Chapter 3 The Case (below)

  The yard of Li Wenhe's house is not big, climbing a few rows of grape arbor, it is now the remnants of winter, the grape seedlings are buried deep in the ground, there are only a few lonely wire fences.   "Who is it?" Past the hall of bamboo curtains a pick, out of a sturdy man, looks simple, see Tang Yi and Chen Ke, some hands and feet frozen.   Ma Jinlian introduced both parties, "It's Secretary Tang and the town's clerk, Xiao Chen." Pointing to the hanyou, "Secretary Tang, this is my neighbor Brother Chen." Again, he said to the hanyou, "Da Zhuang, there's nothing more for you to do, you can go back."   Tang Yi nodded slightly in his heart, so he was Chen Dazhuang, seems to be a very simple person, Ma Jinlian should have lived a good life for the rest of her life. It is thought that after Li Wenhe died, Chen Dazhuang often came over to help Ma Jinlian, day after day, and finally the two came together.   Thinking about it, inadvertently turned around, but saw Ma Jinlian is rushing Chen Dazhuang winking, Tang Yi slightly surprised, that kind of eye contact seems not to be in the relationship between the neighbors of the two people, Chen Dazhuang naive nod, and then lifted his steps to go out, Tang Yi saw his bare feet on the dark green rubber shoes, his eyebrows can not help but wrinkle up.   Just as Chen Dazhuang walked to the side of the iron door and was just about to pull it open and walk out, Tang Yi suddenly shouted, "Chen Dazhuang, wait!"   "Come here, come here!" Tang Yi waved repeatedly to Chen Dazhuang, who had stopped in his tracks and was at a loss for words.   Chen Dazhuang spoke with a bit of a stutter, "Tang......Secretary Tang......you......what is it you... ...What is it just say ...... I ...... I have to go down ...... to the field in a while... ..."   Tang Yi revealed a hint of a smile, "Nothing, and you chat, come over, let's go into the house to talk." Not waiting for him to reply, also learn Chen Ke's rascal, lifted the bamboo curtain into the hall, Li Wenhe's east room is the bedroom, bedding folded neatly on the foot of the kang, the ground is a cement ping, at that time there are very few tiles in the countryside, such as Li Wenhe's family cement wiped the floor has been very good.   Ma Jinlian, Chen Dazhuang and Chen Ke followed into the house, Tang Yi beckoned them to sit down, a few people are in the chair to sit down, Chen Ke moved the chair to Tang Yi side, whispered in Tang Yi's ear: "Secretary Tang, there are outsiders in the talk is not convenient, right? This Chen Dazhuang is silly, don't spread our words out." Tang Yi said, "Is there a secret to what we said? Or do you want to reveal something shocking later?" Tang Yi found some clues and was in a good mood. He felt more indescribably amused by this green apple godmother and suddenly wanted to tease her. Chen Ke skimmed her little mouth, blanked Tang Yi a glance, wanting to sneer back at the end or hold back, after all, Tang Yi is still her leader.   Tang Yi said to Ma Jinlian and Chen Dazhuang, "Don't be nervous, let's talk about family matters." He began to ask about Ma Jinlian's recent life, whether there are any difficulties, and occasionally asked Chen Dazhuang about the situation of production in the village, Chen Dazhuang and Ma Jinlian gradually no longer so constrained, a question and answer between the speakers also gradually fluent up.   Chen Ke huffed and puffed and pouted, originally thought Tang Yi came to Li Wenhe's home to do what it turned out to be just chatting about some family life, before this kind of window-dressing in the farmhouse less to do? What time is it now? Does he still have this kind of leisure and elegance? Does he think that if he makes the Ma family happy, they will withdraw the petition material?   The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Tang Yi was really outrageous. If she had known that, she shouldn't have followed her here today. Chen Ke had a good impression of Tang Yi, a young deputy secretary, full of energy, and a leader from the academy, the grassroots leaders of Yanshan County at that time were basically from the barrel of a gun, and this kind of gentle penman was rare. The police station director Chen Dahe problems, thought Tang Yi this time to clarify this matter, who knows he said some irrelevant empty words, Chen Ke this angry ah, if not to take into account the status of Tang Yi, has opened his mouth to teach him a lesson.   Chen Dazhuang and Ma Jinlian is also the more chatter the more words, anyway, rumor has it that the Secretary in front of him will not be able to do for long, the two also dare to put some of the usual unfair things shake out, and the town of the second-in-command whining, the second-in-command is also particularly good at listening to people complaining about the listening to the rest of the occasional catch a few sentences, it is the point to point to, tickle the two people in the heart, Ma Jinlian and Chen Dazhuang, this kind of farmers which encountered this kind of chat with someone to cheer up, really the more you talk more and more excited. Ma Jinlian and Chen Dazhuang, who are farmers, have never met such people to cheer up their conversation. They are really getting more and more energized, as if they have met their long-time friends, and their conversation box opens up to an endless stream.   While talking, Tang Yi suddenly said, "Chen Dazhuang, where were you the night Li Wenhe died? Was it in this room?"   Completely unprepared Chen Da Zhuang froze for a moment, stuttering to, "What ...... what?" Looking up, he saw Tang Yi's gaze as sharp as a knife, staring into his own eyes as if he wanted to stare into his own heart, and in his ears, he even heard Tang Yi say slowly, word by word: "At 9:00 p.m. on December 27th last year, where were you? Were you in this room!" Every word seemed to be pounding on his heart, and in that instant, Chen Dajiang's heart seemed to stop beating, his head buzzing, and he couldn't spit out a single word.   "He, he's not here, he's sleeping at home." Ma Jinlian's face turned pale, picking up her voice extremely quickly.   