The coldest season has passed, but spring is far from coming, because there is no high hope for Li Haoyu, so every bit of his progress makes me satisfied.

There are two children that I need to take care of, especially Cheng Jiahui cares more about whether I am at home than Li Haoyu, and every time I come home late, he has to ask why, although he pretends to be asking inadvertently.

I didn't want to distract them, so I stayed at home as much as I could.

I walked into the office and saw a dark and thin old man sitting on the sofa, Xiao Shen said to me, "Sister Lin, this uncle is looking for you"

。

I looked at the old man in front of me, and I couldn't remember that I had ever seen him, so I asked, "Are you looking for me?" ”

The old man looked at me with wide eyes for a long time, nodded and said, "I'm looking for you, you're Officer Lin, right?" I'm Wang Hongliang, you handled my case, do you remember? ”

Wang Hongliang's name is very familiar, I looked at the old man in front of me intently, he saw that I was still thinking and continued: "My wife's name is Zhang Lanzhi"

。

As soon as he said the name Zhang Lanzhi, the tragic scene of a woman's death immediately came to my mind.

I nodded, and I remembered that this was the case that stuck with me the most.

It was a case ten years ago, his wife Zhang Lanzhi fell in love with a married man named Liang Jianjun in the village, Zhang Lanzhi was less than forty years old at that time, and when I first met her, I felt that this woman not only had the common sturdy vitality of rural women, but also the rural women rarely had white and bright beauty, especially the two eyes of the black and bright Shangshui Ling.

Her husband, Wang Hongliang, was eight years older than him and was a short, cowardly man.

Because he couldn't talk about his daughter-in-law, his parents asked someone to bring him 19-year-old Zhang Lanzhi from a ravine in Gansu.

After marrying Wang Hongliang, Zhang Lanzhi, who was originally yellow-skinned and thin, became more and more plump and pretty, and slowly changed from an angry little daughter-in-law to a housewife who was also a housewife at home.

Zhang Lanzhi, who was fresh and spiritual, began to live peacefully with Wang Hongliang, and the two gave birth to a son, a daughter and two children, and raised the two children to adulthood.

But since hooking up with Liang Jianjun, everything has changed.

Liang Jianjun is a practical man, originally in the village is also a figure with a head and face, the family life is also good, I don't want his wife to be bedridden all the year round due to a sudden car accident caused by paralysis of the lower half of the body, he is a normal man after all, his wife was paralyzed for two years, he hooked up with Zhang Lanzhi, the two often had trysts together, and this matter spread in the village.

After this matter reached Wang Hongliang's ears, he often paid attention to his wife's whereabouts, but he never caught the handle of the two.

In the evening of that day, Wang Hongliang came home from herding sheep and found that his wife was not at home.

At this time, it was already dark, he had already heard that his wife and Liang Jianjun often had trysts in an empty house at the edge of the village where the pump was placed, he guessed that his wife must have gone to have a tryst with Liang Jianjun again, so he carried a knife in his arms and went to the pump room at the edge of the village, he quietly walked to the door of the empty room, and heard the sound of people moving inside, so he leaned on the door and looked inside, maybe the people inside also felt that there were people outside, and immediately stopped the activity.

Wang Hongliang pushed open the door, holding a knife in one hand, and lighting up the lighter he was carrying with him in the other, just at the moment when he was playing the lighter, a tall man rushed to the door, Wang Hongliang was startled, and stabbed the man in the leg, the man pushed Wang Hongliang away, Wang Hongliang was pushed down on the ground outside the door, and the man ran away from the door.

Then Zhang Lanzhi, who came out of the door, saw Wang Hongliang lying on the ground and understood what was going on, she did not defend her actions, but pulled up Wang Hongliang who fell to the ground and said to him: "Don't make trouble here, go back quickly, we will have a good life in the future"

。

Wang Hongliang, who has always been at a disadvantage, although he caught his wife's affection, he didn't dare to really turn his face with his wife, although he knew in his heart who the man who ran away just now, he still asked in his mouth: "Who was the man just now?" ”

Zhang Lanzhi said with a calm face: "You don't care who it is, I'll just have a good time with you in the future."

。

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked back, Wang Hongliang dared to be angry and didn't dare to say anything to follow, and the two returned home to sleep and never mentioned the matter again.

Early the next morning, someone found Liang Jianjun dead on a wheat straw stack outside his yard and called the police.

When we went to the scene, we found that Liang Jianjun's artery on the inner thigh had been stabbed and he died due to excessive death.

The clues of the investigation soon pointed to Wang Hongliang and Zhang Lanzhi.

When we questioned Wang Hongliang and Zhang Lanzhi separately at Wang Hongliang's house, neither of them knew that Liang Jianjun had died.

When she first questioned Zhang Lanzhi, because she didn't know that Liang Jianjun was dead, she thought that we were looking for her because of her adultery with Liang Jianjun.

She didn't intend to hide their relationship, so her statement on the night of the crime was basically the same as Wang Hongliang's, but she didn't see Wang Hongliang's stabbing of Liang Jianjun, and the two didn't speak after Wang Hongliang went home, and Wang Hongliang didn't tell her, so she didn't know.

