Chapter 158: Whose Butcher Knife Owns
The people of Xiangyang are paying attention to this case.
The person who tried the case was the famous Li Li again.
Li Li didn't want to live up to everyone's expectations, and he also wanted to solve the case quickly, so he thought of making an autopsy report. The incision is neat, like a pig-killing knife, with a large tip and a small handle, wide at the front end and narrow at the back end, which is convenient for bloodletting. Such a knife edge can make the pig die quickly, because the blood loss is fast, and the same is true for people, the knife edge is wide, and the probability of death is greater.
Li Li thought to himself, since there is a knife, there must be a knife, this is an important tool, a tool for killing.
Li Li asked him to bring a knife, and when he looked at it, he thought to himself, this is a butcher's knife, obviously, it is a pig-killing knife used by the butcher. Could it be that the murderer is a butcher? Looking at such a killing method, it is not an ordinary person, it is not easy to use a butcher knife, it is not as convenient as a kitchen knife.
This kind of technique is quite skillful, killing with one knife, not a professional pig killer, it will not be like this, even if it is casual, you must have instinctive skills. Even though the brain was blank at the time, the hand was honest, like a conditioned reflex, and it quickly locked.
Usually very confident in solving the case, often stuck at critical moments, Li Li suddenly thought of the butcher, he can think of a way from the butcher, look for clues, maybe he will find it.
When he thought of this, he said to the people, "Tomorrow there is a big memorial service, guys. All the butchers in the city are asked to come to the house and listen to the instructions, and there is no mistake. Be sure to notify in place, there is not a single household left, and all of them are present. Everyone is ready to come to the scene immediately. ”
After he gave the order, the officials quickly understood the meaning. Go your separate ways. In the huge Xiangyang City, it will take more than half a day to notify in place.
The officials worked together, acted separately, and quickly completed the task. The point is that they are very motivated and grateful to Li Li. felt that he was a good head, and took special care of the family of the officer, and the family supported the officer, but the efficiency of the government was high, and the speed of handling the case was not said. Comparatively speaking, the backyard is fine, and the front is safe.
The next day, the butchers came, and as soon as Li Li came, he announced: "Because I have read the yellow calendar wrongly, the memorial service has been postponed to tomorrow." For everyone, I hope to bear with you. Since you have brought a butcher's knife, in order to reduce the trouble, you don't have to bring it back, lest you have to bring it again tomorrow. Let's go back first. ”
When everyone heard it, they all said that there was no problem on the surface, but they also complained in their hearts, saying that Li Li was very shrewd and cautious, why did he also have a time to go to Maicheng? Dou said that Kong Ming was clever, why did he use the wrong person to lose the street pavilion? It seems that they all have their own weaknesses. Giving the impression of a strong man is not necessarily a good thing, but it is easy to become a glass heart.
"Let's work hard again tomorrow! We look forward to welcoming you again. Li Li said again, raising his voice.
Everyone is not angry, nor is they complaining, because they know very well that this county order is good, and no county order is so polite to the people! Of course, I heard that the Jinshan County Order is also doing well in Dengcheng, and now it is even more in place in Laohekou County.
Probably Bu Huishu's students are very humble and more sympathetic to the people, so as to win the love of the people.
That is to say, if you are good to the people, the people will also support the county order, and let the people do things obediently.
When everyone dispersed, Li Li thought of a way, that is, to replace the murder weapon, that is, the knife that killed the murderer, one of the knives was hidden, and the murderous one was placed in it, which looked like a fish and a pearl, but in fact had other plans. The key to solving the case lies in this, depending on the success of the matter, it is all on this butcher's knife.
Preparing all this that night, Li Li carefully checked it again to make sure that nothing was lost.
The butchers came to the mansion of Li Li, the county magistrate, according to the time agreement, and all the butchers found their knives and stood aside waiting for the next order, but only one did not find it.
The man was round and round, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and he couldn't find his knife after searching for a long time. Apparently there was a knife there, but it wasn't his.
When Li Li found out about this situation, he asked, "Don't you have a knife?" Isn't it yours? ”
"Lord Qiyu, that knife is not mine, mine to my knowledge, this knife is not mine."
"That's weird! Everyone has taken their own knives, so why are your knives gone? ”
"I don't know if it's small!"
"That's good! Your knife will definitely be found. The security measures of this government are very perfect, the thieves will not come, if they come, they will not escape, besides, your knives are professional, if someone comes to steal, steal back unless you change to be a butcher, otherwise, the butcher knife can not be sold. No one dared to buy it. Li Li said.
