Chapter 3 The Truth
"That's it, this is too hasty!" Yang Qing couldn't help but sigh when he saw that County Li County Magistrate Hanging himself in less than half an hour.
He knew that in ancient times, officials rarely used logical reasoning to find evidence to find out the truth of the case. Saying confession as king was the first principle for officials in feudal society to make a case. Moreover, the means of evidence collection were generally not through on-site searches, but using rough torture torture to find out the obvious personal evidence, and physical evidence could be judged. In addition, the forensic methods such as injury tests and autopsy before the Tang and Song dynasties were relatively superficial, so the level of criminal investigation in the Three Kingdoms was still relatively backward at this time.
In addition, this County Magistrate Li is not a twenty-year-old veteran. It is understandable that he can make a self-destructive judgment.
In fact, Yang Qing came to Chen San's family and knew that Chen San's wife was not hanged, but was killed. However, he was not from the village, and he had no official position. He was a slight person. He was in a patriarchal society with a strong sense of short-term protection. It would be better not to act rashly. So he chose to wait for the government to deal with it honestly. If the person came from a person like Di Guo Lao, Bao Longtu, and Song Tixing, he would not have to stand out suddenly.
After all, it is time to win fame!
However, seeing that Li County Wei showed off his average case-based operation in ancient times, Yang Qing, who is both beauty and wisdom, can no longer bear it, and finally reveals the truth.
Ah, no, Chen San’s wife obviously committed suicide by hanging herself, so how could she be killed by someone? Everyone exclaimed.
Who is this kid? Why haven't I seen it before? I dare to speak out about the matter in this village. A sharp-eyed villagers saw that this kid came with Mr. Liu, and began to ask Mr. Liu about Yang Qing's background.
Mr. Liu did not expect Yang Qing to make such a shocking statement, and turned around and asked, "Langjun Yang, I dare not talk nonsense."
"Don't worry, my father-in-law, I know the right measure."
Yang Qing held his left hand in front of his waist, his right hand behind his back, and smiled, separated everyone, came to the courtyard, bowed to County Magistrate Li standing at the door of the main house: "Yang Qing has met County Magistrate."
Yang Qing's interruption made County Magistrate Li's face full of darkness. Where did this mountain village man come out? Did he know that his words were slapping the official in the face? What does it mean to die by suicide? Does he understand the punishment and imprisonment? He is just saying this shamelessly.
However, seeing that although Yang Qing was dressed in a commonplace, he was elegant and gentle, and he was polite. In order to maintain his demeanor in front of others, County Magistrate Li asked with a smile: "Oh, I wonder why this Yang Langjun said this. You must know that suicide and murder are completely different in nature. Once a judgment is wrong, you can't just beat it."
It depends on how you are capable. If you can't tell me how you are, I will see how I will conquer you.
Yang Qing did not answer Li County Magistrate's words in front of him. For some reason, he was like Di Pangpang possessed him. He walked to Chen San and smiled kindly at him.
"Chen San, I'll teach you how to commit crimes." Yang Qing began to circle around Chen San's main hall.
"If I were you, when I killed my wife, I would change into another piece of clothing for her, because it was obvious that your wife's clothes had just been scratched." Yang Qing pointed to the damaged part of Chen San's wife's coat.
"Mr., what are you talking about?" Chen San asked hurriedly.
"What, didn't Wang die by hanging himself? How could Chen San be killed?" County Magistrate Li and everyone looked at Yang Qing and Chen San in surprise.
However, some people are not concerned at this time. The man was not very old and said in an old tone. Chen San was also a middle-aged man in his thirties and was called "Chen San, Chen San" by a young young man. How could these people know that Yang Qing had already applied Di Pangpang's tone? As for the reason, this tone of speaking is indeed suitable for pretending to be profound.
"Huh!" Just as everyone whispered and whispered, a crisp sound of amazement came into Yang Qing's ears. He looked along the sound and found that two carriages were parked at the gate of the courtyard at some point, and several strong men were guarding the body. The pleasant exclamation was obviously made by a girl in the car.
Yang Qing withdrew his gaze and continued to walk around. Chen San could only follow him step by step.
"Second, if I were you, after killing my wife, I would find a way to remove or mix it up on her neck, because this kind of scratch is a unique scar caused by pulling the rope that strangled the neck out with a hand. You said that you just quarreled with your wife and didn't do anything, and the scar was obviously caused today." Yang Qing pointed to the scar on Chen San's wife's neck.
"Third, if I were you, I would also find a way to cover up the scratches on my hand, because compared with the broken parts on your wife's clothes, you will know that the person who fought with Wang was you." Yang Qing pointed to Chen San's chest again.
"Fourth, if I were you, I wouldn't have lie. I quarreled with my wife after Mitsukoshi, because according to the situation of the corpse, it was obvious that your wife had been dead for about three hours."
"Fifth, if I were you, I would throw this hoe on the ground, and it would be better to throw it outside the door. Imagine a husband pushing open the door and seeing his wife hanging on the beam of the house. How could he walk to the innermost place so calmly and stand the hoe on the corner of the house? " Yang Qing picked up the hoe standing on the corner of the house and showed it to everyone.
"Come on!" County Magistrate Li, who was already stunned, exclaimed.
"Finally, if I were you, I wouldn't have hung my wife so high." As he said that, Yang Qing stood at the foot of the woman's body by Hu Bed who had fallen to the ground: "Imagine how a hanged man kicked over it with his feet so far from the Hu Bed?" Yang Qing used his last killing move, suddenly turned around and forced him to Chen San and asked with a smile.
"This..." Chen San was already lost in his heart after Yang Qing's series of questions, sweating endlessly, and was confused. He only felt that the smile of this beautiful stranger's smile was so terrible.
The county magistrate Chen next to him didn't know that as Yang Langjun said, Chen San's wife was indeed killed, and the murderer was Chen San himself. He immediately looked at Chen San with anger and shouted: "Bold Chen San, why don't you bring your crimes to you truthfully!"
"Li County Magistrate Li, the villain is confused for a moment, and I am confused for a moment. Please give up the county Magistrate." Seeing that the man had already understood the truth and the evidence was conclusive, Chen San couldn't help but feel ashamed and had to kneel down and beg.
At this time, Chen Li, who could not hold back, stepped forward and grabbed Chen San's clothes on his chest, shouting angrily: "Sanwazi, how dare you do such a thing? You are so confused. You have been married to Wang for many years, how can you bear to take this harsh action!" Chen San was his junior in his family. When things turned around, he was both annoyed that Chen San did something that shamed the family, and pity him and could not help but lose his life.
"Uncle, ah... I heard the wind and told me that I was familiar with each other last night that the bitch went back to my parents' home to live some time ago. I didn't want to have an affair with a man in her village and did something miserable. I endured it all night, and after dawn, I was so angry that I asked her who the adulterer was. I never thought that when I started fighting with her, I didn't know if I was fascinated or something, but by some reason, I strangled her to death with a rope." Chen San said crying.
Everyone heard this and had nothing to say, so they could only sigh.
Seeing that the motive for the murder was clear, the case had been cleared, and immediately ordered his subordinates to take Chen San into custody.
Seeing that the matter was finished, Yang Qing was about to say hello to Mr. Liu and was about to leave. Now he could still go to the city before dark, so he dared not delay any longer.
