Chapter 268: The Great Wolf and the Rabbit
readx;? Anyone who has read detective or mystery novels may know that the protagonist is often able to deduce a specific cause through a subtle result, and this reason can often lead the protagonist to the other side of the truth. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info Chinese√Net ★.くく√.
Literature comes from life and is higher than life, but novels are only novels after all, in the investigation of real cases, in fact, every subtle result, there may be hundreds of possible reasons in it, want to deduce the whole picture of the truth through this small detail, in fact, it is not very easy, nor can you make a natural, subjective reasoning, but need rigorous evidence that verifies each other from multiple angles to determine the truth.
When investigating a case, it is necessary to investigate the scene, examine many traces, and need to go through forensic and even some physical and chemical analysis, as well as text, audio and video such as surveillance video, etc., which is a complex work of cooperation between multiple professions and departments.
As forensic personnel, the work they need to engage in is more complicated, and they need to use professional and scientific knowledge and means to conduct meticulous investigation of the examination object, starting from skin, fat, muscle, internal organs, bones, blood, nervous system, and even various secretions, etc., to find out the truth.
It also includes inferring the time of the casualty, what kind of tool or murder weapon it was from these items, and even restoring the scene at the time through the strength and angle of the blow, and when necessary, using this to infer the suspect's psychological state and some special psychological characteristics at the time of the crime, so as to give a profile of the suspect and narrow the scope of the investigation.
From these, it can be seen that as an investigator, the biggest taboo is preconceived subjective assumptions, which is why no matter how reasonable the reasoning is, it cannot be used as evidence in court, and substantive evidence must be used to convict the suspect.
Yang Jing has his own professional ethics and conduct, and he has always strictly abided by these guidelines, but in the context of this era, he does not have enough conditions to implement all the processes, and only relies on a forensic physical evidence investigation box.
Therefore, many times, he only excludes unreasonable inferences through investigation, and uses the results of exploration to verify his inference, which is also a compromise in desperation.
He also has his own speculations about the little mute, and Yang Jing believes that everyone present will make the same judgment as himself after witnessing the specific situation of the little mute.
But as the old saying goes, people can't look good, the sea can't fight, and the big gold chain with a big head and a tattoo on his body is a fierce man, maybe he is worried about smoking others and endures his addiction, or he may secretly make a face at the cute little baby, give up his seat to the old man on the bus, and he is afraid that people will see that he is not enough to be a grandfather.
A good old man who is polite and polite, and has a good reputation, perhaps half of the head of the obese female neighbor is hidden in the freezer, and the reason why he killed the female neighbor is only because the female neighbor talks too loudly and often throws garbage at the door of his house.
It is difficult to draw the skin and bones of a tiger, and it is difficult to know the face but not the heart, before the investigation, who knows whether the little mute is a victim or a murderer?
When the little mute raised the stone in his hand in grief and indignation, and saw that he was about to smash Zibu's head, no one had any intention of stopping him.
Whether it is Zong Yun, Xu Feng, Wu Wang Buliu and other big men, or Lu Baiyu, Song Fengya, Sun Erniang and other female generations.
These people are not ordinary people, they are used to fighting and blood, they have a strong self-judgment, and they have an incomprehensible sense of justice, and in their hearts, they all have their own justice and morality.
They believe what they see with their eyes, and they resolutely enforce the justice and morality in their hearts, and in their eyes, they have already convicted Zibu!
This is contrary to the presumption of innocence in the modern justice system, which means that a suspect should be presumed innocent until he is convicted in accordance with the law, no matter how guilty he may seem, no matter how good the evidence is.
And from the moment Yang Jing and the others felt sympathy and pity for the little mute, they stood on the side of the little mute, and the moment the little mute lifted the stone, they had already given Zibu the final judgment.
It's just that this kind of judgment is judged by the subjective imagination in their hearts, without any evidence to support it!
It may be a joke to talk about judicial fairness in the context of ancient times, but this kind of principled thing has been deeply ingrained in Yang Jing's heart.
So no matter how much he sympathized with the little mute, no matter how much he despised Zibu's personality, he couldn't watch the little mute stone Zibu to death!
He saw that Zibu's face was covered with blood, but he did not have any fear or repentance, but instead looked at the little mute with contempt in defiance, and did not seem to believe that the little mute really dared to attack.
Until this moment, he still maintained that fierce gaze like a wild wolf, no pleading, no shock, no panic.
Such a person's psychology has been distorted to a certain extent, even if he is not the murderer of Zigong, his hands must be stained with blood, maybe the blood of the prey, or maybe the prey includes living people.
Yang Jing didn't have the heart to speculate whether Zibu was a psychopath caused by years of hunting, he just wanted to find out the truth before the little mute started.
Even at a certain moment, what he really cared about in his heart was not whether the little mute was innocent or whether Zibu was innocent, all he cared about was the truth!
This made Yang Jing feel very frightened, because he was despising life, and he suddenly remembered the sentence that Song Ci had given him, human life is greater than heaven!
So at the moment when the little mute's stone fell, and Zibu finally showed his horror, Yang Jing made a decisive move and grabbed the little mute's wrist!
Zong Yun and the others were a little unexpected, but they felt reasonable, because they all knew Yang Jing's personality too well, and Yang Jing would never be confused in their attitude towards the case, but they secretly felt sorry and angry for the little mute, but they were a little relieved, and their emotions were really complicated.
