Chapter 15: The Murderer Is Caught
"Oh?" Ji Xia wondered.
"Really, the murderer's name is Chen Dafa, he is a homeless man, and he is now in prison!"
"Did he recruit it?"
"He's hard-mouthed! When I came to you, Big Brother Gao was interrogating him. β
"Take me there!"
Based on the existing clues alone, it is really difficult to deduce the murderer, and the murderer was caught, which made her feel very surprised.
Taoyuan County Jail.
"Wronged, my lordβ"
As soon as Ji Xia stepped in, he heard a man crying.
The man in the cell was small, with messy hair and a black-gray linen coat with several patches. Ji Xia recognized that this person was the person he bumped into outside the Drunken Immortal Residence that day.
At this time, the man was wearing iron chains and shackles on his hands, and Gao Han was interrogating him.
"Chen Dafa, someone has accused you of taking the deceased's belongings to the pawnshop, what is your explanation?"
Gao Han was aggressive, and Chen Dafa hurriedly shouted when he heard it, "My lord, I am wronged, the villain's money was picked up!" β
"You dare to quibble, we found a pair of shoes in your house, and after comparison, they are no different from the footprints found next to the deceased. Are you so easy to deceive when I am Gao Han? β
"I, I, I, my lord...... My lord, when I passed by, the woman's body was still very warm, the villain, the villain, was a vagabond, I had never touched a woman, although the woman's appearance was very terrifying, but her figure was excellent, so ...... That's why I had a good time with her! The villain swears, the villain is just ...... The villain really didn't kill anyone! β
When Ji Xia and the others heard this, they were really taken aback. This man turned out to be ......
Although this person is extremely perverted, Ji Xia has no bottom in his heart when it comes to whether he is a murderer.
Looking at the man's reaction, it seemed that he had not killed anyone, but now he found physical evidence and made footprints......
But these two points alone are not enough to support that he is a murderer, and Lin Xiao's case is also full of suspicions.
"Chen Dafa, I'm Ji Xia, a member of this county, let me ask you, where were you at the time of the crime?"
"Crime, I, I'm sleeping......"
"Is there a witness?"
"No, no, the villain lives alone in the ruined temple outside the city all the year round."
"And what are you doing at the scene of the crime?"
"I, I'm passing by......"
When Ji Xia heard this, he shook his head, this person obviously didn't tell the truth.
"No, no, no, my lord, the villain remembered wrong, the villain actually wanted to steal that day."
Chen Dafa saw that Ji Xia didn't believe his testimony, and hurriedly changed his words. I don't know which of his words is true.
"Villain, villain really didn't kill anyone!" Chen Dafa saw that everyone regarded him as a murderer, and he was so frightened that he trembled, cold sweat kept dripping down his forehead, and he kept kowtowing to Ji Xia and the others to beg for mercy.
Chen Dafa knew very well in his heart that killing people was to pay for his life!
This investigation and interrogation is not Ji Xia's strong point, so he let Chen Dafa shout no matter how he complained, and he didn't pay attention to it, and after saying hello to Gao Han and the others, he walked away quickly.
That night, Lord Yang and his wife invited Ji Xia and others to his house for dinner.
It is said that in this era, it is advocated that women teach their husbands and children at home, and women are virtuous if they are not talented, but Ji Xia showed up outside, followed a group of men to examine the corpse and investigate the case, which really seemed immoral.
However, Lord Yang admired Ji Xia's talent very much, and even was able to resist criticism and invite Ji Xia to serve as the county servant, which shows that although he is over half a hundred years old, he is not pedantic.
"I heard that Miss Ji also went to prison, I wonder what Miss Ji thinks about this matter?" After experiencing the cases of Wang Xiuxiu and Meng Jin, Lord Yang saw that Ji Xia had his own unique views on the case.
As soon as Ji Xia heard it, he knew that Lord Yang still had a lot of questions in his heart. It is true that this Chen Dafa is very suspicious, but what is his motive for killing? Are the two cases in the capital related to him? He didn't admit anything!
"Lord Hui, this Chen Dafa is indeed a suspicious person, but based on the evidence we have now, we are afraid that it is a little ...... for us to convict him of murder."
Lord Yang nodded and looked at Ji Xia with great appreciation, not only did she have her own rules for the autopsy, but she was also very rigorous in her work.
"Okay, okay, don't talk about the case after dinner!" Seeing that they were only focused on studying the case, Mrs. Yang stopped putting down her chopsticks, so she hurriedly spoke to stop them, "The dishes are going to be cold." β
"I don't know how many people in Miss Ji's family, where is the teacher, have you ever been married?" Mrs. Yang saw that Ji Xia was elegant and elegant, and her speech and demeanor were generous, and she liked it very much.
"I'm sorry, madam, my master accidentally fell into the water a few days ago and lost his memory." Xue Dabao hurriedly pointed to his head while helping Ji Xia answer.
Ji Xia nodded embarrassedly.
As soon as these words passed, suddenly, a thunderclap rolled in, followed by a heavy downpour.
"With such a heavy rain, I'm afraid you'll be soaked when you go back, what if the wind blows again and you catch a cold! Why don't you all rest in your room? Seeing that the pouring rain had no intention of stopping, Mrs. Yang opened her mouth to propose.
Gao Han and Dabao have been friends with Lord Yang and his wife, although they are superiors and subordinates at work, but in private, they have long regarded Lord Yang and his wife as elders, and they will go to Yang's mansion to have a meal when they have time, and sometimes they will live here when they are late to chat.
