Chapter 90: The Murder of My Husband
Li Si felt heartache for Zhang San's death, he lost his good friend, and let his good friend bear a bad name, which really shouldn't be. If it weren't for Jin Shan to solve the case, I am afraid that Zhang San would be scolded by thousands of people, and his wives and concubines would also suffer together. Fortunately, Jin Shan found out the facts of the case in time, so that Zhang San and Li Si's wives and concubines were restored to their reputations, cleared their grievances, and gained a reputation of innocence.
After this case, another case also needed to be cleared, and he also used his experience and resourcefulness to clear a village woman and clear the charge of "murdering her husband".
The facts of the case are simple.
Wang Tian, a village woman, has a good relationship with her husband Wang Ergou, it is the busy farming season, her husband Wang Ergou is busy in the field, and he has no time to go home to eat.
Wang Ergou said and ate with a smile, and asked Wang Tian to eat too, Wang Tian smiled and said, "I'm too tired, take a break, I can't eat at this time." Hurry up and eat. Take a break after eating, don't be so desperate! ”
"Madam, you don't know, this weather is unreliable, take advantage of the sunny day, hurry up and do it, and when the weather changes, it will be troublesome." Wang Ergou said.
"Okay, pay attention to your body, eat, I'll go back when I'm done." Wang Tian said.
"Good!"
Wang Ergou took Wang Tian's soup, just took a sip, and was about to praise it: "It's delicious!" ”
Before he could say anything, he just heard the sound of "coo", and he fell to the ground, his legs and feet twitched a few times, and he straightened, his body stiffened, and he slowly lost his breath.
When Wang Tian saw it, he hurriedly shouted: "Wang Lang, Wang Lang! What's wrong with you, you're talking! Woo-woo-"
As soon as she shouted, her voice was very high, and the surrounding farmers all stood up to look, and after a while, they all gathered together, only to see Wang Ergou foaming at the mouth, his face was blue and black, his face was distorted, and someone shouted: "Poisoned, poisoned!" ”
Someone understands, just say it, everyone looks at each other, looks at it, and stays on Wang Tian's body, Wang Tian's looked at it, knew that the situation was not good, and hurriedly argued: "It's not me!" No, I'm innocent. I just scooped a bowl of soup for Wang Lang, and after only one sip, it didn't work. ”
"There is something wrong with the soup, it must be poisoned by you." It was said.
"No, no! How do I know that Wang Lang will die! Wang Tian said.
Later, Lizheng Dibao got the news and immediately reported to the official, Jin Shan found out the facts of the case, and arranged for an autopsy, and found that the Wang Ergou was indeed poisoned to death. What is certain is that there is a problem after drinking the soup.
Jin Shan has always been cautious in judging the case and has not let go of any detail. He first investigated the relationship between the husband and wife, and after a visit, everyone agreed that the relationship between the two was very good.
Wang Ergou's family is poor, he can't afford to marry a daughter-in-law, Wang Tian thinks he is a good person, so he doesn't dislike his poor family, Wang Tian's fancy is his character, as long as the character is good, it is easy to say, if the character is not good, no matter how rich it is, it is not reliable.
Wang Tian married Wang Ergou, and the husband and wife were in love. Wang Ergou is hardworking, honest, not contaminated with bad habits, and is not rich in life, but very happy. What the two planned to add, they discussed, the husband and wife respected each other like guests, and the relationship was very harmonious, becoming one of the best families in the local area. When Wang Ergou and his family were mentioned, everyone gave a thumbs up to show respect. Wang Ergou originally planned to add Ding to his mouth, everything was under his control,
Some people say that Wang Tian's murder of his husband was premeditated, but in fact, the evidence is insufficient, and Jin Shan disagrees with this view.
He felt that there was something strange in this, and he needed to restore the process of the case and not miss any link.
It seems that we have to sort it out slowly, think about some of the case-solving skills taught by Bu Huishu, and then combine it with this case, take a closer look and analyze it, and maybe you can find the key to solving the case.
There were no other witnesses, except for Wang Tian's confession. He then interrogated Wang Tian, but he was worried that Wang Tian's words would be different because he was afraid, so he comforted her first and said: "Wang Tian, you don't have to be afraid, this official is in charge for you, don't worry about being notoriety, this official has investigated that you are kind, respectful to your husband, there is no holiday, you don't cheat on your wife, don't talk to any man except your husband, although you are beautiful like a flower, don't care about other men, it is inevitable that someone will be jealous and slander you, you have any suffering, just say." ”
"Thank you for your understanding of the people's daughter, if the adults want to know anything, just ask, the people's daughter's knowledge is absolutely clear and will not be hidden." Wang Tian said.
