Chapter 27
Faced with the three people screened out, everyone thinks that Deng Shushan, a villager from another village twenty miles away, should be excluded the most. This exclusion is also a natural guess. He is already 65 years old. , In this era, he can be regarded as a long-lived person. He himself is already very old. Let a person in his 60s run more than ten miles in the wild at night, killing and raping him, even if he is killed.

The second doctor who walks around the streets is in his forties.Although this person is over forty years old, he has walked the streets and alleys for many years, and his physical condition and strength of hands and feet can meet the requirements for committing crimes.It is said that he is the most suspected, and he is also the most qualified to commit the crime.It's just that when the police made this judgment, the county magistrate thought that his suspicion was not serious.

Because according to previous inferences, the murderer should have entered the room through the window, and the window of the room was probably opened by Liu Qiaoer herself.From this point of view, Liu Qiaoer should have recognized the murderer and opened the window without any precautions.And how can a big girl with yellow flowers who has not left the cabinet open the window for a shopkeeper in his forties in the middle of the night?This obviously doesn't make sense.

The policeman asked a new question, what if someone else pretended to be the person Liu Qiaoer knew?
The county magistrate thought for a while and said, this may be true, but if Liu Qiaoer was a lover in private, then he would not hear the voice of a man in his 40s as the voice of a lover.

The last suspect is a 17-year-old Tongsheng from the next village. He passed the provincial examination last year, and is planning to take the county examination this year to become a scholar.His father, Deng Tong, opened a small medicine shop, and his family was well-off. His son, Deng Shushan, was intelligent since he was a child, with good looks and a hardworking study.

Seeing this person's information, everyone thought of a previous rumor that Liu Qiaoer often boasted before his death that he would marry a Jinshi master in the future. Could it be that they have known each other for a long time?One is someone who is sure to be admitted as a scholar in the future, and it may not be impossible to be admitted to a Jinshi, and the other is someone who is going to marry a Jinshi master. If there is no certain relationship, she is a peasant girl, why should she marry a Jinshi?
The most important point is that the younger sister is cute, this boy is handsome and polite, which is exactly in line with the little daughter's mind.Could he be Liu Qiaoer's lover?

Otherwise, human imagination is infinite, as long as one idea is given, people can make up countless possibilities.

The police should ask the county magistrate to issue a token to arrest this Deng Shushan.

Yao Qingyuan, the county magistrate, did not agree to this request. He believed that there were still doubts, and how could he be convicted based on speculation without direct evidence.He then sent people to three places to find the chief security officer and the villagers to learn about the activities of the three people the night before the crime.

During this visit, it was discovered that the old man in his sixties was already unable to move around, and there was no possibility of committing a crime.The night before the incident, the salesman was extremely excited because he had sold some high-priced cosmetics. He got drunk at the inn that night, and when the officials found him, he was still sleeping soundly.His clothes were also yesterday's clothes, and he had never changed. The owner of the inn can testify that he never left the inn after drinking.

When I learned about Tongsheng, I made a major discovery. Tongsheng passed through Qingshui Village the day before the crime, and because of being splashed with dirty water, he had some intersections with Liu Qiaoer.

More importantly, when the guards asked him about the clothes he was wearing yesterday, Deng Tongsheng hesitated and couldn't explain where the clothes went, but said vaguely that the clothes were lost.

At this point, Yao county magistrate believed that Tongsheng Deng Shushan was the most likely murderer, so he threw down the fire lottery order and ordered the officers to quickly arrest Deng Shushan and bring him to justice.

The wolf-like guards caught Deng Shushan at the scene in a short time, and the magistrate Yao asked Deng Shushan to confess to the murder on the spot.

Yao county magistrate asked him to hand over the long gown he was wearing that day, but the scholar couldn't tell where the gown went.

When the county magistrate saw that the scholar deliberately denied it, he became angry from the bottom of his heart. The daring murderer actually pleaded not guilty in the face of irrefutable evidence.

At first, Deng Shushan refused to plead guilty, but after being sentenced, he quickly changed his mouth and admitted that he raped and killed Liu's mother and daughter.

The county magistrate asked him to confess the cut off female body parts and the murder weapon.The scholar couldn't tell, he said he threw it into the well, and then he said he threw it into the river.He couldn't tell the exact location, and the guards and the security chief took the villagers to look around, but found nothing.Only a villager said that he found a bloody garment in the shallows by the river.

The county magistrate was overjoyed, so he sent someone to retrieve the clothes. It was the clothes that Deng Shushan could not find, and there were torn places on the clothes, which fit perfectly with the cloth strips hanging on the tree.

So far, Deng Shushan could no longer quibble, so he pleaded guilty in his confession.

Although the murder weapon and the body artifacts of the murdered woman have not been brought to the case.But Yao county magistrate decided that Deng Shushan was the murderer, and his hiding of the murder weapon was just an illusion to get rid of the crime.

Seeing that the criminal had pleaded guilty to the law, he closed the case based on this. Deng Shushan raped and murdered with extremely cruel methods, which was a heinous crime. The Ministry of Punishment made a decision.

During the re-examination by the Jingzhao government office, they believed that the case was still suspicious and the evidence was incomplete, so they rejected the county government for retrial.When the case was sent back to Fang Tong again, county magistrate Yao had transferred him, and when the successor county magistrate was about to retry the case, the suspect Deng Shushan fell ill due to torture, shock, and cold, and died within a month.

The case has become suspicious.Therefore, the scene of the case was too bloody and cruel, and the nature of the case was too bad, so Wu Desi reported it to the emperor as a folk anecdote.The emperor originally wanted to order a retrial of the case, but the people involved were waiting to die, and the conditions for a retrial were no longer met, so it had to be shelved.

Lu Ningshuang looked at the file in her hand and fell into deep thought.

They dug up the old case from three years ago and put it in front of them, the purpose of consideration was too obvious.However, this consideration does have weight, and it is directly death-level difficulty.

She thought in her heart that the most difficult thing about this case was not how to try it, but that it had been three years, and three years was enough time to wash away all traces of the real criminal.

Moreover, the most terrible thing is that in this case, the main suspect has died, which directly doubles the difficulty of the case.

The emperor asked himself to read the case file, saying that he was sorting out the case. In fact, he gave this case obviously to see if he really had the ability to solve the case, and to see if he had the ability to turn decay into magic.

If he really broke the case, maybe he would let him pay off the merits and avoid the punishment of killing some dog.If he was helpless, the emperor might punish him for several crimes and chop himself off.

She carefully calculated in her heart, judging from the existing files, what conditions must be met to solve this case.

What a mess...
