From Kowloon's Inheritance

Chapter 217 The Execution Ground Shouts Injustice!

There are four seasons in the sky, spring, summer, autumn, and winter; kings have four politics, celebration, reward, punishment, and punishment.

God's will, let virtue not punish, first virtue and then punishment.

Its law: it is impossible to report prisoners in November and December. "Except for those who "never wait for the time" such as treason and treason, the general death penalty must be executed after the autumn frost and before the winter solstice. In autumn and winter, the people are more leisurely, and everything is killed, so that the people can watch, warn the people, and intimidate the people. .

Cutting after autumn represents the ancient death reprieve.

It took about three to five months from the judgment of the death penalty to the execution of the death penalty.During this period of time, it is possible to continue to check the facts of the case and continue to rule out wrongful cases.

Thirty condemned prisoners were pulled up and knelt down on the ground, with a token stuck around their necks, with the word prisoner written in blood red on it.

Around ten o'clock in the morning,

The black fox stood in front, holding the file in his hand, and shouted loudly: "Fourth Qian, robbed property, totaling 72 taels, resulting in two deaths and five injuries, and the sentence of beheading, is it convincing?"

The prisoner said: "Convince me!"

"Cut!" Li Mu waved his hand and dropped a token with the character "Cut".

An executioner stepped forward, took off the token from the prisoner's neck, raised the ghost knife, and dropped it with one blow.

Clean and neat, the head fell down, and the neck position, blood spurted out, the scene was bloody and terrifying.

Some people screamed in fright, some people kept applauding, and some people covered the children's eyes, it was too scary and would frighten children.

The scene was extremely bloody, and Li Mu felt uncomfortable for a while.

It's too scary, it's still the death by electrocution in the previous life, the death by injection in the previous life is better, but the next moment, Li Mu's face turned stern... No, it's still worth keeping.

It is important to catch murderers, but it is even more important to prevent crimes. How to prevent, one is to improve the living standards of residents, the other is to increase the cost of crime, and the other is to increase the difficulty of crime.And such cutting after autumn can increase the cost of crime.

"Li Er, guilty of murder..."

"Sun Qianyi..."

"Zhao Beicheng..."

The black fox said the murderer's name, said the murderer's name, and then asked the murderer if he was convinced?
The murderer is convincing!
So the executioner stepped forward to behead him.

Sentencing requires the criminal to be convinced and completely admired.

In theory, committing ten heinous crimes, such as treason, treason (destruction of royal temples, mausoleums), treason (betrayal of the court), evil treason (beating and murdering elders), immorality (killing a family is not a death penalty for 3 people and Dismemberment of people), great disrespect (offending the emperor), disfilial piety, discord (murder of relatives), injustice (officials killing each other, soldiers killing officials, students killing teachers, etc.), civil strife (relatives committing adultery or rape, etc.).

In fact, there are only two, one is homicide, the other is rebellion,

In the previous Chinese criminal law, there were 68 crimes that could be punished by death, but in total, there were only two, one was homicide and the other was crime of endangering the state.

Pfft!

Pfft!

Looking at it alone, Li Mu changed from initial fear to calmness.

The black fox said again: "Yu Peimin killed his wife and sentenced to death! Are you convinced?"

At this time, the prisoner shouted: "I didn't kill it. The wife is not mine? I quarreled with my wife, but I didn't intend to kill him. It really wasn't me... It was torture to extract a confession. I couldn't hold it anymore, so I confessed. place. It's really not me!"

As he spoke, he began to cry.

The voice trembled, as if frightened.

Suddenly, the executioner looked at the black fox, and the black fox looked at Li Mu.

Li Mu said: "I'll ask you one more question, are you wronged?"

"I was really wronged, the Elder Master wants to make the decision for me!" As he spoke, the prisoner began to cry again, very sadly.

Li Mu said: "When a man is about to die, his words are good; when a bird is about to die, his song is mournful! I hope you are innocent...but if you dare to deceive this officer, you will be severely punished! Detain me!"

"Yes!"

Thus, the condemned prisoner was detained.

The black fox continued to read the charges, questioning the prisoner, whether he was convinced or not, the prisoners pleaded guilty one by one, but no one complained of injustice before the execution.

Crying for injustice before execution can indeed temporarily avoid death, but as the saying goes, the truth cannot be false, and the false cannot be true.

Many cases are not difficult to investigate and are easy to investigate.

Only those who have been truly wronged can be re-tried, and their grievances may be cleared; as for those who were originally guilty, they cannot be washed away.

…………

At night, Li Mu began to interrogate.

"Tell me about the case!"

Li Mu said.

"My lord, that day, I was studying at home, but a group of government servants came and said that a woman's body was found in the west of the city, and they said it was my wife. So, I was caught in the prison. At first I refused to admit it, so I tortured and extorted a confession. Come on, I can't stand it anymore, I have to admit it!"

"But I'm really wronged!"

"I really didn't kill my wife!"

As he spoke, the prisoner burst into tears.

Is this case complicated? It's not complicated at all!
Li Mu observed, through micro-expressions, the prisoner was telling the truth, not lying.

Looking at the maid Sun Mengxi, Sun Mengxi stepped forward, mobilized the insanity technique, and began to hypnotize the prisoner. The prisoner was just an ordinary person, so naturally he couldn't stand the hypnosis, so he spoke out quickly.

Under hypnosis, the prisoner did not kill.

"Tell me, is it possible for him to resist hypnosis?" Li Mu said suddenly.

"Impossible, he's only the eighth-level Houtian, and he can't handle my hypnotism!" Sun Mengxi said.

"The only thing we can do is to check that female corpse!" Li Mu pondered.

"But that corpse has already been buried half a year ago!" Sun Mengxi said, "We can't open the coffin for an autopsy!"

Li Mu said: "It's impossible to test!"

Insufficient equipment.

"Then what should we do?" Sun Mengxi said.

"What else can I do, it can only be cold salad!" Li Mu said: "It can only be delayed, locked in prison, waiting for the result... After all, people are not leeks! Leeks can grow back after cutting them off; but The human head is cut off, and it will never grow back. Find evidence and sort out the case!"

Three days later, Li Mu was dealing with official business, when Liu Qingchan suddenly said, "My lord, have you found it?"

"What did you find?" Li Mu asked.

"When Qiuhou was executed, some death-row prisoners were executed. One of the prisoners complained on the spot, saying that he did not kill his wife, and that he did not kill anyone...It turned out that he did not lie, and now his wife is back. He has come back from the dead!" Liu Qingchan said : "No, it's not resurrection from the dead, but it's not dead at all!"

"This is interesting!"

Li Mu smiled.

He had a lot of speculations, maybe someone killed his wife and framed Peimin.

Turns out, the wife didn't die at all.

PS: There are some Calvins, just an update today.

Some plots are being conceived, and the thinking is a bit messy.

This case is a real case.Among the top ten unjust cases in modern China, one man was sentenced to death for killing his wife. As a result, his wife came back a year later, and the truth came out.
