Daming King of Punishment

The county magistrate Situ had no choice but to follow Situ Wen to the murder scene in the east wing.

The arresting general briefly reported the many discoveries made by the county magistrate Situ.Magistrate Situ half-understood what he heard, and said with some disappointment: "What kind of major discovery is this? There is no real conclusion."

Song Wuya said confidently: "My lord, don't get restless after a while, the conclusion will come soon!"

He turned around and said quickly to Bao Butou: "Bao Butou, please spread this thin quilt on the bed, and touch it carefully with the palm of your hand. If my prediction is right, I will definitely find something!"

Bao Butou was eager to know the answer, so according to Song Wuya, he spread the quilt on the bed and touched it carefully with his palms.Situ Wen was also anxious, so she also stepped forward to help and groped under the quilt.

Song Wuya clasped his handcuffs and iron chains together, instead of the three of them searching together like before, but stood by and watched.This is also where he is so sophisticated.At present, the County Magistrate Situ is present to witness that at this critical moment, it is more appropriate to find the key evidence through the hands of Baobutou or Situ Wen.Otherwise, maybe the county magistrate Situ, who had a deep prejudice against him, would suspect that he had tampered with the evidence, thus doubting the effectiveness of the evidence that was about to be revealed.

Sure enough, soon, Situ Wen screamed "Ah!"

Chapter 8 Vase Porcelain

Chapter 8 Vase Porcelain

"My hand was tied by something!" Situ Wen complained, pulled out a fine granular thing from the flesh of her palm, looked carefully, and said, "It's broken porcelain slag, hanging in the quilt. There is a piece of porcelain, which cut my hand!"

Magistrate Situ didn't understand yet, he just said with concern: "Wen'er, don't meddle, go and bandage your palms."

Song Wuya laughed, and said, "That's right. Miss Situ, what you're looking for is the porcelain pieces! You put the porcelain pieces you found aside, and continue looking."

But after a while, Bao Bukuai and Situ Wen groped through the entire quilt, and found many large and small pieces of porcelain, the small ones were about the size of soybean grains, and the big ones were as big as fingernails.

Although County Magistrate Situ hadn't figured it out yet, he also felt that this was a bit strange at this moment, pointing to these porcelain pieces and asked Song Wuya, "What's going on? Why are there so many pieces of porcelain stuck to the quilt?" ? Does the person sleeping here have a piece of wild boar skin that is not afraid of pricking?"

Song Wuya smiled slightly, and softly uttered two words: "Vase."

Situ Wen reacted quickly, and suddenly realized: "Yes! This vase was smashed by the murderer wrapped in a quilt, and then the pieces were shaken to the ground near the cabinet, creating the illusion that the vase fell from the cabinet, but the small porcelain The slag stuck to the quilt! It’s like the murderer wrapped the inkstone with a quilt to commit the crime, and there were ink stains on the quilt and missing corners that fell off the inkstone. That’s why I didn’t hear the vase break in the quiet night The reason for the sound, because the sound of breaking the vase is relatively small!"

Bao Bao soon understood, and blurted out: "Yes! This shows that Song Wuya didn't knock down the vase on the top of the cabinet in a panic at all on the night of the crime, and then knocked himself unconscious under the cabinet! Boss There was a quilt wrapped around the vase that couldn’t fall from the top of the cabinet, and then the quilt flew back to the bed, right? This also shows that he is not the murderer at all. Attacked in the dark, knocked unconscious at the scene of the murder, set the blame on!"

After finishing these words in one breath, Bao Bukuai felt a little regretful immediately, feeling that he had spoken too fast and should not have drawn important conclusions before Magistrate Situ said anything.Even so, he has already agreed with his conclusion that "Song Wuya is not a murderer at all" from the bottom of his heart.

The county magistrate Situ was confused and felt a little confused, but he couldn't say that he didn't understand.The two eyebrows that were already crowded on his pointed and thin face were suddenly furrowed, and he asked tentatively, "Is there any other proof?"

"There are proofs." Song Wuya turned to Situ Wen and said, "Miss Situ, you are a girl, you are careful and have good eyesight. Please help me find the porcelain pieces you found on the quilt, and the original big pieces on the ground. Compare the fragments to see if they belong to the same porcelain?"

Situ Wen gave Song Wuya a strange look, thinking how this person has become not only smart and knowledgeable, but also so polite and polite, even a bit too polite, he is simply rusty, saying "Miss Situ", One bite at a time is "workable".Although she has always been at odds with Song Wuya in the past, but at the same time, she is very familiar with each other. She always talks good and bad, quarrels whenever she wants, and rolls her eyes when she wants to. It's not like what she is doing now. She feels that Song Wuya treated himself like a stranger he just met.

Situ Wen picked a larger piece from the small pile of porcelain shards on the table, and compared it with the large pieces on the ground.Sure enough, the texture, color and texture of the two types of porcelain are generally the same.

