Chapter IV: Solving Cases in Court
After hearing Liu Hua's analysis, Sun Guangshen's eyes lit up, and he glanced at Chen Qinglin: "Chen Zhutou, have you ever checked the gift book of the deceased's family?" How did you come to the conclusion of the twenty-three taels of silver recorded above? ”
"Hmm...... This...... ......After hesitating for a moment, Chen Qinglin glared at Liu Hua, and then he replied with some embarrassment: "Qiyu County Zun, I have seen the gift book, and the gift money recorded on it, except for some scattered silver, most of them are copper coins, and there is indeed no record of five taels of silver for the whole ingot, and the humble ...... The lowly duty is to add up the gifts in the gift book to the conclusion that there are twenty-three taels of silver. ”
"Hmph...... Confused, do you know that you almost caused an unjust case? I'll settle accounts for you when I go back" reprimanded Chen Qinglin, Sun Guangshen turned his gaze to Liu Hua: "This little boy has such strong reasoning ability?" This official admires, so according to your analysis, who is this murderer? ”
Seeing that the county magistrate praised himself, Liu Hua smiled and hugged Sun Guangshen: "Hehe...... The leader has won the award, go back and give me some silver. ”
After saying this, Liu Hua paused, and then continued: "Since the murderer can fight the deceased head-on, and he can also kill the deceased, he doesn't even give the second deceased a chance to call for help.
This shows that the murderer should usually be good at fighting, judging from the fatal wounds on the two deceased, the murderer has some martial arts foundation, and his shots are steady, accurate, ruthless, and clean, which ordinary people can't do.
Just now Chen Zhutou said that most of the gifts received by the deceased are copper coins, which can be converted into twenty-three taels of silver, in addition to those scattered silver, I believe that the number of those copper coins must be a lot, after the murderer stole these copper coins, neither was found by the neighbors around the deceased, nor did he leave a copper coin?
There is only one reason to explain this phenomenon, that is, the murderer's residence is very close to the deceased's home, and the murderer can quickly transfer these copper coins to his own home, and there is another thing, when the deceased and the murderer are fighting, it is said that the surrounding neighbors should be able to hear the movement. ”
After saying this, Liu Hua turned around and came to Li Ming: "Mr. Li, think about it carefully, is there such a person around your parents' house?" He is brave and aggressive, and this person should have fought a lot with people or participated in military service, and knew how to fight.
This person should have no normal source of livelihood in his family, and this person has debts outside and has an urgent need for money, when you get married, he should be there, see the gift money collected by your family, and know that the gift money is not placed in your new house, but in your parents' house. ”
After hearing Liu Hua's words, Li Ming fell into deep thought, and after a few breaths, Li Ming set his eyes on a middle-aged man next to him, not only him, but also those who followed Li Ming.
After feeling everyone's gaze, the middle-aged man looked a little nervous: "You...... What are you all staring at me for? ”
After taking in the man's expression, Li Ming was stunned, and then he slowly turned his head to Liu Hua: "This little boy, the person next to me is in line with what you just said."
His name is Dong Dali, today he came to help me escort the bodies of my parents, so he also came here, he and my parents are neighbors, the two families are only separated by a wall, Dong Dali used to be a soldier, more than ten years ago, when Long Live Lord personally conquered Geerdan, he became a deserter, and then returned to his hometown.
After returning to his hometown, Dong Dali did not do his job, fighting with people all day long, he used some knife skills learned from the army, dared to fight and kill when fighting, and gradually became a little famous.
But he was in debt outside because he was addicted to casinos and clearing buildings, and on the day I got married, considering that I was a neighbor with him, I asked him to help entertain the guests, and after my father drank too much, he also helped send my father back to the room.
By the way, I put the gift money in a box in my parents' room, and he happened to see the process, and I felt that something was wrong with his eyes, and I thought I was dazzled, so I didn't go to my heart, but I didn't expect that he actually killed my parents for the money, and it was him, it must be him, he was the murderer of my parents. ”
Thinking of this, Li Ming rushed towards Dong Dali next to him, and after seeing Li Ming's crazy state, Dong Dali looked very aggrieved: "Lord Qingtian, you have to be the master of the little one."
