After listening to the cry of the bitter master Li Ming, Sun Guangshen turned his gaze to the defendant Zhang Zhongju again: "Zhang Zhongju, you should have heard more of Li Ming's words just now, this county asks you, why did you kill Li Baocai and his wife?" ”

"Lord County Commander, Xiaosheng is really wronged, the cause of death of Li Baocai and his wife has nothing to do with Xiaosheng." Seeing that the county magistrate had asked a question to himself, Zhang Zhongju, who was kneeling on the side and trembling, hurriedly shouted that he was wronged.

Then, Zhang Zhongju said today's things again, it turned out that Li Baocai had borrowed two taels of silver from Zhang Zhongju's house a year ago, and he had not repaid it, and Zhang Zhongju was going to take the government examination two months later, wanting to obtain the identity of a child.

Considering that Li Baocai's son had just gotten married, the family must have received a lot of gifts, so Zhang Zhongju took the IOU that Li Baocai had made at the beginning and went to Li Baocai's house to ask for the debt.

When he rushed to the door of Li Baocai's house, he found that the door of Li's house was hidden, he shouted twice at the door, but no one answered, and in confusion, Zhang Zhongju pushed the door in.

When he entered the courtyard, he was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him, I don't know why? The bodies of Li Baocai and his wife both fell in a pool of blood, and after coming back to his senses, Zhang Zhongju wanted to inform the government of the matter.

But when he left Li Baocai's gate, he changed his mind again, and Zhang Zhongju was worried that this matter would cause trouble, and if it was not handled properly, it would affect his future fame.

After looking around and seeing that there was no one around, Zhang Zhongju went home in a panic, but he didn't expect that the scene when he left in a panic happened to be seen by Li Ming and his wife, and when Li Ming and his wife found out that Li Baocai and his wife were killed, they immediately reported to the official, Chen Zhutou, who was in charge of the case, and arrested Zhang Zhongju to the county government according to the clues provided by Li Ming.

After listening to Zhang Zhongju's defense, Li Ming accused Zhang Zhongju of lying, saying that Li Baocai was killed by him, and Zhang Zhongju took out the IOU that Li Baocai had made from his arms to prove that he had not lied just now.

Seeing that the two of them were getting more and more noisy, Sun County Ling slapped the two of them in shock, making the two of them calm down, and then he turned his gaze to Chen Zhutou: "Chen Zhutou, this case happened early this morning, and now it is afternoon, in the middle of this time, have you found any clues?" ”

Chen Zhutou's name is Chen Qinglin, he is forty-eight years old this year, he has been a head catcher for more than 20 years, and he can be regarded as well-informed, because there is no grade in head catcher, so Chen Qinglin does not plan to be promoted to this position, his biggest wish is to be able to retire safely.

Hearing Sun Guangshen's question at this moment, Chen Zhutou stood up and replied: "Lord Qiyu, after leading people to Li Baocai's house, he sent someone to inspect the deceased's residence while ordering the body of the deceased to be examined.

The female deceased had three wounds on his body, one on his left shoulder and one on his right wrist, and the fatal wounds were in the heart, and the deceased died because he was stabbed in the heart by a sharp weapon and his internal organs were ruptured.

According to the examination, the time when the two deceased died was around midnight, and Zhang Zhongju was found to have left the deceased's home around midnight, and the difference between the two was about an hour, so Zhang Zhongju was suspected of committing a major crime.

After our careful examination, we found that the gift money received by the deceased yesterday was gone, according to the record in the gift book, the gift money stolen from the deceased's home was about twenty-three taels of silver, this money, for Zhang Zhongju, who was in urgent need of entanglement, must be full of fatal **, I guess this is his motive for killing people and stealing silver.

When I took someone to Zhang Zhongju's house to arrest him, in his desk, I found two ingots of silver, a total of ten taels, this is the evidence, he is a poor scholar who is busy messing around, where did he get so much silver? It must have been that he had separated the stolen silver and hid it. ”

After Chen Zhutou finished analyzing, all the people on the scene nodded thoughtfully, and Sun Guangshen also fell into thought, seeing this, Zhang Zhongju hurriedly shouted: "Lord County Order, Xiaosheng is wronged, the ten taels of silver are the entanglement provided by Xiaosheng's father, that is the marriage money that his old man has accumulated for Xiaosheng, if you don't believe it, you can ask Xiaosheng's father, Lord County Order, please be sure to be aware of everything, and give Xiaosheng a fair deal." ”

"Hmph...... It's just full of nonsense, how can your father's testimony be convincing as your relative? Now that there are human and material evidence, you still dare to quibble, you really don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin. After saying this, the angry Chen Qinglin bowed his hand to Sun Guangshen, who was sitting at the top:

"Lord County, this thief has committed a great crime but still does not repent, and he still denies it in every possible way in the face of ironclad evidence, and he humbly requests that he be punished, and I believe that after the punishment, this thief will definitely confess."

