It's already four o'clock, and there is no one in the street, only two bellboys are playing. The watchman suddenly saw a man with a kitchen knife and walked by angrily. He became suspicious and followed him secretly. I saw the man come to a door, knocked it down and went in. Seeing something bad, the old night watchman told the little night watchman to keep an eye on the thief and go back to the county government to call someone.
The little night watchman stared at the knocked-down door without much strength. He only heard a frightened cry from the room. Then someone ran out of the room. When he saw the little watchman, he turned and ran. The little guard saw it and shouted, "Stop the thief! Catch a thief! " Then chase. As soon as the man ran to the bridge, he was stopped by several policemen who were attracted by the old watchman. The police caught the thief and recognized the local carpenter Sun Gui. He escorted Sun Gui back to the house and lit candles, but he was stunned by the horror in front of him. He saw a bloody female corpse lying under the bed with her head cut off and gone. When the arresting officer saw that Sun Gui had killed someone, he chained Sun Gui and dragged him to the county government.
In the county government, the arresting officer reported to the county official Li Zhi that Sun Gui was the murderer. Li Zhi struck the gavel heavily and shouted, "Sun Gui, the murderer, will kill his wife and behead her. Tell me the truth! " Then, under his command, several officers knocked Sun Gui to the ground and beat him with sticks, beating him up and dying.
Li Zhi is a faint officer. He immediately ordered officials to write down Sun Gui's confession of murder and beheading, put Sun Gui in a coma by handprint, and then sent officials to send the confession and murder weapon to Changzhou House for examination, so as to execute Sun Gui as soon as possible. Yuan Zonghuan, a Taiwanese official in Changzhou, was the second person in the dynasty. He is young and talented. One day, he was looking through the files and suddenly saw a murder file and a murder weapon sent by Huairen County. He saw that the handprint on the confession was long and vague, as if the prisoner had been forced to press it. The murder weapon, a small kitchen knife with rusty blade, has not been used for many years, and there is no blood on the knife. Yuan Zonghuan felt that the case was full of doubts and decided to review the case in Huairen County.
On this day, after meeting Li Zhi in Huairen County, Yuan Zonghuan went to Sun Gui's home to explore. The headless female corpse has been removed, leaving only a pool of dried blood under the bed. Yuan Futai returned to the inn and ordered the headless body of Moon Fairy to be carried to the inn for strict supervision. At the same time, he ordered officials to secretly inquire about the son who used to have sex in Huairen County and the funeral situation after Moon Fairy was killed.
One day, Yuan Futai disguised himself as a scholar and made a private visit incognito, accompanying several officials disguised as "family" to the street, wandering around and observing. Suddenly, I heard drums and firecrackers coming from the other end of the street. According to passers-by, Shi Dazhong, a rich man in our city, gave a funeral to the cook who died suddenly at home. I saw the four men carrying the coffin with ease. Yuan Zonghuan felt a little strange, so he let the officials follow, and two officials followed the funeral. The funeral team went to a mass grave outside the city, buried the coffin and left. Two officials marked the grave and immediately came back to report to Yuan Futai. Yuan Zonghuan immediately led a group of officials to dig graves in mass graves. When I opened the coffin, I saw that there was no body inside, only a white silk bag. When I opened the bag, it turned out to be a woman's head
Back at the inn, I closed my head with a woman's body, and it was exactly the same. Yuan Futai ordered the officials to take Sun Gui out of the death row and take him to the darkroom for him to identify the body. When Sun Gui saw the female corpse, he immediately decided that the female corpse was not his wife Li Yuexian. Sun Gui said: "Moon Fairy is slim and fair-skinned, but this woman's body is fat and her arms are thick and black. The most obvious thing is that there is a bean mole between the eyebrows of Yuexian, and this female corpse does not. "
Just then, some other officials who were snooping outside reported: "From the mouths of some philandering sons and hooligans, we know that local Shi Dazhong seems to be honest, but he is actually an old hand in the field of love, but he is rich and powerful, and no one dares to speak."
Yuan Zonghuan suddenly remembered a man named Wu Mouse. According to records, Wu Shu was a boy of Shi Dazhong's family, and then left home to study martial arts at Mituo Temple in Zhong Nanshan. After he went down the mountain, he made a living as a thief, robbing officials and the rich to help the poor. Later, the rich man jointly appealed to the emperor, which alarmed him. After his arrest, Wu Shu was sentenced to life imprisonment. On this basis, Yuan Zonghuan immediately ordered officials to go to the state prison and lift the five mice. As soon as Yuan Futai saw Wu Shu, he said straight away, "We have a strange case that needs your help. If you solve this case and make great contributions, my family will ask the holy one to be lenient and let you go home and reunite with your mother. "
Hearing this, Wu Shu lowered his head and said, "On orders from your Excellency, the prisoner will die." Yuan Futai told this strange story. When Wu Mouse heard that Shi Dazhong was involved, he couldn't help gnashing his teeth and saying, "That Shi Dazhong is a wolf with a human face and a beast's heart ..." Yuan Zonghuan was even more confident when he heard this, and told Wu Mouse not to disturb Shi Dazhong this time, but to go back as soon as he found out the trace.
