Section 218 On-site Investigation

The stationed policeman stood there obediently and was scolded by Permission - Permission was qualified to scold him, and he had done police work in the old time and space. If it weren't for his ambition to be intelligence and the navy, he would have been in a high-ranking position in the police headquarters a long time ago, at least no lower than Mu Min.

The police headquarters has drawn up detailed work procedures and handling manuals for the naturalized civilian police, and many things have been simplified to make them as easy to understand as possible, but when you look at the "police cabinet," the level of work done by the police stationed in the police can only be described as a mess. In contrast, the quality of police operations in several police stations is much better. It seems that it is still necessary to have a veteran to carry out things to be easy to get on the right track.

Now there is a local soldier to be sent, much better than this policeman who doesn't know anything. At the moment, I will take care of him and lead the way to inquire about the news.

An Xi had already asked for a confession from "jiānfu" in the county jail - but according to Ma Jia's proposal, it was appropriate to change the name to "suspect" according to modern legal concepts.

As for the "yín woman" -- renamed "party" -- Ma Jia took care of her and temporarily sent her to the county jail to "protect her and detain her" -- he was afraid that some of the man's clan would come up with a trick such as catching a jiān and sinking a pig cage, and then the matter would be a big problem.

Now it is permissible to collect evidence of the two of them in person. After some discussion, the case handlers of the Law Society found that the case was still a bit bad. They inquired about the relevant provisions of the Da Ming Law and the Great Decree, and found that the Tong Jiān problem was that unless the Da Ming Law was "taken from Jiān" on the spot and everyone had stolen goods, it was "not captured by Jiān", that is, it was only based on rumors or after the fact, and the government did not care about it.

Even if it is taken on the spot, it is only a jiān husband and a woman who are "ninety rods", and a jiān woman "marries and sells from her husband, and her husband is willing to stay, listen." "It's just that it's forbidden to marry and sell a jiān husband.

From this point of view, the actual enforcement of the Da Ming Law on the crime of Tong Jiān is not large, and it can even be said that it is very slight. The so-called "severity" is nothing more than the fact that the law exempts Benfu from the crime of "killing on the spot". Moreover, the murder of Jiān husband and Jiān woman after the fact is still subject to legal responsibility.

"I think this legal thinking is quite advanced." An Xi commented, "Heavy evidence. ”

"Advanced is advanced, but our case is difficult." Xu thought, this time, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, this "jiān husband" will have no. The sailors failed to "catch jiān in bed", but it was just a "rumor", to put it bluntly, there was no evidence, and according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, it was the result of "don't talk about it". This is not in tune with the original tone of "sabotaging military marriages" that they set for haode.

"It's okay, he admitted." An Xi went to talk to the "suspect" and the "party" in person, and the two admitted that they did have a relationship with Jiān, and they had been secretly back and forth for about three or four months.

"Of course the confession is good. However, we must create a legal concept that emphasizes not only confessions, but also circumstantial evidence and physical evidence. Ma Jia said, "The legal concept of ancient society is to emphasize confessions, so there will be severe torture and torture, and this habit has continued to later generations. Our thinking is that we need both confessions and evidence. ”

Engaging in a modern set of "zero confession" case handling will not work in this time and space -- the Crossing Group simply does not have the same jishu and professional ability. An advanced concept must have an advanced foundation. However, after all, physical evidence and circumstantial evidence represent the direction of advanced Xìng, which is more convincing to the people than confessions, and Ma Jia hopes to convey this concept through this case.

The permission was taken by Fu Fu and he went to the suspect's house first. The suspect and the sailor both lived in the East Village of Meiyang Village, and both families were from Fujian Province. However, the suspect's family came early and settled here more than ten years ago.

"I heard that the old man of his family came very early, carried work in the village, and died a few years ago. He left three sons. This man had two brothers, and his mother should still be alive. Fu Fubian led the way in front and talked about the family's situation.

The roads in the eastern village have been paved with gravel and the streets in the village are clean, but the overall level is obviously not as good as that of the western village, where immigrants live. I think it's strange that the natives and immigrants don't have contradictions! He thought about it, and casually asked:

"What about the sailors' family?"

"It is also a Fujian shè cultivator, a ...... who carries the living"

Permission to listen and memorize in your head. I think it's a bit incredible, because according to the interrogation records, the suspect is a ten-year-old young man, and the "client" is nearly forty years old. Although she was not very old because she had worked as a saleswoman in East Mén City for the past two years, she was also a half-old woman by the standards of the time. The soldier had said that the nv had three or four more children. Judging by the photos of the case file, there is nothing attractive at all. According to the otaku, "it can't be hard at all". If it weren't for An Xi's personal confession, both of them admitted that it was true, and they even felt that it was probably the jealous husband who was suspicious of Hu Luàn.

