Chapter 164 Who is the murderer
at
Jiangzhou is not a hot place. In addition, Mrs. Yu just died a few days ago, and the murderer has not yet been found. The body is still stored in Yizhuang, and it is still well preserved. If it wasn't for today's incident, it would probably be closed as a headless case.
When the corpse was carried up, there was a faint smell, and the yamen guards on both sides couldn't help taking two steps back, only Qian was crying more and more sadly.
Gongsun Zhuoyu didn't dislike it, he waved his hand and signaled his master Wan Chongshan to bring him a pair of cloth gloves. Rolling up his sleeves and putting them on, he stepped down from the courtroom and lifted the white cloth covering the corpse.
This is the first time that Gongsun Zhuoyu has seen a corpse, in the past this kind of thing was done by gangsters. Yu's body was dumped on a sparsely populated roadside with disheveled clothes and had sexual intercourse before his death. There was a thin bloodstain on his neck, and he was strangled to death. The initial estimated time of death was between Zishi and Choushi, that is, between eleven o'clock in the evening and three o'clock in the morning.
Gongsun Zhuoyu patrolled Yu's body inch by inch with his eyes, not letting go of any subtleties. In the end, he even half-kneeled on the ground regardless of his image, and bent down to untangle the corpse's hair.
It was the first time that the common people had seen this kind of battle, and there was a lot of discussion, "What is he doing, is he still trying the case?"
"Mystery."
"Could it be that you want to take advantage of Mrs. Yu's beauty?"
The taste of the county magistrate is too heavy.
Just when the onlookers were secretly dumbfounded, Gongsun Zhuoyu finally stopped his strange movements. He thought about it, if a woman's life is threatened or violated, she will inevitably struggle violently, scratching and kicking, it is possible.
Thinking of this, he pinched Yu Shi's wrist. Although she was a peasant woman, she was beautiful and tidy, with half an inch of nails left, pale and gray. Wei Wei used some force to break it apart, and there was blood and flesh hidden inside.
Gongsun Zhuoyu handed Mrs. Yu's hand to Mrs. Qian to see, "Before Mrs. Yu died, she struggled violently, and the nails of her right hand were cut off in half, and there was a little fleshy foam hidden inside, obviously scratching the assailant."
After speaking, he pointed to Liu Yaozu, "It's only a few days, no matter what kind of panacea is used, it will leave some traces, old lady, do you think Liu Yaozu is injured?"
Qian looked along, but saw Liu Yaozu's face was fair and clean, as was his neck. A yamen servant stepped forward and took off his clothes, but there were no injuries on his body either.
The older girls and younger daughter-in-laws who were watching were so ashamed when they saw this, they kept stomping their feet. Liu Yaozu also blushed, and hurriedly put on his clothes.
Qian said, "Maybe he ordered his servants to kill Suyun!"
A son like Liu Yaozu has a lot of minions around him, if he really wants to kill someone, he really doesn't have to do it himself.
Gongsun Zhuoyu put Yu's hand back, "As for this, his servants have time to witness. Liu's family is relatively well-off, and the servants serve tea and water, perform their duties, and all are under the supervision of their mother. If there is one missing, It will definitely be discovered."
After finishing speaking, he said, "By the way, those boys who usually follow Liu Yaozu also went to the Donglai Gambling House with him that night, and there were a dozen witnesses. And according to the servant at the door of Liu's family, they will see you at the hour of the night. Mrs Yu ran out of the gate of Liu's house and headed east, the watchman can testify."
In other words, Mrs. Yu was still alive when he left the Liu Mansion, and what Liu Yaozu said was the truth. If he really plotted something wrong, why let him go.
Gongsun Zhuoyu overthrew what everyone thought was the truth, they were all surprised and looked at each other in blank dismay. I don't want to believe it, but I can't find a loophole to refute it.
The old man dressed as a wealthy businessman stood in the crowd with a pensive expression on his face, obviously a little puzzled, he turned his head to look at the man in purple beside him, "Do you think what he said is true or false?"
Du Lingchun put his hands in his sleeves, lowered his eyes, and smiled bottomlessly. At first glance, he looked like a complete slave, "whatever the master says, it is what it is."
But here, Gongsun Zhuoyu was already planning to quit the court, he was not interested in finding the murderer, so he just took money from the Liu family and proved Liu Yaozu's innocence. Turning around, he was about to go up to the high seat, but someone behind him asked loudly, "If Liu Yaozu is not the murderer, then who is the murderer?"
Ok?
Gongsun Zhuoyu turned his head, but saw that it was the rich businessman who spoke before, thinking that this old man talked too much, and his mouth was small. Just as he was about to say that idlers should be left alone, unexpectedly, the people onlookers also said, "That's right, who is the murderer!"
"Find out the murderer and let Mrs. Yu be rehabilitated!"
"My lord, avenge your grievances!"
The system joins in the fun with tears in its eyes to redress its grievances! Redress!
Gongsun Zhuoyu has no other good things, if he insists on highlighting one or two advantages, that is to repay favors and show loyalty. At least the system gave him a life, and he was more or less complacent, and said, "It's just this one time, it's not an example."
After saying that, she retracted her steps, turned back to the side of Yu Shi's body, and took off her embroidered shoes for everyone to see, only to see that the soles of the shoes were covered with red mud.
Gongsun Zhuoyu said, "The place where Mrs. Yu was discovered was on the sparsely populated red mud road, the only place in Jiangzhou County where there is red soil. If she was thrown away after death, the soles of her shoes would definitely not be stained with red mud. Apparently she was killed while walking down the red dirt road."