"My lord, the little one is relieved. The little one hopes to find the small knife sooner. This is a small eating tool, don't lose it, without the butcher's knife, the small one will be unemployed. ”
"Hey, don't worry, your knife will be found, but, strangely, whose knife does it belong to? The knife that shouldn't be here is here, the knife that should be here isn't there, what's wrong? Li Li, as if talking to himself, was very natural and said it inadvertently.
"What am I talking about? The small one is very sure that this knife is Mao Gang's. ”
"Take a closer look, is it Mao Gang's?"
"I'm very sure, because the little one heard Mao Gang say that his knife, this one, was transported from other places. Very sharp, the little one wants to change with him, he doesn't do it, he said that this knife has been engraved with a name, that is, to give it away, the name on this knife is still there, I'm afraid someone likes this knife, remove the word, and then engrave their own name is unknown. ”
"So, where does Mao Gang's family live? Why didn't you come today? Li Li asked.
"This little one doesn't know, but he knows that he lives in the east of the city. Adults may wish to check it out. ”
"Okay, come on, go to the east of the city to arrest Mao Gang." Li Li ordered to catch quickly, threw out the order sign, and quickly took the sign and left.
Mao Gang felt that something was wrong when the officials publicized going to the government to participate in the big festival, because there had never been such an activity before, and now it suddenly happened, indicating that the county order had suspected the butcher.
Let him go to the big festival, in fact, it is a net, there is no good thing, and good things are not the turn of ordinary people, he is crawling at the grassroots level, suffering a lot, and only thinking of him when something happens, when he is fine, he is a fart, he doesn't care, and he can't turn over the waves.
He heard that the butcher was going to be investigated, and this requirement for the whole city to go to the county government was to investigate one by one, of course he was not stupid, so he chose not to go, and began to flee, because he would soon be found out that he did not go to the big festival, as long as he did not go, it would attract attention, and then said that he absconded in fear of sin.
The world is big, it is really not easy to arrest Mao Gang, he has the skill of killing pigs, he is not afraid of starvation when he travels all over the world, as long as he has the skill, he can live, he can live, he can go far, the farther he goes, the more difficult it is to be caught, and this case is far away.
In order to solve the problem once and for all, he came up with a solution called luring the snake out of the hole.
How do you get the serpent out of the hole?
That's what it does.
He first ordered that all the butchers should go home, because the suspects should be found, and for the butchers who came to participate in the great sacrifice, in order to keep them from resentment, each of them was given half a penny as compensation, because by doing so, they would not lose the hearts of the people.
The butcher who knew Mao Gang got a copper coin because he had a lot of credit, which was fair. He received half of the money as compensation for lost work, and half of the money was more than others because he said the owner of the butcher knife, which made it possible to solve the case.
Li Li has clear rewards and punishments, and if he wants to lure the snake out of the hole, he must first let the wind out to the outside world, saying that the criminal suspect has been arrested, and the sentence will be pronounced and executed at a later date.
Where do people go to find them? This is not difficult for Li Li, he found a prisoner on death row in the cell, and then arranged to go down, and posted announcements in the streets and alleys, everywhere, everywhere, saying that Pian Pian Gongzi was suspected of murder, had pleaded guilty to the law, and was ready to be executed that night to promote the authority of the law.
This news quickly spread all over Xiangyang City, all corners, ordinary alleys, no one knows, no one knows, Li Li's purpose is like this, not only the entire Xiangyang people know, but also let the surrounding people who care about this case know. Because the influence of this case has surpassed that of Xiangyang County, it has been heard in other places.
When they heard about it, they became more and more interested, and that night, the condemned prisoner was executed, beheaded and displayed to the public, and they ran around the city and outside the city to tell each other, and the hanging stone in everyone's hearts fell to the ground.
After this turmoil, everyone talked about it, but they felt that the murderer had finally received retribution, but those who liked to think didn't think so, and felt that the death of the young man was strange, because there was not enough sufficient evidence to prove that he did the case. There are a lot of doubts, but there is no way to raise them, and even if they do, Li Li will not admit it, because Li Li knows in his heart, if he admits it, then there will be a lot of reactions, and he has to be tired of coping.
The offender has been corrected, and everyone has returned to a peaceful life.
