Chapter 49 A case within a case

The county government issued a notice yesterday that the case of killing his wife was openly tried today, and when he arrived, many people gathered outside the hall of the county government to watch.

It is said that there are always a few vicious criminal cases in Gaochun County every year, why does this case attract people's attention? There are good deeds, according to the comments of people on the street, summed up a few points. First, the main culprit in this case, Li Dayou, is a well-known craftsman, who is usually loyal and honest, and even committed homicide, which is beyond people's expectations; Second, the deceased in this case, Li Dayou's wife Jiang, was lustful by nature and did not abide by women's morals. Third, some people are interested in some doubts about this case and want to see what is going on; Of course, there are some people who are purely professional spectators, and they have to watch every time the county government tries a case.

Among the onlookers, there is a special spectator, who is our protagonist Han Fei. The reason why he came here was not because he was concerned about the case, but because he was interested in the criminal Li Dayou. Li Dayou is an excellent carver, and he is exactly the person he needs. Although all the human and physical evidence was against Lee, his sixth sense told him that the case might be reversed.

Gao Chunzhi County's decision to conduct a public trial is inseparable from the fact that the case has been hotly discussed by the people, but the main thing is that the facts of the case seem to be simple and clear. The culprit was arrested on the spot, and the scene was full of human and material evidence, and in his opinion, the open trial of this case was an opportunity to highlight his ability.

As soon as the hour passed, the four doors of the county government hall were opened, several officials stood at the door to maintain order, and two classes of officials in the hall stood on both sides with water and fire sticks in their hands. After a while, the cold wind in the county was in front and the master was behind, and he walked into the lobby.

After Leng Feng sat on the long case, he picked up the startling wood and patted it, and shouted: "Ascend to the hall!" ”

"Might---" The two classes of officials shouted in unison.

Leng Feng slapped the shocked wood again, and shouted: "The culprit Li Dayou!" ”

After receiving the order, the two officials walked out of the lobby quickly, and not long after, a middle-aged man wearing shackles entered the lobby.

Only then did Han Fei see the legendary craftsman Li Dayou clearly, and saw that he was about forty years old, his face was terrified, and his eyes had a faint sadness of resignation. Although Han Fei didn't know how to meet, he consciously felt that this person didn't look like a vicious murderer.

The magistrate in the lobby shouted: "Who is kneeling in the hall? ”

Li Dayou fell to the ground and replied tremblingly: "Grass people Li Dayou! ”

"Criminal, Li Dayou, there are eyewitnesses who have pointed out that you are suspected of murdering your wife Li Zhengshi, can you be punished?"

"Your Excellency, the grass people, the grass people...... Convicted! ”

Zhixian Leng Feng heard Li Dayou admit the crime, his expression was relaxed, and he shouted: "Criminal, Li Dayou, quickly confess the story of your murder of your wife Li Zheng!" ”

"Your Excellency......" Li Dayou looked miserable, fell to the ground, and shouted loudly: "My lord, the grass people did not have the intention of killing their wives, the grass people came back from the printing shop at night, and saw that their wives were not in the house, so they planned to burn some food by themselves, and the grass people went to the firewood room to go to the firewood with the lamp, and accidentally fell down and lit the firewood, and the firewood house was soon engulfed in flames, and the grass people shouted loudly to the neighbors to rescue, but it was too late, and the result was ...... The grass people really don't know that their wives are in the firewood room! ”

"Nonsense! Li Dayou, at this time, is he still trying to quibble? The cold wind of the county was shocked, and he reprimanded sharply: "The criminal Li Dayou, quickly and truthfully confess his crimes, so as not to suffer from the flesh and skin!" ”

"My lord, the grass people really don't have the intention of killing their wives!"

The magistrate glanced at Li Dayou coldly, and shouted: "Bring someone to the court!" ”

"Caomin Li honestly greets Lord Qingtian!" An honest middle-aged man was taken to the hall by the officials and knelt in the middle of the hall.

Zhixian Leng Feng asked Li honestly with a serious expression: "What is the relationship between you and the criminal Li Dayou, and did you witness the scene of the crime?" ”

On the night of the incident, the grass people heard Li Dayou's shouts and rushed to Li's house to put out the fire with other Lingju. At that time, the fire was too fierce, and although the neighbors tried their best to rescue it, the Li family's firewood house still burned down. After the fire was extinguished, everyone found Lee's body in the fire. ”

"Li Laoshi, as Li Dayou's neighbor, you should know what the relationship between their husband and wife is usually, to be honest!"

