Chapter 42 The speed of the prince is rare in the world
In the public court of the Yamen of the Criminal Department, after Zhao Yigao, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, was sitting next to him.
Under the public case, there are officials and officials standing on the left and right, and standing in the upper left corner is Song Caitang, who has just completed the autopsy.
And kneeling in the middle is the proprietress of the grocery store, and her third uncle Chen Da.
When the Xu family heard Song Caitang say that the person who died was not her husband, but the second brother Chen Guo, his expression became frightened, "Impossible, impossible, several adults, my husband is an honest and responsible person, and the three brothers are also very friendly and harmonious, how can it be possible to kill the second uncle, absconding in fear of crime, he can't kill people, he hasn't even killed chickens." ”
Zhao Yi didn't expect that the woman named Song Caitang that Li Lang found really knew how to dissect corpses, and when he watched her autopsy in the morgue just now, he only felt that this girl's skills were skilled and fast, not like a novice who had just joined the industry, but like an old driver who had been in the industry for many years.
The case of the headless corpse in the west of the city has made such great progress, thanks to her.
Of course, without King Xiang's recommendation, Song Caitang would not have been able to enter this criminal department.
His Royal Highness King Xiang, what kind of person is he to find such a god.
He first glanced at Li Lang in awe, and then slapped the wood in surprise and shouted: "You two, don't you truthfully recruit the situation of that night with this official." ”
Chen Da said: "That night, after dinner, I had been settling accounts in the study. ”
Zhao Yidao: "Can there be a witness?" ”
Chen Da shook his head helplessly: "In the middle of the night, where did the witness come from." ”
Zhao Yi nodded, noncommittal, and his eyes looked at Xu again.
Xu Shi said tremblingly: "That night, the woman cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and went to bed not long after, and she didn't know the situation in the backyard at all. After the third uncle heard the movement, he rushed outside the courtyard and woke up the women. ”
"Yes, what my sister-in-law said is right, when I was settling accounts that night, I suddenly heard a seeping shout from the backyard, and when I got up to go out to look, I saw the body of my second brother lying on the ground, and there was no one else around."
The two of them didn't know what was happening in the backyard, and it was at that time that the eldest Chen Jin killed the second Chen Guo, and also cut off the other party's head, successfully escaped from the west of the city, and his whereabouts are still unknown.
But what kind of deep hatred can make these two brothers turn against each other and cut off each other's heads.
Lord Zhao frowned and fell into deep contemplation.
Suddenly, he slapped the shocked wood again, and said to the Xu family under the case: "Did you hide your husband and prevent us from finding it?" ”
When Xu Shi heard this, he was taken aback: "How dare this woman, how dare you, my husband won't kill, ......."
Before Lord Zhao was angry, Xu began to cry.
This made it difficult for the whole case to continue to be tried.
At this moment, Li Lang suddenly asked Chen Da under the case: "When the crime happened that night, didn't your eldest brother and your second brother have any conflicts?" ”
Chen Da shook his head, "Big brother, second brother, their relationship is very good, it is impossible to have a conflict, even if there is a conflict, it is impossible to kill people, lord, my lord, will the second brother be killed by others, and my eldest brother was also captured by that gangster?" ”
Li Lang said: "Don't come to confuse the public now." ”
Chen Dadao: "Lord, I, I don't have ......"
Li Lang smiled and said, "Okay, let me ask you again, what clothes did your second brother wear that night, and what did your eldest brother wear?" ”
Chen Da thought for a while and said, "The eldest brother is wearing a brown caftan, and the second brother is also wearing a brown caftan. ”
This sentence is exactly the same color as the clothes on the deceased's body, but who would have thought that Chen Jin and Chen Guo would actually wear the same color of clothes that night, no wonder the Xu family would recognize the wrong person at the beginning.
Li Lang continued to ask: "What did you talk about with your eldest brother that night, is there anything strange about him?" ”
Chen Dadao: "That night, I talked to my eldest brother about some things about today's grocery store stocking, and I didn't notice what kind of abnormality my eldest brother had. ”
Li Lang asked: "In this case, did you have a physical collision with your eldest brother that night?" ”
Chen Da waved his hand, "Absolutely not, I have always respected my eldest brother and regarded him as my father." ”
Li Lang asked again, "What about your second brother?" What was wrong with your second brother that night? Have you ever had physical contact with him? ”
Chen Da didn't understand why Li Lang kept emphasizing physical contact, he thought for a moment before he said: "My second brother likes cleanliness and has a very serious cleanliness habit, and he generally doesn't like others to get close to him, even if it's his own brother. ”
What he said coincided with his previous confession to the government.
When Li Lang heard this, he grinned, and suddenly asked Chen Da again: "Chen Da, what you just said is true?" Is there deception? ”
Chen Da arched his hand and said: "Every sentence is true, I don't dare to deceive the prince." ”
Li Lang said: "Okay, since you confirm it, let's draw it first." ”
While speaking, a scribe had already put the trial process just recorded and what Chen Da had said in front of Chen Da and asked him to sign and draw the charge.
