February 9th of the second year of the Heavenly Sage.

Huaiyang City, Xuanran Fang, Dahai Lane, a Zhou family.

At about three o'clock in the morning, the farmer Zhou Shiqi returned home and found that his wife had committed adultery with his neighbor Wang Datou.

Zhou Shiqi was furious and fought with Wang Datou.

When his wife Zhou Yang dissuaded him, he was punched several times, and when he fell, he hit his head on the foot of the bed and died.

Looking at the confession, Zhou Shi and Wang Datou insisted on their own words, and flatly denied killing Zhou by mistake.

Zhou Shi said: "The villain's wife committed adultery with Wang Datou, but the villain's wife and the villain's husband and wife relationship are still there. ”

"It's that Wang Datou, seeing that my husband and wife joined hands to beat him, in a rage, he dragged my wife, punched her a few times, I held Wang Datou to prevent him from doing anything to his wife again, Wang Datou pushed the villain's wife down, and I scuffled together, after a while, the villain found that the villain's wife just hit her head on the bed, and died tragically on the spot, begging the adult to preside over justice for the little one!"

Wang Datou said: "Zhou Shi lost and beat the villain and Zhou Yang's family, and even punched and kicked Zhou Yang's body, the villain was worried that something would happen to Zhou Yang's family, and he kept protecting it, but Zhou Shiqi was angry, dragged the villain aside, and then punched Zhou Yang's a few punches, hit Zhou Yang's stumbling, hit his head on the bed when he fell, and died. ”

"The villain knows that it is a big crime to commit adultery with a married man, and it is absolutely impossible to kill again, or to kill the mistress, isn't the villain asking for his own death, please be enlightened!"

Ye Qing read through the confession record without clues, and turned another page, which depicted the scene in the house when Zhou Yang died.

The house is two square feet, the door is open to the south, the bed is placed in the northeast corner of the house, and the head of the bed is north and the tail is south.

Zhou Yang's corpse was next to the southwest corner of the bed, with the head of the body in the northeast and the feet in the southwest, leaning on the tail of the bed.

Ye Qing's gaze fell on the side of the atlas again, which recorded the words of the book:

The body is Huaiyang City, Xuanran Fang, Dahai Lane, a family, Zhou Shiyi's wife, Zhou Yang's Yang Rongrong.

At the age of twenty-eight, Yu Shenzheng died at the end of the bed facing north and south.

Poorly clothed and disheveled.

The corpse was seated in the southwest corner of the bed, with its face facing southwest, the top of its head facing upwards, and the soles of its feet facing southwest.

With your hands spread out, your legs spread out, and your body naturally sitting.

The face is hideous, the eyes are open and the mouth is open, and the seven orifices are clean.

The middle of the posterior skull is oblique to the right, the skull is ruptured, and the wound is one and a half inches long and half an inch deep, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, which is a normal impact injury.

The wound is anastomosed at the tip of the southwest corner of the bed.

There are fist marks and bruises on the left side of the chest, which seem to be caused by the superposition of the two punches.

There are scratches on both arms and bruises on the middle of the left outer thigh.

The autopsy showed that the five organs were not poisoned.

After examination, the deceased Zhou Yang's back head hit the foot of the bed, and the skull was ruptured, injuring the brain and dying, and the death was no different.

He wrote a congratulatory text and a book on the ninth day of February in the second year of the Heavenly Sage.

After reading it again.

Ye Qing's gaze fell on the name 'He Wen'.

The previous murder case of Li Yuanwai's concubine was the autopsy of He Wen and the record of the autopsy.

He opened his mouth and asked Wang Liudao:

"Brother Wang, how many people are there in our mansion?"

As he spoke, he raised the dossier in his hand and continued:

"The previous case of the Li Mansion, as well as this case, I think the autopsy was all done by this He Wenhe."

Mention the congratulatory text.

Wang Liu's legs didn't tremble, and he didn't stilt his legs, he sat straight, and said with admiration on his face:

"There are three of our mansions, but the He Zuo you are talking about is really a strange person, he is now sixteen years old, and he has been a puppet for two years, and he has a great reputation in our Huaiyang Mansion."

"When he was six years old, he followed the old man to learn the means of autopsy, and when he entered the government at the age of fourteen, he showed a clever autopsy method, and then he showed superb means of investigating and judging cases."

"In Yangzhou, if there is a corpse that cannot be found and an unsolved murder case that cannot be solved, he will find our Huaiyang Mansion and seconded He Qizuo to investigate the case.

"Our prefect sees him as a talent and wants to promote him, but he said that he is still young and cannot take on heavy responsibilities for the time being, and he must learn more and watch more, which is very calm."

