Chapter 163: A Case Within a Case
The rebellion that suddenly broke out on Chinese New Year's Eve in Xiyang City, Bazhou Prefecture was quickly quelled, and Bazhou Assassin Shi Yuwen Wen then arranged for people to confiscate the family property of Tian Yuansheng and other masterminds, first taking out a part to make up for the people whose houses were set on fire on Chinese New Year's Eve, and the rest of the confiscation was waiting for later processing.
That night, the Lu clan, which attacked the military camp on the eastern outskirts of the city, was defeated, and the century-old nest, Bahe City, was also taken by the official army, and all the property of the Lu clan was confiscated.
All those involved in the case have been put in prison and their families are also in the custody of the government, and just when people are speculating about the final disposition of these people by the government, another matter has attracted everyone's attention.
On the morning of this day, the Bazhou Prefecture Ya, assassin Shi Yuwen Wen was in the court to try the case, the crowd of onlookers was very lively, today is not a new case but an old case that has already been judged, because the case has been heard, so Yuwen Envoy Jun opened the court again.
"I said, isn't this Tian Yilong conclusive and bound to die, why is it going to be retried again?" People who had the experience of watching the trial last time asked, that court trial can be described as ironclad evidence listing Tian Yilong's evil deeds one by one, and the people who watched at that time still remembered Yuwen's performance.
"In my opinion, it must be that the Tian clan made great efforts to assist the government to stabilize the situation during the rebellion on Chinese New Year's Eve, and this is Yuwen Envoy Jun specially retried the case for Tian Yilong's life."
The person who spoke in one place was immediately attacked by a group, and everyone said that Yuwen Envoy Jun would never waste people's lives for personal reasons, such a good official, do you talk nonsense and don't you want to live.
"Looking at your kid's eyebrows, isn't it Tian Yuanshengyu's party? Make it clear, otherwise let the official take it to Yuwen Envoy for a good trial! ”
The person who said the wrong thing was scolded so bloody, and when he saw that someone dragged him to see the official, he couldn't help but make a fuss, saying that he had little knowledge, and he should not take it seriously. Seeing the commotion outside, the state officials in the hall couldn't help but shout "silence" a few times at the top of their voices.
Bazhou Thorn Shi Yuwen Wenwen, who was sitting upright in the hall, slapped the wood in surprise and immediately began to try the case. The clerk on the side briefly recounted the ins and outs of the case and the circumstances of the recent verdict. Plaintiff Zhang Li and defendant Tian Yilong then went to court.
"The last time this official tried the case, based on various evidence, he was determined to be the mastermind of the case and put him in prison." Yuwen Wen said slowly, seeing that the onlookers in the hall were silent, they all listened attentively and began to release materials.
"The main Bo Zhengtong noticed an incident when he was sorting out the file, which led to a major breakthrough in the case!"
When the onlookers heard this, they were all wondering what kind of things and evidence had brought a new picture to the already ironclad case, and their questions were then answered: Zheng Zhubo found that the mastermind who abducted Zhang Li and imprisoned him in the villa was a left-hander, while the defendant Tian Yilong was a normal right-hander.
This is a simple but crucial piece of evidence, which directly pried open a big hole in the already ironclad case, since Tian Yilong is not left-handed, it means that there is another person who raped and adulterated Zhang Li's family.
This evidence could not prove that Tian Yilong did not plan to kidnap people, but this caused Shi Yu Wenwen to start re-examining all kinds of physical evidence and human evidence in the case, and this investigation really found out the problem again.
The important evidence to prove that Tian Yilong went to the villa where the crime occurred was the jade belt, which was indeed owned by Tian Yilong, but according to his account, it was lost in October last year. When the case was tried last time, Tian Yilong said the same, but there was no basis for what he said, so Yuwen did not accept it.
"The witness who can prove that the jade belt was lost in October has been found, bring the witness up!"
A man was brought up by the officials, the man was in his twenties, thin and thin, wearing shackles on his hands, as if he had been brought from prison, and some onlookers recognized this person and whispered: "Isn't this Wang San?" ”
"It's Wang San? I feel familiar with that! ”
"What does he do?"
"What to do? Steal! ”
When the scene calmed down, he explained the progress of the case: This is Wang San, who has unclean hands and feet on weekdays, stealing chickens and dogs for a living, and stealing a package from Tian Yilong in the city on October 3 last year, which contains this jade belt.
"After Wang San stole something, he found that the bitter master was Tian Yilong, so he was in a hurry to get rid of the thief's stolen goods, and he took these things to the pawnshop to die, so the shopkeeper Wu of the pawnshop had an impression."
A middle-aged man was brought up, he was the shopkeeper of the pawnshop, according to his confession, on October 4, this Wang San did take some valuable things to pawn, because this jade belt was good workmanship, but a piece of jade was broken, so he has always had an impression. Shopkeeper Wu said that because the price could not be negotiated that day, Wang San took back the jade belt, so he didn't know where the jade belt would go after that.
