At this moment, I want to beat the village chief's heart to death."

Maybe he was anxious by my series of questions, and the answers were slurthered.

"Police...... Police, police officer. Our village has existed in this village since my grandfather's generation, and some things that have been stipulated and tacitly accepted since the feudal period of the Republic of China have been regulated, and we can't say to change anything, which is already a kind of social culture similar to our village. It can't be changed. The village chief said as if with an innocent face.

"Sooner or later, village rules like yours will be banned, use the criminal law privately, punish and kill criminal suspects without authorization, although they are heinous crimes, but they will eventually be punished by the law, and it is not your turn to deal with them privately!" Speaking of which, my emotions have come up a little.

"Then tell me, what does the burning of the suspect look like?" I asked again.

"There are three types of so-called burning at the stake. In the first case, if there is no excessive violation of the village rules, the punishment is to gather the people of the village at night, burn a bonfire, and let the erring villager walk over the red and purple coals after the bonfire is finished. That way, they won't make mistakes again and they'll be able to learn from them! The village director said calmly. As if all this had nothing to do with him.

"What kind of crime will be punished like this?" I couldn't help but ask.

"As long as it is theft, robbery, or being accused of corruption, once it is discovered, the whole village is unanimously opposed. If it is more serious, it will be required to punish it more severely, and of course it will have to be pleasing to the people.

”

"I can't help but gasp at the moment, go with the people's heart? This is not the formation of a political system of its own. If that's the case, it's terrible, and the people here know how to use private criminal law to bind the villagers, and generally no one would agree to such an approach.

”

"But seeing what the village director said like this, I think this has formed a small society, the people's will, and the villagers are the biggest heart-eropers and promoters here!" Thinking of this, my sweat and pores suddenly tightened a lot. To get more information, I continued to ask.

"And what is the second type of criminal law on your side?" I asked again.

"The second? The second is still burning at the stake, which has been said in our village since ancient times.

”

"That is, a long, long time ago, a girl in our village was captured by people from a neighboring village outside the village and taken as a daughter-in-law, but this woman is the daughter of our local village chief, and has been treated as a treasure, and when she was thinking about how to save her, his daughter's body appeared at the village gate the next morning, without clothes.

"The village chief fainted when he saw his daughter's body that morning, and never woke up again, his eyes were wide open on the day he left, and he died because he couldn't bear the blow, and he didn't blink his eyes!"

"Then the whole village was ready to organize to help the village chief find this justice, trying to arrest the other party to accompany the burial, on that day the whole village ran to Ling Village with torches, regardless of the other party's obstruction, rushed into that person's house, and set fire to people!"

"But it's a pity that I couldn't find that person, and since then, the people in the village have established the village rules!" In the future, the descendants surnamed Li who caught him will be killed! Since that person was not caught, let his children and grandchildren pay it back! ”

The village chief said viciously, as if he hated that man to the core.

"So much so that after this incident, some people proposed to set up a new rule to commemorate our innocent death of the village chief, who took great care of everyone on weekdays before his death. Whoever has no rice and almost needs help, the village chief sees it and silently does good deeds to help them. At this moment, the village chief seems to be telling something unwilling.

But by this point I've probably understood.

The village chief continued. "Our village rules are also due to the development of this matter, so we use Huoxing in the regulations, in order to commemorate our village chief forever!" The village chief said solemnly.

"Then the second new rule is that if someone kills someone in the village, colludes with the people of Ling Village to persecute the interests of the village, or the circumstances are particularly bad, they will be punished with a pigcage fire!"

"But in my opinion, this village chief is too extreme, I must apply for this village to be banned, I may not have contact with the outside world for a long time, they are so sad, and I don't know what crime has been committed!"

"What does a pig cage burn look like at the stake? I asked curiously. ”

"Immersing the stake is a very painful penal law, which is to put the person in a cage that resembles a modern seesaw, which can be turned, and then on one side is the burning wood and on the other is a two-meter-deep pool.

”

"Put the offender inside, turn it one hundred and eighty degrees through the turning seesaw, the time is about thirty seconds, and the person inside will first bake it against the torch for thirty seconds, then put it in the pool and submerge it for thirty seconds, and then scoop it up and put it on the fire to roast!" The village chief introduced me unhurriedly.

"So what will happen to this person in the end? How long can it last? I asked kindly.

"Generally speaking, one or two hours, and one afternoon if he is in good physical condition, until he dies!"

"Si~, such a cruel criminal law directly puts people to death, the private criminal law here is simply hell, it seems that we have to stop such a terrible negative culture in this village." I thought to myself.

"And what about the third one? I couldn't help but keep asking. ”

"The third type, mainly aimed at intentional homicide, rape of others, especially rape, is also due to the incident of the village chief's daughter, it is precisely because of such a feeling, then the criminal law in the village is relatively straightforward, the criminal law is relatively straightforward, the criminal person is naked and tied to a made cross, and then the cross is hung high, and a firewood pile is piled up under the cross, and then it is burned all the time! Until you burn to death! The village chief was talking to me at the moment, and from his expression, I thought he was shuddering.

"Has Wang Yan in the village offended anyone recently?" Now I'm down to business. As for the people surnamed Li in the neighboring village mentioned by the village chief, they can consider it as a very important clue to investigate.

"Because it is impossible to say that he was killed for no reason, and his body was destroyed."

"Come back to the police station and make a record." I said to the village chief.

”

Then I walked over to Huang Na.

”

"Do you have any clues here!?

"We have some information about the deceased here,

It was asked from a neighbor of the deceased. Wang Yan gave birth to a child soon after she came back from resigning from the outside, and I heard that his husband sent her back once, and never showed up again, and she has always been very compatible, that is, sometimes Wang Lin and Cao Fei in the same village like to chat with Wang Yan when they are free. ”

"I guess that Wang Yan's death is related to Wang Caofei and Wang Lin, the two of them are the people who have the most direct contact and the last contact, I think that starting with the two of them can get more information about the deceased, and it is also convenient for us to get more clues."

And Xigui and Wang San didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence to Huang Na's analysis.

"Zhou Cheng, you have been talking to the village chief for so long, what did you learn about it?" Xigui suddenly asked.

"I just asked the village chief about something. At this point, I already have some guesses, what you said is not very different from what I know, is he lying to me?

"It shouldn't be, wait until he finishes the transcript and then conduct a unified investigation.
