Chapter 61: I'll Say It for You
u8 update fastest reading network Chun Tu looked at the young woman kneeling under the hall fixedly, and saw that she was not beautiful, but her facial features were upright, her eyes were clear, white and clean, even if she had been in prison for more than a month, she still tried her best to tidy herself up, which was very impressive.
Born from the heart, it does not mean that a beautiful person is a good person, nor does it mean that an ugly person must be a bad person, but his look and temperament can indeed show a person's personality and heart.
Seeing the Zhou family at this time, Chun Tu Yu even concluded that Wu's death had nothing to do with the woman kneeling in the local area.
"Why don't you answer what I asked?" She asked.
Zhou concealed his panicked look and said calmly, "The folk women didn't take the blame for anyone, and the folk women deserved their crimes." ”
"You insist on saying this, but what's the problem?" She asked, slowing her tone.
Zhou had calmed down at this time and shook his head firmly, "The folk women have no bitterness, the folk women know that they are guilty, and they just want to die quickly." ”
Knowing that Wu's death was not caused by the Zhou family, Chun Tu Yu couldn't help but become more curious about what prompted the Zhou family to do this. However, she knew that this was a dead end, so she simply took a detour, sighed and said, "You blindly hide it, but you don't know that the real murderer of your mother-in-law is still at large." You say that you are not filial, but letting your mother-in-law die without turning a blind eye is the biggest unfilial piety! ”
Her words were like droplets of cold water thrown into a hot oil pot, and they exploded in Zhou's heart.
"Big ...... This Lang Jun, I don't know what you mean? The blood on Zhou's face and lips disappeared in an instant.
I want to be called an adult, because Chun Tu Yu is sitting in the presiding judge. But it can be seen that she is clearly a man and a woman, not an official or an official, so she has to change her mouth and call her indiscriminately.
"It means that your mother-in-law, Wu, did not commit suicide, but was killed!"
Bite! Kang Zhengyuan put the tea cup in his hand on the table, because everyone in the room was stunned, and even held his breath. So this sound is particularly abrupt.
"Impossible! No way! Zhou shook his head desperately, looking incredulous.
"Why can't it be?" Chun Tu Yu then asked, so that Zhou had no time to think.
Sure enough, Zhou rushed to the mouth and debuted, "Because the women sleep very lightly, but I didn't hear any movement that night!" If a man kills someone, how can he not make a sound......" she said here, and suddenly stopped. Can't help it. The hand was still pressed to the mouth.
Chun Tu glanced at Kang Zhengyuan, what did it mean: How? I said there is something strange about this case, right?
Wu died, and Zhou took the blame on himself to find a reasonable excuse for Wu's death. Then, she must know the real reason for the death of the Wu family, but for some purpose, she would rather die.
Therefore, although she only said one sentence just now, it proved Chun Tuyi's suspicion from the side.
"Why did you conclude that this case was murdered by him?" Kang Zhengyuan's voice sounded slowly.
Chun Tu stood up and paced in front of Zhou. Word for word, "First of all." It was Zhou who just made it clear that she slept very lightly, but she didn't hear the sound. But the wooden chair is heavy, and if it is kicked down, how can it not make a sound? Second, it is clearly noted in the case file that Wu lost a shoe at that time. Just ask. People are dying, who doesn't dress themselves up neatly, how can they drop one for no reason? Unless. It was kicked off in a hard struggle. Third, I paid attention to the height of the Wu family recorded in the dossier, as well as the length of the rope used to hang myself, and just now I went to the Wu family's house and observed the Fang Liang......" Speaking of this, she glanced at the Zhou family.
Zhou subconsciously grabbed the collar with both hands, as if he wanted to choke his neck, obviously thinking of something possible.
Chun Tu Yu ignored it and continued, "Add or subtract those heights and lengths, and you will find that if Wu wants to put his neck in a rope noose, he will not be able to stand on a chair, at least the height of a table. Or, there was a tall man who hung her up. Fourth, and most importantly, I found a mud mark in front of the bed in Wu's room. It's been too long for you to tell what shape it is. But apparently, it's a man's footprint! ”
Zhou snorted and sat down on the ground.