"Slow down, this case is not Zhang Zhongju's doing, leaders...... Wrong...... It should be all the adults, don't rush to torture to extract confessions, lest you wronged good people. After Chen Qinglin's words fell, Liu Hua hurriedly spoke out to stop the other party from using torture.

After Liu Hua's words fell, all the people at the scene turned their eyes to him, and when everyone saw that Liu Hua was just a teenager and his clothes were dirty, they were all a little unimpressed.

Especially Chen Qinglin, he glanced at Liu Hua, and then said with a fierce face: "Where did you come from?" Mao has not yet grown up, but he dares to run to this court and roar indiscriminately, thinking that you are young and ignorant, hurry up and leave quickly, otherwise, this head catcher will definitely let you eat a board. ”

"Cut...... Do you really use Lao Tzu as a little doll? When Lao Tzu was a policeman, you didn't know how to bury your head from that Gada? After complaining in his heart, Liu Hua stood up and walked slowly to the court.

He didn't know how to say hello to everyone? I have the heart to learn the ways played on TV to greet everyone, but the ways of greeting on TV all have to kowtow and kneel, and Liu Hua doesn't like this action, so after pondering for a while, he greeted everyone in the way of greeting people in his previous life.

I saw Liu Hua come to the front of Sun Guangshen, the county grandfather, and in Sun Guangshen's surprised expression, he stretched out his hands and shook hands with him: "The leader is good, the leader has worked hard." After shaking hands with Sun Guangshen, Liu Hua shook hands with all the county officials in the court in the same way.

After greeting him, Liu Hua walked straight to the two corpses, and after lifting the white cloth covering the corpses, he squatted down and carefully investigated the wounds on the corpses.

The people in the court just now were all stunned by Liu Xiu's way of greeting, and when everyone came back to their senses, they found that Liu Xiu was squatting on the ground and fiddling with the corpse, so Chen Qinglin wanted to scold Liu Hua.

But as soon as he wanted to open his mouth, Sun Guangshen above the main hall glanced at him and signaled him not to interrupt Liu Hua for the time being.

After carefully inspecting the corpse, Liu Hua stood up and pondered for a while, and then slowly looked at everyone: "Based on the stiffness of the body's meridians and the degree of blood clotting, I conclude that the two deceased were killed at about five o'clock in the morning today.

Oh, what I said about five o'clock is what everyone refers to around the hour, and the son of the deceased found Zhang Zhongju leaving the scene in a panic at about seven o'clock in the morning.

There was an interval of about two hours, well, what, two hours refers to an hour, which is also an adjective that I invented myself, so don't be surprised.

Let's imagine, if Zhang Zhongju is really the murderer, why did he delay from the scene for two hours? These two hours were enough for him to find the money in the deceased's house and deal with the scene.

If Zhang Zhongju was a murderer, then why didn't he take advantage of the quiet night to escape, and had to wait until dawn to go home? Why didn't the scene be hidden? There is only one reason, he is wronged.

Also, just now this Chen Zhutou said that two ingots of silver were found in Zhang Zhongju's house, as many as ten taels, and he suspected that these two ingots of silver were one of the gifts stolen from the deceased's home, but what I want to tell you is that it is precisely these two ingots of silver that prove Zhang Zhongju's innocence, and it is these two ingots of silver that show that the murderer is not Zhang Zhongju.

Let's imagine that although the gift money stolen by the deceased is as much as 23 taels, I believe that those relatives and friends who come to eat the banquet will definitely leave a different amount of gift money according to their distance from the deceased's family, which means that the gift money worth 23 taels of silver collected by the deceased should be converted by those relatives and friends with copper coins and silver.

I judged that in the deceased's gift book, it is impossible to record the names of relatives and friends who left five taels of silver ingots, and there are still two, because I have heard people say before that the main currency in circulation here is copper coins, and broken silver is rare, let alone a whole ingot of silver, even if there is, I think the other party is reluctant to take it with him, right?

Also, Zhang Zhongju had an IOU issued by the deceased before his death, and he knew that the deceased had the ability to repay his debts, so why did he kill the deceased? Besides, he is bent on gaining fame, how can he destroy his life for this little money? Isn't he digging his own grave in doing so?

The fingernails of the two deceased were stained with mud, and the male deceased's shoulders were thick and strong, and the arm muscles were strong and strong, which shows that he worked a lot during his lifetime, and he did some hard work, so his physical fitness was so strong.

However, the male deceased had three wounds on his body, one on the shoulder and the other on the wrist, which indicates that the deceased had fought back and fought with the murderer before he was killed, but he was killed because he couldn't beat the other party.

Let's look at the physique of this scholar, his body is thin, his arms are weak, his hands can't be lifted, and his shoulders can't be picked, will such a weak scholar be the deceased or an opponent? Does he have what it takes to fight the dead and kill them? ”
