Chapter 385: Smelling the Fragrance Gate
Intracranial hemorrhage, many times the external injury is very inconspicuous, but the intracranial blood vessels are ruptured, blood flows out, the cranial cavity contents increase, the pressure increases, compresses the brain tissue, and produces a series of lethal effects.
Not to mention such a big green bag on the top of Master Ma's head, even if it was an intracranial hemorrhage caused by a smaller injury, Qin Lin had seen it.
Qin Lin touched his chin with a wry smile, and thought about it: "It seems that the case is very likely that Chen Minghao beat Master Ma, causing him to have intracranial hemorrhage, well, it is salivation into the brain, which concubine or secret prostitute does this guy go to to be merry and happy, but he died in bed, and the concubine was afraid for a while, so he moved his body here." ”
Everyone nodded in unison, which was the most reasonable explanation for the case at present.
Huang Jiashan also said again and again: "In this way, the concubine who moved the corpse is also informed and immoral, and it is still Chen Minghao who is ultimately responsible for the death of Master Ma." After he was beaten, Master Ma died in just three hours, and the twenty-day bail period was still very early. ”
Before he finished speaking, he heard a grunt not far away, and a gray-haired old man fell to the ground.
At this time, the people's customs were pure, and the hearts of the people in the world had not been damaged by too many "Mrs. Xu" and "according to common sense", and the surrounding people and officials helped the old man up, pinched the middle of the people for him, poured ginger soup, and fiddled for a while, and finally woke up quietly.
Some neighbors who recognized this old man sighed: "Poor, Old Man Chen gave birth to a son who became a Han general, and he is a person who can be used by the emperor's family, and he finally has a little interest, and he has to fight for Master Ma, it is really a good person who has no good reward......"
As soon as he heard that Old Man Chen was Chen Minghao's father, Mao immediately pounced like a tiger descending the mountain, grabbed the old man's neck by the collar, and howled: "Old thing, your son killed my man, and the old lady fought with you!" ”
Everyone looked surprised, that Master Ma was messing with flowers and grass, the two of them fought every day, Mao couldn't wait for him to go to see Hades one day earlier, why did he make a strange appearance at this time, as if he wanted to fight hard for his husband?
In the end, it was the two younger brothers with big shoulders and round waists who understood their sister's thoughts best, and walked up half to persuade and half bluff: "Old man, your son killed our brother-in-law, and if you get rid of one life, won't you pay our sister for the rest of her life?" Don't talk about it, take three thousand taels and talk about it. ”
Old man Chen burst into tears, knelt on the ground and gave Mao's advice: "I shouldn't have killed Master Ma, I can't take out three thousand taels, the old man will go back to pawn, and the silver will be compensated to you......"
Bah! Mao's mouthful of thick phlegm spit on Old Man Chen's face, and he screamed: "Who wants you to pawn?" Paying your family's land to the old lady is still far from three thousand taels! Little two and three children, let's go to Chen's house to collect the land deed! ”
Old man Chen cried with a sad face, and it seemed that he didn't dare to refuse Mao's request.
The neighbors discussed: "Alas, this is what makes doing good and accumulating virtue be punished by God, and there are many blessings for doing evil." The father and son of the Chen family have been good people for decades, and their family was ruined and died once they were careless; Master Ma is insidious and cunning, acting for the tiger, and is still merry and happy on a woman's belly when he is dying; Mao's arrogant and jealous, not abiding by women's morals, but in the end they were blessed by misfortune, what do we really say? ”
"Then there is no way," some people shook their heads and sighed: "Since ancient times, it has been murder to pay for life, debts and money, and the son of the Chen family is not careful, why did he beat Master Ma to death?" When the government arrests him, he will eventually resist his fate. ”
Mao looked around triumphantly, raised his chest and raised his nostrils to the sky, not like a widow who had just died of her husband, but like a general who had returned to the dynasty victoriously, and ordered the two younger brothers, who were five big and three thick, to take the old man Chen to get the land deed.
Seeing this, Qin Lin frowned, and glanced at Niu vigorously, and Lao Niu walked over with a few pro-soldier captains and stopped Mao:
"Wait! My patriarch has not yet closed the case, why do you dare to take your own life and take your own life? Wu Na mother, do you know that this is a serious crime in the Ming Law? ”
It's okay for others, the corners of Huang Jiashan's mouth are slightly upturned, and he twists his beard and smiles.
Private and human life refers to the fact that in a case of human life, the parties do not report to the government, but privately agree to compensate, which is what the people call "private"; In the current situation, it is only the two parties who agree on compensation after reporting the case, and of course it is not private and human life.
However, Huang Xianling didn't want to tell Mao, as a qualified magistrate, he hid a little legal information from his subordinates for the first time.
When Mao heard that she had violated the law with human life, she was taken aback, and no matter how fierce and evil she was, she didn't dare to compete with the captain of Jinyi, so she immediately let the old man Chen go.
Qin Lin personally helped Old Man Chen to the side, and said with a pleasant face: "Old man, your son is a Han general under the command of our Jinyi pro-army, although he has been arrested on suspicion of committing a crime, but the case has not been decided, he is still a comrade and subordinate of this official, this official will definitely enforce the law impartially, do not indulge in vain, you don't have to be afraid of anything." ”
Then Qin Lin touched three taels of silver and handed it to Old Man Chen, and then asked two personal soldiers to send him back to rest.
