When it was time to be promoted, nearly 500 people gathered at the Jinling Prefect's Office, blocking the entire front yard of the prefect's office, and even the walls were filled with people, setting a record of the number of judges in the Jinling Prefect's office in history.

Firstly, it was because of the evil behavior of the Lu family's family destruction case that caused a sensation in the whole city. Secondly, the case that had already been settled was to be demolished and retried. Thirdly, Duan Jiangliu is notorious in Jinling City and is full of evil, but the people dare not speak out. If he can bring him to justice, it would be a great thing.

Of course, another reason is that Zhao Xing launched a public opinion offensive, raising the popularity of this case, and putting pressure on Jinling Prefecture.

Duan Hongfei spent countless money on this case, and the whole yamen was dealt with. Even Xie Yu was bribed. If Xie Yu could not enforce the law impartially, deliberately favoritism, and deliberately favoritism, no matter how much evidence was, it would be useless. The current court trial is basically a pen of the prefect. Unless there is major evidence or procedural error, you can go to the Censorate Office or Dali Temple.

Second instance to be promoted to the court.

Xie Yu sat in the hall and saw a crowd of people outside, he muttered in his heart, why are there more people today? The pressure in his heart doubled. Originally, he thought about it all night last night and had to do things after collecting money. He would not use any ambiguous and flawed evidence, and he tried every means to help Duan Jiangliu get out.

The Dajiang Gang no longer had any objections to the time of the crime proposed by Liushemen and when Tan Shifei tampered with the files.

On the contrary, if you ask, you will prove that you are guilty.

These are all problems inside your six doors, and they have nothing to do with our Dajiang Gang, and even more so with Duan Jiangliu.

The weapon was not found, and there were no witnesses. It was just that Duan Jiangliu happened to appear at the Zhuangyuan Bridge not far from the Lu family by the time of the crime. Duan Jiangliu could not be convicted of Duan Jiangliu. There were too many people appearing at the Zhuangyuan Bridge, so why was Duan Jiangliu the murderer?

At the opening of the second day, both sides were irrelevant evidence and refutations, compared with the tit-for-tat on the first day, it seemed boring, causing the onlookers to be indifferent.

A gangster said, "It's not that the orgasm is repeated, and the reversals are constantly happening. In order to see this trial, I and the shopkeeper said that a relative at home died and all his clothes were taken off. I will show me this? Hey, second uncle, are you here too?"

A middle-aged man said, "Third brother, why are you running here if you don't work?"

"Just join in the fun!"

A middle-aged man in Jinyi said, "Ding Liu, didn't you say that your second uncle is dead and you are going to do funerals? Why are you here?"

The middle-aged man had a dark face and his palms were constantly twitching. Seeing this, the guy said, "Uncle Second, please be calm, I have something to do, let's take the lead!"

Some people feel bored, and after about an hour, they will disperse by themselves. Some idle people are still joining in the fun. It is noon. The ramen, fried dough sticks and small buns at the door have already been built up. There are debates between the two sides, and the hawking outside forms a unique landscape outside the Jinling Yamen.

Xie Yu said: "Your proposal to retrial is not about the discovery of the murder weapon at the crime scene, but can it be found?"

Fan Xiaodao said: "Report to the master, you have found it."

“Support it!”

Gu Dachun held the tray and brought a dagger. The dagger was about seven inches long and was very exquisitely crafted. It was engraved with a dragon pattern on it. At the hilt of the knife, there was a word "duan" engraved. Fan Xiaodao pointed at the dagger and said, "This dagger, called Duanyu, is a private custom dagger created by the Chengnan Blacksmith Shop. We went to investigate. There were four daggers in total. On the fifth day of the fifth month of the fifth month, Duan Jiangliu bought this dagger at the blacksmith shop for fifty taels and engraved it on it. When we investigated, we found this dagger in the dry well of the Lu family."

Fan Xiaodao took out another order, which was the sales record of the Chengnan Blacksmith Store. It clearly stated the sales records of the four broken jade daggers and the buyer.

Fan Xiaodao asked Duan Jiangliu: "Do you know this dagger?"

