In addition to the jewelry in the box, the errand who went to search also brought over the toolbox of Niu Da, and the axe in the toolbox attracted Li Yuntian's attention. I'll tell you that the fastest update of the novel is the eye. Hurry?

The axe is an essential tool for carpenters, and this ox-sized axe is somewhat unusual in that the back end of the blade is a round iron head instead of the usual rectangular iron head.

Looking at the axe, a smile appeared at the corner of Li Yuntian's mouth, and he walked over and whispered a few words in Qi Wanlong's ear, hearing Qi Wanlong nodding again and again, and a flower bloomed on his face.

Subsequently, Qi Wanlong set up a public hall in the reception hall of the Gao family to try the case of the unknown female corpse, and Li Yuntian, Cui Hui and Feng Kui sat on the side for a jury.

The first to be escorted up was Niu Da, a sturdy man of medium stature, who did not know that the county officials had searched for Chunhua's jewelry from his house, and knelt in front of the hall with anxiety, his eyes flashing, and he looked very nervous.

"Niu Da, tell me honestly, who instructed you to throw the corpse?" Qi Wanlong first greeted Li Yuntian, Cui Hui and Feng Kui who were present, and then slapped the shocked wood hard, and asked in a deep voice.

"Big ...... Adults, small ones have always been law-abiding, I don't know what you're talking about? The bull, who was thinking wildly, was startled and stammered in denial.

"Niu Da, do you think what you are doing is unaware?" Qi Wanlong sneered and shouted at the official in front of the hall, "Bring the things up and let him see them." ”

When a servant heard this, he immediately took the box he had found from Niu Da to Niu Da, opened the lid and showed him the jewelry in the box.

After seeing the box, Niu Da's face turned pale in an instant, and his eyes were full of panic.

"Niu Da, the matter has come to this, do you still want the official to say more?" Qi Wanlong looked at Niu Da coldly, "Who are these jewelry, I believe you know better than this official!" ”

"Adult, the small moves, the small full moves, the second young master asked the little ones to do it." Niu Da's face changed a few times, he suddenly threw himself on the ground and touched his head to the ground, and said loudly, "The second young master tried to rape Chunhua after drinking, but Chunhua resisted, so he strangled Chunhua to death, and let the little one take advantage of the county town to buy goods, put them in boxes and throw corpses." ”

"Do you have any evidence that the second young master asked you to do it?" When Qi Wanlong heard this, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and asked quietly, "Where did you take the corpse?" ”

"My lord, the second young master gave the jade pendant to the little one in order to buy the little one, and the little one hid it where the little one was good." Hearing this, Niu Da hurriedly said, "The little one threw Chunhua's body into a pond, and after a long time, she turned into dry bones, so no one knew who she was." ”

"Which pond?" Qi Wanlong suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked quietly.

"It's the one on the edge of Wang Xiucai's village, the female corpse in the pond is a spring flower, and the stones in the sack are put in by the small one." Niu Da didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, and replied one by one.

After interrogating Niu Da, Qi Wanlong asked him to sign and draw the charge, and then passed on the second son of the high school.

The second son of the high school saw Niu Da kneeling there dejectedly, knowing that things were not good, he denied it, and after the messenger retrieved the jade pendant he bribed Niu Da to throw the corpse from Niu Da's friend, the whole person was immediately deflated, poured beans from the bamboo tube, and honestly explained the incident.

It turned out that he drank too much at noon half a year ago, and inadvertently came to the small courtyard where the third lady of the Gao family lived, and happened to see the spring flowers watering in the yard.

Unexpectedly, Chunhua was a fierce girl, resolutely refused, and shouted for help, which made him nervous, so he grabbed Chunhua's neck with both hands to make her unable to speak, until Chunhua was silent, he realized that he had strangled Chunhua to death, and the wine suddenly woke up more than half.

The movement in the wing room alarmed the third lady of the Gao family, and when she opened the door, she saw Huang Hua lying on the ground silently, and the second son of Gao sat on the side with a pale face, and immediately understood what was going on.

The second son of the high school knelt in front of the third miss of the Gao family crying bitterly, begging her to save his life and kill to pay for his life, he didn't want to die so early, so the third miss of the Gao family softened his heart and promised to help him keep it secret.

So the second son of Gao found Niu Da and asked him to dispose of Chunhua's body, and then made up a reason why Chunhua ran away with the merchant to tell Mrs. Gao, and concealed Chunhua's disappearance, God knows where the out-of-town merchant ran away.

"Are you sure you strangled Chunhua?" After listening to the confession of the second son of high school, Qi Wanlong asked quietly.

"The little one drank too much at the time, and just wanted to keep her from screaming and alarming others, not really trying to kill her." The second son of the high school nodded, and kowtowed to Qi Wanlong again and again, "Please be gracious, please be gracious." ”

"Niu Da, what he said is the truth, Chunhua was strangled to death by him?" Qi Wanlong ignored the second son of the high school, and asked Niu Da who was kneeling beside him in a deep voice.

"Chunhua was strangled to death by him, and the small one can testify." The cow nodded busily.

Qi Wanlong sneered, and asked the second son of the high school and Niu Da to sign the testimony just now.

Li Yuntian drank the boiled water in the cup slowly, as if he was tasting a good tea, the trajectory of things was developing according to his expectations, and this case could finally come to an end.

The only regret is that the case was solved too quickly, if only it could be delayed for a few more days, and in three days it will be Long Ye's fiftieth birthday, and it will also be his thunderous blow to Long Ye.