"When did you deliver food to your husband Wang Ergou that day?" Jin Shan asked.
"At noon, the sun was about to shine overhead, because it was hot, the folk girl cooked a meal, and was smoked by the fumes, so she lost her appetite and didn't want to eat, so she thought about her husband, that is, Wang Ergou, let him eat first, and then the folk girl came back to eat, at that time, the folk girl was too hungry, maybe she could eat something. The folk girl planned to do this, seeing that the sun was in the sky, and went to the time when her husband was resting, so she went. Wang Tian said.
"What did you cook at the time? What dish? What soup? Jin Shan asked.
"It's nothing, just rice and fish soup, a plate of stir-fried pumpkin."
"Is that all?"
"Yes, the husband had an accident after eating, and the folk girl was frightened, and she didn't know what to do! I didn't feel hungry anymore. Wang Tian said.
"Then it was because I was scared, right?"
"At that time, the people were very scared and didn't know what to do. In addition, the people in the village all say some cool words, and it is difficult for the people to argue with hundreds of people. Wang Tian said.
"Tell me more about the food delivery." Jin Shan said.
"Okay, the sun is just right that day, and it's this time of day to deliver food. You have to pass through a wattle forest. At that time, the flowers on the trees of the wattle forest were in full bloom. The folk girl looked at the scorching sun just now, and after a while there were rolling dark clouds, the folk girl thought that it was the thorn forest that blocked the sun, and when she looked closely, she heard that there was rolling thunder in the distance, and knew that there was about to run a torrential rain here. hurriedly quickened his pace and rushed to the husband of the people's daughter. Fearing that he would be hungry and rainy, that he would be sick easily, and that the sooner he would be, the more likely he would be to have an accident, and by accident, the lid of the crockpot containing the fish soup fell off, and it happened to fall on a stone impartially, and it shattered, and it became three pieces. Wang Tian said.
"And then what do you do?" Jin Shan asked.
"Look at the dark clouds in the sky getting thicker and thicker, constantly rolling, the thunder in the distance is getting louder and louder, lightning keeps appearing in the sky, the folk girl hurried and hurried to her husband's side, the husband was also worried about the rain immediately, so he began to eat, ready to eat and find a place to hide from the rain, but I didn't expect that it would not work after just taking a bite." Wang Tian said.
"And then?"
"In the future, adults will know, and it is the situation that Li Zheng Dibao said." Wang Tian said.
"I see! It seems that the problem lies in the fish soup. Jin Shan said.
The interrogation ended.
The next day, Jin Shan took Qi Zuo and others to the Jing Forest. Seeing the blooming wattle flowers, Jin Shan thought to himself, the more beautiful the flowers, the more poisonous they might be. You can do an experiment.
Thinking of this, he said to him, "Look at this thorn tree, is the flower poison or the leaf poisonous?" ”
"Master Qiqi, flowers are poisonous."
"Well, I can witness it. Wang Tianshi, can you still cook the same meal as last time? Jin Shan asked.
"Of course, my lord, the folk girl is willing to do it. Please wait. Wang Tian said, and then with her skillful skills, she quickly made the same meal soup as last time.
When she presented these, Jin Shan was very satisfied and felt that this was a clever daughter-in-law. Wang Ergou can marry such a daughter-in-law, which can be regarded as burning high incense.
Then, Jin Shan ordered the vitex flowers to be put into the meal, and of course, a little in the fish soup. Just like when Wang Tian accidentally broke the lid of the crockpot, a few vitex flowers fell in.
Try to recreate the situation as much as possible.
The pigs were given a little bit of the meal and soup with the wattle flowers, and then a little more to the dogs, and it wasn't long before the pigs and dogs died. So Jin Shan figured out the cause of death and knew that he had wronged Wang Tian. So he ordered him to make a record. Return to the county office.
Put Wang Tian home, declare Wang Tian innocent, go home to serve his in-laws, or remarry according to his own wishes. Wang Tian did not remarry, and concentrated on raising the son born to her and Wang Ergou, and raised his son to become an adult, so that he could take the exam in the future and become a pillar of the country.
Her decision affected the township, and many people began to look at her with admiration, she used to be regarded as a murderer, murdered her husband, had a bad reputation, and was actually hurt by rumors, she was innocent, after Jin Shan carefully solved the case, she figured out the ins and outs of this case, and finally did not let her be unjustly imprisoned, avoiding wrongful conviction and wrongful killing.
