Chapter 520: Examination
The car steward's wife said: "I also feel that this thing is wrong, the two of them went out to run errands, I don't know if the matter was done or not, but how could they run into the woods and hang themselves?"
And even if there is something that can't be thought of, even if the two of them go to ask for food, they won't kill themselves, and how can the two of them leave us orphans and widows, this thing is definitely not right! ”
The daughter-in-law hurriedly stepped forward and went to the pocket of the overturned housekeeper and Che Luping, their father and son went out with hundreds of taels of silver, and now both of them have an accident, so the silver is still there?
The car steward's wife hurriedly greeted him, but the two of them found at the same time that their father and son were empty, not to mention the one hundred taels of silver, even the money they usually brought with them was swept away, and there was nothing.
The daughter-in-law shouted: "Mother-in-law, they have been robbed, or what's wrong, why are all the money on their bodies gone, but even if the money is robbed, they can't commit suicide, what's going on, mother-in-law, what's going on?" ”
The daughter-in-law was panicked, and the six gods had no master, so she knew what was going on with her mother-in-law, the wife of the car steward was already very sad, and she couldn't think about what to think about at this time, but she was annoyed by her daughter-in-law.
The wife of the car steward, Che Wang, is not a particularly knowledgeable woman, nor has any education, when she married the car steward, the car steward was still a poor boy, of course she was not the daughter of a rich family, after getting married, the family affairs are all decided by the car steward, so Che Wang has never been an assertive person!
Hearing her daughter-in-law crying and asking, Che Wang's couldn't help it, so she also cried a lot, her husband died and her son died, how could she not be sad!
After being busy for a while, the mayor of the town came, and the governor also brought two officials, and the chief said to Che Wang: "Old sister-in-law, don't cry, even if you want to cry, bear with it first, I have already gone into the city to report for you, and now the messengers have come, I have to let them write down the things about you and your son first, and let the government come to find out what is going on, you have to cooperate, you can't cry so endlessly!" ”
The expressions of the two officials were quite bad, and they were even a little nervous, because although it was the people from the town who went to report to the official, but whether they committed suicide or were murdered by someone has not yet been clarified, they really hope that the car steward and Che Luping committed suicide, so that it is not a homicide case, and they can save a lot of trouble.
The two officials stepped forward to check the bodies of the car steward and Che Luping, and recorded all the features on the corpses, and when they finished recording, the expressions on the faces of the two officials became even more ugly.
Because the car steward and Che Luping were injured, they were both beaten before they died, although both of them committed suicide on the tree, but the two of them were hung on the rope before they lost their breath, or were strangled, this is actually difficult to determine with the current autopsy methods, after all, the two of them are not masters.
One of the officials said to Che Wang's family: "Your husband and son did not commit suicide, they should have been murdered, this is a homicide case, so we must report it to the county magistrate, you two women, see who is going with us to go to the yamen and explain this matter clearly?" ”
Che Wang said: "Then the woman will go to the yamen with the two masters to talk about it, the daughter-in-law of the woman has to stay at home to take care of the little grandson, our family is now left with a single seedling of the little grandson, if something happens to him, our family is really going to cut off the incense!" ”
The official said: "The bodies of your husband and son must also be carried to the yamen together, and the two of them can only be buried in the earth after the county magistrate personally examines the corpses." ”
The governor of the town personally led people, carried the corpses of Che Luping and the car steward, and followed the official messenger to the yamen.
Che Wang's family instructed his daughter-in-law to take good care of her little grandson at home, but don't do anything else, their family can't withstand any blows.
After everyone entered the yamen, they reported the matter to Li Rizhi, and when Li Rizhi heard that it was a case of two lives, he naturally did not dare to slack off, and immediately ascended to the court, and asked people to bring Che Wang's family to the court.
Naturally, the Che Wang family did not write a statement, at this time, there was Li Rizhi's questioning, which was recorded by the scribe, and after the question was answered, this side was also considered a statement.
Che Wang's family naturally didn't have anything to hide, she told what happened yesterday completely, Hong Duomi and Chang Yutang's names she also repeatedly mentioned, and told Li Rizhi very clearly that the whole thing was caused by Chang Yutang, if there was no Chang Yutang in secret, then her husband Che Butler and son Che Luping would definitely still be alive now, and they would not die so tragically!
Li Rizhi listened to Che Wang's narration, and then asked a few more questions about the details, but he did not get any particularly positive answers, and he could not judge who was more suspicious from Che Wang's answers.
Li Rizhi threw down a fire stick and asked the catchers to arrest Hong Duomi and Chang Yutang, as well as those tenants to bring them together, although there is no evidence to prove that they are related to the death of the car housekeeper Che Luping, but they are people related to the case, so they will naturally be brought in for interrogation.
After giving these orders, Li Rizhi went to inspect the car steward and Che Luping's body, although the officials had already done a preliminary examination, but the examination was relatively rough, except for being able to conclude that the two people were beaten before they died, basically nothing else could be judged.
Li Rizhi first checked the body of the car steward, and saw that the expression on the car steward's face was consistent with the expression before a person was strangled to death, but whether a person was strangled or hanged himself to death, looking at the strangulation marks of the rope can actually be distinguished.
Li Rizhi saw that the strangulation marks on the neck of the car steward were close to his chin, so he was preliminarily determined that the car steward should have hanged himself.
But this hanging does not refer to suicide, it may also be that someone else stuffed him into a rope ring and made the illusion of hanging himself.
Looking at the scars on the car steward's body, in fact, there are not many scars, only two, one is on the ribs, one is on the chest, touched it, and found that the ribs were broken, which is quite ruthless, but the injury on the chest did not break the chest fracture, but behind the sternum is the heart, and it is unknown whether the heart is injured, but this is not the point, because what really caused the death of the car steward was not the blow injury, but the strangulation wound that suffocated him.
After inspecting the car steward, Li Rizhi then checked Che Luping, and Che Luping had more injuries on his body, as many as four or five, and the cause of his death was the same as that of the car steward, not from being beaten, but from being strangled to death.
The injuries on Che Luping's body are also concentrated in the chest and under the ribs, and there are no injuries to the back and head, which is basically the same as the car steward.
After the examination, Li Rizhi said: "Both of these people were injured head-on, so they should have had an argument with someone, not someone knocked on a sticky stick while walking the night road."
Judging from the scars on the two of them, the person who beat them should know some martial arts, even if they don't know martial arts, they must have a lot of experience in fighting.
But after beating the two of them, why did they go to great lengths to make them look like they were hanging, this is a bit strange. ”
After Cheng Zizai watched the autopsy, he said, "Is it murder for money?" But I don't think there are many people who know that the two of them have money on them, that is, their wives, so are they thieves who want to rob them? But the thieves who robbed the road are different from this, and the thieves who rob the road have always started from behind! ”
Li Rizhi said: "Didn't I say it just now, the two of them are not knocked on a stuffy stick, of course, they don't necessarily knock a stuffy stick from behind!" ”
Li Rizhi thought for a while, and then said: "Send some more people to that dart game to have a look, and bring that Wang Dart Head and the group of dart masters under him over for questioning, these people are all good at fighting, and they must also know some martial arts!" ”
