Qin Lin came, and there was already a public case outside the prison, only a table and a chair, which was extremely simple, and there were not many official schools to follow, only Lu Yuanzhi and two school captains, plus Miss Xu.

"The people's daughter knocks on the minister!" Wu knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Qin Lin.

"Death!" A stable woman poked her finger from behind: "In front of the minister, you dare to play your ghost tricks, and you should also call the people's daughter?" Call the Prisoner Woman! ”

Several other stable women also kicked and beat the Wu family, and at the same time cast a flattering smile to Qin Lin, and the old face smiled like a chrysanthemum.

They only knew that no matter how much they flaunted their might in front of the female prisoners, and how they befriended powerful officials and clerks, as long as the minister casually stretched out his little finger, he could crush himself to death like an ant.

Qin Lin frowned, shook his hand and said, "You guys beat her slowly, in the eyes of this official, the legal principles of this case are intolerable, but it is excusable, let the Wu family stand up and speak!" ”

What legal principles are intolerable, and what are extenuating circumstances? The Wen Po heard it in a daze, but the intention of the minister to protect the Wu family was also obvious, of course they did not dare to disobey at all, and quickly let the Wu family stand up, and even took the lead in beating her Wen Po just now, and also reached out to stretch the back of her clothes for her.

"Xie Qin sent the minister's grace," Wu stood up when he heard this, and Ying Ying said a thousand blessings.

Qin Lin looked at it carefully, and saw that although the appearance of the Wu family was not stunning, it also had seven or eight colors, and the fair and thin face and expression did not have the air of deceitful and flashy, but there was a kind of gentleness and perseverance.

A few stable women didn't know what Qin Shaobao was doing when he looked at this prisoner, but Qin Shaobao had taken a fancy to her, and he screamed bitterly: Oh mom, the minister of the Qin mission wants to save a prisoner woman, it can't be easier, if the Wu family becomes the concubine of the Qin mission, will he still have his life?

Xu Xinyi pulled Qin Lin beside him, and complained to him in his heart: You don't hurry to look at what this prisoner is doing, is it possible that you really like her? Cut, I don't believe it!

Uh~~ Shouldn't you use facial expressions to deter criminals first, and then break the psychological defense line with a policy attack? Qin Lin touched his nose and coughed dryly: "Prisoner Wu, this official said that your crime is unforgivable, but it is excusable, as long as you are willing to confess honestly, this official can try his best to be extrajudicial and gracious!" ”

Wu looked at Qin Lin with a complicated expression, of course he knew that the minister of the Qin mission was telling the truth, and he did not coax himself - as a Qin cha and the crown prince Shaobao, there was no reason to coax the suspect for the sake of an ordinary murder case.

However, Wu's expression was cold, and he finally gritted his teeth: "The people's women, the people's women don't know what crimes they have?" The husband of the folk woman died unexpectedly, and I am asking the adults to judge the yin and the yang and capture the real murderer, but I really don't understand why the adults will say that the folk woman is guilty. ”

"Nonsense!" Lu Yuanzhi couldn't help but reprimand: "My family Qin Shaobao's eyes are like lightning, the mirror is hanging, and there is no grievance in the case, saying that you are a criminal, you had better recruit from the truth, so as not to wait for the big punishment!" ”

Xu Xinyi also said: "This sister-in-law, tell the truth, Qin Lin will never say that you are guilty if he has no evidence." ”

Wu's expression remained unchanged, and he still stood neither arrogant nor humble, but his eyes did not dare to make contact with Qin Lin's sharp eyes.

"Okay, this official originally wanted to spend less time talking, it seems that he has to distinguish right from wrong with you," Qin Lin sighed, paused and said, "If I say that you murdered your husband, do you have a defense?" ”

Is it really her? The stable women were very frightened, but they didn't provoke this aunt last night, with Zhou Caitou's skills, the top of her head was smashed to pieces, and her neck was almost cut in a different place, if we provoke her, can we still stand and talk here today?

Lu Yuanzhi and Xu Xinyi also involuntarily took a breath, although they had heard Qin Lin say that the Wu family was a criminal woman, but they were not sure what crime she had committed.

"The people's women and the people's women have never murdered their husbands," Wu took a deep breath and said like a cannon: "The women and their husbands raised their eyebrows and respected each other like guests, they never blushed, and their feelings were very good, so how could they suddenly murder their husbands?" ”

Hearing this, even the arrogant Xu Xinyi felt a little ashamed, look at what people say, he and Qin Lin's guy, if they don't quarrel one day, they will feel uncomfortable.

