Chapter 760 On-site investigation
The resident police stood there obediently and was scolded by Xu Xu—Xu Xu is qualified to scold him, and Xu Xu had worked as a policeman in the old time and space.If his aspirations were not for intelligence and the navy, he would have gotten a senior position in the police headquarters long ago, at least no lower than Mu Min.

The Police Headquarters has formulated a detailed workflow and work manual for the naturalized police. Many things have been simplified to make it as easy to understand as possible. It's a mess to describe.In contrast, the professional quality of the police in several police stations is much better.It seems that it is easy to get on the right track only if the veterans lead them to do things.

Now there is a local soldier available for dispatch, which is much better than this ignorant policeman.At the moment, Lian asked him to lead the way to inquire about the news.

Anxi had already asked the confession of the "adulter" in the county government prison-but according to the proposal of the vest, or in accordance with the concept of modern law, it is appropriate to call it a "suspect".

As for the "**"—renamed "the client"—the vest temporarily sent her to the county government prison for "protective detention"—he was afraid that something would happen if the man's clan would arrest her and sink her into a pigsty. The trick, when the time comes things will become a big mess.

Now Xu Xu personally came to collect the evidence of the two people's adultery.After some discussion, the case-handling staff of the Law Society found that the case was still a bit difficult to handle.They inquired about the relevant provisions of the Daming Law and the Great Edict, and found out that adultery is a problem. The Daming Law stipulates that unless the adulterer is "caught" on the spot, the stolen goods will be obtained, otherwise it is "no matter what is caught by the adulterer", that is to say, it is only Relying on rumors or after-the-fact knowledge, the government doesn't care.

Even if it is caught on the spot, it is just that adulterers and adulterers are "ninety sticks". Adulterers "marry and sell from their husbands, and those who want to stay with their husbands, listen." It is only restricted that they are not allowed to marry and sell with adulterers.

From this point of view, the actual implementation of the Daming Law on the crime of adultery is not strong, and it can even be said to be very slight.The so-called "severeness" is just that the law exempted my husband from the crime of "killing him immediately".Moreover, the murder of an adulterer and adulterer afterwards is still subject to legal responsibility.

"I think this legal thinking is quite advanced." Anxi commented, "Evidence is important."

"Advanced is advanced, but our case will be difficult." Xu thought, this way, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the "adulter" will have nothing to do.The failure of the sailors to "catch the rape in bed" was just a "rumor". To put it bluntly, there was no evidence. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, it was the result of "don't care".This is out of tune with the tone of "destroying the military marriage" they originally set.

"It's okay, he admitted it." Because An Xi went to talk to the "suspect" and the "participant" in person, the two admitted that they had indeed committed adultery, and they had been in a secret relationship for about three or four months.

"Confessions are good, of course. But we need to create a legal concept that emphasizes both circumstantial evidence and physical evidence." The vest said, "The legal concept of ancient society is to emphasize confession, which is why torture and torture came into being. , This habit has been carried on to later generations. Our thinking is that we need evidence as well as confession.”

It is not feasible to engage in a modern set of "zero confession" handling cases in this time and space-the Time Travel Group simply does not have this technology and professional ability.Advanced concepts must have an advanced foundation.However, physical evidence and circumstantial evidence represent the direction of advancement after all, and are more convincing to the people than confessions. Vest hopes to convey this idea through this case.

Licensing was carried by Fu Fu and went to the suspect's home first.Both the suspect and the sailor are considered to live in the East Village of Meiyang Village, and both families were born in Fujian.However, the suspect's family came early and settled here more than ten years ago.

"I heard that the old man of his family came very early and worked for others in the village. He died a few years ago. He left behind three sons. This man originally had two brothers, and his mother should still be alive." Fu Bian Lead the way in front, while talking about the family's situation.

The roads in the East Village have been paved with gravel, and the streets in the village are clean, but the overall level is obviously not as good as that of the West Village where immigrants live.Xu thought, it's no wonder that the aborigines and immigrants don't have conflicts!He thought, and asked casually:

"What about the sailor's family?"

"He's also from Shegeng in Fujian, and he's the one who does the hard work..."

Xu Xu listened and wrote it down in his head.I also felt a little unbelievable, because according to the interrogation records, the suspect was a young man in his eighteenth or nineteenth year, and the "participant" was nearly forty years old.Although she didn't look old because she worked as a salesperson in Dongmen City for the past two years and had no worries about food and clothing, she was still a half-old woman by the standards of the time.The soldier said the woman had three or four more children.From the photos in the file, there is nothing attractive at all.According to the nerds, "it can't be hard at all."If it wasn't for An Xi's personal record of the statement, both of them admitted that this happened, Xu Xu even thought that it might be the jealous husband's wild suspicion.

Xu asked: "He is a young man, how could he have such a hot fight with this half-old woman?"

