Finally waited until it was dark, and Yunzi happily came to Lu Jinping's house. Soon the door opened, and Lu Jinping appeared behind the door with Ye Qingqing, who was carrying Lu Jinping's forensic investigation box. Yunzi saw Ye Qingqing, the smile on her face froze, she thought that Lu Jinping was just taking her to investigate the case alone, but she didn't expect that there was this pretty girl. This pretty girl has never been very kind to her, and the relationship between the two is a little stiff.

Ye Qingqing seemed to have known that Yunzi was going to follow, so he didn't show a surprised expression when he saw Yunzi, but he didn't show any expression either, as if Yunzi didn't exist at all.

The heavy snow finally stopped in the evening. In the evening, a new moon appeared in the sky. The sky cleared, and the reflection of the moonlight made it possible to see the surroundings more clearly.

Lu Jinping had already ordered the carriage to be prepared, and immediately got into the carriage with Ye Qingqing, Yunzi rode a horse and followed the carriage, and came to the door of the butcher's house in a sullen manner.

Lu Jinping took down two shovels and a big broom from the carriage, and said to the second daughter, "You help me sweep away the snow at the door." ”

Yunzi didn't expect that Lu Jinping didn't call her to solve the case, but to ask her to help clear the snow, and she couldn't help but be even more depressed. Seeing that Ye Qingqing didn't say a word, he took a shovel and started shoveling snow, so he had no choice but to pick up a shovel to shovel the snow.

The snow on the surface is fluffy, but the snow below has been turned into ice by pedestrians. It takes some work to shovel it off. Ye Qingqing and Yunzi both have martial arts, and they quickly dug up the ice and snow on the ground, and Lu Jinping took a big broom to sweep away the remaining broken snow, revealing the solid road below.

Lu Jinping said to Yunzi and Ye Qingqing: "You two drive the carriage to the alley and wait for me." ”

Yunzi pouted and said, "Didn't you ask me to investigate the case with you?" Why do you want to break me up? ”

"Because I want to investigate the case, I can't have anyone around when I do things, so you guys are waiting for me over there."

The entrance of the alley is blocked by houses, and it is impossible to see the situation here, Yunzi has to say again, Ye Qingqing has already led the carriage and cart to that side, it seems that she will resolutely carry out Lu Jinping's orders, and she will definitely not bargain. Yunzi saw Lu Jinping looking at her with an inquiring gaze. I had to make a bitter face, snort, and followed the carriage.

After the two of them were gone, the surroundings fell silent. Because it is already dark now, the ancients who worked at sunrise and rested at sunset rarely went out after dark, not to mention that it had just snowed and it was bitterly cold outside.

Lu Jinping took out fluorescence-enhancing glasses from the forensic investigation box and put them on. He also took out the ultraviolet laser forensic detector and began to search on the ground.

Of course, what he was looking for was bloodstains, although a long time had passed, the sun and rain had been damp, and the blood on the ground had been diluted, but since the axe had cut off his forehead, and the pig-killing knife had stabbed into his temple, and the murder weapon had been pulled out, there should have been a lot of blood on the ground. In ancient times, the ground was not made of cement, but was made of clay with good moisture absorption. So. Lu Jinping believes that the blood has soaked into the ground and will not be easily washed away by the rain. UV fluorescence detectors are very sensitive to blood and are still able to fluoresce under UV irradiation, even after repeated rinsing. -- If there is blood.

Through the fluorescent enhancement glasses, Lu Jinping saw that in the place where the murder happened as Shi Jingsheng said, there was indeed a large pool of blood.

Lu Jinping stood in front of the pool of blood in a daze, and after a while, he took out a knife from the investigation box, dug up a small piece of soil, and put the soil that reflected the fluorescence under the fluorescence to show the presence of blood stains in the evidence bag.

After the evidence was obtained. Lu Jinping came to the entrance of the alley, got into the carriage without a sound, and ordered to go back.

Yunzi leaned over and said, "Are you leaving?" Did you find anything about your spells? ”

Lu Jinping said: "I still have to go back and ponder, it's hard to say now." Let's go back first. ”

Yunzi was a little anxious and said: "You have to make a decision at noon tomorrow whether to continue the execution, you are not in a hurry now, time waits for no one." ”

"The more this time, the more cautious you have to go back first."

Yunzi saw that he was preoccupied and seemed to be troubled by something, so he had to follow him back.

Arrived at the fork in the road. Yunzi's home was in the other direction, waving goodbye to Lu Jinping. Lu Jinping seemed to be in deep thought, and didn't notice her gesture at all, which made Yunzi Boss unhappy, pouting and holding the horse on the side of the road to watch their carriage go away.

Ye Qingqing in the carriage saw that Lu Jinping ignored Yunzi's greeting, and had a smile on the corner of his mouth before, but then felt a little unbearable, so he whispered: "Why didn't she ignore you when she greeted you just now?" - Sir? Sir! ”

After screaming twice, Lu Jinping reacted, mumbled, and looked at her suspiciously. Ye Qingqing had no choice but to say it again.