Therefore, when I asked her, she only said that Liang Jianjun pushed Wang Hongliang, and she was at a loss to know that Wang Hongliang stabbed Liang Jianjun.

I started to think that she was deliberately sheltering Wang Hongliang, but I didn't expect Zhang Lanzhi to cry after crying after knowing that Liang Jianjun had died because he was stabbed by Wang Hongliang, and she insisted that Wang Hongliang and Liang Jianjun were fighting, and Wang Hongliang deliberately wanted to stab Liang Jianjun to death.

Intentional homicide and injury causing death are completely two different concepts, Zhang Lanzhi insisted that Wang Hongliang deliberately killed Liang Jianjun, while Wang Hongliang cried bitterly and shouted grievances, saying that he was only carrying a fruit knife for self-defense, Liang Jianjun was burly and he was short.

I stabbed him when I saw someone suddenly rushing towards him from the room, thinking that Liang Jianjun was going to hit him, so he stabbed him casually, Liang Jianjun rushed over He was defenseless, and his hand didn't come and fully raised, but he instinctively stabbed it.

Judging from the inquest at the scene and Liang Jianjun's wounds, Wang Hongliang's confession should be true, otherwise the knife would not have only stabbed Liang Jianjun in the leg.

At that time, I was very disdainful of Zhang Lanzhi, a woman who first cuckolded her husband and then decided to put him to death.

Wang Hongliang cried every time he was interrogated to see Zhang Lanzhi, but Zhang Lanzhi refused.

I sympathize with Wang Hongliang as a man, and comfort him every time I interrogate him, and he begs me to do Zhang Lanzhi's job well, and stop resenting myself and letting myself go in the face of the relationship between husband and wife and two children.

I can only comfort him that we will definitely handle this case in a realistic manner, and we will not indulge it in vain.

After several inquiries, Zhang Lanzhi not only insisted that Wang Hongliang deliberately killed Liang Jianjun, but also said that it was a matter of course for people to pay for their lives, and Wang Hongliang was determined to pay for Liang Jianjun's life.

Because the two surviving persons involved in the case insisted on their own words, the procuratorate had always questioned the nature of the case and asked the public security organs to supplement the investigation.

More than a month after the incident, one day Zhang Lanzhi found me, just over a month, this woman has taken off her prototype, she has lost a lot of weight, not to mention the haggard and dull eyes, and Zhang Lanzhi who I saw for the first time is really like two people.

She said that she had not believed that Liang Jianjun had died for so long, and she now understood that Liang Jianjun was indeed dead, and it was useless for her to do anything for him, Wang Hongliang was shot and Liang Jianjun would not come back alive.

Then she recounted the events of that night, and this was her last testimony.

Two days later, we received a report that Zhang Lanzhi had committed suicide.

When we arrived at the scene, we saw Zhang Lanzhi hanging herself in her own cowshed with a red gauze scarf, before she died, she cut the artery of her left hand, and the blood flowed all over the ground, we couldn't get close to her, just watched from a distance as she hung on the beam of the cowshed with a pale face and calm, the cowshed was not high, her feet were not off the ground, her knees were half bent and her hands hung on both sides of her body.

Later, after investigation, this red scarf was sent to her by Liang Jianjun for autopsy, and we found that there were pesticides in her stomach, and the cause of death was excessive blood loss, and the pesticides had not yet come to play a role.

It is likely that she tied up the scarf, drank the medicine, hung her head on the beam of the cowshed, and cut the artery in her left hand.

It wasn't until the blood ran out and her body was soft that she hung from the beams, so we saw blood all over the ground and her pale and calm countenance.

This woman's desire to die was so strong that it shook me deeply.

At that time, most of the love I saw and heard was in the wind and snow of Qiong Yao's novels, the calculation of the exchange of interests in real life, when this kind of love that promised each other with death and life was presented in front of me in this way, I could no longer despise the woman named Zhang Lanzhi.

Compared with her, my relationship with Wu Tianyang is nothing, he can abandon me for fame and fortune, and I will not die for Wu Tianyang.

Zhang Lanzhi's suicide was a baptism of feelings for me.

I got rid of the emotional shackles left by Wu Tianyang when he abandoned me, and finally we sued Wang Hongliang for intentional injury to death.

Wang Hongliang said that he had been in prison for eight years, and that he had been wanting to come to see us since he was released from prison, and thanked us for our kindness to him when we handled his case, but he was always embarrassed to come.

Now that his children have already married and his life is better, he feels more and more that he should come to thank the police who handled his case.

Wang Hongliang's visit made Zhang Lanzhi, a woman who had been sealed in my memory for a long time, appear vividly in my mind again.

Now that I am middle-aged, I have a deeper understanding of life and emotions.

What is love, which makes people promise life and death?

How many women crave the unswerving love of life and death, but how many people can really have in real life, whether it is Wu Tianyang or Chen Jingde, I can't make a promise of life and death, maybe it is because I haven't met the love that can promise a lifetime, I will be so unwilling for the empty years in the future.