"Moreover, Yangzhou Assassin asked him to go to Yangzhou to take up a post, but he bluntly refused, and made it clear that he wanted to follow our prefect, but our prefect was so happy that he pulled He Wen to get drunk."

"After waking up, I put down the cruel words in our mansion, if anyone is unhappy with He, the prefect will directly clean up whom!"

Looking at Wang Liu's admiring appearance, Ye Qing couldn't help but appreciate:

"According to you, he is indeed a strange man."

Yangzhou is Shangzhou, the history of the assassin is from the three products, the jurisdiction is vast, the power is huge, far from the Huaiyang prefect can be compared.

At a young age, He Wen bluntly refused the other party's solicitation, which meant slapping the other party's face.

It's no wonder that Chen Yuming is so happy and protective.

Come to think of this.

Ye Qing clicked on the trial written by the wardener of the torture room on the file and said:

"The murderer that our warden judged is Wang Datou."

"If this case is strange and unjust, then wouldn't it be possible to judge Zhou Shiyi as the murderer?"

As he spoke, Wang Liu took the file and looked at the records on it.

At the same time, Ye Qing continued:

"This case, He Yanzuo made a comment, the death is no different, according to what you said, he judged the case wisely, he should be able to see who the murderer is, right?"

"Why not just name the killer? Brother Wang, can you tell me no about this? ”

Wang Liu, who was reading the file, knew that Ye Qing didn't understand the rules, and when he saw that he asked directly, he patiently explained:

"Cases involving human lives, regardless of the dignity of the sufferer and the suspect, will inevitably alarm the prefect, if the impact is not great, and few people know, the case will be tried by our torture room first, and then handed over to the prefect for review."

"On the contrary, if the impact is greater, the prefect will first open a court to try the case, focusing on appeasing the people, and then hand it over to the torture room for review."

"When the investigation is discovered, the prefect will finally open the hall and summon the people of Huaiyang to attend the trial, and make a final decision."

"In this way, it can greatly reduce the probability of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, and can also appease people's hearts and deter small people."

Ye Qing nodded, and Wang Liu flipped another page of the dossier and continued:

"The suspect in this case, Wang Datou, has been temporarily sent to the prison after the preliminary trial in the torture room, and Wang Datou has been crying out in prison, because of your suggestion, I reported it to the prefect."

"Therefore, for the time being, it will be counted as an unjust case, and let you investigate this case, I think it is for you to try it again, and then hand it over to the prefect for final trial and decision."

Ye Qing, who knew what was going on, bowed his head again and said: "So that's the case, I thought that the murder case would be reviewed by the torture room or the prefect once. ”

Wang Liu closed the file and said with a smile: "Human life is a matter of heaven, don't say that our prefect can't tolerate sand in his eyes, even if it is the state capitals of the Divine Enlightenment, they are all cautious about human murders." ”

"As for what you said about He Chengzuo, you can see who the real culprit is in this case."

"He won't care about such a small case, according to the regulations of the government, after the autopsy, he won't care."

"By the way, this He Qizuo is a showman, and he is busy reviewing his homework and preparing for the autumn exam, and it is impossible to take care of these small cases."

Hear the last.

A look of envy appeared in Ye Qing's eyes.

Most of them are lowly people, and there are few civilians, and this line of work is in the same vein, because it deals with the dead, and it can be called a disgusting dog.

Even if he becomes an official and is a servant, he is more despised than ordinary lowly status.

This He Wen, as a servant, can actually participate in the scientific examination, I don't know if it is the same path as him.

He sighed with emotion:

"He is a talented man at the age of sixteen, what a strange person."

Wang Liu was very approving of the first word:

"This is not the strangest thing, I forgot to say it, the most strange thing is that He Chengzuo is still an orphan, and he was adopted and raised by the old man Xiao Wangxiao, who was appointed by the government government since he was a child."

"Old Man Xiao was a famous work of divine revelation back then, and he was summoned by the saint and almost entered the Dali Temple to serve."

"With his life's merits, Old Man Xiao gave He Qizuo the opportunity to change his household registration and become a commoner."

"This is in exchange for the opportunity for him to participate in the imperial examination."

The twists and turns of the bizarre story, Ye Qing was dumbfounded.

He secretly said in his heart: "I'm the second Ao, this is the real traverser template." ”

"Orphan, an old man with a long background, a chance to change his life against the sky, numb, why don't I have it!!"

Stompe!

Dense and hurried footsteps came from afar.

Wang Liu raised his eyes to look outside the house, and said with a smile:

"Qing Xiaolang, there are a lot of people, and then it depends on how you try the case."
