Pearl Volume VIII: Analysis of the Case
"Why, you still plan to be a matchmaker. ”
"Why not, I'm idle anyway, I'm idle, and a couple, and I can accumulate some yin virtue to make up for the sins caused by the killing in the past. Speaking of this, her eyes couldn't help but dim.
Knowing what his wife said, the stupid Ayi didn't know how to comfort her, so he had to work hard.
"Slow down, no one is robbing you. Knowing his personality, his wife also sped up the pace of eating.
On the way there, there were already a lot of people rushing here. When they came to the east end of the village, they found that many people had already arrived, and they were gathered outside the dog's house, nervously discussing something.
The second wife lives in the east of the village and is a well-known matchmaker. She has known Goudan's father for a long time, and she grew up watching Goudan, so when she saw that Goudan's boss was not small, she wanted to help him say a kiss.
So I found the father of the dog.
The dog father is naturally happy, watching his son idle and idle all day long, and the old man is also anxious. Thinking that if his son can marry a daughter-in-law, maybe he will be able to press his temperament, and more importantly, he will be able to carry on the family lineage.
So, the matter was settled.
After a few days of running, the second woman finally made peace with her three-inch tongue. The woman's parents asked to see the dog today.
Early this morning, the second mother-in-law dressed up neatly and went to Goudan's house to see how they prepared.
As soon as they entered their yard, the second woman saw the dog with his head tilted and lying in front of his thatched house.
"What's wrong with this little dog, it's okay to sleep outside, and I'm not afraid of catching a cold. ”
Thinking of this, the second woman stepped forward and wanted to wake up the dog.
But in the end, she still found out that the dog was dead.
By the time she had stabilized a little, she was already sitting on the ground.
Frightened, she rushed to the dog's house and wanted to wake her up.
But the situation that caught her eyes finally made her completely collapse and let out a terrifying cry.
There is no entertainment in the village, so I go to bed early and wake up early at night.
When the second woman screamed, many people had already gotten up. After hearing the screams, they rushed to the scene.
Soon, the village chief was invited.
Although the village chief is a respected old man in the village, he has never encountered such a thing, so he hurriedly asked the fast runner to go to the town to report the case.
When Ayi and his daughter-in-law came, the official errand of the county government had not yet arrived, and everyone did not dare to clean up the scene, so they only helped the second mother-in-law to the outermost part and sat down.
The second woman was already frightened and delirious at this time, yelling for a while, and trembling for a while, which made people really unbearable to watch.
Ayi usually has a very good relationship with Goudan, but now that he heard that his father and son were killed, he couldn't believe it, the person who was alive yesterday is gone today.
On the spot, he was going to rush to the courtyard to see what was going on. He really didn't believe that a person who was fine yesterday was suddenly gone.
But before he could move, he was stopped by his daughter-in-law.
"Don't be impulsive, it's not easy, don't hurt others because of your momentary emotions. ”
At this time, I heard a few people behind me shouting: "Get out of the way, get out of the way, get out of the way." The yamen sent people to handle the case, and other idle people and others flashed away. ”
Hearing this, the crowd of onlookers automatically moved out of the way and let the official enter the scene of the crime.
There weren't many people coming, only three people in total. The middle messenger walked at the front, followed by two messengers.
When he entered the scene, before the messenger could speak, the messenger behind him said, "Where is the village chief, come and salute us." ”
"Yes, yes. ”
The village chief who was called over hurriedly saluted the three messengers: "Three adults, the little old man is polite." ”
"Old people don't have to be so polite. The poor man hurriedly helped the village chief and said, "Old man, this case can't be finished for a while, you can appease everyone first." ”
"Yes. ”
"Your Excellency. After the village chief left, the messenger on the side spoke: "Such a small case, why do you need to take action in person, our two brothers can easily solve it." At that time, the credit will be all yours, as long as you don't forget our goodness. ”
When the poor heard this, he smiled slightly: "Then you will check first, and I will go on if there is any problem." ”
As soon as he heard that he had a chance to perform, the messenger suddenly felt taller.
"But you investigate the case and investigate the case, and be respectful of the object of the inquiry. ”
"Got it, sir. ”
"Village Chief, come here. Although he was almost instructed, he was used to commanding the people, and it was not easy for him to temporarily lower his figure. "I ask you, who did the deceased come into contact with yesterday?"
"Back to the adult, yesterday his father has been at home, in the afternoon, I passed by his door, and found that he and the second wife had a conversation and laughter. As for the dog, he went to town with Ayi yesterday. ”
"Go and get me both of them, and I'll interrogate them one by one. ”
Ah Yi and the second wife were both at the scene, so they were immediately called to the officer.