"it's the same."

After Situ Wen said this, Song Wuya let out a long breath and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.Until now, he was sure that old man Liu, the big-name executioner "Cutting Undead", didn't need to come here on business, and he didn't have to think about how much oil he could fry from the fat on his body. His little life was finally for him. I saved myself.

At the same time, Situ Wen herself breathed a sigh of relief, Song Wuya was not the murderer who killed his father, and at least his father would not regret it when he was under Jiuquan.She was also secretly glad that she agreed to Song Wuya's request for a retrial today.Otherwise, Song Wuya would definitely not be able to escape Ling Chi's execution.No matter how much Song Wuya was wrong, he was someone his father valued very much.If the father learned that the son-in-law he regarded as his own son died because he was wronged, how could the ghost of the old man find peace?She has become a very unfilial daughter, so how can she have the face to live in the world?

These many thoughts rushed into Situ Wen's heart along with pain, regret, happiness and fear, which made her feel mixed and stood silently in place.

Song Wuya caught a glimpse of her beautiful eyes glistening with tears, so he asked casually: "Miss Situ, are you glad that I was exonerated, are you crying with joy?"

As soon as she asked this, Situ Wen immediately stopped her tears, lowered her face, and said coldly: "Don't be too sentimental! I'm just congratulating my father, what has it got to do with you?"

Song Wuya bumped into such a thorn in his face, so he could only smile embarrassingly.He understood that although he said that he was the fiancé of this cold-faced beauty, he had no weight in her heart. Even if she showed some kindness, it was because of her father.This can't be blamed on other people, if it's to blame, it can only be blamed on the terrible impression I gave her in the past.

At this point, the investigation of the scene is complete and the evidence is complete, so there is no need to stay in this unlucky room anymore.The group returned to Situ's mansion and sat down in the living room. The old housekeeper, Lao Liangtou, served tea to everyone in person.At this time Song Wuya was still in shackles, and the servants in the mansion did not arrange a seat for him.Even so, everyone's attitude towards Song Wuya has obviously changed greatly, at least they no longer looked at him with that contemptuous and hateful look.

Situ Wen pointed to Song Wuya who was standing helplessly in the hall with his hands clasped in shackles, and told Old Liang: "Uncle Liang, bring another chair and serve me a bowl of tea."

Old Liangtou was in charge of receiving guests at Situ's house. He had already cultivated a good look for the 30s, and when he saw his lady said that he wanted to show Song Wuya tea, he already understood Song Wuya's favor. Wu Ya's suspicion of murder should have been cleared during this retrial, so he quickly went to the back hall and brought a rattan chair with a backrest and put it behind Song Wuya, and said respectfully: "Master Song, please sit down."

It was very natural to call "Young Master Song" in Lao Liangtou. Song Wuya had always been regarded as the half-master of Situ's family, and he was very familiar with serving him.However, Song Wuya heard these three words, but he couldn't help feeling a lot of emotion: In the two days since he traveled to Daming, he has learned how many kinds of names, except for his own. His righteous friend Bai Zhuo politely called "Brother Bai" a few times, but everyone else called him "a little bastard who killed a thousand knives", "a wolf-hearted villain", "a heartless jackal", etc. wait.

It wasn't until this moment that Song Wuya felt that he had become a human being in Daming.

Butler Liang brought a bowl of tea, and Song Wuya took a sip while holding the tea bowl with both hands. He immediately felt refreshed and clear, as if the tea had never tasted so good.

After serving tea to the people sitting in the living room, Magistrate Situ put down the tea bowl, and said calmly, "Song Wuya, judging from the new evidence just discovered, your suspicion of murder should be basically cleared. , but there are still a lot of unknowns in this case, in order to find out the real culprit, can you describe the course of the case that you can deduce based on the existing evidence?"

"Yes! Your Excellency the county."

Song Wuya held the shackles in both hands, and made a clumsy bow to Situ County Magistrate who was sitting above him.He hates this heavy iron guy to death, but he also knows that it is not yet time to ask to open the chain for him, as long as he can follow the opportunity given by the magistrate Situ to make a statement, and make his innocence proof stronger. In order to be clear and powerful, someone will take the initiative to untie this pair of shackles.

"Before I make statements and inferences based on the evidence, I need to clarify a few rules..." Facing the eager and expectant gazes cast by the crowd, Song Wuya took a sip of tea deliberately and slowly. Started to speak.

Chapter 9 Who Arranges Flowers

?Chapter 9 Who Arranges Flowers

"Are there any rules? What rules?"

Song Wuya's first sentence caused the anxious police to stop beating him, and everyone immediately cast dissatisfied looks at him.

