Chapter 132 A Crucial Night
Lu Jinping didn't interrupt him, listened quietly to him, and finally asked, "Have you finished speaking?"
Butcher Qu nodded first, then seemed to suddenly remember something, and then continued: "There is another thing, I always think that Chunya's death is strange. [+Xin^^+ Chunya is a strong woman who will not commit suicide easily. And she knows that I am the one who will do what I promise, and I will definitely do what I promised. Whether it is money or fist, I have a way to take her from Shi Jingsheng. So she will wait for me and will never commit suicide. Then there must be something strange about how she died. I hope the master will find out the truth. If someone is really murdered, no matter who it is, I will definitely want her to pay her life! Even if I die, I will go to the underworld and turn into a ghost, and I will go and ask him for his life!"
Lu Jinping pondered for a moment and said, "Have you told the people in the yamen before?"
"Of course I said it more than once, but no one could hear it. They only believed that I killed Shi Jingsheng's father, because Shi Jingsheng said that he saw it with his own eyes, in fact, he was wronged me, and I didn't kill his father at all. I don't know where he got my pig-killing knife and axe, but I admit that the pig-killing knife and axe are mine."
Lu Jinping asked: "I was about to ask you this question. How many axes and how many pig-killing knives do you have?"
"There are several knives, with different weights and strengths. They kill pigs and cattle, and there are many knives with different weights and needs. So my family has various axes and pig-killing knives. However, my knives and axes were thrown at the slaughterhouses and pork shops, and they have been lost more than once. I don't know who stole them, they are not worth much, and I'm too lazy to report to the official."
After Lu Jinping finished inquiring, he extracted the fingerprints of Butcher Qu's palms and returned to his house, took his forensic survey box and returned to the yamen signing room. The axe and pig-killing knife for this case were still placed in his signing room and not taken away.
He called Captain Bear and asked him to lift all the fingerprints of the constable who had been exposed to physical evidence and killing the pig knife and send them.
Then, he closed the door and used a fine brush to carefully sweep out the powder at each joint of the shank of the stern of the stern knife. Especially the ring inlaid with the shank of the shank. Then, the soil sample extracted at the door of the Butcher's house was extracted with a spectrometer, and then compared it with the spectrum of the trace soil extracted from the shank. The results were excitement to Lu Jinping, and he finally saw an important evidence supporting his speculation.
Then he needs to search for further evidence.
He took out the fluorescent enhancement glasses from the forensic survey box and put them on, then took out the ultraviolet laser evidence scanner, and began to carefully check the handle of the pig-killing knife. Several fingerprints were found on the handle of the knife. After taking pictures with a digital camera, he entered the microcomputer.
At this time, the fingerprints of the yamen constable were sent one after another.
Lu Jinping entered the extracted fingerprints into the microcomputer for comparison. As a result, most of the fingerprints on the dagger were left by Butcher Qu, some of which were from the constables and clerks in the yamen.
All fingerprints available for identification were checked and the fingerprints of Lu Jinping hoped for the murderer were not extracted.
He had expected this result before, so he did not feel too frustrated about it. He wanted to reinstall and look for new clues. Therefore, he carefully checked the various traces on the handle again, including patterns that did not prompt the identification conditions.
After nearly an hour, he finally confirmed a small piece of palm lines on the outer part of his palm on a small, very blurry pattern.
The palm lines of the palms and the fingerprints at the end of the finger are also unique, and can be identified the same. The key is that the palm lines on the outer side of the palm are very vague. The area is too small and there are too few feature points, which is probably not enough to meet the requirements of unified identification.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Jinping extracted all the fingerprints available for identification on the axe handle for comparison, and also found a fuzzy superimposed fingerprint, which also did not meet the identification conditions. However, after careful observation and confirmation, it was confirmed that it was a blur caused by the fingerprint superposition, and it was a mixed pattern formed by the superimposed three fingerprints on it. He decided to peel off these three fingerprints to see if they met the identification conditions.
The range of identifiable palm lines is too small, and it is afraid that the same nodes that are needed to determine the same need will not meet the evidence requirements. However, what Lu Jinping needs is not the evidence standard that meets the evidence requirements of modern criminal procedure law. What he needs is evidence that can make him form a certainty in his heart, and this evidence standard is lower.
But the problem he is facing now is to clear the vague fingerprint and separate the two superimposed fingerprints.
This is a very difficult job for him. Because he is not an expert in fingerprint identification, but a forensic doctor, but he knows the basic principles of fingerprint identification. His microcomputer has a set of fingerprint recognition software, and he first has to learn how to use this software, and the software comes with an instruction manual. Unfortunately, it is all in English, and his English cannot be easily done, so he struggled to read the operating instructions.
