Chapter 45: Two Murders
Niu Er and the officials of the fast shift were also puzzled, Jian Qing stood under the eaves of the porch, she took off the gloves on her hands, and said, "If the fetus is suffocated in the mother's womb, the clothes will be purple and black, and the blood stasis will be blurred. The baby girl under Li Zhang's body is pale red, and the clothes are normally white. It's clear that it's gone after being born. ”
Jian Qing couldn't restrain the anger in his heart, and glared angrily, "Wen, since you have been born all along, you should know that what I said is right?" I bullied you a mother-in-law? I think you're bullying me for being young and ignorant! ”
"Tie up this woman for me and beat her until she tells the truth!"
At the door, there was a voice full of majesty, Jian Qing and the others hurriedly looked, and saw that it was the county master, this big night, he actually came, I don't know if it was because this murder disturbed his good dream, I felt that he was very angry.
"Sir!" Old Qiu Tou shouted softly beside him.
Jiang Zhonglin restrained a little, but the effect was very small, he stepped over and stood next to Wen's, "Not to mention, murdering the master's family, do you know what the end is?" ”
Before Jiang Zhonglin's words fell, a small guy rushed in at the door, and knelt down on the ground, "Master, Madam is going to give birth, let Master go back quickly." ”
Jiang Zhonglin was stunned for a moment, looking overjoyed and stunned, after a long time, he relieved himself, his neck was a little stiff and glanced at the door of Li Zhang's bedroom, turned around, walked a few steps towards the door, and stopped, "Niu Er, go and ask the master to preside over this case." ”
Jiang Zhonglin came like a gust of wind and walked like another gust of wind.
When Jian Qing and the others got up from the ground, they were a little confused by Monk Zhang Er. But it was Wen, howling and crying, and his voice soared into the sky, and in the darkest time before dawn, and the north wind whining through the doorway, made the neighbors feel creepy.
Master Zhou Shao came soon, he stood under the eaves of the corridor with his hands behind his back, facing the courtyard door, neither saying how to check, nor urging the check, just like a wood carving.
Niu Er pulled Jian Qing into the backyard, "Brother Jane, what do you say is going on?" ”
Zhou Shao is in his early thirties, with a talent and fame on his body, wearing a straight jacket and a pair of round-toed cloth shoes on his feet, because he has no wife, the patches on his body are not too obscure, and they are pasted on it piece by piece, as if he is shouting to the world, this is the fate of a scholar!
Jiang Zhonglin was not reliable in Jinshi before, and after Zhou Shao entered school at the age of eighteen, he participated in the government examination many times, but he has never been on the list. After the death of his mother, because of a coincidence, he was brought back by Lao Qiu Tou and became Jiang Zhonglin's master.
Jian Qing walked over and arched his hand towards Zhou Shao, "Master Zhou, can you move and listen to the little ones ask Wen?" ”
Zhou Shao looked at it as simple and clear, but for some reason, his face was impatient, and he was actually blown away by the wind, and his eyebrows and eyes became gentle, "Please!" ”
In the bright room of the Li family, the square table was temporarily arranged, and the square table was moved to the side, Zhou Shao sat in the middle, Jian Qing and Niu Eryi stood on the left and right, and Wen sat on the stool, and bowed down.
Probably never saw that the murderer could be treated so well, Zhou Shao raised his head and glanced at Jian Qing.
"Master Zhou, it is not in accordance with the law to set up a private court!"
Zhou Shao was noncommittal, "You ask, I'll listen to it first!" ”
"Mrs. Wen, tell me about tonight, when did your wife attack, when did she give birth, and when did the child disappear after she was born? Why not? ”
"It was launched at the end of the day. My wife finally gave birth to the child, who knew that it was a stillbirth, ah, no, the child was still angry when it was just born, who knows, I didn't cry, I, I waited for a long time, the child didn't cry for half an hour, so I went. The mother-in-law has delivered babies not seventy or eighty times, but also forty or fifty times, and it is the first time I have seen this. ”
"When did the child land?"
"It's ugly, isn't it? The end of the ugly time, the beginning of the Yin time. Wen Pozi's forehead was covered with beads of sweat.
"You said before that you were born to die, and now you say that you are still angry when you are born. Wen, do you mean it's fun? Jian Qing's voice suddenly raised, "Wen, what about the medicine you bought from the Baoan Hall to treat rheumatism?" ”
Wen's whole body trembled, "Eat, eat!" ”
"Three days ago, you bought a total of ten pairs of medicines, one pair of medicines can be taken for a day, and you took them all? Don't hand it over yet! ”
Wen knelt on the ground with a pop, his whole body was like sifting chaff, "Eat, really eat!" ”
Jian Qing asked Niu Er to hold Wen's down, and he and Wang Hu went to Wen's room to search, and after searching out, they didn't see the arsenic wrapped in a small bag in the medicinal herbs, and asked her, "Where is the arsenic?" Did you poison Li Shi? ”
"It's not!" Wen chuckled and fainted.
Next door is a tofu seller, known as Tofu Zhang, his daughter-in-law's surname is Su, Su Zhang's family was passed in, "I slept well, I heard the woman in this room crying very scary, I woke up, opened my ears and listened for a long time, I said to my old man, no, I have to go and see." We got up with our clothes on, and when we got to the door, the crying was gone. ”
"What time was it?"
"The one who fights the watch only walks from the door, and it's two o'clock."
"And then?"
"The door was unlocked, and we pushed it open. After going in and taking a look, the child fell to the ground, but unfortunately it was a stillborn baby. ”
Jian Qing believed that his autopsy would not be wrong, and the baby girl died after birth. Moreover, with Li Zhang's figure and pelvic bone size, it is impossible for such a young baby girl to not enter the basin by the time she reaches nine months. This baby girl may not be the child born by Li Zhang's this time.
Jian Qing finished asking and arched his hand towards Zhou Shao, "Master Zhou, the little one has nothing to ask." ”
"What do you claim?" Zhou Shao asked.
Jian Qing didn't expect him to ask this, and he didn't know what Zhou Shao's claim was referring to, thinking that he was asking about the case, "The little one can conclude that the dead baby girl is not the child born by Li Zhang's family, and this child still has milk leaking in his mouth." And Li Zhang's did not open milk, so it can be seen that the child did not eat Li Zhang's milk, which is one thing; Second, as Fang Caixiao said, if the fetus dies in the mother's womb, the cell clothes will be black and purple, and the color of the cell clothes discharged from Li Zhang's body is normal, and Li Zhang's blood collapsed and died, but the child did not die normally, but was suffocated. ”
Zhou Shao was taken aback, "The child is suffocated to death?" How so? ”
"The baby's eyes are protruding, the milk in the mouth and nose is mixed with blood, the face is red and black, and the fecal door is protruding, which can be seen that he was suffocated to death after falling into the grass."
Zhou Shao's chest rose and fell violently, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath several times before he suppressed his emotions, "How can this be true!" ”
"In your opinion, who is the murderer?"
"The little one doesn't know, but the little one thinks that since Wen is the one who delivered the baby for Li Zhang's family, Wen should be consulted about this matter, and she is inseparable from this matter!"
"Adult, small wrong!" Wen didn't know when he woke up, and when he heard this, he howled.
