仵作daily [traveling]

"At the beginning of May, at Maoshi in the morning, a maid named Chun'er in the Zhuang Mansion found Qin's body in the study. After examination, there was a wound on Qin's right neck that was five inches long and two inches wide, about three inches deep. inch, the murder weapon should be an ax of normal size, the body has not been moved, and the study is the first crime scene."

Du Si walked slowly, Cui Shengyong, who was kneeling on the ground, looked as usual, especially innocent.

"Why was Cui Shengyong arrested?"

"I heard that the murderer who killed the Qin family was him!"

"He also helped me move the rice this morning, could there be something hidden in it?"

Everyone in the hall talked a lot, most of them thought that the magistrate of Song County was too old to be fooled, and he would release Cui Shengyong if he talked about it. Zhuang Hui, who was standing aside, blinked and looked at the businessman next to him and seemed to think of something.

All these words flowed into Song Zhixian's ears. He groaned, slapped the gavel with his sleeves, and pointed to the sideboard and said, "Can't you see what is written on it? Quiet!"

Everyone shut their mouths and looked at Du Si and Cui Shengyong in the hall.

"And the murderer who killed the Qin family was in the Zhuang mansion." Du Si said firmly.

"Hey, the Qin family may also be killed by thieves and robbers, how can you be sure that it was done by the people of the Zhuang family?" Mao Yi asked suspiciously.

"Thieves and robbers come here for money. Most of the places they go are the bedroom and the money bank. There is only a pile of blank papers in the study. Is it possible for the thief to go? Let alone where to steal it. The thief can touch the study and know Qin's itinerary. And the terrain... Don't you think it's too coincidental?"

Du Silue was a little helpless. Although the county magistrate in the previous county didn't understand these things, at least he didn't know how to ask mentally handicapped questions, but Mao Yi, the magistrate of Yecheng County, gave Du Si a lot of insight. There is no stupidest, only more stupid.

"I'm just asking, asking." Mao Yi smiled awkwardly.

"It has been judged that Mrs. Qin's death was between Zishi and Mao. That night, she called three people to the study. "Du Si paused, looking at the magistrate of Song who wandered away after the case.

Song Zhixian is extremely sensitive to sight, and immediately reacted, "Uh, come, bring the three people from the Zhuang Mansion here!"

Zheng Qiu and the others were brought to Wangfa Hall, where the three of them knelt on the ground and raised their heads trembling.

"On the night of Qin's murder, I only called the three of you. I have been tossing and turning for the past few nights. I feel that there are huge flaws in this case. There is also a slight error in my judgment." Song Zhixian haha With a smile, he stretched out his hand and gestured a few times.

All three of them were wounded, and the prison clothes were covered with bloodstains, which was very terrifying. The faces of the three were pale and their eye sockets were sunken, as if they would fall to the ground in the next moment.

"Fortunately, Du Si reminded me, so I didn't make a big mistake and harm innocent people in vain." Song Zhixian said quickly, first leaving himself completely, and then said, "Now there is an opportunity to prove that The innocence of the three of you must be cherished, and don't cause trouble for yourself."

Du Si couldn't help but turned his back, not looking at the brazen magistrate, Zheng Qiu and the others didn't respond, only Zheng Qiu sneered indifferently, which was regarded as a response to Song magistrate's words.

"Ahem, I now order you to repeat the scene of going in and out of the study on the night of Qin's death, without any falsehood." Song Zhixian said seriously.

"I..." Zheng Qiu spoke first, and with the anger in his heart, he wanted to scold Song Zhixian, but at this moment, Du Si suddenly gave Zheng Qiu a glance, the meaning in his eyes was self-evident.

Zheng Qiu swallowed, suddenly remembered his parents at home, he paused, and finally told the truth about that night honestly, the other two did the same, and nothing happened.

Speaking of a series of times made many people's scalps tingle, Song Zhixian hesitated a few times, and spoke in deliberation.

"At this time, Zheng Qiu entered the study at midnight..."

"Master Zhixian, the little man entered the study at the beginning." Zheng Qiu raised his head high and said bluntly.

