a large light red patch, which was drowning. Looking at the unique corpse spots formed in the cold river water, and then taking off the clothes, you can see the obvious light red corpse spots on the armpits and the crooks of the legs.
Father Liu pointed at it and said: "People died. There will be corpse spots afterwards, and the appearance of corpse spots is due to the coagulation and accumulation of blood. Therefore, when performing an autopsy, the posture of the deceased before death will be judged based on the traces of corpse spots. "
" Yes, that's right, this is common sense in autopsy. "Some "knowledgeable people" were able to spread the word to the people around them.
Father Liu continued: "The deceased now has large areas of corpse spots on her back, armpits and legs, indicating that her body was moved after her death. Long-term stress on these parts leads to the appearance of such abnormal corpse spots.
Wang Er hurriedly shouted: "My wife drowned and the villagers helped her to get her here for treatment. What's wrong with carrying the body on the road?" "
"So the deceased was brought to the hospital immediately after being fished out? Are there any stops along the way? Did you do anything to the corpse? "
Faced with the series of questions, Wang Er hesitated: "No...no..."
Dad Liu sneered: "That's strange! Whenever someone dies from drowning, there will be a lot of red or white foam around the mouth and nose, but Yang's mouth and nose only had some water stains, which means that the foam in the mouth and nose was cleaned after the death of the deceased. If you say nothing was done to the body, then what? Who dares to carefully wipe the mouth and nose of the deceased in front of the villagers? "
Seeing Wang Er gaping, Father Liu took a step forward, stared at Wang Er, and pointed at the women's shoes that he had just taken off: "Not only the mouth and nose, but these shoes have also been processed! There was a lot of mud from the river on the soles of the shoes, as if the deceased had walked to the river in the shoes, but the old man wiped off the mud on one of the shoes. It was obvious that compared to other parts, the wear on the tip of the shoe was extremely serious, almost worn out. draw! Could it be that when Yang walks, he always raises his heels and only lands on his toes?
In my opinion, Yang did not die in the river, but was thrown into the well and the well mouth was sealed. No matter how she struggled and tried to climb the wall of the well, until the toes of her shoes were polished, no one could Rescue, drown alive! After she died, the murderer pulled her out of the well and threw her into the river when no one was paying attention, making it look like she accidentally fell into the water and died!
Capt. Yang, please send someone to this guy’s home. He wants to ensure that the body enters the water soon after death. If you move in a hurry, there must be some traces in the well of his home. If you go and check now, you should find something. "
The head catcher promised loudly, and sent officials to the county government first to mobilize manpower.
But the people watching no longer needed any evidence. They only needed to look at the three people who were rolling around like crazy just now, but now they were paralyzed on the ground, with faces as white as Ashen and silent, he knew that Father Liu's reasoning must have hit the mark!
A scene emerged in people's minds: a woman walked to the well to draw water, and suddenly, her husband came from behind. He rushed up and pushed the woman into the well, then moved the stones that had been prepared and blocked the well mouth tightly.
The woman stepped on the wall of the well desperately, trying to climb up. However, she was blocked by the stone at the mouth of the well. She screamed and wailed, but no one responded.
As time passed, the sounds in the well gradually subsided. The man boldly moved the stone away and saw that the woman had changed. When it was a corpse, he fished it out, carefully cleaned its mouth and nose, and then dragged it to the river while no one was paying attention. After smearing a layer of soil under his feet, he pushed it hard and the body fell into the water. The whole scene of killing people and moving corpses.
If the government officials hadn't stopped them, Wang Er's family would have been beaten to death by the angry people on the spot.
A few days later, the county government announced that Yang was indeed killed by Wang Eryi. The reason is that Yang married into the Wang family for several years but never had any children. Wang Er's parents were extremely dissatisfied with the Yang family. They beat and scolded the Yang family on weekdays and even went to the Yang family to ask for the return of the bride price, but the Yang family had long since After taking the bride price to build a house, he refused to agree to the Wang family's divorce. The relationship between the two families was bad and they broke off contact.
Yang's life became more and more difficult. Finally, one day, the resentment accumulated to the extreme and gave rise to this incident. Tragedy...
The truth came out. Wang Er's family committed murder and was sentenced to be beheading. Now, they no longer need to worry about "the incense is cut off"...
