Chapter 49
The widow often gritted her teeth and said, "Liar! I'm lying again! You said before that I strangled Pang Yan to death because of intentional murder and death. You also falsely accused me of going to Mr. Zhou's house to kill Pang Yan's wife, and it was also a charge of intentional murder. You are not clearly trying to kill me, but now you say these good things! You men are all liars!"
Lu Jinping said lightly: "I said that before was just a strategy to make you not talk to yourself. In fact, I knew long ago that Pang Yan's death was largely an accident. Because you really loved Pang Yan, this point can be concluded from a simple fact: I first came to you to investigate the case. That day was the first day after Pang Yan's death. You said that in the past few days, because someone died, you probably didn't come and felt bad, so there was no business. However, when I saw your eyes red and swollen, I thought I was staying up late at first, but later, I recalled the scene you saw from all the signs that I realized that you have been crying for the past few days and your eyes were swollen. Although you covered it with cosmetics, you were not able to cover it up. You were sad for him for several days and didn't open the door. From this we can see how deep your feelings for him are."
Widow Chang stared at Lu Jinping with wide eyes, as if she couldn't believe his words.
Lu Jinping continued, "I actually know that you didn't go to the Zhou family to kill people. You are not such a cruel person, and you can't do it alone by a woman to break into their house to kill the hostess inside. What's more, the third son said, when he saw you come out, he didn't carry any weapon. If you want to kill, at least you have to bring a knife."
Widow Chang was stunned for a moment and looked at him and said, "But you have always said that I deliberately murdered and strangled Pang Yan, and I have never said it was an accident. What is the explanation?"
"Actually, I suspected from the beginning that this case was an accidental murder. Because of the means of strangulation, the usual practice is to use a rope to wrap around the erect neck one or two times, and then pull it hard, without using a rope to press the victim's half of the neck to tie the murder. The captain bear once said that one possibility is to push the neck from behind and grab the rope with both hands. However, it is possible to do this between two men with equal physical strength. But your opponent is a fat body
A strong and strong man, your physical strength is far less than him. If you really want to use this method, it is basically impossible to strangle him to death. Therefore, when I heard that he was drunk at your house, I suspected that it was an accident. He might be drunk, his neck pressed on the rope, and his mistakes caused death. The autopsy results are in line with this speculation. Later verification also proved this point. He died of accidental murder. According to the Ming Dynasty law, in general, the sentence of manslaughter is very light. There is no need to pay for his life."
Widow Chang was dumbfounded, then he said angrily: "Since that's the case, why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known, how could I have been determined to kill you!"
"I had no choice but to do it," Lu Jinping sighed. "Although the scope of this case is very small, and I suspect it was you who did it, I can't provide sufficient evidence. I have to let you admit it yourself. Only by saying that you were murdered can you be forced to tell the truth. The explanation is actually an accident. In comparison, choosing a false crime is much lighter than the serious crime I said. You should confess the truth. In this way, if you don't ask for it, the case will be solved. This is the result I hoped for, and this result has also been achieved. You confessed so, but I didn't expect that you would have a bad intention to kill me later. Of course, I can't say that I didn't expect it at all, because I let my girl lurk outside the window and ready to subdue you at any time. Now, this worry is not groundless, but it still works."
Widow Chang stared at Lu Jinping, and her shocked eyes gradually turned into cruelty. She gritted her teeth and said, "Liar! You men are liars! Pang Yan is, and you lord is too! Everyone is! They all lie to me, I won't believe you, bastard, no one will believe you...!"
"Take it away!" Captain Bear waved his hand and ordered.
The constable escorted Widow Chang away, who was cursing, and the winery returned to peace.
Lu Jinping walked to the corner of the wall, picked up the cracked guqin, plucked the strings, and made a squeaking sound, which was indeed a bit like playing cotton. He sighed and said, "With meeting a soulmate in the mountains and flowing water, Chang Widow can be regarded as Pang Yan's soulmate. Unfortunately, in the end, the song ended up dispersing..."

A few days later one morning.