"Ahaha, yes, you came in at the beginning of time..." Song Zhixian suddenly coughed violently while talking, Mao Yi understood it in a blink of an eye, and immediately stepped forward to hold Song Zhixian, and shouted in his mouth.

"Your magistrate, magistrate, are you all right?" Mao Yi squinted his eyes and shed a few tears, and said sadly, "Master magistrate has not slept well for the past few days, and his heart is broken to solve this case. "

"Mao Yi, don't say that, I'm just, just for the people of Yecheng, for the people who have been imprisoned..." Song Zhixian opened his eyes and wanted to say something, and suddenly met Zheng Qiu and others' disgusting eyes, and hurriedly said After finishing the rest of the sentence, "Du Si, I feel unwell and my speech is not smooth, so you will try the case on my behalf!"

"The villain thanked the county magistrate." Du Si saluted, then ignored Song Zhixian again.

"According to the time told by the three of you, Zheng Qiu is from Zichu to Zizheng three quarters, Li Ge is from Chouchu second quarter to Chouzheng second quarter, and Yinger is Yinchu three quarters." Du Si spoke fluently, and everyone in the hall could not get together. Get up and listen quietly.

"All three of you claim to have seen Qin Shi alive, but only one of you is not sure when he saw Qin Shi and whether he lived or died."

Du Si glanced at Ying'er, and Ying'er hurriedly said, "Minister woke up in the middle of the night when Yin Shi beat the clock, and brought tea to Madam's study. At that time, the shadow of the incense candle was cast on the window paper. Let the folk girl go in, only stretch out one hand..."

Ying'er swallowed her saliva, her expression panicked, and she unconsciously sped up her speech.

"The madam was much taller that night, and I had to raise my hand to hand it to her... The next day, the madam died, and I was imprisoned. After thinking about it, I realized that it was wrong. I walked from the apartment at the main entrance to the study in less than three days. Moment!"

This cry startled many people, the county magistrate and the county magistrate looked at each other in a daze, Ren Fuzhi shook his head, sighing in his heart that Du Si is really smart.

Under the courtroom, Longhua and the others stood together, all looking at Du Si in the hall.

"Catcher Sun, do you think it's okay for adults?" Xiao Li worried, he spoke the feelings of many people, Wang Qi, Liu Er and Du Heng couldn't help looking at Sun Ping.

"Why not." Sun Ping said with a smile, "I think my lord is more than capable now, why are you bothering?"

In the hall, Du Si's expression was calm, and his words could not conceal the confidence. His whole person was like the bright moon in the sky, which made people unable to turn their eyes away.

"A grown-up is so young, but so smart, he will definitely do something in the future." Liu Er said firmly, no one refuted.

Jing Heng looked at Du Si from a distance, but said nothing.

In the hall, Du Si took out the bloody incense candle and showed it to everyone.

"I found this from the incense burner in Qin's study. According to the servants of the Zhuang mansion, Qin likes to burn incense on weekdays. One stick of incense is worth half an hour. She changes it diligently, and the time is right."

Many people looked at the bloody incense candle, and Cui Shengyong was no exception. His eyes were dim, but his expression remained unchanged.

"Ying'er said that she saw the shadow of the incense candle when she went to the study, so she deduced that it was three quarters of Yin time, and it took less than three quarters for her to walk from her residence to the study..." Du Si paused, then suddenly raised the incense candle in his hand and said , "Look, is this incense candle enough for three quarters?"

Many people nodded in doubt, but Du Si's next sentence made many people's eyes drop.

"Actually, within a moment after Brother Li left, Mrs. Qin was hacked to death with an axe. He immediately pulled out the incense candle that was burning the ugly hour from the incense burner and replaced it with the incense candle of the first hour." Du Si took a look. Cui Shengyong sneered, "Really be cautious."

Cui Shengyong was shocked when he heard the words, and couldn't help lowering his head.

The hall exploded immediately, Mao Yi and Song Zhixian looked confused, Ren Fuzhi couldn't figure out the reason, and couldn't help asking, "But when the servant girl delivered the tea at three o'clock, the Qin family was still alive?"

Du Si smiled coldly, looked at Cui Shengyong who lowered his head, "That's what he pretended to be!"