Fu Fu smiled dryly: "Chief, we have always had more men than women here. The Shegeng people who came from the mainland were originally poor, and most of them didn't have wives; and they didn't have money, so getting a wife was as difficult as going to heaven—" —”

When I was a domestic servant, Fu Buer often used Fu Xi, Fu Yue and Fu Yijin as bargaining chips to motivate them to work hard-the difficulty of getting married was the main problem in the counties and states of Hainan in the Ming Dynasty.

"That's right." Li Ke nodded.That would make sense.

They walked all the way, and they had already followed a group of children and idlers.Everyone heard that the chief was going to "trial"—this kind of adultery case has always been a popular case among ordinary people, and everyone wanted to watch it.

The two walked all the way to a place near the end of the village.Fu Fu pointed to the next two houses, which were common farmhouses here, with bamboo and wood trusses, bamboo strip walls pasted with yellow mud, and roofs covered with straw.

But there are also levels of poverty: the straw on a roof has turned black, and weeds have grown, the yellow mud is cracked, and decayed bamboo strips are exposed in many places, and there are holes in some places. Made of reeds.It was half open, and the room was dark, and there was a foul smell before I got close.In terms of dilapidation, it is probably not an exaggeration to say that the village is the poorest.

The other one is much better. The straw is the new rice harvested this summer, and it is still golden.The yellow mud walls are smeared with white lime and repaired neatly.The door was wooden, and it was closed with a lock.There is also a wooden sign with the words "military family" on the door.

Without Fu Fu's explanation, Xu Xu knows who the two are.He looked around, and there was a pile of wood not far away—it was probably used by a family who was planning to build a house, and it had already dried.He walked to the wood and sat down, and asked Fu Fu to call all the family members, neighbors and friends from the two villages.

"Chief, you are going to try the case."

"No, this is not a case trial, but an understanding of the situation." Xu Xu said, "The trial case has to go to court."

"You want to question the prisoner, isn't it called a trial?"

"It's not a prisoner, it's circumstantial evidence." Xu Xu patiently explained the difference, and gave the soldier a little law education, thinking that he should also carry out law education activities in the army in the future.

Fu Fu nodded again and again: "I'll find someone for you right now."

The idlers in the village heard that the chief was going to "trial the case", and many people came to watch the excitement.There was a lot of noise.Even the resident police and Fu Buer heard the news and came to maintain order.Li Xu didn't care about this, and started asking the suspect's mother who was the first to arrive.

The suspect's mother spoke Hokkien. Fortunately, Fu Fu had been dealing with Shegeng people since he was a child and knew the dialect, so he temporarily acted as an interpreter and took notes by the way.

Xu Xu looked at the woman in front of him. At first glance, this person looked as old as six or seventy years old, but when he looked closely, he didn't seem to be that old.

Seeing Xu Xu, the woman knelt down, Xu Xu waved her hand: "Stand up and talk."

"The women don't dare." She probably knew that her son would lose face after committing a crime, so the woman didn't dare to raise her head.

"Stand up and talk, we're not into this."

Fu Fu also chimed in: "Stand up when the chief tells you to stand up. This is an Australian rule."

After Xu Xu stood up and asked a few personal questions, he realized that she was not yet fifty, but her hair was already gray, her face was full of wrinkles, and she was extremely old.The dress she is wearing is a local dyed blue homecloth—this kind of homemade cloth is very strong and thick enough for copper coins, but the clothes on her body are already patched with patches, and the blue has faded in some places, revealing the white cloth body , It can be seen how long the history of this dress is.

Xu Xu asked about the adultery between the suspect and the client, and the woman did not hide anything, she told everything and admitted that there was indeed such a thing:

It started because the person involved found a job as a female clerk in Dongmen City, which included all food and lodging, and the husband at home became a soldier, so there was no one to take care of the house.

"...She was afraid that the husband and wife would leave the house and the vegetable garden would be left unattended, so she entrusted our mother and son to take care of it. My child helps her plant the garden every day, and sells the vegetables received in the market. When he gets the money, he will share half with her. For ten days and a half months, I have to go to Dongmen City to send money and food to her..."

In the process of sending money and food in this way, the relationship between the two people gradually heated up.

"...She sees that my family is poor, so she often visits my house and seduces my son under the guise of helping my mother and son. Our two families are from the same town and have been neighbors for many years. If I knew that she had such thoughts, I would definitely not accept her. Money and rice!" The more the woman spoke, the more angry she became, and she looked like "the son is so good, but he was seduced by a vixen so badly".

"You have three sons, how can you live in such a miserable life?" Xu Ke felt strange. If there were three strong laborers in the family, according to the current salary level of helpers, even if they didn't work in the factory or work on the construction site, they would just be carried by others in the countryside. The income of living would not be so miserable.
