Anecdotes about the Seine

【Mo Mao】Golden Swallow

([-]) name arrest

A woman knelt in the courtroom, trembling all over, not even daring to lift her head.

The county magistrate in the hall slammed the courtroom, and asked loudly, "The person kneeling in the hall is the Wang family of Dongcun?"

"Yes, yes..." The woman replied quickly, her tone sounded very scared.

"The deceased is your husband, Wang Er?" He pointed to a corpse on the ground on the right side of the courtroom.

"Yes, yes..." The woman seemed too scared to say anything else.

"In June of this year, your husband Wang Er had a private meeting with Widow Ye next door at home, and you caught him. You chased him from East Street to West Street with a kitchen knife. Is there such a thing?"

"This...it does happen, but my lord, I swear that I never really wanted to kill him!" The woman quickly cried out.

The county magistrate smiled triumphantly, stroked his beard and said, "It seems that you don't cry when you see the coffin, come here and call for witnesses!"

Two people walked out from behind the yamen servant and knelt down beside Wang, one on the left and the other on the right.On the left is a middle-aged man whose appearance is somewhat similar to that of the deceased.He kowtowed respectfully, and said: "The villain is king, I kowtow to meet the lord."

On the right is a middle-aged woman with a good face, although she is old, she still has charm.She bent down lazily, but inadvertently cast a wink at the county magistrate, and said softly: "Master Ye on the East Street knocks on your lord."

"You two, what is your relationship with the deceased?"

Wang Daxian said: "The villain is the elder brother of the deceased Wang Er, and he is also the person who reported the crime. Today I went out to fish and came back, and I had a good harvest. I wanted to give my younger brother two, so I found his house, but I knocked on the door for a long time. No. My younger brother sells sesame seed cakes, and he only opens the stall in the morning. In the evening, he must be at home to prepare the materials for tomorrow morning. So I was suspicious, so I slammed open the door. As soon as I entered, I saw my brother lying on the ground, lifeless I saw that he was still holding a half-eaten biscuit in his hand, so I paid attention to it, wrapped the half biscuit well, and then reported it to the police."

"Well, it's very clear." Satisfied, the county magistrate turned to Widow Ye.

The widow smiled at the county magistrate, laughing so hard that the county magistrate's whole body was numb.She began to speak softly: "My lord, you don't know something. That Wang's nature is rough and domineering, relying on the large dowry he brought when he married, he bullied Wang Er everywhere. Wang Er's nature is honest, how can he surpass that shrew?" .So he often came to me to complain, and once we came and went, we developed feelings...Then Wang Er is really an honest person, he doesn't understand anything, so let's just say what we did the first time..."

At this moment, Mrs. Wang's eyes widened with anger, the county magistrate coughed dryly, and reprimanded: "Okay, okay, let's get to the point!"

The widow covered her mouth and laughed a few times, then she straightened her expression and said: "That day, Mrs. Wang made a big noise and threatened Wang Er with a kitchen knife in disregard of her husband's face. I will chop you up sooner or later, find a good one!' Later, Wang Er came to me secretly again, saying something like 'the big thing is not good', 'that shrew is going to make a move', I asked him carefully, he He hesitated again. I felt something was wrong at the time. No, she did it in just a few days!"

"I didn't, don't spit blood!" Wang cursed angrily.

"Silence!" said the county magistrate, "Now present the physical evidence!"

Wu Zuo presented a half-eaten biscuit to the hall, and said: "Report to my lord, this villain has already experienced that there are indeed meth ingredients in this biscuit. In addition, this villain has seen the corpse. The deceased's face was blue and his tongue was swollen." Da, indeed died of poisoning."

The county magistrate slapped the gavel again: "Bold Mrs. Wang, now that there are witnesses and evidence, what else do you have to say?"

"Yes... it's them spouting blood!" Wang Shi was frightened and saddened, "I really never did it, I beg your lord to check it out!"

"Hmph, it seems that you won't tell the truth unless you suffer a little bit. Come, you will be punished!" The county magistrate said with a straight face, while making gestures to throw down the punishment card.

"Wait a minute!" Suddenly a delicate female voice came from outside.

All eyes turned to the door of the courtroom.I saw a woman in a police uniform walking in quickly.The woman looked very young, she seemed to be under 20 years old.She has a thin figure and a pretty face. Although her eyes are not big, they look piercing.She walked to the hall, made a bow with her body, and said loudly: "My lord, I have new evidence for my humble position."

She took out a piece of something from her body and put it in front of the county magistrate.It was a rag, ragged at the edges, that seemed to have been randomly torn from a piece of clothing.The county magistrate felt that the color of the cloth looked very familiar. After thinking for a while, he suddenly found that Wang Da, who was kneeling in the hall, seemed to be very similar to the color of the cloth.

"My lord's eyes are indeed so sharp." The female police officer obviously saw the direction of the county magistrate's eyes, so she complimented her, and then said: "This piece of cloth was found by the humble official in the home of the deceased Wang Er. If the inferior officer The reasoning is correct, then this piece of cloth was torn from Wang Da's body!"