Tang Yi smiled and turned to Ma Jinlian, "And you know where he is? Does the small matter of him sleeping at home have to be told to you as well?" Ma Jinlian opened her mouth and couldn't speak.   Tang Yi looked at Chen Dazhuang again, "You were here last night too, weren't you." Saying this, he pointed at the rubber shoes on Chen Dazhuang's feet, "There was a light snowfall last night, and it was muddy and tight outside, if you had come to Big Sister Ma's house in the morning, your shoes would have been clean and dry, with no trace of mud and dirt?"   Chen Dazhuang and Ma Jinlian both looked at Tang Yi in horror, unable to say a word.   Tang Yi sighed and said, "Forget it, it's fine if you guys don't say anything, then I'll be official! I'll call the forensic pathologist for an appraisal to see if the two of you have a clean relationship!" Pointing to the bedding on the bed, he said, "Do you know? There is a kind of technology called DNA testing, even a semen spot from half a month ago can be tested clearly, Chen Dazhuang, do you know what a semen spot means?"   Regardless of the two people who were dumbfounded, Tang Yi continued, "Sperm spots are the secretions left behind when you give vent to your lust. Even if you think that the bed sheets and bedding are washed clean, there are still more or less sperm spots left behind, and I don't think Big Sister Ma may have used the special deodorizing detergent to wash the bed sheets, right?"   Hearing Tang Yi's boasts about "sperm spots" and other words, Chen Ke's face turned red and she quickly turned her head away, but she couldn't help but perk up her ears to listen to every word Tang Yi said.   "Nowadays, there is a DNA test in the forensic test, which can determine a person's identity through the sperm spots, Chen Dazhuang, as long as you analyze it with your saliva, you will know if the sperm spots on the bedsheets are yours or not, and definitely won't wrongly accuse you."   "In fact, adultery is not a crime, but if you wrongly accuse the government and the public security organizations, do you know what crime it is?"   Tang Yi's eyes roamed back and forth between the two, and finally slowly said, "Speak up, I want to hear the truth, what was going on that day, Li Wenhe committed suicide, but why did he commit suicide, and what happened to the wounds on his body?"   In the law of '91, the Western theory of predetermined innocence that protects suspects has not even been heard of yet, if it is really proved that Chen Dajiang and Ma Jinlian committed adultery, then they and Li Wenhe's death can never be dissociated from each other, especially if Chen Dajiang did not have any witnesses that night.   Tang Yi of course understood this joint, so he added another fire, slowly said, "If you don't say now, then I'll be official, let's ask the city's forensic pathologist to make a DNA appraisal, and then I'm afraid that the cause of death of Li Wenhe's characterization will have to be overturned."   Chen Dazhuang suddenly slid down from his chair, plopped down on his knees in front of Tang Yi, and cried, "Don't ...... Secretary Tang, I said ...... I said, it's all my fault... ...It's none of Jinlian's business ......" Looking at his snotty and tearful appearance, it was clear that his psyche had collapsed.   Ma Jinlian gently patted Chen Dazhuang's shoulder, eyes are no longer hidden tenderness, "Dazhuang, you do not say! It wasn't your fault in the first place, let's just tell the truth." And turned to Tang Yi, slowly said: "Li Wenhe was killed by me, that day he was suddenly released from the police station, found out about me and Dajiang, and Dajiang fought before ...... before ...... that day, it was also snowing lightly. I ...... I had thought he was detained, so ...... it was ...... me who killed him ...... "Ma Jinlian face turned to the window, face showed a trace of ruefulness, perhaps, every family has its own story, her and Chen Dajiang's story, and Li Wenhe's story is far from being so calm as she said, but these are no longer important, hear her words, Tang Yi heart a huge stone finally fell to the ground, slowly leaned back in the chair.   "Let's wait outside, let the two of them calm down." Tang Yi pulled the dumbfounded Chen Ke to the outside of the house, looking at the blue sky leisurely floating clouds, Tang Yi long spit out a mouthful of stuffy, has been lingering in the heart of the boredom seems to be along with the spit out.   It was a long time before Chen Ke came back to her senses, and said aloud in amazement, "Secretary Tang, you're really good, you're also so good at solving cases."   Tang Yi amusingly found that Chen Ke stared at his beautiful big eyes full of worship, godmother to himself to reveal the worship of the eyes, what a joke, Tang Yi just complacent for a moment, and immediately felt a burst of numbness in the back of the spine, this feeling is too strange, never godmother is the object of their own worship ah!   "Small ...... small Chen ...... you go to the village committee to the town to hang up a phone, will Chen Dahe called, the case matter is still given to him to do."   Chen Ke quickly responded, it looks like the little girl has admired himself to the ground, Chen Ke left before he could not help but stutter and ask: "Tang ...... Tang Secretary ...... you said the DNA test what is the matter? " Look at her delicate face slightly red, seems to be ashamed of their own "ignorance", but can not help their curiosity.   Tang Yi laughed: "It's just that kind of thing, you don't need to know." In fact, Tang Yi does not know the development of DNA technology in 91 years in the country, I think it will not develop to be able to through the sperm plaque and other accurate testing, what he said is just blackmail, Chen Ke are not very clear about things, Chen Dazhuang and Ma Jinlian villagers such as how would understand?   "Stinking God!" Chen Ke was indignant in her heart, her mouth muttered in a low voice and left, causing Tang Yi to smile again, this little girl's demeanor of hers was really a fresh feeling for Tang Yi.