Song Wuya smiled slightly, and said: "Of course we have to talk about the rules. Without rules, you can't be perfect. The rules for deciding a case are very simple. The first is to talk about the evidence, and the second is to talk about the truth. Therefore, these two rules must be observed. For officials who decide cases and prisons, and are in charge of life and death, it is necessary to strictly abide by these rules. The two rules are simple to say, but it is not easy to abide by them. Therefore, throughout the ages, countless people have died of injustice because of their infamy."

The county magistrate Situ is a scholar who understands etiquette, and he loves to hear these great principles. He couldn't help but twirling his beard, nodded approvingly and said: "Yes, yes! Very well said! Your words, There is a benevolent spirit of "judgment of prisons with caution" as the ancient sages said. This official has always advocated the judging of prisons with caution. I have never dared to be hasty in matters of human life..."

Hearing the intoxicated boasting of Magistrate Situ here, Song Wuya immediately frowned, and secretly cast a dissatisfied glance at him. With such prudence, why did you almost kill me, an innocent person?However, this is of course unavoidable, as my life and future are still in the hands of Master Situ.

Song Wuya withdrew his dissatisfaction with Magistrate Situ, and said: "Back to this case, we must start with the murder of the maidservant Xiaozhen. Based on the existing evidence, I can confirm that: first of all, the maidservant Xiaozhen was the first to be murdered." The murdered person. This is a very obvious thing. After the guests at the dinner party, Miss Situ arranged for five overnight guests including me to stay, and the servants and servants in the mansion also went back to their rooms to rest. There was nothing unusual sign."

Having said that, he turned to Baobukuai, "Is that so? Baobutou. For these basic information, you must have asked the servants in the mansion carefully at first."

Baobu nodded quickly, and said: "That's right, other maidservants in the mansion have also seen Xiaozhen go back to the room."

Song Wuya continued: "It is impossible for a murderer to kill two people in the same room at the same time. As soon as he strikes at one person, the other two will immediately shout. In the quiet night, if you shout casually, it is impossible for others not to hear the sound Xiao Zhen went back to her room first, so she should have been killed first, followed by Mr. Situ. According to Miss Situ, Mr. Situ is cautious. He has a habit of patrolling the house every night before going to bed. He should have heard abnormal movements in Xiaozhen's room when he was inspecting the east wing, so he knocked on the door and asked. Xiaozhen should be dead at this time, or at least in a coma. The murderer in the room at this time Naturally, he was very flustered. He didn't dare to open the door, and he didn't even dare to make a sound. But Mr. Yi Situ's cautious personality, he couldn't feel at ease without checking for confirmation. So he continued to knock on the door, and the murderer became malicious. He opened the door with an inkstone in his hand, and suddenly attacked Mr. Situ at the door in the dark. Mr. Situ was hit hard on the head, and fell to the ground without even groaning. The murderer quickly dragged Mr. Situ into the room."

Magistrate Situ thought for a while, and said, "Isn't it? According to what you said, Xiaozhen has been killed by the murderer at this time, or is in a coma. Why is there any abnormal noise in the room? What is the murderer doing?"

Song Wuya said: "The noise the murderer is doing is not loud, but it is enough to make Mr. Situ feel suspicious when he hears it outside the door, and he insists on knocking on the door to find out."

Having said that, he paused and glanced at everyone, "Please guess what the murderer is doing in the room at this time?"

Everyone shook their heads in bewilderment, Bao Bao quickly thought about it, and said: "Isn't it possible that you are looking for belongings? Xiaozhen is just a maid, and there is nothing valuable in her room."

Song Wuya spat out two words from his mouth contemptuously: "A corpse."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the others changed slightly.Only Liang Yuzuo looked as usual, he echoed Song Wuya and said: "It makes sense. Xiaozhen was suffocated to death by covering his mouth and nose, and there were traces of sexual intercourse on his lower body, and there were also men's semen spots. If he was raped before his death , her body must be full of scars, and there will be a lot of movement. If the corpse is said, it is very likely."

"In Xiaozhen's room in the East Wing, the murderer's deep panting, excited humming, body bumping, wooden bed creaking and shaking, etc..."

Only a "wow", Song Wuya's narration was interrupted by Situ Wen.She couldn't stand Song Wuya's detailed description of the process of rape, and retched on the spot.

Magistrate Situ gave Song Wuya a dissatisfied look, and said, "There's no need to be so specific about this kind of thing, right? Even if you and I don't find it disgusting, aren't we afraid of scaring the little girl's family?"

Song Wuya laughed dryly, and explained: "I didn't intend to disgust Miss Situ, there is a reason for me to describe these sounds. The noise made by this kind of murderer when raping a corpse is not too loud, but in the quiet night, in a door In the corridor next to it, it is absolutely audible. And the most important thing is: only this kind of abnormal sound can make Mr. Situ feel uneasy after hearing it. The unmarried girl in his mansion seems to be secretly having fun with someone Tryst, of course he has to knock on the door to check."
