Shi Jingsheng said: "Because I was scared at that time, he could kill my father and kill me. I will shout at the door, and he will rush out and give me another knife, who will redress my father's grievances? Moreover, I am not sure whether my father is still saved or not, but at that time, I just saw that he was seriously injured, and maybe there was a miracle doctor who could save his life, so I quickly did not go home and came to Langzhong to check. Lang Zhong said that my father was no longer saved, so I reported it to the official. ”

"Which Langzhong did you invite?" Lu Jinping said.

"It's the Lang Zhong in front of our house. His pharmacy is in the alley not far from my house. ”

"You carried your father home from the gate of the courtyard of the butcher's house, and did anyone see him on this way?"

Qu Butcher shook his head and said, "There is no one, it was already midnight at that time, and there was no one outside, and I was walking in the alley, and their house was not far from my house." ”

Lu Jinping thought for a while and said, "Okay, you take me to the scene now." I want you to repeat the scene on the spot, show how you carried him home, and re-enact the whole story for me, -- from which way did you go back? Where will the body be placed when you get home? Then call the Lang Zhong you said over, I have something to ask him. ”

Shi Jingsheng hurriedly agreed. So Lu Jinping ordered to prepare the horse, Yunzi listened without saying a word, and when Shi Jingsheng was far away from them, Yunzi whispered to Lu Jinping: "Brother, I think there is something wrong here." ”

"What's wrong?"

"The old man, he was struck in the head with an axe, and from what he had just said, the axe was stuck in his skull and could not be pulled out, so he took out his pig-killing knife and stabbed him in the temple. I wonder how an old man can have such a strong vitality. ”

Lu Jinping shook his head and said: "The human body is full of magic, and there are many unknown mysteries in it. For example, the body's reaction to a fatal injury. Many people will die on the spot after suffering a fatal blow, but some people are different, some individuals with special constitutions, or some people. Even if he is mortally wounded, he can walk a long distance, or survive for a while before dying. I've come across this more than once. ”

Yunzi said: "I have also seen the situation you mentioned, and I was shot in the head with an arrow. I've seen it too, but I'm talking about an old man. The murderer struck his forehead with an axe, and the butcher looked so powerful, and the axe cut off half of his head, and he was cut in, how could he stand still? So I think it's a little strange, and if you want to change it to the battlefield, it's not strange. ”

Lu Jinping heard him say this, nodded slowly and said, "From this point of view, your analysis is really puzzling. ”

As soon as he heard that his speculation had been approved by Lu Jinping, Yunzi was very happy. "Isn't it?" He, an old man, had received such a heavy axe on his forehead, how could he still stand tall and wait for the other party to stab him a second time, it was really strange. ”

Lu Jinping shook his head and said: "What I'm strange about is not this, but the axe he said was cut on his forehead, he said that the knife was stuck in the deceased's forehead at that time and couldn't be pulled out, but. This is inconsistent with the autopsy. ”

Lu Jinping took the scrolls on several cases, turned one of the pages, it was the autopsy report, pointed to the line on it and said: "The corpse grid filled in after the examination of the corpse recorded this wound on his head. Judging from the records, it did cause linear fractures, but the depth of the wound was only half an inch, and the seized axe was very large and heavy. Such an axe, such a deep slash on the forehead, it is indeed possible to clamp the axe blade, but this butcher is to kill cattle and pigs, from the previous experience that his mother said on the execution ground, he followed his father to kill cattle when he was young, without blinking his eyes, his father also sighed that there is a successor, it can be seen that he has been praised by his father with the body of a young man, his strength is indeed amazing, with his so strong strength, how can a knife and axe that is not deep in the skull be pulled out? If he can't pull it out, then what about him cutting cow bones and pig bones? Isn't that all stuck in the bones and can't be pulled out? ”

Yun Zi stretched out his slender hand and gestured, looked at the axe in the physical evidence box, nodded and said: "That's true, this aconite is very heavy, just its own weight, cut at the human skull is half an inch deep, it doesn't take a lot of strength to pull it out, how can a butcher not pull it out?" It's really puzzling. ”

Lu Jinping said: "There is another possibility, that is, the murderer Shi Jingsheng saw his father being hacked to death with his own eyes, and in his heartbreak, he may have exaggerated and unconscious distortions of certain things, which is a natural phenomenon and is relatively common, that is, he may not have seen the butcher cut off the forehead of the deceased with an axe, which is a subconscious imagination depicted by the scene, which is actually inconsistent with reality, this detail is inconsistent with the autopsy, and cannot overturn the authenticity of the entire testimony." ”

At this time, the attendant reported that it was ready. At that moment, Lu Jinping came out with Yunzi, Lu Jinping took a car, Yunzi rode a horse, Shi Jingsheng followed Xiong Zhutou on foot, hugged him out of the yamen, and went straight to the house of the murderer Qu Butcher.

