Feiyan nodded, but Murong Yuxue said with a sallow face: "Thank you for your kindness, it's still not okay, Jiongxue feels very uncomfortable and wants to go back early to lie down and rest." ”

"That's not good, you go back and lie down, what can the family do?"

Murong Yuxue's expression darkened, too, since she took on the responsibility of this family, needless to say that she has a headache and brain fever on weekdays, even if she is sick, she can't lie down and rest, and she has to work hard to take care of the housework, taking care of the three old people and two young brothers.

Meng Tianchu continued: "That's it, when Feiyan goes to order a banquet later, order some wine and food casually, and ask the shopkeeper to send it to your family, you don't have to worry, when you finish eating, you can go back and rest directly." How is it? ”

"This..."Murong Yuxue was a little embarrassed, she was a very strong woman, she didn't want to owe Meng Tianchu too much, after all, the last layer of tissue paper in West Lake was not pierced, in the end, the two had nothing to do with anything other than their work relationship, and she couldn't accept Meng Tianchu's help with peace of mind.

Of course, Meng Tianchu knew what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "Let's not just drink, but also discuss what to do with this case together, the county magistrate is urgent, I want to give him the handling opinions early tomorrow morning, so I want to take advantage of this time to listen to your opinions." Alright, this is not the place to talk, let's go back and talk about it! ”

As soon as Murong Zhenxue heard Meng Tianchu say that there was still business to discuss, she was the personal secretary hired by Meng Tianchu with extra money, and now she had something to deal with, of course she couldn't shirk it, so she nodded.

After saying that, Meng Tianchu asked Feiyan to order a banquet, he knew that after the huge nausea of the dissection, the second daughter must have no appetite, especially for greasy and internal organs, which would be disgusting when mentioned, so he especially emphasized letting Feiyan buy more vegetarian dishes. Meng Tianchu himself didn't eat without meat, but in order to take care of the two of them, he said that he only needed to get a fish, and he didn't want other meat dishes. Only then did Murong Yuxue push the wheelchair and return to the inner office.

Before the banquet was delivered, Meng Tianchu and Murong Yuxue came to the study to discuss, and Meng Tianchu asked casually: "Jiongxue, tell me, what should I do with this case?" ”

Murong Xue said: "This... It also depends on whether Yuan Tiehe deliberately killed Lin Si or negligently caused death, and the verdict between the two is different. ”

Meng Tianchu said: "Then tell me, is Yuan Tiehe intentional or negligent?" ”

"It's... Jiongxue can't be sure..."Although she participated in the interrogation record. also participated in the autopsy, although she wrote down every word according to what Meng Tianchu said, and she also memorized these terms by heart, but remembering is one thing, understanding is another, writing it down, but I don't understand what these signs can indicate, and judging the nature of the behavior by synthesizing the entire interrogation confession and autopsy conclusions, this requires comprehensive criminal case judgment ability, Murong Yuxue is just a small scribe, and it is okay to write documents, if you really want to talk about the characterization of behavior, it is not her ability.

"It doesn't matter, you judge the nature of his behavior for yourself according to the information you have, and it's okay if you say it wrong."

Murong Yuxue thought for a while and said slowly: "On the wedding night, after Yuan Tiehe knew about the previous relationship between his wife Lin Si and Zhuo Xin, he was so jealous that he slapped Lin Si, and then he entered the new house and grabbed her hair, poured him wine, and forcibly had sex with her. ”

Meng Tianchu nodded: "You have a certain amount of truth, but if it is determined that Yuan Tiehe deliberately killed Lin Si, there are several problems that are not easy to solve." ”

"What are the questions?" Murong Yuxue looked at Meng Tianchu with wide dark eyes.

"First, have you ever seen or heard of intentional homicide by crushing someone to death?"

“… No. This was a big flaw, and Murong Yuxue couldn't help but blush a little.