Yu Wenwen looked at Wang San in the hall and sighed with emotion, Tian Yilong was stolen, of course he didn't know who stole the package. Based on this confession, he launched a search, and there were many thieves in Xiyang City, but there were not many ways to sell the stolen goods, and pawnshops were one of them.
The pawnshop is so familiar with these people that it can't be more familiar, and it is impossible not to know the way of the valuable things that the other party takes as pawns, but no one can't get along with the money, so the pawnshop shopkeepers turn a blind eye.
He first sent someone to catch a few habitual thieves, and then asked them to confess the pawnshops that sold stolen goods on weekdays, and with witnesses, those pawnshops could not quibble, so they had to honestly listen to the government, that is, by asking the shopkeepers of various pawnshops, and finally found out that the person who stole the jade belt was Wang San.
Under Yuwenwen's drinking order, Wang San told the whereabouts of the jade belt: he couldn't take the jade belt as a good price in Wu's shopkeeper, so he took it home and thought about going to another pawnshop to try it in a few days, but before he could do it, he was caught red-handed by the owner during a theft.
Wang San said that the man also called a helper to beat him to a blue nose and swollen face, and chopped his hands, Wang San couldn't stand it, so he begged for mercy, so they took the opportunity to extort compensation, even if his family was surrounded by four walls, even if he stole things in exchange for some money, he would take it to spend all his time, where was there any remaining money.
Thankfully, there was still the jade belt that couldn't be used, he took out the jade belt as a 'compensation' and handed it to the other party, but the man also forced to ask who the original owner of the jade belt was, Wang San honestly confessed, and the other party took the jade belt away and didn't embarrass him anymore.
"Who's that guy?" Yu Wenwen asked.
"It's Lu Xiuqi, the son of Patriarch Lu of Bahe City."
The crowd of onlookers began to whisper this, and it was all obvious: Tian Yilong's jade belt was secretly transferred to Lu Xiuqi, one of the sons of the Lu clan's patriarch. Then the only and most obvious evidence that can connect Tian Yilong and Nashan Zhuang is invalid.
"With Wang San's confession. Tian Yilong's suspicion was reduced. Yu Wenwen said. According to this new evidence, Tian Hao, who took out the jade belt as evidence before, and Chen Ershi, the black coachman who deceived Zhang Li's family, were lying.
According to Tian Yu, he was a servant of the Tian family, and he went to Tian's Wubao in his early years, and later worked in the villa and was responsible for purchasing, because everyone often said that it was Tian Yilong who came to the villa.
According to Chen Ershi, he worked in the villa as a black coachman and deceived Zhang Li who was sitting in the car to the villa, and he kept saying that he had seen Tian Yilong and the other party was the owner of the villa.
The confessions of these two people were important testimony to convict Tian Yilong, and now they were instantly shattered in front of Wang San's confession, at least Chen Ershi of these two people was lying, and Tian Yi's confession had no credible value.
"Yuwen envoy Jun re-interrogated these two people, and after knowing them and reasoning with emotion, Tian Yu and Chen Ershi finally told the whole truth, they are servants of the villa, it is true, but the villa is the property of Lu Xiuqi, the son of the patriarch of the Lu family, and it has nothing to do with Tian Yilong!"
Hearing the loud announcement of the officials, the onlookers were stunned for a moment, and then saw Tian Yu and Chen Ershi being taken to the side of the hall by the officials and shouted and scolded, they hated Tian Yilong, but they hated this kind of malicious framing behavior.
"I lost my conscience, and I didn't have an asshole when I gave birth!"
"Your conscience has been eaten by dogs!"
"Stooges. Lu's lackey! ”
Yuwen Wen saw that the scene was out of control, and he was shocked and shouted, "Silence", and when the audience was quiet, he let the two people in front of him tell themselves, Tian Wei said that his real name is indeed Tian Wei, and he has always been working in Lu Xiuqi's villa, and later the Lang Lord asked him to take a jade belt and a golden hairpin to the head, except for the bite and 'listen' to the villa servant who said that Tian Yilong is the Lang master, the rest of the matters are all facts.
Chen Ershi also drooped his head and said that his real name was indeed Chen Ershi, who was also working in the villa, and was assigned by Lu Xiuqi, the lord of Lang, to deliberately expose his whereabouts and was arrested.
That is to say, these two people are indeed servants of the villa, and the matters mentioned before are their personal experiences, so they can stand up to mutual verification, but the problem lies in the question of whether Tian Yilong is the owner of the villa, and it is Lu Xiuqi, the actual owner of the villa, who ordered the two of them to bite Tian Yilong to cause trouble.
The villa has always claimed to the outside world that Lord Lang's surname is Tian, in order to hide people's eyes and ears, so as not to be leaked and found by someone to find the Lu family, Bazhou and even the six states of Jiangbei have many surnames Tian, so it must be like looking for a needle in a haystack to investigate.
The villa was placed by Lu Xiuqi, and it was originally normal, but later he had a crooked mind and kidnapped a woman from a good family for him to play. After getting tired of playing, he sold it to Jiangnan, and the white bones buried behind the villa were the remains of the woman who angered Lu Xiuqi and was killed by him.
