Chapter 45 The kitchen knife that does not roll

The people who were hearing the trial outside the lobby heard Zhao's confession and confessed only after being tortured. The mother of the deceased, Tong, overturned the incident of her having sex with Zhao, saying that it was just a shadow of a tree, and Zhao was just shitting there. These ordinary people began to talk. Now, when Li Laosan heard this, he also overturned his previous testimony, saying that he had not seen clearly that the person at the scene of throwing the body was Zhao, but he just inferred from her clothes that it was her. Now it seems that it is not, because the person ignored his greetings. As a result, the people who were listening were even more uproar.

County Magistrate Kang looked at Li Laosan kneeling below in a daze, and even forgot to shoot the auspicious wood to stop the people outside the lobby talking loudly. After a long time, he came to his senses and repeatedly questioned Li Laosan. He still insisted that he was the guess that the person should not be Zhao.

County Magistrate Kang had no choice but to take Li Laosan down and spread the coroner.

After the coroner who was in charge of the autopsy came up, County Magistrate Kang asked him about the autopsy. The coroner replied: "It was a boy about seven or eight years old who was dismembered with a kitchen knife. The cut-off part was near the joints of the hands and feet, and there was also a head. Judging from the broken opening, this person should not know the joint situation, so he almost cut it directly on the bones. However, there is a very strange situation in this case, which is that the knife edge of the kitchen knife used for dismemberment extracted from the Zhao family did not have any curls or gaps. Why is this so small? It's not clear."

Regarding the latter part, the coroner did not say this when he was promoted to the court last time. Now that he said this, County Magistrate Kang's eyes widened again and said, "Where is that kitchen knife? Where is it?"

The kitchen knife was ready, and a clerk responsible for managing the evidence presented the kitchen knife and placed it on several cases. County Magistrate Kang picked it up and saw that the dark red blood stains were still there, and the blade did not have any bends or gaps.

Last time I was promoted to the court, I also looked at the kitchen knife, but I only asked Zaoli to give it to the criminal Zhao family to identify it. County Magistrate Kang did not ask him to show it to himself, so I didn't notice this problem at that time. Now it seems that this is true. This is troublesome.

County Magistrate Kang said in a deep voice: "Will the knife cut and split the corpse with a kitchen knife? Will the blade bend the gap?"

"It depends on how the corpse is dismembered. If you are familiar with the joints and the blade is cut from the gaps in the joints, it will not damage the blade. However, the fracture of the corpse in this case is almost on very hard large bones, including hands, feet, neck, and waist. A total of six large bones must be cut off, among which the leg bones are the hardest. If you want to cut such bones, the knife will definitely curl or have a gap."

Xiao Jiading, who was standing beside him, frowned and thought. He recalled that the corpse grid of the case had pictures on it, and he had looked at it carefully, but after all, it was a drawing, and it was drawn with a brush, so it was very rough, with only the shape of the hands and feet, and there were no detailed drawings of the broken limbs, so just from the drawing, you can't tell where the cut was specifically. Now, hearing this coroner's statement makes a lot of sense, and I can't help but feel strange.

Now, except for the defendant's confession, all the key evidence in this case has been overturned, and the tools for committing crimes have appeared very big doubts. If this is the case, then this case is probably not settled!

County Magistrate Kang was an amateur in the trial of the case. He just followed his own arrangement of clothes. This situation happened. He did not expect it. So he turned to look at Xiao Jiading behind him. Seeing that he lowered his head and pondered, he coughed.

Xiao Jiading looked up quickly and saw that County Magistrate Kang looked at him. He stepped forward and whispered: "There are many doubts in this case, and it needs further verification. You must withdraw from the court first. After you find out what's going on, you will be promoted to court to continue the trial."

County Magistrate Kang nodded, slapped his auspicious tree and said, "Get out!"

Then, County Magistrate Kang got up and walked out in a small way. Xiao Jiading followed him and came to the signing room.

County Magistrate Kang sat down and said to Xiao Jiading who was standing beside him: "What should I do about this case?"

Xiao Jiading thought for a while and said, "There are many new situations in the case, and we must investigate them one by one before we can talk about it."

"Well, you'll be responsible for the investigation."

"Yes!" Xiao Jiading returned to his study outside and sat down, thinking about how to investigate the case.

At this moment, Captain Dai came, nodded at the door and whispered: "Brother!"

Xiao Jiading hurriedly got up and said, "Captain Dai, come in! Come in and talk."

Captain Dai hurried in, stood beside his several cases, and said with a waist: "The incident of Wu Haidong has been found out. He did give birth to a son two months ago, and his father had only been dead for a year and nine months. He was a dead son. I arrested him last night and locked him up in prison. After interrogation, he confessed."

"Very good! This ignorant son is really unfilial!"

Captain Dai said again: "In addition, I have also found out several other crimes of him."

