A nagy per, mely ezer éve folyik s még sincs vége (2. kötet)

This second volume examines a protracted legal case through a detailed inquiry into an unidentified river corpse, presenting witness depositions—especially a rafter’s account of how the body was hauled aboard and money changed hands—and the procedural actions of examining magistrates and local forces. The text alternates reconstructed incident narratives with critical analysis of investigative methods, highlighting inconsistencies in testimony, practical problems of corpse transport, and limits of policing procedures. It closes by critiquing the smuggling hypothesis and reflecting on evidentiary gaps, institutional responsibility, and the difficulty of assembling coherent conclusions from fragmented facts.