"What?!" Everyone shouted in unison.

"Lord official." Cui Shengyong slowly raised his head, his eyes rolling darkly, "How do you know that person is me? In other words, you were not at the scene of the crime, how did you know whether the Qin family was dead or alive at that time?" ? Do you have proof?"

"Yes, that's the reason."

"Could it be a wrong judgment, someone as good as Cui Shengyong..."

"What a sharp mouth." Du Si sneered, "It's a pity that you are not lucky enough, come here, pass on Zhuang Hui—"

Zhuang Hui came to Cui Shengyong's side and quickly knelt down.

"Zhuang Hui, as one of the crucial witnesses in this case, tell me what you saw in the study that night."

"Yes, my lord." Zhuang Hui was very cooperative and recounted what he saw that night. Cui Shengyong, who was kneeling beside him, turned darker and darker, and was no longer as calm as before.

"Zhuang Hui saw Qin's body before Yinshi. This is the evidence." Du Si walked up to Cui Shengyong and met his dark eyes, "Next, I will show you the process of committing the crime and the evidence gone."

Everyone in the hall believed half of it, Zhuang Hui and Ren Fuzhi looked at Cui Shengyong with unclear meaning, and some people looked at him with suspicion.

Zheng Qiu and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, they are truly innocent now.

Cui Shengyong suddenly smiled slightly, and said to Du Si, "According to what you said, the murderer may also be Mr. Zhuang. Why do you say I did it?"

"No hurry, no hurry." Du Si was not angry, but also smiled, "Let's talk about you."

"That night, Xiao Si, a servant who lived near the back door, saw Zhuang Hui leaving at Yinshi. You said, you saw it too, and you were sure that person was Zhuang Hui, but so?" Du Si asked. .

Cui Shengyong nodded, Du Si laughed loudly, looked at Cui Shengyong and couldn't help saying, "Haven't you seen the doors and windows in your house?"

Cui Shengyong was a little puzzled, but when he figured it out, his face suddenly became surprised.

"The Qin family likes bamboo. It is found everywhere in the Zhuang mansion. There is a row of green bamboos just in front of your window. How can you see the people passing by on that gravel path?"

"I, I..." Cui Shengyong lost his initial composure with panic on his face, and said indiscriminately, "My eyesight is good, I can see!"

"You can really see clearly?" Du Si smiled, extremely cunning.

Cui Shengyong suddenly felt an ominous premonition.

Du Si bowed to the person behind Cui Shengyong and said, "Trouble the head catcher."

Cui Shengyong's forehead was covered with sweat, and when he looked back, the person behind him was the head catcher who was holding him just now.

"You just said clearly that you didn't see the person who ran past." The head catcher said harshly, his thick eyebrows and big eyes were extremely intimidating, "You are lying!"

"No, I see clearly, that's a man!" Cui Shengyong refused to admit it.

"A man?" Du Si laughed again, at this time another person came in the hall, Du Si smiled at Cui Shengyong, "Look carefully, who is this man!"

Cui Shengyong looked sideways, and saw a handsome woman in black looking at him coldly.

"It was this girl who ran over just now." The head catcher said sharply.

Cui Shengyong's complexion changed drastically, mixed with shame and anger, a little bit crazy, looking very frightening.

"It's hard work, Du Yu." Du Si patted Du Yu's shoulder, "Cui Shengyong, this is the end of the matter, it's time for you to sign."

Many people looked at Cui Shengyong differently than usual. Ren Fuzhi felt cheated and was very angry.

"I don't admit it!" Cui Shengyong was dying, "Why should I kill Qin? She is the one who pays my salary!"

"Why?" Du Si squinted at him, "Don't worry, I certainly have evidence, why the deed of sale on the bookshelf in the study was flipped, why the murderer wanted the deed of sale... There are reasons for everything, and you know it best."

"Come on, pass on the merchant."

The businessman who claimed to be a fellow of Cui Shengyong stepped forward and told what Cui Shengyong had done before. Cui Shengyong was shocked. He never thought that this person who came from the same place as himself actually knew Qin. Then he...

Cui Shengyong clenched his fists, his face full of resentment.