"Yes, sir! The relationship between Li Dayou and Li Zheng is not good, and the two often quarrel because, because ......"

Seeing that Li was honestly struggling, the county magistrate Leng Feng seemed to be scrupling about something, and immediately shouted: "Because of what? Speak quickly, don't hide it! ”

"Yes, my lord, the grass people tell the truth!" Li Laoshi paused for a moment and said: "Li Zheng is dissolute by nature and does not abide by women's morals, and neighbors often see her and ...... hooked up with other men, so their relationship as husband and wife was not good! Li Dayou usually lives in a printing shop, and almost every time he comes back, he can hear their husband and wife arguing! ”

The county magistrate Leng Feng asked Li Laoshi to postpone the painting, ordered the official to take him down, and shouted to Li Dayou: "The criminal Li Dayou, is what Li Laoshi said true?" ”

"Returning to my lordship, what Li Laoshi said is ...... True! Li Dayou fell on the ground and cried: "My lord, the grass people's wife does not abide by the women's way, although the grass people are resentful, but in the great favor of the first father-in-law, the grass people have been tolerating, and have never had the intention of killing her!" The reason why the grass people live in the printing shop is to avoid her! The grass people went home this time to get the tools needed for the printing shop, and when they saw that their wife was not at home, they only treated her as a ...... She went out, and the grass people didn't know she was in the firewood room! ”

"Li Dayou, do you still have to quibble? You clearly killed your wife because she was unfaithful, and you tried to burn the firewood house to destroy the corpses, and shouted to the neighbors to fight the fire just to cover up your crime! The cold wind of the county was shocked, and shouted: "Li Dayou, there are all the human and material evidence, and you are still trying to deny it, the crime is unforgivable!" Come, great punishment is waiting! ”

"Wait!" Han Fei squeezed to the door of the lobby, bowed down and said loudly: "Lord Leng, the execution is a little slow, the kid has a love report!" ”

Zhixian Leng Feng heard that someone was disturbing the case, and his face was cold and he was about to be held accountable, and after seeing that it was Han Fei, his face softened slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Bring it in!" ”

Han Fei followed the official into the lobby, bowed to the courtesy, and said respectfully: "Lord Leng, this case has caused a sensation in Gaochun County, the kid passed by the county office, and also listened for a while, and felt that there was something strange in it, so he couldn't help shouting out, and asked the lord to forgive him!" ”

Zhixian Leng Feng already had a good impression of Han Fei, and when he heard this, he frowned, and he also had a seizure, and said lightly: "What strange thing did Doctor Han find?" ”

"My lord, can the kid ask the culprit Li Da to have a word?"

"Divine Doctor Han, this official allows you to question!"

"Thank you, sir!"

"Li Dayou, the county magistrate Leng is hanging high, he is honest and honest as an official, he will not wronged a good person, but he will not miss a bad person!" Han Fei first complimented him with a cold wind, and then asked in a deep voice: "Li Dayou, you keep saying that you don't know that Li Zheng's is in the firewood room, so the last deceased is confirmed to be Li Zheng's?" ”

As soon as Han Fei's words came out, everyone inside and outside the lobby was stunned, everyone was because Li Zheng was gone, so they took it for granted that the deceased was her.

Li Dayou was also stunned, and then replied blankly: "Go back...... Doctor Han, the villain looked anxious at the time and didn't take a closer look...... But in the firewood room of the villain's house, it should be cheap! ”

When the magistrate Leng Feng heard this, his face changed greatly, the case was tried here, and he didn't even confirm who the deceased was, this is a huge loophole, if he was reported to the patrol imperial history, his future would be ruined. He took it for granted that Han Fei appeared to help him, glanced at Han Fei gratefully, and shouted: "Bring the deceased up and recognize the body in the court!" ”

The servants carried the dead into the dead and lifted the white cloth that covered it, revealing an unrecognizable corpse.

Li Dayou stepped forward to take a look, and immediately shouted: "This is not the cheap Li Zheng family!" ”
