Chapter 49: The End of the Song Disperses

The widow gritted her teeth and said, "Liar! It's lying again! You also said earlier that I strangled Pang Yan to intentional homicide, which is a capital crime, and you also framed me for going to Master Zhou's house to kill Pang Yan's wife, which is also a crime of intentional homicide. You don't clearly want to put me to death, but now you are talking about these nice things! You men are liars! ”

Lu Jinping said lightly: "What I said before was just a strategy to keep you from admitting yourself. In fact, I have long known that Pang Yan's death was largely an accident. Because you really love Pang Yan, this can be concluded from a simple fact, -- the first time I came to you to investigate the case, it was the first day you reopened after Pang Yan's death. You said that a few days ago, because there were dead people, you guess no one came, and you also felt unlucky, so it was not open. However, I saw that your eyes were red and swollen, and at first I thought it was a late night, but later, when I recalled the scene I saw from your various signs, I realized that you have been crying for the past few days, and your eyes are crying and swollen. You have covered it up with powder, but you are not completely able to cover up the past. You are sad for him and did not open the door for several days. This shows how deep your feelings are for him. ”

Widow Chang looked at Lu Jinping with wide eyes, as if she couldn't believe his words.

Lu Jinping continued: "I actually know that you didn't go to Zhou's house to kill people. You're not that ruthless, and you can't break into their house alone with a woman to kill the mistress inside, you can't do that. What's more, the third son said that when he saw you come out, he didn't have any murder weapons on him, and if you want to kill someone, you must at least bring a knife. ”

Widow Chang was stunned for a moment, looked at him and said, "But you always said that I deliberately murdered and strangled Pang Yan, and never said that it was an accident, so how can you explain this?" ”

"Actually, I suspected from the beginning that this case was an accidental manslaughter, because the usual method of strangulation is to use a rope to wrap a rope around the erection neck for one or two turns, and then pull hard, instead of using a rope to compress the victim by half of the neck. The bear catcher once said that one possibility was to put his knees on his neck from behind and hold the rope with both hands. However, between two men of comparable physical strength, it is possible to do so. But your opponent is a strong man with a fat and strong body, and your physical strength is far inferior to his, and it is basically impossible for you to strangle him in this way. Therefore, when I heard that he was drunk at your house, I suspected that it was an accident, that he may have been drunk, his neck pressed against the rope, and his negligence caused his death. The autopsy results are consistent with this speculation. Later investigation also proved that he died of accidental manslaughter. According to the Da Ming Law, under normal circumstances, the sentence for manslaughter is very light. There is no need to resist at all. ”

The widow was dumbfounded, and then hissed indignantly: "In that case, why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known, how could I have the heart to kill you! ”

"I was forced to do the same." Lu Jinping sighed, "Although the scope of this case is very small, and I suspect that you did it, I can't produce sufficient evidence." I have to let you admit it. I can only force you to tell the truth if I say that you are murder, and the explanation is actually an accident. In contrast, choosing a de facto misdemeanor is much less serious than what I said, and you should be able to confess the truth, so that the case will be solved without confessing yourself. This is the result I most expected, and I have achieved this result, you confessed so, but I didn't expect you to kill me later. Of course, it can't be said that I didn't expect it at all, because I left my girl lurking outside the window, ready to subdue you, and now it seems that this fear is not groundless, but it still works. ”

Widow Chang stared at Lu Jinping, her stunned eyes gradually turned ferocious, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Liar! You men are liars! Pang Yan is, so is you, this lord! All of them are! Lie to me all of them, I won't believe you, bastard, I won't believe you ......! ”

"Take it away!" The bear catcher waved his hand and commanded.

The widow who was scolding was escorted away, and the winery regained peace.

Lu Jinping walked to the corner, picked up the broken guqin, plucked the strings, and made two sounds, which was indeed a bit like playing cotton. sighed and said: "The mountains and rivers meet the bosom friend, and the widow can be regarded as Pang Yan's bosom friend, but unfortunately, in the end, it is the end of the song that people are scatter......ed."

――――――――――

One morning a few days later.

