Chapter 128: Poisoning

Xiao Jiading saw Jiang Dianjiao's sad face, and knew that he was worried that Jiang Zhongyuan was really crazy, so whether Geng Changshi would trouble him, after all, it was something under his management. He patted him on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, and you can already be said to be meticulous in taking care of him." He's going crazy, and no one can stop him, so don't worry. When I report to Geng Changshi, I will tell you about the things you have taken care of, and he shouldn't blame you,"

Jiang Dianjiao was grateful, and even thanked him.

Xiao Jiading came to the prison to inspect, and sure enough, Jiang Zhongyuan was sitting on the ground in the prison and yelling, and he also grabbed a piece of in his hand. It's disgusting to watch.

Xiao Jiading carried Jiang Dianjiao on his back, winked at Jiang Zhongyuan, signaled that he was pretending to be very like, and continued to carry it forward. Jiang Zhongyuan screamed even more and stuffed into his mouth. This kid is still honest and sincere, and he doesn't feel disgusting if he copies the stories he tells.

Leaving the prison, Xiao Jiading immediately came to the yamen of the state capital as a carriage for the yamen, asking to see Tang Lin.

This was the first time he had met Tang Lin alone. Tang Lin knew that he must have something urgent, so he immediately reported it.

Meeting in Tang Lin's study, Tang Lin knew that Xiao Jiading might have something secret to say, so he let the current servant retreat and close the door.

Xiao Jiading said in a low voice: "Jiang Zhongyuan seems to have gone crazy!" ”

Tang Lin was slightly surprised: "What's the matter?" ”

"This morning, the warden came to tell me that he might be insane, yelling in prison like a madman. I went to see it, and I thought it was a little crazy. I'd like to see if it's going to happen. Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, he went even more crazy, and even poured his own feces and urine on his own body, and grabbed the feces and sent it to his mouth, looking like he was crazy. However, the timing of the madness was a little too coincidental. ”

Tang Lin sneered slightly: "Hmm! I haven't gone crazy after being imprisoned for more than half a year, and now I'm going crazy as soon as I try his case? That's a coincidence, isn't it? It must be found out, and he must not be fooled to get by. ”

"It's good, I'll find Lang Zhong for identification right away. However, I heard that Lang Zhong wants to judge whether a person is crazy or not. It takes a while to make observations before it is finalized. Until it is determined whether he is pretending to be crazy or not, I am afraid that he cannot be interrogated. ”

"Well, there's no way to do that, solve this problem first. Find out if he's pretending to be crazy. ”

"Good! The evidence in his case is very strong. Just make sure he's playing crazy. It can be transferred to Kang County Lingshengtang for adjudication immediately. ”

"Hmm!" Tang Lin didn't attach much importance to this case, because it was just a test of whether a law enforcer could really be mighty and unyielding. As far as the case itself is concerned, the level of criminal law is not examined. He hopes that Xiao Jiading will undertake the case. It is mainly the kind of difficult cases that can be used to examine the level of his criminal law, and only such cases can attract the attention of Emperor Li Zhi, who attaches great importance to the law. So Tang Lin asked the question he was most concerned about: "How to improve your popularity?" Do you have any specific ideas? ”

Xiao Jiading had already thought about this question in detail, and replied immediately: "The Yizhou Poetry Festival is about to start, and I will work hard to defeat all the contestants and win the championship, especially to defeat Lu Zhaolin, the first talent in Beijing." I believe that with this record, my fame should soon spread all over the capital. As for the fame in criminal law, I am currently preparing for the poetry society, so I can't spare my hands to carry out this work. However, I have already thought about it, and as soon as the Yizhou Poetry Society is over, I will immediately ask the Kang County Order to take on the task of recording prisoners, and review the cases that have been sentenced by the county government and reported to the police that have not yet been concluded, as well as the cases that have been concluded and sent for execution. In particular, those cases that have been complained of injustice for a long time should first be re-examined. Correcting unjust, false and wrongful cases can quickly create fame, but it is also easy to offend people. Especially offended the Kang County Order. I'm afraid he won't be too supportive of that. ”

Tang Lin said: "Your idea is very targeted, and it is very effective if you do it well." However, it is indeed not suitable to do this kind of thing in your Shaocheng, firstly, it is easy to offend the Kang County Order, and secondly, the cases in your county are limited after all, and the impact will not be great. That's good. As the assassin of Yizhou, Li Wangye has to record the unjust case of imprisonment every spring. At that time, I propose to him that you be transferred to join the prisoners he organized. This is aimed at all counties and state capital yamen in Yizhou, and the importance and influence of the case will be relatively large. If you can find unjust, false and wrongful cases and rehabilitate them, you will directly win the appreciation of Prince Li. That would take our plan a big step forward. ”

"Good! That's the best. Xiao Jiading clapped his palm.

The next day, Xiao Jiading asked the five most famous Lang Zhong in Yizhou City to come and ask them to help check whether Jiang Zhongyuan was really crazy.

This kind of thing is often done by Langzhong, but he is also familiar with it. After discussion, they decided to visit Jiang Zhongyuan in prison from time to time and from time to time. He also demanded that the cell leaders and jailers in charge of supervising Jiang Zhongyuan be replaced, and that their disciples be left to participate in the supervision and observation. Five people said that it is estimated that it will take about half a month.

