The group of people settled down on Leprosy Mountain like this. Although the conditions were relatively difficult, fortunately, they no longer had to worry about it. Moreover, Grandma Yuan could also concentrate on making prescriptions. Just using western medicine would not work. If we want to conquer leprosy in this era, we still need to
Use the medical methods of this era.
Tang Yang did not stay here, but was responsible for purchasing the herbs. Since the herbs were already delivered, this move did not attract any attention.
Yu Wenhao is still investigating the widower's case.
The suspect was initially identified as the husband of the deceased woman, who was a butcher. When the crime occurred, he had no evidence of alibi. He only said that he was sleeping at home, but no one at home could prove it.
In the butcher's house, a blood-stained knife and a piece of bloody clothes were found, which were confirmed to be human blood. However, the butcher denied that the knife belonged to him and said that he had never seen it before.
As for the bloody clothes, he admitted that they were his, but the clothes had been kept in the cabinet and he didn't know how they got stained with blood.
During the interrogation, he said that he knew about the affair between his mother-in-law and the widower, and he was very angry at first, but the widower's two sons earned money, and the widower was generous and gave him money every time, while he didn't earn much by helping others slaughter pigs.
It was very difficult to raise three children. When my wife took back the money, I turned a blind eye.
The government officials also asked the surrounding neighbors and said that they had heard about the widower and the deceased woman because they were very unscrupulous and would sometimes fight in front of outsiders, with a warm and affectionate attitude.
Some neighbors even said that the widower had teased his wife in front of the butcher, and even verbally insulted the butcher because he had a few bad dollars.
Not only that, even the butcher's wife treats the butcher very poorly. She always points her finger at him and says that he has no future and that his income is not enough for the family's expenses. The neighbors have heard and seen with their own eyes that the butcher's wife calls the butcher a waste and a coward.
It can be said that the butcher has no dignity at home, but he really can't make much money by killing pigs for others. In order to make a living, after killing the pigs in the morning, he would go to the dock to work as a coolie. As for the day of the crime, he
I didn't go because I sprained my foot the day before, so I slept at home.
The officer went to the dock to investigate and confirmed that the butcher had indeed been hit by someone on the day before the incident. He fell to the ground and lost his goods. He was also scolded by the foreman and all his wages for the day were deducted.
The workers at the dock said that although the butcher looked tough, he was very cowardly and did not dare to resist when bullied. It was hard to believe that he would kill someone.
The Ministry of Punishment has been putting pressure on Yu Wenhao and gave him a deadline to solve the case.
The main reason is that this case is very tragic. The dead woman's body had her fingers and toes cut off, and the dead man's roots were cut. This case has been repeatedly circulated in Beijing. The Ministry of Punishments means that this case has caused great panic among the people and must be investigated.
The murderer must be caught as soon as possible.
During the meeting at the Jingzhao Mansion, the master said: "Although the butcher did not admit the fact of the murder, the bloody knife and clothes found in his home, plus the illicit relationship between the man and the woman, could definitely constitute his motive for the murder, even though he was said to be cowardly.
, however, often the more cowardly a person is, the more brutal he or she will be once it breaks out."
The catcher also agreed with what the master said, "Sir, my subordinate handled a similar case a few years ago. The murderer was also extremely cowardly, but after being repeatedly humiliated, he became extremely brutal and killed several people in a row. I think this case is the same.
Although the butcher has accepted the mother-in-law's affair with another person, how can he accept this kind of thing? I'm afraid that accepting it is a strategy of forbearance, but in fact he is waiting for an opportunity to kill."
The newly transferred Prime Minister Gao Fucheng laid out all the evidence and expressed his agreement with the two men. He said to Yu Wenhao: "Sir, the deadline for solving the case is approaching, and the butcher still refuses to plead guilty. Is it possible to consider using punishment? He is just talking.