Wang Tian's case, let the radius of ten miles and eight towns know that the wattle tree flower is poisonous, I didn't know before, the flower that looks more beautiful, it is so poisonous, Wang Ergou just had the idea to back, it is considered to be the blood mold, and he actually became the first person to eat crabs, he didn't notice the wattle tree flower in the soup, he probably thought that Wang Tian's condiment in the soup, but he ate a life, and drove the crane west, but he didn't expect to bring trouble to Wang Tian's family, and there were really a hundred mouths that couldn't tell a truth. She was thought to be a murderer, which was completely a coincidence, and slowly realized this, and the villagers slowly forgot about it.
Later, I heard that Wang Tian did not remarry, and concentrated on helping his son study and become a talent, and he was in high school, which alarmed the villagers, and everyone came to congratulate, if Wang Tian remarried at that time and gave birth to a child, he may not have time to help Wang Ergou's son, then, Wang Ergou planted the field for a lifetime, and finally died in the field, and his son will also follow the old path of his father, and the result is worrying.
Wang Ergou died unexpectedly, but his son was angry, and the poor family finally came out of the devil, and Wang Tian made great contributions. Wang Tian's in-laws had nothing to say, you know, at that time, Wang Ergou died in the ground, and the two old men cried to death, but people could not be resurrected after death, only angry with their daughter-in-law, thinking that their daughter-in-law was the murderer of Wang Ergou, so they reported to the official and followed all the way, wanting to bring Wang Tian to justice, but it backfired, and finally the case surfaced, which made people understand, and slowly eliminated the hatred, and turned to the daughter-in-law's practice.
There was a process of understanding the daughter-in-law and changing the perception. Wang Tian also saw it very thoroughly, if she remarried, she would definitely not have the energy to cultivate the children she had with Wang Ergou. Then, Wang Ergou's children will still have to deal with the land in the future, and they will never be able to get out of that circle, and it will be impossible to change their lives.
An elderly man named Feng Yuan in the county government found Jin Shan tremblingly and said: "Master, most of the people who have been cut into the soil are always framed by others, and they have a bad influence in the township. ”
"Old man, what's the grievance? Let's just talk about it. ”
"My lord, when I received an escort assignment forty years ago to escort the suspect to the county office, because of the hot weather, for some reason, the criminal suddenly died violently. Because of the long distance and hot weather, I was worried about notifying my family and the county order at that time, so I was a little late, worried that the body would rot and stink, so I hastily buried it in the local area, and then returned to the county government to make a mistake. However, the family of the deceased did not forgive, and kept suing Lao Yu, saying that Lao Yu deliberately killed the suspect, changed many county orders, and always mentioned this case, disturbing Lao Yu's normal life, because there was no evidence to prove that Lao Yu deliberately killed the suspect, and the case was stranded and did not continue to be investigated. The old man is worried that they will continue to complain to the adults, so they will ask the adults to understand first. Take this opportunity to give the old man an innocence, and it is good to look at it. Feng Yuan said.
"I see! You have been wronged. This case needs to be investigated. Jin Shan said.
"Thank you, sir! Help the old man wash away the injustice, and in the future, the old man will be grateful, and let the descendants of the old man not fall into the handle, saying that the old man deliberately killed the suspect. So that no one will see the jokes. Feng Yuan said.
After sending Feng Yuan away, Jin Shan suddenly remembered what Bu Huishu had said, if you want to solve the case, especially the old case, it is best to open the coffin for an autopsy, and ask an experienced person to test and find out the cause of death, but this has been more than 40 years, and the coffin is for an autopsy, I don't know if it has any effect? Can you find a clue? If you want to investigate thoroughly, you have to start here.
After thinking of the plan, Jin Shan ordered his right-hand man, a well-known servant, to go for an examination, open the coffin for an autopsy, or more precisely, open the coffin for an examination. After many years, the corpse is long gone, and it should be a skeleton.
He asked his assistants and others to dig it, and then set up a shelf to lift the coffin onto the wooden frame.
The wood is good, there is no decay, it seems that Feng Yuan is not bad, and he chose good wood for the burial of the deceased. The coffin was unloaded by three long and two short, and the putrid soil was carefully swept away, revealing the white bones of the forest, and when you looked at it suddenly, you would be scared, and in serious cases, you would tremble, and you couldn't stop, and you didn't dare to look at it a second time.
After straightening the skeleton of the white bones, cover them with a straw mat.
Curious people rushed forward, but were stopped by the officers, standing outside the cordon, and people were talking. Some people say that they have finally come to investigate the cause of death, and they have heard that there is such a thing for a long time, and it has been a long time, can you find out the result?
Some said: "This is the cleverness of Lord Jin Shan, and he proves one thing through the case, that is, don't do evil, you will be held accountable for doing evil." ”
