The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

Chapter 408: The Suspected Case of Murdering a Husband [Part 1] (Revised)

Views:

Shuntian Prefecture, the criminal name is Sizhengtang.

"Uh~ ah!"

After a big yawn, Sun Shaozong drowsily picked up the pen, just as he was about to drop it on the official document, he suddenly forgot what comments to write.

After he pondered and thought hard, he finally recalled some eyebrows, but only heard a tick, and the thick ink had already fallen on the official document.

Oops!

Sun Shaozong hurriedly took a soft cloth to dab it. Fortunately, he used good Hui ink, which did not smear on the paper. After absorbing the ink with a soft cloth, only a piece of ink the size of a chess piece was left, and the official document was not stained. original lettering.

Seeing this, Sun Shaozong breathed a sigh of relief, but he really had no intention of continuing to review the official documents, so he washed the wolf brush, put it on the mountain-shaped pen holder, and went to the window to scoop into the copper basin. of clean water, and rubbed the face of the Chinese character several times.

In this way, he was finally invigorated.

ah~

In the past few days, I have been greedy and lustful, and it is indeed a bit overindulgence!

It seems that some restraint must be exercised, otherwise, if there is something wrong in the official business, it is not a joke.

Then again, Second Sister You is really a natural stunner. Her tall, plump, snow-satin white body looks like it was tailor-made for a man. Every time she wraps it, Sun Shaozong can't extricate herself.

In addition, she is willing to comply with all kinds of tricks, and she likes to be obsessed with Jiaohan and actively invites to fight. She is not as shy as other women, so in recent days, Sun Shaozong has rarely been able to sleep soundly.

In addition, she had to spare time to 'soothe' Ruan Rong. The beauty and bitterness among them were really not enough for outsiders.

Fortunately, Jia Yingchun had already experienced pregnancy. Otherwise, Big Brother Cheap would rush to 'seed' every day, and he would be hard-pressed to live with his bones.

"uncle."

Just when I was thinking about something, I heard Sun Chengye report outside: "The notice for the trial of the Beggar Baojia System has been written, would you like to take a look at it first?"

"come in."

Sun Shaozong stepped forward and opened the door, took the notice and glanced at it, then shook his head and said, "The wording should be more straightforward, but how many beggars can understand it?"

Sun Chengye hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Then little nephew, go and make another copy."

"No need."

Sun Shaozong said: "First post this notice outside the mansion gate, and then prepare another plain and simple copy, so that the yamen in the mansion can memorize it, and call those beggars to read it directly."

When Sun Chengye agreed and went out to explain the matter of posting the notice, Sun Shaozong sat back behind the koan again, preparing to continue to give instructions to the official document.

Who would have guessed that he had just gotten the ink and was about to pick up the pen to write when he heard hurried footsteps from far and near, and then heard Qiu Yunfei shouting loudly: "This thief is really hot. It's dead! Master Sun, the case of murdering my husband in the morning, I have brought someone to verify it, and it was indeed the woman who killed it."

"Because the man went out for four years and didn't return, this woman had a hot fight with a handsome scholar. She was planning to marry her with her family property. Who knew that her husband suddenly came back and ruined her wishful thinking."

"So the husband and wife have been at odds all the time. It's not the first time that a knife has been used for three days and two days."

"It's just this time, I don't know how to catch up with the tearing, and I cut the man's throat with one knife, killing him on the spot."

"The case is simple and clear, and she also recognized that she killed herself - just that she didn't know what was wrong with this woman, so she insisted that the deceased was not her husband."

"Now the man's relatives have all followed, and they are making a noise in front of the mansion, saying that they want to ask the adults to kill her to make the people angry."

Sun Shaozong could hear it clearly inside, so he put aside his pen, got up and went to the outside hall. He reached out and asked Qiu Yunfei for the record of the on-site investigation, but he saw that it was densely packed, and there were more than ten pages of records.

From the first person who discovered it to the people who reported it, from the neighbors to the relatives and friends of both sides, and even the rumored 'adulter', they all carefully cross-examined.

"Alright."

Sun Shaozong couldn't help but nodded and said, "Recently, you've been doing this errand, and it's getting more and more like a look."

Although it wasn't a serious compliment, he was able to get Sun Shaozong's affirmation, and he still smiled happily at Qiu Yunfei, waiting to brag a few words.