The work lasted until late at night, and he finally mastered the main method of using this complex software imported from abroad, which is how to make the fuzzy palm prints clear and the superimposed fingerprints can be separated.
He began to try to make the blurred fingerprints clear and separate the superimposed fingerprints as required in the instructions.
Due to his lack of familiarity with the software, his work continued until dawn. Finally, the first fingerprint of the overlapping pattern was stripped away, and two clear fingerprints appeared on the screen. Although it was still relatively blurry, the identification conditions were met.
Lu Jinping entered the extracted fingerprint into the laptop and found that one of the fingerprints was from the yamen's criminal room clerk, while the other one was not found, which made him smile on the corner of his mouth. Because this strange fingerprint was probably left by the murderer who killed Shi Jingsheng's father.
Everything is difficult at the beginning. After mastering the use of this software, when identifying the remaining overlapping fingerprint, it took only one hour to successfully peel off the three overlapping fingerprints. After comparison, two of them were left by the constable and the clerk of the yamen. The remaining one, that is, the bottom one, is the palm print of a stranger. This fingerprint is different from the previous strange fingerprint, which did not disappoint Lu Jinping, because even the same person's palm, the fingerprint is different with different fingerprints. It is very likely that it was left by the murderer's two different fingers.
Although this achievement cannot allow him to make a final decision, or even provide evidence that can be applied in ancient times, it has solved the most critical problem in his mind. Next, he will further confirm his speculation. He hopes to solve the mystery before noon.
Lu Jinping pushed the door out from the front, and the guard at the door smiled and reported that Yunzi was waiting in the flower hall at dawn. Because he learned that he had been busy, he had been waiting until now. Lu Jinping immediately rushed to the flower hall in the front hall, and when he saw Yunzi, he was walking back and forth. Yunzi heard the footsteps and saw it was her, and happily said, "Brother, how is the situation?"
"Let's go and look for Shi Jingsheng. If necessary, I will open the coffin and examine the autopsy!"
"Open the coffin and autopsy?" Yunzi was very excited. According to common sense, this means that the case may have made significant progress, otherwise such an investigation would not have been conducted.
"Yes! If he doesn't tell the truth, I will be all that."
"Tell the truth?" Yunzi was a little confused, "What is the truth? Are you referring to the truth of the case? He knows the truth of the case? That is to say, is it really a forged case?"
Lu Jinping smiled slightly and said, "You will know after a while."
Yunzi gave him a blank look: "I'll keep it in hiding!"
Lu Jinping patted the servant to call Captain Xiong. Captain Xiong was very anxious and hurriedly said as soon as he met: "Sir, today is the third day. If you don't execute the sentence at noon today, you will miss the hour. That would be a disobedience to the order, and it would be a lot of trouble..."
Captain Xiong admires Lu Jinping very much. He doesn't have to be beaten with Lu Jinping to solve the case. He really doesn't want Lu Jinping to have any mistakes, so he reminds him as soon as he meets him.
Lu Jinping said: "This is likely to be a wrong case. I want to get the last evidence now. If there is no mistake in this evidence and it can prove that my speculation is correct, then the death penalty cannot be executed."
"But what if you are wrong? You will have to take off your black hat!" Captain Bear said anxiously.
Yunzi also said: "Yes, you can't take this risk. It's better to prepare both hands."
Lu Jinping thought for a while and said, "It's good that way. Then you ask them to prepare for the matter on the execution ground. I guess they can figure out the last problem at noon."
The head captain Xiong said hurriedly: "Okay! I will organize the execution preparation immediately. The Lord can execute the execution at any time."
Lu Jinping originally wanted to say that it was unnecessary because he was already 99% sure that this was an unjust case and the death penalty must be abolished. But seeing Captain Xiong and Yunzi were all worried about him and were moved. He couldn't bear to give up his face, so he nodded and agreed.
At that moment, Captain Xiong called two deputy captains to arrange preparations for the execution ground and escorted the death row prisoner to the court to prepare for execution. At the same time, he brought several detectives to Lu Jinping to continue investigating the case.
Lu Jinping carried the forensic investigation box, took Yunzi, Xiong and others to Shi Jingsheng's home. Shi Jingsheng's family was wearing mourning clothes and mourning clothes in the yard, and there was a table enshrined Shi Jingsheng's father's spiritual seat. However, they had not received any news of their continued execution so they had never known what to do. When they were in the yard, two people had already been sent to the yamen to inquire about the news and the other to the intersection's court.
The news from both sides has not been returned, because Lu Jinping has not prepared for the execution. Shi Jingsheng did not wait for the news of resumption of the execution, but waited for Lu Jinping, the chief of the yamen's criminal prison, and the people from Yibangzi's yamen.
