Chapter 51 The Prisoner's Dilemma(2/2)
“What is the Prisoner’s Dilemma?”
"Game theory, forget it, you don't even understand it."
Ding Yi asked Niu Dafu to take Chang Xu down and go to the side hall for questioning, and locked Xu Da in another interrogation room. Ding Yi explained to Niu Dafu, and after a while, he went in and said
: "I just said something that I didn't say clearly. You two are accomplices. The court will find out the murder case sooner or later. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, if a murderer is hired to kill, the hired murderer and the perpetrator are accomplices. They are both executed, but those who commit crimes have meritorious service.
You can be given a lighter sentence, and if you mediate, you can be sentenced to exile. When you get to the place of distribution, you can spend some money to fly far away and save your life. Otherwise, what you have done, whether you are a person who paid for the murder or Xu Jiuye,
There is no room for you in this capital city."
"How do I know if what you say is true or false?"
"Truth or falsehood is not important, but once Chang Xu confesses, he may be given a lighter sentence, but you will definitely die."
Xu Da fell into deep thought.
At this time, Niu Dafu pushed the door open, made a gesture to Ding Yi, and said: "It's done."
When Ding Yi saw this, he said to Xu Da: "Okay, let's go to court. Your testimony is not that important anymore."
"What's the meaning?"
Ding Yi smiled and said, "In order to save his life, Chang Xu has done all the things you have done. As for you, just leave it to fate!"
When Xu Da heard this, he immediately said anxiously, "This job was taken over by Chang Xu, and it was him who handled it from beginning to end. Even if I get a lighter sentence, it should be me."
Ding Yiyi said: "Go and tell the adults."
Reopen the church.
Chang Xu and Xu Da were brought to the court. At this time, Chang Xu still looked calm, but the look Xu Da looked at Chang Xu was full of hatred. Du Jinliang asked, "What's the result?"
Just as Ding Yi was about to speak, Xu Da stepped forward and said, "Sir, Chang Xu did this, and he took over the work. It has nothing to do with us."
Du Jinliang said: "Do you admit that you killed Xia Yuhe's mother and son?"
Xu Da said: "Yes, yes, but I'm just helping."
Chang Xu's eyes widened. He also felt strange. They had only been separated for a while, and there was not even an interrogation. How could Xu Da suddenly change his confession? He was about to speak, but was pushed to the ground by Ding Yi, "I'm not asking you now."
It's not your turn to speak."
When Feng Qianjin heard this, he knew that his plan had not succeeded, so he shook his head and retreated.
"Tell me about this matter one by one."
Xu Daxin said that since he often confesses, if he takes one step forward, wouldn't he die unjustly in vain? If he dies as a fellow Taoist, he will not die as a poor Taoist. No matter what, he cannot be allowed to take the lead in this matter.
Then he said: "The two of us work together to sell pork in the east of the city, and we also do some illegal activities on weekdays. Ten days ago, Chang Xu came to me and told me that he had taken on a private job and asked me to help. After the job was completed, there were a hundred
The two taels of silver can be divided. I lost money in gambling and owed dozens of taels of loan sharks. When I heard it was profitable, I agreed. But I didn’t ask about the details. How many days did the two of us stay at Rujia Inn?
, except for eating and drinking, he doesn’t go out every day, which is fine. Chang Xu observes the mother and son living nearby every day, watching their every move. I thought it was just an ordinary surveillance mission, but three days ago, he suddenly
He found me and said he was going to scare them, so he broke into their room. Chang Xu killed the woman with a sword without saying anything, and then asked me to kill the sleeping boy. I didn't dare to do it, because
After dragging me into the water, Chang Xu used his sword to force me to kill someone and smear the blood together, otherwise he would kill me too. Although I thought about doing some illegal things, I had never done anything like murder, and I refused to agree to it.
, and later heard something moving downstairs, Chang Xu grabbed my knife and killed the boy, and then we hid in the room. That night, we got the money and went out of the city overnight, but we were chased and killed.
Fortune is great, life is great, I can save a small life. My lord, everything was ordered by Chang Xu, I am innocent."
Chang Xu's face turned livid, "My surname is Xu. Thanks to you and me, we still have a life-long friendship. I can't think of such a bloody mouthful. You and I swore in front of Mr. Guan that this matter will rot in our stomachs."
"You said it first!"
"Fart, I didn't say anything."
Xu Da knew as soon as he heard that he had been deceived by Ding Yi. In that situation, even if it happened again, he would probably still choose to confess in order to save his life.
Ding Yi said again, "It is said that this transaction cost five hundred taels. You only paid one hundred taels for it, and you are taking one life. I'm afraid it's not worth it."
When Xu Da heard this, he became even more furious, "He killed the person, and you got the bulk of the money. I was just blinded by lard, and I made a mistake for a while, but I didn't kill anyone."
Chang Xu said, "You bastard, I am a bronze medalist and you are just a wooden killer. I am eight and you are two. This is the rule!"
When Xu Da heard this, he didn't want to do anything anymore. He just wanted to kill people and tolerated the uneven distribution of the spoils. How could he still be silenced? He immediately blamed each other with Chang Xu. They were so angry that the two of them started to fight on the spot. The scene became tense.
confusion.