Xiao Jiading had already gotten the approximate time required for this situation from Du Dayin, and what Lang Zhong said was the same as what Du Dayin said. He also gave Geng Changshi half a month to verify whether the amnesty was granted based on this. The rest of the story is just waiting.

Tang Lin asked him to prepare for the poetry meeting, but for the poetry meeting, Xiao Jiading actually didn't need to prepare anything, and what he had in his stomach were poems that had been passed down through the ages. But he needed to show that he paid attention to this matter, so he found Du Erniu and asked her to find a way to collect all the poems of the previous Yizhou Poetry Society and Lu Zhaolin's poems for himself to study.

This is not a difficult matter, because the Yizhou Poetry Society is a grand event for the entire Yizhou literati, and the poems on it are circulated among the Yizhou literati and writers. At the same time, he asked Mrs. Ji for help in collecting Lu Zhaolin's poems. Because Lu Zhaolin is more famous than first-class poets such as Li Bai and Du Fu, although he was more famous in the early Tang Dynasty, his poems have not been passed down to later generations, and there are relatively few famous articles, so Xiao Jiading's stomach has relatively few of his works. Mrs. Ji's husband turned out to be a scholar of Beijing University, and after Lu Zhaolin won the first place in the Beijing Poetry Society, as the head of the Shaocheng Bailu Poetry Society, Mrs. Ji had already written to her friends in the capital to ask for many of Lu Zhaolin's poems as a reference for the Poetry Society. So this one is all ready-made.

However, things did not give him the leisure to slowly appreciate these poems. Things came back to him.

That night, Xiao Jiading was sleeping with Mei in his arms, and suddenly, Aunt Yuan, the porter and nurse, came to knock on the door, and the personal maid Xiaomei asked about the situation after opening the door, and when she arrived at Xiao Jiading's bedside, she said in a low voice: "Young master, someone from the yamen of the state government said that there is something urgent to see you." ”

In the middle of the night, it must be urgent. Xiao Jiading hurriedly got up, and Crazy Mei also got up, and followed the maid Xiaomei to serve Xiao Jiading and dress.

After getting dressed, Xiao Jiading came out and went to the vestibule. In the lobby, there is a head catcher in a tied coat, who is Lei Xun, the head catcher of the state government yamen. The last time I jointly investigated a serial rape and murder case, I had seen it once in the state capital yamen, and that time Lei Xun did not participate in the investigation of the serial rape and murder case because there were other serious cases to be solved.

Seeing Xiao Jiading coming in, Lei Xun hurriedly got up and said, "Xiao Zhiyi, I'm really sorry to disturb you late at night." ”

"It doesn't matter! Lei Zhutou visited late at night, there must be something urgent, right? ”

"Yes!" Lei Zhutou said in a low voice, "Zhishui Laoni, the criminal of the serial rape and murder case, has just been found poisoned and died in the prison of the state capital yamen!" ”

Xiao Jiading was taken aback. After the case was solved, Kang County Decree quickly handed down the death sentence, and then reported it to the state government yamen for trial in accordance with regulations. The culprit was immediately transferred to the Yamen Prison in the state capital. Unexpectedly, he died in the heavily guarded state capital yamen prison. And it was poisoned.

Xiao Jiading hurriedly said: "What's the matter?" ”

"At night, the guards on death row in the big prison changed their guards and jointly inspected the criminals, and when they found Zhishui lying in a straw pile and moaning incessantly, they asked what was wrong, and she said that her stomach hurt. Because this Zhishui body has martial arts, she locked her pipa bone with an iron chain and tied it to the stone wall, which is inconvenient to untie. Seeing the cold sweat on her face, it didn't seem to be a fraud, so he quickly found Lang Zhong. But when Lang Zhong arrived, Zhishui had already begun to vomit and diarrhea, and soon fell into a coma. After being rescued by Lang Zhong, he still couldn't be saved. We reported it right away. After discussing with Zhong Facao, Tang Sima thought that this case might be the work of the inner ghost of the state capital's yamen, and it was not appropriate for the people of the state government to undertake it. That's why I've come to you. ”

Xiao Jiading understood as soon as he heard it, this was Tang Lin letting himself show his skills again, if he could detect it, of course he would show his face, if he couldn't detect it, it would be a shame. Xiao Jiading knows his own catties and two, and he is good at criminal law, not detection. The last time the serial rape and murder case was detected, it can be said that there was a certain coincidence, and there was a lot of luck in it, and now, I don't know if I have such good luck.

But now that Tang Lin has already ordered the general, even if he has no bottom in his heart, he can only bite the bullet.

After thinking about it again, although I have never done criminal investigation, I have watched a lot of detective film and television dramas and novels, and I also have an understanding of the detection methods, even if I am not professional, it is more clever than the detection methods of the Tang Dynasty 1,500 years ago. Xiao Jiading cheered himself up in his heart, and when he thought about it like this, he felt a little bolder. The last serial rape and murder case, although there was an element of luck, was also based on his correct judgment of the case, and it seems that he still has some reasoning cells.