"Cui Shengyong turned out to be this kind of person!"

"I was really blind before. How could I think he was good? He sold his wife and children to Changlefang, and said that he came here because of misfortune!"

"What is Cui Shengyong? His name is Cui Li."

Everyone changed their minds one after another, and suddenly, there was an endless stream of shouting and cursing, and the scene was once chaotic.

"Silence!" Song Zhixian played his best function, and the hall returned to calm.

Cui Shengyong bowed his head in silence, making it hard to see the expression on his face.

Du Si took out another piece of evidence, "I found this pair of straw sandals on the outer wall of the study on the first day. It should be exactly the same size as your soles. That's why there are no footprints in the study."

After speaking, Du Si wanted to step forward to verify.

"You don't need to try again, I admit, I killed Mrs. Qin." Cui Li was very calm.

Duce stopped, waiting for his next confession.

"If time goes back, I will still kill her." Cui Li raised his head, his eyes were red and said, "This bitch lied to me three times! She claimed that my contract of prostitution was in her hands and forced me to do many things. Otherwise, I will hand it over to the government and let Changlefang rule me!"

"However, the Qin family does not have your contract of sale." Du Siming said clearly.

Cui Li nodded heavily, and everyone in the hall exploded again, saying in succession.

"You have done so many bad things, aren't you afraid that ghosts will knock on the door in the middle of the night?!"

"I didn't expect you to be such a villain!"

Cui Li smiled sarcastically, and replied to everyone in the hall, "What qualifications do you have to criticize me? You usually greet me with a smile and accept my help. Now that I'm in jail, you've changed your face. It's really disgusting!"

"you!"

"You, to me, to the Qin family... are all of the same way. If you don't do it for yourself, you will be destroyed by heaven and earth. I don't believe that there is such a kind person in the world?"

Cui Li roared, choking everyone back one by one.

"Okay, since the case has been solved, I don't have anything to worry about." The magistrate Song was full of spirits, and instructed his officers to detain Cui Li.

Unexpectedly, Cui Li raised his face and rushed to Song County magistrate again.

"And you, dog officer, if you don't have this little boy, I'm afraid there will be three more dead souls at this time, but I can get away with it and continue to be my good old man!"

"You, you, come, come, come, and put this troublemaker in death row!" Song Zhixian was anxious, but his words were very smooth.

"A speculative dog officer, hahahaha." Cui Li seemed to be insane, but he was different from the gamblers in Changle Fang. The young policeman at the side hesitated, but finally did not come forward.

Cui Li walked up to Du Si and asked a question.

"How did you find out."

"When I asked you when I saw Zhuang Hui leave, do you still remember what you said?" Du Si said calmly.

Cui Li lowered his head and smiled sadly, "I see, it's my fault for not being cautious."

"This has nothing to do with caution." Du Si said seriously, "It's only right and proper to kill people for their lives."

In the end, Cui Li was arrested and taken away, the magistrate of Song County was helped out of the hall by Mao Yi, and the three people in the Zhuang family escaped death, weeping bitterly.

Du Si returned Zheng Qiu's letter to Zheng Qiu.

"You can hand this letter to your parents."

Zheng Qiu nodded, raised his head and looked at Du Sidao, "Although Yecheng is big, there is no place for me to stay. I have already made up my mind. I will check my luggage and go home tomorrow. I will accompany them!"

The two lines of teardrops that Zheng Qiu shed were mixed with a little dust, but they were extremely bright.

Du Si smiled at him, on the other side Yinger Lige and Xiao Si came back together, Zheng Qiu bid farewell to Du Si, and hurriedly followed them, the backs of the four quickly disappeared into the night until they were swallowed by darkness.

Du Sishu let out a long breath, walked up the stone bridge alone, and prepared to go back to the inn.

But the figure beside the stone bridge caught his attention. Hearing the sound of footsteps, the tall young man turned his face slightly, his black pupils seemed to contain thousands of stars, extremely bright.

Du Si paused, then quickened his pace and followed Jing Heng.

At this time, Yecheng is full of bright moonlight, and the sky is full of stars, and the shadows reflected in the water are much more real, as if they are within reach.