Tian Yu and Chen Ershi's family were all in the hands of Lu Xiuqi, and the other party coerced and lured him to come out to 'share worries for the Lord'. Tian Yu is okay, but after the first thing is over, he can take the reward and retreat, but Chen Ershi is killing himself, so Lu Xiuqi promised to let his parents and younger brother spend the rest of their lives under the protection of the Lu family.
Tian Yi has never seen Tian Yilong, but Chen Ershi has seen it, in order to avoid flaws when recognizing people, Tian Yi's statement is deliberately vague but rubbed: he has never seen Tian Yilong, but 'heard' that the owner of the villa is Tian Yilong.
Seeing the pale and weak statements of the two in front of him, Yu Wenwen was very happy in his heart, and the actual scene of his re-interrogation of these two was of course not what Fang just said, 'Knowing with emotion and reasoning', but with something inside.
His well-choreographed, big investment, big scenes, and an unprecedented number of participants in the horror drama scared these two people almost to death, Tian Yi was scared on the spot and was later woken up, while Chen Ershi was so frightened that he was paralyzed by incontinence for a day before recovering.
The two of them were tossed like this, and at night they trembled all over, crying and shouting, lighting the lamp, and someone had to watch from the side to dare to sleep, of course, the truth was all explained, and even all kinds of bad deeds when they were children were told.
The servants of the villa were taken back to Bahe City by Lu Xiuqi to hide, so they were not afraid of leaking the news, and the title deed was also collected in Bahe City's home without fear of being investigated, everything was seamless.
That is to say, Zhang Li's abduction and the murder of his husband Zhang An is really a case within a case, Zhang Li was taken to the villa by the 'habitual offender' Lu Xiuqi, Zhang An later found out that he was killed by Li Que'er and his gang on the way to find his wife, and later Lu Xiuqi learned that the government wanted to arrest the thief who murdered Zhang An and released Zhang Li in order to 'avoid suspicion'.
According to the consistent deliberate guidance of the servants of the villa, Zhang Li was misled into thinking that it was Tian Yilong who raped and adulterated herself, and the villa was Tian's property, and she and her mother-in-law Zhang Liu went to the state government to beat drums and voice injustices against Tian Yilong as the real culprit behind the scenes, but was later framed by Zhang Liu's brother Liu Qing as an accomplice to the murderer and imprisoned.
After Yuwenwen took office, he found out about the case, first to clear up the grievances of Zhang and Li's family, but it was far from enough to bring Tian Yilong to justice, and the Lu family was about to intensify the relationship between Yuwenwen and Tian's family, so he planned to let Tian Yu take the lead, let Chen Ershi be arrested 'accidentally', and implement Tian Yilong's crime.
A series of ironclad evidence made Tian Yilong speechless, his guilt was serious, and he was sentenced to capital punishment by Yuwenwen, so Tian Zongguang, who only had such a son, was about to die, and the contradiction between Tian and Yuwenwen was sharp, so Tian Yuansheng and Lu took this opportunity to draw Tian to participate in the conspiracy to counterattack Yuwenwen.
However, Yuwenwen immediately reached an understanding with Tian Zongguang with his new discovery, and Tian Zongguang also revealed Tian Yuansheng's matter of wooing Tian with gratitude.
Lu Xiuqi had died on Chinese New Year's Eve when Bahe City was breached, but he could run away and the monk could not run the temple, the steward and servants of the villa were arrested, and the confessions of more than ten people can confirm that he was the real murderer of a series of abduction and trafficking of women from good families, and the most important thing is that when the Lu family property was counted, he found the title deed of the mountain villa, and everyone also confirmed that Lu Xiuqi was left-handed.
"This official announced the verdict, and the defendant Tian Yilong is not guilty! The property in the name of Lu Xiuqi, the mastermind of Zhang Li's abduction and detention, was used to compensate Zhang Li and the families of the other murdered women, and the rest was confiscated! ”
"Lu's Villa detains others for money and kills, the mastermind Lu Xiuqi is dead, and the rest of the accomplices are not to escape, Tian Hao, Chen Ershi framed others for the crime of adding one degree" Yuwen Wen solemnly pronounced the verdict, and after he finished the sentence, the plaintiff Zhang Li and the defendant Tian Yilong were all crying with joy, one because the real murderer was found and the other was because the grievances were washed away.
The onlookers listened to such a tortuous case within a case, and their heads couldn't turn for a while, thanks to the 'enthusiastic person' on the side to explain, and finally they suddenly realized that the case had come to light and found the real culprit, and did not wronged a good person, and everyone applauded and cheered desperately.
I couldn't blindfold such a complicated case within a case, and even if the thief was so cunning and changeable, he still couldn't escape the discernment, Yuwen made Jun really judge the case like a god!
It is really worthy of being a strange man who carried a one-legged bronze man to disperse the innate qi of Chen Shuling's protective body! (To be continued.) )
