Assist from the Two Pigs!
When Cui Hua heard this, she really wanted to spit at her, but she also knew that this was a court. If her husband couldn't say it, then she would say it.
"Magistrate, why don't people run out when the house is on fire?" Cui Hua asked. Their room was at the innermost part of the room. My husband and I first searched for Zhang Quan's body from the door. We only found it under the bed. Because of the bed, Zhang Quan's body was relatively complete. Even if he was unconscious, it was impossible for him to be still under the bed when the fire started!”
When the county magistrate heard this, he lowered his head and pondered. He couldn't think of anything for a long time. The surrounding crowd also couldn't think of how to solve the case.
Fang Jun thought for a moment and said," This is easy to distinguish. Find a thatched hut and divide it into two rooms. Take two pigs and kill one of them. Place it in the left room. Leave one alive and put it on the right. Then I will pile up firewood around the hut and burn it, and I will make a decision.”
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this. How was this decision made? Could it be that this was a slap to the face to pretend to be fat?
The surrounding crowd also began to discuss animatedly.
"Two pigs, what are you doing? Roast pig?" A woman said.
"Why would there be roast suckling pig in court?”Another woman argued.
"But why burn two pigs?”A young master stroked his chin and said.
"I don't know. Let's wait and see." a man said as he looked inside.
The county magistrate also felt that Fang Jun's words were strange. He turned to look at the bailiff, and the bailiff said to Fang Jun,"Yes, sir! Lord Fang."
The leader of the bailiffs looked at the crowd and said,"Let's split into two groups to find the grass and the pig. This way, it will be faster."”
The bailiffs agreed one after another. However, after a while, they found Grass and Pigs. When everything was ready, the head of the bailiffs ran into the court and bowed."Lord Fang, everything is ready. We need to go to the courtyard.”
Fang Jun nodded and led everyone into the courtyard. The commoners also walked in to see this scene.
The fire burned fiercely. The dead pig did not move at all, while the living pig kept crying out. The cry was very tragic.
There were also some people who couldn't bear to see this.
After the fire, Fang Jun looked at the two pigs and said to everyone,"Look, the pig on the left is dead, so it's not breathing. Naturally, there's no ashes in its nose."
Everyone saw that although the pig's body was burnt black, its nostrils were clean.
Fang Jun pointed at the pig on the right and said," The live pig on the right naturally knows how to breathe. Under the raging fire, it naturally inhales a lot of ashes through its breathing. Look at it compared to the left. Its nose is black.”
Everyone's eyes lit up as soon as they heard that. In this way, they could completely tell whether the corpse had died before being killed or was burned to death by the fire. In this way, according to the results of the examination, it would prove whether Xiu Lan was a suspect or not.
The commoners who didn't think highly of Fang Jun were also slapped in the face. They were also very convinced of Fang Jun. Many people looked at Fang Jun with admiration. They didn't expect this Lord Fang to have such ability.
The county magistrate was also extremely happy. He didn't expect Fang Jun to have such ability.
The county magistrate brought a group of people to the court, and the bailiff also brought the coroner.
The coroner looked at the county magistrate and Fang Jun and hurriedly bowed.
The magistrate looked at the coroner and said,"Go and see if there is wood ash in the nasal cavity of the deceased."”
"Yes, Magistrate." the coroner replied.
After the coroner finished speaking, he walked towards the corpse. He looked at the corpse that was covered by the clothes and pulled it up to reveal the head of the deceased, Zhang Quan.
Seeing Zhang Quan like this, Xiu Lan was extremely afraid, and her hands kept trembling.
Cui Hua looked at Xiu Lan's appearance and was even more certain that Xiu Lan was the murderer!
The coroner used a pair of tweezers to hold a small piece of cotton to wipe the nose and mouth of the deceased. Then, he took the small piece of cotton and put it into the nasal cavity of the deceased.
A moment later, the cotton was taken out and it was still as clean as new. The coroner put the cotton into another nostrils and took it out again. It was also as clean as new.
When the coroner saw this result, he put the things aside and bowed to Fang Jun."Lord Fang, there's no dust in the victim's nasal cavity.”
When Cui Hua and Zhang Zhi heard this news, they looked at Wang Xiulan with anger.
Xiu Lan's body went limp as she argued unwillingly,""Why don't you look at your mouth? What if you breathe through your mouth?”
Fang Jun looked at Xiu Lan and said," The nasal cavity and the mouth are connected by a trachea. Even if you breathe through the mouth, there will be dust in the nasal cavity. It is not as clean as that cotton. Moreover, the deceased is already dead. The blood has already coagulated. How can you open his mouth? Unless there is someone as strong as a cow. However, the deceased's jaw will also be dislocated. If you breathe through the mouth like you said, then the mouth naturally does not need to be opened.”
Hearing Fang Jun's words, Xiu Lan's face turned ashen. She knew that she couldn't escape.
The county magistrate said angrily," The evidence is conclusive. You must have murdered your husband together with the adulterer. Then, you created the illusion of being burned to death by fire. Now that you have this evidence, what do you have to say?!"”
Xiu Lan looked at Fang Jun's serious face and panicked. She knelt on the ground and said with her head lowered,"I plead guilty!"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Xiu Lan in shock. They didn't expect this woman to be so bold. Not only did she hook up with a man outside, but she also plotted to murder her husband with him! How heartless.
When Zhang Zhi heard this, he roared,"My brother brought you up so well, but you wanted to harm him for the sake of an adulterer. If you don't like my brother, why did you tell him to divorce you? Why did you have to kill my brother?”
Everyone felt that Zhang Zhi's words were very reasonable. This woman was really too despicable. She even wanted to kill her own husband. She was really vicious!
Cui Hua continued,"Although everyone knows that you're not a woman, they're afraid that Zhang Quan will find out. You're not doing well in the Zhang family, so you kept everything from Zhang Quan. I think you're blinded by oil. You're living a good life, but you want to kill others."”
Xiu Lan heard everyone's insults and laughed out loud,""So what if I'm a promiscuous woman? Zhang Quan can't give me happiness, so what if I throw myself into someone else's arms?”
Everyone didn't expect this Xiu Lan to be so shameless as to say such words.
Cui Hua was so angry that she wanted to die. She said fiercely,"Since you're so powerful, then tell me how you harmed Zhang Quan!”
"I'm not afraid of you!" Xiu Lan said fearlessly.”
Hearing this, the others who were still cursing all shut their mouths. No one had expected that this Xiu Lan could tell them about the murder. This was unprecedented.
"Yesterday, I told Zhang Quan that I was going back to my parents 'home after I got up."”
Xiulan seemed to be lost in her memories.