However, Sun Shaozong waved his hand again, and commanded beyond doubt: "Since the bitter master has followed, and it is a case of murdering his husband's life, let's try the first trial first - you go and find all the witnesses, it will be [one o'clock in the afternoon] This officer will go to court to ask the case!"

When Qiu Yunfei took the lead, Sun Shaozong recorded the investigation and carefully considered it twice from beginning to end.

At first glance, there is nothing unusual about this case.

The deceased's surname was Song, his name was Chang Geng, he was 26 years old, his parents died early, and he had no children. The family ran a small tea house. Four years ago, he led a young man down south to buy tea, but he never knew it. There is no sound.

After a long time, his wife Xu Shi also believed that he died outside, so he got acquainted with a nearby scholar named Zhou Yuansheng after being arranged by his neighbors half a year ago.

Because the scholar was very handsome and famous, after meeting him a few times, the Xu family secretly promised her, and planned to marry the Zhou family with the house and shop left by Song Changgeng.

Unexpectedly, just when the two started to prepare for the wedding, Song Changgeng suddenly returned to his home, saying that he was in trouble outside and contracted a serious illness. It took a few years for him to recover.

As a result, the marriage between Xu's and Zhou Xiucai naturally fell apart, and Song Changgeng even gathered two cousins from his uncle's family to come and beat Zhou Xiucai on the charge of seducing a wife.

With these causes and consequences, Xu Shi and Song Changgeng had grudges in their hearts, and they would make a noise every now and then.

This morning, the two got into trouble again. Song Changgeng said that he was going to divorce the Xu family and let her go out of the house; but the Xu family was not angry, so he picked up a kitchen knife and threatened to die or live.

Unexpectedly, between the two pushing and shoving, the kitchen knife accidentally cut Song Changgeng's neck, causing him to die on the spot.

Because the beggar Hong Jiu happened to hear the story of the crime, the Xu family denied it and had to confess to the murder. Therefore, there is nothing worth checking and questioning about this part of the case.

The only strange thing is that Mr. Xu said that the deceased was a fake, not the real Song Changgeng.

And this remark was refuted by Song Changgeng's uncle, who thought that she had made such a ridiculous lie to reduce the crime.

but…

If you really want to make up a lie to get rid of the crime, you shouldn't use such a bizarre excuse, right

Sun Shaozong looked at the survey record and fell into deep thought.

The words are divided into two parts.

However, it was said that Hong Jiu, who happened to be involved in a life lawsuit, was also brought to Shuntian Mansion as an eyewitness.

And because Qiu Yunfei saw that he was a beggar with no roots, he was afraid that he would disappear if he was not careful, so he ordered him and the Xu family to be temporarily detained in the lobby.

At the beginning of Hong Jiu's shock, his whole body became weak, and he didn't even dare to breathe when he knelt in the hall.

However, after kneeling for more than half an hour, seeing that it was already past the meal, his stomach was rumbling with hunger, but no one came to ask, and Hong Jiu couldn't kneel anymore.

Stealing his eyes and looking around for a while, seeing that the yamen were all outside and no one was paying attention to him, he simply slumped to the ground and rubbed his knees with bared teeth.

After rubbing for a while, he found that no one was interfering, and he became more courageous. While rubbing his knees, he glanced at Xu Shi who was not far away.

Seeing Mrs. Xu kneeling on the ground in a daze, her skirt was torn apart by the Song family's relatives, revealing half of her white china-like arms, but she couldn't even think of covering it up.

tsk~

Such a beautiful and fair-skinned girl, how could she be so cruel to murder her husband

Hong Jiu stared at the white porcelain-like arm, drooling for a long time, but suddenly found that Xu's small cherry mouth was constantly opening and closing.

What is she mumbling about

Hong Jiu couldn't help but be curious, and moved cautiously to Mrs. Xu's side. After listening for a long time, she finally realized that Mrs. Xu was talking over and over again, all of which were 'he is not my husband' and 'he is not Song Changgeng'. sentence.

How could she still say this now

Hong Jiu was a little speechless at first, but when he looked at Xu Shi's appearance, it didn't seem like he was lying. Hong Jiu has always been quite content with his own eyesight. The mouth is also like a rootless weed, unable to scratch other people's itch.

But if she wasn't lying, wouldn't she say...

The person who died was really not her husband? !