Lu Jinping was sitting in his own signing room in the medicinal herb warehouse in the yamen of the same state capital, bored with a book flipping through it. At this moment, footsteps were heard at the door.

Then, Luo Justice and Xiong Zhutou appeared at the open door, smiling all over their faces.

Lu Jinping put the book in his hand on the table, stood up and arched his hand: "Meet Judicial Luo!" ”

Luo Zheng hurriedly stepped in, returned the salute, and said with a smile: "Lord Lu, I'm here to tell you good news." Well, it's not necessarily good news, or maybe it's Feng Tingshi's reuse of you, but this isn't very accurate. Or rather, a new errand given to you by Feng Tingshi. - Yes, yes, a new errand. Hehehe"

"Oh, what's the errand?"

Luo Zheng smiled and said: "Last time, it only took one day and one night to solve the case of Zhou Yuanwai's son-in-law Pang Yan being strangled to death by Widow Chang, I didn't expect to be able to solve that case, but I didn't expect you to solve it in such a short time, and it was so beautiful, I listened to Xiong Zhutou tell me what happened before and after, especially that you are very good at autopsy, and found that the real cause of death from the autopsy was the strangulation mark on the neck and not the kick wound on the stomach, so in the end, Feng Tingshi sentenced the widow Chang to homicide, Of course, she wanted to murder you and the bear, and a few of you. And according to the deliberate wounding, the calf was beaten and the board was released. For your unique professional ability in dissecting corpses, Xiong Zhutou and other servants are full of praise, saying that the entire Tongzhou is only afraid that you are the only one, and even those who can dissect in the capital do not have the ability to do this, and it would be a pity if there is no place to use this ability, therefore, I made a suggestion to Feng Tingshi, suggesting that in the future, the murders that occurred in our Tongzhou will be autopsied by you. After listening to my report, Feng Tingshi also praised you a lot, and immediately wrote a comment on my submission with a stroke of his pen, asking you to assist me in investigating the case in the future, and be responsible for the autopsy and injury examination. This is an errand assigned to you by Feng Tingshi personally, which shows that Feng Tingshi attaches great importance to your talents, so I specially came to tell my brother. ”

Lu Jinping couldn't help but be surprised and delighted: "Really? ”

Rosma hurriedly handed over an official document in his hand, which was the trial report he submitted to Feng Tingshi about the murder of Zhou Yuanwai's son-in-law Pang Yan. After Lu Jinping read it, it was really the same as what Luo Judicial said.

Lu Jinping is very happy, now he is just a doctor of medicine from the ninth grade, and the criminal officer of the state government yamen, that is, the judiciary, is a seven-grade official, and he is still a big difference, and he can't be a criminal officer all of a sudden, but he can participate in the investigation of criminal cases, this is already the threshold of entry, and the next step is to rely on his own efforts, he believes that he will climb up step by step, and finally become a criminal officer.

Lu Jinping was happy, but then he remembered that he hadn't invited the two to sit down for tea, so he hurriedly beckoned the two of them to sit down and beckoned the attendants of the medical hall to come in and make tea.

Luo Juyi also sat down on the couch unceremoniously, but Xiong Zhutou did not sit, just stood beside him and bowed down. Lu Jinping was a little strange: "Why don't you sit?" Xiong Zhutou hurriedly chuckled his waist and said, "In front of the two adults, how can there be a villain's seat?" ”

Lu Jinping frowned and said, "What an adult or a villain, Feng Tingshi is an adult, we are all villains, ah no, we are all ordinary people." Alright, sit down, I feel tired from standing there, so tall as a wall, half of the light is blocked by you. ”

As soon as he heard this, Xiong Zhutou smiled dryly, but he still didn't sit down, but his eyes looked at Luo Justice.

Because Luo Judicial is from the seventh grade, and his official rank is much higher than Lu Jinping, although he is in Lu Jinping's medicinal material warehouse to sign the detention room, he still has to listen to the greeting of Luo Justice.

Luo Zhengyi smiled and nodded, "Lord Lu asked you to sit, why don't you sit down quickly?" Don't you listen to what the lord says? ”

Xiong Zhutou thanked him for this, and only sat on half of his buttocks, supporting his legs, respectfully.
