After another servant on death row heard the news, he also left the words "wrongfully accused" in blood on the wall, then hit the wall and died.
But not many people know this news.
Xinzhi County felt something was strange and reported the news that the concubine and the servant had committed suicide one after another to the inspector and asked for instructions.
At this time, the inspector had risen rapidly, from a fifth-rank official to a third-rank official.
He gave four-word instructions to his concubines and servants who committed suicide: commit suicide out of fear of crime.
After receiving the order, the new magistrate understood the situation and quietly brushed the case aside, hastily burying the bodies of the concubine and servant, and no longer pursued the case.
It was just a slight mention at the end of the file.
Seven years have passed since this incident, and the new county magistrate has already received an order to be transferred to another place as an official. Zhou Zhongkang is already the third county magistrate after this case.
These case files have been dusty for a long time. No one has ever looked at them, and no one has mentioned the cases from that year again.
Zhou Zhongkang also accidentally turned to this file, because he saw that the victim was once a local county magistrate, so he flipped through it. The previous description of the case and the process of solving the case seemed reasonable, but when he turned to the last page, Seeing what the Xinzhi County magistrate mentioned lightly, the criminals XX and XX had committed suicide out of fear before execution.
He vaguely sensed something was wrong, so he held the case file and read it several times, especially the last supplement. The more he thought about it, the more strange he felt.
Since the murderer was a concubine and a servant, the two of them had already confessed their guilt and were waiting for the queen to be executed.
When the two committed suicide, it was still several months before Wenzhan.
But no one doesn't want to live without death.
Even if you know you will die eventually, you will still cherish every day of living in this world. No one will be willing to give up life in advance until the final moment of death.
Especially these two prisoners who have been sentenced to beheading.
This doesn't make sense!
Even if the two people were really in love, why would they write bloody words on the wall before they died? There were still two shocking words in big words: "Unjustly Accused!"
Unless they knew they were going to die, and there was indeed injustice in the case, the two died to show that they were wronged!
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhongkang couldn't help but feel horrified, and a chill shot up his back.
It was midnight, and a gust of cold wind blew in from outside the open window, blowing the file in front of him to the ground.
He stared blankly at the file on the ground, and when he saw the last page that had been blown by the wind, the hairs on his body stood up.
The next day, he immediately started investigating the case. The first person he wanted to interrogate was the jailer who was responsible for guarding the death row seven years ago, and wanted to find out what happened at that time.
But seven years have passed, and the jailer has been replaced, and no one knows what he wants to ask.
The less he could find anything, the more he felt something was wrong, but apart from the suspicion in his heart, he couldn't find any clues.
"Miss Shen, how do you conclude that this is an unjust case?" he asked blurtly.
Although he also suspected that this was an unjust case, but there was no evidence, when he heard Shen Ning's tone of affirmation, he couldn't help but be surprised and surprised.
Shen Ning patted the case file lightly and said, "I believe Mr. Zhou must have noticed that there are four doubts in this case."
"Four doubts? Which four are they?" Zhou Zhongkang couldn't help but ask with his eyes wide open.