Du Jinliang took a look and found that the majestic Dali Temple and the highest judicial office in the world were like the court halls of remote small county offices. What's more, there was Eunuch Chen beside His Majesty. If it really spread outside, wouldn't it look like he was a Dali Temple?
Shaoqing is not doing things well?
He was shocked and said, "You bastards, roar in court and beat them to forty for each!"
Six officers came forward, in a group of three, two held the person, and the other executed the execution. Suddenly, the court hall of Dali Temple was filled with wailing. Because the Lord was angry, the officers naturally worked very hard, with the power of forty to kill.
When the stick went down, the skin and flesh of the two men were already torn apart.
Due to Ding Yi's clever tactics, the two fought against each other, and the truth about the murder of Xia Yuhe's mother and son also emerged.
Zhao Xing and Fan Xiaodao were cleared of their grievances and were released in court.
But the case was not settled. Du Jinliang ordered the medical officer to give the two men simple treatment and then continued the interrogation, "You two told the truth, who instigated it? If you are willing to recruit them truthfully, I may give you a lighter sentence."
After the two of them received a beating, they knew that the crime was confirmed. Instead of fighting to the end, they might as well cooperate and strive for leniency.
Chang Xu said: "We don't know either. The employer never showed up. Everything was contacted through an intermediary. That man's surname is Wang, his last name is Bogao, he is known as Wang Ba Ye, and he is a famous broker in the capital."
"The bastard?"
Du Jinliang saw a turn in the case, so he ordered, "Come here, go to Luogu Lane and capture that bastard!"
"Ahem!"
Chen Quan coughed twice and suddenly stood up. Du Jinliang said, "Eunuch Chen, the truth of this case is about to be found out. Please sit down for a while."
Chen Quan said: "To tell you what you don't want to hear, the palace's order is to find out whether the two detectives of Liumen are the murderers, not for you to find out who the murderer is. The investigation of the case has always been done by Liumen.
Du Shaoqing is in charge of the door, and Du Shaoqing is a little overstepping his authority."
When Du Jinliang heard this, he was startled. He was excited about the investigation just now, and he was carried away for a moment. If it was true, as Fan and Zhao said, if they continue to investigate further, they might pull out the carrots and bring up the mud, and involve Qian's consort.
What's more, Xia Yuhe brought someone to Beijing. If he really made a big move and offended Princess Taiping, he wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
Fortunately, Chen Quan reminded me that the case was over and Fan and Zhao were cleared. What does the rest have to do with me? Thinking of this, he bowed repeatedly and said, "Thank you, father-in-law, for reminding me." So he ordered Xu Dachang and Xu Dachang to be brought together.
The murderer is in custody, the case has been tried to this point, the real culprit has been caught, and the case can be closed.
So he ordered the scribe to sort out the records and wait for him to think about it before submitting the file.
Fan Xiaodao and Zhao Xing finished the formalities at Dali Temple, exchanged a few words with Liu Yishou who escorted them, and walked out of the Dali Temple Yamen Gate. Zhuge Xianyu, Ding Yi, Niu Dafu and others were waiting at the door.
Fan Xiaodao took a deep breath, "Although the food in Zhao Prison is good, the air is still fresh outside."
Zhao Xingdao: "If you still want to go in, I can ask Liu Yishou to help you make arrangements."
Fan Xiaodao laughed and waved his hands repeatedly.
Zhuge Xianyu said: "Thanks to Ding Yi this time, you have to thank him properly."
Ding Yidao: "It's just a matter of duty."
Zhao Xing glanced at him and said with a hint of sadness: "Captain Ding has always been unprofitable and doesn't get up early. It's really strange to see you take the initiative to exonerate the two of us today!"
Fan Xiaodao had heard of Ding Yi before, and had seen him in the lobby just now, but now that he came out, he had the opportunity to look at him. Ding Yi is handsome and tall, and his words and deeds are airtight. He also has a sense of Jianghu about him.
Qi is somewhat different from the arrogance in Zhao Xing.
He cupped his hand and said, "Thank you Ding for saving your life."
Ding Yi laughed, "We are all colleagues, and we should help each other. If you are too polite, you will look a bit weak."
Niu Dafu said: "I have also contributed a lot to this matter, so you can't just thank him without thanking me!"
Fan Xiaodao nodded, "Thank you very much for Niu Da's arrest. I can't repay you, so I can only give you a chance to treat me to a meal at Tianxiang Tower."
At this time, the people from the Wucheng Army and Horse Division walked out of Dali Temple with gloomy faces and met everyone.
This incident was entirely caused by people from the Wucheng Army and Horses Division, otherwise the two would not have been wronged for no reason. Now that they were able to come out, their enemies were extremely jealous when they met. Fan Xiaodao came to him and said with a smile, "Master Feng
OK."
Feng Qianjin said: "You are lucky today."
Fan Xiaodao said: "As for me, I have a good temper and don't hold grudges very much."
"How come, you are just a police officer, but you still want to seek revenge from me in the future?"
"No!" Fan Xiaodao said, "I will report it on the spot!"
After saying that, he punched Feng Qianjin in the face.
boom!
Feng Qianjin was punched in the nose, and blood immediately flowed out. Seeing this, Commander Liu and others pulled out their weapons one after another. Niu Dafu and others also drew their weapons, and the two yamen once again fell into a confrontation.
Now that the knot has been tied, let's just tear it apart and tie a tight buckle on it!
Chapter completed!
