Chapter 376: Meeting a Peer
In fact, it is not difficult to investigate this matter, as long as you find the people in the village who were at the scene and ask, you can find out. Even if one of them is biased towards one family, you can basically judge who is telling the truth by asking a few more questions.
However, this question cannot be done by Yan Ming, he is a police officer, not to mention that asking about old cases will cause trouble - the people who handled the case back then will definitely be unhappy, only saying that those villagers may not be able to tell him the truth because of their entanglement.
So Li Yi called Zhou Xiaoyan.
As a journalist, it makes sense to investigate and interview, and as long as you make sure that you don't leak the interviewer's information, it's easier to dig up the truth.
So Li Yi drove Zhou Xiaoyan to that village, but the place was far away in the western suburbs, which was already bordering the county below. Unlike the rapid development of the suburbs of the city, although it is not bleak, it is no different from the ordinary countryside.
The two families of the incident were in the west of the village, and three days after the incident, there was still a mourning shed at the door, and all three men in the family died, leaving only three widows with tears in their eyes.
"Forget it, there's no need to interview them, even if the case back then was boring, they would never speak. Li Yi said.
Before Zhou Xiaoyan could speak, she saw a man and a woman walking over, the woman was holding a microphone and the man was carrying a camera, but a reporter who didn't know where came to interview.
"Did you meet a peer?" Li Yi said.
"Look at the label on their microphone, what kind of website it should be. Zhou Xiaoyan said, "The competition to be a reporter is fierce these days, I thought I was desperate enough, and people came earlier than us." ”
"Hehe, they interviewed them, let's just investigate ours, let's go. Li Yi said, and started knocking on the door from another house next to him, and then Zhou Xiaoyan came forward to ask questions, which was nothing more than what he saw when he was not present at the time of the incident.
In fact, this kind of interview and investigation is the most boring, and you don't know if what people say is true or not.
interviewed two families, but the answer given was completely opposite, one said that the youngest son killed someone, because his father shouted "beat, kill me to pay for my life", poor little son really beat people to death, but his father didn't talk much, or let the younger son go to prison.
The other family said that after his son shouted, it was the eldest son who did it, and in the end, he spent money to make the underage son bear the blame.
What else can I do in such a situation, I can only continue to investigate the next one.
But before the door of the third house rang, they heard a commotion on the other side of the mourning shed, Li Yi and the others turned around to look, but saw a group of family members wearing filial piety cloths, who were arguing around the two reporters.
"Go over and see. Zhou Xiaoyan moved forward without saying a word, and Li Yi had no choice but to follow.
"What do you mean? Three members of my family were killed, but you didn't say how vicious the murderer was, but what old case from more than 20 years ago was investigated?
"Do you still have a conscience? Before people are in the ground, you are going to pour dirty water on our heads? Is there any heavenly reason?" another family member shouted.
"You died so miserably, as soon as you died, someone bullied us, how can we live as orphans and widows......" the woman cried.
When Li Yi heard this, he hurriedly dragged Zhou Xiaoyan, this matter can't be controlled, because we also want to overturn the case!
Zhou Xiaoyan was dragged out of the crowd, and the two hid at the head of the village and waited, and the two reporters came back in disgrace after a while.
Li Yi went over to say hello to them, showed his identity and was also a reporter, and said that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, so let's talk about it in detail in another place, and then get in the car and leave, and the two of them also drove the car to follow.
After leaving the village and going on the main road, I found a small restaurant on the side of the road to park.
In fact, it was not early, so I simply ordered a few dishes and said while eating, which was nothing more than an exchange of survey results.
"You also want to investigate the case back then?" Li Yi said.
"No," the other party said with a bitter face, "Let's just have a normal interview, and during the interview, someone said that the case was wrong, so that guy was unhappy, so he killed someone." After the interview just now, I mentioned the situation of the year with one more sentence, who knew that the old lady would immediately spill, and then their family would stop working......"
Li Yi and Zhou Xiaoyan exchanged glances, if the other party didn't have a ghost in his heart, would the reaction be so big?
"By the way, you didn't come here for the case, did you?" asked the other party.
"Well, we also heard someone say this, so we thought about coming over to investigate, who knew that you just asked the two families and you quarreled. Zhou Xiaoyan said.
"Heh, that's to blame for us interfering with your interview. The one laughed.
"Don't say that, it's not easy for us to be reporters, it's actually normal to get into trouble in interviews, just help each other more. Zhou Xiaoyan said.
"What you said makes sense, thank you for your understanding, hehe. The one laughed.
"Do you think this is good? Let me see the content of your interview?" Zhou Xiaoyan said.
"This ......" The other party was embarrassed, and the two looked at each other, but no one dared to agree, after all, it was the result of their busy afternoon.
"Hey, don't worry, I'm not asking you for materials, I'm just looking at it myself, so I know it in my heart, and I will have to take a detour when I come back tomorrow, so I don't have to repeat the interview angle with you. Zhou Xiaoyan said.
As soon as I heard it, I didn't want to copy, but if I just looked at it, it was easy to say, the other party took the camera, and of course the digital camera could be played back directly, Zhou Xiaoyan and Li Yi watched it on the spot.
There were a lot of people they interviewed, but most of them asked about the situation when this case occurred, and only a small number of previous grievances were interspersed in the middle, and a few of them expressed sympathy for the murderer, but they said that the case was greasy back then, and it was obviously the eldest son who killed the people, but in the end it was the younger son who was guilty. The seventeen-year-old boy lived for three and a half years, and when he came out, he still married a wife and had children, and his life was not delayed at all.
But the other family has a dead mother, no one has raised him since he was a child, and no one has helped him get married when he grows up, so it is inevitable that he will be prone to extremes.
"If what they say is true, the guy who killed the person has hatred in his heart and deserves sympathy. Li Yi said.
"That's what we think too. The man with the camera said, "But there's one more important thing I am, look at what the interview says next......
Next, a middle-aged and elderly woman appeared in the camera, but she told the story of the tragedy that year, the police came to investigate, and even conducted an autopsy on the spot, cutting the scalp of the deceased in the village and sawing the skull of the deceased to determine which fatal injury was.
And there is no shortage of onlookers in the village during this whole process, including the son of the deceased, the murderer who is now killing!