Only then did Lu Jinping react, let out a sigh, and lifted the curtain to look back, but the carriage had already turned a corner and was out of sight. Said apologetically: "I'm distracted, I'm thinking about things, she won't be upset, right?" ”

Yunzi said: "Of course she is not happy, I see that her mouth is pouting on her nose just now." Did she think she was a great envoy of Tibet? Our lord won't give her face, what can she do? ”

Lu Jinping smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't mean to, I'm thinking about things." ”

"What is the Lord thinking? Is it about that case? Is it tricky? ”

Lu Jinping nodded and said: "There is no record of on-site investigation in the file, I thought this case was a fake case at first, made up by Shi Jingsheng, so I asked you to help me sweep the ground, and I checked to see if there was any human blood below, but after a preliminary inspection, there was indeed a large pool of blood on the ground at the gate of the butcher's house." - You can't see this blood, you can only see it after I do it. This proves that Shi Jingsheng is not lying, and a homicide did occur at the door of Qu Butcher's house. When I get back, I'm going to do a further test to make sure the blood in the dirt I took from the scene to see if it's the blood of the deceased. If so, there is no doubt about this case, and it is my waste of worrying about the resumption of the execution tomorrow. ”

Ye Qingqing said: "It's better to be like this, otherwise, if the lord has to veto the death penalty case approved by the emperor, I'm afraid, the emperor's face is not good-looking, and those officials of the Criminal Department of Dali Temple resent you in their hearts, offending so many people for this case, especially offending the emperor, it is not cost-effective." ”

"If it's really a wrongful case, it must be corrected, no matter who I offend, and no matter what others think of me. Human life is at stake, and I can't dare to correct a wrong case for fear of offending people, and watch others be wronged and lose their lives, that is absolutely not allowed. It's just that, judging from the current point of view, I can't find any evidence that this case is an unjust, false and wrongful case, so there is no possibility of offending these people. ”

"That couldn't be better."

Lu Jinping didn't say anything more, holding his chin and falling into deep thought.

After returning to the residence, Lu Jinping entered the bedroom and asked Ye Qingqing to wait at the door, and no one was allowed to disturb.

Lu Jinping conducted a DNA test on the extracted soil with blood, and the test results were quickly displayed on the LCD screen, indicating that it was indeed human blood.

Then Lu Jinping tested Shi Jingsheng's DNA and compared the results with the blood of the soil, confirming that the person to whom the blood belonged had a parent-child relationship with Shi Jingsheng. In other words, the large pool of blood at the gate of the Qu Butcher's Courtyard was indeed Shi Jingshan's father's.

Lu Jinping couldn't help but smile bitterly, this result showed that his previous speculation was wrong, and there was no grievance in this case.

Lu Jinping packed up his things and said to Ye Qingqing: "Wash up and sleep, and continue the execution tomorrow." ”

Ye Qingqing was very happy, hurriedly agreed, and asked, "Do I first tell the yamen to be vigilant?" The last time I was executed, I prepared the court a day in advance. Will it be too late tomorrow? ”

Lu Jinping thought for a while and shook his head: "Don't worry, it's too late to arrange it tomorrow morning, that is, to pull a guard." Besides, although there is no evidence to prove that this case is unjust, I still want to sort it out tonight. ”

Although Lu Jinping said this, he was lying on the bed, but he still didn't have a clue. In the middle of the night, he fell asleep.

The next morning.

Ye Qingqing served Lu Jinping to wash, Lu Jinping was washing his face, and the old woman in charge of the porter of the inner house came over and said with a smile: "Sir, the front doorman came in to report that someone asked to see the master, it was an old woman, and she said that she was the mother of a death row prisoner, can you see it?" ”

Lu Jinping was stunned for a moment, because the old woman slapped his son a few times in the court, and then hugged his son and cried. Qu butcher is a disobedient son, not filial to his mother, so, this old woman resents him, after he was arrested by the yamen, never came to the yamen to visit him, but did not expect to appear before the execution, now, he wants to come to see himself, what is the matter?

When Lu Jinping came to the flower hall in the front hall, he saw the old woman standing under the porch with her bowed, but she didn't sit on the seat inside.

Lu Jinping hurriedly stepped forward to help her up with both hands, and said, "Old man, don't be like this, if you have something to say." ”

The old woman didn't speak, she was already in tears, choked up and said: "I heard them say that the lord is very good at solving cases, my son is wronged, although he is not filial to me, but I know that my son will not lie, he must be wronged, please Lord Qingtian, you are the master of my son, find out this matter clearly." After that, he had to kneel on the ground and kowtow.

Lu Jinping hurriedly supported him, preventing him from kneeling, and said, "Old man, please sit down inside and talk, if you have anything to say, just tell me." ”

Lu Jinping let the old lady sit down in the house, and the old lady still kept begging with a handful of snot and tears.

Lu Jinping patiently explained: "Old man, you said that your son was wronged, is there any evidence?" You know, conviction is about evidence, if you don't have evidence, in this case, your son confessed to killing someone, although he confessed after being tortured, but the Datang Criminal Law recognizes this kind of evidence. He now cries out, but he admits that he killed someone. He also found a knife and an axe in his house, which matched the wounds of the deceased, and proved to be your son's axe and pig-killing knife. Moreover, there are blood stains at the door of the house, and there are direct eyewitnesses, the evidence in this case is very sufficient, and if you want to cry out, you must come up with the same sufficient evidence to negate the previous verdict. Do you have such evidence? (To be continued.) )