Wu mouse came to the compound and looked everywhere. By this time it was already the second watch, and people were already asleep. I saw that there was still a light on the Buddhist scriptures upstairs. Wu Mouse performed qigong, jumped on the roof of Buddhist scripture building, hooked his feet on the eaves, came to a "pearl rolling door", leaned his head against the window and licked the broken window paper with his tongue to look in. I saw five or six young women dressed up and drinking with Shi Dazhong for fun. Wu mouse pays attention to all the women, they are somewhat beautiful, but none of them have moles between the eyebrows. Shi Dazhong was drunk and hot, holding the daughters for a while, but waved them away.
Shi Dazhong immediately plugged in the door, turned to the bed, and then moved the wardrobe. A secret door appeared on the wall. Shi Dazhong picked up the candlestick and walked into the secret door. The mouse gently pushed open the window, jumped into the bedroom and came to the dark door. Looking inside, it turned out to be a step leading to the underground, and Shida was descending the steps. After the steps, go down to the tunnel, it's not far. A wooden door with a lock appeared. Shi Dazhong took out his key, opened the door and went in. The mouse ran to the door and looked out through the door. I saw a small room at the door, which was beautifully decorated. Shi Dazhong was sitting by the bed, and a woman knelt in front of him and bowed her head and cried. I heard the woman crying. "Sir, I have been waiting for you for several days. Please be kind and let me go home. I only said that I visited my relatives, and I never mentioned your family ... "Shi Dazhong smiled grimly:" You can't go back! It is said that you have been killed and your head has disappeared. How can you come back from the dead? "
Hearing this, Wu Rat's anger rose and he couldn't help but "hum". Shi Dazhong suddenly turned around and shouted, "Who is outside the door?" The woman also looked up, a face of surprise. At this time, Wu mouse saw a big mole on the little woman's forehead. This woman is Li Yuexian. ...
According to Wu Shu's report, Fu Yuantai immediately dispatched arresting personnel to capture Shi Dazhong and rescue Li Yuexian from the tunnel darkroom. The next day, outside the inn, three shots were fired, drums were ringing, flags were shining, swords were guarded, and a big sedan chair carved with red paint was parked at the door. A man emerged from the sedan chair, which turned out to be a private case of Governor Li Zihan.
Yuan Zonghuan and Governor Li were sitting in the lobby, trying the murder case together. At the beginning of the trial, Governor Li sat in the classroom and shouted with a livid face: "Somebody, bring the murderer Sun Gui!" Sun Gui was taken to court and knelt down. Governor Li called again, "Sun Gui, you murderer, come and confess!" Sun Gui repeatedly kowtowed and said, "Wrong!" Governor Li was about to get angry when Yuan Zonghuan shouted, "Somebody, take the real murderer Shi Dazhong to court!" Before the words were finished, four policemen dragged Shi Dazhong, who had been scared to death, into the class. Governor Li gave Yuan Zonghuan a surprised look and was about to ask questions when Yuan Futai called, "Somebody, send a witness." The words sound just fell and the village head helped the gaunt Li Yuexian to the class. Li magistrate of a county was shocked to see that Yue Xian was still alive.
Li Yuexian cried and complained about her murder. It turned out that after quarreling with her husband that day, Li Yuexian was angry and afraid, so she plugged the door early and went to bed. While sleeping in a daze, several masked men pried open the back window, got in, pinched Li Yuexian's hands and feet, gagged her mouth with gauze, stripped off all her clothes, wrapped her in a quilt, tied her limbs and carried her to the family area.
It turns out that Shi Dazhong has long coveted Li Yuexian's beauty. That day, he heard that Sun Gui and his wife were quarreling, so he came up with a plan to kill the cook that night and brought it to the bamboo slips to plant it. And put the moon fairy underwear on the cook and put it under the moon fairy bed, so that you can hide the moon fairy for a long time; Others assume that the cook died of a sudden illness, and the cook's head was buried in a coffin to hide his eyes and ears. Full house officials serve the people and have admired Yuan Futai's handling of cases. Li, the prefect, couldn't help admiring the second person in the DPRK when he saw the conclusive evidence, but after a moment of meditation, he suddenly asked, "How did Yuan's adult know that he was in the Shijiafu?" Yuan Zonghuan bluntly said: "It turned out that the five mice went to the historian to inquire about their whereabouts. This official is good at making criminal remarks, so please be kind. " Governor Li was deeply moved after hearing this. He smiled and said, "Yuan Futai solved the case very well and should be rewarded." Then he pronounced: "Shi Dazhong, the real murderer, was beheaded immediately, and Sun Gui was not guilty. He was released on the spot, and the five rats made contributions to solving the case. He asked the holy family to lift life imprisonment and put it home as soon as possible. "
