Chapter 181: Solve the case and repay the debt at a glance 5]
Chen Zhi's proposal made Zhou Tian understand it after a while.
"Nephew, what do you mean is that I will solve the squeezed cases one by one? Proof ability?" Zhou Tian asked carefully, then shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it won't work. You don't know how complicated those cases are, and many of them are difficult to even sort out."
The positions of the village's travelers are mainly responsible for inspections, but in fact there is no responsibility for judging cases. However, as the aristocratic family grows, the country's bureaucratic system shrinks. In order to serve the big clan, the functions of small officials become more complicated to facilitate the family to run for them.
In this location, Youzi has the most contact with the people in the countryside. For the sake of saving manpower, he gradually has the right to make decisions on the spot. He can contact some of the cases that cannot be judged on the spot will be reported and wait for future review, so that there will be accumulated cases.
Chen Zhi knew Zhou Tian’s concern and said, “Someone used this as an excuse to remove Uncle Zhou’s position. That would be the easiest and most direct way to solve the case. Even if someone wants to do something else afterwards, he would not be able to start.”
Zhou Tian smiled bitterly: "With that being said, the key is that not only the current cases, but also many elderly cases that have been blamed by them. There are too many cases, and there are not three hundred and two hundred. It is impossible to solve them. What can I do about it?"
Chen Zhi's eyes lit up, but he still said calmly on the surface: "Go and watch first."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Zhou Tian stopped insisting. After all, he had something to ask for. Since Chen Zhi came up with such an idea, it was difficult to reject it directly, so he thought of taking Chen Zhi to see the situation and understand the difficulties. If he could retreat and persuade him again, it would be convenient. By the way, he could also ask for a favor.
After the agreement, the two of them stopped staying at Zhou's house and simply went directly to the place where the files were stored.
The little book boy Chen Wu also followed him, but as he walked, he became confused.
"Then what the censor Yu Liang is investigating the case. The young master is in trouble with him. The other party will not give up, and the young master will not surrender. Is he trying to suppress the man in the investigation? He came to Zhou Tian? But Yu Liang investigated major cases, which are related to the court and nobles. Zhou Tian was only a wandering person. The case involved is just a village dispute. Even the case of the Bai family is not as good as that of Yu Liang. How can he compare with Yu Liang?"
Chen Wu and Chen Zhi have been together for so long, and often, they cannot see Chen Zhi's purpose, but he knows that Chen Zhi will not be aimless in doing things.
"Well, maybe there will be some unexpected changes in the end."
As he thought about it, he simply put down his mind and followed with peace of mind.
The place where the Youzi filed the case is actually in the county government office, and is managed by Qiangfu.
Qiangfu is responsible for litigation and taxation in a township, and is a very influential position. Zhou Tian, Qiangfu, just changed his name before the New Year, and was named Hu Yong. He is as famous as his name, and is a moderate person. Since he joined the company, he has been polite to everyone with the creed of not offending others.
Chen Zhi and Zhou Tian went over, and this rose husband didn't use any idle words to stop Chen Zhi. After all, Hu Yong also knew Chen Zhi's reputation, so he cooperated with him.
Under the green light, Chen Zhi soon arrived at the Volume Collection Pavilion.
This museum is divided into several rooms, and you can see someone guarding it at the bottom. That is where the county government books are stored.
The book involves many cases, including confessions in the classroom, records of crimes, records of trials, and even the investigation handwriting. It is a real case file and an important file.
When Bai Qing went to the court, Luo Qian, the swordsman, was responsible for recording the entire case. The entire case was recorded in it. It was very important to the local governments. The book is of great significance, so there was a guard at Zaoli and changed the posts on time.
Chen Zhi’s goal is not this one, but an outside one.
This scroll library is very large, with rows of bookshelves, but the books and files on the bookshelf are scattered, and most of them are placed randomly, and few people organize them.
"This is the storage of several village files. If you want to review the lawsuit, you must first pick the files here and write them on the presentation. There are tables and chairs there, so you can sit and read them." Zhou Tian briefly introduced, "The files have been sealed and resolved at the bottom. The bookshelf on the outside were difficult to decide at the time. If you want to make a reply, you must give a charter. Only with the consent of the prison envoy to request the files and continue to be processed."
This process is similar to the rules I implemented in the army and Xiaopei in my previous life.
Chen Zhi said silently in his heart, his eyes swept across the rows of bookshelf, took out one or two books to check, his brows gradually frowned, and he discovered the problem.
Due to Chen Zhi's participation in his previous life, the case trial process in this era was relatively complete. However, due to the insufficient personnel composition and professional division, new contradictions and problems were born, which made the process more complicated, which made the people below too lazy to handle. All cases with slightly complexity were directly archived.
"How is it? Although the files here are not as good as those of the county magistrate's record, they have also recorded the process and details, and there are not many omissions, nephew..." Zhou Tian was still talking, wanting to take advantage of the files and the complexity of the book, and persuade Chen Zhi to give up his ideas and return to the road to the back door.
But before he finished speaking, Chen Zhi said, "There is a problem with this confessor. This person is quite suspicious of this murder."
"...so don't waste your energy on this... Hum? What did you say?" Zhou Tian stopped suddenly, looked at Chen Zhi with a puzzled look, and asked again, "Nephew, what confessor did you say? Suspicion?"
"It is the confession recorded in this book of love," Chen Zhi pointed to the file on his hand. "According to the confessor's statement, the real murderer will definitely not be found."
The book Chen Zhi’s hand records the death of a rural farmer. It does not involve aristocratic families and does not have many clues, so it was not included in the county government office, but is placed here.