Lu Jinping was sitting in his own signing room in the medicinal materials warehouse in Tongzhou Prefecture Yamen, bored and flipping through a book. At this time, footsteps came from the door.
Then, Luo Sifa and Captain Xiong appeared at the open door, smiling all over the faces.
Lu Jinping put the book in his hand on the table, stood up and bowed, "Meet Sifu Luo!"
Luo Sifa quickly stepped in, bowed his hand and said with apologizing, "Sir Lu, I'm here to tell you a good news. Well, it may not be considered good news, or it's the reuse of you by Governor Feng, - this is not very accurate. Or, a new errand assigned to you by Governor Feng. - Yes, a new errand. Hahaha."
"Oh, what's the errand?"
Luo Sifa smiled and said, "Last time, you only took one day and one night to solve the case where Mr. Zhou's son-in-law Pang Yan was strangled by Widow Chang. I didn't expect that the case could be solved. I didn't expect that you could solve it in such a short time, and it was so beautiful. I heard Captain Xiong tell the story before and after, especially when you were good at dissecting the corpse. From the dissecting, the real cause of death was the strangle mark on the neck and not the kick in the stomach. Therefore, in the end, Governor Feng convicted Chang Widow Chang for murder, and of course, she also wanted to murder you and Captain Xiong. And according to intentional injury, the calf beat the board and put it down. The unique aspect of dissecting the corpse
Professional talent, Captain Xiong and other coroners praised him, saying that you are the only one in Tongzhou. Even those coroners who can dissect this kind of anatomy do not have the same ability as you. It would be a pity if there is no place to use this ability. Therefore, I gave a suggestion to Governor Feng, suggesting that you will be subject to autopsy in the future murder case in Tongzhou. After Governor Feng heard my report, he praised you very much. He immediately wrote a comment on my submission, asking you to assist me in investigating the case in the future, and specifically responsible for autopsy and injury tests. This is an errand assigned to you by Governor Feng himself, reflecting Governor Feng's attention to your talents, so I came to tell my brothers specifically."
Lu Jinping couldn't help but be surprised and happy: "Really?"
Rosma quickly handed over a document in his hand. This was the trial report he submitted to Governor Feng about the murder of Pang Yan, the son-in-law of Mr. Zhou. On it, Long Feifengwu commented on a few lines of small words, which were written by Governor Feng. After Lu Jinping read it, it was indeed the same as what Luo Sifa said.
Lu Jinping was very happy. Now he was just a doctor of the ninth rank. The criminal officer of the prefecture government, that is, the judicial officer, is a seventh rank official, and is still a big shortcoming. He can't become a criminal officer at once, but being able to participate in the investigation of criminal cases is already a threshold for entry. The next step is to rely on his own efforts. He believes that he will climb up step by step and eventually become a criminal officer.
Lu Jinping was happy, but then he remembered that he had not invited two people to sit down and serve tea. He quickly called them to sit down and called the attendants from the clinic to come in to make tea.
Luo Sifa was not polite to sit down on the couch, but Captain Xiong did not sit, but just stood beside him and bowed. Lu Jinping was a little surprised: "Why don't you sit?" Captain Xiong hurriedly said: "Where are there any villain's seats in front of the two adults?"
Lu Jinping frowned and said, "What kind of adults are villains? Governor Feng is adults. We are all villains. Oh no, we are all ordinary people. Okay, sit down quickly. I feel tired when I see you standing. It's so tall like a wall, and half of the light is blocked by you."
When he heard this, Captain Xiong smiled dryly, but still didn't sit down, but his eyes looked at Luo Sifa.
Because Luo Sifa is from the seventh rank, and his official rank is much higher than Lu Jinping. Although he is signing a house in Lu Jinping's medicinal materials warehouse, he still has to listen to Luo Sifa's greetings.
Luo Sifa smiled and nodded and said, "You are asking Master Lu to sit down quickly, why don't you sit down quickly? Do you not listen to the Lord's words?"
Captain Bear thanked him only and sat half of his butt, supported his legs, and respectfully.
