Dayong Nu sentenced to death

Chapter 610 Guess, Approval

"The deceased died of excessive blood loss, but the amount of bleeding at the scene did not match the severity of the injury. Lord Gai said that he may have been hanged there deliberately after killing someone elsewhere."

Shen Zhibai looked at her with a solemn expression: "He feels that the murderer's behavior this time is somewhat similar to the one who threw the corpse at the Lu's Peach Blossom Banquet not long ago."

Such a rampant move seems to be deliberately provoking the government.

Hearing this, Su Rao slowly tilted her body, resting her chin with one hand, thoughtful, Shen Zhibai saw her frowning slightly, staring at something in a daze, and said in a low voice: "If it is really as Mr. Gai guessed, what will happen next?" It's very troublesome, the murderer behind the scenes seems to be eyeing the government."

If the murderer who killed Li Cheng and dumped his body was the same murderer as the murderer two days ago, he would take pleasure in provoking the criminal justice department.

As long as you can't catch people for a day.

Then they will not be safe for a day, after all, no one knows what a madman with red eyes will do.

"Prejudice is the most important thing to avoid when deciding a case. Before there is no conclusive evidence, don't jump to conclusions."

Su Rao rubbed her cheeks and earlobes lightly with her fingers, and said calmly, "Tell Lord Gai, first find out the identity of the deceased."

"The Jingzhao government is investigating."

Shen Zhibai encountered such a difficult case when he first came to the capital, and he was somewhat nervous in his heart, but seeing Su Rao's gentle and calm eyebrows and eyes as before, he calmed down like a ghost.

"My lord, shall we cooperate with the Jingzhao government to investigate the case together?"

he asked tentatively.

Su Rao narrowed her eyes and chuckled, "Yes, Shengjing is under the jurisdiction of Southwest Beijing Road. Speaking of which, this is also my responsibility."

"Master Gai said that with you here, he can feel at ease."

Shen Zhibai remembered that just after the murder case happened, when he met Gai Heng for the first time, he came to meet the criminal judge, his face was as pale as paper, and he kept walking back and forth in the courtyard like ants on a hot pot, calling out that something big was going to happen, and asked them when Mr. Su return.

At that time, the city was full of trouble because of the marriage contract.

Banyue Xiaozhu closed the door to thank the guests, and they didn't know when the trouble would last, so they could only stabilize Mr. Gai first and send him back.

Shen Yuan also laughed at him as the governor of Jingzhao Mansion, who was in charge of the power alone, and it was really inappropriate to panic like this when something happened.

Shen Zhibai is aware of Gai Heng's embarrassment.

At the foot of the Son of Heaven, there are many dignitaries, and it is not easy to be a Beijing official, especially in such a powerful position, where countless pairs of eyes are watching, and if you make a mistake, you will be pulled down.

Gai Heng was able to sit on this chair for several years because he had his own way of being an official.

"Of course he is at ease. If the sky falls, there will be a tall person to support him. If the lightning strikes his head, it will only scratch his head."

Su Rao joked with a smile.

What she said was not groundless. In the past, her father led the post of punishment on Southwest Jinglu Road and solved countless cases. Mr. Gai followed suit and was promoted all the way.

Later, her father was convicted, and the imperial court abolished the Criminal Division of South Jingxi Road, and the cases under its jurisdiction were divided into Dali Temple and the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Jingzhaofu is only in charge of the city and the counties around Gyeonggi.

With his ability, he has been able to barely support these years. Although he has been criticized, he has come here several times without any danger. Now that His Majesty restarted the Jingxian Road to mention the Criminal Division, it is equivalent to choosing between His Majesty and Jingzhao Mansion. a high wall.

No matter whether he is going through wind, frost, snow or rain, she will always stand in front of him with this punishment.

Gai Heng couldn't feel at ease.

Presumably his appetite has improved a lot in recent days.

"Isn't that good too?"

Shen Zhibai said with a smile: "Knowing how to judge the situation is also a kind of wisdom, at least it will not add chaos at critical times."

"Master Shen, is this deeply touched?"

Su Rao asked with a smile.

Shen Zhibai shyly avoided her scrutiny, and sighed softly: "Before I sat in that position, I was really full of ambition and fighting spirit, but I found out later that there are people with sweet belly swords, and some people with snake and mouse ends, the most difficult thing is not those complicated chores , but speculate on people's hearts."

He can't do it.

So I would rather come to her side to be a prosecutor, at least I can have peace and peace of mind.

Su Rao smiled without saying a word, and the two shared the case files of each state and county, and each of them leaned over their desks and began to process and approve.

There are still two or three months before the autumn trial. Before that time, the backlog of cases in hand must be sorted out and handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for review.

Time is pressing and there is no room for delay.

With some sultry wind blowing into the hall through the bamboo grove and flower windows, rustling the paper and pen, Su Rao pressed the things with a ruler, raised her fingers to brush away the broken hair in front of her eyes, dipped in the Dip in the ink and continue to write.

Shen Zhibai had just finished reading the three case files, raised his head and rubbed his sore neck, glanced casually, and saw Su Rao writing furiously.

The green shade outside the window leaked on her light-colored clothes, the blue hair was blowing in the wind, and the light and shadow were graceful. She sat quietly, thinking about it from time to time...

In her hand, there was already a pile of processed files.

The corner of Shen Zhibai's mouth twitched slightly, she could see ten lines at a glance, he was a little curious about what she had written for so long, so he got up and walked over there.

Bypassing the case, staring at the comments on the dossier.

"The testimonies do not match the results of the autopsy. There is a large difference between the amount of bleeding at the wound site of the deceased and the time of death. It is determined in detail."

After Su Rao finished writing the last word, she put down the pen and moved the file away to dry.

Shen Zhibai briefly glanced at the details of the case, and asked suspiciously, "My lord, what's the problem with the amount of bleeding at the wound site and the time of death?"

"The fatal injury recorded above was not near the main artery. It would take at least half an hour to bleed to death, and the time of the murderer's committing the crime was almost instant death as stated in the confession, which is contradictory."

"But isn't this the confession of the murderer?"

Shen Zhibai involuntarily frowned, and Su Rao replied without raising her head: "If I hadn't gone to the prison, then the confessions of Shi Yi and Yuniang would be ironclad evidence."

"This is too nonsense."

A sullen look flashed across Shen Zhibai's fair face, "If this is the case, even if the case is dismissed, it will still be submitted intact."

Can't change the result at all.

"The local yamen monopolizes power and deceives the superior and the inferior. This is a flaw in the system. It is difficult for us to eradicate it. We can only suppress it first, and then let people deal with it. We can do as much as we can."

In the final analysis, the root cause lies in the administration of officials.

Shen Zhibai was quite helpless when he heard the words, but he also knew that this was not something he, a prosecutor, could decide. "My lord is in a special situation, and it is inconvenient for me to leave Beijing. If there is something that needs to go out, I am willing to do it for you."

"Master Shen, don't worry, I won't let you get a copper plate salary for nothing."

Su Rao said with a smile.

Shen Zhibai laughed dryly, turned around and continued to do things. After Su Rao finished her day's work and returned home to take a bath and change clothes, Xiao Nan suddenly appeared outside the water pavilion, looking at her with bright eyes.

"Sister, take you out to play."

"Ok?"

Su Rao raised her eyebrows in surprise, this is a new thing, he usually takes her out to play when he usually doesn't leave the door.
She asked, "Where are you going?"

Xiao Nan pretended to be mysterious and shook his head, "You will know when you go."