The book records that one of the main relatives of the farmer, one of whom was particularly important was the cousin of the deceased, who found the farmer's body.
At the same time, it is also clearly recorded on this that there are traces of being strangled on the neck of the corpse, and the cause of death also originated from it, as well as some descriptions of the crime scene.
After being shocked, Zhou Tian came over to take a look, but was still confused and asked, "Is there any problem inside? I don't think there is anything wrong with the words."
"The person who found the body has a problem with his narrative," Chen Zhi narrowed his eyes and explained, "According to him, his cousin had a cold three days ago, was weak all over, was ill at home, and was finally strangled to death. No one saw the murderer. He also said that there were signs of struggle and fighting at the scene, and that was the problem."
"No problem," Zhou Tian suddenly looked puzzled, thinking that Chen Zhi didn't understand the logic inside, and wanted to give him some science. "If a person is strangled, he will struggle desperately and will definitely leave traces on the scene."
"That's normal," Chen Zhi shook his head and pointed to a sentence in Yuanshu. "According to Yuanshu, the deceased was not only tortured by illness, but also relatively thin. Such a person was strangled behind his neck and had no strength to resist. Moreover, according to the description in the book, the other party also used tools such as ropes to perfectly encircle the neck without leaving any gaps. Once the meridians of the neck were pressed, it hindered the flow of vitality, which would make people feel dazed and would soon become coma, let alone struggle, so this trace of struggle is very suspicious..."
When Chen Zhi said that it was both meridians and vital energy, it sounded a little mysterious, but in fact it was just described in the language understood by this era.
In fact, he knew very well that the principle of killing people with neck strangulation is not to block the airway and suffocate people to death, but to take the death by pressing the arteries in the neck. The carotid artery is responsible for transfusion of blood to the brain. Nearly 90% of the blood passes here. Once the carotid artery is compressed, the brain will provide insufficient blood and oxygen supply, and will lose consciousness and die.
If it is true as the file says, the murderer strangled his neck with a rope, with almost no gaps or dead corners. If the person is strangled, he can still struggle, leaving traces of struggle. However, the deceased is bedridden, weak and plagued by illness. Once strangled, he will soon lose consciousness. Where can he struggle?
This seemingly simple description has left a loophole.
"There is something wrong with what the deceased's cousin said."
Zhou Tian also realized something was wrong, so he quickly asked someone to write a charter and send it to him.
When the above heard that Chen Zhi was involved, he did not dare to neglect it. He completed the approval with high efficiency and arrested the cousin that afternoon.
At this time, several months have passed since the incident. The cousin had already inherited his cousin's property and had significantly improved his living standards, but he felt more and more uneasy. Suddenly, Zao Li was coming and was taken back to the yamen for threats and confessed quickly.
"What a heartless beast. He murdered his relatives' lives for the sake of some wealth!"
When everything came to light, Zhou Tian felt a little emotional, and then was surprised that Chen Zhi just took a look and grasped the key. He couldn't help but reassess his professional level. Could it be that his professional level is not as good as this one?
As I thought about it, I also wanted to explore the meaning behind Chen Zhi, but I didn't expect that the latter was indifferent.
But they didn't know that the works of the new socialist in later generations were all the same. Whenever a prisoner confessed his guilt, he would have to reveal his true feelings, which would have long made Chen Zhi immune to this set.
"Thanks to Mr. Chen, I should show my merits to Mr. Chen!"
"The young master is very careful. The case has been left for so long, and the young master has resolved it as soon as he comes."
"Good, it's been a big help."
Even the prison history, the prison gate chief, etc. were surprised by Chen Zhi's efficiency and came to thank him one by one. But they said something grateful, but there was still some suspicion on their faces, because according to the following report, this person just looked at the file, said a few words, and asked someone to bring him to solve the case directly. It was too mysterious.
Is it so powerful to solve the case at a glance?
It's probably exaggerating, but there is certain ability.
They all knew Chen Zhi's reputation, and even Wang Mi could die. It was nothing to come to solve a case on a whim. In addition, there were rumors about him and Yu Liang, which also involved the case.
As they thought about it, the few people suddenly felt that this might be a problem. Hurry up and wait for this person to be happy and send it off.
The head of the prison gate still complained to Zhou Tian, saying that Zhou Tian was so unpredictable to attract such a person for personal benefit. It was just that Chen Zhi was not easy to scold him in person, but that look made Zhou Tian feel a little uneasy.
Chen Zhi knew very well that if he really wanted to solve this case, these people could solve it even if they took some effort, but because the rewards and punishments were ineffective, there was no motivation, and there was not much oil and water, so he was left alone.
"No matter whether it is a big family, a small family, or a private family, it is the same. The wealth is touching and the relatives are in a hurry to see each other. There is nothing to be surprised about. Even if it takes a thousand years, it will not change. Uncle Zhou, the most urgent task is to continue handling the case..." As he said that, Chen Zhi's eyes swept across the entire library and crossed the files one by one.
"By relying on these ordinary cases alone, solving one or two, I can't achieve my goal. If I have to make big news, I have to put some effort into it. Two or three cases are not enough."
Thinking of this, he asked someone to take out more than a dozen love books and read them one by one.
But Zhou Tian, the Prison History, and the Prison Gate Pavilion leader looked at each other.
You have solved the case, but are you still not satisfied?
Soon, the news of Chen Zhiguan's case solving reached Yu Liang's ears, which immediately made the censor smile contemptuously.
At this time, Yu Liang was drinking tea with everyone in Binglou.
After hearing the news, Wei Ou and others were also stunned and laughed.
