Chapter 1612 Re-examination and thorough investigation, where to start

Soon, Zhao Zhixian rushed to Chen Dacheng's home with several guards and Liu Dadao all the way.

"My lord, this is the case file of Chen Erlang's murder of his wife, please have a look." Zhao Zhixian presented the file to Zhu Ping'an with both hands.

When Zhu Pingan was flipping through the file, Zhao Zhixian said from the side, "My lord, I have also carefully reviewed the file of Chen Erlang's case. The witnesses, physical evidence, documentary evidence, and Chen Erlang's statement in the file form a complete chain of evidence, and it is also in court. Chen Erlang was interrogated once, and Chen Erlang also personally admitted to killing his wife."

Chen Dacheng couldn't help becoming agitated when he heard Zhao Zhixian's words, and said indignantly: "My lord, please forgive me for not agreeing. My younger brother was tortured into a trick. My younger brother is a frail scholar. My parents didn't want to beat him up." Fingers, those who can eat live in torture, they were beaten half to death, so they can only be wronged and confess."

Zhao Zhixian spread his hands and said helplessly, "Patriarch Chen, it is undeniable that the former magistrate used punishment in the trial, but I brought Chen Erlang to interrogation, but he didn't use punishment. After interrogation, he admitted it himself."

"My lord, my brother was afraid of being beaten. Last time he was beaten half to death. If he refused to confess, he would be tortured until he confessed. If you interrogate him in court, he is afraid of being tortured again, so he has to confess wrongly. "Chen Dacheng's eyes were red, and his tone couldn't help sobbing, "My brother is pitiful. Last time I went to see him in prison, the suave scholar in the past is almost gone."

"Patriarch Chen, please stay calm."

Zhu Ping'an appeased Chen Dacheng, and then waved to Zhao Zhixian, "Zhao Zhixian took a step to say."

Zhu Pingan pulled Zhixian Zhao to the side, and said in a low voice, "Zhaozhi County, this is a matter of life and death, and we have to be cautious. Once the punishment is declared, there is no chance of correction. As a husband, who would say that because of a sentence' Incompetent, go out all the year round and failed to pass the examination of "Scholar", but had the heart to kill his wife; after killing his wife, why throw away the head, this is too unreasonable, and there. "

Zhu Pingan pointed out the suspicious points of the case to Zhao Zhixian one by one, and then said seriously, "So, I also ask Zhao Zhixian to retry this case with me. If there are indeed mistakes in this case, Zhao Zhixian will not hesitate to retry the case." If the case is indeed correct, then the original judgment will be upheld and there will be no disadvantage."

Zhao Zhixian couldn't help thinking when he heard the words.

Zhu Pingan took him together to reiterate the case, it was really for his own good, and he participated in the retrial. If Chen Erlang's wife-killing case was overturned, then not only would he be innocent, but he would be re-tried; if Chen Erlang's wife-killing case was upheld, then At most, it would just take some time, and it would not have any adverse effects on myself.

On the contrary, if Zhu Pingan does not invite himself to participate in the retrial, but retrials the case by himself, if Chen Erlang's wife murder case is overturned, although the former county magistrate was convicted at the beginning, the case is now in his charge, and he has brought it to trial , if the case is overturned, he will also be guilty of dereliction of duty.

Moreover, Zhu Ping'an has a high official position, and he took the lead in retrialing the case. Even if something goes wrong in the future, Zhu Ping'an from the official university will be responsible.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhixian nodded heavily, cupped his hands and said: "Okay, then listen to your lord, if your lord wants a retrial, then I will accompany your lord to re-examine the case thoroughly. Do your best to cooperate.

"Thank you for the support of Zhaozhi County." Zhu Pingan thanked, with the cooperation of Zhaozhi County, a county magistrate who is familiar with the local customs, it will be very convenient to retry this case, and it can save a lot of energy and time.

"Your Excellency, I'm sorry for your dismissal. Your Excellency's invitation to participate in the retrial is to take care of this official. I must thank you." Zhao Zhixian waved his hands again and again, thanking Zhu Ping'an, and then said, "It's just that this case After all, it has been a year, the scene of the in-person discovery has long been destroyed, the victim has been buried, the body has rotted, and many other first-hand materials no longer exist. It is difficult to re-examine the case now. Heavy."

Zhu Pingan said calmly and confidently: "Some evidence has been destroyed, but some evidence cannot be destroyed. Although it is not easy, the truth cannot be concealed after all."

"I don't know where my lord plans to start the investigation." Zhao Zhixian asked.

"Start from the victim's head." Zhu Pingan said without hesitation. This is the biggest and most prominent doubt in Zhu Ping's opinion in this case. Other doubts are highly subjective. Only this doubt exists objectively. This doubt can be identified through investigation.

"What? Start with the victim's head?!" Zhao Zhixian opened his mouth in surprise when he heard the words, and said in bewilderment, "My lord, the victim's head has not been found since the incident. According to the Chen Erlang confessed to abandoning the woods. The former county magistrate Guangpai even offered a reward to the outside world. After searching for more than ten days, the whole woods were turned upside down, but the victim's head was not found. The lower officials also sent people to the woods We searched, but found nothing. Maybe he was already buried in the belly of wild dogs and wolves, how can we find out?"

Zhao County Zhixian believes that a year has passed, and the victim's head was not found after all the rummaging at the time of the crime. Time has passed, and now it is even more impossible to find the victim's head.

Zhao Zhixian did not wait for Zhu Ping'an's answer, and continued, "Also, even if the victim's head is found, it can only further prove that Chen Erlang killed his wife."

Zhao Zhixian reminded Zhu Pingan euphemistically that the idea of investigating from the head of the victim was wrong and the direction was wrong.

Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but shook his head and smiled when he heard the words. Zhao Zhixian had actually fallen into inertial thinking.

"Lord Zhao, the search for the leader is not to start from the forest where Chen Erlang confessed. And finding the leader is not to prove that Chen Erlang was murdered, but on the contrary. The result may overturn the whole case."

Zhu Ping'an said slowly, the voice was not loud, but it sounded like a thunderbolt to Zhao Zhixian's ears.

"Ah? It's not from the forest where Chen Erlang made a confession, so where to start? Finding the head is not to prove that Chen Erlang killed his wife, but to overturn the whole case?! This, this, where did this start..."

Zhao Zhixian stayed there like a piece of wood as if struck by lightning, his mind was at a loss, his eyes were full of question marks, and he felt that his thoughts could not keep up with Zhu Ping'an. I could understand every word of Mr. Zhu's words, but Why can't I understand Master Zhu's words at all.

From the perspective of Zhao Zhixian, Zhu Ping'an's thinking is like an antelope hanging horns, with no trace to be found. He can't keep up at all.

Don't investigate from the woods where Chen Erlang confessed, the world is big that day, where to start? Also, find the leader, why would the whole case be overturned?!

Zhao Zhixian seemed to have ten thousand whys in his mind.