Among them, Mao Gang paid close attention to this case, and knew that someone had been sentenced to death and had been executed, it was the handsome son who hooked up with his little daughter-in-law and killed her, he was very happy, and scolded: "People say that Li Li is shrewd in handling cases, and he is a county order that enforces the law like a mountain and a mirror, but I just heard about it, and through this matter, it can be seen that it is nothing more than that!" This man is just a bastard, the damned get away with it, and the undeserving one is dead, wronged, really wronged. ”
Scolding and scolding, you still have to go home, no matter how good it is outside, it is also someone else's, it is better to go back to your hometown at ease, he looks at it is no problem, the criminal has been corrected, the sentence has been executed, and there will be no second death row prisoner, what else is there to worry about? What is there to be afraid of? Go home, go home, nothing can stop you from going home!
His wishful thinking was well played, and this arrangement was very ingenious, and he hurried home, and when he saw that his house was in the east of the city, he was happy and felt very comfortable.
Besides, Li Li made a big fanfare and carried out an activity, which was to let a person who should have been executed change his name and surname and become a young man, which means to lure the snake out of the hole, as long as the snake smells a safe breath, it will come out of the hole. Right now, it is a time of security, and the end of a case ends with the punishment of the wicked and the death of the murderer. This is a simple truth.
After Li Li let the wind out, he arranged for the catcher to lurk around Mao Gang's house, spread his net, and prepared to capture Mao Gang alive, which was the method of guarding the plant and waiting for the rabbit.
No fox, no matter how cunning, can escape the palm of a good hunter.
As soon as Mao Gang walked into the courtyard, he was quickly surrounded by arrests, and Mao Gang said, "You have caught the wrong one!" ”
"What's your name?"
"Mao Gang!"
"Is this knife yours?" Catcher said quickly, and then asked with a butcher knife.
"It's not." Mao Gang immediately replied, categorical and unambiguous, he knew very well that once he admitted that the knife was his, then he would be severely punished. Fortunately, there were no other witnesses to prove that the knife was his.
"Are you Mao Gang?" Catch quickly asked again.
"Yes."
"What do you do for a living?" Catch up and ask.
"I kill pigs, and I make a living by killing pigs."
"Okay, that's right, come with us!" Catch it quickly.
Then seeing that Mao Gang was a little hesitant, he immediately put shackles on him and took him away.
When he arrived at the county office, Li Li had already arranged witnesses, and when they met, he asked: "Mao Gang, do you think that this official's decision on the case is a little rash, right?" ”
"Yes, I think it's a bit sloppy. That boy died unjustly. Mao Gang said.
"Do you really think it's the son who died?"
"That's still fake! It was clearly written on the announcement. ”
"That's a ploy to lure the snake out of the hole, if not, will you come back?"
"That is, the person who died is not a childe? Is it someone else? ”
"That's right, it wasn't Gongzi who died, it was another murderer who died, and he was ready to kill him a long time ago, because something else was delayed, so kill it now, so as to give an explanation."
"Understood, that is, Childe is still alive."
"Yes, alive, he didn't kill anyone, it was you who killed people!"
"How can you tell it's me?"
"Quite simply, the knife is yours. If the crime is found and you don't run, the officer still needs to take time to find the suspect. As soon as you run, there must be suspicions, and someone knows your knife and identifies it as you, and the official knows that you are a murderer based on a lot of evidence and reasonable reasoning. Li Li said.
"Your Excellency is so clever! It's strange that the little ones are wrong about the adults, but the adults are actually very smart. Mao Gang said.
"You don't have to put a high hat on the official, killing people to pay for your life, paying off debts, it's right, but if you want to explain why you want to kill your little daughter-in-law, you have to listen to it and see if killing is necessary, and if there are any other options. Are you a vendetta? Does the little daughter-in-law have a grudge against you? Li Li said.
"There is no resentment in the distant future, and there is no enmity in the near future."
"Then why kill people?"
"My lord, it's a pure misunderstanding."
"How was it a misunderstanding?"
"Adult, the little one has a hard life, he became a butcher, killed pigs for a living, but the problem of eating was solved, but he couldn't eat enough, and he didn't save money, seeing that the eldest was not small, and he was not married, because the family was poor, and there was no matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage, because the matchmaker knew that the little one did not thank the matchmaker for the money, and he had it in his heart, but he couldn't take it out. came and went, and the best age for marriage was delayed. However, when the man is married, the woman should be married, and when it is time to get married, she must marry so as not to make mistakes. So, the little one began to prepare for marriage. Mao Gang said.
