Chen Ye came to the Criminal Department to report the next day, as usual, looking at the previous case files on the side, familiar with the process and rules and regulations of the Autumn Trial Division of the Criminal Department, and some skills in judging corpses.

"Ma Shilang, there was a murder case on East Street last night, you go and take a look"

A government official ran over and said breathlessly, looking at Wang Shang and Chen Ye.

Ma Shang thought about asking Chen Ye not to go the next day, but Chen Ye refused to accept him, since he worked, there was no difference between the first day and the second day.

Ma Shang and Chen Ye hurriedly walked to the scene, and found that there were many onlookers at the scene, some of the scenes had been destroyed, and the corpses had traces of movement, which was more troublesome.

"Tell me about yesterday," Wang Shang looked at the crowd around him.

An aunt said: "Widow Pan, it seems that she had a quarrel with someone yesterday, and the quarrel was very fierce, and after the quarrel, it was gone. ”

An uncle said: "This Pan widow water-based poplar, and then ......"

"I heard that Widow Pan had an adulterous affair with a butcher on the street"

"No, it's an adulterous affair with a poor scholar on East Street"

Looking at their gossiping, Chen Ye also knew that nothing could happen?

Chen Ye quietly observed carefully, and found that Widow Pan's stomach was slightly raised, and there seemed to be something in her hand.

Outside of the first time, Chen Ye had no other favorable evidence, and he was trampled on the spot.

Ma Shang also found signs of Widow Pan's pregnancy and could not conduct an autopsy on the spot, so he brought it back to the Yamen for processing.

The others saw the body carried away and dispersed in a hurry. After Widow Pan's body was carried to the yamen, Chen Ye wiped Widow Pan's belly, as well as the secret parts, the body was still a little warm, and the body was still a little soft, it should have died on the second watch.

"I roughly guessed that Widow Pan should have had sex before she died, why didn't she see the cause of death? If it was a homicide, there should have been strangulation marks or knife wounds, none of which. If you commit suicide, why do you hold the corner of your clothes in your hand? It's a tough case."

Ma Shang frowned when he saw Chen Ye, and comforted: "There are more cases like this, but it just hurts this widow and the child with a poor belly."

Men should now be sent out to the streets to arrest poor scholars and butchers to see if they are afraid to abscond.

"Yes, I'll let people go right away" Wang Shang ordered the people below to go and send two people to question. After a while, the official came to say that he had discovered that the butcher had just woken up from drinking yesterday, and the scholar had actually set up the throne of Widow Pan.

When Marchand heard this, he knew that there was a breakthrough in this case.

Ma Shang and Chen Ye asked the butcher and the scholar respectively.

"Butcher, what did you do yesterday?"

"I went drinking"

"Who are you drinking with?"

After the butcher of "Friend Wang Er" returned, Wang Shang sent someone to summon Wang Er.

Chen Ye interrogated the scholar: "Scholar, what did you do yesterday, why did you set up the spiritual position of Widow Pan?" ”

"I have known her since childhood, and then she got married, and I never married, but I didn't expect her to die." After speaking, the scholar whimpered and cried.

"Do you know that she is still pregnant" Chen Ye's words directly hit the scholar's weakness, and he couldn't stop crying.

Chen Ye was a little distressed when he saw it, the lovers were not together after all, but this was a homicide case, and it was not allowed to be sloppy. It is still necessary to interrogate carefully.

Marchand's side has already shouted to Wang Er. Wang Er stood aside in a regular manner.

"Wang Er, when did you drink with the butcher yesterday?"

"Late at night, I can't remember. I just woke up on East Street this morning."

"Did the butcher keep drinking with you yesterday?"

"yes, we'll go back separately after we've drunk too much."

Ma Shang looked at the question and asked without a breakthrough, Chen Ye asked the scholar here, but he didn't expect the scholar to cry except for crying.

"Do you have an affair with Widow Pan?"

"We all abide by etiquette, and I have already sent someone to be a matchmaker for Widow Pan, and I am ready to get married in the next year," the scholar said.

"So what did you do yesterday?"

"I was unwell yesterday, I fell asleep all day and never woke up"

Chen Ye felt that there was no breakthrough, so they simply interrogated them together to see if there was a breakthrough, and waited for Chen Ye to bring the scholar to Ma Shang's side.

The butcher actually got into a fight with the scholar, tearing and beating while calling the other party a murderer.