Mrs. Qian hesitated and said, "But... But Hongni Dao is sparsely populated, it's close to the mountainside, and it's not the way to my house..."
This Gongsun Zhuoyu doesn't know, and he is not a god. "She left Liu's residence in the middle of the night, and either she was in a panic when it was dark, or she was coerced by villains."
After he finished speaking, he lifted the hem of his robe, half-kneeled on the ground, lifted Yu Shi's chin, and showed the scar on her neck for everyone to see, "She was strangled to death, the wound is very thin, not like the rough hemp rope,
It's something slender and flexible like a bowstring. And the man who killed her was strong. "
Yu's was obviously tainted quite a bit, and there were many red marks on her cheeks, like the marks left by someone kissing vigorously and scratching her beard.
As far as Gongsun Zhuoyu said, it seemed as if he already knew the answer. Slowly got up from the ground, took off the gloves and threw them to Master Wan Zhongshan, "Who can use a bowstring, and who lives on a deserted mountain..."
The answer is already there.
Gongsun Zhuoyu walked up to the high hall with his arms around his shoulders, leaning back on the grand teacher's chair as if he had no bones, thoughtful, and read out the characteristics of the inferred murderer one by one, "There are three fingernail scratches left by a woman on his body, and the beard Bushy, had a bow at home, was strong, lived in the mountains, had no wife, was alone...probably a nearby hunter."
After he finished speaking, he patted the gavel, awakening the stunned crowd, and raised his hand to summon the arresters, "According to what the officer said just now, quickly search around the red mud road, and bring back all suspicious persons."
The head catcher stood under the hall, came to his senses after hearing the words, and immediately took orders to leave. At the same time, he secretly wondered, the sun came out from the west today, except for the first few days when he took office, this was the first time he saw Gongsun Zhuoyu handling cases so diligently.
The onlookers were all waiting for the results, wanting to see what the county magistrate could find out, and at the same time couldn't help talking about it. The characteristics of the murderer listed by Gongsun Zhuoyu seem to be unreasonable, but after careful consideration, they are not aimless, making it hard to refute.
Yu's body was lying quietly in the center of the hall, no matter how hot the sun was, it could not warm her any more. She would only rot and stink with the passage of time. Human life is so fragile.
Gongsun Zhuoyu leaned on the chair, a little sleepy. He doesn't like trial, because this kind of thing can't bring him any benefit, it will only waste energy in vain. The Liu family can still show filial piety, but the Qian family is an ordinary farmer, so it is not bad to be able to send a bag of corn.
He still wants to be a famous minister, no matter the kind with good or bad reputation. To be recorded in the annals of history, to prove that I have been to this dynasty once.
Gongsun Zhuoyu closed his eyes and rested his mind, quietly thinking about the road ahead. Those who should give filial piety to their superiors should still be filial, otherwise how can they be promoted. Those who should make money still have to make money. There are more than a dozen mouths in the family waiting to be supported, and there are so many diners. There is just one thing, in this life, you will not be able to join Cai Jie's sect if you are killed.
That's a bad luck.
Gongsun Zhuoyu still doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with his behavior in his previous life. There are many corrupt civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty. He was caught out because he took refuge in the wrong person. He had to find a stable backer in his life.
Although the red mud road is some feet away from here, it is not too far. Coupled with the fact that the arresters are skilled, the search is also quick. After about an hour or so, someone outside suddenly reported, trotting into the courtroom, "Report! My lord, we caught a hunter while searching near the red mud road!"
"Wow—"
The people were in an uproar when they heard the words, didn't they, did they really get caught? !
Everyone looked back one after another, and spontaneously gave way to a path, only to see two yamen servants escorting a strong man into the room. The other party had a black beard, an old tiger skin around his waist, and coarse cloth clothes. His exposed arms were full of muscles. When he struggled, even the yamen servants barely held him down.
"Be honest! Go!"
The head catcher brought him into the courtroom, he clasped his fists to Gongsun Zhuoyu and said, "My lord, I was searching around the red mud road according to your order, and I accidentally saw this person acting suspiciously, peeping furtively from a distance, so I arrested him. "
The man struggled and gasped, "I didn't commit a lawsuit! Why are you arresting me! Why are you arresting me!"
With sharp eyes, Gongsun Zhuoyu noticed three inconspicuous scratches on his neck, so he sat up slightly, "Who is in the hall, tell me your name."
The man was startled when he heard the words, as if frightened by his serious voice, he finally stopped struggling, and said reluctantly, "Little Liu Erhu."
Gongsun Zhuoyu closed his eyes lightly, "Well, what do you do for a living?"
Liu Erhu said, "I have no father or mother since I was a child, and I lived in the mountains by hunting."
Gongsun Zhuoyu opened his eyes, "Do you have a wife?"
Liu Erhu shook his head, "Responding to my lord's words, the villain has been poor since he was a child, and has a rough temper. In addition, he has no elders in his family, so he hasn't married yet."
Gongsun Zhuoyu smiled, dressed in a brocade official uniform, looking suave, the woman outside couldn't help but blushed, "Liu Erhu, turn your head and look."
Liu Erhu was taken aback, and turned his head away, but saw a person lying on the ground, his face was covered by a white cloth. Just as he was about to ask aloud, an unexplained gust of evil wind suddenly blew up in the hall, and the white cloth was blown away, Yu Shi's corpse turned its head, and was facing him impartially.
The bluish-white corpse, the disheveled hair on the temples, the coldness and the smell of corpses, silently revealed what happened to her.
With the scorching sun on his head, someone broke out in a cold sweat from fright.