When Chen Da saw this, he felt that there was nothing wrong, so he stamped a red handprint on the paper.
The scribe presented the paper to Li Lang.
At this time, Li Lang said to Song Caitang in front of him: "Miss Song, present the fingerprints you collected on Chen Guo's body just now. ”
Fingerprinting?
The people in the court looked confused when they heard this, and even the waiter Zhao Yi heard it in a fog, why didn't he see Li Lang say it just now.
But Chen Da under the case had a thrill in his heart.
"Yes."
At this time, I saw Song Caitang take out a pale yellow and thin piece of paper from the forensic dissection box in his hand.
Everyone looked at it, and saw dozens of black fingerprints of different shapes printed on the paper.
Song Caitang spread out the paper and said: "Everyone, fingerprints have been used since ancient times, but what we collected when handling cases were obviously visible fingerprints, and those invisible fingerprints were difficult to extract.
Now, in the box that His Royal Highness King Xiang gave me, there is a packet of black powder, and King Xiang told me that this thing is called magnetic powder, and as long as it is sprinkled on the body of the deceased, the clothes of the deceased, those invisible fingerprints, can appear in front of us.
I used this kind of medicine powder, so that the fingerprints left by the murderer on Chen Guo's body were printed on the gourd and printed. ”
"What? What the? Is there such a thing in this world? ”
Hearing Song Caitang's words, Chen Da was like a lightning strike, and looked at Li Lang like a ghost.
The Xu family beside him didn't look very good.
Li Lang liked that others looked at him in fear like this, and he said to Song Caitang: "Very good, Miss Song, this Chen Da has already left his fingerprints on the paper just now, so you can take the paper in my hand and compare it with the yellow paper in your hand to see if it is the same?" ”
"Yes."
Song Caitang agreed, then walked up to Li Lang, took the paper that Chen Da had drawn just now, and compared it with his own yellow paper one by one.
"It's a lot of fun, and the official will compare it."
Zhao Yi, who was on the public case, walked down the case regardless of etiquette and compared his fingerprints with Song Caitang.
In less than a moment, the fingerprints of the two pieces of paper were ready.
Song Caitang said to Li Lang and Zhao Yi: "Lord Wang, my lord, the fingerprints have been corrected, if there is no mistake, the real culprit in this case will be present." ”
Zhao Yi's pupils widened at this moment, he was furious, and shouted at Chen Da: "Okay, you treacherous Diao Min, on this yellow paper, out of ten fingerprints, eight are yours, you say, how do you want to quibble!" It's not really recruited with the official! ”
"My lord, I, I ......" Chen Da really wanted to lie this time, and it was difficult to tell, his face became more and more desperate, and he gritted his teeth and said in the end: "My lord, my lord, my lord...... Villain, villain is also a lust obsession! ”
Panic took over, and Chen Da soon sold his teammate Xu.
Xu looked at Chen Da, Song Caitang, Zhao Yi, and Li Lang with a pale face, and then laughed loudly: "You useless man, if I had known that you were so cowardly, I wouldn't have committed myself to ......you in the first place."
After saying this, Xu and Chen Da began to count each other unscrupulously, as if the original vows and love had gone with the wind.
But soon, they also explained the facts of the case clearly.
It turns out that the so-called forty-year-old woman is like a tiger.
The matter of Xu and Chen Da can be summed up in those ten words: sister-in-law, please respect yourself, sister-in-law, please automatic.
It's cool for two people to cheat for a while, and it's always cool to cheat all the time.
went to the east window at the back and was discovered by the second Chen Guo.
Naturally, the two of them couldn't let Chen Guo live in this world.
That night, Xu and Chen Da first killed Chen Jin, the boss who went out of the grocery store, and threw his body into the wilderness.
Then he made a bowl of chicken soup and gave it to Chen Guo to drink.
When he was fascinated by the drug in the chicken soup, he cut off his head and pretended to be killed by Chen Da, which was also a crime by God.
It's a pity that Li Lang has the relics left by Zhou Taizu, and there is a magnetic powder that can show invisible fingerprints in the box where the corpse is dissected, so the real murderers Chen Da and Xu are entangled.
When Xu and Chen Da finished making the record, they were taken down from the court by the officials and put in prison to wait for the execution after the autumn.
"Lord Wang, in just half a day, you have solved the case that has plagued the Criminal Department for nearly a month, such a speed is rare in the world."
After leaving the court, in the dormitory of the county government of the Criminal Department, Zhao Yi, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, was really full of praise for Li Lang.
Li Lang smiled and said, "Thanks to Miss Song, I don't know anything about autopsy." ”
After the task was completed, Song Caitang had already gone back and reported to Mingyue.
Zhao Yi looked empty at this time, only Li Lang and his own house said: "Lord Wang, don't be modest, you are indeed the person I have ever seen the fastest person to solve the case." ”
"Hehe, but I don't know what's going on over there with Xuyang Hou......"