Marchand ordered people to pull away quickly.

"My lord, the scholar had an affair with Widow Pan, and he killed him."

"My lord, the butcher has already occupied Widow Pan, and he killed the person?"

Watching them quarrel, Chen Ye knew in his heart that someone must have committed the crime.

"Whose baby is in Widow Pan's womb?" After Chen Ye finished speaking, the two of them stopped talking.

Chen Ye thought it was interesting, but no one dared to admit it, and he shirked that it was not his own.

Chen Ye wanted to ask the butcher, "Butcher, were you unconscious after drinking yesterday?" ”

"Right"

"How much did you drink?"

"I can't remember"

"Is the wine good?"

"Delicious"

"Did you kill a pig after drinking yesterday?"

"Nope"

"Didn't you say you couldn't remember?" Chen Ye was shocked, and the butcher's steamed bun broke out in a cold sweat.

"The villain remembers it now?"

Chen Ye comforted the butcher not to be nervous, and suddenly asked: "I also went out to drink yesterday, but the moon was quite bright yesterday, and I walked back, are you the same as me?"

"Yes, yes, like an adult"

"You're lying"

Chen Ye's tone changed: "Yesterday was obviously cloudy, how can you see the moon, and Widow Pan has a piece of pork, did you bring it?" ”

"The villain was wronged, I drank too much yesterday, and now I think about it as a cloudy day, I didn't see the pig widow yesterday, and I didn't go to send her pork"

Chen Ye squatted down next to the butcher, dropped a piece of cloth, and the butcher directly picked it up to wipe his sweat. Chen Ye said casually: "Yesterday the moon was very round."

The butcher trembled with fright, and said tremblingly: "The little one is really confused, there should have been a moon yesterday, and it is still very round."

"Presumptuous, what you are holding in your hand is Widow Pan's handkerchief, you are very skilled in using it, say, why did you kill Widow Pan" Chen Ye was shocked, and directly signaled the officials to prepare for the punishment.

"I drank that day and didn't go to Widow Pan's house"

"Dare to quibble"

"Widow Pan has a corner of her clothes, which is full of lard, the same as the one on your handkerchief now, butcher, don't you dream at night that their mother and son are looking for your life?"

"I ......" The butcher was speechless, and the butcher wanted to explain, but then stopped and explained why he wanted to be a widow Pan.

The butcher took a fancy to the beauty of Widow Pan, and Widow Pan's life was also hard, so he simply became a butcher, but he didn't expect that he was pregnant, and when he saw his scholar, his favorite person proposed to him, and he was happy in his heart.

The butcher drank wine to find Widow Pan, but he didn't expect Widow Pan to disagree, and he wanted to beat the child in his belly, the butcher went back angrily and killed a pig, and he couldn't get angry, so he came back to find Widow Pan's theory, and the two quarreled, and the butcher pushed Widow Pan and hit the back of the head, and Widow Pan was killed directly.

Pity this scholar, I still can't get it after missing it for a lifetime, I can only say that I love the wrong person.

This murder case was solved in half a day, Wang Shang was a little stunned, this kind of case may drag on for ten days and half a month, after all, the widow has no external injuries, this world has not done anything yet, this industry, so many cases cannot be solved, and now after Chen Ye came, he solved the case for half a day.

saw that Chen Ye's methods of solving the case were very sophisticated, and his thinking was tight and organized, not like a novice who had just come into contact.

This case will be closed in the afternoon, the butcher confessed all in the court, explaining what he did, this case is more classic, the back of the widow's head is indeed a little sunken, Chen Ye didn't pay attention, and hit it by mistake. Directly regard this case as a classic case of the Criminal Department.

Chen Ye's resolute and resolute style of solving cases is deeply rooted in the hearts of his colleagues and nearby people, and the record of solving a murder case in just half a day is unprecedented in Zhongshan Kingdom.

Chen Ye doesn't think it's anything, he just feels that fate is impermanent, this widow Pan is not a good person, since she has fornicated with others, she has to watch the scholar, delay the life of others in vain, I don't know what will happen to this scholar in the future, it is estimated that it will be difficult to rise again in this life, but unfortunately, I have read half a lifetime of books, I have been poor all my life, and my love is not human.

After doing it for a long time, Chen Ye's stomach was a little hungry, so he simply went home to have a meal, slept beautifully after eating, and went to the mansion in the afternoon, thinking that there should be nothing to do today.