The little mute suddenly raised his head and glared at Yang Jing, but Yang Jing didn't look at her, but asked the frightened Zibu.
"You hear me, I'll only ask once, tell me what's going on. ”
Zibu didn't expect the little mute to really have the courage to make a move, so he slipped around in front of the ghost gate, and his heart was also panicking, it can be seen that Yang Jing interrogated him condescendingly, and the stubbornness in Zibu's heart surged up again, and he spit out a mouthful of blood and said, "Dog officer!"
Yang Jing's brows furrowed, and he let go of the little mute's hand, the little mute's eyes lit up, as if he was worried that Yang Jing would change his mind, and the stone in his hand slammed down!
Although she was in a bit of a hurry and didn't use all her strength, the angular stones still smashed Zibu's eyebrow bone, blood splattered on her face, and her eyes were full of revenge excitement and excitement!
Zibu's head was smashed to the side, but he still didn't cry out in pain, turned his head, and stared at Yang Jing deadly, that gaze did not make Yang Jing feel scared, but made the little mute subconsciously shrink back!
Yang Jing saw that the little mute didn't dare to make any more moves, so he stood up and asked Xu Fengwu, "Where is his bag?"
Xu Fengwu's calf was injured by the trap of the beast, although the injury was not serious, but it was quite inconvenient to move, so he pointed out the location, and Wang Buliu followed his instructions, took the bag and handed it to Yang Jing.
Yang Jing was on the edge of the fire and opened Zibu's bag, in addition to some tools and food for the expedition, there were also two fresh fat mountain rats hanging outside, the size of rabbits, which should be the prey that Zibu caught easily.
After Yang Jing checked Zibu's luggage, he walked back to Zibu's side, holding Zibu's pig iron knife in his hand, and said to him: "This official is traveling today, the task is urgent, no matter who is the murderer, he will not bring it back to the official mansion to pass the court, and if he owes money to repay the money and kill to pay for his life, the official will correct the murderer on the spot!"
Zong Yun and the others couldn't help but be shocked when they heard Yang Jing say this, because in their opinion, the abuse of lynching, and the execution of the death penalty, was really unbelievable for Yang Jing, who was very reluctant to even torture to extract confessions.
But when Yang Jing said this to Zibu, the coldness in his eyes made people dare not question the authenticity of his words, if Zibu is really the murderer, Yang Jing can't really say that he really wants to correct him on the spot!
Zi Bu has been begging for a living in the mountains since he was a child, he is better at dealing with wild beasts than humans, and his perception of danger is also more acute than others, so he can see that Yang Jing's words are definitely not a joke to deceive him or a cliché!
He finally let go of his pride and said a little vaguely: "Uncle... My uncle... I didn't kill it... It was this who killed him!"
As soon as the word Zibu's came out, Song Fengya and others were indignant, no one who saw the poor little mute could use such an adjective!
"I'll kill him!" Song Fengya pulled out his long sword, pressed it against Zibu's throat, and was about to push it inside!
However, Yang Jing knocked on the blade of the sword and gently flicked the sword back.
"He's not lying. ”
As soon as Yang Jing's words came out, everyone was stunned, because Zigong was their indispensable guide, and Yang Jing's team was full of cronies, and there was no conflict of interest with Zigong, and there was no reason to kill Zigong, so the people on Yang Jing's side had been excluded in terms of motives.
As for Wei Zhenxian's secret agents who followed Yang Jing and others, is it possible to kill Zigong in order to prevent Yang Jing and others from entering the mountain, this possibility is very small, because it is Yang Jing, Zongyun, Xu Fengwu and Zibu who are keeping vigil.
So the suspect only has Zibu and the little mute, and in everyone's minds, Zibu and the little mute, which one is more like the murderer, this is already beyond doubt.
When Yang Jing said this, their eyes were focused on the little mute, they couldn't understand it at all, and they didn't believe that the little mute was the murderer!
Xu Fengwu has seen with his own eyes that Zibu violated and abused the little mute, that is to say, the one who has been bullying the little mute should be Zibu, even if the little mute wants to kill the shame, he should also kill Zibu, why kill the prince?
This time, even Wang Buliu didn't stand on Yang Jing's side, and he asked everyone's common voice: "Why are you so sure that Zibu is not a murderer?"
He asked why Zibu was not the murderer, but did not ask why the little mute was the murderer, which shows that in his subconscious, he still did not believe that the little mute was the murderer.
Yang Jing looked at Wang Buliu, looked around at everyone, and then pointed at Zibu and asked everyone rhetorically, "What do you think he looks like?"
"Wolves, wild wolves. Zong Yun replied succinctly.
Yang Jing glanced at Zong Yun, then turned his head to look at Zibu, nodded and said: "Yes, he is like an animal, like a wolf, it is he who bullies the little mute, but he is a wolf, an unruly wolf, not a cunning fox, a fox can lie and play tricks, but wolves can't." ”
Mu Xiaoying is also a woman who has suffered greatly, she can best understand the pain of the little mute, seeing Yang Jing say this, she was very dissatisfied in her heart, and asked Yang Jing with sarcasm and hostility.
"Lord Yang, according to what you say, the little mute is a lying fox?"
Yang Jing sighed lightly, shook his head, looked at the little mute with pity in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "She's not a fox, she's just a rabbit that bites people in a hurry..."