"Are you the second wife?"
At this time, although the second woman was shocked, she was much better than just now, and she could talk to people normally.
"Are you the second wife?"
"Yes. The second woman said a little unruly.
"Then you're Ayi. ”
"Exactly. ”
It's not nonsense, who is the identity of the two, you can know it at a glance. It's just that he wants to enjoy the feeling of being on top.
"Second wife, let me ask you, what do you think of his father's usual behavior, and have you offended anyone?"
"My lord, my father and I have known each other since childhood, he is hardworking and honest, harmonious with his neighbors, and has never blushed with others. ”
"What did you do when you went to him yesterday afternoon?"
"That's right, some time ago, Daddy Dog came to me and wanted me to talk about his son. After some running, it has been said that the woman's parents asked to see the dog today. I was going to talk about it yesterday and get them ready. ”
"Hmmm......"
After asking the second woman, the messenger continued to ask: "Ayi, you went to the town with Goudan yesterday, did anything special happen?"
"There is indeed one piece. Ayi replied honestly.
"Tell me about it. ”
"Yes. Here's the thing......"
So, Ayi recounted what happened in the town yesterday.
After listening to Ayi's words, the servant sneered: "Joke, a scholar, how can you defeat two big men, you are clearly lying." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, another officer beside him spoke: "Hey, what he said is really not a lie, my neighbor saw it with his own eyes." ”
"Well, I see. The errand officer turned around and clenched his fist at the errand and said, "My lord, this case has been solved, and the murderer is Ayi." ”
"Huh?" The head almost didn't laugh, this case was tried too quickly, are you the reincarnation of Bao Gong, or the reincarnation of Di Renjie.
"What evidence do you have?"
"Sir, listen to my analysis. Yesterday, the scholar gave Ah Yi money, but Ah Yi confiscated it and was kept by the dog. On the way back, Ayi asked the dog to return the money to him. But when the dog gets the money, how can he spit it out again. When Ayi returned home, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, so he took advantage of the night to come to Godan's house and wanted to steal the money back. Unexpectedly, he was hit by the dog egg that came out of the thatched house, and the two talked again, and under the dispute, Ayi strangled the dog egg to death. Because the movement was too loud, it alarmed the sleeping dog in the house. As soon as the old man went out, he saw the body of his son. Ayi, who found out that the matter was exposed, simply didn't do anything, and killed the dog's father. ”
Speaking of his reasoning and analysis, the errand was very complacent.
Unexpectedly, I heard someone say: "I thought it was a subtle reasoning and analysis, but it turned out to be nonsense and storytelling." ”
"Who would dare to say that Bencha is telling a story. ”
When the village chief saw this, he was anxious, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "This messenger, she is Ayi's daughter-in-law, and the countrymen don't understand anything. ”
"Hmph!" In front of the poor head, this catcher showed restraint and did not attack on the spot.
But his colleagues don't think so, this opportunity for performance is not for you alone.
Thinking of this, the catcher quickly said, "Brother, since this woman is not convinced, you give her a chance to defend herself." When you convince her, you will be able to do so. ”
Although "this ......" is afraid of losing face, he thinks about how capable a country woman can be.
"Ayi daughter-in-law, you think that what Bencha said is wrong, then what is wrong with what you say, even if you say it. ”
"This fast catcher, everything is about evidence, what evidence do you have to prove that my husband killed people for money. ”
"Hahahaha, it's not obvious, what the dog is holding in his hand is the money your husband is going to steal. ”
"Lord Catcher, my husband is saying that the other party gave the dog eggs and silver, but now what he holds in his hand is gold, how can this be explained? ”
"Perhaps, your husband is hiding that there is still a piece of gold. ”
"If you want to hide it, why don't you just hide it from the silver. Moreover, the man who gave the money took place in the streets, and many people could see it. If you suspect that there is any other gold, you can go to the town and ask about it. ”
"This ......"
"Also, you said that my husband had an argument with the dog over the silver, and finally killed someone by mistake, so why was there no fight at all?"
"That's because your husband has already dealt with it. ”
"Dog's father was killed because he saw his son's body in the yard, why is his body on the bed in his room. ”
"Your husband put his body back on the bed while he was cleaning up the scene. ”
In that case, why didn't he send back the dog's body as well. ”
"Maybe it's because of the fight, so the people around you heard it, so your husband left in a hurry, and didn't have time to carry the dog's carcass. ”
"You said my husband killed for money, so why didn't he take the money from the dog's hand. ”
"That was the first time he had killed someone, and by the time he came to his senses, there were already two bodies at the scene. In a panic, he was in a hurry, and he didn't care if he had any money or not. ”