Wang Da seemed taken aback, and subconsciously pulled down his clothes.The county magistrate signaled a yamen servant to come forward to check it out. Sure enough, there was a gap in the hem of Wang Da's clothes, and the line on the edge just fit the piece of cloth.

"Don't be quick, what are you trying to explain by bringing this thing?"

The policeman surnamed Mo smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, I want to prove that the murderer is not the Wang family, but the deceased's own brother, Wang Da!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the hall.That Wang Da looked angry, and said loudly: "You girl, you are spitting blood!"

Mo Bukuai didn't take it seriously, walked slowly to Wang Da's side, and asked slowly: "Wang Da, you said you went fishing today, didn't you?"

"Yes."

"Then, after you came back from fishing, you went directly to Wang Er's house, didn't you?"

"Yes."

"After you found the body, you came directly to the court to report the crime and have been there as a witness until now, right?"

"Yeah, what do you want to say?!" Wang Er was still full of anger.

"Since it's fishing..." Catcher Mo suddenly squatted down and looked at Wang Da's exposed soles: "It's strange, why are there no stains on your shoes?"

The county magistrate thought about it for a while: "Yes, if you go fishing early in the morning, the soles of your shoes will definitely be stained with sand on the river bank. After you come back, you won't have a chance to change or clean your shoes, which means..."

"Your Excellency is wise." Mo Mo said cheerfully.Then she suddenly pointed at Wang Da: "This means that he is lying!"

"I didn't, I didn't..." Wang Da's voice became smaller and smaller, but the panic on his face couldn't be concealed.

"You lied, which means you have a ghost in your heart. Why? Are you trying to keep the real murderer, or are you the murderer?" Mo Mo quickly continued: "If it is said that the sesame seed cake was poisoned, it is true that only Mrs. Wang It can be done, because only Wang Er and his wife have access to the ingredients during the whole cake-making process. But Wang's personality is rough and direct, and she probably doesn't want to use poison to kill people secretly. Even if she has a sneaky heart , why do you need to use such a way that you can't get rid of the suspicion? What's more..." She paused, and then said amazing words: "Wang Er didn't get poisoned because he ate sesame seed cakes at all—he was poisoned, Something else!"

Everyone in the hall was shocked, the county magistrate hastily asked: "Then what is it that poisoned Wang Er?"

Detective Mo smiled slightly and said, "Maybe search Wang Da's body to see if there is anything like a wine glass."

Several yamen servants rushed forward, completely ignoring Wang Da's protest.Sure enough, there was a small wine glass hidden on his body.Wu Zuo took it over and checked it, and found that there was still a faint aroma of almonds in the wine glass.He suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly said to the county magistrate: "My lord, when I think of the dead man, I have the same taste in my mouth."

"That's right." Mo Mo quickly laughed and said, "What poisoned Wang Er was not the rat poison that can be bought everywhere—that is, □□□, but a special kind of medicinal material—□□□!"

The county magistrate suddenly realized, and asked again: "Wang Da is a fisherman, where can I get this special medicinal material?"

Mo Mo quickly smiled and said: "Then you have to ask the widow Ye Shi, the widow of the owner of the largest medicine store on the East Street."

At this moment, Ye Shi's face was already pale, while Wang Da kept wiping away his sweat.However, Detective Mo still had the last blow: "This piece of cloth must have been torn from the murderer's body by the dead Wang Er's desperate struggle before his death. If my reasoning is correct, the dead man must have grabbed it from Wang Da's hands." scars!"

Wang Da didn't struggle any longer, and asked the yamen servant to check him indifferently.Sure enough, all the truth came out.

The county magistrate hadn't been punished yet, so the Ye family had already been recruited.It turns out that the widow who is flamboyant has an affair with the two brothers at the same time. The incident of Wang chasing people with a knife on the street made her feel ashamed, so she instigated Wang Da to be jealous of his younger brother, and proposed this ingenious plan. A plan to kill three birds with one stone - not only to get rid of Wang Er, but also frame the Wang family, and also annex the younger brother's family property.It's a pity that these two people have good calculations, but they can't match the return of the French Open, and they are careless.

When the two were escorted away, passers-by were still praising them.

"That female arrester is really powerful, I heard that she is the No.1 arrester in the county!"

"That's not true. He was originally working in the capital, but he prefers to go to the grassroots. He has already solved several major cases in the county."

"Do you know who she is? She is the daughter of the Great Master Mo."

"Huh? Why did the daughter of the Grand Master come to do this hard and tiring work?"

"Well, we don't understand the affairs of officials."

"Oh, if you don't talk about anything else, she really deserves to be the daughter of a grand scholar."

They didn't notice that the policewoman was nearby, listening to all this in silence.At first there was a smile on his face, and then the smile gradually disappeared, until he heard the last sentence, he sighed without a trace, turned and left.