As the saying goes, catch a thief and catch stolen goods, this is unfounded, how can you put such a big basin on my head? The little one is wronged, and I ask the master of the blue sky to make the decision for the small one. ”
After seeing everything in his eyes, Sun Xianling thought for a while: "Come on, first escort this Dong Dali, and then everyone will follow me to Dong Dali's house to search to see if there is any money stolen from the Li family?"
If the search is fruitless and it proves that Dong Dali was indeed wronged, this matter has nothing to do with everyone, it is my fault, this official personally apologizes to Dong Dali, and makes amends for the crime, if the stolen money is found from Dong Dali's home, he will be directly put into prison and executed after the autumn. ”
More than an hour later, Sun Xianling came to the scene of the crime with the three classes of officials in the county government and many people, Liu Hua was also among these people, everyone first went to the scene of the murder to take a look, and then came to Dong Dali's home.
After careful search by the officials, they turned Dong Dali's residence inside and out, but they didn't find the gift money stolen by the Li family at all, and at this time, everyone stopped their eyes on Liu Hua.
Chen Qinglin came to Liu Hua's side with some sarcasm: "Little detective, the head you just analyzed in the court is Dao, and you directly locked the murderer, and you look confident, why did you come here without saying a word?"
Say, then analyze? The county lord and so many colleagues, all of whom believed your analysis, so they came here with all the people, but after coming here, they didn't find anything, what's going on? Can you continue to help with this analysis? ”
Ignoring Chen Qinglin's cynicism, Liu Hua checked around Dong Dali's home alone, he checked Dong Dali's bedroom from the door, not only did he not let go of the partial room, but even checked the thatched house, but found nothing.
After seeing that Liu Hua got nothing, the smile on Chen Qinglin's face was even worse, just now Liu Hua was in the court, because of the gift money, he was scolded by Sun County, and now he sees Liu Hua making a fool, I don't know why? A surge of excitement rose in his heart.
Liu Hua was not disturbed by the emotions of the outside world, after turning around, he stopped and carefully examined Dong Dali's room, he was empathizing, if he was Dong Dali, then where would he hide the stolen money? Where is the best place to hide? Or is it seen without attracting the attention of others?
While he was contemplating and thinking, a wooden stick next to the courtyard wall of Dong Dali's house attracted Liu Hua's attention, only to see that this wooden stick was about five centimeters in diameter and about one and a half meters long.
Liu Hua walked to the wall, picked up the wooden stick and took a closer look, he found that there were some traces of feces where the wooden stick was stained with soil, and when he saw this, he seemed to think of something?
I saw Liu Hua walking back and forth from the yard with his head down, as if he was looking for something? When Liu Hua came to the side of the thatched house, he finally found what he was looking for, which was a small hole about five centimeters in diameter, and in addition to the loose soil, there was also some feces at the entrance of the hole.
After finding the entrance to the cave, Liu Xiu came to Dong Dali's side and looked at him with a chuckle. When Dong Dali saw Liu Xiu's smile, his face turned a little pale, and he lowered his head with evasive eyes, as if he was avoiding something?
"Dong Dali, the feces on this-stirring stick haven't dried up yet, you should have just used it not long ago, right? I've just checked your hut and found that there are no traces of digging there, and since you haven't dug it, why is this stick stained with dung?
If I'm not mistaken, all the money you stole from Li Baocai's house was hidden in the pit, right? You must have wrapped the money in something and stuffed it into the pit.
When you had done all this, you pressed the package containing the money with this stick, and when the dung in the pit completely covered the package, you simply disguised the hut.
When you come out of the hut, you see the sticks on the dung, so you poke them from the softer ground, wipe the droppings off the sticks from the soil on the ground, and then you put the sticks on the wall, right? ”
After Liu Hua finished speaking, he asked someone to go to the thatched house of Dong Dali's house to excavate the work, and several servants found a few branches from the yard, and then reluctantly entered the thatched house of Dong Dali's house.