"Raise your eyebrows, respect each other like guests, never blush, haha, haha!" Qin Lin couldn't help but sneer, and looked at the Wu family pitifully and lamentably: "For the sake of the face of the people before and after, you barely pretend to be in love, obviously you were beaten all over your body, but you have to pretend that nothing happened, are you tired?" Let's put it bluntly, the plaster found in the cabinet is probably not your husband's treatment of stick sores, but your treatment of beaten wounds, and the copper teapot has also found marks of smashing and fine blood stains, presumably caused by hitting you. ”

Yes? Xu Xinyi, Lu Yuanzhi and the other two lieutenants all opened their mouths wide, Zhou Dexing's house looked neat and tidy, and there was no sign of violence and abuse at all, who would have thought that this would be the case?

Wu's lips moved, his eyes were a little red, and he didn't know whether to deny or admit it.

Qin Lin sighed: "You don't have to let Wen Po take off your clothes and check the unhealed scars on your body before you admit it, right?" ”

In front of outsiders, the hard shell disguised with all his body and mind collapsed instantly, and in the face of everyone's half-sympathetic and half-disdainful gazes, Wu suddenly fell to the ground softly, and cried loudly: "The people's woman, the people's woman married a beast, he has beaten me every day in the past few years, saying that he has been a head catcher, and his status is different, and he wants to divorce me to marry the young lady of the rich man's family, so that he can marry the beautiful girl of the Qinglou, and he also let me ...... I've endured it all for my son! However, the folk woman really didn't kill him, my lord, my lord! ”

Qin Lin sighed, in the era of marrying chickens and dogs, the situation encountered by the Wu family was really suffocating.

The injury has to be recorded after all, Qin Lin took the lead, the men present all turned their backs, and several stable women took off Wu's clothes.

Hiss~~ Xu Xinyi gasped, only to see that Wu's naked back was covered with bruises and purple scars, which looked shocking, it was really terrifying, and a few places were even swollen and deformed, and the scars that had not yet healed were stacked with old scars!

This is no ordinary beating, but cruel abuse!

In this era, the Wu family had no other way but to swallow their anger, and they were beaten so painfully that they didn't dare to moan, lest they be heard and spread by outsiders. She is strong, she works hard for this family and for her son, pretending to be nothing in front of outsiders, cleaning up this home inside and out, looking no different from a normal family, all kinds of suffering is really terrible to think about.

"Zhou Dexing, this scumbag!" Xu Xinyi scolded angrily, if Zhou Dexing was still alive, I am afraid that she would be beaten to death.

What kind of thing is Zhou Dexing, everyone knows it very well, this guy was ordered by Xun Changfeng, the former prefect of Yanzhou, to hunt down Qi Saihua and Xi Dongsheng, and the extremely vicious appearance is still vivid, as Xun Changfeng's lackey and accomplice, he acted for the tiger outside, and cruelly abused his wife at home, what a guy with a beast's heart!

Xu Xinyi felt that Zhang Zixuan was so cute for the first time, and ordered Zhou Dexing to be beaten with a big board, and finally made him suffer a little living crime before his death.

"Well, you confess honestly, Miss Ben will spare you death!" Xu Xinyi waved her hand with a big grin, as the eldest lady of the Wei State Mansion, even if Qin Lin refused to help, she had countless ways to help the Wu family, not to mention that Qin Lin did not object to doing so.

Unexpectedly, Qin Lin waved his hand: "No, there are other people who killed the people, she is only an accomplice at most, or she doesn't report it." ”

Someone else? Xu Xinyi's willow eyebrows were tangled, could it be that the Wu family had a good relationship outside and killed her husband for her? In that case, Miss Xu's sympathy will inevitably be greatly reduced.

When Wu Shi heard this, he suddenly went crazy, and shouted hoarsely: "No, no! It was the prisoner who killed her husband alone, and the prisoner did not ask the eldest lady to spare her life, but only asked Qin Qin to send the prisoner to the prisoner to be punished properly, and the prisoner died without complaint! ”

"Hmph, this little hoof is a loving one, protecting her little lover!" Several stable women began to point and poke again.

Niu Dali was as heavy as the footsteps of an earthquake, coming from outside the courtyard wall, and as soon as he walked into the side door of the mansion, he reported loudly to Qin Lin: "Caught, caught Wu Gang!" ”

"This Wu Gang doesn't go to the Moon Palace to cut down the osmanthus tree, but he will smash people's heads," Qin Lin teased with a smile.

Xu Xinyi stared at the apricot kernel and pointed at the person who was arrested: "No, Qin Lin, you are not mistaken, he, he is a blind man!" ”

is indeed a blind man, Wu Gang is strong and burly, his face is a little familiar with his sister Wu, if it is normal, he is still a beautiful man with a heroic spirit, but unfortunately both eyes are blind, the position where the eyes should have been long, only red soft flesh, and some burn scars on the face, which looks very scary.