Duan Jiangliu said: "I don't know. I did buy a dagger three years ago, but it wasn't this one."

"Why did you engrave your name?"

"I don't know, I don't know."

Song Renjie said: "How can the word Duan be engraved with only the word "Duan". How can the millions of Duan surnamed Duan be proved to be him? Even if Duan Jiangliu is engraved, it may be a common name and surname. Besides, this dagger appears in the dry well, but it may not be a weapon to kill the entire Lu family. The evidence is too far-fetched. Lord, I suggest that this evidence will not be adopted."

Fan Xiaodao said: "At least, it can be used as doubtful evidence!"

If the evidence is not adopted, this link is directly ignored and cannot be used as a basis for conviction.

Problematic evidence is not a evidence that can be directly qualitatively given to the case, but it can be used as one of the evidence to play a role in supporting evidence.

The two have different natures.

Before Xie Yu could express his feelings, Duan Hongfei said, "Sir, this dagger is fake!"

Xie Yu asked: "How can I see it?"

Duan Hongfei said: "My son Duan Jiangliu did buy a dagger at the Chengnan Blacksmith Shop, but it wasn't this one at all."

Fan Xiaodao said: "The four broken jades in the blacksmith shop all indicate the source. If it weren't for this one, would you still be able to take out the same one?"

Duan Hongfei said: "Not bad."

After saying that, Duan Hongfei gave a few instructions. Soon, a subordinate came to the hall with a dagger of the same style, "Sir, this is the one Duan Jiangliu bought! His one is simply fake!"

Fan Xiaodao said: "I request cross-examination!"

Xie Yu agreed, Duan Hongfei ordered people to put the dagger on the pallet and hand it to Fan Xiaodao. The dagger was found in the Caobang warehouse and was indeed the weapon he had originally cooked, but it had been boiled with boiling water and wiped all the evidence, not afraid of the other party's verification.

Fan Xiaodao took the dagger before and held it in his hand. He looked at it carefully and said, "Sorry, this dagger is the same style I borrowed from the Chengnan Blacksmith Shop. It was not sold or engraved."

He said again, "I checked with Gu Dachun, who was attending the first time. After the massacre of the family, they found a dragon-patterned jade dagger on the scene with a paragraph engraved on it. However, the latter sentence was deleted in the official archive file. The weapon in the physical evidence room also became an ordinary dagger, and it had not even been cut. But this one was different..."

"I dare to conclude that this dagger is the weapon on the day of the incident!"

Song Renjie said: "Oppose the prosecutor's unreasonable speculation."

"The objection is effective. Fan Xiaodao, if there is no real evidence, do not make inducing conclusions."

Fan Xiaodao said: "I have a question to ask Duan Jiangliu."

"Ask."

Fan Xiaodao came to Duan Jiangliu. At this time, Duan Jiangliu was no longer as calm as before. Especially after seeing this dagger, he felt inexplicably panic. Fan Xiaodao captured the subtle changes in his expression and asked: "Duan Jiangliu, is this dagger yours?"

"yes."

"I have been carrying it with you for three years and have never lost it?"

"No."

"Have you seen blood on this dagger?"

If he hadn't said it wasn't clear, it would be fine. Seeing Fan Xiaodao's aggressive questioning, Song Renjie couldn't help but cough. This was the code agreed in the Yubao Book yesterday. As soon as he coughed, he would answer that he didn't know and didn't remember it. But who expected that Fan Xiaodao had already changed the note of the wax ball. If Song Renjie coughed, he would tell the truth.

Duan Jiangliu hesitated, "This..."

Fan Xiaodao raised his voice, "Have or not?"

Duan Jiangliu was not a fool, so he suddenly looked up, "No! I bought this dagger purely because it looks good, and occasionally used to peel fruits. As for blood, it's nothing!"

Fan Xiaodao said: "Sir, I ask for a blood test!"

"be opposed to!"

Fan Xiaodao said: "Since Duan Jiangliu has never killed anyone, this dagger should be clean. The blood test is to restore his innocence!"

After saying this, the other party had nothing to say. Duan Hongfei had already dealt with the dagger and did not object, and secretly gave Xie Yu a wink.

Xie Yu said, "Transfer to the coroner!"

