The group lived on the leprosy mountain in this way, although the conditions were more difficult, but fortunately, there was no need to be afraid, and Grandma Yuan could also concentrate on preparing prescriptions, and it was not possible to blindly use Western medicine, if you want to overcome leprosy in this era, you still have to use the medical means of this era.

Tang Yang did not stay here, but was in charge of purchasing herbs, because herbs had already been delivered, so this move did not attract attention.

Yu Wenhao is still investigating the widower's case.

The preliminary identification of the suspect is the female deceased's father-in-law, who is a butcher, at the time of the crime, he had no alibi evidence, only said that he was sleeping at home, but no one at home could prove it.

At the butcher's house, a blood-stained knife and a bloody garment were found, which were confirmed to be human blood, but the butcher flatly denied that the knife was his, saying that he had never seen it before.

As for the bloody garment, he admitted that it was his, but the garment had been kept in the cupboard, and he didn't know how it was stained with blood.

During the interrogation, he said that he knew about the affair between his mother-in-law and the widower, and he began to be very angry, but the widower's two sons earned silver, and the widower was generous and gave the silver every time, and he did not earn much by slaughtering pigs, and it was very difficult to raise three children.

The officials also asked the neighbors in the vicinity, and said that they had heard about the widower and the female deceased, because they were very suspicious, and sometimes in the presence of outsiders, they would make a fuss, and their attitude was intimate and warm.

Some neighbors said that the widower had molested his wife in front of the butcher, and even verbally insulted the butcher with a few stinky money.

Not only that, but even the butcher's lady was very bad to the butcher, always pointing at his nose and saying that he had no interest and that his income was not enough for the family's expenses, and the neighbors had heard it with their own ears and seen it, and the butcher's lady scolded the butcher for being a waste and a waste.

The butcher can be said to have no dignity at home, but it is true that he can't make a lot of money by helping people kill pigs, in order to fight for a breath, after he kills the pigs in the morning, he will go to the dock to do coolies, as for the day of the crime, he didn't go because he broke his foot the day before, and slept at home.

The official sent to the dock to investigate, and confirmed that the butcher had indeed been hit by someone on the day before the crime, fell to the ground, and lost the goods, and was scolded by the foreman and deducted all the wages for the day.

The dock worker said that although the butcher looked like a big man and three coarse, he was very cowardly, and he didn't dare to resist being bullied, and it was hard to believe that he would kill someone.

The Criminal Department has been pressuring, and has given a deadline to ask Yu Wenhao to solve the case.

Mainly because this case is very tragic, the body of the female deceased was cut off fingers and toes, and the male deceased was cut off at the roots, this case has been repeatedly spread in Beijing, the criminal department means that this case has caused great panic among the people, and the murderer must be caught as soon as possible.

When the Jingzhao Mansion held a meeting, the master said: "Although the butcher does not admit the fact of killing, but the knife and clothes found in his house with human blood, plus the relationship between the male and female deceased, can definitely constitute his motive for killing. ”

The head catcher also agreed with the master's words, "My lord, my subordinates handled a similar case a few years ago, and the murderer was also extremely cowardly, but after being humiliated repeatedly, he became extremely cruel and killed several people in a row.

I'm afraid that accepting it is a strategy of forbearance, but it is actually waiting for an opportunity to kill. ”

The newly transferred Gao Fucheng put out all the evidence, and also agreed with the words of the two, and said to Yu Wenhao: "My lord, now that the deadline for solving the case is imminent, and the butcher still refuses to admit his guilt, can you consider using torture?"

He was just stubborn, and he let go when he was tortured. ”

Yu Wenhao pressed his hand, "It's not a good strategy to use torture, have you ever investigated whether the deceased had a grudge with anyone?" ”

The head catcher said: "I have investigated, although the male and female deceased were high-profile people and offended many people, but if there is a deep hatred and hatred to be killed by such a murderous means, there has never been." ”

Gao Fucheng saw that Yu Wenhao was still hesitating, and said: "My lord, now that the entire capital is staring at this case, I really can't delay it any longer, let's go to the punishment, in fact, it is already conclusive evidence of the crime, you think, this move of cutting off the root actually just proves that the murderer is venting the hatred of taking his wife, and this move has been planned for a long time." ”

Yu Wenhao said: "Your analysis is reasonable, it's just ......" He paused, always feeling that something was not quite right.

"My lord, what else do you have to say?"

Master asked.

Yu Wenhao flipped through the files, in fact, all the evidence at present pointed to the butcher, and on the surface, he couldn't see anything.

He looked at the crowd and said, "This official asks you, if you were murderers, would you kill with such fanfare?"

The two of them died in bed, and outsiders knew their relationship at a glance, and they would definitely suspect him at first, but he neither threw away his bloody clothes nor the murderer, is there such a stupid person?

Moreover, you also analyzed that he has been planning for a long time. ”

He took out another confession and put it in front of everyone, "This confession was recorded by a dock worker, confirming that he was indeed unable to start work, not that he couldn't kill people if he broke his feet, but he couldn't kill so smoothly, the male and female deceased were not weak people, but there were not too many traces of fighting at the scene, although the deceased died tragically, but they were powerless to resist, a person with limited mobility, and he didn't know martial arts, can he do this?" ”

Everyone didn't expect this, and when they heard Yu Wenhao's analysis, they all frowned, "So, he was framed?"

Could that be a murderer? ”

Yu Wenhao shook his head, "No, two lives, the price is expensive, he can't afford this silver, if there is this silver, he won't have to go to the dock to do coolies, and he won't be bullied by his mother-in-law all the time." ”

All kinds of humiliation of the butcher comes from his poverty, and he has the money to buy human lives, as for living such a poor life?

The master thought for a while, "Could that be a murder in anger?"

After killing someone, he panicked for a while, and brought back the bloody clothes and murderous weapons...... However, it doesn't make sense, he has difficulty moving, and if he gets entangled and fights, he must alarm his neighbors. ”

The case seems to be at an impasse.

In the study of King An's mansion.

King An returned to the mansion on leave, and after returning to the house, he first went to see the princess, who was taking a nap, and he didn't wake up, so he called Ah Ru to the study.

Ah Ru was pushed on the Luohan bed, and after some wantonness, King An tidied up his clothes and sat on the Taishi chair, his eyes were cold and cold, and he didn't see the enthusiasm of Fang Cai at all, "How do you think Yu Wenhao will judge the case?" ”