"He's a young man, how could he have a hot fight with this half-old woman?" ”

Fu Fugan laughed twice: "Chief, we have always had more men and fewer NVs here. The shè cultivators who came from the mainland were originally poor, and most of them did not bring wives; I don't have any money, and it's harder to marry a wife than to ascend to heaven—"

When he was a small family servant, Fu Buer often used Fu Xi, Fu Yue, and Fu Yijin as bargaining chips to motivate them to work hard -- the difficulty of marrying a wife was the main problem in the Hainan prefectures and counties of the Ming Dynasty.

"That's right." Permission nodded. That makes sense.

As they went, they were already followed by a group of children and idlers who had nothing to do. Everyone heard that the chief was going to "try the case" -- this kind of case has always been a case that the common people like to see, and everyone wants to see it lively.

The two of them walked all the way to the end of the village. Fu Fu pointed to two houses, two of which are common farmhouses here, bamboo and wooden roof trusses, bamboo strips with yellow mud on the walls, and straw on the roofs.

But there are also levels of poverty: the straw on one roof has turned black, weeds have grown, the yellow mud has cracked, and in many places there are rotten bamboo strips, and in some places there are simply broken dòng, mén made of reeds. Half-open, the room was dark, and before I got closer, I smelled a foul smell. In terms of the level of dilapidation, it is probably not an exaggeration to say that the poorest in the whole village.

The other one is much better, the straw is the new grass of this year's summer harvest, and it is still golden. The yellow mud walls are smeared with white lime and are neatly repaired. The mén was made of wood, now closed, with a lock hanging from it. Mén also has a wooden sign with the words "military family" nailed to his head.

You don't need Fu Fu to explain, you can know who these two are. He looked around, and there was a pile of lumber not far away—about the one that the family was going to use to build a house, and it had been dried. He walked over to the timber and sat down, and asked Fu Fu to call the family members and neighbors and friends of the two families in the village.

"Chief, you're going to try the case."

"No, it's not a trial, it's an understanding of the situation." "The case has to go to court." ”

"You want to ask questions about criminals, is it not called a trial?"

"This is not a prisoner, it is circumstantial evidence." Xu patiently explained the differences, gave the soldier a little bit of law popularization, and thought that he should also engage in law popularization activities in the army in the future.

Fu Fu nodded again and again: "I'll find someone for you." ”

The idlers in the village heard that the chief was going to "try the case", and many people came to watch the excitement at once. There was a lot of noise. Even the police stationed in the station and Fu Buji rushed to maintain order when they heard the news. Permission doesn't care about these.,Start with the mother of the suspect who arrived first.。

The suspect's mother spoke Hokkien dialect, but fortunately, Fu Fu had been playing jiāo with shè cultivators since he was a child and knew dialects, so he temporarily acted as a translator and took notes by the way.

Xu Xu looked at the woman in front of him, at first glance, this person looked like she was sixty or seventy years old, but on closer inspection, it did not seem to be so old.

When the woman saw the permission, she knelt down, and the permission waved her hand: "Stand up and speak." ”

"The women don't dare." Probably knowing that his son had committed a crime, the woman's face was disgraceful, and the woman did not dare to raise her head.

"Stand up and speak, we don't like this."

Fu Fu also helped on the side: "The chief told you to stand up, this is the rule in Australia." ”

When she stood up and casually asked a few personal questions, she realized that she was not yet fifty, but her hair was gray, her face was wrinkled, and she was old. The dress she wore was a local dyed blue cloth - this kind of homespun cloth was very strong enough to be thick enough for copper coins, but the clothes on her body were already patched with patches, and in some places the blue sè had been receded, revealing a whitish cloth body, which shows how old the dress was.

Xu asked about the matter between the suspect and the person concerned, and the woman did not hide it, and said it all in 1510, admitting that there was indeed such a thing:

It started because the person concerned found a job as an NV guy in East Mén City, and he had all-inclusive food and housing, and the husband of the family became a soldier, so the family became unattended.

“…… She was afraid that her husband and wife would leave home, and there would be no one to take care of the house and vegetable garden, so she entrusted our mother and son to take care of it. My child helps her plant the garden every day, and sells the vegetables she receives at the market. For ten days and a half, I have to go to East Mén City to send money and food to her......"

In the process of sending money and food in this way, the relationship between the two people slowly warmed up.

“…… She saw that my family was poor, and under the pretext of giving alms, my mother and son often came to my house and seduced my son. Our two families are fellow villagers and have been neighbors for many years, if I knew that she had such a mind, I would definitely not accept her money! The more the woman spoke, the more angry she became, looking like "the son is good, but he is all seduced by the fox jīng".

"You have three sons, why are you living so badly?" Xu Xu felt strange, if there were three strong laborers in the family, according to the current wage level of the helper, even if he did not enter the factory and did not work on the construction site, even if he carried work in the countryside, he would not have such a miserable life.
