Chapter 14

Situ Ce interrupted, "How was your wife before you left home?"

Mr. Wang said: "She is not doing well. She just grabbed the door frame and scolded me, and then cried. It was so good. When I came back, she lay down on the ground and fell asleep."

"How do you know she was asleep, not dead?"

"She is snoring, how could a dead person snoring?"

"Snoring?" Situ Ce's eyes lit up and he looked at Helanbing. Helanbing was also shocked. Situ Ce had said before that if he died of cerebral hemorrhage, one of the symptoms before his death was to snoring. Could it be that Wang Boss Wang's wife really died of cerebral hemorrhage?

Mr. Wang said: "Yes, I shook her hard and asked her to cook, or I would go to bed to sleep, but no matter how hard I shook her hard, I didn't wake up. I got angry and felt that she was deliberately pretending to be angry, so I kicked her on the butt and went to the kitchen to cook. When I came back to cook, I asked her to have dinner, and found that she was no longer angry."

“How much time did you take to cook?”

"It's just a stick of incense."

The time of death of cerebral hemorrhage is the key to the amount of blood. If the bleeding is slow, it will last for a few days or even one or two months. If the bleeding is fast, it can cause death in just over ten minutes and half an hour. Judging from the bleeding in Boss Wang's wife's head, it can cause death in just over one or two hours. This is consistent with Boss Wang's statement.

Situ Ce said: "Since he died in his sleep, why did you hide her in the cellar without suing the official?"

Boss Wang said with a sad face: "I was frightened at that time. I didn't know if it was because I was stuck in her neck. So I was very scared, so I hid the body. Later, I felt wronged because the stumbling neck should not be killed. I just stretched her open at that time and didn't pinch her hard at all. What's more, when I came back, she came back to sleep and snore on the ground, so I wouldn't have strangled it to death. After I figured it out, I wanted to report to the official, but I was afraid that others would not believe me. I tossed and turned around for several days, and before I could figure it out, the body was discovered. Master, I'm really wronged!"

Situ Ce said: "Okay, I understand what I should ask, and take him back to prison first."

The jailed soldiers came over and carried Wang Boss back. Situ Ce and Helanbing went out to the inner house.

Cai Zhixian was lying on a bamboo-woven cold chair, slowly drinking a sour plum soup. A charming young woman, Yue, the housekeeper of Cai Zhixian, sat aside with a round fan and slap him in a cool air. The two laughed and laughed. The two maids stood in the corridor with their heads down, expressionless.

After hearing the notice that the two masters asked for a meeting, Yue stood up and took the two maids to the inner room.

Helanbing and Situ Ce entered the backyard, and Cai Zhixian got up from the cold chair with great effort and bowed: "Two gentlemen, can the case be found out?"

Situ Ce bowed and said, "It has been found out that after Wang Boss Wang's wife was sleeping and snoring on the ground after Wang Boss returned, confirming the symptoms of cerebral hemorrhage. It also ruled out that the possibility of cardiac arrest caused by accidental stimulation of the vagus nerve caused by the heart to stop beating. At the same time, given that there were no traces of strangulation on the deceased, it can be concluded that the deceased was not strangled to death, but died because of cerebral hemorrhage!"

Situ Ce really wanted to explain this problem in easy-to-understand words, but he always felt awkward, so he simply used forensic terms, which seemed more unfathomable and in line with other people's conjecture that he used magic to solve the case.

Citizen Cai certainly couldn't understand these forensic terms. Fortunately, he had already begun to get used to the new master's nagging and inexplicable words. He didn't ask what it meant, but just asked: "Why does her head bleed?"

"This reason is difficult to determine, because the cerebral blood vessels of the deceased have dissolved and are difficult to find out. Judging from the incident, it should be that the deceased was teased and insulted by her husband. He was sad, angry and ashamed, causing a recessive lesion of the blood vessels in the brain, causing blood vessel rupture and acute bleeding in the cranicular area to death. To put it bluntly, he was irritated to death."

Cai Zhixian touched the rosacea, and he was a little confused: "Boss Wang's wife was teased? Who is it?"

Situ Ce and Helanbing looked at each other, and Situ Ce said, "It's from the East Factory."

"Dongchang?" Cai Zhixian looked a little ugly and turned around and said, "Since the deceased was not killed by Boss Wang, let the case be removed! However, Boss Wang hid his body and misled the yamen. He could not give up and beat him thirty whips before putting it on!"

The two hurriedly bowed and agreed. They said goodbye and returned to the study. He Lanbing wrote the closing statement. After reporting to Cai County for review, they came to the prison and brought Boss Wang out. He Lanbing said: "Boss Wang, the magistrate has found out that your wife died of internal bleeding in the head caused by her own reasons. She was not strangled to death by you, so she has ordered you to be released. However, you hid the body privately and misled the yamen to investigate the case. The magistrate ordered thirty whipping!"

Boss Wang thought he was dead, but he didn't expect that he would get his life back. It was a huge surprise. He trembled, his knees softened, and he knelt on the ground with a gurgle, burst into tears, and kept kowtowing: "Master Qingtian! Thank you, Master Qingtian!"

Situ Ce felt a little moved. In ancient times, no matter how long the unjust case was imprisoned, there was no state compensation. If it was imprisoned, it would be in vain. If it was acquitted, it would be aborted. If it was acquitted, it would be thirty whips and kowtowed to thank you. The ancient people were so pitiful.

The banned soldiers took Wang Boss' shackles and shackles away. The two of them pressed him on the long bench. The other two swung their whips and whipped thirty whips on his thighs, buttocks and back. Although the Wang Boss was in great pain, he thought that he had recovered his life and was happy in his heart. He just hummed in a low voice but did not scream.

After thirty whips, Helanbing and Situ Ce took him out of prison and came outside the yamen.

Wang's wife's parents were waiting at the yamen with their two children. They looked at each other and saw the two masters coming out with their son-in-law, and there were no shackles on their son-in-law. The two old men's faces changed color and their lips were trembling and they couldn't even speak.

Situ Ce said: "The death case of your daughter has been found out. She was humiliated because of a problem with the blood vessels in her head. When she returned home, she quarreled with your son-in-law. Under the stimulation, the cerebral blood vessels ruptured and bleeding, and thus died. It wasn't your son-in-law strangled to death. Do you understand?"

The two old men looked at him foolishly without saying anything.

He Lanbing sighed: "The case has been settled. Although your daughter was not strangled to death by your son-in-law, he was also guilty of hiding the body and misleading the yamen. Therefore, the magistrate has sentenced him to thirty and has been sentenced. It can be regarded as a lesson for him. You can go back now!"

When the two children under the knees heard this, they broke free from the two elders' hands, ran over and hugged Wang's legs, and called Daddy.
