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 concentrate on preparing the 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 neighbors and said that they had heard about the widower and the deceased woman because they did not shy away from suspicion 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 his mother-in-law's affair with another person, how can he accept such a thing?
I'm afraid that accepting it is a strategy of forbearance, but in fact it 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, now that the deadline for solving the case is approaching, and the butcher still refuses to plead guilty, can we consider the use of punishment?
He was just stubborn, and he relented after being sentenced."
Yu Wenhao pressed his hands and said, "Exercise is not a good strategy. Have you ever investigated whether the deceased had any grudges with others?"
The head catcher said: "After investigation, we found that although the deceased man and woman were high-profile and offended many people, there has never been a case where they had such deep hatred that they would use such brutal methods to kill them."
Seeing that Yu Wenhao was still hesitating, Gao Fucheng said: "My lord, now the whole capital is staring at this case. We really can't delay it any longer. Let's go to jail. In fact, the evidence of the crime is conclusive. Do you think this move of cutting off the root of the crime?"
, in fact, it just proves that the murderer vented his hatred for his wife, and this move may have been planned for a long time."
Yu Wenhao said: "Your analysis is reasonable, but..." He paused, still feeling that something was not quite right.
"Sir, do you have any other comments?"
Master asked.
Yu Wenhao looked through the files. In fact, all the evidence so far points to the butcher. On the surface, nothing can be seen.
He looked at the crowd and said: "I want to ask you, if you were the murderer, would you kill with such a big fanfare?
The two of them died on the bed. Outsiders would know their relationship at a glance. They would definitely doubt him at first, but he neither threw away the bloody clothes nor the murder weapon. Is there anyone so stupid?
Moreover, you also analyzed that he has been planning for a long time."
He pulled out another confession and put it in front of everyone, "This confession was recorded by a dock worker. It proves that he really has a sprained leg and cannot work. It does not mean that he cannot kill people because of his sprained leg, but it means that he cannot kill so smoothly.
Neither the male deceased nor the female deceased were weak people, but there were not many signs of fighting at the scene. Although the deceased died tragically, they were unable to resist. Can a person with limited mobility and no martial arts know how to do this?
?”
Everyone didn't expect this, and they all frowned when they heard Yu Wenhao's analysis, "So, he was framed?
Could that be a crime?"
Yu Wenhao shook his head, "No, two lives cost a lot of money, and he can't afford the money. If he had the money, he wouldn't have to work as a coolie on the dock, and he wouldn't be bullied by his mother-in-law all the time.
"
All the humiliation of the butcher comes from his poverty. If he has money to buy a life, how can he live such a useless life?
The master thought for a while, "Could it be killing someone out of anger?
After killing someone, he panicked and took back the bloody clothes and the murder weapon... However, it didn't make sense. He was unable to move. If they got into a fight, he must have alerted the neighbors."
The case seems to be at a deadlock.
In the study room of Prince An's Mansion.
King An returned to the mansion on vacation. After returning to the mansion, he first went to see the princess. The princess was taking a nap, so he called Ah Ru to the study without waking her up.
Ah Ru was pushed on the Luohan bed. After a lot of wantonness, King An arranged his clothes and sat on the chair of the imperial master. His eyes were cold and cold, without any trace of the enthusiasm just now. "How do you think Yu Wenhao will judge the case?"