"Big brother!" When Wu saw his brother, he couldn't help but let out a cry of despair.

"Little sister, little sister, what's wrong with you?" Wu Gang anxiously struggled towards his sister's position, but he was tied up by five flowers, and several brocade clothes officials were escorted, of course he couldn't break free.

Niu Dali reported the situation loudly: "Wu Gang, the brother of the criminal woman Wu, is twenty-eight years old this year, originally a blacksmith, but due to an accident seven years ago, he was splashed with red-hot iron and burned both eyes. ”

Hearing this, Lu Yuanzhi realized.

Qin Lin touched his chin and deliberately squinted his eyes to make a thinking appearance: "Blacksmith?" So, he must be an expert at hammering, but it's a pity that after so many years, the craft has been abandoned. ”

"This time Qin Shaobao guessed wrong," Niu Dali smiled: "His skills are better than before he was blind, because he is very smart and hardworking, and he has been striking iron in the blacksmith shop all the time, but he no longer uses his eyes to see when working, but by listening to the sound of hitting the iron, he judges the landing point of the hammer and the success or failure of the sword he refines, and it is said that the weapons he plays are better than the blacksmith with sound eyes." ”

"Well, that's the case, since he is used to picking up a hammer, and he can listen to the sound and distinguish the position...... Qin Lin paused deliberately, and then said: "Then he smashed people's heads in the dark, and there must be no difficulty." ”

Wu Gang was shocked, and the Wu family became more and more anxious, and that kind of pitiful appearance made the hard-hearted people soften their hearts when they saw it.

Xu Xinyi finally knew why Qin Lin would suddenly realize after hearing his words.

If a person is deficient in one aspect, he must be stronger in another aspect in order to make up for that defect to some extent.

Just like the deaf old woman next door to Zhou Dexing, after being deaf for a long time, she can "hear" others by reading lip language, and the blind person's hearing is often extraordinarily sensitive, reaching the level of hearing and distinguishing the position, and it is not a problem to hit the victim's head with a hammer in the dark, and then cut the neck of the victim who fell to the ground and gasped with a knife.

As a result, all the problems were solved, and the whole case had the most reasonable explanation.

It is precisely because the perpetrator is a blind man that it is better to squat at Zhou Dexing's house than to attack with a sticky in the alley outside, and it is very difficult for a blind man to touch people's backs without being noticed outside, squatting at home, and taking advantage of the moment Zhou Dexing opened the door to carry out a surprise attack, but it is the most secure, the height and position of the victim's head at that moment are almost fixed, as long as Wu Gang knocks down on the position simulated before, he will definitely be able to hit.

Or because Wu Gang was blind, he didn't need to light the lamp at all, so he committed the crime in the dark, and the deceased was attacked as soon as he entered the house, and he didn't have time to light the lamp, so the lamp was not lit at all, and Wu Gang's fingerprints naturally did not leave on the lampshade.

Finally, why were the sticks that were being swept away by the river? It's not that he didn't know that Qin Lin would check his fingerprints and thus destroy the evidence, but because that stick was originally the blind cane that Wu Gang used to walk, and if he lost the stick, it would be a problem for him to walk!

A blind man will hardly be suspected by anyone of being involved in a murder case, even in the investigation after the case, the interviewee and the official school in charge of the investigation have intentionally or unintentionally omitted him, so it was not until Qin Lin read the lips of a deaf old woman and realized that a blind person may have an abnormally developed sense of hearing and can commit crimes in the dark, and the truth of this case was finally revealed!

"Yes, my lord, you are right," Wu Gang knelt on the ground, his voice was very low: "I killed the beast with a human face and a beast's heart, and I stole the key to the Zhou family, and my sister didn't know anything about it at all—maybe after the case, she guessed that it was me who did it, but this shouldn't be a crime, right?" ”

Wu had already collapsed to the ground, tears rolling down: "Big brother, big brother, why are you doing this...... For the sake of my sister, give up your surname and ......"

"It doesn't matter, the eldest brother is already blind, so I can only do this for you one last time," Wu Gang's face was facing his sister's direction, although he had no eyes, why did people see tears flowing down his face?

"Hey, hey, don't be so sad, okay?" Qin Lin's hippie smiling expression didn't match the atmosphere at all, "Life and death, in fact, the official doesn't like it, and don't you know what extrajudicial grace is all about?" ”

Yes? The brother and sister both "looked" at Qin Lin and were pleasantly surprised.

"Zhou Dexing, this guy, the official told him to make meritorious service, if he didn't make meritorious service, the official would have slaughtered him, so," Qin Lin blinked: "If you know the news about the White Lotus Sect from Zhou Dexing's mouth, this official can reduce the punishment for the sake of meritorious service!" ”
