Chapter 72: The Misfortune of Missing Hands
"Then find out the matter, if it is really the king's arrest, can't he be arrested and brought to justice?"
"The difficulty is here, not to mention that Wang Zhutou has followed me for many years, it is reasonably difficult to start, just talk about the facts, several people in this case have conducted autopsy, only to find that there is a quail egg-sized hematoma on the back of Zhang's body, and there is no other injury on the body, so he died, and he can't tell if he was killed by a head hit, and Wang Zhutou has been shouting injustice. Whether it was Wang Zhutou who caused his death at that moment, I have not been able to find out, I have already put Wang Zhutou in prison, but Zhang Laohan's family has Shen Naichun Zhixian as the backing, and they do not forgive, so they have to immediately come up with a satisfactory result, and the result is not out for a day, and his son's body will be parked at the yamen for a day. ”
Meng Tianchu also frowned, now the other party in this case has the support of the magistrate of Qiantang County, Hangzhou, and the pressure of the prefect of Hangzhou Prefecture, the body has been parked at the entrance of the yamen, and the pressure of public opinion from everyone onlookers, if Cai Zhao is dismissed because of this, then his newly become a criminal master will be in vain. Therefore, for oneself and others, this matter must be dealt with as soon as possible.
Meng Tianchu said: "Dong Weng doesn't have to worry, this matter will be handled by Wansheng." ”
"It's so hard. But I wonder how Mr. plans to handle the case? "It's about the fate of his career, and I can't help but feel that Cai Zhao is not worried.
"First ask Wang Zhutou and Song Xiangyu, who is fast to catch, understand what happened, and then autopsy the corpse to find out why Boss Zhang died, determine the cause of death, and clarify the responsibility, how to deal with it."
Cai Zhao nodded and said, "Mr. is reasonable. He turned around and ordered Wang Zhutou and Song Xiangyu to be brought.
After a while, a small man came in and bowed.
Cai Zhao also introduced: "Song Zhukuai, this is Mr. Meng Tianchu Meng, the newly hired criminal master of this official, and he will be responsible for all criminal cases in the future, and you must be good to help." ”
"Yes!" Song Xiangyu bowed down and agreed, turned around and saluted Meng Tianchu: "Subordinate Song Xiangyu, bow to Mr.'s orders." Meng Tianchu returned the salute.
At this time, the two jailers walked in with a middle-aged man in prison uniform, this man was burly and strong, but at the moment his face was sad and depressed, although he was wearing a prison uniform, he was not handcuffed or shackled, let alone Mujia.
After Cai Zhao's introduction, this person is the suspect Wang Yi and Wang Zhutou.
After seeing the ceremony, Wang Zhutou and Song Xiangyu sat down.
Meng Tianchu said: "The contemptible person was hired by Lord Cai and bowed to the criminal master, and the contemptible person is responsible for this case, and now I want to ask the two of you to tell me what happened." ”
Wang Yi sighed and said: "This matter is to blame me for being too reckless, the eaves of the Jiang family, the neighbor of the old Han family, stretched to the Zhang Lao Han's house, and when it rained heavily, the water flowed along the eaves to the courtyard of the Zhang Lao Han's house. In the past, the relationship between the two families was good, but it didn't matter, but then the relationship was stiff, and there was a problem, Zhang Laohan sued the yamen, and Lord Cai issued a coupon for me and Song Xiangyu to mediate. I went there three times, and the first two times I said that the Jiang family would pay for a drainage canal to drain the rainwater outside, but later the Wang family didn't do it, and the Jiang family had to tear down part of the eaves and withdraw from the walls of their house. ”
Meng Tianchu interjected: "If the eaves can retreat a few feet and withdraw from the Zhang family's courtyard, it will also be a complete solution." ”
Wang Yi said: "Yes, but the problem is that the Jiang family's house was repaired first, and it was repaired close to the edge of their house, and the yard of Zhang Laohan's house was also repaired against the edge of the Zhang family's homestead, so the eaves stretched into the yard of his house, if you want to tear down the eaves and go back, if you want to completely withdraw from the Zhang family's yard, you can only cut down all the eaves on this side, and the rain will be directly poured on the wall, so of course the Jiang family will not do it." ”
This involves the issue of the superstructure right of the civil law foundation, ancient China heavy punishment and light civilian, so many civil legal issues are confused, the regulations are very rough, coupled with the influence of the Confucian idea of emphasizing righteousness over profit, most of the civil cases are resolved by mediation, mediation is actually the waiver of rights to pursue "righteousness", which is unimaginable under the Western natural human rights thought, so it is called the "Eastern experience".
Meng Tianchu Criminal Police Academy has studied civil law, but it is also some basic things, and this space right is only half-understood, not to mention that this is the Ming Dynasty where Confucianism prevailed, and it is impossible to delve into these modern legal issues that focus on rights.
As for the neighboring relationship, the modern civil law also pays attention to the handling of "conducive to production, convenient life, solidarity and mutual assistance, fairness and reasonableness", so Meng Tianchu is also ready to use this principle to deal with the civil cases he encounters in the future, including the eaves drainage case of two houses in Zhangjiang.
Meng Tianchu said: "When the Jiang family built the house, they should have thought about the drainage problem of the eaves, he built it close to the foundation of the house, and of course the eaves will extend to the boundaries of other people's land, the Jiang family is unreasonable first, of course, the house has been repaired, because the eaves drain the house is obviously impossible to demolish the house and rebuild it, and it will be rainwater to retract the eaves back to his own boundary and the walls will be wet with rain, so the way you came up with is indeed the most feasible way to let the Jiang family pay to build a drainage canal under the eaves to drain the rainwater." ”
Wang Yi slapped his thigh, and he had a sense of understanding: "That's it, even Mr. said so, then our disposal is still appropriate, but the Zhang family just didn't do it, no, to be precise, they agreed first, and then regretted it, it must be the bad idea given to them by Shen Naichun and Shen Zhixian of Qiantang County, who deliberately embarrassed our master!" ”
Cai Zhao said: "Wang Zhutou, fortunately, Mr. is his own family, such unfounded words, it is better not to say it in the future." ”
Wang Yi hurriedly bowed down and agreed, and continued: "When we went to the third mediation, the Zhang family had to force the Jiang family to tear down the eaves, and the two families made a fuss. When I looked at it, I had a big bag on the back of my head. ”