"Still won't say?" Chun Tu smiled, "Then I'll tell you for you." ”
She turned to Kang Zhengyuan, "How can there be men's mud footprints in the homes of two widows, especially in the inner rooms?" I inquired with nearby neighbors and it had rained the night before Wu's body was found. The area was full of dirt roads that had not been compacted, and when it rained or snowed, it was muddy. The footprints are not obvious, indicating that when the murderer entered the house, it had only been raining for a short time, which matched the time of Wu's death. Usually, Zhou Niangzi does not go out of the door, does not step out of the second door, and is quiet and introverted. And her mother-in-law, Wu, is a person who loves to talk and laugh, and she shows up in everything. Therefore, if there is adultery, the party must be Wu! Besides, the footprints are larger than those of normal men, so the owner must be a tall man. In addition, although the courtyard wall of the house in that area is not high, if you want to jump back and forth against the wall without being discovered, it obviously takes a little effort. So I went to the town and found out that Wu often took the embroidery work done by his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to a grocery store to sell on his behalf, and then bought some daily necessities from the grocery store. Coincidentally, Wang Yong, the owner of the shop, is six feet three or four tall (nearly 190), and he was a ranger when he was young, and he has a good kung fu. After inquiring carefully, Wang Yong and Wu's childhood sweetheart also had a marriage contract, but it was only because Wang Yong went out to be a ranger and there was no news for many years that Wu married someone else. Finally, when encountering a murderer, ordinary people will struggle to resist or shout for help, but Zhou didn't hear anything, which can only prove that it was someone she knew and even loved who killed Wu. ”
At this point, she paused, because the real culprit was already on the verge of being called. However, her eyes when she looked at Wu were full of sympathy and helplessness, "People say that mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are difficult to get along, but Wu and Zhou Niangzi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are very compatible." The neighbors all said that the Wu family loved Zhou Niangzi as their own daughter, and Zhou Niangzi was also very filial to serve her mother-in-law. Every morning, she gets up early and brings hot water and tea to her mother-in-law, so that she can freshen up after she gets up, day after day, rain or shine. I guess that one morning, Zhou Niangzi entered her mother-in-law's house lightly as usual, but Wu and Wang's shopkeeper were careless that day, and they left too late in the morning and were hit by Zhou Niangzi. No, it should be Zhou Niangzi who found something and hurriedly hid out, and the Wu family tacitly. In this regard, the shopkeeper Wang must not know, otherwise Zhou Niangzi will die. However, if a mother-in-law is found out by her daughter-in-law, she must be ashamed. Therefore, when Wu died, the situation looked like self-hanging, and Zhou Niangzi thought that her mother-in-law committed suicide because of shame. So in order to protect her mother-in-law's reputation and avoid being traced the reason, she voluntarily confessed, covered up the facts, and exchanged her own infamy for her mother-in-law's innocence. It's just that Zhou Niangzi didn't know that after the Wu family was discovered by her daughter-in-law because of her personal affairs, in addition to being ashamed, she also wanted to simply cross the bright road and fly away with her sweetheart. But Wang Yong already has a wife and children, and it is okay to be a dewy husband and wife with the Wu family, but he is unwilling to abandon his family and business. The Wu family forced him to be anxious, he simply strangled the person to death, hung it on the beam of the house, approved of the false image of self-hanging, and bluffed Zhou Niangzi into committing the crime! ”
The words are reasonable, as if the scenes in the darkness have been reproduced in front of people. Next to him, Zhou couldn't cry anymore. Kang Zhengyuan looked at Chun Tu and praised her. Then he asked Zhou, "Do you still insist that Wu's death was caused by a quarrel with you and a moment of inability to think about it?" ”
Zhou's expression struggled, and it took a long time to grit his teeth, and his head slammed on the ground, "The woman lied, and she is willing to be punished accordingly." I just ask for adults, and I want to avenge my mother-in-law! "She is a smart person, but she is too filial and wants to repay Wu's goodness, so she insists that it is her fault. Now, she understands that the reputation of the Wu family can no longer be saved, and of course she must catch the murderer in order to solve the hatred of her head and make the Wu family peaceful underground.
"Come on, go to the county order to get a bad ticket, and ask him to personally bring people to arrest Wang Yong." Kang Zhengyuan commanded softly, but there was a sharp look in his eyes.
Chun Tu Yu knows that the county order here is going to be unlucky. After all, although there was a confession of Zhou Niangzi in this case, the yamen was also guilty of negligence. It is not right that they neglected the collection of evidence because someone surrendered. Regardless of whether anyone pleads guilty or not, the evidence must be complete, otherwise people will find loopholes and easily refute them, and if people with ulterior motives will naturally take advantage of this.
After Wang Yong was brought, he immediately understood that he could not escape. He was also a single, and simply confessed to all the crimes, so that he would not go to court again to trouble his wife and children, or suffer flesh and skin because of the torture. It's just that he killed out of righteous indignation, because Wu wanted to quarrel with him, so he missed, strangled Wu to death, and then disguised the suicide scene.
"Every night I dream that she comes to me to ask for her life, and I simply pay for it with my life, and I will go to the underworld to distinguish it clearly." Wang Yong said.
The final verdict was: Wang Yong's murder was for murder, but he suddenly had murderous thoughts in anger, and he had no murderous intent before, so he was only sentenced to hanging, and he was given a whole corpse. It is also retribution, he strangled Wu to death, but he was hanged, which is really fair.
Zhou Niangzi, who confessed to the crime, belonged to disturbing the court. But thinking of his filial piety, he would rather give up his life for the reputation of his mother-in-law, which is considered a great merit, so the merit is offset and released in the court. However, Zhou's reputation became better, and the state government gave him a commendation, which is not a matter of later information.
For Chun Tu Ti, it is further adapted to the ancient judicial system and procedures. In this case, in modern times, an autopsy alone would determine whether a suicide or a homicide would have been determined. But the autopsy of the Tang Dynasty is far inferior to the Song Dynasty with Song Ci, let alone compared to the modern era, and Xiang Duo is in the bud. Other criminal investigation techniques are the same, quite backward, so reasoning and judgment, psychology and skills, have become the key to solving the case. If she is allowed to defend, it is of course the key to the defense.
This time, she finally didn't come to Kang Zhengyuan in vain, because she really understood.