The judicial lord of Tongzhou stopped the execution, and this matter has become a household name in Tongzhou, so many people gathered outside the yamen to wait to see the excitement. Seeing that Lu Jinping really led the people of the People's Brigade to investigate the case, he followed behind with a lively bang, but when he arrived in the alley, Lu Jinping ordered the attendants to disperse all the people who watched the excitement, and they were not allowed to stay nearby, which would affect the investigation of the case. So these people who watched the excitement watched from afar and saw nothing for a while, and they dispersed.

Lu Jinping and Yunzi took Shi Jingsheng to the gate of the courtyard of Qu Butcher's house, because Qu Butcher lived here alone before, and his mother was in the countryside, and after he was arrested at this moment, the house was sealed, and now the seal on the door has not been torn off, and Lu Jinping does not plan to go in to investigate, but at the door. He called Shi Jingsheng over and said, "What was the situation at that time? You make a comparison and be as accurate as possible. ”

So Shi Jingsheng made a gesture, first talking about the position where he was hiding, and then saying that he saw how his father was slashed in the forehead with an axe, stabbed into the temple, and fell at the door. Then he gestured and said how he carried his father home, he went all the way along the alley to the door of their house, Lu Jinping and the people with Yunzi and the bear catcher followed, sure enough, it was an alley, relatively hidden, until they reached their house, the two families were hundreds of steps apart.

When I arrived at the door of Shi Jingsheng's house, I saw many people wearing linen and filial piety at the door, and when I saw the official man coming, I hurriedly bowed down and stood with my hands down, although I wanted to speak, but no one dared to ask.

According to Lu Jinping's explanation, Xiong Zhutou took someone to follow Shi Jingsheng to call Lang Zhong, who had called to treat his father that night, to inquire. Lang Zhong said that when he came, Shi Jingsheng's father was hit by an axe in the forehead and stabbed in the temple. Both were fatal wounds, each of which could have caused the deceased to die on the spot, and he couldn't explain why his father didn't fall at that time.

Lu Jinping asked Lang Zhong: "Did you see any other injuries on your body at that time, except for the two scars on your forehead and temples?" ”

Lang Zhong thought for a moment and said, "There are a few scratches on the forehead, just near the wound from the axe. ”

This is not recorded on the corpse of the Yamen, Lu Jinping couldn't help but move in his heart, and said: "Think about it carefully, where is the specific location?" Let's take a look. ”

Lang Zhong pointed to his forehead, signaling the location of the axe cut at that time, and then pointed out the location of several scratches.

Lu Jinping looked at Shi Jingsheng on the side and said, "Has your father been injured on his forehead before?" Have you ever been cut with a knife? ”

Shi Jingsheng thought about it and shook his head and said, "I don't remember, it shouldn't be, is Lang Zhong wrong?" ”

When Lang Zhong heard this, he said with a straight face: "Will I be wrong about this matter?" Joke, I've been treating people for more than 30 years, can't I see if there's an injury? ”

Indeed, if you use the existence of such a superficial injury to doubt whether a Lang Zhong is wrong? It was simply an insult to Lang Zhong, no wonder Lang Zhong was so angry.

Shi Jingsheng asked Lang Zhong and said, "I'll just say it casually, I can't be so anxious!" ”

Lu Jinping said to Shi Jingsheng: "I have something to ask your family, you lend me a room, I have to ask one by one, and the others are waiting in the courtyard before they ask, and they are not allowed to talk to each other." Shi Jingsheng hurriedly agreed, summoned the whole family to the courtyard to wait, and under the surveillance of the arrester, they entered the house one by one to be interrogated by Lu Jinping.

There was only one central topic of Lu Jinping's interrogation, and that was the events of that night.

After they explained from their own perspectives, there were no particularly major contradictions and doubts between them, and in general, these people only heard Shi Jingsheng's cries and cries for help. They rushed to Shi Jingsheng's room and found his father lying on the ground covered in blood, so they hurriedly asked what was going on? Only then did Shi Jingsheng tell what happened, saying that his father was killed by the butcher, he carried the person back, and hurried to call Lang Zhong to see if he was still saved.

The situation that Shi Jingsheng's family said could be consistent with each other, proving that this was indeed the case at that time.

After Lu Jinping finished asking, he took out the cotton swab he made himself, and extracted Shi Jingsheng's intraoral mucosal swab, ready for the next test.

Afterwards, Lu Jinping left Shi Jingsheng's house with people.

On the way back, Yunzi asked him if he had found any clues? Lu Jinping lowered his voice and said, "At night, I have to come to investigate, you can accompany me." ”

Lu Jinping actually took the initiative to invite herself to accompany her to investigate the case, Yunzi couldn't help but be overjoyed, and nodded busily in agreement. (To be continued.) )