"Therefore, if Yuan Tiehe wants to kill Lin Si, he doesn't have to use his fat body to crush her to death. Covering his mouth, pinching his throat, scratching his head and hitting the wall, and even directly twisting her neck off, all of them were very neat, which was in line with his behavior characteristics of killing people in a fit of jealousy and rage. ”

"Second, take 10,000 steps back, Yuan Tiehe's head was chaotic and used this most ridiculous method to deliberately kill Lin Si, or, he wanted to use this method to torture Lin Si and let Lin Si die slowly, so as to vent his anger, then after killing Lin Si, there was no need for him to continue to press on Lin Si motionless for half an hour."

"He pressed Lin Si for half an hour? Master, how do you know? ”

"Autopsy, the autopsy found that Lin Si's lungs had edema, which is a phenomenon that only occurs when a heavy object compresses the chest and abdomen for a long time and causes suffocation for a long time. Due to the slow suffocation for a long time, it caused edema of Lin Si's lungs and other organs. ”

"Then why is it motionless again?"

"It's very simple, such a fat person, when he is awake, he has been lying on his stomach, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on for half an hour, unless he is already asleep, and there are no friction marks on Lin Si's body, no fractures on the sternum and ribs, no rupture of the internal organs of the chest and abdomen, and the congestion and bleeding in all parts are about the same, indicating that the force is relatively balanced, so I comprehensively judge that Yuan Tiehe was lying motionless on Lin Si's body for half an hour."

The situation of edema, when dissecting, Meng Tianchu had already explained it to Feiyan and Murong Zhenxue, but it was understandable. However, there was another point that Murong Yuxue didn't quite understand, and asked: "Lying motionless for half an hour, can it be explained that it is a mistake?" "Chima

"Of course, according to Li Worm'er's confession, it was probably Zizheng when he went to bed, and according to my autopsy autopsy certificate, Lin Si should have died around Zizheng, and the time was delayed by about a quarter of an hour, of course, the death autopsy is only speculation, it is possible to advance, it is possible to retreat, when Li Worm went up, he found that Yuan Tiehe was sleeping and snoring, it was Li Worm who pushed Yuan Tiehe off Lin Si's corpse, if you want to kill someone, after you have killed someone, Do you still sleep on top of a corpse? ”

Murong Yuxue shook his head, smiled reluctantly, and shook his head.

Meng Tianchu continued: "Third, if Yuan Tiehe used this method to deliberately kill Lin Si, when he was questioned the next day, he would definitely not say that the doors and windows had been closed and put himself in a desperate situation. ”

Murong Yuxue nodded: "Yes, if I were Yuan Tiehe, I would at least say that I didn't pay attention to whether the doors and windows were closed." ”

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, it can be concluded that Yuan Tiehe was drunk, and his body was pressed and negligent to cause Lin Si's death. You should think about it according to this, how should it be decided? ”

Murong Xue said: "Yuan Tiehe was drunk and mistakenly crushed his wife Lin Si to death, this manslaughter, according to the provisions of the Ming Law: 'If the person who commits manslaughter, he shall be allowed to fight for the crime of killing and wounding, and he shall redeem and pay the family of the killed and injured according to the law, as the capital of the funeral. ’”

Meng Tianchu had the impression of this, when he was studying the Da Ming Law hard, he had carefully studied it, manslaughter can be applied to atonement, Meng Tianchu said again: "Well, yes, you go on." ”

"Yes, the Da Ming Law stipulates: 'A man whose husband beats his wife to death shall be hanged.'" It is also stipulated: 'Redemption for manslaughter and hanging, recovery of 33 yuan and 600 yuan, copper coins 8 yuan and 400 yuan, and the house of the slain, and the camp burial.' A total of 12 taels of silver and 2 cents. Therefore, the Yuan family should be ordered to redeem the silver twelve taels and four cents and pay the Lin family. Then Yuan Tiehe was released and the case was closed. ”

Meng Tianchu thought for a while, and then asked: "Lin Si is the daughter-in-law of the Yuan family, and she is buried by the Yuan family, and the Lin family doesn't give a penny, what kind of money do you have to accompany?" ”

Murong Zhenxue bowed down and said, "Having said that, this money is not really used for burial, it can be regarded as a kind of comfort for the relatives of the deceased." ”

Oh, it turned out to mean compensation for moral damages, Meng Tianchu looked very satisfied: "Well, it's very good, then you write a comment for me like this, and I will submit it to the county master tomorrow for reading." ”

Murong Yuxue agreed, sat down, moved her pen like a fly, quickly wrote the comments, and handed them to Meng Tianchu for a look. Meng Tianchu was very satisfied, and at this moment, Feiyan had already ordered a banquet and came back.