"Oh? What crime?"

"This guy is a cartilage. As soon as he put on torture instruments, he confessed everything. He told me many bad things he did, and he would not say that he would accept money when handling the case. He also had an affair with two wives! One of them was his sister-in-law! This beast! In addition, he also stole other people's things, which were worth several pieces of silk in total!"

Xiao Jiading said: "Have you verified the affair between him and his sister-in-law?"

"It was verified. After he explained last night, we immediately arrested the two women who had an affair with him. Without torture, they all explained it. It is true!"

Xiao Jiading sneered: "If you have an affair with your sister-in-law, you will have to be sentenced to two thousand miles away. Now it will be enough for him to drink a pot."

"Yes, yes, early in the morning, everyone in the yamen knew about it. They all said that he was a man of a dress and was very satisfying."

Xiao Jiading patted his shoulder and said, "You're doing a good job!"

"Thank you, my brother for your praise. I will say anything in the future."

"Well, there is something you want to help me with."

"What's the matter? Big brother"

"In the morning, the Zhao family's nephew killed and dismembered the case of dismemberment and dismemberment, and several important witnesses overturned the original testimony. The County Magistrate Kang felt it was strange and had ordered me to investigate. At that time, you will bring two people with me."

"Okay! I follow my elder brother's instructions and will definitely help me with the matter."

After Captain Dai left, Xiao Jiading went into the inner room to report the matter to Magistrate Kang County. Magistrate Kang nodded with satisfaction and asked the torture room to handle the matter quickly.

Xiao Jiading went to the execution room to pass the message. When the clerks in the execution room saw Xiao Jiading come in, they didn't have the previous attitude. They all seemed to see the magistrate Kang coming in in person. They stood respectfully and looked at him with a smile, including Xu Shifa from the execution room.

Xiao Jiading said to Xu Shifa: "Wu Haidong violated the criminal law and has been arrested. He will be transferred to the punishment room for trial soon. County Magistrate Kang asked me to tell you that this case must be handled impartially and concluded and reported as soon as possible!"

Xu Sifa nodded in agreement quickly.

Xiao Jiading said again: "In addition, County Magistrate Kang is not very satisfied with the quality of our criminal room case handling. I hope everyone will take a closer look at the criminal law and not handle the wrong case! We have the power of life and death, but we cannot joke about it."

Xu Sifa and others hurriedly nodded in agreement.

After Xiao Jiading left, the smile on Xu Sifa's face was closed and he said to the clerks in the execution room with a stern face: "I heard Xiao Zhiyi's words? You bastards, be careful in the future and don't hit Xiao Zhiyi's hands, otherwise Wu Donghai will be a role model!"

The clerks agreed and secretly stuck out their tongues.

Xiao Jiading did not return to the signing room, and he wanted to start investigating the case. He did not intend to ask the witnesses who overturned the testimony now. They all recounted their confessions in the lobby, and it is impossible to change the question now. He needed to find the real clues in the case to confirm whether these people had told the truth or fabricated lies.

Xiao Jiading has already figured out how to verify it, and he needs to start from the perspective of physical evidence.

The issue mentioned by the coroner was very important. He had to figure out what was going on. He first came to the physical evidence storage room of the yamen. Two Zaoli were on duty. When he saw him, he quickly stood up to salute.

Xiao Jiading said: "Is the murder of Zhao's nephew who was just promoted to the court to be tried? Has the weapon been sent back?"

Zaoli hurriedly said, "It's sent back, it's already put."

"Can I go in and take a look?"

The two Zaoli looked at each other with some embarrassment, and laughed and said, "The rules of the yamen are that this physical evidence room cannot be entered casually..."

"Mr. Kang ordered me to investigate this case. I need to go in and take a look. At the same time, I will ask you a few questions."

"That's it, please Xiao Zhiyi!"

Xiao Jiading stepped in and checked. The house was not big, with boxes of large and small inside. The words "Xiao Li" were posted on the box of the Zhao family case. The soap li pointed to the box of the Zhao family case and opened it. It was true that the blood-covered kitchen knife was lying inside.

Xiao Jiading picked it up, looked it over and over again, and said to Zaoli: "Has anyone touched this certificate except for the two promotions to the court?"

"No!" Both Zaoli shook their heads with certainty. One of them added: "Apart from being promoted to the church, no one usually sees these physical evidence."

"Is it possible that someone else will come in and drop the bag? Or take it out and use it, replace it with other physical evidence and send it back?"

"This is unlikely, because no one who comes to get the physical evidence can enter, so we wait at the door, we will pick it up. And we need to register."

"Um,"

Xiao Jiading nodded, thinking that he was going to come in just now. Before he mentioned the instructions from County Magistrate Kang, although the two of them knew that he could not afford to offend Zhiyi now, they still had to let him in. It means that what they said was that others could not enter should be true.