After a short time, the officials came out with a package with a branch, and after rinsing the package with water, they found that it was a linoleum cloth with waterproof function, and when one of the officials opened the package, they found that in addition to some loose silver, there were also a large number of copper coins.
In the face of hard facts, Dong Dali confessed his crime, it turned out that he lost a lot of money in the casino some time ago because of his back, and the owner of the casino forced him to repay his debts many times, and gave him the most reckless deadline, saying that if he did not repay the money after the expiration date, he would remove Dong Dali's two arms.
When Dong Dali was thinking about where to get the money, Li Baocai, the next-door neighbor, came to him, saying that when Li Ming got married, he hoped that Dong Dali would help greet the guests.
On the day of Li Ming's wedding, Li Baocai drank too much, so Dong Dali and Li Ming helped Li Baocai back to the room to rest, and at this time, he happened to see that Li Ming would collect those gift money, all in the wooden box in the room of Li Baocai and his wife.
After knowing the deposit of this gift, Dong Dali immediately had a bad idea and wanted to come over at night to steal, and at four or five o'clock in the morning of the next day, Dong Dali climbed over the wall into Li Baocai's home, wanting to use smoke to stun Li Baocai and his wife.
But he didn't expect that when he just came to the window and was about to blow smoke into the room, the door of Li Baocai's room opened by itself, it turned out that Li Baocai had slept for so long and was awakened by urine, and he was going to go to the yard to urinate, but he happened to bump into Dong Dali.
Seeing that his hiding house was broken, Dong Dali knelt down and begged Li Baocai to let him go, not to report the matter to the official, but at this time Li Baocai was stubborn and had to drag Dong Dali to the government.
Seeing Li Baocai holding himself and not sending it, and then thinking of what happened after reporting to the official, Dong Dali suddenly became ruthless, and after getting up, he took out the dagger that he was going to use to pull the deadbolt and stabbed Li Baocai fiercely.
Because Li Baocai has been working all year round and is strong, Dong Dali will not be able to subdue him for a while, but he didn't expect that at this moment, Li Zhang's heard the noise outside and came out of the room.
After seeing Li Zhang's come out, he was worried that she would shout and invite the neighbors, so Dong Dali took advantage of Li Baocai's failure to react, and came to Li Zhang's side and cut the artery in her neck with a dagger.
When Li Zhang fell in a pool of blood, Li Baocai suddenly panicked, at this time, Dong Dali took advantage of Li Baocai's distraction, stabbed him in the heart with a dagger, and after Li Baocai died, Dong Dali hurriedly ran to the house and took out all the gifts collected by the Li family.
After Dong Dali took out those gift money, he wanted to take advantage of the dark night to run back to his house from the door of Li's house, because those copper coins were too heavy, and it was not easy to climb over the wall with these copper coins, but when he opened the door of Li Baocai's house through a crack, he suddenly heard a burst of dog barking outside, and some households actually lit up the lights after hearing the dog barking.
Worried that his whereabouts would be exposed, Dong Dali had to go back to the bottom of the wall, he first tied up the money and threw it into his home, and then found his dagger, briefly dealt with the scene, and then he went home over the wall.
After wrapping up the money stolen by the murderer and hiding it in the toilet, he cleaned up the yard of his house, and after doing all this, Dong Dali went back to the house to sleep, but as soon as the day dawned, there was a matter of Zhang Zhongju begging for a debt and encountering two corpses, if it wasn't for Liu Hua, I'm afraid this Zhang Zhongju would have to be imprisoned unjustly.
After Dong vigorously explained his crime, all the people at the scene admired Liu Hua, and Sun Xianling was about to reward Liu Hua, but then everyone found out that Liu Hua was actually missing.
Looking at the open door of Dong Dali's house, Sun Xianling fell into deep thought, and after a while, he said to the master next to him: "Master Chu, I think that little boy just now, he is smart and thoughtful, although he is still young, he is quite accomplished in solving cases.
You said? Some time ago, the "ghost house case" that caused a deep headache to the people of Futai, can this son be sent over to try? After hearing Sun County's words, the person known as Master Chu also fell into deep thought.