There was a banquet in the restaurant, originally Feiyan was a slave and maid, and she couldn't go to the table to eat with the master, but she said that she would reward the two of them today, so she was allowed to sit on the banquet. The case was solved today, and the mood was relatively comfortable, Meng Tianchu wanted to drink some wine, so he asked the three girls to drink some wine with him, and the three girls did not shirk and accompanied Meng Tianchu to have a few drinks.

Murong Yuxue and Feiyan didn't have much appetite today. The disgusting scenes of the dissection always churned in my mind from time to time. Meng Tianchu also had this experience, of course, he understood that this feeling of nausea and discomfort lasted for a few days, and it took several months to adjust, so he was not reluctant, let them drink more fish soup and replenish their body fluids.

After eating, Zeng Langzhong, the shopkeeper of the "Grass Fragrance Shop", came to change Meng Tianchu's leaves, checked the wound on his head, and the healing was very good. I didn't find any symptoms of cerebral hemorrhage, and after a few words of advice to be careful about rest and not to be too tired, I took my leave and left.

Murong Yuxue was also about to say goodbye and go back, but Meng Tianchu saw that it was still early, so he left her to speak. Feiyan didn't sleep all night last night, and was supposed to rest during the day today and continue to protect Meng Tianchu at night. But I was busy all day during the day, and I didn't have time to rest. In addition, today is a day of tossing, and the eyelids are fighting. Xia Fengyi asked her to go to sleep first, and she would guard Meng Tianchu by herself at night, Feiyan waved her hand again and again and said that it didn't matter, she would still guard it.

When the four of them were chatting in the dining room, the porter came to report that Lord Yuan Bo Yuan had come to visit and was waiting in the living room.

Feiyan pushed the wheelchair to send Meng Tianchu to the living room, Yuan Zhubo sat on the guest seat in the middle, and on the tea table between the main seat and the guest seat, there was a beautifully decorated small box.

Needless to say, Meng Tianchu saw the small box on the tea table at a glance, and knew what the purpose of his coming was that he must have come to give gifts for his son's affairs.

How to characterize this case, Cai Zhixian has been carte blanche to Meng Tianchu, and this case is due to the fact that there are no eyewitnesses to directly witness Lin Si's death, although according to the facts of the case, it is very likely that it was negligence causing death, but that is also a matter of discretion of the person who judged the case, so if Meng Tianchu deliberately rectifies the person, saying that it is intentional murder and deliberately crushing Lin Si to death, then according to the law of Daming, if the husband murders his wife and will be hanged, Yuan Tiehe will also die, if it is said to be manslaughter, it can be redeemed, Just give some money for the camp funeral, there is a difference between heaven and earth.

After the autopsy results came out, Yuan Zhubo has been thinking about this problem, there was no one present at the time of the crime, and the autopsy results were not understood by others, whether it was murder or negligence causing death, it was not a matter of the master's words, after thinking about it, he decided to get through the relationship between Meng Tianchu, the criminal master.

Feiyan helped Meng Tianchu to stand up from the wheelchair and slowly sat on the main seat in the living room, Yuan Zhubo sat down on the guest seat, first greeted Meng Tianchu's injury, and said something inconsequential such as Meng Tianchu taking injuries to solve the case is a model for everyone to learn, and then glanced at Feiyan who was standing aside, coughed lightly, and stopped talking.

Meng Tianchu understood at the moment, turned his head to Feiyan and said, "You go down first, and I will call you after I finish talking to Lord Yuan." ”

Feiyan agreed, bowed, exited the living room, and closed the door.

Yuan Zhubo secretly glanced at Meng Tianchu's expression, laughed, and opened the box on the tea table, which was full of white flowers and silver.