However, anyway, it was only three days, and he found a way to stay in Ruichang County, and the three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Cui Hui looked at Li Yuntian, who was sitting leisurely, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and a vicious look flashed in his eyes.

"Bold Niuda, truthfully recruited, how did you insult Chunhua and commit murder?" After the third lady of the Gao family also signed the confession, Qi Wanlong slapped the shocked wood and shouted at the cow kneeling there.

Hearing this, Niu Da raised his head and looked at Qi Wanlong with a stunned expression, and the people at the scene also looked at him curiously, not knowing which one Qi Wanlong was singing, wasn't Chunhua strangled to death by the second son of high school?

"Lord County, the little one doesn't understand what you mean, the little one is just responsible for throwing the corpse, and Chunhua's death has nothing to do with the small one." Niu Da's face was blue and white for a while, and he opened his mouth to defend.

If the body is thrown, Niu Da will not be sentenced to death; But if he kills a murderer, then the murderer will pay for his life, and he will surely die.

"Spread the word!" Seeing Niu Da quibbling, Qi Wanlong sneered and gave an order.

"Zuo, this official asked you, why did the female corpse in the pond die?" Waiting for the work to be passed up, Qi Wanlong asked in a deep voice.

"Lord Yuzhi County, the little one has carefully examined it, and the fatal wound of the female corpse is on the head, and she was injured by someone with a blunt object and died." He replied in a loud voice.

"How do you know for sure that she was hit with a blunt object before she died, and not after she died?" Qi Wanlong glanced at Niu Da, whose face was becoming more and more ugly, and continued to ask.

"Lord Qiqi, the wounds when people are killed before or after death are different, the little one has been studying autopsy with the master since he was a child, and according to the situation of the wound on the forehead of the female corpse, it can be judged that the female corpse was hit by a blunt object before death." He replied confidently.

"Niu Da, Chunhua was just stunned at the time, and woke up after the bumps on the road, you coveted Chunhua's beauty and raped her, and you were afraid that Chunhua would denounce you, so you stoned her to death and threw her body into the pond!"

Qi Wanlong asked people to take out the axe from Niu Da's toolbox, and looked at him with a sneer, "This axe is the murder weapon, if the official is not mistaken, the round head at the top of its axe blade matches the dented wound on Chunhua's head!" ”

Niu Da looked at the axe, his face was bloodless with fright, and he trembled all over, Qi Wanlong said exactly what happened at the time of the crime, as if Qi Wanlong had witnessed it with his own eyes.

As Qi Wanlong said, when Niu Da drove the carriage to the vicinity of the pond to throw the corpse, he accidentally found that the spring flower in the box woke up.

This is why Chunhua's corpse was naked, which also exposed Niu Da's bestiality, which made Li Yuntian speculate about the scene at that time.

"Niu Da, so far, do you want the official to punish you?" Seeing that Niu Da was frozen there, Qi Wanlong slapped the startled wood heavily and shouted in a deep voice.

"Big ...... Big...... Adult, small ...... Small confession, spring flowers are...... It's a small kill, please open it for an adult...... Mercy! Niu Da was already in a mess at this time, his mind was blank, and he stammered and begged for mercy while kowtowing to Qi Wanlong.

When Qi Wanlong heard this, the corners of his mouth suddenly showed a smug smile, he had never imagined before that he could force the murderer to admit his guilt without using torture and relying on evidence alone, and he was also a repeat murderer.

None of the people present expected that there was such a hidden secret in the Chunhua case, and they were all surprised, especially the people of the Gao family, who couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, which meant that the charges of the second son of the high school and the third miss of the Gao family were undoubtedly much lighter.

Sure enough, after Niu Da signed and confessed to his crime of raping and killing Chunhua, Qi Wanlong sentenced him to hang; The second son of high school was convicted of negligent wounding, sentenced to 50 canes, and sentenced to seven years in prison; As for the third lady of the Gao family, she was sentenced to 30 strokes of the palm of her hand on the grounds of her young age, and then ordered her father to take strict care of her, and if she committed any more crimes, she would be punished together.

At the same time, the Gao family compensated Chunhua's mother's family with 200 taels of silver as the pension money for Chunhua's parents.

For Qi Wanlong's punishment, the Gao family and Chunhuaniang's family were very surprised, but they were all convinced: the Gao family never thought that the second son of the high school could escape, nor did they expect that the third miss of the Gao family could be opened by the net, and the family of Chunhuaniang not only asked for justice but also a lot of compensation.

Of course, Old Lady Gao knew very well that this "everyone was happy" verdict must be the result of Li Yuntian's maneuvering, and Qi Wanlong had never had such a warm side.

"Lord Patrol, I don't know if it's safe for the lower officials to make such a judgment?" After reading the verdict, Qi Wanlong smiled and asked Cui Hui, who was sitting in the hall, that if Cui Hui had no opinion, then the verdict would take effect.

"The context of this case is clear, the human and material evidence are all there, and Qizhi County is reasonable." Cui Hui nodded when he heard this, and greatly appreciated Qi Wanlong's verdict, and then, his tone changed, glanced at the people at the scene, and said in a deep voice, "Since this case is over, then the patrol will try the next case!" ”

"The next case?" The people in the hall couldn't help but be taken aback, and looked at Cui Hui in surprise, they had never heard Cui Hui mention that he still had a case to handle this time.

Li Yuntian's heart felt a flustered for no reason, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at Cui Hui quietly, he felt that Cui Hui came a little strange this time, and he really had another purpose.

"Li Zhixian, are you guilty?" Under the gaze of everyone, Cui Hui's gaze fell on Li Yuntian's body, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, and his voice asked coldly. One