Huang Jiashan looked at it and nodded, and said in his heart that Chief Qin is a kind and righteous person.
The pro-soldier captains even felt that they were comfortable and confident to follow this commander to do things, and the Shangguan of Jinyitang, the acting head of Nanzhen Fusi, was willing to care so much about a Han general who he didn't know, would he be worse to the brothers who served around him?
Old man Chen didn't look grateful, his spirit had already been crushed by the bad news that his son had killed someone and would resist his life, Mu Mu took the silver from Qin Lin's hand in a daze, and with the support of the two pro-military captains, he staggered away...... Chen Minghao punched Master Ma, the deceased died of salivation, and before he died, he went to a certain concubine to be merry and happy, and after suddenly he died, he was moved to the body - at present, it seems that the case is almost like this, and the removal of the body seems to be just a sideways branch, and removing it from the whole case has no essential impact on the facts of the case.
The detective work starts from the initial starting point, and then returns to the original point in a big circle.
Lu Yuanzhi couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, feeling that his efforts had been wasted, but Qin Lin was not frustrated, but was full of interest.
For Qin Lin, solving the case is to uncover one mystery after another, and many times the investigation work will go around in a big circle and return to the initial state, which will inevitably make the fledgling guy tired and depressed, but a veteran like Qin Lin will be more interested, because only by reasonably explaining the doubts can the ascertained case be closer to the truth.
Just said that Chen Minghao beat Master Ma's head and killed Master Ma, and he couldn't explain Master Ma's strange zombie posture and the time when the zombie appeared, and he couldn't find the first scene, which couldn't be regarded as an iron case, and he couldn't convince the public, especially Qin Lin's own heart couldn't pass the level.
So on the one hand, he asked Huang Jiashan to order the arresters to inquire everywhere which concubine or which secret prostitute Master Ma had found before his death, and on the other hand, he asked the officials to temporarily put Master Ma's body in a thin-skin coffin, pile up ice and snow around it, which is equivalent to an ice coffin, and refrigerate it for inspection.
Bidding farewell to Huang Jiashan, Qin Lin and the school captains had a big meal at the high-grade Eight Immortals Restaurant at noon, but they were not allowed to drink, and sat slowly listening to a storyteller in the lobby talk about "Three Kingdoms", and when the two pro-soldier captains who sent Old Man Chen came back, they led the way, and everyone rode out of the city and went straight to Chen Minghao's house.
Chen's house is actually quite far away from the city, and Old Man Chen came to see a doctor and take medicine in the city, so he got the news in time and rushed to the scene of the crime.
The crowd rode fast horses and ran for half an hour before they arrived.
Qin Lin didn't rush straight to the Chen family, but looked around, and sure enough, there was a large courtyard, with fields and houses, fish ponds, and forests, and the scale was quite huge.
Looking for passers-by to ask, most of them shook their hands and didn't dare to answer, and left in a hurry, even if they were willing to answer, they were also extremely short sentences: "This is the village courtyard of the governor of Qi Liaoyang, and the officials in brocade clothes asked him what he did?" ”
Qin Lin said with a smile: "We are passing by brocade-clothed officials, because the horseshoe is broken, I want to change it on his manor." ”
The man stuck out his tongue: "Joke! Don't look at you as a brocade-clothed official, and you are as big as a sesame mung bean compared to Governor Yang, don't be beaten out, hum, his servants are so hateful...... Oops, I lost my words, talking nonsense, but I didn't invite trouble? ”
When he said this, the man hurried away, and turned his head to look around, as if he would be heard by others.
Yang Zhao's arrogant servants are rampant in the township, which can be seen from this, Chen Minghao should be punished according to the law for beating and killing people, but Master Ma is afraid that he also has his way to die.
Qin Lin shook his head, extremely disdainful of Yang Zhaojia's approach, but he didn't come to wrestle with Governor Yang, and after sighing, he slowly rushed to the Chen family.
Guided by two personal soldiers, see that Chen Minghao's house is indeed quite close to Yang's Grange, it is a mud-walled house in the north, which is cleaned up everywhere, with a thin layer of snow on the roof, and a lot of straw and dry firewood piled up under the eaves.
As soon as Qin Lin walked outside the courtyard, he heard someone talking inside: "Our incense gate is created by the owner of the door, Wang Sen Wang Zhenren, and it is the most capable of saving suffering. Your son was arrested this time because he scolded Wang Zhenren last time we came to preach......"
Hearing this, Qin Lin's expression suddenly changed, and he shouted loudly: "What kind of demon is confusing the public? Brothers, take him down with your own officials! ”
Niu Dali led the pro-soldiers and captains to rush in, and immediately pulled out two thin guys in their forties, followed by Old Man Chen, and a mother-in-law who was close to the sixtieth birthday, thinking that it was Chen Minghao's mother.
Qin Linsen's cold gaze swept over the faces of the two preachers, causing them to tremble in fright, and the words of their mouths were full of thoughts of Wang Zhenren's rescue.
"What Wang Zhenren, don't be the White Lotus Cult, right?" Qin Lin sneered.