Corsell Kang Wu came to the hall and saluted Xie Yu. Xie Yu said, "The weapon in front of Captain Kang and Captain Fan is related to the Lu family extermination case three years ago. I asked you to test this dagger. Can you find out if the dagger has been stained with blood?"

Kang Junzhu said: "Yes. After the dagger is stained with blood, it will usually be immersed in the blade. No matter how long it has been, as long as we add some medicines to it, we can detect whether the dagger has stained with blood. These are some secret recipes for our coroner practice, and ordinary people don't know."

As soon as these words came out, Duan Hongfei couldn't sit still.

If I had known this, I would not agree.

But now the arrow is on the string and I have to fire it.

Kang Jizu brought a small furnace, put a basin of clear water, put some alum in it, put the dagger into it, and just wait for the water to boil and then drop the special secret medicine to detect if there is any blood. Duan Hongfei winked at Xie Yu repeatedly, and Xie Yu understood it, "It's noon, the blood test is in progress, and I'll be retrialed in the afternoon! I'll leave!"

After Xie Yu turned into the screen, Duan Hongfei also followed.

The people onlookers were already ready to disperse, but they had been boring for most of the day. At noon, there was another scene. These coroners could actually test whether there was any blood in the weapons. They suddenly became interested. It was already noon, and the shouts of hawking outside the door made them hungry. So they went out to buy a bun and fried dough stick to deal with it, and wait for the show to start in the afternoon.

Kang Jizhu was about to go back for dinner, but two people stopped him, "The magistrate is invited."

Kang Junzhu had already expected that he would come to the back hall, Xie Yu and Duan Hongfei had already been waiting, "See the governor."

Before Xie Yu could speak, Duan Hongfei asked, "Kang Luxue, do you think of the blood test method, but do you take it seriously?"

Kang Junzhu said: "As long as you have any blood, you can test it."

Xie Yu said, "Lao Kang, you are also an old coroner. Let's think of a solution. Unless you have used fire to temper it..."

However, at this critical moment, it is obviously unrealistic to bring evidence and pass the fire. Duan Hongfei stepped forward and said, "This is not the first time we have cooperated. If this case is overturned, you will have to shake out all the money you collected before. We are now considered grasshoppers tied to a rope."

After saying that, handed over a silver note.

Kang Junzu glanced at the amount, nodded with satisfaction, put it in his arms, smiled and said, "Gangmaster Duan, it is true that it can be tested. After the water boils, I add special medicines and the water will change color, but the result is not my final decision?"

During this period, after Zhao Xing and Fan Xiaodao came to the six doors, Kang Jizu was unpopular because he was Tan Shifei's person and his income dropped sharply.

In the past, Tan Shifei could still drink soup when he ate meat, but now he has no chance to lick the plate. Not long ago, when Li Er came to order him, he knew that this opportunity had come. Unexpectedly, Duan Hongfei was so generous, and he only took a thousand taels of money, which was much more than he had collected in the past three years. Why didn’t he perform hard?

Duan Hongfei laughed, "Please, man!"

...

Outside the hall.

Gu Dachun said to Fan Xiaodao, "The Kang Jizhu has misconduct, a person who is good at gambling by nature, and has a very bad reputation in the yamen. If he hadn't received the money and changed his confession, Duan Jiangliu would have fallen into the French Open. If Lord Fan asked him to come for a blood test, it would be better not to do so."

Fan Xiaodao said lightly: "I have my own sense of responsibility."

Seeing that he looked calm, Gu Dachun didn't say much.

It was afternoon in a blink of an eye.

The crowd of people who were full and had nothing to do surrounded me again. It was a boring morning and finally waited for the meat show, and I couldn't wait.

Everyone came to the court one after another.

Kang Jizhu fiddled with his stove and utensils, made some bottles and jars, poured out the powder and kept stirring it up, looking very profound.

Xie Yu went to the hall and asked: "Can Kang Corps prepare it?"

"Go back to my sir, everything is right!"

"Then let's start!"

The onlookers were also very curious to see how this legendary blood test method was so magical.

Suddenly, Fan Xiaodao stopped him and said, "Let's wait!"
